50 Best Bubble Tea near Marina Del Rey

“Good crepes; only take out window is open but good service pretty fast. Thumbs up 👍.“

“...so we ended up here after dinner and honestly needed something sweet to close out the night... the milk tea I got was smooth and creamy and the tapioca pearls had this perfect bounce to them... not mushy at all which is always a relief... the girl at the counter was really patient when I couldn't decide between flavors and just gave me a genuine suggestion instead of rushing me... the space itself felt calm... a few other people sitting around but not loud or cramped... just nice lighting and tables that felt clean... honestly the whole vibe made me want to linger longer than I expected... ended up sipping slowly and not wanting it to be over... flavor was balanced too... not that artificial sweetness you get at some spots... just tasted like real tea with the right amount of milk!!“

“Customer Service 5/5 Food / Snack 5/5 -generous serving Boba- 5/5 Travelled from Adelaide,SA to LA and will come back for it again.“

“I ordered the 22 TW Champion Milk Tea with brown sugar boba, and I absolutely loved it!
Using red oolong instead of the usual black tea gives the drink a unique depth of flavor that’s smooth, fragrant, and not overly sweet. The brown sugar boba had the perfect chewy texture and paired beautifully with the tea.
Overall, it’s a fantastic drink in a great location, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu.“

“best Boba and coffee beverages!! not super sweet... staff always friendly and the shop is beyond immaculate“

“Project Bloom Coffee is a charming little spot with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The pastries and drinks looked fresh and appealing, and the friendly service made the visit even more enjoyable. A lovely place to unwind, grab a coffee, and indulge in something sweet.“

“I ordered one of their award winning Milk teas with boba and it was good. Not sure if it’s worth the nine bucks as I’ve had better boba, but the milk tea was smooth and I requested for 10% sugar with was amazing. The staff was friendly and welcoming!“

“Really good, but the hours are super inconsistent to the point where it’s honestly extremely annoying. At this point, I’ve started going to other places where the matcha isn’t quite as good, but at least I know they’ll actually be open.“

“Hot day. We had a relax time with amazing tea!!!“

“I love coming here each visit I make. The teas they use is of much better quality than other Boba locations. And their prices are proportional to what you get. A large in any boba Utah shop is Tea Station’s regular size, and mostly made of ice and sugar. You can’t taste any tea. I highly recommend visiting this location if you want to actually taste tea in your boba.“

“I wasn't having the best day when I walked into Boba Sound in Koreatown. I was frustrated, irritated, and honestly just not in a great mood. The moment I walked in, however, I was welcomed by Kelly, whose smile was as bright as a cloudless morning sun.

Kelly was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and gave excellent recommendations. I ended up trying the honeydew smoothie with lychee jelly, and it was absolutely delicious—I highly recommend that combination.

What made this visit special wasn't just the drink. Within a couple of minutes of interacting with Kelly, my entire attitude and outlook had changed. Her kindness, charisma, and genuine thoughtfulness made me feel seen and appreciated. She seemed to sense I wasn't having the best day and went out of her way to make the experience better. She even gave me the little bit of smoothie that was left in the blender, which was such a simple but thoughtful gesture.

Great customer service can completely change someone's day, and that's exactly what happened here. I'll definitely be coming back—not just for the amazing smoothies, but for the outstanding service and welcoming atmosphere.

If I'm anywhere near the area, Boba Sound will be one of my stops. Kelly deserves recognition for the exceptional experience she provided. Five stars isn't enough—I would gladly give 20 stars if that were an option.“

“EXTRA SPICY IS EXTRA SPICY. Please be careful. Also beware of boba pearls clumping together if you don't move it around enough. Great strong tea flavor, great+fast service, chicken is crispy. Clean bathrooms.

Update: Staff was extraordinarily kind to give me ice water when I was dying from spice.“

“We’ve been here twice now, once during their soft opening and again this past weekend. We stumbled upon it by accident while in Sawtelle, and it’s apparently a very popular chain.

Most drink spots usually have just a couple of standout items that end up being overly sugary or one-note, but I’ve been genuinely impressed with Jam Jam. We ordered 4 different drinks, and every single one tasted distinct, balanced, and fantastic in its own way. They don’t just look great for photos; the flavors are genuinely amazing.

The space itself is clean, modern, and comfortable to hang out in. Unlike a lot of drink spots in Sawtelle, it doesn’t get overwhelmingly loud, making it actually enjoyable to sit down and relax. Ordering through the self-checkout kiosks keeps things efficient, letting the staff fully focus on making drinks quickly.

Easily my current favorite drink spot in the area for both the variety and the overall vibe.“

“On the scale of Boba, Black Sugar lives in the fresh ingredients and healthier side without being fussy and still feeling like classic boba tea. Both the boba itself and their tea and flavors are high quality and the inclusion of coconut milk as an option makes for some wonderfully rich drinks. I do wish there was an almond milk option for lighter drinks but that’s my only complaint.“

“I enjoy getting drinks from Figure 8 Tea Project. They are Good but their Prices are a Little Expensive. But they have a Point Card if you fill out 9 you will get a Free Drink. There Services is Good. They ask you if you want your Sweetness Level and if they want you to add Boba or Other Topping for your drink. So I recommend if you want a Good & Refreshing Drink. But I only go there for once a Month.“

“i absolutely love this place. The owners are super sweet and the food is DDDEEELLISSHH!“

“Cute pho spot! Delicious food w great service! Their sweatshirt are dope too!“

“What is there not to love about Alfred Coffee of WeHo! 😊“

“First time trying this boba spot after seeing a tiktok about it. I definitely recommend it! The oreo milk tea is really good and so is their chocolate cheesecake! Cheesecake was a little dry and the picture made it seem like there was a lot of chocolate on the bottom layer but there wasn't for mine. Either way, I would eat it again and come back!“

“We found this place by accident and decided to try some açaí right away and I’m so glad we did. I have to say. if you’re looking for a real Brazilian superfood açaí experience, you’re going to love this place. It’s one of the best açaí bowls I’ve had outside of Brazil. The staff is very friendly, and on top of that, you can choose unlimited toppings. Highly recommend!“

“I don’t understand why this restaurant doesn’t have 5 stars!!! I mean, the food was very good, the ambience was beautiful and specially the customer service!! I don’t know the name of the guy and sorry about that I didn’t ask it, but I think you’ll know who we are. The girl in a purple dress and the guy with green sueter. We asked for ramen and poke bowl and they comes with very very delicious appetizers and boba drinks !! Like what ??? Really really amazing!! And honestly I’m soooo strict with customer service and this guy was really amazing!! Give him an increase in his salary!!
Thanks again for everything. I’ll definitely come back again.“

“Sunny Blue is the best! Can’t recommend it enough. All of the omusubis are amazing, but the salmon is my favorite. It’s also one of the most affordable spots on Main Street. And don’t skip the mochi — it’s SO good!“

“Leider waren die Besitzer nicht da Hätte gerne mit Ihnen ein bisschen gequatscht😏“

“Always so clean and available. I love how they roast their own coffee beans and have a variety to choose from. Telhe owners are passionate about their roasting and product which is truly admirable. There are plenty of nearby coffee shops but they dont focus on the artistry of bean roasting and brewing which this place does. They have affordable coffee beans too!! And the beans make a great crema when I pull shots of espresso at home. So rewarding“

“delicious amazing boba so many flavors yum! hazelnut is my favorite its soooooo good“

“Excellent service 👍👍👍 Love this place ..“

“the lady who works here was very sweet and this vibey lil shop provided me a safe space to sit indoors while waiting for my Playground classes across the street. seriously thank God for this spot.
Highly recommend the jasmine lemonade, i wish i could ship some home!“

“These guys handled the ffxiv collab bumrush pretty well I'd say. Professional and fast service, interpreted the collab rules correctly too and didn't give anyone a hard time. Feels like their medium is a bit on the smaller side though, I finished in like 3 sips.“

“Summer just got a whole lot sweeter! ShareTea's new Red Crush Series is officially here, and it's the perfect refreshing treat for the season. I tried Watermelon Passion Oolong Tea and love it! Stop by your local Sharetea and try these limited-time flavors before they're gone!

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

“First heard of this place through social media and had a lot of hype due to the brand being popular in South Korea. If you love brown sugar or croffles, this is the place to go!

Interior is super cute and spacious, a lot of tables and seats with a small arcade with a LIFE4CUTS booth on the side. A nice extra to the space. I've seen many events that are held here because of how big the space is.

The cafe is located in the front of the plaza, down the stairs of the front of the plaza, easy to spot but at the same time, hard to look for at the same time because of where its located. Parking is free if not staying over 90 minutes and can be validated by HHD staff.

HHD menu is massive, many options to try. The spot is very popular on the weekends and late afternoons. Kiosk ordering is available but the kiosk is a bit slow, unresponsive, and not programmed correctly compared to other cafes. Wait times can get long especially when busy and depending on order, but staff is super friendly and professional.

From the recommendations, their Dalgona & brown sugar is definitely a must try. Although a bit sweet even with lower adjustments, the tea is refreshing on a hot day. Aside from the signature drinks, the Matcha Strawberry Latte is also super refreshing and mixes really well together.

Will definitely be back to try the croffles and the numerous other options in the menu.“

“This review is a shoutout to Frankie. Even though it was super busy, she took the time to chat w a little girl, asked her about school, tested her a math question and asked her name. Great customer service Frankie! I hope the owner sees how you go out of your way to make customers feel seen and appreciated!“

“Natasha was such a good help when I came in so indecisive she helped me decide what to order. She answered all my questions about the menu items and helped me narrow down my selection. Has amazing customer service and wad so kind and friendly when helping me out.“

“Beat boba milk tea. 😀😀😀😀“

“I absolutely love their blended menu, especially the Thai tea and Matcha! The best part is their cream and also how they blended it— it’s just how I like it!

This is hands down my favorite for all the boba shops I’ve tried in Gardena! 🫶🏻🧋✨“

“Straw & Spoon on Artesia is a great spot to meet up with friends for boba or açaí in Redondo Beach. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, with two swing chairs inside and Edison bulb string lights & blue sails over the tables outside. It was very clean, and the staff were super friendly. You can either order from a screen or directly with the cashier, which I recommend if it’s your first time or if you have questions. They have a restroom for customers, and there is also free parking in the connected lot, and I appreciate that convenience.

I asked if they have any drinks without syrups/sugar, and they recommended their iced tea. I went with the Four Season Iced Green Tea with no sugar & regular ice, and since it is a boba spot I added the Lychee Coconut Jellies. The jellies went perfectly with the iced green tea, and it was a balanced and refreshing beverage, with hints of rose and a delightful lychee flavor and even a similar lychee texture. I also enjoyed the quality of their plastic cups and selection of large colorful straws - you get to select your favorite color.

They let us eat our sushi from Yanagi Kitchen in the plaza along with our boba drinks, and it was a perfect combo. I will definitely be back!“

“Milksha just opened at the start of this month and it is an above average drink shop, but not top notch. Coming from someone who knows the boba scene in the LA/Westwood area, this place doesn’t necessarily warrant the 20-30 minute wait for it. Jasmine Green Tea latte was smooth and the right sweetness amount. Ordering was smooth and vibes in the store were chill.“

“So beautiful. I walked here from the hospital Cedar Sini. This was my 3rd coffee shop because I was looking for Matcha Latte unsweetened. Im so happy I found this. Because its a breat of fresh air. The customer service was great. Sweet people. If you want a break from the hospital with delicious coffee and Matcha. This is the spot. Get your steps in. Very close.“

“One of our favorite boba 🧋 tea shop. Most of the time we order online and just pick up. parking is always a hassle in this plaza. Always some reason it’s very crowded but after our online order, never took more than 10 minutes friendly Service.“

“This place’s menu is so diverse; there’s literally something for everyone. I wish I lived close so I could try out all their drinks. I ordered the strawberry milk with brown sugar boba because it said it was new and I’ve never had banana milk before so why not try a strawberry version of it while on vacation?

The boba was perfectly chewy and cooked just right. The milk itself was creamy and flavorful. The size was a little small for the price, but it was ready rather quickly, so that was nice. I liked how you could order at a kiosk.“

“BOG, Wa Sai Watermelon, Strawberry Basil Ginger Lemonade!“

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

“Great place. Great energy. Highly recommended.!!“

“The slushies are good & refreshing and the Taiyaki are hot off the press and yummy!!! 😋😋😋“

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

“The drinks and pastries are DELICIOUS!!
Everything tastes fresh and yummy.
Their customer service is excellent.
The place is clean and welcoming.
Parking could be better ( we just have to be patient if it’s full ) a space usually opens up fairly quickly.
I highly recommend this place!!
Thank you so much“

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

“Delicious, friendly and reasonable price. strongly recommended.“

“Very tasty boba and had a great chicken salad sandwich. Owner is very kind as well.

EDIT: It seems like the place has cloed down :( Sad as my girlfriend and I loved to come here for the boba, and the lady at the front was always so kind.“

“We had time to kill so we stopped here for a couple of boba tea drinks. It wasn’t crowded so we got our drinks and found a table. Many customers ordered “to-go” drinks so we didn’t feel pressured to vacate our seats. There are street parking (metered) nearby. I would definitely return to this tea joint next time I am in the area.“
