The drinks were good overall, but I felt like the shakes had a little too much milk, and the mango sticky rice smoothie could definitely use a stronger mango flavor.

We came here to co-work and although there is limited seating inside, they got some killer drinks. It was super hot outside and we just came from a walkthrough at another business so we were feeling a cold and refreshing drink. I got their Coco Mango blended smoothie which was amazing, the coconut blended so well with their mango puree. I thought it was going to be one of those sugary smoothies but it wasn't at all. I came back shortly after and will continue to do so to get this drink. Parking on the other hand is tough because of the amount of businesses in this lot. You should be fine but it's definitely pretty tight.

I look forward to my next visit to a Sunright.

Service has always been friendly and I always try to swing by whenever I'm running errands on this side of town.

Cha For Tea is a long-standing local boba chain in Los Angeles and Orange County and I still…read moreremember Cha For Tea being my go-to spot two decades ago when they had a location in Alhambra. Currently the flagship location at University Town Center in Irvine (opened in 1999) is still going strong and there's another Irvine location in Woodbridge Village Center. The Alhambra location closed in 2014. This Long Beach location has been around for as long as I can remember and continues to remain a popular shop for local students from California State University Long Beach. [Parking]: Pretty busy free plaza parking lot and may require a little bit of patience before finding an available spot. [Atmosphere]: The shop has a pretty neat mural of the Ferris wheel from the Pike in Long Beach and a cute selection of boba plushies / pencil cases. Chill and laid-back atmosphere. [Menu]: The drink selection is very nostalgic and brought back memories of popular drinks I used to see at most boba places in the 2000s and 2010s. According to the menu, the top 6 favorites are Mango Green Tea, Almond Milk Tea, Matcha Latte, Honey Green Milk Tea, Roasted Brown Sugar Latte, and Peach Refresher. The shop actually offers 4 free samples to try at the front and Honey Green Milk Tea and Mango Green Tea were excellent (S-tier) while Almond Milk Tea and Peach Mint Refresher were alright (A-tier). Regular sweetness for a regular size is 4 pumps and 5 pumps for a large size. *** Mango Green Tea (2 Pumps of Sweetener aka 50% sweetness - Regular Size $4.75): Very refreshing drink and 50% sweetness tasted just right. *** A solid 4.5-star for the drink and bumped up to 5-star due to (1) free samples and (2) affordable drinks (hard to find a quality tea drink for less than $5 in 2026).

I couldn't get there name but they're were such nice workers that help me out and recommend me some of thier popular drink and buddy it was so hard to choose. I eneded up getting the creme brulle brown sugar milk tea and their qq passion fruit. I love how the brown sugar compliments the creme brulle and the sugar on top makes it 10x better. And the qq passionfruit is sooo refreshing especially on the hot summer day, and the boba was nice and chewy not to soft or hard just right. The workers were so so nice and patient with me . Overall I love the area this place is it right by the beach and movies etc.. nice little spot to either grab a quick drink, study or overall hangout. Love this place absolute vibeee . I would definitely recommend coming here at gongcha long beach.

But I also ordered a second drink and got myself a passion fruit green tea, and it came with actual passion fruit pulp, and it tasted like I was eating the fruit itself. Freaking delicious! It was hot on this day, so this tea hit the spot, and both drinks were amazing. The store itself has a great feel to it; it feels like home, and it feels very welcoming. The staff was great; they helped me pick the right drink and answered all my questions. A spot that if it were closer to home in North Hollywood, I'd visit every day! Very good!

I was also at the nearby Daiso doing some light shopping so I wasn't so far away from it. It's located past the Kaiser building on PCH. The parking lot is shared with a nail and hair salon and a relator place, so it's pretty busy. I was lucky to get parking. I think there's street parking on Obispo Ave and Freeman Ave, otherwise park in the parking lot where the Big E Pizza place is and walk over. The inside is really cute! They have a lot of nice decorations, comfy couch like chairs, and the overall aesthetic is minimalist and clean. They have a small menu because most of their items are made in-house, which is awesome. I got their Jasmine Milk Tea - Oat Milk, 30% sweet. Tastes very good, not watery, the oat milk isn't overpowering, and I can still taste the Jasmine. I should note that the Oat Milk here is only $.50, whereas other places it's a $1 or more. I'll be back!

Also had not seen an option for sweetness in Vietnamese coffee.

We tried the Peach Cobbler, Banana Pudding, and Lemon Poppy donuts, and all three were excellent. The donuts were soft and fresh, the toppings were generous, and each flavor actually tasted like what it was supposed to be. The Peach Cobbler was probably my favorite -- warm cobbler flavors with plenty of peach topping. The Banana Pudding was creamy without being overly sweet, and the Lemon Poppy had a really nice lemon flavor. I also ordered the Zombie Coffee with banana cream. If you like your coffee STRONG, this is the one! The banana cream added a nice sweetness and flavor without taking away from the coffee. What really impressed me was the selection. We didn't get there until around 2 PM, and they still had a large variety of donuts that looked fresh. A lot of donut shops are pretty picked over by the afternoon, so that was a huge plus. Service was excellent. Everyone was very nice, welcoming, and helpful while we were deciding what to order. One thing to know: there is no restroom available, so keep that in mind if you're planning to sit and enjoy your donuts and coffee. Great flavors, fresh donuts, strong coffee, friendly service, and plenty to choose from even later in the day. We found this place completely by accident, but we will definitely be back!

Is Boba Guys a ghost kitchen and maybe I'm just not tapped in??? I've been here quite a few times…read moreover the years and my feelings are still all over the place tbh. I've never had a drink I didn't enjoy but almost every interaction with a worker that I've had here has always been very awkward or strange, my most recent visit being the strangest to date so that's what this review will be about. I was shopping in the area yesterday and really wanted a nice cold tea so I naturally thought to go to Boba guys. They've added a self service kiosk since I've last visited but the group in front of my was currently using it so I decided to wait in line either for a cashier to come to the register (because all of the workers were in the kitchen) or for the group in front to finish. A minute or two passes and a worker peeks her head out from the back and looks at me so I politely wave to gesture that I was waiting and she like ran behind the wall and didn't come to help. This was strange but a little while after the self service register opened so I just went there but another group gets in line behind me now and the girl comes out and stands at the register which is really close to the self serve thing and is trying to gesture the customers over but they're not responding and idk I didn't look over but I could just feel the awkward energy. I finished placing my order and she was still there so I said thank you and she just ignored me again. I'm a bit of a socially awkward person myself so I'm trying to rack my head around that interaction as I wait and on the kiosk it said it would text me when my order was ready, but after some pondering I look up and a drink is sitting on the table and my name was on the receipt so I just took it even though i didn't receive a text or hear them call. It was delicious and refreshing of course I forget the name but it was from the summer seasonal menu. About an hour passes and I am long gone on the way to LA to see my friends, and I get a text on my phone saying that my order at boba guys is ready for pickup? If this is a ghost kitchen I think the notification system needs some work but I think it was maybe an error. To conclude as someone who is also a cashier, I completely understand that it's hard to engage with every customer and some customers just want to get their product and go, but I think treating everyone with an baseline level of kindness and hospitality is really important when it comes to serving the public. Yes the drinks are good but the vibe is kind of wack.

I've tried a few of their drinks, but I don't find the tea tasting special at all. The jelly are fine, but also nothing particularly stand out. My first visit I waited like 20mins near closing, which is waaaay better than the hour it was beforehand. And on a recent visit there was essentially no wait. I'm not sure I'd come back as I have other boba shops I much prefer nearby me.

Hechalou ceased to exist at this location. I suspect that owners broke away from the franchise and…read morestarted their own boba business at the same location. They changed the name subtle enough to avoid a lawsuit, but the changes in the menu and the quality of the drinks are far more drastic, and it's not for the better. Gone are the traditional teas and sesame jelly that made Hechalou so famous. These options are replaced by cheap imitations of Starbucks' frothy drinks that sound good on paper but taste like iced piss with sugar. The drinks are excessively sweet, a mortal sin by Asian standard, and they have a generic taste that might as well have one item on the entire menu. Alas, to get a sip of the old favorites, now I have to drive across town instead of stop by after work. I am glad that I got my many trips here before the old guards died, and it's probably better for my hemoglobin A1c in the long run.
