Yifang Taiwan Fruit Tea - Sawtelle

This bubble tea shop has 2 screens where you can order your tea. Otherwise you can scan a QR code on the outside window and order that way. The milk tea is amazing. You can customize the type of tea, ice and sugar levels, and add ins. They take a little time to make it, but the quality is insane. The boba is so soft and fresh, and they’re slightly smaller than ones you may get at other tea shops. Price is also reasonable compared to other places in LA ($6 for a tea with tapioca pearls).

Yi Fang is one of the better tea places out there if you want authentic, customizable Taiwanese style drinks. My go to teas are often the milk tea and fruit teas with less sweetness and less ice. The drinks here taste fresh. If a tea shop can’t adjust the sweetness, you know the drinks are probably premade hours beforehand and just sitting in the fridge. Love this place and will come here whenever I am in the area, or their other shops spread throughout So Cal because in my opinion they are one of the best. Cheers.

Stopped by Sawtelle for a quick drink and ordered the brown sugar matcha latte. It was rich in flavor and you could taste the quality. Boba was nice and soft but might have been a bit too soft for my liking. I also did not have to wait long for them to make the drink. Covid precautions: They have plexiglass separating customers from staff, hand sanitizer available and limit to a few people inside at a time. They have appropriately placed stickers on the floor for proper social distancing. Everyone must wear a mask. Can't wait to come back and try another drink!

Love this chain! Their fruit teas are some of the best. My favorite is their peach tea, which has real peaches in it. It’s good enough to not have any additional toppings. Their peach soda is also good (keep in mind it’s actually just generic soda with peaches in it). This specific store has a self order screen, which streamlines the ordering process a lot. The store itself is small, though.

I like the self ordering machine which is easy to use and to customize your drink. The classic fresh fruit is definitely recommended, and the brown sugar pearl latte is good too.

Trendy boba shop with peaceful atmosphere. Tea was great and boba balls are smaller so you get good flow through the straw. Lots of flavor options too.

Excellent variety of fruit teas, brewed teas and milk drinks. I got a passion fruit green tea with 100% sweetness and Aiyu jelly. Can taste the high quality passion fruit, not from artificial syrup. Aiyu jelly has a soft texture and a flavorful green tea taste. The signature fruit tea is good too, but the fruits take up a lot of the tea. A bit pricey, but definitely worth to check out! 10/10

Pricey, but tasty. The black sesame tea was so good! The intake on the tablet was efficient but requires giving out your phone number.

If you're visiting Sawtelle and want something a little more than your standard boba tea drinks, 7 Miles Tea Lab is a great spot to visit. It took over the old Yi Fang space and has a very modern, clean aesthetic with easy-to-use kiosks for ordering. 7 Miles serves a variety of unique drinks but my favorites are 7's Mango Pomelo, Watermelon Coconut, and Avocado on Mando. The menu is consistently changing to offer more variety. The shop is small but it has a little nice patio area with tables which is great for hanging out when the weather is nice.

Once more, came to 7 miles post dinner for a dessert aka boba! My friend got the lychee drink & I got the watermelon lychee/coconut boba with agar ! It was likely my fault for doing 30% sugar and forgetting that watermelons aren't super in season right now, so my drink was a little on the " not fully ripe " side. That said, I still drank it all and enjoyed it lol. I think it's the season to go 75% + sugar on watermelon drinks My friend loved her drink. Will always come back here! It would be cool if they did a seasonal drink, but I guess what would a chocolate-minty milk tea boba even taste like? I did notice that they now sell pancakes! That's pretty cool. Will try another time

Came here after some light Xmas shopping. It took over an old tea shop from before. The place itself hasn't changed dramatically but they did add some nice outdoor seating. You order yourself at the kiosk. I did not wait long for my order to come out. I tried the guava grape tea which was surprisingly delicious and I also could still taste the tea itself. Service was fast and delicious. Like all places on sawtelle there is no parking. This boba shop is also on the pricier side but you can taste the high quality teas here. Definitely recommend

To wash down how bland Motoring Coffee was, my friend and I stopped her, especially after hearing one of our friend group rant on about boba economics analysis he was watching and how 7 Miles was brought up. Seeing as it's not one of the franchises found in the 626 (at least not when we visited, we had to try). There's some seating inside and outside and you order through their tablet kiosk. While the sun setting, it's beautiful for golden hour pictures but you get blinded in the mean time as well. During our visit, we got a fruity drink, a milk drink, and some Hokkaido soft serve with their house mango sauce. The fruity drink was a sweet peach jasmine and it was a blended tea drink with real fruit in it. Adjusted with a lower sweetness and the flavor of the peach really shone through. We got the phoenix oolong milk tea which just was a standard oolong milk tea, not bad, but if you blind folded me I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Soft serve was delicious. More of a sweet milk flavor than regular soft serve and not icy in the slightest. Decent boba place (like the Omomo of not the Chino/OC area if I had to describe it as such) and cute little dude as a mascot.

This was a refreshing finish to the day since I ordered the extremely rewarding Ube Coconut Milk! The walk right over was not far at all from my last spot and I actually came here because I had seen people walk by with drinks from this place while I was eating dinner. It was the right decision because my drink, which had ube cream, milk, purple sticky rice, coconut milk, and boba was phenomenal! I do not think that I have ever had a bad dessert with ube in it, so it is usually my go-to item when I see it on the menu, so although I knew it would be amazing, I will try something else from the menu for my next visit because I have a feeling that the entire menu will give positive vibes! The service was so quick too since I received it within a few minutes of ordering!

Omg get the guava grape bliss! SO GOOD! Very fruity and loved the flavor. Service was quick and ambiance was good. Seating indoors and outdoors.

I've been coming to 7 Miles Tea Lab - Sawtelle for a while now and they're consistently good every single time. Drinks are always fresh, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. You can tell they actually care about quality, not just pumping out orders. The staff is super friendly and patient, even when it's busy. Orders come out fast and accurate, which I really appreciate. My go-to is their milk tea and fruit teas -- always on point. Clean store, chill vibes, and solid drinks. Definitely one of my favorite boba spots on Sawtelle. Highly recommend

This is my go to boba here in Sawtelle! I love that their drinks are all unique, and that they have my favorite topping - Sago. Like most boba places, their drinks are all customizable from ice levels to sweetness. They also serve soft serve and my favorite is ube! This place is so nice because there are tables and chairs outside where you can sit, hang out, and enjoy your boba/food. The workers are all so friendly too and overall this place has everything you need of a boba shop! The only thing this store does not have is outlets.. so don't go here if you are trying to find a study spot.

One evening, I was on the hunt for a new boba place to check out and stumbled upon this spot. My first thought was that it wasn't crowded, unlike the other restaurants nearby. I placed an online order for pick up and went for the watermelon with jasmine tea, but it tasted super artificial. You could definitely tell the watermelon wasn't real, so I only managed to drink half of it. The vibe was cute, making it a nice spot to hang out with friends over boba, plus there's plenty of seating. I might give this place another shot in the future and try something different.

This is definitely my favorite tea place in the area. There is a parking lot behind it that is free earlier in the day. The cashier is usually pretty nice and take orders faster than the iPad they have you normally use. The place is mostly a Togo place with some outdoor seating on metal uncomfortable chairs. My favorite is Ube coconut milk, no ice and 100 sugar. Watermelon coconut drink, is refreshing and good but don't get coconut jelly cuz don't taste Strawberry uji matcha very tasty Strawberry jasmine latte not bad but watermelon way better. I didn't like creamy Taro smoothie as much as ube coco avocado mango was very creamy and pretty tasty

7'S MANGO POMELO and AVOCADO ON MANGO are my 2 favorites and SO delicious. The avocado is very creamy and subtle if you're on the fence. Would highly recommend. You can order at the register or self order on one of the two ordering screens. Street parking can be tricky on the weekends but I always find parking within a couple minutes walk. There is also some parking spaces in the back. Sawtelle is a lovely neighborhood to walk around anyway. Enjoy!

This place is one of the best places I have ever been to! The staff were so nice and friendly and I loved the chill atmosphere! I would totally recommend coming here.

Loved everything we tried! Favorites were the Mystic Ube Matcha (so creamy and pretty!), the Black Sesame Under the Clouds (nutty and not too sweet), and the Ube Coconut Milk with purple sticky rice was such a fun texture combo. Also tried the Pineapple Sunshine ( this was very sweet with 0% extra sugar) , and Matcha Earl Grey Oat Latte and they were both delicious The staff was super friendly and the drinks came out fast. Will definitely be back

The drinks are always yummy. They have a self-serve kiosk. I got the Brulee Black and really enjoyed it.

10/10 Really good boba place! I ordered the strawberry drink and it was super refreshing not too sweet and full of flavor. The boba was fresh and perfectly chewy. The shop was clean and the staff were so friendly and quick with service. Overall a great spot for boba, I'll definitely be coming back to try more drinks and worth it to drive 30 minutes !

I was craving boba and didn't want the others down Sawtelle so thought I'd try 7 Miles. Order at a kiosks like other spots. I got the oolong milk tea with boba. Made a few modifications and the drink came out pretty on point. Good tea flavor but you still taste the milk. The boba was chewy and not the best I've had but also not the worst by far. $5.50 for the milk tea and $0.75 for the boba. Quick service and a good grab and go spot. They also have daily specials where a drink on the menu was on sale. Today was a $3 banana matcha which seems like a solid deal. Pretty good and would recommend

Almost every drink we've had from 7 Miles so far has been delicious and something I would get again. Not quite sure what to make of their new menu, though - they took away a lot of our favorites and the new additions are not necessarily something we would order. One of the things I love most about this boba shop is that they offer sago as a topping, which is hard to find, and the quality of their sago is always on point. If you're not familiar with sago, it's basically the clear little bubbles that you would find in a tapioca pudding. I love them more than boba. My favorite drink to order if it's early in the afternoon is one of their tea lab originals - lately it's been the jasmine with sago and cloud top. I get it with no sugar because the sago and cloud top provide enough sweetness for me, though my daughter always complains that it's bitter. I just tried the osmanthus oolong the other day, and that is a great addition to the menu with nice floral overtones, though it did taste a little bitter. That is the one criticism I have of 7 Miles - the quality of the tea brewing is inconsistent. Sometimes it's perfect, and sometimes it tastes like it has been steeping for too long. The rest of my family loves the fruit teas, and they are delicious. The mango passion fruit tea and the 7's mango pomelo are favorites. I also recommend the sour strawberry jasmine, the watermelon jasmine, and sweet white peach jasmine. They've removed the only drink I didn't like from the new menu - it had lychee and coconut and was just overwhelmingly sweet. Sad that they also removed the watermelon coconut drink, which was very refreshing. The watermelon jasmine is not a good replacement for me because of the caffeine. Not sure if they will continue to do soft serve with the Indigo Cow that just opened down the street, but their soft serve was delicious and we loved the toppings. They can get quite busy at times, so I typically order in advance on Toast. Honestly, there are just two things that would improve the boba experience for me here: (1) improve the consistency of the tea brewing; and (2) offer more caffeine-free options that are not just fruit smoothies or filled with sugar. Would really love an herbal tea that tastes more like tea and not like rooibos or hibiscus. If they could do that, I would be here all the time.

It has everything you need from a boba tea cafe for hanging out with friends. They have self-order kiosks and the register is also open for in-person ordering, either method is super fast. The menu is very wide. Inside there isn't seating but it's not important as the outdoor patio seating is very nice and perfect for enjoying the weather and people watching on Sawtelle blvd. Also, bonus points for having a bathroom! I wouldn't come here for studying but more for hanging out since the tables are more wide to accommodate friend groups sitting for long times. For a slow weekend afternoon, we didn't have to wait for a table. The drinks are so tasty! The flavors and sweetness are balanced and very refreshing. The boba toppings were perfectly chewy abd sweet and the sago was very good too. This place is accessible through street parking but it's close to some residential neighborhoods so it's easy. On a weekend, the business plaza next door isn't busy so it's easy to get street parking there too.

I got the banana matcha, jasmine milk tea with orea cream, and the strawberry oreo. It was sooo good! I am from a different state and this was easily one of my favorites in LA. Would def come back if I came back to LA!

The Baseline: For bubble tea cafes the drinks must have the proper temperature for the drink, suitably firm tapioca pearls, and the drink must be quality. Food: The boba Thai iced tea Tornado drink was pretty good and enjoyable. The presentation of the drink was great and the Thai iced tea tasted as expected. The tapioca boba pearls had a good texture and chew to them. It is a solid boba drink. Service: Order from a kiosk then pick up your drink. Little human interaction involved. The kiosk allowed for customizations so it did the job. Ambiance: Inside the cafe was an order area with a sit and wait for your order bench. The outside patio had good seating and is nice for Sawtelle type of fast order cafe offerings.

I came on an early Friday afternoon and there was zero wait. Easy to order at the kiosk, but there was also a cashier if that was preferred. Drink came out quickly, so very speedy overall! I didn't stay around to hang out, but it looked like they had some nice tables to sit and relax at outside. Not much seating inside. The drink was pretty good! I got the watermelon jasmine. I happen to not like boba (just don't like chewing and drinking at the same time). I thought the watermelon jasmine was one of the drinks without anything solid, but I was mistaken. Could have a clearer description on the menu so that I could have requested it without the chewy bits.

Really good! I ordered the Marble Matcha brûlée ($6.50) and their soft serve with strawberry and oreo crumbs. I enjoyed the soft serve more, it was sweet, really good texture, and the strawberry was super fresh and flavorful. They use some good quality strawberries. The matcha brûlée was good too but I got full from the soft serve. There is no cashier but there's two touch screen displays where you order your drinks. It's weird that it asks for tips even though the customers didn't get exceptional service but rather we did the service ourselves.

I love this place. This and sunright. I think this place is most comparable to omomo with their creamy/smoothie options. My go to drink is the blended avocado w mango bits $7.25 and I love that it includes my fave topping - crystal boba lol. Also like how they do a flavor of the day that we can sample in a smaller cup for $3. This time, on a Saturday, they had passion fruit kumquat and it was sooooo flavorful. Would also get that again. They have self service touch screens as well as a person working the register occasionally. Service is pretty fast!

Brought a book and tried their matcha brûlée - sweet and creamy! Parking can be tricky but there's a handful of parking spots behind the building! They had a nice shaded area outside to sit and read.

I visited the Artesia location of 7 Miles Tea Lab last year, but ended up not getting anything since their menu felt like they focused more on creative and trendy drinks rather than the classic milk teas that I prefer. Due to convenience this time (since I ate lunch right next door), I decided I could risk giving them a try. This particular location has two kiosks for easy ordering. Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sugar, 50% Ice w/ Boba ($6.75) - Wow, 7 Miles brews their tea hard. Really overbrewed, so much so that all the subtle tea notes are gone and instead the drink just becomes a full fledged bitter and astringent grassiness. It feels like the first time I brewed a gyokuro, with water way too hot, and for way too long. While the drink is creamy enough with their house milk, and the sweetness level is pleasing at half, neither addition are enough to help dampen the overbrewed tea elements. Don't get me wrong - I prefer this quality vs other places that serve drinks that are completely missing the flavor of the tea, but this place takes it to the opposite extreme a bit too much. Unfortunately the boba is also less than perfect. The sphere are small and smooth and somewhat too firm. The pleasant chew is reduced due to this firmness. I feel like they need just a little more boil/steam time. The pearls would still be considered good in most US metros, but I'm not sure it's entirely competitive in LA. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 4/5 My initial impressions from the prior year seem to be true. While I can't vouch for them, I'm guessing the more modern and trendy drinks are better at 7 Miles. Not that my drink was bad by any means! Bathrooms - Single unisex

Love at first sip. After this in a Japanese restaurant we're craving for a dessert/tea place so we decide to try this tea shop. Service/ordering is a breeze through their tablet kiosk. You can customize both sugar level & toppings. We ordered Hokkaido ice cream with lychee coconut and red bean toppings next level yummy creamy makes my taste buds burst with joy. The other one is the Ube coconut milk non caffeinated nice combo. They offer a few seating area in front of store for customers to enjoy their treats. Next time I will try other fruity flavors and blended drinks. Don't miss this place when you're in this area.

Ordering is easy and with convenient kiosks as well as a worker to answer any questions. The menu offers a good variety of fruity, tea, and sweet drinks. There are really unique flavors as well as the basics so that there is something for everyone. Despite there being a lot of people inside, the boba came out quickly (around 5 minutes). The drinks themselves were great full of flavor and not too sweet and the boba was well made. And there is plenty of outdoor patio sitting to enjoy the boba. Really great option for boba!

A very average boba place. I would call it subpar, but it's honestly your preference. I found it to be too sweet and no real depth in flavor. I think it can pass as a boba spot though. I saw a lot of different things so I think the variety is good.

Great store with great, friendly staff. The drinks are great but they ran out of ice cream (from the poster they have) and it's only 1pm. The place cute, bright and inviting with youth vibe. They do have patio seating area.

Delicioso I got the Earl gray milk tea sigh jasmine jelly end it was surprisingly really good and still tasted like Asian milk tea instead of the English earl gray milk tea. Would get again. Door dash delivery was ~$10

Waited there for 30 minutes for my order and then had to remind them that I was still waiting on my order. Staff just looked at me blankly

I went on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm and they were out of boba. I opted for their Ube matcha (which I think was new and/or seasonal) which was okay. Couldn't taste anything but milk about 1/3 in, which was disappointing. I'll still give them another chance if I'm in the area and try something else.

This spot serves up delicious soft-serve ice cream (currently featuring Hokkaido milk and ube) alongside refreshing bubble teas. If you're a fruit lover, the mango passion fruit bubble tea is a must-try, while their crème brûlée creations are perfect for something indulgent. The variety of add-ons--lychee, passion fruit, strawberry, mango sauce, pomelo, boba, lychee jelly, red beans, aloe vera, and purple rice--ensures there's something for everyone, making it a great choice for groups. The friendly staff enhances the experience, offering samples to help you find your perfect flavor. Conveniently located on the lively Sawtelle strip, it's an ideal quaint dessert stop after dinner at one of the nearby Japanese restaurants. Seating is limited, with about five tables outside and a few benches indoors, so be prepared to stand or take your treat to go during busy times.

Boba shop with range of fruity and heavier drink options. You can order via the kiosk and receive a text when your order is ready. We ordered an Oreo matcha brûlée customized to 50% sugar and less ice as well as a hot jasmine tea with boba. Both drinks were good quality though I would've preferred the matcha to be a bit thicker. There is some benches inside to sit but most people seemed to opt for to-go. They do have a loyalty program.

Yum! Got boba here with a friend after dinner. Inside were self service kiosks and the counter, but not much else. Staff seemed busy so we used the self service kiosks. It was a decent price for the boba and staff got it out to us pretty quickly. We sat on the patio and yapped for a couple hours. Very relaxing spot to catch up at!

Refreshing and fun flavors. There's two self order kiosks where you can customize the drinks sweetness & ice levels. There's limited seating inside and tables and seating outside the shop. Overall has a modern and clean interior and the staff is friendly and quick! As for parking you can park in the neighborhood or there's street meter parking.

This is my second time visiting this location. Only two people ahead of me and bunch of togo orders. Staff were definitely overwhelmed. My drink came out decent but could have been better.

Really love the drinks here! They're super unique and I've tried to order a different one every time I visit. I've had the Mango Pomelo, the Oreo Cookie Milk Tea, the Classic Dirty Boba Milk Tea, and others. My absolute favorite is the Sour Strawberry and I've gotten it multiple times. It's really delicious and refreshing. There's usually a little bit of a wait for drinks, but it's not too long. Parking is on the street in the Sawtelle area.

|[ w o u l d d r i v e 7 m i l e s f o r ]| 4.5 stars rounded down due to parking sitch, it's refreshing to have a boba shop w decent quality with fair prices esp on sawtelle and I'm loving it so far!! My go to is the phoenix oolong MT w boba no sugar and free oat milk upgrade (!!). Tea flavor is not bad and size is good, not a smaller cup that claims to be "regular" size iykwim. Also tried the avocado mango smoothie and this was heavenly-- reminds of happy lemon which I am ecstatic about since there isn't one nearby when I'm craving. Small interior w some seating outside, more grab and go style. |[ c u s o o n ]| So far this place fills my boba needs when I'm in west la and I hope they keep up with the quality and taste. My only critiques? Boba sometimes firmer than I'd expect (though they say this is normal for them and even tried remaking it). Parking is a pain, there WAS a free lot at back that now has valet people -_-. But still great. Don't forget to collect points. C:

The interior is modern and clean, with self order kiosks. You can also order from the cashier, and they're quick and professional! I like that they have a lot of drinks that you wouldn't find at other boba spots. I ended up trying the guava grape one, and it was quite good!

7 MILES TEA LAB is located on a busy section of Sawtelle. There was no line before we walked in but due to our trying to figure out how and what to order, two parties lined up behind us by the time we gave our order. The guy who took our order was super kind: he didn't rush us and helped the kids narrow their choices down. He also pointed out to the ones who walked in that they have the option to order from two different self-order kiosks against the wall. THAI TEA tasted great. Blended STRAWBERRY N' CREAM was even better. UBE COCONUT MILK was awesome!!!!! Boba is extra for some drinks. There are some seats if you want to enjoy your drinks sitting down if you like. But I highly suggest taking your drinks and walk up and down Sawtelle.

I love the variety of the different drink options! It's also very clean and the drinks came out pretty fast. We got the oolong milk tea and smashed lime earl grey which were both delicious. I wish there was the option to get oat milk with London fog. I'll have to come back to try the other drinks.

Everytime I'm eating in sawtelle, I have been coming to this spot to get drinks afterwards. I always order the mango passionfruit tea. The order is usually ready between 10-20 minutes depending in how busy it is. The mango passionfruit tea has strong mango and passionfruit taste but not much of the tea taste. I could still taste the tea but I think it's overshadowed based on the sweetness level I order. I also like the little crunchy black seeds in the drink for some chew. Overall, decent drink spot that's a different from the rest of the boba spots in sawtelle. The one thing I do like is if the order isn't to your taste, you could get a new one made without charge. A little side bonus is its location on the heart of sawtelle, where I can enjoy my drink while people watching.

came here on a Saturday night! There was no line, you can order through tablets on the side or with a cashier. I ordered the dirty boba with 50% sweetness! It was the perfect sweetness for me as dirty boba tends to be on the sweeter side. Service was so fast, the boba was fresh and the tea had a good, strong flavor. There is limited indoor seating; however, a great location on sawtelle with a lot of other places to grab food too! (:

I went to 7 Miles again last Saturday around 3ish, and I've got to say the drinks are getting even better! The tea tasted so good perfectly balanced with just the right amount of flavor, not too strong and not too light. And the boba... OMG, it was amazing! Not raw, not overcooked just that perfect chewy texture that makes you want more. It was pretty busy, but the wait time was still really fast, which I appreciated. I also noticed how well the employees were working together. There were two in particular one with glasses and a girl and they had such great synergy. I should've asked for their names! The only thing I'd suggest is maybe some touch-ups on the paint and woodwork inside. The walls and wood could use a little repair it doesn't quite match the quality of other shops. But overall, the experience was fantastic

7 Miles Sawtelle hits my threshold for good boba. Fast service and the ambiance of LA vibes you cannot go wrong. The drink I got was the ube coconut milk tea and it had a lot of flavor with a silky texture which I like, overall a really good drink and place to hangout!

the matcha is honestly kind of unpleasant i probably wouldn't recommend that but the other drinks here are pretty good! they have a daily special drink that's three dollars for a tiny mini little cup. definitely fun to try new things! i got the cookie milk tea and it was tasty! that definitely should be at 50-70% sugar if you don't like things too sweet

THE BOBA. All I can say, any tea was a hit but that boba is always chewy and never fails. Also helpful that there are multiple order methods, online, on tablet and with a person. I love getting the ube boba but replace the sticky rice with full serving of boba instead because the boba is so fun and chewy. They have a bunch of other hot takes on flavors so you can't get bored as well as the classics. Best stop by after ramen in Sawtelle and walk around the live street on the weekend. Seating inside is limited to benches, so would only wait there for order. Outdoor seating has 4 or so tables, still kind of lit at night but outdoor is best around lunch.

Whenever my sister and I come to eat around here, we'll always stop by 7 miles tea! It's become our favorite boba spot. It's located in Sawtelle and so parking can be a bit tough to find but we never mind having to walk a bit further. They have two kiosks that you can order from or the register. The workers aren't the friendliest but service is fast. I've tried the Mango passionfruit, sour strawberry jasmine, and the new dragonfruit lychee. All three drinks are super refreshing with a hint of sour. They have an outdoor area where you can sit and chill.
