    Strawberry Milk with mini boba
    Callie S.

    So happy that there's a new addition for boba on the west side! Delicious bubble tea and slushies here. Cute little space that has about 5 tables. They also have some board games that you can borrow and hang out. Would also be a good place to bring your laptop in to work at night :)

    Black sugar Boba is this really cool Boba place located on Wilshire. The people inside were so nice. The service was really good and the smoothies came out pretty fast. So I got the Oreo smoothie with whole milk black Boba and I got whipped cream on mine and it was delicious. Highly highly highly enjoyed it. It had a great texture consistency to it. You can really taste the Oreo. It was nice and smooth. The Boba was delicious. I might've asked for a bit less , but what I really wanna brag about is the whipped cream. The whip cream had like this saltines to it that really helped balance out the sweetness of the smoothie it's the first time I've ever tried whipped cream like that and I would definitely recommend if you get a sweet drink to try the whipped cream because it was absolutely delicious. I'm a big fan of it and I wanna learn how to make it myself now I got you.

    Black sugar boba with low sweetness 10/10

    I've been coming to the spot for probably close to a year now and I at this point pretty much get the same thing The black sugar blended tea. I don't have a single thing to complain about for this drink it's just so good probably could drink two.. The places relatively small, and nestled on a busy street with unfortunately poor parking. But I've been fortunate enough to usually find street parking. Keep in mind that like many tea places they are open later in the day and open later in the evening, great for those early night cravings. They're ordering system is pretty easy and they're very quick about making drinks so service is pretty good I would say. The inside has a few spots to sit, but don't expect to have any large groups at this location. Seems like a great spot to sit down for an hour or two and get some work done while you enjoy one of their great drinks. And to add by the way.. they're consistency with the drinks is pretty impressive, the same every time and great every time. The blended drink I mentioned above has a great texture, great black sugar flavor, and the right amount of richness. Can't wait to come back!

    It was quiet & empty when I went in the afternoon. There's a kiosk to order at and then someone makes the order. We ordered the matcha milk tea & strawberry matcha milk tea. The drinks were milder in the matcha taste and milkier. Boba was soft and chewy & they have mini boba. The mini boba are smaller than the ones I've had at other places. They have indoor seating to sit and enjoy the drinks. Parking- street parking

    Jasmine milk tea

    Ordered the Jasmine milk tea with boba. This was the one drink I was able to order unsweetened (need to ask since the kiosk doesn't have that adjustment option listed). The tea flavor was nice, wish it could have been a tad stronger but overall the tea was very smooth. The boba on the other hand, had a nice chew but was a bit bland. The boba didn't have much sweetness or flavor to it. I would rate about a 3.5 stars but rounded up to 4! The ambiance is here really cute! My drink was ready quickly and service was good. There is the tiniest parking lot behind the building, otherwise parking is a bit limited (metered street). I did see a parking structure across the street but not sure if it's a validated lot.

    Loved the boba and the mochi waffle with the best whipped cream ever! They have alternative milks which is great! Cute shop-super friendly and kind staff spotless!

    Came back again for more!! The workers are all so nice and great service. Still really clean storefront I ordered through the Yelp App and it was ready before they said.

    Michelle & Honey - super friendly!

    This brand new boba place is so cute, & they are so friendly! I came with a few friends & we each got a drink, & shared the mochi waffle. Michelle & Honey were so sweet to us! My friends loved their drinks & I loved my Matcha - and that waffle is to die for. This is my new fave boba place - highly recommend!

    Decent boba place near Santa Monica. I liked that I could build my own drink. The ratios for my drink were spot on!

    OOO is our favorite tea based boba place! The quality of teas and ingredients are high quality, and…read moreyou can taste the difference! They use Straus organic milk and Califia Farms almond and oat milks. This location is 30 minutes away from us (if there's no traffic). Love that many locations have opened up! We also go to the Ktown and Pasadena locations. We try to find an excuse to go whenever possible! Ambience is clean and modern. They have an online ordering page which we often use especially during peak times. Each location has their own ordering page which can be accessed from their main website. https://www.oootea.world/us Our favorite drink is the Champion Milk Tea $7.50 + $1 boba +.50 almond milk (total $9)--love the red oolong tea! To make the drink more affordable, we have been forgoing the cream foam ($1) by ordering Red Oolong Milk Tea. Today we ordered the Red Oolong Milk Tea $6.50 with Wintermelon Silk Boba $1 + .50 almond milk (total $8). I like 25% sweetness and no ice (they still shake it with ice to make it cold). My husband got the Jasmine Green Milk Tea $6.50 (floral) plus Jasmine Silk Boba $1. His preference is 50% sweetness with less ice (5 pieces). I like to savor my drink over a few days. The jelly based bobas hold up well in the fridge (compared to the black sugar boba which harden). Fyi: 1) Satisfaction guaranteed! This encourages customers to try new offerings on the menu with no risk! In the past, I got 0% sweetness, and it didn't taste good so they gladly remade the drink for me! I noticed they now have a 10% sweetness (mini sugar) option which I want to try next time. 2) Loyalty program through Toast! Add your phone number at checkout to accrue loyalty points. 3) Good quality milks! They use Straus organic milk and Califia Farms almond and oat milks. Next time: I would like to try the Yuzu Matcha Silk Boba ($7.50). It doesn't allow no ice option which is why I didn't order it this time.

    My daughter was craving boba. We walk in and there's a whiteboard that says "out of organic Straus…read moremilk. We only have whole milk." I'm thinking we're already starting off on the wrong foot paying for a nonorganic substitution. There is a screen with countdown times, which put our drink at 14 minutes to service. So we're away for 4 minutes and come back. Timer is still counting down. A few others have their drinks called out. Apparently our cold drink was warming there when we walked in. We finally go up since our timer says 'almost done'. And she hands us the drink that has been sitting there for 10 minutes while other names have been called. Why have a screen with a timer if it's not accurate or the employees aren't using it? She turns to remake my daughter's drink - I would have been happy with an apology, but no one offered it. I was shocked when she remade it, it took 30 seconds! Then why the long wait times? Something is not right with the customer experience for $8 drink and given there are a dozen boba shops on just that block, I don't think we'll be back.

    This is one of my favorite Boba tea shops in Los Angeles. One small snafu on the most recent visit…read more- I ordered online and waited in the shop. They made the drinks but kept them behind the counter without calling the order aloud... finally went to check and found them there - so approach and ask for your drinks. Ordered the Black Sugar Assam - flavor was smooth, it was surprisingly sweet but not overly so (this drink has no sugar level to adjust). Boba were cooked just right and had great chew. I ordered it with less ice as my usual. Also ordered for a friend and didn't realize her drink came without boba so be sure to double check the menu as you order so you get toppings (or not) as you wish. FYI - they have a rewards program, join earn points, and get a birthday drink (discount) too! There's a small seating area inside, quiet music playing, and people working/studying (with a sign to use your indoor voice). Vibe is quiet and chill.

    Decent boba spot if you want a more "classic" drink! They have an online ordering system where you…read morecan pre-order beforehand and pick up! It was clean inside when I went by at 8 PM, not super busy, decent amount of seating/tables. There are a bunch of board games as well so seem like a nice place to drink boba and hang out. I got the creamy jasmine -- it's essentially a jasmine milk tea. The tea flavor is okay, nothing super crazy but nice and floral. Boba has pretty good texture -- not super mushy/overly soft, decent qq.
