50 Best Bubble Tea near San Marino

“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.“

“They definitely have some unique flavors to try, many of which I haven’t seen before in any other boba places. I really like the cassia milk tea
The prices though, are also higher than most other places. I paid $24 for 3 drinks, one of which was $8.65 (the popcorn milk tea with brown sugar tapiochi).
The drinks are good and the flavors can’t be found most other places, but I don’t personally think they’re over $8 worth it
I’d definitely only come rarely for an occasional indulgence“

“Stop the car.....this is a place you can't afford to pass by. The quality of the Boba is fantastic & yummy. The ambiance is so very quaint. The owner Kelli is very friendly. So do yourself a big favor and do not miss this place. Rene B“

“I stopped by Yin Yang Tea today for a Spam Wrap, and as always, it was delicious! Their teas are amazing, and the boba is always fresh—hands down some of the best around.

I also want to give a special shoutout to the owner. I see her almost every morning with her two little babies, and I truly admire her dedication and work ethic. Running a business is challenging on its own, and doing it while caring for two young children is incredible. She always greets customers with kindness and keeps the quality of her drinks and food consistent.

I highly recommend Yin Yang Tea. Great service, fresh ingredients, and an inspiring owner. 10/10!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Awesome drinks.. everyone must try“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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 🫶🏼☺“

“Didn't know what to expect first timer here but it was uh-mazing. Lots of unique flavor options and for those lactose-phobic folks out there, you can customize to fit your needs and sweetness levels. Also they have the traditional plastic top covers which lets you puncture the straw thru the top - LovE! Puncturing the top is half the fun!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Located inside LAX-C's plaza is ChaTraMue. It's the quintessential Thai tea joint from Thailand. It was established in 1945 and has been trusted for over 80 years.

They have a variety drinks, but they're famous for the very popular Thai iced tea. I opted for the Thai Tea Slushee, my wife the Original Thai Tea and my daughter the Sala Milk.

For the Thai tea, we opted for 70% sweetness and it was still very sweet. We'll have to try the next one down which is 30% next time we're in the area. The Original Thai Tea would've been perfect if it wasn't so sweet and same goes for the slushee. I felt that if it was less sweet, it would be perfect. Ill have to ask if I can bring down the sweetness of the slushee the next time I'm there. As for the Sala Milk, it was a hard no for everyone. I've never had this before - even in Thailand. Unfortunately, my daughter took a sip and was done with it.

Definitely will come back to try other flavors and adjust the sweetness levels of our drinks. Don't forget to grab yourself some tins of tea to take home and make in the comfort of your home!“

“Best Mango Green Tea in SoCal 🤓“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“I'm the type of person who loves sweet teas but unfortunately, I have to cut back on sweet stuff and it's been so hard going out and finding a refreshing drink that isn't filled with sugar. I also hate being the kind of customer that gives cashiers/barristas a hard time. But the two people that were working here today were super patient and went out of their way to accommodate my annoying needs. The tea ended up with the perfect sweetness that was refreshing and safely sedated my craving. Thank you so much. 💓 My husband and I truly appreciate it.“

“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.“

“I don't consider myself as their regular customer, but I think they deserve 5 stars. Why? Because my favorite which is brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba always being made just about how I wanted it. That is the only thing that matters to me. It is just a boba shop anyway, what else do you expect ??“

“Heard good things about their drinks so finally tried it while I was in the area. I ordered through the Hungry Panda app since they had a coupon that made it cheaper or else it would be kind of pricey. I ordered the Cheesy Mango Smoothie with less sweet. They have a small storefront with only two or three tables so it's more of a grab and go boba store.

The drink was ready in around 5 minutes and it was super easy to pick up. I really liked the drink. The blended mango smoothie tasted very fresh and not artificial. And the taste of mango and cheese foam goes so well together. I can see why cheese foam is so popular with fruit smoothies.

I will be back again to try their other fruit drinks!“

“This is such a great drink/dessert spot! The drinks here are unique and have great flavors with real fruit, taro, yucca, or special seasonal fruit. We loved the papaya coconut slushy with jelly and fresh papaya. The Dubai cracking chocolate with the pistachio slush is so fun to crack and a perfect sweet treat. The mango pomelo sago was fruity and creamy and taro mochi milk tea had good tea flavor. The homemade mashed taro and taro balls and popcorn chicken remind of Taiwan. They have plenty of seating and character friends too!“

“What a great spot! I frequently stop by to get a smoothie or shake, they’re all very good! If you’re with a dog, there’s a convenient walk up counter to order from, and be sure to order a pup cup for your doggie! Love how dog friendly My Friends Cafe is 🥰“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“This place is a must stop if you are within an hour’s drive. Fire Bunny is sweet milk drink with creme brûlée topping. And Thai iced tea soft serve served with fresh hot boba?! Yes please!“

“Recommended by my partner during our date on a hot day, this boba shop is located in the back of a plaza in SGV, although a moderate size parking lot, it can fill out pretty quickly. The shop is small with no tables, only benches inside & outside, it could get pretty cramped in the shop since it was pretty busy when we arrived.

It's always nice to have a boba shop that has kiosk ordering & ordering via register. They have plentiful of menu options including specialties in oolong teas. Cups are a huge factor for me when reviewing drink shops and Chun Yang Tea is definitely on the higher quality side of cups. They're sturdy, cute design, and no spills.

My partner and I waited about 15 minutes for our drink during peak hours which is pretty quick. Highly recommend to order online ahead of time to skip waiting times.“

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

“A new tea shop opening in a crowded SGV, my wife and I visited for their grand opening weekend and we were pretty happy with the experience. Staff here for opening weekend were efficient and quick for the amount of people visiting.

There's self order kiosks as well as ordering with the cashier up front. Seating is limited but just enough for a small cafe I'd say. It's more of a grab and go spot rather than a hangout spot. Inside is pretty spacious though, mostly walking space with small tables and a wall bench. It's also pretty clean and modern. Love the tan color lighting as well as the counter design.

Their menu design is pretty big but not too big. They put a drink cup logo next to the drink options that are popular and my favorites go to the Honey Amber Oolong Milk Tea which happens to be one of their most popular drinks as well. It's refreshing and not too overwhelming. Highly recommend trying this drink.

Overall, definitely a spot that my wife and I will visit again. Their cups are definitely social media worthy as well which is nice. Sturdy cups + cute design = excellent quality.“

“Apparently This is the SPOT for Thai tea. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. Service was amazing and I got their large green Thai tea and added jiggly soft grass jelly to it. New butterfly pea milk tea which comes with basil seeds and added some silky pudding to it. And refreshing Thai tea slush that came with some creamy cheese foam. All the drinks were perfectly sweet, warmly spiced, and pretty much just tasted like your good old classic Thai teas. Overall this place was lowkey pretty good.

Green Thai tea $6.75 +$0.75 grass jelly
Butterfly pea milk tea $6.50 +$0.75 pudding
Thai tea slush $6.95“

“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!“

“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!“

“I have one word...tasty!!!“

“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!“

“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🏅🏅🏅“

“Good prices got me inside.
Good drink quality.
XL drink size available.
Nice place.
I love the Pokemon theme.
Plenty of parking on this side of the shopping plaza!!!
Okay seating quantity.
Average seating quality.

I will definitely come back.“

“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!“

“I went crazy because they have a lot of things here, but they specifically shake something 17 times here’s what you should know… Number one everything is super delicious here so it gets really easy to become addicted to it

I had to do the Matcha latte with pistachio cheese foam. I went less ice and I went crème brûlée on the flavor of the foam and it was delicious. This is way too good. The ordering is simple. It’s a touchscreen process. You’ll be issued a number and you will not regret those drinks!!“

“Boban joy

This place looks super fun. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. They have claw machines, a Photo Booth, a grandma jacket my grandma liked, cool daily deals, and plenty of drinks and snacks. I got their pistachio and mango milk teas, loaded cream carbonara buldak, and Dubai chocolate strawberries to try. While I was waiting for my food me and my grandma had a bunch of fun taking some photos in the Photo Booth. I got the pistachio milk tea with some jiggly soft egg pudding and the milk tea had good sweet, nutty, vanillay, pistachio flaves with lots of actual pistachio bits blended in. Would’ve actually preferred if there weren’t any bits. The mango milk tea was really good and had mango purée, was perfectly sweet, milky, smooth and fruity. I added gooey hot Cheetos corn cheese and flavorful salty soy garlic popcorn chicken nuggets to the buldak to make it loaded and it had perfectly springy noodles, was a bit spicy and oily, and had plenty of salty savory cheesey flaves with sweet pops of corn. The popcorn chicken and hot Cheetos did kinda soggy too tho. The Dubai choco strawberrries MNM. Rich, thick, creamy, sweet, smooth, nutty Nutella and pistachio butter with crispity crunchy kataifi all cut by fresh, tart, sweet strawberries. Perfectly balanced, refreshing and pure deliciousity. Overall this place is a great fun friend hangout spot and is lowkey pretty good.

Mango milk tea $6.15
Pistachio milk tea $6.15
+egg pudding $1
Soy garlic popcorn chicken $11.35
Hot Cheetos corn cheese $8.35
Cream carbo buldak $6.35“

“This Sunright location has been a solid spot in my boba rotation for years. It's quite a small shop with no seating, just a place to order and go. They have two self ordering kiosks at the back which is great especially when it's busy. However, I'd always prefer to order online anyways to remove any wait time at all.

Interior is pretty clean and staff is pretty quick, parking is plentiful, street parking and parking lot in the back.

My go to drinks here is always the oreo brulee and the white peach milk teas. Both are very refreshing and always delciious regardless of weather. It can get a bit sweat for the oreo brulee but a sugar adjustment does the trick. I like that their cups are one of the more higher quality feel than other shops. Simple design yet modern and classic at the same time. The bottom is sturdy but has a round outer layer, very unique as other shops don't have that style.

Overall, great drinks, extensive menu, and options for all kinds of tea lovers. They have other locations as well but this location is one that's been around for a long time, very consistent for the most part. Keep a look out for events they do on social media and also recommend downloading the Toast app to collect points.“

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

“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!!!“
