The cutest little boba shop with unbeatable prices and quality! At this point we've tried four different drinks there: mango milk tea, pandan milk tea, sea cream Thai tea, and strawberry hibiscus. All were delicious and the boba is so good, too. We took our friend this weekend and she immediately said we need to go back! I haven't had a smoothie yet but I'm excited to try one next time we go in. Highly recommend!
I'm so happy that there's a boba place that's close by my home and I don't have to walk all the way into Sawtelle. The drinks are delicious, the place is clean and they always have awesome music on!
My favorite is House Coffee with Coffee Jelly. It's so delicious I always order 2 whenever I can 😁. Pandan and Thai Tea are phenomenal as well! I get pudding with them and they taste great!
The owners are always nice and welcoming. They also have a stamp card that earns you a free drink after your 10th drink!
I'll make this quick and simple because people seem to love my short but accurate reviews 🤙🏼

Friendly staff ✅

An awesome new boba spot. Their menu isn't overly complicated which allows them focus on quality. The staff are super friendly and the environment is welcoming. I have ordered several items and I have no problems. Their boba always tastes fresh. This is my go to spot whenever I'm in the area.
Copying from my Yelp(:
My first full day in LA and I saw a review was written two hours ago (Yelp) so that implied the spot was new. Self proclaimed boba connoisseur me knew I had to try it and cross it off my list. I had a few boba spots before this so I formed some expectation of LA boba (compared to Seattle).
I had the chance to talk to the owner and he is extremely friendly, welcoming, and kind. He also went out of his way to hand another customer their order outside. Service is fantastic and I hope it stays that way as they continue to thrive during their new opening.
The prices right now are 3.49 and 3.99 for a regular and large which is absurdly cheap. The fact that durian, avocado, and papaya drinks are also the same price is insane, I don't think I can stress the value enough because those flavors will be 1.5x the price if not more than regular boba at other places.
Chewy, soft boba but not much flavor so there's room for improvement but given the fact that it was free (promotion) and the store is new, I'm cutting some slack especially as the drink was solid.
House Milk Tea was recommended but I later learned that's because the Pandan Milk Tea was out and that was the owners(?) number one pick. House Milk Tea tasted like a Hong Kong style milk tea but slightly different with a thick black tea flavor. Strong choice for a boba lover.
I also tried the Strawberry Mojito which was a refreshing, sweet strawberry with a hint of lemon or lime for a small sourness (not overwhelming or overly obvious). Light drink that I'd order on a hot or warm day.
Come support local and new! Talk to the owner and give suggestions too, I'm sure he'd appreciate it and that he wants to continue to improve and accommodate or appeal to everyone.
