    Cutout of Felix of Straykids

    Its always a good place to vibe, hang out, and get a drink or two...or maybe even four. The place is always clean and they have 2 self serve kiosks apart from the cashier so you dont wait long. They are really fast and its always a good time. Plenty of parking and they have the best staff!!!

    Peach Yogurt
    Danielle H.

    This is a tiny boba shop at the Marina Pacifica near the movie theater. Plan to take your drinks to-go because there's nowhere to sit and chat. My peach yogurt had an odd sweet taste and it was also too sweet at 50% sweetness. Their service was great! The guy working last Wednesday in the afternoon was very kind and quick to make my drink. This place is worth another shot.

    Great service, friendly atmosphere with a small study space and free WiFi ! The drinks are fun and they offer small bites like waffles too. The new go to for my friends and I.

    Newer Boba spot in Marina Pacifica. Very small place but organized. Parking is usually easy in this area. Service is ordering off the Kiosk (there are two to order from). We were greeted by someone in the back (at least two people were working the back area). We figured out quickly just to order off the kiosk vs waiting at the counter. Our drinks were very slow to come out. A party waiting in front of us (4 drinks) and then us (3 drinks) and two other single parties came in. The drinks are bit higher priced vs other Boba placed in Long Beach. We ordered two Thai Ice Teas, with added pearls (and up charge) and one Early Gray Milk Tea. All drinks were ordered with 50% sweetness and 50% ice. Ice was perfect. Sweetness, all three thought too sweet and very thankful we did 50%! Pearls were just okay, and not many in our drinks. Taste was good but not amazing. For the price and wait, we had higher expectations.

    I usually really enjoy Gong Cha--especially their Logan Honey drink, which is perfect for people who can't have caffeine. However, this particular location isn't as good as others I've been to. The drink itself was just okay, but the boba was disappointing both times I visited--mushy on the outside and hard in the center, which really took away the enjoyment. The shop is also quite small with very limited seating, 2 tables only and few bench seatings making it less comfortable if you plan to stay and enjoy your drink. There are two kiosks for ordering, but it still took a while to get the drink. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and welcoming! If not because I wanted some drink before the movie , we probably wouldn't even come here..

    Earl Grey Tea (medium, recommended 50% sweetness)

    Gong Cha is a boba franchise that originally started in 2006 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. They have over 1,000+ locations worldwide and they just opened a new location here in Long Beach. I'm more surprised that it took me this long to finally try Gong Cha for the very 1st time. [Parking]: Easy and free parking - this plaza is pretty dead. [Amenities]: No restroom indoor and was told by cashier that restroom access is via AMC next door. Small indoor space with two tables and two outdoor patios. Honestly this is mostly a take-out spot. [Menu]: Customers can order in person or via kiosk machines. Some of more popular drinks are Earl Grey Fresh Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Milk Tea. I was surprised to see kiosk machines provided automatic recommendation on sweetness level for my drink. *** Earl Grey Tea (medium, recommended 50% sweetness): Right sweetness level, but the drink just didn't hit the spot. *** Overall this is an alright tea shop - think of this shop as a convenient tea shop to stop by in this part of the town & I wouldn't drive out of the way for it.

    Brown Sugar Cloud

    This little cafe is wedged in to the Marina Pacifica shopping center on the AMC theaters and Howard's Appliances side. There should be plenty of parking available on any given day and they are open late (which is great news when you randomly have a boba craving and other places are closed). I've typically ordered their version of the brown sugar milk with boba and while the pearls are on the softer side of what I prefer, prices for a medium drink feel reasonable ($6ish). You can order from the kiosk to expedite if you're really thirsty! The interactions I've had with staff have been friendly - smiles when order is called, compliments on my little dog - and I will likely come back to perhaps try a caffeinated drink one of these days when I'm not rolling in before midnight!

    Mango Smoothie
    Paul L.

    Kiosk order vs. personal order - there's a great debate on which is preferred. While I believe kiosks are the way of the future, they lack the personal touch of interacting with the shop staff. What could have taken me less than a minute to order by asking the cashier for their top preferences, I ended up browsing through the kiosk back and forth, trying to decide what to order. Although I could have easily walked over to the cashier and asked, I was captivated by the colorful and cheery flavors displayed on the big screen. I ordered MANGO MILK from their Slush Series. It came out creamy with chunks of visible mango pieces throughout the drink. The flavor was acceptable, but I thought the price was pretty steep at nearly $8. Total time spent browsing through the kiosk: 5 minutes. Waiting period: less than 2 minutes.

    Star Jelly Grapefruit Green Tea

    I come here all the time and it's hands down my favorite boba spot in Long Beach! Every drink I've had has been amazing, and everyone I've referred here ends up loving it too. My personal favorite is the black tea with milk foam. It's so good and always perfectly balanced. My boyfriend is obsessed with their refresher drinks, so we're both always excited to come back. They also have a really great points system, which means I'm constantly earning free drinks (always a win!). I've tried a lot of different boba places since moving to Long Beach, and this one is definitely the best I've had. The drinks are consistently great and the experience is always worth coming back for. Highly recommend!

    Very small boba shop near the AMC theatre and it's decorated so cute! Not only do they have a variety of drinks and seasonal drinks but they also sell blind boxes and keychains! The barista was kind and it seems like a one-man-show behind the counter. No real seating area with tables - it's more of a to-go stop

    Went in for the dragon fruit oolong lemonade tea but turns out it 's seasonal and i missed the end date, henry noticed i was indecisive and he was kind enough to offer a drink that didn't disappoint and perfectly satisfied my craving. He suggested a mango peach green tea with star jelly, sooo refreshing. I don't believe the drink is currently on the menu, but it needs to be ASAP!! Please let's work on bringing this back ASAP!

    Charming Indonesian new taste treats abound at this wonderful new place for Boba and milk tea a wonderful little bit of flour recreations and easy to use kiosks make this a wonderful and thoughtful place to come for Hoang Earl Gray another tea, beverages, hot and cold highly recommend it I tried the pistachio perfection, white milk, chocolate, and it was totally delicious

    Boba drink

    I came to get boba 30 minutes before closing and came back 10 minutes before closing to buy another because my drink spilled all over my car floor but THE GOAT worker gave it to me for free. They were super sweet even before all this chaos happened and the boba was amazing

    The Best Matcha Einspanner in Long Beach!!!…read more I'm obsessed with the Matcha Einspanner, and it's usually the only drink I get here. The regular Matcha Latte is so good, but I love getting the Matcha Einspanner because it makes the drink more creamier. I always get the Matcha Einspanner with Oat Milk because whole milk is typically overpowering and reduces the matcha flavor. The cream in the Matcha Einspanner is not salty or bitter, and it has a subtle sweetness, but it's not too much. The drink itself is a perfect balance of bitter and sweet, and it has this beautiful green color. The employees are also super kind and helpful! They sometimes give you an estimate on how long your drinks will take which is so nice! They're also very knowledgeable about the menu which is great if you're ever curious about something on the menu. The cafe is in a busy plaza with two cafes, a vet hospital, a liquor store, a dive bar, a hair salon, and a nail salon. Parking is my biggest issue when coming here. I usually just deal with it because I love the Matcha Einspanner, but sometimes it's just annoying. There's a parking space reserved for "Ding Tea Customers for Pick-Up", Ding Tea is the business that used to be the where Teatopia is now, but you would think by now they'd change the sign or stick a piece of paper on it saying "Teatopia". The cafe has about four table with seating, outdoor seating, a restroom for customers, and a station where you can make ramen. It's always clean in the cafe. I'm almost a regular here so I'm going to continue to come here and just deal with the parking!

    The matcha here is wonderful! I always go with the free extra gram, personally I love how it…read moreelevates the drink. The milk teas are just hit or miss some days... but I'm biased, 8/10 I'm here for matcha & don't usually branch out. The regular matcha latte is perfect- not too much, not too little. I find that with the speciality matchas, the add-ins can kind of overpower the drink. If you like it extra sweet, though, they would be right up your alley! The employees are always so nice & helpful as well! I can always ask them their opinion on a drink & receive honest feedback & unique recommendations. I truly appreciate their help, they make the experience all the better.

    Sadly the hype of this place was hugeeeee that I think that takes my expectations to another level…read more Unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. This place sits right next to the bowling alley and there is actually No big sign for it. Thankfully when we went there was no line either which was great since everyone talks about how busy it gets in there. There was a kiosk or you can order with the employee. She told us they were known for their jelly's so I made sure I tried it. I ordered a black milk tea with matcha jelly And hubs ordered his with almond pudding. Thankfully I could adjust sweetness and milk. I thought mine was good. It's not bad but I knew it wasn't something I would crave. Hubs did not like his as much as I did. Our kids loveee Their matcha but I was not able to try it. If I'm in the area again maybe illl have some but it's definitely not something I'll drive out of the way for.

When I went to the Yelp page and looked for how the outside looks I figured out I was in the right spot. First of all, it was night time, dark. And I was looking for the sign.

Easy to order. There is a self kiosk. Drinks were good. Boba texture wasn't that great. It was very chewy.
