Large parking lot. There's bench style seating inside. The staff member was super sweet. Cookies and Cream Smoothie - Chocolatey syrup at the bottom and super tasty. It definitely tastes like blended Oreos, and it's super creamy and well blended. I loved it! Strawberry Cloud - A little tangy but still sweet. It doesn't taste overly artificial. The sweet cream adds to the flavor. The perfect hot weather drink. I would definitely come back :)

Back again. We love coming here after Costco. Today there was only one person working so there was a longer wait to order and getting our drinks. The Taro Monster was amazing!!! My boyfriend got the crème burlee and it wasn't very good. Still, we will come back.

Review #984 2026-054 Drinks Order: Krak Boba: Dragon Slayer (lychee slush, dragonfruit, mango) $5.95, Mango Fruit Tea (green tea, mango purée) $4.85, Strawberry Matcha Latte (matcha, fresh milk, sweet strawberry jam) with Pink Crystal Boba - birthday freebie via Fivestars $5.95, Sunset Passion (mango slush, chamoy) $5.95 BobaHi: Exotic Trio (lychee slush, dragonfruit, mango puree) with Boba $6.55, Green Thai Milk Tea (Thai tea, matcha) with Egg Pudding $5.55, Matcha Milk Tea (ceremonial grade matcha, milk) $5.85, Peach Princess (white peach infused green tea with pink crystal boba, sweet cream foam) - birthday discount ($4.00) via Local By Toast $5.45, Strawberry Matcha Latte (strawberry coulis, milk, matcha) $6.55, Strawberry Yogurt (strawberries blended with yogurt, strawberry fruit puree) $5.95, Summer Passion (passion fruit & dragon fruit, jasmine tea, crystal boba) $5.95, Thai Milk Tea (condensed milk, 1/2 & 1/2) $5.55 BobaHi was formerly known as Krak Boba (4 years ago)... I'm not sure if it's rebranded (2 years later) or a separate business since both names are active. The boba shop is located in Torrance Crossroads on the southeast side near Home Depot with plenty of parking spaces though I rarely nab one outside the entrance. The menus are similar with either the same names or renamed (e.g. Dragon Slayer renamed as Exotic Trio, Sunset Passion to Mango Chamoy). Initially, "born to rule" now they're touting a "bobahi(gh)." ;-) In the early days, the small lobby was packed with customers, not quite out the door but filled. Nowadays, there's more or less a small stream of customers no matter the time of day. On a few occasions, I'm the only customer, then others will follow before my order is filled. The menu hasn't changed much except for the specialty menu. Staff are friendly & welcoming... I usually get a greeting shout as soon as I enter; they're also quite expedient in executing my orders between 2 - 8 drinks. I like that they don't overfill the cups with ice or over sweeten the drinks, though I usually order mine's with less ice & sweetness. I mostly order from the specialty menu & occasionally a milk or fruit tea. I love the Exotic Trio on a hot day! Green Thai Milk Tea & Peach Princess are my norms... I'm a peach lover, but there's something about GTMT's pandan & vanilla, floral jasmine, & earthy notes that keeps me coming back again & again. BobaHi's menu consists of: specialty drinks; regular & protein smothies; milk, fruit, & fresh teas; yogurt drinks; coffees; with over a dozen topping options at 85¢ ea. & milk substitutes: oat, almond, or soy at 95¢. Price points are competitive in the South Bay, & BobaHi's are in-line albeit slightly lower with a bit more volume. There's minimal seating: a bench underneath the bobaHi wall mural & counter with 1/2 stools facing the parking lot. Since our local fav MTS has been under new ownership, we've been alternating BobaHi with a couple of neighbors at the plaza across the street & at Rolling Hills Plaza due to drink preferences. Whenever we're at In & Out, we usually detour over here for some boba instead of having a fountain drink... get boba hi(gh)! Recommended: Peach Princess & Green Thai Milk Tea (my favs!), Thai & Matcha Milk Teas (my hubby's picks), Exotic Trio & Summer Passion (M's go-tos), Strawberry Matcha Latte & Strawberry Yogurt (H's usuals).

Came back on Saturday, 3/14/26. Perfect way to cool down on a hot day. We ordered the Exotic Trio and Brown sugar milk tea. The exotic trio was delicious with lycee, dragon fruit and mango flavors which are my favorites! My husband and I enjoyed our drinks. The only negative is that we wished they asked us the sweetness level we prefer. Our drinks were sweeter than we like. Nonetheless, we enjoyed them to the last sip! Service was friendly. Ambiance was cool. Definitely worth the try and we will be back!

Trying new boba spots in my new city! This Thai iced tea wasn't my most favorite but it was decent. The tea was brewed really strong upon first sip it wasn't sweet. However, I went ahead and asked for more sweetener and it was better but not the best I've ever had. We also ordered the pineapple slushy which was a 5/5 good! The service was cool but nothing spectacular! I'll be back to try other drink options soon!

One of the best Boba spot it's next to the Home Depot and Home goods when we go to the home goods or Home Depot always stop by there. I always like their coffee with boba.

I ordered Summer Passion what a vibrant, tropical fusion of tart passion fruit balanced by green tea finish. My daughter ordered the Exotic Trio explosion of sweetness balanced by citrusy tang.

First time here. Little biba place located in the Crossroads Center on Lomita and Crenshaw. Parking's can be a little crazy as it is a busy parking lot but lots of parking. Upon entering, I was greeted with a smile and immereceived service. service. The young woman was very nice, offered recommendations and explained a few of the drinks to me to help me make my decision. I decided to stick with my go-to since this was a new place for me. I went with a Taro Milk Tea with Boba. Very refreshing, a tad pricey for the size but good. Seemed to be a popular place, there was a solid flow of customers that came through.

This was our first time here & my kids loved it. So many to choose from & all seemed so delicious. The workers were very friendly & the service was exceptional. My son loved the chocolate milk tea with boba, so bad that he was craving that same flavor the next day. It was the perfect encouragement to finish homework asap as a good reward. Lol

Adam W.

One of the best boba shops in the South Bay due to their consistency in making good drinks! The people working here are always friendly, and do a great job handling orders while taking care of any questions or recommendations. While the shop is small, it offers a cozy atmosphere with its bar seating at the table along the window. It's perfect for a quick matcha or delish strawberry drink! I usually like to complement my boba with a donut from Old Ferry Donut next door!

I think this was the Summer Passion With passion fruit green tea and dragonfruit and I switched the crystal jelly to the lychee jelly
Jacqueline O.

Went at 11am today for the first time. Really enjoyed my drink. Asked the young lady to leave the top off so I could pour it into my reusable cup. Which she did and I thought that was great! I loved that the drink wasn't sweet. Which I can't take the overly sweet drinks.

My friend and I was looking to get boba after having dinner in the area and I came across this spot which looked appealing. I love the speciality drink options they have & the menu wasn't too hard to look at/navigate compared to other boba places. I got the taro monster bc i'm a taro/oreo fan and it was pretty good, I would say 8/10; the oreo was a bit overpowering the taro. My friend got the banana milk tea which was a 10/10, reminds me of a banana cream top whenever I get a matcha latte lol I would definitely come back to try new drinks!

Are the milk teas made with creamer or milk?

I believe it's made with milk, but you do have options for milk choices. Just ask the cashier. I think there's soy, oat and almond milk.

Do they provide a number to call because I can't see one on the page...?

I didn't personally like their americano and I was shocked that they don't serve drip coffee after a certain time. Their specialties are sweet drinks. Mostly the matcha and foams. And it's pretty good~ I can see why people like their matcha foam I have been into espresso tonic. They have a yuzu eapresso tonic. Not my favorite so I have to ask to get their yuzu epresso tonic without the yuzu haha because they don't have a regular espresso tonic in their menu They have indoor seating but it's not really comfortable since it's surrounded by the line that wraps around it.

You can tell they put a lot of effort into their food and drinks. As for the ambiance, it's perfect for those who want to hang out and catch up with friends/family or to study. When I visited, there were easily 5 other groups and individuals studying here. I have a big soft spot for banana flavored items. A BIG SOFT SPOT. Banana Cream Pie Latte - this one carries the biggest punch for banana lovers. Banana cream the entire way from start to finish. Not too sweet. Awesome foam top too. I highly recommend drinking these without the straw. Foam top drinks are best appreciated when you get a nice 50:50 ratio of the foam and drink. Banana Matcha Latte - the name speaks for itself. It's a nice mixture of both. So if you're looking to feel a little healthier with the matcha element, then go for it. This was probably the prettiest drink of the 3 that we had. Americano - delicious and got the job done here. I naturally enjoy Ethiopian and Colombian beans. I brew them often at home. I was definitely wide awake after these drinks lol Strawberrynana Waffle - If you LOVE belgian-style waffles like me, then you'll find yourself ordering this again and again. It wasn't too sweet but sweet enough to easily go through 2 or 3 of these plates if you're crazy enough. Banana Walnut Honey Bread - the best for last! I really loved eating brick toast growing up. There were so many stores back in the day that sold them, and now I can't find them as easily. In fact, Caffe Bene is the only place in the South Bay that I know that sells them. This one brought me back to the past and put a gigantic smile on my face. Delicious, perfectly sweet, balanced, and finished wanting more. Highly recommend!

I'm not one to write reviews but I had to say something…read more First off, love the coffee here. Needed to mention that yesterday the employees did a great job handling a rude and disgruntled customer. Kudos to the Nook for keeping it professional.

I gotta give props to the locals for this one! I asked my friend whom I was visiting, for a…read morerecommendation of where to get coffee that is not a chain. I came on a Saturday afternoon, not looking at any reviews or Yelp tips. As mentioned in other reviews, the line was out the door. I told my friend "I am extra introverted and impatient today but that coffee smells so good." That was when the person in front of me turned around and said "I am so sorry. I don't mean to be listening but I just wanted to let you know it is so worth it." She proceeds to tell me a little more about Nook and the other locations and her favorite drinks. I ended up getting TWO drinks for me and kouign aman. The island matcha is something I have never had before. It is matcha with coconut milk and macadamia nut syrup. It is not too sweet and absolutely refreshing. It does have a very strong coconut water taste so for those who love fresh coconut water, this is for you. Honey lavender lattes are one of my favorite drinks and this one is just delicious and would make me come back to Torrance Nook for this drink. The floral taste is smooth and complements well with the honey. The coffee is robust but smooth. The kouign aman was okay. It was a little dry for my liking. With all that said, yes, I can see what Nook is well loved. The baristas were very friendly and made the drinks with craftsmanship and care. The line moved along nicely but it seemed like I got my drinks in a very timely manner. The shop itself is bright and open with a few spots in the bench to sit. Most of the seating is outside. This place seems like more of a place to hangout casually with friends than being a place to work. Thanks to the local patron who convinced me to wait in the long line.

We came here after the Chargers game for a drink for the road home. It is a super cute little spot…read moreand there's plenty of parking. I did like that besides drinks they have a good menu for food. It was honestly kind of hard to decide what to get. Originally, I had ordered the barbecue chicken bowl, but my man asked me to change it to the Poké bowl because my son loves poke. I did change that and the presentation on that was super cute. I opened it up just to take a picture. I didn't realize there was no rice on here, but that's because it's a poke salad not bowl so that was my mistake. I definitely feel like I needed rice with this which you can order on the side. The poke was pretty good. But I feel like it was kind of expensive for what it is. Maybe if it was $15 versus 17. I could definitely get a Poké bowl with way more toppings for about $17. But the poking itself was tasty. If you're looking for a healthier alternative, this is good. Since it is an actual poke salad I'll still rated a 4.5 out of five. It also came with a scoop of Mac salad, which was a little bit on the sweeter side. We got three drinks. My son got the strawberries smoothie which he didn't even get to drink until we got home since he fell asleep. My man got a shake of some sort which he said was really good. I got the Biscoff shake. But I did add Boba to it. We left on the road and I drink that, but it was missing my Boba which the sticker also showed that it had. I think most people wouldn't add Boba to a shake so they forgot. We were already on the freeway so I had called to ask for a refund for that. They were very helpful and able to refund me that in a little bit more. I appreciate that since we came from out of town and we were exhausted and already stuck in traffic. The Biscoff shake itself was actually really delicious, but yes, I was just missing that Boba. The service was great, and the fact that they did still help me out after we left, I appreciate that very much so this is a spot I would return to you in the future when I'm up in the area.

It was one of those drinks I genuinely looked forward to, and I'd usually finish it before I even made it home. I was back in the area today and decided to stop by, hoping to enjoy an old favorite. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to what I remembered. The matcha flavor was a little dull, and the drink was noticeably less sweet than usual. I don't necessarily need my matcha to be super sweet, but the balance felt off this time. It just didn't have the same flavor that made me enjoy it so much before, and I found myself not really wanting to finish it. At around $8 plus tip for the Vienna matcha, I do expect a certain level of consistency, especially with a drink I've ordered and enjoyed so many times. That's what made this visit disappointing. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't feel worth the price this time. Maybe it was just an off day, and I can't speak to their other drinks, but based on this visit, I probably won't be going back. I wish it had been as good as I remembered.
