    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.

    Peach Lychee Fruit Iced Tea

    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

I ordered a harissa chicken salad and the guy grabbed one directly from the fridge. I took it to-go and didn't think much of it, but when I opened it a little later, I found mold in the bowl (that's after I already started to blend the salad and ate a few bites). I don't know how much mold was there and how long has it been there, but felt very grossed out. Then I took a look at the date on the package - it was packed on 3/8, and today is already 3/12! Unfortunately I was already too far to go back to them. But I just can't believe they were charging a 4-day-old salad $13 pre tax as if it were fresh. I think I'd probably do better with fast food salad. Now I'm also worried about getting sick from the bites I took. I definitely won't come back. Who knows what do they put in their smoothies..: The additional star is for a wrap I got a while ago that tasted good.

(Better than Vita Cane in my opinion) All natural juices, no added sugars, no preservatives, made fresh daily! Half Cane Half Coco (half sugar cane and half coconut, large, iced, $9 plus tax) The sugar cane flavor was super prominent, and it tasted so good! It also comes with a few pieces of coconut. Glad that they didn't add too much ice. Would have loved to get it without ice, but $15 for a large without ice is quite pricey. They also have a special deal for the day, not sure how often they change the deals, but you could get a medium drink of their special for $5.50 which is not bad! The special for today was the pineapple sugarcane. The menu is not super big, which I like, while still having a good number of options. They have a kiosk for you to order or you can order with the staff. The staff member was nice to give me some recs when I asked what's popular. They also have dehydrated chili mango for sale on the side for $6.50 per container. The inside was nice and clean. I don't recall if there are seats. It's mostly an order-and-go type of place. It wasn't busy when I went around 1pm, and the drink only took 3 minutes to be ready! Lots of parking spaces in the parking lot shared with other businesses. Fresh Cane has its own reserved parking right in front of their store, so that was very convenient! Never knew a store like this existed so close to me!! I was in desperate need of hydration, so I decided to check this place out and I'm so glad I did! Highly recommend!!
