I am crazy about It's Boba Time. It's always been my main go-to for milk tea! The Alvarado/Olympic location was very clean inside. The service was very quick, and there's a restroom inside for customers. I ordered a Hokkaido milk tea, as always, with boba and lychee jelly, 50% sweet, easy on the ice (it's my go-to, plz try it!) The consistency was perfect, and I love that they actually take my modifications seriously! I've been to some locations that you could tell didn't really half the sugar. I left feeling good, but I do miss the "punch card" they had before the pandemic! I'd always get a free one after my 10th milk tea, and as a regular, I'd get them all the time! Beware, the area is a bit sketchy. A pantless man was being odd in front of the building, so I wouldn't linger in the area. read more

Service was terrible I waited for over 5 minutes to order I only ordered because I asked if I could order they didn't have a self kiosk didn't even address that I had been waiting while they stared at me every time to give someone their order. Then I finally order they tell me they can't do my order, argue with me then say this store doesn't do it after saying what I want they said oh this as it's my same Order for the last 5 years at boba time. No point was there an apology just an attitude with rudeness. the person in the register was Andrew and the shift supervisor or person with attitude that said "well we don't do that here" then went on to make the order after realizing he wasn't hearing me over his ego was Daniel. It's a boba spot. It's not a hard job. I wasn't rude and I pay for my drinks. Not hard to say hey I'll be right with you or say can you repeat what you're asking. Instead of being straight up rude. Seeing the receipt when I asked for his name he said Andrew the receipt reads Bruce S. I ordered at 9/20/26 at 7:27pm. read more

Came in when it wasn't busy, ordered two drinks, and waited 20 minutes while everyone who came in after me got served first. The guy making the drinks didn't even start mine until I made eye contact with him. Then when I asked for a bag, he was completely avoidant, said they charge 10 cents, and walked away. I normally don't leave reviews, but this experience was frustrating and the customer service was disappointing. read more

YO I JUST SLURPED THIS UP THRU THE STRAW WTF IS THAT EVEN??? THIS IS NOT WHAT I GOT IN MY FREAKING DRINK YESTERDAY. THIS IS FCKED. read more

It's Boba Time - Olympic - YO WTF IS THAT - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

taking 20 minutes just to take my order straight up ignoring us smh i hate this type of customer service‍‍‍

My review is strickly based on only online ordering. This spot is close to my house so it's on my way to work but it is always packed and the parking lot here is super tiny for the amount of shops that share this parking lot. They have a variety of drinks for you to try no matter what you are craving. I normally order the mango smoothie if i want something refreshing or the cookies and cream shake if I want a sweet treat. The staff for the most part is nice, I think ive only encountered one employee who had an attitude when i went to go pick up. Other than that I legit have no complains except once again parking is rough here. read more

They gave rotten strawberries on my order smh it was the shaved ice strawberry order waste of $10

I would always come to this location and never had issue, until today this server named Scarleth gave such a bad experience, kept rushing throughout my order , had a very rude attitude , I asked if they had macarons as well and she told me no , I look and they had a few . Do a better job next time scarleth read more

This location could be a hit or miss depending on the day and time you visit. It could be crowded with a family or 5-7 kids screaming and out of control or it could be a ghost town. Drinks are alway made fresh and I've never had an issue with any of my drinks. They no longer have a seating area (thank Gawd!) so it a stop and go location. You order your drink, wait a few minutes and then leave. I guess employees were fed up with parents not watching their 5 kids run around the place creating a mess. read more

Okay boba, and minimal vibes. The boba is usually okay across Boba Time chains. The same is true at this location. To me, 'ok' is due to the strange pearl texture, the default sweetness level being too high, the lack of tea and milk flavors coming through well, and the lack of a searing area where people can socialize. read more

This place is way way slow. 30 min for a tea ? Really ? Don't come here Everyone is sitting around but nobody getting their drinks.

Perfect. Never late, always doing a great job and d food amazing.The staff amazing always so nice.

I ordered online and drove in this store 30 minutes after I placed the order. When I arrived, they said their internet is not working and that I have an option to be refunded once their internet is resumed or they can do the order now and I will wait for about 10mins. Tap here and there on the register and then she said im good. 10 - 15 mins later of standing inside the store, the same lady called me and asked if she can see my online order coz she needs to write it down. So curiously I asked, no one is preparing my order yet? She said something but I didnt hear it so I asked the same question. She no one yet, and I asked but why? I have been standing in that corner for 10-15 mins, she said im the only person in the register, but I see 6 people including their manager/owner maybe. I understand the situation but i wish before she said im good to go at the register, she made sure someone has my order. 15 minutes later, a total of almost 30 minutes waiting, I am missing one boba drink from what they prepared. I guess this is not my day read more

During this pandemic, we all need a little pick me up. Not sure why, but lots of boba shops in LA don't sell popcorn chicken. Luckily, this location does! Service was fast, the place was clean and had a nice modern interior. They had plexiglass up to protect their workers and customers. They also have a one person at a time policy. Solid place to get boba and a little snack. read more

This place sucks major ones!! I ordered my drink and asked to scan my rewards, but the dude seemed like he didn't care at all. I got my drink, and the powder was super thick like it didn't dissolve. I checked my rewards, and the dude never scanned it. What a shitty place! I'm never coming back to this Boba Shit!! read more

It's Boba Time - Olympic - Shitty drink! Might not be on the menu tho - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ever since the pandemic I have been finding myself coming here way more often than I did before or ever. At the moment they are allowing only one person to enter the store at a time and with a mask on. My usual go to drink is Thai Tea no boba but recently have been indulging in the Pistachio Frappe. Just these last couple of time I have been getting extra pistachio, it just makes it so much better. I usually get the large since my fiancé and I share it. The cost is decent it's about $5 and some change. They charge 0.50 for the extra pistachio as well. I haven't really tried anything off the food menu. This location accepts cards and cash. The parking lot is very small and sometimes really sucks cause it can get really packed in there. I don't know why but I feel like all boba times have small parking lots. read more

It's Boba Time - Olympic - Pistachio Frappe with Extra Pistachio - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had very delicious bubble tea here the other day. I got something off of their "top 10 drinks" menu that was really helpful in choosing. It had my favorite flavors - coconut tea with fresh strawberries blended into the drink. It really hit the spot. The only thing that I didn't like is that they didn't have the ability to adjust the sweetness of the drink. Since there was that road block, I just asked them to use less powder, since that's what they used to make the drink. The place also had a case of beautifully displayed desserts such as cheesecake and tiramisu. It was super tempting to get but I didn't end up getting any of it. I love the idea of putting fresh fruit inside bubble drinks alongside boba. It makes it super tasty and I wish more people did that. Although I walked here from my hotel, the parking lot was also super tiny so I can't imagine it being easy to drive to this location if people were trying to do that. read more

I come here often. Drinks are always good. I get cookies and cream, and the mango slush as well. MOST of the staff is really nice and professional. The last two times I went in, I noticed an employee yelling and slamming kitchenware. I couldn't help but feel bad for the other employee as they didn't seem to be doing anything wrong. I get it could be a high stress environment as I also work in food service, but this behavior seemed hostile and should be reevaluated by management. read more

Average tasting boba drinks at best. It gets the job done, but nothing to write home about. Service is kind of hit or miss at times. This particular location is takeout only. The waiting area tends to be on the dirty side. It's a chain boba place. You're better off with the mom and pop spots, better service and drinks. read more

The parking lot of this location is very limited; but it is DTLA, so street parking may be the way to go. I had been to the Torrance location once before. Since I enjoyed the Pistachio Frappe (Pistachio, Ice Cream, Milk) during my first visit, I decided to order another on my second visit. Though this time, I did order it with boba since it had been a long time since I've had boba. It seemed a bit like an odd choice but it worked well together. The boba was cooked to perfection and not too sweet. For a Sunday night, there were a lot of workers behind the counter and I felt quite safe. A transient did enter the store and stopped by every table asking for money, but one of the workers politely asked him to leave. Overall, great customer service and great tasting drinks. Service is quick and don't forget about that stamp card if you frequent often! read more

Flavors and portions are always consistent this will always be my boba company go to !

They have shaved ice items on the menu now and it is amazing. #5 and #6 are our favorites. I recommend the Pistachio France with lychee jelly add-on, and the Coconut Strawberry smoothie with coconut jelly and mini boba. Parking can be difficult but it's not impossible, this location is bigger and nicer than all other Boba Time locations in the area. read more

My husband and I love boba but in a Sunday night the last thing you want before you start your weeks is go to to a place and get bad service . Chelsea seem like we were annoying her It was a bit busy but her bad attitude makes you regret go to this place if you can avoid it . read more

Was not very pleased with the service I got here. I came in around 9:30 pm wanting to order one of their fresh juices, to which the cashier said "oh we stop serving juice at 9:30" yet their menu/sign clearly says they stop serving juice at 10:00 pm. So either the cashier is misinformed or whoever made the menu was. Since the juice wasn't available, I asked if I could have one of their matcha drinks except without the sugar and milk and he could replace that with water instead because milk makes my stomach hurt, but he said no he can't do that either. Like c'mon if my first choice wasn't available (even though it SHOULD be), couldn't he be a little more accommodating? In the end, I got a honey green tea with 75% less sugar. They ended up doing the less sugar in my boyfriends drink instead of mine so basically I got a third choice drink that was made wrong. Just wow. read more

This is my favorite Boba place. The quality, consistency and flavor of the drinks are always on point.

The boba itself was fine, nothing extraordinary but nothing to complain about either. Despite what pictures online might make it seem, there is no seating here and it's now purely a take-out spot. read more
