Came by for some boba because I was thirsty on a hot day. This is small baba store in a plaza with plenty of parking available. They also sell blind box and stuff dolls. Two crawl machine were located by the door. I ordered mango butterfly with jelly (#10 of the top 10 drink) and l mango Mojito. Service was fast. Server was friendly. My first impression: Both drink tasted like sugar water. The mojito is pretty refreshing on a hot day. The mango butterfly was just pure sugar syrup. Pretty sad with how they came out as I was hoping something refreshing and fruity for the hot weather. Unsure if I would like to come by for boba drink again. read more

Hello Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - El Monte, California

Cute little place tucked in the corner of a plaza. The boba choices are delicious, which includes popping boba. Popping boba is great because it burst in your mouth juice. It is like a surprise for every sip. They have a variety of drinks, but I wish they had more decaf choices that are tea based. Otherwise, could be a good place to study or take some instagram pics. It would be a good date place if they play music. read more

Good boba drink! Ordered a regular milk tea with boba and had decent amount. It's located in a not so busy plaza, parking was easy to find, actually gets really dark at night. Staff are friendly, they have another store in El Monte of the same name. They have bright decorations inside and it wasn't busy the time we went, I went back in the car after ordering and we only had to wait 5 minutes for our drink! We had plans right after and only came here for a quick pit stop so didn't have time to check it out more. read more

Decided to give this place a try on Thanksgiving Day. The lady at the cashier gave the vibe that she did not want to be there... it was a holiday, so I get it. I ordered two coffee milk teas. Both the coffee and tea flavor were lacking. The drink would be okay if it was around $3, for $6 I would recommend any other spot. 2 stars for the shop being clean. read more

Not too sweet not to earthy matcha flavor just right. read more

Refreshing beverage in El Monte, Los Angeles, California... "Hello Boba" reminds me of Hello Kitty... I had to visit... Thanks for the free shared parking lot in the front! I appreciate the convenient, clean restroom inside! Thank you for the efficient, polite service! I got a 10 percent discount for being a Follower on Instagram, and I got an additional discount for paying cash! I also received a stamp card for future visits! The interior is cute, but had no air conditioning. The door was left open, but it wasn't enough for me. I ordered a Butterfly Mango refresher because of the colorful layers. It's also one of the Top Ten most popular drinks. It includes mango and lychee jelly... it was a bit sweet, so I added some water to it. It tasted fruity and delightful! I wouldn't mind returning! read more

My wifey and I came here about 5 minutes ago and we both got the brown sugar boba milk tea. The menu was very helpful as we were able choose our drink with caffeine or without. The drinks were the right amount of sweetness and the service was quick and easy. We like that there's a menu outside. Clean minimalistic vibe. read more

NGL: I miss Ding Tea. And this is in ko way a comparisson, but I was so used to the Ding Tea that was located in this spot, I just keep calli g it Ding Tea. I stopped by the other day and noticed that the menu has changed from what it was a few months ago, and saw they had a 'mango matcha latte', which sounded ok, (this weekend was hot!!!) and so here I am all happy to get some popcorn chicken and the matcha latte and Imwhat they gave me was... milk. I could not, for the life of me find the matcha flavor ANYWHERE. Now, the mango puree was ok-ish, but it still wasnt enough to overpower the milk taste. They added jelly to my drink even tho I didnt ask for any, but there were a few customers there and only two people so I guess this is bound to happen. At least they kept the same decor‍. Hopefully the taste on some items can improve w time. This is a great space for a boba place. read more

Amazing customer service and the person at the cash register was able to help me choose my drinks from their grand list of menu. Pretty nice ambiance to hang out with friends and play board games/etc. Order the x2 mango mango, watermelon mojito, butterfly lychee, and milk tea. The drinks were not overly sweet and their smoothies were blended completely (no ice chunks). read more

I've been a returning customer since their grand opening on Garvey! This one is closer to my home and their drinks here are always consistent. Smoothies are blended perfectly with no chunks! Bobas are chewy, fat, and full of flavor! Service was nice and quick! I never got her name, but she made my drinks every time and I've never complained once. read more

Hello Boba - Crme Brulee Thai Tea, Crme Brulee Oreo Smoothie, Crme Brulee Matcha Smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - El Monte, California

Pros: extremely veteran boba experts also the boba is always fresh. Cons: I don't want people to know about this place or it'll get busy. You ever go to a boba shop and everything is painful because the servers aren't awesome at their jobs? I've been to some where they don't know how to adjust sugar levels. Some take 10 + mins to make drinks. Some don't make you feel welcomed. Not at hello boba! The boba connoisseurs here are fantastic. Here's a few reasons why prefer hello boba. 1.) Boba is always fresh. I've ordered here 10+ time and several stamp cards worth. I've never gotten old boba. It's always chewy, sweet, and soft. ALWAYS. 2.) they're quick with it. Everything, ordering, making your drinks, packing your drinks. If you order 3+ drinks they'll give you a cool boba bag that holds your boba drink nicely. 3.) I feel welcomed. They greet with a smile. 4.) they remembered my wife's drink order. I can't tell you how many times I come here forgetting what she wants. They remember it. Well.. Tuan does. There are others where I'm still fumbling over the order and they're picking up on that. 10/10 would come back 10/10 would recommend to a boba drinker. Only negative feedback: sometimes there's a large order and the boba connoisseurs are just busy af concentrating on fulfilling that order. But that's normal. Happens rarely. Also they're fast af. I don't know how they're so fast. They truly have a magic touch. I have to reiterate this. I've never had stale boba from Hello Boba. Their boba always hits. Also I always order to go. I like their chalkboard, me and my 5 y/o son always mess around with it. Nice interior. read more

I'm a BIG fan of the OG location. Love the little kiwi mascot that they have, the cute theming and design of the cups (saying that I deserve boba, is a huge plus in my opinion), the variety of drinks that they have there, the little shop they have where you can purchase cute little trinkets and goods or use your stamp cards for them, and the service. So when I heard that they just opened a second location, I was happy to hear that! Unlike the original location, there is much more seating here and it's a much wider space. Better for hanging out with friends or grabbing a table to yourself to study. When I went there were some plushies to purchase, but nothing like all the trinkets (keychains, earrings, mini bags, etc.) that they had at their other location, so hopefully this can be implemented as they go through their growing pains. The good news is that they accept the same stamp card here too! So double up! I got their Oreo Garden milk tea at half sweetness and less ice. Solid potted plant milk tea, came with a good amount of Oreo crumbs on top and it's not too sweet with that adjustment, but just enough. I got this without boba, but I feel like if I got a topping, it would become increasingly sweeter. As it has the same drinks as the original location, I think I'll go back to my horchata or crème brulee drinks. read more

I visited this store for their grand opening celebration and free drink promotion. I received a t-shirt for being one of the first few waiting in line. They did affles for many great prizes, but I was not able to return in person for the drawings. The owner was very friendly and accommodating to the new customers providing chairs to sit and snacks while waiting for the opening. I ordered the the butterfly mango with lychee jelly and boba with adjusted sweetness. The drink was tasty and the colors were visually pretty. They had macarons for sale, while tempted, I ended up not purchasing. I have been to the other Hello Boba location on Garvey. I was happy to participate for their grand opening and want to wish them the best for their new location. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Hello Boba - The Crme Brulee Brown Sugar Boba Milk and the Mango Matcha Latte are hands down a 10/10 must try - Bubble Tea Near Me - El Monte, California

Tried a few drinks here recently: - Coffee Milk Tea w/ boba: (4/5) Ordered 50% sweet. Drink was good, but boba was bland. I think they just cooked the boba because they were a bit warm even though the drink was iced. - Honey Jasmine Milk Tea: (3/5) Ordered 50% sweet and it was still really sweet. Also had an artificial taste that I didn't like and might've actually been the honey part. Not my favorite. - Fruit tea w/ popping boba: (4/5) I don't actually know which flavor the S.O. ordered but it was very tasty. We usually don't get popping boba so I don't have much comparison but I liked the few sips I had of this drink. Refreshing. Overall, not bad, but not the best. I would still come back if I'm in the area but I would try other items. read more

Really enjoyed the drinks from this spot. I liked the other Hello Boba in South El Monte and had high expectations on this one. Can say the drinks are also good and they have macaroons here as well. Ended up getting two drinks and 6 piece of macaroon. Macaroons were delicious and worth the price. I got the coffee milk tea and I thought it was really good. Also had a sip of the butterfly mango and you can get away with 0% sugar since the contents are already sweet. Glad have this location close to home and might be my new go to for local tea/boba spot. read more

Save your time from coming here. $8 for a Thai tea only to taste watery. Bad attitude as well as if he is doing me a favor.

There are so many boba shops in Arcadia that we had a hard time picking one to try during our short visit. We finally settled on this one because they didn't charge extra for boba. We ended up getting brown sugar boba milk (for my son) and a brown sugar boba milk tea for myself. However, they use half n half, so I was really bummed about that. If they ever decide to make the switch to real milk, then I would consider trying again! read more

A new boba place? It's an absolute yes for me! Hello Boba took over the former Ding Tea in this location and the drinks are pretty solid. The interior pretty much looks the same, but with different ownership. I was immediately greeted and my drink came out pretty quickly! I ordered the Honey Jasmine Milk Tea, and it tastes pretty refreshing! Check this place out if you're looking for a local boba shop. read more

I live very close to this place and was excited to see it replace the previous boba spot. I ordered the Thai green milk tea and the drink was very mediocre for about $7. May come back to try their regular milk tea if I'm not in the mood to drive a little further for something better. read more

Oolong milk tea tasted nothing like oolong, boba was hard and flavorless, absolutely the worst drink I've had in a long time, even the ding tea it replaced was better so that's saying a lot read more

Was looking for a boba shop to do some work at and stumbled upon this place. I used to go here when it was the ding tea! The boba was decent, not the best but not the worst. They had 4 large tables, free wifi, and two outlets. Great spot to come work or chill with friends. I would come back. read more
