    I don't usually come during the day, so I decided to use my free card! Welcomed and greeted in with a smile. Open atmosphere comfortable Cushon seats with a few customers, chatting quietly, it's a nice place to chill. Ordered my favorite: strawberry Matcha milk with an extra shot of Matcha. I was offered a fresh stamp card, but I already have one in play. I'll be back soon! BSB y'all come check it! =D

    So happy that there's a new addition for boba on the west side! Delicious bubble tea and slushies here. Cute little space that has about 5 tables. They also have some board games that you can borrow and hang out. Would also be a good place to bring your laptop in to work at night :)

    Black sugar Boba is this really cool Boba place located on Wilshire. The people inside were so nice. The service was really good and the smoothies came out pretty fast. So I got the Oreo smoothie with whole milk black Boba and I got whipped cream on mine and it was delicious. Highly highly highly enjoyed it. It had a great texture consistency to it. You can really taste the Oreo. It was nice and smooth. The Boba was delicious. I might've asked for a bit less , but what I really wanna brag about is the whipped cream. The whip cream had like this saltines to it that really helped balance out the sweetness of the smoothie it's the first time I've ever tried whipped cream like that and I would definitely recommend if you get a sweet drink to try the whipped cream because it was absolutely delicious. I'm a big fan of it and I wanna learn how to make it myself now I got you.

    I've been coming to the spot for probably close to a year now and I at this point pretty much get the same thing The black sugar blended tea. I don't have a single thing to complain about for this drink it's just so good probably could drink two.. The places relatively small, and nestled on a busy street with unfortunately poor parking. But I've been fortunate enough to usually find street parking. Keep in mind that like many tea places they are open later in the day and open later in the evening, great for those early night cravings. They're ordering system is pretty easy and they're very quick about making drinks so service is pretty good I would say. The inside has a few spots to sit, but don't expect to have any large groups at this location. Seems like a great spot to sit down for an hour or two and get some work done while you enjoy one of their great drinks. And to add by the way.. they're consistency with the drinks is pretty impressive, the same every time and great every time. The blended drink I mentioned above has a great texture, great black sugar flavor, and the right amount of richness. Can't wait to come back!

    It was quiet & empty when I went in the afternoon. There's a kiosk to order at and then someone makes the order. We ordered the matcha milk tea & strawberry matcha milk tea. The drinks were milder in the matcha taste and milkier. Boba was soft and chewy & they have mini boba. The mini boba are smaller than the ones I've had at other places. They have indoor seating to sit and enjoy the drinks. Parking- street parking

    Jasmine milk tea

    Ordered the Jasmine milk tea with boba. This was the one drink I was able to order unsweetened (need to ask since the kiosk doesn't have that adjustment option listed). The tea flavor was nice, wish it could have been a tad stronger but overall the tea was very smooth. The boba on the other hand, had a nice chew but was a bit bland. The boba didn't have much sweetness or flavor to it. I would rate about a 3.5 stars but rounded up to 4! The ambiance is here really cute! My drink was ready quickly and service was good. There is the tiniest parking lot behind the building, otherwise parking is a bit limited (metered street). I did see a parking structure across the street but not sure if it's a validated lot.

    Came back again for more!! The workers are all so nice and great service. Still really clean storefront I ordered through the Yelp App and it was ready before they said.

    Michelle & Honey - super friendly!

    This brand new boba place is so cute, & they are so friendly! I came with a few friends & we each got a drink, & shared the mochi waffle. Michelle & Honey were so sweet to us! My friends loved their drinks & I loved my Matcha - and that waffle is to die for. This is my new fave boba place - highly recommend!

My favorite is their original Champion Milk Tea, which has a red/black tea base. The tea is always aromatic and when paired with milk, it has a creamy, milky and even a frothy consistency. Another unique feature of this tea shop is their delicious Shiso-silk boba. It's almost like a "mochi boba" - instead of the traditional round pearl tapioca starch balls, these mochi boba are cube-shaped jelly like, but yet chewy & squishy like a mochi. The shish-silk boba has a decent tea flavor on its own. I always get my drinks with 0% sugar as I feel the toppings add just enough sweetness to make the drink pleasurable without giving you massive sugar spike. I'd come here again whenever I'm in the Sawtelle area. Service has always been good - friendly and efficient staff. The shop itself has a clean, modern feel to it.

Odd One Out is a popular boba chain from Taiwan and they offer a unique topping called Silk Boba, which has a jelly-like texture. I went with the 23TW Golden Buddha Silk Boba, which includes Iron Buddha Tea. The milk tea and silk boba were very delicious and I really liked the flavors of the drink. I'll definitely recommend checking them out if you're looking for boba in West LA.

If you haven't tried it yet, the Matcha Latte with Pistachio Cheese Foam (limited time only) is a must. My other matcha option is the Matcha Oolong Milk Tea. On really stressful or hungry days, I go all out with the Oreo Brulee Boba Milk. It's rich, creamy, and totally satisfying. Other favorites worth mentioning are the Ceylon Milk Tea with Cream Pudding and the Mango Milk Tea. Service: Quick, efficient, and reliable. The 30 minute free structure parking is perfect as we never exceeded the time limit. Ambiance: Casual and simple, with no seating area. It's more of a quick pick-up-and-go kind of spot.

They made the drinks but kept them behind the counter without calling the order aloud... finally went to check and found them there - so approach and ask for your drinks. Ordered the Black Sugar Assam - flavor was smooth, it was surprisingly sweet but not overly so (this drink has no sugar level to adjust). Boba were cooked just right and had great chew. I ordered it with less ice as my usual. Also ordered for a friend and didn't realize her drink came without boba so be sure to double check the menu as you order so you get toppings (or not) as you wish. FYI - they have a rewards program, join earn points, and get a birthday drink (discount) too! There's a small seating area inside, quiet music playing, and people working/studying (with a sign to use your indoor voice). Vibe is quiet and chill.

It was clean inside when I went by at 8 PM, not super busy, decent amount of seating/tables. There are a bunch of board games as well so seem like a nice place to drink boba and hang out.

Boba has pretty good texture -- not super mushy/overly soft, decent qq.
