Okay, there are like a million boba shops all over the place in LA. Sometimes the most random shops will sell boba milk tea, so you literally can get it anywhere. Most boba specialty shops are really purchase-and-go places. They don’t really encourage you to stay and hang out because they’re often small and have few seats, and the ones they have are not really that comfortable.
Some of the most common chains are:
Lollicup
Quickly
Boba Loca Juice & Coffee
A specialty chain is Half & Half Tea House, which has higher grade choices and ingredients in a big fat cup.
Also, there’s Ozero and their matcha jasmine green tea float that I just can’t get enough of.
