Sunright Tea Studio

Known for brewing high-quality loose tea leaves imported from Taiwan, this popular Southern California boba chain finally launched in L.A. proper in 2021 with a pair of outposts in Little Tokyo and Sawtelle. The artisanal tea and housemade boba translate to a remix on the Taiwanese bubble teas (think ceylon, jasmine, oolong) with bold American flavors—in particular we like the standout brûlée latte with oat milk and caffeine-free taro boba milk "tea." Sunright's extensive menu also comes with a wide array of traditional toppings, including red bean, fresh taro and lychee jelly.
