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 ^^“

“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.“

“Absolute hidden gem!!! They had excellent service with detailed instructions on how their menu worked, which I appreciated because there was a lot of new items I had never seen before. I love how you can customize drinks, and that all their jellies are made in house. The staff even offered me free samples of all the jellies since I was new. That was very kind and thoughtful. Every jelly tasted fresh and I even enjoyed some of the stranger options like their sesame jelly. I give this place four stars because there was no seating inside. I understand it’s a small space, but I think that would add to the charm and attract more customers. Other than that, this is an excellent establishment everyone should try!!❤❤❤“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“One of the cutest spaces I’ve ever been too. If you like taking photos with many cute backgrounds this is the place to go. This place has a great atmosphere and the temperature is perfect to stay inside to enjoy your drinks. I would recommend to come here and relax and enjoy some drinks.“

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

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

“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.“

“If you're looking for boba in Huntington Park, I highly recommend this place. The drinks are consistently great, and the service is incredibly friendly. The staff were so kind that it made me want to come back again. Whenever I'm in Huntington Park, this will definitely be my go to spot for boba!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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)“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“first time here today and already been there twice today with my family....protein shake,frappe,smoothie, refresher, sandwiches and most definitely the tacos SMACK!!! FIRE!!!! Dine in and play some games or take your order to go, dont sleep on this place like i did before today..“

“😍Great Fresh Fruit Juice“

“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 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀“

“Se ve muy limpio y el personal amable“

“Nice vibes…………………..!!!!!!!“

“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.“

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

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

“This donut shop has good reviews, so I went to check it out. They have a large selection of donuts, pastries, muffins, breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, fresh juices, and lotto tickets. The donuts were tasty as was the breakfast sandwich I ordered. This is definitely worth going to if you're in the area.“

“Mannas the Shittt No Cappers“

“Best boba place in town, consistent, strong tea flavored drinks and consistent boba. Matcha latte contains a good amount of matcha and is well worth it. They have a 10% sugar option that works because of the good tea flavor. Please don't change!“

“I really like this place. Super cute decorations inside. I only ever get the taro. It’s hard to find a place that serves vegan taro tea so I love that they don’t use dairy in theirs. I recently got my taro with no ice & no added sugar and it was absolute perfection.“

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

“I randomly stopped here last night, I never noticed place. Thank God, I got a house tea, (bomb)that already set up good vibes for my food. Chicken Chow Mein, and shrimp Fred rice.both good but chow mein was delicious tasted fresh flavorful I really enjoyed it my lil ones loved it. The woman in the counter was excellent she had such a beautiful persona they could have turned me away since it was close to closing , I took it to go. Great customer service I’d return for that alone it feels good spend your money were it’s appreciated.“

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

“Better tasting boba compared to the location in cerritos and delicious macroons. I got the specialty smootie milk and honey with mini boba and egg pudding. It tastes amazing. I wanted to try the Nutella and green tea macroons however they were sold out. I settled for the fruity pebble and I loved it.“

“This place is so nice! It's cute and got yummy drinks ~ I keep coming back here for the brown rice milk tea, but the watermelon green tea is so refreshing. While I wait, there's this display to look at blind boxes and a note area for fun ^^

I still have yet to try the desserts. However, I'm a bit sad the sesame, strawberry, and taro boba are no longer around. I hope they bring them back, even if it's for a seasonal period!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“The menu at Boba Time offers an impressive variety of options, from traditional milk teas to adventurous fruit smoothies and slushies. The banana matcha is a standout choice—the blend is smooth, flavorful, and surprisingly delicious.
​The staff is extremely friendly and remarkably patient, especially when dealing with kids and the indecision that often comes with a large menu. While the lines can get long, the efficient service and welcoming atmosphere make it a top tier local spot. The boba pearls are consistently chewy and fresh, and the ability to customize sweetness levels ensures every drink is exactly to your liking.“

“Love this Asian drinks and hotdog. yummy.“

“it was my first time & it was amazing“

“Came here while craving some caffeine-free late night boba and was pleasantly surprised with how great the Longan ginger goji berry drink was.

The guy helping me was super helpful and friendly. Drink came out super fresh (waited 8 minutes - as he mentioned). Super delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try other options!“

“shop workers are very nice and helpful. i originally went for photoism, but the cookies and cream boba slush that i bought was perfectly proportioned and well blended. the boba was warm and was not hard to chew. prices like these are so rare! (ps. paying with cash better than card)“

“I love this place. Great portions and great taste. I love the fact that they always have fresh food. They will ask if you want fresh food. Do not underestimate the drinks. They are delicious and at a great price. Love love this place. Best Chinese food around the area. Hands down.

And they have this fried chicken bites that is 😘chefs kiss. Ask for taste. They will let you sample the food.“
