The ube crème brûlée flavor is light but smooth, a subtle treat that pairs nicely with the tea. The egg tarts are outstanding. Perfectly sweet with a silky smooth consistency that makes them a must-try #goodeats item. Really sad this place is closing down at the end of the year. Definitely a better than average bubble tea shop. Service is pretty normal, and the space is small. Most people get their orders to go, but you can sit if you want. The interior feels like a renovated small Starbucks. No restroom, so plan accordingly.

It was our first time at Boba Guys. The 3 specialty drinks we ordered did not disappoint. Excellent…read morecustomer service at this Boba Guys location. As soon as we walked into the shop, we were greeted and asked what we would like to order. The 2 young gentlemen made suggestions and informed us of Boba Guys, popular drink orders and what customers label as their favorite specialty drinks. This fist time visit we ordered the Strawberry Fields, Dirty Banana Milk and Ube Latte. All 3 drinks were delicious and not too sweet. Strawberry Fields was yummy and you can taste the strawberries yet it's not tangy. Dirty Banana Milk was excellent and has such a unique taste. The banana flavor was great and wasn't overpowering the latte. Ube Latte was delicious. You can taste the ube syrup and not taro. We can't wait to come back and try other food items on Boba Guys menu.

I was impressed when we stepped in and saw them hand mixing some sort of concoction, possibly their house made Hojicha? I ended up getting the Hojicha latte and it was delightful. Not too sweet but not too bitter either, perfectly toasty. My only nit is that it's suuuuper tiny, so no indoor seating aside from what is offered at Platform (which isn't much). Not over on this side of LA often anymore but would recommend to anyone who is if you're in need of a quick boba pit stop! Easiest parking is probably just in the Platform structure.

I was craving popcorn chicken so badly, and Ume Tea is one of those rare places these days that…read moredoes good Taiwanese popcorn chicken and good boba! There's not too much breading on the popcorn chicken, and the flavor is so good. I also got the curly fries, which could have been seasoned a little more, but were til still really good. For a drink today, I tried the Oreo Crème Brulee Boba Milk Tea, which is sweet and chocolatey and creamy. The boba quality at Ume is also really good, and I've tried other drinks here too -- all of which have been great! Parking was easy (there's a parking lot), and service was quick and super friendly! Highly recommend trying this place out!

I'm rarely in west LA anymore but after going to LAX, it was a perfect time to go to Ume. We got the brown sugar boba milk teas, always a safe way to try out a new boba spot. Also, popcorn chicken and sesame balls. The drinks were 3 stars. Definitely not the worst nor the best I've ever had. Surprise cup holds 24oz drink then the bottom is pretty spacious for a good size little plushie. Popcorn chicken had no flavor. I'm used to Asian mild still having spice. There was none to be found. My kid barely at it. Sesame balls were pretty tasty. Overall, good if you're in the area. But I wouldn't drive this way just to come here

Thanks to the Metro Extension going more west, my wife and I decided to head to the grove over the…read moreweekend to walk around, which we usually avoid thanks to the crappy parking situation. When we arrived at the Grove, the first thing we wanted were some drinks so we headed over to Figure 8 Tea Project. This place was crazy busy when we got in line but the staff moved quickly and eventually it was our turn to order. I ordered the literal first thing I saw on the counter and that was the Sparkling Yuzu Lemonade. Now, I've had a whole lot of lemonade since moving to LA and this just might be some of the best I've had. The taste was fantastic, my thirst was quenched, and I left definitely knowing this is a place I'll be returning too in the future. Overall, this place gets all ten fingers up instead of just two thumbs. The drink was delicious and the crew was super quick, what more could I ask for?

They were very attentive and communicative, and helped address, resolve, and note improvements for the business and customer experience.

Over time, my rating will probably go up after more delicious drinks are consumed with more good experiences.

WOW, one of the busiest spots at the mall! Atmosphere was a bit congested with so many people sitting and standing around. It was hard for me to picture this place in its quiet and peaceful space. They have special merchandise and tea for purchase. Extremely long line all the way out the front door. Once we got closer up to the counter, it went swiftly. Since it was our first time at Chagee, I asked the young gentleman for his recommendations. He suggested Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte was one of their most popular drinks so that's what I got. Thank you young man! My daughter wanted to try the Chagee DayDream Frozen Blended so that's what she got. I know she already got coffee, but there's always room for more. I was surprised the prices were so very reasonable. I thought their prices would be higher based on their high end tea name brand. Another WOW, I was impressed with the unique and exquisite flavor of the tea in my drink. It was quite delightful and addicting to say the least. I loved it! My daughter loved her blended drink, too. A+ for both! Here is the not so WOW part... wait time was a bit long due to the busyness. Also I asked for a bag to store both drinks. The young lady said sure. She opened the pretty designed blue bag and handed it to me. I was shocked by her behavior... such lack of service IMHO. I would have expected her to place my drinks in the bag. I guess not. I bagged them myself. All good. Hence, minus 1 star! Thanks Chagee for staying true to your well crafted tea creations at very reasonable prices! But please work on your customer service. The full tea experience deserves excellent service first and amazing teas second.

Also, sometimes in the afternoon, the milk teas aren't available (when it's too late to brew more tea). The matcha here is creamy and earthy yet sweet. Most other matcha places in West LA have watery matcha, so I'm glad the matcha here is better. They use lactose-free milk by default. The shop is small and there is no seating inside. There are just two large tables outside, so you'll likely need to sit around strangers. Service is good, but a bit slow because of how small the store is. Keep an eye out for good deals!! They often have special promos that are great value. During promos the lines can be long, but they're still worth it in my opinion.

The matcha cream was smooth, flavorful, and not too bitter nor dry. Good quality. The sweetness and smooth texture of the coconut water was refreshing and provided just the right amount of sweetness. The two components combined was super satisfying. I also liked that it functioned as a fresh dessert with fresh coconut chunks that you can scoop and eat with a spoon. They also gave me a cup of the coconut water used which was also sweet and refreshing. The barista was also super nice and you can tell that he enjoyed his job and interacting with the customers. Parking is street parking. This experience blew my expectations! I would love to come back and try their other drinks.
