Your Honest Guide to Every Boba Shop in Los Angeles
I’ve visited 150+ bubble tea shops across LA County—and I’m documenting every single one. Real visits, honest reviews, original photos. No ads, no sponsorships, just pure boba obsession.
Why Another Boba Guide?
Because most boba reviews online are outdated, incomplete, or fake.
I created this site to solve a simple problem: Where should I get boba today?
After visiting 150+ shops across Los Angeles, I realized the internet is full of:
- ❌ Outdated reviews (shops closed 2 years ago)
- ❌ Copy-paste content (clearly never visited)
- ❌ Incomplete info (no photos, no menu details, no parking info)
- ❌ Fake reviews (sponsored content disguised as honest reviews)
So I built the site I wish existed:
- ✅ Real visits – Every shop reviewed, I visited in person
- ✅ Original photos – All photos taken by me during visits
- ✅ Detailed info – Parking, WiFi, atmosphere, prices, menu highlights
- ✅ Regular updates – I revisit shops quarterly to keep info current
- ✅ Zero sponsorships – I pay for every drink myself
What Makes This Guide Different
Proof of Visit
Every review includes original photos from my visit: exterior, interior, menu board, and drinks. No stock photos, no Google Images—just real documentation.
Honest Reviews
I pay for every drink with my own money. No partnerships, no sponsored posts, no “featured listings.” If a shop is mediocre, I’ll tell you. If it’s great, I’ll tell you why.
Hyperlocal Coverage
I don’t just review the “top 10 boba shops in LA” (boring). I cover every neighborhood, from Koreatown to San Gabriel Valley to Silver Lake. The goal: document EVERY boba shop in LA County.
