Boba Guys Long Beach — Restaurant in Long Beach

This visit the Sapin Sapin drink reminded me why I enjoy Boba Guys over other boba spots, it tastes more fresh. I recommend getting the Sapin Sapin with regular ice & letting it melt for a while bc it was very sweet. Once more of the ice melts it’s perfect! You could really taste all the listed flavors & the texture of the coconut flakes was nice. Some of the non-dairy drinks could use some work but this coconut-based one is lovely! My husband usually gets the Black Sugar Hojicha & that one is almost always great. Two visits ago I ordered a seasonal chocolate drink made with oat milk but something was so off about it. That was my first time ordering a drink that came with oat milk & it tasted like it had gone bad & the boba was really hard. Maybe it just depends on who’s working, but as a whole company Boba Guys has the right model. I appreciate that they use less junk in their offerings, hopefully they continue...

Decent boba drinks!

My sister and I had high hopes for this place because they're a pretty popular chain. For a shop with the word "boba" in its name, we expect the boba to be nearly perfect but it wasn’t very soft. To be fair, they had just opened so maybe the boba just wasn't completely ready. Their menu is pretty wide, however, and they have a good range of flavors to pick from.

Lychee Oolong Fruit Fresca: 8/10 - light and refreshing Passionfruit Fresca: 6/10 - super sour Mango Jasmine Fresca: 8/10 - subtle mango flavor Boba: 7/10 - harder than we would've liked

The workers were really nice and accommodating when we asked to change our drink. They gave us a different drink that we chose and found it to be better. The shop is located near the outskirts of the shopping center and has a lot of seating.

Some drinks are better than others, but...

I finally made it to Boba Guys! While exploring 2nd and PCH, I stumbled across Boba Guys. I have heard of it but had no idea it was within this shopping plaza. So I of course needed to try it out. I went with my usual, Thai Tea with Boba. The gentleman was super nice, he even complimented me on my shades. While waiting I took a gander at their outdoor seating area and I really liked the aesthetic they had going on. My drink was ready within minutes and I took my first sip. I have to be honest, I was expecting a “yum” moment. But instead, it was more of an “eh” moment for me. Don't get me wrong, it was good but not great. The boba however was “yum”! It tasted super fresh and soft.

I appreciate the overall mission of Boba Guys. The owners Andrew and Bin want to “fundamentally change the way people view boba, tea, and perhaps food”. I think they are well...
