Such a disappointment. Let me start by saying the staff was friendly, the interior was clean, and the location was nice, but both the product we got and the price we paid for it was absolutely horrible. My 7-year-old son had been begging for a boba drink for like 24-hours and, while walking the surrounding shops, we saw people exiting this store with boba, so we decided to try it. I asked the clerk at the register (very specifically) what kind of boba drinks they had because my son really wanted a boba drink. The clerk listed the flavors and asked if he wanted caffeine, which was a hard no. After narrowing down options, we settled for strawberries and crème. I'm not a boba drinker and assumed we were good. I also asked for a recommendation for either their chicken bites or calamari. The clerk raved about the calamari and, when he asked about the seasoning, I asked for level 1/ mild so my son could also enjoy it. When I got the drink, we stirred it and didn't see any boba resting at the bottom. I asked the clerk if he added some and he said boba was an additional charge. I was completely stumped, like why didn't be add it to our order when I clearly told him we were ordering a boba drink. He didn't explain the extra fee at the register, which I would have gladly paid to get the drink we wanted. Literally the ENTIRE reason we went there. When the calamari came out, it was sooo bland, like zero seasoning. and it was very chewy like rubber bands. I asked for dipping sauce to try and make it more edible and it was still a struggle, but I was starving. Our snack seemed prepared from frozen and also severely overcooked. The economy is tough right now and with so many food/ drink restaurant options available, I would never go back and spend another $19.50 for a drink not made as requested and subpar/ non-fresh calamari. read more

great bolba but the oh LA LA and the yummy gummy will blow your taste buds off. I have yet to try the food but I am sure it is good. another good thing is they give you a option on how much sugar you want so if you are old like me low sugar is good read more

Ordering online using the app is super efficient and quick! I got lychee drink with boba that was super tasty and affordable for under $7 for a 20 oz boba drink! The fruit teas are always really good from here. The place was clean with not many seats indoors but plenty of seats outside by the hangar. read more

This Tastea location is at LB Exchange, a cute little shopping plaza near the LB airport! My go-to order is the tutti fruity smoothie with lychee jelly or boba. I usually order light sweet and it's just chef's kiss. Although it's a "smoothie", it's more of a slushee texture to me so it's perfect for a warm day. Service is quick and the workers were friendly. Don't forget to sign up for the Tastea rewards program to get points towards a discounted drink! Come check them out if you're in the area and looking for a sweet treat. read more

Service was great and I enjoyed the iced Vietnamese Coffee! Can't wait to go back and grab something different and add boba!

Good beverage variety, food is made to order, and I like how their little thing is green boba. It adds variation to the over saturation of boba shops we see with black tapioca, it's very brand distinct. read more

Went to Tastea and got the Sunset Peach Tea! Definitely one of my favorite teas from Tastea! The mixture of peach and black tea is very tasty and the added green mango bits was a nice touch! It was very busy when we got there but we still got our drinks relatively quickly! I think we only waited like 3-5 min which isn't bad. The staff was also very friendly. read more

Came here from OC, was on the way. Walked in and was attended by one of the girls, asked her what she recommended bc I wanted something gummy like candy drink and she said ALL OF OUR DRINKS ARE SWEET like DUH, but I wanted something really gummy/candy, she was in a bad mood, horrible customer service, I strongly believe that employees should know what to recommend, worst customer service ever lol won't ever come back. read more

I'm a sucker for Thai Tea Slush... I recently found out you can get that here or in a smoothie version, the smoothie being creamier. 10/10 recommend the smoothie version!! It's my now go to place for Thai tea slush/smoothie. My partner switched up his usual and tried the Peach Me Freezie, and that was amazingly refreshing for how hot it was outside. As always they were welcoming, they were VERY BUSY, glad to see that and they all were trying to hustle as much as possible to serve everyone. read more

For the longest time, I had mediocre feelings about Tastea. Looking back, I think it's because I only went here out of convenience and ordered something boring. Maybe I was hanging out at LBX and just wanted something to drink. Or maybe my niece wanted boba one evening and this place was nearby and still open. The staff was always helpful. I would ask for something caffeine-free and they would direct me to a Winter Melon Milk Tea which I'm fairly certain I've had more than once. I've had it light sweet with non-dairy milk (oat or almond). In all honesty, it's not a very memorable drink because one time I ordered it then had major déjà vu realizing I had the same exact convo with a different staff person about requesting no sweetness and them telling me that the lowest they can go is light sweet on this specific drink. Then one hot day while hanging out at LBX, Hubby wanted something cool and refreshing to drink. We walked in and a photo of Chamango caught my attention. This mango slushy drink also comes with chamoy and tajin. It rocked my world and I'd be happy to treat myself to this drink again. https://bit.ly/3jnmgGj Hubby ordered something fruity as well but I can't remember what it was. Looking at the photo it looks like a seasonal watermelon slushy, Watermelon Heaven. Convenient location next to RA Yoga. Lots of free parking at LBX. Even if you have to park far, it's an easy walk because there's lots to see around LBX. read more

I love this place. Easy and quick service and great quality items. I enjoyed the karaage chicken (popcorn chicken), and my boba was super tasty. It lives up to its name! My only complaint is that I wish they had their own dedicated seating, especially on those winter days when it's too cold outside to sit. read more

I was excited to try a new (to me) boba place in LBX. The area feels community-centric and fun that it's walkable to lots of shops and restaurants. Tastea is a small, cute shop. No indoor seating but you can walk outside and sit in the green space by The Hanger. Service was fast. For all the nice setting and friendly staff, I don't think I'd go again, though. The drinks themselves taste... artificial. The boba has a good texture, but we ordered a classic black milk tea with boba and a Peach Tea with boba and neither had a strong tea flavor and again just... like there was an artificial sweetener or flavor in both. So, three stars for cleanliness, location, service and boba texture... but can't give it more than that. read more

Food: the drinks at Tastea are pretty good. They have a wide variety of drinks. Unfortunately they did discontinue a couple of their drinks like the Oolong milk tea which was my favorite. The boba tends to change color based on the season/holiday but is normally green. The boba is usually cooked well and isn't over cooked or undercooked. Service: service is pretty quick and the staff are really nice. Even if there is a line I don't tend to have to wait too long. The drinks are made pretty quickly. If you order food it will take longer for them to make. Environment: there is no indoor seating but there is plenty of seating outside in the courtyard and inside the LBX hanger. It gives order and takeout vibes. Overall: I would def come back for the drinks and to chill in the courtyard area. They do have a rewards program as well. read more

I finally made it to Tastea! With the line outside the door, my expectations were high. I went with my usual Thai iced tea with boba. I mean, it was ok, nothing spectacular, nothing that made me say, "wow, that's good." They do not have any seating available, it's more like an order-and-go situation. Expect to wait outside due to the limited amount of customers allowed at a time. Parking can be a bit frustrating since there are many shops and restaurants throughout the plaza. But just be patient, and you'll find a spot. Overall, for me, Tastea is your basic boba spot offering an array of drinks with a few small bites. There is something for everyone, and you should give it a go. They are opening a drive-thru in Torrance (soon, I hope), and I might give it another try when that one opens. read more

This is my third time here. The drinks are sweet and they give a decent amount of boba. The staff are friendly and patient as you order. The first time I went, I found a spiral piece of metal in my large mango all the way drink with boba. I didn't think much of it and tossed the piece of metal in the trash. I already went home by then so I didn't bother coming back to tell them. I went again today and got a regular peach me sweet tea drink with boba. After coming home, I found a small piece of plastic inside of it (on my index finger in picture). Be careful of what's in your drink. read more

The best boba at the Long Beach "The Hanger!" I got the Vietnamese ice coffee while my friend got iced green tea. It was so refreshing during the summer heat. For context, like 85 F outside! The outdoor area is a nice space to hang out with friends. I often see family, with their children running around on the astroturf. I'm not the only fan of Tastea, there's often a line of tea enthusiast. Highly recommend read more

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL FRUIT TEA! Literally the best fruit tea I've ever had and I absolutely love it. I got the Peach Me Sweetea and it has real fruit pieces inside and it tasted great. Super refreshing! 10/10 highly recommend. This is located in Long Beach Exchange which has plenty of parking and plenty of other restaurants and dessert places as well so pretty great place to hang out with friends as well. I tried the Matcha Tea and it was also good, but I usually just stick to the peach me. I haven't tried anything else on the menu lol, that's how much I love the peach me sweetea. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. Horrible service from the staff the evening of New Year's Eve. Boy and girl working.

I had an appointment across the way and I thought I'd check this place out for a drink while I explore the surrounding areas of LBX. Bad news is my appointment ended early - way too early that this place wasn't even open yet. BUT! No biggie. It gave me the chance to do the exploring while waiting for them to open up. And then 11am hit - their opening hour - so I was back precisely at that time. Sadly, it was another few minutes before they were really open-open. I was about to give up! I've had winer melon tea at another spot, but not with non-dairy creamer or green tea. Not too thrilled about the creamer part, but I wanted to have it the way they prepare it. (I figure I can do alterations next time.) I went for the 32oz with boba. Since I was the 2nd customer, it didn't take long before I got my drink. VERDICT: Refreshing! The creamer gave it a heavier taste, but it wasn't deterring. The boba was cooked right, soft and chewy. Nothing terrible about it at all. FOOD: Well... drink. 4.5. SERVICE: 3.5. Very little interaction, but fair. VALUE: 4. Worth it! PARKING: Street and private lot. PLENTY. OVERALL: 4. I would return and do those alterations (no creamer, possibly skip the boba) next time. I look forward to that next visit. read more

I got a "Bootea Shaker" during my lunch break, and it was prepared with great care and efficiency. But before I could sit down to enjoy my drink, the drink slid off the armrest in the courtyard and the plastic cup split in half. I have never seen a plastic cup do that before. I carefully balanced the half cup with the content leaking out of it. The guy (I forgot his name) promptly got me a paper towel and my drink was replaced. It was amazing service, but I still don't recommend spilling your drink. read more

Nice place to get a refreshing beverage. I tried the Taro Fantasy smoothie and the PeachMe Freezie drink. I like how they ask how much sweetness you want, which is rare. The taro drink was good. The Peach drink was a little sweet. The portion size of the large is nice and big! It's bigger than Jamba Juice these days (but JJ used to be that big). I'd go here again if I was in the area. read more

If you need a cool refreshing drink to cool you off during those hot days, this is the place! They have really good fruity drinks that just hit the spot on a hot day. We both got the mango slushie and the peach me slushie. I've been a fan of the peach me sweetea for years since they opened the first Tastes shop and I loved the slushie version of it. And you can try their green boba which is pretty cool. This location is really great cause there's a food court and lots of stores to go shopping at in the same plaza. The staff is super friendly and since this is a small shop, They are only letting one party at a time go inside which is nice in this Covid Era. No seating inside but there's plenty of seating outside or inside the food court so don't forget to grab a drink from them if you're in the area! read more

Lol I can't remember the name but it was delightful to drink. The strawberry in the tea was on point. It was the perfect refreshment to enjoy on this beautiful day. The staff here was legit cool. They tolerated my foolery and entertained my shenanigans. That's always a plus for me. Check this place out. I think you'll enjoy it! read more

This location is inside the LBX and parking can sometimes be hard because it is a very crowded place due to many other food places being here. You can never go wrong with getting a drink here as everything is very high quality and their quality control is also impressive! They mostly use fresh ingredients meaning less drinks made from powder. My go to is always one of their fruit drinks but currently it is the Avocado drink made with fresh avocados! Super yummy and I highly recommend. Their sizes here are also very generous so if you're craving a drink you can get one here for as much as a 32 oz! They also serve fries here which you can customize which different flavors and different spice levels. It always comes out fresh and crispy, even when delivered! Lastly their service here is always nice and helpful, the employees really know their menu items so they are very insightful if you have any questions. read more

Tastea always manages to please me. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gZTUzhFbo-Ysik7HmYw3IA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Attending a free Ra Yoga class at the LBX Fitness Event, I stopped by Tastea LBX's canopy, where complimentary samples of their Peach Me sweet tea & classic milk tea were offered. After quenching my post-yoga thirst, I was gifted a voucher for a Free 20 oz stevia drink. Shopping at Whole Foods on a later date, I jaunted over to Tastea LBX to redeem the voucher. For those unaware, Tastea is a boba tea & coffee shop. What sets them apart from the competition, however, is stevia & milk alternatives are available at no extra charge! All the sweetness, without the sugar and/or bad poops. Creamers - Non-dairy creamer, whole milk, oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk Sweeteners - Sugar & stevia (full, medium, or lite) I was looking for something new, something I haven't tried, before. So, upon redeeming my voucher, I went with the Matcha Coffee. Matcha Coffee https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-h_wT9-siknxbB5W11h8dg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Best of both worlds - slow drip cold brew coffee layered with matcha green milk tea. Hitting the spot on a hot late Sunday morning, I could taste the bitter, earthy matcha concurrently with the bitter cold brew, balanced nicely with medium stevia. Service was good. I was the first customer upon opening, and I hardly waited at all for my drink. Currently, there is no indoor seating available, but being how Tastea LBX is located in front of the Long Beach Hanger, there are many places to sit & take a load off. Tastea does it again! While I frequent the Artesia location (along with it's sister company, Bite Mi Asian Kitchen Artesia), I wouldn't hesitate to visit Tastea LBX when I'm in the area. Especially if I have a BOGO promo on the Tastea app, which happens fairly regularly. Now, if only Tastea offered monkfruit sweetener, too.........(hint, hint) https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=YbxTodMDqrQar4kbNJ5bTA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA read more

Went here last night for my boba fix. It's a super cute location with lots to do in the area. I wasn't sure what to get but the super nice cashier Brian helped me eventually settle on the jasmine milk tea, which according to them uses non-dairy creamer (score for all the lactose intolerant peeps ). The order came out really fast and was the perfect level of sweetness. The tea flavor also really comes through. I also got an order of their bhudda fries and they're super crispy and addictive. Their batter is definitely unique and I haven't tried anything like it before. Would definitely come back here again to try more read more

This place is a scam. A few weeks back, there was a promotion on Facebook to get a bogo coupon. After clicking on the promo, a email was sent to me stating the promo is good until 6/30/24 but that I shouldn't click on the redeem until I'm close to the store. Today when I arrived to the LBX location, I clicked redeem and it gave me another email with a time stating that I only had 1 hour to redeem it by showing the email to staff. I showed staff the email but the staff member stated that the promo ended last week. I asked the staff if they are the LBX location which he said he was. Even though the email is from the LBX team, he stated he couldn't accept. Sounds to me like a scam tactic of bate and switch to get people to come into the store. Will NEVER go to this place again!! read more

Tastea - Strawberry milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

There's so many good places to eat/grab a drink at Long Beach Exchange... don't bother with this one. I ordered both a regular and large karate chicken and with a difference of $3.70 ($11.50-$7.80) I was disappointed by the negligible difference in amount. I'm attaching I found of Tastea's website showing what any reasonable customer would assume to be their two sizes. I'm aware that there's always going to be a difference in staged photos used for advertising and the actual product, but the boxes aren't even the same. What was worse than the size difference was the amount of chicken I received in the regular box. I had more crumbs than actual chicken pieces, there was no point in even giving us 3 servings of sauces cause we barely used up 1. The chicken was also dry. Ordered the bootea shaker, taro smoothie, and taro milk tea. They were all fine. read more

So I normally wouldn't come here since I'm not into super sweet fruity teas but a friend wanted to meet up here so I agreed. There was a bit of a line but it moved quickly. It was a little loud with the blenders going but it's been getting warmer so I get it. Really just standing room inside the store. They don't have a designated seating area. You just walk around LBX and look for a spot. Anyway, I wasn't sure what to order but I saw that my friend got her drink in 32oz so I got the same thing. It must be good since for someone to opt into 32 oz size. It was just like jaw drop, I cannot believe they have 32oz available. Just pure disbelief. We both got strawberry milk tea sub almond milk. They now allow you to adjust sweetness and ice levels and this is a total game changer. I got mine lite sweet which was perfect for the not too sweet crowd. Just brought to enjoy but not so overwhelming you need to water it down. She got hers with stevia which is not an option you really see at boba tea places. I might try that next time. Yes there will be a next time. Tastea Long Beach has won me over with the ability to adjust sweetness level. read more
