The social calendar
Meetups & clubs that run on boba
Southern California treats boba shops as third places. Clubs meet in them, crawls route through them, and fandoms take them over for a night. Everything below is a real group with a real public page; details come from each organizer's own listing, so check their page before you go.
Sourced
We list only what an organizer publishes, and we link straight to them. Days and venues change, so the organizer's page is always the truth. A “Next” date, when shown, is computed from the organizer's stated schedule, not asserted by us. Nothing here is sponsored.

Run a club? Put your boba stop on the map.
Real jogging clubs in the 626 end their runs at coffee and beer. As far as we can find, no SoCal run club has a published boba-shop home yet. If yours does, or you're a shop that wants to host one, we'll list it with a link to your page. Listing is free, and we only publish what your own page says.

FAQ
How do we know these are real?
Every listing links to the organizer's own public page: Meetup, Instagram, Partiful, or an official site. We publish nothing we can't link.
Are the days and times current?
Schedules change without telling us, so we point you at the organizer's page instead of asserting times ourselves. When we show a cadence or a “Next” date, it's computed from what their page stated at our last check.
Can I add one to my calendar?
Where an organizer publishes a fixed schedule or a dated event, we generate an .ics file you can import. Times follow the organizer, so confirm on their page.
Meeting someone from an app instead?
Different mission, same drinks. Start with the First Meet guide on our homepage, then pick a first-meet room.
