I had a horrible experience at It's Boba Time (San Dimas). I ordered the Hokkaido Milk Tea ($6.50 - Large) with Boba. The pearls had the taste and texture of toilet paper. The tea had the flavor of cheap powder mixed in water. In the end, I tossed this thing into the trash (video attached). This experience was such a waste of money!! I arrived at It's Boba Time (San Dimas) on Saturday (around 12:06PM - near opening time). Parking is easy. The lot is very big. There's even EV Charging Stations. Staff is the highlight. Staff (receipt says Gavin) warmly welcomed me as I entered. Gavin is professional and friendly. My drink took one minute and 30 seconds. Quick! As mentioned, I abhorred the Hokkaido Milk Tea ($6.50 - Large) with Boba. It's one of the worst prepared drinks that I've had in a long time. The tea had an artificial candy flavor while also offering a thin, watery aftertaste. The boba had no sweetness nor flavor; it tasted and felt like chewing on toilet paper. There's no bounce; rather, its just "splats." In the end, this thing went into the trashcan. "UGH!!!" Concerning ambiance, It's Boba Time (San Dimas) is harmless. I appreciated how the location was relatively clean. Ignoring the clumpy dust in its crevices, the three indoor tables are shiny. The floor also looked swept. It's Boba Time (San Dimas) has no available electrical outlets. There's a gender neutral restroom, but it was out-of-order during my visit. Also, the music is inviting and jolly with its Christmas tunes. Overall, I had a horrific experience at It's Boba Time (San Dimas). I left nauseated and annoyed. "Such a waste of money!" I'd internally screamed. At its current state, I do not recommend It's Boba Time (San Dimas). 1 out of 5

Recently, I've been a fan of the Boba Time brand and the selection they have to offer the customers. The menu options are extremely large whether that is a positive or a negative. I enjoy seeing the multitude of options on the menu and the current top drinks when you go to the location. We've ordered drinks on the app since you get rewards for spending and also drop in to this San Dimas location. The drinks are usually served in a timely matter and ready when stated in the app. Staff for the most part are always friendly and work hard to manage all the orders. The location has few tables for seating inside, but plenty outside the boba shop. My personal favorites are the Strawberry Matcha, Matchata (matcha + horchata), Pistachio Milk Tea and Hokkaido Milk Tea. All these are ones I gravitate towards choosing. Overall, It's Boba Time serves up solid Boba for a known boba chain. ( ^_^)b

Got some Boba for the team. They have a great amount of choices. From teas to smoothies to boba drinks and many others, with so many topping combinations. I really like the fact that on their website they'll tell you the nutritional facts including how many calories in each one of their drinks. Its in the shopping center of Smart and Final, right inbetween a Ramen shop and a Sushi shop. Minimal seating inside and theres some more shared space seating outside. Bathroom was out of order while I was there which is the only knock I have against this place. Friendly customer service. I ordered like 6 or so drinks. She was very patient with me. And the drinks came out quickly. They were all so colorful and looked really good. Everyone enjoyed them!!

This was one of the better taro milk teas I've had from a boba chain. The boba was warm and the texture was more on the soft/chewy side. Their shop was super clean and the employees were very friendly.

Pretty fast foody

We didn't actually try it (hence a random 5 stars) but, we did walk in so I thought I'd leave pictures and vibe review! It's really fast foody and not my vote for boba experience. But the girl was friendly and I heard her tell the lady ahead of us it would be 45 minutes, so we left!

Strawberry matcha milk tea, Guava iced tea,& Rose matcha milk tea

I was craving something sweet after having dinner at Show Sushi. It's Boba Time is conveniently located just adjacent to Show Sushi. The shop was well lit and very clean They have some indoor seating. The barista was very nice and friendly. The service was very fast, although she was alone in the shop. They have a wide selection of refreshing drinks. Their menu includes all of these yummy drink categories: milk tea, iced tea, milk foam top, tea float, smoothies, shakes, slush, frosty milk, frappe, iced and hot coffee, and shaved ice. They also have açai bowls and cakes. I chose my favorite, which is strawberry matcha milk tea. My husband got guava iced tea with boba and my daughter got rose matcha milk tea. The drinks were refreshing and adequately sweetened. It's a nice place to stop by and try a refreshing drink. I will be back soon.

Such a hidden delight. Tucked away inside a strip mall is this wonderful Boba shop. When you walk in, you're greated with a smile. The girl behind the counter was very nice. Lots of choices, smoothie, coffees and frozen ice all with boba. There was 3 of us so we had one of each. Wow, these were delicious. Very flavorful and great portion size. The shop has a couple of tables but outside you can find more covered seating. Will have to come back again next time I'm in So Cal.

Upon arriving at the parking lot in front of Show Sushi (I was picking up dinner last night), I saw this really bright sign with "It's Boba Time" on it. I didn't know they opened a location in San Dimas... cool! You now can get some boba after some sushi (on their right) or some ramen (on their left) or both... why not! Great spot to be Boba Time! The first time I had their drinks at another location, I was not very impressed. Hence, I haven't been back to try them again until now. This location is very bright inside. It has limited interior seating. Drink menu has quite a bit of hot and cold drink selections. They do have their top 20 drinks displayed so that may help in the decision-making for some customers... not for all of course. You may order from their 1 kiosk or just walk up to the counter and order face-to-face... the choice is yours. They do have 1 all gender restroom available for use which is convenient (1 is better than none I say)... remember to ask for the code. I usually get 3 drinks when I am at a boba joint... 1 for me and 2 for my daughters. I went with the kale green as I was looking for all fresh ingredients and not the powder stuff. I got 1 peach strawberry with lychee jelly for my eldest and 1 house milk tea with crystal boba for my youngest. All the drinks were quite good. I was skeptical about the kale green, but all veggies and fruits balanced out in flavor... I would get it again! Staff was super nice and pleasant. Ambiance like I said was very inviting with its bright white lights. Prices are quite reasonable. Now that I know they are here, I will return whenever I am in the San Dimas area. Thank you!

Strawberry Watermelon Slush

Been to this chain many times but it was my first time at this location. The inside is small with a few chairs and tables (more of a to-go vibe). There is a tablet you can order from and service is prompt. It's never my go to boba spot but there are a few drinks here I really love and get on repeat - pistachio smoothie, strawberry and watermelon slush, and strawberry matcha with oat milk. For those three drinks, I would come back when I'm in the area! I also like that if you order "light boba," they don't charge extra.

Nice store, clean and bright! And the drink options are various, I love they also have hot beverages here. I tried the milk foam jasmine tea with 25% sugar. It's a little bit bitter for me, I may go with 50% next time. Over all, I love the flavor, the milk foam is thick and tasty, nice job. The two girls are very friendly too. Nothing to complain, come to try it!

Pistachio matcha milk tea and  almond milk tea
Danielle G.

Love this new addition to San Dimas/Glendora where boba establishments are lacking. Even though this is a chain, the 2 times we've been here we've had great service and excellent tasting drinks. First , the parking lot is large , so there's always ample parking . The store is very clean and tastefully decorated . Though there are no tables to sit inside , there is a long bench to wait for your drinks and there are some tables outside. The menu is large and you're always guaranteed to find something that suits your taste, whether it's milk tea , acai bowls or shaved ice. We were greeted warmly both times we came and our drinks were made exactly to our liking. I like that the pistacho matcha milk tea was not too heavy on the matcha, it was perfectly sweet at 25% and the boba texture was bouncy and chewy , not mushy. This is the perfect place to get your boba fix. I'll be back soon !

I love this poke spot: plentiful fish portions and tons of options for toppings and I find the 3…read morescoops bowl for about $18 to be super fair. I typically get the ahi tuna, the salmon and normal imitation crab with cucumber, seaweed salad, and carrots (and there are more!) with one of their sauces. Very relaxed poke spot, has some benches for seating, and they're very quick with service. Also, the Thai tea unexpectedly was a perfect color and sweetness for me. Highly recommend if you're looking for a protein-filled quick lunch or dinner.

I stopped by on Wednesday and had a pretty good experience overall…read more I ordered a 3-scoop bowl with spicy crab, tuna, and albacore over brown rice and salad. When I first walked in, it felt a little warm inside, which made me pause for a second since raw fish is involved. Thankfully, the fish itself tasted fresh enough and everything was solid quality. I added the haus sauce and spicy mayo, which worked really well together. The portion size was perfect. I felt full but not overly stuffed. Service was good and the place looked clean. Parking was also super easy, which is always a nice bonus. My only real downside was the price. I paid $20 for the bowl, which feels a bit high for what I would call a good but not amazing poke spot. If Yelp allowed half stars, I would give it a 3.5. It is not quite a 4 for me, but definitely better than a 3. If I am in the area, I would consider coming back, though I do have a couple spots closer to home that I would probably choose first.

The ribs were extremely salty, to the point where I couldn't finish them and ended up throwing away a whole rib. They also had a strange aftertaste. As for the sides, the portions were pretty skimpy for a $30 plate, just two scoops of rice and a very small serving of macaroni. The highlight of the meal was definitely the vanilla cream soda, which was probably the best part of the whole experience! Overall, this place is alright, and they do have great musubi, so I'll probably just stick to ordering those from now on.

Boneless pieces of delicious crispy chicken (reminds me of Mochiko in Hawaii). Chicken is battered lightly, it's crispy, and NOT greasy. Loved the salad dressing and the chicken sauce. One is greeted by a pleasant young lady as you enter. She takes orders and you pay at the counter. Very busy during lunch. The small restaurant is very clean and seats approximately 20 people. The tables are cleaned shortly after customers leave. Love the Aloha soft drinks too. I did tell the chef that the food is very good! Based on my first visit I definitely plan to return to try other dishes like the rib plate and chicken katsu.
