Bubble Boba

Mike Mackintosh

This place has been a staple for me over the years. Worked across the street and this was my lunch and dinner on many occasions. The staff is very friendly and quick with service. Tasted great. Peach smoothie with light boba all the way!

My drink was amazing, I haven't had thai tea that tastes that good in a while! Strong flavor like real, authentic thai tea. The boba was perfectly chewy too. Big size for a good price !

Bubble boba is a pretty good boba place to visit. Only been here once so I’m going to have to go back and try more, but the boba is very nice. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

Strawberry banana Boba smoothie is delicious. This little place is perfect for boba lovers.

Great service! Stopped by for the first time for a midday snack and grabbed some treats for coworkers! My coworkers looooved their choices: lychee-passion fruit slush (no boba) & Thai milk tea (w/ boba)! I got my usual strawberry-banana with boba! All larges- all finished to their last sip! Will return!

Strongly suggest the brown sugar crime brûlée with black boba 🧋. Amazing drink! We also tried the house milk tea boba. It was good, strong tea flavor, I would add a little more sugar next time.

Every time I spot in LA, this is my go to boba spot! Always get 50% sugar

This place is really cute!Small and humble, staff are really nice and make the best tasting boba ever! If you order from bubble boba the drinks come pretty quickly!I have to say this, the air conditioning is really good haha!! Overall, 5/5 from me 😍😍

TEASPRESSO?!?!? I did not know this quality of boba existed 😍😍😍

the best boba place ever, the lady is super nice and doesn’t take long for the boba to be ready. The macaroons are super good, my favorite boba is the brown sugar. Plus, it’s very affordable, just wish it had its own parking lot and didn’t have to use meters. ❤️🧋

Drinks were delicious and the lady at the counter was nice. Also the digital ordering screen at the front can be helpful for keeping orders more accurate. And if you have social anxiety it can be relieving for that too.

Best boba near Santa Monica airport! Right next to miyoka, and it seems the two complement each other nicely, with each offering parts of the other's menu, and staff regularly going between the two. Can't go wrong with any option, plus they have baked goods and great ice cream!

A small but tasty boba shop in a sleepier part of Santa Monica. They don’t have as large of a menu as Boba Time nor do they have as many tea flavors as Sunright but overall they do have some good options and also some good optional drink additions. Inside is very small and there was only one attendant working when we arrived Sunday night for a sweet treat after dinner. They don’t have a parking lot but street parking is easy to find in this part of town. The menu is not very large, but everything that we ordered was made pretty quickly, and the attendant was very polite, and I feel that she was also welcoming. For my first time I chose the Brown Sugar Crème Brûlée Black Tea with boba and added egg pudding, which is one of my favorite flavor combinations. The flavors were very good, not the best I’ve had in town, but still really hit the spot. They only have two drink sizes available, but I wish they would offer a slightly larger size than the one that they currently offer. Overall I would recommend and I plan to try again next time I am close by.

Very fast service. House tea was a bit bitter than I'm used to, not sure if less milk or not an excessive amount of sugar, so I'm glad I didn't ask for the usual "less sugar." The boba itself is extremely mild and has nearly no flavor at all. Decaf almond is suuuuuuper sweet. Tastes like almond tofu. Delicious, but so very sweet.

I past the boba shop after dinner. I ordered Thai milk tea with boba. Overall, the tea and boba are standard level. But u get enough boba.

Pretty standard boba shop. All flavor combos are on the menu, boba could be fresher. You can also buy ice cream. Order at register or via kiosk. Not all items were in stock. Basic, not as sweet as I'd like. Street parking only. A good choice if you are in the area.

$3.50 for single scoop of vanilla ice cream. The only decent thing I can walk out with without dosing myself with artificial additives. All the boba drinks are made from artificially flavored/colored syrup, confirms the cashier. Except two fruit juice - watermelon and mixed fruits. I'm definitely not their target audience.

Boba is made from the syrup. These are the boba places I stay away from. Always best when real tea is used in the boba, but that is not the case here. Also quite water. Large Jasmine costs 5.75 out the door. Looks like they also have ice cream but I didn't try it.

I visited this boba shop yesterday and ordered an iced matcha drink for $7-8 at the kiosk. First thing we noticed was that the only girl cashier/worker there was already on a phone call with a friend on speaker the entire 10-15 minutes we spent in there. I know this isn’t a fancy sit down type of establishment with hospitality in mind as a priority and it probably never gets so busy that she can’t be on her phone while working. But, it did seem rude to us to not even be greeted and hear her on speaker conversating with a friend the whole time. The last straw for me was when I took my first sip of the matcha and got a bitter blast of stale and dry matcha power in my mouth that wasn’t prepared properly. There were tiny dry balls of matcha indicating it wasn’t mixed in properly before adding milk/ice. I know wasn’t expecting much but was definitely upset about the bad customer service and poor product quality for a spot that charges similarly to top notch beverage spots of this kind in the area. It almost felt like a scam and left a bad taste in my mouth wanting to never come back and spend my $ here.

Bought a large Thai milk tea. It wasn’t filled to the top… paying extra for a large it should be full (see photo, no drink was drank yet even though straw was inside). The boba were undercooked and too hard. Asked for no sugar, was very sugary still (not sure if this Thai milk tea is from a powder and couldn’t remove the sugar?). Based on the colour it looks very artificial. Quite possibly the worst Thai milk tea I’ve had. The ordering system also says ‘Haru’ on the cups as well, made things a bit confusing. Disappointed in this bubble tea, didn’t think you could mess up such a simple thing. Unfortunately wouldn’t recommend.

Boba was not fresh, the tea tasted old. Wasn’t good at all!
