I stopped by on a Tuesday night and I was surprised by how many people were there. There were groups of people enjoying their drinks at the outside tables and a few more people inside. Also a few people were waiting for their drinks. The staff was really busy making the drink orders. Thankfully I ordered mine ahead of time and it was ready by the time I arrived. I ordered an iced milk tea with boba and it was good!

As much as we love Bobatime, this location never fails to amaze me, in the worst way! It is by far the worst location I've ever been to. The employees move at a snail's pace & are rude. I highly suggest you spent more time training your employees on proper etiquette. I have never placed an order and gotten out in under 20 minutes, even with only two customers in the store and 3+ employees working. Today they had 4 employees working and although there were 5-6 customer in the store waiting for their order, we waited 30 mins for our Taiyaki and they gave them to us burnt. When I returned them to them, they didn't even throw them away, they just left them on top of a machine. I'm speechless that they think this is ok. So why do I keep coming back oh yeah because my kids love boba. Ugh!! I wish there was another location closer. Do better, Bobatime!!

This place was clean and was not to busy! It had a nice outdoor seating and extra seating inside as well. Great vibe, nice music, and affordable prices. They are ample amount of options for drinks, smoothies, iced coffees, and boba. The staff was quick and efficient great flavors on the smoothie blend I tried peach mango! I highly recommend! :)

Bad made drink

Terrible service, Alyssa P and the crew during Monday night Order a three piece Taiyaki yet they only served two of them, after they were told the mistake they proceded and took 5+ minutes to correct my order while the drinks were getting warm and watery The coconut strawberry boba tents to come with chop strawberries yet they decide to miss out the main attraction of the drink and not put strawberries... and when they were told why did they not add strawberries, they acted surprised like they dont have the directions on how to make the drinks! They are more busy talking to one another than making sure the orders are corrects while they drink on the left overs of the orders they make.... If you can do all that talking you definitely can make sure ones order is correct Slow service Incorrect order bad customer service

Peach Strawberry Fruit tea made wrong!
Mercedes S.

I ordered a peach strawberry fruit tea which is supposed to come with chopped lychee and peach bits. I received a drink that tasted like strawberry and was half filled with so many boba - which I DID NOT ORDER. I was excited for this drink and it was a complete let down. No chopped fruit bits as stated and no peach flavor

Strawberry matcha

Still on that boba kick. If you've read my other boba related reviews, I don't have many milk tea shops around my local area. Its one other, then, 2 boba times. While running errands I looked up milk tea and was surprised to see boba time in San Fernando. Being so close I just had to come and check it out. Not gonna lie, the GPS took me to the area but said it was inside Spectrum. After pulling over and figuring it out I ended up on the correct corner. You can't miss it as it is it's own independent building with huge letters practically throwing the word BOBA at you. To me its hard to rate and review a boba time. For me they are practically the same. So the question really is, how was the service? was I happy with my drink? The service was great and the drink wasn't the best but thats all they could. My only opinion is their parking lot. Its kind of useless. Its a nice size but it parks 2 handicaps and 1 regular parking spot. The rest of the lot is used to maneuver your big ol trucks out of the lot. But people park in those non parking areas. parking: small private lot, street parking (metered) VERDICT: Rinse and repeat

I rarely give a score this low, so that's saying something. After my experience, the average score for this location makes sense. In comparison to other locations that have 3.5-4.5 stars. Save your money! Go elsewhere like across the street or at another location. I ordered a tiger sugar black tea latte, no boba, 50% sweet, oat milk, and easy ice with red bean--a drink I have ordered in the past at two other locations. This was a disappointment; it tasted like oat milk with a hint of tea and red beans at the bottom. Red beans, which by the way, were not cooked properly. I also think the tea is watered down. This drink was made at 1:35 pm for reference if any management may read this post.

The ghost of "obvious" matcha

Came to this location for the first time today. They have a signage advertising the Dubai chocolate drink with a beautiful picture that clearly states the ingredients as chocolate, pistachios and kataifi. My daughter saw it and wanted to try it as she loves Dubai chocolate. We waited over 30 minutes but the place was busy so we understood and didn't mind waiting. Once we got the drink, it tasted strongly as matcha which none of us is a fan of. I asked the guy at the register if they use matcha in the drink and he said he wasn't sure, I asked him to please ask a coworker. He came back saying that, they "thought" they use matcha, still not being sure. I politely explained to him that the description of the drink did not mention it to which he responded "well it's pretty obvious". ???? How is it obvious to me if the very same employees that make the drink don't know if it has it or not? I asked him if we could switch it for another drink since we don't like matcha at all and the answer was " well, I can't give you a drink for free". Besides the poor attitude, it's not your customers fault if you post misleading advertising, it's also not safe at all for potential allergies. And no, it's not obvious that it comes with when there is no mention of the item in the description. I ended up asking for his supervisor since he had no clue on how to handle the situation. The lady asked if I wanted a refund, I explained the situation again and simply asked for another drink. She ended up giving us another drink of our choice even though she seemed bothered by it, no apology whatsoever,We selected a beverage that was at a lower price while we still paid for the more expensive. It's not about the money, you guys need some serious work on your common sense.

Taro Milk Tea Matcha Milk Tea
Johnny D.

Best Taro I've ever had. Partner got a matcha and it was great too! Workers are very nice and very fast with the drinks. Very relaxed store for a busy street. Place doesn't deserve a 2.5 star, go try them out.

We called Sylmar location.

The drinks were pretty good however the wait was not worth it. They don't have enough employees and they are very slow and backed up.

I've been coming to TeaN'Me for the past few years, and I still consider it my favorite boba spot…read morein ALL of Sylmar. It's located toward the back of the Sylmar Square plaza, tucked away like a little hidden gem. The shop itself is pretty small compared to other boba spots, so seating is limited, but I actually like the size of it. It feels cozy and relaxing ...like a nice little place to escape without dealing with huge crowds. They do have outdoor seating as well, but that's also limited. Inside, they have comfortable sofas, a booth with high chairs, a decent-sized coffee table, and board games, so it's a great spot for a casual date or to hang out with friends. The only two downsides are that there's no public restroom (i make sure my bladder is empty before coming to the store) and no working AC. I'm not sure what the ongoing issue has been with the air conditioner, but in all the years I've been coming here, the only things keeping the place cool are a few fans. So on hot summer days, it can get difficult to hang out inside. Unless you're like me and don't mind the heat ( I've lived in Florida and Puerto Rico, so I'm used to humidity ) just keep that in mind. They have a pretty good drink menu, though they don't serve food. My personal favorite drink is the jasmine milk tea, pot plant style, which comes with a layer of whipped cream and crushed chocolate cookie crumbs on top. The serving is also huge, which I appreciate because I love a drink that isn't served like prison rations. The staff has always been warm and professional. When I stopped by today, the cashier was especially kind and attentive, which meant a lot because I had my infant son with me. He made sure I was seated comfortably, helped make sure the stroller was parked close to me, and went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed my drink. He even asked me to let him know if I needed any adjustments. I didn't catch his name, but he was an older gentleman and clearly cares about giving customers an excellent experience. Parking has never been an issue for me here, though I usually come on weekdays. Thankfully, you don't have to worry about limited parking or paying for parking like you do in many parts of Los Angeles. Overall, TeaN'Me is still a solid 5/5 for me. They continue to take the lead in sylmar as the best boba spot in the area.

I stopped by because I was craving milk tea, I gave their matcha milk tea a try and wasn't…read moreimpressed. It was super bitter and not very sweet, it had an overwhelming amount of what seemed like black tea. It had no matcha flavoring whatsoever, hence the coloring of the drink :D I know a lot of the drinks here are great just not this one! I'll keep trying different milk teas from here because the price is unbeatable! 5 dollars for this big cup! Service was friendly and quick, it went at a time where it was very lonely.

ACTUALLYYYYYYYY, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT, PLEASE…read more I am so shocked at how delicious and affordable the drinks are. I tried the matcha with banana cold foam and the egg top coffee. Both drinks were delicious! I ordered online and they were busy. I waited an extra 5 minutes on top of the estimated ready time, but it was worth it. The matcha taste is concentrated, but not overly sweet nor bitter. The banana cream top was delicious and even had chunks of real banana. I was excited to try the egg top coffee because it is a rare coffee top to find and it was delicious, just as expected! The coffee they have is also very strong (similar to Vietnamese iced coffee). Overall, I would come back for a coffee or even a matcha! Despite how busy they are, the staff is super friendly and helpful :) Downside: parking is terrible :( Upside: They are open really late!!

I got the earl grey Matcha and the Jasmine tea. Both were delish! Also ordered the Tiramisu donut and I feel like this would need to be warmed up for about 10-15seconds. You order from an iPad and just wait until your order is ready. I would definitely come back! Parking isn't the greatest though and there's a few long tables inside with chair to enjoy your drink and food.

We found a new boba and specialty coffee drinks in Northridge thanks to our child. Excellent…read morecustomer service and consistent in providing both excellent customer service and really delicious milk tea and specialty iced coffee drinks. Thank you Angel. As soon as we walked into the establishment we were greeted and welcomed. The baristas answered all our questions regarding ingredients and food allergies. Also, plenty of parking spots available. Inside the establishment there's plenty of huge seats like couches while waiting for your drinks. Many just hanging out with friends playing board games while sipping their milk teas and specialty iced coffee drinks. The milk teas and specialty iced coffee drinks we've tried and enjoyed are the Ube Coffee, Coffee Brûlée, Bobo Coffee, Caramel Milk Tea, and Strawberry Milk Tea. We enjoyed the specialty coffee drinks because they were not too sweet. You can taste the espresso along with the ube and brulee yet it's not overwhelming taste. It's a good balance. We added Bobo The Boba to our list of go to milk teas and iced coffee drinks in the SFV and have shared this place to our social circles. We look forward to trying other items on their menu.

Update to review:…read more After hearing from owner Jay, I thought I'd elaborate here: The shop is probably a paradise for the little ones and their parents: Lots of cartoon-y imagery and colorful walls, and toys to buy; and a kind of 'lounge' that was quite adult in it's design which made for a little cognitive dissonance..that, plus the signs to please not jump on the furniture, lol. My visit was on one of those blisteringly hot days in August. I just wanted a boba milk or fruit tea, and there were a bewildering number of menu items that, granted, I reviewed in a cursory fashion because I was on a mission to get a boba and get back under that blistering sun to continue my errand run. I scanned for something to satisfy my thirst without packing on 500 calories, and noted that most items displayed seemed to have cream or custard, or all sorts of dessert-y items. It wasn't until I was finished with whatever it was I got -- some kind of fruity slushy with boba -- that I saw the small menu listing for milk or fruit teas. So my bad for that, but my observation still stands: This is a Gen Z sort of business with plexiglass partitions and the impersonal, contactless pay system -- do they take cash? -- that's for the convenience of the business, and not necessarily the customer, at least this customer who's obviously not their target market. Most people my age are watching their calories and macro nutrients, and proobably don't even drink boba drinks. They still use cash and even in a kid-oriented business, appreciate signage that is simple enough to read without every item screaming for attention. Finally, the contactless pay system so beloved by businesses that embraced it since Covid, really makes for an impersonal experience, IMHO, and does little to build customer loyalty. The young man who took my order was absent from the premises when I arrived and took awhile to show up. He then answered my questions, but didn't make the effort to ask me if he could help me find what I was looking for. That's another hallmark of businesses left to be run by inexperienced hands. The actual experience of the customer walking into a shop and giving you business should be thought through as carefully as the marketing, the menu, or design of the business. That's where the bucks get exchanged to keep the business thriving, no? All this said -- I think I am just too old for Bobo the Boba. I am not their target demographic and peeps under 40 may be fine with Bobo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Too fussy too Gen Z. Wanted a boba but navigating menu of frilly creamy mixes was a turn off. Wanted lower calorie drink options but didn't see until after I ordered.

This boba place is located in a shopping plaza. I found this place on Yelp and it is a hidden gem…read more They offer a variety of drinks, coffee and boba drinks. I ordered two smoothies both of them were very tasty. Ordering is done on kiosk and it was easy to navigate. I didn't know they offer stamp cards for rewards. A young nice lady informed me about the card and I got one. Since I pass by this location several times a week. I will be using my stamp card. This location was very clean and well maintained. It has nice decorations. There is a limited seating area. I noticed most people were ordering to go. The only down side of this location is parking. It is hard to find a parking spot in the afternoon. Parking spots are smaller compared to most of the shopping plazas.

We were in the area taking care of some business and weren't familiar with any coffee shops nearby…read more Since we were on our way to the freeway, we mapped the closest coffee shop to us and Craft Tea House popped up. We decided to stop and give it a try. I'll admit, I was a little skeptical at first because I'm not a fan of sugary coffee drinks or coffee made with condensed milk. I love espresso and prefer my coffee strong, with an actual coffee flavor. Since it was 106° outside, I was definitely looking for something cold, so I decided to order an iced Americano. They have a huge selection of teas and plenty of iced drinks, so there are lots of options if you're more of a tea person. I also appreciated that they had a low-carb option for my coffee. I ordered mine with Splenda and asked for a splash of half-and-half. They didn't have half-and-half, but they offered heavy cream instead, which worked just fine. The person taking our order was super nice and friendly, which was a great first impression. The only downside was the wait. It took quite a while for our drinks to come out, and unfortunately, the shop was extremely hot inside. It didn't seem like the AC was running, and with it being 106° outside, standing around waiting for our drinks was definitely uncomfortable. Once our drinks finally came out, though, I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered two iced Americanos one with brown sugar and one with Splenda and my coffee was really, really good! It had the strong coffee flavor I was looking for and wasn't overly sweet at all. We also ordered a chocolate milkshake, which my son really enjoyed. Overall, I'm glad we decided to stop here. I went in expecting more of a sugary drink-focused place, but the iced Americano was actually really good and had the bold coffee flavor I like. The service was friendly, and there are tons of drink options. Hopefully they can improve the AC and the wait time, because otherwise, I'd definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.
