    Left: Guava Passionfruit Green Tea  Right: Guava Green Tea

    Was looking for somewhere nearby to grab a quick sweet drink and stumbled upon this super cute shop so glad I did! The space was clean, calm, and had a really chill vibe. The woman who helped us was incredibly friendly and quick, which we really appreciated. Now for the drinks: we ordered a Passionfruit Guava Green Tea and a Guava Green Tea, and both were perfectly balanced sweet, refreshing, and not overpowering. Each drink came with a slice of orange peel, which added the best extra citrusy note and made them feel extra fresh. Honestly, I'd recommend this small business over any of the nearby overrated boba spots. Quality drinks, great service, and a cozy atmosphere we'll definitely be back!

    Layers Boba is our absolute favorite Boba Place. This used to be a ding tea and though that place was good, it's nowhere near as good as layers. In fact it's the only Boba Place we visit now. The flavors are rich, the Boba and toppings are Super fresh and the drinks are always consistently wonderful. I highly recommend Layers!! I wanted to update my review because I have a new favorite drink, it's a mango juice drink and it's absolutely delicious. I get it with less than 50% sweetness and include aloe jelly. I'm normally a super sugary cream based drink fan but I have really come to love these refreshing fruit drinks with no caffeine. They are AMAZING.

    Fresh and delicious. I have never tasted a Thai tea like it!!! I like how a lot of their flavors you can ask for 50% sweet or 25% sweet.

    Best boba spot ! The owner is so sweet always makes good recommendations and wants to be sure u like your drink before u leave.

    Caramel Oolong Milk Tea + Golden Boba
    Johan S.

    I've been coming to this location ever since it was a Ding Tea, and trust me, it's always been a good experience! My personal favorite is the caramel oolong milk tea with golden boba, always made to the perfect ratio of flavor and creaminess, however if you prefer coffee, the avopresso is one to make the drive for! From when you place your order, to when you receive your drink, is barely a few minutes! Recently the owner purchased the location, making it Layers, and with that, they also did a nice new remodel of the area! And throughout this change, the quality I remember hasn't changed one bit. And since I personally know the people who own this location, take it from me when I tell you, they are masters at making drinks delicious! + WiFi + Use of non-dairy creamer (no lactose) + Food/snacks

    Been here since it was Ding Tea. Staff here is super nice! I love the new table layout. Only downside is that they don't offer wifi

She actually said, "Oh sorry, the lid isn't closed all the way. I tried to seal it twice but it wasn't working. I hope that's okay." It's definitely not okay when we have no other choice in the matter! Aside from the messy packaging, the drink was way too bitter. I really wasn't a fan. 1/10 Vibes - I want to touch on what the inside of the business looks like because... wow, it was jarring. It felt like I walked into some dude's basement. Mismatched curtains everywhere, 2 fish tanks that were straight up brown and green and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a yr, and sus couches just scattered around for no reason. There were cat treats sitting out too which was confusing because apparently there's a cat there?? There were like, 12 dudes sitting there and all watching whatever anima thing was playing on the tv. Absolutely not my vibe at all, but clearly it's catering to a very specific demographic. Cost - $7.65

The service is super friendly and clean and truly some amazing drinks. The menu is pretty vast and you might be standing there for 5 mins determining what awesome drink to get. My kids are easy to please anything with sugar and boba and they're good. My parents not so much. My mom is that typical Asian mom that doesn't like to buy anything expensive outside when she can just make it at home cheaper and better. If you have a parent like this, take them here! My mom was actually blown away by their coffee (which isn't really featured on their menu you have to ask). She was very impressed with the taste and actually wouldn't stop talking about it the whole way up to LAX. My dad also very hard to please, not for the same reasons, he's more than happy to eat out, but just taste wise also very particular. He had the two to mango and drank that in two seconds. That's how I knew it was good. My husband who is always fussy (typical husband) loved his as well. I got him the mangochado I think it's called and it came with a tajin tamarind straw. Needless to say this will always be the spot to hit when I go to LAX. If I lived here, I'd be broke from coming here too often.

The music was blasting and the whole place felt chaotic and overstimulating instead of fun or welcoming. I understand they get busy, but the staff came off pretty dismissive and unfriendly. Even a simple smile or acknowledgment would've helped. There are way too many good boba spots out there to settle for overpriced sugar and bad vibes.

It's a very small store and when I entered in there was a sign emphasizing for all guests to wait outside after placing the order. Since it is located in shopping center, it seems parking is easy, but given that I was walking from the nearby park to here, I noticed there was short 10-30 minute reserved parking spots for those planning to park in the front and wait it out. I ordered the Strawberry Sensation Smoothie and wow, it is top tier good quality! It's not like the all-rounder Strawberry Banana Smoothie you might find at Costco, but this Tastea Strawberry Sensation Smoothie, while a tad more pricier, hits all the right marks for a relaxing treat after a long walk. Service is extremely quick - from ordering to getting my drink from the small takeout window was 4 minutes. Outside there a few tables for customers to sit around. Overall, it's a great spot for those already visiting other places in the shopping center or for those who needs their smoothie fix after a long walk.

I would suggest (and I will be doing this as well for my next sugar grove trip) to do 75% sugar for their matcha for a more leveled balance of matcha and sweetness! The matcha foam was great, thick and strong and not too bitter. The drink itself was such a beautiful dark green! It clearly was really good quality matcha powder. I got it with oat milk (no extra charge). My partner got the Wintermelon Milk Tea and it was great for him! The baristas were fast, nice, and friendly! We got our drinks carefully prepared and I could tell they take great care of their customer's drink appearance which I appreciate!

You get a choice between sweet or salty foam, I got sweet but the salty one sounds fun to try next time. The image poster on the front showed that the drink had a blue spirulina component to the drink that wasn't there in my drink, but it was still good. I think it could use a stronger mango flavor and more toppings. I'd come back to try the matcha drinks next time because all the workers were so sweet!
