Boba Loca - Manhattan Beach

Recently my coworkers have been coming back from their breaks with Boba drinks, and I’m always asking them the who, the what, and most importantly, the where. I finally found out that they got them from Boba Loca, which is right down the street from our job. So today was the day I finally decided to check them out and see what they’re all about. Boba Loca is located in a little shopping plaza right on aviation in Manhattan Beach, and there’s plenty of parking which is always a plus. When I entered, I, unfortunately, wasn't greeted, which kind of sucked considering they weren't busy. I ordered my drink which was a Thai iced tea with Boba. I got two large ones, one for myself and my hubby. Once I ordered, I didn’t have to wait long, which is always great. During my very minimal wait, I looked around and checked out their little space. In addition to drinks, they have snacks available and pastries. They have a seating area, and it seems like they have board games available to play with. When it was time to punch my straw in, I immediately took a sip. The Thai tea was delicious, and exactly how it should taste, my only issue was the Boba itself. The Boba was stuck together, which I didn’t like, and it just wasn't the freshest. Boba really makes a Boba drink a Boba drink. It seemed like a really cool place to hang out with friends and grab a drink or snack and play some games. I will definitely check them out again, and hopefully, they'll have a good batch of boba!

This owner deserves a lot of credit and your business due to his shear survival and hard work. I always get a latte here and am never disappointed. Never tried any other drinks etc so tough to give 5*. Great music but former seating limited now. Skip starbucks!

Pretty good bbt. We got Almond and Jasmine. Good tea flavor on both. Not crazy sweet. Perfect boba texture. Would have been nice for some black sugar sweetness to come from the boba, but it evened out to be pretty well balanced. 4.5/5 would visit again if in the area.

Min is super nice and the teas and smoothies are some of the best I've had!

Whipped up a strawberry banana boba in no time! Looks great.. my son requested this place after a playground accident. Hope he feels better after this!
