50 Best Bubble Tea near Seal Beach

“Went early in the morning after a quick beach swim. Their nutella acai bowl was so good! I needed something fresh without feeling too heavy and this was a good option. They have a ton of options and the location was perfect. Good option for a quick breakfast or drink right by the beach!“

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

“Ok, this is now my favorite boba tea place. The Ube Coconut milk is insanely good, even at 30% sugar level. They did not have purple rice so I substituted agar, which is so good. I also got an order of unsweetened jasmine tea and double agar. The price is right and the taste is to beat.

5/25/26: Ordered the Avocado on Mango at 30% sugar today, not the best. I'll stick with the Ube Coconut.“

“One of the cutest spaces I’ve ever been too. If you like taking photos with many cute backgrounds this is the place to go. This place has a great atmosphere and the temperature is perfect to stay inside to enjoy your drinks. I would recommend to come here and relax and enjoy some drinks.“

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

“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 !“

“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.“

“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)“

“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 ^^“

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

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

“I was craving boba before a night out, so we made a quick stop.

Parking: Free parking lot. There’s a medium sized parking lot, so finding an open spot is easy.

Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a couple tables and chairs. Seating is very limited. There’s cute wall decor and backgrounds for photos.

Service: We placed our orders at the kiosk. Throughput was quick & efficient after ordering. The two workers we encountered were courteous.

Drinks: I got the Matcha Brûlée, and my friend got the House Coffee with sea salt foam. The matcha brûlée came with brown sugar boba. I couldn’t taste the matcha bc the brown sugar was very overpowering. The boba texture was good. The brûlée swirls were very faint. Overall, the flavors could use some improvements. The house coffee was thick and creamy. The sea salt foam was okay; could be thicker with a bit more salt.

Pricing: Average prices for boba drinks nowadays. I’d visit again bc their milk teas are good, but I wouldn’t get the Matcha Brûlée again.“

“The 3 of us came here for lunch. We always order the Honey Walnut Shrimp Burger which is delicious (5/5). The Taro Sweet Milk is good (4/5) and the Black Sesame Matcha is just average (3/5). It could get busy during lunch rush hour, kitty might take 10-15 minutes you wait for your burger, although the drinks are much faster. The ambiance is airy with high ceiling, the Chinese decor is quite interesting.“

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

“When I’m craving a bubble waffle this will always be my go-to spot, they’re not only affordable but also delicious & great sizing for the price. I also love getting their dragon fruit lemonade slush. Though the taste sometimes feels too sweet even after adjusting the sugar level it’s still good. Even better that they allow for you to choose your sugar! My diabetic uncle loves the yakult smoothie. The customer service is always amazing :)

10/10.“

“Got a large Thai Tea during happy hour which was nice. Perfect amount of sweetness for me. It was nice, clean, fast service. The stacked bench seating with no tables was weird. Also no ranch with my store bought popcorn chicken was also not what Im used to but overall was still a nice place, I would go again and would recommend.“

“This is my favorite go-to boba spot. The owner is very friendly, and most importantly, the boba is always fresh because it’s carefully managed by the owner. They’re generous with the fruit, and you can really feel their genuine passion for boba.
I’ve moved to a different area so I can’t come as often, but whenever I’m nearby, this is always a place I make sure to stop by.“

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

“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“

“The girl working there is absolutely fabulous super kind and easy to talk to. She was able to describe all the different flavors in great detail, as I was curious about the yogurt Matcha. I definitely recommend!! Also grabbed the Strawberry Matcha. The matcha flavor is strong, but still balanced by the wonderful puree at the bottom. Everything is wonderfully house made :3 will be back to try the Vietnamese coffees. Nice how they use oatmilk by default.“

“Nice vibes…………………..!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️“

“The drinks were very good healthy choice“

“I really like this place. Super cute decorations inside. I only ever get the taro. It’s hard to find a place that serves vegan taro tea so I love that they don’t use dairy in theirs. I recently got my taro with no ice & no added sugar and it was absolute perfection.“

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

“Great service and even better drinks! Crystal boba was amazing!!“

“Mannas the Shittt No Cappers“

“The atmosphere at this bubble tea shop was amazing! Supporting my fellow Chinese friends (LOL)!“

“🍩 𝐌𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐢 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐧𝐮𝐭 𝐱 𝐁𝐨𝐛𝐚 🧋 𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭
I love their Boba And donut shop it is such a cute and welcoming place! I got the plushy surprise with taro milk tea and boy…. that my melody plushy is so adorable 🥰
And the Mochi donut I got was a butterfly I don’t know what’s it called but I got that donut and it’s so good!! I would definitely come back here (≧◡≦) 🧋“

“Very good donuts and sandwiches here. Very friendly workers and polite too. I've been coming here for years and they always have been consistent in their baking. They also have good drinks too. Easy to find parking. Clean shopping center compared to others around. Be back soon.“

“Was craving for some soft sweet tofu and they have special deal here for it on Sunday. Also got some Tofu & pennywort juice too. Parking is fine since it is a big complex plaza with good size parking. The place is open space, clean, and spacious. Small but enough for several high tables for dine-in and several tables/chairs outside. Nice & varies choices menu. Staff are nice and friendly. The drinks are nicely mixed and refreshing, the tofu is great & also refreshing with the syrup and coconut milk. Just simply yummy.“

“Taty's has a lot of unique drinks that you can choose from. I liked everything I got the second time around. I would come back here.

Tip: Don't get crystal boba. I got this the first time and it was very dense and didn't taste good. Drinks are just right in sweetness. Get at least 75% here and don't go too low.

* Ube Matcha Latte 4.5/5 - This was tasty, though I wish the ube flavor came across more. It was very understated. I got Osmanthus Mochi Jelly addon and it was yummy, a cross between a grass jelly and mochi texture with a light sweetness.

* Mini Breadsticks 5/5 - These were like crispy banh mi. I like that they were protein-packed with pork floss and pate.

* Popcorn Chicken 5/5 - Crispy and delicious popcorn chicken. Their spicy level may be a bit high as I ordered mild, but it was more like a medium (maybe it was just the seasonings being concentrated at the top).

* Pink Guava Strawberry Tea 5/5 - Very refreshing and sweet drink, hint of guava and strawberry, not strong taste.

* Blended Oreo Brulee 5/5 - Creamy, eggy, sweet goodness. It was a real treat. Your mouth is like Oreo-land with bouncy egg custard.“

“it was my first time & it was amazing“

“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!“

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

“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! ☕🍙💫“

“Love this Asian drinks and hotdog. yummy.“

“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 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)“

“Came here while craving some caffeine-free late night boba and was pleasantly surprised with how great the Longan ginger goji berry drink was.

The guy helping me was super helpful and friendly. Drink came out super fresh (waited 8 minutes - as he mentioned). Super delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try other options!“

“first time there very impressed“

“shop workers are very nice and helpful. i originally went for photoism, but the cookies and cream boba slush that i bought was perfectly proportioned and well blended. the boba was warm and was not hard to chew. prices like these are so rare! (ps. paying with cash better than card)“

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

“I got the winter melon tea latte with the brown sugar mochi boba and my friend got the einspanner matcha. I got 100% sweetness and the winter melon tea latte was very light in taste. The winter melon tea aroma is slightly there, but I wouldn’t describe it as a watered down taste at all, just very light. The mochi boba was very good, it’s sweet, soft, and chewy. Definitely a good alternative to normal boba, I highly recommend trying the mochi boba. The matcha was also very good and had a good earthiness taste with slight sweetness. The einspanner cream top is salty and sweet, which helps to add sweetness to the matcha.

The employee took their time making these drinks and I think the quality showed from their efforts. I would come here again! I highly recommend this place for those who don’t want super sugary/sweet tea.“

“Sweet, quaint restaurant in the heart of The Source. If you are able to, get the bench seating near the back with the books of tea display…so pretty! This was a birthday celebration with high tea and some eggs Benedict. Plenty of choices for fluffy pancakes, matcha, espressos, iced coffees, etc.“

“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Knottea Cafe on our interview date. As someone who willingly admits that she’s not the biggest fan of boba teas, I fully admit that I sometimes forget that boba shops do in fact carry other types of drinks. Knottea Cafe in Stanton, CA is exactly one of those shops that makes sure to have a decent variety of beverages to meet any visitor’s needs. They have everything from milk teas to smoothies to a build your own favor option, and of course, they have some wonderful coffee options for the bean lovers out there. A mere ten minutes away from Knott’s Berry Farm and twenty minutes from Disneyland Park, Knottea Cafe is a great pitstop on your way for a fun day at the amusement park.“

“Everything is delicious there“

“I’ve been coming here since 2023 and Bambi Boba and Coffee never disappoints! My absolute favorite is their Milo Dầm. The prep station is always spotless, the staff is super sweet, and the whole place has such a fun, clean vibe. 5 stars all the way!“
