Boba Ave Express is such a cool spot, mainly because they have a drive through. You pull up, order at the window, and pick it up at the next. Super easy and convenient, especially if you're on the go. I got the Mango Yogurt Blended, and it was really refreshing. Not overly sweet, nice balance between the tartness of the yogurt and the sweetness of the mango. Perfect on a warm day. I didn't get to try any of the food this time, but based on how smooth everything went with my drink and the solid service, I'd definitely come back for more. read more

Finally gave this drive thru boba a try and my impression so far is meh. The first time I got the strawberry yogurt with boba and it was so good that I went back the next day and it was a complete 180. Seeing that it's the same drink I ordered within 48 hours, I found a big discrepancy in the quality of the drink. The 2nd visit did not have the same texture or temperature as the first time and the boba was also much tougher. Unfortunately I'll give this place a break until there's a desire to come back. read more

Boba Ave Express - Strawberry yogurt with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Unevenly spiced -- here is one of many pieces of chicken -- half extra, EXTRA, extra spicy, half mild -- we ordered mild A lot of these pieces were way overly spiced & caked with powder to the point of 70% being inedible for either my partner (usually able to handle any spicy stuff) or I to finish. My partner tried to finish but had to throw out majority unfortunately :( -- was not even enjoyable at all, just pain -- helped me get my water intake in early for the day though :,) We love the sizes of the pieces & flavor here, been coming here for 2-3 years. But for some reason, the spices have been so patchy & inconsistent -- last month they added more pepper which threw the flavor off, this month it seems the spices are applied lazily and uneven -- asking for mild gets you extra, extra spicy. Sad we havent been able to enjoy this weekend's or last weekend's batch but we'll be taking a break for now. read more

We tried the cheese grape drink and the peach & passion fruit green tea at Boba Ave. Both drinks were refreshing and tasted pretty good, especially the peach & passion fruit green tea. The downside is they don't have a huge variety of drinks to choose. The drive-thru line was also very long, so be prepared to wait during busy hours. Overall still a solid spot if you're craving a quick boba run. read more

Great staff however they don't have a nondairy milk tea option. I hope they will in the future! Also they only have fresh milk boba which is basically milk sweetened with boba which is their caffeine free option. Again, limited but still I think their customer service and crunchy popcorn chicken makes up for it. Also love hat their a drive thru that's open late! read more

I still visit Boba Ave when I need a drive thru. My dog appreciates the rides and we don't have to get out of car. But I'm sure it's getting harder to compete with all the drink places opening up down the street. Thank you boba Ave for being consistent with your drink quality and offering food snacks as well. They also updated their drinks to have a little cover so you can shake it and not fear anything leaking through the plastic lids. Thanks for wonderful service as well. read more

Boba Ave Express - They finally have little covers for lid so you can shake drink without anything spilling over. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Drive through only it seems but that's ok. It's cute but easy to miss. I think the drinks are too artistically flavored and they add way too much ice. Otherwise the drinks aren't overly sweet and they have a good balance of flavors. Their drinks are fairly refreshing and they have a decent variety of drinks. read more

Fantastic option, especially with their drive thru. Love their winter melon tea with grass jelly.

The convenience of a drive thru is the reason why I always come back. They don't have non dairy options so I tend to stick with the fruit teas. I recommend ordering 75% or 50% sugar as they do get pretty sweet. They use to have two windows in their tunnel but now it's one ordering window and a pick up window on the other side. I feel this does make the line go by faster! read more

Been coming here for years me and my family are absolutely in love with this place tea's are always made of fresh to order and can forget to mention their chicken. It is the best at spice to it. In a sense it to another level try with the sweet potato fries and a sweet cream perfect combination. I get this place a 10 out of 10. read more

Terrible treatment here, they served a group in front of us without cars so we decided to do the same then they turned us away cuz we didn't have a car. Once I called them out on it they said yea you need a car. Once I said what's the difference between the group infront and us ? The said they won't serve us without a car. Will not be back. They clearly need to treat every customer equally. read more

Boba Ave Express - Mango Yogurt Blended - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

2 words: DRIVE THRU. There have been other BOBA AVE locations that have come and gone and one that is closer to me but this is definitely worth it for the late night stop or a grand go. They do have seating inside too, but it is a much narrower establishment. Drinks are standard but come in HUGE cups even if you get regular. And getting a large means that I have some that I can ration off for the next day. Just be careful with their straight teas and adjusting the ice and sugar levels. I got a zero percent sugar and it was disgustingly bitter and had to be readjusted at home. Other than that, their Hokkaido milk tea is a creamy milky solid choice. They give plenty of snack foods too inside their to go cups as well and not many boba places have food which is a plus. Also just keep in mind if you're driving down the road, the drive thru sometimes leaks out and blocks traffic! read more

I love it here! Not only is it convenient because it's a drive thru but the service is always exceptional, the drinks are delicious and the food is tasty! Definitely my go to! read more

Drive-thru boba! Fast service, good value (fairly affordable in comparison to other spots nowadays) and the boba is actually good. The large cups are HUGE but actually fit in your car's cup holders. I used to work at a boba shop for years so I'm pretty picky with boba texture. Boba Ave Express does it right! It's perfectly soft and chewy and isn't hard at all. The drive through is so convenient and we got our drinks fast. I like their smoothies, but the taro milk tea had a strange fruity taste I wasn't into. Overall great experience and will definitely come back!! read more

Definitely one of the best when it comes to taste. I've been here a handful of times and it's usually pretty crowded, but this time I came on a weekday and the drive-thru was actually empty. We got a milk tea and a yogurt drink -- both were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly sweet. It's definitely on the pricier side, but honestly worth it for the quality. A simple spot, but oh so good. read more

Boba Ave Express is the definition of express. My girlfriend and I got there, ordered our popcorn chicken and boba at the drive thru window. And by the time we got to the pickup window, everything was done! Magic! How do they do it? lol The service was great. The workers there were really nice. The popcorn chicken came out hot, juicy and flavorful. I got their Jasmine green tea half sweet and it was perfect! I love the strong tea flavor. The drive thru was super cute and would absolutely visit again when I'm in the area. read more

Was looking for a late night snack and drink and found Boba Ave Express on Yelp. Came by around 1030 pm for some popcorn chicken but was advised that their kitchen was closed. The drive thru is super convenient and I love that it was an option for a boba place. We ordered a peach green tea drink and a milk tea drink. They were both so delicious! Bummer that the kitchen was closed and my late night craving wasn't satisfied but glad the drinks hit the spot! read more

Best matcha ever! Best service as well you should come try this place. The vibe is cool fast service and good boba

Their boba drink was really good! It's drive thru only so just know that. Would come again.

The boba here is seriously so good. I really love their teas they're always consistent. It's just an overall great little spot to grab a drink and definitely one of my go-to places when I'm craving boba. read more

The drinks from the Rowland location are decent, so when my husband and I were in the area, we decided to swing by this place to grab a drink to share. We got the uji matcha latte large size. Although there was only one car in front of us on an early evening, it was NOT GOOD from the first sip. Neither of us could taste any matcha. It was overly sweet as if condensed milk was frothed. I've ordered uji matcha lattes from many places and this one is not it. The amount of sugar with no tea flavor whatsoever was really disarming. I took a few sips thinking it would taste better but no, it was flat tasting and crazy sweet. Husband gave up after two sips. We tried mixing it with coffee the next day but it was still the most imbalanced overpriced milk drink I've had in awhile; it just couldn't be fixed. Maybe it was just a bad order, but I hope their other drinks are not as ridiculously sugary and unflavored as this one was. I may give them a try again, but I'm not sure due to how badly this drink came out. Perhaps this place fits more people who have a major sweet tooth versus someone looking for a more balanced milk tea drink. You've been warned. read more

This place has been open for a long time. My go to place when don't want to get out of the car. The staff is always nice and don't have a problem repeating themselves over the speaker. Food and drinks are consistent. Watch out for the large drinks tho. It's really big. read more

Love their fruit teas! The popcorn chicken and sweet potato fries are amazing! Keep in mind, they close the kitchen @10:30pm so be there before then! read more

This is the best boba in town. It's fast and convenient. This place is where I go after work.

Years ago I came to try this when they were relatively new and when they had a long line out the door. But I discovered their drink was terrible and couldn't figure out the popularity. Thinking back now, maybe all those people were just as curious as I was and was trying them for the first time. Years later. Today I decided to give them a second chance as it was hot and I wasn't properly dressed and they were perfect for my needs. When I pulled up, there were 2 cars in front of me. The wait was long for some reason. I thought to myself, they must have/better have placed a large order! The line started stacking up, and there were 3 or 4 cars behind me. Two cars behind me got out of the line and left; they didn't even wait as long as I had? By then I had been waiting for at least 10 minutes and I had not moved at all. Then I saw the employee hand over 2 drinks. 2 drinks?! Just 2 drinks?! What the heck & why the heck did that take so long?! And the drink was average... read more

Boba Ave Express - Boba Milk Tea. Not that great. Not sure why the long lines. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

The drive through feature is nice! And so are the prices and portion sizes. Unfortunately, the drinks were not good. I got the Hokkaido Milk Tea and it was so sweet! I have a huge sweet tooth, but this was way too much. It tasted like milk after cereal had been sitting in it, and i barely got any tea flavor. The staff were great, super friendly, and they gave one of the clearest drive through speaker boxes I have ever heard. The mural inside is also fun. Unfortunately, with all the tea options in the area, I will definitely not be back. read more

This location is convenient as a drive thru. The audio speaker quality is pretty good actually. The line moved quick and the staff were really nice. I got the jasmine green milk tea. For the price and amount you get it's a good deal! Although the drink itself was too sweet and way overly jasmine. I didn't get the taste of green tea at all. Which is a shame cause everything else was great. But it's worth trying out. read more
