    Original Acai Bowl
    Fluffeh L.

    Phenomenal costumer service. I asked if they were hiring and the staff were very open to the question! The boba tasted great. I liked the ombré look it had (before I mixed it lol). The place is clean and well lit. Cute LED decoration on the wall. If you don't want a sugary drink I recommend the Sunset iced tea with 25% sweetness. It has jasmine and is caffeine free!

    So many flavor options

    I was eager about visiting this place because their menu looks fun (and it is). It's a small & lowkey place but very clean and the service is quick. You can either use the kiosk to order or go to the counter and tell one of the workers what you want. I would rate it as 3.5 but there's no option for half a star so gave it 4 instead of dragging it down to 3 stars. The reason why I think this place isn't exactly a 5-star boba place is the flavor richness. The matcha milk tea boba was so diluted that you can barely taste the matcha. I felt like I was drinking matcha flavored water with boba. I'm not sure if I would ever come back to give it a second shot, but I was underwhelmed by the washed out flavor so I'm not too eager to go back. I hope that the owners see this review and maybe just work on their recipes a bit to make the flavors richer. If they can fix that issue I think this boba shop can actually be one of the best ones in town since they offer so many flavor and boba varieties so it's a fun place to be for boba.

    First time here, and I loved it! I ordered the milk tea Boba and the red velvet macaroon. The Boba was amazing, I loved the brown sugar boba pearls and the milk tea. The macaroon was ok, it didn't taste fresh and it was a little bit chewy but next time I'll get a different flavor hopefully it's better. The place was very clean, the staff were very nice, fast service.I will definitely come back.

    First time here and staff is very friendly. It's pretty close to work since I work at the Kaiser Hospital down the street. Location in in the same lot as Chik Fil A. I bought the Peach Lychee Fruit Tea and it's very refreshing. They didn't add too much Ice which is Perfect! I will most likely come back to try the other items on the menu. Curios about the Grapefruit Iced Tea.

    Highly recommend this delicious boba place! Many different drinks are offered and the staff is SO friendly and care about their customers/drink quality. Thank you so much for creating a welcoming and chill environment! Will definitely be added to my go-to list!

    Been to quite a few Boba Spots around Los Angeles and I was beyond excited for the Downey location to open for quite some time. From the time I arrived to my departure, I was greeted with an amazing service from all the staff members during my visit. Everyone was professional, kind and efficient in the efforts as a team and I think this location has the potential to strive in this community. Overall, the ambiance and vibe of the store was upbeat, yet chill. Most importantly, the staff made me and my friends feel welcomed into the store. Something I hope for the team to continue to carry on as they begin their new journey at this location. Excited to return here and wish the team the best of luck and thank you the It's Boba Time Downey team!! Service - 5* (Great staff, friendly vibes, amazing energy!) Interior - 5* (Yes, it's brand new, but I always have to admire and appreciate a clean store!!!) Location - 5* (Located in a spot where there's a lot of things to enjoy but you should pass by Boba Time Downey for your Boba Fix!)

    marcus and mike

    This boba place is impeccable I enjoy going every single day and talking to all the staff members. Marcus and Mike are quite honestly the best workers you'll ever meet. they are super sweet and kind to all the customers. he is fun to talk to and whips up some 10/10 boba. Every time I go there is never a disappointment they all treat me and my friend with care there is never a day that has gone where we didn't get amazing service. He has given me some new drink recommendations and each is better than the last. Make sure to come and check out this boba place and meet these beautiful and kind people. This Boba time spot also has a beautiful interior and exterior SO MAKE SURE TO CHECK THIS BOBA PLACE OUT!!!!!

    Amazing staff, everything is always so gooood!!!!!! Always a go to and definitely a stop before going home.

    See all

I've ordered hot coffee and iced coffee but this last visit I tried their cookie butter latte and it was delicious. It wasn't too sweet and they had a generous amount of cookie crumble on top. I also feel that they were generous with the coffee. Some places put a lot of ice and you take a couple sips and it's done. This wasn't the case. Thank you. The cashier was friendly as well, she took the time to explain their hours. We ordered our drinks and they were ready in a few minutes. I would definitely come back and I'd like to try another specialty drink. I really like that they are located inside SteelCraft and you can take your drink and baked goods inside to sit down and enjoy music, movies, or just conversation.

Sometimes it was sweet, sometimes it was bitter. So I stopped coming since it's on the other side of town. I probably drop by once a month nowadays and the flavor is there! They have sweet bread available. Aside from their regular menu, they have a monthly menu that features the month. In December, they have "Christmas" drinks whereas in June, they have "summer"drinks .. it just varies from month to month. Parking is free since it's part of the Bellflower Steelcraft. I feel they make drinks quick, I usually wait less than 5 mins for my drinks. Our usual orders consist of: kids iced mocha, cafe de olla, & the iced cookie butter latte. Oh! Plus you have an option of adding cute art on some of the drinks for a dollar! I've had hello kitty, pochacco, snoopy with a soccer ball & text Mexico

Venue: beautiful, clean, and spacious with plenty of seating for families and friends to gather comfortably. It's conveniently located inside a shopping center with lots of parking available, which made our visit even easier. Ambiance: We absolutely loved the ambiance! The mariachi music playing in the background truly brought the whole experience together and perfectly represented the spirit and name of the location. Food: everything was fresh, delicious, and perfectly balanced in flavor without being overly sweet. We ordered the chocolate croissant, Abuelita's rosca, elote fino, and a fried pulled pork empanada with green sauce. Every item was flavorful and satisfying. The café de olla was warm, comforting, and just the right amount of sweet. Overall, my family and I had a wonderful experience and truly enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be returning for more pan dulce, delicious food, and maybe even try one of the cold brews next time. Highly recommend!

I use to be able to order ahead and now that's not available or it's pushed out an hour or more, if they're super busy I'd understand but I've arrived at the shop and empty, so that's crazy to me!!l The place itself seems to get a new look every time and mood is nice but service and drinks have taken a hit. One thing that is still delicious is the tomato pesto croissant. That's it.
