We came here to co-work and although there is limited seating inside, they got some killer drinks. It was super hot outside and we just came from a walkthrough at another business so we were feeling a cold and refreshing drink. I got their Coco Mango blended smoothie which was amazing, the coconut blended so well with their mango puree. I thought it was going to be one of those sugary smoothies but it wasn't at all. I came back shortly after and will continue to do so to get this drink. Parking on the other hand is tough because of the amount of businesses in this lot. You should be fine but it's definitely pretty tight.

I'm a regular at Teatopia and usually get the same thing: taro tea with golden boba and ube foam,…read moreso this experience was really disappointing. A petite Asian woman wearing heavy makeup took my order and immediately seemed unhappy to be there and very dismissive. She told me they were out of golden boba even though I could see other drinks coming out with it, so I settled for crystal boba instead. I understand stores run out of things, but the communication was already off. What really irritated me was the ube foam and the employees unprofessional service. I ordered it and was charged extra for it, but when I got my drink, it wasn't there. When I asked her about it, she told me they were out and then asked, "do you want coconut foam or a refund?" If you already knew you were out, why would you charge me for it in the first place? I wanted the ube foam and golden boba I ordered, not random substitutions after I had already paid. Another woman in a red shirt with curly hair then told us that to fix it, they would have to refund the drink and then have us pay again to reorder it. I understand the employees probably didn't create that system, but it's one of the most unnecessarily complicated refund processes I've dealt with. The store also seems to be out of something pretty often, which I know isn't always the employees' fault. What bothered me most about this entire interaction was the complete lack of accountability. A simple, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have charged you for that since we're out. Let me fix it," would have changed the entire interaction. Instead, she knowingly charged me for something that was unavailable, didn't tell me, gave me the drink without it, and only addressed it because I noticed. Even then, there was no real acknowledgment that she had made a mistake. And despite how frustrating the situation was, I didn't yell at anyone, cause a scene, or blow up on her. I stayed patient and respectful throughout the interaction. I think it's completely reasonable to expect that same level of professionalism in return.

This establishment has been around for many years--I would estimate since the early 2000s. It's…read moreconveniently located near the Long Beach VA Hospital and California State University, Long Beach (CSULB). Parking is plentiful, although the lot can fill up during peak hours since it is shared with several nearby retailers and restaurants. The shop itself is well maintained, especially considering how long it has been in business. Everything appeared clean and organized, including the small dining area where customers can sit and enjoy their food or drinks. Service was quick, efficient, and straightforward. The staff seemed pleasant, though my visit was brief, so I didn't have enough interaction to fully evaluate the level of customer service. I ordered the chai milk tea, which I enjoyed. However, from what I remember, they're particularly known for their mango green tea, which is refreshing and worth trying if it's still on the menu. Overall, it's a clean, well-kept spot with a convenient location, quick service, and a comfortable place to relax with a drink.

Is Boba Guys a ghost kitchen and maybe I'm just not tapped in??? I've been here quite a few times…read moreover the years and my feelings are still all over the place tbh. I've never had a drink I didn't enjoy but almost every interaction with a worker that I've had here has always been very awkward or strange, my most recent visit being the strangest to date so that's what this review will be about. I was shopping in the area yesterday and really wanted a nice cold tea so I naturally thought to go to Boba guys. They've added a self service kiosk since I've last visited but the group in front of my was currently using it so I decided to wait in line either for a cashier to come to the register (because all of the workers were in the kitchen) or for the group in front to finish. A minute or two passes and a worker peeks her head out from the back and looks at me so I politely wave to gesture that I was waiting and she like ran behind the wall and didn't come to help. This was strange but a little while after the self service register opened so I just went there but another group gets in line behind me now and the girl comes out and stands at the register which is really close to the self serve thing and is trying to gesture the customers over but they're not responding and idk I didn't look over but I could just feel the awkward energy. I finished placing my order and she was still there so I said thank you and she just ignored me again. I'm a bit of a socially awkward person myself so I'm trying to rack my head around that interaction as I wait and on the kiosk it said it would text me when my order was ready, but after some pondering I look up and a drink is sitting on the table and my name was on the receipt so I just took it even though i didn't receive a text or hear them call. It was delicious and refreshing of course I forget the name but it was from the summer seasonal menu. About an hour passes and I am long gone on the way to LA to see my friends, and I get a text on my phone saying that my order at boba guys is ready for pickup? If this is a ghost kitchen I think the notification system needs some work but I think it was maybe an error. To conclude as someone who is also a cashier, I completely understand that it's hard to engage with every customer and some customers just want to get their product and go, but I think treating everyone with an baseline level of kindness and hospitality is really important when it comes to serving the public. Yes the drinks are good but the vibe is kind of wack.

I've tried a few of their drinks, but I don't find the tea tasting special at all. The jelly are fine, but also nothing particularly stand out. My first visit I waited like 20mins near closing, which is waaaay better than the hour it was beforehand. And on a recent visit there was essentially no wait. I'm not sure I'd come back as I have other boba shops I much prefer nearby me.

Hechalou ceased to exist at this location. I suspect that owners broke away from the franchise and…read morestarted their own boba business at the same location. They changed the name subtle enough to avoid a lawsuit, but the changes in the menu and the quality of the drinks are far more drastic, and it's not for the better. Gone are the traditional teas and sesame jelly that made Hechalou so famous. These options are replaced by cheap imitations of Starbucks' frothy drinks that sound good on paper but taste like iced piss with sugar. The drinks are excessively sweet, a mortal sin by Asian standard, and they have a generic taste that might as well have one item on the entire menu. Alas, to get a sip of the old favorites, now I have to drive across town instead of stop by after work. I am glad that I got my many trips here before the old guards died, and it's probably better for my hemoglobin A1c in the long run.

But I also ordered a second drink and got myself a passion fruit green tea, and it came with actual passion fruit pulp, and it tasted like I was eating the fruit itself. Freaking delicious!

The staff was great; they helped me pick the right drink and answered all my questions. A spot that if it were closer to home in North Hollywood, I'd visit every day! Very good!

I was also at the nearby Daiso doing some light shopping so I wasn't so far away from it. It's located past the Kaiser building on PCH. The parking lot is shared with a nail and hair salon and a relator place, so it's pretty busy. I was lucky to get parking. I think there's street parking on Obispo Ave and Freeman Ave, otherwise park in the parking lot where the Big E Pizza place is and walk over. The inside is really cute! They have a lot of nice decorations, comfy couch like chairs, and the overall aesthetic is minimalist and clean. They have a small menu because most of their items are made in-house, which is awesome. I got their Jasmine Milk Tea - Oat Milk, 30% sweet. Tastes very good, not watery, the oat milk isn't overpowering, and I can still taste the Jasmine. I should note that the Oat Milk here is only $.50, whereas other places it's a $1 or more. I'll be back!

For a long time I was really into boba but a couple years ago I inexplicably stopped. After having…read morelunch nearby, I was suddenly craving a milk tea boba and this place popped up on my yelp app. As you can guess, the theme here is bunnies. Lots of rabbit decor, wall paintings, and statues. Very cute. There was a good amount of seating inside for those wanting to sit and enjoy their drinks. The bubbly young woman at the counter took my order and had it ready in a couple minutes. After looking over their extensive offerings, I decided on a Hokkaido Milk Tea with boba. You can request your sweetness level preference; I like sweet so 100% sweetness was perfect. The flavor was pretty good and I liked the squishy-fresh boba. I sat inside for a short time and was impressed with how the sole worker handled the sudden influx of customers (funny how they all seem to come in at once), never getting flummoxed and always with a smile on her face. This is an excellent spot to fulfill your boba tea desire.

I wouldn't care for this, but if you can't make the drinks right the first time, then maybe you should focus a little more. It's not that hard to remember cream, when the drink comes with it. The drinks were overly sweet even at the 50% level and still lacked flavor. Their premium tea is masked behind the copious amounts of sugar and not brewed long enough to have a lasting tea flavor. Also, is it normal to have whole tea leaves in the drink? This is the only boba shop that I know does this. Overall miss the prior establishments as they were more consistent and cheaper. Not saying they were good, but in my book they rank higher compared to bunny cha.
