Stopped by photo world and since it's adjacent took my daughter for a treat (reward for test). ~5pm: Employee was VERY eager to help and sell us drinks! Showed us the top ten drinks so we tried 1) Taro Frappe (1/2 sugar) & 2) Cookies & Cream. I really enjoyed the consistency and taste of taro frappe!! It tasted as though he used real taro!!! I also appreciated the paper cover as opposed to plastic. It's a nice sit down - with tables and cushions. Would like to return for a date or hangout - Buy 3 get 1 FREE deal! read more

The drinks were OK (1st time we went, we got the Brown Sugar Milk Tea and Cookies & Cream), but the vibes are off. We've gone here 2x, and both times the customer service just feels lackluster. The overall feel of the place is not inviting. They have a few seats, but it doesn't make you want to stay in and hang out. They're nice, I suppose, but this last time we went, my husband wanted to get the Brown Sugar Coffee w/boba and a creme brûlée top. However, the owner said that the Vietnamese coffee is more popular. My husband said, "Nah, I know what Vietnamese coffee tastes like, I want to try this." And the owner said insisted, 2 more times, that he should get the Vietnamese coffee instead, mentioning that he was the owner and wouldn't tell us to get something that wasn't good. By this point, we were completed turned off by the interaction and just decided to leave. We told him we changed our mind, and he kept trying to figure out what went wrong. It's great customer service to offer suggestions and share the most popular items, but when it turns into insistence, it makes us lose confidence in what you're selling. Why is it on the menu if you're going to insist on something different? Lastly, we saw all the different flavors of milk teas that they offer, and it appears they're just different syrups. It kind of made us feel like things weren't as fresh as some of the other shops we've been to, and with so many to choose from, why go to this one? We won't be back. read more

I am rounding up from 3.5 stars. We came here a few months ago for boba. My LO in her cookies and cream phase wanted the cookies and cream boba. Service was friendly and fast since we were the only customers in the store. Interestingly, after the first taste, both my LO and I didn't feel like it tasted like cookies and cream but now months later my LO said she wants to go back because she liked it. Haha. read more

Stopped by for boba while visiting this plaza for five below. The cashier was very friendly and was kind to take pictures for my sister and I. Got a brown sugar milk tea and a caramel frapp. Both drinks were good and not too sweet like other boba shops. The inside is cute with a modern stylish. read more

Stopped by Sky Boba after browsing the nearby shops and wanted a quick, easy drink break. Vibe / Interior Hard to pinpoint the exact aesthetic--they seem to be going for function over form. Plenty of seating, which is nice if you're stopping in with a group. Order / Standouts I ordered a Thai Tea, which I later found out was sold out after ordering. I was quickly pushed to choose something else and ended up with a Matcha Strawberry instead. My friend ordered a Passionfruit drink. Both were fine, but nothing memorable or standout for a boba shop. Service Unfortunately, this was the low point. The experience felt uncomfortable and pushy. Two friends in our group were pressured to order drinks when they clearly didn't want anything. I also wish the staff had communicated upfront that Thai tea was unavailable instead of rushing me into a replacement order. Good For A convenient, no-frills stop if you just want a quick drink and don't plan to linger. Price / Value The prices were not available on the board so it was tough to gauge up front how much each one would cost or which ones are more premium. We paid about $13 for two drinks. Pricing is standard for boba, so the value itself is reasonable. Parking There's a lot directly in front, but it fills up fast. Expect to wait a few minutes for a spot during busy times. Pro Tips They mentioned a deal where ordering two drinks gets one free--but it appears to be limited to Thai tea or milk tea, so ask for details before ordering. read more

Sky Boba Cafe is one of the most adorable, clean, and peaceful tea and boba shops !! Their service is impeccably attentive, sweet, efficient, and there are plenty of seating areas and tables to relax and relieve yourself from the California heat. The manager works really fast too! What we ordered: Pistachio velvet milk tea with oat milk and salty cream: we really enjoyed how perfectly sugary and creamy this was! The addition of salty cream is highly recommended to balance the somewhat nutty and decadent flavor, plus the oat milk pronounces the sweetness by a touch (8.5/10) Strawberry matcha with oat milk: this is one of their most popular drinks; the matcha tasted very strong and high-quality, but the strawberry jam at the bottom is SUPER sweet in contrast--make sure to mix it all, but trust, once you do, it's heaven in a cup! You truly cannot go wrong with strawberry matcha and this one will not let you down (9/10) Make sure to stop by Sky Boba Cafe if you're in Torrance--it's perfect for a hot day, especially if you'll spend a lot of time walking around, staying active, or working--they also have a lot of promos like for their Thai tea and options to customize your drink in any way you wish! read more

Boba drinks were great and super tasty! I loved how the gentleman behind the counter recommended the top selling drinks. My only issue is the speed of service. He was struggling to make drinks and take orders at the same time, hopefully they get more help! Cafe was super cozy and modern looking inside too. read more

This new cafe has a wide variety of drinks and plenty of seating to enjoy your treats! The owner was very kind and helpful when I asked for recommendations. He made both of my drinks himself, and asked asked if they were to my liking after I tasted them. I love that the strawberry matcha uses real strawberries, and is just the right amount of sweetness. The matcha itself was a little grainy, but nonetheless made well. You also get a great portion of each drink for the price! I would highly recommend Sky Boba Cafe to anyone in the area and have high hopes for its success. read more

Got the dragonfruit jasmine with green apple jelly. The jelly was nice but the jasmine tea had really no tea flavor. I could only taste sugar. Even 50% was too sweet. I think there are better places for fruit tea probably. Can't recommend unless you have a really sweet tooth. read more

Sky Boba Cafe has been such a great addition to the Torrance Promenade since they first opened. It's always nice having a dedicated drink spot in the area, and they've really built an impressive menu with something for every mood. They offer a wide variety of drink categories -- classic velvet milk teas, pure and real fruit teas, jasmine fruit-infused teas, creamy slushes, matcha and taro creations, coffee-based drinks, and even cream-cap teas. Whether you want something refreshing and fruity or rich and creamy, there's always a fun option to try. The staff is friendly! Service is quick, and their store hours make it a convenient stop during shopping trips at Trader Joe's, Home Goods, or any of the shops at the promenade! They also seem to have light bites I'll have to check out next time! If you're at Torrance Promenade and feeling thirsty, Sky Boba Cafe is definitely worth a visit read more

I went in with my daughter today to try their teas. My daughter is a fan and connoisseur of pure jasmine green teas (with boba). We came to check it out. My daughter thought their tea was good. It was solid. I ordered the grapefruit jasmine green tea with no sugar or 0% sugar. The possible owner/customer service personnel raved about their teas and said no problem with the 0% sugar request. My daughter's tea was fine. My tea was not made per my request. I thought it was waaay sweet for a 0% sugar request. Then I looked at my label of the order on my tea, half ice, full sugar . Not what I ordered. That was unfortunate because I was already home when I noticed it. read more

Messed up my order twice, seems like he wasn't paying attention. Ordered matcha brown sugar w/ no boba, and gave me a strawberry matcha and then proceeded to say he'll give me a free Thai tea and it's that their best seller. I said no, and gave me my order WITH boba. SMH. read more

Drinks were ehhhh. I had the Cookies n crème and the matcha brown sugar latte. The cookies n crème was pretty good. I would rate it a 3/5. The matcha brown sugar latte was definitely a NO GO! Just the mix of it was not a good mix. It does not taste ceremonial matcha. Service: We felt extremely rushed.. I also asked about the SIGN that said buy 2 get 1 free. And the OWNER who was at the register has the nerve to ask "Do you REALLLY need it? It's just Thai tea." I mean what kind of service is that... TAKE THE SIGN DOWN if you're going to ask customers if they REALLY need it. And it doesn't even specify what free drink we get. I'm thinking if we buy 2 we get the free one as any drink as well. So false advertisement. No gloves when handing drinks. It was just awful. Ambiance - spacious inside with plenty of seats. read more

Sigh... it's so bad... super UNSANITARY. Really awkward, dare I say, bad service... Let me start by saying there's a sign outside that says buy two get one free... I got nothing free. I saw them used their bare hands to grab the Oreos to crush. They also dropped a cup sticker on the floor, picked it up and stuck it on the cup, then proceeded to stack that cup inside the other cup (the floor sticker touch the inside of another cup). They also leave the milk out on the counter uncapped. Ew I also saw them use their fingers to wipe some of the brown sugar spillage off a cup. Awkward uncomfortable ordering process. Felt rushed. And then after I asked if they used a nondairy milk for the jasmine milk tea (said yes) and about another drink (said they use flavor powder)... he said, " I'm the owner." Uhhh ok??? Going from register to food handling, they didn't wash their hands. I saw them drop a straw when handing to a customer and ignoring it. Idk it seems like there's no system in place right now. I'm just really confused... did anyone get their food handlers license? They were really hyper focused and if a customer said thank you after receiving a drink, it was ignored. There were lots of other minute details. Like mixing spoons on the counter. Touching the spoon head with their hands. Strawberry on the menu missing a y. Crooked lettering on the wall. If you get a free Thai tea just tell them. Just feels really unprofessional overall. Yeah... really don't recommend. Pretty sure most of the five star reviews are fake. read more

The staff was passive aggressive and rude. I went on opening week, maybe they were busy and didn't remember the advertisement they posted online. I asked about it and the guy totally gave me attitude and didn't honor their promotion. I paid full price but honestly not worth it. My son had cookies and cream and said it was underwhelming. I had their strawberry matcha and it totally tasted watered down. Offset does a way better job at it. I don't think I will go any more... read more

We were in the Torrance Promenade Plaza and noticed the new boba shop. We came into the store due to the "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" promotion. Ambiance: 5/5 - The menu is on a mirror surface so it was a bit difficult to read but there were printed menus on the counter. There is a tablet that you can make your order through so very helpful when it gets busy especially since there was only one person running the shop. We ask what the "velvet milk tea" is but it's just naming with no difference from milk teas. The shop itself seems cozy with a few tables to sit at and is very clean. Service: 5/5 - Friendly but blunt. When we asked for a no ice version he stated it's not sustainable. He was happy to provide the drink with no ice but same amount of tea though. Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - they were out of the cream cap jasmine tea so we got a regular Jasmine Tea with no ice, a Brown Sugar Milk Tea with boba, and an Original Milk Tea with boba. The teas were decent but it tasted a bit more syrupy and the boba wasn't the best. Value for price: 2/5 - at Buy 2 Get 1, it was great deal at $14 for 3 drinks. However, once the worker found out we had Yelp, he asked for our number and sent us a message to post as our review. "I've been here a few times already and it never disappoints. Everything tastes fresh, and the place is clean and cozy. You can tell they care about quality. Highly recommend!" The curated message makes us doubt any other 5 star reviews that are vague. He provided us the 2 drinks and asked whether we posted the Yelp review. While we did get the 3rd drink, it felt like it was dependent on a review. read more

They also have fruit teas and brown sugar Boba. They have promos from time to time for even more savings. read more

I saw an ad for Sky Boba Cafe and a buy 1, get 1 free ad on instagram for this past weekend. I'm always up for checking out new boba spots and so when so when I saw the ad, I knew I wanted to visit. Sky Boba Cafe is right next to Carter's Baby and across from Trader Joe's in Hawthorne Blvd. It's a fairly small spot they do have a variety of seating inside from couches to wooden chairs. Before placing my order, I asked the boba barista (who I realized later was the owner) if they still had their buy 1, get 1 deal. He did seem a bit stressed and overwhelmed and told me not anymore (despite the instagram page saying it was for the whole weekend). He explained his employee called in sick and he was the only one there. He did say however that if I wanted a milk tea, he would go ahead and honor the deal. Honestly I was going to get the Earth Taro with Boba drink with taro paste but since he mentioned he would only do the Taro Milk Tea, I went with that. I felt bad he looked stressed and I could tell he was at least trying to make me as a customer happy. He even said he wanted to make me a better drink but since he was by himself, this was all he could do. The Taro Milk Tea ended up being a great drink! I loved the taro flavoring. The drink had just the right amount of sweetness. The boba was soft and chewy. It was one good boba drink! I appreciate the owner doing his best and the Taro Milk Tea ended up being a pleasant surprise. Happy to have been able to check this spot out and will be back another time to try the Earth Taro with boba. read more

AMBIENCE: (5/5) - Very spacious seating areas - Cute retro/industrial decor - Looks very clean overall SERVICE: (4/5) - They seemed a bit panicked when I first got there. Seemed to be from a staff shortage and they rushed the ppl to pick their drink as they had ppl waiting for their drinks to be made and only 1 other person working - But they did make it up by offering BOGO on any 2 drinks! What a steal - And besides that the drinks came very quickly so I think it was just the stress of the moment FOOD/DRINKS: (5/5) - Classic Milk Tea w/Boba (4/5): The milk tea was great, very deep and layered flavor profile. However the boba was just a little overcooked, lost some of its bounce & texture. - Guava Fruit Tea (5/5): Very flavorful. I don't always see Guava at boba places so this would be my go-to if I'm feeling fruity drinks that day. OVERVIEW: (4/5) - Milk tea itself was good, boba could improve a bit. Overall would come back again to give it another try read more

New boba place in Torrance. They just had their ribbon cutting ceremony and offered buy one get one free this weekend. It's located in the Torrance Promenade strip mall, across from Trader Joe's, next to a photo place. So unassuming outside, really cute inside. I brought mom with me to take advantage of the deal. I wanted something refreshing, so opted for Passion Fruit green tea. Mom ordered Dragon fruit green tea. I thought we added boba to both, but only 1 had Boba and I didn't realize it until later. Both drinks were refreshing and exactly what I wanted. I can't wait to come back and taste some of their other drinks and maybe the ramen. Welcome to Torrance Sky Boba Cafe! read more

This place is great if you are looking for something sweet. Drinks are sweet and look pretty. They also serve food, but I didn't get a chance to try them. I imagine that salty and sweet combo would be amazing. There's plenty of parking and plenty of seats inside. I ordered all my drinks with crystal boba and the staff is very nice and honest. You can adjust your sweetness to your liking. The inside is minimalist, quiet, and cozy. The tables and seats are clean and it's a great place to hang out and chill‍ read more

This boba shop is a hidden gem. I was not aware of this boba shop and often went pretty far for boba. This is definitely my new go to spot. I ordered the strawberry matcha boba with oat milk. You can customize how sweet you want your drink. I was extremely pleased with how good both the boba and the drink were. The owner Jackie introduced himself to us and was also very kind. I told him this would be my new go to spot. Definitely recommend trying this place. The ambiance was also a 10/10. The interior design definitely had thought behind it. Very pretty place!! The best experience. read more

Memorable but for the wrong reasons. Came back in September. The ambiance is... warehouse pop-up? Service is slightly off-kilter; my friend found their communication style rude. I think they knew this because they gave me a 2nd drink for free at the end, a Thai tea. We asked some questions about real fruit vs. syrup in the drinks, and most used a syrup. My friend decided not to order there. I ordered a tea since we were already there but I probably should have followed suit. The pearls weren't chewy and the tea tasted mostly like syrup and was too sweet (even with lowered sugar levels requested). This was probably the worst boba I've had from a boba spot in a long while. I hate wasting, but had to toss this one. The free drink they gave me, I was able to give away to a stranger. read more

Tried the Taro Frappe as my first try. I subbed for oat milk as they make it with regular milk if not non dairy or alternative is not requested. The drink was good. Very similar to most places with this. Nothing too fancy.The place looks very nice small but quaint. I can see this place could get filled pretty fast as it's only one person working when I came in but like 6 orders came in a matter of 10 minutes. For a quick boba rush id definitely would cone back not to mention it's perfectly located near all the department stores and Trader Joes. It placed great especially for a hot day refreshment. read more

Tried this place twice and it's just average. They do have a lot of drink options with their syrup options. So they can make multiple milk teas or mixes with green tea. They also have multiple toppings from what I saw, jellies, aloe, popping boba. I tried the regular milk tea, brown sugar, passion fruit tea. The milk tea was okay but I didn't care for the passion fruit tea. Like it was too sweet even though I asked for less syrup. Surprising for the full amount sugar for the brown sugar it was good. The boba texture is ehhh. Maybe people don't order it enough and the 2 times I got it in the drink it clumped. And the texture wasn't the chewiest and it's not sweetened really. There is adequate seating inside. And they're on and off with their BOGO offer. So don't go in expecting it even there is a banner in the front. read more

a newly opened boba shop an the torrance promenade! there was an ad on ig for bogo and i was already going to visiting tj's for groceries that wknd, so why not?! sky boba recently had their grand opening about a month ago. the gentleman who helped me is possibly also the owner. great service and drinks were ready fairly quickly, as i was the only one in line.. the menu is hard to read and take photos as its a bit high and on a mirror with white font this place has soooooo much potential! biz need social media to gain foot traffic to have a successful biz.. this place needs decor! a few plants and/or paintings..their signage isnt straight on the wall, that bugged me a bit lol. i love a minimal look but this space needs something :D but! theres plenty of seating inside! they obvi had a separate menu for their bogo i ordered: thai milk tea lychee green tea both drinks were surprisingly tasty! parking: plenty of parking! across from tj's, on the same side as bob's discount furniture and carter's, right next to 1 hr photo read more

Outside looks kind of subtle and hard to notice. But interior is actually very aesthetically nice and has some seating. They also played kpop in the background. When we arrived, it was only the owner working but he was very nice regardless of how busy it was. We tried the pistachio milk tea and the strawberry matcha. Both were pretty good and delicious! The pistachio flavor was a little subtle though. I do wish the cups were PET cups without the extra branding since they would definitely look more aesthetic and be more appealing! Would definitely come again. read more

Diverse and unique menu; classic boba shop vibes! Drinks: We ordered a classic mango green tea and passion fruit green tea. The teas were decent but nothing special. Boba quality was good. Vibe: Lots of natural light and a handful of tables to sit at. There was one staff member working there and while he was super busy, he was friendly and engaged with the customers. Cons: no public bathroom, but you can go across the street at Trader Joe's! read more

Came in here for their BOGO promotion. Got their jasmine milk tea and their mango blended tea. The service took a while because more and more people came in (their BOGO promotion is very effective, I continue to see it on instagram lol). So we waited about 10-15 minutes for our two drinks, but I think the staffing was just the owner and one other person. The jasmine milk tea was okay. It got the job done. My mango blended tea was pretty good because I'm a big fan of mango drinks. The interior is cute and spacious. Decent amount of seating. read more

Super cute friend hangout spot! I love the couch they have so you can face all your friends. You can order your drinks off the iPad and they get it done pretty fast.

Rating: 1/5 Stars I had a very disappointing experience here. Despite a clear "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" sign advertised right above the store, the staff refused to honor it, citing they were short-staffed and his prices were lower than his competitors--which makes no sense for a promotion. To make matters worse, the service was rude and dismissive. The employee was short with us and gave us a lot of attitude when we asked about the deal. Our order was also incorrect: my drink came with boba despite me asking for none, and they ignored our request for 25% sugar, entering it as half sugar instead. We felt completely unappreciated as customers and won't be returning. read more

Ambiance was blah. I purchased two drinks, and both were completely watered down. I told the staff, but they didn't fix it--just added more syrup without even re-sealing the cups. The drinks still tasted terrible. Total waste of money! read more
