Crema's Take
“Odd One Out Tea nails the fundamentals of milk tea with surprising depth and flavor—this isn't the watered-down boba stand you'd expect on the Promenade. They let you customize sweetness by percentage and use fresh matcha and quality milk options, so whether you're grabbing a matcha or their signature milk teas, you're getting something thoughtfully made rather than assembly-line. If you're shopping nearby and want a genuinely good tea drink without pretension, it's worth the stop.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating.

A convenient little boba stand in the middle of the promenade, OOO makes really flavorful milk teas that have a great taste and depth. The location in Sawtelle is just as good as well. You can't go wrong with any of their drinks. I've had their eispanner, buckwheat milk tea,…
Nice little tea and gelato stop in case you are craving for sweets in between a shopping spree. They do have a lot of milk-tea specialties including boba, and they do offer also a short assortment of ice creams.
It’s a really nice place to stop and grab some boba tea while shopping on 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica. My daughters loved the boba, though they commented that it wasn’t as sweet as they usually got it elsewhere. I probably would prefer it that way.
Cute little spot to enjoy some gelato or bubble tea. Prices are reasonable and service is quick and friendly. Personally disliked the bitterness of the blue matcha but noticed they use fresh matcha and use ACTUAL spirulina. Highly recommend!
