    I couldn't resist stopping by this adorable place that houses a boba shop right within a pharmacy store. It's like a sweet dose of unexpected delight amidst the medicine aisles.

    This is my second time going to Medella Boba, first time was a week ago for a Yelp Elite event. I figured I would write a review for the business this second time around since I am a paying customer now. Overall I'm giving this boba spot 5 stars. Their drinks are fantastic! I had a coconut milk tea and it was delicious! Better than at a few other boba locations I've tried it at. I also bought a Green Apple Lemonade and it's really good, super refreshing. I also love the concept of the pharmacy and soda fountain shop reminiscent of the olden days (lol). For a weekend, it's not too busy with plenty of seats inside and plenty of parking. Overall, highly recommend Medella for some good Boba!

    Perhaps the most unique new business to Downey to date is Medella Pharmacy and Boba. A popular hangout in the afternoons for Downey High students, I made my first visit here well in advance of their after school shenanigans for my own boba break. The staff is very nice and helpful. Don't be surprised if one is working in the pharmacy and comes out to greet you (and washes their hands before creating your drink). Good place for a refreshing iced tea or coffee... or both. The boba isn't my absolute favorite - it's just a bit too hard. Deeply appreciate this business helping out our daughters' PTA fundraiser. There is a separate Yelp page for the pharmacy: https://www.yelp.com/biz/medella-pharmacy-downey I currently do not have any prescriptions, but if my husband did not already have an effective relationship with the pharmacists at a chain in town, I would consider switching his prescriptions over to Medella. Hope they are doing okay through this COVID-19 quarantine. TIP + Grubhub currently fulfills delivery and takeout orders

    I was quite confused as I drove up to this shop. It is a joint business with a Pharmacy, which is kinda cool! I look forward to visiting soon. | PROS | + Friendly service + Ordered a Horchata, and it was delicious! Boba was also nice and chewy + Clean inside + They offer a rewards system using your phone number + There is boba merchandise that is sold along with snacks + Yelp check-in offer: 20% off!

    I've been to old pharmacy where they sell root beer floats/ice cream. This is a first for a pharmacy that sells BOBA. I love it. Definitely support a pharmacy who sells boba. I got the mango green tea. It's a pretty refreshing drink.

    Very interesting vibe, the pharmacy store serves boba tea as well, tried their Thai tea with boba, flavor was better than a lot regular tea shops, thought the boba was too hard.

    It was awkward coming to a boba spot that shared space with a pharmacy, but I looked past that fact and realized the drink was pretty good. I ordered a mango green tea boba. Felt like there was a good amount of mango flavor for my liking, but not enough boba added in so that was disappointing. Other than that, it also took a little longer to get my drink because there was only one guy working at the time since his colleague was on break. Overall, I'd come back at the end of the day!

    Cute place, experienced no issues and a quick easy service. Definitely recommend for a quick fun hang out.

    Super cute key chains for boba lovers

    Such a cute boba spot, despite the weird location as some have said. Yes, it is inside a pharmacy but I think it's innovative and unique. The drinks were spot on and so delicious! If I lived in the area, I would definitely make this my boba/tea/slushee spot! I hope I can enjoy it more in the future when we are able to have indoor seating after this pandemic. Stay safe everyone :-)

Usually smaller restaurants like these are understaffed and tables sit unbussed and wiped down for too long. Not here! The inside and outside were really clean and tables were cleared quickly. We actually overstayed our welcome but no one ever hounded us to leave the table. It wasn't packed since it was an early lunch on a Thursday, but it was nice to be able to have our meeting and not feel pressured to leave. I only wish this place was close to me! It's the kind of place you want to go back to over and over! If we meet in Downey again, we know where to go!

I ordered an iced caramel latte, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The espresso was rich and flavorful, while the caramel added just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the drink. I also loved that they use coffee ice cubes, it kept the latte from getting watered down, and honestly, I thought it tasted even better as it sat. The staff was friendly, and our drinks came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. The only downside was the atmosphere. It's a very small shop with seating for maybe 20 people inside, plus 4 small two-person tables outside (without any shade). When we visited, almost everyone else was working on laptops, so it didn't feel like the best place to sit and chat. The music was also fairly loud and mostly K-pop, which didn't really match the coffee shops aesthetic and made conversation a little more difficult. Parking was probably my biggest complaint. There are only four dedicated parking spots, and the surrounding residential street parking was completely packed. I ended up parking in the chicken restaurant's lot across the street. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee, it was genuinely one of the better iced caramel lattes I've had. If you're looking to grab a quality drink to go, I'd highly recommend it. Just be prepared for limited seating and a challenging parking situation.
