30 Best Bubble Tea near Santa Monica

“First discovered musabi’s in Hawaii and was excited to find this spot in Santa Monica. The shop is small with no seating, but the food is the real draw. Great selection, fresh and flavorful, and perfect for a quick snack. Love the Santa Monica vibe, a fun place to grab a bite before heading to the beach“

“I am so surprised by the customer service I received at Sharetea. I went in the evening of the 4th of July. The guys working there were cleaning and when I walked in, they immediately stopped to help me. I asked one of the guys about almost everything on the menu and he kindly answered all of my questions. After I finally selected what I wanted, he made it, and I thought that it was too sweet. He helped me out by giving me some more tea to dilute the sweetness and I immediately spilled it all over the counter. He very kindly cleaned it up and told me not to worry about it. I felt so bad, but he assured me that it was okay. Long story short, their customer service was excellent and they were so kind despite all of that. Also, once I got the right level of sweetness, it was delicious. I highly recommend them!“

“5/5! Great service, awesome environment and Tasty drinks all the time! I definitely recommend the Peach black tea with 50% sugar and lychee jelly, I get that all the time and it has the right amount of sugar not to much and so refreshing when I want something other than soda. Also cheaper than what I expected which amazing. Ily❤️“

“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.“

“Our first impression of this place was a good one. I yelped this place after our dinner down the street. One con to this place is parking sucks. We had to park across the street at the grocery store and walked across the street. You can order online or at the store on a screen. Very minimal interaction with a person. The only time you see someone is when they're putting together your order. We ordered the horchata cheesecake, chocolate chip bread pudding, and a apple tart. The cheesecake was really good but the crust needs to be thicker to help balance out the sweetness. The bread pudding is also a recommendation, if you take it to go the person recommended to microwave it for 45 seconds or in our case, we used our oven toaster for 4 mins. This place closes at midnight so a good place to go to for your sweet tooth especially late night munchies.“

“I had seen the rave reviews on social media so I went into this place a bit of a skeptic. However, I’m happy to say that this place surpassed my expectations. The tea is so strong and fragrant. I had a Yuzu Osmanthus less sweet and it was best version of an Osmanthus drink I’ve had.“

“Sunright Tea is super easy to order from, and I love how customizable the drinks are. But the overall experience could be better. There’s no restroom for customers, no tables or chairs to sit and enjoy your drink, and they even got rid of the Mochi Matcha Frostie with red bean, which was one of my favorites. The drinks are good, but I wish they offered a more comfortable space for customers to enjoy them.“

“Lovely experience at this bubble tea place last night, the staff was super helpful and so kind, they all saved my life giving me the wifi to get an uber after getting abandoned by a guy in the middle of the road. I feel very grateful guys for you all, I want to thank you with all my heart and the bubble tea was very nice, cheers <3
Thank you again you are the best!!
Take care and regards,

“Occupying the ex-space of Yi-Fang, another boba place in Sawtelle! Yesss you heard me right, feeling like you won't have enough fingers anymore to count them especially if you include those now gone. Pretty nice to have more options amidst the already long list, so no complaint.

There's little line when we arrived, but we got the orders swift enough. Super helpful as they had self-order counter along with the regular one.

First drink for the day was Wintermelon Tea, which was always my to-go whenever available. It's nice that they could do sugar customization for this, as in most places I couldn't do it for tjis drink. I went for 70% and was impressed with its nice balance between the wintermelon flavor and the tea taste.

Our second was from the milk-based one, their Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea, which was also pretty nice with bold tea, though bit too sweet for 50% sugar IMHO; even kinda odd as it's sweeter vs first one despite being at 50%. We added aloe vera topping, which tasted decent enough and was generously given.

Fun fact, they provided option to go for mini cup with any regular one purchased, but only limited to flavor of the day. Pretty nice way to enable people trying new stuffs.“

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

“Salmon Ikura dish is amazing! So much flavor!“

“As with many other bubble tea shops, you'll find all kinds of different teas and coffees at Teaspoon Sawtelle.

We kept it simple and ordered the lychee black tea and house milk tea. Both were good and not overly sweet or bitter.

The staff was friendly, the shop was clean and prices were fair. If you need a boba fix, this place will do.“

“I will CRY if this place ever closes because this is my favorite boba of all time!!! Passion fruit Yakult or milk tea are the best!! This place is the only place that does fruit milk tea the best!! The only downside is that the building always has issues, so make sure to follow them on Instagram to make sure they're open!! The staff is always super nice and the wait time isn't that long even when they're swamped with people. Make sure to sign up for the reward points for coupons and a birthday reward of $10!!“

“Very good place. Great people are working there. Very friendly. Explaining well about their drinks and how they make. Drinks are very tasty. They prepare pudding by themselves and herb jelly. So i recommend to add them to your drinks. They are super delicious and natural than other toppings which they have. I really like Thai peel milk tea and matcha smoothie. The greatest thing about this brand is that they use dairy free substitution from Taiwan instead of milk and it taste like milk. Very recommended.“

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

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

“My son and I love boba. I believe there are 3 boba shops in century city mall. We chose this one bc it had the best reviews and I found it first. It was really good and had a LOT of boba in it, which I appreciated bc so many places skimp on the boba these days. They were the perfect consistency and sweetness. Would def order from here again!“

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

“Orders made quickly. Ordered Strawberry milk, Brown Sugar Boba, Coconut Mango Paradise, and the new flavor, Banana Milk.

Just a few tables and chairs to sit inside and outside.

Street parking or parking lot behind the store“

“Buen servicio muy amables“

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

“I love this place, because their drinks taste so good and I would buy again“

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

“Their ube latte (both hot and iced) is worth coming here for. I literally haven't tried anything else because it's the only spot in the neighborhood that even has an ube latte and it's SO creamy, tasty and frothy. My only wish is that they opened at 9am.“

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

“Cassetta is such a fun spot if you’re looking for unique drinks and treats. Their menu has so many creative options; from refreshing drinks to desserts and even soft serve ice cream. I tried a couple of their drinks and they were not only delicious but also beautifully put together.

The staff are super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. It can get busy at times, but I went when it wasn’t too crowded and the vibe was really nice, bright, airy, and very chill. Plus, they’re pet-friendly, which is always a big plus.

If you’re in the area and craving something on the sweeter side, I definitely recommend stopping by!“

“I’ve visited all their locations in San Francisco. We were in the area and had a craving for boba. It’s a tiny location with no indoor seating; however, there are lots of seats in the plaza outside. The bathrooms are only a few stores down too. Great to be able to use the loyalty program in SoCal. Go Andrew!!!“

“I was craving for a dessert after dinner and saw this tiny shop on my way. The cafe was very small with only few tight tables inside. I ordered via the tablet but they were ran out of boba.

Taro matcha latte: it had good taro flavor but the matcha flavor was weak. I asked for less sweet but it was still too sweet for me (tasted like normal sweetness).“
