50 Best Bubble Tea near Signal Hill

“Mannas the Shittt No Cappers“

“Great owners/caring/serving us even though it’s 9:43am. Taro/mango with boba delicious!!!😜🤩🤸🏽‍♂️🤙🥰😘🤪“

“Very cute shop with pleasant ambiance and a lot of seating. The staff was super helpful going over the menu items. A highlight for me was the mini taiyaki filled with vanilla cream (served piping hot). The boba pearls were fresh and chewy too.“

“I recently visited Boba Time and had a great experience! The drinks were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet, just the way I like it. The staff was friendly and efficient, even during a busy time, and my order came out quickly. The shop itself was clean and had a nice vibe, making it a great spot to hang out or grab a drink on the go.“

“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.“

“Loved the homemade ice cream and cookies! The attendant was super sweet as well. Highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“We were a family of 5 and we all got a milk tea boba. Everyone loved their drinks and food. The portions were generous and delicious. The beef bologa and orange chicken were so great. I'm so glad to we checked this place out. It was the perfect ending to our vacation.“

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

“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!“

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

“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 ^^“

“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“

“Randomly went here on a Sunday, and I was very pleasantly surprised!

It was a little crowded, but the team moved pretty quickly. You order at the kiosk and I waited only about 10 minutes. Not bad.

I got a brown sugar, Vietnamese coffee. I think that’s what it was called… It was very rich and flavor and fairly priced too!! Will definitely come back to try more.“

“Se ve muy limpio y el personal amable“

“😍Great Fresh Fruit Juice“

“butter cookie coffee 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀“

“Hidden gem, great for lunch and they do catering. I ordered multiple items for catering for a party, and my guest kept telling me how amazing the food was. Three of my guests went to eat at the restaurant the next week and again told me how amazing it was.“

“Cocoa cream wow 🤤 es delicioso 😋“

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

“I came in wanting a caramel macchiato and that wasn’t in the menu but one of the kind baristas was willing to make it and it came out amazing! He was willing to accommodate to our wants! Thank you so much and I’ll definitely be a returning customer :)“

“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.“

“I ordered the rose lychee green tea it was so good, my daughter ordered the unicorn tears that one was also very good, my son ordered the oreo milk tea also very yummy and my husband ordered the very orange that one was also good and very refreshing 😊“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Best boba place in town, consistent, strong tea flavored drinks and consistent boba. Matcha latte contains a good amount of matcha and is well worth it. They have a 10% sugar option that works because of the good tea flavor. Please don't change!“

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

“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)“

“These guys handled the ffxiv collab bumrush pretty well I'd say. Professional and fast service, interpreted the collab rules correctly too and didn't give anyone a hard time. Feels like their medium is a bit on the smaller side though, I finished in like 3 sips.“

“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)“

“The drinks were very good healthy choice“

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

“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!“

“The menu at Boba Time offers an impressive variety of options, from traditional milk teas to adventurous fruit smoothies and slushies. The banana matcha is a standout choice—the blend is smooth, flavorful, and surprisingly delicious.
​The staff is extremely friendly and remarkably patient, especially when dealing with kids and the indecision that often comes with a large menu. While the lines can get long, the efficient service and welcoming atmosphere make it a top tier local spot. The boba pearls are consistently chewy and fresh, and the ability to customize sweetness levels ensures every drink is exactly to your liking.“

“it was my first time & it was amazing“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Enjoyed a healthy snack after a hard day’s work, having a good Sunday night with my best friend, Briana’s service was top of the line!“

“I highly recommend it here. The donuts are great. They have thrifty ice cream. Their sandwiches are delicious. Speedy service even when they are booking with business. I highly recommend their juices. Carrot juice or the orange juice are my favorite fresh made.“

“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!“

“lovely and cute cafe. will definitely go back for another boba or ube ice cream. 😊“

“Better tasting boba compared to the location in cerritos and delicious macroons. I got the specialty smootie milk and honey with mini boba and egg pudding. It tastes amazing. I wanted to try the Nutella and green tea macroons however they were sold out. I settled for the fruity pebble and I loved it.“

“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.“

“I absolutely love their blended menu, especially the Thai tea and Matcha! The best part is their cream and also how they blended it— it’s just how I like it!

This is hands down my favorite for all the boba shops I’ve tried in Gardena! 🫶🏻🧋✨“

“Hidden gem in Carson! This place is soo good! Obsessed with their drinks/lattes. Everything’s taste soo good but my favorite one is the Ube Taho Boba definitely reminded me of Philippines!

I also love they have soo many options to choose from coffee,matcha,tea,boba . Obsessed with the new hojica menu 🤎

Service is amazing! They did my drinks aesthetically pleasing and the staff were fast and very sweet.

The ambiance is nice, very relaxing plenty of seating and definitely good to hang and study. I will definitely come back here to try their other drink/lattes options.

What I got:
Pistachio Coffee
Taho with Taro Milk Tea Boba
Ube Matcha Latte
Hojicha Einspanner“

“Parking: Free parking lot. Finding an open spot can be easy.

Ambiance/Environment: This location has a medium/large space with a decent amount of indoor seating. I visited on a weekday, so it wasn’t busy at all.

Service: You can either place your order at the kiosk or at the register. There was only one worker at the time, but she’s quick & efficient.

Drinks: My go-to lately is the Seaside Green Thai Tea. I really enjoy how their Thai Green Tea tastes. It has a floral, sweet, and strong tea flavor. I sometimes get their coffee. It’s strong and does the job. Their menu became a bit overwhelming bc they now offer so many seasonal drinks.

Pricing: Krak Boba has their own rewards app. The app is really easy to use. My only pet peeve is how the coupon’s expiration works. For ex, if a coupon says it’ll expire on 6/16, it will literally expire once it hits midnight of 6/16. I was given a 50% off coupon that expired on 6/16, and of course I visited on 6/16. I didn’t realize it already disappeared. Other than that, the app is helpful when mobile ordering, looking at menu items, and receiving points.“
