The drinks here and fries are not too bad, but the people working there can be so rude! We ordered online today and waited so that others at the pick up window would check in and move out of the way, but as we approached the window, one of the employees said, "you need to check in with us to get your order." Normally that wouldn't be so bad, but she put her rude girl pants on today and was super passive aggressive with giving us our order. To be clear, we didn't speak much at all, so the interaction was all on her. She pushed our bag out the tiny window crunching everything in it. Then she passed us our drinks. We asked for straws and she rolled her eyes and then yelled for their next customer "Cody." I hope Cody had better service, but this girl was rude to us. read more

Tastea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

I really do love the drinks they have here and especially love the Yummy Gummy smoothie! The other day I tried the fried shrimp for the first time and they were freshly fried and came with a sweet chili dipping sauce, Sooo good. Only thing that's not so great is the fact that the drive thru takes 7-10 business days to get you through so if you have time to kill it shouldn't be a problem. However, the staff are friendly and the app is helpful to use and you get great rewards. read more

The only local boba place that has a drive-thru so you can get your fix without ever leaving your car. The classic milk tea is alright, and smoothies like the Strawberry Sensation are good when you don't want caffeination. You can also get jugs for a group, and fruity teas like The Unknown are bound to please a crowd. Just remember to ask for a lower level of sweetness - they, like every boba place, tbh, have a heavy hand with the sugar. If you like toppings, they have a ton. All sorts of fruit bits, plus the standard jellies and pearls. If you love adding texture to your drinks, this is where you let your imagination run wild. They also make fried finger foods. Calamari is fun, and the Fries come with a surprisingly addictive seasoning. Not something you'd think to order but it's nice to have something to nibble on while you drink. Really fun place. There's always a bit of a wait at the the drive thru, but that just tells you how popular they are. read more

We came here after our new year dinner and we were a large party but they were so accommodating. The drinks were wonderful and the service was great even they were were VERY busy. The staff is extremely friendly as well. Parking is ample. read more

Tastea - Strawberry tea and The Unknown - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Located off Sepulveda Bl in Torrance. I have seen this place up and built quite a while ago and found out it recently soft opened. So I decided to stop by. The parking is small and has a drive thru. Upon entering the place it's a very small area with three small tables and two kiosk type stations to place your order. It was pretty easy to navigate and the staff was helpful when needed. I got the sunset peach tea it was good. Overall a good place for teas, or smoothies. read more

The drinks are absolutely amazing . The people who work here are wearing headphones snd can't hear you . I'm not sure if you always have to place your order through the kiosk but they told me they don't take cash , the machine was out of paper and i needed a receipt but he couldn't hear me . Frustrating with the service . It's been bad twice . read more

decided to stop by and try out the new shop in the neighborhood. very cute atmosphere. the service is quick. I placed my order and not even 5 minutes passed and I received my coffee. read more

Tastea - House Special Coffee - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Located in there own building. With a drive thru. Which is always convenient. I ordered the matcha milk tea. And an order of karate chicken. Level 3 spice with some ranch on the side. The staff were very friendly, I opted to go through the drive thru as I was in a rush. Didn't wait too long, around 10 minutes, which is understandable considering they are a new place and working out the kinks. The matcha milk tea was very delicious and the karate chicken was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, the spice level as perfect not too spicy. Highly recommended. read more

Tastea has become my new go-to boba spot in the South Bay! I was thrilled when I found out they finally were opening in Torrance since I used to drive all the way to Cerritos or Long Beach to go. I love the convenience of the drive thru at this location but the inside is fairly small and there are only a couple tables and chairs inside. I usually will order online through their app which I highly recommend so you can receive points! I also really like their rewards system because you can get free items (food and drinks). The service is usually good, not taking forever and the workers are usually very helpful! Even when it gets busy and the drive thru has a long line they are usually apologetic about the wait. I also like a variety of their drinks so I am able to switch up my order and never get tired of it! My top favorites are the Jasmine milk tea, Peach me sweat tea, and Passion attraction. I also really like their slushies like the Peach me freezie and Mango all the way! Their popcorn chicken and fries are also so good! I love the seasoning they use for the fries and you also get a sauce with the food orders, I usually get ranch or their version of a sweet chili sauce (weak sauce). You can also choose the spice level for the chicken and the fries have the option to choose a flavor now! I usually get mild for the chicken and original flavor for the fries. I love going here because 9/10, I am extremely satisfied. I appreciate the consistency! read more

I've always wished there was a drive thru boba place, and finally there is one! Got the horchata milk tea, which tasted like the milk at the end of a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Highly recommend. Also, the honey boba was perfectly chewy. It's small inside, so not really a place to hang out. But the service is quick and friendly. read more

I usually stop by this Tastea when I'm in the area because of their drive thru being quick and efficient. Well today I came at night and was disturbed when I had found two pieces of some type of cereal in the bottom of my drink. I ordered the Seafoam Jasmine with Crystal boba. This has to be a violation of some health standards. I see their manager is apologizing for other poor reviews which I understand, but I don't see how this is even possible. I came here at February 20th late after dinner. read more

Tastea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

So happy that a Tastea finally opened up in the South Bay, specifically Torrance! It's also the first drive-thru location, next to the plaza with Coco Ichibanya. You can order inside, at the drive-thru, or through mobile order. There are parking spaces available and a little bit of seating inside. I always do mobile order and tell them my name at the speaker and they tell me to pull up to the window. Tastea's speciality is their specialteas, my favorite is the Passion Attraction. I have also tried their milk tea and it is good too. Their honey boba is green and during the holidays it's red and green :) I love that they offer free samples of new drinks they have through their app, so far I have redeemed offers for stevia bootea shaker, hot Thai milk tea, hot matcha milk tea, & stevia peach me sweetea. It comes in a cute little cup. It's great that they also offer stevia if you want a substitute for sugar. The customer service is always great. Tastea is one of my favorite boba places in the South Bay and so convenient compared to driving to Gardena. read more

I just got home and needed to write a review right away.

Will not coming back here read more

Torrance Tastea location has drive thru. It's super convenient! I usually order from the app for pick up. It's also convenient too. I always order classic milk tea, med sweet, with sea foam topping. It's always good. The prices are more reasonable than other bubble tea spots too. This location is so close to home. I can walk here! I'd like to try their food next time I visit. read more

The only boba place out here with a drive thru. Quick service. I love how their drinks are actually light sweet. Personal favorite Tiger milk tea ! read more

Tastea - Tiger Milk Tea 32 ounce - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

I was excited to have stumbled across this Tastea while in the area. You order at the kiosk and pick up outside at the window or order drive through. Service was quick and friendly. There's some indoor seating. I tried their bootea shaker. Super refreshing, the grass jelly alternative to boba paired so well. I really appreciate the stevia and non dairy milk options. Overall, always happy to pick up a drink a Tastea and glad they have another location. Love the consistency between stores! read more

This place likes to close 15-20 minutes earlier than the closing time is so just an FYI.

I love their fries and popcorn chicken. I'm not a big fan of their drinks however I go just for the popcorn chicken with ranch

I was so excited to see a Tastea open nearby but the experience at this one leaves a lot to be desired. The flow is super weird, the self order computer system is confusing when trying to redeem pts, and staff need to be trained better - the one I interacted with was curt and unfriendly. The drive-thru was closed when I went by..isn't that the whole point of this place? So on a rare day when it was raining, I had to park and walk through the rain into the tiny stand. Then after you order, if you picked "takeout" it tells you to go to the "pickup window" which is outside. Why is the pickup window outside and so far from where you order? Makes no sense. The food is relatively good, which is why I'm giving 3 stars. The drinks tend to be too sweet. Oh, and for the "weak sauce" they give you cheap looking sweet and sour packets instead of ones in the dipping containers that I'm used to getting at other Tastea locations. I hope they figure out their operational kinks and open up the drive-thru! read more

Love the drink options definitely will come back! They were helpful and friendly for my first time here and the shrimp was good too. read more

I've came back a few times after my first time. l've been getting pretty good experiences ever since. Also thanks to their superb customer service who have reached out!

Tastea - make sure you check your drinks, didn't get any boba in my drink - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Visited this location last night and they didn't quite get the order correct. I got 2 of my 3 drinks I ordered correct. The one they missed on was my 32oz mango all the way. First they gave me a 20oz. I told them I ordered the large size so they took it back and then made a 32oz. Then after waiting I got the 32oz but what i didn't notice until I got home that it had no honey boba in it that I ordered. I didn't really notice because of the green mango bits since it was late a night. So frustrating. They were pretty busy at the time with the drive thru and pickups. I'll be sure to check everything next time before leaving. Another thing is there kitchen closes one hour before but the kiosk still lets you order food. They put a sticky note up on the screen but no one reads it. I'm not sure why they can't just update their point of sale to show food not available or out of stock when the kitchen closes. Maybe still working kinks out with no front of house staff. read more

Tastea - No honey boba to be found - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

i love the taste of the food and drinks here! it used to be of my favorite boba places. that being said, nearly every time i come here they get my order wrong. maybe its bc they can never hear us through the machines? also my drinks are never consistent--sometimes it's way too sweet and other times it's so bland. i'm not sure if it's due to new staff or lack of training but it makes me hesitant to continue coming here. read more

This Tastea location has a drive-thru, indoor seating, as well as a small parking lot. The Interior is small and ideal for small groups. I ordered the lychee peachee it was refreshing and sweet and the staff was quick with service. read more

For the longest time, I was driving all the way to Long Beach to go to Tastea until I found out they were making a drive through Tastea in Torrance! I highly recommend going to Tastea as they have such a well rounded variety of drinks from slushes to teas and even smoothies! The service is fairly quick but if you are in a rush I highly recommend you preorder through app since your drink will be ready for you once you arrive. If you decide to order inside you order through a kiosk but we found out that the drive through was a little faster than going inside and using the kiosk. If you like fruity smoothies, I highly recommending trying the strawberry sensation or the Yummy Gummy. I normally get boba and medium sweetness. I highly recommend this place! read more

Tastea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Yum yum especially the Thai tea with boba (regular) ... and this place has a drive thru ... yippee!! The service is nice as well.

My colleague had told me about Tastea while they were under construction. As soon they opened I went to try them out. Located on Sepulveda Blvd with a drive thru! They do have a small parking lot with a window to order from as well. I get the Peach Tea with jelly. My daughter loves their smoothies. Also try the chicken and Shrimp! Seasoned super delicious!! read more

Tastea - Peach Me Sweetea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

First visit & got charged for someone else's order. When I went back to return the drink & get a refund, they said I drove off before they could show that the refund had already been issued. Yeah??? It's a drive-thru??? I left the drink there. Embarrassing that y'all took my name for the order and read it back to me twice including the total and still messed up. Apparently I'll see the refund in 3-5 days. OH they refunded the extra charge for items that were not mine but still charged me for my drink that I returned to the store without drinking. read more

Out of the boba places in Torrance, Tastea gives the least amount of Boba. I usually run out of boba by the fourth sip. Get the large and it's out of boba even faster. Is Bob's expensive or something. Share Tea down the street is much more generous, even Ding Tea can muster up more boba compared to Tastea. Get it together Tastea. I want to pick you for your drive thru alone, but you guys are falling short. read more

Don't even bother coming here anymore. Drive thru is ALWAYS closed, as early as 8:00pm on a weekday. They expect you to order inside their tiny office cubicle sized store which is usually crammed with people inside ordering or waiting for their orders. Oh, and to top it all off they do not accept cash although the drive thru does (if it's even open)... The amount of hula hoops this place makes you jump through is not worth it. read more

I online ordered 3 drinks at 8:07 for an 8:30 pick up. It's 8:51 right now and we're still waiting... I don't know, I don't think it's takes almost an hour to make 3 drinks? We got a Thai milk tea, milk tea and peach me sweet tea with no toppings or anything. Really disappointed because I never had this issue at any other Tastea's except here. There's people that were waiting inside before we got here that still look like they haven't gotten their drinks. Are the drive thru getting priority first? WHATS THE POINT OF ORDERING AHEAD WHEN OTHER PEOPLE GET PRIORITY??! This is my second time here too. The first time I was here was on New Years and I did get my order a lot faster, but I was waiting outside the pick up window for a few minutes before anyone even came by to help... I'm not sure if it makes me want to come back cause I love Tastea. Maybe I'll try again in a few months but I don't think I'll be coming back for a while. read more

It may be best to order on the app and wait outside. The drive through lines are long, so I decided to go in to order. Well I had a hard time with the kiosk. Every worker's attention was on the drive thru so even though I called for someone, no one heard me. I HAD TO CALL THE PLACE FOR SOMEONE TO HELP ME! Seriously, no joke! I waved down a worker and he said "i have to answer the phone." I had to tell him that I WAS CALLING! Anyways- despite the service, the drinks were very good. I would return, but not use the kiosk. The area inside is small, probably seats 6 people, but it is clean and so is the restroom. read more

ordered through uber eats and everything was sooo good , especially the taro milk tea . it was surprisingly thicker than other taro flavors i've had but i kinda liked it . i feel like i got boba in every sip too ! the only downside was the shrimp sauce , it tasted kinda like a sweet chili/ketchup ? i was hoping that it would be more like a cocktail . besides that , everything was super yummy and i'll definitely be ordering again :) ! read more

Tastea - Taro Milk Teas Cap'n Shrimpie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Torrance, California

Every time i come here, there is always some kind of issue that upsets me and makes me think, never again, but yet, here i am, naive to think that they will have improved since it's been some time. Placed an online order via app, arrived to see a worker on the phone outside but rush in once she saw us. (There weren't any other customers.) we thought that our orders would be ready soon as she had hurriedly rushed in, but we waited another 15 minutes or so. After what seemed like an eternity, the staff opened the window and gave us and another party our drinks, but as i asked about my food items, she had abruptly shut the window. I did not want to be rude as they appeared to be busier, so i waited patiently. When i finally got the attention of the staff, she finally handed me my food, but had the audacity to say,"next time, ring the bell." The lack of attentiveness and courtesy was baffling. I regret paying tip. Undeserving! read more

I'm so happy this Tastea is finally open! And bonus points for it being a drive thru. I have been waiting for a drive thru boba spot to open and it's finally here. I will admit they still have some kinks to work out since it is still in the soft opening phase but please be patient as their staff is super friendly and trying their best! My gfs go to drink is the Bootea Shaker which has mango, peach, pineapple tea with black jelly. I still have yet to settle on a favorite as I lam torn between the Peach Me Sweetea and Lychee Peachee. Give me some time and I'll def get back to you on my all time favorite. For something yummy to snack on they have Buttload'a Fries and Karate Chicken (fried popcorn chicken) both of which you can customize the spice level 1-5. Both taste great but I will say the fries aren't just as good here as the other locations. This has been my go to boba spot since they opened! Make sure to stop by as they won't disappoint! read more

This review is for the Torrance location only. I have been to many Tastea places and this location has the worst customer service and they can't not fulfill your order right. MUST CHECK YOUR DRINKS before leaving!! I gave them the benefit of the doubt because they just opened and we need a good boba location in Torrance, however having 3 horrible experiences with them is quite enough. 1st experience was a drive thru and I ordered the hot Tiger Milk Tea which comes with the crème brûlée. The worker on the intercom asked if I wanted extra add-ons and I said no. Well, needless to say, my drink also did not have the crème brûlée it's suppose to come with. There was another time where I purchased an add-on and they did not add it. Luckily, I caught that one! Can't miss the non-existing green boba at the bottom of the drink. 2nd experience was also a drive thru, I wanted to redeem my $2.50 off instead of the free tiny sample of the Thai milk tea, but the worker made a mistake and couldn't take it off without a manager approval. The guy in the blue shirt came (manager?) and said the free drink is worth $3.75, so it's a better value and I should get the free sample instead. How is a FREE sample worth $3.75? It literally says "No cash value" at the bottom of the voucher. He was not nice about having to redo whatever it was on the computer and just walked away. 3rd experience, I decided no more drive thru and order online then pickup instead for better accuracy. My husband picked up the drinks, came home, and said his drink is only half full. He did not drink anything. He wasn't sure if they had given him a large cup and just filled it accordingly. Well, we decided to measure the content, because I had ordered a 16oz and the whole drink was only 9oz. Where is the rest? What an odd issue... Very disappointed with this location. read more
