Tasty boba + a great outdoor patio make Boba 7 a perfect place to sit back and relax in Downtown LA.
HelenMarch 31, 2014Speakeasy boba, who knew there was such a thing? Tucked behind a Thai restaurant, there's also an outdoor patio, though tea > ambience here.
Kiesha CanoriOctober 25, 2012Its a great place for hanged out, Had Heineken green tea, and it was nice, the service was fantastic, highly recommend this place!
Everything is super delish!! But my favs are the bobatella (I think that's what it's called- the drink with Nutella!!) and the bobafette
Try the Green Tea Heineken Boba! Elton will treat you well. Make sure to tip one of the dueling tip jars (I like the one on the right.)
If you ask nicely and you're a respectful spectator, I'll show you some magic tricks.
alexander siuJanuary 3, 2013Great speakeasy spot behind Soi 7 to hang out over really good boba tea!- HelenMarch 31, 2014The Linsanitea (honey lemon green tea) is refreshing on a warm day in LA. Sweetness can easily be adjusted.
Jessie HienkhanhDecember 21, 2012A MUST-COME teashop. The owner is super friendly and funny. i will defintely mayor this place if I live in LA!!!!
Vivian ChenMay 10, 2013Try the popping boba! It's a delightful burst of flavor. A hidden gem behind Soi7, but parking is somewhat difficult with lots of one way streets.
Iris JongFebruary 27, 2013Show your TAP card, receive free boba and free upgrade to a large size beverage.
Patricia EvelineAugust 6, 2014They have the best boba, specially the rose milk tea with honey boba. ❤️
Frankie 🤖 BurtonMarch 30, 2013A seriously hidden gem! Hidden behind the Soi 7 Salon de The. They were running late today so I could not try them! Don't arrive so early.. :(
MarcApril 8, 2013If you only have one drink here, then you must try the green tea Heineken. It's amazingly good.
Justin FrederickNovember 30, 2014Located in the back of a Asian restaurant in downtown LA. Smells like dog poo in there. Full of locals and the niché crowd.
Get the Green tea Heineken or panda style! Also, ask to see a magic trick!
Stan MalkovFebruary 3, 2014We tried tea Boba, the first one on the menu. Taste good, feel good. Now I wanna eat!!!))
Boba 7 aka. @LabobatoryMarch 8, 201350¢ off for checking in and sharing it to facebook or twitter??? what a steal!!
626 Night MarketJune 26, 2013On 6/26/13, get any drink on the alcoholic boba menu for $6.26. #626Day
- Ask the servers questions, so you can make a more informed decision!
Pocket SunMay 4, 2015Menu looks fun but nothing special... I tried the taro smoothie, wasn't bad but wasn't impressive either. Maybe the alcoholic ones are better.
