Lucky for SLO residents and tourists, there are many places that sell boba! Some of them are dedicated tea shops while others are donut shops or restaurants. Check out these boba places that I've visited below. 

(Pictured above a photo I took while enjoying a boba at MilkT Society in Pismo Beach. Scroll down to read more details about this boba shop.)

Sweetie Cup Tea House

Located in downtown SLO on Churro Street is a true tea house with wifi and the works that you would expect at a tea house. They have ice cream, mochi and wontons!


This place is boba done right! It's high quality and our top choice for boba. Address: 1118 Chorro St., San Luis Obispo, CA, 93401

Fay's Fusion

Located right by the Pismo Beach pier, if you're already at the beach here, you might as well swing by Fay's Fusion for some excellent boba and delicious boba essential appetizers that you would find in the Bay Area or San Diego area.



Get their popcorn chicken (with the basil leaves) or a lunch combo. You'll get your fix and the beach. Fay's Fusion Address: 220 Hinds Ave, Pismo Beach, CA 93449

MilkT Society

Located in Pismo Beach, about a couple blocks from the water is MilkT Society (read my full review post about Milk T Society in Pismo Beach). This is one of three boba shops in Pismo Beach of San Luis Obispo County. They are newer than Fay's Fusion and are operated by a fresh crew. They have the quintessential milk tea flavors and their specialties. I came on their opening day! Since they are so close to the Pismo Beach Pier, I typically make an effort to also stroll on the pier before or after my visit at Milk T Society in Pismo Beach. See a video reel of my Pismo Beach Pier stroll.

MilkT Society Address: Hinds Ave & HWY1, Pismo Beach, CA 93449

Tiger Milk Tea

There's a Tiger Milk Tea boba shop located in Grover Beach! They just opened in the fall of 2023 and replaced a different boba shop before. However, they've redone their counter inside and their service was very quick! There is no indoor seating but there are two picnic tables right in their patio for you to enjoy your drinks. I'm originally from San Diego where I've had boba since I was in middle school and this boba shop is legit! It's the real deal and they are pretty authentic to what I'm used to, as far as quality, efficiency and taste!

Tiger Milk Tea Address: 1800 E Grand Ave, Grover Beach, CA 93433

PCH Shave Ice & Boba

This boba shop also serves amazing Hawaiian Shave Ice and boba in Pismo Beach on Oak Park Blvd! It's top quality and creative! There is a lot of places to sit inside with games and cards that you can borrow to play. Read my full review about PCH Shave Ice & Boba. Even though they are not walking distance to the beach, even though they are located within the Pismo Beach City zone, I really like their location as it's in the same shopping center as Ross, CVS, other restaurants and other stores so it would be very convenient for me to stop in here while running errands.

PCH Shave Ice & Boba Address: 893 N Oak Park Blvd, Pismo Beach, CA 93449

Golden Donut

Located in Pismo Beach near the highway 101 is a donut shop that also sells boba drinks! This donut shop has been around for awhile but now that PCH Shave Ice & Boba has opened in the same shopping center, there's tough competition.

This is a local family owned donut shop so you'll definitely recognize the mom and pop feel. Address: 863 N Oak Park Blvd, Pismo Beach, CA 93449

Brew-It Coffee & Tea

In Atascadero, near the Charles Paddock Zoo, is a coffee and tea shack that also serves boba drinks! The boba (tapioca pearls) are round brown jelly-like things that are on the bottom of a tea drink and you suck it up with a large straw! It is fun to drink.

They don't have a sit down area so you'll need to drive thru it! They have standard favorites like Thai tea boba, Taro tea boba and more. Address: 6570 Morro Rd, Atascadero, CA 93422

Sequel Cold Brew Tea

They have take a spot at the Downtown San Luis Obispo Farmers' Market on Thursday evenings on the street! I tried them for the first time when they had their pop-up at Bings Bao Buns at the SLO Public Market and I love their interesting concoctions.

The team at Sequel Cold Brew Tea is very friendly too. Address: At Downtown SLO Farmers Markets, Pop-Ups and Benny's Kitchen. See a video clip of one of my outings at the Downtown SLO Farmers Market by clicking on this page link.
