Boba Loca

Omg probably the cutest and most yummy place to go! Great for slushies and vivas and they even have a smoking section but I don’t smoke. Very hip and trendy.

This is my first time here and the atmosphere is super cute and clean! Great for taking the perfect picture of your tea! I love the look and feel to it. As far as the drinks go, my boyfriend and I got Thai tea and I got boba. The Thai tea is very creamy which I like it has a stronger flavor which i love but it’s not as sweet as it should be. Also the texture of the boba is perfect only they were mini not the regular large size. Overall it was yummy just didn’t fully satisfy my craving for Thai tea with boba.

Im going to do this by pros and cons…
Pros: Pretty good boba, Clean sitting area and bathroom, outdoor seating area, nice ambiance.
Cons: Horrible service, someone in our party ordered a milk tea and ordered it sweetened and it came unsweetened, she brought it back, and being a paying customer, she requested her drink to be sweetened. The cashier then turned and had an argument with a worker in the back about the drink.

Love it. I can’t get enough. Mango smoothie is my favorite!!! Great customer service! Don’t have to wait too long for the drinks which I love. Walking distance from my home.

I went here with my sister. We just ordered a large honeydew boba, it was super good. Their service was pretty nice, they split out the large cup into to 2 cups, I really like it. Also they forget to put boba, we ask for it and they give us for free. Cute place to relax and study.

coming in everyday is a MUST.
I love hanging out there and I could do that all day :)

*** Kids love this stuff… (Garden Grove) ***
Boba must be the drink of choice for kids these days. I think it serves as both a hang-​out and replacement for carbonated sugar-​water. After going to the Tofu house next door my kids wanted a sugary treat. So Boba Loca was the place of choice since it was just walking distance a few parking spaces over.
I purchased some rainbow jelly drinks.
Here’s what liked…
* Nice, clean, and modern layout of the store.
Here’s what I didn’t like…
* The drink tasted okay for me, perhaps a little on the sweet side.
* My lower rating comes from the fact that a day later I still have a bunch of unfinished drinks in my refrigerator. Isn’t that like the ultimate test as to whether food is truly good, or someone just says that it’s good? When a person cleans off their plate or consumes the beverage completely is a good indicator how much they enjoy it. I can safely assume from the cups of unfinished boba is a indicator of a lack of interest in the beverage.
Food = not so tasty
Seating area = clean and well designed
Service = average
Restroom = unknown

After coming back here a few more times, I have decided to update my review. I think their drinks are a pretty solid rating, but the SERVICE from SOME EMPLOYEES are below standard.
First and foremost, I have only ordered the bobaloca coffee and jasmine milk tea. For those who don’t really like sweet drinks, this place can really make their drinks sweet even with ice. At one point, I think they tried to charge 50 cents for making a drink less sweet. Really now?
The bobaloca coffee has been consistent the many times I go there. I normally order less ice because I don’t like drinks being as cold. Ordering less ice is better than ordering no ice, because the last time i ordered NO ICE, they didn’t fill up the cup completely. I was speechless at how stingy they were that they couldn’t fill up my cup completely just because I didn’t want ice.
The jasmine milk tea is sometimes spot on, sometimes off. The last 2 times I got it, it was filled with tea taste. Today was the worst. My drink did not have SUGAR at all. I immediately confronted the guy who made the drink because I was so shocked at how they could have done such a thing. He did not even bother apologizing.
The convo went like this:
«Excuse me, this drink doesn’t have any sugar at all.»
«It does have sugar.»
«Sorry, but it doesn’t…Can you fix it?»
«Yes…» Reluctantly, he fixed it and didn’t even bother to call me when it was done. He just dumped it on the counter. I should have told him to try it and he would know how disgusted I was.
THIS IS NOT HOW YOU DO SERVICE. DO NOT ARGUE WITH THE CUSTOMER.
Overall, I am quite pissed over this situation.
On another note, they used to accept credit cards, but now it is CASH ONLY.

I was craving some Boba this weekend and I decided to follow the Unilocal recommendations, which led me to this establishment.
I ordered the passion fruit tea with lychee jelly. It was sweeter than I expected and definitely refreshing! The service was prompt and quick and I was in and out of there rather quickly. The price range was anywhere from $ 4/​$ 5 for a drink, but I think it was worth it for the flavor.
They do have an outdoor seating area if you want to sit back and relax over some bubble tea with friends.

This coffee spot was around before all the hype started with boba joints. My usual is the jasmine milk tea without boba. Tea flavor is just right. Not excessively sweet.
On warm summer days, the fruit slushes hit the spot. It’s ice blended and non-​dairy. A great option instead of a smoothie. I like the pineapple slush. Very light and refreshing!
The service is always great and friendly. They have a small selection of desserts: cheesecake, churros, and macarons. Promo for a free dessert with check-​in has expired.
Recently, they transitioned to a new owner. The shop has been revamped to look more modern and trendy. It’s more bright and welcoming. Many tables available to relax, study, or chill with some friends. Get a stamp card and get your boba on!

The environment is chilllllll. It’s so chill they even have a sign that says that. They have board games and it’s just a fun place to study
『environment』5/5 ^^^
『quality/presentation』3/5 To-​go cups only so it’s whatevrrr. The quality isn’t anything special either, v sweet, too sweet tbh
『quanity』5/5 They have a lot of items and popping boba
『price』3/5 a bit pricey tbh
『service』4/5 cute and friendly workers, but the wait is always longer than average

Worse boba experience in my life! I give them zero stars. Maybe because I’m a boba snob, spoiled by some amazing bobas in Vegas. We just got out of Disneyland and Unilocaled ‘boba’. Boba Loca wasn’t the closest to our hotel but it has 4 stars so we took the extra drive, only to be severely disappointed.
I initially ordered a Mango slush boba and Watermelon Juice Boba. There was a girl and guy working last night (02.15.16). Girl at register, guy in the back. After the girl told the guy my order, he said they didn’t have any watermelon and if I wanted a different flavor. Then the girl blasts him and said, «are you sure? We have them in the back, you just don’t want to cut them.»
Feeling bad because they’d have to work by cutting up watermelon, I then decided I’ll just change my order to a Pina Colada slush boba. 5 min or so later, my order is done. As I am piercing my boba lid with the straw, the girl asks the guy, «uhh, what did you make the Piña Colada with? We ran out of coconut powder.» The guy goes, «there was a little bit left.»
As I am starring at them call each other out, I sip my piña colada and reacted to what my taste buds just came in contact with. My face grimaced with disgust because, and I said aloud, «what the fuck is this shit?» Lol. It didn’t taste like piña colada, pineapple or coconuts. I don’t know what I just tasted but it was close to crap and nothing. They apologized and said they’d make me another drink. So I told them, I’m going to order my initial watermelon drink with boba because they had watermelons in the back. Yes, I called them out on what I heard them say earlier.
So the girl forcefully «worked» and went to the back to cut a watermelon for my drink. As I waited, I went to my car to get my daughter because my husband was texting me saying she wanted to come out. So I gave my husband his mango slush to drink while he was with my sons in the car and while my daughter and I wait inside. Then my husband honks the horn to get my attention and is waving his drink outside the window. He said it tasted so bland and when I tried it, it was seriously water with a hint of mango lol.
I felt bad again but I am a paying customer. I had to tell the guy and he said he’ll remake it and add more sugar omg! Then as I am watching him make my watermelon, I am SMH at how many times he took the top part of blender away (probably tasting it) and then put it back to blend for like 5 times. I finally get both drinks back, probably 20 minutes later (mind you they were not busy), not even trying it because I was so mad. My husband’s mango was a little better but he wasn’t at peace knowing the guy used «more sugar», and my watermelon drink was just WATER with WATER boba. Then it dawned on me that the watermelon slush wasn’t even supposed to be slush. It was supposed to be watermelon JUICE with boba!!! They don’t even have watermelon slush on their menu. Ugh I was so annoyed. Wasted a good 30 min there for NOTHING!!!

Finally came in here after driving by it like almost everyday. So where do I begin …
Customer service was GREAT very friendly sweet and prompt
The staff is new from what they told me so they didn’t know how to make the funnel cake thing which is the main reason I came :((((((but it’s okay I understand so me and my sister settled for their chocolate cake which was delicious!!! It wasn’t very sweet or overwhelming (although that’s how I like my chocolate chocolate cakes) it was bomb!!! And we also ordered milk tea with no boba (my little sister doesn’t like boba) and they gave it to us with boba and when I told them they very kindly switched it out and were seriously so nice about it. About the taste of the milk tea I was surprised and it was verrryyyyy taste it was perfect!
We then proceeded to order a white chocolate mocha latte but they served it to us in a to-​go cup so I was sad I couldn’t get a pretty picture … :(but overall great experience I can’t wait to study here once spring semester starts!!!

Came here with my parents for a little post-​dinner beverage after our most recent visit to BCD Tofu a few doors down. My mom always wants a little coffee after dinner and this place fit the bill. We hadn’t been here in years and I was pleasantly surprised to see the cute remodel. The long wooden table with the lit «CHILL» sign is definitely the prime spot, and I scored an awesome photo opp for my parents under that sign (
). Mom got a capuccino and my brother and I got a milk tea with boba. There was only one guy working behind the counter (that I could see) but it wasn’t that busy and he had everything under control – our drinks came out in a timely fashion. The drinks were good and we had a nice time just sipping our drinks and chillaxing under the chill sign. Definitely a cute place to hang with some beverages and your favorite peeps.
STEPH JUDGEMENT: Cute little place with reliably good drinks and friendly staff.

Another boba shop off my list! Cute little shop with some tasty drinks. I got the red bean milk tea with boba and it was good! It was just a tad bit too sweet for my liking but if it was toned down just a bit I would surely enjoyed it more. My boyfriend really like his milk tea with boba though. The boba itself had a good chew and not mushy. Overall, not a bad boba shop to try out and pricing is reasonable too.

Pretty cool spot to study during the day but not sure about night time.
I have tried their boba coffee and it was pretty strong. I think their boba is pretty good quality although I am no boba connoisoiur. The wifi was working pretty well with pretty decent speed. Balls taste soft and fresh.
I have had their Unilocal check in offer macaroons before. Although I wouldn’t buy them, I think they are not bad for being free.
There is a shared parking lot but I never had trouble finding parking the last 2 times I was here.

Check-​in deal: free churro or macaron; don’t pass it up!
This place has undergone a makeover since I last have been here. Love the vibe. Think white porcelain tile backsplashes and rustic elements with the furniture and accent pieces. Staged perfectly to play catch up with a long time friend.
The drinks are just average so far, I haven’t gotten anything that I love quite yet but in terms of convenience, this is pretty close to me and will likely be a reason I would come back.

OMG! the macaroons at this place are amazing, especially, when they are free, out of this world. Remember to check in on Unilocal for a free macaroon with your purchases. My friend and I were looking for a new boba place, so we decided to give this place a try since it is near our house and it has good reviews on Unilocal.My friend got the Jasmine Milk Tea while I ordered the Lychee Green Tea. The drinks at this place are on the non-​sweet side, so if you want your drinks to be sweeter, let them know.
The workers are extremely friendly and I do not think they were faking it either. Some places, the staffs pretend to be nice so customers would come back, but this was not the case. Normally, I am not a big fan of macaroons. Every time I eat them, I feel like eating sugar. However, the macaroons at this place were so good that I was considering about coming back for them.

Love this place! Super cute little shop located in a nice plaza. First time trying this place and I was definitely impressed! Got an almond milk tea with boba and vanilla pudding, which was my first time ever trying vanilla pudding before. My fiancé and I usually get this drink with egg pudding but they told us they didn’t serve it so we decided to try vanilla. We were kinda worried vanilla might be too sweet but we thought we could just share a large if anything, and so glad we ddid because it was delicious! Really soft pudding and just the right amount of sweetness! Went so well with our almond milk tea. There are also little fun board games you can play and a good amount of tables for people to hang out or even study, both inside and outside. Really like the setting and cute little quotes posted on the wall. They also had cute little tea cups and other things on display.
When I checked in, I got a coupon for a free churro and they accepted it and gave it to us right away. The churro wasn’t that great, but hey, it was free!
Service was great as well. Friendly employees. Totally recommend this place to any boba lover! Will be back :)

Gawd this place is not that good, but I just can’t give them a 2 stars. They were too friendly and nice. You check in and get a free churro or macaroon both of which I didn’t really care for. I saw that people were saying that the almond milk tea was really good since its blended like a slush so I said well damn lemme get that.
They made it really quick so I was a bit scared already. Upon drinking it, the texture was very weird. It was too creamy and tasted more milky than tea. I didn’t really even taste any sign of slush at all just mainly ice. After a couple of sips it was all gone since they really pack ice in it (I find new places like to do that a lot tho).
The store was relatively empty. Its located in a small complex with a bunch of bums. Inside the store is really nice. There’s a good amount of seats since nobody really was there. Overall, the service was friendly but the almond milk tea wasn’t really up to par.
