    Milk tea spot along the streets of dtla, easy to miss as it's currently boarded up due to civil unrest. It was my first time trying the spiced milk tea and felt it was unique but only tasted average 6/10. I dont recommend the pudding addon from this place, it's a little too firm and has trouble going thru the straw.

    Super cute boba spot in DTLA. We parked at the bloc and walked over. They have a bunch of yummy looking boba drinks but they also have ice cream treats! We got a drink and ice cream with brown sugar boba topping. The drink is put into a drink sling for carry away. The ice cream has artificial sweetener but it was still tasty. The brown sugar boba was warm but overall it was too sweet! But honestly I'd get it again haha You order at the screen and the drinks/dessert are made quickly. Service is great. Definitely recommend a try!

    Stumbled upon this reallyyyy cute boba shop in DTLA during my lunch. The drink is got is the rose milk tea with boba 60% sugar. It's good but it's overly sweet for me. They have so much drink options and I can't wait to go back try the rest! Next time I'll have to get like 25% sugar. But I definitely recommend this cafe! Staffs are so sweet and welcoming. The service is fast and easy.

    Bright and full of novelties for sell as well as food and boba options. Limited seating but spacious. Mostly order at the kiosk for self service. If you have questions I'm sure the staff will help. Their menu is slightly dense but easy to use. There's specialty drinks and food options. I chose the chai with oatmilk and boba. My boba was packed with an artsy cup holder and a holiday wrist band gift. I will use as a Christmas tree ornament but you can slap it on your wrist for nostalgia or feeling festive. The chai boba was tasty, not an often boba drink so had to try. You can customize your order and add-ons are mostly complimentary except non dairy options. Just having non dairy options is a plus for me. There's no public restroom but there's novelties for sale to gander while you wait for your order. They order screen gives you an estimated time. If you're an influencer or like themed cafe's, visit owwhoo!

    All those things were for sale

    I have tried many times in the past to come here but had to go elsewhere because I had no luck with parking. My boyfriend and I had lunch in Chinatown, and I needed my boba, so I told him to drop me off there while I got my takeout. The cafe was very cozy and almost too cute for my taste, but I guess many people enjoy this vibe these days. The order is solely taken at the kiosk, and you just wait for the drink to come out. I ordered a Red Bean Milk Tea. Not many places have red bean drinks, so I had already made up my mind before coming here. My drink was good. It was too sweet, even with 75% sugar, but not too bad. Lots of red beans were settled on the bottom of the cup, and the milk tea itself was pretty fragrant compared to other generic milk teas. The staff was really friendly and professional, which made my experience more pleasant. One thing I did not like was the cup. Most boba shops use a sealing system to seal the drink so it won't spill, but for Owwhoo, the cup and the lid are separated. Because my cup was a bit overflowing, when I tilted the cup to sip, I spilled the milk tea on my white top and pants in the car. I do know that it isn't their fault, but sealing the cup would be much more advisable, in my personal opinion. Nonetheless, the cat-themed dome lid and the meowing sound upon entering and leaving were cute for crazy cat ladies like myself.

    A very cute cafe. This cafe has the perfect ambiance for a casual date or to study in. There's a lot of seating with couches, tables, and a desk to work at. The drinks here are really good and not too expensive. I got the Lemon Passion Fruit Green Tea and it was only $6.50 including tip. The lemon complemented the passionfruit flavor well and it was so refreshing on a hot summer day. The ladies at the front of the store are so nice. They made the drinks quickly and made recommendations based on our boba preferences. Parking can be a little tricky in the area since it is in Downtown. If you're lucky, there's street parking surrounding the perimeter of the shop, however, it's usually full. There's parking structures around the area, like on Flower St, but it can be a little expensive. I hope you enjoy your experience here!

    Owwhoo Cafe is honestly a really cool place to grab drinks from. They have a lot of cute and cool items inside the shop that you can look at while you're waiting for your order. Its asian owned and their flavors are popping! Boba is always a great drink for the summer so def a worthwhile spot!!

    Drink ordered: cocovado Came to this place after visiting my family in LA and was craving some boba. Ordered the cocovado and waited a very long time for the drink to come out. It took around 20+ minutes to make and upon drinking the drink, it was lukewarm. There was not that much taste to it as well. The inside interior was nice and very cozy however and definitely brought a relaxing vibe to the atmosphere. Overall, I had an okay experience but the drink has room for improvement.

    I just want to start off by saying, hallelujah. I've been saying DTLA needs a quality boba shop and my prayers were finally answered. Staff is always nice and friendly. The drinks speak for themselves. High quality and strong tea taste. They offer brown sugar boba among other toppings. One topping I found unique was the longan peony pink boba which complimented my jasmine milk tea quite well! Move over It's Boba Time! There's a new boba tea shop in DTLA!

    Cute interior with knickknacks that you can buy after purchasing your drink. This place had a lot of tea and coffee options. I got the banana milk smoothie regular size with soy milk and it did not disappoint. The size was rather huge and while I couldn't finish the whole thing, I did like the flavor of the banana as it didn't taste artificial. The service was quick. I was just passing by so I probably wouldn't seek out this place again but wouldn't mind getting something from here if I happen to come again.

    This is a nice and cozy place. Have a lot of Knick knacks to look at and workers here are very nice and welcoming. Service was great since they communicated with what I wanted when I wanted to change the sweetness. The drinks are really refreshing and I would definitely come back when I'm in the area.

    Owwwwwwhoooo! Haha I love the name- and the drinks are just as great! We got a iced matcha tea with boba and a Thai tea with boba. I will say they know how to give you good quality boba! What also makes the place special is the people who run it- two sweet women who were friendly and fun. Our drinks came out fast too! You wouldn't know it from the outside but they have a sheik space for people to sit and relax while they drink their tea or work. It's got a nice unique touch to it. Make sure you get your boba fix here!

    First time visiting, found it through DineLA. Good service, fantastic food with gluten free options…read more& cute interior decor. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The burrata, white nectarine, prosciutto, tomato salad was refreshing & flavorful. The crispy artichokes were excellent. The Provençal short ribs were super tender, it came with carrots, roasted tomatoes & potato. The seared cod was flakey & tender, cooked to perfection, it came with carrot purée & brussels sprouts. Our desserts strawberry chantilly & flourless chocolate cake were both delicious. There's indoor & outdoor seating & a parking lot next door for $15. My only complaints were that the chairs were hard and uncomfortable, and there was no AC. It was pretty hot and stuffy inside, so we ended up sitting outside. That said, we really enjoyed the food, and it's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

No option for time segments. Keep that in mind if you choose to park there. Service was hit and miss. Hostess who also seemed to be doing double duty as a server, was awesome. However, we sat at the bar thinking we'd have great service ... that's where it was hit and miss. He was busy - so it's understandable that he would focus on the job - except that we didn't have his undivided attention. He started taking our order then walked away. Almost to the point that we felt like he was just popping in, like checking in but then just walking off. This happened a few times. And, normally I'd be a little more irritated but he was busy and he didn't get our orders wrong and when we ordered, we didn't wait long. Food was good. Appetizers. See pics. I had a few glasses of wine - recently, I've been on a red wine kick. Not sure what happened but I'm not complaining. The apps were served quickly decent portion sizes for apps. Again, see pics. I like that there's parking nearby and the bar set up so you can sit indoors and still people watch - those walking by. Chose not to sit outside though - there was an incident with an individual right on the sidewalk that was handled with security presence. Welcome to DTLA!

We ordered a four-wine flight from the menu. Our server said he wasn't sure he had enough bottles open but would see what he could put together. We trusted that, as a wine bar, they would serve wines that were in good condition. Of the four wines we received, three tasted strongly of vinegar and were essentially undrinkable. We understand that natural wines can have unconventional or funky flavors, but these appeared spoiled and should not have been served. Our server never returned to ask how the wines were or why we had barely touched them. Instead, we were simply directed to pay through the QR code. The setting has real appeal, but serving clearly spoiled wine and then failing to check on customers made this a frustrating experience, especially given the high ratings & personal recommendation.

I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!
