Stopped by because I saw on the menu that they have paninis and I've been on a major panini kick lately I just can't get enough! The shop is nice and spacious with lots of seating and chairs but I got my food to go because I had so many things to do today. I chose the basil pesto panini, tater tots, and I also got the Tropical Waterfall without any Boba additions. For the tropical waterfall it's so delicious!!!! I could have added the Boba or even gotten custard squares with it but personally I loved it just the way it was. When the weather gets even hotter this might be my go to drink because it's so delicious and refreshing. My basil pesto panini was perfect, from the beautiful browned lines on the bread to the perfect taste on the inside. I got a side of the basil pesto sauce which made a good dipper! For the tater tots you have an option of spice level which I didn't fully understand until I got mine. I love spice so I got mine spicy. I learned it's the seasoning. I personally did not like the seasoning and it wasnt spicy until I finished chewing and swallowing and the seasoning felt powdery to me. Despite this I brushed off as much of the seasoning as possible and the tater tots themselves were perfectly hot and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

Bounce Boba Lounge - Tropical waterfall and Basil pesto panini - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Northridge, California

Bounce Boba Lounge was my go‑to spot back when I lived in town, and honestly, nothing else has quite matched it since. The drinks were always consistently great--fresh flavors, perfect sweetness, and boba with that ideal chewy texture that's surprisingly hard to find elsewhere. The vibe was a huge part of why I loved it. It had that perfect mix of cozy and lively, the kind of place where you could hang out for hours without realizing how much time had passed. The staff was always friendly, quick, and genuinely welcoming, which made every visit feel easy and familiar. Even after moving away, Bounce Boba Lounge still stands out in my mind as one of the best boba spots I've ever had. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth stopping by--you'll see why it became my old favorite. read more

After some Lunar New Year's activities at a local temple, my cousin and brother and I wanted to stop by and grab some boba somewhere before heading back to the family. After hearing my cousin list all of the boba places in the valley (compared to the 626, there aren't), I decided on Bounce Boba Lounge since it's not a franchise or name that we have in SGV. Plenty of parking in the plaza and there's 2 order kiosks when you go in. Takes some time for our drinks and snack to come out but a lot of it had to be blended then and there. They have giant catering packs of 1 gallon boba if you need it. There's fried snack foods here and lots of unique blended and slush type drinks and I feel like that's what they're more known for. During the wait, you can play with their very aged Jenga set (can tell this is a popular stop for lots of people) or look at the worker's playlist recommendations which is pretty fun and I haven't seen it elsewhere. For our order, we got the: 1) Spicy Fries: -We got this regular spicy and it had a slight kick to it. Not too bad. -Comes with 2 sauces. You can pack the ketchup, BBQ sauce, and sweet and sour sauce (it's the classic Red 40 yummy crab rangoon sauce) for free near the utensils, so definitely use your 2 sauces for something not available. So we got the spicy mayo and the ranch. Way more than enough sauce for the amount of fries that we got. -Decent amount of fries enough to share amongst like 5 people who snacked on it. Slightly crispy, slightly moist and soggy (but in a good potato way not a Styrofoam way). 2) Frozen Flan: -Got to take a sip of this. Sweet honey boba taste and the flan is more like the custard pudding you get in boba places than the standard caramel flan that you get as a dessert. Not bad, but different from what I expected. 3) Sea Salt Marble Ghirardelli Chocolate Caramel: -This is the drink that I got for myself since the name itself had a mixture of everything that I enjoy, chocolate, sea salt, and caramel! -It's a slightly watered down milky chocolate slush (not bad, but the flavor can be a bit denser and richer) and there's caramel mixed in. Very subtle caramel flavor that was drizzled on the cup, so make sure you mix it up. Yummy dessert drink if anything. 4) Brulee Buko Pandan Smoothie: -My brother got this one and it's a classic taste that reminds me of a Vietnamese dessert. Strong coconut flavor from the pandan, but with some subtle vanilla and caramel taste to it too. Another yummy dessert drink. Before a lot of the fancier franchises took over the 626, this reminds me of the boba places from the early 2010's where they had snacks and were a more fun place to hang out. Solid boba place. read more

A great Boba spot in Northridge! Came here with friends after dining and we had to try this spot. Bounce Boba is located in a shopping mall with other establishments. There's ample parking and easy to find. When you walk in, you're able to make selections on a computer screen of what type of boba you may want. The establishment has so many choices in whatever mood you may be in. My boa was perfect and I really enjoyed the flavors. Can't wait to come back. Service was great and our bobas came out really quickly. The staff seemed nice as well. read more

I've always loved their popcorn chicken and boba here. They also have a combo menu with food and the drink as well. You can customize the spiciness level of your food and the sweetness and ice leve of your boba. I always get their taro milk tea no boba 50% sweet and a side of French fries and popcorn chicken mild with the sweet and sour sauce. Service is always fast. Have seating inside and even have gameboards for your friends. They have plenty of parking spaces as well. Great and friendly staff as always. They give the best recommendations! read more

Great tasting food and milk tea. Highly recommend their panini and sticky mango rice milk tea (actually tastes like fresh mangos were put in there!!!) They have a lot of screens there for you to order your food. Music is nice too. Bobaristas are nice read more

3.5/ 5 I give this place. It is great to pass by this place and grab the good stuff. The staff are always helpful and patient when I was struggling what to get. They answered my questions when I was asking what's in it on the drinks. They keep the place clean and tidy which is always good to see. The drinks were prepared good. Although the cup seems to have gotten smaller. They used tout it on decent size cups. Im sure they are saving money with smaller cups. The taste is still good though but the quantity has lessened. Customers know when things are off and can see the difference. read more

Good drinks. It's cashless so you have to order from a touch screen. Kinda sad not to be greeted when walking in while the staff is engaged in their own conversations. As we were waiting for our drinks, another customer walks in, isn't greeted or assisted and walks right out. I'm not surprised. Place itself is small but well kept. Parking lot not as busy on a Sunday. read more

This place used to be THEE boba spot (OG before bon bon) in the valley. I rarely come here now. This place has really changed. I came in on a Tuesday night ordered two drinks. The staff is very lackluster. Ordering on the iPad is very efficient and easy. I ordered an iced blended milk tea with honey Boba half sweet extra thick. My drink felt like it was only blended with a few cubes of ice and incredibly way too sweet. It tasted like a regular iced milk tea. It's these kinds of experiences that ultimately kill businesses, especially when there are several other options not only in the valley but also directly across the street in either direction. read more

This is my favorite boba spot in the LA area. When you enter the shop, you know the owner really put in efforts to make you feel cozy and welcomed. The ambiance reminded me of the times back in college, friends would get boba, study, and just hang out. I highly recommend the popcorn chicken. Extremely crispy and the seasoning is the right amount of spice and saltiness. Honestly legendary. I usually get their matcha drinks or the signature milk tea. The way how the drinks taste is exactly like how you would have had it in Taiwan, super authentic milk tea spot. Highly highly recommend. They are also doing fund raisers and event catering. Also met some influencers when I swing by from time to time. read more

We heard of bounce Boba when we attended the Yelp elite 818 event, about 10 minutes down the road we decided to stop in since they close at 11 o'clock after our event with the complementary coupon One free drink . We took advantage of it before we head home . Wyatt helped us with our order since we can't process the coupon at the kiosk station. We decided to purchase six more additional drinks to take home to our kids. They offer party treats size drinks for large groups as well. Yummm thank you . read more

A couple friends and I were in the Northtridge vicinity and found ourselves nearby this boba shop. Thought the name of the biz was intriguing plus we happened to have a complimentary drink voucher (thank you Bounce!) that we received from an event so we had to drop on by to use it. It's a cute place with good amount of inside seating. There are a few kiosks for self-ordering or you may walk up to the counter to order. Please note if you have any coupons or vouchers for free drinks or any other free stuff, you will need to order from the counter and not use the kiosk. They also have one all gender restroom for use which is convenient for the customers. Staff was very friendly. I usually get our go-to drinks for my daughters and I. My eldest daughter loves peach mango jasmine green tea + lychee jelly so I got her that. My youngest daughter loves the brown sugar black milk tea + crystal boba, but they didn't have crystal boba so got her that with honey boba instead. I got the taro milk tea with custard jello cubes (aka egg pudding LOL). All the drinks had no ice just the way we like it because we don't want our drinks to be watered down. All 3 drinks were amazing... quite delightful and refreshing! Will definitely get again! Bounce is quite a distance from my home, but should I be in the San Fernando Valley area in the near future, I will return here for more tasty drinks. Thank you Bounce for being great at your craft! Keep it up!! read more

After having a bite next door at Kickin', a group of us bounced our way over here for drinks. While others were going for the milk tea, I couldn't help but notice the Nutty Pistachio which reminded me of the pistachio shakes I would get at a spot called Café BT. Not a lot of places make them, so I figured it couldn't hurt to try. Many shops these days have self-service tablets for ordering, and this place is no exception. As one would expect, there were some in there busy at work on their laptops, while others were gossiping away. Guess we're just passing by. The drink for the smallest size was $5.95 and turned out not too sweet, perhaps slightly less flavor than I'm used to without adjusting the sugar level. The almond topping was a nice touch. Kinda felt as if I inhaled the whole thing in an instant, though it helped that it was a scorcher outside. read more

BBL was one of the revolutionaries that specialized in boba drinks in the valley, a mainstay for school fundraisers. Nowadays, with Bon Bon into play, the line isn't as long. Drinks are a bit artificial tasting and tend to be on the sweeter side. Boba is chewier than I'd like. The redeeming constant, however, is their food, especially their popcorn chicken. I like the sauces here better than Tea n Tea. Since they opened, they underwent an interior design and logo change. Looks more modern and sleek. Same owners as Kickin Kasian - bomb food, OK lemonades. read more

My first time here and definitely not my last. I wish I lived closer because I would definitely pick this place as a good meetup spot with friends. Cute decor and quaint size. One thing that sets this boba place apart is that right by the register, they let you know that they can adjust the sweetness level to your preference. I know that in theory but this is the only boba place that I've seen that has a sign thoroughly explaining what each amount means. Thanks for your quick service , Dave! read more

Drove back here on an extra trip to Bounce Boba Lounge, Northridge, Los Angeles, CA. to support them. Bought their house milk tea I believe with boba, less sugar. Super late post. Staff was friendly and efficient: this location was convenient if I was already driving out to Los Angeles, CA. I will return again to continue supporting them. Bounce Boba Lounge, CA.. was located close to Cal State Northridge, CA. The tea shop was super clean and organized: they also provided free water for customers. read more

Usually bounce is our go to for a good deal on popcorn chicken, fries, and boba, but today their popcorn chicken was utterly disappointing. I think I maybe had 2 bites of chicken and the rest tasted like fried flour bits. Imagine sifting throw little bits of sad crusty flours to try to find a morsel of chicken. If that sounds like fun to you, this is your place. read more

I've been coming here for so many years And it's a great Boba place. The inside is cute and nice and they're always playing cool music. They have a big selection of drinks and some fun drinks and seasonal drinks. I used to always get the earl grey milk tea, but I've decided to start switching it up and this time around I had gotten the rose milk tea and it's was nice the rose flavor was there but it wasn't overwhelming and they're boba for me has always been soft and has a chew to it. I've never had "stale" boba from Bounce. read more

Bounce Boba Lounge has been around since 2003 and is in a great spot for the neighborhood, especially being close to the local college. This is one of my favorite spots because they have a self-serve kiosk where you can order and pay, then simply pick up your drink. I ordered the Tiger Thai Milk Tea with Boba, and it was ready in about 2 minutes. I love how efficient they are. I usually come for the boba, but they also have some food options if you get hungry while enjoying your drink. read more

Came here once waiting for some friends for dinner. When you enter the place no one greets you. You order with kiosks. Parking: plenty of parking at 5:30 pm on a weekday. Food: I only ordered a drink. Lychee tea with lychee jelly, 50% sweetness. It was delicious. 4 stars for the drink itself. Ambiance: The interior is kind of confusing. Pretty dim lighting. Music they are playing is heavy metal. I used their restroom and it's not that tidy. I would come back. The drink that I ordered was yummy! Cheers! read more

Hands down, favorite boba spot in the valley. Today, we got the tareo (taro blended with oreos) with some lychee jelly. It is the perfect combination of sweet and chocolaty. This drink was much needed for this summertime heat. I love this boba spot just because the consistency of the drinks are always held at a high standard, rarely you'll have a drink that isn't to my liking and I'll just tell them and they'll make a new one. Ordered at the kiosk, but the workers are efficient about getting the orders out quickly. The vibe of the restaurant is always chill, there were some people chatting and some working on a laptop. Always a good experience and will forever come to this boba spot for my favorite boba read more

Had a coupon for free drinks, but my honest review! Got the Classic Boba Milk Tea - one as is, and one without boba and 50% sugar, and they tasted VERY different. I think both the lack of boba, and maybe that the sweetener is mixed with the creamer (unsure) - the 50% sugar one was very watery/less creamy and tea forward. The Classic as is one though was tasty. The much more tasty drink was their mini sample one of Taro with Milk Jelly - super yummy, but the cup was filled 75% with ice! So there was barely any drink :( It's a bit far from us, but if I'm in the area I'll definitely stop by again to try more drinks, especially the mini cups! read more

Why are your fruit teas so TASTELESS?? Whoever has been making the fruit teas these past couple of months has been skimping out on the syrup. It's not one person, it's all yall. I specifically ask for extra sweet knowing yall ain't gonna add any syrup and I still get watered down tea. It's been 5 months now. Just charge extra for syrup but stop giving me this unsweet watered down tea. Been coming here for years and drive 4 miles for good tea. It's such a disappointment when driving back. read more

After going here for a yelp event it has been on my radar to hit it up again. After visiting my mom in the vicinity we headed over. Orders are all taken on the kiosk along with your payment. It is a "No Cash" facility which is actually smart. Avoids possible robberies. It gets a tad confusing but the upside is you can order it exactly as you would like it. The only option missing is the amount of boba you prefer. This girl prefers it light. So, I had to go up and bother the "boba" barista to request less boba. I ordered the ice blended Taro w/crème brûlée, 75% sweet. It was very good but next time I would get it with sweet. Also, still a bit too much boba for me:) *They also have food here and plenty of tables inside if you want to stay in for a bit. *Staff is friendly read more

I came here to catch up with a friend and it's a good spot for that. It's a small space with a couple of bar seats and maybe 5-6 small tables. We came Tuesday afternoon around 2:30 pm and it wasn't that crowded, but it started filling up with students as we were leaving around 4. They have a large selection of teas and slushies as well as some hot food options/snacks as well. There are also interesting sounding drinks like frozen flan and brulee buko pandan smoothie, so I can see why this place is popular. Ordering is all done at the kiosk. It was a hot day out, so I got a refreshing peach mango tea fresca ($4.95 for 16 oz) with easy ice and 50% sweetness. I appreciated being able to customize my drink easily with the kiosk. My drink was exactly what I expected but nothing to write home about. My friend got a strawberry slush and enjoyed that as well, especially the chunks of fresh strawberry inside. read more

We tried this place years ago, as my boyfriend grew up here. They renovated not too long ago, so the space is now more spacious with additional seating. We tried their new Matcha Mango and Brûlée Buko Pandan Smoothie drinks, and I ended up liking the pandan one more because it was creamy, like crème brûlée. I would recommend 50% sugar, as it's quite sweet. The matcha one was more bitter than the mango flavor, but the mango jelly saved the drink. The price is on the expensive side given the portion size. Ordering was easy via the kiosk, so we barely had to talk to the staff. The place was also easy to find, with a parking lot available. read more

I always see photos from fellow Yelpers of pretty Boba drinks so I decided to finally see for myself what the buzz was all about, and Bounce Boba Lounge was the perfect place to start! This family-owned shop specializes in clear, classic, & flavored milk teas in addition to Boba, frozen coffee, fruit smoothies, paninis, and snacks. It is located near CSUN, and it is the perfect place for students to refuel between classes. The vibe of this place is warm & inviting. There are inspirational messages on the wall and a seating area where you can relax while you enjoy your beverage and a snack. You order at the kiosks. Since I'm a boba novice, David was so incredible sweet and helped me navigate the menu. There were so many tasty options to choose from. I finally decided on the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Strawberry Popping Boba and a Frozen Flan. I didn't quite understand the sweetness level scale. (I typically drink my coffee black.) I decided to go with 50% because that is what most of my Yelp friends order. The gal that gave me my beverages when they were ready was also very nice. I liked that they came in sealed containers, so you don't have to worry about spilling your drink. Both were very tasty. I liked the combination of the Strawberry Boba with the Brown Sugar Tea. The flavors complimented each other nicely, and the boba was soft with a little bit of a pop. The frozen flan had a light caramel taste. It was blended and had a swirl of brown sugar sauce at the bottom. They were both dessert in a cup. I rarely drink sweet beverages, so this is not something I'd have every day, but it definitely is a nice indulgence. Next time I need a boba fix I'm gonna bounce on over to Bounce Boba Lounge. *Located in strip mall with plenty of free parking. *Cashless * 1 gallon party pack serves 10 read more

I absolutely love this place! I never thought I would love boba drinks this much. Their drinks are so refreshing. I've purchased the Jasmine Green Tea lychee boba drink twice from this location and each time they tasted great. I have to mix it up next time and try something else on the menu. When I had a question about the menu the service was good both times. The orders are placed on a kiosk which makes interaction with the employees very minimal. The ambiance reminds me of a neighborhood coffee shop where people go to meet up and have a drink (boba drinks) or possibly a co-working location (not sure if it is a co-working space but it reminds me of one). I highly recommend this location especially if you're looking for a great boba location. read more
