    Black tea milk tea is very milky. Not as rich in color and flavor as before.

    Love the tea and the boba. The only thing I've noticed is that the tea appears to be a bit lighter in color and flavor as well. I usually get a black tea milk tea. It was usually a caramel brown color, now it looks very milky. The flavor is there, but not as strong as before. The girls working there are friendly.

    3 smoothies and the sides

    Came here on a lunch break with the ladies, we all ordered a smoothie and a selection of their sides, the popcorn chicken is a must, so juicy (thigh meat) and the coating is light and crispy. The gyoza, is also very tasty, nice and crispy on one side and soft on the other, so good! The calamari, did have a fishy taste and was rubbery, not my fav, it was crispy from the coating, but would not do it again. The mozzarella sticks looked promising, but the cheese pull was not present, and the coating lacked seasoning. The smoothies were outstanding, glad I made it a large. We had the strawberry banana and my friend had the pina colada, which she loved. We will be back to try more of the sides and a different flavor drink. Service was great, and the music selection was relaxing.

    I tried Thai coffee with boba and it was good. This place has a lot of indoor and outdoor seating space. Parking can be little tricky with lot of other small businesses in the same complex, but there is McDonald and neighborhood Walmart close by. Service was good. Being there for first time, we took some time to order but the server was helpful. They do offer a variety of drink and food options.

    This place has completely tanked. Overpriced garbage--flavorless, dry, burnt popcorn chicken drowning in so much Cajun seasoning it tastes like regret. Portions shrank, which is honestly a blessing; more of this trash would be a war crime. Boba? Just ice water with a sad whisper of color. Used to be my spot. Now? Total letdown. Stay away

    Me No Pink Lemonade, Thai tea, Lavander Lemonade

    Absolutely love this place! I've been coming since it first opened. I used to live within walking distance and would visit all the time, especially when they had the punch-hole point card system. My siblings and I loved stopping by to play board games because the atmosphere was always so welcoming and fun. As for the drinks, I haven't explored much of the menu since I usually stick to my go-to, the classic Thai tea frappe 5/5. However, I've brought many friends who have tried a variety of drinks, and they always rave about them. Here are my personal ratings: * Lavender Lemonade - 5/5, absolutely love it. * Lavender Milk Tea - 4/5, reminds me of Froot Loops milk. * Me No Pink Lemonade - 5/5, tart and refreshing. * Matcha with Brown Sugar - 0/5, not for me--I ended up tossing it when I got home. * Sweet Potato Fries- 4/5, first time trying them here and loved them. * Popcorn Chicken - 5/5, this is my go to. The chicken is crunchy and well seasoned and the sauce is so good. * Jalapeño Poppers- 4/5, good, but nothing special. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is due to an experience when the business was still fairly new. I had requested a small modification to my drink (I don't recall if it was a syrup or an add-in), but the owner or drink maker wouldn't allow any changes. Other than that, everything has been great!

    "Up All Night" drink

    I have missed the Whittier location so muchh I passed by Downey and saw the sign and decided to come by!! The environment is nice and clean, staff were friendly and kind. And of course the boba is AMAZINGG as always. I decided to try out the " Up All Night" drink and it was bomb 10/10 must try for all the coffee lovers out there!!

    This boba place is so cute. You can place your order through their kiosk machine, however if you have any questions staff will definitely help. Place is alway clean and one of my fav places to get a strawberry green tea.

    There is plenty of parking, so that wasn't an issue. I love the overall aesthetics of the shop. It is pretty clean and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I might even say that it would be a good place to study/work. You are able to order from a self-service kiosk or with a person if you'd like. I got the Traffic Light, and I would say that it was pretty sweet overall. There is a variety of options to choose from, so I would definitely try a different drink next time. I would say that the Traffic light drink was quite refreshing and did have great flavor to it. The Traffic light drink has 3 layers to it - strawberry, mango, and apple jelly. The apple jelly I could have done without, as it was quite too sweet for me.My favorite layer was the mango layer. I would definitely come back.

    I don't know why this has lower stars. Their drinks and snacks are delicious! For me, their calamari was a star. It was on the salty side, but it was so addicting and so flavorful. I can't wait to get more. Their coconut taro with pudding drink was also great.

    What's up: Just finished up a volunteer event nearby to plant some trees and had a craving for boba. My coworker recommended checking out Boba Indeed since it was in the area. Parking: Parking is shared among the nearby businesses but there was plenty of open spots to choose from. Environment: Walking in, you'll see the self order kiosk on the right. You can place your order there or go up to the counter and talk to a staff member. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. They had loud music playing so it was hard to have a conversation. No restrooms available. When your order is ready, a staff member will call your name. What was ordered: - Jasmine Green Tea with Boba (light tea flavor, not very sweet. Boba is decent) Yay/Nay/Meh: Meh. I was expecting more tea flavor but the drink tasted very milky. Boba was ok. Credit cards and Apple Pay accepted.

    Like that there is a fast boba shop in Downey area. It was hot this summer and why not get some tea drinks to go. So the place is right next to McDonalds so got to make sure you make a quick turn or you will have to loop around the street neighborhood. Space is small but they got the front street entrance which isn't hard to miss. I ordered three drinks and the hostess was really helpful and jovial. We laugh at the name of "sun of a peach" which is a great drink if you do order it. I ordered Milk tea, a mango slush and a three colored smoothie drink. All refreshing and definitely worth returning.

    This is a really nice cafe in Downey. They have free wifi, many snacks and nice boba. The boba menu is great. The smoothie and fruit tea are nice too. I think the standard menu is a bit too sweet for me. The snacks are like frozen snacks and took out to fry. Staff was very nice. Clean restroom. Great vibes for working or chatting.

    Update: They're no longer affiliated with Fivestars!…read more I've since gone two additional times to try their waffle bites. My last trip was kind of spontaneous because I suddenly got a Fivestars reward that day for these waffle bites. However, when I arrived, I was looking for the Fivestars tablet only to be met by a Clover tablet instead. It felt like I went through a time warp because the employee working behind the register didn't seem to have any idea what I was trying to say regarding Fivestars, though he did notice a little trifold card on the front counter mentioning Fivestars. I asked if he could get his manager so I could explain, and even show, him my Fivestars reward. The reward said "already accepted", which he almost thought meant I had redeemed it already, but if that were the case, then it would have said "already redeemed". Given that they've now done away with Fivestars, I'm not too surprised he may have gotten the words "accepted" confused with "redeemed", but luckily, he was happy enough to honor it for me. The employee who assisted me was very helpful, though he did ask me to repeat the topping and the drizzle that I wanted. I chose the Strawberry Cheesecake flavor ice cream with Fruity Pebbles toppings and a Strawberry drizzle on top. Since I had already tried the cookie flavors before, I figured I'd try the fruity flavors this time around. He said he needed about 5 minutes to prepare my waffle bites, which were presented a little different than last time. Last time, I got the Cookie Butter flavor with *Cookie* Crisp and Peanut *Butter* (see what I did there?), and it came in a small plastic takeout container. This one came in a large plastic cup, and I'm thinking the logistics may have changed a ton between my last two visits. I did appreciate how the employee asked if I wanted the waffles on top of or beneath the ice cream before making the waffle bites; I chose on top. He also asked if I'd like powdered sugar on top, to which I agreed. Unfortunately, neither of the waffle bites I got from my last two visits impressed me that much. As a matter of fact, the only thing that impressed me was the strawberry drizzle. Everything else fell kind of flat. While generous in size for the $8 price tag, the Cookie Butter and the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream didn't really taste like these flavors at all! For whatever reason, the peanut butter didn't add much flavor, but the strawberry drizzle added a lot! How even?! In short, the waffle bites weren't that much of an upgrade from the ice cream scoop that I had on my first visit. I'm willing to say "too much good was no good" here. The waffles themselves were good, but they can only do so much when a flavored ice cream doesn't even taste like that flavor. It's worth noting that on my penultimate visit, when I got the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, I saw two employees behind the front counter who were ready to take my order. I asked them to explain what the waffle bites were, but it took them a couple of tries to actually understand what I was asking. From what I gathered, the waffle bites were similar to the ice cream scoop I had on my first visit, but with the addition of a warm waffle to supplement the ice cream. However, the step-by-step process remains the same. I was initially told it would take 6 minutes to prepare the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, but it actually took 15! It seemed like one was training the other or they were trying to gather the ingredients and/or the steps needed to create the waffle bites. After about 10 minutes, I was told by one of the employees they had to make a new batch of waffles because the first batch had burnt. The music was getting pretty loud, so it was hard to hear him after that, but I didn't want to hold up the kitchen prep process any longer. I just said "Alright, sure" so he could continue preparing my order. I do appreciate how he let me know of this so that I'd know the reason for the extended wait, but I wish they weren't so ill-prepared during my visit. So overall, still 3 stars overall. I appreciate the prior partnership with Fivestars, but these missed opportunities have led me to believe that Cravings is just not for me. I doubt I'll try anything else on their ice cream menu, and considering that there are only a few parking spots in their lot, it will take a lot to get me to try their hot chicken. And speaking of lack of parking, I also want to mention that on my second visit, I saw two open parking stalls right in front of Cravings, one on either side of a car. That car had its driver's side wide open so that I couldn't park there. I had to park on the passenger side of that car, which he left much less room for. Perhaps a microcosm of the clientele in this part of town? Everybody deserves a second chance, right? Unfortunately, not everybody can make the most of them, and this is just one example of such. Thanks for the sweet treats Cravings, but I'll get my next one somewhere else.

The ice cream was a 5/5 for me, the toppings, and waffles combined well giving a crunch to the soft ice cream.

Another perk was the eatery nextdoor!

My husband and I came here pretty late, I would've liked to try their churros and other desserts that looks super delicious, but wasn't feeling it when we visited. We just opted to get a large horchata to share. I was not really a fan. Their horchata is super, super freaking sweet. I've definitely had better horchata elsewhere. The price and quantity is fair I think, but I'll have to try other things on their menu to see if just the horchata is not to my taste. Interior is very clean and spacious. This place is very well decorated, with art and merchandise around the store. However, it took quite a while before my order was taken even when no one was in front of me. Kind of just awkwardly stood there and took my phone out because no one came to take my order. Service was nice though when someone finally came over to take my order, and I got my drink really quick. There's a little bit of parking available, you may have an issue grabbing a spot on a typical day I think. There is a convenient drive-thru though. Will try to check this place out again whenever I'm nearby, I'm hoping other drinks will be better.
