It's actually super frustrating that drinks that "come with boba" you can't just sub it out for another topping. I literally had to fight with the cashier that I wanted grass jelly instead of boba with my Thai tea and she still wanted to charge me an extra $1 for the change. It's A SUBSTITUTION. I hope they get back to figuring out better drinks instead of robbing my kids with their claw machines!!!!

Luckily after a little research, we found Tea Monks. The parking lot was packed on a Saturday afternoon so I thought we would be in for quite an adventure just to find parking. Fortunately we were able to find a spot fairly quickly. The line was out the door for Tea Monks which can only be a sign that there is deliciousness waiting for us through the front doors. The line moved quickly which was both a pro and a con. Since it was moving so fast, we would have to make a choice from all of the great options. I was torn between the cabana berry smoothie and the green apple slushie. Ultimately landed on the slushie and decided to add strawberry pearl. There are a few small stools to use while waiting but not much room other than that. Fortunately our drinks were up in a matter of minutes. The first sip was heavenly and hit the spot. I'm always skeptical ordering "green apple" because I'm scared that the apple flavor will fall flat but this one was perfect. I could taste the apple and the tartness was great. The strawberry pearl was a perfect addition. I'm so glad we decided to stop here before heading home.

The menu is large and a bit overwhelming. Whatever the order, the flavor is consistently good. I'm happy that they have a frequent buyer program (Clover app) - Free drink when you buy 10. It's takes awhile but it's nice to get that freebie. Sometimes, they're lightly staffed so it can take a while to place or get your order if ordering in person.

The sundaes with churros and the boba teas were a hit for 70 guests especially the teens after splashing in the pool on a summer day. There was enough variety for 50 guests (6 flavors of tea and 6 flavors of ice cream). Ice cream and teas were the perfect treat for a summer party. Most had seconds. The iced coffees were a hit for the parents who had to drive after a big lunch. I highly recommend Beachin Boba.

She took my order and then I kept thinking she would wash her hands since she was just wiping up the floor, but she didn't. As she took the cup from stack her hand touched the rim of my cup. I had ordered a Tai Tea no Boba. The rest of the time she didn't touch my the rim of my cup. But I did see how she was touching the milk carton and the handle of the Tea, and thought how the next person would touch it and it would be dirty. I have worked making Juices and know that is not acceptable and needed you to know that and anyone else will be on the lookout. My tea tasted good, this was my second time there.

The drink selection is somewhat smaller than other boba places which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if you want super creative drinks, this isn't the best place.

I've had great teas in the past and my last visit was no exception. I recently did ask for a lychee fruit tea with lychee jelly and was asked do you mean like a milk tea, to which I responded yes. Little did I know that made my order a lychee milk tea with lychee jelly. I just assumed I was being asked to be made like a milk tea with just tea, not milk added. When I received my drink, I noticed there was milk just due to coloring and honestly just gave it a try since I was in a rush. It wasn't bad, so I just kept it and continued on with my day. My husband actually loved it, so even better and it worked out. My suggestion is just make sure to clarify your order if you truly care about your specific drink.

I ordered Thai milk tea and passionfruit lemonade via Uber eats. They made these drinks with ice (I…read moreasked for no ice). The Thai tea looked creamy and had black residuals in it. They took them back and made me new ones which was nice. However it took a long time to get my order because of the mistakes. I also ordered churros. They were ok. The service was great though. The space was a decent size. There's an arcade machine, a claw machine and some tables for hanging out. I would say this is not my boba place of choice but i would go back if there's no other good boba places around.

This drink is not great to me; it tastes a little grassy and powdery, and it has an aftertaste reminiscent of mung bean which I don't feel works well. The sugar level is appropriate though. Other drinks: 1/1. Lots of milk teas, coffees, juices, slushes, and smoothie options. Ambiance: 0/1. The store feels more like a storage room than a shop front; there are boxes, plushies, and such everywhere. No seating. It's located in a random shopping plaza with plenty of parking. Service: 1/1. Order at the counter. There is a rewards system, I think it's through Fivestars. My drink came out VERY fast. Total: 2/5
