Bold coffee flavor on ice with Boba. The location is open late which I really enjoy. A nice spot near some clubs and bars where you can fulfill that late night craving. The green tea with boba is the only reason I give 3 instead of 4 or 5. Just tasted so watered down. Faint taste of green tea with light light sweetness. Maybe it was a bad batch. Would be down to try more.

Ambiance: it's located at a corner spot, shared parking lot with few other restaurants, old fashioned style decorations Service: very friendly and patient with requests, although there's only one staff working here and you'll have to wait when it's busy Drink: classic drinks, and first topping is free, each additional choice costs 50 cents extra House Milk Tea - *** added aloe jelly, light taste Straw-Mango Smoothie - *** added boba, overly sour taste Price: affordable prices, each drink costs about $5~$6

A great spot to hang out late night with the nephews and nieces . My family and I were looking where to hang out after kbbq but most places were closed unless they were a bar but this place was open late . The service was great . The lady was so sweet and kind . The boba is good. Not the best not the worst but I could go here from time to time late night if I'm in the area. Parking was ample also but that could be because of the late hours we were there .

The service is amazing love the taste my favorite the Thai tea. the vanilla, Oreo those are just one of all the choices. The mood is always good vibes peaceful spot to chill with a friend

Cute boba spot with a wide variety of selections and flavors! Whether you are looking for milk tea, frappe, slush, smoothie, coffee or tea, they have them all. Conveniently located in Korea town with several great Korean restaurants in the area. We ordered the strawberry banana smoothie. Love that there are some outdoor seating areas.

The boba here is always of top quality! They also serve ice cream. Very small cute boba store. No alternative milk so no almond, soy, rice milk etc. Only Non Dairy available. Service is quick & easy. I always come back for my boba here! I arrived around 9:20pm. They close at 1am

We always receive a warm greeting when we enter I love Boba. Apparently we love the Mocha and Stew-Peach Smoothie because it's the same order we've had before. Definitely a hidden gem that I don't mind sharing with others. Great decor, well decorated, nice music will be playing on the stereo. Ample outdoor seating for waiting.

The artistic and brand new beautiful walls that were designed recently makes the store pop out so much! And on top of that, their boba has always been a fan favorite for me because of: Quality, Taste, and Consistency Jenny has always been an amazing, sweet, friendly, and the most efficient and fast employee ever! They're the best and give them a try!

I'm so glad this place is open late. Came after a play at the Ahmanson theatre. Poor lady, looked like she was by herself. Come support her!!! My caramel iced coffee with boba was cold and refreshing! Outside seating. Nice to just be able to sit, talk, and converse about the play we just saw. Brightly lit up. This will be a go to place after every pl

This place never disappoints. Jenny is amazing, the quality is wonderful. You can tell it's made with love.

It was 11:30 and I was watching someone drink boba on IG and suddenly wanted some. When I looked up what was open, there weren't many options. Surprisingly many of the dessert places in K-Town that use to stay open late are no longer around. I thought I'd give I Love Boba on Vermont a try since it was near by. It is located in the same plaza as Hodori (speaking of late nights lol) and is nestled in the corner. There are outdoor and indoor seats. Aside from drinks, they also offer various snacks and an assortment of ice cream. I went with a medium milk tea with boba and an iced coffee for tomorrow. The nice lady helped me with my selection and my total was around $10. Both tasted good and I can't wait to go back to support them. I would recommend if you're update late and are craving a sweet snack/drink! read more

Quick service. Good selection. We can of course get drinks less sweet and less ice at our discretion. It's in a two story strip mall complex common all over Koreantown. Parking is available but we parked in the street. There are tables set up outside but strictly in and out. We got a mocha coffee no boba and two taro milk teas with boba around noon. They have a sign that says fresh boba made daily at 1130 no left overs. That made us a bit more confident, as we've been burned a few times with places running out of boba. There are photos of all their items on their door and inside making your selection easy. read more

2 ** for basic boba, plus extra 1* for the fantastic friendly service for late night boba. The woman had a good smile and great attitude for being open so late. Boba consistency is decent, not hard and not mushy. This is where my praise stops. The burnt, bitter tea flavor, a definite turn off. I made my typical order of brown sugar boba, it's what I do when trying a new or different boba spot. It's my baseline comparison. I've come to the conclusion that trying to find basic boba drinks in K-town is NOT the best idea. Imma stick to Bing soo and ice cream....of which these, as well as their smoothies and slushes, looked great. read more

Too bad the boba appeared undercooked and took forward to chew through. The boba also was bland on it's own right so the entire drink felt underwhelming. Thankfully the pricing wasn't too steep compared to other options but I wouldn't go out to drink here.

I loved the latte, so that made up for the missing sliders to some degree.

Rok Coffee and Tea

I LOVED this place soo much!!! It was my first time trying…read moreROK Coffee & Tea. I went on YouTube for the search of good Matcha in LA. A few different YouTubers raved about ROK Coffee & Tea, so I decided to try them out... and it definitely lived up to the recommendations! The MATCHA DUO was EXCEPTIONAL and delicious! It had the perfect amount of sweetness, the perfect creaminess, and the matcha wasn't bitter at all. You can tell they use really good, high-quality matcha because not only could I taste the quality, I could feel it in my energy level too. My sister got the MANGO MATCHA DUO with oat milk and absolutely loved it. My sister's coworker tried the SPARKLING YUZU MATCHA and said it was delicious! She loved that the yuzu flavor wasn't overpowering and said the matcha tasted very high quality. We also got the STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE MATCHA DUO because it was recommended as one of their top picks. We gave it to another one of her coworkers, and she finished it so quick! She said it tasted like a dessert and raved about how delicious and amazing it was! There's seating area in front of the café and as well as inside. The inside is really cute and had a nice atmosphere. The best time to go is early in the morning when open. Customer service was exceptional! Everyone was very kind while at the same time quick and attentive to the line. If there tends to be a line, it moves pretty quickly, and our drinks were ready fast after we ordered. If you get lucky, you can find street parking, but be careful parking on Olympic Blvd. during certain times. Not to worry though because they do have a parking structure, which makes things much easier. Overall, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ROK Coffee & Tea! Everything we tried gets a 10/10 from us! The quality of the matcha, the flavors, the customer service, and the overall experience were all excellent. We will most definitely be back!!!

Matcha snobs, this is your sign. ROK's matcha holds its own against Community Goods -- genuinely…read moredidn't expect to say that, but the quality is there, if not a little better. No bitterness, no chalky aftertaste that cheaper ceremonial-grade pretenders leave behind. Just clean, grassy depth with a texture that's silky rather than gritty. This is someone who actually sources well and knows how to whisk Didn't stop there. The seasonal peach jasmine tea was the surprise standout ..floral jasmine up front, real peach sweetness (not syrup-bomb fake fruit) on the back end. Balanced in a way that seasonal drinks rarely pull off; most places either overdo the fruit or underdo the tea. This one's dialed in. Iced Spanish latte rounded things out and didn't miss either; espresso with enough backbone to cut through the condensed milk instead of getting buried by it. A lot of places let the sweetness take over; ROK kept the coffee actually tasting like coffee. 4 drinks, zero misses. That's not luck; that's a program that's actually dialed in behind the counter. This isn't a place riding on aesthetics and a good logo the drinks back it up. The matcha is legit, good quality stuff Come open up in OC you batches

Parking is pretty difficult, and valet is $5. I can easily see the parking lot getting gridlocked on a busy day. I sampled a few of their gelato flavors, including the jasmine lychee and soy sauce. Both were okay, but I just wasn't in the mood for either of them today. I ended up getting the Pandan Toast to try. The pandan flavor was really good--not too grassy and didn't taste too artificial. The ice cream also had a buttery taste to it. It might have been from the toast, but I'm not too sure. The bread itself wasn't oily, which was nice, but it was kind of dry. The pandan sauce definitely helped make it easier to eat. I probably wouldn't eat the bread by itself though because it was super hard and didn't really have much flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect from the toast, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I originally wanted to try the mango sticky rice flavored shaved ice because it looked really good in the photos, but unfortunately they didn't have it today. I'd come back to try their shaved ice when mango is in season again!

An absolute crazy person works here. DO NOT GO HERE. My friend and I went into this shop to purchase a drink and use the restroom here, as we waited for the RUDE worker with his headphones in completely ignore me and the other customer in line, we decided to use the restroom first. We gave him a heads up that we will be using the restroom first and then buy our drink. As my friend and I were in the restroom this crazy worker starts pounding the door and screaming the words "F***k" repeatedly calling us disgusting names that we tricked him and that we are only using the bathroom. So I go out of the restroom scared to my dear life asking him what is wrong that we are going purchase a drink. He proceeds to cuss and scream " YOU ALWAYS DO THIS SH*T" ??? This was our FIRST time here as I am not from the ktown area. We gets all up in my face and I swear I thought he was going to hit me. I continued to buy the drink as I was following the policy and I swear he would've hit me if I didn't, and he threw my debit card at me. If you are going to have an abusive worker like this work at your place, I suggest u close this business for the safety of your fellow customers. read more

We now have been very likely to I Like Boba for over a couple of years. I never ever thought I would personally individually offer it having an okay position ultimately these several years. Not lengthy back i frequented purchase my own preferred dessert in latest background . I was so disappointed utilizing the new guava fill. It currently features a much more artificial show up and taste. It almost tasted similar to a Dolly Madison cherry dessert. Be sure you go back to your preliminary formulation. read more
