50 Best Bubble Tea near Whittier

“I went with my kids today. They have the cutest containers for the bobas. I got a milk carton and my daughter got a kitty. So cute!“

“Hey do you feel like chilling? Well, based on the name you can already figure it out. They got boba, ice cream, desserts, snacks, claw machines, and even board games if you just want a chill spot then chillin will be good for chilling

Vegetarian options: They got a lot of milk based stuff so as long as you're not vegan you should be fine

Dietary restrictions: Not many vegan options

Parking: Got to look for it, maybe in the street or in a structure but it's doable

Kid-friendliness: Totally can bring your kids here, they even got claw machines“

“I was turned onto this place a couple of years ago by my barber, and it didn't disappoint. They're very friendly with great customer service. They'll let you try anything if it's your first time. Actually, they'll let you try anything at anytime. The Jalapeño Chicken is fire. The Fried Chicken has so much crunchy spices all over it... I get it every time. And, you can't go wrong with the Beef Spare Ribs. I just had it again to bring in the new year. Happy 2026!“

“Friday 3/28/25 Dinner at Fire Tiger Thai Food in Whittier with my friends Erwin and Victoria. Enjoying a wonderful dinner together after a hard day’s work. We ordered Shrimp pad Thai, fire tiger wings, seven sea soup, crying tiger, and mango sticky rice. The foods were so delicious and savory and a good size portion. Not salty, not too spicy, just right to taste with all the herbs and spices.

Nikki, service staff, was super nice and work diligently to serve all the customers.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated with flowers and was cleaned.

I recommend trying this restaurant.

“好喝！ 波霸粉圓新鮮！“

“i love coming here every chance i get, i’m ALWAYS treated with kindness even when it’s really busy with a bunch of people in line. i know how to be patient! the manager and her staff always put a smile on my face, & the drinks are always great “

“They have plenty of vegan options“

“I was drawn to this boba shop because of its high ratings and very reasonable prices! Located inside Chubby Cattle, you don’t need to dine at the restaurant to order here.

Here’s what I tried:

Osmantheous Oolong Milk Tea with Boba (less sugar, less ice): This was fantastic! The tea-forward flavor was exactly how I like my milk tea, and the boba had just the right texture—not too chewy and not overly sweet. I’d definitely order this again.

Strawberry Oolong Tea (less sugar, less ice): A little on the sweeter side for my taste, but still a great deal at just $2.99.

To my surprise, they were running a buy-two-get-one-free special during Christmas week! The third drink that was part of the promotion was an Iced Strawberry Matcha, which was quite sweet but still a nice addition to the experience.

Overall, this spot offers great value and drinks—I’d happily return!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Their Matcha is something I have a craving for almost every week! Mom also loved it and my sis showed me this place. 10/10 the owner is the kindest and works very hard. (Did I mention they have a massage chair for waiting)“

“This is a wonderful family-run boba shop. The owner is always super friendly. They make their drinks to order, instead of pre-mixing them like other shops. And I appreciate that I can get my drink with regular milk, instead of non-dairy creamer being the only option.“

“Taro Latte, and Vietnamese coffee ube foam is stellar, A grade. But Vi, the owner, is the star of the store. She made sure everyone loves their order before you leave, and will alter it if needed. The store is lovely with plenty of seating, toy machines, and anime merchandise. Will definitely be back for more.“

“Loved my first experience at One Tea - Every sip of my tea was delicious, the staff were phenomenal, and I adore their space-themed decor! I stopped by on my way to my fave nail salon across the street and definitely intend to make this my pre-pedicure drink stop from now on.

They have quite a large menu with various teas, milk teas, coffees, matcha concoctions and other non-caffeine options. I was struggling a bit to choose but the lovely staff came to my rescue. He helped me select a tea base for my milk tea that would compliment the popping barley I was wanting and his recommendations were spot on!

I ended up going with the One Tea Signature Blend as a milk tea per his recommendation - it’s a combo of black tea, barley and cassia and had a lovely roasty flavor that perfectly complimented the popping barley. I also opted for a creme brulee top since I was in the mood for a sweet treat and it hit the spot!

Their popping barley is spectacular - it’s got pieces of soft, tasty roasted barley inside tiny pearls of sweet liquid. It’s a great chewy treat and pairs well with any of the more roasty type teas. I also opted for 50% sweetness and it was perfect. I love that they let you adjust the sugar and ice levels.

I had fun looking around their spacey shop while they made my tea! They have a galaxy paint job on the floors with starry lights in the ceilings and a really cool moon seat in the back that’s perfect for the Gram lol. Really fun decor and a great vibe - very conducive to hanging out and enjoying their delightful drinks.

Prices are on par for the area. Parking is free street parking and ample in the surrounding area but there’s also a free (albeit time-limited) lot across the street behind the businesses.

One Tea is an excellent addition to the milk tea scene here and I’m looking forward to enjoying the popping barley again with my next pedicure!“

“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.“

“Delicious 🤤 got three drinks and all amazing. Highly recommend l!“

“I've been to this place many times and I really like it. It has a very thick tea flavor. They actually prepared a puppy cup for the puppy, with an egg yolk on top! I just love it so much!! The waiters were very friendly. Even though it was already past 9 p.m., they still faced every customer in a very good state. I will recommend it to everyone around me!“

“wonderful drinks and great service!!“

“Love it ever since I found about this place. Love that the wall is filled with anime & sometimes band logos drawings & stickers on their counter. Like the mango & peach icy (slushie). Buy one & get one free!!“

“Love this place love the meets they host the drinks are really good and so is the tofu“

“- authentic tea

- music choice was 2000s pop which was an interesting choice imo
- a bit pricey!
- plenty of outlets
- mostly group seating
- good place if you want a semi quiet study space!

“Came here for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. And ordering was very easy since you do it through a QR code but you can also ask for a menu and order that way as well. Food came within 10 to 15 minutes and everything was very hot and fresh. The meat pies were really hot and filled with yummy juices. The scallion pancakes were very very yummy. I highly recommend getting the cucumbers. Service was decent but don't be expecting conversations from these ladies. They bring you your food and that's about it. I can't wait to come back and the prices are so worth it.“

“Chapresso is a tiny boba tea shop in San Marino. They have breadth selection of fruit teas and milk tea boba. And it is the only tea shop in this upper middle class city. I came to grab a hot Jasmine Pekoe Green tea which is a high-quality tea leaves , often younger leaves with fine hair (pekoe). Its flavor was smooth, mellow, slightly sweet, with fresh fruity undertones.

Prices were fair. Staff and service were cordial and on spot, respectively. Indoor and outdoor seats were very limited.

Overall, I liked my tea at Chapresso. I highly recommend them.“

“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.“

“R & B Boba Tea offers a delightful experience for bubble tea lovers. Their extensive menu features a variety of flavors, from classic milk teas to unique fruit blends, ensuring there's something for everyone. The boba is perfectly chewy, and the drinks are always refreshingly cold. The cozy atmosphere makes it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. The staff is friendly and accommodating, adding to the overall positive experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in a tasty boba treat! Rodrigo Suerte Realtor I ICON Agent“

“Se ve muy limpio y el personal amable“

“popcorn chicken is tasty and the shaved ice is delicious. will come back“

“Price is right. They serve quick and dependable powder based boba tea drink that reminded me of college days. They have some other boba drinks too but I kinda like their non-lactose milk teas! I’ll go back and try for the other ones.

What really got me in the door were the pastries! I found the aroma, texture and flavors to have been a good quality!“

“Cocoa cream wow 🤤 es delicioso 😋“

“One of my favorite places for a boba drink. The shop has special events for arts and crafts, kpop fans, and holidays. I go for the delicious drinks. My faves are the orange milky way, sweet pink, and strawberry mochi. The Alaska sunset, honey lemon mint tea, and fruit tea are also very good. The service has always been great. I only wish they were open later. Sometimes my boba craving hits at 830pm and it's too late 😭“

“Tenju Tea House has solid tea. A plus is they offer loyalty stamp cards! I think the 10th drink is free. There is a kiosk if you want to pay by card/tap, but you can order with the cashier too.

I thought they used to be in the 99 Ranch plaza, but I guess they moved here behind Yoshinoya. The parking lot is more tight and annoying to find parking here.

I wanted to mention that I was in communication with Peggy about catering. She showed passion and attention to detail. We ended up not booking them, but she left such an impression that I have to share it! Go hire Tenju!

-no bathroom (the one inside the nearby market is NASTY though)
-unsure about wifi
-Apple Pay accepted
-no outdoor seating
-parking lot but it sux“

“Love the 開心果米麻糬,木薯粒&桃膠！I’d say I’ve tried most of the popular boba shops in SGV (ici/3CAT/motto/molly tea/cha redefine) and I can say this place’s the toppings is my current favorite. They are not too sweet or creamy and is hand made. This is def my new go to place for chewy and fresh toppings!!!“

“When am pm coffee won't do and you only want quality coffee then this spot will satisfy your caffeine urge“

“This Horchata boba 🧋 is delicious 🤤! The service is awesome, long lines but well worth it 🤤“

“Beautiful Design and great Boba 🧋 the best is the Hawaiian 🌺fruit drink 🍹“

“El Monte doesn’t have too many good boba spots, but Ono Tea House is a decent option. Prices here are a little lower than most places, which is nice.

The tea itself is just okay — not super strong — and the drinks can lean on the sweeter side. I usually order mine with 1/4 sugar since I don’t like them too sweet.

Overall, it’s not a spot I’d go out of my way for, but if you’re in El Monte and really craving boba, it does the job.“

“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“

“You can’t beat the price! Affordable and pretty good quality for the price you pay.
Favorite- passion fruit green tea with tea jelly and most of their fruit teas cost under 5$.
You can add a few toppings for free which includes- tea jelly, coffee jelly, boba pearls and pudding. Very popular so be prepared to wait in a line to place an order but the service otherwise quick.“

“Ever since this Tea Spots (Azusa/Amar) opened my 2 daughters and I have been enjoying everything this establishment has to offer. I would suggest that most people if not all should try one time n u 2 would be hooked too. Their Milk Tea with black boba / fresh fruit smoothies, ices with fruit and can’t forget their delicious menu. They have healthy food and fried food like baked sweet potatoes fries and dinner plates also ramen bowls. They have 5$ 7$ n 9$ individual plates that are delicious. We have had most of their food and it has all been very umpslish. Try it yourself u will not be disappointed. EA“

“Literally the best boba I have ever had in a long while. The ingredients never hurt my stomach and the boba is never hard, always perfect. The matcha is a must have. The downsides are that this place is near a HS and they close pretty early.“

“X Tea Cafe is definitely my favorite tea shop lately! The brown sugar boba milk tea is rich in tea flavor with just the right amount of sweetness, and the boba is perfectly chewy and soft — absolutely delicious. The shop is clean and bright with a cozy atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and chat with friends. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Highly recommend to anyone who loves high-quality tea drinks!“

“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.“

“The store is bright and fun. Staffs are young with joyful smile. Of course the drinks are great which bring the happy day.“

“tried this place for the first time! I got the strawberry matcha with boba, my bf got the strawberry peach blend with popping boba and they’re SOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!! sweetest shop owner too! she even gave us the leftover smoothie from my bfs drink!!!“

“Spacious, clean shop with modern seating and plenty of parking in the plaza.
• Service is fast and friendly, even during busier hours.
• Popular drinks include Brown Sugar Milk Tea, Peach Oolong Tea, Strawberry Yakult, and their Signature Halo Fruit Tea.
• Drinks are well-balanced with customizable sweetness/ice, making it an easy go‑to spot in City of Industry.“

“Very delicious drink, my family really love brown sugar boba milk and classic milk tea here“

“Just tried Teaspoon and it’s fantastic!“

“We LOVED their fried rice it was so good! Solid amount of chicken in it too. We ordered the chicken garlic noodles as well that was also tasty. The woman who took our order was so sweet she brought out all of our items to us very gingerly and also put a nice big bottle of siracha out. We wished we lived closer so we could come more often!“

“I have had a few of the specialty drinks (Sunset Passion and Dragon Slayer) and really enjoyed them. However the main drink I would usually get is a Mango tea and the mango puree is more of small/thin mango chunks and doesn’t really seem like it has as much mango flavor as I am used to.“

“Recommended to us by a local restaurant owner, we took a drive over to try them out. They have an amazing fresh fruit selection (including persimmon, which I hadn’t seen before) like strawberry and watermelon (which is one of my favorites).

We like them so much we’ve made the 20 minute drive several times already during our short stay. The drinks seem to run a little sweet so I make the less sugar option. They seem to automatically add a jelly to the drink (at least the several we’ve ordered).

Overall this place is great and highly recommended“

“I was so surprised to find taro ball and mini taro balls here in the US-something I used to eat all the time growing up.the texture is perfectly chewy and not overly sweet.very authentic and nostalgic .highly recommended if you’re craving Taiwanese desserts“
