I always go to this place because it is close to my house today I ordered a creme brûlée boba with extra creme brûlée, I paid 0. 85$ for the extra which was totally in vain because they did not put creme brûlée. The drink tasted and looked totally different than what I usually order, it had like a lot of white foam that tasted very salty, and the pearls I am almost sure they are overcooked because of the rancid and bitter taste a very weird taste. I don't think I will be coming back this place I will look for other places in the area. read more

I usually attempt to find a reason for bad food/service and therefore give businesses a break with a passable review, or some reason to justify it as an off-day, but the milk tea here is just flat out awful. This place uses a non dairy creamer, which is an excuse to cheap out on real milk. They are most likely using a soy milk, which is the cheapest one out there - esp with so many subpar brands available (this taste even worse than Vita Soy). That was bad enough, but why not indicate on the menu that it is a soy creamer so that people who are intolerant of it can be well-informed and not order that item. Problem solved, and those people (myself included the other day) don't go home with stomach distress and bloating because they are allergic to soy! Even if it wasn't a soy creamer, it was atrociously low quality non dairy creamer with cheap, inferior ingredients. You wouldn't expect this after paying $5.50 for seemingly high quality milk tea without the cheapskate offerings. I'm tired of being robbed and gouged especially during this inflationary times. Stop victimizing people by performing gouge tactics like this! read more

Prerty good boba, but some times you just dont want boba, needs snacks (like waffles) to bring me back more often.

I literally live a block away from here and did not know this place opened as it happened so fast! But it was a nice little surprise as their specialty drinks looked really good! As a fan of milk teas, I had to try their queen bee, which was crème brûlée milk, tea with boa. And I also had to try out their cookie butter freeze which is milk and graham crackers. This is a blended drink so you can't adjust ice levels, the sweetness can be adjusted. I had them both at 75% sweetness and it was just right in my opinion. Especially enjoy the queen bee, I am more of a black tea and milk person when it comes to Boba drinks. There is no inside seating area, and that's the only down side incase you want to sit and relax somewhere. But there are a few tables and chair outside that's right under the sun if you are looking for a quick tan. I'm glad this place opened up and I'm looking forward to trying some of their purple ube drinks. read more

Cute little place for takeout Boba with a nice bench to sit while waiting. I pre ordered online a large order, checked in and only waited a few minutes. Drinks were great and had some fun unique flavors. My friend said the Ube creme Brulee was amazing. Will go again read more

Boba Bee - Inside wall decoration - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

If you want the best boba in Lake Forest you best come here! This place is so good I ordered two drinks during my visit. They have alternate milk options for most of their drinks which is super convenient. I ordered a honeydew freeze with almond milk and it was delicious. I got my wife a cookie butter freeze and surprisingly it wasn't too sweet and was perfect for my wife. This place is great, definitely going to be a regular here! read more

Grand opening. Replaced Krak Boba. Pretty standard boba spot with nothing exciting to offer. I prefer fruit teas and all they have are syrup no real fruit. Tried their peach tea with boba. Sweetness was spot on. Tasted like peach Snapple. Boba slightly sweet but misshapen/bit firm so 2.5/5 stars for the boba. Also they were stingy on Boba topping. Service friendly. Outdoor seating. Overall just plain jane average. read more

Boba bee was sooo yummy, I think if you like boba or tea or smoothies then you won't be disappointed

I love the drinks here. I drive 5 mile just for these yummy boba drinks. The staff is really friendly and the place is bright and clean.

Service was very nice and simple. The drink came very quickly, was very affordable, and the drink is supreme. I got a matcha milk drink, it was very tasty . The vibes were very chill and mellow, since I like lofi I appreciate this. I recommend this place! read more

Good! Love their creative idea of 'daily' specials-makes me want to come back for the occasion and 'deals' that are more worth it for the boba price! read more

First timer and won't be back. The brown sugar milk tea is basically just milk with a gob of brown sugar at the bottom. The Ube cloud is very sweet and foaming. Not to my sensory liking. The Boba is super soft and mushy. read more

Boba Bee - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

A unique boba shop is hard to come by, and Boba Bee is just another generic shop, so don't get your hopes up. If sugar is your concern for drinks, I'd be wary of buying them as they don't provide zero sugar options, and 25% is still lovely. Boba Bee doesn't do anything terrible but doesn't do anything well, so if you want just an alright place, this is an option for you. read more

The boba is amazing and the service is great and efficient. The staff are all really nice and patient. They even explained the menu and what drink they would recommend. read more

Place is ok but you have to be competitive with the L place plus milk tea is a very deep tradition you can't mess up. This place tries to modernize it a bit and make some interesting twists but the actual milk tea itself was a bit off. Strength ok, milk ok, sweetness not enough - barely noticeable. The brown sugar sauce swirled around the cup makes a nice looking effect but you don't really get the flavor because it's on the sides of the cup. Should be blended! With a few tweaks this place could be great but I didn't like having to wait 3 minutes while the "bros" in back played grabazz and ignored me, nor do I think it's appropriate to automatically hustle you for 20% tip. You make a $6 drink - 60 cents is appropriate for excellent service. Don't be greedy unless you want to provide full sit down service. read more

I got the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with boba, the plastic top wasn't put on right and leaked a bit, overall the tea and boba was very tasty! I give it 4/5 stars read more

I really wanted to like this place as its close by and in a plaza I'll frequent for Pho. This could have been a go to boba shop for me. Unfortunately I ended up disappointed ordering the Queen Bee. The bobas were not soft, the price was as expensive as other boba shops but portion was much smaller (thin cup). The taste wasn't as good as other boba shops I love. Pros 1) Convenient location Cons 1) Price 2) Smaller portion size 3) Bobas not soft 4) Taste read more

I received a FiveStars notification that they offered a discount so I went here because I was in the area. It said this offer was available October 1 and 2. There was a short line when I got there but the problem with it was that each party ordered large quantities of drinks. I think someone in front of me racked up a huge bill so it took a long time to get my drink compared to if I went somewhere with no line or thirsty people ahead of me. Additionally there were a lot of people inside waiting because of the order backup. They accepted cash, since I wasn't in the mood to swipe a credit card. I was buying for other people so I did not drink anything personally. The transaction was conducted properly and the discount was properly applied. According to their menu, their "brown sugar milk tea" contains milk. I'm pretty sure that milk tea contains milk, unless we're in that Simpsons episode where they didn't have the budget for milk and instead gave everyone Malk. read more

Serves hot boba milk tea! Not many boba places offer hot drinks, but this one does, and I hope it stays! They also offer milk substitutes and sweetness adjustment. Great tasting drinks and high quality boba. Friendly servers too. Hoping this neighborhood boba shop stays around! read more

My favorite boba place! Their boba is soft and chewy to perfection! Once you try boba bee you won't want anything else!

Boba bee is great!!! The shop itself is tiny but it's super cute and cozy. The staff here rlly make you feel welcome. I especially want to give misa a shout out. I had a hard time deciding between their plentiful drink options and she was so patient with explaining the menu and making sure I got a drink that suits my taste. There was another employee i think named Kris who was also super sweet :). My drink was ready within a minute or two. I ordered the mama bee which is an Ube milk tea with creme brûlée. The creme brûlée pudding they put inside is soooo delicious. It's a must try! Nearly everything about this place is perfect. I just wish they had a bigger space to put tables inside so that I could come here to study or hang out. read more

What a great group of employees! They are so patient. I am an older Boba fan & was with my nephew with a family member back home who was ordering by text (and not in a timely way!) These four took it all in stride & gave exceptional service. One of them was brand new & she was super friendly and enthusiastic. The tallest guy started us out and was a total gent. All of them had kind-hearted personalities and knew their products and how to field multiple customers with expertise. The drinks were TERRIFIC! Love this place! read more

I am unfamiliar with this location's lore and am known in some friend groups as the #1 Worst Boba Drinker based on my preference for sour drinks over sweet things like most of the people I know. Nonetheless, I thought that the cookie butter freeze was pretty nice and was able to finish all of it. I don't remember if I was able to order with 0% sweetness or not since I was last here on their grand opening day. I will probably return one day to get something sour. Strongly recommend! read more

Cute spot. We had the tropical breeze (amazing lychee/dragonfruit slushee!) and Ube smoothie and they were so good! Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

This place is very good, surpass my expectation! Fresh milk tea, not too sweet, delicious boba! I got boba milk tea today and will definitely coming back to try out other flavors! No need to go to Irvine or Little Saigon for a good boba! Highly recommended! read more

So love Boba Bee! Great smoothies (recommend Ube Cloud and Cookie Butter!) and super friendly staff. Highly recommend!

This replaced the Krak boba that used to be here. At first i thought it was a rebranding but their drinks are better than Krak. Nothing spectacular but pretty good. read more

Yummy drinks and great service. The twins and I love their tropical drink that has lychee slushy, mango bits and dragonfruit. We just wished they had more locations as this is a drive for us read more

Great boba drinks! I got that honey dew with boba at 50% sugar. The drink hit the spot.

I love the Mango milk tea and they have amazing drinks and look amazing also well as good customer service would recommend!

Loved the rebranding! I was there during the grand opening weekend, things got a little busy. I had the ube cloud and the cool looking lemonade drink, and both were very good. As a young person, I feel like the menu is very creative and eye catching, and i love the overall positive environment the shop had! Plus the workers were nice. read more
