Drink was not impressive. Popcorn chicken tasted good, but small portion of small bits, definitely overpriced. Didn't have basils & staff didn't ask if still want the order nor inform me upon pickup. Not a pleasant experience to recommend the place.

Popcorn chicken

My husband and I love ordering from here. We always get the large drink. Today was perfect for that large drink to cool down in this heat. I got a jasmine milk tea with boba and my husband got an iced Vietnamese coffee and mochi sago. And to snack on, we got the fries - well done (per my husband's request cos he loves his fries well done). He said it was cooked to perfection lol.

Vietnamese Coffee
Cheryle L.

Beautiful store. Very clean. Lots of options on the menu. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the staff who were so friendly and excellent. I had my service dog with me and they greeted her as well. I ordered their Vietnamese coffee. Service was fast. I took a sip of my VC and although it was smooth, it lacked that strong punch of Vietnamese coffee I'm used to drinking. It tasted water down, which is why I'm only giving this place a four stars. Everything else was great though!

Banana matcha

I was so happy to see the pandan was restocked when I visited today to order the pandan milk tea. This has become one of my favorite drinks and I hope it becomes part of their regular menu. I order it with zero added sweetener. It comes with grass jelly , but I like to substitute it with honey boba. Love that without the added sweetener the drink already has a slight sweetness to it. As always all staff is very welcoming and friendly. Drinks always come out quick and delicious.

I was greeted right away and they asked if I had a phone number on file, which I did. They also asked if I wanted to use any points with my order. My order was made very quickly and the staff that assisted me was very nice and had great service! It was earlier in the morning, so the shop was very quiet and clean.

Third time coming here. I finally got a free drink for signing up for the app. So far the drinks are refreshing and "tastetea" the staff taking the order is always nice and willing to give you suggestions.

Matcha coffee boba (~$8)

Got a matcha coffee (regular sweetness) with tapioca boba (~$8ish). The boba was qq, just like it should be. This was my first time trying to matcha coffee combination, which was tasty and not overly sweet. Staff was friendly, and service was quick. There were no tables inside, so it's a grab and go joint, but there is plenty of seating outside (shared amongst the other businesses).

I've been going here since it's opened and it's definitely a great spot to go too. The menu offers a vast sea of options ranging from drinks to small bites. I've had many of their drinks and foods and they've been MOSTLY consistent. There's been some mishaps here and there, but you can't expect perfection. Service has always been consistently good, even during busy and peak hours. The staff have always been respectful and professional. There is no seating inside - it's designed to be "pick up and go" type of spot, which I totally don't mind. I'd recommend using the mobile app to order ahead of time if you want to be in and out in a hurry. Overall, definitely recommend this spot. They're good, consistent, friendly and at a great spot. They make it easy to grab a drink before (or after) you get something to eat nearby or in the Hangar.

Tastea is now my go-to smoothies and treats in Long Beach near LBCC ! Today I ordered a Regular Sized Thai Tea with Medium Sugar and crème brûlée. The egg-like taste of the crème brûlée mixed in with the sugary, refreshing Thai tea was a blend of perfection. If you are looking towards a place to cater to your sweetness, Tastea may be my recommendation to you. When I walked in, there was no seating--just make the purchase and pick up the drink to your left, finish the experiance and receive a tasty drink. They asked me to sign to the app, which I did. The staff were very informative especially towards their newer guests, which is incredible for a first greeting. To my surprise, the boba came a lot sooner than expected--I had to question for a moment how that came to be. Usually that would mean the drink is pretty fast to make. The air conditioning of the place is nice, cleanliness is comfortable. The inside is very quiet as opposed to the outside which occasionally be busy. Thank you Tastea for a chance to experience the amazing hospitality of the staff and the wonderful Thai Tea. I am hoping to come again soon if given the chance.

Clean, tidy, but small Tastea location. Service was fast, and the employee was nice. He helped me redeem my free referral drink and upgrade it with a topping easily. Drink was made really fast! Got a large strawberry milk tea with honey boba. I'd say this is just the tiniest bit too sweet, so knocking it down to a 75% would've helped, but next time. This drink probably didn't need the boba because of the strawberry bits it comes with, but it's still good with it as well. Boba was chewy and soft! It mostly tastes just like strawberry milk, but I did taste hints of tea in there, so plus for that! Solid, fast location. There's a lot of parking here, but...There's also a lot of people that come here, so you may have to drive around a bit or park further away to find a spot.

Taro Fantasy Smoothie
Peyton L.

This is kinda your regular tea/drink place. Good selection of customizable options like jellies, boba, fruit bits. The coconut matcha was extremeley sweet - definitely more coconut than matcha in there and not my favorite. Taro smoothie was also mid. The size options are essentially large or massive.

Taro Milk Tea
Sarynelli A.

One of the best taro milk teas I've ever had. Fast and friendly service, and MAJOR points for having the calories next to each drink on the menu. It's so hard to find nutrition content online for milk teas and boba, but having them on the menu is so helpful and I don't know why other shops don't do it!

Ehhh, very overrated boba shop, imo. Picked up on this place due to some social media posts I got…read moreshown by friends, but the jelly they show on top of the drinks is actually just a topping that ends up in the drink. It's...ok? 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.

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).

If I'm heading home from…read moreLong Beach, I pretty much never leave without grabbing their mango green tea and popcorn chicken. The mango green tea is refreshing, fruity, and always hits the spot, and their popcorn chicken is one of my favorites--crispy, flavorful, and so addicting. It's become a little tradition at this point! No matter what else I'm doing in Long Beach, I somehow always find my way back here before heading home. Mango green tea + popcorn chicken every time!

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!
