50 Best Bubble Tea near Lakewood

“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 ^^“

“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.“

“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.“

“Their menu was quite lengthy with tons of options including for the toppings. I got their Daydream Milk Tea, which was their version of milk tea with bold smokey tea with hint of caramel. I went for soy milk, which I thought went well as it let the tea flavor stood out strong. 30% ice and 4 out of 5 sweetness level turned impressive for me. I knew people loved their rich options of toppings including peculiar ones like black sesame jelly and black tea jelly, but I went for neither as I was in the boat of toppingless milk tea.“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Their Matcha is something I have a craving for almost every week! Mom also loved it and my sis showed me this place. 10/10 the owner is the kindest and works very hard. (Did I mention they have a massage chair for waiting)“

“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😒😒“

“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.“

“Loved the homemade ice cream and cookies! The attendant was super sweet as well. Highly recommend this place.“

“Hey I went here the other day with my nina and they happily swapped out my Boba for a better one that I had wished I chose before buying the one I already had. You dont get that type of customer service without getting charged again, nice little place to go and enjoy some bobas !“

“This was my first visit to this Meet Up Boba location, (I had previously only gone to their location by Long Beach Poly), after my wife and I drove by it, looking for some quick snacks. Thankfully, similar to their other locale, the variety available to order is quite extensive. And all very tasty and satisfying. For this visit here, I ordered the horchata shake while my wife ordered the peach and black tea. We then paired those drinks with an order of their crunchy chicken. The drinks were exquisite and the chicken was crunchy, delicious, and filling. While this locale is a bit farther for us than the locale by Poly, it's good to know that the quality of the drinks, food, and service are uniform across both locations.“

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

“Love all the bopomofo cafes, I have to go every time I visit SoCal and every friend / family member Ive brought loves it, they use the freshest ingredients and have cool seasonal items like a scallion pancake wrapped chicken supreme wrap, guava matcha. You cant go wrong with the pineapple chicken sandwich, the strawberry corn drink, the shrimp walnut sandwich, etc. I love this place so much, the chicken is always very juicy. The employees are so nice and this place has wifi and a nice work space. Its also nice for dates and has a chill vibe (saw some people having their first dates here)“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Nice vibes…………………..!!!!!!!“

“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“

“Cocoa cream wow 🤤 es delicioso 😋“

“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.“

“butter cookie coffee 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀“

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

“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!“

“I had the bugolgi rice bowl and it was so delicious. I love all the veggies they add to it. Portions are good too which is nice. Way better than waba grill or other similar places. Definitely worth coming back. I will be trying more items on the menu!“

“I did not order any drinks for myself but my son and spouse did and they were delicious. It wasn't crowded but there are limited seats. Cute things to buy I dislike those labubu sure you can get one here. I rather buy and did a small cute Keychain adorable Monchichi in a cosplay outfit. (Tom** and Jerry)“

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

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

“This is the place you want to go to if you want a boba. There’s So many options. Although, there is many options , I always get the same thing lol. I’ve been going there since 2017!
All the girls that work there are AMAZING and lovely !!! Alyssa is sincerely the best! As soon as she sees me walk in , she knows my order and is already making my order lol. The other girls know what I like as well lol. Now for the two guys that work there , they are honestly rude from time to time ,not always friendly nor welcoming. I feel a huge tension when they are there. The girls are what makes that place feel warm and nice and enjoyable. They deserve extra tips and a raise! 🖤🫶🏼🖤“

“The atmosphere when walking into Gong cha was surprisingly very pleasing and comfortable. There is plenty of sitting and music to enjoy the wait and your day if needed whenever. Alought the quality of the Boba drink(Brown sugar milk tea)was amazingly sweet and blanace to my liking 10/10. Plus side the employees were friendly and welcoming.

BOUNS: there is popmart items you could buy such as labubus,skull pandas, angel babys, and etc..( besides that totally recommended spot) 10/10
(Times visited 7-10pm 11-11:40)“

“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!“

“The drinks were very good healthy choice“

“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.“

“Hidden gem in Carson! This place is soo good! Obsessed with their drinks/lattes. Everything’s taste soo good but my favorite one is the Ube Taho Boba definitely reminded me of Philippines!

I also love they have soo many options to choose from coffee,matcha,tea,boba . Obsessed with the new hojica menu 🤎

Service is amazing! They did my drinks aesthetically pleasing and the staff were fast and very sweet.

The ambiance is nice, very relaxing plenty of seating and definitely good to hang and study. I will definitely come back here to try their other drink/lattes options.

What I got:
Pistachio Coffee
Taho with Taro Milk Tea Boba
Ube Matcha Latte
Hojicha Einspanner“

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

“I went to Tapioca Express in Alhambra on Monday the 15th around noon. I ordered a Thai Tea, which is personally my favorite! I usually order Thai Tea ever where I go because I can't get enough. Haha, The two people that were helping me were Jo and Steve or Steven, I didn't quite hear the other employee name but it's somewhere along those lines. They were super nice! Right when I walked in, I was greeted with "Welcome to Tapioca Express!" It made me feel very welcomed, which is a feeling everybody should feel when they walk into a store. Since I always order Thai Tea, I just wanted to take a look at the menu and see what other options they had. They offered me other drinks but I had to stay with my usual. I liked how they were so patient with me. The Thai Tea tasted amazing! The sugar was just perfect! I will be coming back! Thank you for being patient and having a great customer service!“

“it was my first time & it was amazing“

“Love this place customer service is great,food is great and not that pricey!I truly would recommend :)“

“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.“

“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!“

“Tastea is always a great choice when you want quality drinks and quick snacks. Their smoothies are delicious, but their milk teas are the real standout — especially the seasonal oolong flavor, which are easily some of the best. They also have tasty snacks like chicken nuggets and seasoned fries that are perfect if you need something filling on the go. Great drinks, good food, and consistently solid service every time.“

“😍Great Fresh Fruit Juice“

“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“

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

“We were hoping to try their tiramisu soufflé pancake but it wasn’t available. We tried the strawberry and ube instead. Flavor was decent, easy on the sugar. The pancakes were good, not too eggy. The place itself was quaint and comfortable. The service was pleasant, the food was cooked fresh.“

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

“Mannas the Shittt No Cappers“

“This place is a hidden gem. My favorite spot to go whenever I’m in the area.
I have yet to find a single item that didn’t hit the spot. The drinks and food are both perfect and there’s a great variety to pick from. Mark is the man!“

“Service is friendly and quick. Drinks are tasty and just the right amount of sweetness. I reccomend the Jasmine green milk tea with boba. You can substitute with Almond milk or oat milk as well for vegan friendly option. ♥️“

“Lee’s Barbecue is so good! The chow mein is very flavorful, but not salty, and everything tastes super fresh! From the meats to the veggies. Even the boba is bomb. Good prices and really friendly staff. Definitely one of the best spots! You guys have to try it!!“
