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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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 !“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ^^“

“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)“

“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 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“

“Cocoa cream wow 🤤 es delicioso 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Mannas the Shittt No Cappers“

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

“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)“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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 (≧◡≦) 🧋“

“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.“

“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! ☕🍙💫“

“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!“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“This was a surprise discovery and we are so happy to know this is here! Food is quick, well presented and delcious. The green onion pancake is excellent - thin, flaky and great flavor. Prices are reasonable. Friendly service. We had both the oolong and chrysanthemum teas and they are refreshing. There is indoor seating (about 5 tables). Authentic Taiwanese food.“

“first time there very impressed“

“i love crispy food here with their boba drink also yummy and fresh.“

“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)“

“Tastea is always a great choice when you want quality drinks and quick snacks. Their smoothies are delicious, but their milk teas are the real standout — especially the seasonal oolong flavor, which are easily some of the best. They also have tasty snacks like chicken nuggets and seasoned fries that are perfect if you need something filling on the go. Great drinks, good food, and consistently solid service every time.“

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

“They changed their menu which looks fancier now with options of snow and cloud cream tops. Came for their BOGO Pistachio Cloud Jasmine tea which had a strong jasmine taste and creamy pistachio top with diced pistachios. I don't usually get cream tops, but the sweetness balanced out the bitterness of the jasmine tea since I get it less sweet. Their boba was great! Soft and chewy!“

“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.“

“Everything is delicious there“

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

“Favorite tea spot when visiting Garden Grove for work. They had oolong tea which many tea shops dont always carry. They also had large size options which was what I wanted for a good price! Grace was also very sweet and let me try peach oolong which I've never had before, it was great (get it hot)! This place is also connected to a bakery I havent tried but come by and give this tea shop a try.“

“foods are amazing“

“Absolute hidden gem!!! They had excellent service with detailed instructions on how their menu worked, which I appreciated because there was a lot of new items I had never seen before. I love how you can customize drinks, and that all their jellies are made in house. The staff even offered me free samples of all the jellies since I was new. That was very kind and thoughtful. Every jelly tasted fresh and I even enjoyed some of the stranger options like their sesame jelly. I give this place four stars because there was no seating inside. I understand it’s a small space, but I think that would add to the charm and attract more customers. Other than that, this is an excellent establishment everyone should try!!❤❤❤“
