Blended acrylic nail? Found in my husbands mango yogurt smoothie.
mare r.

Super cute drive thru . Very convenient ! They offer authentic boba drinks, no food colored pastel purple taro here! The mango yogurt drink was super delish too. We also ordered popcorn chicken to share with mild spicy flavor and it was so good and had a hint of curry! We couldn't figure out of the dipping sauce was frosting or butter. Don't know if we'd return because my husband found two hard plastic pieces of who knows what in his mango yogurt smoothie! At this point I pray it's not someone's acrylic nail that fell in and was blended ! Update the manager made things right for us and was very apologetic. We appreciated the attentiveness of the manager.

Large boba drinks

We ordered Hokkaido milk tea with boba and Messy purple sweet potato drink with boba on a sunny afternoon. It was my first time trying both flavours. Really felt fresh and loved the taste. Boba felt fresh. The order was ready very quick. I was very happy with the quantity for the price. Very good deal. I would definitely recommend this place for my friends and family. It's a drive through and may be the front portion is under construction. The staff was very friendly and helped us with our order. Drive through ambience was ok.

Mango yogurt, brown sugar boba and popcorn chicken
Lan A.

Food and drinks tasted freshly made to order. The popcorn chicken has always good from here

Strawberry yogurt with boba
Annie T.

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.

Hokkaido milk tea.

Came in around 11 nice and easy drive through window only one person, ahead of me, ordered lard brown sugar boba and a haikkaido milk tea. Both tasted good and we enjoyed them and their large cup for the price is a good deal.

Cheese grape and peach & passion fruit green tea
Eric W.

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.

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!

They finally have little covers for lid so you can shake drink without anything spilling over.
Genevie Y.

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.

Yummy fries and chicken (:

This is just sad there need to be more effort like it was 8 years ago The chicken is dry rubbery and burnt the fries were soggy the brown sugar boba was warm and not messy like it used to be it taste bland and no brown sugar added this place just isn't what it used to be there's no inside dining area any more this used to be a really cool place to hang out for some reason the wait was insane even though I was the only car for some reason cashier didn't understand the messy brown sugar boba is not purple??? Or slush???? I was handed a purple slushie and returned with a poorly made brown boba no brown sugar just like milk tea

Limited summer menu
Michelle T.

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!

We were picking up drinks and popcorn chicken for my son and his friends for a play date. Upon ordering, I specifically asked for non spicy as the kids cannot eat spicy. I was told there would be a 10min wait which is fine. We were given our drinks at the window and told to park in the back to wait for our food. We waited for almost 40 minutes before getting back in line to check on our food and possibly get a refund. We were then told the food was coming right out which took another 5min before actually getting the food. We were already running late because we did not expect the food to take that long so drove off without checking. When we arrived to meet my son's friends, they all complained about how spicy the popcorn chicken was!!! No one was able to eat it. Boba Ave Express check your cameras, I placed the order for non spicy and saw it on the screen but was not printed on my receipt. BEWARE if you order food it takes a VERY long time. We figured it's drive through and it should be a quick trip. The person taking orders should not have told us 10minutes if it would take over 30. I would not have ordered had I known.

I tried the pumpkin duet and pumpkin soy mochi. The kiosk is easy to use for self ordering…read more The pumpkin duet was refreshing and fits the fall theme perfectly. I like that they put a lot of mochi in the pumpkin soy mochi. Definitely recommend for pumpkin lovers.

I've never heard of 3CAT before, but I was grabbing lunch at the Santa Anita mall with some friends…read moreand they recommended we grab a drink here afterwards. When we came around 1:30 pm on Saturday, there was a short line to order at the kiosk. I wish they had more than one kiosk, as some folks were taking a while to order. The space is quite small inside with very little seating, though there are some tables outdoors as well. Even though this is a boba place, it seems like they're most well known for their smoothies. Their two most popular drinks are the avomango sweet dew and the mochi mango, for example. They do have some milk teas as well, but most people were getting their smoothies from what I saw. I got sunlit mango glow with light sugar ($8.99) off their seasonal menu. It was described as a mango and passion fruit smoothie, but the mango was pretty overpowering and I only got hints of passion fruit. Half sweetness was already plenty sweet for me, I can't imagine how sweet this would've been at full sweetness! I was pretty full from lunch, so I sipped half the drink slowly that day and kept the other half in the fridge for the next day. It was just as good!

Spooky season calls for some spooky drinks. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. From…read moreOctober 26th to 31st Yi fang is having their cookies and creep matcha and enchanted citrus drinks at their Arcadia and Rowland heights locations. And on october 29th at Arcadia they're gonna have a spooky car meet from 8 to 10pm. OoOoO. But anyways not the biggest yuzu fan so I gave that one to my grandma's friend to enjoy but the cookies and creep matcha was perfectly sweet with good earthy matchay flaves topped with a fluffy cheese foam and a generous amount of Oreos that actually complemented the matcha really well. I also got their black sesame frappe that was snowy and had nice not too sweet gritty nutty earthy black sesame flaves. Overall these were lowkey pretty good. $6.99 each spooky drink $7.49 black sesame frappe

Decided to try their Too Good to Go Bag since it was just $4.99 for 2 drinks!…read more I noticed that the deal usually appears on the Too Good to Go App at around 3:30pm and/or at 8pm. Pickup was easy and I just told the staff I was there for the bag and showed them my order. I've gotten it twice before and both times were well worth the money! Both times I got the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea and it was great. It wasn't too sweet and the boba was fresh and chewy. The other drink I got was one of my favorites, the Fruit Tea. It was very refreshing and not too sweet. Love that there are real slices of apples, grapes, oranges, etc!

The Loose Teas is a cool local place that serves real tea!…read more Real tea to me = loose leaf options. I've tried a few. One of the new finds and a current favorite is the Kyoto Cherry Rose. I got it on a whim as a latte, that's not too sweet. It was so yummy and fragrant. I am back to get the tea to take home. Vibe is low key. they have some seats inside and a few outside. Sit where you like. There are also cute tea knick knacks and things. My friend and I got some super cute mugs from here. Great place for gifts imo Service is cool overall. I'd rate 4.5/5 on this because they forgot my macaron once and I got charge for it. Found out when I got home and making the drive back for the mac wouldn't have made any sense. They have food too. I don't remember ever eating here but they look good from what others were eating.

We found them on Yelp and took the drive. They have many teas. You are charged by ounce, half pound…read moreand up. We got a half pound of tea for sleep and it was between $31-33.00. They also sell sandwiches, coffee, smoothies and tea pots and cups. I had a smoothie, and it didn't taste like fresh fruit in it. ‍ it was $6.25 for a large. It was a nice environment and they had seating and tables. The shop tenders didn't say much or really engage unless spoken to first. I would have liked a bit more interaction to introduce their teas to the first time visitors. The spot was pretty busy with a steady flow of customers.
