    Stopped in 15 mins from closing not realizing it and never felt rushed, the menu extensive and for non normal boba drinkers it took a second to just glance the menu but the Thai tea with boba was the winner. The space is large with a unique stadium seating to gather easily with friends. The decor is set up for an easy social media snap shot. A nice little space for a quick refresher.

    Fun little drinks, not too big to get a sugar rush or tummy ache!

    My kids and I love this spot. It's tons of fun to experiment with all of the different flavor combinations. There's a very impressive selection of toppings, mix ins, and bases. This makes it great for adventurous and picky eaters alike. Service is quick and the folks at the counter are helpful and kindly remind us of any coupons we have.

    First timer. Not from the area but I've tried other Bigstraw Boba branches around Oxnard and this branch was fairly the same. FOOD: Nothing extraordinary. I ordered a Vietnamese coffee in slushy/blended form which they don't do but was willing to accommodate. I liked how they recommended not to do because it can water down the taste of the drink but I still went on to try it lol (I should have listened though lol). Nevertheless, it was still a decent drink just lost the concentrated taste of the coffee. Also, ordered taro and it was good. Not too sweet and not too watered down. Just right. They have plenty of choices and combinations of toppings. SERVICE: I had no issues with the service. My drinks came out quick, I was the only customer at that time though. The server was attentive to my order and was more than willing to fulfill my order although she advised not to lol. I did appreciate the honesty though. AMBIANCE: No tables indoors but have a good amount of tables on a makeshift outside patio. They created these stair/step - like seats against the wall for more seating and hang out spot with friends while waiting for their drinks. They also have a instagrammable back drop on one of the walls for a photo op. Super cute! Perfect for little K-pop cup sleeve events. Spacious and clean. Overall, cute little boba spot. The drinks I ordered were decent. There's so many choices to choose from so I'm sure you can find a really good one you can deem as your fave. Try it yourself, visit with some friends and take some pics in front of the wall while enjoying your drinks! Don't forget to tip especially when they're busy :)

    Craved boba and this place popped up after a little errand run. First time so I asked the cashier what was recommended, to no surprise - he said the Thai tea. So ordered that and a cookies and cream boba and the Thai tea tasted like ... Thai tea. Nothing special but it was good. My brother didn't like the cookies and cream until the end and I liked the thai tea until the end ... there were so many ice chips and the bottom it was hard to get to the boba. I did however like the phot walls and the way the inside was set up , nice place for a quick shot. I'll go again if I'm the area. Next day update as I was in the area...14 May I ordered the dragonfruit black tea & it's a no for me. Idk what this ice chip business is but it doesn't belong with boba. Then the dragonfruit was like a syrup thing and was very slimy. I won't be back.

    5 stars for the service and decor at this Bigstraw Boba. Probably about a 3.5 for the consistency of the boba. I think this equals my review out for a solid 4 stars. We stopped into this shop for a quick boba and some bobas to take on the go for friends. I was super excited about the interior of this shop as it's really cute. Fake grass seats and greenery throughout the shop, it definitely gave cute trendy Instagram vibes. The menu here is impressive with plenty of options in smoothies and boba flavors. They also sell stickers for your hydroflasks which was a plus. I found the service to be awesome the day we came. I know some other reviewers had a different experience but the gals working behind the counter the day we came were super friendly and on it! They cranked out drinks and were helpful. 5/5 for our service experience. The reason I wouldn't run back to this boba shop was simply the inconsistency of the boba balls. I have a texture thing with boba and if any of the balls are a little dry or hard I lose it lol. That was the case here, half of the bobas were fresh and the right texture while the other half had the dryness in the middle that I struggled. Too bad as the flavor of the drinks itself were good. Maybe I caught them on an off day and someone wasn't on top of the tapioca balls but I'd give them another try when I'm in the area. Service was good and the menu is great - 4 stars for now, I just need them to improve the consistency of the boba.

    Taro with lychee jelly and strawberry popping boba

    This place is honestly so cute! Near the back is a cool fish tank with iridescent residents, and a fake grass covered bench that gives it in inside-outside kind of feel. Service was prompt and there was no line. I ordered a a weird flavor mixture because I had two ideas at the same time that ended up clashing, but the taro shake was sweet and creamy, and the popping boba was bursting with strawberry flavor. Highly recommend!

    Thai Tea with boba

    It's cute and small inside, we placed our order and received are drinks pretty quickly. As for the taste of Thai tea it was a bit bitter. The boba actually made it taste better because it was sweet.

    I came here once because I wanted to try a new boba place. I thought it was just okay, I wasnt impressed or anything. If I recall correctly, I had their Mango or peach green tea with boba. It was pretty okay, I have had better green tea drinks. I would say it usually has more flavor but this one did not.

I tend to go with a classic açaí bowl and add peanut butter on it so I get a little of everything in every bite. It's a good size and keeps me full for hours. I recently tried the blue lemonade which was also very yummy. This is located inside the Annex at the Collection and is a perfect place to stop by for some food packed with energy to keep you going on those long summer days. The bowl is refreshing and makes me feel like I fueled my body with good healthy food unlike if I went to a fast food restaurant. There is seating inside the Annex or there are also places outside to eat if you want some sun. The vibes inside are always great since there are always people looking for a good bite to eat while shopping. I definitely recommend this to anyone in the area and I will continue to come back.

It's a small shop, no one should expect to sit there over an employee. Should employees eat in their hot cars or what !? It is locally owned and they just opened, so probably still getting into the groove of things. You do wait a bit for your parfaits and açaís since there's also to-go orders coming in. Thankfully, I am patient and do not mind waiting. Everything always has to be go -go -go go for so many people. Chill, relax and enjoy a smoothie ... lol! I like that the bowls, smoothies and parfaits as not too sweet and diary free. My favorite is the PB and J chai parfait. I also really like the PB n j smoothie . So good !

If you have a 30 min lunch you should not be ordering from here. My bowl and smoothie did taste good but they need a better system. I was also standing for 15 min while I waited for my order because they only have 2 tables inside and both of them were being occupied. I am all for employees enjoying their break because one was being occupied by an employee on either their lunch or break and this is no fault to them but to management. Employees need a proper break room for them to occupy at their time and the fact that an employee was sitting in one of the tables to me means they do not have one. They need to work out these issues because down the road this place will be busier than ever especially at a prime location near the collection. The building is quite small as well.
