    In-person quick friendly service or option to order from an automated self-serve kiosk. Everything was clean and all the options are properly displayed. There's a large selection of slushies, smoothies, teas with a variety of toppings like boba, pudding, jelly, fruit etc. Dairy and non-dairy options. Some pastries and fried foods. We ordered the taro smoothie, coconut slush, brown sugar tea with boba, coconut pudding, and mango jelly. Everything we ordered tasted great and not super sweet and size for the price was not bad at all.

    It's Boba Time is pretty consistent between locations. My group got the peach lychee fruit tea with mango popping boba, the taro milk tea with boba, the matcha tornado (cookies and cream with matcha), and the hibiscus berry lemonade tea with strawberry boba. We've never had the matcha tornado before and it was very sweet but good. For the peach lychee fruit tea, there was a lot of pulp/fruit pieces. Boba toppings are .75 cents extra and a large size (vs a regular) is .50 cents extra. The service was quick and nice. There are about 3 tables inside to eat, 1 2-seater and 2 bench-style seats.

    We love Boba Time!!! Whenever we see one (it's part of a chain), we always get drinks there. My kids are more adventurous and try different drinks every time. Me not so much. I always get the same thing... either the Taro smoothie or Mango smoothie. Hey, I'm a creature of habit. But either way, we always go away feeling cool and refreshed!

    Stopped by here during lunch time. We were next door having a quick lunch at Panda Express and wanted to get some boba drinks. We ordered the Thai tea boba and taro milk tea boba drinks. Both drinks were not bad, except the taro one tasted pretty watered down. Service wasn't good. Our drinks were done and ready, but they just let it sit at the counter for a while. There were enough staff in the back to complete our order instead of waiting for the front staff to do everything. Not sure if we would come back to this location. Their macarons and other desserts didn't look appealing either. It cost $2.50/macaron which isn't too pricey.

    Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea

    This boba place was not what I expected. Don't let the long lines and crowds of people coming here give you FOMO to come here. It's not really boba or at least that what I tasted. On a Friday night this movie theatre area on Main and Garfield is very busy. Full of movie goers and people who just came from a movie. First thing people do is wither grab something before a show or after as a snack. Inside this store was packed of people waiting for their orders. There were only 2 guys working there. Once people got their orders the place started to clear, otherwise this place can feel claustrophobic. I tried their Strawberry Match drink on their Top 10 menu item list. It was tasteless. It was as if I was drinking milk in a cup of ice. No Matcha flavor and no taste of Strawberry at all! I opted for a regular size since a large would be an investment. Glad I did not go for a size up. Their regular size for the price was steep! Also tried a macaron while I was there. They were just there staring out in front of the display case in its array of colors. I chose earl grey since it has a nice subtle taste and it was in this color blue color. Sadly it did not have any earl grey taste at all... it tastes like a chocolate soft cookie with a vanilla center dyed in blue color. I think if you go for other drink flavors that have a popular distinct taste like "oreo" then the drink would be ok. Otherwise, I would steer clear of this place. If you want real matcha taste go across the street to 7 Leaves! It's much better.

    i forgot how good its boba time actually is. i tend to overlook this place with all the other tea places in the area, but this place is a perfect alternative for people with children. they offer non caffeinated drinks and is on doordash

    New boba shop just opened in front of the theater. I get my usual at it's boba time, thai tea with boba and hubby got the boba coffee. We both enjoyed the drink we each got. I personally did not like the boba coffee. It was a bit bitter not that sweet. I have yet to try other drinks here, but their boba is so-so. Their boba is smaller than normal and not as small as a mini boba. I don't prefer this unusual size boba and it can be cooked a bit more. Overall decent boba place and would come by when I have boba cravings in that area.

    Just opened and we couldn't be happier

    TL;DR: this is THE best place to get an acai bowl in the area. No limits on toppings, delicious and…read morefresh ingredients, cordial and prompt service. Writing this review because after being sorely disappointed from another acai bowl, this perfect bowl was soooooo satisfying. I like that they layer in the granola on the bottom and the top, because it acts as an insulator that helps keep the bowl frozen longer! The fruit was ripe and sweet, the honey and agave drizzled on top of all types of coconut (raw, sweetened, toasted, shredded), and bee pollen. The service is polite, friendly, and efficient. The spot is small but looks modern and clean. Parking lot is a bit chaotic, but it's in a plaza so you can park on the other side that has lots of space and walk over!

    This place is long overdue for a 5 star review! I've been going to Acai Joint for the past few…read moreyears and each time has always been a 10/10 in terms of product quality and service. You can't go wrong with either a build-your-own açai bowl or smoothie (personal fav either the Cloud 9 or Zendaya's Smoothie -- I can't pick hehe!). Also a plus with the free whey protein boost when you want to hit your macros for the day! Presentation is also very aesthetic so if you love taking food pics as much as I do, you'll never be disappointed here . The staff here are also very friendly so I always feel welcomed to mix up my bowls :)

We went in to get two different flavors: - Pineapple ginger -lime, and lemon She added those flavors on at no additional cost, just as an additional solid for us. Really great, really refreshing. One of the best fresh cane juices we've had in a long time. Highly recommend if you're looking for something to quench your thirst during this hot summer sun. Service was really quick as well, and the ambience was really nice on the inside. Not a lot of space to drink inside, but plenty of space to drink outside. Highly recommend, 10 out of 10.

    I've tried a lot of sugarcane juice around LA, and Fresh Cane immediately stood out from the first…read moresip. The biggest difference? They use fresh sugarcane instead of frozen, and if you've had enough sugarcane juice, you can absolutely taste it. The flavor here is richer, earthier, and more complex than places like Vita Cane. Even the color is different. It's a little murkier and less transparent, which was my first clue that this was going to taste different. My husband and I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and were surprised to find no line. Ordering is done through a tablet kiosk at the front, and as soon as we finished placing our order, the woman working immediately started making everything fresh. We ordered the Sugar Cane Float to enjoy there and a half gallon of sugarcane juice to bring home. The float was unexpectedly good! Better than anticipated. We chose vanilla ice cream (they also had coconut, coffee, and another flavor I can't remember), and the two scoops melted into the sugarcane juice, giving it a creamy, almost milkshake-like texture while still tasting refreshing. I've never seen this offered at Vita Cane before, and now I'm already planning to come back to try the coconut version. The shop itself is very clean, with bench seating by the front windows if you'd like to wait for your order or enjoy your drink there. The woman working was also incredibly kind. When our half gallon was ready, she recommended portioning it out and freezing anything we wouldn't drink within three days so it would stay fresh. Good advice... except we ended up finishing the entire thing in two days! If you're a sugarcane juice fan and think all sugarcane juice tastes the same, Fresh Cane might change your mind. The difference between fresh and frozen cane is surprisingly noticeable, and this has easily become one of my favorite spots in SGV for a refreshing drink.
