    I used to go here a lot when I was younger for their milk teas and slushees but it's been a while since then. I was in the area so I got their regular milk tea again and it kinda tasted the same(aftertaste left my mouth dry). The service was simple, it gave me a neutral feel. Only thing that changed was some of the interior decoration and prices. It used to be $4-5 for a regular with no toppings and I got mine with no ice/no toppings and it was almost $7. Also it seemed like my drink was premade compared to making it fresh, it came out in a couple seconds. I'd rather go to another spot that makes it fresh/cheaper but that's just me. Also this boba spot is always packed with teens/young adults with their laptops; it's like a cafe where students gather and do their work so you might not find a seat.

    They have the viral instant ramen machine. This is the spot to get your boba, ramyun, taiyaki, and other snacks. My favorite has to be the Tteokbokki here. The best part is that this Boba Loca location is open at 9 am! Have you ever craved boba and had to wait until 12 pm?

    Taiyaki, pretty much empty inside. I got the red beans taiyaki and they used to be good but not anymore. Over cooked and no red beans inside.

    This is a great place for chillax and study. A lot of tables have laptop on and they were really here to study. They have free wifi and all the snacks like instant ramen, ice shaved, boba. The vibe was very nice and chill. The server was very friendly. I'd say food and snacks was pretty much you could find elsewhere but they're like local starbucks in terms of service.

    Boba Loca is a cute cafe in La Palma that just feels like home! The mixed furniture and kinda random wall decor (BTS tees?!) just feels so endearing to me haha. We had some Shin Ramyeon from those machines that you would see in Korean convenience stores and it just hit different! And we were surprised to see how popular the spot was for young students after school and grandmas gossiping. If this is your vibe, be sure to give them a visit!

    If you're looking for refreshing boba drinks and snacks, Boba Loca is your spot! We ordered their Vietnamese Coffee which was strong and slightly sweet, while their Strawberry Kiwi smoothie had the perfect balance of flavors. They have your classic boba snacks like popcorn chicken, but they also have some unique ones like their pizza taiyaki and countless ramen options that you can cook with their viral instant ramen machine! The employees were super friend

    Very great place to not just get drinks at, but to take some alone time to study as well. Drinks were reasonably priced ($11) for two drinks. I would recommend for those who come here to be patient with the cashier as it seems like there's only one person working here! Otherwise, super warm and fun place to get some late night boba. I would definitely recommend!

    Thai Milk Tea & Brown Sugar Milk Tea

    Came here on a Sunday around 5:34pm. Parking in the plaza. Service was quick and friendly. There was a lot of people studying but good amount of seating for groups. Music was a bit loud. Ordered the Thai Tea which tasted ok and Original Milk Tea with boba it was chewy and good. Cups were cool but one of the tops was not pressed right so drink was dripping a bit. I saw they also had snacks like ramen to eat as well which was cool.

    Ramen is very good and I added egg. And owner is very nice... Great place to meet friends and group meeting.

    Got three drinks: 2 green tea misugaru + earl grey milk tea and they were all so good! Would definitely come again

    It's a great place for adults to relax too. The millet powder is very tasty. I should come with my wife next time.

    Pina Colada Smoothie
    Gladys P.

    Had a craving for a pineapple shake but by 9pm, most places were closed. Then I found this place on Yelp and it was only an extra mile away from home. Looked nice and clean, seems like a perfect place for groups to study. I wanted a pineapple and banana smoothie but they were out of bananas so I ordered a pina colada and it hit the spot. They also have frappes (made with ice cream and milk), slushes, milk teas and shaved ice. And snacks! Waffles, popcorn chicken, sandwiches and more. Definitely will be back.

I placed a mobile order, and the process was smooth I received text updates when my order was confirmed and again when it was ready for pickup. The sugar‑free latte was impressive, definitely an 8/10. It was delicious with just a slight aftertaste, which is pretty common for sugar‑free drinks. I've had a few from other spots without that aftertaste, but overall this one was still very enjoyable. My husband ordered his usual hot drip coffee, which we always do when trying new locations so we can compare both iced and hot options. We're still searching for a place that truly satisfies his drip‑coffee cravings this one wasn't quite the winner for him. The staff was friendly, and the café has a good amount of seating, though most tables were taken during our visit. Very quiet and pleasant. Parking was also completely full, so be prepared for a busy lot if you stop by during peak hours.

I wanted to give this place a try while I was in the area since we have one in Garden Grove. Unfortunately that was a mistake, but fortunately I know not to visit the GG one also.
