The drink menu
Rangie T.

The main reason I came to this location is actually for the sandwiches at Gold Banh which is a shared location between the two businesses. Since we ordered some drinks I can say that they have an extensive drink menu. We tried their Thai tea and the Thai Tea hard which is half Thai tea and half brewed Vietnamese coffee. A sting coffee taste which actually over powers the Thai Tea. They do not offer blended drinks so it was iced for me, however I did add some boba. The straight Thai Tea which is typical of Thai iced tea at Thai restaurants, this was not sweet at all, so that can go either way depending on how you like it. I'd order drinks here again when I come back for sandwiches.

Stopped by here based on a recommendation from a family member. Got a Hong Kong milk tea with boba! I thought it was really good quality, but I didn't care much for the flavor. I don't know if it's just the flavor from the way this place makes it or if I don't particularly like hong kong milk tea in general. But it was a solid drink, and the boba was good! Took a bit for my drink to come out even though my husband and I were the only two in the store, but it seems like the employee was new/being trained, so it's understandable. Plenty of parking in a nearby structure for free under 2 hours.

This place is absolutely delicious!!! The pastrami báhn mì was soooo amazing!!!! I loved the teas as well. I wish it wasn't so far from home so I could come more often!

Look AT THAT!!

MAAAAAAAAAAAN this sandwich genuinely made my day 2x better and i was already on a good one. The owner was so accommodating. Perfect balance between sweet, fatty, crunchy, sharp. The textures were great. They serve the pastrami samich w a little side of meat juice that elevated the flavor immensely. We drove an hour and over all it was well worth it. Hope they sell out every single day

Since we're here for the banh mi and it shares the same space with the Gold Banh and we need some drink to go with the banh mi. They got indoor & outdoor seating area and inside is more cleaner then outside (homeless using it). Spacious and cool vibe. Menu is just typical boba places everywhere, nothing really standout for me...therefore we just got the iced tea. Staff is nice & friendly...they had a busy Sunday morning (downtown event) therefore they're abit off beat. But overall cool place to hangout and close by to the Main Street w/ easy parking (street, structure and garage).

Strawberry Matcha, Banana Boba, Ube with Coconut cream Bob and Mango Boba.

Friendly staff! Pastrami sandwich was delicious along with a couple of chicken spring rolls we ordered. The dirty matcha is always our fav here Location is nice and they have a farmer's market on Fridays to our surprise.

Toms famous Pastrami 10/10
Sary O.

Wow... this Tom's Famous Pastrami sandwich is SO good. 10/10! every single bite is packed with flavor. The pastrami is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and just melts in your mouth. I hate that I live 1 1/2 hours away... but maybe that's actually a good thing because I would be here way too often if I lived closer. I also ordered the pastrami spring rolls. I haven't tried it yet, but honestly, the sandwich alone already made the trip worth it. Even if the spring roll isn't my favorite, this sandwich more than makes up for it! Update: the spring is also good but you just have to eat it fresh while the meat is still hot. I had it while the meat is already cold. You know pastrami has to be eaten hot since it is a fatty meat.

Loose Leaf is a solid go-to for boba, especially with its super walkable location. Every time I'm in Long Beach for an on-site, I end up stopping here -- it's convenient, consistent, and never too busy. The drinks are pretty solid: good flavor without being overly sweet, and the teas have a clean, refreshing taste. I get my drinks at 50% sweet because that's what they recommend, and I really appreciated the worker who pointed that out. Every boba shop does sweetness levels a little differently, so I like sticking with their recommendation -- and here, 50% is perfectly balanced. The boba itself has a great texture: soft, slightly chewy, and always fresh. The shop is clean, not too big, but has decent seating if you want to hang out for a bit. Service is quick and friendly, and it's easy to grab your drink and go. Overall, a reliable, convenient, and consistently good boba stop in Long Beach.

Jasmine green milk tea
Eliza B.

4.5 Stars. Great spot! I came to try the tea and ended up getting sandwiches too since it was lunchtime. I got a jasmine green milk tea, steak sandwich, and grilled pork sandwich. Everything tasted great and fresh. The service was friendly and welcoming, and helpful and prompt when I asked for a sweetness adjustment. The owner, who was also there, was very nice as well. Would come back to try more drinks and that pastrami sandwich I see mentioned on here!

Banana milk
Marlo Y.

My friend and I were grabbing dinner at a nearby restaurant and wanted some boba afterward, so we found this place and decided to check it out. It's actually a lot bigger inside than I expected from the outside, with plenty of seating and a clean setup. One thing I appreciated -- maybe a small detail, but memorable -- is that they had a public restroom, which came in clutch at the time. Service was straightforward and efficient. Nothing really notable, but everything went smoothly and our drinks came out quickly. I ordered the banana milk, and it was pretty good -- sweet but not overly so, and it had a nice balanced flavor. They had a lot of other drinks on the menu that sounded interesting, so I'd definitely come back to try more next time. Overall, a solid experience. Nothing over the top, but a comfortable place to grab a drink if you're in the area and want something a little different from the usual boba chains.

I came by after a wedding nearby for a boba. I didn't get to try the boba but got the strawberry smoothie. Though it was 50% sweetness it was still a bit sweet. Maybe next time need it at 25%. The service was nice at the counter and 3 drinks came out quickly. Would come back when in the area.

Strawberry Matcha Latte & Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea
Kevin T.

Was looking at boba places with my partner after lunch and Loose Leaf Boba caught our attention. One thing that caught my eye is that they open at 9AM everyday, which is uncommon for a boba/drinks shop. Parking is free for 2 hours in a nearby structure, a quick 1 minute walk from structure to the shop. Inside is very clean, coffee cafe vibes, and a moderate amount of indoor seating with counter seating as well. It's also very spacious and has numerous amounts of interior decoration. The menu is quite extensive down to chips, cookies, teas, matcha, coffee, and boba. We ultimately decided on the strawberry matcha latte & the osmanthus oolong milk tea. Both drinks came out within reasonable time as the shop wasn't that busy. Both drinks were decently well made, the strawberry matcha is definitely the stand out, for sure it's freshly brewed for both drinks. Only downside is that the cups are no longer branded with their logo, now it's just a regular cup which is a bit disappointing. Regardless, a decent shop for any drink after a nice meal.

Corn cream jasmine
Wendy F.

Came in on a Monday night and it was a one man show. Took a while to order and a while to get my drink but I tried the cream corn jasmine. Very delicious! I would order this again. The solo employee who was working was very nice even though she had to cashier and make the drinks. Inside has a few tables you can sit at.

This place sits right next to the bowling alley and there is actually No big sign for it. Thankfully when we went there was no line either which was great since everyone talks about how busy it gets in there. There was a kiosk or you can order with the employee. She told us they were known for their jelly's so I made sure I tried it. I ordered a black milk tea with matcha jelly And hubs ordered his with almond pudding. Thankfully I could adjust sweetness and milk. I thought mine was good. It's not bad but I knew it wasn't something I would crave. Hubs did not like his as much as I did. Our kids loveee Their matcha but I was not able to try it. If I'm in the area again maybe illl have some but it's definitely not something I'll drive out of the way for.

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.

The honey is a lovely touch to the Almond Milk tea and really elevated the flavor profile. I definitely would get order again but would request from 25% sweetness to 0% as it was a bit on the sweeter side for me (personal preference). I had a great interaction with the person who made my tea. He even kept it in the fridge so it stayed cool while on the drive over. The shop itself was cute and definitely intrigued me to come back.

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers.
