Noble Tea

One of my favorite spots in town! The bubble tea is always fresh and delicious, but the real star for me is the basil chicken — absolutely amazing! It's perfectly seasoned, juicy, and that touch of basil makes it unforgettable. It's my go-to dish, and I love coming here to enjoy it with my family. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, and everything is prepared with care. You can really taste the quality in every bite. If you're looking for tasty food and great drinks, this place is a gem. Highly recommended! The person who cooks the chicken deserves some passionate kisses.💋💋💋💋💋💋😋

Truly excellent Boba. I have been here at least 10 times and every single time the Boba is fresh and the tea is delicious. I always get sugar-free and it’s still crazy Delicious. I get the vintage house special black milk tea, it’s really the best. There is no seating inside, but there is seating outside. You have many options for boba in Japantown, but this place never disappoints.

We ordered noble tea to celebrate a special occasion at a park. Their service is fast and friendly. We ordered many boxes of popcorn chicken and sausages and fish cakes. We also ordered bubble tea. All tastes great and our guests loved them all! Popcorn chicken and sausage were especially popular with our guests. They are very juicy and flavorful! The owner is super nice and gave us extra food and sauces! We will definitely order again!

Delicious and well priced! I’m loving the peach slush, it’s Georgia Peach approved! (The taro tea is also lovely)

Very good popcorn chicken and fried tofu. Drinks are also delicious.

Consistently good. It’s pretty much a take-out only place but they have good deals on some delivery apps and a lot of variety. The workers are busy but friendly!

I usually get the classic milk tea but I saw they had a grapefruit tea that sounded interesting so I ordered that, wow! It was a very unique drink, I don't think I have seen anything grapefruit flavored drink at any other boba shop. The freshness created a delicious drink with great flavor, this one is definitely worth a try!

Great service, drinks and food! We love coming here to get our boba fix. Everything is always ready quickly and the people who work here are so kind.

A lot of boba and it was so fresh! Most definitely the fams' favorite Boba spot! Great California ambience!

I got the Salty Thai Bliss at half sweet. Drink was delicious and price was comparable to most tea places! The cheese foam was well made. Bobs was sweet and chewy.

Totally amazing boba place! They have one of the largest selections of drinks in Sawtelle, and their default milk is (for me) lactose intolerant friendly. They also have tons of snacks, highly recommend the spicy popcorn chicken :) Great price and they have a designated sitting area outside. Can't recommend enough!

Loved the rose milk tea at 75% sweetness with boba and lychee jelly. Perfect consistency of the toppings and nice tea flavor. Also a great price

I had an appointment near by and wanted a little refreshment, and am a fan of cheese tea. When I walked in I saw many boxes of fresh peaches and fresh strawberries and thought it was an encouraging sign, and so tried the seasonal peach drink. There was added peach flavor which is unnecessary since the fresh peaches were peachy enough. I chose the “less sweet” option and everything was as expected and a delightful treat. I’d definitely come back here again and try more off their menu!

My daughter adores this place. We always come here for a special treat and we are never disappointed. Her favorite is the crème brule custard milk tea.

A friend introduced me to this place--a tiny gem in the Sawtelle area! Drinks are yummy and reasonably priced. No wonder there's a line! Give it a try when you're in the area. :)

Noble Tea offers a wide selection of drinks, from classic milk teas to refreshing fruit teas, along with light snacks such as popcorn chicken and waffles. The shop has two self-ordering kiosks inside, which makes the ordering process quick and convenient. While there are no tables inside for dining, there is an outdoor patio in front where customers can sit and enjoy their drinks. Although it can take a little time to receive your order, the wait is never too long, and the drinks are worth it. The fruit flavors are especially fresh and vibrant, making each sip feel very satisfying. A favorite of mine was the limited-time Pink Peach Cloud, which included a creamy foam with a slight hint of saltiness that perfectly balanced the sweetness of the peach. Another standout was the Green Grape Slash with grape bits; it captured the taste of fresh grapes beautifully, and the added texture from the bits made it even more enjoyable. The tapioca milk tea is also a classic sweet, rich, and comforting but on hot summer days, the fruit-based drinks are especially refreshing and highly recommended.

Noble Tea is a pretty decent milk / fresh tea boba cafe. I usually get plain jasmine green tea and it was perfectly drinkable here, good taste with modifications allowed for sweetness and ice, which should be the standard now. I do really love the Taiwanese-style pork sung + fried egg sandwiches. Could I make it at home for $2 worth of ingredients instead of paying $9 for it? Sure, but for some reason, a sandwich always tastes better when someone serves it to me. Reminds me of my childhood. See the picture…yeah it’s a weird looking, salty/sweet flavored sandwich but truly delicious to a Taiwanese person. The app ordering in store does make it a somewhat cold, transactional experience, whereas most cafes make you feel welcome, with some sense of community. Parking is good though with lots of spots in the day and tip-only valet at night.

The tea was good. The store was a little cramped and you have to order on a tablet thing.

This was a pretty decent place. Small store front with cashier-less points of sales so it's really easy to walk in and order on a screen. Huge menu, but I ended up getting the lavender milk tea and ube egg waffle. I think the lavender milk tea needed some more tea strength and the waffle needed some more ube. Other than that, it was solid and I can see myself coming back here.

The Baseline: For bubble tea cafes the drinks must have the proper temperature for the drink, suitably firm tapioca pearls, and the drink must be quality. Food: I ordered a large White Peach Tea with boba and it was a large, tall drink. Had a good amount of sugar but I would opt to go lower on your sugar count. Service: I felt sorry for the employee the day I went because she was handling every aspect of the drink prep to the customers. She was a work horse. Ambiance: The cafe is a little cluttered with storage near the front. The order kiosk is easy enough to use and is easy to customize. No bathroom available.

Noble tea is in the Sawtelle area where there are a lot of boba drink places around. Our friend suggested this tea place. This shop is relatively small and there no indoor seating. It is basically a grab dnd go place. There are cozy seating outside. The menu is pretty standard with the usual milk tea, cheese foam type options and a wide selection of snacks. We just had dinner so we didn’t order snacks. The shop has two kiosk machines to order drink and food. What we found annoying was that the kiosk required us to pay tips and there was no way to bypass this request. We haven’t even finished ordering but we have to pay tips for service not rendered. There are other boba places in the valley that do not require tips before providing service as tipping is optional. Since one of us in our group was lactose intolerant, we asked for alternative options and were surprised that they did not have other option such as soy milk. It took 15 minutes to get three drinks. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our drinks. One of the drinks was milk tea with red beans and glass jelly. The execution of this drink was terrible. They blended the ingredients together like in a smoothie so we couldn’t tell what was in the drink. The drink tasted almost like a pre-mixed powder drink with excessive amount of sugar. Not a fan of this tea place.
