I have been a huge fan of Tastea for years now. Before, my friends and I would drive to Cerritos for Tastea, so we were SO excited when the Torrance location opened. Plus a drive through?! Can't get any better than that. We frequently go to Tastea, and one of the thing I appreciate is that the drinks are always consistent. The sweetness levels are consistent and the drinks always taste the same every time. My new favorite has been the horchata milk tea, usually medium sweet. I don't add toppings since it already comes with the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and the sea salt foam on top. It is delicious. It tastes like a creamy milk tea with cinnamon. Highly recommend! Some other favorites are the strawberry milk tea, or the yummy gummy smoothie. The tapioca pearls are always soft. My day is always better when I get Tastea. read more

The Avocado Avalanche Smoothie has become my new obsession, and yes, so glad that this Tastea location is so close to my in laws in the South Bay. It's the perfect treat for the drive home to the SGV after a visit... 5 stars!!!!! Tastea definitely satisfies my Avocado dessert cravings from my childhood in the Philippines. If you've never tried avocado as a dessert, give it a chance! Yes, you can't just make guacamole or toast with avocados. The Avocado Avalanche Smoothie at Tastea is a delicious yummy drink! Unfortunately, this smoothie is dependent on having a supply of avocados, and sometimes it's not available. Other delicious drinks that I consider ordering include the Chamango and Lychee Freeze Slushies as well as the Passion Attraction Fruit Tea and the Tiger Milk Tea. It will definitely take more visits to taste the many other offerings at Tastea, but so far, no drink has disappointed. Highly recommend that you download the Tastea app. Not only can you order ahead for pickup through the app, but there are always sample promotions that one can get through the app. Moreover, you can easily collect points which can give you discounts on future drinks and/or food! This Tastea location has a very small parking lot, but it does offer a drive-thru. My advice is to simply order from the app and retrieve the yummy goodness at the pick-up window. read more

Good service .. small parking lot.. to me seems a bit on the price side .. drinks are good and well sized ..

Service was very LOVELY! The lady was very respectful and kind. Also the drink is so good. I love how they remind you what sweetness level you would like. They have a Drive through which is very convenient ESPICIALLY when you have a little one! read more

Super yummy drinks for a decent price point! We tried the strawberry matcha w boba, the signature coffee, and strawberry smoothie. The coffee was absolutely divineee, they used sea salt foam and it was just chefs kiss. The strawberry matcha has big chunks of strawberry which is not the best texture wise but im sure its good to some people. The honey boba was perfect consistency. The strawberry smoothie has chunks of strawberry throughout as well which just adds a nice touch to the smoothie. Overall, its a good deal and the drinks are well made and scrumptious. Drive through was empty and quite big during early afternoon but Ive seen the line get pretty long at night time, and now I see why! read more

Appealing menu and good service but the drink tasted a bit artificial and we didn't enjoy it much.

Omg! I've been waiting forever for this drive-thru location to open up being that it's so close to my home. This was my first drive-thru boba experience lol. I gotta say, I'm into it! Being a boba fan, I have to have it at least once a week. Tastea is able to fulfill my weekly need very conveniently. No need to park and get out of the car. I can just sit back and stay in my car. Yes!! They offer an array of drinks and even bites! I love their house special coffee! It's so delicious and it gives me that "umf" I be needing lol. Their boba taste fresh and has the perfect amount of chewiness. The time I went, it was a bit slow but I think because the staff is all new and they're all still training. So be patient with them. :) read more

This tea shoppe is small but efficient. Needed my vietnamese coffee fix and stopped in. Very extensive menu. Definitely worth a try.

The tea selection is vast which can be a bit overwhelming. I asked the employee questions about flavors & sweetness, unfortunately they weren't very helpful. My mango peach tea was too sweet & the flavor was disappointing. The fries & dipping sauce were good so that was a plus There is limited seating inside & outside. The parking situation isn't the best but the good thing is the drive thru. read more

I came to Tastea yesterday afternoon for a boba and a snack. I liked the drive through. It was very convenient. I ordered a mango all the way slush (full sweetness) & the karate chicken. The wait for my items was long, keep in mind there was only one person ahead of me. The wait was for the chicken. As far as the drink goes, it was way too sweet. I foolishly underestimated the sweetness level. I probably could've gone one step down. I personally didn't like the green mango bits, & am used to the normal boba color. The green threw me off. The chicken was fresh, and it was a good serving size. I could've done without the herbs on top, and I would've liked more actual pieces of chicken vs the crunchy bits. Next time, I'll order my drink less sweet, skip on the green bits, and see if I can order different boba. read more

Really cool little tea shop. I ordered a fruit flavored green tea. Tasty!! Price was good for the $. Easy self order system inside. Some tables to sit at if you want. Did wish the self order system has area for comments to adjust order, maybe i missed it but overall easy. No one came to front when we walked in. So could not ask questions, but no big deal. Lots of flavors to choose from. Sizes and cost options are good. They even have a drive through. Over all really good option for tea. Ill be back. read more

I consider the drive thru very convenient. Never seen a Taste drive thru until I saw this. I like how they open early and have iced coffee. Great customer service. The girls were very nice read more

Tastea Torrance is finally open! They're currently in the Soft Opening stage & loyalty members can get 150 bonus points for any purchases made during the soft opening (till November 30). This location is the first ever drive thru location for Tastea too and so it makes getting boba so easy and convenient. If you don't want to go thru drive thru; you have the option of ordering via the app and going to their pick up window or going inside and ordering via their online kiosk. There are only two small tables inside. For my first visit I got the Bootea shaker that has mango, peach, pineapple and black jelly! This was one excellent drink and I thought well worth the $5.50 I paid for a 20oz. It was full of ingredients and flavor! They are so generous with the black jelly. It is definitely one of the tastiest fruit drinks I've ever had. I also got the Karate Fries (available as regular $7.89 or large $10.55). You can choose spice level and one sauce (weak sauce or ranch sauce). (Note the weak sauce is chili sauce.) I got spice level ". mild and wild" but it still had quite a kick to it. The Karate Fries were just ok and did think it was a little pricey for $7.89. I am glad I tried them but will probably just do drinks next time. I am quite happy to see Tastea now in Torrance! The wait is now over and I'm already making plans to go back very soon :). read more

Tastea - Bootea shaker + karate chicken - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Worth it! You might accidentally drive past this place because it's kind of small and not in a plaza. Tastea has a drive-thru which is super convenient. I walked inside to order and to my surprise, you order using a kiosk. No interaction with an employee. Which means they don't accept cash. They do cut down on labor costs for not having a cashier. First time here so I got two drinks. The drinks were both really sweet even though I ordered half sweet on both. Also they have a lot of caffeine. Nice interior and has a drive-thru option. It is convenient and has good milk teas here. read more

I'm so happy they opened a Tastea in Torrance, I've been hooked after visiting their locations in Long Beach and San Diego! I really love strong milk teas, and their Matcha Thai Milk tea is absolutely the best! I recommend getting it mildly sweet so you can savor the matcha flavor even more. Their tablets make it super easy to customize your drinks, and the drive thru is super convenient! I'd recommend giving them a try! read more

Great the is food very delicious too the drinks too. Please bring back the shrimp I love shrimp!

Finally! Welcome to Torrance! Tried The Unknown and Karate Chicken and they were both good. The Unknown: mango & passion fruit black tea with diced longan. Love the longan bits! Karate Chicken was crispy and flavorful. The spice level ranges from "mild but wild" to "insane. I got the "medium kick" and it perfect. Tip: Download the Tastea app for deals and offers. Currently, loyalty members receive 150 points with purchase during their soft opening from Nov 14-30. Ordering: mobile, website, drive thru, walk up window and inside the shop. I'll be back! read more

I loooove Tastea & have been getting the Bootea shaker for YEARS so I know what the drink consist of - mango, peach, pineapple and black jelly. I ordered my drink today and looked confused when received my drink because it didn't look normal.. The guy said they don't serve black jelly... there's coconut jelly in the drink... sir you're wrong but he was so adamant about the coconut jelly. Please look at my drink photo and tell me if this is the correct drink.. also by the way THERE WAS NO DAMN COCONUT JELLY in the drink! Only the tea and ice!!!! Ugh. read more

TASTEA FINALLY COMES TO TORRANCE WITH DRIVE THRU BOBA!!!! Honestly, this is a monumental occasion that I am super excited for, I love this spot, it's my favorite spot for fruit tea's and the milk tea's are also solid as well, but the fruit teas are phenomenal. I've went to this place like 5 times already in the span from their soft launch to now and it's amazing, the drinks are top-notch, the drive thru is very efficient and service is great! I've never tried the food, but my favorites are the PeachMe Sweetea. read more

Tastea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

I want to start off by saying the drive-through is so convenient! I want to try this new establishment not too long ago and I was not disappointed. You can order inside or through the drive-through and also through DoorDash. I believe they have a pretty expensive menu and you can create your own drinks but I decided to go with one of the premade selections. My mom went with the strawberry and blended with Boba and I got the Matcha Thai milk tea. Please note that the strawberry is extremely sweet if you get it at the full sweetness, but my Matcha Thai was perfectly balanced even at full sweetness. My mom was taken back by the sweetness of her drink, and the worker noticed, and instantly offered to remake it. We were so thankful for her and it was a kind gesture, and she knew automatically what the problem was. While I do think they are quite pricey, for the drinks, you are receiving, I would definitely go back to try something else on the menu. Lastly, there is no inside seating and the ambience is pretty much grab and go. read more

Ordered large karate chicken and Unknown with easy ice and no top off for timed pickup. Order was ready on time, still steaming hot fried chicken with all the proper seasonings for that authentic Taiwanese popcorn chicken flavor. The drink could have been better with a little more tea flavor/bitterness but overall a good drink. I do like how they describe the easy ice options as no top off or top off because most places don't even tell you and just water down the drinks. I am one who likes to savor my drinks so I prefer easy ice so that I don't end up with a watered down drink at the end. I will definitely be back to try more of the signature drinks they have to offer.. read more

Tastea is one of my favorite places to get boba. This location has a drive thru and a couple tables inside. This type of setting is not a great place to study because since it's so small, all you hear are the blenders. Even though it's one of my favorite places to get drinks, the service can be kind of slow. They always have their online orders service turned off and since they have a self service kiosk inside, the staff doesn't help you as much if you need napkins or have questions. They tend to stay ne stations. read more

Tastea - Menu - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

This place is super convenient because it has a drive through! Tastea is one of my favorite boba places solely for the peach me sweetea. I substitute the black tea for green tea. I usually get medium sweetness too. Only reason that I took away one star is because I feel like I haven't loved any other drinks that I've tried & the peach me sweetea has been the only drink I order here consistently. Tastea if you see this please bring back the roasted oolong milk tea :( It became my new fav order ever. I would come more often if that drink was brought back! read more

This is our go to Boba joint. I think it's because it's the only drive-through one I've ever encountered. They have a great variety of drinks with the ability to choose to nondairy milk... oat milk is the way to go since i'm lactose intolerant. I love their winter melon milk tea with Boba since I usually crave this in the evening and i need to avoid caffeine. I've also had the Matcha Thai tea as well and that's superb. The quality is consistent and it keeps me from coming back. read more

5 stars because i had excellent service from Sebastian who was super helpful and nice. The app was giving me a very hard time and was really confusing and he helped me out so much. According to the app I had a coupon that was for 1 day only and it would not work no matter when I tried as a mobile order or to order on the kiosk, he had to manually take my order to help resolve this issue. Big shoutout to him. The drinks were good as always too! read more

Very Disappointed and disturbed Tastea is absolutely my favorite location to get boba drinks. All their drinks have been really good and would never disappoint me. My ultimate favorite is their taro milk tea. There are many options on how to order your drink: sweetness level, less ice, top off, type of milk and different varieties of things that can go in your drink. Today I was absolutely disappointed in their customer service. I ordered two Thai Teas and noticed one had a hair on the inside of the lid and was touching the drink. I told the girl who handed me my drinks about the problem and instead of handing me a new one or even offering a new lid she simple pulled out the hair and handed my drink back to me. I am very disgusted in this customer service and it is discouraging to come back to my favorite location. This happened on 10/15/23 around 8:50 pm. I understand it was near closing time but that should not affect customer service. read more

After waiting 2+ years for Tastea to open in Torrance, it finally has arrived! Tastea Torrance is open and ready for business! This location has a drive-thru or you can walk-up to the window. It is in it's own space so the parking lot is specifically for Tastea customers only! There are plenty of parking spaces. It's located near the intersection of Sepulveda Blvd & Crenshaw Blvd. Tastea is a great place if you are looking to get a refreshing drink. They have a variety of different smoothies, slushies and teas. Their topping options are different bobas and jellies. My favorite is the strawberry bananza smoothie with honey boba. If you're looking for something to eat, get their karate chicken. I would recommend this place to other people! read more

I'm used to going to the Arcadia location, but they're closed now. Their website did say that they're temporarily closed. My kids and I really hope that's the case because we enjoy our evening walks to this boba shop. My kids also said that Tastea makes the best strawberry smoothie and passion fruit iced tea. My kids' favorite add-ons are crystal boba and honey boba. read more

It was my first time visiting this chain and it was a good experience. I used the drive thru and ordered a few drinks for myself and friends. I tried their matcha strawberry and really enjoyed it. My friends tried their smoothies and also loved their drinks. I would definitely visit again if I'm in the area! read more

Tastea - Matcha Strawberry - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Out of all the Tastea locations I've been to, this one is my least favorite. I went the week after their grand opening but didn't write anything at the time because I thought they would improve after a couple of months. I went again recently, and it was just marginally better. You can find them near Sepulveda and Crenshaw, where Wienerschnitzel used to be. Parking is adequate. To order, simply walk inside to use one of the tablets and then head outside to pick up your drink at the window. If you want to stay a bit longer, feel free to walk back inside where the seating area is. Tastea Torrance is unique because this is their first drive-thru location. There can be a bit of a wait depending on when you go. It's better to order ahead on their app or website: order.gotastea.com so you can just park, pick up your drinks and leave. The Classic Milk Tea and Jasmine Milk Tea were both watery. The Strawberry Milk Tea was sweet and refreshing but didn't really have any tea flavor. I did not like the green and red holiday boba at all, it was too mushy and didn't have any chew to it. Portions were pretty skimpy as well. At 70 cents a scoop, they charge a little more compared to many of their competitors and also give less at the same time. And it wasn't even tasty. My second visit was after Christmas, so it was just the regular green boba. The texture was still on the soft side but was decent this time around. Avocado Avalanche and Strawberry Sensation could have been more finely blended but I'd choose them over the milk teas. I might come back for the popcorn chicken and fries, but I'd pass on another drink. read more

New favorite boba spot in the area! Drive thru is a huge plus. The honey boba is always consistent - nice chew and doesn't get hard even after letting it sit for a while. They also make substitutions for most drinks, like switching out a black tea with white tea. The workers are always friendly and the drinks are made super quick! read more

Wow a hidden gem with a drive thru full of class. Thanks to staff Helen G and Vashti P both with awesome....wholesome communication skills! They should teach a class on drive~thru communication,.... Awesome job girls..... The shrimp the calamari the popcorn chicken taste delicious with nice a nice Classic Thai tea with Boba! If ever on the area do stop by the best think is you don't have to get out of your car and it seems cooked to when order! read more

Really cute tea house. They have many different options of tea to choose from with great flavors such as Matcha, Taro, Original Milk Tea, Thai Tea and even some fun flavors like strawberry matcha with real strawberry pieces. Quality- 5/5 Boba is very soft, fresh, chewy, and with good flavor. It's labeled as "Honey Boba" and is green. Very good and tasty! Flavor- 5/5 I had the taro, at full sweetness it is not overwhelmingly sweet. Very yummy! My husband had the OG milk tea, very delicious as well. Good milk tea flavor and we love that it is non dairy, as said in the description. Service is very friendly and very fast! The inside is very clean and the service desk is all electronic and you order through their screens. Very efficient, and comes very fast. Will definitely be back, maybe through there cool drive thru! read more

Tastea finally opened up in Torrance! Love that this location has a drive thru. Ordered the karate chicken and the peach me sweet tea. The chicken was fried to perfection, it was crispy but could have been a little spicier as we selected level 3. The peach me sweet tea was great, the perfect drink and consistent from other Tastea locations. I thought the chicken wouldn't be fresh if ordered at the drive thru but I was wrong, it was hot and crispy. The service was great, the person who took our order and served us was really nice. read more

A Matcha Strawberry that already comes with oat milk ... yes, please! The drive-thru is such a nice feature. It makes it super convenient. Especially, when I have a late night craving for a sweet drink, which has been happening quite a bit lately. I wanted to order fries, but I was informed that the kitchen closes an hour before closing, which worked out better for me. I def didn't need the extra calories, so, it was all good. I personally wasn't a fan of the drink I got, however service was 11/10. I had no issues and the person who was helping me was super kind and amazing! read more

I've been trekking down to Westminster for Tastea for nearly 15 years now, so I'm so happy they opened one here in Torrance! It was my favorite spot for fruity teas back then, and even though boba teas have upped their game in the last decade, it still is one of my favorite options for fruit teas. I especially like that their toppings include fruit chunks. I love that the Peach me Sweetie comes with peach and strawberry bits. I will add that their drinks tend to be pretty sweet, so I usually order it Lite Sweet. Their signature green boba isn't my favorite, tbh. It's usually not chewy enough (not QQ). My favorite go-to topping is the green mango bits. It comes in their Sunset Peach but I like to add it to some of my other drinks. It's a little tart and it contrasts with the rest of the flavors! Another highlight of Tastea is their snacks! Their fries and popcorn chicken are really tasty (haha) and when it's fresh out of the kitchen it's perfect! You can adjust the spice level which can really take it up a notch. I have yet to try the shrimp, which I've heard is amazing too. I usually order it via the app and pick it up. You can pick up inside or in the drive-thru. I will note that the app sometimes doesn't have some of the food items available, when it's available to order in the drive-thru. Not sure if that's because they're so new or if it's just updated. read more
