Bobaloca - Coffee shop in Manhattan Beach - 210 N Aviation Blvd, USA

This place is definitely one of the best in the South Bay! When it comes to boba, the milk tea is great, they have some unique flavors along with the classics, but what surprised me is the boba pearls themselves, which are ginormous, chewy, and flavorful but still come up the straw easily and frequently! What's more is the amazing atmosphere! This place resembles a cozy coffee shop with their comfy furniture and paintings, which is a nice twist! They also sell some pastries, which looked pretty good through the display (although I didn't try any). I would highly recommend this place to others in the area.

I had a great time at this place. The girl who works here and gave us Boba was really sweet, and I liked her a lot. After we got Boba, me and my friends hung out here until it was time for us to catch our flights. The atmosphere was awesome, and they had lots of board games for everyone to enjoy. We even played several rounds of Uno with some new friends we met there. It was a fun experience!

Fast and friendly. Great customer service. I got the taro milk tea and it was delicious.

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 is not the best tasting coffee spot. I had an espresso, and it was not very good. The baked goods are not that great either, but they don't make them do it is not their fault. The service was good. The inside was a little dark. It seems to be a nice place for the regulars that stop by for the sheer convenience of the place.

Update review: First off the service is great and friendly on my 2nd time there. Got 3 drinks, the pina colada smoothie with boba is really good. I’ve had their honey dew smoothie and it was good last time but not this time. It taste like water either too much ice or not enough flavoring. But all in all better this time then the first time.

Great Spot!! Big selection of BobbaTea flavors and delicious muffins. Sofas, tables, counter, lots of places to sit. Selection of games and books too! 👍🏼

I've been a regular here for a few years now and I've loved it all the time! Everyone that works there is so nice. The 2 times they're gotten something wrong, they fixed it instantly and even would even give me extra stuff to make up for it. Great place with great drink!
