50 Best Bubble Tea near La Palma

“My BnA experience was amazing! The service was professional and they expressed much courtesy. The atmosphere felt as though I was in a world outside of the everyday city which I worked in. I had their strawberry matcha and the flavor was a sweet and earthy balance. The Chocolate chip cookies with Walnuts were soft, giving a sweet from to chocolate and filled my mouth with a sensation of home baked feeling that made me feel a yearning for a home from my younger years.
The huge display screen really stands out above all other coffee and tea locations. With a quality menu I definitely recommend visiting Before n After for either a quick snack and refreshing beverages or a relaxing cafe setting to relax in while doing school or remote work.
Will be definitely visiting again!“

“This was such a great experience at Boba Time La Palma! I ordered the X-Large Brown Sugar Milk with Boba and egg pudding—absolutely delicious. Perfectly sweet, creamy, with soft chewy boba and smooth egg pudding that made it even better. Definitely a 5-star drink, I’ll be coming back for more!“

“Good service and better Boba!

I was in the area and in the mood for some boba and stopped by and I'm glad I did the girl behind the counter named Jane did an amazing job helping me . They also have a bunch of different soups and ramen meals!

Would recommend and return 👌“

“This is a wonderful family-run boba shop. The owner is always super friendly. They make their drinks to order, instead of pre-mixing them like other shops. And I appreciate that I can get my drink with regular milk, instead of non-dairy creamer being the only option.“

“I dont understand why this place doesnt have a line around the building... I've been coming here for a while now. I used to live in Santa Ana, then Paramount, and now Laguna Niguel. Every time I've made the drive because the drinks are AMAZING. For the most part I'm a Thai tea kinda person and the Thai Tea Blossom is ALWAYS on pint and add the Sealt Creme..... its heaven in a cup. The staff has always been good and the art does blow me away, some of these people should be doing comics, manga or cartoons. This place should be on everyone's list if you're into delicious drinks, think I'm kidding?? Again-- I drive from Laguan Niguel to get a drink from here!!!“

“Taro Latte, and Vietnamese coffee ube foam is stellar, A grade. But Vi, the owner, is the star of the store. She made sure everyone loves their order before you leave, and will alter it if needed. The store is lovely with plenty of seating, toy machines, and anime merchandise. Will definitely be back for more.“

“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“

“Usually boba shops don’t stand out from other boba shops. Except this one. This Cerritos outlet of 7 Miles Tea Lab has more creative blends of toppings with different textures and tiny taste bombs. I would select lower sugar level since the ingredients being blended seem already sweet enough. Unless you are a super sugar tooth. As said these are serious dessert drinks and much less like your simple milk tea with tapioca boba balls. They only have one kiosk to order your drink sk there might be quite a wait if the customer ahead of you cannot decide what to order since the choices of drinks and toppings are varied. There is plenty of free parking in the strip mall parking lot.“

“I eat too much pizza and its become hobby of judging pizza independents. He said it would it would be ready in 10 minutes and it was. Pizza was amazing for the price point. Hospitality grade was beyond what I would expect from a small pizza establishment. Gentleman at the counter presented my pizza my like a fine wine ordered in a restaurant. Offered ranch at no charge. Offered cheese and peppers. Plates and napkins were provided without request. I approve of this fine establishment.“

“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.“

“Chayan Tea Shop is an absolute gem!
The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warm aroma of freshly brewed tea and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Their menu offers a wonderful variety of teas—each cup perfectly balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always happy to recommend something new based on your taste.

Whether you’re stopping by for a refreshing iced tea, a creamy milk tea, or a comforting hot brew, Chayan never disappoints. The quality, presentation, and overall experience are consistently excellent.

Highly recommended for all tea lovers! 🍃🫖🌟“

“wonderful drinks and great service!!“

“This is such a great place for nice little treat! Boba is amazing. I had the Thai green milk tea and it was delicious. Great customer service as well. The ladies in the back were welcoming and very helpful.
This is a nice place to come and hop on a work meeting or work on that important homework assignment. I will definitely be back again!“

“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.“

“Been meaning to try Bopomofo but I live in NorCal so haven't had a chance until today! The hojicha latte is less intense than what I'm used to but still kept me up all night. The dark meat popcorn chicken is probably my favorite thing here. It did not disappoint. The beef noodle sandwich was an interesting experience and literally tasted like pho in a sandwich. The walnut shrimp sandwich was underwhelming and too dry for my taste.

Staff were friendly, seating is limited.“

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

“Se ve muy limpio y el personal amable“

“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!“

“Amazing, Outstanding!!! Drinks were Awesome!!!! Visitor from Colorado who drinks coffee everyday and I must say, this coffee satisfied my thirst, will Definitely be returning again.“

“Cocoa cream wow 🤤 es delicioso 😋“

“First time ever been here. I love the lovely decorations for Valentines coming. I got B2 Fresh Lemon Black Tea with Mango Boba and Lychee Jello, highly recommend for this drink if you are tired of milky/creamy boba. Service is friendly and patient!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“This was my first time here. The shop is super cute and the Passion Fruit green tea was🔥“

“Such a tasty and refreshing treat! Wonderful and friendly service. I usually enjoy hot tea over cold but they have converted me! House tea and lychee hibiscus are a must try ��“

“I got the Four Seasons (a white tea) milk tea, which I think is my new favorite tea base, with 75% sweetness, large boba, regular ice, and creme brûlée pudding (I thought I would get something I don’t often see as a topping). I am so happy with this drink! Service was fast and easy, I ordered on a kiosk and the drink was called out within 5 minutes! When I mixed in the pudding and boba, the drink was super sweet (which is what I wanted, but next time I should probably get 50% or 25% sweet or not get the creme brûlée pudding, to limit myself to a more reasonable sugar intake). The boba was perfectly chewy, on the softer side, which is what I prefer, with good flavor, and there was a generous amount. The creme brûlée made the milk tea taste like vanilla ice cream and caramel were mixed in. Soooo good. Thank you for a nice dessert stop! The shop is small but very cozy with a few seating options. Side note: I was happy to hear Now or Never from High School Musical 3 playing over the speakers when I walked in. It warmed my gen z heart.

After looking at other reviews, I also wanted to add: You can order using one of 2 kiosks, or with a cashier at the register. There is also a QR code for the menu, and a printed menu near the register. The employee called out our orders when they came out.“

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

“We stopped in here after our visit next door at Dong Hung Vien. We picked up teas earlier down the street that were literally disgusting with old tea and flavor. Helen helped us today and made us the most delicious Lychee and passion green teas. The tea was very fresh, fruit flavor right on and the sweetness st 25 percent was perfect. Thank you Helen for making our visit so nice and we look forward to stopping by again .“

“butter cookie coffee 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀“

“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.“

“Nice vibes…………………..!!!!!!!“

“muy buena atencion muy amables“

“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.“

“really great milk tea along of choices and Vietnamese food“

“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!“

“This is the original Tastea location, and it’s got so much history for me. It opened when I was just finishing high school — I was 17 or 18 — and this place was the hangout spot. One of the first big boba spots around, and easily the most popular. All my friends worked here, everyone came through — it was the place to be.

When they dropped the green boba, it was game over. People were lining up. Even now, with so many new tea shops everywhere, this one still holds up.

My go-to drink is the Peach Me Sweetea — still undefeated. When I want something simple (and cheaper), the Simple Black Iced Tea always hits. Lately, though, I’ve been obsessed with their ranch fries. They used to have the buttload fries — not my favorite seasoning — but this new ranch version? So good. Everything’s fresh, hot, and made to order.

Honestly, I’ve come here just for the fries sometimes and forget to get a drink. I never get the boba, but the drinks and those ranch fries? Nowhere else does it like this. Still one of my favorite OG spots.“

“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!“

“Such a fun and delicious experience! I tried the Boba Flight, which lets you sample different drinks, and it was such a great way to explore their menu. The Matcha Marble and Taro Milk Tea ended up being my favorites—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced in flavor. I also ordered the Ube Bites, which were so chewy and flavorful, a perfect sweet treat alongside the drinks. The space is welcoming, and the service was quick and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for creative and tasty boba options!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️“

“🍩 𝐌𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐢 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐧𝐮𝐭 𝐱 𝐁𝐨𝐛𝐚 🧋 𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭
I love their Boba And donut shop it is such a cute and welcoming place! I got the plushy surprise with taro milk tea and boy…. that my melody plushy is so adorable 🥰
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 (≧◡≦) 🧋“

“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 !“

“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!“

“1. The smoothies were delicious and well-crafted! I really like the coconut strawberry smoothie!
2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior has high ceilings!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready in less than 10 mins!
Note: There is a restroom available for customers!
