I ordered off their i-pad and got the honey yuzu tea and when I got the drink it was just water, with yuzu flavor... I asked her why I didn't taste any tea and she said that's just the way it is... she remade me a milk tea though... will most likely not come back.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The establishment is very clean which is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can only order from the screen that they have. They seem to only have one worker working so please be patient. She was really nice in understanding what I wanted to order. They use fresh ingredients which is A+ in my book. I ordered a strawberry brown sugar boba tea and it was tasty. I would come back. read more

We were looking for something cool to drink on a hot Wednesday afternoon and decided to walk from the California Market plaza to this new bubble tea store a block away. This store is located in a small mall between California Market and Madang Plaza (H Mart). You place your order on the two touch screen monitors on the walls. They have a wide variety of teas, coffee, and smoothies to choose from, and you customize each order.everything is fresh and flavorful. The taro smoothie contained mashed taro chunks vs. a taro syrup. They use high quality durable cups to match the quality of their drinks. There are some seats at the window to gaze out at passers by. If you looking for something new to try, this is a great place. read more

Relatively new boba shop in ktown. You order with their kiosks. I ordered the watermelon torch (center). It's huge, lol. We were so surprised at how big the cup was. It is a blended watermelon slush-like with creme brulee on top. The fruits they used were fresh, so it tasted really refreshing, and the brulee added a really nice creaminess. read more

Craved some boba after lunch so we decided to stop by this little spot before heading back home from our mini-vacay! Cute space with Panda theme decor. Simple but cute. There are 2 self-service kiosks on each side of the shop to order your drinks. Plenty of options to choose from. Decided to play it safe and order the Jasmine green tea with the brown sugar boba & the taro milk tea with the brown sugar boba as well. I got both with light ice & 75% sweetness... First off I'm a tea drinker so I don't mind it not being sweet. The Jasmine tea was not sweet at all even at 75% sweetness (just an FYI if you're looking for a sweet option-this isn't it). That being said I still enjoyed the fresh taste and the brown sugar boba gave it the sweetness it needed. The Taro milk tea isn't what you'd expect. I ordered it for my kids because it's their usual request. My daughter asked why it wasn't purple and why it looked weird lol. There were actual "real" mashed taro in there and not the flavored sugar filled power as you'd expect. So if you normally like the sweetened purple powder; this isn't your drink either... my hubby liked it though. Overall, not sure how I feel about it. There were a few other drinks that I wanted to try but I was afraid it'd be too sweet. Now that I know their drinks are not overly sweet I wished I would've tried something else. The cups are so cute and adorable that I plan to keep and reuse! read more

New boba/tea shop in Ktown! I got the Butterfly Pea Jelly with Coconut Milk. Taste-wise, I'd give it a 8.5/10, and 10/10 for aesthetics. They also put in an ungodly amount of jelly, so much that I half of my cup was filled with jelly by the time I had consumed all the coconut milk. I was a little confused about their interior. It's very clean and modern, but the barista area takes up about half of the interior space so there's nowhere to sit and hang out. It would be great if they made more space for customers. Parking is valet so I found free street parking, but you can also park at the Madang Plaza. read more

This place is awesome! I love that my mango green tea was loaded with chunks of mango and not just mango flavored syrup which most places opt to go with since a syrup gives you the flavor and isn't perishable. I also love that they offer the smaller tapioca pearls instead of the regular larger boba. So many other boba places I go to don't have this option but they do!! They have a plethora of different options and I'm curious to go out of my way again and try them out. Plus, they serve their drinks in a sturdy 16oz plastic cup which I decided to wash out after finishing my drink and will reuse. Highly recommended! read more

Creek Tea (LA - Ktown, CA) Items: 1. Mango Yogurt Bingsoo | $7 | 5/5 Review: - One of the most aesthetically pleasing drinks! My drink actually looks like the one advertised!!! - The bingsoo, or mini boba, is my favorite toppings. Something small, easy to chew, and still flavorful. - I feel that the workers actually take their time to make your drink taste and look good. - The drinks are definitely on the pricer side, but I think it's worth it because their drinks are very unique. Parking: Free. There's a parking lot and street parking. read more

This spot was such a great find in an unassuming location. It kind of reminded my friend and me of Sunright. She got the mango bingsoo and I got the Thai tea bingsoo. I loved that the Thai tea bingsoo had what seemed like boba blended into the drink! I've never had that before and it went super well because it added some extra texture. The store is located in a corner plaza. When you go in, you order from one of two kiosks which are on opposite sides of the store. The placement is quite interesting hahaha. It wasn't very busy when we went, so service was pretty quick; our drinks were ready in under 10 minutes. read more

Some of the sago balls were slightly frozen which I loved because it created a texture similar to dippin' dots.

Located in a plaza near Ubatuba. Parking can be a bit challenging. It's more of a to-go kind of place with not that many chairs inside. You order at a screen and they call out your name when your order is ready. We ordered an Oreo brûlée bingsoo and milk tea. I was a bit disappointed that the bingsoo took long to make.~14 mins to make the drink. 3 groups who ordered after us got their drinks before we got ours along with a good amount of to-go orders. Nevertheless I love the quality of the drink. The tea really shines through of the Hokkaido on the bingsoo. read more

And I understand I got the 100% level, but I've always gotten 100% everywhere for every drink, even the brown sugar flavor, but for some reason this drink was at 150%. It felt like I was drinking a cup of milk with freakin syrup, like that Hershey chocolate syrup. I didn't taste any of the tea. Also, wtf is "fresh whole milk"????

I happened to be in K-Town meeting up with a friend and we decided we needed a bubble tea fix which led us to Creek Tea after a quick Yelp search. Being based in the SGV, I have some pretty high standards for boba drinks and this place did not disappoint. I decided to try out two drinks off their most popular section and both were very good. The Yakult Strawberry Green Tea had just enough Yakult flavor without being too sweet like most drinks with it can be while the fresh strawberry made it very refreshing and obviously paired well with the green tea that you could clearly taste. The Cheesy Mango was also great with the fresh mango not being overpowered by the sea salt cheese foam which had the right amount of saltiness while keeping the creaminess of the foam present. I'd definitely come back and try more drinks when I'm in the area! read more

These guys are the BEST BOBA SHOP in Koreatown!! I highly recommend the cheese foam (sea salt cheese foam) topping option if you like to add subtle sweetness to your drink. I just love the TEXTURE of sea salt foam... It just ROLLS over your tongue.. It's hard to explain so I'd say just try it out! I'm a fan of cheese foam topping I've been looking for one close by my work that has it; it goes best with plain drinks such as oolong or green tea or even plain coffee like Americano. I guess similar to sea salt coffee from 85 degrees bakery. I got to try the Cheesy Osmanthus Tea It's Osmanthus Green Tea with Sea Salt Cheese Foam (50% sweetness for a perfect custom semi-sweet tea) I'm glad to find Osmanthus tea option on menu ! because it has so many health benefits; it is a great detox tea & helps blood flow (clears statis), also known to cure rheumatism as well. It's like flower tea just like jasmine green tea. Plus when I see cheese foam melting inside drink it reminds me of SNOW... and Christmas... man... I miss watching snow falling down. **NOSTALGIC MOOD** Cheesy jasmine tea / Cheesy osmanthis tea / cheesy oolong tea.... make your Lattes Cheesy as well .... ALL SO GOOD. Anyways it's just SO MUCH BETTER with THE CHEESE FOAM. Drinking Tips: #1. Enjoy as is with your eyes first when it's all pretty (and take picture of course!!) #2. SHAKE YOUR DRINKS so that all the natural ingredients can be mixed well - this applies for ALL THE DRINKS, A MUST with THICK DRINKS, especially with super thick toppings such as TARO, red bean, etc. They have variety of TOPPINGS including white crystal boba, and Agar BOBA, Egg PUDDING, and ALL THE JELLYS. They also got TIRAMISU topping available. If you like some coffee cream on top, I recommend it. (I think similar to Tiramisu boba from Tan Cha) I haven't tried the CREME BRULEE topping yet, but It looked pretty BOMB too. They even have Charcoal, UBE, and last but not least... OREO. For no-topping drinks I usually go with Okinawa Milk Tea (roasted OOLONG tea with BROWN SUGAR) non-caffeine, tastes great & not many places have it. I think I'll try their Jasmine milk tea next time with rose jelly. (25% sweetness, super easy on the jelly because I like it not too sweet) Other drinks to recommend are all the fruit teas and plain black tea and green teas : Grapefruit Tea, Passion Fruit Tea are my coworkers usual pick, so you know ;) They also provide Non-Dairy milk substitutes: soy milk, almond milk or oat milk. Great option for dairy free milk teas, lattes, smoothies and slushy drinks (at Creek Tea "bingsoo" is milky slush drink, different than the usual spoonable bingsoos in other places) **They use REAL FRUIT, all fresh, natural ingredients on their drinks, that's why CREEK TEA taste so great ** much healthier than drinks made with powders or unnatural stuff. Trust me I worked at a boba shop before so I know when drink is fresh when taste it. You can adjust sweetness to your like on ALL DRINKS. (0%, 25%, 75%, 100%) Try lowering sweetness especially if you're watching weight or trying to lose weight. I mean,, the less glucose you take, the healthier you get. :) Dear Creek Tea: I SAID BEST PLACE TO DRINK boba in Koreatown but you guys own the BEST BOBA PLACE in LA . Period. I always appreciate your smile & your friendly customer service ! Thanks for the tea ;) read more

The Vienna Latte is so visually stunning, the layers of white milk, brown espresso, thick white cream, brown cocoa powder and Biscoff layered on top of each other against the dark green logo was so aesthetic. Having a sip before mixing the Vienna latter was incredible, the sweet cream followed with the nutty strong espresso flavour then getting a refreshing splash of milk made a great combo with the Biscoff. I actually liked the drink less after its all mixed because it was too creamy for my taste. (I normally like my coffee black) My hojicha latte was great, but it was also too milky for me. So I went up and asked if it would taste good dirty, with an espresso shot in it, and the barista said yes. I ordered an espresso shot and instead of charging me full price, they only charged me the add on espresso shot for the drink! ($1.50 instead of $4) It was very kind of them since it was absolutely my mistake for not ordering the right drink in the first place. The shot added much depth and flavour to the hojicha latte I was craving. Thanks for the wonderful service. I'm definitely coming back to try their other specialty drinks.

They are also dog-friendly! However, I will note that the outdoor space is quite uncomfortable :( The seats are metal and barred on the back & bottom, the upstairs patio is not shaded, and the main outdoor area is in between concrete buildings so every sound echoes and it becomes very loud when there are multiple people, in addition to the street noises and loud music. Not ideal for a workspace IMO. I think indoors is much better, but it is always filled.

Creek Tea is, without a doubt, the best spot for boba in LA by FAR. I've explored countless boba shops across the city, and none of them come close to matching the quality and care that Creek Tea offers. Their drinks consistently deliver a perfect balance of flavor, sweetness, and texture. Whether you're a milk tea purist or prefer something bold like a coffee-based drink, Creek Tea has something for everyone and they do it exceptionally well. Their milk teas are rich and creamy, with a depth of flavor that shows they're using top-tier ingredients. The boba pearls are always fresh, soft, and just the right amount of chewy--never soggy or overly firm like you'll find at other places. The coffee-based drinks are equally outstanding, No matter what I've tried, from traditional black milk tea to their specialty creations, every drink feels expertly crafted and tailored to perfection. What truly sets Creek Tea apart is their consistency. Every visit feels like a guarantee of excellence, with every sip reaffirming why they're the best in LA. They've mastered the art of creating drinks that not only taste amazing but also leave you craving your next visit. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out on a boba experience that's simply unmatched. Once you try Creek Tea, you'll understand why no other shop compares. read more

Good Boba store, the boba pearls were impeccably cooked, offering a delightful chewiness with each sip. What truly impressed me was their commitment to using natural and organic ingredients, ensuring a healthier boba experience without compromising on taste. The menu also offers a range of alternative options for those with dietary restrictions or preferences, including dairy-free milk alternatives and customizable sweetness levels. This attention to detail demonstrates Creek Tea's commitment to accommodating diverse tastes. While the overall experience at Creek Tea was wonderful, the limited seating space could be a slight inconvenience during peak hours. However, their friendly staff and efficient service more than made up for it. read more

After a less-than-satisfying milk tea experience at Yeem's Coffee, I decided to give Creek Tea a try, and I'm glad I did! Their milk tea hit closer to the mark for me, though I would have preferred a stronger tea flavor compared to the milk/creamer ratio. The interior is cozy, with four seats along the window, perfect for a quiet tea break. A pleasant surprise was their selection of teas with free refills. Ordering was seamless using their machine, and the staff were friendly when handing over my drink. While parking is generally ample, finding a spot can be a bit of a challenge during the lunch and dinner rush. Overall, Creek Tea was a satisfying stop for my tea cravings! read more

Overall terrible experience here.. I was here on Saturday and I think the cafe was understaffed so I had to wait 2-30min to get my one drink. That I can understand but I ordered the grapefruit cheese drink and I wanted to ask to put less cheese in the cup but since the ordering is kiosk only, I couldn't adjust it. And when I got the drink, it was literally only the cheese foam and no drink inside.. It was way too dense with only the cheese flavor inside the cup. I had to throw away the drink after one sip and I didn't even ask for another one cuz the order would take forever to come out.. I was really excited for the drink since I love boba but idk about this place.. read more

I ordered the Yuzu Lemon Tea, and this was just WAY too sweet. This is coming from someone who usually gets 100% sweetness everywhere. This drink honestly just tasted like they threw the honey citron & ginger mix I buy in the stores into some water and pumped a lot of sweetener in it. It was extremely deceptive as I did not taste any yuzu at all in this, and it felt more like a honey ginger tea than anything else. I ended up not finishing it and tossing it, as it was just unbearable past a certain point. The service was okay as it is just tablet ordering, but I wish the inside had more chairs and tables. Definitely not a place to hang out. read more

The Cheesy Mango was also great with the fresh mango not being overpowered by the sea salt cheese foam which had the right amount of saltiness while keeping the creaminess of the foam present.
