50 Best Bubble Tea near La Palma

“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 👌“

“Very cute shop with pleasant ambiance and a lot of seating. The staff was super helpful going over the menu items. A highlight for me was the mini taiyaki filled with vanilla cream (served piping hot). The boba pearls were fresh and chewy too.“

“Randomly found this gem while looking for after school snacks. What a find!!! They have a tropical smoothie thats actually a halo halo smoothie! The owner and cashier were also super friendly. I know where to get my halo halo fix in the area.“

“My 5 star review is for the drinks and egg rolls! Iced Jasmine tea was superb. The Vietnamese egg rolls filled with pork, shrimp and veggies..best egg rolls I have ever had!! I live an hour and a half away and would drive back just for these!! Super cute place with lots of plants, a few claw machine games and a giant Connect 4 game. Comfy seating, no a/c, no public restroom.“

“I’ve been to a lot of boba shops, and this is one of the few that keeps me coming back. The drinks are consistently good, the prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes, and the staff always go out of their way to be helpful and accommodating.

What really stands out is how willing they are to customize drinks. Every time I’ve had a special request or wanted to tweak an order, they’ve been happy to help. That level of customer service is becoming harder to find and makes a big difference.

Prices are great! The Thai Tea Blossom was great and tapioca is always on par. The Vietnamese coffee with the Thai tea is my favorite. The ingredients taste fresh, the boba has great texture, and the drinks are made with care.

More than anything, this place feels like a business that genuinely values its customers. Great drinks, fair prices, and friendly people. It’s become my go-to boba spot, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a local place to support.“

“The strawberry smoothie is made with fresh strawberries and is delicious. The owner made ours with a modification without batting an eye, and when our four year old began sobbing after spilling hers, he came outside to see what was going on. As soon as he saw what happened, he took her smoothie and filled it up and put new angel wings on it for her. It was so sweet. He takes a lot of pride in his restaurant and it shows. Bravo.“

“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.“

“Amazing service and that signature milk tea was the part I kept thinking about after. The black tea came through first, then the milk softened it, and the cream on top made each sip feel a little fuller. The pecan bits helped too, not just there for show. Sweetness felt restrained, which I liked.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“We popped in and ordered several different drinks. The cashier clerk was friendly and patient. Plenty of seating inside. Drinks came out quick. Lots of parking in the plaza. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. I tried:

Mango latte with butterfly pea tea: 5/5 beautiful color (see photo), subtle mango flavor, very smooth.

Peach lychee: 4/5 nice and refreshing, good amount of sweetness at 50% sugar.“

“Great first experience! The location was easy to find with plenty of parking, and I really liked the atmosphere inside. The decor and wall art were nice, there was plenty of seating, and all of the employees I encountered were friendly and courteous.

Ordering was really convenient with their touchscreen self-service kiosk, which was very easy to use.

I came for the mango sticky rice, and it did not disappoint! This was actually my first time trying mango sticky rice, and it was absolutely delicious. The rice was cooked perfectly, the mango was fresh and perfectly ripe, and the presentation was nice. For only $6, I thought the portion was a great value too. I took it to go and even after a 15-minute drive home, it was still at a great temperature.

I also saw that they have a mango sticky rice smoothie on the menu, which I definitely plan on trying next time! They have a nice variety of other menu options as well. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend checking them out!“

“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 !“

“I tried the Kale Green Smoothie at Ambrosia Brew and absolutely loved it! It was incredibly refreshing, fresh, and delicious. The flavor was perfectly balanced—not too sweet, and you can really taste the freshness of the ingredients. It was exactly what I needed on a warm day. Definitely one of the best green smoothies I’ve had. I’ll absolutely be coming back for another one!“

“We were a family of 5 and we all got a milk tea boba. Everyone loved their drinks and food. The portions were generous and delicious. The beef bologa and orange chicken were so great. I'm so glad to we checked this place out. It was the perfect ending to our vacation.“

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

“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.“

“Soooo delicious!! Ordered to-go & took us a little over 20mins to get home & surprisingly my Shaved Iced dessert was still frozen! Very satisfied with how everything tasted. I ordered the Green Tea Snow with Oreos, Strawberries & Popping Boba combination. I loved it. I also ordered the Pistachio & Matcha Green Tea Macarons & the Milk Tea. The Pistachio Macarons & Milk Tea was delicious. Definitely recommend. (Didn’t get to try Jesse’s Breakfast)“

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

“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 ^^“

“The atmosphere at this bubble tea shop was amazing! Supporting my fellow Chinese friends (LOL)!“

“Decided to stop by here after going to the LA fitness to get some business done. As I previously stated, there are many different types of tea places here in OC. Still, I'm glad I stopped by, since it's been a really hot summer, I really enjoyed that this place offers nice cold and refreshing smoothie type tea drinks with boba! I ordered a mango type and was very satisfied. The staff were friendly and professional. Interior and exterior are clean. Parking is spotty at best because they share a public parking lot with many different businesses including the gym. Still I am very happy I stopped by and will be returning very soon.“

“Best eel rice plate we've had in OC so far ✨

Between that and their service, it's why we keep coming back. We live nearby and like to come in when I have a craving for their eel rice plate. I don't know what it is about their eel. It's better than some excellent sushi I've had and I would consider buying it if they put it in the menu a la carte.

My partner gets the Build Your Own plate. Sometimes we get a macaron ice cream. Sometimes we get a drink. It depends on our mood, but either way, it's always solid.“

“The 3 of us came here for lunch. We always order the Honey Walnut Shrimp Burger which is delicious (5/5). The Taro Sweet Milk is good (4/5) and the Black Sesame Matcha is just average (3/5). It could get busy during lunch rush hour, kitty might take 10-15 minutes you wait for your burger, although the drinks are much faster. The ambiance is airy with high ceiling, the Chinese decor is quite interesting.“

“I was craving boba before a night out, so we made a quick stop.

Parking: Free parking lot. There’s a medium sized parking lot, so finding an open spot is easy.

Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a couple tables and chairs. Seating is very limited. There’s cute wall decor and backgrounds for photos.

Service: We placed our orders at the kiosk. Throughput was quick & efficient after ordering. The two workers we encountered were courteous.

Drinks: I got the Matcha Brûlée, and my friend got the House Coffee with sea salt foam. The matcha brûlée came with brown sugar boba. I couldn’t taste the matcha bc the brown sugar was very overpowering. The boba texture was good. The brûlée swirls were very faint. Overall, the flavors could use some improvements. The house coffee was thick and creamy. The sea salt foam was okay; could be thicker with a bit more salt.

Pricing: Average prices for boba drinks nowadays. I’d visit again bc their milk teas are good, but I wouldn’t get the Matcha Brûlée again.“

“Tastea is one of my favorite stops for tea and boba.

They always make the drinks fresh and I really like that they create different drinks all the time for something new to try.

The service is quick and friendly. You can order on the ap, kiosk or in person. In any case they make your drink pretty quickly and there is hardly a wait.

This location is small. They have a bench to wait but no tables.“

“Everything is delicious there“

“When I’m craving a bubble waffle this will always be my go-to spot, they’re not only affordable but also delicious & great sizing for the price. I also love getting their dragon fruit lemonade slush. Though the taste sometimes feels too sweet even after adjusting the sugar level it’s still good. Even better that they allow for you to choose your sugar! My diabetic uncle loves the yakult smoothie. The customer service is always amazing :)

10/10.“

“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.“

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

“Located next to Vừa Khó Bo is this tea shop. It had a self kiosk to place your order and two employees in the back.

They offer fresh tea, milk tea, fruit tea, smoothies, coffee, cheese foam and matcha.

I couldn’t decide between banana matcha latte or pandan matcha latte. I went with the latter. It’s made with whole milk and the matcha is ceremonial grade with pandan flavor. Not too sweet and the matcha was not bitter or grassy, it was perfect. I would return to try the banana matcha. They only have one size cup to offer.“

“Got a large Thai Tea during happy hour which was nice. Perfect amount of sweetness for me. It was nice, clean, fast service. The stacked bench seating with no tables was weird. Also no ranch with my store bought popcorn chicken was also not what Im used to but overall was still a nice place, I would go again and would recommend.“

“Great no frills Dim sum Order at the counter and have quick service. Pork and shrimp was really good.“

“Cute coffee shop that's open late.
Was in the area and wanted some hot tea. Unfortunately, most in the area close early. They are one of the few that are open late.
There's plenty of free self parking.
The cafe is clean and has a few indoor tables and plenty of seating.
The staff is super friendly and helpful in selecting a drink from their large menus.
You can customize the tea.
I ordered a hot tea with 30% sweetness level. It was good.“

“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“

“butter cookie coffee 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀“

“Hidden gem, great for lunch and they do catering. I ordered multiple items for catering for a party, and my guest kept telling me how amazing the food was. Three of my guests went to eat at the restaurant the next week and again told me how amazing it was.“

“Se ve muy limpio y el personal amable“

“The girl working there is absolutely fabulous super kind and easy to talk to. She was able to describe all the different flavors in great detail, as I was curious about the yogurt Matcha. I definitely recommend!! Also grabbed the Strawberry Matcha. The matcha flavor is strong, but still balanced by the wonderful puree at the bottom. Everything is wonderfully house made :3 will be back to try the Vietnamese coffees. Nice how they use oatmilk by default.“

“Nice vibes…………………..!!!!!!!“

“😍Great Fresh Fruit Juice“

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

“Taty's has a lot of unique drinks that you can choose from. I liked everything I got the second time around. I would come back here.

Tip: Don't get crystal boba. I got this the first time and it was very dense and didn't taste good. Drinks are just right in sweetness. Get at least 75% here and don't go too low.

* Ube Matcha Latte 4.5/5 - This was tasty, though I wish the ube flavor came across more. It was very understated. I got Osmanthus Mochi Jelly addon and it was yummy, a cross between a grass jelly and mochi texture with a light sweetness.

* Mini Breadsticks 5/5 - These were like crispy banh mi. I like that they were protein-packed with pork floss and pate.

* Popcorn Chicken 5/5 - Crispy and delicious popcorn chicken. Their spicy level may be a bit high as I ordered mild, but it was more like a medium (maybe it was just the seasonings being concentrated at the top).

* Pink Guava Strawberry Tea 5/5 - Very refreshing and sweet drink, hint of guava and strawberry, not strong taste.

* Blended Oreo Brulee 5/5 - Creamy, eggy, sweet goodness. It was a real treat. Your mouth is like Oreo-land with bouncy egg custard.“

“Best Apple Fritters in town hands down! They also make mini fritters with crispy goodness all the way around. Just ordered 3 dozen for a Celebration of Life to honor my father, and they were a hit. His favorite go to in the morning was a fritter and coffee.“

“Absolutely love Boba Ave 8090! The drinks are consistently delicious—especially the Messy Milk Tea and Strawberry Uji Matcha, which are both flavorful and visually stunning. The popcorn chicken is crispy, well-seasoned, and always hits the spot. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy, making it a great hangout spot. Highly recommend to any boba lover looking for top-tier drinks and snacks!“

“It’s always the best specially serves as a desserts 🍨 after dining out in the area. It’s always my last destination for satisfaction!!! Good job Yummy ❤️💚💜💙🖤🧡“

“Amazing donuts and coffee. We drive further than our closest donut shop to come here.“
