Boba Time was a quick pit stop on the way to LAX. I appreciated the ease of parking, cleanliness of the restaurant, and the amount of options and substitutes! Any boba lover will find something they like here. The house milk tea w/ soy milk 100% sweet was just okay for me. It was good but not great. I would try something else next time I come to this spot.

I believe I've been to their Irvine location before, but this was my first time at this (newly opened) location. There were only two workers and when me and my two friends got there, the store was relatively empty. The dude that was taking the orders seemed exasperated and just exhausted in general, but I've worked in the food industry before and I know how taxing late-night shifts can be, so giving him some grace for that. He still took our orders and got them out as soon as possible so definitely grateful for that. The drinks themselves were pretty great. They have so much variety, and they even have a top 20 fan favorites, which is helpful when you're undecided and don't know what to try. I am mega basiq, so I decided to go for the ol' reliable Cookies 'n' Cream and even went ahead and added, as a topping, an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream, 'cause this is America after all, haha.

Plastic residue that fell in a cup from poking the lid while I was drinking it and had to spit. It out.

I'm Very disappointed in the service and safety they provide. I ordered a drink that was delivered. I got the drink and when I sat down to drink it, I poked the straw to the top of the lid. What I thought was Boba was actually plastic residue from the lid . I called the store and they were very aware of the situation and said it was a manufacturing issue yet they still sold it . I also called corporate and they are also aware of the issue and said they were gonna reach out to the manufacturer to correct it. After I reached out to corporate, they told me to reach out to the store because it was a franchise so I did. I didn't get sick or had to go to the emergency department but I did feel something wasn't right in my throat ... I emailed them over five times. No response got no response. I called the store multiple times asking me for the owner leaving a message. Still no response. at this point now I'm leaving a review because they obviously don't care about any safety regulations, and knowing that there was a defective product and still sold it to me is horrendous criminal and a disgusting way to run a business. Here is proof and evidence of the plastic cup with the plastic pieces or some of the plastic pieces I swallowed.

Tiramisu crepe with mold

There was MOLD ON CAKES. I ordered a drink and a slice of tiramisu crepe cake. The drink was good. The cake however had MOLD. Meaning they just let the cake sit there in the shelf and didn't bother checking. It made me really nauseous afterwards. Will not be coming back here.

House Milk Tea, black sugar milk tea
Jenna L.

Ordered through DoorDash for pickup, and our drink was fantastic! Ready to pick up when we got there, and the staff (2 in the front, 1 making drinks) were super welcoming What we got: black sugar milk tea w/ 50% sweetness and regular boba, regular milk tea w/ 50% sweetness - both drinks were fantastic! Could have used a little less boba, but there's an option to adjust, so we will do light boba next time~ but the taste was amazing - regular size is $5.70 + $0.75 for large size Small store, so not much place to sit (actually not sure if I noticed any, but just grabbed in/out), but you can park in their lot if there's space (~6-10 parking spots). Great location because there's not much boba around 3rd street, except OneZo but that's in the mall and super $$ (7-8 for a drink)

They have really best and delicious boba I ever try, the employees were very kind. I recommend this place.

Parking: There's a small lot for the building right in front, otherwise, there's metered parking along 3rd. If you come during the daytime, you can find 2 hour parking on the nearby neighborhood streets along Sweetzer. Experience: Fast service and wide menu. They have milk tea, fruit tea, smoothies,m, milkshakes, frappes, pretty much any kind of drink you'd want in any flavor. They also had other desserts and acai bowls. I feel like their prices were also more reasonable than other boba places. I've only gotten their milk teas with boba so far, but everything sounds delicious! The restaurant is pretty much a storefront, so I wouldn't suggest coming here to sit and drink, but it's definitely a great to-go spot.

Taro milk tea with strawberry and mango boba
Fazil A.

This place was a bit overwhelmed when we showed up on a Sunday. I'm not much of a boba a·fi·ci·o·na·do but this place seems good. Be careful of people in front of you ordering smoothies or milkshakes or things like that. The staff can't seem to handle that. But we ordered boba simple and out drinks came out pretty quick.

You can genuinely taste the difference here because everything is made fresh to order with real ingredients. None of the artificial, overly sweet stuff you get at chain smoothie places. I love that they don't add sugar, so the natural flavors of the fruit actually shine through. Every smoothie I've had has been consistently delicious. The owner is also one of the sweetest people you'll meet. He's been running this little shop for years, and you can tell how much love and care goes into everything they make. It's the kind of small family-owned business that makes Melrose feel special, and I always leave happier than when I walked in. If you're shopping on Melrose, skip the big chains and stop here instead. Great smoothies, fresh ingredients, kind people, and supporting a local mom-and-pop business is always a win. I recommend this place to everyone!

The good news was that no one got hurt and that he didn't hit the storefront. Jamie W and I were just here over PRIDE weekend, so I know how popular this place can get. It's WeHo after all, and I just presume smoothies and açaí bowls are part of the required diet around here. Well, it wasn't nutritional value that drove us (...you should pardon the expression) but more likely a guilty conscience from our weekend debauchery. The menu was as expected. Jamie went for the $15.95 Açaí Superberry Bowl, an immaculately organized container filled with açai, blueberry, banana, cinnamon, sea salt and almond milk topped with honey, granola, fresh berries, coconut flakes (Photo 9). As expected, it was delicious and quite filling. My stomach wasn't feeling as ambitious, so I ordered the $13.95 Chocolate Supreme Smoothie, a refreshing and suitably thick blend of banana, almond butter, cacao, oat milk, maca, and their own plant protein (Photo 10). That was enough healthfulness for me. I believe there's a giant margarita at Fiesta Cantina waiting for me.

I went with a couple of friends for dinner- we were around the area and thought it was an opportune time to show them a place they weren't familiar with! I've been here since I was a kid, and though some things changed, alot hasn't! This was during a world cup game, so it was very lively at pub areas as they were broadcasting live. Everyone was so invested, from the patrons, chefs, servers, and even line cooks! Went to a stall selling the 'best corned beef sandwich' from Magee's kitchen. The servers and cook were super nice and the corned beef on display made my mouth water! It was very good, and paired with their blood orange soda, wasn't too heavy! It was a big enough sandwich that I took the other half home! I also got a cornbread muffin from Gumbo pot- which was good but a little dry. There's plenty of shade, though the area is mostly outdoors- lots of trees and buildings with covers and awnings. There's a fancy French market in there and plenty of eating options (though open hours vary). Come by this historic stop, walk through the Grove, and enjoy the hustle and bustle!

I would even say that my early visits at this place introduced me to some new cuisines from different countries. Just a solid place to eat at whether or not you are going to the Grove. I will say that the parking situation is shared with the grove so it could get a little hectic. And the place can get really crowded.
