Surf City Squeeze

I’ve worked here for about 5 years and left this past October because I got a new job. I honestly love the drinks here. And it’s definitely not because I worked here. I love the soymilk base that is used and I love the thickness that is achieved by the soymilk as the base. I love that there is no dairy in the drinks. My favorite used to be the green tea but It changed to the black milk tea. I loveeee boba! I used to never know the difference between freshly made boba and over night or day long boba, but now I do! I love when the boba hardens. FYI: if boba is left to sit in a smoothie for a specific amount of time, it will harden. So if you do not like your bobas to freeze up, stir frequently and drink up, lol.
I would have given 5 stars, but the only reason why I didn’t is because I do believe the prices are pretty high. But it Is understandable. As minimum wage increases, so do prices. Of you really want your drink, you will get it :). I love that we don’t have taxes!
If surf city ever closes down, i will be devastated. I have yet to find a place that will quench my thirst the way this place does. And I totally not trying to be biased. I have tried other boba places, but I really do favor the mixes and bases we use here. Try it out if you dont mind spending a bit of cash. If you are nice to the girls, we dont mind helping you out to the best of out abilities if the drinks aren’t to your liking. But if you come off rude, I can’t help you there, lol. Goodluck.

Expensive and mediocre in taste pretty much sums this place up. I ordered a large Black Milk Tea with Boba which came out to $ 7.45. Their «large» was bigger than almost all of the completion’s «large» but the taste just wasn’t there.
First of all, I couldn’t taste anything that closely resembled black tea. It was sweet and creamy but that’s about it. Additionally, the boba was completely flavorless. If you are familiar with boba, then you know good boba has a distinct taste that adds more than just texture to the drink.
Service was OK, not super friendly but not bad, and fast… fast because I was the only customer, which might have something to do with their product and Priceline. I’m not sure how this place stays in business.
For those of you still willing to give this place a try, it is situated directly across from the Food Court on the left hand side of the hallway that leads to the restrooms. Good luck if you do. Maybe some of their other products are better.
Needless to say, I won’t be back. Stores that offer these types of drinks are popping up all over Fresno and almost all of them offer a better product at a better price. The only thing this place has going for them is location.

I love Surf City Squeeze. It’s so hard to find a drink with JUST banana in it. I always order their banana banana smoothie and it’s the best. Tastes like fresh bananas and it’s not overly sweet. Love it

I love the girls who work here! They are all so nice and energetic. Their green tea with boba was my addiction while working in the mall! Even to this day I can’t find anyone who had green tea slush that tastes as good as Surf City’s. I got so many friends hooked on it, too!
They use a soy base for their drinks instead of milk or cream, which I’ve noticed some people don’t like. I personally like this more than a dairy base.

Very happy they use lots of powders and artificial ingredients.

Absolutely love this place! My newest favorite is the «thinkers squeeze» with passion fruit. It’s so amazing, makes my mouth water just thinking about it! It is a little pricey, but so worth it!!!

Khue makes an awesome coconut boba… Recently coming from Vegas I could not find any place in Fresno that had a delicious Boba until I found this one
Now I literally get one every single day this place is awesome

Ordered a Thai iced tea. Terrible!!! I should have known when I saw them using power instead of the real stuff. Disappointing… Won’t be coming here again.

Had stopped by today after doing some shopping. Felt like a smoothie and the shop was right there in the food court.
I got to say, for a smoothie, you’re going to pay an arm for it. My medium sized strawberry-​banana smoothie which was like 16 oz I believe was a whopping $ 6.75! And they have a tip jar there if you want to tip. So I put in a dollar and basically I got suckered for a $ 7.75 smoothie. I think they added something for a charge because she asked if I like something and I thought she was just asking me lol.
I figured it was going to be that good. I was wrong
I see the girl making it, but man, the smoothie I got had that dietey taste. Kind of smacked my mouth trying to get get that aftertaste out. It was really bland. Honestly, it was more like a cardboard flavor smoothie with a hint of strawberry. I just took in a ¼ of it and tossed it in the trash can.
I want to give them another chance because I love boba tea and I saw that on the menu. I should have got that instead. I might have to edit this if my next visit is better. But for now, I don’t recommend getting any smoothie there if the strawberry banana tasted like that and for that price. Plus I wonder how much a large would be? 10 bucks? lol
