    omg i'm just realizing now i forgot to take photos of my food + drink lmaooo but it was so quaint and opens late! lots of people outside the storefront around 10pm still. i ordered the popcorn chicken and strawberry smoothie with boba for my bf -- yommy and freshly made! but nothing mindblowing

    Boba drink are delicious!

    I came to Bobaland in West Covina expecting good drinks, but honestly... the seasoned fries completely stole the show. Let's start with the obvious, the fries. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and coated in this perfectly balanced seasoning that hits savory, slightly salty, and just a little addictive. You know those fries you keep reaching for even when you're full? Yeah, those. I'd come back for these alone. The drinks were solid too, refreshing and nicely made, with a good variety to choose from. But if I'm being real, I barely paid attention once those fries hit the table. The vibe inside is chill and a great spot to hang out with friends. It's very small though with maybe three tables inside and a few chairs against the wall to sit in while you wait for your order. Not a big place so don't expect to fit with a stroller or anything like that lol. Service is usually quick, and everything comes out fresh. However, I have even there at times when it's busy and it can take up to 20 min to get your order so if you're in a hurry call and find out if you're going during their busy hours. Bottom line: come for the boba, but DO NOT skip the seasoned fries. That's the real star here.

    Poor service. Staff was laughing when I complained about being late. Should in order a hour in advance?

    I go here all the time. I placed an order 30 minutes ago and it is still not finished. The staff was rude, more concerned with being on their phones than helping customers. Very disappointing

    This has to be one of the best boba places in town. Although I don't get actual boba I have before and it's really good. But i decided to try something different and got the strawberry swirl and it was delicious. So creamy and so perfectly sweet. The popcorn chicken is our favorite and def our go to for a snack. The season fries are delicious. They have a sweet and salty taste to them. My son isn't a big fan so I get him regular fries and he tears it up. Everyone there is so sweet. The place has a little area to eat with a few tables so we like to sit inside and enjoy. I love this place. Definitely our go to and our favorite spot. 100000 recommend!

    I ordered the Avocano ($7.95) at Bobaland (West Covina). The first sip tastes of finely crushed ice. The second sip tastes of soft, sweet avocado. The third sip tastes of supple, gentle, sweetened jellies. The Avocano is a pleasant drink that's creamy and cold with a whopping portion of fresh & sweet mashed avocado. The effort and careful creation of this beverage is visible and appreciated. I arrived at Bobaland (West Covina) on Wednesday (around 6:52PM). The location is difficult to find because it's small and plain. Thankfully, there's plenty of parking, and Bobaland (West Covina) is walking distance from the Regal Edwards Movie Theater. Staff is functional. Staff works hard, and staff are terse and focused. This hidden location is busy with high customer flow and phone call orders. I ordered the Avocano ($7.95). The drink was completed in eight minutes and 33 seconds. As mentioned, I genuinely enjoyed my Avocano. It contained good quality ingredients, and it felt fresh. The portion felt reasonable, and it quenched my thirst. The drink was not too sweet; rather, its flavors felt well-intentioned and properly measured. Unlike gimmick locations that skimp, Bobaland (West Covina) felt well-composed and high-quality. Concerning ambiance, Bobaland (West Covina) is extremely ugly. This place is the living embodiment of "don't judge a book by its cover." The walls have a nauseating haunted house yellow color; the furniture is plastic and uncomfortable; and its crevices are brown and harshly scuffed. Honestly, its ugly design is either very dated or it's intentional so it can dissuade any customers from lingering. Bobaland (West Covina) is also very small and tight. It's cramped, and no music plays. There's just awkward silence. I also dislike how they have this one tiny trashcan with flaps which forces you to always touch its dingy top. On the positive side, the location is surprisingly well-ventilated. Its air smelled clean despite the strange strands of hairs underneath a few plastic tables. Also, the place offers many electric wall sockets (despite several of those sockets looking strangely brown and crusty). It even has wifi internet and password. To its credit, the one gender neutral restroom (for customers) was also very clean. Overall, I do recommend Bobaland (West Covina). Its appearance might be plain, cramped, and putrid; however, there's sincere care and love laced within those drinks. This local hidden gem is popular for good reason. 4.5 out of 5

    I have to come back here! The flavors are amazing and the staff is so nice! They know how to deal with difficult customers (I watched it happen) and they fully understand what customers want! The shop is so cute and there's a tv menu for people to look at before they get in line IF NEEDED! The chairs are set up and it's colorful and very nice! We came here after the bar flooded so not only are they open late but they save the night! We had a group of friends that went to Bobaland and it was a great way to end the night for all of us! We got to sit there and talk and enjoy our drinks together! Thank you Bobaland for a great time and great drinks!

    Came by here for a tea fix. It was a bit hard to find since the store front is small, but look for the bright yellow wall! There are not a lot of seats here (seating for maybe 10) and it's a very narrow shop, so it's more of a takeaway place. Honestly if you are claustrophobic, you might be uncomfortable spending a long time here. I picked up a couple drinks: * Mango Swirl with boba * Lychee green tea with crystal boba - I liked that the drink included a couple actual Lychee fruits in it! The teas we tried were good! Good level of sweetness, although I requested the green tea at 75% for the hubby since most of the time, most places are on the sweeter side. He said next time he'll get it with no adjustments since it was not that sweet. Decor here is cute, I like their cartoon llama theme.

    Service was just ok, and the drinks were mediocre too. I came here for a quick date and left completely unimpressed. Not much to add. Won't be back (plus it's far from my city anyways, lol).

    Yummy drinks
    Giselle M.

    I really enjoy Bobaland's drinks. Their drinks are well made and don't need any substitutions to make it taste good. My go to is their brown sugar fresh milk boba with cheese cream. The service is fast and the workers are friendly. The ambiance is nice, cute and modern. There are a decent amount of tables inside or chairs near the hallway while you wait for your drink. I highly recommend the caramel boba! Plenty of parking in their parking lot.

    I love Bobaland. It's the tiniest hole in the wall. Drinks are great. I have tried the Thai tornado, chocolate Oreo, mango yogurt, and others! They have all been so good. Popcorn chicken is also bomb! 10/10 recommend

    They forgot to put spicy pounder in my popcorn chicken. This is not the first time. Whoever work on Sunday doesn't know how to make it. Hopefully owner see this review.

    Local boba spot in West Covina that has great quick service and delicious drinks. The quality of the drinks is great and the pricing is worth it. The ambiance was very vibrant and welcoming as well as the workers. The other best part of this place is that they are open pretty late until 12am everyday. I would recommend giving this place a try. Features: Open late Indoor seating Great study spot LGBTQ+ friendly ‍

    Do they use any fresh brewed teas? And are there any nondairy milk options (almond, soy)?

    You can ask if they have dairy alternatives. It wont be on the menu because it needs to be specifically asked for.

Parking Parking was pretty convenient. There is street parking available, and there is also a small parking lot in the back for the building's tenants. Interior / Atmosphere The shop itself looks bright, clean, and inviting. It has big shop signs, sofas, and a few cute spots where you can take pictures. From what I heard, they also host K-pop gatherings from time to time, which gives the place a fun and unique vibe. Service The staff were friendly, interactive, and easy to talk to. They answered my questions with helpful information and made the experience feel welcoming. Drinks I ordered the Guanyin milk tea, which was recommended to me after I mentioned that I prefer a stronger tea flavor. It was a good recommendation, and I enjoyed that the tea taste came through well. Even though I ordered 100% sugar, the drink did not taste overly sweet, which I appreciated. Overall Overall, I had a good experience here. I would personally rate this place around a 4.3 to 4.7, but because the staff were so interactive and welcoming with customers, I would give them a 5.

Each time, the employee would only get part of the order before the call dropped. On the second call, we were in the middle of confirming the order when it hung up again. On the third call, she apologized and said the line was cutting out. When I tried to confirm my order one last time, she seemed rushed but said everything was correct before we hung up. My order was shrimp tempura, mozzarella sticks with no seasoning, two large mango teas, and one large black tea. When we got home, I noticed the shrimp tempura had no dipping sauce, and instead of mozzarella sticks, we were given potstickers. I called the store immediately and was told I needed to return the potstickers to receive the mozzarella sticks. I explained that I was no longer in the area and asked what could be done. I was then told to save the potstickers and bring them back the next time I came in so they could give me the mozzarella sticks. Since I don't like potstickers, I ended up throwing them away. I feel the situation could have been handled much better by management. Should have learned my lesson 10yrs ago when the same thing happened here.
