Brown Cup Boba — Restaurant in Bellflower

SERVICE- The owners, Steve and Sunny, are very personable and attentive, especially Sunny who specifically helped me and took the time to thoroughly and passionately explain each drink and the intensive process that goes into making all the drinks.

DRINKS- I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the drinks, specifically the quality of the tea brewed rather than it just being overly sugary beverages that is typically seen with all the boba shops that have been popping up lately. Their sugar syrup is made in house and actually takes up to two hours to make each day. This difference is what makes their drinks perfectly sweetened without additional customization, although you can still customize drink sweetness to your liking. My personal favorites were the lavender milk tea and matcha strawberry milk.

PASSION FRUIT ICED JASMIN GREEN TEA WITH PASSION FRUIT POPPING BOBA- This drink has a unique texture with the popping boba. Some places have passion fruit but it tastes artificial, but this is fairly true to the original fruit flavor. Very refreshing with a nice balance of tea to sweetness ratio.

BROWN SUGAR CREME BRULEE- This drink is made with two different sugars to get the pretty gradation. It has a very rich, pure, and decadent brown sugar flavor. The crème brûlée makes it tastes like flan in a drink form. When shaken and mixed, it makes the frothy milk taste lightly sweetened and delicious. A sweet but non-caffeine option for kids!

MANGO SMOOTHIE WITH MANGO JELLY- This drink is very light, tangy, fruity and refreshing with a strong mango flavor. The owners are very particular with getting the smoothie consistency to perfection, so if it’s 100% they will remake again. A fun fruity flavor for kids!

HOUSE MILK TEA WITH BOBA- This drink has slight bitter undertones with a dark earthy brown sugar flavor. The tea flavor is strong with a hint of sweetness. The boba texture is the right amount of bite and chewiness. Tastes like traditional Hong Kong style milk tea.

LAVENDER MILK TEA- This drink is lightly sweetened with brown sugar with noticeable lavender flavor and the milk is super frothy. It is a twist on a classic drink that you can’t go wrong with.

THAI MILK TEA- This drink has a bright and distinctive orange hue and the taste is more similar to a traditionally sweetened Thai tea from Thailand. The tea is brewed to perfection and it’s not overly reliant on sweetener, allowing the tea itself to truly shine. It is a good choice if you want a strong tea that’s not too sweet at all.

MATCHA COCONUT MILK- This drink has a very strong matcha flavor that balanced with a nutty and pure coconut milk aroma. Don’t shake this drink! Good choice if you’re looking for a non sugary strong tea flavor.

MATCHA STRAWBERRY MILK- This drink is my personal favorite with the strawberry milk. It reminds me of Nestle strawberry milk with an adult spin due to the matcha. Don’t shake this drink either! Good if you want something sweeter and with a pretty color gradient for social media.

MACARONS- The presentation of the macarons is beautiful and perfect for events at SteelCraft without having to plate them yourself. I like that they use a local French supplier and offer so many options (dozens!) every single day. Usually at bakeries or cafes you only see a couple of options per day. For an extra $10, they will decorate and plate the macarons for you with flowers or even a happy...

Late post…came to try their stuff for the first time decided on the Matcha Coconut Milk Tea with a tad of boba…Iced of course because if you’re in the sun this fall you feel a bit hot but one foot in the shade and you feel that colder fall weather 🍃🍂🍁Steven helped me out that day and was so kind to bring my drink out to me …Greatly appreciate it💯🙌✅🌻 The Matcha 🍵 combination with the coconut milk was perfect not too sweet just right…Steven suggested I try just a little boba in it and I loved it! My Matcha did what I was looking for it to do…boost my BRAIN function oh and can’t forget antioxidant benefits as well as decreasing of stress. With these days being more stressful for some of us and when needing to accomplish certain task I’d suggest if you haven’t had matcha before give it a try I absolutely LOVE it…they have more drinks of course plenty of different types to choose from if you haven’t tried Brown Cup Boba I highly recommend it if you’re in the beautiful City of Bellflower it’s inside Steel Craft. Will I be returning remember my followers 🌻sunflowers mean 💯I sure will! P.S. don’t forget to get your card stamped each time you visit for your FREE small drink after your 6...

If you've got a friend to please, Brown Cup Boba is a really good choice. The atmosphere during the holidays in the evening is immaculate at this open-air venue with the live DJ while I am drinking my cup at this time of writing.

The Brown Sugar Creme Brulee Boba in particular really satisfies my big sweet tooth. Perfectly cooked boba pearls with smoothly soft creme brulee pudding at the bottom of the drink.

If you're looking for some idle time, I would definitely chill here for a bit. Figuratively and literally, as it's cold out here...
