50 Best Bubble Tea near Downey

“butter cookie coffee 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀“

“Lavender lemonade and good company ❤️“

“Small place. Super friendly staff. Self serve boba. Have 20 different flavors. Some interesting. Some super good. They let you taste test which is awesome. Prices are decent keeping in mind the times now. They have a food menu. Had the spicy shrimp and pork wonton soup. It didn't disappoint. Hit the spot. Will definitely be visiting this place again !“

“TL;DR - I loved their new matcha lineup (super unique and good). The drinks here are pretty lol. Popcorn chicken and sticky chicken bites hit the spot. Charbroiled ribeye was very good too. And definitely ask for less sugar if that’s your usual!

I’ve been meaning to check this place out for a while, and I’m glad I finally did. Their menu is stacked for both food and drink, but the drinks are what really shine. They’re honestly some of the prettiest drinks I’ve seen (and yes, they taste as good as they look). The food was solid overall, and they’ve got all the classics you expect from a milk tea spot.

We tried the new matcha series and every single one was a tasty. The screaming strawberry matcha milk tea was super refreshing, and the cookie butter matcha ended up being my personal favorite—I’m weak for anything biscoff and this one was seriously delicious lol. The screaming blueberry matcha was really fun to try too. You don’t see blueberry matcha often, so that was cool and definitely worth getting if you love blueberry. Heads up: their drinks lean sweeter, so if you’re a “30–50% sugar” person, make sure to make that request here too.

Food-wise, I was excited they had popcorn chicken. You can’t go wrong with that. The sticky chicken bites were also tasty (a sweeter option). The standout for me was the charbroiled ribeye. I’m always a sucker for ribeye, and theirs did not disappoint.

Service was quick, the staff were super friendly, and the space has a chill vibe. Indoor and outdoor seating, good lighting, and it’s a nice spot to study or just hang out with friends.“

“About a year ago, my daughter wanted to try boba for the first time. This location was close to where we were running errands, so we tried it just out of convenience, and I'm glad we did. I wasn't a fan of boba, so I wasn't much help in helping her pick a drink. The team at the location realized my daughter needed help, and they were extremely gracious in their efforts. They made suggestions based on flavors, appearance, and textures, and they really cared to help her find something she would like. My daughter loved her drink and has become quite the boba fan because of them. I even ended up trying a drink and realizing I just wasn't a fan of the traditional Tapioca boba (although it's grown on me). My only complaint is that now my daughter always wants boba. Thank you all for the great experience and the daddy, daughter memory. As a matter of fact, maybe our family will come visit you today for Father's Day!As a note, my family was just discussing having boba today. I looked up this location and saw a negative review that had been left by someone who had VERY much the opposite of my experience. I find it necessary to point out that one person's experience is not always the same as another. Be sure to check if a review is an outlier from the norm, and don't let it cloud your judgment. Also, take notice if someone has a tendency to mostly leave negative reviews. They might be bringing those negative experiences upon themselves, or they may have another motive (especially if they have multiple negative reviews of similar establishments).“

“Love this place love the meets they host the drinks are really good and so is the tofu“

“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😒😒“

“Delicious 🤤 got three drinks and all amazing. Highly recommend l!“

“I’ve tried their Mystic Ube Matcha, Guava Grape Bliss, and a Peach Slush that’s no longer on the menu, and they were all delicious. I really like that they use fresh fruit, and when paired with the lowest sweetness level, the drinks turn out perfect. The staff are friendly and have recommended and fine tuned our drinks many times!

The shop itself is pretty small with no real indoor seating, so it’s definitely more of a grab-and-go spot.“

“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:)“

“I was very impressed by the taste of the teas. The milk tea has a strong flavor and the fruit teas are very refreshing. This place has reasonable prices and also often runs promotions! The place has a cute aesthetic and has board games to borrow.“

“Price is right. They serve quick and dependable powder based boba tea drink that reminded me of college days. They have some other boba drinks too but I kinda like their non-lactose milk teas! I’ll go back and try for the other ones.

What really got me in the door were the pastries! I found the aroma, texture and flavors to have been a good quality!“

“My favorite boba place close to where I live. I love their creme brulee drinks and the boba pearls are actually really good here. It's usually pretty empty so we get our drinks quickly and it's really calm in there. There's decent parking outside and they even have mini bahn mi sandwiches that are pretty good as well“

“popcorn chicken is tasty and the shaved ice is delicious. will come back“

“Se ve muy limpio y el personal amable“

“Cocoa cream wow 🤤 es delicioso 😋“

“this is a shop co-founded by a Taiwanese-American (ABC) and a social media influencer, offering a variety of creative snacks. Examples include Pineapple Bun Fried Chicken Burgers, Mapo Tofu Cheesy Taro Hash, Walnut Shrimp Burgers, and Hainanese Chicken Tacos—sounds so unique!

For milk tea recommendations: Try their lactose-free oat milk series and matcha fresh milk. All ingredients are carefully selected—featuring Taiwanese tea leaves and Japanese matcha—with no artificial additives. Perfect for health-conscious crowds to give a try!“

“The drinks were very good healthy choice“

“Love this store very much! Old customer! ! ! ! Recommend Pink Peach Planet! ! ! And their milk tea! ! ! It tastes really good! ! ! I haven’t tried the others, but my friends said they tasted delicious.

Kid-friendliness: It tastes great, feel free to eat it! ! ! Very clean, no need to worry about food safety issues“

“When am pm coffee won't do and you only want quality coffee then this spot will satisfy your caffeine urge“

“Beautiful Design and great Boba 🧋 the best is the Hawaiian 🌺fruit drink 🍹“

“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!“

“Small & assuming with normal bubble tea offerings and some unique takes. I tried the Burn Burn Pineapple, 50% sweetness. Very tasty!“

“I have had a few of the specialty drinks (Sunset Passion and Dragon Slayer) and really enjoyed them. However the main drink I would usually get is a Mango tea and the mango puree is more of small/thin mango chunks and doesn’t really seem like it has as much mango flavor as I am used to.“

“Came here with my friend and the drinks were solid. I got the Osmanthus Tropic and Thai Tea for my friend. Solid Thai tea flavor and quite standard.Their fruit teas are way better though. The Osmanthus Tropic was flavorful and fruity with a deeper tea flavor. I got it with crystal boba. Id recommend this!“

“El Monte doesn’t have too many good boba spots, but Ono Tea House is a decent option. Prices here are a little lower than most places, which is nice.

The tea itself is just okay — not super strong — and the drinks can lean on the sweeter side. I usually order mine with 1/4 sugar since I don’t like them too sweet.

Overall, it’s not a spot I’d go out of my way for, but if you’re in El Monte and really craving boba, it does the job.“

“We LOVED their fried rice it was so good! Solid amount of chicken in it too. We ordered the chicken garlic noodles as well that was also tasty. The woman who took our order was so sweet she brought out all of our items to us very gingerly and also put a nice big bottle of siracha out. We wished we lived closer so we could come more often!“

“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“

“A friend recommended this place after having tried their drinks in the China locations. The drinks are great! I got the coconut mango blue and I highly recommend! The wait was a little long but it was a Friday night so I feel that’s expected.“

“South El Monte has some of the best boba in the world. South El Monte is also home to a lot of Taiwanese boba supplies companies and import so that makes people who start boba shop businesses in the South El Monte an easy access to the materials and that makes it all thrive. When I am not getting the 7Leaves down the street in South El Monte, I would come here to study Mandarin or work on software engineering projects remotely. I think South El Monte has a thriving community of Asian and boba drink lovers. Hello Boba adds another great addition to that one. Another great option is Boba Time which is also right down the same street. I love to get boba and then head to the King Taco place and drink boba with my taco.“

“This is My son and I favorite go to spot for boba drinks.. he always gets the oreo with oreo bits slush with mini boba . I either get the taro slush or Thai tea slush with also mini boba .. soo good .. I also get moms and pops the aloe Vera drinks .. the passion fruit and or kiwi one I think .. we sometimes get the popcorn chicken spicy 😋 very seasoned and always tender .. the churros can be a hit or miss at times..

Also when will you guys bring back the boba plushies!? Lol my son been saving his cards to grab one of those plushies“

“Okay, I’m from the east coast, so my perspective will affect this.
The boba tea was absolutely amazing. I got the strawberry milk boba tea, and I loved it. It was so cheap too, especially with the toppings I added. I got it with coffee jelly, boba, pudding, and it tasted so good. It also tasted like there was actual strawberry in there and not just strawberry flavoring. Had some strawberry bits in it too. I can’t believe how cheap it was, ($6.50) for a large boba with three toppings. Was also pretty fast too.“

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

“japanese rice tea/milk tea.“

“Just got the 🍓 milk tea with 🍓 boba and it was delightful 😊. Smooth and rich but not too sweet with just the right balance of milk tea and 🍓. A bit expensive but flavor size and quality is there. Paid 8 and some change for one large drink.“

“Great bubble tea and interesting flavor combinations!“

“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.“

“Close to home - easy commute - friendly shop, weekend frenzy - good for business“

“A bit different from your traditional Boba tea shop. But I do highly recommend it to try this place if you do like something new to try. Their cheesy fruit smoothie is one of the greatest drink I ever had. Perfect sweetness, ice cold and somehow it just feels like burst of freshness and flavors melting in your mouth. One of the negative though is the long wait time, there wasn’t much people ahead of me, but I had to wait about 20-30 minutes before I could get my order.“

“Muy bien atendido y muy buenas vividas 🥰🥰🥰“

“Decided to try their Strawberry Ice Blended with Lychee Jelly and Ice Cream. Sweetness was not overpowering, and it was good for a hot summer day! Wait times were average with maybe a five minute wait at best. You can either order at the counter or with a self-pay kiosk. There are seats on the inside.“

“Visited OC and was looking for a place to chill. We found this place and tried their taro and winter melon milk tea, as well as their mango fruit tea. It wasn’t bad. The only thing is I think their AC is not working.

Parking: First come first serve“

“I needed some afternoon boba, so I stopped by this Sunright location. This store is located in a plaza with other businesses and it was busy during the time. However, I was able to find ground level parking. Inside the store wasn’t busy though, since I was able to order at the self kiosk right away. The kiosk had an images, so it easy to reference what to get. It was ready within two minutes. I got the Oreo Brulee boba milk tea (regular ice, fresh milk, 50% sweetness, with agar boba). It was a good drink option, especially if you are craving something sweet. This store does have a reward system if you put your phone number, so take advantage of that! American Express is accepted.“

“Neighbors Tea House offers the most exception beverages and sweet treats, like their Smashed Avocado and Durian and soy pudding. I’m still making my way through their menu but there hasn’t been anything I’ve ordered that I didn’t wish I ordered a large of. Their team is exceptional, especially during COVID. You can order online to expedite your experience. Be sure to say hi to Hailey, the owner, who always comes up with these amazing beverages. Will definitely be back!“

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

“I have one word...tasty!!!“

“This is my new favorite hang out spot for popcorn chicken. The prices are very very good and drinks are decent though. The drinks are very sweet so make sure to adjust the sugar levels. Everybody and their mamas out here so it does get very busy so be patient. They only have 2 workers.“

“This is our go to bobba place .
Pretty pleasant . Never really had an issue here!
Bobba always hits!!!!
I get the cocunut milk tea with bobba . Less sugar and my kids get Tara smoothie with bobba and my husband get the manganata smoothie“

“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.“
