love the boba here !!!Stopped by for a refreshing drink and tried an iced tea with almond milk. It was surprisingly smooth and well-balanced--the tea flavor still came through without being overpowered, and the almond milk added a light, creamy touch. It wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated. The staff was friendly, and my order was made quickly. Definitely a nice spot if you're looking for something a little different from the usual boba drinks. read more

Visited mid-July 2026 with my daughter, and tried their "Handmade Dumplings and Wontons", along with buying my daughter a boba drink. I know little about boba, being a diabetic, but the Wontons we had were surprisingly good. Granted, they are made offsite, but they were delicious. We'd definitely go back for a light lunch + boba, maybe with her classmate(s). My daughter thinks their boba drinks are among the best on the Westside. We liked the ambiance there, with games and manga videos playing, and the staff service was very warm. read more

Boba tea was good. Tea was fresh. I've never seen such a variety of creama tops before. The lavender crema and the rose were both delicious. The rose tea was absolutely floral. Yum! I'd definitely go back. Our server was a joy and the atmosphere was cute. read more

Cute spot! Park along the street at meter parking and walk inside the tea shop. They have a decent menu and butterfly pea tea is a speciality there. So I got the passion fruit one. I added both boba and pudding. I got it 50% sweet and that was enough. But I like that I could get sugar free if I wanted. There are games to play there if you plan to hangout longer. They have some small bites to eat on the menu also. Good service too! read more

I love the tea, the service, and the food! The shrimp and pork wontons with the butterfly tea are my go tos!!!! This place is a must try if you haven't. Love it here read more

It's okay. I didn't like the taste of boba, it didn't taste sweet and wasn't soft enough, the tea was okay, nothing special. The price is a bit high, just tea with boba 7.50 + tip and you can taste that quality is not that good. It was only one employee and she was great, very welcoming and fast. The shop was very pretty though! Maybe I'll give it the second chance ‍ read more

I have been coming here since it opened, for at least eight years. I have tried all of the butterfly lemonades, which are so beautiful and perfect if you want an aesthetically pleasing drink. I also love the rose milk tea and the matcha milk tea. The service is good every time and I love that they have a rewards card. read more

First time trying Boba Tea & Me on 7/24/25. After dinner at Sushi King, I needed something sweet. Walked over next door and luckily no line. I ordered the taro cream with 25% sweetness. I thought the taro was refreshing but maybe I should have gotten a different flavor. I usually get taro at other places with 25% sweetness and they always taste good. The service was good and friendly. The restaurant was cute and clean. I would come back and try their other drinks. Located on Wilshire Blvd close to 14 St. read more

Nice to have milk tea options out in Santa Monica. Boba Tea and Me is just about the right size, fast service, friendly staff, and very ordinary drinks. Seating is a high top and maybe two more tables with a bench, just enough. Mid-day they're quiet but they get more busy as the schools let out around 3pm. read more

We took a stroll in the area and came across this cute place. We were the only two customers there when we walked in and the employee came out from the back to greet us. She gave us time to look over the menu as we did not know what to get. We ended up ordering a berries and lime tea and a brown sugar milk tea. The drinks were both made quickly and they tasted great! The berries tea was very refreshing and not to sweet. The boba was a perfect consistency and was a yummy chewy texture. Def a good spot! read more

Boba Tea & Me - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santa Monica, California

This place is kinda meh -- definitely overrated in my opinion. The milk tea doesn't have much flavor and tastes more like milk than tea. The tea itself seems cheap and not very rich. The boba pearls are low quality too -- not very chewy and kinda bland. On the plus side, the seating is nice, and they do host fun events like the spicy ramen challenge, which is a cool read more

Great selection. Great service. Small and hard to find but worth it. Loved my Panda Boba

I was in town for an event in Longbeach and decided to venture out before heading home. A local vendor I met offered to take me around and suggested we stop here for drinks. I was so surprised at how cozy and inviting this store was. The staff greeted us and offered to answer any questions and provide suggestions. I got the veggie dumplings with noodles and sichuan spicy sauce and the drink is a passion fruit green tea with boba. That was one of the best dumplings I've had. And the sauce - OMG!!! The drink was so refreshing and really complimented the dumplings. 10/10 must try. I'm gonna be dreaming of those dumplings though. read more

I had the Lavender boba tea with only 25% sugar because I was really looking for something refreshing after playing tennis and it was perfect! My bf had the jasmine tea milk and I liked that one better but they were both really good! It's small but perfect for a casual date or hanging out with friends. The service was great as well! I will definitely be going back again to try their other flavors! read more

The tea taste pretty good, I have had better. I wish it was more creamy. It was a little watered down I do like they have the option to have oat milk. And I believe she said the non dairy creamer in milk tea that I got doesn't have soy, I'll try them again a few times. read more

Take my order! I understand the reasons that companies need to automate many functions of their operations. However, don't ever automate customer service and the overall customer interaction. YOU'RE A FOOD/DRINK quick serve. How do first time customers engage if you as a business are not willing to engage and welcome us? By automating the order, you have already created a barrier of impersonality. As far as the tea and boba, it wasn't my cup of.... I have had much much better. $7 also for a boba tea? Wouldn't you expect so much more? The shinning star was one employee that was really nice a friendly. She answered our questions and even gave suggestions. I'm glad that the frigidity of the business has not infiltrated her. read more

Been running around Santa Monica to check out new regular spots that used to be in the Palisades...Im so so happy to have bumped into Boba Tea & Me. Friendly service, the place was nice and clean, I enjoyed their crispy scallion pancakes and a great Boba Earl Grey Tea! Going back and making this my regular Boba Hub! read more

Got the taro with added boba at 25% sugar and it was still very sweet. Unless you want to get your week's worth of sugar intake, I recommend 25% sugar only. Close to Santa Monica UCLA health center so they cater to a lot of employees. read more

I came back here for a hot Thai bubble tea, and while I love the fresh Thai tea and that you can customize the kind of milk (whole, almond, oat) and sugar level, the major thing that was not so great this time around was the bubbles - they seemed overcooked! But the employees and service were great. Maybe it was an off day with their bubbles. read more

Recently tried the roasted oolong milk tea with pearls (full sugar, full ice) and I wasn't very impressed. The milk tea was not very strong compared to other boba shops and was too watered-down. Pearls were meh, not very chewy, so nothing too amazing there. They have a super cute aesthetic and have decent reviews, but I would pass on this. read more

One of the best boba places I have been too for sure!! The place looked super clean and the staff was nice. I was greeted when I came in and was told to scan the QR code to order. I wish they had something like a tablet to order on instead because it was a bit of a pain to do it on the phone and took a while to load and go through. Once I did order, my drink was made fast. I either missed or did not see an ice option when I ordered so I asked the barista for light ice and she had no problem with that. I got the lavender milk tea with oat milk and 25% sugar coming out to $7. I could see the lavender pieces in the drink and could taste it, but it was not strong which was nice. The tea also tasted fresh. I prefer my drinks on the less sweet side so that was perfect for me as well. If I am ever in the area again I will definitely be coming back read more

Love this place this is my go to Boba shop. Literally love the Boba here so good definitely recommend.

As my car was charging I yelped boba nearby and wala, found this little gem. Like all other boba places, usually has your basics but I ordered a peach mango tea with boba. What made it so good was the amount of sugar the lady put. It was perfect! It smelled so good in there. They sale fried chicken wings but I didn't try it. Very small place. They have a cute place to take a pic for the gram! Nothing to complain about but I will be coming again if I'm in the area. read more

I've only ever been here once! After craving thia tea for a long time I decided to try their cheesecake Thai tea frozen bob and it tasted nothing like Thai tea or cheesecake... they just put gram crackers that got all stuck and the bottom.. i still have some hope for the other stuff I've yet to try but that was my experience with that .. read more

The employees are always very nice. I would say their price is average for Santa Monica. I've tried a lot or their tea bobas and have been happy with them so far, as well as their green onion pancake. read more

I came here the other day during a lunch break and had a pretty good experience! It is small, but clean. The staff there were very friendly, although it took about 10 minutes to get my tea when there was no one waiting in front of me. I got a large classic taro milk tea with boba with half of the normal sugar and it did not disappoint! This tea was so refreshing and definitely hit the spot. It was a good ratio of boba to tea as well. The prices were fair. Overall, friendly service but it was a little on the slower side, clean place, delicious tea, and fair prices. I will likely be back! read more

Took my granddaughter here after school today and what a great experience not only was the staff so friendly and sweet but didn't mind my 10-year-old granddaughter being very indecisive We're super patient. And made the most amazing strawberry lemonade slushy. Boba drink. and definitely will be going back. read more

We are loving this new boba place! There really aren't many boba places in Santa Monica proper, and this is a good one. Pros: Great selection for kids since the butterfly drinks are non-caffeinated and there are many flavors of popping boba, good flavor, can customize the level of sweetness and the amount of ice, the popcorn chicken is legit, and the service is very friendly. Loved the honey ginger tea - excellent flavor, real ginger, not too syrupy sweet. The panda boba is delicious, soft, and chewy. Cons: Street parking can be hit or miss, the store itself is tiny, and as friendly as the service is, it is also slow. We'll be back for sure! read more

I had their Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with boba and half sugar/regular ice. The price was alright but sadly not worth the quality of the drink. The milk tea tasted watered down before the ice melted and the oolong flavor was barely there. The pearls themselves were a little tough and did not taste as fresh. I do appreciate the environmentally conscious paper straws. The service was okay and the worker who helped me was friendly. Due to COVID-19, I ordered online and waited outside for about 10 minutes for my drink. Overall, I'm not impressed and I don't see myself coming back given other options. read more

Awesome service!! The worker was very sweet and got me my drink I ordered (Mango Lemonade) in a very short amount of time!

I truly love this Boba place, you can tell the staff really appreciate one another and although it is small and doesn't have a lot of seating the boba is so delicious it's worth while. I had the pleasure of speaking with Nadia and she was so kind and well mannered that this spot has definitely become one of my favorites in Santa Monica. She also mentioned a majority of their food is made and sold to them by a kind woman that I can't remember the name of, however, I always appreciate small businesses relying on other small businesses! read more

If you are craving for some good boba, then make sure you check out their offerings. The one thing I love about their menu is you can choose the level of sweetness you want. They also have options for non-dairy milk. Please continue to support our local restaurants. They need us right now read more

Just Horrible. This place is NOT setup to actually serve customers. It's just a robot food hole essentially as they completely devalue their staff and customers. They only offer phone ordering system, even if you walk in as a customer. No cash either. My son and I came in and no one helped us for over 10min or asked us if we wanted anything. Just ignored us as they made take out drinks. We were the ONLY ones in the store. read more

Super easy, clean & efficient process to order delicious Boba on the Westside. I called to ask a few questions about their menu. I can't have caffeine so she offered to make any of their black tea drinks caffeine free! Amazing! Then placed my order online. They brought it out Curbside for me and I was happily drinking my Taro milk tea boba! It was sooo good and the boba was soft and delicious! read more

Wayyyyyy too sweet(selected 50%), matcha tasted like a completely different flavor and the color is dull washed out, boba was pretty firm and you can only get panda boba. Definitely disappointed. I wouldn't recommend, seems like low grade ingredients not real matcha etc. I couldn't finish it :( You also have to do your own order online which takes much longer than just having someone take your order and swiping your card. Putting in all my card details, email, name, then finding your drink etc... then it asks you for a tip on top of $7 boba. Be careful, it will also auto select a high tip even if you put in a custom amount, you have to confirm it. Almost paid $9 after putting in a custom amount and it not updating. Overall, these issues have NOTHING to do with the girl working there and she was very nice and helpful!!! Staff was great! read more
