    I was rolling down Sherman Way and thought, "hmmm I feel like a milk tea and boba!" So I pulled over to the side and hopped on Yelp. The closest one in my area was 4 mins away called a tea thing. I rolled up and parking was pretty bad. One section looks like it's one way so you can't even go down that section for parking if you are on the opposite of the entrance side. I also almost saw a car ram into another one for a park. They be fighting for parks over there lol. Anyway, I snagged a park and headed inside. Once inside, the place was very clean, with nice music playing and it was pretty busy with the two workers preparing drinks to get the rush out before me, so it took them a second to help me. It was all good because I was getting familiar with the menu. After they finished about 4 orders, they called me over to take my order. I had several questions and asked for suggestions. She was very helpful and I wanted to try something different so I went with a mango milk tea with 75% sugar lmao. It was probably the worst decision I could have made. I hated it and would never get it again anywhere, so it's not their fault. Would I go back again? Absolutely! I love their cups and the presentation. I'm pretty positive the drinks I'm familiar with are solid so I''ll stick to what I know, which is regular milk teas, taro and fruit teas. I also want to try their tornado drinks which are blended. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

    Sooo good Came back and tried their popcorn latte and it's strong and flavorful. Definitely recommend you try it if you like texture in your drinks. The person who took my order was very sweet and said this is a very popular drink in Korea & that the corn is not overwhelming in the drink & she was 100% right! 10/10 recommend coming here if you like strong coffee with unique flavors

    Came in around 7PM on a Friday and it was super busy, but luckily there was still plenty of seating inside and parking available. I ordered the Oat Cream Oolong Fresh Milk Tea (32oz, 0% sweet) and it was SO good. The drink was creamy without being too heavy, and the topping paired really well with it. Also, the size for the price was pretty reasonable at $8. This will definitely be my go-to order, but I'm excited to come back and try more of their drinks!

    Drinks were good but I've had better in the area. Prices are a little high but comparable. No herbal options. Service is efficient and friendly. Ambience has dim lighting and a nice hang out vibe.

    Loved this little place , matcha was good definitely going back. Service was good as well

    Good

    Tried this new spot today. I felt like I had been here before, but I can't recall. Not sure if that's a good thing or if all boba places just look the same to me now. I go to so many, and only a few stand out as unique; most tend to have the same layout, tables everywhere, the same colored walls, a bathroom in the corner, and their menu close to the register. This is pretty much the same; nothing inside caught my attention as unique or wowed me in any way. The staff member was bland, kind of like she was over her day, not excited to say hello or sell me some tea. Just "Can I take your order?" She did help me choose my drink and helped me with the choices, but I would say it was a bland interaction. Boba was good; I got the tropical tea, which was good, and got another tea for my lady. I did not try it, but she said it was good. Teas were pretty good, standard but nothing special like I said; the place felt like your average boba spot, nothing I would go out of my way for, especially when I live in Noho and I have better options over there. Unfortunately, if I do come back to the Reseda area, I prefer Bon Bon Tea House. So I may not return here for a while unless my girl wants her drink; she claims they made her brown sugar tea really well.

    Very good boba! I did ask for 100% sweetness and it was VERY sweet, I recommend 50% for a normal sweetness amount. Reasonably priced, and many places to sit! Service was great, the employees were all so nice.

    Ordered on DoorDash. The drinks came without a seal on the lids. This is not a healthy and clean practice. I called back the place to suggest that in the future, they may want to put a tape on the lids for safety on deliveries, the girl put me on hold and then hang up after 5 minutes. Never got a chance to tell them. Just saying!

    Great flavors. The boba texture wasn't my favorite, but the drink itself was delicious and refreshing. Solid 4/5 for me.

    Creme Brulee Milk Tea & GREEN Thai Tea
    Stephanie P.

    a tea thing is one of my favorite boba spots in the valley so this is a long overdue review! parking: can be a little difficult sometimes. same plaza as the dennys. what's weird is that there's a section with double parking. on weekend nights parking can be a little tough, but spots will clear up with patience inside: lots of seating, very clean. i like the minimal aesthetic they got going on. there is tables, outlets, & wifi if you ever want a boba spot to work or spend some time hanging out at. drinks: my ultimate favorite right now is their green thai tea! it's floral & just the right amount of sweetness. what i like about a tea thing is that their drinks are consistent, their workers do a great job with the drinks even during a rush!

    Just happened to be here. Saw this quaint little place. Great vibes so i decided to try it. I did a strawberry milk and is was fantastic. Boba is fresh milk was great. Service was super quick I would recommend this place for you guys to try

    Added A Tea Thing to my bookmarks after encountering limited options for milk teas in the SFV area (versus SGV)... and finally gave it a try! Compared to most quick service cafes and tea places that I've been to, service was not the most welcoming. Sometimes, there may be 3-4 staff working but all in the kitchen. (Perhaps they could invest in a camera or a sensor?) A mixed drink I've never seen was the Thai Green tea - despite how basic it is - and I have to admit I could conceptualize the flavor but didn't quite enjoy it. Perhaps it was the 25% sugar adjustment, but this is generally enough for my taste buds, and it did feel bland. I will admit their small to large size ratio is quite drastic... but without a middle option.. gotta get that bang for he buck, but with no middle option feels a bit pressuring. Drink aside, parking was easy to find here, albeit the location itself didn't feel the most safe. There was a good trickle of customers on a late Friday afternoon, and the atmosphere was otherwise light. Staff were often socializing and at times not present at the front but rather in the kitchen.

    A pretty solid boba spot in the valley :) AMBIENCE: (9/10) Chill, clean, and cozy with lots of seating if you want to hang out. SERVICE: (10/10) Super friendly and thoughtful. They even drew cute ghost doodles on my cup for Halloween. DRINKS: (8.5/10) Tornado Cookies n Cream w/ Soymilk (9/10): Soft, chewy boba and perfectly not too sweet. Loved the marshmallow ghosts. Taro Milk w/ Egg Pudding (8/10): Smooth and creamy, though I wished for a stronger taro flavor. VALUE: ($$$) Around $20 for two large drinks. PARKING: (9/10) Easy parking. We went on a Tuesday night. Not sure how parking is during the daytime and weekends. OVERALL: (4.5/5) Great drinks, amazing service, and adorable touches. Wish we could adjust sweetness levels, but still drinks were good!

    Any sugarfree options for the milk tea?

A few of our friends said try out and a few said not to bother. We're glad we stopped by to try them out. The coffee shop has a variety of coffee items on their menu. It's a good size coffee shop and has a good amount of tables and chairs for seating. Waiting area is all over the place. The young lady at the counter greeted us when we came in. Very friendly staff. Usual traffic for a coffee shop at noon. Ordered our coffee at 12:40pm but didn't get it until 1:06pm. There were a few customers who ordered before us and received their drinks. My husband inquired at the counter about our drinks. The nice young lady checked and informed us they accidentally forgot to make our drinks. We said no worries accidents happen. We ordered the Hot Salted Caramel Flan Latte and the Holiday Chocolate Cookie Latte. The drinks were ok. It was watered down and not hot. I couldn't taste the espresso. It wasn't fresh. We checked our receipt to make sure we got the right order. We did. We also didn't realize they charge for everything. They charged us 2% for the milk and 2 shots of espresso even though it was not mentioned nor was I asked if I wanted 2% milk and 2 espresso shots. I'm just glad we tried San Fernando Coffee shop. Not sure if we will return anytime soon to try other items on the menu.

It's located off of Balboa Blvd & Sherman Way. Parking lot has like 4 tight spots, so if you don't go early enough (or lucky enough) you'll have to find street parking. Since it was my first time, I tried the White Chocolate Lavender Latte with The Bouquet Burrito. Both came out in a reasonable amount of time, but to be fair I got there early. As I was getting ready to leave a long line started to form. Normally crowds can become a deal-breaker when it comes to coffee places, but Black Heart is surprisingly huge so there's plenty of room for everyone. Lounge seating in the back, tables on the sides, a big communal table in the middle, and outdoor seating in a shaded patio - if you're going to stay and chill, you're going to find a spot! The coffee is good, the burrito is packed with tastiness, the employees are all nice - Black Heart Coffee will soothe the darkest of hearts looking to attain life to face the day ahead. I can't wait to go back to try more of their menu!
