We found a new boba and specialty coffee drinks in Northridge thanks to our child. Excellent customer service and consistent in providing both excellent customer service and really delicious milk tea and specialty iced coffee drinks. Thank you Angel. As soon as we walked into the establishment we were greeted and welcomed. The baristas answered all our questions regarding ingredients and food allergies. Also, plenty of parking spots available. Inside the establishment there's plenty of huge seats like couches while waiting for your drinks. Many just hanging out with friends playing board games while sipping their milk teas and specialty iced coffee drinks. The milk teas and specialty iced coffee drinks we've tried and enjoyed are the Ube Coffee, Coffee Brûlée, Bobo Coffee, Caramel Milk Tea, and Strawberry Milk Tea. We enjoyed the specialty coffee drinks because they were not too sweet. You can taste the espresso along with the ube and brulee yet it's not overwhelming taste. It's a good balance. We added Bobo The Boba to our list of go to milk teas and iced coffee drinks in the SFV and have shared this place to our social circles. We look forward to trying other items on their menu. read more

Update to review: After hearing from owner Jay, I thought I'd elaborate here: The shop is probably a paradise for the little ones and their parents: Lots of cartoon-y imagery and colorful walls, and toys to buy; and a kind of 'lounge' that was quite adult in it's design which made for a little cognitive dissonance..that, plus the signs to please not jump on the furniture, lol. My visit was on one of those blisteringly hot days in August. I just wanted a boba milk or fruit tea, and there were a bewildering number of menu items that, granted, I reviewed in a cursory fashion because I was on a mission to get a boba and get back under that blistering sun to continue my errand run. I scanned for something to satisfy my thirst without packing on 500 calories, and noted that most items displayed seemed to have cream or custard, or all sorts of dessert-y items. It wasn't until I was finished with whatever it was I got -- some kind of fruity slushy with boba -- that I saw the small menu listing for milk or fruit teas. So my bad for that, but my observation still stands: This is a Gen Z sort of business with plexiglass partitions and the impersonal, contactless pay system -- do they take cash? -- that's for the convenience of the business, and not necessarily the customer, at least this customer who's obviously not their target market. Most people my age are watching their calories and macro nutrients, and proobably don't even drink boba drinks. They still use cash and even in a kid-oriented business, appreciate signage that is simple enough to read without every item screaming for attention. Finally, the contactless pay system so beloved by businesses that embraced it since Covid, really makes for an impersonal experience, IMHO, and does little to build customer loyalty. The young man who took my order was absent from the premises when I arrived and took awhile to show up. He then answered my questions, but didn't make the effort to ask me if he could help me find what I was looking for. That's another hallmark of businesses left to be run by inexperienced hands. The actual experience of the customer walking into a shop and giving you business should be thought through as carefully as the marketing, the menu, or design of the business. That's where the bucks get exchanged to keep the business thriving, no? All this said -- I think I am just too old for Bobo the Boba. I am not their target demographic and peeps under 40 may be fine with Bobo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Too fussy too Gen Z. Wanted a boba but navigating menu of frilly creamy mixes was a turn off. Wanted lower calorie drink options but didn't see until after I ordered. read more

I have looked all over for a boba shop in Northridge with unique drinks and high quality service and flavors. This shop serves exactly that. I got matcha man, which was a mix of strawberry and matcha. I LOVE matcha and have tried many. This drink was probably one of the best ones as it wasn't too bitter, it was fresh, and the matcha is ACTUALLY high quality. I love how the strawberries were not too sweet and weren't artificial at all. The drink even had little pieces of strawberry too! The staff were really nice and patient. I love the decor such as the seating and posters. I love the attention to detail! Overall, I would love to make this my new to-go boba spot!!!!! read more

Stopped by and tried the Coffee Brulee. Unique flavor to it. I liked it. It was a busy today. There was a pickup with a huge order so I waited for bit. Still a good experience and staff was nice like the last time. Thank you. read more

It's a cool boba spot, but I come here for the Taiyaki, which is crunchy fish-shaped waffles with yummy fillings. They make the waffles from scratch, fresh to order, right in front of you. I tried the ones with cheese filling, the nutella filling and the custard filling and all 3 were extremely delicious. The waffles are so crunchy and then you hit that warm, soft filling within and it's a perfect bite. I usually get 5 of these waffles to go for $10 and bring them home. My kids absolutely love them. The place itself looks modern, with contemporary, futuristic furniture pieces and a few tables. The customer service is excellent. Cool little spot and I will definitely be back! read more

Kayla was such an amazing worker and was so kind to me. It was my first time there and she gave me a recommendation drink that turned out to be amazing. So many fun games to play while waiting, and the atmosphere is very clean. Thank you Kayla!! Will be coming here agin very soon!! read more

First time here and disappointed. Saw the dirty sodas sign outside went in to see what flavors they had and surprising they didn't have it on the menu only on the kiosk. Proceeded to order a cookies and cream smoothie - the name should be a chocolate smoothie that's it. No cookies are used in the making of this smoothie. All chocolate with a vanilla cold foam drizzle on the side. If that's what you want cool. But nowhere have I been where a cookies and cream smoothie means a chocolate smoothie. read more

Bobo The Boba - COOKIES & CREAM - Bubble Tea Near Me - Northridge, California

|[ p o s i t i v e s ]| I appreciate that they have milk subs, zero sugar added options, lots of topping options, and vast menu with aesthetically pleasing drinks! Service was great, small interior bright ambiance, parking was easy so this review is purely based on the drink as I'm picky about milk teas. |[ m o r e t e a p l s ]| Roasted oolong MT w/ soymilk, zero sugar, grass jelly was 3/5 for me. Very subtle tea flavor not as strong as I'd like and tasted/looked watered down (though I'm grateful it even has any tea flavor considering we're in the valley). Grass jelly was great. I think there's potential and hope they keep improving their milk teas and not rely on sugar/sweetness to carry the drink. Signed up in the app for 30% off first order which came in clutch lol. read more

Bobo The Boba - ROASTED OOLONG MILK TEA w/ soy milk + grass jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Northridge, California

Saw an Instagram ad about $3 drinks if you download their app. Of course I had to stop by out of temptation. Finding parking was fairly easy since it is located in a big plaza. Attempting to order the $3 deal after showing my app, the staff member was very misleading with his speech regarding the discount vs welcome bonus (-30%) and the advertised $3 drinks. I spent an extra 5 minutes just fumbling in the app until he eventually said it's cheaper to order for $3 in person... For drinks, I had the Thai Tea and Green Thai Tea, two of each, and all four drinks at 25% sugar. The hands must've been heavy, the machines must've been off, or the buttons wrongly pressed, but these were all as sweet as 100% at other places. Between the four drinks, they were more a chore to drink than a treat to enjoy. I also ordered it with boba, but none of the drinks came with boba... And in packing the drinks, there was no care in placing the drinks. Not only did they just hand me the bag, but there were no straws put inside - oops! Not even a reminder... Thankfully, I had some backup in the car and home. read more

Bobo The Boba - Drinks secured... But no straws. 25% sugar feels like 100%. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Northridge, California

Tucked away in the same plaza at the Galleria Market, Bobo the Boba was always an option to me but never seemed as exciting to me as BonBon, just a couple plazas over. I tried Bobo the Boba for the first time and was neither surprised or disappointed by what I got. I ordered on the kiosk, trying to download the app for the 30% off your first drink offer, but the service in the plaza is quite spotty, so I couldn't. I ordered the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with boba and crystal boba. The oolong flavor was pretty mild, and I recall seeing one of the baristas putting the shaker bottle in the microwave, which was a bit odd. The boba didn't have too much brown sugar flavor but was nice and chewy. The crystal boba was pretty standard. Overall, not bad but would probably choose somewhere else next time. read more

This boba spot in Northridge offers a wide range of drinks - milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, and more! I appreciated the bobarista informing us about the membership deal of 30% when you join on the app! The drinks are fairly priced and came out quickly. We sat on the seating area and waited for our drinks, not a lot of tables but plenty of padded chairs. The branding is cute too. read more

My boys wanted a drink before heading to the baseball fields, so we discovered this cool little spot in a small shopping center. There was a lot of parking on a weekend around 3 PM, and the place was empty until we arrived. We were warmly greeted by two staff members who helped us navigate the menu, offering to customize a few items to suit my kids' preferences. While waiting for our drinks, my kids and I enjoyed exploring the shop, laughing at the cool decorations, posters, and gaming machines in the corner. We loved the layout, with long benches, wooden stools, and mini tables for sitting or eating. It's a very cool place! Our drinks arrived pretty quickly, but we noticed a large group of people rushing in, filling up the shop before I could finish taking pictures, showing that it's kind of popular in the area. For the drinks, I ordered lychee fruit tea with green tea and lychee jelly. My boys chose mango slushies, one with strawberry popping and the other with mango popping. All the drinks were good and not too sweet, but the mango slushie with strawberry popping was the hit! The flavors blended perfectly, and I found myself sneaking sips from his drink most of the time (the drinks were large for a 5-year-old, so don't feel bad for him lol). Overall, I'll definitely go back if I'm in the area again and highly recommend anyone reading this to stop by for a drink, especially as summer approaches. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros read more

great service! definitely recommended! price mid, drink made to your liking! very clean

Stopped in here and was able to try taiyaki for the first time! We got two of them, one Nutella and one mozzarella and parm w Italian spice. The mozzarella one wasn't really great to me, but the Nutella one was delicious. We also got some boba, a strawberry banana smoothie and a cookie and cream smoothie. We enjoyed both in the little seating area they have. Great service and a very family friendly spot. read more

A unique blend of boba drinks that aren't common to other boba shops I've been too. They have a variety to choose from slushes, smoothies, milk teas and more. I picked dragon slayer off the speciality menu, it's a combination of lychee slush, dragon fruit and mango bites and I added in the boba. This drink was light with a little sweetness the fruit gave and overall refreshing. My friend got the camo crush; thai tea with matcha, sea cream and boba. Inside is small but spacious, two couches and small tables to boba and yap. Ordering and pickup is all at the cash wrap. Drinks were made to order, cashier was super friendly. Big parking lot with other business around. read more

The blended drinks here are awesome. The boba is fresh and the menu is full of unique flavors. I've explored the menu quite a bit and have been both pleasantly surprised and disappointed in what I ordered. As long as you're in the mood for a sweet treat, you'll find something here that suits you. My favorite is the Halo Halo. I tried the Mango Cream and Taro Titan before having the Halo Halo and it's the perfect combination of the two. The interior has a great design and the staff are always friendly, but it does get pretty busy. This is my go to boba spot! Halo Halo 10/10 Mango Cream 9.5/10 Taro Titan 8.5/10 read more

This was a night time treat, it was quiet and empty inside & the music playing was good. I ordered at the counter and the service was fast. I ordered the Camo Crush with boba- which is a Thai Tea slush with matcha & sea cream. Both the matcha & Thai tea came through on the drink, great combo. They have couches inside for seating and one outside table. They also have two claw machines to play. Parking- huge parking lot with plenty of spaces read more

It's been getting hot lately and my friend recommended Bobo the boba, so I went to get something refreshing. This store is located in a plaza with shared parking that includes honey baked ham, Starbucks, etc. The store itself is quite small with a few table stools. You'll be able to hangout if you are a small group. For my order, I got the taro titan with boba. I don't usually prefer my drinks super sweet, so I asked for 75% sugar. That was to my preference. This location seems to have taiyaki, which is something I'll get in my next visit. Note: American Express is accepted. read more

My daughter and I came here today around 4:45pm & it wasn't too busy. We love the couches and small tables they had. It felt comfortable to sit at for the short time we waiting for our food/drinks. I wish we were a little more adventurous on our picks today but we got the brown sugar milk tea with boba and roasted oolong milk tea with aloe vera. To me, I have to try to get the simple drinks first because if you mess up that simple milk tea drink I wouldn't go back. I appreciate that we can choose the sweetness. We also got the Nutella, Oreo, and Nutella banana taiyaki. I love Somi somi & not a lot of places make their taiyaki as good, but it was super delicious! We would definitely come back again to try signature drinks. read more

This is a nice little boba spot right next to Starbucks in the Galleria Market plaza. It looks new and there is seating available inside. It was nice and super cold inside. Ordered the chamoy slush and lychee black tea. The chamoy was a little too sweet for me but the flavor did start to grow on me. The lychee black tea was good and didn't have a strange artificial flavor like I've had at other places. Reminds me of Ding Tea. I would come back here if I'm in the area. Would have been nice to have some tables, but I guess it's more of a place to hang out than to work. You can go next door to Starbucks if that's what you want. read more

False advertising! Signed up with the app, suppose to receive a free drink reward, got the reward on my app but every time I try to redeem it they keep telling me their system isn't working/processing rewards at the moment. We've gone about 7x. We gave up on using rewards and pay everytime. Today my daughter received a coupon to her account for %15off we went in and (of course) the cashier said it's still not accepting rewards (how convient, for them) so the system always declines to accept rewards, so what's the point of sending them out? It's FALSE ADVERTISING!! I DONT like to support companies that don't honor their coupons/ rewards. People/companies need to honor their word & rewards otherwise they're just tricking people into coming in and buying from them, I don't appreciate that. (I just got a generic response from the owner, a "Thanks for the wonderful review, were delighted that you had a great experience") Lol ain't noway that was her only response She probably didn't even read the review or she didn't know what to say since she knows the reward system is a fake fluke" read more

I was craving for Boba Drink while I was in the valley last week and with Yelp's help, I decided to try this place. 1st, I love that there is a lot of parking space! 2nd, their staffs are so nice! They even help me choose my drink and even informed me of their promo that day. The place is clean too and you have a space to chill. I chose the Bobo King drink and cut the sugar to 50% and it turned out great. Its super yummy! With flan and boba on the drink. I will definitely be back to try their other drinks. read more

The boba here is AMAZING. I'm so so glad this nee spot opened up so close to home. Can't believe I didn't get to try it until recently. Ordered the Bobo King and Strawberry Milk Tea. They do a very good job of layering up the different components of the drink so you're not constantly digging around and mixing it up. Their foam is the perfect texture and perfect salty sweet. Their strawberry puree tasted so fresh! Boba texture is perfect as well. Since it is my first time ordering I didn't know what to expect yet so I ordered at full sweetness. Both the drinks were a bit too sweet for my liking, I believe it's the boba syrup itself so i'll probably get half sweet for the future. These drinks are quite rich so I will only be getting these every once in a while but i'd love to try the lighter slushes and teas for more refreshing everyday choices. Was so excited to try the taiyaki but was pretty disappointed when I took a bit and they tasted just like storebought pancake batter. The fillings also weren't evenly distributed. Generally only an inch or two of filling in each one. Was really hoping for more of that chewy mochi batter consistency I get at other places. In summary, boba is amazing go try it. I'd skip the taiyaki for now (until maybe they update the recipe). read more

I'm back after a year, and I had such a much better experience this time around! This time, I decided to try one of their specialty drinks--the Camo Crush, which is a blend of Thai tea, matcha, and sea cream. The flavors complement each other perfectly, and it was absolutely delicious. You can really tell they've put so much effort into perfecting their menu, as there was a much larger and more exciting selection than I remember from before. Be sure to download their app for extra discounts, and don't forget to follow them on Instagram. They're always posting about special deals and promotions! read more

Since my last review I have ordered here a few more times. Usually get the Mango slush and anything Taro. I thought 50% was too sweet so I have been getting it 25%. The last times I got it at 25% was fine. But today, I think they forgot to sweeten it because I tasted nothing. Just tasted like milk. I hope it was just a mistake but eh. read more

Came on a weds around 8:40pm. Ordered on the app, but also you can order in person. I hate boba places that don't offer in person support. Call me old school , but I may want to discuss when ordering at a new place. There were 3 employees when I arrived. The lady acknowledged us and asked if we were ready to order. I told her I orders on the app. One drink was ready, and the second would be ready soon. I told her it was my first visit, didn't know when this location open. I asked about favorites, and she informed me a few. Super friendly, she cared. When the second boba was complete, another lady handed to us. And also said - we have extra drinks done if you want any 2 - for free ! She explained the flavors, and we gladly accepted two . Came home with 4 boba drinks ! That never happens, haha. As for the drinks Boba the king. Sounded amazing and maybe too sweet. But I wanted to try ! And yes amazing and too sweet for me. I drank half and my wife finished the rest. Halo halo. My wife loved it. And yes I really enjoyed. But no boba included. (Need to add extra if you want boba) Will definitely return. Next time either a mango peach drink. Located near the galleria , so plenty of parking around. Highly recommend. Potentially best boba included the SFV. read more
