UPDATE: in reply to the owner's reply - my daughter and I came into the business less than five minutes after ordering online. It said the order would take twenty minutes to prepare but we came inside 15 minutes early to wait indoors for it and it was indeed ready. The caramel couldn't possibly have dissolved into the drink in less than five minutes lol. They just didn't add it at all :) First time trying , daughter usually likes krak about five min away. Decided to try something new since we got pizza next door. Ordered online, place looks cute inside but no one greeted us even thought there was a few workers in the building. Even when I went up, the girl didn't smile or had any type of greeting or customer service. Order was ready early which is a plus but they weren't busy sooo. My daughter who is 6 years old said thank you before we left and NO ONE acknowledged her. None of the workers or the workers filming a video. Rude much? At least she has manners! Now I see what the other reviews are talking about the missing customer service. Ordered her a caramel milk tea with boba and it came out to $7.00. but there was no caramel sauce around the cup like the website and toast photos. Tasted like watered down milk and skimped out on the boba. Will not be back because of quality, price based on quality, and customer service. Plenty of way better boba spots 5-10 minutes away such as Krak, Monster on woodruff (a couple dollars cheaper too), not to mention the dozens in Cerritos !
Yummy aesthetic drinks with great flavor. Tried this boba shop while visiting LA and it did not disappoint.
We were craving some boba and wanted to try this spot out since it was the closest boba shop to our current location! Location was clean, nicely decorated, cute decor. Service was great, we opted to order on self serve screen. We got the lychee, dragonfruit, mango slush with boba and I got the strawberry mango slush with boba. Both were good, boba was super soft and chewy! Perfect texture, a bit pricey both came out to be $16 total.
I tried Boba Bee and for the most it was a pretty good experience. We got the Thai tea slushie with boba and a taro milk tea with boba, both were good. They have a really cool self order machine so that made the order process quicker, and they have a pretty cool wall if you want to take any photos or videos. The menu is reasonably priced. Its your nothing cheap nothing super expensive. The only negative thing was the wait time. It took a lot longer than we expected for just two drinks. It looked like they had a lot of pickup orders, so I think those were being prioritized. Other than that the staff was friendly and it was a nice spot to get a drink if you just happen to be in the area.
(Please note, this is a review update posted so late that the promo mentioned is no longer offered at Boba Bee) I came on a pretty hot Thursday after spending the day out and about. I had run out of my one drink inside my car, and I needed another one. Even though the Lakewood Boba Bee is closer to me than this location, this one wasn't too far off from my last destination that I went a little out of the way just to give this location another go at watermelon drinks, which were half off. Boba Bee offers two watermelon drinks: Watermelon Wave and Watermelon Lemonade. The Wave comes with Lychee Jelly while the Lemonade comes with Aloe Vera, though either topping can be subbed out for a different topping at no additional charge. Though I was willing to give their Watermelon Lemonade another try, it was getting really hot outside that I wanted the slushie drink over the lemonade. Phone in hand with the "50% off Watermelon Drinks" email I received from Boba Bee, I asked the male bobarista for the prices, knowing they could be different from the Lakewood location, but I can confirm the prices are the same across both locations. This time, I wanted to have a little fun with my order. Instead of Lychee Jelly, I asked to sub that with the Aloe Vera, and then I asked for another topping on top of the subbed topping, which would then bring my total to an even $8. Except he forgot to add the promo code for half off watermelon drinks until I reminded him. I suppose just showing him the email didn't suffice; I have to verbally let them know my intent to use the promo. He handed me my receipt, which printed out a familiar name: Aerick. My very first Boba Bee drink was a Watermelon Wave from the Lakewood location, and Aerick was the one who served me back then. That could very well be the same Aerick, especially since an employee working in Lakewood one day could be working in Long Beach the next day. I have a feeling it was because his weakness at descriptive answers to my inquiries persisted. I had already tried chamoy on my last Watermelon Wave, so I was intent on getting tajin, which Aerick simply described as a spice when I asked what exactly it was. I still said yes to the tajin albeit dubiously. I noticed his female co-worker had started to make my drink even before my transaction was done, which explained why my wait was literally a minute. However, instead of saying my order number or my name, both of which are on the sticker over my cup, she simply said "Watermelon Wave" as she placed the drink on the pickup counter. I knew it was mine because there wasn't any other customer in the shop, but that maneuver threw me off a little. Hopefully, they don't yell out drink names in a full house, especially if multiple customers order the same drink! The first thing I noticed was how pink the drink was! I think that's because of my choice of tajin over chamoy because it looked more red with the chamoy, but since I'm not too familiar with the two, it's hard to say for sure. Also, the watermelon flavor didn't come out as strong on this one. It's still a good refreshing drink nonetheless that I was able to finish it before I got home. However, I'm not sure why the watermelon flavor was lacking here, and I really don't want to say it's because of the tajin being overpowering in taste. I'm more than willing to give the Watermelon Wave another try, but without the chamoy and tajin. I wanted to give the Watermelon Lemonade from this location another go, and guess who served me again? Aerick. Actually, he almost didn't have to ring me up since I was trying my luck at the kiosk, but unfortunately, I could not find a way to customize my order. I was intent on switching out the aloe vera for crystal boba, which wouldn't incur an upcharge. However, I could not find a way to do it on the kiosk, so I had to go up to Aerick to let him know. Aerick prepared my Watermelon Lemonade so quickly that I almost left without realizing that the bottom of my receipt didn't show my points balance. Aerick was happy enough to print out another receipt, which did show my points balance. That Watermelon Lemonade was much better this time around! There was more watermelon flavor here than in the Wave, but I think there could have been a little more. I still recommend nonetheless if you like both watermelons and lemonade. They also have some photos of their employees by the Boba Bee backdrop in the near corner. One of them even put their Pokemon Go friend code on her photo? lol that's a new one! The employees have been pretty cool for the most part, including Aerick. They'll make slip ups every now and then, but I've never seen them be rude or in a bad mood. And yes, the rhyme was intended lol. The verdict: Still three stars, but inching closer to four!
Mama Bee or Ube Cloud?? The Mama Bee (Ube Crème Brûlée) is extremely creamy and overly sweet. The drink is also not cold enough for my liking. To put it in short words it tastes like drinking frosting through a straw. 3/10 Ube Cloud (Ube with Oreo) is a slushy so it is much colder and in my opinion tastes much better. 8/10 I have tried a lot of the drinks on the menu including: Boba Bee Milk Tea (Oolong Tea) & Thai Tea 10/10- you can't go wrong with the classics and you can adjust the sweetness Tropical Breeze 9/10- this drink is refreshing and delicious. I wish the dragon fruit flavor peaked out more Pumpkin Chai 8/10- this is a seasonal drink and it tastes like pumpkin horchata! I really enjoyed this drink. Pumpkin Cheesecake 8.5/19- I was blown away with how good this drink was. I wish they kept this on their regular menu. Finally, I have ordered from this place before on DoorDash and they did mess up my order and forgot to add boba to one of my drinks. Not a big deal but something worth sharing.
Walking in on a Friday night around 9 pm I didn't see anyone at the front so I thought it was closed. But as soon as we walked in, an employee came out to greet us. I really appreciated this as a lot of places with young teenage workers lack basic customer service. He was patient and stood there until we decided what to order. They were also playing Jonas brothers, which made me feel nostalgic! I got the Baby Bee which was really good, but some mushy yellow texture that stuck to my tongue threw me off. My bf ordered the brown sugar iced tea boba and his was really good too. I like the backdrop for the Ig photos!
I have had better boba at a better price and kinda a thing I've been doing since I first fell in love with boba and honestly they wouldn't even rank in my top 5 and probably not 10 either. Service was good and the store seemed like it would be great as the ambience was dope as well to each so I'm not telling anyone else to not try it it may be your top
My fourth stop as part of my "30 before 30" challenge/adventure to go to cute (preferably animal) themed tea/cafe shops before I turn 30! I was not disappointed. The theme is top notch here. I love love love it. I will be back to try other drinks because I preferred my partner's drink (the stinger) over my usual peach tea. Which just shows I got to try more of their top 10 drinks. They are top 10 for a reason!
I'm used to small Taiwanese tea houses, so I always get a little skeptical when I visit chains. I rate by service and taste, so first the service. When I arrived, there was a counter opening and 3 workers talking just beyond it. I waited to be acknowledged but had to wait till the conversation finished. It was something about a show and a prenup if I remember correctly. All 3 had locked eyes with me for a second, each at different times, but it wasn't until the last one noticed the other 2 did nothing so he took responsibility. He asked if I had any questions, which I did, about modifying drinks, but they were unable to accommodate it, so I just ordered my default, as I always do if a request can't be done. I was then told "I can help you over here" and he led me to where the register was. The counter I was currently at, I THOUGHT was where the register was, but it was more near the inside of the store. It would help if there was hanging signs that read "order here" and "pick up here" for us first timers. When I got my drink, I got a plain green tea and a milk tea. My milk tea tasted like chocolate milk at first, and that only meant, it wasn't black tea, I think it was oolong as the base. Which was fine. If I go back, I hope they prioritize customers over conversation since that's how the store makes money. And maybe treat all customers like first timers, so we aren't confused about where what is.
This is our second time here, we wanted to give it another try. But I'm not sure why both times- the drinks have been mediocre. The drink I got today was extremely disgusting. Had a horrible taste as soon as you drink it. And a distinct after taste. We didn't notice until we were half way home and we live 10 mins away. Not worth coming back to tell them how much the drinks sucked. And we had to wait 15 mins for boba. When our drinks were ready they didn't inform us. We had to walk up the counter to ask and no one was there but us. Not coming back! Horrible customer service.

Guys, I think I found my new favorite dessert shop -- I say dessert because their boba and drinks definitely live up to their sweet hype. If you're coming in craving something decadent and refreshing at the same time, you're coming to the right place. My family popped in late on a Thursday afternoon and it was a little bit busy though the line moved quickly. My teen and I both got the Queen Bee and my husband ordered the Ube Cloud: Queen Bee -- this was SO good and surprisingly balanced; the tea, despite being sweetened with the brown sugar syrup, still tasted like tea, the foam was creamy with a tiny hint of salty, and it came with boba and egg pudding. There were lots of textures going on with the included toppings so anticipate a lot of mouth feel and loud straw slurps at the end of your drink if you go after the stray boba pearls and chunks of pudding. Ube Cloud -- I literally wanted to steal this from my husband lol. Ice blended ube cream with smashed Oreos. if you're a fan of ube, this drink is super generous with ube flavored goodness. If you're not familiar with ube, think of this drink like a lightweight cookie and cream shake, but amplify the vanilla with mellow nutty sweetness and make it purple. The boba was not as squishy as a lot of other places serve it, but I thought it had a really satisfying chew. We really look forward to visiting again! read more
Easy plaza parking. Cute Bee vibes. Don't miss your picture with the instagrammable wall. Customer service is nice. They can adjust the sweetness of their drinks. I really enjoyed the crème brûlée drink, exactly what I expected in a crème brûlée taste, good tea used, not watered down. I don't normally order boba, I chose coffee jelly. My family enjoyed their boba, they described good texture, and perfect sweetness. Not sure how the fruity drinks are, but 5 stars from our family because we will be repeating visits here for our milk tea flavors fix. read more
I enjoy a good themed spot, and this one couldn't "bee" any cuter. (See what I did there?) ;-) I don't have issues with sweet drinks. It's a liquid dessert. Having said that, if you are looking for something indulgent, I recommend the "Mama Bee" which is their Ube Creme Brulee offering. It's definitely sweet, and also creamy and some of that flan-like cream rises up your straw all throughout the experience. With the inclusion of the Boba as well, it's a chunky drink for sure--and if you groove on that, you'll enjoy this drink. SO yum! Their Matcha teas are good too. I'm sure they can adjust the sweetness on most drinks, and there are various topping options. Customize your drink to your own perfection. The service was friendly. Welcome to East Long Beach and much success to them. read more
So good I went three times in a week! I'm really happy that a boba shop opened so close to me, and Boba Bee does not disappoint! I've had the jasmine green tea with sea cream, butterfly tea lemonade, and the Ube Cloud. All the drinks were really good and the butterfly tea lemonade was definitely my favorite! The service was on point as well and everyone I interacted with was super nice. I recommend checking this shop out if you are ever in the area! read more
My new go-to boba spot! Quality has been consistent every time I've come in or grubhubbed drinks. Must try: #1 - Mama Bee - this is definitely my top choice. If you like Ube and crème brûlée you HAVE to get this. It's part of their creme brûlée series and it comes with boba! I could drink at least 2 of these a day LOL #2 Ube cloud - this is an Ube smoothie with oreos mixed in! I'm not a huge fan of the oreos in it but I just ask for it to be excluded and I add crème brûlée and boba. BOMB! Prices are reasonable and it's local. There's tons of parking and several tables inside to wait for your drinks or chill / study with friends. Make sure to follow their instagram to stay up to date on their specials :) read more
Super cute with a great selection of teas, smoothies, and other boba drinks. This spot is a gem. Our drinks were ready quickly and there was plenty of room to sit and wait. The price is perfect for the quality of the drinks. Overall: Would recommend. read more

Hi Kathy,…
Love that there's a local spot for good bubble tea. I now don't have to drive all the way towards CSULB or Cerritos for good boba drinks. We ordered the queen bee and a honey milk tea. I would recommend their drinks at 75% sweetness, and to try their recommended drinks on their menu. The baristas were friendly and patient even as we were deciding what to order. Would recommend coming here to treat yourself! read more

Came back another time and really liked the drinks here. Would recommend the Ube drinks, you can taste real Ube in it. The mango slushed drink is also a hit. Drinks are the perfect amount of sweetness in my opinion. Staff are great at recommending drinks. Perfect study spot near CSU Long Beach also!! read more
I'm a frequent customer at Ding tea and Sharetea. Since I live close I decided to finally try it. For their most popular brown sugar milk tea and for their mango passion fruit. Brown sugar milk tea was just ok, mango passion fruit was not good at all. The tea tasted very weak and almost diluted. Boba was on the stale side as well. At least I gave it a try. Workers were helpful and friendly. I guess it's still Ding and Sharetea for me read more
Came here on a Saturday around 1:20pm no line. Plenty of parking. There was a kpop event which was cool. Service was good. I got the strawberry delight with boba it didn't look like the picture but was still good and refreshing. Plenty of seating with AC and some outlets. No bathrooms. Would come again to try something else. read more
Newer spot to the neighborhood... I am not really a Boba Tea officianado, but I was actually craving one for some reason. My daughter and I grabbed a couple of teas here for the first time today. I gotta say, they were pretty good. My daughter is all about bobas and thought these were good also. I had Matcha Strawberry and she had the Tropical something or other, but it was a Mango and Lychee flavor. I like the bobas here though, they weren't tough little paint balls (which unfortunately have experienced before), these broke down relatively easy... We will be back next time we're craving read more

The service was good (5/5). Two girls working on 4th of July day. Said Hello and Goodbye as we left. The 4/5 is for the pricing, as it is a slightly higher compared to other boba places. Taste is 5/4 and boba is 5/5 because the soak it in sweetness(honey or sugar) as they should. read more

A very cute spot! Sucks there's no bathroom but the employees were very sweet. I got the Mama Bee which is Crème Brulee and Ube it was very good more of a dessert type drink though. I'll be coming back to try the matcha and cookie butter drink. read more

I can say that this place has the best boba drinks. I have been to several boba places but Boba Bee tops the list. People who work here are nice and attentive! Drinks are always consistent when it comes to taste. It's a bit of a drive from our home just for a boba drink but it's worth it. Try them if you're in the area. read more

I've been to this spot twice. The first time was okay, I got the Queen Bee drink. It was bland. But I thought I'd try it again. The price for each one was okay. I wish it was a bit lower. But maybe since it's a fairly new spot, that's the reason the prices are high. I think it's a bit high for a smaller amount of drink compared to other boba shops. Going into the shop though, seems very cute and clean. It could be a potential study spot! I didn't have to wait that long for my drinks. The workers were nice and helpful on explaining the drinks. I ended up trying the Thai twist & the mango milk tea. The mango milk tea was a typical one, with mango chunks. Then the Thai twist was Thai milk tea with Vietnamese coffee. I added lychee instead of boba. Both of them were really good. The boba was soft and chewy. The mango chunks were a nice touch of sour. The Thai twist was sweet and bitter, it was a good mix. I would get both drinks again. read more

2nd favorite boba spot. I come here with my little one after he gets out of school. Small spot and it's usually always packed. But the ladies behind the counter are super sweet. Definitely appreciate them and their service. They have a backdrop wall. Super cute to do boomerangs with your drinks. Happy yelping! read more
A new boba tea place located in the Stater Bros plaza. Parking can be difficult at times depending on the time of day. Boba Bee lives up to its name because the drinks can be on the sweeter side. I ordered the caramel chai latte which was one of their seasonal hot drinks. I love sweet coffee and tea drinks but it was too sweet even for me. I ordered my niece the Ube Cloud and adjusted the sweetness level so it was perfect. I'll definitely return and try their other drinks and adjust the sweetness level based on others' reviews. Also, the space was clean and the decor was cute with all its bee-themed stuff. read more

2/11/23 We were so excited to try this new boba place that opened up near us because we love boba drinks!!The inside is cute with the bumblebee design/theme and there's a little area with a background to snap a cute pic. Whoever was in charge of the playlist did a good job with the island reggae. The cashier Elena could use a better attitude toward her customers. However, the milk tea was so nasty. I ordered just a basic black tea boba. The boba was not fresh, no bid deal. But the actual black milk tea had a funky taste, it didn't taste like spoiled milk but it was seriously gross. I tried to move past it and drink a bit more but I threw it away right after I snapped the pic I posted. Update 2/16/23 I originally gave Boba Bee a 1 star but after I posted my original review the owner Phuong T reached out on Yelp to me and very nicely offered for me to come back and replace my drinks the way they're supposed to be made. That was very cool of her! We went back less than a week later. I got the black tea boba again, which was a big improvement but unfortunately still not good and has a bit of a funny taste. We also got the Thai black tie with boba which is strong and really tasty. read more

I ordered ahead for pickup via doordash. I entered and was greeted by friendly staff. My order was ready with zero wait. The store smells good, is clean and cutely decorated. I ordered the Oreo cookie brûlée with boba 50 percent sweet along with a lychee green tea with boba. Both came to around 15 dollars. 2 Very different and tasty drinks. I love that you can lessen the sweetness to your preference. This is a great spot and I am happy I tried it. read more

Good, sweet drink to have. Too much ice is something to improve on by adding more milk or something. More food items helps but fine to do this way. Workers are cool though. read more

Hi Juja,…
I have been wanting to try Boba Bee for a while now, and I finally got around to it! I went on a Saturday night and it was not busy, I placed the order online and it was ready as soon as I got there. The inside is very nice and it seems like a place where you can hangout with some friends, I ended up getting the Ube Creme Brûlée drink and it was absolutely amazing! The Ube taste was amazing and the Creme brûlée was chunky which was a plus. I will definitely be coming back here! Love this place! read more
