37 Best Bubble Tea near Lake Balboa

“Super friendly, very clean place, great atmosphere, plus there boba is Yummy 😋“

“The interior is beautiful and the drinks are great! However, a downside is the baristas they tend to hire have horrible attitudes. They tend to have stank faces and don’t say “please” or “thank you”. I normally don’t care and come here often but lately it’s been getting very rude. So watch out 😂“

“I love this Bobarita place , it’s so good. I Love all the employees there.“

“Good bubble tea, I love mcboba- although Mrboba was better- I still LOVE mcboba I would recommend The Thai tea with boba It is amazing with weird decorations but its still amazing five stars for the best boba place in my area- better than its boba time :)“

“The cheesecake was very good me and my girlfriend enjoyed it very much“

“If you like shakes, smoothies, or tea with boba, this is a great place to come. I have enjoyed every shake/smoothie/tea I've gotten there. My favorite is probably the horchata smoothie, but the Thai tea smoothie is close behind.In regards to food options, I've only tried the ham & cheese croissant. It's successfully simple, if you like ham, cheese, and a flaky croissant, you will probably enjoy this. Everything seems very appropriately priced. It is very clean and quiet here.On my more recent visit, I had a matchata (matcha and horchata) that was quite good. I tend to like their horchata drinks. I also had the pesto chicken sandwich. The bread they use is very soft in the middle with a nice crunch to it on the outside. The chicken breast was cooked well and the pesto was flavorful. I actually didn’t expect such a decent sandwich for the price.“

“I had no idea that Ding Tea was a chain restaurant, and I’m so glad it is. It’s the cutest little bubble tea shop I’ve ever seen. They have plenty of indoor seating, and many people were there studying on laptops, as it’s also close to a local college.

They had so many options to choose from. I had never tried a lychee drink before, so I went with their peach green tea and, of course, had to add boba. You get to choose your sweetness and ice levels, which I really appreciate. I wish more places offered this option since I prefer my drinks on the sweeter side.

The staff was super friendly, and my drink came out quickly. This makes it perfect for grabbing a quick drink on the go or hanging out with a friend. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I got a half watermelon and half passion fruit slushie with mango jelly. It was absolutely delicious 😋“

“The most delicious coffee mocha boba ever!!!! Love it!!“

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

“Opens late, closes early. This is honestly so infuriating. 🙂‍↕️ also unprofessional, imo. With that said: the boba is fire, and I love the Thai tea. Not overly sweet like some places make it, it’s just right. The boba’s taste sweet, honestly one of my favorite spots. Just wish they opened and closed on time. Sometimes I plan my day around getting a boba at 12pm when they open, only to pull up and it’s black inside and not a soul insight like it’s about to open or anything. As I write this today it’s stated they close at 8pm, so imagine my joy and delight when I pull up at 7:45pm and they are already closed. Pitch blank inside, not even just closing/person cleaning up inside, but CLOSED. :) so I’m writing this review in irritation after driving all the way to it’s boba time on Plummer and Corbin. 😩 Buda boba is literally only 2 minutes from my house, UGH. Either fix your times to be accurate or actually be open during your listed business hours. Ffs.“

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

“It's a great place to get some milk tea. It's an hole in the wall type of place that is easy to look past, but they have great-tasting stuff! Would recommend.Parking is tricky.

Parking: Small parking lot limited space.

Kid-friendliness: The store is well maintained with cut decor!

Wheelchair accessibility: They have parking accessibility.“

“i just love the mango shake is the best and there fries OMG“

“The drinks are refreshing and delicious. They provide friendly customer service.“

“Super friendly, very clean place, great atmosphere, plus there boba is Yummy 😋“

“We got the mango matcha fresh milk tea and the lychee passion fruit tea. Both were reasonably priced and delicious. I recommend trying the bobas here. They taste fresh and not artificial. I also recommend their match series.
There's plenty of space to sit down and drink or you can walk around the mall with your Boba.
Theres plenty of parking.“

“Buen servicio muy amables“

“I took my wife here while we were at the Village for her to try. She went with the Jasmine Milk Tea and asked for light ice. There were only two guys working when we came to their small little indoor booth. They made my wife drink quick and she loved it. The customer service was amazing here.“

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

“The inside is nice and cool. Music going, clean tables, and you can order at the screens yourself or at the counter. Lots of seating inside.

I got the Tiger Thai Iced Tea with Boba, very good.

Service was ultra fast too.“

“Cute branch of a chain bubble tea store. They have a standard menu with some options not being able to modify sugar levels (ex. Strawberry colada) but their drinks are great, albeit minimum 6 bucks. The strawberry colada is delicious and has a good amount of strawberry, although I could do with more. The oreo boba drink had the perfect amount of boba and was very good. They have games as well. Small location but fast service and open late, which is a plus since other places in the area are not.“

“I love how quickly the move through every customer, while being friendly.
I finally tried the Acai bowl and it was delicious! I had it with the added honey this time. SO GOOD!☺️ I'll try it without honey the next time, just to see.“

“Lovely experience at this bubble tea place last night, the staff was super helpful and so kind, they all saved my life giving me the wifi to get an uber after getting abandoned by a guy in the middle of the road. I feel very grateful guys for you all, I want to thank you with all my heart and the bubble tea was very nice, cheers <3
Thank you again you are the best!!
Take care and regards,

“ube ,mango and guava roll is good“

“It was about time I wrote a review of this amazing hidden gem! We have been coming here for years, and I cannot explain how amazing everything about this place is. We have tried nearly every boba flavor on the menu & not one has disappointed til today! We have even tried flavors we thought we would not like and we ended up loving. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wish there was more than 5 stars to rate because this business definitely deserves it. Customer service, quality food and drinks, amazing people! Chicken snacks are sooo delicious if you are ever near or local and have not given this place a try. Even if you aren’t local the drive is definitely worth it 💯💕 Super nice and amazing human beings at this shop that definitely serve the best Boba in the valley! I always make the drive because this is the only place we buy our delicious boba drinks 🙏🏻♥️
Pictures below include a delicious pineapple coconut smoothie w/ lychee and boba.
A grapefruit smoothie w/ boba & a strawberry smoothie! 🥰🙏🏻 & cannot forget to order the chicken snack!“

“Definitely loved this place.
I knew I liked boba, and I didn't know where to find a drink. My first thought was Jamba Juice. But instead, I Googled give me a place that had drinks with boba in it! It brought me to Boba Boba, on Balboa! I'm glad it did. It's really, really good, five stars! And wonderful customer service.The lady who helped me was so nice, very positive atmosphere“

“Wonderful people work here who are compassionate and understanding. this will bow be my place to get Boba.“

“Very good place. Great people are working there. Very friendly. Explaining well about their drinks and how they make. Drinks are very tasty. They prepare pudding by themselves and herb jelly. So i recommend to add them to your drinks. They are super delicious and natural than other toppings which they have. I really like Thai peel milk tea and matcha smoothie. The greatest thing about this brand is that they use dairy free substitution from Taiwan instead of milk and it taste like milk. Very recommended.“

“My son and I love boba. I believe there are 3 boba shops in century city mall. We chose this one bc it had the best reviews and I found it first. It was really good and had a LOT of boba in it, which I appreciated bc so many places skimp on the boba these days. They were the perfect consistency and sweetness. Would def order from here again!“

“I got a half watermelon and half passion fruit slushie with mango jelly. It was absolutely delicious 😋“

“I had the privilege to meet the owner, and he was kind and respectful. I usually go with my kids and the girl that works there is very welcoming and very friendly. This place has the best taro drink. I like the option of almond milk. My kids like the oreo smoothie and the mango kiwi smoothie ?. Great service!!! The place is also clean and has enough room for a wheelchair. We played uno with my kids. The environment is nice. Parking spaces are available. You should try them yourselves. They open at noon.“
