    Black Milk Tea & Green Milk Tea
    Kevin M.

    SGV Boba Passport x Boba Box. Wife and I redeemed the our free drinks and ended up selecting the Green Milk Tea & the Black Milk Tea. Orders can be do via kiosk but we had to get the stamps from the staff The drinks were done pretty fast. The style/shape of the cups are cool. The flavors were just ok for us. I think they were a bit watered down as it lacked enough sweetness. The location is cool however. There's many tables and free wifi offered. They have a claw machine and other toys and board games for customers to play. Ambiance is nice. It's worth a visit, IMO. ( ^_^)b

    Came here to redeem an offer from the Boba SGV Passport with my husband. Offer: 1 free Milk Tea with boba. We were only given two options - Green Milk tea and Black Milk Tea. I redeemed the Green Milk Tea, my husband got the Black Milk Tea. They do offer milk substitutions, so we got ours with oat at no extra charge. This is located in the corner of the downtown area. The high ceilings give this a spacious feel. They also have several tables that could seat a minimum of 4; in addition to a long high-top table near the counter. They have games, puzzles, a claw machine, even a small artist table for the toddlers available. It's a good spot to hang out at. As for the drinks, I've read a few reviews saying the quality isn't as great as other spots. I do agree, mine tasted watered down. I will say the tapioca balls were actually good! They were pleasantly sweet and bouncy. If you have the boba passport, I would get the Black Milk Tea instead. We had to park up the street a little bit, not far from the business. It wasn't packed when we arrived on a Sunday evening. This place was okay for me. If I find myself back here, I would like to try their Yuzu Yuzu drink.

    Cute stuff

    I am addicted to the Okinawa milk tea. It is SO smooth and delicious! The reusable boba box container gets you a $1 off your tea which is fantastic since it is a premium tea drink. Super cute spot!

    Discount for students

    Came here to redeem our SGV Passport Boba. This place is close to my child's school so we came by to give it a try. Not bad! We had the Green Milk Tea with Boba. We ordered with the cashier to stamp our pass. Flavor of the tea was decent and the bobas were soft and chewy. Atmosphere is cool with a good amount of seating. Students get discounts and there are books, games and toys for kids.

    First time visiting, found them through the SGV boba passport. It's spacious and clean with cute decor and friendly service. It's a great place to hang out with friends. There's lots of indoor seating, games and even a play area for kids. The boba was a little hard for my liking but I enjoyed the green milk tea. They have BOGO happy hour weekdays from 12p-3p. Every month it's a different tea, when we went it was Thai ice tea.

    What a fun spot! Boba box is such a nice spot to grab drinks and hangout with friends and family. We tried the oolong milk tea, matcha latte, butterfly pea tea and mango smoothie. The mango smoothie was fruity and refreshing, and milk tea and matcha latte had good flavor. The mystery plush or squishy add-on is so fun and only $3! We love how there's so much seating and an area and lots of activities for kids. Definitely check them out if you're in old town Monrovia!

    board games

    Came in as they were cleaning up from a private event. So cool that they do that. Got a strawberry milk tea and it was great. Lots of board game options, hoping to come back and play!

    Black milk tea with boba.

    I only came here because TPumps was closed. The black milk tea with boba was so bland and not sweet at all. I asked for full sweetness, and could barely taste any sugar. In all honesty, this tasted like sink water with milk. I have no problem paying $6.50 for a good boba, but this felt like robbery it was so tasteless

    Went to Boba Box as a part of the SGV Boba passport! There was plenty of street parking. I got the Thai Milk Tea and my friend got the Green Milk Tea. Both drinks were 100% sweetness and regular ice, but I do wish they had more flavor. Boba Box has plenty of games and seating inside. They have puzzles and plenty of board games.

    Brown sugar milk tea with boba
    Alice Y.

    I got the brown sugar milk tea with boba ($7) to go. I asked for 75% sweetness and regular ice. I thought it was on the pricy side for the quality. The milk tea was moderately creamy and light on tea flavor. I appreciated its classic milk tea flavor, though it got a little lost the more I kept drinking it. As for the brown sugar boba, it was lightly sweetened. It was neither flavorless nor flavorful, if that makes sense. The pearls were chewy and softer than I prefer. Before leaving the shop, I admired the plant wall and light decoration (very Instagrammable). However, the music was too loud for my ears. I wouldn't be able to stay for an extended period of time.

    Boba box offer drinks in a "box" shaped container. To order, you can do it directly at the front desk or at a kiosk by the door. The store is spacious, with plenty of tables and selective board games available. The drinks did not stand out to me as much, but I would definitely come back again.

    Ambiance is everything here. When you walk in, there's a table with printed menus and an iPad to self-order. The menus have pictures of all the drinks so the visual aid is appreciated. After ordering, you can take a seat in the large space with plenty of tables. I like that there are board games provided, a touch screen game table, and even a kid zone. There is also a crane game and Photo Booth! The strips range $6-$8 but you can get a coupon when you order a drink. The staff is concealed in the back behind curtains and they only come out to serve drinks so the atmosphere feels like you can just hang out without being watched. They have fun snacks in the front for sale as well. Something cool about the shop is you can pay extra to put your drink in a surprise cup - the cup comes with a boba plush! I got a honeydew tea with boba and a green milk tea with boba. The honeydew wasn't too sweet and didn't taste powdery at all. The green milk tea did have a herbal taste and the boba was cooked well. The parking options seem to be street but also there's a huge plaza parking lot across the street that is easy. Bathroom was easy to find and was clean.

    Oreo Matcha Latte

    I experienced Boba Box last weekend as a guest at a private event. (The space was rented out.) Emily and Katherine were running the show and doing a great job of making everyone's drinks. The Okinawa Black Milk tea with boba was good, but it tasted like a brown sugar milk tea so I'm not sure what is special about the okinawa sugar specifically. That aside though, I enjoyed my drink thoroughly. Not watery or too sweet. The matcha oreo latte was good, but needed more sweetness for my taste. The matcha was strong! This is a good option for someone who prefers a less sweet taste. I do wish it had more oreo too. There are BOGO deals at select hours and a student discount. There are many tables and games to play in the shop. I like the concept and consistent theming with the box cup shape. It's very cute and fun to drink from.

    The Yuzu yuzu drink.
