With unrelenting increases in prices, Hello Boba brings a refreshing change with great quality. I ordered the rose milk tea, one of the dairy free items, and was pleasantly surprised that it come with boba free of charge. Compared to some of the boba chains in the area, the sweetness isn't overwhelming, which I greatly appreciated. I would still recommend reducing sweetness to 50% or even 25% for those who are watching their sugar intake. The boba has just the right amount of chew. Service was quick and friendly as well. What truly deals the deal is that it's difficult to find any other boba shops at this quality for under $5 (with tax included), great value! I'd highly recommend trying it out if you're in the area. read more

It's a decent boba place in my neighborhood. I've been to the places around there many times, but I've only recently tried this spot. There isn't too much to say here except that if you come during their happy hour, you can walk away with 2 drinks for under $9. That is unheard of! Because of that killer deal, I'll give a solid 4 stars for value. read more

This is literally my most favorite boba shop in California, so far!!! Reasonably priced & very convenient in the services they provide; see below: Place: They casually play K-Pop songs (I'm a fan here) here & there, but the music isn't loud. The audio is just at the right decibel. It's a small shop with a hall, and they sell lots of merchandise there. Service: In contrast to a lot of boba shops everywhere else, this is the only shop where they offer stamp cards with only 8 stamps, the 8th one being the free drink! Plus, the boba toppings are free of cost in every drink, making the drink prices more convenient. Hell yea! Drinks: I've only had their royal milk tea, that tea, jasmine milk tea, & boba brown sugar milk tea, all of which were tasty! Tea & ice adjustments are there, and I often get their royal milk tea. I've never tried their desserts before but might in the future! Definitely recommend!! read more

I'm a regular customer at this place! I LOVE LOVE LOVE coming here! Never disappoints me. I know the cashiers recognizes my face all the time lol Best boba here . read more

I like the drinks and the free drinks that come with the stamps. I like how their boba tastes.

I was in the area, so I decided to try this place. They have happy hour from 4-7, which makes their royal milk tea & thai tea buy one get one free. Since my friend and I didn't go during that time period, I gave the mango mojito a shot. My drink was pretty sour - this is why I rarely get mango drinks. The royal milk tea was average. If I come back, I'll probably try another mojito flavor. The plus is that they have free toppings! Im a sucker for crystal boba so that was exciting. They also do stamp cards that you can trade for boba accessories which are really cute!! read more

Hello Boba - Mango Mojito, Royal Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Monte, California

Sweet little boba shop located in El Monte. My husband ordered the Watermelon Mojito while I ordered the the Butterfly Mango. Honestly, I don't even remember the Butterfly Mango. It was so ordinary that I forgot about it. But my husband's drink on the other hand, was delicious! When he said he was going to order the Watermelon Mojito, I told him WTF who orders that at a boba place?!?!? I said that's stupid.... BOY....was I wrong. We got our drinks, it was then I realized....I messed up. Imagine having the worst day where nothing goes right and everything is annoying. One sip from a magical Watermelon Mojito washes away all the pain and regret of the day, bringing you back to harmony and balance. Yeah ... it's kinda like THAT. read more

Hello Boba - Butterfly Mango 2/5 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Monte, California

Beautiful tasty drinks. Great service, kind workers. The place is super cute. It's located in a semi-busy plaza. I'd definitely recommend!

Very small hidden spot on Peck and Garvey. The entrance was a little confusing. I ordered 13 drinks online of their top drinks. They made it so quickly, which was good. The drinks tasted typical/basic. Nothing special. read more

Nice little boba spot that open during the pandemic! They have markings for social distancing and some hand sanitizer at the side of the register if you need some. I ordered some drinks through online ordering option on yelp, then drove down to pick them up. Parking lot seems spacious, not sure what it's like when things "normalize" but for now parking was easy. I ordered 6 drinks, all were made exactly how I placed the order. The thing different was the free boba option on their drinks. Normally places would charge for the added topping, but their menu shows free. Everyone I got the drinks for liked their drinks. Boba had a nice chew to it. I was concerned since boba isn't as good when they aren't chewy. My sister got regular sweetness on her taro milk tea and she said it was a little sweet for her liking; but you can adjust sweetness here so that's a plus if you need to change it up! Overall, I'm sure we'll come back to try more off their menu. The person at the register was very friendly and respectful too so that's a plus :) read more

*** In Short *** Solid drinks using quality tea. *** In Depth *** The strip mall Hello Boba is located in feels a little abandoned, whether due to the circumstances of the area itself, or as a result of COVID, but when we stopped by around 9pm, the area was both pretty dark and dead, with the exception of this little shop. But most folks are probably just stop in to order and go, so ambiance hardly matters much, especially when their drinks are so tasty: the sea crema oolong I ended up getting was made with what seemed like pretty nice tea leaves, that imparted a somewhat fruity quality to the overall drink. Would definitely come by again. ***Accessibility Info*** Venue - Small cafe, but accessible enough for you to order and go. read more

The craving for boba is real! I may have an addiction. I saw a pic of the Butterfly Mango on FB and fell in love with the colors! Luckily, it tastes great and is super refreshing, too! We were in the area and I was having the cravings! We came by during happy hour where there are 4 items that are BOGO 50% Off! On Mondays - Fridays from 4-7 pm. Boba Thai Tea - the tea itself was a bit off from the usual flavor and a tad watered down. Definitely go with the other drinks. Butterfly Mango - love the layers of colors, definitely for the 'gram. It's very refreshing with the Mango tea flavor and lychee and Mango jelly. Could have went with 50% sugar or wait til all the ice melts. It was a bit sweet for the first few sips. Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea - the traditional milk tea with boba, very delicious. The bobas were perfectly chewy and great sweetness. The shop itself is super cute and it smells great when you walk in! Smells like tea! Service was quick and friendly. There was a short wait for the drinks, but urt wasn't bad. Parking was easy as they share a lot in the plaza. They have some cute merch, even boba socks! Love it! Recommended! read more

Decided to go on a late night boba run with my boyfriend and eventually found this place! Once we entered the store, we were greeted by a kind and friendly employee. He was incredibly helpful and had great energy when he was talking to us. I decided to buy the Horchata smoothie and it was very tasty and delicious! The consistency was great and the boba was not only free, but tasted great! Also it was even more impressive considering that we went close to their closing time and the boba was still fresh. Overall, this place is adorable, has a great atmosphere and vibe, delicious drinks, and an amazing experience that was enhanced by the A1 customer service! Shoutout to NATHAN for being a great cashier as well as for having a nice conversation about One Piece with my bf LOL! read more

Hello Boba - Horchata Horchata Cinnamon Crumbs Smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Monte, California

Hello Boba has a super cute asthetic and serves up solid drinks. It's located in a little strip mall, and to be honest it looks kind of out of place. Like if you put the most instagrammable Tokyo beauty store in the middle of suburban LA. But that's exactly what I love about Hello Boba. It's unmistakably hip and uses high-quality ingredients. I tried the matcha, and I would say it's on par with the best places in LA. Is it a boba revelation? No. But it fits the bill, hits the spot, and will make it onto your 'gram for sure. read more

Parking is spacious. Wi-Fi unknown. Drinks are great! Service is nice. I felt like it could be cleaner. No tables for studying. Lot of people going in and out. read more

I'm surprised a boba shop opened up here because it's located in a small plaza and it seems out of place since everything around it is more outdated. Inside is nicely decorated and they sell some cute things as well. I ordered their Peach Green Tea and it was surprisingly good. It was sweet and refreshing. I wish I got the bigger size. Their Jasmine Milk Tea was less impressive although if you do get it I would recommend 75% sweetness since their drinks are on the sweeter side. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way for it but I would come back since I'm in the area sometimes and it gets my boba fix in. I'd definitely want to give their other drinks a try. read more

Hello Boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Monte, California

April 2021 - Super cute place and friendly staff! The cashier was very patient with us when we were trying to decide what to order. We ended up getting a brown sugar milk tea with peach popping boba, tiramisu latte, matcha milk tea, and earl grey milk tea. Large size, less ice, and regular sweet. All of them were pretty good but my favorite was the earl grey milk tea. Sooo good!!! Highly recommend for those who enjoy earl grey! I'd probably get 75% sweet though for the drinks next time I go but we will definitely be back! And make sure to get a punch card from them too!! read more

It's the third time ordering here and we love their drinks . Teas, boba milk tea, slushes. All great Flavor. We order ours with less sweet (25%), I don't know what regular is like. It's perfect for us. The reason for taking off a star is the mango slush has the Tajín on it like the chamango and it's not stated on the description. The first time I ordered it and I thought it was a mistake , but I drank it anyways. Second time ordering it , still has it. I crave the mango flavor without tajin. Since the item description doesn't have it I didn't know I had to write in comments (I get it delivered due to disability unable to drive) read more

Hello Boba - Mango slush (not the chamango) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Monte, California

It was my first time visiting since I was in the area. I really like the aesthetics of the shop and their drinks. I decided to order a strawberry matcha latte with oatmilk and boba since that seemed to be a favorite amongst the Yelp reviewers. However, since I've tried this same drink at many other boba shops, I would say that it is just okay from here. I definitely wouldn't mind visiting again and trying their milk teas since the consistency of their boba was cooked nicely. Also, I see that they do offer a Buy One get one Half off specifically for the drinks listed, which is a pretty nice deal. read more

Ordered on yelp for pick up! Ready on the estimated time stated on yelp! Loved that. I tried the Vietnamese coffee with boba. Very sweet for me, but it was perfect for sipping throughout my shift on a Friday after a long week! Great caffeinated sweet treat! Boba was nice a chewy soft. I enjoyed my drink! 4/5 read more

Hello boba is the place to go when you need a good boba I personally love the brown sugar boba

This review is based on my first time experience. This is a small boba shop, but I like how they added a hand sanitizing station in front for customers and kept the door open. A menu is stick onto the glass, so customers can see what they want before walking in. There was no problem with service and my drinks were made pretty quickly. Their regular milk tea tastes like hong kong rich milk tea, and I did not adjust my sweetness but the taste came out just fine! The brown sugar boba is chewy and soft, but the crystal boba was a bit hard and could be cooked more longer. Other than that, I'll come back to try other drinks :-) read more

This place is quick, friendly, and has all the normal options with a few things we've never seen before. My fiancé ISNT crazy about boba, but he LOVED the strawberry slush. If you like the Trader Joe's strawberry fruit popsicles...it tastes very similar. I got a oolong tea with the sea cream topping at 50% sweetness, which is usually topped with salt but this one was just sweet. It was still very good and we would definitely come back if we're in the area again: read more

Very cute boba shop in El Monte that carries unique line of mojito drinks. Unfortunately, our drinks came out incorrect - we asked for less sweet and all of the drinks came out full sweet. We in a rush so found out when we were on the freeway already. Luckily I was able to dilute my mango mojito at home and got even more value in my drink!! read more

This place has some of the cutest cups I have ever seen! Unfortunately, those cute bear lids keps popping off every time I tried to pick up the cup. The horchata drink was absolutely delicious. I would come again just for this drink! The pina colada could have used a bit more flavor because it ended up tasting a bit watery. My friend got the chamango and said it was good too though. The inside of the store is super cute with a simple but fun wall painting and random things up for sale. read more

Hello Boba is in the plaza at the corner of Garvey and Peck. The interior is adorable and their mascot is a kiwi! They have select items on their menu, so don't go expecting a huge variety. We ordered the Strawberry Matcha and Butterfly Mango, which has mango and lychee jelly. Both drinks were gorgeous and tasty, but there was too little matcha and too much milk in the Strawberry Matcha. read more

This place is amazing!!! I live in Rialto and when we visit my mom in El Monte we have to stop by and get our boba fix. Nice and friendly service and my kids favorite drink is the taro smoothie with boba. You can also shop for cute little accessories while you wait for your drink. If you live close by stop by. The also give a card stamp for a free drink. Soooo worth it. read more

Best customer service! Staff is friendly and willing to answer questions about the menu. I have a niece with Type 1 Diabetes which requires to ask the amount of sugar, ingredients, and number of carbohydrates. Staff including the owner were extremely helpful and provided the information needed to adjust her insulin intake. The owner shared the food labels of the product and weigh the proper amount of boba per serving size. Highly recommend!!! :) read more

Hello Boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - El Monte, California

This is my favorite boba spot! The staff are always so nice. I love that I can call and place my order. My boyfriend always gets the Thai tea with brown sugar boba (he's a man of routine) I get the brown sugar latte with brown sugar boba. It's sweet but so good. I always have to get a second drink because I love the brown sugar latte but want to try everything on the menu! I've had the Oreo garden and it was so good. They also had a seasonal pumpkin pie drink with pumpkin purée and topped with I want to say graham cracker crumble or something similar. I have yet to have a drink here that I don't like. They do have happy hour for Thai tea and milk tea and it's buy one get one free. They also offer a punch card as a reward system. So you buy 8-10 drinks and get one free! read more

I'm NOT a boba fan. But my wife is. So when I got some dim sum next door at Dim Sum King, it was a no brainer to go here to get some boba to go. From 4 pm to 7 pm, it's buy one get one free for Thai or Royal Milk teas. BONUS. The shop looks more like an LA Westside hangout rather than an east valley strip mall shop. It's got the hipster vibe with the cool tones and minimalist furniture. The crowd is also mostly hipsters. From what my wife told me, she liked it and the prices, especially during happy hour, are insanely good! Parking is ample and the location is easy to get to on the southwest corner of Garvey and Peck Rd. There are many other flavors to choose from, but with the happy hour special, why not load up and buy one, get one? read more

Great place! I will be coming again. The business was clean. There was a good variety of drink choices. I got the mango mojito drink. A large was under $4. Also half the toppings are free. Boba and Crystal jelly are free. Most places charge extra for boba. They also have stamp card that gives you one free drink after your 7th purchase. My sister got the taro taro drink, and it was nicely made. They added like purple sprinkles on top. Even the cup lid had little bear ears on it. It seemed very picturesque. There's also a happy hour on Thai tea and Milk tea. B1G1 from 4pm to 7pm. read more

Showed up here and man the boba was good. I got the mango boba and was not disappointed. Staff was friendly and their prices were cheap. Definitely found myself a new boba spot. read more

Solid boba spot. Probably will come back more. Ordered a variety of drinks and all were good. Toppings were also good. Fast service, pretty cute shop with some items that they are selling inside too. Royal Milk Tea 4/5, slightly sweet. Jasmine Green Milk Tea, 5/5 Rose Milk Tea, 5/5 (taste pretty good, not chalky/artificial like some places) Earl Grey Milk Tea 4/5 Butterfly Coconut 5/5 for looks, 3/5 for taste (it was okay, not bad) I really like their mango pudding & white boba! The price is pretty standard, and they have stamp cards too! read more

Good boba spot in the city of El Monte. Drinks come out fast and I usually go for the happy hour from 4-7 on weekdays. Not my favorite boba spot, but they offer solid choices whenever I'm in the city 3.75/5 read more

Stopped by the Dim Sum place next door and came across Hello Boba. We ordered 3 drinks. Fiancé loved the Taro Taro. I loved the Mango Mango but I could do without the Tajin they sprinkle on top of it. I did add peach popping Boba and it was PERFECT. I guess it wasn't very MANGO MANGO at that point lol We both shared a mango mojito. That was delicious as well. Customer service was awesome. read more
