5 Best Bubble Tea near Santa Monica

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

“This place has a good thing going. A higher-tier boba joint (a la Orobae) where the flavor of the tea really comes through, not just milk and sugar! And the silky boba is just so fun and distinctive. I recommend getting the jasmine flavor unless you know you like wintermelon (which to me is great, but isn't for everyone.)

[June 2025] I decided to try their coffee today and am pleased to say that they also make a pretty nice einspanner (Viennese latte)! It is not quite as memorable as the one at e.g. Mandarin in Pasadena, but it certainly hit the spot. They have a nice recipe for the foam -- pleasant texture and sweet/salty balance. A good value too at $5.50.“

“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!“

“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“

“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❤️“
