Service is too effing slow, and orders take a while to come out. The restroom has also had an "Out of Order" sign for god knows how long it's there every time we come in. I understand they may be understaffed and don't want the extra cleanup, but at this point, it's annoying as hell. Hire more employees and fix that fuckin restroom you cheap bastards! read more

Before we step into Regal Edwards Renaissance movie theater, we went to It's Boba time to get a freshment drink. They sell smothies,shakes,slush,milk tea iced tea and other drink... My wife and I decided to order an acai bowl, a very popular healthy breakfast or any snack or meal. l enjoyed acai, especially contain dragonfruit, a very popular fruit that's very healthy and sweet. I ordered a Dragonfruit Acai bowl, and then my wife ordered a PB Acai. It has peanut butter on top of the acai. My Dragonfruit Acai bowl was really with fresh fruit like banana,strawberries,and blueberries. They were very good in other items like coconut flakes and granola and alse honey, and it was good. My wife, PJ Acai, tasted very good with a good amazing flavor, adding PB on top of the Acai even though I took a bite very good and other level of flavor. Overall, we enjoy it. It's Boba time. We need to go back to try their other items. read more

First time trying It's Boba Time in Alhambra and overall, a solid experience! My husband ordered the Jasmine milk tea with boba and said it was perfect not too sweet and just the right amount of ice to cool off in the heat. I got the original Açaí (asked for no honey) and it was awesome sweet enough on its own and super refreshing. I do want to come back and try the dragon fruit Açaí next time! Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the customer service it was okay. Everyone seemed busy doing their own thing and didn't pay much attention to the customers. I also asked for no ice and still got it with ice, but oh well, it was still tasty and my husband really enjoyed his drink. Will definitely return to try more! read more

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. read more

Popped in while picking up lunch from next door. This location used to be a Menchie's Frozen Yogurt up until a few years ago, so I was curious about how it looks now. Was warmly greeted as I walked in...I was the only customer there as it was lunchtime on a weekday. The kind cashier took my order and I truly appreciated his genuine and personable attitude. It seemed that he may have been rather new to the job as he had to confirm some information with the manager-on-duty about my transaction. Needless to say, he left a positive first-impression about this business. The menu is extensive so luckily I did some research beforehand...decided on two drinks: the Galaxy and Coconut Strawberry Smoothie (both with boba). Drinks tasted great and I'm looking forward to a return visit soon. There is a ton of options for an indulgent treats such as this in the area but I can see why this brand has a following. Plenty of parking in the structure attached to the movie theater or street parking. A nice addition to the downtown Alhambra area. read more

this place is genuinely hot ass bro , I got the banana matcha more than once and every time I get it that shit taste worse and worse and it only taste bad from this one .. they had me waiting for like 20 minutes for a cup of bullshit. Please do not go here if you don't want watery and nasty ass matcha read more

Visited yesterday around 4:30 pm. Ordered a pistachio milk tea and a Thai tea the drinks were good can't complain. But the service was poor, the lady with pink (ALICE) dyed hair was rude. Asked her for the restroom code 3x i know she heard me but was ignoring me. wasn't even loud in the store for her not to hear me say "excuse me". 3x After a while my friend and I were chatting she kept walking by giving us weird looks. As if she was rushing us to go read more

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. read more

Worst "It's Boba Time" I've ever been to . I was in the area and so I decided to try this "It's Boba Time" in Alhambra, because I'm used to the brand and their House Milk Tea is usually really delicious. Unfortunately the House Milk Tea at this location tasted absolutely awful. It tasted like tea flavored water with boba. The boba itself was good, but the beverage itself was incredibly disappointing. The service was good, the gentleman who helped me was really friendly and helpful. Other than their only public restroom being out of service during my visit, the atmosphere and cleanliness of the facility was very nice read more

Staff are nice. I ordered popcorn chicken but it has no taste. But it's tender. I like the other place its tasteful. read more

Just to start off, this place is bad. Not only do they mess up a simple drink order every time, it's always bitter and never sweet. Just got a drink from here and I like to give them the benefit of the doubt but the boba was literally stuck together and undrinkable. Poured the matcha milk tea I got down the sink cause not only was it bitter, the boba was literally 80% stuck together and they literally had to be pulled apart to even thought about being consumed. Would not recommend. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

It's finally open! Located right next to the movie theater in Alhambra on Main and Garfield. Perfect pairing for family days. We have been eagerly awaiting the opening of Its Boba Time. Seeing the remodeling and the lights go on have been such a tease to witness. After all of our waiting, of course they officially open while we were on vacation last week. Even though we missed the grand opening, it was a happy discovery to find business booming and be able to grab a drink before our Sunday family movie. With so many boba and tea shops in the area, at least 6 within a mile radius, I wasn't sure that one more shop was needed. We love Its Boba Time for their quality teas and flavor, and are happy to put this location in our rotation. The service was fast and the drinks, delicious as always. Was seriously tempted to return for a second drink after the movie. The employees better get used to seeing us! read more

this place is literally AWFUL and so unprofessional... there are basically no separate lines for picking up online orders and in person ordering. on top of that, you have employees (i think her name was nancy?) making free drinks for their entire families instead of taking customers orders. there was literally no one on register until 5 minutes later with no one to make drinks but there were maybe an additional 3 employees ALL on their breaks in the back. one of the worst locations i've been to it's like this every single time... read more

It's not my first time ordering from Boba Time. My go to drink is an avocado smoothie. The drinks are always perfect, EXCEPT TODAY! Today I was too lazy to go outside in the hot weather, so I ordered it from DoorDash. However, the smoothie tasted grainy. I tried receiving help from DoorDash but stupid AI said they can't help. I called the store 3x and they didn't answer the phone. I am not happy and is very angry when I was hoping to enjoy a cold drink in this hot weather! read more

If you want another loaded drink, today I tried the Oreo Thai Milk Tea and I was WIRED the entire day and now I'm scared to try and sleep at night because good luck to me with all that caffeine and sugar right? Worth it. Even with zero sweetness it's sweet enough. read more

I had dinner in the same plaza and wanted some drinks/desserts to end the night. In general I thought It's Boba Time is so-so and although this is my first time visiting this location, it will be my last time. I ordered an almond milk tea and it was watered down. Also bought one vanilla flavored macaron to try, which is mediocre. There are other choices in the city for better drinks and desserts. read more

It's Boba Time in Alhambra is a delightful spot for any boba lover. While it didn't quite blow me away, it's certainly a solid choice for satisfying those cravings. The menu boasts an impressive variety of flavors, from classic milk teas to more adventurous blends. The option to customize your drink with various toppings is a nice touch, allowing you to tailor it to your taste. Service is what you expect from a franchise boba place, not bad/not good. The ambiance can get crowded with a smaller space but plenty of places to chill right outside. Also free parking always helps! read more

Finally! A boba spot that opened right next to the theater! Cute little space w/ about 8 stools inside. Stopped by here to grab a quick drink before dinner. The service was quick and cashiers were patient. We ordered the Horchata smoothie and mango slush. It was my first time w/ the Horchata smoothie - omg so good! I devoured that thing in no time!

I've been seeing locations all over SoCal for some time now and decided to finally give it a go. The menu is HUGE...I love that there's a bunch of options. I decided to go with the Strawberry Matcha which was part of their Top 10 most popular drinks and my fiancé got the Dirty Matcha. Drinks: -Strawberry Matcha: It was decent, nothing too special about it. There was a nice strawberry flavor but the quality of the match is just okay. It was nice cause you can add 1 scoop of boba for free...but the boba was pretty bad. The first time in my life I wish I didn't add boba to my drink. The texture of the boba was just bad. The first mouthful had no chew to it at all, it just kinda disintegrated which was weird. The second mouthful had a few better pieces that were slightly chewy. Also, not sure if it's just me but the size of the boba is smaller than most. I'm personally not a fan of mini boba which could also be why I didn't enjoy it. -Dirty Matcha: This drink was underwhelming. It was super watered down and you can barely taste the coffee. If you want coffee at a boba shop, walk to Magik Milk...they have a good coffee option for you coffee lovers. I'm sad to be leaving my first bad review, but there's more cons I could think of than pros. Idk if I'd give it another try especially since there's a bunch of other boba shops in the area...I'd rather spend the $6ish for good quality drinks. read more

Small boba shop next to the movie theatre. There are lots of choices but unfortunately the service was slow and teas were not good. We ordered the peach strawberry fruit tea and guava ice tea. Our drinks tasted like water, you cannot taste the tea and it wasn't sweet, even though I asked for full sweet. It literally tasted like water mixed with a little bit was syrup. My daughter enjoyed her guava slushy, so maybe their non-tea items are better. read more

i love coming to this location because is close to my job and the kids love it and are allowed to have it . the reason why i'm giving it 1 star is because of the customer service . i know that the drinks we order don't have milk , but i always everywhere i go to be extra careful because the little girl is allergic to Milk . and believe me when i tell you she is SUPER allergic . so my only thing is don't be rude when people tell you to be careful . if you have only seen what i have seen with her allergies being so high , maybe people would understand. other than that we love boba :) read more

They also have a variety of drinks to choose from. Overall 4 out of 5 in my books. read more

The ambiance was nice. The food was decent, can't complain about it. However, the service was subpar and needs much improvement. The woman with faded purple hair was unprofessional and appeared to be extremely unhappy to be there. Her demeanor was off-putting and overall largely negative. I saw other reviews that also mentioned her unpleasant attitude, but it wasn't until I experienced it firsthand that I realized how badly affected my experience here. read more
