Boba has the perfect amount of chew and drinks were delicious. It also has cute, fun items for sale.

I was in the mood for a Spanish latte, which is condensed milk and any other type of milk. I got a Spanish latte, but instead of milk, they just added water. For the sweetness, they added condensed milk, which gave it the perfect amount of sweetness, The coffee was delicious and was not too sweet! read more

Been coming here since I was in middle school at Griffiths down the street (more than 15+years) it's nostalgic for me at this point but it never disappoints. Yummy treat when I'm in town and craving boba. read more

Fun boba store in Downey. They have so many goodies not just boba. Cute little hair clips, bottled Asian drinks, Labubu trinkets. Super cute! I only saw one worker and she hustles and knows what she's doing. read more

Have always driven by and finally decided to try this place! They make the best use of their space with the interior design. There's some barstool seating and a smaller table allowing customers to hang out. They have a tv running music videos and offer free WiFi! Aside from the drinks, they have macarons filled with ice cream and other snacks such as pocky for purchase. I ordered the passion paradise fruit tea with honey boba and a matcha macaron. I was so pleased by the freshness of the boba and the drink was just the right amount of sweet. The macaron was yummy; I would recommend waiting a minute or two for the ice cream to soften before eating. Also, the staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was I didn't notice any restroom available to customers. read more

Been coming here since forever and hands down the best tasting Boba. The service is well above average not Amazing but definitely above most others with zero complaints. Amazing service would involve having the staff be cheerful and extra welcoming and maybe offer to help choose a drink at the start of the transaction. But again they are very friendly and very prompt with the drinks so well done. My daughters are extremely picky with Boba and we drive up to 25 miles to come here on a drop of a hat. That says something delicious. The first time i heard of Boba was here back in the day and still 20 years later they taste amazing here and we have been to all the best in the OC. read more

The drinks and food was amazing loved everything thing about it. The girl that took my order was so nice so the service was good. And the Ambiance was cozy it's a little bit cold but overall I do recommend. read more

The boba was great me and my family loved it! But we only had one issue, the waiter was very rude. He gave me a dirty look and honestly ruined the experience. I have been coming here for years and never had this issue before; I have also never seen him there so maybe he just has nerves for being new. Overall, an okay trip. read more

Service: 0 didn't get get greeted from the workers, it was awkward. Guy was rude, When we were asking questions, we did mention it was our first time. Drinks :2/10 they were like premade already just seen the guy poor it into the cups from a container (something I've never seen at a boba spot do) Welp for my first experience never coming again. read more

I wish I would have read the comments before I decided to go. I had not been in years and I decided to give it a try. The staff were not friendly. They didn't acknowledge us when we walked in and had me waiting in silence. A, "hey, we'll be with you in a moment" would have sufficed but they just ignored us. Won't be going there again. I don't want to give money to an established that can't even greet their customers. read more

First things first one I'm biased towards Bobaloca because I've been going since a kid. I'm biased for good reason though. I've been to many boba places but they always miss. Their consistency is unmatched. The boba is always perfect. 5/5 for me I recommend Bobaloca. read more

It wasn't that bad. I was craving some Thai tea. Most places were closed. This spot was open. Downside is they mix the Thai tea with sugar already. I don't like that but whatever. The taste was ok. Too sweet for me. But what really disappointed me was the price. $6.25 for a regular Thai tea? Yea, definitely not coming back. No boba or other toppings. This is the most expensive boba shop I've been too. I'll pass. I'd give 2 stars but I'm not a hater. Service was good. I was the only one in there. Why is that? Thanks for the Thai tea but yea, Sugary, expensive and not worth it to me. But check them out if you want. read more

The place was cozy, yet the menu was small, not on the wall but in front of the cashier, and it was hard to see when someone ordered a beverage. When I ordered, the drink was pre made, so I could not customize your drink to your standards. My drink was good, but again, I couldn't order less sugar due to "pre made" from the morning. read more

Get the brown sugar boba milk tea brah fruggin bombaloca -1 star bcs cup broke but lady was super nice so i guess ill put 5 star

I agree with my Yelp friend Damien P... Bobaloca is A-ok for your late afternoon bubble tea cravings. The Thai tea (large w/boba=$4.50) is very sweet. Maybe a bit too sweet, but the boba was chewy and consistent down to the last tapioca pearl. The house milk tea (regular=$4.25) with strawberry popping boba was disappointingly bland. Service was nice and friendly (when spoken to, haha) on my first ever visit (5/28/19). I'll be back at it exists in a convenient area. Not right after middle school gets out, though. ***major face palm*** "¿Qué te la bebe?" Crossover Queen of pop and rock, Shakira answered, "Bobaloca, bobaloca, bobaloca."

Boba if you're in a hurry and a quick fix. Covid precautions: 5/5 Staff wearing masks. Hand sanitizer available. Plexiglass installed. Social distancing enforced. Contactless. Food: 3/5 I got the classic milk tea with boba. It was just a nice regular boba drink. Nothing fancy. If you want a quick fix, this is your place. It doubles as a small boutique so there's a lot of Knick knacks for sale so I that was very nice to look at things while waiting for my drink. read more

I've been to Bobaloca several times now since it's my neighborhood boba spot and I am definitely a fan. Their drinks are good and consistent every time. I've had the Chance to try the Thai tea and the coconut milk tea and both are delish! My favorite has to be the coconut milk tea, it's great. Overall I would definitely recommend Bobaloca for some good boba in Downey. read more

I have been to a lot of different boba shops and this one is the best! First time trying it. I was having a hard day and came in here and got the rose milk tea.

Don't buy the Novelty drinks in the bottles. It's a rip off and it's almost impossible to open. After taking the bottle home and could not open it, I returned it and the manager would not exchange it for another drink. read more

I saw this place in the corner of a strip mall and was immediately impressed by how charming, and welcoming it looked. Coming inside; - the atmosphere is pleasant and the temperature is comfortable. Cute bench areas with pillows to sit down on; & a huge varietey of coffees, teas, smoothies, and boba to choose from. However ; this place needs some TLC. The ceiling tiles are obviously leaking ; apparently water damage. The floors need a mop; badly, and there are no restrooms. I was also astonished by the prices! Especially since they are supposed to be catering to families & the nearby school crowd. $3.85 plus tax for a single macaroon is ridiculous. Also, there are no wall outlets to charge your phones. My smoothie was great, and the customer service was superb; don't get me wrong! But owners Please Please Please fix these simple issues; these changes can be made in a few hours time. This place has the potential to go one of two ways; I'll be back shortly to see which.. read more

Walked in walked out, horrible customer service. The cashier rolled his eyes when I greeted him.

Got the toro milk tea, the level of sweetness was nasty, pure syrup with artificial flavors and a hint of taro. Not worth it, had to throw it away. read more

1 star for consistency and 1 for taste. Lately all the bobista's are rude and have zero customer service. I'm always nice & say please and thank you but you get zero response. What's with the bad attitudes? Sooner or later their bad attitudes will affect the business. Good luck to them in future jobs read more

This use to be my favorite place until tonight. I showed up within open time and there was even 2 people waiting for their drinks. Well when I walked up to order I was told that no blended drinks were being made only teas and milk teas. Why? Because they wanted to close and not help another customer. And all within open time. read more

Despite the many options of boba in this area, I went here to give this place a try but quickly left when I noticed what looked like some sort of small rodent scurry across the floor past the lady making drinks. I would be careful ordering from this place. read more

Got food poisoning from one of their drinks due to their rainbow jelly having mold in it. I tried contacting the store's phone multiple times but they never answered over the course of a couple of days. They could really have made someone sick if they served that drink to someone who is immunocompromised. read more

Back in 2014-2016 , thiss spot was the shit . I loved their boba and drinks and it was like the Starbucks of boba spots . It's not that way anymore , they were empty it's kinda clean but the drinks don't really taste the same as before the ingredients were a lil rancid tasting and just bland overall ... for the price I don't think it's worth going to any more . read more

As a witness today felt very uncofy the owner yell at lady who want new drink because her tastee bad. I order alot of drinks there today. pero i dont come back because she was so mean to her customer. Mal servicio read more

I usually don't give reviews but this is my entire outlook! when did this place get so expensive? I went in early this morning and it's close to 7 dollars for a drink! Not even a grande at Starbucks is that much. Not to mention the portioning the boba is 7 dollars for a regular I don't even want to know how much it would be for a large?? Barista is quite serious and doesn't give off friendly vibes, not to mention how long it took and place was empty. The drink was also not too good for its price I prefer other boba places, too sweet and honestly just too much for the price. read more

Boba loca... what can I say. I've been coming here for maybe a decade? I think the drinks are pretty good, I love the mint chocolate chip milk shake. I think there's better milk teas out there but I mean this place is just pretty standard boba place. If it weren't for the mint chocolate chip shake I would not be coming here anymore.... I don't know what it is, I'm not sure if the owners are complete cheapos? but every time I come here I consistently see one girl struggling to make ALL thr drinks, take orders, make the boba with a line out the door.. and I have to witness the poor workers struggling to complete orders why customers get impatient and be rude to her.. ugh it's just like do you guys care more about the business aspect of things? When I first started coming of boba loca in like 09, the owner was always there and it's like if (she's around here anymore ) she can't come or can't have I duno maybe more than two workers on a Sunday? I really think this place needs to get their priorities straight... seriously, one person to make the drinks? I mean I'm sure it's more complex issue than that on their side but every time I come it's like this... Also they rid of their stamp card/reward system. So there's like zero incentive to come here ... every other boba place in Downey has one so it's like... I'm surprised so many people go here when they don't even reward loyalty in a sea of competition. read more

I came here to get the mango smoothie which tasted great. However the customer service was awful. I was not greeted when I walked in the door.

Yelped the nearest boba spot while we were driving from LA to SD, and this was the place!! I ordered the mocha frap with boba. Honestly, it was nothing spectacular. It was a bit watery and the boba was pretty hard. Maybe my boba expectations are really high since I've had the Best in HI.. But 4 stars for cleanliness and a cool dude working the cash register. read more
