New item: taro mochi red oolong milk tea!! WOW this might be my new favorite drink. It's creamy, rich in oolong flavor, chewy...so much texture and flavor! The workers let me try it before ordering and I knew, immediately after tasting, that it was gonna be my order. They have cute merch at the shop now too! read more

One of the best Taiwanese authentic Tea. Couldn't try it when in Taipei so I tried it here instead. They have tea made out of FRESH TARO:) I tried a sample of honey avocado icecream was the bomb. Not at all sweet and so healthy. I had already had dippin dots at pier so I skipped the icecream. But will go back for it. I ordered my go to Jasmine Green Milk Tea with Jasmine silk Jelly topping. Boy it was good the Jasmine fragrance in that oh so soft jelly was AH MAZing!!! Also they have wintermelon Jelly which I'll try next time I am there. Definitely recommend. read more

The staff was very nice and they're well trained. Everyone was super fast and efficient despite all the drink orders. Some bench seating indoors but parking is a $5 minimum in the underground structure. I got 10 drinks to be as fair as possible but I still like torotea in Diamond Bar better. I do appreciate the variety of tea and jelly/boba types but they kind of blend together a little bit whereas each torotea flavor stands on its own. Icy Peak: 5/5 my favorite. Lots of nuanced notes and really unique. Champion: 4/5 solid milk tea with a kick. Iron Buddha: 3/5 definitely different than the other Iron Buddha's I've had (RIP Orobae). I think it's better the more you drink it. Wintermelon Lemon: 4/5 very zesty and refreshing. Better off at 50% sugar. Pistachio Matcha Strawberry: 3/5 mixed feelings as some friends could taste the pistachio while I didn't think the matcha flavor was strong enough. Strawberries were good though. Hokkaido soba: 4/5 like a roasted oolong or barley milk tea. Solid and strong. Jade Oolong: 3/5 tastes like Jasmine and Oolong had a baby. Very strong. Yuzu Osmanthus: 4/5 it's good but not as good as torotea's. Yuzu could be a little stronger. Chai ABC: 2/5 I think maybe they should rename this to a chai lite. It's not as spicy or heavy on the spices like a real chai. It's baby chai for beginners. Coconut Cold Brew: 5/5 coconut juice on steroids with baby coconut shreds. Super soft and jelly textured. Recommend for coconut lovers. Overall, I wouldn't make the drive from Orange County just for boba again but it's good if I'm nearby. read more

I'm not a milk tea fan but I love Odd One Out! I normally will order a fruit tea at boba shops and Odd One Out has the best fruit teas. The yuzu osmanthus silk boba is amazing. It's not your traditional boba or jelly, but the silk boba does have a jelly texture with a chew similar to boba. I would probably just buy their silk boba if I could lol. If you do the yuzu and don't like sweets too much, I highly recommend either doing zero sugar or 25%. It's still pretty sweet but you get more of the tea flavor. read more

Food/drinks: liked that they had several tea options and their jelly is made in house and it's SOO good! Atmosphere: cute, only bench seating Service: super sweet! They let us sample the jelly Price: normal! read more

Stopped by to get a drink after having lunch nearby and wanted something on the refreshing side. Odd One Out is well-known for their teas and is one of the more popular boba shops in LA. I came in and there was no line so I was able to order my drink right away. I settled on their seasonal Yuzu Apple Shiso drink and it was so refreshing. It was a great blend of flavors and the yuzu with the fresh apple juice mixed well with the shiso. My drink only took a few minutes before it was ready. The interior has some seating available while you wait for your drink and there are even free samples for you to try if you want to taste their latest drink. They have a variety of other drinks like milk teas and smoothies if you want something else and their signature teas that have won awards before including their Champion Milk Tea. I will say that one detraction is that their drinks are on the pricey side. Most drinks range from $7 to $8 which is steep so I would recommend only coming in once in a while or as a treat since their drinks are quite good. read more

First time coming here! My friend and I both ordered the Jasmine Green tea, but I had mine with oat milk. I was pleasantly surprised how good the drink was with oat milk! Ohh highly recommend the Jasmine "boba", the texture is more like jelly than boba. Service was quick and the cashier was sweet, she helped me decide on what drink to get. I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine at night. I will be back to try their specialty drinks next time! read more

Odd One Out - +Jasmine Green Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Highly regarded as one of the best boba places in LA. And I don't think I can dispute that. Bubble tea flavors have gotten wackier and wackier over the years, and at the end of the day, they all kind of taste the same. What really sets Odd One Out is the boba. Their recipe just blows everyone else out of the water. The Champion Milk Tea is a simple combination of red oolong tea and milk foam, but along with the boba, it somehow manages to make this basic recipe taste exquisite. If you want traditional bubble tea but to the highest standards, definitely come here. read more

My friend and I stopped into Odd One Out over the weekend when the tea craving struck us. This shop is a little easier to go to than some others in Sawtelle because the parking isn't quite as wild. Almost all of their teas have won various awards so rest assured, you are drinking high quality ingredients - actual tea leaves and such - not some powders. I had a basic but beautiful Iron Buddha Oolong ($5) which was rich in flavor with some firewood feels to it. I love a smokey drink so this was just my style. It's really cool how they give you details about the teas, too! Mine was from Taiwan! I'll def be back. read more

Good quality milk tea and toppings, but expensive.   I got the regular (or smaller) sized Champion Milk Tea with an add-on of silken boba and regular sweetness and it was good! The milk and cream wasn't heavy and the tea flavor was perfect and not too strong or weak. I also loved the silken boba which was unique.   For my criticisms, I do believe it is pricey for what you get. A regular sized milk tea with an add-on topping for $9 is a bit too much. Also, I don't like how the menu is not transparent about the sizing and prices relative to the size. I didn't see any sizes on there and I'm assuming the prices on the screens are for the regular sizes with no prices being show for the larger sizes which is confusing.   Also, the bobaristas serving me weren't too friendly or welcoming.   Overall, an okay experience here. I would maybe get something here again, but I wouldn't go out of my way due to the higher prices for standard milk tea. read more

Odd One Out - +TW 22' Champion Milk Tea with Silken Boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

FYI: It's around the corner on the shopping center. Parking is a challenge. We usually go to the one in Pasadena but we ordered here. The good: Our order was ready on time and packed ready to go. It's a small shop with and open kitchen. The service was friendly, busy but she was able to handle the crowd. The drinks... ordered their "everyday oddinary boba" with brown sugar boba. Here's my analysis- we ordered 3. We all agree they are watery, the tea is NOT strong so it's like sugar milk with a hint of tea and your boba. The boba texture is ok, I would prefer less slimy with a little more body to it. It's not a horrible drink and I sought it out bc I know they make it in house however they need to make the tea stronger. $29 for 3 drinks and they were just underwhelming. We will try again & hopefully it's better next time. read more

Odd One Out - Everyday Oddinary Boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The tea is really good here, albeit pricey. So far, I've tried the Wintermelon, pistachio and strawberry matcha, and the Hokkaido soba. In order of preference, I would say Wintermelon, Hokkaido, and then the Pistachio strawberry matcha. Wintermelon and Hokkaido are both caffeine-free, which is a bonus for me because I can't drink caffeine after 11 am, and this place doesn't open until 12 pm. Savings tip -- Doordash has a $5 off coupon, which you can use on your first order, which helps a bit since most of their drinks are around $8 each. They validate parking for 30 minutes if you park in the underground garage. Service has generally been friendly. It can sometimes get packed, which is overwhelming as the space is tiny. read more

This is one of my current fave boba spots!! My favorite drink is their Golden Buddha Silk Boba with their Jasmine silk boba! The tea flavor is strong and delicious, and their silk boba is amazing. I love the texture of it and it's more of a chewy jelly than your traditional boba. Their drinks are definitely on the pricier side so keep that in mind. This boba shop is located in Sawtelle so parking can be a challenge as there's mainly street parking. The shop is pretty small with only a couple benches so it's more of a grab and go place. The service is fast, and the workers are friendly and will explain their menu (since their drink names are more untraditional). Highly recommend if you're in the mood for high quality tea and silk boba! read more

Odd One Out - Icy Peak Oolong with coconut boba and Golden Buddha Silk Boba (Jasmine silk boba) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's a really cute space with an educational wall of the different teas they use and their origin. You can smell the leaves and maybe it'll help your tea choice. They also have some merch you can buy. They have a bench inside but nowhere else to sit. I've been here a couple of times and the last time I was here, the manager or owner was doing some tea tastings and trying out a new recipe gathering live feedback. I liked that a lot and it's a great way to engage with customers. He was very adamant about making sure we liked our drinks and if there were any issues to let him know. My friend tried the Hokkaido Soba and didn't like it. I didn't mind it, although if you're looking for a sweet drink, this might not be for you. We went back and told the manager and he kindly made a new drink free-of-charge for my friend. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to try it but a star is docked off due to the steep price point. There are definitely cheaper places down the street. read more

Milk teas are delicious, I especially like the fact that they have the Oat milk option and that it's actually just as creamy as the regular milk! I've tried a couple but the seasonal strawberry matcha with boba hits different lol! The popular Champion Tea was okay but I usually go for the seasonal flavors because well.. They're just different!! Extra plus is they don't fill your cup up with a ridiculous amount of ice like some places.. Cheat Code- If you have DoorDash, click on Going Out and they have a coupon that can be scanned in store that will save you a few dollars! Don't know how long it will be there but it's definitely a good look! read more

So my boyfriend has been on a "surprise me with boba binge" lately and so I have the opportune time to officially compare all the different types of boba on the westside and give a direct comparison: * TW 2023 Taiwan Milk Tea Winner + Silk boba * it was good but not "winner good" and not "good for $10" good. They recommended to get 50% sweetness (as they said that's the normal sweetness) however I totally should've gotten 25% sweetness. The reason is because even with 50% sweetness, each sugary sip masked the tea flavor so it was hard to judge the tea quality by itself. The wintermelon crystal boba was nice but not good enough to be better than the traditional black honey boba. The wintermelon crystal boba was cut in squares, more rigid and was more similar to grass jelly than chewy mochi boba. Nice to try but I think this is more "marketing scheme" and damn did the marketing scheme get me because I tried this boba since it said 2023 Winner. Size: definitely on the smaller size especially the price. * This milk tea boba is already $9 which is pretty pricey compared to other quality boba shops. * what's more, is that it costs +$1 extra to upgrade to a large size but a large size is only 22 oz where as other boba places sometimes automatically already serve 24 oz Bobas with the price range $6.25-$7.25. This pop up shop is featured at one of the "consistently changing pop up stands" on 3rd street promenade so I'm not sure if that affects the "kitchen" aspect of curating boba or not. If price wasn't a concern I'd get this again to try a different boba and to try a less sweet option so I could rate the tea quality itself. If I'm just searching for the best boba on the westside then I'd try somewhere else. read more

I ordered the champion milk tea (0%, 5 piece ice) with the Jasmine silk boba. The tea was so smooth and I liked how the silk boba was a different texture than the typical boba, almost like a firmer jelly consistency. I enjoyed the flavor of the silk boba and liked how it wasn't overly sweet. It was definitely the priciest boba drink I've purchased but could taste the quality of the tea and I enjoyed trying it! They have some of their tea samples to try (self serve) as well! The shop was a bit tricky to find the first time. It is located around the corner past the bakery (Artelice Patisserie). Don't forget to ask for parking validation if you parked in the structure (good for 30mins). read more

I came here with some friends after eating lunch on Sawtelle. I had heard good things, but my experience didn't quite match my expectations. For some reason, the menu screen wasn't working, so I was doing my best to browse their menu on my phone. Hard to really process all of their options on a phone screen instead of the big tv. I ended up ordering the Yuzu Apple Shiso. It was nice and refreshing, but I wouldn't be dying to get it again. They do have some benches inside, but there isn't a ton of room to sit and enjoy. It seems like you're more expected to take the drinks on the go. I'd come back to try some other drinks but my current experience was just average. read more

Such nice staff but not my favorite tea shop in the area. The yuzu osmanthus was far too bitter for my taste, and the milk tea must have had powdered milk in it because my stomach was upset after. Parking is difficult during peak times. With so much competition around Sawtelle, there is a very high bar and Odd One Out isn't in my top 3. read more

Parking is rough LOL but came on a saturday night and I think we parked in the street near by but parking was sus there. Heard a lot of good things so I tried their champion milk tea with boba but I wish I got their jelly I liked it more than the boba. The tea was more milky than teay to me. Super great staff and drinks came out fairly quickly. I would come more if it wasn't so far!! read more

Checked out Odd One Out Boba Tea and grabbed the yuzu tea at 75% sweetness -- and it was really good. Super refreshing, bright citrus flavor, and the balance between tart and sweet hit nicely. You can tell they use quality ingredients. Only reason it's not a full five stars is that even at 75% sweet, I was hoping for just a bit more sweetness. Still, it's a solid drink and I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu. read more

I ordered my drink 50% sweet with oat milk. It came out in less than 15 seconds. The milk tea flavor was mediocre and tasted a bit like sugar water with a hint of tea. I was a fan of the jasmine silk boba, it had a stronger tea flavor than the tea itself and had a smooth but chewy texture. There is limited seating in the store, so it's more of a stop and go type of place. Next time I'll try their champion boba. read more

Odd One Out - Golden Buddha Silk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This location of Odd One Out Tea is a small shop with just a couple of long benches along the window, so it's not a place to relax and slowly sip on tea. I like the display on the right side of the store, filled with jars of tea leaves to allow a sampling of each fragrance before ordering. Like a lot of modern premium brands, this store brews tea to order in espresso machines. Signature Icy Peak Boba, Large, Perfect Sugar, 5 Piece Ice, w/ Coconut Sugar Boba ($9) - That's one expensive drink... I went with a tea I thought I had never had before - the Icy Peak. It's only after ordering that I realized that other places call this Dong Ding. I feel like Odd One Out has good technique for crafting their drinks, but I think there's a reason that coconut sugar is typically not used as a sweetener. The flavor of the coconut, while on the milder side, is somehow too strong, overpowering much of the flavor of the tea. Dong Ding has a somewhat distinctive fragrance and unfortunately I think it's covered up too much, becoming muted in the background. In addition, the "perfect" sugar level (aka 50%) here is too sweet and more similar to 75% at other shops. I feel like that also contributes to the issues with the tea. With that being said, I can tell that the drink is high quality, being pleasant without any harshness, thin consistency but full bodied fruity coconutty, lightly nutty flavor. I believe the coconut flavor comes entirely from the boba. The pearls seem to be marinated in coconut sugar for a long time, giving the distinctive flavor strongest around the pearls. They have almost the perfect cook, giving a chewy bounce that makes them very pleasing to consume. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 5/5 Interestingly enough, I thought I saw a fructose machine in the back. For being a premium brand, I thought they would avoid fructose syrup. But there wasn't any of the harsh notes in my drink, so perhaps I was mistaken. Before settling on the coconut sugar boba, I asked the bobarista what the silk boba is. Apparently those are agar based boba, so more similar to crystal boba than tapioca based ones. My description of the tea seems like harsh criticism, but the fact is that I did enjoy the drink a lot, hence my rating final 5 star rating. I will be visiting again, either this location or others, for their other teas. Reminder for myself: get 25% sweet max and depending on the tea, skip on the coconut sugar boba. The boba is really good but I think it only pairs well with stronger teas. Bathrooms - I don't think they have a customer accessible one. read more

Odd One Out is a relatively newer addition to the local boba scene in Sawtelle, and with immense competition, they really do stand out as one of the go-to spots. After speaking with the kind staff to make sure the toppings were vegan friendly, I ordered their Jasmine Milk Tea with Oat Milk and Coconut Sugar Boba - with 5 cubes of ice and reduced sweetness. I found the specific amount of ice cubes used to be amusing but I think they have their craft down. The tea quality is superb. You can really taste the tea and it was just the right amount of sweetness in my drink. Boba texture was perfectly chewy and I gotta say that this was really a strong contender for best boba in the area. Price wise - definitely up there as being more expensive especially with all the add-ons. But you are paying for higher quality tea and at the end, it's really worthwhile. read more

5/5 entirely for the jasmine silk. It's such a delicious treat even for someone who isn't into jelly in their drinks. It tastes so strongly of jasmine tea that it really adds to it. I got the Hokkaido soba drink because it wasn't caffeinated and it was a perfect dessert drink after dinner. The jasmine silk over powered the actual drink a bit, but it still held onto its sweet semi earthy flavor. It was a unique drink for sure. If it was earlier in the day, I would've probably opted for a more standard boba drink. Plaza had plenty of parking, but unsure how much you have to pay if this place doesn't validate (we got our parking validated by sushi enya). They use the same tea espresso method a lot of the tea focused boba shops do so it's not a bulk order drink. Good quality, but of course, on the pricy side. Not much of a seating area; very much a grab and go spot with most people being super local (walking distance) or a post-nearby dinner crowd. Probably one of the better options on the west side and would definitely be a competitor in neighborhoods like the SGV. read more

Odd One Out - hokkaido soba jasmine silk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was finally able to make a drive to LA and wanted to try this spot. It's a cute little shop with minimal seating. The service here is so fast--I ordered online and my drink was ready by the time I walked into the shop, which was probably within the span of one minute. They validate parking in the downstairs lot for 30 minutes, so I would suggest ordering online to avoid waiting. I knew that I had to try one of their award winning drinks, so I ordered the Golden Buddha Silk Boba. I ordered it at 25% sweet (50% is their default), and the drink is still pretty sweet. The tea is so smooth--you can definitely tell that it's high quality. The silk boba is so unique; I've never had anything like it. It's smooth just like the tea. It reminds me more of egg pudding than your traditional boba. The drink was amazing, but I don't think I can justify buying an $8 drink despite the high quality of it. read more

After a nice bowl of ramen, I was craving something sweet. What better way to satisfy that urge than a boba drink?! Odd One Out was a bit difficult to find in the dark, but it was tucked in a dark corner. I wish there was better signage to locate the store. The workers greeted us. There was a long line behind us, but the workers were friendly enough to offer us samples of their red oolong milk tea and the silk boba. That was greatly appreciated. The store doesn't really have a lot of space. It can get cramped, once it starts getting busy. I ordered the red oolong milk tea with 75% sweetness and jasmine silk boba. Note that 75% sweetness is deemed as extra sugar. That was my mistake! I should have gone with the 50% sweetness, since it was the perfect amount of sweetness. My drink was a bit too sweet, for my liking. I like that their tea has a solid tea flavor, and the milk teas have a rich milky taste. My favorite part of the drink was the jasmine silk boba. The silk boba was more of a jelly with a distinctive jasmine flavor. I usually don't finish my boba drinks, but I chugged the drink that night. The only bad thing about Odd One Out is that the drinks are pricey. It's $7 for a milk tea. Add $1 foe toppings, and you're looking to pay $8 for just a drink. I wouldn't mind coming here, once in awhile. Also, parking is rough in Sawtelle area. I do recommend Odd One Out for their milk teas and unique boba! read more

love their teas here! I almost always get it when I'm in the area bc theyre so good! I usually get one of the same 3 drinks - champion milk tea w cream foam, golden buddha silk boba, or abc chai - and none have ever disappointed me! I do want to try the rose one which sounds like something right up my alley! every time I come, the workers are very welcoming and greet me right away. they usually have samples for a tea or two which I like to try. the shop isn't too big so I usually take my drink and walk around outside but they do have a little bench/seating area where you can sit and wait for your drinks! I've been getting less sugar as the "perfect sugar" level is 50% and the drinks are still really good (to my pleasant surprise)! the high quality of the teas are very evident and I love the extra creaminess when theres milk and/or cream foam added! parking can be a bit hard since it's in a very popular area, but I usually park a bit further and walk over or I have gotten lucky a couple times and was able to park in the little parking lot in front of Alfred! prices are a bit higher than I'd like (around $7-8 for a milk tea w topping and +$1 to upgrade the size) so in total I'd pay about $10 including tip for a large drink but clearly I still keep coming back... read more

I discovered this place through a friend and the tea is super fresh. You can tell it is their specialty. I was conflicted on what to get and the worker was so nice to give me recommendations. I ended up the champion milk tea, which comes with cream foam and added on their Jasmine Silk Boba. The tea was rich and the cream foam was so perfect with the tea. The boba was something different and it was nothing like I had before, I really enjoyed it. The space is really small but it is decorated super cute. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend. I will say, I paid $9 for regular sized drink,... so definitely not traditional boba price. It was definitely worth the price to try tho. read more

I told her i order in person, then she told me to wait until she call my name without looking order list or asking me my name to check it. I go back to my sit and wait until they are totally free. I asked them again, then they opened system and check my name So terrible read more

Odd One Out? More like Outrageously Ostentatiously Overpriced! Some of their drinks START at $8... but then you gotta add $1 for a topping, another $1 for a large size, throw in tax and tip... now your milk tea costs as much as a fast food meal. BUT I've heard they're pretty legit so I stopped by during my lunch break. OOO is in a plaza on the corner of Sawtelle and Olympic. There are a few free "15 minute only" parking spots nearby if you're lucky (which I was). Otherwise, park in the underground garage and OOO will validate for 30 minutes. The line was a bit long, I guess everyone else was also on their break. Each cup is brewed to order, so it'll take an additional 7 to 10 minutes after you pay. There are a few benches inside, but it's a grab and go kind of place. Left after 20 minutes, no ticket or tow thankfully. Got to try their Champion Milk Tea, which is apparently the 2022 Taiwan Milk Tea Festival winner. One sip and now I see why! Tastes exactly as described: full-bodied red oolong with hints of honey. Didn't care too much about the cream foam on top, and the coconut sugar boba was too soft. But the tea was better than CHICHA San Chen in my opinion. Oh also, sugar and ice levels are adjustable like other prices. But I find it funny that "5 piece Ice" is an option, like they'll literally count exactly 5 ice cubes? I'll have to come back and find out. read more

Relatively pricey but I can tell that they use really high quality and fresh ingredients, so it's worth the premium for me. I've tried a bunch of their drinks so far, and so far no misses! Out of the ones I've tried, my favorite is the Iron Buddah Milk Tea, which has a great toasted, earthy flavor. I also really like the blue matcha because the matcha is really strong and the drink is so pretty! My favorite topping is the jasmine silk boba, which adds a nice silky floral note to the drinks. I appreciate that the "perfect" sweetness level here is 50%, and you can even modify the amount of ice they give you. Any drinks that have a pre-set sweetness level is also not too sweet! There are two long benches inside, but no table seating. The service is really friendly, and they're always ready to answer any questions or give recommendations.

Odd One Out - Blue matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Odd One Out is my favorite boba shop on Sawtelle. The Champion Milk Tea has won at the Taiwan Milk Tea Festival for the past few years. They have fresh ingredients, organic milk and high quality tea that is small batch brewed per cup. There's a few bench seats to wait for drinks - so it's mainly a takeout spot. They validate parking for 30 minutes. For the drinks: The toppings may be even better than the drinks. The boba is made with coconut sugar and makes better option for those watching the glycemic index. The Jasmine Silk boba is a family favorite (it's made with sugar/simple syrup). The texture is a firmer grass jelly. This is the ideal choice especially if you're having it the next few days (texture will stay the same). You can upgrade to larger size for $1. Here are my favorites: - Yuzu Osmanthus Less sugar - Red Oolong Milk Tea. 0% sugar. Jasmine Silk Boba - Blue Matcha (pre-set sugar level) read more
