Welcome to Boba Lab

“ It is such a cool and modern looking store!! Great customer service and unique waffle dog that is so yummy. They also have cold drink tumblers for boba drinks!! So awesome! I love this place! Parking is a bit tricky. There are angular parking off Pico but one way street so map before you come by car. ”

“ This place is amazing!!! They make their own whipped cream! I got the coconut cream bubble tea and my friend got a strawberry slush. They even have different types of boba! This place is fresh and the staff are wonderfully nice. ”

“ Because of COVID the place was not very presentable, the boba wasn't as chewable as I would like. I will still come back. But they have to do something about parking, that I give 1 star ”

“ Boba lab was a great experience. Me and some friends were looking for a boba place in Santa Monica, and Boba lab was the right choice. It's not the traditional boba like at Kung Fu Tea, but it's sooooo good! The prices are average for boba, and there's lots of choices. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because it was way to sweet. I could barely finish mine (which is unusual!) Definitely wish they had a sugar % option. Bit still, I recommend this place and you should go there! ”

“ Small plain shop in an odd location in front of a bus stop, but they have a few parking spots in the alley. They have a large customizable selection of milk teas, fruit teas & more, choose your base of tea, lemonade or slush, choose your add in flavors & boba or jellies etc. They were all tasty and well balanced and tasted natural not artificial so seemed like good quality. Our new favorite spot. They had some interesting looking specialty drinks too. Oh and fried chicken, but didn’t try it. ”

“ Checked out Boba Lab on a Saturday afternoon. It was a quiet time, which was great because it meant I didn’t feel guilty peppering the cashier with questions about the difference between the ‘cream’ drinks and ‘marble’ drinks (seems the difference is just that former is blended together and the latter isn’t). We got the marble ube and natural taro cream. Both were truly delicious and tasted real (rather than like artificial flavoring). They let us use our reusable cups, which was great. Before they realized we had straws, they went to give us a couple and I was pleased to see they were compostable and wrapped in paper - no plastic! My only complaint was that the boba to drink ratio was a bit off. We both finished all of the boba in our drinks before the drink itself, which never really happens when we get boba other places. Would definitely return. Would perhaps just request more boba ”

“ We were staying at the Le Meridien and wanted an easy lunch. We saw this as available to order for pick up through GrubHub and the food would be ready fast so we chose this. Got chicken, bao, pork dumplings and a boba coffee and tea. The order was ready to pick up at the 15 minutes Mark and we went to pick it up. When you look at it from the outside you don't expect it to be great. The good exceeded our expectations after seeing the store. It is really good and if you just decided based only on how it looks from the outside you wouldn't think to order from there. The location doesn't help much as it's mid Street. But I would definitely go again. ”

“ The Customer Service is not that Friendly. Location is Subtle..Boba Taste Addictive ”
