Best Boba in San Gabriel, California

Where is the best boba place in the San Gabriel Valley?

There are over 50 boba shops located in the San Gabriel Valley and its surrounding areas

Located in Los Angeles County, San Gabriel is home to a variety of different boba shops. Some are chains, but many are independent. With so many shops it can be overwhelming to find a tasty boba shop that has enough options to satisfy you and everyone in your group. If you don't know what boba is, it's a tasty sweet drink that derives from Asia. In Los Angeles, we call it boba, but other places around the world may call it bubble tea. 

I didn't grow up in Los Angeles, but I also grew up in an area full of boba shops. As a result, I've tried many different boba places. I've also seen boba shops open and close. It's always a bummer to see your favorite boba shop close. However, it makes sense because competition is inevitable in an area where there's a boba shop on every block. 

I have a few favorite boba locations, but this one tops my list. Take a moment and guess which boba shop I'm about to talk about. If you guessed Wushiland Boba, you are correct!! Ding, ding ding!! 

The best place to get boba is Wushiland Boba and here's why

Cold Green Tea Milk Tea from Wushiland Boba

 

The main reason why Wushiland Boba tops my list is the quality of the tea they use for their drinks.  So far, I've tried their Earl Grey Milk Tea, their Green Tea Milk Tea, their Four Seasons Tea, and their Jasmine Green Tea. All four teas have potent and strong tea flavors. In fact, I left my drink in the fridge many times to drink later, and even after the ice had melted, the drink still tasted good while being watered down. 

Another reason to love Wushiland boba is because of consistency. I've been to two Wushiland locations and both have tasted similar in taste. I would say that one location is just slightly more sweet than the other location. After multiple visits, I still have yet to be disappointed by them. 

Also, Wushiland's menu has a decent amount of drink options to choose from. I prefer that because some boba places have too many choices that it becomes overwhelming. The options are brewed tea, milk tea, macchiato, fresh milk tea, and special flavor tea. 

Next, the price is right. Unlike some other shops that are overhyped, I think Wushiland has a good price for their drinks. I've seen boba drinks that cost 8 dollars and up (no thanks, I'm broke)! 

Lastly, Wushiland has more than one location. Although it might not be everywhere, it has more than one location in the 626 area. 

Are you from the 626? Do you agree that Wushiland is the best boba in the 626?
