5 minutes after getting it.
Yovana M.

Poor service. I got a red bean shaved ice and by the time I got to my car it was already melting. The ice cream was the wrong flavor and also half gone. I have never had a shaved ice drink melt this fast. The employees didn't even acknowledge us when we walked in, I had to ask for a spoon, and they were very unfriendly. That is the reason why I didn't want to go back in and tell them the ice cream flavor was wrong.

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.

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.

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.

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

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)

Laura C.

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.

Green apple slush w/ jelly
Jon R.

Really refreshing, the girls who worked there were nice and friendly. Decent price, parking can bit a little difficult to find but there is also street parking available

Orea Thai tea boba
Ronald C.

My sister and I tried this place once. Overall, pretty good. We ordered the Oreo Thai tea boba, which was a new flavor on their menu. Overall, we were quite impressed with how throughly they grinded the Oreo into small bits. Both the strong milk tea flavor of the Thai tea and the Oreo complement one another very well. Highly recommend ordering this boba flavor.

Erewhon was first on my list to visit when we planned our trip to LA. I had to see what the hype…read morewas about. When we arrived, the security guided us to complimentary limited time parking, which was great because we only stopped in for smoothies. This location was packed! We looked around for a second and then went to order smoothies. We waited about 10 minutes for them to be prepared. While we did enjoy them, $20+ isn't something we'd like to spend on smoothies often. Nice to experience though. Smoothies: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 2/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Location: 4/5

Although I wanted to be a hater, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed exploring Erewhon…read moreand guzzling down the strawberry glaze smoothie. It is a bit surreal being in a grocery store where the mean/median/mode price of something is 10x what it'd be at a normal shop. There's a parking garage right next to this location, but there was also a good amount of street parking nearby. Staff was very friendly! I got an 8 oz. jar of the Summit Trail Mix, which I really liked! It's not too salty and the dried fruits complimented the almonds so well. Enjoyed it so much that I kinda wish I opted for the bigger jar. Also, on top of the already steep price, there's a $3 bottle deposit. Since it was my first time here, the cashier let me know that you can get your deposit back if you bring the bottles/jars back to the store. After making my trail mix purchase, I got the strawberry glaze smoothie. My smoothie was ready pretty quickly. I'm not a big strawberry-flavor lover, but I really enjoyed this smoothie. It was the perfect refreshing drink for hot weather and walking around. I also felt very fitting and pretentious taking sips of my smoothie while strolling around Melrose. I definitely have to go back next time I'm in LA.. to get my bottle deposit back of course..

First timer but very impressed. After a Jiu Jitsu session, this was the perfect way to recover as it was refreshing and I felt the recovery happening as I was getting restored primarily from the coconut water and acai. I highly recommend the Melrose Special and adding acai if you want extra superpowers from this exotic fruit! I also bought the CBD sparkling water, cold brew, and Oregon spring water. I'm definitely looking forward to visiting Melrose Place again to try all the other drinks.

Melrose Squeeze absolutely exceeded expectations…read more We stopped in after a morning out in Los Angeles hiking Runyon Canyon and were blown away. The smoothies were some of the best I've had in LA -- incredibly fresh, balanced, and flavorful. We tried the Tony Special, the Melrose Special, and the Coconut Cardamom, and each one was fantastic in its own way. What made the experience even better was the service. Vahe, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and attentive. He made us feel right at home and clearly takes pride in what he serves, giving us a few free samples of his favorite items! We also had wheatgrass shots for our friend Nando's mother, who is visiting Los Angeles from Portugal for the first time -- and it was such a fun, memorable experience for her. Fresh ingredients, amazing smoothies, and exceptional hospitality. We'll absolutely be back.

Obsessed. Stopped…read moreby here for a quick bite during the week and loved it! So many shops and a lot of variety to choose from/shop at. Since it was a week day, not crowded! That was the best. Stopped by a dog food shop to get the fur babies some treats, a smoothie place (delicious), a pickle spot where I bought the sliced pickles in a honey mustard pickle juice (obsessed with these!), empanadas (the best here) and a bakery where a friend got some cookies to go. I have to go back when I have more time to thoroughly explore and enjoy checking out all the shops. A must stop by when in the area! Just beware, it is crowded during the weekend!

I was reading about places to check out during my visit to this area…read more I had no idea this place existed, I was told this little area is right by The Grove. I was drawn to come check this place out since it has been around for quite some time. It seemed to have everything there: candy shops, baked goods, pizza, ice cream, fried chicken, burgers, deli's, salad, empanadas, seafood, dumplings.. the list goes on. If you are ever in the area and you want to grab a snack or a meal, this is a great place to visit. I think parking is free for 90 minutes if you get it validated by a merchant inside. I wish I had more time there, but I will definitely go back when in this area. I ate at Magee's Kitchen and my niece got pizza. Both were pretty delicious. Prices seemed a little steep to me, but that was expected. I bought some candy fruit slices for my sister. Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Food: 5/5
