    I had a lovely experience at Boba Lair (La Puente). I ordered the Sunset Lemonade ($6.50). It's tangy, thirst-quenching, and it includes fresh rainbow jelly. TASTY! I arrived at Boba Lair (La Puente) on Sunday (around 4:08PM). Parking is very easy. The lot is big. Customers order at the counter. Staff (receipt says Mariana) is welcoming, professional, and hard working. Mariana politely answered all my questions, and Mariana worked quickly & efficiently. My drink took two minutes and 54 seconds. Very fast! As mentioned, I ordered their popular Sunset Lemonade ($6.50). It's a colorful drink, but it's also a really tasty lemonade. The drink is tart, chill, and refreshing. The Rainbow Jelly topping also surprised me with its light, playful texture. YUM! Regarding ambiance, Boba Lair (La Puente) has a very clean and welcoming interior. Although its exterior looks ugly and worn down, the interior is refreshing and well-ventilated (almost windy) which feels lovely during these hot days. The location holds about six tables. Boba Lair (La Puente) also has utility. There's customer internet with password; information is displayed near the cash register. There's also four available electrical outlets. I also appreciate the game corner (ex: Connect 4, Sorry, Playing Cards, etc). This location does not have a restroom, but there's a hand sanitizer bottle on the counter. I also enjoyed the upbeat music. Overall, I found unexpected joy at Boba Lair (La Puente). It almost felt like a secret hotspot guarded by the community. I noticed many locals cheerfully walking in-and-out. In the end, I left with a bright smile. If nearby, I recommend. 4.7 out of 5

    A hidden little spot in La Puente, affordable and great for a quick boba crave. They also sell ice cream and limited selection of pastries. I was satisfied on my first visit: solid drinks, cozy decor, friendly service, and immediate delivery. On my revisit, the experience was still fair. However, the boba this time was firm and undercooked. For that, I'm keeping the review at 4 stars for now. I will return to see if it improves.

    Brown sugar Boba milk tea & passion fruit green tea with lychee jelly. + macaron!

    5/5 I had a great experience at Boba Lair! I ordered the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba and the Green Tea Passion Fruit--both were absolutely delicious. The drinks were perfectly balanced and refreshing, and the boba had just the right chew. I also tried one of their macarons, and it was a delightful treat--light, flavorful, and not too sweet. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

    We love this boba place! Whenever we're in the Baldwin Park area, we make sure to stop and get out boba and drinks here. My go to drink is the Mango smoothie!!! I love how cold, nice and refreshing it is!!! The strawberry smoothie is my son's favorite and anything matcha are my girls favs!!! Boba Lair has seasonal drinks as well which we'll try just because it's what they're featuring. Everything here is yummy yummy yummy! Come try for yourself.

    The spot was small and quaint but very clean the service was professional all the drinks we ordered were repeated and explained so not any confusion and the price was amazing! To top it off the drinks were the best I've had in a long while so I highly recommend

    Boba is perfect for the summer. I got a Thai tea smoothie it was not really a smoothie and more just like a regular drink. Although it looks very blended on the outside it was still nothing but liquid on the inside. I loved the inside decor and they have a lot of seats available. The customer service was good as well.

    Boba Lair is a solid, no frills boba spot. The drinks here are priced reasonably and taste pretty delicious. I usually swing by this place as it's on the way home for me. The owner here is very friendly and will take care of you when you order your drinks.

    Left: Large Thai Tea with Sea Salt Cream - $5.30. Middle: Regular Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba - $4.60. Right: Black Sesame Matcha - $4.55

    Was in the area so tries this place out. They're ok. The decor is cute. The drinks were decent. I had the Black Sesame Matcha and it was good. You can taste the black Sesame and it wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciate. They did take longer to make the drinks than anticipated. I'm picky with my teas and coffee. Try it out if your in the area. You may like it.

    Lavender Milk Tea w/Boba & Boba Milk Tea
    Ashley H.

    Finally got to try this place out. Our barista was super nice and sweet. She recommended the Lavender Milk Tea so that's exactly what I got with Boba. My mom and sister got Boba Milk Teas which were pretty good as well. They give a pretty generous amount of boba which is always a plus! They also serve ice cream there and other desserts but we didn't get the chance to try them at the time. Overall, a pretty decent spot to get your boba fix. Not the best location though.

    Sunset lemonade  And Brown sugar
    Ryann C.

    This ... this is the best boba / drinks I've ever had in my life. Don't even know where to begin. The service was ASTOUNDING! We wanted to try the strawberry cheesecake but they were out of the necessary ingredients. The sunset lemonade and brown sugar milk drink looks like the next best option. The associate asked if I was OK with the jellies in the sunset lemonade, gave me a sample to ensure I would like it, and I did! They have non-dairy options and we chose to sub out the milk with almond milk for the brown sugar Boba drink. It tasted like the best ice cream milkshake .. blew my socks off! The Sunset lemonade was a dream, fresh lemons chilled tasted better than I can describe with words. Please do your favor and head over immediately.

    Thai coffee and Thai tea with boba

    So don't take it from me, take it from my teenage boba-loving daughter...." This boba is bomb". This is her favorite new place and is now a convert from Quickly. She's also a fan of the baked goods. You can practically play frisbee with those cookies they are so big. From my end I'll say the coffee drinks are fine. Not life changing, but certainly decent. Customer service is always great and they work very fast on your order. Inside is super contemporary, complete with an Instagram ready photo op wall. Definitely worth the stop if your looking for some boba in the area.

    Wall for photo ops
    Ann T.

    As the name implies, this place really is a lair. I would not expect a boba place in such a non-assuming plaza. Outside of a singular photo op wall, this place really gave me "Quickly" vibes and my expectations were kind of low. Boy was I surprised! I got the pumpkin cloud milk tea which is a chai milk tea with homemade pumpkin cream. BOMB. Imagine the pumpkin cream from Starbucks but richer, sweeter, and you actually get a copious amount of it. The pumpkin spice taste permeated my entire drink. Truly indulgent. The boba was just okay for me though, I might try a different topping next time.
