Just stumbled out of the gym, and really craved an ice cold beverage. Went with the second most popular drink, the Taro Frappe. A senior staff was training the new cashier but both ladies had no idea if the drink was made out of real taro or not when asked, which should alerted me that it was likely all sugar. But I was hot, sweaty, and thirsty so I remained optimistic. My first sip confirmed my earlier suspicion. Too sweet and definitely tasted like artificial taro syrup. I knew I was halfway diabetic by the time I finished that drink. Boba was average. The only thing I like about this place was the cool hanging light bulbs - so aesthetic. read more

They have so many options for drinks and small bites! Raquel is such a kind employee, she provided the best experience for fixing my order when I accidentally messed it up and forgot to add boba. 10/10 would recommend this place! read more

The boba was good the only problem was the music was loud and it was difficult to have a conversation with my friend. We got our boba in a timely manner which i appreciate another thing I hope for were power outlets so I was able to plug in my laptop and do work but that wasn't the case. read more

I pass by this place everyday after work. My daughter , sister and nephew loves boba so I told them i will take them to this place. Long short story - we were there last week with my daughter , my sister and her 2 kids. We ask about a drink trying to order something different (besides Thai tea or mango with boba from other places) so my daughter could try something different. When we ask the lady about the different flavors she had a bad attitude - like damn , if you don't want to work just don't go , you make people so uncomfortable like if I'm getting the drinks for free! My sister ended up getting Thai tea and my daughter same drink as always. I don't remember what was her name but if I see her I know exactly who she is!! Worst experience ever!!!!! read more

Definitely gave me my fix! Usually I go for the fruity stuff but I tried one of their top 7 and that was the Taro boba tea. It was smooth, sweet enough and taste creamy. Overall delicious. You also get a punch card and on the other side you get stamped on your every visit. read more

Boba indeed used to be so good.....The quality has definitely went down a lot. All their premium drinks taste like nothing just slushy ice. Definitely not worth the prices they're charging. And to top it off the customer service now is so terrible. Very rude. Dont employee people who hate working & doing their job the get paid for... smh read more

Boba indeed is located in a small shopping center off of Paramount Blvd. It is nice and clean on the inside and the employees are nice and patient (if you don't know what you want to order). They also have a patio area in case you want to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. To make it easier, they have these gigantic card menus that you can look at while you're in line or deciding what to order. I've had the taro slush and the thai thea and both items are great tasting. The boba also has a good taste and texture. Some places sell old or hard boba, not here. Another great thing about Boba Indeed, is that they have a rewards program. They will give you a card and with every drink purchase, they will stamp your card and when it's full, you will get a free drink. Can't say no to that. Only thing about that card is that it actually expires in 6 months from initiating it, so make sure to drink up and redeem your reward ;) read more

I have been coming to Boba Indeed since opening. In the beginning, the food, beverages, and customer service was wonderful. I would confidently say that it was one of my favorite locations to purchase and enjoy beverages with boba. However, my recent visits have been below satisfactory. The food and beverages are okay, mind you, not as great as they were before. The customer service is one of the worst I have experience. Specifically a young lady that works on the weekend is rude, inpatient, and unnecessarily temperamental. I'm summary, if you can get past employees that are rude for absolutely no reason, maybe it's a place to try. read more

I only tried the one drink (Horchata milk tea) but it was utterly mediocre. And the service wasn't good enough for me to bump up my rating. Interior was nice though. Summary: I doubt I'll be back. read more

I didn't even get to taste anything at this location the guy at the counter took my order and then ask me to enter my phone number to which my reply was " I do not want to enter my phone number into your systems " . He the stated " you have to provide a phone number for order verification " What is that ? I've never heard of you having to give your personal information to buy milk tea . Ludicrous, take your business elsewhere and assert you rights to keep your information personal. read more

Decent choices but not for "black tea". It's listed as "black tea" but should be Ceylon and if that was clear I'd would it have ordered. The cheese foam also tasted old, like it's been in the fridge for a while with an aftertaste. The 100% sweet is legit over the top and more like 150% read more

I got the Pina colada and taro coconut smoothie. Both were refreshing and hit the spot. I would come back again! read more

I've been visiting Boba Indeed since 2020 and supported them so much during the pandemic. I was so sad when they replaced the vanilla foam for cheese. My visits definitely declined as the Thai coffee with Vanilla was my favvvvvv. Thank you for bringing back the vanilla foam!!! Boba is the best!!! read more

Came here for the first time because my 12 year old is crazy about boba drinks - upon arrival there's was a girl handing out some drinks which looked very good and I asked her what flavor that was, she pointed at the menu and said it's right there on the menu (menu has over 20 different pictures of drinks) - really you couldnt just have the courtesy to tell me what flavor it is? Then I asked her what milk is used on the drinks, and her sarcastic reply was "just regular milk" yes I said but what kind, again she replied "regular milk" I said whole milk? 2 %? Low fat? Skim ? She rolled her eyes and said whole milk..... Literally a complete bitch, he was hating her job. I'm a new customer for gods sake! She def needs customer service skills... Aside of that the drink was good, we got a caramel frappe but she didn't bother to put whip cream on top...... The cashiers name is Vanessa - black hair and straight eyebrows. read more

Boba is amaaaaaazing! Dirty horchata is delicious and I wish I had ordered an XL. Line is long (as it should be in any goood boba place) so order ahead so u can avoid waiting. Girl at desk is friendly and patient. After ordering, you wait in patio area outside and they call your order # over a speaker. I will be back and let u know how the other drinks are read more

This is my regular Wednesday Boba drinks. It's so flavorful and good value for money. Clean facility and offer good service, tho last time I ordered online was too late 15 minutes after I placed it. I hope it won't happen again. Parking space are limited but I never had trouble finding one (not sure during rush hour). Overall this store is 5 stars worthy, give it a try for those who haven't and see you on Wednesday 4pm. read more

I'm not a boba person or can even drink milk for that matter as being super asf lactose... Maybe I'll great a lemonade some day when I don't have heartburn from this pregnancy lol My review is based on the Snack bites "Crispy Avocado Wontons" they're $5.95 not many come in the box tho for the price :( but they're sooooo good and creamy, so yummy (I don't have a photo, was enjoyable too much) Didn't realized I'd like something from here living 2 mins away I always past it but too good and definitely gonna buy again as a preg craving it was worth it read more

I remember when the place first opened up I was so excited Downey finally had a Boba place. Now they're everywhere I look. I mean I would go to this place more but it's just an uncomfortable location for me . You're a great place with reasonable Prices. read more

Sooo good! I love the Thai duo and my daughter loves the the vanilla Oreo! Great customer service

This is my go-to boba spot whenever I am craving it. I usually get the taro milk tea with the boba, and it always taste good. This time I went with my friend, and she got the match milk tea in slushie form and added milk to it. I do not like matcha, but her drink was really good and sweet and something I probably would get for myself next time. We also got the chicken poppers which were okay, I probably would not get those again. read more

I LOOOOVE this place, they have the best boba and the cashier Kayla always gets my orders right!!!!!

The drinks here are...okay at best, it's the service that is incredibly off putting, the workers clearly want you out of there as soon as possible. read more

Love the offbeat decor and not in the elements kind of atmosphere this place set up to be. Tricky part about coming here is the tight entrance/exit of the strip mall this place is located at. One way in and one way out from the side the little tea joint is placed at. Once you navigate through that is next to a Mickey D's, you'll have to make a good turn into a tight parking space. Not their fault, but giving you a heads up on that. Anyways, this cute little tea shoppe modeled after cafes with decco design. It has a minimal kinda feel that sets up to be a cool hang out spot... even if it is located in an area that is not known as such. The place looks to be a former fast food burger joint/taqueria that kept the exterior look and metal prison look of an outdoor patio. The interior looks nothing like the exterior (trust me, it's a good thing). This place is known for their sweet fruit juice drink with tapioca pearls (boba). They have milk tea and smoothie, but I think most people are more gravitate towards their juice drinks. They have desserts and snack food (think popcorn chicken and waffle toasts) to accompany the drinks you may have ordered. My feeling is that the clientele here may give them a fits as they are requesting people not to change their order after it gets ring up on the register. Not quite sure if was people not expecting tea to taste more bitter than sweet or the constant buyer's remorse on what they ordered. FYI, tea are tea..which is not supposed to be sweet unless sugar is added. My recommendation on ordering when coming here is to try their many milk frappe selections or their slush. I would recommend the tea drinks as well..... but I can tell most people who lived around here are into the more sugar high drinks of the juice. Add the jalapeno poppers to those sweet juice drinks. It would be perfect! read more

I was craving rose, boba milk tea like a crazy person one weekend and drove all the way from santa fe springs to get it. The restaurant was located in a small and busy plaza. I had to park way far away and walk all the way back. When I arrived, the cashier notified me they no longer have the rose milk tea and did not think they would be getting it back in stock :( so sad. Instead, I got the lavender milk tea with boba, regular boba milk tea, a thai tea with boba and oreo cookie milk shake. Lavendar milk tea with boba: Even though this place is called boba indeed, there is not enough boba placed into each drink. The lavendar flavor was very faint and barely could taste it. I did like the fact that the milk tea was not overly sweet like most other boba places. Regular milk tea/thai tea : same compliments and complaints as above. Oreo milk shake: My husband really enjoyed this and it tasted like it was made of real milk. Nicely blended and easy to drink. Even though there were some good traits to the place, it still was not enough for me to rate it a solid 4 because of the boba situation. Since they are known for BOBA, I expect it to be nothing less than awesome. I will continue to go to my local places in Artesia and Cerritos for my boba fix! read more

The minor problem is that they don't serve you even you are vaccinated. The major problem is that they are gross. No smiles, no nice words, they don't care about be nice to you. Take to much time to attend you and after you order they tell you to wait outside even they have space inside. There's no seats, no are air conditioning outside. read more

Boba Indeed - Popcorn chicken & Horchata Frap w/ boba - Desserts Near Me - Downey, California

The "Small" is more like a large in most boba places. Prices are very reasonable. My taro flavor was delish. Boba and jelly were a little hard. But still a good deal overall. They also have other desserts that look like waffles and fruit with ice cream and concoctions, but the sign says it could take about 20 minutes to make. I really wanted to try one out, but I didn't want to wait. So that's just a tip, in case you saw some amazing pics on Yelp. They also do delivery with those delivery apps, because while I was there a driver came in to pick up a large order. Atmosphere is nice. This place shares parking with other establishments so depending on the crowd, you may or may not get parking. read more

What? A Boba place in Downey? I tried out their Coconut Frappe just to see how they make their stuff. The fruits tasted fresh, the bursting boba were exploding in my mouth, there was enough sweetness in the drink to satisfy my palate, and the price point was very reasonable. Their popcorn chicken had a very nice kick to it. I like my food spicy, and it did not disappoint. This place has genuine Boba drinks. It was nice to grab a drink, munch on their Popcorn chicken, and get the general feeling that you are in Cerritos or somewhere in the OC and not in Downey, CA! I wish them success to have enough business to remain open. For, as long as they are open, I will be a regular patron here. read more

Went to get a boba 5/26/2021. Sign still reads no taro...it's been a month....I asked again why they don't get it? They said it's a supply issue. I said I don't want to go elsewhere...the girl just shrugged... I ordered a large milk tea with brown sugar for my daughter. I usually get a taro. So she asked what I want, I ordered a coconut blended with boba....I got them from outside door and left. When I arrived at destination it wasn't a coconut ...it was coffee/chocolate. Kak! I called and I was told I should have tried it before I left!!!! They were wrong and they blame me for not tasting it??? WTH? Pissed! Kids shouldn't run businesses! Not even a come back and I'll make it correct! read more

I love it! Soooooo delicious, and I'm not really a boba person. Even if it is a little melted upon delivery, it is still tasty. I have tried other oreo Fraps with boba since, but this is THE BEST. I love that they seal their drinks, which is very important to me. Thank you so much for all you do! read more
