50 Best Bubble Tea near Culver City

“I’ve visited all their locations in San Francisco. We were in the area and had a craving for boba. It’s a tiny location with no indoor seating; however, there are lots of seats in the plaza outside. The bathrooms are only a few stores down too. Great to be able to use the loyalty program in SoCal. Go Andrew!!!“

“Delicious, friendly and reasonable price. strongly recommended.“

“So good!!! Amazing. Love the food. The bok choy pot stickers OOOF! The best. 💜💜💜👑👑👑🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽💞💞💞💝💝👨‍❤️‍👨🧡“

“Customer Service 5/5 Food / Snack 5/5 -generous serving Boba- 5/5 Travelled from Adelaide,SA to LA and will come back for it again.“

“On a whim, a friend and I stopped here thinking that they actually had chai tea or something and related to chai. But it turns out that it's quite the opposite, but still enjoyed the creme brulee latte iced that I had very well recommended I cannot remember the attendant name that helped me order it, but thank you very much for your recommendation and highly recommend the house milk. 😋“

“Hands down the best milk tea shop in all of Westwood. The drinks are unmatched, and the owners are some of the nicest people you will ever meet!

I come here at least once a week and have tried pretty much everything on the menu. Every drink has been amazing. The matcha is so good It actually got me into drinking matcha, which I never expected.

10/10. A must try if you are in the area!“

“best Boba and coffee beverages!! not super sweet... staff always friendly and the shop is beyond immaculate“

“I loved the citrus tea.. it was delicious.“

“Our first impression of this place was a good one. I yelped this place after our dinner down the street. One con to this place is parking sucks. We had to park across the street at the grocery store and walked across the street. You can order online or at the store on a screen. Very minimal interaction with a person. The only time you see someone is when they're putting together your order. We ordered the horchata cheesecake, chocolate chip bread pudding, and a apple tart. The cheesecake was really good but the crust needs to be thicker to help balance out the sweetness. The bread pudding is also a recommendation, if you take it to go the person recommended to microwave it for 45 seconds or in our case, we used our oven toaster for 4 mins. This place closes at midnight so a good place to go to for your sweet tooth especially late night munchies.“

“This place has a good thing going. A higher-tier boba joint (a la Orobae) where the flavor of the tea really comes through, not just milk and sugar! And the silky boba is just so fun and distinctive. I recommend getting the jasmine flavor unless you know you like wintermelon (which to me is great, but isn't for everyone.)

[June 2025] I decided to try their coffee today and am pleased to say that they also make a pretty nice einspanner (Viennese latte)! It is not quite as memorable as the one at e.g. Mandarin in Pasadena, but it certainly hit the spot. They have a nice recipe for the foam -- pleasant texture and sweet/salty balance. A good value too at $5.50.“

“Amazing Concept of collectibles and Fashion with boba! Truly one of a kind, and there drinks are delicious.“

“EXTRA SPICY IS EXTRA SPICY. Please be careful. Also beware of boba pearls clumping together if you don't move it around enough. Great strong tea flavor, great+fast service, chicken is crispy. Clean bathrooms.

Update: Staff was extraordinarily kind to give me ice water when I was dying from spice.“

“I had seen the rave reviews on social media so I went into this place a bit of a skeptic. However, I’m happy to say that this place surpassed my expectations. The tea is so strong and fragrant. I had a Yuzu Osmanthus less sweet and it was best version of an Osmanthus drink I’ve had.“

“Sunright Tea is super easy to order from, and I love how customizable the drinks are. But the overall experience could be better. There’s no restroom for customers, no tables or chairs to sit and enjoy your drink, and they even got rid of the Mochi Matcha Frostie with red bean, which was one of my favorites. The drinks are good, but I wish they offered a more comfortable space for customers to enjoy them.“

“They have a great variety, they are very welcoming, and the place has a good social vibe.“

“The drinks were very good healthy choice“

“We got their matcha and coffee lattes. The service was great and so was the vibes inside. Most of the drinks were a bit too milky, except for the Bloom Matcha latte. You can tell from the color of the drinks. The flavors were really good, we loved the gingerbread flavor and lavender syrup.“

“Best fruit healthy tea !!!“

“Hot day. We had a relax time with amazing tea!!!“

“Friendly service... good for everyone’s and good taste drink. Love boba time drinks“

“Occupying the ex-space of Yi-Fang, another boba place in Sawtelle! Yesss you heard me right, feeling like you won't have enough fingers anymore to count them especially if you include those now gone. Pretty nice to have more options amidst the already long list, so no complaint.

There's little line when we arrived, but we got the orders swift enough. Super helpful as they had self-order counter along with the regular one.

First drink for the day was Wintermelon Tea, which was always my to-go whenever available. It's nice that they could do sugar customization for this, as in most places I couldn't do it for tjis drink. I went for 70% and was impressed with its nice balance between the wintermelon flavor and the tea taste.

Our second was from the milk-based one, their Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea, which was also pretty nice with bold tea, though bit too sweet for 50% sugar IMHO; even kinda odd as it's sweeter vs first one despite being at 50%. We added aloe vera topping, which tasted decent enough and was generously given.

Fun fact, they provided option to go for mini cup with any regular one purchased, but only limited to flavor of the day. Pretty nice way to enable people trying new stuffs.“

“delicious amazing boba so many flavors yum! hazelnut is my favorite its soooooo good“

“Food:
Please please please get the beuongo bbang (붕어빵/taiyaki). As a korean american Ive been craving the pastry that my halmoni used to get me back in Korea and this is the most authentic and delicious one that beats the one in Korea! I was so startled by the taste that I urged my parents to try and they agreed that the batter is really well made. The drinks were great too but definitely on the sweeter side (try the zodiac drinks, thought it was a cute way to try introduce new drink combos).

Parking and store:
Parking lot is a decent size for it being in ktown. The store is small inside but the atmosphere is so cozy and cute.

Service:
Im pretty sure the man who was taking my owner was also the owner but he was super friendly. Would go out of his way to make sure customers can find the bathroom and would check in with each of his customers.“

“Salmon Ikura dish is amazing! So much flavor!“

“I will CRY if this place ever closes because this is my favorite boba of all time!!! Passion fruit Yakult or milk tea are the best!! This place is the only place that does fruit milk tea the best!! The only downside is that the building always has issues, so make sure to follow them on Instagram to make sure they're open!! The staff is always super nice and the wait time isn't that long even when they're swamped with people. Make sure to sign up for the reward points for coupons and a birthday reward of $10!!“

“Sunright Tea Studio in Ktown is an absolute gem for boba enthusiasts like myself! I've been a regular here for quite some time, and their Fruit Tea is my absolute go-to every visit. I always order it at 50% sweetness, and it's consistently perfect. The ambiance is cozy, and the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. If you're in the area and craving some top-notch boba, look no further than Sunright Tea Studio!“

“I am so surprised by the customer service I received at Sharetea. I went in the evening of the 4th of July. The guys working there were cleaning and when I walked in, they immediately stopped to help me. I asked one of the guys about almost everything on the menu and he kindly answered all of my questions. After I finally selected what I wanted, he made it, and I thought that it was too sweet. He helped me out by giving me some more tea to dilute the sweetness and I immediately spilled it all over the counter. He very kindly cleaned it up and told me not to worry about it. I felt so bad, but he assured me that it was okay. Long story short, their customer service was excellent and they were so kind despite all of that. Also, once I got the right level of sweetness, it was delicious. I highly recommend them!“

“The best brown sugar drink I've tried so far. ​The drink is smooth and milky, and blends very well with the brown sugar drizzled around the cup. ​It's also not too overpowering, so it's not weak. ​The pearls are chewy and well-infused with delicious brown sugar.“

“PLEASE PLEASE DONT remove blueberry cheesecake drink from your menu!! It is by far the best drink I’ve had from your menu and it’s so DELICIOUS! I don’t intend to try anything else when visiting Sharetea so please keep it on your menu!! 😍😍🫐🫐“

“i absolutely love this place. The owners are super sweet and the food is DDDEEELLISSHH!“

“Friendly service... good for everyone’s and good taste drink. Love boba time drinks“

“The QQ Happy Family is worth the hassle of parking and walking a long distance.

Parking: It took us almost 20 minutes to find parking, but it was a 2-minute walk from there. Definitely try to park in Parking B. Sharetea is next to the entrance/exit on the lower level of the Galleria extension over Central, along Broadway.

Wheelchair accessibility: Park in Parking B on lower level, if you can. Otherwise, you will need to go far and/or take an elevator. I have no idea where the elevator is.“

“Excellent service 👍👍👍 Love this place ..“

“I've come here a few times and absoluetly love it here. They have comfy seating and a wide variety of drinks and foods to try. So chill to come and sit and drink, work or study! Love the claw machines and photobooth! It's right across from Kpopbestie which i visit a lot so it's fun to come after a little splurge!“

“Friendly service... good for everyone’s and good taste drink. Love boba time drinks“

“What really makes this place stand out for me?
They put way more boba than most places, and it tastes so good!
The boba are fresh, not sticky, and have that perfect chewy texture.
You can definitely taste the freshly squeezed juice in the drink, and there’s a lot of it, too.
Overall, super tasty! Definitely a spot I’d come back to regularly if you love fruit teas and good boba.“

“This place is good for your fruity teas. I love that you order from the tablet (introvert dream) and they accept Google pay. The flavors are good and the service is quick. They always greet when you enter and smile when handing you the drink.“

“Friendly service... good for everyone’s and good taste drink. Love boba time drinks“

“Orders made quickly. Ordered Strawberry milk, Brown Sugar Boba, Coconut Mango Paradise, and the new flavor, Banana Milk.

Just a few tables and chairs to sit inside and outside.

Street parking or parking lot behind the store“

“Buen servicio muy amables“

“Got the honey milk boba and the passionfruit tea boba. Both were absolutely delicious! The perfect amount of sweet. The lady at the front was so nice and even put in some candies from Korea into my order. Will definitely be back! Such great energy & the drinks were on point.“

“Check out MAI Coffee House if you’re looking for a cozy coffee spot with great drinks and a relaxing atmosphere. I loved the calm vibes here—such a nice place to slow down and enjoy a thoughtful cup of tea.

I ordered the strawberry matcha with no added sugar, and it was perfect for me. The drink is made with Straus organic milk and their house-made fresh strawberry purée, so you really taste the natural fruit flavor without it being overly sweet. They actually use no fruit syrups or processed sugars, which makes the drink feel clean, refreshing, and well balanced.

I also tried the pistachio bun, which was soft, nutty, and so satisfying alongside the matcha.

Another thing I appreciate is their attention to ingredients: they use high-quality tea and coffee beans sourced from Vietnam, Taiwan, and Japan, along with fresh fruit purées like strawberry, mango, and avocado made in house. You can really taste the difference when everything is made with care.“

“I love this place, because their drinks taste so good and I would buy again“

“Tried a lot of different drinks! I'm not a fan of banana flavor but the banana in the matcha and the honeycomb milk tastes quite subtle, and it's pretty fragrant. I also got the Vietnamese coffee frappe, which was more of a slushie because it was so foamy/liquid-y, rather than icy which I prefer. The liquid gold (oolong tea with cream) and lychee black tea had great tea flavor as well. Every drink was not overly sweet (some had sweetness adjustment to 20% or below). A good after-dinner treat if you're in the Sawtelle area!“

“First discovered musabi’s in Hawaii and was excited to find this spot in Santa Monica. The shop is small with no seating, but the food is the real draw. Great selection, fresh and flavorful, and perfect for a quick snack. Love the Santa Monica vibe, a fun place to grab a bite before heading to the beach“

“The slushies are good & refreshing and the Taiyaki are hot off the press and yummy!!! 😋😋😋“

“What is there not to love about Alfred Coffee of WeHo! 😊“

“Got a dubai chocolate shake and it was great. One of the owners，I believe her name was Jo, was working the register and asked us after ordering if we wanted a free Thai Tea with boba as they had extra at closing time they would have otherwise discarded so we got extra tea with our order and the dubai chocolate shake was really good with a thick shell of chocolate on top.“

“THE COFFEE BOBA WITH COFFEE JELLY WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I went here with my girl and our friend, and mmm they all seemed happy too!!

The menu was... well a little overwhelming at first! which is a good thing :) a lot of interesting options!

The pricing was decent, my only issue is that it's lackin' seating...“
