    If I could put 0 stars I would!!!!! The worker had a nasty attitude there was 2 men at the time of my visit! There was one doing the drinks and one being a cashier he completely had the worst attitude and worst customer service ever! I sincerely hate when people have a nasty ugly attitude towards customers because if you didn't want to work today why even show up? Some people take their hard earned money to try and treat themselves the man being a cashier was talking to me like I was stupid!! He needs to get fired Asap!!!! To top it off that they put my drink in an open lid container this is so crazy! I'm currently sitting outside in the parking lot writing this review! Extremely disappointed Do not come here!!!! He looked so mad doing his job and he went to the back to help the other man make drinks i will not be consuming this knowing that man did everything with a nasty attitude! DO NOT COME HERE

    09/25/2024 Finally, a new boba place is now open. Soft Opening so please be patient as they fine tune things. The boba is soft and the matcha powder is strong. Right amount of milk and ice. I like trying the drink before i Shake things up. You can order at the kiosk or at the counter. They have a QR code to order online. Please excuse the person who was first to review. It may be a chain but I think you can say it is franchised. Individually owned with the same concept for service. That means some training to get the employees up to speed and practice to get the service you saw at another location. I do Hope they let me know when they have their Grand Opening so i could participate. I wonder if I could camp out here to work remote or start a study group.

    Shoutout to Lupe O. For always making our visits so pleasant and having such great customer service and a smile on her face. I've been to 3 different boba times and they could never make my bfs boba drink the way he likes aside from this location so this is always our go to! This location is just amazing if I can give more than 5 stars I would and it's always so spotless and clean.

    Large caramel frappe and a Butterfly Lemonade so delicious!!!

    Glendale was my go to spot for this brand since I always hung out at the galleria after a software engineering thing at Disneyland in Burbank.

    Ahma is singlehandedly the best coffee experience I've ever had in my life…read more Josh and team take care of you from the moment you walk into their home, where you not only feel like a valued customer, but a part of their family. Perhaps because, yes, it is their literal home (which, of course, has an incredibly relaxing vibe that provides the familiar feeling of visiting a relative or cousin's home, or perhaps dare I say, even "Ahma's" (Grandma's) home). Now to the actual bread and butter: the thoughtfulness of the pairings was next level. But that was somehow topped by the painstaking precision and craftsmanship of Josh and his coffees. He brews them all with not only the utmost accuracy of temperature and ratios, but provides unique and never-before-tasted flavors, with the greatest of passion poured into every drop. I mean, I swear you can taste the actual love he put in there. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this unique experience in the greater Los Angeles area. Ahma is THE BEST!

    Wow I'm blown away at how much fun I had at Ahma!!…read more Me and 3 friends (4 total) came for an amazing 5 course experience and it was so educational and new. We were hosted by Josh and Mei, who are both lovely people by the way, and we got to try a beautifully crafted 5 course tasting menu. The coffee pairing with small bites was very very cute and hearing Josh's inspiration behind each ingredient, dish, idea was so special. You can really tell the attention to detail - they provide lactaid when milk is present, there's optional ice cubes for certain drinks, the bathroom is fully stocked with hand towels, lotion, etc. and the space is very beautifully decorated to be warm and inviting. 100% recommend to whoever is planning a date, girls hangout, or if you and your friends just enjoy coffee. The whole experience is about 2 hours, you walk away learning so much, very full of delicious homemade food, and just super happy. There is only 1 gender neutral restroom as ahma is hosted inside a home. Shoes off at the door, they will give you clean indoor slippers. Parking on the street is free and easy.

Workers are always friendly and give great recommendations. I have been here numerous times, and my favorite items have been their lychee tonic (though on the pricier end for $9) and the Fist Bump (small black sesame breve), but I also love their hot flat white, as it has the balance of their strong and smooth espresso flavor with the perfect balance of milk. I have also enjoyed the Cloudy, which has subtle notes of red date and pear with a cream top. The drink was nicely balanced and not too sweet. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their coffee drinks, which have strong coffee notes. I also love their coffee cakes, which tend to sell out pretty quickly by midday. The cake is rich and moist with a nice cinnamon-sugar top and pairs nicely with coffee. They have plenty of parking in the back lot. Definitely check them out if you're in the area!

I was in the area on a weekday and decided to stop by before work to grab a coffee. I went at around 8:30 AM and it was busy with many folks doing work. After looking at the menu, I had a hard time trying to figure out what to get given the selection! I asked for a recommendation between drinks and they mentioned if I want a hot drink - Miso White would be good; for a cold drink - Lychee Tonic would be ideal. It was a hotter day, so I opted for the Lychee Tonic. Since it was busy, the wait was ~ 10 minutes for the drink. After giving it a try, it tasted refreshing but I didn't really get the lychee taste. Not the best first impression with the tonic. However, I'd still consider coming back considering their ambience. Also absolutely interested to try their pour over options! Parking is available in the back of the building. American Express is accepted here.
