First time there yesterday and I tried their wintermelon milk tea with crystal boba. I made the right choice asking for less ice and 70% sugar. I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself chugging it haha. I believe they use a black milk tea base and non-dairy creamer. The best wintermelon I've had was from Ding Tea, but all things considered, it was pretty good. They only have the one size here, I think it may have been 20 oz and the total came out to $7. The place is small; it has a few tables, your standard touch screen POS if you don't want to speak to the human cashier, and my favorite part was their two mini claw machines they had. I didn't get to try it this time but if I'm ever in the area, I'd come again. Solid place. read more

We have been coming here since it opened. The drinks are very good and consistent. The decór is really cute. Favorites include Queen Bee, Lychee tea, Thai Tea, Matcha Milk Tea, and Mango-Strawberry Freeze. They recently added croffles to their menu. We tried the Nutella- Almond flavor and it was so delicious. We should have gotten two instead of sharing. LOL They have a rewards system, which is great for frequent patrons. IMO - The only thing that prevents it from being 5 stars are the employees. They avoid eye contact, generally do not greet patrons when entering the store, and barely make eye contact when calling out orders. I am usually the one who says "hello" and "thank you" first. Sometimes I get a response, sometimes it's complete crickets. read more

Boba Bee - Thai Tea with boba (extra charge for boba) Lychee Tea with lychee jelly (included). - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

I was craving boba before a night out, so we made a quick stop. Parking: Free parking lot. There's a medium sized parking lot, so finding an open spot is easy. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a couple tables and chairs. Seating is very limited. There's cute wall decor and backgrounds for photos. Service: We placed our orders at the kiosk. Throughput was quick & efficient after ordering. The two workers we encountered were courteous. Drinks: I got the Matcha Brûlée, and my friend got the House Coffee with sea salt foam. The matcha brûlée came with brown sugar boba. I couldn't taste the matcha bc the brown sugar was very overpowering. The boba texture was good. The brûlée swirls were very faint. Overall, the flavors could use some improvements. The house coffee was thick and creamy. The sea salt foam was okay; could be thicker with a bit more salt. Pricing: Average prices for boba drinks nowadays. I'd visit again bc their milk teas are good, but I wouldn't get the Matcha Brûlée again. read more

UPDATE: in reply to the owner's reply - my daughter and I came into the business less than five minutes after ordering online. It said the order would take twenty minutes to prepare but we came inside 15 minutes early to wait indoors for it and it was indeed ready. The caramel couldn't possibly have dissolved into the drink in less than five minutes lol. They just didn't add it at all :) First time trying , daughter usually likes krak about five min away. Decided to try something new since we got pizza next door. Ordered online, place looks cute inside but no one greeted us even thought there was a few workers in the building. Even when I went up, the girl didn't smile or had any type of greeting or customer service. Order was ready early which is a plus but they weren't busy sooo. My daughter who is 6 years old said thank you before we left and NO ONE acknowledged her. None of the workers or the workers filming a video. Rude much? At least she has manners! Now I see what the other reviews are talking about the missing customer service. Ordered her a caramel milk tea with boba and it came out to $7.00. but there was no caramel sauce around the cup like the website and toast photos. Tasted like watered down milk and skimped out on the boba. Will not be back because of quality, price based on quality, and customer service. Plenty of way better boba spots 5-10 minutes away such as Krak, Monster on woodruff (a couple dollars cheaper too), not to mention the dozens in Cerritos ! read more

We were craving some boba and wanted to try this spot out since it was the closest boba shop to our current location! Location was clean, nicely decorated, cute decor. Service was great, we opted to order on self serve screen. We got the lychee, dragonfruit, mango slush with boba and I got the strawberry mango slush with boba. Both were good, boba was super soft and chewy! Perfect texture, a bit pricey both came out to be $16 total. read more

I tried Boba Bee and for the most it was a pretty good experience. We got the Thai tea slushie with boba and a taro milk tea with boba, both were good. They have a really cool self order machine so that made the order process quicker, and they have a pretty cool wall if you want to take any photos or videos. The menu is reasonably priced. Its your nothing cheap nothing super expensive. The only negative thing was the wait time. It took a lot longer than we expected for just two drinks. It looked like they had a lot of pickup orders, so I think those were being prioritized. Other than that the staff was friendly and it was a nice spot to get a drink if you just happen to be in the area. read more

(Please note, this is a review update posted so late that the promo mentioned is no longer offered at Boba Bee) I came on a pretty hot Thursday after spending the day out and about. I had run out of my one drink inside my car, and I needed another one. Even though the Lakewood Boba Bee is closer to me than this location, this one wasn't too far off from my last destination that I went a little out of the way just to give this location another go at watermelon drinks, which were half off. Boba Bee offers two watermelon drinks: Watermelon Wave and Watermelon Lemonade. The Wave comes with Lychee Jelly while the Lemonade comes with Aloe Vera, though either topping can be subbed out for a different topping at no additional charge. Though I was willing to give their Watermelon Lemonade another try, it was getting really hot outside that I wanted the slushie drink over the lemonade. Phone in hand with the "50% off Watermelon Drinks" email I received from Boba Bee, I asked the male bobarista for the prices, knowing they could be different from the Lakewood location, but I can confirm the prices are the same across both locations. This time, I wanted to have a little fun with my order. Instead of Lychee Jelly, I asked to sub that with the Aloe Vera, and then I asked for another topping on top of the subbed topping, which would then bring my total to an even $8. Except he forgot to add the promo code for half off watermelon drinks until I reminded him. I suppose just showing him the email didn't suffice; I have to verbally let them know my intent to use the promo. He handed me my receipt, which printed out a familiar name: Aerick. My very first Boba Bee drink was a Watermelon Wave from the Lakewood location, and Aerick was the one who served me back then. That could very well be the same Aerick, especially since an employee working in Lakewood one day could be working in Long Beach the next day. I have a feeling it was because his weakness at descriptive answers to my inquiries persisted. I had already tried chamoy on my last Watermelon Wave, so I was intent on getting tajin, which Aerick simply described as a spice when I asked what exactly it was. I still said yes to the tajin albeit dubiously. I noticed his female co-worker had started to make my drink even before my transaction was done, which explained why my wait was literally a minute. However, instead of saying my order number or my name, both of which are on the sticker over my cup, she simply said "Watermelon Wave" as she placed the drink on the pickup counter. I knew it was mine because there wasn't any other customer in the shop, but that maneuver threw me off a little. Hopefully, they don't yell out drink names in a full house, especially if multiple customers order the same drink! The first thing I noticed was how pink the drink was! I think that's because of my choice of tajin over chamoy because it looked more red with the chamoy, but since I'm not too familiar with the two, it's hard to say for sure. Also, the watermelon flavor didn't come out as strong on this one. It's still a good refreshing drink nonetheless that I was able to finish it before I got home. However, I'm not sure why the watermelon flavor was lacking here, and I really don't want to say it's because of the tajin being overpowering in taste. I'm more than willing to give the Watermelon Wave another try, but without the chamoy and tajin. I wanted to give the Watermelon Lemonade from this location another go, and guess who served me again? Aerick. Actually, he almost didn't have to ring me up since I was trying my luck at the kiosk, but unfortunately, I could not find a way to customize my order. I was intent on switching out the aloe vera for crystal boba, which wouldn't incur an upcharge. However, I could not find a way to do it on the kiosk, so I had to go up to Aerick to let him know. Aerick prepared my Watermelon Lemonade so quickly that I almost left without realizing that the bottom of my receipt didn't show my points balance. Aerick was happy enough to print out another receipt, which did show my points balance. That Watermelon Lemonade was much better this time around! There was more watermelon flavor here than in the Wave, but I think there could have been a little more. I still recommend nonetheless if you like both watermelons and lemonade. They also have some photos of their employees by the Boba Bee backdrop in the near corner. One of them even put their Pokemon Go friend code on her photo? lol that's a new one! The employees have been pretty cool for the most part, including Aerick. They'll make slip ups every now and then, but I've never seen them be rude or in a bad mood. And yes, the rhyme was intended lol. The verdict: Still three stars, but inching closer to four! read more

Small place but service is fast great drink options. When I found this place I was looking for a new boba spot this is my new go to

Mama Bee or Ube Cloud?? The Mama Bee (Ube Crème Brûlée) is extremely creamy and overly sweet. The drink is also not cold enough for my liking. To put it in short words it tastes like drinking frosting through a straw. 3/10 Ube Cloud (Ube with Oreo) is a slushy so it is much colder and in my opinion tastes much better. 8/10 I have tried a lot of the drinks on the menu including: Boba Bee Milk Tea (Oolong Tea) & Thai Tea 10/10- you can't go wrong with the classics and you can adjust the sweetness Tropical Breeze 9/10- this drink is refreshing and delicious. I wish the dragon fruit flavor peaked out more Pumpkin Chai 8/10- this is a seasonal drink and it tastes like pumpkin horchata! I really enjoyed this drink. Pumpkin Cheesecake 8.5/19- I was blown away with how good this drink was. I wish they kept this on their regular menu. Finally, I have ordered from this place before on DoorDash and they did mess up my order and forgot to add boba to one of my drinks. Not a big deal but something worth sharing. read more

Boba Bee - Pumpkin Cheese Cake (Large) Iced Pumpkin Chai Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

Was craving boba so I ordered boba for delivery. I got the mama bee ube crème brûlée with almond milk. The taste was off putting. It was extremely sweet. I opted 50% for the level of sweetness and it was still too sweet. The ube flavor was disappointing. I didn't taste ube at all. Liquid tasted like medicine that I had to ask for a refund. The matcha milk tea was delicious! Boba mix in had great texture and consistency. It had the perfect balance of softness and chew. Sweetness was spot on. Will definitely order this one again. read more

Walking in on a Friday night around 9 pm I didn't see anyone at the front so I thought it was closed. But as soon as we walked in, an employee came out to greet us. I really appreciated this as a lot of places with young teenage workers lack basic customer service. He was patient and stood there until we decided what to order. They were also playing Jonas brothers, which made me feel nostalgic! I got the Baby Bee which was really good, but some mushy yellow texture that stuck to my tongue threw me off. My bf ordered the brown sugar iced tea boba and his was really good too. I like the backdrop for the Ig photos! read more

Boba Bee - Baby Bee - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

It was my first time trying out this shop. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte, which comes in one size. The cashier was very helpful, answering my questions and recommending oat milk as the dairy alternative. The pricing, with this upgrade, was ~ $8,. I consider this borderline expensive. The taste was lackluster. I did ask for 50% sugar. Neither flavor (strawberry or matcha) popped. I expected more and was disappointed. read more

I have had better boba at a better price and kinda a thing I've been doing since I first fell in love with boba and honestly they wouldn't even rank in my top 5 and probably not 10 either. Service was good and the store seemed like it would be great as the ambience was dope as well to each so I'm not telling anyone else to not try it it may be your top read more

We were driving by and noticed that this was new so we decided to stop by to give it a try. As soon as I walked in, I thought the decor was cute. The two girls working that day were chatting it up and it seemed that my presence annoyed them. So I ordered my drinks and just waited on the other side for them to be ready. I ordered the favorites: Queen Bee and the Stinger. I didn't like the Stinger at all. They add ginger ale to the drink so I felt it gave it a weird taste. I ended up drinking the Queen Bee and liked it more but it was really sweet. The boa itself was okay but when I let my drink set, the boba got hard which is typical but usually not that quick. Based on other similar reviews, unfortunately, not sure if I will be back. read more

My favorites are the stinger, strawberry matcha and taro milk. The boba is nice and chewy, the taro doesn't taste like fake powder, it's legit sweet taro mashed up. The stinger is refreshing, a ginger ale infused with small bits of fruit. I was hesitant at first thinking I can make it at home, but it ended up being my most ordered item. The strawberry matcha is good, it's a safe choice if you're unsure of anything else. The milk teas are good, they're not bad and they satisfy the boba milk tea craving. The customer service is great, they're so nice with their recommendations. 5/5 would recommend read more

My fourth stop as part of my "30 before 30" challenge/adventure to go to cute (preferably animal) themed tea/cafe shops before I turn 30! I was not disappointed. The theme is top notch here. I love love love it. I will be back to try other drinks because I preferred my partner's drink (the stinger) over my usual peach tea. Which just shows I got to try more of their top 10 drinks. They are top 10 for a reason! read more

I'm used to small Taiwanese tea houses, so I always get a little skeptical when I visit chains. I rate by service and taste, so first the service. When I arrived, there was a counter opening and 3 workers talking just beyond it. I waited to be acknowledged but had to wait till the conversation finished. It was something about a show and a prenup if I remember correctly. All 3 had locked eyes with me for a second, each at different times, but it wasn't until the last one noticed the other 2 did nothing so he took responsibility. He asked if I had any questions, which I did, about modifying drinks, but they were unable to accommodate it, so I just ordered my default, as I always do if a request can't be done. I was then told "I can help you over here" and he led me to where the register was. The counter I was currently at, I THOUGHT was where the register was, but it was more near the inside of the store. It would help if there was hanging signs that read "order here" and "pick up here" for us first timers. When I got my drink, I got a plain green tea and a milk tea. My milk tea tasted like chocolate milk at first, and that only meant, it wasn't black tea, I think it was oolong as the base. Which was fine. If I go back, I hope they prioritize customers over conversation since that's how the store makes money. And maybe treat all customers like first timers, so we aren't confused about where what is. read more

The boba was alright overall but the tables and the walls were so sticky you would think there were actual bees living there

Love this place! It's become my new favorite boba spot. It's a tiny bit of a drive, but if I'm really in the mood for it I don't mind. I always get the Oreo crème brûlée. It's the best. Service is usually fast and the inside has cute little bees. I've taken my siblings here and they keep asking when we'll go again. I've tried their other location at Lake forest and it has a similar vibe. read more

This is our second time here, we wanted to give it another try. But I'm not sure why both times- the drinks have been mediocre. The drink I got today was extremely disgusting. Had a horrible taste as soon as you drink it. And a distinct after taste. We didn't notice until we were half way home and we live 10 mins away. Not worth coming back to tell them how much the drinks sucked. And we had to wait 15 mins for boba. When our drinks were ready they didn't inform us. We had to walk up the counter to ask and no one was there but us. Not coming back! Horrible customer service. read more

Love the look, not so much the drinks. I was looking forward to trying Boba Bee out when I was told about it. The outside sign and inside decor is fun and bee-themed which I really thought was clever. Looking at their menu though it is kinda just more of the same. The same old boba shop place silly pricing is there, if you want non-dairy pay $0.85 more to sub the milk out. If you want boba or a topping sure, $0.85 more. Thing is when there is a drink called Boba Bee it kind of implies that boba would be included. Pricing to me was a bit high, at over $15 for two drinks I was a bit taken back. I did not change my milk option but did add the boba "topping" in the Boba bee. Several of the drinks are non-milk / lactose as a standard, not sure why but not all need to be changed out if you are lactose sensitive. Something I have never seen or heard about before though, when I picked up my "Boba Bee" my son told me that mine was made fresh and that looks good. I questioned him about that after and he mentioned that his was pre-maid and came from a refrigerator. I was curious if his boba was going to be old then and although it was not as chewy, it was not bad per se. What was kinda overwhelming was the creme brulee that was on the bottom. I don't know if this is a new thing in the boba world but I thought it was like a clump of frosting and terrible. Another reason for my score is the amount of ice in the cups. I fully understand I can cull it back but a normal serving of ice here is more than 3/4 of the cup full. After we dumped the drink out we looked and yah the ice was still nearly filling the cup. Neither of us finished our drinks, won't be back. read more

It's a sign that boba is not good when a boba shop is completely deserted....we should've known better.... The Jasmine milk tea with boba had a very weak tea flavor and the boba was not soft. The blended taro tasted like it was made with artificial taro powder (my cousin owns a boba shop on the east coast and gave me some of the powder mixes so I recognized the artificial flavor). To be fair, maybe it was late and we got the remaining boba before they closed. I'm catching up on my reviews, so maybe they have improved since my visit back in December. read more

Ambiance was beautiful, it seemed like a great place to get Boba. It was very nicely decorated and It seemed like such a sweet place to enjoy a sweet treat with my son after a hard day. My son and I were there for a school fundraiser (1/27/26 at 3:30pm). Terrible customer service, we waited at the wrong counter for 10 minutes without being acknowledged at all. The two employees were busy making drinks but it would've been nice to 1. Be greeted and 2. Be alerted that we were standing at the pick up counter and not the order counter. When we noticed that we were at the wrong counter and exclaimed "Oh, do we order over there?" A sweet customer said "yeah , you order at that counter, have you been standing there?" Once we said yes and then got in line , that same sweet customer said "and nobody told you anything?" Which was exactly what I was feeling!! read more

If you like Ube drinks, then this place is good. Ube Cloud and Mama bee are my favorites. Team members are fast and efficient.

Parking is easy and plenty. The only thing is that they don't have a lot of seats inside so it's not really a place to hang and chill with your friends. read more

My new favorite boba place! I finally don't have to drive all the way to Cerritos or some other city to get good boba! The boba always tastes fresh and yummy! Also, since I'm a big egg/custard pudding type of guy, this place really comes in clutch for my pudding cravings! Some boba places don't even offer pudding . Oh, and they have an Ube flavor! They use FRESH Ube and even have milk substitutes! (Us Asian folk are often lactose intolerant after all!) I really hope this place does well and continues to be in business for many years to come! read more

Ordered through the online ordering system at 540pm and it says it will be ready by 555 pm. We have been waiting in the parking lot because they said they dont have boba available and still have to make it. The inside is nice and seems clean until we sat at the table... felt sticky. Plenty of seating. My fiance came in to check the first time and thats when they said it wasnt ready. Went to go inside to sit because it was too hot outside. We saw that the drinks were already made and bagged and no one said anything, the worker at the counter did not look happy about us being at the counter when they made us wait for the drinks. Customer service where?? We got our drinks by 610. Drinks were nasty. I have no idea wtf how they made these but the ube cloud had a distinct taste and tasted like god knows what. We didnt even realize this until we were already half way home. Which was like 10 mins away. Fckin unacceptable. Will not be coming back here. I dont recommend. read more
