    Ube Cloud (Large) and something with cookie butter
    Sarah K.

    Lots of drinks! I wasn't crazy about having to order on the kiosk but that's the trend now. Service was very friendly, if a little slow, but the drinks were amazing! There are some tables but it's really more of a to-go place.

    Easy to read and bright menu!

    I've been coming here regularly for a while now. I'm never disappointed at every visit! I tried the halo halo drink yesterday and that definitely did not disappoint. The service was prompt and quick! I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the place! Menu on the walls were well lit and functioning properly. Even thought catchy sign by the entrance was cool! See pics posted! Come check out Boba bee! I guarantee they won't disappoint you!

    Wanted to try a new boba place and this one came up closest to our place. A little more expensive than our normal boba place we go to, but it was worth it! Everything we ordered was so good! The shop is small, but cute! Clean and cozy if you plan to hang out and chill. We'll definitely come back and try more drinks in the near future. We tried the ube cloud with oreo, stinger, strawberry mango freeze, strawberry banana smoothie, and the oreo crème brûlée. All are delicious and definitely worth trying!

    Cute little boba shop that really takes care of it's shop. Very clean and organized. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I ordered the boba milk tea and it was okay, the boba, you could tell was a little older, but nothing to bad. I may swing by again and try something else.

    (Please note, this is a review update posted so late that the promo mentioned is no longer offered at Boba Bee) Summer is back, which means half off watermelon drinks! This was the promo that got me to try Boba Bee last year, and I definitely enjoyed the Watermelon Wave despite not being a big fan of watermelon. However, I can safely say if you love watermelon, I highly recommend trying one of their two watermelon drinks, especially if you can get it for half off! I didn't know about this promo until the first day when I received a text in the early afternoon and an email about 4 hours later. The email might have been a little misleading because it also advertised their summer drinks, which there are four of. However, only two of them would qualify for the promo: Watermelon Wave and Watermelon Lemonade. The Wave is a slushie drink and is worth $1 more than the Lemonade. I came in the later afternoon/early evening during the first day of the promotion, and the bubbly bobarista was ready to serve me. I asked her about both of the drinks, and I decided to go for the Watermelon Wave, which comes with Lychee Jelly. The Watermelon Lemonade comes with Aloe Vera, and I wish there was some mnemonic device that I could utilize to remember which topping would already be included in both drinks, kind of like the Queen Bee already including boba. The receipt's name said Angelika, but I can't tell if it was that bubbly bobarista or her co-worker who handed me my drink. Either way, they were both kind of chatty while my drink was being made that there was no way I could bump the rating up to 5, even if the Watermelon Wave were the best slushie drink ever. Like, come on, do I really need to know about what's going on between you and your boyfriends?! It took them 5 minutes to craft my drink, though I think they could have done it in 3 minutes if they were more customer-focused. The Watermelon Wave is $7.15, and toppings are 85 cents each. Doing the math, I wanted to add one more topping, crystal boba, so that after the half off, I'd get 4 points rather than 3. Toppings were a plenty in my drink! You also have an option to add chamoy and/or tajin to your Watermelon Wave. Unfortunately, after about 30 minutes, that Wave essentially melted into a Lemonade sans lemon. It might have lasted a little longer had I stayed inside the shop, but I took it for a walk around the neighborhood. I went again the following day and saw one of the girls working as well. Again, I couldn't tell if it was Angelika or not, but I know Nikolas was the one who served me that day. I ordered the other Watermelon drink, the Watermelon Lemonade, knowing all too well what had happened when I tried it at the Long Beach location last year. Fortunately, history did not repeat itself, and I was finally able to enjoy it to the fullest extent! If you like watermelons and lemonade, you will surely love their Watermelon Lemonade! I previously mentioned it comes with aloe vera by default, but what I didn't mention is you can swap that out for a different topping without incurring an upcharge. Nikolas was also pretty chill, about as much as a cucumber. Keep up the great work Nikolas! Also, they made a presence at the Lakewood Civic Center Block Party in late June, which I thought was pretty cool considering this location wasn't even open at that time last year. They also partook in Boba with a Deputy, although I wasn't there for that one since I was working at that time. Even if you don't like their drinks, you still have to appreciate their involvement in the Lakewood community!

    Staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations. Cute bee decor. I ordered their season HaloHalo dessert the had a boba, red beans, aloe jellies, crème brûlée, ube jam, with a creamy slush. It was true to flavor but the portion was fairly small. The boba texture was just right. They had orders to work on when I came in but I was the only patron in the shop, so I just had to wait 5-7min for my order to be ready. I think if u didn't have the time to drive to Cerritos (5min away) for authentic HaloHalo, this option is a great alternative.

    1 oz of ube in this  entire drink and has no UBE flavor for $8.00
    Steven R.

    The place is nice and clean with new equipment. The staff person is nice and made my drink quickly. I have been a chef for 40 years so I watch how they make the drink. The cups are tall and long and so they are misleading when you get one. I ordered the one cloud and I saw him scoop 1 ounce of be for my entire drink and used some rule of milk and not sure since it was in a plastic pitcher. The drink has crumbled Oreos instead I got Oreo powder and the drink has no flavor of UBE at all and with the extremely small amount of ube you will not taste anything. I the drinks are extremely expensive for $8 and for me it's not worth it. You are better off buying the powders and watch a few videos to make at home with more flavor and less than a $1 to make it. I have been a Ex Chef and caterer for over 30 years and also I cook Filipino Food and I know what UBE tastes like and I have had allot of Halo Halo in the past 30 years. Those are not Oreos it's just Oreo Crumbs that you buy in bulk because it's the same stuff I used on dessert stations. Also I have done Boba stations allot of times over the years for events. Sorry your product is not up to taste. Would it really hurt your cost to have a bigger cup since you are charging $8 a drink and most of the drink is ice anyway!

    The vibe of this place is always amazing. I go here quite often with my family. Every time we visit, we always try something new--not once have we ever had a drink we did not like--and the workers are always so great to recommend their favorite drinks. I think I come here so often I've been able to build some connections with some of the bobaristas. I just wanted to shout out Imart, Wheeler, Vocke, Aj, and Nick for always being so awesome. Every time I come to the store and they are present, their professionalism and ability to welcome guests with a smile tops the experience I have had with Bobabee. Whenever I have a lot of school work or need to study, I come here because they always play great music. Though, I do wish they had better tables and more decorations to really give the place a more aesthetic look. Another thing I would like to see in this place would probably be a photo-booth machine--I believe it would attract more customers. For those who are wondering what to get here, I really like the mango milk, as it is so refreshing. Overall, great drinks, great service, great music! I would highly recommend this place, and I think the other customers rating this place lower are just overreacting or are very picky.

    Great selection of different types of boba drinks, and the drinks are good. Brought some friends who have high expectations for tea and even they thought it was good. I get something different every time. I just like this place because of the variety, cleanliness, the staff are nice, and the reliability that whatever I get is probably going to be pretty good. Also the male employee with the curly brown hair is consistently happy to help and very knowledgeable about his teas.

    Ube Cloud (Large)
    Kathleen F.

    Stopped by this place on the way home. My order was the baby bee (creme brulee, boba, brown sugar) and it was good, but nothing special. The ube cloud had a weird after taste in my opinion. However, staff was very friendly and very fast with our orders. Overall, it was good and worth the try if you're in the area!

    Boba Bee Lakewood's Queen Bee
    Elizabeth G.

    I placed an order and about 15 minutes later, as promised, they were just finishing up my drink when I walked up to the counter. I ordered the Queen Bee which is a brown sugar brulee drink with boba; I specified normal sweetness and light ice. After a little upside down shaky shaky I took my first sip and it was superbly delicious. I texted my kids that it was the best boba drink I've ever had. They think I'm capping--but I'm not. I'll be back for sure.

During one visit, requesting a simple sprinkle of cinnamon resulted in an unnecessary comment, after asking for cinnamon on my iced latte, Marcy (a shift supervisor) looked at me with annoyance and said "just to let you know it's hydrophobic so it's not going to mix" On another visit, when I tried to order my usual iced Americano with cold foam, Marcy refused, saying "those are just the rules." Even when I asked to simply purchase a side of cream top instead, she refused to sell it to me--which was baffling, considering other staff members have been making this exact drink for me without issue for the past two weeks. After messaging the owner, he explained that the shop restricts drink modifications to speed up service. However, the obvious miscommunication among staff shouldn't fall on the customer. It was extremely uncomfortable to be shut down and given a hard time by Marcy. While every business has the right to set its menu rules, denying basic customizations and refusing to sell a side of cream top feels overly rigid for a local coffee shop. The strict atmosphere makes for a stressful customer experience.
