50 Best Bubble Tea near Seal Beach

“Marina Cafe in Seal Beach is an absolute gem! The boba Thai tea was amazing, and the Dubai Strawberry Cup was fantastic — you can truly taste every flavor in every bite and sip. Everything was fresh, balanced, and made with so much care.

A special congratulations to Marina on your schooling — your mom was so proud as we chatted, and it was such a joy to witness that love and support. Moments like that make this place even more special.

We’ll definitely be back.
Love always,
Thai, Khai & Nye ♥️“

“I've tried the Fluffy Matcha Milk Tea and Aiyu Honey Lemon Tea. Both drinks were delicious and the sweetness was just right to my taste. Highly recommend!! <3“

“Usually boba shops don’t stand out from other boba shops. Except this one. This Cerritos outlet of 7 Miles Tea Lab has more creative blends of toppings with different textures and tiny taste bombs. I would select lower sugar level since the ingredients being blended seem already sweet enough. Unless you are a super sugar tooth. As said these are serious dessert drinks and much less like your simple milk tea with tapioca boba balls. They only have one kiosk to order your drink sk there might be quite a wait if the customer ahead of you cannot decide what to order since the choices of drinks and toppings are varied. There is plenty of free parking in the strip mall parking lot.“

“This was my first visit to this Meet Up Boba location, (I had previously only gone to their location by Long Beach Poly), after my wife and I drove by it, looking for some quick snacks. Thankfully, similar to their other locale, the variety available to order is quite extensive. And all very tasty and satisfying. For this visit here, I ordered the horchata shake while my wife ordered the peach and black tea. We then paired those drinks with an order of their crunchy chicken. The drinks were exquisite and the chicken was crunchy, delicious, and filling. While this locale is a bit farther for us than the locale by Poly, it's good to know that the quality of the drinks, food, and service are uniform across both locations.“

“We had Boba Bee cater our 110 people wedding in August of 2025. They were very responsive to our emails to our concerns and we were able to sample a bunch of teas at their location. They were able to adjust the sugar level to our preference on all the drinks. They did all the set up themselves and had the best price around Los Angeles. Their fruit teas and strawberry milk [for the people who can't do caffine] were very popular and they made sure we had one on our wedding day. I recommend the Tropical Fruit Tea and the Thai Twist!“

“If I hadn’t parked to walk over to Lux Spa, I probably would’ve never noticed there’s a Happy Lemon in the same plaza.

We kept it simple and ordered the E3 Lemon Aloe Yakult ($6) and E1 Green Tea Yakult ($6). I make lemon and green tea Yakult drinks at home sometimes, but somehow the ones from a shop just taste better. It honestly brought me right back to the drink stands in Taiwan. Same nostalgic flavor. I guess I just don’t buy boba and specialty drinks that often anymore because there are way too many new Asian chains opening in the U.S., and I can’t keep up.

They’re actually known for their salted cheese foam drinks and egg waffles. If we hadn’t just eaten, I definitely would’ve added one.

Service was quick and the staff was friendly. I think I just found my go-to spot when I’m craving an authentic Taiwan-style drink.

“Been meaning to try Bopomofo but I live in NorCal so haven't had a chance until today! The hojicha latte is less intense than what I'm used to but still kept me up all night. The dark meat popcorn chicken is probably my favorite thing here. It did not disappoint. The beef noodle sandwich was an interesting experience and literally tasted like pho in a sandwich. The walnut shrimp sandwich was underwhelming and too dry for my taste.

Staff were friendly, seating is limited.“

“Excellent milk teas and snappy service. My discount coupon was lost but they gave it to me anyway. kudos“

“Cocoa cream wow 🤤 es delicioso 😋“

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

“Great boba! I ordered the Brown Sugar Matcha and one of their signatures, the Hokkaido Milk Tea... The matcha was delicious and the brown sugar was a nice subtle twist! The hokkaido milk tea was a bit sweet for me but otherwise very enjoyable. In the end, I think the matcha was my favorite“

“Such a tasty and refreshing treat! Wonderful and friendly service. I usually enjoy hot tea over cold but they have converted me! House tea and lychee hibiscus are a must try ��“

“I came here twice now, and it's been fantastic. The passion fruit cane was delicious, as was my coconut milk tea. Not too sweet as requested. And now, my matcha latte was very refreshing. Service was great! The store owners were very friendly and helpful, explaining some items I wasn't familiar with. Overall great experience, and I'll be coming back for everything else on the menu ^^“

“On the way home so stop by this place to try it out. So impressed by the Teapresso, the aroma of the shop, the act of brewing one cup at a time. Definitely worth the money! The cup is full of tea and boba, just light ice and perfect amount of sugar! Will come back whenever I’m in OC.“

“This was my first time here. The shop is super cute and the Passion Fruit green tea was🔥“

“I got the Four Seasons (a white tea) milk tea, which I think is my new favorite tea base, with 75% sweetness, large boba, regular ice, and creme brûlée pudding (I thought I would get something I don’t often see as a topping). I am so happy with this drink! Service was fast and easy, I ordered on a kiosk and the drink was called out within 5 minutes! When I mixed in the pudding and boba, the drink was super sweet (which is what I wanted, but next time I should probably get 50% or 25% sweet or not get the creme brûlée pudding, to limit myself to a more reasonable sugar intake). The boba was perfectly chewy, on the softer side, which is what I prefer, with good flavor, and there was a generous amount. The creme brûlée made the milk tea taste like vanilla ice cream and caramel were mixed in. Soooo good. Thank you for a nice dessert stop! The shop is small but very cozy with a few seating options. Side note: I was happy to hear Now or Never from High School Musical 3 playing over the speakers when I walked in. It warmed my gen z heart.

After looking at other reviews, I also wanted to add: You can order using one of 2 kiosks, or with a cashier at the register. There is also a QR code for the menu, and a printed menu near the register. The employee called out our orders when they came out.“

“We stopped in here after our visit next door at Dong Hung Vien. We picked up teas earlier down the street that were literally disgusting with old tea and flavor. Helen helped us today and made us the most delicious Lychee and passion green teas. The tea was very fresh, fruit flavor right on and the sweetness st 25 percent was perfect. Thank you Helen for making our visit so nice and we look forward to stopping by again .“

“We recently ordered two boba drinks from Bobuzz, including their signature “PMC” with boba and “The Dark White.” While the overall flavor of the drinks was comparable to other quality boba shops, the tapioca pearls (“boba”) were unfortunately undercooked, which detracted from the experience. Additionally, offering customers the option to customize the sweetness level would be a welcome improvement. While there is potential, the overall experience left us with mixed feelings. Personally, it wouldn’t be my first choice for a dessert stop after a pleasant meal, at least not for now.“

“Nice vibes…………………..!!!!!!!“

“I did not order any drinks for myself but my son and spouse did and they were delicious. It wasn't crowded but there are limited seats. Cute things to buy I dislike those labubu sure you can get one here. I rather buy and did a small cute Keychain adorable Monchichi in a cosplay outfit. (Tom** and Jerry)“

“Saw the ad on Facebook and coincidentally found the place today. I ordered the pineapple and strawberry drink which had yakult in it. It was such a pretty drink and very enjoyable. Fast service!“

“The drinks were very good healthy choice“

“Not a coffee enthusiasts, but enjoys Vietnamese style coffee.
Had double banana coffee.

Solid offering. Foam being the trend right now, is subdued and subtle than other micro high end places.

Little too sweet for my liking but the bitterness of the coffee balances it out nicely.

IDK if I would go out of my way to come, but it's I'm in the neighborhood I'm dropping by.

I hope this place succeed competing against da vien and cortado.. which have been my go-to.

Best of luck to the owners.
Bonus point. Tax and fee are included.. price is what you pay! Awesome“

“Muy bien atendido y muy buenas vividas 🥰🥰🥰“

“Excellent milk teas and snappy service. My discount coupon was lost but they gave it to me anyway. kudos“

“The atmosphere when walking into Gong cha was surprisingly very pleasing and comfortable. There is plenty of sitting and music to enjoy the wait and your day if needed whenever. Alought the quality of the Boba drink(Brown sugar milk tea)was amazingly sweet and blanace to my liking 10/10. Plus side the employees were friendly and welcoming.

BOUNS: there is popmart items you could buy such as labubus,skull pandas, angel babys, and etc..( besides that totally recommended spot) 10/10
(Times visited 7-10pm 11-11:40)“

“Very good drink- to my expected- Flavorful and not too sweet! I’m not a big fan of boba/milk tea in general, but I think I’m starting to liking it. Thanks chị Ivy @Cha2cha ❤️❤️❤️“

“1st time, but not the last!“

“it was my first time & it was amazing“

“My favorite place for kumquat lemon iced tea with crystal boba. I love the vibe when you walk in is very peaceful and relaxing. They also use fresh fruits so you can taste it instead of too much syrup. Would recommend !“

“This was such a great experience at Boba Time La Palma! I ordered the X-Large Brown Sugar Milk with Boba and egg pudding—absolutely delicious. Perfectly sweet, creamy, with soft chewy boba and smooth egg pudding that made it even better. Definitely a 5-star drink, I’ll be coming back for more!“

“The Earl Grey milk tea with boba is the best!!! 😍“

“Visited OC and was looking for a place to chill. We found this place and tried their taro and winter melon milk tea, as well as their mango fruit tea. It wasn’t bad. The only thing is I think their AC is not working.

Parking: First come first serve“

“Love this place customer service is great,food is great and not that pricey!I truly would recommend :)“

“I went to Tapioca Express in Alhambra on Monday the 15th around noon. I ordered a Thai Tea, which is personally my favorite! I usually order Thai Tea ever where I go because I can't get enough. Haha, The two people that were helping me were Jo and Steve or Steven, I didn't quite hear the other employee name but it's somewhere along those lines. They were super nice! Right when I walked in, I was greeted with "Welcome to Tapioca Express!" It made me feel very welcomed, which is a feeling everybody should feel when they walk into a store. Since I always order Thai Tea, I just wanted to take a look at the menu and see what other options they had. They offered me other drinks but I had to stay with my usual. I liked how they were so patient with me. The Thai Tea tasted amazing! The sugar was just perfect! I will be coming back! Thank you for being patient and having a great customer service!“

“Good service and better Boba!

I was in the area and in the mood for some boba and stopped by and I'm glad I did the girl behind the counter named Jane did an amazing job helping me . They also have a bunch of different soups and ramen meals!

Would recommend and return 👌“

“Tastea is usually great! I tried the banana coffee today and it was mid. Not enough banana flavor but that's my personal preference.. also the barista was annoyed that I changed my order (I hadn't paid for my drinks yet at the register and she started making my original drink order which I changed within a minute of standing at the register, anyway she rolled her eyes and made my banana coffee) I still tipped 20% because maybe she was having a bad day haha we've all been there! I'll stick to my usual house special which always slaps :)“

“Soooo delicious!! Ordered to-go & took us a little over 20mins to get home & surprisingly my Shaved Iced dessert was still frozen! Very satisfied with how everything tasted. I ordered the Green Tea Snow with Oreos, Strawberries & Popping Boba combination. I loved it. I also ordered the Pistachio & Matcha Green Tea Macarons & the Milk Tea. The Pistachio Macarons & Milk Tea was delicious. Definitely recommend. (Didn’t get to try Jesse’s Breakfast)“

“Close to home - easy commute - friendly shop, weekend frenzy - good for business“

“Cafe Orange is such a hidden gem! 💛
The coffee tastes amazing, and I was pleasantly surprised by how many Korean dishes they offer — from kimbap and bulgogi bowls to crispy chicken. Everything looks fresh and homemade.

The atmosphere is cozy and spotless, and the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. I ordered the kimbap, and it was huge and full of crunchy, colorful veggies — so satisfying and healthy at the same time!

If you’re craving good vibes, good coffee, and authentic Korean flavors, this is the place to be.
I’ll definitely be coming back soon! ☕🍙💫“

“Great no frills Dim sum Order at the counter and have quick service. Pork and shrimp was really good.“

“Best Apple Fritters in town hands down! They also make mini fritters with crispy goodness all the way around. Just ordered 3 dozen for a Celebration of Life to honor my father, and they were a hit. His favorite go to in the morning was a fritter and coffee.“

“Signature drink is Japanese Brown Rice Milk Tea!!! 100% Recommend.“

“I ordered the đậu xanh rau má (mung bean pasted with pennywort leaves) with half sweet and it was alright. The mung bean paste tasted old and plain, it slumped together and they didn't add much of it in the drink either. The taste of the leaves on the other hand is good, smell like the leaf itself not the artificial. So I can only give them 3pts. When I walked in the place was empty and they were all in the back , they didnt see or hear me w my friend walking in. I had to call them out to take my orders. The place also need a quick clean too“

“Had a nice calm first experience that many people inside. I think they only do souffle pancakes and have tea and some drinks. The cashier was very lovely and very nice to give me a moment to look over the menu didn't have to wait too long to get my food, atmosphere was nice with the music going definitely worth the money for me. The pancakes I ordered were the custard ones and were nice and fluffy and I got an extra helping of strawberries. I had a Earl Grey tea iced and it was delightful overall a wonderful first visit.“

“One of my favorite matcha spots! It’s creamy and the matcha flavor really shines through, particularly with the double matcha latte. You can also adjust the sweetness and ice levels, which is appreciated.
Really nice vibes inside but can get crowded. Place is popular for its multiple matcha options including banana matcha (delicious, does not taste artificial at all) and black sesame. They also have Ube and pandan lattes.“

“Amazing donuts and coffee. We drive further than our closest donut shop to come here.“
