Ngl I was a little nervous getting just 50% sugar because of how much of a sweet tooth I am, but it was surprisingly perfect! The boba also added a nice touch of sweet. I loved how unique the boba was! Tea flavor itself was perfect and delicious. Too bad I don't live around here because I would get this all the time! Service is either self-order on a kiosk or at the counter. This location is a little standalone building kind of in the middle of the street. Small amount of seating inside, more tables outside. Definitely recommend, you won't regret it!

We stopped by Odd One Out Tea in Santa Monica and ordered the 23 TW Golden Buddha Silk Boba and…read moreYuzu Osmanthus Silk Boba, both with jasmine silk boba. The Golden Buddha was a little disappointing for me. I was expecting a more pronounced tea flavor, but it was quite subtle and lacked the depth I was hoping for. The Yuzu Osmanthus, on the other hand, was much more enjoyable! It had a great balance of flavors, with a refreshing citrusy note that made it perfect for a warm, sunny day in Santa Monica. However, I couldn't really detect any osmanthus, which was a bit disappointing given the name. My biggest letdown was actually the jasmine silk boba. I was looking forward to the floral aroma and delicate tea flavor of jasmine, but neither really came through. Instead, it tasted mostly sweet, and a little too sweet for my liking. I couldn't detect much tea flavor at all. Overall, I enjoyed the refreshing combination of flavors in the Yuzu Osmanthus, but I wish the tea notes were more pronounced, especially in the silk boba. For a tea-focused shop, I was hoping for a little more depth and complexity in the drinks.

Boba Lab was one of the vendors at a work event and the customer service was amazing. The drinks…read morehonestly weren't my favorite, they were a bit too sweet for my taste, and the boba itself was more bland compared to other honey boba I've had before. That said, the owners were some of the kindest people I've met, and that genuinely made the experience so much better. Good customer service and warm, welcoming people really do make a difference. You can tell they care about their customers. Even though the boba wasn't exactly my preference, I still left with a positive impression because of how nice they were.

I had the passion fruit tea 25% sweet which was technically advertised as made with real passion fruit puree but it was just a premade syrup from Teazone. I received the drink and was disappointed that it tasted like water with some passion fruit resemblance. I had expected a stronger tea flavor since I did less sweet, but it tasted like sweetened water. I ended up discarding the drink. We also had gotten a classic black milk tea, which also tasted watered down, and finally we got the ube coconut smoothie, which for some reason was grey and white. We got that one at 75% sweet, but it was way too sweet and left a weird residue in my mouth. Very disappointed and would not come back again.

Everything's made fresh to order but the waiting time was relatively decent. They did serve plenty of choices including for vegetarian options. We got their Spicy Salmon and Sunny Blue Curry. The first one was bit more tomato-ey flavor to my palate than spicy. The rice was perfectly cooked and moist coated in crunchy nori wrap. The salmon was pretty generous as well. I would recommend the latter more though as the curry flavor was so bold and delectable, well elevating the tender chicken.

Looking for a cute breakfast spot in Beverly Hills? Urth Caffé is calling your name!…read more Who says breakfast of champions has to mean pancakes, waffles, and eggs? Not this girl! I marched right in, ordered the biggest salad they had, asked for a coffee large enough to fuel a small village, and was one happy camper! Meanwhile, my bestie ordered a gorgeous waffle that looked like it belonged on the cover of a breakfast magazine. Was I jealous? Me? NEVER! Okay, fine. Maybe a little. I may have stared at it once or twice. Purely for research purposes, of course! But between my mountain of greens, my supersized coffee, and the company of my bestie, life was pretty darn sweet! If you're wandering around Beverly Hills looking for a charming place to grab breakfast, catch up with a friend, and possibly experience a little waffle envy, give Urth Caffé a visit! She had the waffle. I had the salad. We both had a fabulous morning!

I've always been a fan of Urth Caffe but I also always leave wishing it were just a little less…read moreexpensive and a little less crowded! Parking in Santa Monica is rarely easy, so I considered it a small victory when I actually found free street parking in the neighborhood during my most recent visit. My go-to order is usually the D'Lox Toast or the D'Lox Sandwich, but this time I opted for the D'Lox on a bagel. It was absolutely delicious as always, though seeing the $20.65 price tag for a bagel sandwich is always a bit of a shock each and every time. And, of course, I couldn't resist pairing it with a Wazuka Matcha. Another $8.50 later, I had one of my favorite matcha drinks in hand. All said and done, breakfast for one came to $32.28, which is pretty steep especially for a place where you order at the counter and find your own table. That said, the quality is consistently excellent. The ingredients are fresh, everything tastes great, and I always enjoy my meal and overall experience at Urth Caffe. If the prices were a bit more reasonable (and the crowds a little smaller), this would easily be a five star spot for me. Until then, it's still a place I'll happily return to whenever my friends want to go.

My review is for the kindness and service. I brought my…read morethree kids here while visiting Santa Monica for a weekend. It looked fun, colorful and different than the usual ice cream/cold treat experience. The pricing was very high, if I'm being honest, a little outrageous. However, this was a special weekend and a special treat so I decided to indulge. My daughter ordered the watermelon slushie, one son ordered strawberry milkshake and my other ordered the pink colada milk shake. They are kids so they asked for gummies as toppings. I ordered the biscoff shake. My son who usually loves a pina colada drink thought his was too sour. I didn't think it was bad- just different than our usual flavor we are used to. When I asked the girl at the counter who made our drinks if she could remake him another drink, she did without hesitation. She was so kind about it, and didn't charge us. She recommended the Nutella shake and it did not disappoint. I also enjoyed the biscoff shake. For her kindness and willingness alone, I would return again. More businesses should reflect their same approach when it comes to customer service.

Ordering is easy and straightforward, using either the kiosks or the cash register. What makes them stand out among all the dessert spots in Japantown is their super fluffy Japanese-style Cheesetella cheesecakes and freshly baked castella cakes in various flavors. I really love having castella cake with my tea though sometimes they can be too sweet or hard to find, but 7 Miles Tea Lab came through! The mango pomelo sago is a refreshing, filling fruity drink that mimics the flavor profile of a mango sticky rice dessert and has actual fruit instead of artificial syrup. I get excited when I see avocado and fruit combo drinks on menus since they're more unique and the avocado just adds a creaminess that still feels light and healthier but with natural sweetness from the mango. They also didn't make me have to choose between two of my favorite flavors, jasmine green tea and peach, because one of the drinks had both. I was surprised to see lime juice was in the drink because it was subtle enough to just balance the sweetness of the drink without being sour or tart. The jasmine tea with jasmine jelly was my favorite for pairing with the castella cake since it both were very classic flavors and went really well together. Ever since visiting Japan, I've been craving a similar castella cake experience in LA and was so happy to find one right in my neighborhood! Because it's so soft and fluffy, it doesn't feel heavy after a meal. Washing it down with some tea was a nice balance.
