Really good tea spot. Prices are on the higher end ($6 average range), but you do get the nice aesthetics and some unique options. Note card only and all street parking but not on an overly busy intersection. We tried: + Yuzu yuzu: a fruity refreshing drink that's on the sweeter end with the honey. You do get the yuzu bits that adds texture even if you don't add toppings like boba. + Oreo matcha latte: definitely a nice dessert drink. The oreo is fairly crushed at the bottom, so make sure to stir well before drinking. The spot doesn't seem to get overly busy, so could be a nice spot to work or even play card games. They have a few games available like Cards Against Humanity, Uno, and Monopoly Deal. read more

I had been wanting to try this boba place for a while, but I would always go to my usual spots. Then, one day, my boyfriend and I were trying to find a place to work/do homework, but we didn't want to go to Starbucks. So we decided to stop by Boba Box and check it out. There's plenty of street parking. As soon as you walk in, there are two kiosks/tablets on the right side, where you can place your order. You can customize your drink however you want it. They do charge $0.50 if you order your drink with no ice. I found that to be a little odd. But okay, maybe because they have to fill it up more, idk. They're pretty quick with the orders. They have 5 tables and outlets so it's good for working or doing homework. They also have this cute little area in the back where you can take pictures. There's a few games you can choose from if you're just haging out. They do sell Shin noodles and Lay's (can't remember what else) for $4.00. I think that's a little too much for a bag of Lay's....lol. I have tried their Tiger Box and Brown Sugar Milk Tea (it needed a little more flavor). I do order my drinks with regular sugar, so I just think it needs a little more brown sugar taste. My boyfriend has had Strawberry Matcha Latte and Matcha Latte with Lychee (I think). He said they were good, I didn't try them. We have been here twice. The first time, it was on a Sunday afternoon, and it was a little busy. The second time was this past Friday, and it wasn't busy at all. Overall, teas are good, service is good, and restrooms are clean. read more

Phenomenal service very cute addition from the last time. My ex husband loved the Boba Box. Cute esthetic decorum was very cute would definitely recommend. Decent price a variety or options. And they had decaffeinated options for the people with heart issues son that a plus. No need for a hospital visit with conflicting heart issues like my friend Trisha T. And obviously the neon signage for a cute instagram picture for the good olde content. Kid friendly as well coloring books and games. I think the winning element of the Boba Box picture booth so many points on that addition. Oh and they survived the COVID's which other businesses did not. Thank goodness. 10 stars for sure. read more

If you're looking for a tea-based drink, their lychee tea has a fruity scent and slight grassy note, the perfect drink to beat the heat! 3 best beverages? tiger box oreo matcha latte thai milk tea must tries! lychee tea watermelon sugar mango smoothie read more

We used Boba Box to cater our 8th grade graduation party for. Special treat for the graduates. They were very responsive leading up to the party and quickly answered my questions and provided a quote for different levels of service. When they arrived, they set everything up and the space looked very professional (I'm sorry I didn't get any pics of the set up). The self-serve station was easy for the kids to create their own drinks and we had some left over that they filled extra cups with and sent home with us. I was very pleased with their service and would definitely use them again. read more

A great local boba location in Monrovia! They have a robust selection of drinks that are delicious! I got a Jasmine Milk Green tea that was very delicious! The staff was also very attentive and nice. There's plenty of street parking in the area. This is a great space to get some work down with their high-speed wifi (be warned it does get really busy and loud once the local high schoolers get off school). read more

So glad that I found this boba spot! It is a bit out of the way for me, but I'm willing to drive here every once in a while because that's how good their drinks are. Their menu has a nice variety, including milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, coffee, lemonade, and many toppings. I tried the rose milk tea with boba, citrus sunset with lychee jelly, and lychee green tea with lychee jelly. For the rose milk tea, you can choose between a green tea or black tea base. I tried it with black tea and it was delicious. The flavor of the rose was light, which is just the way I like it. With the citrus sunset, I could taste both the grapefruit and the orange flavors. It had a good balance and I love that it comes with fruit slices. When I first visited, I was surprised at how big the store is. There are plenty of tables and chairs. There is also free wifi. The employee was friendly and brought my drinks out quickly. The cups that they use are nice and sturdy. It seems like a great place to hang out at. If this place was more convenient, I could see myself going here very often. read more

#58 in my boba store expedition - and the saga continues! I am always down to try new boba spots and explore the local bubble tea store options. I've been focusing on trying all the coffeeshops in the area after first moving here, but now I'm returning to my first love of trying new milk tea stores and narrowing down my favorites. That being said, Boba Box has officially been added to my favorites list. Boba Box is a cute shop in Monrovia, on the corner of Foothill and Myrtle. There's no parking lot but street parking is plentiful and easy to find. The store itself is huge and spacious, and the ambiance is pretty on point. I've tried a few different drinks so far and the quality has been pretty good overall - not the best milk teas I've had but consistently good nevertheless. What sets this place apart for me is the cure packaging of the drinks. I love the box shaped cups, which is so different from most coffee/tea places. read more

YUM, YUM, and ! Everything here is SO delicious! I definitely recommend anyone looking for a really good boba spot. The staff here are always so friendly and down to earth. They're also very quick to point out recommendations or names of drinks. Their tiger box tea and Thai tea are classic options while they have other options that are tasty and aesthetically pretty as well. They have a clean establishment and they have an awesome photo wall that you can take one for the 'gram! I definitely recommend this as a place for good boba and just a casual spot to hangout with your friends! read more

This boba spot is super solid. I got the brown sugar milk tea and it was on point--sweet but not too sweet, and the boba had that perfect soft and chewy texture. They've got a good mix of classic teas and fruity drinks, so there's plenty to try. The vibe inside is cozy, and the staff were friendly and quick with orders. Prices are pretty reasonable too, especially for the quality. read more

This used to be my favorite place for boba, so I decided to stop by after a long hiatus. The drink I got was one of their seasonal drinks, the phoenix oolong milk tea with lychee jelly 50% sugar. Maybe because we chose to get 50% sugar instead of regular sugar that the drink didn't taste like much. Even so, I couldn't taste any oolong, not even a hint. It tasted VERY diluted and gave my sister diarrhea right after... The drink was also very expensive for what it is, a hefty ~$7.50 for the drink. Note that there is only one size, so it was a medium sized cup at best. In comparison to local boba competitors, it is very underwhelming and I would recommend stopping elsewhere to quench your boba craving. read more

Type of venue: Boba/tea shop Venue Access: Medium; adjacent to a major street but not much parking. However, store is directly across the street from a large strip mall with plenty of parking. Time of day good for: Afternoon/evening Wait time: Party of 3 at 8pm. 0-5min to order; 5 min to get drinks Service: Good What was ordered: Strawberry milk tea Does it taste good: Yes Any grievance: No Price/Performance: Average. Drink tasted good but priced comparable to other premium boba shops in the area. Did I get a stomachache after eating here? No Would revisit? Yes but not soon Additional Notes: They do have some specialty flavors of chips that are asian themed (pork belly chips, etc). read more

Interior is cute and very spacious. This would be a nice study spot! Street parking was ample. I ordered the oreo matcha latte 50% sugar, less ice. The only redeeming factor for this drink was the oreo. I barely tasted the matcha. It mainly tasted like oreo and milk. Slightly disappointed as I expected to taste at least a hint of matcha, especially for a drink that costs $6.50. I ended up throwing away half my drink. I'm assuming they also didn't have the reusable cups since we just got the typical plastic cups. I would only come here again if I were in the area and needed a nice study spot. read more

Cool twist of a boba spot in north downtown Monrovia! Parking is street side, but can always park in the shopping mall across the street or in the nearby neighborhood. Love their interesting box shaped cups, good quality and could be reusable if desired. We tried their Matcha Oreo milk tea which compared to most others I've tried, had a lot more Oreo, yet also retained the matcha flavor- impressive! We also got their brown sugar boba which was solid. Definitely think they're a little on the pricier side but you can tell they use better/more ingredients and the containers/straws etc even are better quality than most. Also has a good area to study as well with wifi. read more

Boba Box - Good boba for the holidays! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

Tried to go here last December, but they were closed temporarily, bummer! Glad I got the chance to go again. LOVE the fact that they are open late, much different from the other boba places in the area. Very bright, well lit cafe with lots of seating and a nice photo op wall. Staff was very friendly and helpful with our order. I got the: Guava Green tea with Mango Star Jellies at 75% sweetness. -Even at this level of sweetness, the star jellies compensated and made the drink sweet, BUT yummy and refreshing at the same time. -Drink wasn't too tart either and the jellies had the perfect consistency. Very cute as well. I LOVE the container that the drinks come in and I'm glad they don't charge an arm and a leg to make up for the cost. PRO-TIP keep the little insert that comes on the inside of the lid. I accidentally just tore through it, but staff was nice enough to give me another. They have a 5 stars point system, just give them your number! Definitely want to come back to try their milk teas. read more

Boba Box is located in old town Monrovia, on the corner across from Yogurtland and across the street from the Von's shopping plaza. Street parking (free) is the only parking available. I decided to check out this tea house two Sundays ago. I ordered online, figured it would just be easier than to order in person and wait (same price as ordering person and no additional fee to order online). I ended up ordering: Black Milk Tea, $5- I ordered this drink for myself to be made with no ice and 50% sweetener. This drink came in a plastic reusable rectangular bottle which holds about 26 oz (I measured it). I thought it was funny that the straws they give you are barely peaking out from the lid and wished they had taller straws. Anyways, I was rather disappointed with this drink because it tasted as if the black tea used was over steeped, which resulted in a strong bitter taste. Rose Milk Tea, $5.50- I ordered this drink for my husband to also be made with no ice and 50% sweetener. Just like my drink, this drink was also bitter tasting, most likely due to being over steeped. ------------------- (Total= $10.50, tax included) When I came in to pick up my order, a friendly employee greeted me. He gave me my straws and placed my drinks in a plastic bag (he had asked if I wanted a bag). Please note that this place is dog friendly (as dogs are allowed to come in) and has a cute wall to take a photo with. But I don't think I will be back here. read more

I'm gonna rock your world like the way I rocked my bubble green tea. Now let's go on with this superstar review. Boba Box is a new bubble tea shop at the corner of Myrtle ave and Foothill blvd in Monrovia. It's inside was very spacious, clean, organized and well lit; atmosphere vibe was relaxing and welcoming with good music. Boba Box prioritize eco-friendly practices such as reusing our bottles and source our tea leaves from environmentally friendly partners. Their reusable bottles are BPA FREE and they use Soy Base creamers. Staff were amiable, competent and followed health protocol. Free Wifi available. Street parking only. Their teas were reasonably priced. I ordered the Citrus Green Tea with regular ice and 69% sugar. :D Service was moderately fastZ. Overall, I highly recommend this boba place. read more

What a hidden gem I found! I had no idea that this boba place would be THAT good. This has easily become one of my top 5 favorite boba shops. I wasn't sure if this place would be busy at 9 pm... so ordered online for pick up, which was very quick and easy. It was ready for pick up in 15 minutes. The staff was really friendly and let me know that they were actually out of oolong for the night! They luckily had other teas for my order. I ended up with the Uji Matcha Milk Tea and Rose Green Milk Tea. The Uji Matcha Milk Tea was a bit more expensive, but pretty good! It wasn't chalky and had a great milky matcha flavor. The Rose Green Milk Tea was what really had me hooked! The drink has rose petals and a strong green milk tea flavor. The balance between tea, rose flavor, and milk was perfect! It was so addicting. If this boba shop wasn't so far away from me, I would be here everyday. The cups are cute, the shop is spacious, staff is friendly, and the tea is amazing. A top tier boba shop in the 626 area. read more

The boba was cooked well and was nice and chewy too. I think this is one of my favorite boba places down in SoCal, and I would definitely come back here if I'm in the area again. read more

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - boba was good texture but no inherent flavor. Ordered 25% sugar and it was good that it wasn't too sweet. Overall drink was average and not super memorable Ambience: 5/5 - box counter was an interesting design choice, very unique. Love the green plant wall and it made the store feel much more comfy. Very much enjoyed the vintage lights with modern clean lines and spacious environment. The windows are well tinted and the ambient music is not overwhelmingly loud. Service: 5/5 - only customer so they were very attentive. Offered sample of watermelon tea that was extremely sweet but you can really taste the fruit. They were very friendly and they'll make your day. Value for price: 4/5 - container was cute and interesting since it was more boxy. Would do again if craving but won't go out of the way for this particular store read more

If you're in the mood for a boba, visit Boba Box for deliciously crafted teas and topping packaged in a reusable bottle! I work just down the street in Monrovia and saw this place open up back in 2020. I finally decided to try it with a few of my coworkers on a weekday - and I am so glad we did! They're located at the corner of E Foothill Blvd. and S Myrtle Ave. There is street parking down Myrtle Ave. Our cashier told us they "think outside the box" (get it? Because their boba comes in a box) and put their best ingredients in the box. They source their tea from environmentally friendly partners and use BPA-free reusable bottles and soy-based creamers. This selling point gives me more reason to come here over and over again and collect their cute Boba Box bottles to reuse. A total of 4 boba drinks come out to over $20, which is acceptable since the drink is customizable and comes in a reusable bottle. For my friend who was indecisive on her drink, the cashier was nice to answer all of our questions and give great recommendations. As for me, a person who has worked in boba places, made boba at home, and been a boba connoisseur since a very young age, I highly recommend coming here for a Green Tea with Aloe Vera! My coworkers loved their drinks as well. Boba Box is such a great addition to the Monrovia boba community. I definitely recommend! read more

Located right next to old town Monrovia this place is pretty good! They have a yelp checkin for a free topping. I ended up getting a strawberry milk tea with 50 percent sweetness.

BobaBox is the absolute best!! We held our baby shower here last weekend and all of our guests had such a great time. Leo and his staff were so wonderful to work with, extremely responsive, and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The space is huge too and so easy to decorate with its high ceilings, tables, chairs, couch, and well-decorated walls (green foliage!). Not to mention they have delicious drinks and mochi donuts made-to-order. My friends and I are from the SGV and know our boba, so we were all very pleasantly surprised to find that BobaBox's drinks were so good! The staff also knows their menu and products like the back of their hand and made spot on recommendations about flavors and sugar levels for each drink. Highly recommend their brown sugar milk tea with boba, galaxy box (it's the cutest drink with mango stars!), yuzu yuzu, and oreo matcha. read more

- Fun, inventive drinks that taste quite good - Nice, spacious interior decor - Extremely friendly staff When I came in, there wasn't any boba available - it would take a little while to cook, they said. No problem, this is a cute part of town, I'll take a walk. When the time came near I headed back to Boba Box, and one of the store employees actually came out to greet me and hand deliver our drinks. Amazing! Oh, and yes, the drinks are quite good here, I was pleased. 5/5 would recommend. read more

Boba Box is a drink shop that uniquely sells their drinks in a rectangular shaped cup. They offer classic teas, milk teas, special teas, matcha/coffee and also caffeine free drinks. Their milk is non-dairy; don't worry I asked to all my lactose intolerant friends.The prices of their drinks to from $5-6.50 without toppings. It's pricey, but worth it!! Continue to read why this is so. Drinks: I'm impressed. All of their uji/matcha drinks aren't powder based, but the real stuff! I ordered the uji green milk tea 1/2 sweet that if I were to redo it, I'd order it 75%. Their drinks don't run on the sweet side, so if you cannot stand sweetness, you're most likely to enjoy the drinks at 100%. My girlfriend ordered the matcha strawberry milk tea 100% sweet and it was really tasty. The drinks are given to you not mixed, so definitely give it a shake before putting your straw in otherwise you'll get a mouth full of strawberry juice, not speaking from experience. /: Also, the boba was warm when we received our drinks and it carried its own sweetness and excellent texture. One of the better boba I've tasted. Service: The lady behind the counter was helpful. She offered us to sample one of their passionfruit teas and answered all our questions. Our drinks were reasonably served on time. Parking: There is parking on the street directly in front of Boba Box. It is across the street from the Vons parking lot, so you can park there and cross the street. Overall: I normally don't give 5 stars to drink shops but Boba Box has my trust in the quality of their drinks. The drinks are prepared freshly, and they don't overpower their drinks with sweetness to cover up any inadequacies of the tea they use. Go! You won't regret it. read more

What a great boba place. I actually came to this area for another boba place, but there was such a big line that I decided on another location. Boba Box was open late, so I decided on come here. It was on a Saturday night, so I expected to see a lot of people, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was almost no one in line. Since we are in a pandemic, there was clear signs for social distancing and there were no indoor seating. The employee was super nice as I looked at the menu and I ordered my drink (I decided on the oolong tea with boba and lychee jelly). Although there was no line to order, I saw that there was quite a few people (not too much) waiting to get their drink. No worries for me, I waited outside and my drink came out in about 10 minutes. The drink came in a super cute cup. The tea was not overbrewed and the boba and lychee jelly was tasted fresh. All in all, I was glad that I found this place. I would definitely come back here. Just to note, Boba Box is located in the corner (at the end of the busy street of what I think is downtown Monrovia), so I don't think there is any lot. But, there seem to be plenty of street parking. read more

First off, major props to any business that opens up in the middle of a pandemic. I'm sure it's really hard considering all the challenges that we as individuals are going through already, let alone manage a business with ever changing rules on the daily. I frequent this area since I live not too far from here, and was excited to see on social that they had finally opened up. I remember the former business that was here, and let me tell ya...they've really updated the way this place looks! I love the separation between the guests and the ordering counter. It almost made me feel like I had walked into a store in the mall once entering. The green aesthetics and the neon signs here make it really photo-worthy for your boba drinks. I am a huge fan of their strawberry matcha latte, and would recommend this drink to anyone coming here. Their version of the tiger sugar milk boba is also really good, but be sure to shake it up before drinking it so you get the full experience. I can't wait until things are safe and I'm able to pop into a local boba and coffee shop to get my work done. read more

Easy ordering and easy pick up. First time trying Boba Box recently since we were in the area picking up dinner. Street parking is available as I don't think they have a parking lot in the back? We had ordered via Yelp their Strawberry Smoothie with Pineapple jelly and Brown Sugar Milk Tea. Not many places have multiple tasting jelly. I'm used to the lychee jelly flavor. What I like about this place is that the options and ordering process are easy. There's not many options to choose from which I think is great! Makes it a lot easier. Walking in was a breeze. Boba Box has that modern interior decoration. I was greeted as I walked in and picked up my order quickly. Drinks itself was great! Probably one of the better tasting strawberry smoothies I've had especially with the great tasting pineapple jelly! I didn't try their brown sugar milk tea as my wife ordered it but I was busy enjoying my smoothie. Price is good also which is worth it especially with the nicely designed box it came in. Definitely need to come back. read more
