When in Larchmont, Boba the Great is a must stop for my friends and I. They do nice boba drinks but also just plain tea is great here, as well. The Jasmine Green tea is my go to but I've tried a few different things and loved them all. Staff is always nice and my drink is made quickly. Have you ever noticed the super cool artwork around the shop? It's so dope and the incredibly friendly artist was there over the weekend saying hi to everyone. Support local and buy these great pieces! They are gorgeous and made with heart. read more

This place has great quality boba! The drinks have been consistent and the staff is typically very nice. I also like the store, not usually very crowded. -1 star only cause tonight I went at 7:30 and got told they weren't making drinks anymore even though they close at 8 :( the person working said they shut everything down at 7:30. I wish their hours listed reflected that :// read more

Boba the Great on Larchmont had been on my list for a while, so I stopped by after a meal to grab a drink. I ordered the ube milk drink that was labeled as blended, but it was basically just ube and milk. It was fine, nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. The boba was decent, though I have definitely had better. We also tried the mango smoothie, which ended up being the better drink. That said, it tasted like a standard mango smoothie you could get almost anywhere. Overall, the shop felt pretty average. Not bad, just mediocre, and not a place I would go out of my way to return to. read more

Boba the Great lives up to its name! I had the matcha with boba (70% sweet) and it was so smooth, earthy, and clearly made with premium matcha. I also tried their milk tea at the same sweetness level--both drinks were delicious and perfectly balanced. The shop itself is super inviting--colorful with a touch of minimalist design that makes it feel fresh and modern without being overwhelming. It's a cozy spot to hang out or grab a treat on the go. The barista was also amazing! He took his time crafting each drink with care and was really polite and patient while helping me choose. You can tell there's a lot of attention to detail in both the drinks and the service. I'm definitely coming back regularly--can't wait to try the matcha with strawberry next time! read more

BEST iced STRAWBERRY MATCHA EVER!!! The name does not do this place justice. Currently it's hard to find because they have no signage on their space as they're rebranding, but go to the address and you will be pleasantly surprised, I promise!!! It's very clean and you can see the quality of teas and quality matcha here. They use the bamboo whisk to mix it just right... and they make all of their own syrups from scratch. My favorites, which is the strawberry...they use fresh strawberries and create this incredibly delicious concoction that is the best on the street!!! If people knew, there would be a line up out the door non stop. I highly recommend them and the service is fantastic. If you stop by, please say hi to MIA who really knows what she's doing, provides excellent customer service and will tailor the drink to how you like it. Enjoy!! read more

small shop that is LITERALLY so easy to miss unless you have your eyes PEELED for the shop. it doesn't have the store name out big in the front so my friend and i walked past it 3 times. there are two small benches inside; not ideal for sitting and talking with your friends. we ordered on a kiosk and the only interactions we had with the workers were when they were calling out orders out. the drink was ok! can't say anything about their boba because neither my friend nor i got boba but their signature lemon tea was good. read more

Super cool spot tucked away in the hustle and bustle of Larchmont, but I'm so glad I found it. The decor is very modern and the boba logo is too cute! My server was super nice and asked me about how often I've had boba (the answer: a lot!!). He also recommended some drinks for me, so I opted to order the Classic Black Milk Tea and one of the mojito drinks -- I hadn't seen that on a boba menu before, so I needed to check it out! Both were so good! The Classic Black Milk tea had a nice, strong black tea flavor to it, the boba was nice and chewy, and the mojito was perfect. Highly recommend if you're taking a stroll down Larchmont! read more

Maybe I'm a total boba snob being from the South Bay, but I thought this place was just okay! Service was solid and ordering was easy but I just felt like something was missing/that my drink was not as good as some of my other fave boba spots. Would probably give it another try but haven't been back yet read more

Far from "Boba the Great," at least for me. My body is super sensitive to sugar, and this drink hit hard -- overly sweet, with boba that tasted like chemicals left soaking overnight. The tea itself didn't taste fresh either. I even tried watering it down the next day, hoping it would help, but it was still a letdown. I didn't think it was possible to mess up a classic milk tea with boba this badly. The only saving grace? The branding looks cool, and it was a gift. Still, I had to throw it out -- definitely not worth the price. It instantly made my head hurt and my stomach feel queasy. You're better off going to YiFang down the road for better quality at similar pricing. What's confusing is that the rest of my family seemed to enjoy their drinks -- maybe I just got a bad batch? read more

First time here. I didn't like my Mango tea so they were kind enough to make me something different. I went with the Passionfruit tea without boba which was very good and refreshing on a sunny day. This location is very clean and the employees are nice. You can sit inside if you like. We got ours to go. The wait time was quick. *Plenty of street parking with meters and side street parking for free. Just check the signs for restrictions. read more

I always try new boba shops wherever I go. I am so glad I popped by Boba the Great while I was in the area. I got the signature milk tea without boba. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the drink was! Each order is handcrafted and brewed individually, which can be a long wait if there are a bunch of people ordering at once. There was only one employee, so I can imagine it would be overwhelming to make so many orders all at once. Luckily, I was the only one there when I placed my order. I ordered the 16oz, but it was so good that I wish I'd gotten the 24oz. I would definitely recommend BtG if you're in the area!! Parking can be a pain, but there are meters all along the street in front. They take Apple pay! read more

Super delicious boba spot! They've got a huuuuge selection too. Makes for a nice stop on a long walk! read more

I came to the Sunday Farmer's Market in Larchmont Village. The vicinity boasts many shops and eateries beyond the farmer's market that will appeal to a younger clientele. Boba The Great happens to be situated in a good spot here. I ordered the jasmine milk tea. It had floral and grassy notes with a hint of sweetness. I always use jasmine milk tea as my ultimate benchmark to determine the authenticity and the tea here did not disappoint. Parking may be challenging, but if you drive around, you can still find a metered spot. read more

Boba the Great just opened in Larchmont and I was excited to try! Loved the decor and aesthetic. Order on the kiosk or if you're not sure, staff can help answer questions. What I enjoyed about Boba the Great (other than the cute mascot) was the ability to choose both my ice level AND sweetness levels. I ordered the classic milk tea with boba. The honey boba was soft, chewy and tasted fresh. I chose 25% sweetness and was able to clearly taste the tea. It was definitely because I chose 2% milk that it was a little bit watery. My reco would be to choose whole milk or a non-dairy option but I can't handle whole milk unfortunately. There was only one person working when I visited and he made all drinks on the spot as ordered so be patient! Service was super friendly and very nice. He asked me to taste it before I leaving to make sure it was the way I liked it and if not he could adjust. Parking available via street meters. I'll return next time I'm in the area. read more

I had high hopes for this place because it was recommended to me after I described my quest for the best boba in LA. I got my standard oolong milk tea with boba, 2% milk, 50% sweetness. Where are thou nutty oolong flavor? Actually the best boba tapioca I've had in LA thus far -- good chew, brown sugar sweetness without overpowering -- but I can't give more tgat 3 stars because I'm buying a TEA drink and the TEA and OOLONG were both unfortunately missing. Sorry, next. read more

Boba in Larchmont?! Thank god. Milk teas are great here. They have everything you would normally want. Price is on track with the market these days and service is always quick, never a long line in my experience. read more

Cute logo, meh tea. My favorite thing about the place was the funny labels for their straws. We got the ube milk tea and it was a strange flavor that we did not enjoy. Unfortunately could not finish it because of the strange flavor. read more

Got a jasmine milk tea with oat milk. Service took a while (15 min), despite the shop being empty ofother customers. Portions were more than generous, but unfortunately, the drink was too heavy on the oat milk and could barely taste the jasmine. Maybe it was the drink I ordered, so I hope to give Boba the Great another chance. read more

I never have complaints about this place. Their drinks are great, and I think they give you a good amount of boba and tea for the price you pay! The service is always quick, and I always walk in on two boys working and they're always nice and friendly to me and allow my dog and I to hang out in the space for a bit before leaving. The indoor is nice! Has a very cool seating arrangement. Great business on larchmont! read more

I was really excited to try the drinks here and even spent quite a bit of time battling for parking in the area. Unfortunately, when I arrived at 12:20 - well past their opening time of 12 - it was closed. I stood there for a few minutes but the door was locked and there were no lights on inside...Really disappointing experience. read more

Wow! This awesome gem of a place is located right in the heart of Larchmont Village! I was fortunate to attend their soft opening and let me tell you, it didn't disappoint! The bobas are soft and chewy and their selection of teas were on point! The inside decor is also a hoot! Absolutely excellent for pics to remember the koand what a cool vibe! So be sure to come by and check it out when you're in the neighborhood! See you here! read more

Phoenix oolong milk tea was average but the boba itself was good, service average, I was mostly in and out. Parking around this area is very hard. read more

Raspberry matcha latte? Say less! I feel like strawberry has been THAT GIRL for awhile and then I came across a blueberry matcha latte at Matte Black Coffee and now behold, raspberry! Who got blackberry next?! The raspberry puree was a nice touch to the matcha latte. I got it with soy milk, so my drink was more thick than usual - but I didn't hate it. I let the ice kinda dilute it for a few mins and it was good to go! I enjoyed the attention to detail as the barista(s) asked for me to do a taste test to ensure I liked what I got when they gave me my drink. I def want to come back to try other drinks here. Great addition to the Larchmont area! read more

My favorite boba place! Their quality is top tier especially because they always freshly brew the tea with every order and all of the fruit teas are absolutely so fresh and delicious we come here at least once a week to get our boba fixes in! Love all of their fruit jasmine teas and service is so kind! They ask you to taste before heading out just to make sure it's perfect ^.^ read more

I was so excited for this place to open but was honestly a bit disappointed... :( I gave it more than one try because I really wanted to like it. I've tried their strawberry matcha, mango tea, and mojito drink. For the price, the drinks are just mediocre. The service, however, is excellent and they'll remake it to your liking. Unfortunately, they remade it and I still didn't like it. Their drinks are too sweet and taste a bit artificial. The tapioca balls are too hard as if it's been a day or two old- My preference is the chewy texture for my boba (ding tea, boba guys, Kung fu tea, yifang) read more

The guy who made my drinks was new, but they turned out pretty good. Service is quick.

We've been coming here ever since it opened and it has the best fruit teas that we've ever had. One of the employees, Maya, is especially awesome and makes delicious teas. Definitely recommend! read more

i normally dont ever have the energy to post a review but if kendrick taught me anything its to be a full hater that tells the truth. i got the strawberry matcha based on most of the reviews so my expectations were high. i love matcha, the grassier tasting the better for me tbh. but why did this matcha have whole chunks of matcha in it it threw off the whole drink:( the matcha color was perfect tho. and i was already too far to go back and i hate asking lol anyways the reviews deceived me :( read more

Very excited to have a boba shop in LV so close to where we work so needed to try. Didn't disappoint. I ordered the matcha latte with boba and I thought the portion was decent and the flavor was great and tasted like authentic matcha powder. The boba itself was also fantastic. Still a little warm and syrupy when I got my drink and had a good chew to it too. My friend said hojicha was also good with a strong tea flavor so I think it's a good choice if you don't like sweet drinks. It's in the middle of Larchmont Village so it's street parking only and usually quite busy but worth the visit. read more

Jasmine milk tea is good, lots of tea flavor. Matcha strawberry is possibly the worst drink I have ever purchased in my entire life. read more

sigh I have MAJOR buyer's remorse over this purchase Having worked in a milk tea store myself before, I would consider myself a fair judge of boba. As a ritual, I start off by ordering a standard black milk tea with boba to judge how well a store can do the basics. Upon entering the store, none of the drinks had prices on the menu. It wasn't until after I ordered that I realized the total came out to be a $8.5+ for a black milk tea with boba. Which is pretty CRAZY even for more expensive boba places. The black milk tea I ordered was extremely watered down and not sweet at all, despite ordering full sweetness. I had to add additional tea and sweetener when I got home. All in all, sad to say but will not be returning here :( read more

This place is on the busy street next to the rest of the local businesses! The place is warm and welcoming. The menu is easy to navigate. The staff are super friendly and greet you on the way in as well as on the way out. I got the Jasmine Assam - my go-to for judging the tea quality at any place. It was so fresh and not even a little bitter. Perfectly steeped and cooled by the time it made it to our hands. The other drink we got was the Jasmine Mango. I expected it to be very sweet like the workers BUT it was just as refreshing and not overly mango sweet. Cool little cubicle seating in the corner to soak up some sun while enjoying your drink. I liked how they offered to make any adjustments to the drinks as needed. Will be back! read more

This is how my drink came. Literally half full with mostly ice. Ridiculous. I was in a rush and didn't notice until I was almost to my car. Wish I could get a refund. read more

The girl that worked here was so cute and nice. The restaurant is also very clean and efficient, they have a little ordering pad that makes ordering easy and you can make any of the drinks vegan they had a lot of milk options. I had the strawberry matcha and it was the best I've had. When you walk in you can smell the fresh made bobas so I had that added into my drink. So good! read more

Really cute spot! So happy we have Boba in Larchmont now. It's always good here:) Love a good Boba spot- you should definitely check it out! read more

The staff is so friendly and happy to give recommendations. It is a cleanly curated space. Their signature tea was unlike any drink I've tried before. It was subtly sweet and comforting due to its vanilla, but also refreshing due to the citrus notes. A perfect summer drink! Their milk tea was also very good. Super fresh and doesn't taste like powder tea, which is what is served at many boba spots in LA. The texture of their boba is balanced- not too sweet, perfect tenderness, 10/10. I'm super stoked on their addition on Larchmont. I believe it'll be something exciting for those who've never had boba to try and something boba lovers will approve of as well. Also you can get drinks without boba as well! read more

Boba the Great - Milk Tea & PINA COLADA - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's great to see a Boba place break into Larchmont, and this place is such a solid place to stop by for a drink! I got their signature milk tea with boba, jasmine strawberry tea, and signature iced tea. I liked that their strawberry tea was used using real strawberry puree and the taste of the jasmine was crisp and came through. Their signature ice tea is great! Definitely different than your typical iced tea. It's a black tea with a good balance of a lemony citrus with hints of vanilla sweetness. I'd highly suggest trying this if you like those flavors. I don't normally prefer milk tea, but the Boba was a huge plus here. It's a cute looking place, but there are no table sitting area. It's more of a grab and go type of place. The workers here were super kind and even asked if the sweetness adjustments were to my liking (I got 75% sweetness). I'll definitely be coming back read more
