Boba Indeed has been the best spot to study and enjoy great affordable drinks. I have been coming to this spot for months now and have enjoyed diving into their selections of drinks. No matter what I order whether it's a frappe, matcha, milk tea, slushes, or even their unique and delicious creations the service is SO FAST. When it's not too busy I have ordered a Thai Milk Tea and before I decided where I wanted to sit my order was being called up. Whenever I see Mont or Bella working I know I'm going to have any question of mine answer so sweetly and my order prepared so quickly. Recently they've made great renovations to the establishment. The sitting area outside has these cute chairs and is well shaded and makes for a relaxing spot to study and talk to friends. Their music plays classic hits from the 2000s that gives such a nostalgic vibe to the entire place and I return weekly if I ever need a place to focus on my studies and online classes. I have tried every lemonade at Boba Indeed and it has been such a refreshing order during this hot L.A. Summer. My favorite creation is the Up All Night as it's their espresso frappe topped with whip cream, chocolate chips, and coffee jelly that really settles my coffee cravings. You have to try their Small Bites! The mozzarella sticks are my go to. They're made fresh to order and the cheese pull I get from the first bite is extremely satisfying and delicious with their ranch. read more

Got these via delivery and was happy with the results. ribeye rice plate - 3.5/5 Good overall, meat was salty but overall decent for what it is. Popcorn chicken - 3.5/5 I had better but I also had worse, again good enough for a boba shop. Chicken meat quality isn't the best but the breading is good. Milk Tea - 4/5 Good tea flavor, no complaints. Thai Tea / Thai Coffee mix - 4.5/5 This was pretty decent! Rich flavor for the Thai tea / coffee combo mix. read more

Admittedly it's a quick stop, so i haven't tried all of their offering. Tried the chocolate milk tea -- and idea i've never heard before. I ordered normal sugar and normal ice, and they have the right amount of sweetness. Oftentimes i had to opt for less sugar, but they have it right on normal. Maybe because the boba is not very sweet like most places. I don't know whether i'd do another order for chocolate milk tea though, they somehow doesn't feel 'boba'-esque if you get what i mean. Service was swift. The place is rather small, a fitting spot for a stop and go. read more

TL;DR - New matcha series (delicious and unique flavors). Really really pretty drinks. Popcorn chicken and sticky chicken bites are delicious appetizers. Charbroiled ribeye is a must! Get less sweet for your drink here if you normally do that at any other place! I'm so glad I finally got to try this place out. They got a lot of options on their food and drink menus. The thing that stands out about this place is their drinks. They're really really pretty lol (and delicious of course). The food was good and they got the classic appetizers one would hope to find at a milk tea store. Their entrees are awesome too! The drinks that we really enjoyed were their new matcha series. The screaming strawberry matcha milk tea was really good. The cookie butter matcha milk tea was my favorite. I have a soft spot for biscoff cookies and this one was just... so good lol. The screaming blueberry matcha milk tea is a must for blueberry lovers. You don't typically find this flavor, so it was really cool to try it out. NOTE: the drinks run on the slightly sweeter side so if you usually get less/50%/30% sugar in your drinks, then definitely do that here as well. I was happy to see they have popcorn chicken! It's a classic milk tea store appetizer. Their sticky chicken bites were also good (sweeter version). The charbroiled ribeye was my favorite. I love ribeye lol The service was quick and the staff were so friendly. Ambiance is nice. There is inside and outside seating. Good place to study and hang out with friends if that's what you're looking for! read more

Came here on a lunch break with the ladies, we all ordered a smoothie and a selection of their sides, the popcorn chicken is a must, so juicy (thigh meat) and the coating is light and crispy. The gyoza, is also very tasty, nice and crispy on one side and soft on the other, so good! The calamari, did have a fishy taste and was rubbery, not my fav, it was crispy from the coating, but would not do it again. The mozzarella sticks looked promising, but the cheese pull was not present, and the coating lacked seasoning. The smoothies were outstanding, glad I made it a large. We had the strawberry banana and my friend had the pina colada, which she loved. We will be back to try more of the sides and a different flavor drink. Service was great, and the music selection was relaxing. read more

I tried Thai coffee with boba and it was good. This place has a lot of indoor and outdoor seating space. Parking can be little tricky with lot of other small businesses in the same complex, but there is McDonald and neighborhood Walmart close by. Service was good. Being there for first time, we took some time to order but the server was helpful. They do offer a variety of drink and food options. read more

Love the tea and the boba. The only thing I've noticed is that the tea appears to be a bit lighter in color and flavor as well. I usually get a black tea milk tea. It was usually a caramel brown color, now it looks very milky. The flavor is there, but not as strong as before. The girls working there are friendly. read more

This place has completely tanked. Overpriced garbage--flavorless, dry, burnt popcorn chicken drowning in so much Cajun seasoning it tastes like regret. Portions shrank, which is honestly a blessing; more of this trash would be a war crime. Boba? Just ice water with a sad whisper of color. Used to be my spot. Now? Total letdown. Stay away read more

Absolutely love this place! I've been coming since it first opened. I used to live within walking distance and would visit all the time, especially when they had the punch-hole point card system. My siblings and I loved stopping by to play board games because the atmosphere was always so welcoming and fun. As for the drinks, I haven't explored much of the menu since I usually stick to my go-to, the classic Thai tea frappe 5/5. However, I've brought many friends who have tried a variety of drinks, and they always rave about them. Here are my personal ratings: * Lavender Lemonade - 5/5, absolutely love it. * Lavender Milk Tea - 4/5, reminds me of Froot Loops milk. * Me No Pink Lemonade - 5/5, tart and refreshing. * Matcha with Brown Sugar - 0/5, not for me--I ended up tossing it when I got home. * Sweet Potato Fries- 4/5, first time trying them here and loved them. * Popcorn Chicken - 5/5, this is my go to. The chicken is crunchy and well seasoned and the sauce is so good. * Jalapeño Poppers- 4/5, good, but nothing special. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is due to an experience when the business was still fairly new. I had requested a small modification to my drink (I don't recall if it was a syrup or an add-in), but the owner or drink maker wouldn't allow any changes. Other than that, everything has been great! read more

There is plenty of parking, so that wasn't an issue. I love the overall aesthetics of the shop. It is pretty clean and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I might even say that it would be a good place to study/work. You are able to order from a self-service kiosk or with a person if you'd like. I got the Traffic Light, and I would say that it was pretty sweet overall. There is a variety of options to choose from, so I would definitely try a different drink next time. I would say that the Traffic light drink was quite refreshing and did have great flavor to it. The Traffic light drink has 3 layers to it - strawberry, mango, and apple jelly. The apple jelly I could have done without, as it was quite too sweet for me.My favorite layer was the mango layer. I would definitely come back. read more

What's up: Just finished up a volunteer event nearby to plant some trees and had a craving for boba. My coworker recommended checking out Boba Indeed since it was in the area. Parking: Parking is shared among the nearby businesses but there was plenty of open spots to choose from. Environment: Walking in, you'll see the self order kiosk on the right. You can place your order there or go up to the counter and talk to a staff member. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. They had loud music playing so it was hard to have a conversation. No restrooms available. When your order is ready, a staff member will call your name. What was ordered: - Jasmine Green Tea with Boba (light tea flavor, not very sweet. Boba is decent) Yay/Nay/Meh: Meh. I was expecting more tea flavor but the drink tasted very milky. Boba was ok. Credit cards and Apple Pay accepted. read more

I don't know why this has lower stars. Their drinks and snacks are delicious! For me, their calamari was a star. It was on the salty side, but it was so addicting and so flavorful. I can't wait to get more. Their coconut taro with pudding drink was also great. read more

Like that there is a fast boba shop in Downey area. It was hot this summer and why not get some tea drinks to go. So the place is right next to McDonalds so got to make sure you make a quick turn or you will have to loop around the street neighborhood. Space is small but they got the front street entrance which isn't hard to miss. I ordered three drinks and the hostess was really helpful and jovial. We laugh at the name of "sun of a peach" which is a great drink if you do order it. I ordered Milk tea, a mango slush and a three colored smoothie drink. All refreshing and definitely worth returning. read more

This is a really nice cafe in Downey. They have free wifi, many snacks and nice boba. The boba menu is great. The smoothie and fruit tea are nice too. I think the standard menu is a bit too sweet for me. The snacks are like frozen snacks and took out to fry. Staff was very nice. Clean restroom. Great vibes for working or chatting. read more

I order a strawberry and BANANA smoothie. Hopped in my car and it tastes like underripe banana. I was hesitant on wanting to exchange it since I don't like to do that but in this case I did. As I was waiting for someone to attend me I see over the counter plantains which is where that taste was coming from. I kindly asked to exchange it or upgrade and I was willing to pay a difference. At first she was but then told me she couldn't and only exchanged it for a smoothie which all had "banana". I did correct her and told her how what they are using are plantains and not bananas when the description clearly says real strawberries and banana. Looked like she had no clue what a plantain was. Overall disappointed about the customer service and the wrong description of products. read more

This was my 2nd time visiting & I've tried something new each time, this place has the best calamari I've ever had! It was Cajun seasoned served with a sweet & sour sauce. I also tried coffee with boba I asked for it mildly sweet & it was perfect, still had a nice strong flavor. I went around lunch time it wasn't too busy, service was great--any questions I had were happily answered. The space is very tidy & I really loved the music selection it was perfect! Will gladly return! read more

this is one of my fav boba spots. very nice place and people. However, I did have a bad experience with an employee named Victoria. she made me feel very uncomfortable, starting from taking my order to prepping my drink. she was rude, took my boba indeed cup with expressions of disgust. I thought maybe something is wrong with m... but while I sat down and saw how she attended other customers, I saw she attended them the same rude way. oh and I ordered a large drink and she filled my cup about 3/4. read more

I've been coming here since I was like 15 and they have the best boba drinks! So many flavors to choose from! The horchata and Thai tea one is my absolute favorite! With boba of course! The service is good and no one has ever been rude to me! The ambiance is so cute and I love the set up they have inside and outside! I would totally recommend for a night out with friends! read more

I've been coming here for years and it's always SO good and consistent. The Thai tea boba, the strawberry and banana and the lemon slushie with strawberry popping boba is our family's top faves. Best boba spot around. read more

Loved the boba here!! Came after dinner the other week and got the horchata with boba and it was the perfect drink to end the night. Boba had a good chewy consistency and wasn't overcooked or undercooked. The horchata milk tea wasn't overly sweet and the drink itself was smooth (not powdery) You order inside and wait outside to pick your order up. Seating/tables were not available yet. There is a small parking lot. read more

Decided to come out and try a boba spot since it's a hot evening. This is a cute little shop with ample parking outside. When you walk in you are automatically greeted by a worker and also have an option to get your order taken by a cashier or to do self checkout. I opted for self check out. I ordered the regular strawberry banana smoothie and it was given to me in no time. The smoothie is good not to sweet and sugary as other smoothies. I definitely recommend this boba spot. read more

Boba is consistently good & service is fast. I don't really like the self order options because I don't work there to be placing my own orders. Also the staff at the register is usually young & have little people skills- typical Gen Z stare & customer service. So 1 star for the workers because of their bad attitude & 4 stars for boba. Boba is good. Oh and parking is good, there's a small plaza with one that of parking stretching to the back. And there's side street parking too. read more

Our favorite teas!!! So good!! Love coming here for a great refresher!! Great service as always! The best boba in town !! 10/10 !! Prices are also such a great deal! The frappes & food is 10/10, nice cute little hidden spot! read more

This place is absolutely good. The food and service are great and they were very quick on delivering the order. Awesome Bobba! read more

Boba drinks here are sooo good. Love the fact they have signature drinks or Creation Indeed drinks. I am not a fan of 1k toppings/flavors & combinations. This makes it easy to try something yummy and not regret the 6 different toppings that dont vibe together. Place is small with few tables. Always clean when ive gone. Drinks are made on demand so the usual few minutes while your order is being made. Pro-Tip: Order ahead, you can place order without having to go through delivery apps. read more

Solid choice of Boba. They are fast and accurate with your order. Ambiance is very chill, only indoors seating. I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea with boba and Jasmin Milk tea with cream and pudding. They were both good. They have plenty of options and unique creations along with many add ons. There is definitely something for everyone. I ordered through their app for pick and it was easy to order and pay for the drinks. You can also take advantage of all the customizations (along with milk alternatives) which is great because not all stores have an easy app to work with. My drink was ready so fast and I was able to quickly pick up the order. I have tried many boba places, some great, some not so great, and this is a solid choice. read more

My absolute first choice for boba. I usually only get the same order, strawberry banana smoothie with boba, but my family gets other things and I think it's all delicious. The boba isn't too chewy and I love the taste of it. read more

Good Boba spot in Downey. The menu has a lot of options but it's pretty easy to navigate. There's something for everyone. I got the passion fruit blended ice tea with boba and crystal boba in SUPER SIZE, and my bf got the piña colada with boba and rainbow jelly in a regular size. Flavors of both were true to what we ordered and hit the spot, but what I loved is the supersize cup FIT in my regular-sized cup holder!!!! Most super or extra-large boba cups don't normally fit the cup holder making driving a cold-handed experience. Boba Indeed cups give your hand a little cold break. Service was good and the staff was friendly. They follow covid precautions so be aware they limit how many ppl wait inside for drinks or to place orders. It seemed pretty efficient when we were there. Good experience overall. read more

Boba Indeed in Downey is my go to boba spot. They have ALL the bobas! Rainbow, mini, regular, and so many other options for add ins. Their Vietnamese coffee with boba is strong and delicious, and the cheese foam drinks are surprisingly amazing, it's like a cream based topper that blends perfectly with the flavors. They've got a pretty large menu, including teas, smoothies, and even rice bowls, so there's something for everyone. The staff is friendly, the delicious drinks come out quick, and this location has both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a great place to treat yourself and hang out. 5/5 stars! read more

Just stumbled out of the gym, and really craved an ice cold beverage. Went with the second most popular drink, the Taro Frappe. A senior staff was training the new cashier but both ladies had no idea if the drink was made out of real taro or not when asked, which should alerted me that it was likely all sugar. But I was hot, sweaty, and thirsty so I remained optimistic. My first sip confirmed my earlier suspicion. Too sweet and definitely tasted like artificial taro syrup. I knew I was halfway diabetic by the time I finished that drink. Boba was average. The only thing I like about this place was the cool hanging light bulbs - so aesthetic. read more

Boba indeed used to be so good.....The quality has definitely went down a lot. All their premium drinks taste like nothing just slushy ice. Definitely not worth the prices they're charging.

I pass by this place everyday after work. My daughter , sister and nephew loves boba so I told them i will take them to this place. Long short story - we were there last week with my daughter , my sister and her 2 kids. We ask about a drink trying to order something different (besides Thai tea or mango with boba from other places) so my daughter could try something different. When we ask the lady about the different flavors she had a bad attitude - like damn , if you don't want to work just don't go , you make people so uncomfortable like if I'm getting the drinks for free! My sister ended up getting Thai tea and my daughter same drink as always. I don't remember what was her name but if I see her I know exactly who she is!! Worst experience ever!!!!! read more

Decent choices but not for "black tea". It's listed as "black tea" but should be Ceylon and if that was clear I'd would it have ordered. The cheese foam also tasted old, like it's been in the fridge for a while with an aftertaste. The 100% sweet is legit over the top and more like 150% read more
