About This Spot
Stepping into The Boba Stop on California Boulevard feels like slipping into a cherished neighborhood nook where familiar comfort blends effortlessly with a touch of playful delight.

Whether you’re swinging by on your way home or carving out a moment from a busy day, the atmosphere offers a balance of warmth and lively community energy.
This is a place where the rich, creamy essence of bubble tea takes center stage, inviting you to savor bright mango and taro temptations or try a smooth almond milk tea—each sip marked by the satisfying pop of boba pearls beneath. The menu extends a little further, offering light, sweet escapes in the form of carefully made dessert crepes.

Here, the joy is in discovering your own favorites among the colorful, inviting options. Whether it’s the spirited sweetness of a passion fruit snow bubble or the cozy richness of coffee milk boba, the offerings reflect a thoughtful balance of familiar comforts and small surprises. With a steady stream of regulars who keep coming back for the blend of taste, convenience, and inviting atmosphere, The Boba Stop feels less like just a bubble tea spot and more like a trusted local pause, a tiny celebration of simple pleasures nestled in the heart of San Luis Obispo.

Tasty boba pearl drinks. I love the Taro, Thai tea, and Chocolate in that order of yum! Yesterday on a whim I decided to buy a crepe. The Strawberry and whip cream. I made the correct call. It was fantastic! Almost like a strawberry and cream taco as it was served folded in a folded plate that was easy to tear away as I ate.

Been coming here for years for the strawberry snow bubble (wife) and a matcha milk tea (me). 5% of the time the matcha has tasted a little stale but it may have been because I added boba pearls and wasn't used to the flavor. 9 out of 10 times it's exactly what I expect; fast, tasty, and a fair priced.

POPCORN CHICKEN...GET IN MY BELLY. Milk tea and popcorn chicken literally reminds me of my high school days in Los Angeles. This is the perfect combination. Something savory washed down with something sweet. This place is great! Fast lines, great prices, good variety of options, and it's been very consistent. Service is also friendly and welcoming. It's next to a new Pho joint which makes coming here more convenient. I can get my Asian fix in one area. Easy parking as well.

Lightning fast without compromising quality. Thai ice tea order was finished within 30 seconds of placing the order. Very helpful 3d model display shows the size of their snacks, very appetizing.

The employee with the glasses was nice when I was there. Don't know what those other reviews are talking about. Three boba was good, I enjoyed it. Didn't try the crepes
