Drinks and service were great! we got the brown sugar boba and the wintermelon tea with grass jelly

I've driven through this place so many times but never thought to stop by. Recently my friend recommended the popcorn chicken from Boba Ave and I thought I gotta try it. For $6.95 it's about average price for an order of popcorn chicken and it's decent sized. I asked for extra seasoning and medium spicy for my order. The flavor is good. Medium spicy is actually not that spicy. However, just half way though the cup of popcorn chicken, mostly I'm just getting crumbs (or maybe chicken skin?) so that's a bit disappointing. Thought I'd get all chicken. Maybe other people would like it more this way. This place is drive through only. So be prepared to wait in the car for the food/drinks to be ready. My order took about 15 minutes. The staff taking the order and payment were friendly. There are cool murals on the walls as you drive though the order area. read more

I've lost count of how many times I've driven by this spot but I finally got to try it! There's usually a line at night too. We got the jasmine green milk tea with boba and the peach passion fruit green tea. Both were delicious and the boba consistency was perfection. I'm so glad we opted to get the large too for the green milk tea cause it was so so good. I was lowkey actually cracking popcorn chicken and holy wowwww, I'm a fan! They serve it with a side of cheese foam and it's sweetness was the perfect compliment to the savory and spiciness of the seasoning of the popcorn chicken. Service was pretty quick, I came by in the early afternoon I think on a Sunday and was in and out pretty quickly. read more

Whenever we visit LA we have to stop by this place for the mango yogurt with extra thickness and the Hokkaido milk tea. It's the way they make it here! I'm not sure what MAGICAL goodness they put into the drinks here but, please continue to do it... I love coming here around 9pm or after dinner. Whenever I drink the mango yogurt after dinner time, I can really LET IT GO in the morning! Hehe... I highly recommend the mango yogurt for people who might have constipation or indigestion. But, that's just the benefit of it. I truly love the flavor and texture of the mango yogurt drink itself. It's also so RARE to see a drive thru boba place! Wish they would open one of these near Temecula... Sometimes we'll see cute guys or girls working there. They are all very friendly and welcoming. I really like this business. I hope it continues to grow! Cheers!! read more

Haven't been here in almost two years and now it's a complete drive thru now so no more ordering indoors! Food - Settled for the Strawberry Yogurt with Boba. This has also been my go to drink. The perfect ratio of blended strawberries and yogurt makes this a delicious dessert drink which I was craving! Service - came here on a late Thursday night so service was fast as there was only one other car in front of me. Ambiance - The drive thru extended! Typically where you would pick up your items is now where you order your items and now it loops around to where you pick up the items where the walk-in entrance used to be so this allows traffic to be more efficient when it's busy. Smart move because the line used to reach to the streets and I always thought it was dangerous with other cars driving by so fast. read more

It was irresistible night craving for Peach and passion fruit green tea from Boba Ave 8090 / Boba Ave Express since we were in Arcadia. Although it was around 10 PM ,the line of the drive thru was very long and extended to the the street. The service always very fast. I tried almost all of their drink. I love the passion fruit green tea. It is light, has an adequate sweetness and very tasty and refreshing. Both of their popcorn chicken and sweet potatoes are so good too. They close at midnight which is nice for people who crave a late night snack. I will be back soon!

Fast service. Great prices. Love the drive thru. Highly recommend. Easy to find right on baldwin.

I initially gave 3 stars because our service on one day was rude -- handed her some bills of cash and she rudely said we were short of the amount with a condescending tone and attitude. Asked her politely to recount and she just rolled her eyes, but then realized she made a mistake, and didn't even apologize or acknowledge us afterwards. However, I've been here many times in previous years and I've thoroughly enjoyed the drinks and service beforehand. Updating review to 4 stars to reflect this! DRINKS [5/5] ------------- Anyways, drinks are always delicious! I recommend getting the Jasmine Tea with Cheese Foam. The tea is really well made-- perfectly sweet and very flavorful. The cheese foam is pretty good too, just a little bit too sweet for my taste. I love the drive-through aspect! read more

Boba Ave Express - Jasmine Tea with Cheese - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Boba Ave simply gets the job done. They're known for the drive-thru option and their late hours, which is always a plus for late night runs. Although Boba Ave is convenient for the most part, the lines are consistently long. The service is decently quick, but the drive-thru option generally takes longer. The drinks are pretty standard. There are times where my drink tastes diluted so I would recommend the less ice option if that's something that would bother you! They recently switched to only drive-thru so I would utilize that, since the drive-thru option is what sets them apart from other boba shops! read more

Boba Ave Express - jasmine green milk tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

The drinks were very good and the service is also kind. It is also convenient with the drive thru.

Even though their boba is the best I've ever had, especially their cheese topping. But sometimes you might be greeted by someone who is not friendly at all. So don't expect good customer service every time you visit. read more

Love how convenient the drive thru is. This is one of my son's favorite boba spots. Our go to is the strawberry mango green tea

I usually enjoy visiting Boba Ave, but today's experience was really disappointing. I ordered popcorn chicken and was shocked to find that most of the cup was filled with just crumbs -- barely any real pieces of chicken. It felt like I was given the bottom scraps of the fryer instead of a proper serving.understand that some crumbs are inevitable, but this was excessive. For the price I paid, I expected more than just crunchy bits with almost no meat. It honestly felt like a waste of you can see for yourself how little actual chicken was in the order. (This is a drive-through only place, please check your order carefully before you leave.) I hope the staff or management pays attention to this, because I know Boba Ave can do better. Quality control really needs to improve. read more

I loved the boba and it was very yummy and there are many many flavors! Totally would recommend:)

It's a drive thru! We had ramen nearby and this place is open until midnight so we decided to walk over to work off our meal but they don't take walk up orders. There is parking for delivery drivers though to pick up. Menu is simple. A selection of milk tea, slushie, yogurt and cheese foam based drinks. You can have add ins like boba for extra and you can configure ice and sugar levels. It did get slow for us around 930p on a Monday night perhaps it's the only boba place in town open that late! read more

Love this place! More places need drive through boba. Drinks are super cheap and upgrade to their large size for 50 cent. Large is enough for two people. Also get their popcorn chicken. Probably the most chicken any boba store will give you. Comes in a big cup that can fit inside your cup holders. Service: quick and fast, exactly what's needed for drive through. Don't need them to ask how is everyone doing. Just take the money and give the drinks and move to next car. Perfect read more

Great spot! Milk tea is delicious and not too sweet Also tried their spicy fries, went for mild but it was still a bit too spicy for us (still good tho) Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

Update: I looked up a few comments. I am glad that some people confirmed that the recipe has changed!!!! Boba Ave used to be one of my favorite boba shops if not the most favorite. But, I guess it's no longer this case. The milk tea tasted different now and the boba is not good either. Compared to one they used to make, the new taste tasted so like powder making milk and really not good. The boba used to be sweet and chewy, but now it is very firm and tasteless. For those who used to drink boba ave, I wonder if you have the same thoughts. I didn't mean to downgrade boba ave. But I really want the owner to notice this and improve if they can. --------- After I tasted, it was so disappointing that I had to make a call. The boba wasn't even eatable (very very undercooked). The milk tea was so watery. I called the shop. I asked why.. They were very nice to exchange one with me. I was very disappointed and willing to give them one more chance despite the waiting line!!! But... still... Btw, the staff is kind and nice. read more

The best boba in town! Great prices and great hours. Delicious drinks and boba is nice and fresh

There was so much hype about this Boba drive-thru. Every time I shop in the lot next to it, I see a line of cars waiting as I exit the parking lot. Bring intrigued and finally saw there was a short line, we came her to give them a try. They used to have a walk in option, but the doors are locked and blocked, so sitting in your car idling is the only way. We ordered a milk tea brown sugar boba, 1/2 sweet and an Oreo with brown sugar boba, also 1/2 sweetened. Both drinks were descent, but the main ingredient, boba was very average. Our order didn't have the nice chew of fresh boba, nor did it have any flavor. I tried really hard to taste the brown sugar or any sweetness, but they just tasted like plain boba. I'm not sure why there are so many 5 star reviews but for me personally, there was no interaction besides handing payment over and receiving our drinks. There was no ambiance to experience, and our drinks were good, but nowhere near great. But that's just me, since so many people like to line up, wait in their cars as they slowly inch forward to the window to get their drinks. I rather walk in, order and sit to enjoy whatever I just ordered. read more

Is the best boba spot! Come here for amazing experience , be sure to try out the hakaido milk tea.

My 2 star review is solely because the wait time was beyond long & unacceptable! I literally had to wait 30 mins today (1-20-25) for 1 drink since it was just me in my car. I debated if I should order popcorn chicken to try but as I realized how long it even took to get to the order here station I just ordered a drink. I waited so long that I was able to post things on instagram. Had I known the wait was ridiculously long I would have went to Sunmerry which was the next block over. The reason for not going to Sunmerry initially was because I did not want to get out of my vehicle. Well that was a big mistake as I would have saved time had I gone to Sunmerry. I will say the drink I ordered, peach green fruit tea was tasty. I would have given 4-5 stars had it not been for the very poor & extreme slowness of their drive thru. I would go back on a very slow day or right when they open. read more

We came because this place had such high reviews and we were unfortunately disappointed. It wasn't bad, I just don't know if it's worth another visit. The drive through option is cool and service was good. Strawberry mango green tea with boba : it was fine. The tea flavor was pretty mild and while the drink was good, I don't know if it really stuck out Hokkaido milk tea : this was also okay. I might prefer Sunright's Hokkaido more. Maybe I'm rating too much against the hype. Or maybe we didn't order the right thing? read more

Great customer service and even better boba!! And they have a drive thru to get your boba!

Great service and incredible boba. I was satisfied with my tai tea with boba inclusions.

Ordered the Cheese Uji Matcha Tea Latte, which was good! The matcha was rich and smooth, with the cheese foam adding a good twist. The Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea was just as impressive, with deep, caramel-like flavor from the brown sugar. Service was quick and friendly, making it an all-around great experience. Can't wait to go back given the size of the popcorn chicken, it's worth it! read more

This place holds near and dear to my heart as they kept us sane and happy during the pandemic. They are one of the few drive-thru boba spots that is GOOD and with tasty snack options too. Quite honestly, I'm surprised there aren't more. I love their menu and have made my way around it fairly well. My current favorite order is their winter melon tea. Their tea selections are fantastic and I love that they offer gigantic tea options too. Why yes, I'd like a jug of boba tea please, thanks! Their snack options are superior too, and I love that they don't skimp on the quantity and quality. I'm a fan of Taiwanese popcorn chicken and theirs is fried to perfection. Just be careful when you ask for mild, it packs a punch. If you're like me and aren't exactly friends with spicy food, go with the non-spicy option. read more
