This place is surprisingly so good. I came here and expected just another boba tea place but this one is more like a dessert place in the form of boba as opposed to a boba place that focuses on high quality teas with boba :). Although I'm sure they use quality teas here as well. I'm not one for super sweet drinks however, I really enjoyed my Cookie Butter Freeze. I ordered it with 50% sweet not knowing what to expect. The presentation was great, the drink had just the right amount to sweetness, anything over 50% for me would be too sweet. I added egg pudding and it worked well with the flavor. It was like dessert in a cup and was so yummy. My daughter ordered the ube Cloud with Oreo cookie crumbs and it was pretty excellent as well. I thought it was cool with the cookies adding a nice texture to the drink and it was not as sweet as my cookie butter but very tasty indeed. I would still order my Cookie butter next time though:). Pretty small inside and can get crowded fast but they got the drinks out quickly and were very friendly. read more

What's the buzz about this "new" boba shop? Is it going to bee good or going to sting your taste buds? I'd say it's definitely a serviceable boba place. Very decent hive! I got the brown sugar and it was good. Not great, not terrible. Less on the sweet side but still good. I'm going back only cuz it's close to my work! Kudos for a great location! read more

Little place with lots of the typical boba place choices. Very friendly cashier. Ordered the brown sugar milk tea with almond milk. It wasn't very cold...not enough ice. Couldn't really taste the tea...just tasted like milk. The boba was very flavorful but didn't love the texture. I don't think I'll return but it's nice to see more boba shops popping up in south oc. read more

You have to really want to come here because even though there is a lot of parking all the spaces are taken. I really wanted a ube iced coffee so I circled around and finally found a space sort of close. Once inside, there was a line and it was like a busy doctors office, people sitting and standing everywhere. It wasn't that the service was bad. There were just a lot of people wanting to order. I finally got my coffee and it was good, but I don't know if I would fight the parking and the crowds again to come to this location. I guess I'm gonna have to really want my ube coffee to do that. read more

Taking into consideration, consistency and taste. Location, and parking, pricing and service. We keep coming back to this location! read more

Boba Bee - Yum - Bubble Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I love the Ube Cloud boba drink and so do my kids. However, they really need some more employees working in the evening time. I always have to wait for way too long for a drink. Today I stood at the register for 10 minutes before someone helped me- there were 3 kids in the back SLOWLY making drinks and talking to each other. I don't ever leave negative reviews but this was not a good experience. I ordered 3 drinks, I was in a hurry, it was busy and the kids working in the back did not help the new kid make my drinks so I had to wait EVEN longer. Terrible customer service today. read more

What a cute little shop with great quality boba! I have been on a brown sugar boba hype and this one has one of the best ones I've tried! I got the baby bee which includes brown sugar boba and creme brûlée and it was fantastic! The boba was soft and sweet, and the milk tea was delicious as well! Service was friendly and efficient. I will definitely be coming back! read more

So sad they don't allow you to bring your own cup. I'm Just trying to do my part to save our environment from more plastic waste... Hope they change their policy. It's so close to my place. Guess I'll go to Krak boba... read more

Boba Doordash Experiment Successful! Hanging out at the pool and the crew wanted boba tea. To dry off and drive or to try and doordash frozen drinks? That is the question. So we tried a few new concoctions and rolled the dice. Ube, crème brûlée, matcha flavors. They have it all and you should definitely branch out and try new flavors here! Not too long later, our drinks arrived and DD driver had our drinks in a cooler bag - tasty and cold! read more

I love boba bee! The boba is super tasty and the owners are great people! Great vibes and location as well! Boba Bee is splendid!

Visited this place and thought there was a promotion, there's not. So don't look at menu on yelp. we order 6 drinks. Cup size is average for price. we tried their brulee series and it was just way too sweet. Got o e brown sugar and one ube. I DO NOT recommend the ube. it was sweet to the bone and wasn't able to adjust. They do not take phone orders so we did online. very efficient. drinks came on time. boba milk tea was decent. I think there was more milk than tea, but boba as cooked to perfection. not to soft and not too hard. read more

Boba Bee is a cute little spot! Located in the plaza with the Ralph's off trabuco and lake forest? Parking is usually pretty good but there can be busy days at this plaza. The inside is pretty small and there is enough room to order and wait for your order. The drinks all look pretty good! I forgot what I got but it was brûlée something because it has chunks of custard that were pretty dank! read more

Wonderful experience. I had an accident and dropped my boba tea. They were so forgiving and immediately cleaned up and provided me a fresh new drink. Delicious food/tea and perfect setting read more

I don't know why previous Krak Boba supporters are dissin' this place, when the owners, workers are the same exact people! Additionally, their drinks are similar to Krak Boba. In fact, some of their drinks are better than Krak Boba. The owner/s of this place just got sick of paying for high franchise fee and created a name for themselves. They also concocted their own formulae of boba drinks, which I quite like and appreciate. They have their own classic milk teas, and signature drinks. I mostly value their 100% sweetness level isn't disgustingly sweet especially when I forget to adjust it at a lesser level. Here are some of my family's favorite drinks: UBE CLOUD - Refreshingly delicious! If you're like me that doesn't appreciate overly sweet drinks, I recommend this drink at 50% sweetness. However, I forgot to adjust the sweetness level at one point, and it came out very sweet but not cloying. CLASSIC BLACK MILK TEA - Very good! My son and I love this drink. He gets his at 75% sweetness, and I get it at 50%. UJI GREEN MILK TEA - Non-dairy. My lactose-intolerant niece love this drink. OREO CRÈME BRÛLÉE - Drink dessert. I personally have not tried this, but it's one of my family's fave. Service is always friendly and polite here. I also appreciate that they have their rewards point. I forget exactly, but you get a free drink or BOGO half off if you reach a certain point level. My only complaint here is that they're so STINGY ON BOBA! I wish that they give more boba, 'coz the amount of boba they give is gone after several sips. Overall, I'm glad this place did not completely shut down, but instead they came back up with a new name and new delicious drinks of their own. read more

There are plenty of parking spaces. This boba place replaced Krak Boba, so it's the same store. Inside is small and one bench to sit on, but they do have outdoor seatings. I ordered the Boba Bee Milk Tea, which is a roasted oolong. The milk tea was pretty good, but nothing special or exciting. I'd come back to try their other series though. Recommendation(s): - Boba Bee Milk Tea Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - They accept Apple Pay - One bench for indoor seating, but some of outdoor seating - Plenty of parking spaces read more

I've tried a variety of different drinks here and they all taste great. You can also change the sweetness!

Good choices and everything is good. They seem to be always coming up with new menu drinks.

We ordered thai twist. Overall it was good but smaller cup size compared to the other similar options Service was fast and the ambiance is cute Great plce for a date! Will go back again to try other options read more

Krak has converted to Boba Bee. Same location and layout with a different menu of drink options. Hot as heck today, so left with 2 drinks. Both were a bit on the sweeter end of the spectrum unadjusted, so would suggest getting it with less sugar - especially the cookie butter. The honeydew slush tastes like a Melona ice cream bar. Will be back to try other items, but will also miss the Dragonslayer from Krak. read more

The Uji Matcha milk tea tasted like Jasmine Milk tea with matcha powder ~ my new favorite for this location. It will make you stay wired though if you are sensitive to caffeine. The watermelon slush is also really nice for hot summer days, but it does have a bit of an artificial taste to it. My mom likes this one. read more

I always go to this place because it is close to my house today I ordered a creme brûlée boba with extra creme brûlée, I paid 0. 85$ for the extra which was totally in vain because they did not put creme brûlée. The drink tasted and looked totally different than what I usually order, it had like a lot of white foam that tasted very salty, and the pearls I am almost sure they are overcooked because of the rancid and bitter taste a very weird taste. I don't think I will be coming back this place I will look for other places in the area. read more

I usually attempt to find a reason for bad food/service and therefore give businesses a break with a passable review, or some reason to justify it as an off-day, but the milk tea here is just flat out awful. This place uses a non dairy creamer, which is an excuse to cheap out on real milk. They are most likely using a soy milk, which is the cheapest one out there - esp with so many subpar brands available (this taste even worse than Vita Soy). That was bad enough, but why not indicate on the menu that it is a soy creamer so that people who are intolerant of it can be well-informed and not order that item. Problem solved, and those people (myself included the other day) don't go home with stomach distress and bloating because they are allergic to soy! Even if it wasn't a soy creamer, it was atrociously low quality non dairy creamer with cheap, inferior ingredients. You wouldn't expect this after paying $5.50 for seemingly high quality milk tea without the cheapskate offerings. I'm tired of being robbed and gouged especially during this inflationary times. Stop victimizing people by performing gouge tactics like this! read more

Prerty good boba, but some times you just dont want boba, needs snacks (like waffles) to bring me back more often.

I literally live a block away from here and did not know this place opened as it happened so fast! But it was a nice little surprise as their specialty drinks looked really good! As a fan of milk teas, I had to try their queen bee, which was crème brûlée milk, tea with boa. And I also had to try out their cookie butter freeze which is milk and graham crackers. This is a blended drink so you can't adjust ice levels, the sweetness can be adjusted. I had them both at 75% sweetness and it was just right in my opinion. Especially enjoy the queen bee, I am more of a black tea and milk person when it comes to Boba drinks. There is no inside seating area, and that's the only down side incase you want to sit and relax somewhere. But there are a few tables and chair outside that's right under the sun if you are looking for a quick tan. I'm glad this place opened up and I'm looking forward to trying some of their purple ube drinks. read more

If you want the best boba in Lake Forest you best come here! This place is so good I ordered two drinks during my visit. They have alternate milk options for most of their drinks which is super convenient. I ordered a honeydew freeze with almond milk and it was delicious. I got my wife a cookie butter freeze and surprisingly it wasn't too sweet and was perfect for my wife. This place is great, definitely going to be a regular here! read more

Boba bee was sooo yummy, I think if you like boba or tea or smoothies then you won't be disappointed

Grand opening. Replaced Krak Boba. Pretty standard boba spot with nothing exciting to offer. I prefer fruit teas and all they have are syrup no real fruit. Tried their peach tea with boba. Sweetness was spot on. Tasted like peach Snapple. Boba slightly sweet but misshapen/bit firm so 2.5/5 stars for the boba. Also they were stingy on Boba topping. Service friendly. Outdoor seating. Overall just plain jane average. read more

I love the drinks here. I drive 5 mile just for these yummy boba drinks. The staff is really friendly and the place is bright and clean.

Service was very nice and simple. The drink came very quickly, was very affordable, and the drink is supreme. I got a matcha milk drink, it was very tasty . The vibes were very chill and mellow, since I like lofi I appreciate this. I recommend this place! read more

Good! Love their creative idea of 'daily' specials-makes me want to come back for the occasion and 'deals' that are more worth it for the boba price! read more

We used to love Krak boba, and were thrilled to have a specialty boba shop in lake Forest. Overnight it turned in to Boba Bee, started playing very white music and changed to bee decor. The quality of the drinks seems to have gone down as well but the price point is the same. Strawberry matcha tasted "off" like low quality matcha and the strawberry purée had a funny aftertaste. Store was uncomfortably warm and it wasn't even a hot day out. Employees were nice it just didn't have the same vibe as it used to. Super bummed. read more
