About Bubble U

Founded in 2016 in the heart of Downtown LA's Fashion District, Bubble U was built on one idea: real ingredients, no shortcuts. We cook our own black sugar from scratch. We source our matcha from Uji, Japan. We use Straus organic milk. Every cup is made fresh, every day.

In 2026, Bubble U was named #2 Best Boba in Los Angeles β€” a recognition of what we've always believed: quality speaks for itself.

Come find us at 819 Santee St #111. Dogs welcome. Outdoor seating available.

Hands down the best boba I've ever had! The drinks were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. If you're a boba lover, this place is definitely worth a visit. The only downside was the parking situation, but that's to be expected in a busy downtown area. Once you get there, the drinks make it completely worth the effort. Highly recommend!

Honestly most delicious boba and drinks we’ve had in a long time! We found it by accident, but grateful we did. Prices are affordable, menu options are detailed, and the shop has a calm yet beautiful vibe. There is self-service available for those with anxiety. We would give 6 stars if we could! There is paid parking lots, and limited street parking only (that I saw).

Top tier boba spot. Whatever you get here from Thai tea to sea salt coffee, it is absolutely delicious. On top of that the store owner is very kind and draws pretty illustrations on top of the boba tea. Today we got a LABUBU.

Update 2/8/24: Tried the Honey Green milk tea (5.25) this time with full honey and quarter ice and it was very good! It tastes much better than when they use regular sweetner in the milk tea. There is more of a tea taste but still a good amount of the sweetness from the honey. Very good! Would recommend! They also had a cute cup design for the dragon lunar new year. Got the sea salt green tea, jasmine milk tea, and brown sugar boba. They have online ordering or you can order in store on their kiosk. They don't accept orders at the counter or register. The store is very quiet and cute in Chinatown for siting with friends or doing some work. Drinks were ready quite fast and tasted pretty good. The tea is authetic tasting and sea foam was great. The sea foam drinks come with a cute design for free as well! Very nice! Most of the drink sizes are 32 oz and the cup is made of a nice quality and designed nice. It isn't like other boba places these days who are buying cheaper cups are feel super flimsy. This place overall has great drink options that are worth its price. Not mindblowing, but affordable drinks- much cheaper than some other places nowadays. This is what I prefer when I get

Awful drink and super expensive. Took the train here so didn’t have to worry about parking but if we paid for parking to come here, I would have been mad! You have to order using their monitor screen at the front (hate that, especially when someone is there at the counter already). All the drink options did not really stand out to me but it was a warm day so we wanted to get something refreshing. Chose the strawberry drink with crystal boba and it honestly was not very good. The boba was shaped weird but tasted ok. The drink itself was not a good mix and had an odd taste. It was $9 (I did choose a lactose friendly milk)!!!! Definitely not worth the price. The decorations in front were cute and there is sufficient seating inside. But I would not come back here nor recommend it.
