This location is right at the Promenade! I got the matcha red bean tea 50% sweet and it was perfect ! There isn't a lot of seating inside. There are 4 stools inside. This is more of a grab and go place. Service was fine. You can order from the kiosk or order with the cashier. I was happy there was a share tea there for my Asian drinks craving ! read more

This boba spot is right around the corner to the beach. Grab your boba, order ahead and enjoy the views that are Santa Monica. Be that Californian. Quick and friendly service, reasonable prices. It's a chain but the consistency is there and boba is solid! No place to sit but why sit when you have ocean views less than 500 ft away. read more

Hey y'all this spot is really great! I've never gone to a self serve spot and the employees were not very helpful so I had to ask my girlfriend how to navigate thru the kiosk. I believe having a store uniform is important because it makes employees stand up to their positions and titles which should be friendly and welcoming. The ambiance we made great cuz the music was dope and my family vibed out! The drinks are absolutely delicious and I want to give a great big gracias thank you to the people who made this happen! Please stop by and try these drinks friends as they are super refreshing! read more

Sharetea was on our way back after walking around Santa Monica Pier. We decided to drop by to get us some drinks before we continued our walk. There was 4 self-order kiosks. It wasn't too busy so we came right up to one of the screens and ordered Okinawa Milk tea with boba and Mango Green tea. The drinks came out quickly considering ours was the only order at the time. They called our numbers and off we went to enjoy the drinks. The Okinawa Milk tea was a bit more tart than your regular milk tea and the mango Green tea is perfect at 80% sweetness and less ice. The place is really small, there's a few cute photo ops and some benches to wait while the drinks are being made but there isn't actually a place to sit. read more

Very close to Santa Monica Pier. We walked there after walking through the pier. It's a small walk up spot on Broadway. You place an order at the kiosk, very easy. They call your name as soon as it's ready. Not much of interaction. I had the milk tea with 50% sugar and it was perfect. I'd stop by again when in the area. read more

I liked it! Though I had a pretty hard time deciding what to order at first. I asked a staff member if they could make the pearl milk tea with oat milk, but I found out their milk teas use creamer instead of real milk. So I asked if they had anything made with real milk, and he said, "Everything under the fresh milk section." I ended up getting the fresh milk milk tea with boba. He told me oat milk doesn't come with that one, but I said it was fine. I also asked if it was good, and he just mumbled, "I don't know," which was kinda funny. The milk tea actually turned out to be pretty good, especially for a plain milk-and-tea one. The boba was just the way I like it -- soft, chewy, and perfectly sweet. Overall, a great spot! read more

I was so excited to find out that there is a Sharetea near Santa Monica Pier. It is literally a couple blocks from the pier. My eldest daughter and I were at the pier for a CHLA Walk & Play LA fundraising event back in May 2024. I made sure we got some boba drink after the event so here we are... It took us less than 10 mins to walk from the pier to Sharetea. It's a small shop compared to other Sharetea locations. Staff was friendly and greeted us upon entry. I knew exactly what I wanted which was the QQ Happy Family Milk Tea with all the toppings that come with it plus 100% sweetness and no ice. My daughter got the Peach Green Tea with aiyu jelly plus 100% sweetness and no ice. We were the only customers in the shop at the time so it didn't take them too long to make our drinks. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my QQ Happy Family. I was not very happy LOL. It was not sweet at all. It was the worst QQ Happy Family that I have ever drank and I've drank quite a number of them. I still drank it though... I didn't want it to go to waste. It was just an unsweetened QQ. I don't know what happened, but it was not a tasty boba drink. As for my daughter's drink, it was fine. Hence, overall 3 stars. read more

Tasty coffee milk tea with boba added. I enjoyed this a lot. Only one person was working so there was a bit of a wait. But it was yummy and worth it. Got this instead of a morning coffee and while not cheap, it wasn't much more than a specialty coffee in many places. read more

Boba by the beach? Yes please! Came here on a Saturday afternoon and didn't have to wait too long to get our drinks. You can conveniently order at kiosks and they display an approximate wait time on a TV screen so you can easily see how many orders are ahead of yours and when your order is ready. Also for my fellow vegans, you don't need to worry about asking what toppings or drinks are vegan friendly because they have a sign that conveniently tells you! read more

A cold drink on a hot day. Order at an IPad, with a prompt to tip and they call you. No seating. We got our order in about 5 minutes. I am not sure why to tip, there is no service at all. I did like that it comes with a sealed top. read more

Tons of great options at Sharetea -- fruit teas, milk teas, blended options, and non-caffeinated drinks! The best part about this location is there is the option to order on an iPad outside. You are offered all the same options - choosing amount of ice, sweetness, and add-ins, but you can skip the line! After I ordered, it said my order would be ready in 10-15 minutes, but it was ready in 5! I ordered the (27) Mango & Passion Fruit Tea and it was perfectly refreshing for a day at the beach. I want to go back and try some of the other flavors. read more

My friend and I were walking around downtown Santa Monica and stumbled upon this boba place! They had an impressive menu and add on options but I opted for a sweeter, chocolatey boba. (they also have coffee options if that's your jam!) I really loved the taste of my drink! The foam was bit too sweet for my liking but it was good. They also give you a pretty large portion for the prices too which is always great. They didn't have any seating options inside but we were walking along anyways so it was okay. There isn't really any street parking in this area as it's super touristy and near the pier, so this place was more of a place you'd go out of convenience of being in the area rather than going here specifically. That being said, if I'm ever in this area again I'll be back! I want to try more flavors. read more

A little seaside boba shop. Super close to the pier. I went here with my friends after a long day at the beach. Kiosks were displayed both inside and outside the restaurant which speeds up the ordering process. I got the mango green tea and mango+passion fruit green tea both of which were good! Some things to note: - paper straws only (I hate how it turns soggy) - no distinct ordering/waiting area read more

Sharetea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Yay finally a legit boba shop in Santa Monica! At a great location to introduce bubble tea to the tourists too LOL. It's a small to go space and the workers are nice and friendly. I'm so glad they marked the caffeine-free drinks on the menu, because I stopped by after dinner (at Kazunori across the street) and I can't have caffeinated drinks too late. They have one size here (large) and the standard options for sweetness (100%, 80%, 50%, 30% and 0%) and ice amount. I got the winter melon milk tea ($5.75) with boba (+ $0.75), less sweet (80%) and less ice. It was delicious! Perfect amount of sweetness for me (I think people who are sensitive to sweet could go down to 50% or less, since I like my boba on the sweet side). They do use paper straws here, yay for the environment! I had trouble poking in my straw though, but funny enough they anticipated that and have little disposable poking tools to help. Great place to stop at before a day of shopping at Third Street, walking the pier or the Farmer's Market! read more

While I enjoyed my honey black tea here, the boba was undercooked, so it wasn't great. I still gave 4 stars because the staff were super nice and helpful, and service was quick. I loved having the option to customize sweetness level and ice - I don't know why all tea shops don't do this. I'll be back when I'm in the area again. read more

A fast service with great drinks. It's a bit awkward to have so little contact with the staff (but good for introverts I guess?). The tea is delicious and well made. Would recommend if you need a sweet treat. read more

This place is conveniently located near the santa monica pier. I am a regular at other locations so I figured this would be a decent place too. My mango and passionfruit tea with no toppings came out to over $7, which is a lot more expensive than other locations. Worst part is they gave flimsy paper straws with it. The drink tastes roughly the same so that was a good thing at least. read more

Wife and I ordered the taro boba milk tea and the regular milk tea with boba. They were both good, but a tad bit sweet even though we asked for only 50% sweetness level. Boba was good though. Will come back again. Friendly service. Parking structure around the corner as well read more

Fast and delicious boba altho pricy at $7 per small boba Also, couldn't find a fresh milk with boba pearls option. Turns out fresh milk family is milk with boba and grass jelly and yellow jelly even tho I would have preferred just boba and no jelly at all read more

Found some boba while visiting Santa Monica. Wifey ordered pudding in hers. (We got some in NYC and have been searching ever since). I ordered an Oreo thing which was pretty good. We both decided it was better than her taro tea. Took a minute and no one even acknowledged us while we waited. The man behind us seemed annoyed about not being acknowledged either. Pretty decent if you prefer drinks without having to talk to someone. read more

One of my fav boba shops! So happy they opened one here since SM was lacking a legit boba place. It is pricey but worth it for Taiwanese style milk tea. They offer almond milk, soy milk and coconut milk as daily alternatives!

Sharetea - Green milk tea with mini pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Honestly very upsetting. Let me explain. There's an iPad ordering area outside the store, probably for faster ordering.. which is nice. But they need to make some updates. I wanted to order an oolong milk tea with mini pearls instead of regular boba. For the "milk tea with pearls" option, you can't sub mini boba for the regular boba so I put in an order for regular "milk tea" and added mini pearls to my order. Which is already confusing af.. When I got my order, half my drink was boba (see pic).. the reason why I wanted mini pearls was because I didn't want that much boba in the first place. Instead what they did was put regular boba in my drink and then added mini pearls on top of it. Who in their right mind would want that anyway? So instead of asking me if that's what I wanted, they made my drink and tried to play it off like it was my fault for selecting the wrong thing? And look, maybe I didn't order it properly on the iPad but if someone orders double boba (in different sizes too lol), maybe ask if that was what I meant to do? Anyway, I asked nicely if they were able to remake my drink since my drink wasn't even drinkable (drinking different size bobas together at the same time is weird) and the rude girl at the counter says "as you can see we're very busy so no". It was at night, it wasn't busy and the attitude was unnecessary. I totally regret tipping them 20% (they make you select tip as you order on the iPad before you have any interactions with the workers, which I think doesn't make sense but I was trying to be nice). Needless to say, I won't be coming to this location again.. read more

I love it! They have a HUGE selection of beverages and you can customize your level of sweetness and amount of ice in the drink. It's a small to-go shop with user-friendly kiosks to place orders. I had peach tea which was refreshing and really tasty but the menu includes pretty much everything you can think of in terms of coffee and tea beverages and lots of different pearls. It's next to a to-go pizza shop that has pizza by the slice and it's only a block or two from the beach so this is a great spot to grab a drink to go with your slice, then head over to the park next to the pier and enjoy it. read more

Dreadful place- I am a bubble tea addict and this is my least favorite ever. I have given it 2 chances but I won't go again the staff are so rude and disinterested. The boy in there the last time I went with no one in the store insisted that I order online- I couldn't find what I wanted but he refused to take the order and watched me struggle at the computer trying to order. He preferred for me to walk out rather than help so I did- Never to return there so many better options. read more
