This place makes the absolute best Vietnamese iced coffee. It is definitely worth the price. The boba was perfect, sweetness was perfect, strength of brew was perfect. Staff was friendly, drink was excellent.
I asked for a drink with no ice as iced drinks make my stomach hurt. As another employee went to pour the ice by default, the girl that took my order told him "no ice." The male employee laughed and the female employee laughed as well and said "I know right." They also had bad attitudes when I went to order and looked at me weirdly after I told them my order. I got a Thai tea and it wasn't even good anyway. Get off your high horse.
I wasn’t sure what I was in the mood for, the friendly crew member suggested the Matcha Royal. So good! The quality of their teas is evident and their menu is full of delicious options. This is the perfect place to satisfy your thirst!
Loved the boba! Perfect texture and sweetness. Delicious! Plus the owner is very nice and knowledgeable about all things tea. Definitely recommend.
Percolate is delectable!! I’ve had various of their matcha series, the pistachio matcha, black sesame matcha, matcha royale, and they’re all really distinct and unique in their flavor. I’ve had their mango smoothie with boba as well and I’d have to say it ranks pretty high. Their matcha series is definitely interesting, I’d say it’s an acquired taste. If you like matcha lattes definitely try one of their matchas. Their black sesame matcha is more thick - if you’re thirsty I’d go for something like their smoothie or the matcha royale. For less experimental customers, the mango smoothie with or without boba is a safe choice. The prices are also not bad, it’s located outside of macy’s inside the del amo fashion center mall. There’s also seating by the entrance which is nice. Definitely recommend coming here if you’re around macy’s and looking for something to drink!
Drinks are good, wait time is killer. I’ve been waiting for my drink for 20 mins and I would cancel but I’ve already been waiting this long. They need more help
Great selection of Boba teas and some coffee based drinks. Helpful staff and easy order through the front displays.
I forgot to take a picture of my actual beverage, but I had a Thai Iced Tea with light Boba. What I liked about this place is that you can adjust sweetness levels easily on whatever drink you choose. Thai tea is hardly ever offered as a customizable item. It's usually premixed, overly sweetened and watery. Percolate makes your drinks to order and offers choices like organic milk and smaller portions of Boba. I would definitely return if I was in the area.
Slightly addicted to the Matcha Royale. Have never lived adjacent to their store fronts, but always willing to drive! This place is incredible. The best customer service and speedy deliveries. 10/10 recommend. You will never be disappointed. The attention to detail is unmatched in this boba world.
I think they should learn more experiences to make a milk tea boba .. the first time I got this drink from hthis place it Didn’t taste like milk tea boba at all. It’s taste like a water to me. And the boba too sweet .. the owner should get a milk tea boba from R&B on Westminster n will see it is a big different..

The Cardi with boba was rich, creamy and even vegan. Easy parking right at the entrance to Del Amo didn’t hurt!
While walking about at the Del Amo mall, I came across Percolate. I was sad to see the Popsicle stand no longer there but was excited to see a new boba spot! My daughter and I walked up to see what kind of drinks they serve. I love their concept of brewing freshly brewed drinks. You order at a kiosk, and then your order will be called out. We did wait for about 15 minutes which was weird because there weren't many people waiting for drinks, so I'm not sure why it took so long. I ordered the Vintage Ceylon ( classic milk tea), and my daughter got the Thai Tea, both with boba. When we finally got our drinks, we quickly stabbed our straws in and began sipping. Unfortunately, we were both disappointed. Mine tasted like water down milk, and my daughters tasted nothing like Thai Tea. The Thai tea didn't even look like Thai tea. The only good thing was the boba. I've had much better boba tea drinks at other places, so I most likely will not return.
This is my first time with my husband and I just want to say they had a good quality of boba and the workers are so friendly! We had their signature drinks Matcha Royals and The Cardi.
I ordered the matcha tea + water (light sweetness) and it was perfect. The only problem is the lady told me to use the machine to make my purchase instead of ringing me up in-person, which I did, but there was no option to add boba on the machine so I asked them to add boba and the cashier had to complete a separate transaction for 50 cents. I tried the machine again just to make sure I didn't miss something, but another employee confirmed that the machine does not allow for add-ons. Hopefully this will be fixed soon since the machine was easy to follow and convenient. I would definitely come here again. 85 degrees also had good boba, but so far Percolate is less crowded and more convenient for me. UPDATE AFTER OWNER'S RESPONSE: Thanks for the info! Yes indeed the staff accommodated me by adding boba to my matcha tea and charging me the additional 50 cents on a separate transaction, and I appreciate that. I am always on the lookout for a boba place and I was very excited to see this one. I had no idea that matcha tea (+ water) with boba was such an unusual request. I normally order this same drink from 7 Leaves but they just call it matcha tea, and they always ask if I want any add-ons. I understand if Percolate's customer base does not typically add boba to their regular matcha tea + water, and if they want to omit this option from the kiosk, that's their prerogative. I did not realize it was an intentional omission; I just thought it was a flaw in their system that could use improvement. Nevertheless, I believe it's good if others know so they don't have to request an "accommodation" from Percolate's staff; they can just order without using the kiosk, instead of going through several transactions and inconveniencing the employees and themselves.
This was my first time having matcha boba tea with fruit purée(Matcha Royal) and it tasted great. We couldn’t choose the ice level on the kiosk, but there weren’t much ice in my drink and it made me happy.
