Top Boba Spots in Los Angeles

It is warming up in Southern California, and that means I will be looking for a way to keep cool. What better way to beat the heat than with a giant boba? Boba, which is sometimes called milk tea or boba tea, is a refreshing, chilled drink that sometimes contains chewy tapioca pearls. They come in a variety of flavors with all sorts of addons, so there is literally something for everyone when it comes to boba. If you are not sure which places are worth the trip, then allow me to help. I have sampled plenty of them, and these are the three best boba spots in Los Angeles.

With three locations throughout Los Angels County, Tea Brick offers customers all sorts of variety. They have fruity options, creamy options, or just a tall glass of iced tea that can cool off even the hottest Angelino. My personal favorite is the Party Punch which is an iced watermelon tea with strawberry ice cream and so perfect for the warm weather. My second favorite is the Christine, which is strawberry mango with passionfruit flavor and I love adding lychee to make the drink a bit sweeter. If I happen to be hungry when I visit, I just grab an item off of their snack menu. They have all the great finger foods from nuggets to French fries. When I am in the mood for dessert, I can’t go wrong with their Nutella and chocolate brick toast. It is as tasty as it sounds, plus it is topped with berries, mangos, and ice cream which is the best kind of dessert for your Instagram post.

What I recommend:Christine & Party Punch

Omomo Tea Shoppe

It is easy for me to see why guests of Omomo might feel a little overwhelmed. They have so many options to choose from. The fact that they are on this list should demonstrate that no matter which of their options you choose, you will not be disappointed. Their coffee offerings, such as their Americano with tiramisu, are all quite decadent. When I want something lighter, I go with their strawberry fruit tornado. It has a hint of lemon mixed with their cheese foam. If these all sound a little too heavy, try a crisp glass of their jasmine green tea because this is the safest drink for anyone. Uji matcha milk tea is another great option because their matcha is concentrated and smooth down the throat. I love everything about Omomo because all the drinks I've gotten in the past has surpassed all my expectations.

With multiple locations around all of Southern California, It’s Boba Time will be close by for anyone who would like a refreshing, cold milk tea. Like the other boba spots listed, they have tons of variety. They do everything from hot coffee to iced fruit teas. They make a dynamite Thai milk tea that is one of their best sellers. Besides their boba, I also like to cool down with one of their slushes on occasion. Their mango cream slush is as cool and tasty as it sounds. For those who show up hungry, some locations even offer fruit bowls that are as pretty as they are delicious.

What I recommend; Mango cream slush

Location: 701 S Vermont Ave Los Angeles, CA 90005

I hope that the above list will stop you from running all over town in the heat to find a refreshing milk tea. If you try any of these places, you are sure to find the perfect drink to help you keep your cool as the summer months approach. Let me know what your favorite boba drinks are in Los Angeles!
