It has such a creamy mango taste and the boba pearls are always so soft and have a hight quality to them. This place honestly eliminates most of the competition around los Angeles. The service here is amazing, workers have a good attitude, and even my little sister has a friendship with the manager there.

Mediocre tea worsened by low quality boba…read more One positive was their quick service. There was minimal interaction but I appreciate how fast everything was given the tight parking situation. The drink was finished in a couple minutes. *Assorted Fruit Tea: the fruit wasn't very prominent besides the orange notes. The tea was rather dilute and there was a good amount of boba included. Too bad the boba appeared undercooked and took forward to chew through. The boba also was bland on it's own right so the entire drink felt underwhelming. Thankfully the pricing wasn't too steep compared to other options but I wouldn't go out to drink here.

Really delicious boba in a very cute shop!…read more After some shopping in fashion district, my boyfriend and I stopped in for a mid day boba fix. Was pleasantly surprised! The kiosk made ordering easy, and service was fast. The Luna Matcha was very good! Was also very sweet, so I'd likely opt for 50% sugar next time. My boyfriend's peach blossom was a delicious slushie that I'd definitely order next time as well.

I've been a customer here since I was a college student over 10 years ago and now I come here with…read moremy kids! The staff is super friendly and their popcorn chicken always hits the spot for me. I also really enjoy the pork belly meal, the meat is perfectly seasoned and very soft. In college I always got the Thai tea with boba which got me through those all nighters, but now I really enjoy the winter melon juice with fresh milk with grass jelly and the cucumber green tea with boba (sounds weird but it's tasty and refreshing!). Parking can be a bit hectic but cars often come and go out of the lot and there are 2 spots right in front that are reserved for Cup of joy customers.

went to the science museum nearby and wanted to get a drink so found this bubble tea stop, got 2…read moreitems, a sea salt milk foam oolong tea with 25% sugar (not much tea flavor) and a fruit tea (50% sugar level but still way too sweet), both were average and not that impressed. I ended mixing the two to make it more drinkable, would recommend trying other items or pick another place! My friend got the Okinawa milk tea 50% sugar and that was not good at all. More like 2.5 stars for me and rounding up.

Pros: - The Barley Mochi Buret was DELICIOUS! It has a great…read morenutty flavor and depth. The speciality milk (Straus), was very VERY creamy. I would highly recommend if you're someone who doesn't like things too sweet and prefer teas more natural to opt for 0% sweetness. The milk has a sweetness to it combined with boba / mochi so just be aware. - Service was super fast considering how busy they are - Boba and mochi were expertly made with perfect texture Cons: - Interior size. It was very crowded and busy inside with almost no seating available.

Interesting drink spot with some unique flavors I haven't seen elsewhere, like osmanthus, chestnut,…read moreand barley. They make their drinks with house coconut milk and offer both fruit teas and milk teas. Ordering is efficient with self-service kiosks, and there were tons of pickup orders when I visited. Seating is very limited only about 3 small tables. Drinks seem to come in one size, and they don't list specific sugar percentages, which would be helpful. My smoothie-style drink was around $7. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for more unique Asian-inspired drink flavors.

Came here at night because I was craving boba! The shop has some seating, and I really enjoyed the…read moreatmosphere. There's parking in the back, but it's valet only. I didn't interact with the staff since there's an iPad kiosk at the counter for ordering. I got the Traditional Oolong Milk Tea and the Peach Fruit Tea, which came out to about $14. Traditional Oolong Milk Tea: Simple, but really enjoyable. I got it at 70% sweetness, and it was perfect. The boba was chewy and delicious. Peach Fruit Tea: This was tasty, and I liked the balance between the peach flavor and the tea. It also came with peach chunks, which were a nice touch. The only downside was that I got it at 70% sweetness, and it was still a little bitter. Overall, I would definitely come back!

Craving boba in Los Angeles can sometimes be difficult to satisfy, especially when the thought of…read morefinding parking becomes more stressful than the craving itself. Luckily, Yi Fang is one of those spots where parking is rarely an issue. They have their own parking lot, plenty of nearby street parking, and even additional parking near a church close by, which makes visiting much more convenient compared to many other boba shops in LA. The store itself is on the smaller side, with only a few chairs and seating options available. They offer both a self-serve kiosk for quick ordering and a front register if you have questions or prefer ordering with staff assistance. Yi Fang is best known for their fruit teas, which are considered their specialty. Personally, I tend to prefer milk teas, and while the drinks are still good, I found the quality of the grass jelly and boba to feel somewhat inconsistent compared to other boba places I've visited.

Loose Leaf Boba Co is located inside one of the storefronts at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in…read moreDowntown LA, which already makes it worth checking out. I live nearby, so I stop in every now and then when I'm craving boba in the area. They have some indoor seating, which makes it a decent spot to sit down and study or get a bit of work done. It hasn't seemed too busy the times I've gone, which is surprising given the location. I hope they do well over time because it's such a prime downtown spot and there's always foot traffic around. I'm sure people working nearby frequent this place when they want a fix, and when I go in, it's usually during non-business time hours. Their menu is creative with some unique options. I usually go for the POG agua fresca, and if I'm in the mood for something richer, I'll get one of their ube drinks like the Purple Roots. Overall, a solid local spot with interesting drinks that I keep coming back to.

I love when my drink comes with plastic and nearly have a DEATH EXPERIENCE bc I'm CHOCKING and…read moretrying to cough it up! Ive been trying to call them multiple times to speak with someone who made my drink. NOBODY ANSWERED! Not a single call back. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PLACE! DO NOT RECOMMEND..

I came here for the Maplestory x Sunright Tea Studio tea collab event. Despite my complaints about…read morethe event itself (not Sunrights fault), the employees did a great job! Everyone pretty much ordered at the kiosks inside of the store, and the line moved really freaking fast despite the mount of people they had to serve. I think I legit waited like 5 minutes and I got my drink, which was the Coconut frostie with boba. This was a really, really delicious drink. Great coconut flavor, would order again. It's interior decor is themed similarly to all other sunrights. They have a nice spacious area to sit/stand/etc. I think they may have moved tables/chairs to make room for the event, as I don't remember seeing any of those at the time.

Enjoyed our visit and delicious specialty coffee and milk tea drinks at Sunright Tea Studio in…read moreLittle Tokyo this Saturday. Sunright Tea Studio is so welcoming and gives off such a sweet and festive ambiance. The studio is so spacious and has a beautiful Christmas tree in the center with area for sitting. We ordered our drinks from the kiosks and we're still able to communicate with the 2 baristas. The baristas were great and helpful in recommending their specialty coffee and milk tea drinks. We ordered the Signature Iced Coffee, Strawberry Matcha Latte, Chocolate Oreo Brûlée and Chocolate Oreo Frostie. The Signature Iced Coffee is a Vietnamese Highland double blend while the Strawberry Matcha Latte is premium matcha from Japan with 4 seasons oolong tea layered with organic milk and fresh strawberries. The Chocolate Oreo Frostie on the otherhand is a rich yet refreshing chocolate ice-blended frostie infused with a generous scoop of crushed oreos. So good! Last but not least, the Chocolate Oreo Brûlée is a velvety chocolate latte swirled with creme brulee foam and served with crushed Oreos. This is one is good yet it's too sweet for me. Can't wait to try other milk tea and specialty coffee drinks on their menu next week/

I thought their boba was made really good, it tasted more like jelly and was really addicting. The drinks themselves were on the sweeter side, so I would definitely come back and get half sweet next time, especially for the yuzu. Service was fast and they have a self ordering kiosk, which was convenient. There is a small amount of seating inside, but there's also a plaza outside that you can walk around. They have free parking for 2 hours in the lot with validation. Would definitely recommend!

I had never even heard of Boba Bear until one of my friends, who is a Invincible fan, told me they…read morewere doing a special pop-up experience. I do not usually make the drive out to K-Town, but since tickets were only $10.20 per person, we figured it would be worth checking out. Even though I don't really know much about Invincible, I still had a lot of fun. The space is completely transformed with different scenes from the show and there are plenty of photo ops whether you're a fan or just tagging along like I was. It definitely felt more immersive than I expected. The food and drinks are on the pricey side, so we shared a few items instead of each ordering our own: We tried the Monster Girl Matcha, which came in one of the collectible bottles ($20) my friend wanted. The drink itself was okay; not bad, but not my favorite matcha beverage. We also ordered the Invincible Power Wrap ($15), which tasted good but was honestly much smaller than I expected for the price. My favorite thing we tried was definitely Atom Eve's Energy Acai Bowl ($9). I love acai bowls and this one was refreshing with dragonfruit, strawberries, lychee, coconut flakes, and granola. I would order that again. We also shared the Viltrumite Training Cookies ($9). They were basically buttery sugar cookies but came in a pack of 3. Parking was probably the only annoying part. The shopping center seemed to only have valet, so I ended up finding free street parking in the neighborhood and walking about 10 minutes. One thing I thought was really cool was that the employees told us they completely change the theme every few months. They have done collaborations with Godzilla, Final Fantasy VII, and Arcane. Overall, I had a really good time, even as someone who is not familiar with Invincible. If you are a fan of the show and like experiential dining experiences, I would say come check it out.

Took my son here because he's a fan of the invincible show.. and this times theme is invincible…read more Looks like it's a cute place that changes its theme every so often. They had a very minimal menu.. he came for the drink flask collectibles. They were $20 each and came with a juice drink inside. He also wanted their sugar cookies with the theme but they had ran out for the day. We also went upstairs where they had some picture props and a claw machine that was a scam lol $8 for 1 token for 2 tries and the many coins we got and played.. the claw would pick up and drop right before moving towards the drop.. shake my head. Overall it's definitely for the gamer life..

Last time, we finally tried their food items as well. OMG, we have been missing out on this place! We ordered 2 mini tlayudas (which were quite large, larger than a personal pan pizza), and the mole divorciado. The tlayudas were crispy, with amazing beans, and the freshest and crispiest vegetables. A mixer of hearty and refreshing. The miles were rich and thick without tasting heavy or overpowering. Walked the line of almost tasting "light" on top of juicy chicken breasts and thighs. Even the rice was good. You really can't order a bad item here.
