TZONE Monterey

Crema's Take
“TZONE Monterey wins hearts with their boba and creative signature drinks, backed by genuinely attentive staff who keep customers coming back despite the limited menu. The spacious, laptop-friendly layout makes it an inviting spot to settle in, though the cleanliness and presentation could use some attention to match the quality of what's in the cup.”

I really love the boba, it is good and the service is always amazing. But, the place is super dirty, the walls, the couch, the floors and trash everywhere. ( This was also like this on the dot when they opened) Everytime I go it’s always so dirty. It just makes me think, if that’s how dirty it is in the front then how is the Hygiene in the back ? I think it’s an issue that can be 100 percent fixed ! I would feel so much for comfortable !
Good drinks, but my Oreo blaster’s appearance did not turn out at all like the menu showed it. Friendly and patient staff, so I would visit again to try a different drink.
Pros: Plenty of space to sit. Friendly employees. Decent prices. Cons: I ordered one of the tropical/fruity teas with boba and it was extremely bitter. I asked for more sweetener to be added, which the employee happily obliged. The sweetener helped a little but it still wasn’t great. The honey boba itself was a bit soggy.
The place is pretty spacious. The menu is really small and limited compared to other boba places I've been to in other cities. I wish they had more to choose from. The music is fun but a little too loud when ordering. We ordered 7 drinks and upon receiving them asked for a cup holder or bag. They did not have anything. The girl who took my order was not helpful. It took another person to offer us a makeshift holder so we wouldn't have to hold all 7 drinks individually. Overall not good but not bad so just an average boba place.
Drinks were great. Though their menu isn't big, there are great options for variations. It took a while for them to take our order. Once another employee came on, our order was taken promptly and made very quickly.
