Dlush

This place is quite expensive– loud music, but the hosts are upbeat and pleasant. It reminds me of Jamba juice, but with yummy ice cream mixes. Well, get this… I visited them by tasting a sample of their strawberry smoothie– had milk in it and something else, but it was a hot day, and it was refreshing. I was sold. Got a coupon and ordered one but asked to replace the milk with soy. Mind you, the music is LOUD… so I waited, waited, and waited for my order. Ah, finally, my order came. They said, «taste it and let me know if it is ok, or if I have to make another one for you” — that was nice of them. So I tasted, and since it was my first time there, I wouldn’t have noticed if it was made right from wrong– so I smiled and said, «thank you, it’s perfect.» Well as I was waiting for the other order for my little boy, another girl yelled out my name and said she gave me the wrong order– so I ended up drinking the drink that had NO soy, but had milk in it on top of the dairy strawberry ice cream. By that time, my drink was ¾ done… so she offered me the another one (the right order) she ALREADY made… I felt sick to my stomach and full already, I couldnt bear another drink, but I took it anyway. I walked down the mall but couldn’t make myself even take a sip– the sun was beaming down on me, and I still had this full order of untouched Soy Strawberry Smoothie. I turned around and I walked back to Dlush, and back to the LOUD music, I had to explain to another host what happened. I thought they were going to give me a bad time about returning a half-​melted smoothie that was untouched. The guy was so pleasant, that he asked me what other drink I would like– so I said, «something lighter” — and he pointed to the menu and before he could suggest a drink, I ordered a Naked unsweetened Iced tea with a splash of orange juice. He said «no problem». Took my old drink, shook me up my new Naked Unsweetened Iced Tea, and added a nice smile– all for no charge and all for no guilt trips. I asked for his name and shook his hand.
Thank you Emmanuel for being pleasant about everything. I hate to be a bother, but I felt full and just «dairied-​out» from the smoothie, that the iced tea was just refreshing and calming.
Emmanuel gave me a card to e-​mail the owner, and of course, I will give that store thumbs-​up to the customer service (on even the gal who gave me the wrong drink). What I really appreciated about them was that they admitted they gave me the wrong drink, and was so concerned about me being satisfied.
Coming back for more, Dlush!!!

I want to say good bye to my favorite boba shake provider. Good by uniquely delicious drinky confections! I shall miss thee. I feel ashamed that I didn’t write reviews for thee so I could help to encourage business for you.
Unless you left because you are a sell out and got bought out. And I shmear thee for thoust fake appearance of enthusiasm and customer loyalty.

I did not care too much for Dlush. What kind of smoothie place only offers one size and cost more than $ 5?!? Yeah, that’s just crazy…
The staff was friendly. Honestly, I have had better and bigger smoothies for the same price or less…

Why have I ignored you so many times passing through Fashion Valley mall? I also ignored you at Otay Ranch mall and now you’ve gone away =(I don’t want to realize what I’ve got til’ it’s gone. So I will never ignore you ever again!
With that said, I totally did a 360 when I found out they served boba. Specifically my fave, Thai Iced Tea. I just love how they write it on the cup too! TIT haha I’m so immature. (See my added photos) =p
The staff is quite friendly and honestly I think they love what they do! Think k, I didn’t say fact. Someone from there might read this review and be like BS! I hate it! Lol.
They play good music, the place looks modern, add a couch, dim the lights, bring out the Patron and it’s a club! Hmm, maybe that’s why they look so happy? Lol
$ 1.50 unlimited refills although I’ve never gone past 1 refill, but hey just hearing that makes me happy. You’ve never heard of refills at your local boba places now have you? Mhmm, thought so.

Dlush IS the linchpin of my Fashion Valley ritual.
I specifically park so in that *south lot so that I can walk by and start my malling with my favorite kick in the pants: the Sucka-​Free Red Bull Rush.
What I love about the experience is that it doesn’t matter what mood I’m in when I show up, cause the beats are kickin and the drinks are money. It sets the tone and it isn’t Star-​Cheese which makes it important to me.

Ok so the music is a bit loud and the employees are a little different. Doesn’t change the fact that they make a mean Thai tea!
Boba added to anything PLUS $ 1.50 refills.
This place is a great deal if you enjoy your drinks served with a smile and a fun attitude.

Im rating this 5 stars… why? Well like who else asks you to try the drink that u ordered, because they want to make sure u are satisfied?!! If u dont like it, they give u another! I know starbucks wouldnt do that!
This place is the most coolest ever, the best smoothies, shakes, & iced teas, they are super clean, friendly and the prices are just right! I recently entered my 4 yr old into a JB contest, and even though she didnt win first place, Dlush made her day the funnest ever!!, the gave her prices and gift cards to Dlush! Aside from being honest, awesome & fun… i must admit their. smoothies are delicious my favorite is the rasberry colada smoothie & the Peachy Green shake! OMG and those cinnamon dougnut holes or whatever they are called, had never tasted them and when I did I compleately loved them. i had to sneek some in the theater to enjoy with my movie. they are hot, crispy on the outside and super soft inside! Mmm mmm good! I heard they have a Dlush location right by my house in Otay Ranch, which is even betteR! I luvv D’lush

This place always has a fun upbeat attitude and their smoothies quite delicious. Also got to love free samples! My favorite smoothie there is the XTC. It is amazing. Period.
I’ve tried the majority of the drinks here but there is something special about the tangy power of the XTC smoothie.
Loud popular music, energetic staff, and they are always busy. Good times. Also they will ask you to try your drink before you leave to make sure you like it. They have never disappointed me.

On a pretty chilly evening I needed something warm to drink while at the Fashion Valley mall. The line for Starbucks was out the door.
So I thought I would try D’lush. I knew they made smoothies but the girl told me they also had some hot drinks.
The employees might be seen as fun and lively to some, but to me were pretty grating on my nerves. They are kind of trying to be really loud and fun and make this artificially exciting atmosphere. I don’t really blame them for that, maybe some people like that, but I found it pretty annoying.
So I got a drink called the Cha Cha Chai. A hot chai tea. The drink was freaking $ 4.75. W. T. F. At this point I really wanted a drink so I handed over the cash.
When the drink finally came out, the employee who handed it to me said, «Try it and see if you like it!!!» and I said, very bewilderedly, «Isn’t it hot? Won’t it burn my tongue?» But I figured, well, she works at a drink store, I’m sure she knows what she is doing. Maybe their drinks aren’t made very hot… So I took a sip and BURNED THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF MY TONGUE. I couldn’t help but give her a dirty look and walked away. Now, even the NEXT DAY my tongue is numb.
Now, I know what you are thinking — what idiot would try hot coffee right away? I should have known better. but like I said. I figured an employee wouldn’t tell me to try it if she knew the drink was piping hot… ugh.
Lastly, the drink was way too sweet. It tasted like sugar milk. Gross. I only drank it because it was cold outside and I paid almost $ 5 for it. Never again.

I can’t decide between 3 and 4 stars and not because I’m stuck on how good the smoothie was, which was absolutely excellent, it’s because it was real real pricey!
The staff here was super friendly and helpful and even told me that if I didn’t like what they prepared for me, they’ll change it.
But $ 6+ for a smoothie seemed a little too steep to me to do this again.

D’lush is what happens when you over architect your business plan!
Since when should a drink joint be required to be so commercial, this isn’t hollywood ya know. I know your idea of trendy but this is rediculous, better to make good stuff and affordable, at least I know I’m not paying pricey for the atmosphere. Jamba juice is also expensive, but much less low key. Smoothies at the beach seems an even better idea I’d rather have at Voltero’s Deli… big tasty drink price affordable.

I was at Fashion Valley for Hagan Daaz’s 50^th birthday free scoop giveaway but their snobby asses weren’t in on the deal. =(And I wasn’t going to spend $ 5 on a small scoop of ice cream on a cone when I can go to the store and buy a pint!
Instead, I spent $ 5.75 at Dlush for a coffee blended drink. –_​–
Siiiigh, I was just sitting there innocently enjoying the sun when I hear loud music coming from afar. Then I see someone giving out samples so of course, I venture forth to explore. I figured I wasn’t getting my free scoop of Hagan Daaz, I better get SOMETHING free! As I approached, the employee exclaimed «ray of sunshine??» I was flattered but confused. Then he said «Oh, that’s the name of our drink». Hahahaha!!! I ended up trying a sample of their smoothie and it was pretty good! I asked if they had coffee drinks and that’s how I was pulled in.
I ordered their white chocolate Dlush drink, which is actually one of their most popular! And although it was $ 5.75, it was a pretty big cup. Probably between a grande and a venti from Starbucks. The drink itself was pretty good, too. I love coffee blended drinks and this one passed the test. However, for almost $ 6, I rather order a rich, chocolatey drink from Godiva!
I’ll probably be back to Dlush for their cinnamon balls? I only got to try one but it was good! I love cinnamon! I love fried! And these were cinnamony fried goodness. PERFECT with my coffee drink. As I sipped away, the employee who made it even asked if it was good. And my answer: yes, good.3 stars good!

D’lush is just another place that I think is similar to jamba juice. smoothies with style, like the employees. always yelling at you to try a shot of whatever mix they got! It’s good I have to admit, but pricey and the flavors on their menu. ehh, not a wide variety, very little to choose from.
I loved, however their milk tea with boba! reason? FREE REFILLS THE WHOLE DAY! yup, and it’s only for that though. no other drinks. MMm! Still, for milk tea it’s expensive, I guess because it’s smack dab in the center of the dang mall, still. I could be going to a real authentic milk tea joint for half the price.
Always love the smell of their donuts they sell, smells so inviting. trust me.

Let me preface this by saying that I really want D’lush to be successful. I’m all for supporting smaller coffee/​drink shops.
The drinks are tasty, but pricey. The experience is incredibly awkward.
1. «What?» Maybe if you turned down the GD music you’d be able to hear me! The music is distracting and bugs me. It’s like I’m walking into a club in the middle of the mall… with a bit of an attitude. I guess it’s a hip-​hop thing that I just don’t get. How uncomfortable.
2. I’m not cool enough. Perhaps I am just too old, now that I’m getting closer to 30. I’m not into the super cool sunglasses, leg warmers, and/​or belly rings. I don’t like being called pet names. Stop trying SO hard… it’s not genuine.
3. The sample girl/​guy is annoying. They only give out strawberry banana and I hate banana… but s/​he practically forces it down your throat! Lay off!
4. It’s awkward standing around waiting for a drink while they are shouting around and trying to think of cool things to say. This isn’t freaking Hooters! I’d «absolutely love» my drink if it didn’t take so long! Just get me my drink and leave me alone.
5. They used to have some other food items on their menu, and I’m not talking about those damn balls. It was some form of toast and it was fantastic. What happened to that?
Thank you, rant complete.

How this place is still open is beyond me. Maybe b/​c Jamba Juice is not in the same mall. The smoothies are barely okay. Prices are a bit much but expected since it is in an trendy mall. I have to laugh at how they always have someone, usually a vivacious looking lass, hawking out samples. Really? I’m supposed to buy a smoothie just b/​c you’re wearing tight jeans and have your navel ring showing? Skip it. in my opinion.

Mmm… Thai Tea with Boba! The only reason I come down to Fashion Valley is because one single drink, which comes with non-​stop refills. What I like about the place is the dynamic musical environment, high quality, friendly people and always open doors. Did you know that all refills come at no charge: all you need to buy is a first drink.

Wow, the employees here are so excited and happy! They must drink their own sugar-​infused drinks constantly all day! They scream your order!
When your drink is ready, they smile, look you in the eye, put a straw in your drink for you, and start saying something… but you can’t understand a word they’re saying because the music is so loud and everyone else is yelling!
I ordered a Mango Slush for $ 5! I would rather have a Slurpee or Icee for $ 1.50!
I ordered their self-​proclaimed best donuts in the area (sticker says on the door), their vava balls, 6 for $ 2! We had to wait about 5 minutes for our vava balls to come out from their microwave oven! It was then served in a cup! They hyped it up too much, it tasted like ordinary donut holes from 7 – 11!
So I got my mid-​afternoon sugar rush and brain freeze! There was so much sugar, I had to throw away half of it because I couldn’t finish it all!
But I had fun!

A-​MAZING!!! The smoothes are always fresh and full of flavor. You cannot get anything like this out in Chicago and my boyfriend and I went to DLush a couple of times on vacation.
Make sure you try the mango/​lemonade flavored smoothie and those fried dough balls. Yum!

These people here remind me of the SNL skit of Jamba Juice!!!
the employees are bouncing off the walls, loud and crazy!!!
they always have some kind of free sample going on here, and their prices are high but the drinks are just modern. They are ok and just pretty plain.
The employees are loud and noisy and it kinda makes me feel uncomfortable being in there waiting for my drink.

Dlush is ok, a bit over rated and def not worth the price for some average tasting drinks.
I’ve been here only a few times since they opened up this place in Fashion and I can tell you that I was never impressed by their drinks.
I give it 3 stars for the cool design, and the outgoing staff with their cool attitudes.
