Since I'm obsessed with finding new Boba spots, Boba Beast was next on my list to check out. When I pulled into the shared parking lot, I quickly found a spot. When we entered, there was no greeting, and we waited for about 5 mins until someone took our order. I'll let this slide because it looked like they were short-staffed with several orders ahead of me. I ordered a total of 3 drinks; a large mango smoothie with mango popping boba, a large Thai tea with boba, and another Thai Tea with boba in their specialty light bulb glass cup. Seating is available both inside and out. While waiting inside, I noticed some board games to be played. Even though they didn't have a lot of options, this is a great idea to have available for people. When we finally got our drinks, I was excited to take my first sip in this really cool glass lightbulb cup. But unfortunately, the Thai tea was super watered down. I think it was because it looked like they were trying to crush the ice to fit into the cup, and so when they did that, I felt like the ice was already melting super quickly. So when they poured the tea inside, it just made the drink super super watery and was yuck! Also, they really need to get special straws for this specific cup because the straws they had were not long enough for the cup, so I could not get any Boba from the bottom because the straw was so short. So what's the point, right!? The other two drinks were delicious! I took a sip of the other Thai tea in the regular cup, and it was super tasty. Next time I won't be bougie, and I won't get the light bulb cup because it will not be good. I suggest going with the basic cup, and it'll taste a lot better! read more

Not too bad. Small little boba shop in Gardena and first time being back in quite some time. Glad to see everything is still about the same and no real changes. I got the taro smoothie and it was just as good as I remember it. The staff were friendly and greeted us soon as we walked in the door. I think they could use more flavor options but otherwise taste and quality was good! read more

Great boba, cute boba spot to stop by. Good food too . However the owner is rude to employees, you can hear her screaming at them while waiting for your items. read more

I ordered from grub hub as late as 10:25. Noticed the smoothie had a large thick straw, which is perfect for a smoothie. Took one sip of my mango smoothie had was so impressed. Very tasty. Not ordinary at all. I'll order again and again. I've only had 3 sips but I had to jump on yelp and rave about it :) The mango is so good that I probably won't try any of the other flavors, at least not for a while. Exceeded expectations. read more

There is no air conditioner and the boss is really rude and she doesn't treat her workers well! The drinks are great but are very pricey. Everything is pricey ! The workers are so nice. read more

The tempura fries (with cheese) are worth the visit. Perfectly flavored to eat with or without the beast sauce. I add some popcorn chicken for the perfect cheat meal. Smoothies are always refreshing. Got the strawberry, pineapple and the pineapple banana with boba. Order food ahead of time. It's worth it, but it takes a while. Their website has an online order system and I'd do it around 20 minutes ahead of coming to pick it up. Staff is always nice and friendly. read more

While visiting L.A we walked into this little hole in the wall. Ordered the rose pedal milk tea with boba. Unexpectedly your literately eating rose petals. It's a very sweet drink. Over all its your typical boba drink. Refreshing. read more

I worked at this boba shop, and I feel the need to share my experience for anyone considering working here. Honestly, I couldn't stay any longer because of how toxic the environment was. The boss was incredibly disrespectful to the staff. She would make racist and degrading comments towards us, constantly talking down to employees about their looks, work ethic, and even personal lives. It was shocking how she belittled everyone, not just in private but in front of other employees and customers. She would openly gossip about staff members to others, calling them names or complaining about how they looked or worked. It felt like she had no regard for any of us as people. On top of that, she was constantly yelling and giving rude, harsh commands. It was like walking on eggshells every day because you never knew when you'd be snapped at or humiliated in front of others. I stayed as long as I did because I needed the job, but I ultimately couldn't handle the toxic, degrading atmosphere any longer. No one should have to work in an environment like that. I hope things change, but I wouldn't recommend working here unless you want to deal with constant negativity and disrespect. When I quit this job she told me I owed her money because of an Apple juice that I bought from the shop. She accused me of stealing this for months when I showed her my Apple wallet and that I obviously had purchased it. I went to go pick up my check and she made a scene in front of customers saying I owed her money and she took my check away and refused to give it back until I paid the money I owed her. Once she took the check back she ended up deducting the money HERSELF from my check. Please don't support this business. She constantly is rude towards her employees, takes days to give them their checks, not only the toxic environment but the drinks are overpriced and not even that good and not to mention how unsanitary this place is. I have had to clean dead bugs from the cooler out front and she reuses many things such as sample cups, straws, and the boba cups. She would also yell at us for making samples to give out to customers. Mind you these samples would be out for hours and she would still yell at us to give them out. I have seen employees walk out on their first day just because they could not handle her negative attitude and work ethic. read more

I had a really bad experience at Boba Beast. The owner was rude and dismissive, with no interest in helping or treating customers with basic respect. It felt like I was being rushed and talked down to for no reason. Definitely not a welcoming place. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who values good service especially with these expensive nasty watery drinks ! This place needs to shut down ! read more

I'm always on the hunt for some good Thai tea. I don't like it too sweet. Most places just plaster it with sugar. Taking away from the fresh brewed process of tea. I got this one and it was legit. I was feeling like having something semi sweet so I asked for it to be light on the sweetness. And it was. This place doesn't have the reviews it should. Thought I'd shed some light on it. Keep up the good work guys. read more

One of the best boba places in Gardena! The boba was soft and moist. Can taste that it wasn't old or from the day before. Would recommend

My oh my... I came once again to this boba place because it was a last resort since it's one of the only place open late and wow I have been deeply disappointed again. I ordered a brown sugar milk tea and this drink is supposed to be sweet, and it was TERRIBLE. It wasn't sweet at all and the boba was hard. I've had this drink once before when I first came in and watched the manager treat the owners horribly, but wow this time it wasn't even the behavior but the drink itself was awful. Why wouldn't they add sugar to a brow SUGAR milk tea. Come on now read more

Was craving boba after eatiNg kbbq so decided to give this place a try. I ordered the almond milk tea with boba. It was okay but the boba was a little hard. However , the service was good and they have a seating area for you to sit and enjoy your boba. I had mine to go. Plenty of parking located in the plaza. I came on a Saturday night and it wasn't too hard to find parking. read more

Very overpriced boba. The pearls weren't fresh either. I can see why people get boba here for the different flavors but the basic milk teas aren't that great. read more

Boba Beast? Aw, I should've known! It's overpriced. The drink quality is worth at most $5. The service was as expected, but nothing that makes me want to come back. The ambience seems luke warm, or like the outside of the Phillipines or Florida - pretty damp. And I don't know if the owners changed, but there are many reviews discussing the mistreatment of workers. Yikes!!! read more

It's OK ... the shakes was okay . but the crape too much $$$ it's not a 5 star each fruit is $2 that's fuck up ... Nutella $2 too wtf crape look ugly to be $14 read more

Would give the place zero stars if I could but Yelp is making me give it at least one. Don't waste ur time coming here it's over priced and the owner is a complete a$$hole. She mistreats her workers and creates a negative atmosphere for all of her employees. Come here if u want an over priced, mediocre drink with rabbit $hit for boba balls. read more

The service was incredibly horrible. I believe it was the owner she is rude! Yells at her employees and treats them like garbage. I seen her taking her lunch break in the front counter how unprofessional. I don't recommend i've been a few times.... overpriced.... burned my food.... picked up boba that dropped on the floor. Come on please do better! read more

Delicious crepes. The service is great and this is also a good spot to order from on those lazy weekends.

Great customer service, great passion fruit mango green tea, a variety of options for jellies!

Quite happy this location is open late and was even more delighted to see their food selection. The crepes look delicious and are quite customizable. Ordered a green tea frappe with boba and I enjoyed their smaller sized pearls and the flavor was quite nice. Their horchata milk tea was not overly sweet and was a good interpretation of the flavor. read more

Boba Beast - Hours as of April 2021. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Gardena, California

Ambiance: small tea shop located in an old plaza, the screen menu was not updated Service: slow and impatient, the lady was training the guy, we stood there for long and didn't get their attention, all drinks here seem pre-mixed you could barely make any specific change over sweetness, ironically the drink came out short in weight, not even close to the lid Drink: plenty choices but poor quality and they charge high for every single addon Almond Milk Tea - ** added boba, lychee jelly, so so Taro Smoothie - *** average taste Price: $7 per drink after adding toppings, what you paid for totally not worth it read more

First time going here, and I ordered a smoothie at this place, I asked what the large charge was for, and the cashier told me for the cup. How tf do you charge extra for the cup? Where was I supposed to put the drink after I ordered it? I don't recommend this place and will NEVER go there again. Plus, they're extremely slow, and service sucks!! read more

My favorite go-to drink lately is a cheese foam jasmine tea. The best place for them is Happy Lemon, another boba shop kinda down the street. They feel like the originator and are the best version i've tasted. However, I am grateful that Boba Time serves them now since I frequent this food plaza often for Boiling Point and others. I'll get my drink from here whenever I can. My problem Boba Time's cheese foam drink is the proportions. It only comes in one size (as far as I know, cause they never ask what I want and there's one pricing) And it's a pretty tall cup, so it comes with A LOT of tea, some boba at the bottom and foam at the top. I don't think it melds well together. My boba was still hot and syrupy sitting at the bottom. A small amount of ice and foam floats at the top. And you're not supposed to just stir and mix it, otherwise the foam's sea salt flavor would just get lost in the tea. So overall it's a filling drink to get through the tea before you really get that great mix of all 3. I guess i'd like the option to order a smaller size so it's a better flavor experience. Just my opinion, of course! read more

Im giving them 3 stars due to missing items on the add ons option and the crepe was cold and most importantly they forgot to put whip cream and powdered sugar and that sucks! But overall the food was great. It would taste best if you add on powdered sugar and whip cream paid for it but they did not put it read more

What's really great about this place is that they'll take the time to answer questions about the the drinks (granted, I wouldn't have asked a ton if they were super busy when we went- we tend to go during slow times). We're lactose intolerant, so I'm always a little worried about what I'm ordering. I'm also not always sure what some of the flavors are, but usually when I go for boba it's busy and I feel guilty asking when people are waiting. It was so refreshing to get such great service, an awesome explanation, and such a great product. We've been back three times and every time we try something new and area really happy with what we get. They very specifically told us that if we hate what we get, let them know. Looking at some of the reviews that are negative shocks me, as we've had boba available every time (boba takes a long time to make/cool down so we understand when it's not available), the drinks have been on point, and our service and prices have always matched. Definitely give this place a try, it's one of our top three in the Beach Cities area and we drink a LOT of boba tea! read more

Boba Beast is a cute boba cafe with amazing service and tasty treats. Everything I've tried here so far has been beyond satisfying. Good food, good service, good vibes. It's the kind of spot where everyone in line is chatting and locals meet to play board games together. Fast service even when busy and the prices are more than fair for the quality. Definitely adding to my list of great bubble tea cafes in Gardena. read more

I've been here a few times now & the boba drinks could have a little more flavor. It's a small place with no accessible restroom. There's a lot of options on the menu though (shaved ice, milk teas, smoothies, crepes, etc.). I'd say the best aspect of this place is that they're open late on weekends. read more
