Honey Lemon Black Tea (TikTok: @justandyvu)
Andy V.

1. The drink tasted as delicious and refreshing as the ones ordered at other locations! 2. The spot has fast casual vibes! 3. There are inside seatings available! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! 5. Parking lot is small, and street parking is available! Note: There is a single restroom for customers! Photo: Honey Lemon Black Tea

Thai tea, mango shaved ice and mango smoothie with extras.
kimberly C.

Great little place to get a little sweetness after having bcd tofu. We had a mango smoothie - thumbs up from my 12 yr old -got a little extra boba and crystal jelly, Thai tea with boba ( made someone teeth turn a little orange-a little strong to me) and a mango shaved ice. We ordered regular with came in a 16 oz cup- ice on bottom, mango chunks and purée, crystal boba, condensed milk and a small scoop of mango ice cream. We all seemed to enjoy this one. It wasn't too packed at 9:00 p - good seats to enjoy. Best price - it was all less than $15

Not a single fruit bits on the peach strawberry fruit tea.

This is the only location of Boba Time that I went to that does not put fruit bits on their Peach Strawberry fruit tea. In one of the drinks, there was a hair inside the cup. That is disgusting and unacceptable. Just in case you want to order from this place, Please make sure to check your orders before you leave. As for us, we were very disappointed and will not be back in this location.

The drinks we ordered were sweet. So, we needed some water after the fact. Be prepared as they don't give out water or a cup of ice.

The drinks we ordered were naturally sweet in a good way. So, we needed some water after the fact. Be prepared as they don't give out water or a cup of ice. $5 for Bottle of Water-- they don't have tap water to spare. $1.25 for Cup of Ice The server was very nice about it but shame on the management.

Pistachio Matcha

Considering this chain has a ton of locations, you'd think it would be more of a slay. I have no idea if all of their locations are like this, but genuinely the best thing about this place was that it's open later than the boba shops around the area. We quite literally had no choice but to come here, and I'm starting to think that opening late compared to competition is the only way they get business. We got (rating): Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba (3/5), Strawberry Matcha with Boba (1.70/5), House Milk Tea, Peach Strawberry Tea with Boba (2.5/5), Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea (2/5), Pistachio Matcha Milk Tea with Boba (1.50/5) I was so excited to try my pistachio matcha tea because I've never seen that combination be done in any store before. When I tell you I felt INSTANT sadness after that very first sip, I am emphasizing the INSTANT part. The drink itself was so watery it was like matcha flavored water, and the boba only served to make the drink worse by adding this slimy, soft lump of goo to your every sip. Across the board, the drinks were watery. The fruit in the fruit teas didn't shine through and the jasmine in the jasmine milk tea wasn't strong enough. Just super disappointing all around.

this latte didn't taste like coffee at all, and wasn't even hot and steamed properly.

The staff doesn't seem to know how to do the job properly. I ordered a coffee, but they didn't even know how to make it, which was quite surprising. The boba also seemed old. Please make sure to provide proper training, or hire someone who is more experienced.

Galaxy Iced Tea

No complaints I always get a tasty drink out of here every time. It's a reliable spot for good boba drinks, you know what you're pretty much getting out of each and every location. This location stays open pretty late so any late night boba cravings for me this is where I'm most likely going to.

Lavender Milk Tea
Lele Y.

3.5 stars rounding down Visited out of convenience since it's open until 11pm and in the same plaza with bunch of eateries~ Hangari kalguksu, Sun Nong Dan Lavender Milk Tea- ok but not amazing, but other drinks could be better so might try something else next time No sugar/ ice adjustments Staff was nice

a table and chairs in a coffee shop
Jonathan D.

Boba good. Music good. Deserts good. Happy to spend money here . Usually pretty quick, spacious lobby, cute lights outside. Macarons are super cute addition. Crew is always pleasant

a plastic cup of coffee on a wooden table
Charles K.

Just like any other Boba time, great boba place. Sometimes it gets too busy here and the drinks may take quite some time, but quality is consistent. Good place to go after eating from the restaurants in the plaza. All the drinks are good, would recommend just the regular milk tea if you aren't feeling too adventurous. I got a strawberry flavored drink and it was good. Would recommend this place if you are looking for a good spot for boba.

Naturewell is nothing but swell…read more This nearly entirely plant-based vegan juice bar meets mini health food store is filled with good energy, healthy choices and a very kind soul. I stopped in on one of the hottest days of the summer and discovered this hidden gem on Sunset Blvd in artsy creative sunny Silver Lake, Los Angeles. I had heard of Naturewell and their locations (also in DTLA, on the go in their truck van for catering/events and in Altadena, formerly), but this was my first full experience trying a good variety including some of their awesome all natural snacks. I was greeted right away and got to take in everything including their extensive as well as growing collection of grab and good goodies, wellness shots and beverages. I wasn't feeling up to a bowl (definitely next time), but a Berrylicious smoothie and some truly awesome Gopal's Savory Pumpkin Seed Sprouties were the perfect mix. I went with the 20oz large size for my bev as it was a really hot day and only $1 more. My too cool for school Bar-rista even offered me a nice ice cold water while I waited as we bonded over that L.A. heat and humidity. They had some pickup orders and inquiring individuals passing by on the street and a few boxes to increase their shelf inventory. There's cute cozy chairs and tables out front, not to mention some space to enjoy their plants inside and that amazing AC. Eco friendly w/ easy cup carries for multiple drinks. They accept most forms of payment, including digital pay (Apple, Samsung, etc) and offer military discounts for those have served and/or are currently serving. Easy bike parking out front, local street parking and very close to metro stops as well as not more than 20 minutes from metro stations. Outside area in front is fairly open and pup friendly. Come fell the well/wellness of Naturewell.

Please get this down to about 75 words…read more Yesterday, 9/22. I ordered $150 worth of juices through DoorDash. Included in the order was a one day juice cleanse for the next day, 9/23. My order was placed around 4:30 or 5 PM. This morning, when I went to take my first juice I looked at the expiration which was 9/22. This was the case for three of the five bottles I purchased. I have no idea how long these bottles have been sitting in the refrigerator or when the juice was actually pressed. This is incredibly disappointing and there's no way that I'm going to drink this. I called the store two times this morning and no one answered. I left a voice message and have yet to hear back - 20 minutes later. It's worth it to note that I am in LA from out of town for work. I have no time to go to their location and have a conversation with the manager or take the time to go and return the juices and get fresh. I guess they can be busy, but this is incredibly disappointing, and equally bad is that I just wasted money and can't do the juice cleanse.

So to encounter what I did in the midst of that was disheartening. Basically, I came in and was not greeted at all. I waited. I waited. Then, I moved closer to where the barista was working. Still nothing. Then, a man comes in and the same barista greets him. Turns out the man was picking up an order. Same as me. But he was likely with Uber Eats or Door Dash. After he took care of that man...mind you greeted, got his order and bid him ado...he still didn't attend to me. So, I finally greet him: Hi, how are you doing? I'm here to pick up a to-go order. The name is... He turns to go check and may have said something minimal. I can't remember. I do remember he never made eye contact. He must've said it's coming or something. I go back towards the front to wait. Another man enters, who is greeted by a different employee. Kindly. Takes care of the guy and even says have a good day. That same, second man brings me my to-go order. Doesn't say have a good day. I mean it's not like it's not possible, right. Don't gaslight me. I just 2 different people treat 2 different people better than I was. I check my bag and ask for utensils. He gets them. That's it. I decide to call after I left. Mind you parking stinks around this area. I would never think to come here to struggle and pay for parking and deal with bad customer service and food that is mid at best. The manager, a lady, wasn't much better. She apparently was sitting in the store and remembered me and the color I was wearing. She's basically like I saw you. I don't know what happened. I'll have to check with my staff because we don't discriminate. Mind you, ai didn't mention race. Was it because I was black? Perhaps because I was a woman? I will never know. What I do know is I was treated differently real time. Looked past. Given a lower level of priority and reception. But I'm puzzled that if this manager saw 3 very different interactions, why didn't she intervene. People have built in biased whether they are aware of it or not. And there is a difference between intent and impact. I did not feel seen. I did not feel empathy. She offered a free drink. She apologized. But it didn't feel heartfelt or sincere. You know how when you can tell when they are genuinely disappointed and want to really make it right. I told her that I didn't even live in the area and wasn't thrilled about returning. I won't return. And as I said the coffee and food was mid. Do better.

Erewhon Silver Lake is, by far, the worst Erewhon location in the city…read more I regularly shop at Erewhon and have been to every location. I'm frequently at Studio City, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood, so I have plenty of experience comparing the stores. Unfortunately, Silver Lake consistently stands out for all the wrong reasons. The biggest issue seems to be a serious lack of management and proper employee training. The team often appears confused about basic tasks, from printing labels to answering simple questions about prepared food. Something that should take a minute can turn into a long wait because no one seems to know what to do or who is responsible. The prepared-food experience is especially frustrating. Multiple times I've been told, "It'll be out in 10-15 minutes, they're making it now," only to wait 15 minutes and then be told, "Sorry, we were wrong--they're not making it anymore today." How does that happen so regularly? Even the food quality seems noticeably worse here. You would expect the exact same Erewhon item to be consistent from location to location, but that has not been my experience. I regularly eat the breakfast slider at Studio City without an issue, yet after eating the same item from Silver Lake, I felt sick. Even the meat and other prepared foods at Studio City consistently seem fresher to me. And the problems aren't limited to the prepared-food counter. I've purchased prebiotic yogurt here only to discover it was expired. I've also bought fruit that looked fine from the outside, cut it open shortly afterward, and realized it was so underripe that it was basically inedible and went straight into the trash. I understand that every store can have an occasional bad day. But when the problems are this consistent--from food quality and inventory information to expired products, produce quality, long waits, and employees struggling with basic procedures--it points to a management and training problem rather than an isolated mistake. For a store charging Erewhon prices, customers should absolutely expect better quality control and a much more organized operation. Today was my last visit to the Silver Lake location. I'll stick with Studio City, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood, where my experiences have been significantly better. Thanks, Silver Lake. Have a good one.
