Boncha Café & Boba sits right in the heart of Ensenada’s Zona Centro, offering a laid-back spot for anyone looking to enjoy a quality espresso bar experience with a twist. This café draws a mix of locals and visitors who appreciate a good cup of coffee or something a little sweeter—like their signature Mazapán Boba or taro drinks—crafted with care and attention.

The atmosphere here leans casual and welcoming, perfect for a mid-morning break or a relaxed afternoon stop. The service stands out as personalized and attentive; staff will actually check in to make sure your drink hits the right balance, adjusting sweetness or strength according to your taste. This level of care makes it clear that this isn’t just a grab-and-go spot but a place where drinks are tailored to satisfy individual preferences.

Many visitors come for the bubbly, flavored boba selections, with the mazapán variety drawing particular praise. There’s also a solid reputation for well-prepared coffee without the premium price tag, which appeals to those who want quality without fuss. Families have been known to revisit easily, suggesting that it’s kid-friendly and accommodating enough to turn into a small tradition during vacations or weekend outings.

The best times to drop by are during quieter daytime hours when you can comfortably linger over a drink, whether it’s a refreshing blueberry lemonade or a strong honey matcha. While the café doesn’t boast sprawling outdoor seating, the vibe inside encourages easy-going conversations and low-key moments—ideal for solo visitors tuning out the city buzz or friends catching up over something sweet and caffeinated.

First time here, I ordered honey matcha, 25% sweet, extra matcha. My drink tastes pretty good, surprisingly to find a good boba place in town. Service was really nice, asked me to try my drink to see if I like it then he can adjust for me, also gave me sample of black tea to try. Thank you!

It was pretty good. Small place and not expensive at all. I would go here again.
