50 Best Bubble Tea near El Monte

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

“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.“

“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.“

“South El Monte is full of Asian foods and this place is where people come for Taiwanese items and boba. There are about 10+ other options for boba stores in South El Monte though this spot is one of the best for prices. It is affordable and give good deals, better than boba stores in cities like Monterey Park and Arcadia so people always come by and shop here.“

“Drive thru...blessing. Props to the person who thought about the design replacement of this location it is a drive-through next to a grocery store. What person hasn't woken up early to go groceries and realized OmG I need my coffee and this place is right here! Drivethru was fast and friendly.... I tried the mint Serrano and If you are not a fan of mint don't try it if you are this is delicious and I wish I wouldn't back to get a second one after I was done. It was a perfect combo of sweet savory and foam. As variant plays later when it melted and I actually could have more. Love the freshness of the mint and as I opened it I saw the fresh mint! I will come back again for a revisit

Parking: Drive thru available“

“The food was really delicious I ordered the spicy beef chicken and shrimp spicy it was the bomb sweet and spicy the veggies cooked perfectly not overcooked like other places these still had a nice crunch and the egg rolls were really good love the sauce it came with never tasted anything like it ooh and the strawberry boba was really refreshing it helped a lot with the spicy food tho I wished I would of gotten another one or two definitely regret not coming here sooner“

“We love the El Monte shop very friendly and vary good boba love it“

“Always get the buy two get one sandwich deals.
The 🥖 baguettes are fresh and tasty and the meats are thin and soft melts in the mouth. The teriyaki chicken with rice plate is large and very filling.
Their 🐄 Pho is pretty good too, the broth soup is really light and good flavor.
The desserts are not too sweet, all good.“

“We stopped by Hai Cha for boba tea after visiting the museum. The owner greeted us right away as we walked through the door. He's super friendly and he was very welcoming. We got Hai Cha special milk tea with boba. Waffle was boba. Yogurt smoothie and mango smoothie. The size of the smoothies were huge. We enjoyed our food.“

“First time trying this place. Loved their teas and the super cute random photos on the top! ❤️🎁🎄🎅🏻“

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

“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!“

“The store is a bit small but there is ample seating outside. There is also a lot of great options. Both of my drinks were great and both the guy behind the cash register and the two people working the floor making the drinks were helpful and kind at all times. 10/10“

“wonderful drinks and great service!!“

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

“Came here for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. And ordering was very easy since you do it through a QR code but you can also ask for a menu and order that way as well. Food came within 10 to 15 minutes and everything was very hot and fresh. The meat pies were really hot and filled with yummy juices. The scallion pancakes were very very yummy. I highly recommend getting the cucumbers. Service was decent but don't be expecting conversations from these ladies. They bring you your food and that's about it. I can't wait to come back and the prices are so worth it.“

“R & B Boba Tea offers a delightful experience for bubble tea lovers. Their extensive menu features a variety of flavors, from classic milk teas to unique fruit blends, ensuring there's something for everyone. The boba is perfectly chewy, and the drinks are always refreshingly cold. The cozy atmosphere makes it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. The staff is friendly and accommodating, adding to the overall positive experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in a tasty boba treat! Rodrigo Suerte Realtor I ICON Agent“

“First time stoped by after getting my hair done. Beautiful inside and great customer service. Ordered there new drink a watermelon lemonade with lychee so refreshing.“

“Love it ever since I found about this place. Love that the wall is filled with anime & sometimes band logos drawings & stickers on their counter. Like the mango & peach icy (slushie). Buy one & get one free!!“

“We have been going to Boba Box since it was still doing the soft opening. We drive about 15-20 mins just to come here. My family found a new boba place that actually accommodate everybody drinking favorite. I don’t have to drive to Rowland Heights for Half And Half then go to West Covina for BYOB and OneZo. Then go to Dunkin Donuts for Matcha latte. Boba Box is amazing and drinks always comes out the same taste every time. Just the right coldness and amount of toppings. Keep it up the good work.“

“One of my favorite places for a boba drink. The shop has special events for arts and crafts, kpop fans, and holidays. I go for the delicious drinks. My faves are the orange milky way, sweet pink, and strawberry mochi. The Alaska sunset, honey lemon mint tea, and fruit tea are also very good. The service has always been great. I only wish they were open later. Sometimes my boba craving hits at 830pm and it's too late 😭“

“This Horchata boba 🧋 is delicious 🤤! The service is awesome, long lines but well worth it 🤤“

“First time trying out this place; our friend Peggy recommended here. We loved the authentic favors of our drinks and fantastic service from Sarah. Very attentive and making sure our drinks were good. Will come back again when we travel back to LA!“

“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 🍹“

“Twinkle Brown is my favorite Tea spot in Alhambra, everything on the menu is a must try and must have!“

“Ever since this Tea Spots (Azusa/Amar) opened my 2 daughters and I have been enjoying everything this establishment has to offer. I would suggest that most people if not all should try one time n u 2 would be hooked too. Their Milk Tea with black boba / fresh fruit smoothies, ices with fruit and can’t forget their delicious menu. They have healthy food and fried food like baked sweet potatoes fries and dinner plates also ramen bowls. They have 5$ 7$ n 9$ individual plates that are delicious. We have had most of their food and it has all been very umpslish. Try it yourself u will not be disappointed. EA“

“X Tea Cafe is definitely my favorite tea shop lately! The brown sugar boba milk tea is rich in tea flavor with just the right amount of sweetness, and the boba is perfectly chewy and soft — absolutely delicious. The shop is clean and bright with a cozy atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and chat with friends. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Highly recommend to anyone who loves high-quality tea drinks!“

“New Boba spot and I love it. Their prices are very reasonable and I love that their boba is always fresh and soft. I always order off the swirl menu. Add creme brulee to your drink. They also have fries, onion rings, and cheese sticks. Love the plain cheese sticks, only thing missing is the marinara sauce. They give ranch but I don't like their ranch. It tastes weird. I tried the plain onion rings extra crispy. They are ok but leave a grainy after taste. I'll stick to the cheese sticks. But I love their boba. I go almost every day“

“Awesome drinks.. everyone must try“

“The store is bright and fun. Staffs are young with joyful smile. Of course the drinks are great which bring the happy day.“

📩 Boba boba! I had the chance to try out @bengong and it was super delicious!

We ordered:
1. Mango Mochi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
2. Osmanthus Latte ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
3. Jasmine Tea Latte ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4. Peach Latte ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think the best Asian compliment you can get for dessert is the “not so sweet,” from your aunties, and this was definitely what it was giving.

The sweetest drink by far was the Mango Mochi which was served as a slush. It was super refreshing and a good pick me up drink for a hot day.

The tea lattes were also very good and are definitely a good option for less sweet items. My personal favorite between the lattes had to be the peach latte which was super refreshing and a good study drink!

Environment is also a good place to study and chill at, but definitely on the smaller side 📚🙇‍♀️📖

“Great fruit drink and milk tea“

“We love Boba Friend. We visit here frequently and I like that they have non-caffeinated drink selections for my little one who is obsessed with this place. They also have an option where you can get a mystery plush keychain with your drink. That one is always a fun one to get. We've got quite a few keychains. Highly recommend this place.“

“Small business of teas and snacks. All drinks are very good. You can order online or in person.
Most of the time is 2 people taking care of orders and one person comes to the register to take in person orders. You might have to wait a bit but it's worth it. 😊“

“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.“

“Honestly, I couldn’t really say much about the atmosphere yet, I have never been inside the store. My orders were via delivery but from experience it’s the best, excellent and tasty Taro boba drink I’ve ever had. It’s so hard to a very good Taro drink these days using fresh Taro, I love ❤️❤️❤️ House Taro Yuan the best!! Please keep up the great work and never change your ingredients, you are the best and my favorite of all!! I’ll be sure to stop by and experience the taste of the atmosphere being inside your store!!“

“I been dying to visit this boba place years. I'm not from the SG area so it took some time but the interior place was 😮 it's was like space 🌌. And I love the design of the menu. I ordered a rose and lychee fried yogurt and it's so delicious n pretty. Each has rose petals as decorations and it's sweet and tangy. Next time I need to try their jasmine yogurt and their drinks 🤤“

“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.“

“The Spring Oolong Tea Milk Tea was perfect for me with its sugar adjustment. I can taste the actual tea; no powder involved. The shop itself is small and very cute. Support your local businesses! 10/10 would recommend to a friend! The tea is good.“

“japanese rice tea/milk tea.“

“butter cookie coffee 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀“

“Ok, so this tea place is definitely in my top 5 drink spots. I love that they have so many flavors and mix/match options. The employees are always nice and patient. They always give great recommendations if I ask. And they have a fridge with discounted pre-made drinks that I love to grab. The triple shot is my favorite!“

“our best nights here in jin teahouse great location convenient friendly staff and best place to hangout with your friends and also great best place for dates.... its actually they good selection of food most recommended place...“

“I have been trying various milk tea places in the area to find a place that would cater milk tea for my upcoming wedding. My wife could not have the wedding without having milk tea served to the guests. My wife and I tried the champ milk tea here and decided that this place was the one. Their portions are much larger than other shops, and the tea flavor is pronounced and not covered by sugar/milk. The manager, Ryan, was super helpful in preparing our bulk order for the wedding, and it was a major hit during our wedding. Definitely come here for their various milk tea flavors, and also highly recommend their Kumquat green tea! Thank you Tea Champ!“

“Service - 5 stars
Lucy patiently explained the different options to us and shared her favourites!

Osmanthus rice ferment with fresh milk - 4.5 stars

Boba - 4 stars

Jinxuan mountain tea with fresh milk, no sugar - 4 stars
Tea could've been a bit stronger.

Taro pearls - 3.5 stars
Bit too hard.“

“Yi Fang in Arcadia is my go-to spot for boba! The drinks are always great, and the quality never disappoints. Ordering is super easy now with their touchscreen kiosks, which make the process quick and efficient. There’s plenty of parking, so no stress about finding a spot. The prices are reasonable, making it an all-around great choice for boba lovers. Highly recommend!“

“This place’s tea quality was phenomenal. I got one of the signature drinks, you get a cup that’s reusable too, and if you want topping they can give it on the side because there is no customization with the signature drinks. The boba was QQ and hot!“

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

“Delicious boba drinks. I’ve visited this location several times and the employees are always efficient, but the prices have been rising similar to other tea places in LA. Two options to order: at two self-service kiosks or with a worker at the register. I recommend the Oreo brûlée boba milk which was $6.95. They also have several kids menu options which are great for a smaller 16 oz drink instead of the normal 22 oz. They’re located at the entrance of a food court in a shared plaza with a super market and other stores, so there’s enough shared lot parking.“
