    Top 1000 drinks.
    Kev H.

    I am tossing between giving this place 4 stars and 3 stars. OK, let me start with the many good things about their brown sugar milk tea with boba: 1. The brown sugar milk tea: It tasted like whole milk, it was creamy and delicious, and the brown sugar flavor really came through. Overall the drink was pretty amazing. 2. The boba: Perfectly sweetened. 3. The value: Their "large" sized drink turned out to cost more than $7, which was not cheap, but the size was not just "large", it was actually gigantic. Because of that, I felt like the price was justified. Now the bad: A. The boba: Super undercooked, and very tough. Too bad, because the flavor (sweetness) was perfect. B. The tea in milk tea: I did not taste any tea flavor whatsoever. The drink tasted purely like whole milk with brown sugar, even though the name of the drink suggested there was tea. C. The cup: It is one of my pet peeves to see a plastic cap-on lid on my boba drink cup, because with it I could not shake my drink upside down and rigorously to evenly mix my drink, which in this case I would want to be able to shake up my drink so that all of the brown sugar could go into my milk tea. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and give them 4 stars instead. But I would want to give this place another try, mainly to see if the undercooked boba was just a one time flub.

    Hey there, Boba Time! Thought I'd finally get around to leaving Boba Time a review even though I had already visited here quite a few times over the course of their opening to now. Located in the top level of the Sun Valley Mall, and in a location that is known to have previously had other boba and dessert as the concept, it's nice to see that there is finally a spot that is worth staying there with Boba Time. The decor is nice and clean. There are seats on the sides of the wall for you to wait for your drinks, but there are no sit down tables, though you're in a mall so if you really want you can just go directly downstairs to the food court area for seating since that's the side of Sun Valley they're located in. They also added a table now with straws, and for people to stab their straws into their drinks, which makes sense since there's no other tables there before. The staff here is really what sticks out here the most I feel. The owner is very conversational, friendly, and just overall a nice person to interact with. The employees here are also friendly, as I know most of them, and those I'm not as familiar with, they're also ready to help me out with my order. Boba Time doesn't just have boba, but they also have frozen desserts, so if you're in the mood from some of that as well, or just really like Ube and taiyaki cone, thise place will be able to help you out with that. Though it's not an extensive menu for flavors, it will have enough that should be enticing for a group of people as well to choose from. The boba menu is fairly sized. It's not going to be as big as other boba places, but they have all of the basics, and will be able to meet whatever you're feeling for drinks at that moment. Pricing wise, they're kind of on the higher side of things, but then again, all boba seems to have gotten expensive across the board now with all locations, while they haven't gone up since opening, so they're more on par now if anything. The part of the pricing that would make it go up more is if you want to get a large, as their large price is a bit higher than usual places, but the only other places where the cups actually get this large is Milk Tea Lab, so you definitely get a nice bang for your buck when upgrading to a "large" here, which is really more of a big gulp sized cup. Their toppings are also not the standard $.50 topping, though they are still on par with places like Sharetea, where the toppings are in the $0.7x range. If you just get a regular sized drink with a topping, the pricing will probably be the same as other spots nearby such as Teapot or Happy Lemon. Drink quality time. I've tried their brown sugar before, which was good, but nothing that would put it above any other brown sugars in the area. The basic milk tea here was also good, but nothing extraordinary, though is different than the other boba spots in this area. The passion fruit green tea here is probably my favorite, and the one I always get when I am here. The tea flavor is strong here, but so is the passion fruit flavors, but rather than one overpowering the other, they're really just overpowering my tastebuds which I'm totally fine with. The boba here is another selling point, as they by far as the QQest boba in the area, with the exception of maybe Sharetea. I probably like their boba the most for the chewiness, though sometimes, I do feel it may be a bit too chewy, but again, I digress. Boba Time is a welcomed sight for the Sun Valley Mall. With many, many boba places that have tried to make their way into the Sun Valley lineup throughout the years, this is one that will probably stick around for awhile, or at the very least, I hope it will. Prices are comparable, great staff, and well made drinks. Yes, Surf City and Uncle Sharkii offers boba, but they're not a boba place. Boba Time IS a boba place, so boba cravers should definitely give it a try.

    Brown sugar milk tea
    Daniel G.

    Nice people, and quick service. I ordered the brown sugar boba milk tea. Sweet and tasty, I got average sweetness & ice on my drink & it was good! I'm glad to see a boba joint open in the local mall! Ton a competition here in the bay, a number of boba restaurants in the area by the Sunvalley Mall here in Concord. They also sell soft serves with a multitude of toppings! Be sure to check it out!

    New boba store in Sunvalley Mall and while I was skeptical given it was Happy Lemon or i-Tea, I was surprised that their passion fruit green tea is actually pretty good. It's more on the sweet side than the tart side so while it may be generic, I do quite like it. They are also one of stores that allow customization in terms of sugar and ice level too which is appreciated. It looks like they also have a decent menu but since I only got the passion fruit green tea with boba this time, I'm quite keen to try their other items including the ice cream (I see you ube ice cream flavor). Anyways, not much of a line given it's new but definitely appreciated given the heat wave recently. So go try it out!

    Mango Green Tea with Strawberry Boba
    Alan D.

    This is a new Boba shop located in the Sunvalley Mall located on the 2nd floor. Being there are a lot of tea shops in the area (and even in the mall we have like 2 already there) something has to make this place stand out amongst the other. They do offer taiyaki and ice cream to go with it as well as their drinks. I only tried their drinks this visit so my review will focus on that. I ordered the Mango Green Tea with Strawberry Boba. I had it 70% sweet with medium ice. Overall, it was pretty decent and not too sweet. The mango green tea was refreshing and the strawberry boba gave it that sweet syrup to complement the drink. However, I tasted a bunch of the boba syrup because it all popped when I drank through my straw. The straw they gave me was not big enough to even suck the boba. I had to pop the boba in order to get anything out, and that ruins the drinks for me. I took down a star for that inconvenience. Overall, I would look forward to trying other things here.

    Large classic milk tea with boba
    Sharon C.

    Honestly pleasantly surprised. The tea flavor was good, sweetness level was good (I get 50% sweet), ice level was good (also 50%), and the boba was chewy, which is great! I 100% prefer al dente, chewy boba to the overcooked mushy boba some stores make. The only thing I didn't like is the lid is a snap on lid. I prefer the sealed ones, but I got the large size, so maybe the machine doesn't seal this size. Anyways, it's just a minor thing. I wasn't expecting a boba shop in a mall to be so good I actually made a review. Definitely would get boba here if I'm in the mall again.

    whenever i'm at sunvalley, i usually make a stop here for a sweet treat after my shopping trip! no, this isn't the best spot in town, but it's prices are pretty reasonable. service is relatively quick, too. i got a large (and it is LARGE.) mango passionfruit green tea w/ boba - it came out to $7-8 dollars, which is unfortunately the standard nowadays, but the size of the drink makes up for it. you can ask for less/no ice, free of charge, if you want more bang for your buck!

    Great lil boba spot. The only thing that bothered me was the smoothie and slushy was not blended all the way. Still had lil chunks of ice.

    Went shopping with my friend and we were in need of something sweet after having Sun Gate BBQ. We were definitely not disappointed. The service was fast, and the employees were nice and patient. Overall I would say I had a great experience here and I most definitely would go again!

    $6 for the float + tip + tax.
    Tiffany H.

    I ordered the boba float & it was actually really good. The boba was made fresh and the vanilla soft serve was good. Staff member added caramel and brown sugar drizzle and it was built to perfection! He also asked me if I wanted to add some Oreos; pocky; granola; and stuff on it and I said yassss! Overall I highly recommend trying the float.

    I grew up in Taiwan where, on hot, muggy summer nights when it was just too miserable to stay…read moreindoors, my siblings and I would walk down the street to a street vendor and get a cold shaved ice topped with brown sugar syrup and condensed milk. Absolutely the best way to cool down! I was thrilled to discover Ice Monster in Walnut Creek! Not only can I get an authentic Taiwanese shaved ice, but they have an incredible variety of ice flavors (strawberry, mango, green tea, etc) and toppings. They also have boba tea (which also originated in Taiwan), milk tea, regular ice cream, freshly cooked Chinese finger foods, and more. The place has tables inside and out and is always immaculate. I also really appreciate that they don't add the problem of landfills overflowing with plastics! They use real dishes and real silverware. I don't know of any other place that conscientious. I have been going here for 8 years. It was started by a couple from Taiwan and the owners the last several years are from China. They keep the place open seven days a week, but even with that grueling work schedule, the customer service is always fantastic. They go out of their way to keep their customers happy. Apparently, I'm not the only one who loves the place, because when school gets out, the place is filled with teenagers and families with children. It's a great place to hang out. I've tried other places in the East Bay, but this is my absolute favorite place for Chinese shaved ice, boba tea, and other yummy foods. I can't recommend them highly enough!

I just was not sure if the floral flavor paired well with the red bean filling I chose for the inside of my fish-shaped cone. We also ordered their matcha soft serve, which used to be my favorite, but the matcha flavor yesterday did not seem as strong as I remembered. Other than that, my experience was really great. The store was nice and clean, and even though we had a party of six, we were able to get the largest table, which was perfect. It was also very well air conditioned, which felt amazing given the unusually hot weather we have been having in Concord in the middle of March. I would definitely love to come back again soon and order their ube flavor, which is my favorite.
