This place understands one's need for a lot of boba, having pretty big cups to put tea in but also come in jugs. I love Thai tea and this places brews a pretty good cup. Their karage chicken is also pretty good, having a lot of pepper seasoning as well as sauce that comes with it. If you can find a good parking spot along the LBX parking lot, it's worth coming to Tastea to get some boba. read more

Tastea - A jug of Thai Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

My new favorite drink place to go too. I went here for the 1st time looking for a refreshing drink. I was undecided between 3 drinks and the cashier recommended a drink. The drink was soooo good. Definitely coming back read more

Tastea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

I took off one star because I'm not a big fan of their tea drinks but I come to tastea so much just for their avocado avalanche! Their avocado avalanche smoothie is one of the best drinks I've ever had! It's so delicious. I also think their taro smoothie is good. There's usually a line outside but I recommend coming here! read more

Literally just watched a couple who came in and ordered TEN MINUTES AFTER ME get lightning speed service while I had to walk up, inquire while my DRINKS ARE LITERALLY SITTING THERE BECAUSE NO ONE CALLED MY NAME FOR THE PAST FIFTEEN MINUTES. The guy who not ONLY TOOK MY ORDER looked me dead in the eyes and asked me if I ordered online, tells me my drinks aren't ready despite me literally STARING at them on the counter, him sending me back, only to CALL MY NAME THIRTY SECONDS LATER. Oh my god... Fastest review I've ever written after leaving a store. Started writing the moment I left because how annoyed I was. This is what I get for going for convenience over competence, Sharetea actually does their job right EVERY time and their drinks are better so I'll take my 3x a week habit back there for good. read more

Just order in person. Placed an order online. Got there at pick up time while some people were ordering and a line started forming. Everyone in that line and who came after everyone had left got their order before me. I had told them when I came in that I placed an online order. I only ordered 2 drinks. read more

I didn't even know we had a Tastea close by! I was surprise to find it on Yelp since my coworkers were all ordering boba today, I figured I would give it a try. It was delivered on time and everything was secured! I ordered their House Special Coffee with Honey Boba and the chicken. It's so good! I highly recommend ordering from here. read more

I asked for a blended Thai tea smoothie as I didn't see it on the menu. The cashier mentioned they can still make it. Little did I know she was going to charge me $1 extra just to make it. I then ordered the 32 oz with boba. As I approached the side to pick up I noticed the guy making my drink only added a very small amount of boba. I kindly asked him to add more and he told another guy I complained it wasn't enough. The other guy said he would charge me 70 cents for more. So I paid the extra charge again. I pretty much paid $10 total for my large 32 oz Thai tea smoothie with boba which I think was very over priced. Lastly I got my drink and was very disappointed. The Thai tea was very light colored and tasted like milk with sweetener. I was so disappointed that I won't be back to this location again. read more

I love the fact there's a boba place in this plaza. I got the lychee peachy with honeyboba. The taste is refreshing with little bits of lychee. However, I wish they put more boba in the drink. Otherwise, service is quick. Place is clean. read more

You gotta have a boba joint in the LBX! Centrally located. Easy access. Tastea is a solid boba chain. It offers lots of delicious flavors and I always appreciate places that are customizable with your level of sweetness and ice. Customer service is prompt and friendly. We tried their Muddy Melon drink which is a refreshing watermelon juice. Delicious!!! Would come back and try their other flavors read more

It was ok. I ordered the large size but they gave me a small. Staffs are college kids and not pay attention enough. I also asked what's differences two kinds of boba are but didn't get the answer. The drink was ok and not anything special. Parking is easy but sometime it could be clouded. There are so many boba places here so I won't go back there. read more

The drink selection is pretty basic but they're consistent with the preparation of their drinks. I usually get the milk tea or peach tea and it's always good. The snacks are well seasoned. The service is top notch compared to most boba places. The store is always clean and organize. read more

Drinks here are delicious. Fries and their appetizers are so good you must try. Their drinks are so tasty and fresh my kids love their Boba. I prefer no Boba but their Chamango is so good it has a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Staff are always very nice and the place is always busy. read more

I love this place, but they need to speed up their service. Lines are always out the door here, and I think it's largely due to customer questions. They should put a menu outside since they're having people line up there due to Covid. That way people can decide a bit before they get inside. And yes, I do use their online ordering, but this place tends to close that off pretty early. I would highly recommend using it when it is available as the wait can get upwards of 30 minutes sometimes. Overall, I've mostly had the fruit teas which are great. They offer many seasonal drinks too. Parking is a bit hit or miss here since this plaza does get busy during peak hours. read more

Tastea has really good honey boba, yes it's green but tastes like normal boba. I got the Jasmine Milk tea 75% sweet and it was very good, sweet enough for me and I like my drinks sweet. Join their rewards program, you can use it at all their locations. Free parking at this location. read more

I was so thrilled when they opened this location. It had been years since I've had Tastea because the Westminster location is just too far. The quality is amazing as expected, but what puts this venue above and beyond any other local tea place (besides the taste!) is the consistently awesome customer service. The staff clearly communicate with me and will ask me for clarification. And I love that they ask me if I'm a rewards member because I sometimes forget to mention it. After two seasons of Rona, and going into our third, I appreciate their mindful approach. Remember: These folks work really hard. Be kind to them and tip them well. read more

This place is amazing!! The location is great too! Plenty of parking, the entire plaza is new and beautiful, it is great to just relax at and walk around. I'm a huge boba tea fan and love to try all different places. What I loved about this location was the variety of tea flavors and boba! I ordered the matcha thai tea because I love both those types of tea and I was curious how they would taste together. Turns out, they taste great! The combination really works. I also ordered the honey boba instead of the regular boba to try it out. It was a sweeter flavor but I really liked it! The price is definitely reasonable for the amount of boba tea you get. There is also a lot of food served at this location. I didn't try any at this visit but the food other people were ordering looked really good. This location is perfect if you are craving a boba tea because there really isn't another boba tea restaurant in the complex. There are plenty of other shops and restaurants so I bought some tea and enjoyed my walk around! I will definitely be back again soon! read more

So good and so FRESH! I've had my fair share of boba and this place really hit the spot. Not only is their boba cooked to a nice consistency (just the right balance of chewy and soft), but their range of flavors is spectacular as well! While I can't speak for their milk teas (I was in a fruity mood), I did try a handful of their fruit-based drinks and teas. We ordered the lychee freeze, watermelon heaven (seasonal!), muddy melon, & peach me sweetea as well as bites: specifically, the karate chicken, buttload'a fries & shrimp on it. My favorites were the watermelon heaven (a blended watermelon drink with fresh cut watermelon bits!) and muddy melon (fresh watermelon and black tea). I modified mine to be without sugar and with boba, and it was plenty sweet from natural sugars and pre-mixed tea sugar flavor. Their snacks pair well with the drinks and are shareable portions -- they're worth trying if you come by (get the chicken... and who doesn't love fries?!) In addition to the freshness and quality of the drinks, their service was above-and-beyond hospitable and delightful in advising us on their expansive menu options and being patient while we ordered -- and even helping to accommodate us in taking pics for the gram! (Shoutout to Ally & Brian for being so sweet!) This is a new spot located in the Long Beach Exchange. There's not much indoor seating, but there are a couple benches outside, a sprawling grassy area and an entire table area on the patio right outside. Super cute interior and very clean -- a great finish to your meal if you decided to eat nearby or want to grab a snack and hang with friends. Plenty of parking too! Definitely stop by for a superior tea experience. read more

Tastea has some of the best Asian fruity drinks!! This is the lychee freeze with lychee jelly, and their house special seasalt coffee. They're out of the Watermelon, but that is in season and is my ULTIMATE FAVORITE drink there!!!! It's made with fresh Watermelon and Watermelon chunks. I literally crave it all year round. read more

We usually frequent the Tastea's in the Irvine/OC area, but since there was a special event going on, we decided to give it a try. We love Tastea no matter where we go, so we thought it'd be the same for this location - we were completely right!! Staff is extremely friendly, and the quality of their drinks is on par with every other location we've been to. I think the interior of this Tastea is definitely a bit cramped, so when it gets busy (like it did when we went for a special occasion), it can be difficult to maneuver your way around people in line. Strawberry Ecsteasy ($4.50): My go-to drink, pretty much every time I go to a Tastea. There's something about the mix of Strawberry and Black Tea that goes so well together - add in the grass jelly, and you have a bomb drink!!!! I also saw that they now have drip coffee - they had a sample for their new Vietnamese coffee and BOY it is strong!!! I might grab it the next time I'm feeling tired because that will absolutely wake me up. This location does have a really nice small field area, and is surrounded by several other businesses that have food and shopping choices for your leisure. read more

WORDS CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW HAPPY I AM TO HAVE A DECENT BOBA PLACE IN LONG BEACH... because hiccups is so mediocre and Zero Express had closed. This location is located next to the LBX Hangar, and there is a ton of parking in front of, behind, and on the side of this area. Everyone there is super friendly, the menu is the same as the others, and the quality is just as good as the others. The only downside is that there are no seats in this location, but I guess you can walk to the Hangar and sit there. read more

Response to Emily of Tastea: I took out the part about the add-on price increase! My bad, I don't know why I thought it was originally $.40 when I first came in May. I do appreciate you reaching out! Next time I'm at LBX and could go for some boba I'll give your suggestions a try. Thanks again! July 2019 UPDATE: So I did come back to try the boba with no sweetness at all. I got the almond milk tea with honey boba for $5.10. The boba is still soft and delicious at least! As for the drink, it was still incredibly sweet, even at 0/4 sweetness. I had my friend who has much more of a sweet tooth than I try it to confirm I wasn't crazy. Even he admitted it was really sweet. It also was far too almondy. Upon entering Tastea, I had ironically commented to my friend that it smelled like almond extract, which I love, just as I love almond flavoring. But this is probably the worst almond milk tea I've gotten at any boba place. It tasted how I imagine any drink would after pouring almond extract for 5 seconds straight. I wasn't actually watching them add the powder so I don't know how much was in there. But it gave the drink a kick that did not belong there at all. The spice actually scratched the back of my throat after a few sips. I've never had that happen with an almond milk tea before. I wasn't able to finish the drink. Oh well, now I know this is not the boba place for me Summary: - drinks very sweet even at 0/4 sweetness. Was confirmed by my sweet tooth friend who loves sugar way more than me - my almond milk tea was far too almondy, the powder (I assume) actually made the drink pretty spicy in not a good way - the honey boba is great though read more

I'm so happy Long Beach is finally getting more Tea Houses. Tastea is more mainstream but it still is tastey. I don't step out to far on my comfort zone when it comes to my beverages. Mostly because I think $5 is expensive for a drink and if I'm spending $5 on a drink and it's nasty... I'm pissed. So I stay in my comfort zone which is and Almond Milk Tea (made with black tea) no Boba. I prefer all drink. Check them out. They do have of about 5-10 mins wait time. Not sure if they have per order but if you go to this location at the LB Exchange, don't be in a rush anyway. Patiently wait for your drink and enjoy the ambiance while sipping on your bev. read more

Tastea - Vietnamese Iced Coffee - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

Update 5/27/2023: tried the boba again at this location a few days ago, and it's much much better. Thank goodness they are back to the green boba and not that mushy orange junk they had for a while. While I'm not a fan of my boba being colored green, I do appreciate that it is the right texture, and so I'm changing my review back to 4/5 stars. I've heard good things about the chicken here so also look forward to coming back and trying that sometime. read more

Looking for refreshing milk & fresh teas? This is a perfect place to try! -Upon entrance I was greeted with a nice "Welcome" by the staff members. The line wasn't too long, probably a 5-6 minute wait to order, especially around Sunday afternoon. -I came with a group of friends, so we ordered a variety of drinks and snacks: Golden Milk Tea, The Unknown, Lychee Peachee, and the Watermelon Slush (seasonal), popcorn chicken and popcorn shrimp. *The Unknown: It's one of their specialtea drinks. It was super refreshing. The drink was super fruity and the fruit bits added to the drink experiences (9.6/10) *Lychee Peachee: This was in their top 10 drink list, so I wanted to give it a try. I ordered it with honey boba, which was cooked perfectly and gave a nice chewy texture. This drink is also super fruity and refreshing, the Lychee flavor is subtle though and it had Lychee fruit bits too! (9.5/10) *Popcorn Shrimp: Definitely ordering this again whenever I'm craving fried shrimp. The popcorn shrimp was nicely seasoned and had a nice kick to it (got it with medium spice) Also, the portion was great for the price, usually fried snacks from boba places are so small. read more

Tastea is hands down my FAVORITE boba shop for fruit teas. Can't get enough of that Bootea Shaker (less sweet) and OMG the fries are the best! Also, for the health conscious, their popcorn chicken uses white meat and the batter is super light so you won't end up feeling as guilty ;) If you haven't had Tastea, don't call yourself a boba lover please. This location in particular has extremely friendly staff. The 5 times I've been (grand opening included), every single staff has had a smile on when greeting me. When drinks were not to my liking (not sweet enough or too sweet), they've been more than accommodating. Honestly every boba shop has different sugar levels so it's really nice that they will adjust for you after you taste it. If you're thinking of having tastea at a party, do it! I ordered 4 partea jugs for a wedding this past Saturday and the order was there when I arrived for pick up. The team is quite responsive which is extremely important when it comes to event planning. I really appreciated it! Also, for the comment with the low rating regarding reusable bottles, I don't think that should be this location's fault if it's a corporate policy at the moment to not allow reusable cups. I'm sure they'll all get there in the near future (hopefully). read more

I've been here a few times and I've never had a problem with the quality of the drinks (never had their food). It's good. The reason for the one star is my last experience. I placed an online order via DoorDash and scheduled a pickup window between 5:45pm-6:15pm. It was about 4:50pm when I placed the order and I placed it for that window specifically because I could not get there until the pickup window that I requested. Technically, the order was ready to be picked up by then, but any reasonable food service should understand that you don't finish the drinks 30 minutes BEFORE the pickup window. The receipt even says pickup time is 6:05pm (which is on the tail end of when my order was to be ready), but I got the email my order was ready at 5:12pm. So I picked up my order and, to no one's surprise, it was watered down due to the ice melting. Due to a different restaurant not having my order ready in the time requested (that's a different yelp review) I was not able to arrive until about 6:30. And if the ice was melted because of that, that would have been on me and NOT Tastea and I would not have rated them 1 star. But there's no reason that an order, which clearly took about 10 minutes to complete, should not have been ready in 10 minutes when the pickup time, according to the receipt, was about 40 minutes later. read more

Quick service for a brand new location. Very friendly and helpful staff! The fried shrimps are perfectly seasoned and crispy. The fries are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside I hope they are able to keep up the quality and attitude. My only criticism is that the drinks are very sweet compared to other Tastea, so definitely request less sweet if you don't have a major sweet tooth. I will return and and update if there are any changes! read more

ordered from here again today, finally got a straw for my drink (previous negative report was due to having no straw on both orders). every time i kept drinking the boba it smelled really bad but I didn't noticed until I finally smelled the LID of the cup. It legit smelled like urine, I promise you not. I am so disgusted right now. Please see my receipt and who the person in charge is and investigate. You guys need to check your cups right now, I am so close to filing a report on health services. read more

I have a love hate relationship when it comes to Tastea. I remember when they first started it was just one then two locations. Now they have so many all over Cali. Anyways back to this LBX location. My boyfriend and I came here one night because it was my bf sister's baby shower and everyone wanted tea. So we decided to go and get it. We stopped by tastea right before they closed. The manager Brian took our order and honestly he was really nice and friendly. He was professional and knew what he was doing. We ordered about 8 or 9 drinks in total so it was big order. They even gave us a whole cup of free popping boba. So that was really sweet of them. Now I gave this location 3 stars was because one drink was missing. My bf and I didn't notice until we got back to the party and someone was missing a drink. And that someone was the pregnant mom to be. So it wasn't pretty because she didn't get her drink. But overall, the customer service here is good and they were nice. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area for tea. read more

Tastea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

I love coming to this Tastea near LBX and have to say the drinks are made consistently good. The only thing that bothers me is the attitude of who I think is the manager. He is this bigger Asian guy with a beard and he would always sound so upset and pissed off when speaking to me and my friend for no reason. The workers are kind and nice, but everytime I see him, he always looks upset/pissed off. I just wish he could treat customers in a nicer manner since he looks like he is some sort of "higher up" there. read more

We were on the way to Wholesale nutrition center and made a quick stop for some tea. We're from the 626 and I KNOW there's a few locations there but doesn't hurt to try. We found this location on yelp. It has a clean fresh atmosphere. Cashier was very friendly, I didn't get her name but when we got our drinks, the guy who made our drinks had a good mood too. The one thing that caught my attention was when I asked the cashier if they were doing stamps card as she finished ringing up my order & said "We don't do stamps card anymore, only app now. I can also print out the receipt and you can scan the bar code from the app for rewards!" Thank you, for being attentive! We got tootie fruitea half sweet less ice. Maybe we shouldn't have gotten the bigger cup because we was so bloated after but WORTH IT. Service was A1, we got our drinks less than 5 minutes and there were plenty of workers so that's good. Came on a sunday too, good flow. Compared to other locations, LB has the BEST service and cleanliness compared to some of the ones I have been to. No negative vibes nothing, nada. Anyway :) Keep it up, I'll come back ! read more

Tastea - 30oz - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

-Location: This new location of Tastea is conveniently near the Long Beach airport and also located next to a huge plaza of retail shops and other trendy restaurants in a large food hall (similar to the Anaheim packing house or Union Market in Tustin). -Service: Though they just opened, I can tell the team had been trained and were genuinely trying to provide the best service. They try to streamline the ordering experience by having a screen so you can view your order summary, apps for rewards (pro tip: you get a free drink just for signing up as well as a free bday drink), receipt by text/email/print, etc. -Food/Drinks: I ordered a Peach Me Sweetea and Jasmine Sea Cream Milk tea and both were standard. The teas were fragrant without being overpowering and not too sweet! We also ordered popcorn chicken and it was crispy and hot. The one difference I did notice is that the wait didn't take long at all, maybe less than 10 mins for everything to come including chicken (unheard of at other tastea locations esp garden grove!!) For the service alone, I was satisfied. Food and drinks are on par with any other tastea- hits the spot. I recommend taking your order to sit on the lawn or plentiful seats in front and enjoying the outdoors. :))) read more

Came in 15 mins before closing so I was worried the workers might be irritated since I understand they want to close/go home but i was welcomed in which I really appreciate! Ordered my favorite, the avocado avalanche, but was a bit taken aback to see it now costs $6.40 for a regular 20oz since the market price for avocados increases. It was nice that they had a sign out just for customers to be aware of the price for this drink but of course I got it regardless. Drink came out fast (I love how workers start on the drink as soon as you verbally say it). My smoothie was so fresh and creamy with the perfect subtle sweetness (probably from the condensed milk?) Great customer service from Elizabeth who took my order at the register tonight and the guy who called out my drink and even wished me a good night as I left. I really commend great and genuine customer service like this! This location fits perfect with the ongoing hype and crowd of the LBX hangar. read more
