50 Best Bubble Tea near Artesia

“Ok, this is now my favorite boba tea place. The Ube Coconut milk is insanely good, even at 30% sugar level. They did not have purple rice so I substituted agar, which is so good. I also got an order of unsweetened jasmine tea and double agar. The price is right and the taste is to beat.

5/25/26: Ordered the Avocado on Mango at 30% sugar today, not the best. I'll stick with the Ube Coconut.“

“Love all the bopomofo cafes, I have to go every time I visit SoCal and every friend / family member Ive brought loves it, they use the freshest ingredients and have cool seasonal items like a scallion pancake wrapped chicken supreme wrap, guava matcha. You cant go wrong with the pineapple chicken sandwich, the strawberry corn drink, the shrimp walnut sandwich, etc. I love this place so much, the chicken is always very juicy. The employees are so nice and this place has wifi and a nice work space. Its also nice for dates and has a chill vibe (saw some people having their first dates here)“

“Cocoa cream wow 🤤 es delicioso 😋“

“This was a surprise discovery and we are so happy to know this is here! Food is quick, well presented and delcious. The green onion pancake is excellent - thin, flaky and great flavor. Prices are reasonable. Friendly service. We had both the oolong and chrysanthemum teas and they are refreshing. There is indoor seating (about 5 tables). Authentic Taiwanese food.“

“foods are amazing“

“I came in on 12/27 around 2pm and there were 2 guys working ( Anthony and someone else I didn't catch his name tag)They were dealing with a crazy customer who was yelling at them, talking down at them over a small upcharge they didn't want to pay for. They took care of the rest of us in line while still handling her which I really appreciate. They didn't deserve that treatment and still kept a smile on their face. They kept a good attitude despite someone being rude and entitled!“

“Saw the ad on Facebook and coincidentally found the place today. I ordered the pineapple and strawberry drink which had yakult in it. It was such a pretty drink and very enjoyable. Fast service!“

“My go-to boba spot! This Lollicup location is hands down my favorite. Their drinks are always consistent, and I never leave without ordering the popcorn chicken, it’s a must. The staff is super friendly and quick, making the whole experience even better. 10/10 recommend the milk tea with boba!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Their Matcha is something I have a craving for almost every week! Mom also loved it and my sis showed me this place. 10/10 the owner is the kindest and works very hard. (Did I mention they have a massage chair for waiting)“

“The spot is super cute and the gal who made my tea was so friendly and helpful. Quick too I swear she made my drink in like a minute. I got the matcha blueberry latte slightly less sweet with oat milk instead of dairy and with boba. It's really good matcha and the blueberry is a sweet pairing for it. 🫐 There was plenty of parking and plenty of seating inside. They have some cute t-shirts and bags and claw machines which is fun and a sweet little photo op but this looks like a nice place to hang out for a bit with your matcha and get some work done. I will definitely be back.“

“I've tried the Fluffy Matcha Milk Tea and Aiyu Honey Lemon Tea. Both drinks were delicious and the sweetness was just right to my taste. Highly recommend!! <3“

“Loved the homemade ice cream and cookies! The attendant was super sweet as well. Highly recommend this place.“

“The staff was really rude, it was a guy in the back just ignoring the fact I had just got there to order... and didn't even greet or anything just stared and continued to do whatever he was doing.. wait for about 20mins before leaving.. I even had eye contact with him😒😒“

“The drinks are real tasty and the boba is freshly made not like other boba locations where it tastes weird with a weird texture. I got the tiger sugar milk tea and peach mango drink both with boba and they taste amazing!! The worker here is very nice and greets you with a smile. She’s like a nice mom or grandma:)“

“They are awesome and even had us try different samples. Made our group feel so welcomed when we came here the very 1st time. We will definitely keep coming back when we are in this area.“

“This was my first visit to this Meet Up Boba location, (I had previously only gone to their location by Long Beach Poly), after my wife and I drove by it, looking for some quick snacks. Thankfully, similar to their other locale, the variety available to order is quite extensive. And all very tasty and satisfying. For this visit here, I ordered the horchata shake while my wife ordered the peach and black tea. We then paired those drinks with an order of their crunchy chicken. The drinks were exquisite and the chicken was crunchy, delicious, and filling. While this locale is a bit farther for us than the locale by Poly, it's good to know that the quality of the drinks, food, and service are uniform across both locations.“

“Went to this place and was surprised at how clean and organized the place was. Staff was friendly and made the drinks super fast. I got the Peace Lychee drink with Boba and it tasted amazing. The boba was soft and chewy (in a good way). I went to other places and the boba was not good at all.

Overall this place is a great place to get your boba kick, the price was VERY reasonable. Would recommend!“

“Excellent milk teas and snappy service. My discount coupon was lost but they gave it to me anyway. kudos“

“We had Boba Bee cater our 110 people wedding in August of 2025. They were very responsive to our emails to our concerns and we were able to sample a bunch of teas at their location. They were able to adjust the sugar level to our preference on all the drinks. They did all the set up themselves and had the best price around Los Angeles. Their fruit teas and strawberry milk [for the people who can't do caffine] were very popular and they made sure we had one on our wedding day. I recommend the Tropical Fruit Tea and the Thai Twist!“

“If I hadn’t parked to walk over to Lux Spa, I probably would’ve never noticed there’s a Happy Lemon in the same plaza.

We kept it simple and ordered the E3 Lemon Aloe Yakult ($6) and E1 Green Tea Yakult ($6). I make lemon and green tea Yakult drinks at home sometimes, but somehow the ones from a shop just taste better. It honestly brought me right back to the drink stands in Taiwan. Same nostalgic flavor. I guess I just don’t buy boba and specialty drinks that often anymore because there are way too many new Asian chains opening in the U.S., and I can’t keep up.

They’re actually known for their salted cheese foam drinks and egg waffles. If we hadn’t just eaten, I definitely would’ve added one.

Service was quick and the staff was friendly. I think I just found my go-to spot when I’m craving an authentic Taiwan-style drink.

“We mostly order the matcha storm in this location. But I personally love it. So far one of the best matcha within OC . Especially with the pudding its very nice. My kid loves the strawberry milk tea too. The spot is not too crowded and a lot of parking. They also have lots of promos so dont forget to signup.“

“I’ve been here a couple times and Jason is a real stand up guy who is very friendly and courteous. His shop is clean and he’s got tons of choices! It takes awhile just to figure out what you want out of all the choices. The location is in a shopping center I go to for other things so it is in a convenient location for me. Will keep coming!“

“Ambrosia Tea is easily one of the best boba spots I’ve been to. The shop is super clean, which already sets it apart, and the overall vibe is really welcoming.

One of the coolest parts is the claw machines, they’re actually winnable. I ended up winning on my second try, which never happens, so that alone made the experience memorable.

The Thai tea was excellent, really authentic and true to how it should taste, not overly sweet or watered down like some places. You can tell they care about quality.

Also, a huge plus, they let me split my drink, which is something not every shop is willing to do. Small detail, but it makes a difference.

Overall, great drinks, fun atmosphere, and solid service. Definitely coming back.“

“It was really nice place and had great food! Enjoyed my time there as well!“

“Great boba! I ordered the Brown Sugar Matcha and one of their signatures, the Hokkaido Milk Tea... The matcha was delicious and the brown sugar was a nice subtle twist! The hokkaido milk tea was a bit sweet for me but otherwise very enjoyable. In the end, I think the matcha was my favorite“

“Nice vibes…………………..!!!!!!!“

“On the way home so stop by this place to try it out. So impressed by the Teapresso, the aroma of the shop, the act of brewing one cup at a time. Definitely worth the money! The cup is full of tea and boba, just light ice and perfect amount of sugar! Will come back whenever I’m in OC.“

“I came here twice now, and it's been fantastic. The passion fruit cane was delicious, as was my coconut milk tea. Not too sweet as requested. And now, my matcha latte was very refreshing. Service was great! The store owners were very friendly and helpful, explaining some items I wasn't familiar with. Overall great experience, and I'll be coming back for everything else on the menu ^^“

“Very delicious drink, my family really love brown sugar boba milk and classic milk tea here“

“This is my favorite go-to boba spot. The owner is very friendly, and most importantly, the boba is always fresh because it’s carefully managed by the owner. They’re generous with the fruit, and you can really feel their genuine passion for boba.
I’ve moved to a different area so I can’t come as often, but whenever I’m nearby, this is always a place I make sure to stop by.“

“1. The drinks were well-crafted! My favorite is the strawberry ecstasy!
2. The spot has fun casual vibes! Interior is cozy!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready in less than 10 mins!
Note: I do not remember seeing a restroom available for customers!

“butter cookie coffee 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀“

“We recently ordered two boba drinks from Bobuzz, including their signature “PMC” with boba and “The Dark White.” While the overall flavor of the drinks was comparable to other quality boba shops, the tapioca pearls (“boba”) were unfortunately undercooked, which detracted from the experience. Additionally, offering customers the option to customize the sweetness level would be a welcome improvement. While there is potential, the overall experience left us with mixed feelings. Personally, it wouldn’t be my first choice for a dessert stop after a pleasant meal, at least not for now.“

“Saw the ad on Facebook and coincidentally found the place today. I ordered the pineapple and strawberry drink which had yakult in it. It was such a pretty drink and very enjoyable. Fast service!“

“I did not order any drinks for myself but my son and spouse did and they were delicious. It wasn't crowded but there are limited seats. Cute things to buy I dislike those labubu sure you can get one here. I rather buy and did a small cute Keychain adorable Monchichi in a cosplay outfit. (Tom** and Jerry)“

“Plenty of parking in a big parking lot. Clean, spacious and cool vibe. I was there early when they just opened and mid afternoon so only one or two folks there enjoying drinks and waffles. Great, friendly service for sure. The place is cute and very selfies for sure with every corner or wall with different unique setup. The drinks are good, nothing special about it but just good. They do have table and chairs outside too.“

“I had the bugolgi rice bowl and it was so delicious. I love all the veggies they add to it. Portions are good too which is nice. Way better than waba grill or other similar places. Definitely worth coming back. I will be trying more items on the menu!“

“The Earl Grey milk tea with boba is the best!!! 😍“

“Excellent milk teas and snappy service. My discount coupon was lost but they gave it to me anyway. kudos“

“Very good drink- to my expected- Flavorful and not too sweet! I’m not a big fan of boba/milk tea in general, but I think I’m starting to liking it. Thanks chị Ivy @Cha2cha ❤️❤️❤️“

“My favorite place for kumquat lemon iced tea with crystal boba. I love the vibe when you walk in is very peaceful and relaxing. They also use fresh fruits so you can taste it instead of too much syrup. Would recommend !“

“This is the place you want to go to if you want a boba. There’s So many options. Although, there is many options , I always get the same thing lol. I’ve been going there since 2017!
All the girls that work there are AMAZING and lovely !!! Alyssa is sincerely the best! As soon as she sees me walk in , she knows my order and is already making my order lol. The other girls know what I like as well lol. Now for the two guys that work there , they are honestly rude from time to time ,not always friendly nor welcoming. I feel a huge tension when they are there. The girls are what makes that place feel warm and nice and enjoyable. They deserve extra tips and a raise! 🖤🫶🏼🖤“

“The atmosphere when walking into Gong cha was surprisingly very pleasing and comfortable. There is plenty of sitting and music to enjoy the wait and your day if needed whenever. Alought the quality of the Boba drink(Brown sugar milk tea)was amazingly sweet and blanace to my liking 10/10. Plus side the employees were friendly and welcoming.

BOUNS: there is popmart items you could buy such as labubus,skull pandas, angel babys, and etc..( besides that totally recommended spot) 10/10
(Times visited 7-10pm 11-11:40)“

And the Mochi donut I got was a butterfly I don’t know what’s it called but I got that donut and it’s so good!! I would definitely come back here (≧◡≦) 🧋“

“Had the Banh mi and a Coke. What a great deal! The bm was really good and I got a small cup of ice with my canned Coke, this was a nice touch. Bm was long and thinner baguette style. For the price this was a really good deal. I def will come back to try the trays.“

“1st time, but not the last!“

“I went with my kids today. They have the cutest containers for the bobas. I got a milk carton and my daughter got a kitty. So cute!“

“it was my first time & it was amazing“

“I went to Tapioca Express in Alhambra on Monday the 15th around noon. I ordered a Thai Tea, which is personally my favorite! I usually order Thai Tea ever where I go because I can't get enough. Haha, The two people that were helping me were Jo and Steve or Steven, I didn't quite hear the other employee name but it's somewhere along those lines. They were super nice! Right when I walked in, I was greeted with "Welcome to Tapioca Express!" It made me feel very welcomed, which is a feeling everybody should feel when they walk into a store. Since I always order Thai Tea, I just wanted to take a look at the menu and see what other options they had. They offered me other drinks but I had to stay with my usual. I liked how they were so patient with me. The Thai Tea tasted amazing! The sugar was just perfect! I will be coming back! Thank you for being patient and having a great customer service!“

“muy buena atencion muy amables“
