50 Best Bubble Tea near Monrovia

“Not really a Boba fanatic but came here with some friends and had some refreshing and ultra delicious Taro Tea with Boba. It was so chilled and yummy that I will definitely come back as well as on Tuesdays as they have some size-up deal. They make their own Boba! Quality and taste is tops🏅🏅🏅“

“First time stoped by after getting my hair done. Beautiful inside and great customer service. Ordered there new drink a watermelon lemonade with lychee so refreshing.“

“Great environment, staff and drinks, and they help support local small businesses. Great place to be!“

“Tried this place for the first time since I was in the area. Got a brown sugar milk tea with boba. The tea was good and not too sweet. Boba was nice and chewy. I like that I was able to order online and just pick it up. Would come back here again!“

“A cozy private owned boba shop with a variety of drink options. Tried Haicha High Mountain tea (cold) and Haicha milk tea with boba (cold). Both tea tastes flagrant and sweet even though there was no sugar added! The shop owner is very friendly. He doesn’t push for you to try anything additional. I saw the sesame snack and had to ask and buy some. Not too sweet! Would definitely come back to get the same drinks and more.“

“Surprisingly spacious inside! They do have a rear lot, but street parking is probably your best bet. It’s definitely more of a social hangout than a quiet study spot, but the layout works well. Despite the crowd, service was efficient, I had my two drinks in less than 10 minutes. The peach oolong was a pleasant surprise and better than expected.“

“BEYOND 5 STARS The Owner Is So Nice Friendly Humble And Hardworking You Have To Come And Get Your REFRESHING DRINK TODAY TOMMOROW AND THE WHOLE SUMMER GREAT PRICES HERE REMEMBER TO GIVE THEM YOUR NUMBER SO YOU CAN GET POINTS AND LEAVE A GREAT REVIEW!! 😊“

“Happily stumbled across this cozy boba shop on accident. The staff will treat you very friendly and you’ll receive a high quality drink. I’m just not sure if it’s always that cold in there or what the purpose of that would be, but it was definitely noticeable during my brief visit“

“High quality milk green tea with one of the freshest bobas I’ve tasted in a while.
Most importantly, great value for this quality! #bangforyourbuck

Environment & vibe fun, cozy, & positive! Staff are friendly, offer free samples; I loved it all.“

“Delicious 🤤 got three drinks and all amazing. Highly recommend l!“

“Awesome drinks.. everyone must try“

“Love this place love the meets they host the drinks are really good and so is the tofu“

“popcorn chicken is tasty and the shaved ice is delicious. will come back“

“Best Honey Green tea in all Southern CA. Actually, better than the ones in Taiwan. They spare no cost in using only the best quality tea and ingredients. Once you tried theirs, you can’t go to other places anymore. Many of their bread like the red bean bun is a must try and the birthday cakes are always freshly made daily and not too sweet. They also have full sheet part tray fruit cake that are cut into 96 slices, best for large parties or events. Highly underrated and a hidden gem!“

“Best Milk Tea spot that makes custom drinks for the rest of my crew! Very Chill Place for people who enjoy cars and Cards! 100/10
Bring your Family and Friends too while ur at it reading my Review 🫶🏼☺“

“Only got take out so can't comment on the service but my interaction told me it is about what you can expect from most places in SGV. Don't judge this place by its cover. Food is really well made. This is going to be my go to place for dumpling and Beijing pie takeout.“

“I had a Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea with no ice and level 1 (of 5) sweetness. I really enjoy freshly brewed milk tea (freshly brewed after order is placed) compared to milk tea prepared with tea that was brewed well in advance, had been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long, and used only after the order is placed. I definitely recommend to try their boba tea.“

“Beautiful Design and great Boba 🧋 the best is the Hawaiian 🌺fruit drink 🍹“

“Love it ever since I found about this place. Love that the wall is filled with anime & sometimes band logos drawings & stickers on their counter. Like the mango & peach icy (slushie). Buy one & get one free!!“

“And they were having a promotion where if I leave a review, I get a free drink so I’m grateful for that. The tea was good. There was only a little bit of miscommunication with customizing a drink and they make you do the review before they give you the drink so other than that I will definitely come back.“

“Great boba chain with consistent drink quality. I visited the store near Lunar new year time and was given red envelopes with mu purchase. I went to pick up my fav drinks with them, which are mango pomelo sago and winter melon milk tea with grass jelly!“

“El Monte doesn’t have too many good boba spots, but Ono Tea House is a decent option. Prices here are a little lower than most places, which is nice.

The tea itself is just okay — not super strong — and the drinks can lean on the sweeter side. I usually order mine with 1/4 sugar since I don’t like them too sweet.

Overall, it’s not a spot I’d go out of my way for, but if you’re in El Monte and really craving boba, it does the job.“

“✨ Location
This fairly new boba spot is located in West Covina, right on the corner of Glendora Ave and E Service Ave. I believe it opened around two years ago, so it still feels pretty fresh and new to the area.

🅿️ Parking
Parking was pretty convenient. There is street parking available, and there is also a small parking lot in the back for the building’s tenants.

🏠 Interior / Atmosphere
The shop itself looks bright, clean, and inviting. It has big shop signs, sofas, and a few cute spots where you can take pictures. From what I heard, they also host K-pop gatherings from time to time, which gives the place a fun and unique vibe.

🙋 Service
The staff were friendly, interactive, and easy to talk to. They answered my questions with helpful information and made the experience feel welcoming.

🧋 Drinks
I ordered the Guanyin milk tea, which was recommended to me after I mentioned that I prefer a stronger tea flavor. It was a good recommendation, and I enjoyed that the tea taste came through well. Even though I ordered 100% sugar, the drink did not taste overly sweet, which I appreciated.

⭐ Overall
Overall, I had a good experience here. I would personally rate this place around a 4.3 to 4.7, but because the staff were so interactive and welcoming with customers, I would give them a 5. Keep it up!!“

“Stopped by a small boba spot in La Puente and it turned out to be a hidden gem. The drinks were fresh, not overly sweet, and the boba had that perfect chewy texture—exactly how it should be.

What really stood out though was the service. The lady who helped us was amazing with my kids—super patient, kind, and made the whole experience even better.

The place itself is simple, clean, and has a chill vibe. Definitely one of those spots you want to come back to. If you’re in La Puente and craving boba, it’s worth checking out and supporting local.“

“This is my first time coming here from Michigan to California. I love the popcorn chicken! The popcorn chicken is going to be my new craving that I'll miss when I leave California. Even my toddler who usually is picky, is enjoying it. I would recommend the popcorn chicken!“

“Fresh fruit, handcrafted toppings, and drinks you won’t find anywhere else?🍊🥥🧋 Say less.

If you’re looking for your next boba spot, Lucky FruiTea in San Gabriel needs to be on your list. They specialize in premium tea drinks made with fresh, seasonal fruit and creative flavors that stand out from the usual menu.

Here’s what I tried:
🍫 Cracking Dubai Chocolate Slushy (Top 10) – rich, chocolatey, and topped with crunchy chocolate goodness.
🥭 Papaya Coconut Slushy (seasonal) – tropical, creamy, and super refreshing.
🍑 Creamy White Peach Milk Tea (Top 10) – smooth, fragrant, and perfectly peachy.
🫐 Fresh Lychee Slushy – packed with real lychee flavor and incredibly refreshing.

Don’t skip the snacks either! The Popcorn Chicken is crispy, juicy, and the perfect savory pairing for your drinks. And if you’re craving dessert, the Mashed Taro Oolong Milk Tea Gelato is creamy, earthy, and absolutely worth ordering.“

“usually, this place is so good. It’s like my go to spot for banana Matcha and brown sugar Boba…. Like it’s always 10 out of 10 that’s why I’m giving it a four but today… apr 12… The Matcha was like watered down and not that sweet and the Boba was not cooked all the way through…. All I’m gonna say is stop hiring teenagers… When the older ones are working, the spot is literally a 10 out of 10.. It’s always when they have new hires. The order gets messed up.“

“Ever since this Tea Spots (Azusa/Amar) opened my 2 daughters and I have been enjoying everything this establishment has to offer. I would suggest that most people if not all should try one time n u 2 would be hooked too. Their Milk Tea with black boba / fresh fruit smoothies, ices with fruit and can’t forget their delicious menu. They have healthy food and fried food like baked sweet potatoes fries and dinner plates also ramen bowls. They have 5$ 7$ n 9$ individual plates that are delicious. We have had most of their food and it has all been very umpslish. Try it yourself u will not be disappointed. EA“

“Really good drinks! Super fresh and well-balanced, not too sweet and not watered down. The tea flavor is strong and high quality.

Highly recommend the black tea ice cream — really fragrant and not too sweet. Definitely coming back again.“

“The store is bright and fun. Staffs are young with joyful smile. Of course the drinks are great which bring the happy day.“

“X Tea Cafe is definitely my favorite tea shop lately! The brown sugar boba milk tea is rich in tea flavor with just the right amount of sweetness, and the boba is perfectly chewy and soft — absolutely delicious. The shop is clean and bright with a cozy atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and chat with friends. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Highly recommend to anyone who loves high-quality tea drinks!“

“Recommended to us by a local restaurant owner, we took a drive over to try them out. They have an amazing fresh fruit selection (including persimmon, which I hadn’t seen before) like strawberry and watermelon (which is one of my favorites).

We like them so much we’ve made the 20 minute drive several times already during our short stay. The drinks seem to run a little sweet so I make the less sugar option. They seem to automatically add a jelly to the drink (at least the several we’ve ordered).

Overall this place is great and highly recommended“

“When am pm coffee won't do and you only want quality coffee then this spot will satisfy your caffeine urge“

“This Horchata boba 🧋 is delicious 🤤! The service is awesome, long lines but well worth it 🤤“

“We got cheesy hot Cheetos dog and mozzarella & hotdog. It was so good! Cheesy, crunchy, and such a perfect snack. I seriously wanted to get one more but somehow stopped myself lol.
Definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for good snack also with boba.“

“Ming Cha is known for teas, and I feel like their logo is very similar to that of Chagee a bit. What I really enjoyed here was the black sesame dessert. I would come back just for that!

You order from a kiosk so you don’t really interact with the server.

Parking is plentiful. No bathrooms. Credit card/Apple pay is accepted. Not much seating in here.“

“I don’t come across many boba shops that serve Four Season Tea—let alone a really good one. I ordered it with coconut jelly, and it was incredibly refreshing and well-balanced, especially perfect for a hot noon day. The tea is light, smooth, and fragrant, with a clean finish that isn’t too bitter or overpowering. The coconut jelly adds just the right touch—slightly sweet and refreshing—giving it a nice texture without taking away from the tea.

It’s simple, but done really well. On a warm day when I want something cooling but not too heavy, this is definitely my go-to!“

“Giving this a 5 star rating all around although the guy at the register wasn’t necessarily the friendliest however I can admit he seemed like a hard worker, he was at the register then the back making our order so it’s ok. Everyone there seemed to be having an amazing time hanging out. My husband and I were just in the area and decided to check out the nearest boba place and I’m glad we landed here (wink), hubby got a Thai tea, I know he’s so basic lol and I got the pink peach tea both with boba. I would definitely order my drink again, so delicious. We also got the honeydew yogurt squares and omggg I def recommend them I wish I would have gotten atleast another flavor to try.“

“Really nice service and very yummy boba! We ordered the strawberry matcha and butterfly coconut and they both were delicious. I needed mine without dairy but forgot to ask, she graciously offered to remake it for me at no extra charge. Thank you!“

“The Spring Oolong Tea Milk Tea was perfect for me with its sugar adjustment. I can taste the actual tea; no powder involved. The shop itself is small and very cute. Support your local businesses! 10/10 would recommend to a friend! The tea is good.“

“This place got some new drinks. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their new choco strawberry frosty and strawberry Hokkaido milk tea to try. The frosty had an icy, rich, deeply chocolatey base with a creamy, tangy, cheesey strawberry foam. Legit a desert drink. My fave was definitely the strawberry Hokkaido milk tea tho. Very floral, milky, and sweet, with plenty of jiggly strawberry jellies. Overall these were lowkey pretty good.

$7.25 frosty
$6.50 milk tea“

“Great fruit drink and milk tea“

“Neighbors Tea House offers the most exception beverages and sweet treats, like their Smashed Avocado and Durian and soy pudding. I’m still making my way through their menu but there hasn’t been anything I’ve ordered that I didn’t wish I ordered a large of. Their team is exceptional, especially during COVID. You can order online to expedite your experience. Be sure to say hi to Hailey, the owner, who always comes up with these amazing beverages. Will definitely be back!“

“Nice little spot for boba. Sunright has always been our go to place for boba. I’m just glad that this location has the taro milk tea boba that I’ve been missing since the one by house does not make them anymore. Yummy!!! Craving satisfied!!!“

“My family and I frequent here quite often and every single time, the drinks were on point! Thai tea, Thai-chata, strawberry vortex, pineapple escape, milky way taro, polar pomegranate are just a few that I've tried and would recommend but everything including food is so good. Their customer service is also great! Always a pleasant experience for us. We've "cheated" and have gone to other boba places when traveling but it's not the same. Twisteas definitely has our loyalty!“

“customer service and delicious tea ! love this place!“

“our best nights here in jin teahouse great location convenient friendly staff and best place to hangout with your friends and also great best place for dates.... its actually they good selection of food most recommended place...“

“I have been coming here for multiple times for their drinks and so far I love it!
It is a small place for a boba shop but it is a pretty good place to chill when the place is not crowded. The servers are very nice and patient when you are ordering your drinks. The place in general are clean, even with the restroom.
The drinks are fantastic in my opinion, no matter what sweetness level you are going for. My personal favorite/ to-go are the rose cream foam milk tea or formosa ocean. Trust me, I think you will like them if you are a sweet tooth-er or Rose lover. (Good looking drinks for pictures too!)
Try their origanal flavored Formosa Umeyaki too! They are not only pretty for pictures, but crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, specifically when they are freshly made. Great desserts matching with your drinks!“

“I liked the fresh boba made from scratch on-site. Although the menu is small, if you’re looking for good brown sugar boba, this is the spot. I got a matcha oolong with less ice and 75% sugar. A nice surprise there wasn’t an extra price for no ice like how Half and Half does.“

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