Since we were nearby, my partner and I decided to check this spot out. It is a very small shop, but…read morethey have a huge menu. Honestly, the menu feels overwhelming with how many options there are. The menu has small text and looks quite outdated. Prices of drinks were not listed on the menu. We each got the Matcha Au-Lait, which is supposed to be a creamy green matcha tea layered on top of smooth milk for a velvety, fragrant beverage. It tasted mostly like milk and as if the lowest grade matcha possible was used. The drink wasn't terrible, but it just resembled low-quality matcha.

On Friday evening, September 4th, after having dinner at Holbox, I went to Urth Caffé in Downtown…read moreLA with my mom and my two brothers to have some coffee and tea. I think we got there around 8:00 PM, but by that time, all the slices of cake I wanted to try had already been sold out. My mom ordered a decaf coffee, one of my brothers ordered a hot cocoa, and my other brother ordered a pot of chamomile tea. I shared the chamomile tea with one of my brothers. It was pretty cold outside that evening, so we decided to sit on the outdoor patio. Fortunately, we found a table right next to a heater, which made it warm, cozy. I've been to almost all of Urth Caffé's locations, including Melrose, Santa Monica, Pasadena, and Laguna Beach, and I have always found their food and drinks delicious. The service is also consistently good at every location I've visited. The only downside is that it's always difficult to find street parking around this location, so that evening we ended up paying $10 for parking.

Boba Lab was one of the vendors at a work event and the customer service was amazing. The drinks…read morehonestly weren't my favorite, they were a bit too sweet for my taste, and the boba itself was more bland compared to other honey boba I've had before. That said, the owners were some of the kindest people I've met, and that genuinely made the experience so much better. Good customer service and warm, welcoming people really do make a difference. You can tell they care about their customers. Even though the boba wasn't exactly my preference, I still left with a positive impression because of how nice they were.

I normally am not one to leave reviews, but I had Boba Lab yesterday, and unfortunately it was not…read moregood at all. I had the passion fruit tea 25% sweet which was technically advertised as made with real passion fruit puree but it was just a premade syrup from Teazone. I received the drink and was disappointed that it tasted like water with some passion fruit resemblance. I had expected a stronger tea flavor since I did less sweet, but it tasted like sweetened water. I ended up discarding the drink. We also had gotten a classic black milk tea, which also tasted watered down, and finally we got the ube coconut smoothie, which for some reason was grey and white. We got that one at 75% sweet, but it was way too sweet and left a weird residue in my mouth. Very disappointed and would not come back again.

I saw power outlets too so this could be a good study spot with friends. I tried some Oolong Milk Tea (50% sugar) & I really enjoyed how fragrant the oolong was. The drink itself was solid [4.5/5]. Next time I would be good with 25% sugar because even 50% felt a little sweet. I would definitely be open to try their other teas. I ordered some spicy popcorn chicken. Looks like it was the dark meat part of chicken, but it was kind of dry, lacked juiciness, and some flavor. It didn't taste as fresh as I hoped so the chicken was a [2.5/5] for me, mid, nothing great. The sweet chili sauce helped with the dryness, but it wasn't satisfying when I just wanted to taste the flavor of the popcorn chicken. Overall, I think quality of drinks/tea here are better than the popcorn chicken.

Their Peach Oolong and Passionfruit black tea with their jellies. They don't do the typical coconut based small pieces of jelly, instead opting for house made with jelly. The price of these drinks is super reasonable, the tea quality great, and the jellies refreshing and delicious. 2. On the more premium side price wise, the taro milk tea here is nonetheless worth it. They use 100% real taro. No syrup. No powder. On top of that, even compared to other places which use real taro, this is the best iteration of the drink I've had. Subtly earthy and only slightly sweet, creamy, even with oat milk. An incredible drink. The vibe is relaxing and nice. Service is solid to great, depending on who is working. The owner is very kind!!! Seating is pleasant. Parking is the only issue since the city metered everything, but if you're grabbing a going, try the Total Wines or Target lot. You'll be fine. The meters are also quite cheap.

Very disappointed. I specifically came here for the taro, and honestly, this was one of the worst…read moretaro drinks I've had. First of all, I'm not even sure if the taro is freshly made because there was absolutely NO texture or taro pieces in the drink. Nothing about it tasted or felt like fresh taro. On top of that, it was insanely sweet -- like overwhelmingly sweet -- and apparently the sweetness can't even be adjusted. If you're going to make a taro drink this sweet and not allow customers to adjust the sugar level, at least the taro itself should be good. This wasn't. I genuinely don't understand the hype. For the price, there are so many better milk tea shops around LA. Very disappointed and definitely will not be coming back.

I was so excited when they brought back my favorite drink, but lately they've become really stingy. They now charge extra to top off a drink with no ice. Okay... but the 32 oz drink is already almost $9 before any add-ons. I ordered it with no ice because I needed it for work the next day and didn't want the drink diluted. At this point, I might as well just order the 24 oz because there's no way this huge gap is simply "for the ice." I've been a loyal customer for years, but this is pretty disappointing. Paying premium prices and then being charged extra for a reasonable request, but also leaving this huge of a gap just doesn't sit right with me. So bummed
