    Jasmine Green Milk Tea with boba
    Jennifer G.

    This is now my favorite place for boba EVER! They have keto options for all the drinks with monk fruit AND they serve keto cheesecake!!!! As someone who wants to avoid diabetes, yet satisfy a sweet tooth from time to time, it is so wonderful when I can find places with reasonable options on the menu. To top it off, the staff is genuinely happy to customize - they don't act like it's an imposition - and the seating area in their café is clean and well maintained.

    An awesome, delicious, cozy Boba spot in Santa Monica. It's located in a small shopping center so there is a little bit of free parking attached. Otherwise it'll be street parking. Inside is really homely, and I especially appreciate the cat merch, all of the plants which are available to purchase, and they even have board games and coloring books that you can use while you're in there. The guy behind the counter was also very polite and everything that we ordered was ready very fast. They have a lot of great menu options and everything that we ordered was very good. I opted for the Brown Sugar Boba and loved it. The Boba was very fresh, chewy, but not overly so, and it had really great flavors. I love that this place does not use the cheaper syrup that some other places use. Overall, I would comfortably recommend this place to anyone searching for some good Boba.

    I've been searching for a great boba tea place that serves good brewed teas without added sweetener ever since my old favorite closed. Dr T is now my closest favorite! Delightful brewed tea with real fruit juice and soft boba! I got the grapefruit and a mango, both were delicious. Also felt a bit hungry so got the tender and crispy fried chicken, a huge portion with nice seasoning! The place is also a great showcase for various artists selling their stickers, notebooks, t shirts and wall art. They even have small plants for sale, each with a description of the plant needs and symbolic references. Service was personable and efficient, and they have a small parking lot, so a great place to come ship, eat, and drink tea!

    Spilling the TEA on this hidden gem boba shop in Santa Monica! Located conveniently next to Santa Monica College, @drteahouse offers an extensive menu of teas, coffees, smoothies and desserts. As someone of Taiwanese descent, I appreciate how they use premium organic tea leaves from Taiwan to brew their tea drinks, freshly boiled tapioca pearls, and offer one of the more authentic Taiwanese popcorn chicken snacks I've had in West LA. The manager was also very personable and friendly, greeting regular customers by name, customizing and remembering orders, and taking care to craft every drink and dessert/popcorn chicken order. I really liked everything I ordered, and I would definitely be back again to try their milk tea and smoothie drinks. If you're in the Santa Monica area, I highly recommend checking out and supporting this cute little shop with amazing service!

    The ambiance is super cute inside and outside. This cafe is located across Santa Monica College. There is a small parking lot. There are tables inside and outside. I got the regular ice latte with condensed milk and it was too sweet for me. The coffee flavor was good. Sean, the manager was super friendly and helpful. I want to go back and try their bagel sandwiches, Taiwanese popcorn chicken and just their regular ice latte and boba milk tea.

    i stumbled upon this place and was craving popcorn chicken and i'm so happy that i decided to go in. this little spot is super homey - the first thing that caught my eye when i walked in was all the cat stickers and merch from smaller artists! they had candles, tote bags, figurines, etc. i love supporting smaller artists and their art so i'm so glad they had a place for that here. i bought a cat sticker and the cashier let me have some smaller free ones! i ordered the popcorn chicken, the pieces are definitely big and worth your money. the cashier told us that there were leftover fries from another order, so he gave us to them for free :,) the customer service here was so amazing, and that cashier was extremely friendly and kind to everyone who walked in while being super helpful. my friend and i spent 3-ish hours there just talking, and there were even coloring supplies (paper, color pencils, markers) and puzzles for us to do! such a great spot to hang out and study too. there are a few tables inside and outside, and the parking lot is pretty small so there's a chance you'll have to find street parking. i'd definitely recommend this spot!

    Jasmine Milk Tea = unfortunately very bitter; felt bad asking for an adjustment since they were running out of supplies
    Laura H.

    The jasmine green milk tea tasted like it had oversteeped tea or not enough sugar for full sweetness. It wasn't too milky, but it did seem watered down, like just plain and bitter. I was sad that I couldn't really enjoy it until I added a simple syrup at home. I had considered requesting it to be adjusted, but I didn't want to seem like *that* person, especially when they were out of supplies and waiting to be restocked. When I was there in the early afternoon, they were already out of boba and avocado. I overheard that they were super busy that day, but it's still a bit of a bummer when a boba shop doesn't have boba readily available. Parking is very limited in the tiny lot, but at least it was free. Service was friendly, and interior had some cute decor and merch. You can sit inside or outside. Quite easy to miss this shop, but it'll be in the same plaza as Amai Coffee, in the corner of Pico Blvd and 17th St.

    Taro Milk Tea

    Love the Taro! Best boba ever. Oh and the lavender oat latte is so good Also the bagels areactually so good

    The cashier was very nice and he let me get a sticker. The sticker was very nice. The drink was also exceptional. I got the brown sugar one. The establishment was exquisite.

    Taipei Popcorn Chicken

    Popcorn chicken is probably the best in the area (better than most popcorn chicken in Sawtelle). It's not cheap but I guess worth the price. Matcha Latte was okay, just like any average matcha latte. The menu photo of matcha latte is a bit misleading (it has all those amazing matcha drizzles and white milk etc but take a look at my drink). Environment is nice, with board games, a shelf of blind boxes, stickers, and some other cute little stuffs. The collection is not big so if you looking for that kind of stuff better head to Sawtelle or Little Tokyo. Staff is friendly, efficient, and on point. Seems like he's all by himself for this sometimes busy place. Next time might give the cheesecakes a try.

The cashier signed me up for the "free" trial membership and urged me to get the "free" monthly drink. She asked for the manager's assistance with the process but the manager wasn't helpful at all. He told her to send me to the drink bar. I went to the drink bar and they said they didn't know what I was talking about so I went back to the cashier. The cashier who attended to me was suddenly gone. I asked the new attendant to help me and he grabbed a manager who told me to go back to the drink bar. I again repeated my situation and this young lady just shrugged and told me to wait. I then waited for about 10-15 minutes (way too long) for an awful tasting "tonic". Fool me once, shame on you. Food me twice, shame on me. Never again.

This smoothie packs a powerful punch, almost felt like liquid energy & helped with my jet lag almost immediately on my second visit in July! Inside | Loved the reggae music playing on one of my visits!! The surroundings inside includes plants, motivational/positive statements written with colorful chalk on a black chalkboard, as well as healthy snacks along the wall! While I'm wait inside, most people wait outside where there's more space or inside of their cars! Busy Bee | My friend and I were grateful to arrive at a time where there was only one person in front of us, and several people waiting! She enjoyed The Green Monster Drink! However, on my next visit, with major jet lag from traveling throughout Indonesia and South Korea, but craving a smoothie, there was an hour wait!

There is absolutely no good explanation why a smoothie should take 20-30-40 min wait from the time of order. We were told 15 min, which turned into 40. There were 5 tickets/orders in front of ours. They should have waited time displayed in front of the store. 2. customer service: communication with customers is non existent. They do not have designated cashier and swap out between taking orders and making smoothies, sometimes without warning. Someone can stay in the line and be next to order when the cashier just walks away for unknown period of time. Just a basic "please wait, I'll be back" would make a difference. 3. price: average of $17-20 per smoothie. Price to wait to final product does not justify the price mark. 4. their description of what's sweet and what's earthy isn't accurate, you'll find out what you ordered once you get it. 5. it is not a place where you can sit and enjoy your smoothie. It's basically an order counter indoors with dusty counter shelves. Pros: 1. some smoothies are pretty tasty (Strawberry Fields) 2. the look of the smoothie is sort of unique with looking like an ice cream cone. The only time I would go back is if I order way ahead of time and arrive at the time of the day when there is more or leas decent parking available.

My lessons learned after a few visits to the salad bar -- choose the smallest container possible (it will still cost LOL), don't come unless you want to wait in a line of hungry corporate business folks between 12-1 (I have seen the line go out the door) -- actually my advice is go early because later on everything is picked over (although the staff are really good about filing the salad bar items).
