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

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.

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

Taro Milk Tea Matcha Milk Tea

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.

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.

We called Sylmar location.

We order 2 Thai Tea Tornado for the first time, a little hesitant about the crème brûlée cup lining. When we tried it, it did not taste good. I figured it was the crème brûlée, so we went back in to ask for different drinks. The cashier was kind and understanding but when she told the other employee, we heard her complain "BRUUHH". We didn't confront her for her attitude, but it was definitely rude. We noticed that she made another mistake and her reaction but even then, we were patient and understanding. We drove away right away so we didn't try the drinks until we arrived to our destination. TURNS OUT THE WEIRD TASTE IS SPOILED MILK!!!! We called Boba Time to let them know but no one answered. We called the one in Sylmar to see if we exchange our drinks, but again, no answer. We want a full refund and free drinks. This is not acceptable, appropriate, and a serious health hazard. Update: we received half a refund from the manager.

I stopped by here to support a school fundraiser and it was a nice boba spot but super packed. Not sure if it was the occasion but it took like 30 min to place/get my order :( They also only had about 3 workers but they had great customer service for the amount of people! I got the strawberry banana smoothie w boba and it was pretty good. I've tried better spots but maybe I'll swing by around to try another flavor not during rush hr!

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.

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.

First impression- It feels a bit tucked away and in a food hall…read more Parking- I went on a Monday and easily found street parking but can imagine during the weekend it would be hard to find Drinks - Shaken espresso with soy milk,vanilla sweetener(made in house) and pandan cream top- I got this drink with 50% sweetness and it was great. To my surprise, the pandan cream top is actually vegan. Salted egg cream top latte - My friend got this one and liked it a lot. Overall- Looking forward to coming back and trying their ube drinks.

My sister had been to this spot and had great things to say about the drinks at ELNO, so when I…read morefound myself nearby, I thought I'd check it out with her. Being a huge matcha fan, I was all set to order one, but then I spotted a unique drink on the menu called "Fluffy Hojicha." I got curious and asked a staff member what hijocha was. They told me it has a distinct roasted flavor, which really intrigued me. Not knowing what to expect from a roasted tea, I decided to give it a try. The wait for my sister's drink, along with a crème brûlée donut and a strawberry donut, was just a quick 3-5 minutes. The first sip of the Hojicha caught me off guard; it wasn't my favorite right away. But with each sip, I started to appreciate and eventually really enjoy the unique roasted flavor of the tea. The crème brûlée donut was a lovely addition - just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. ELNO is located in a building with other small vendors, and there's a seating area that fits only two to three people. I found parking easily since I went on a weekday around 4 PM. My sister mentioned that on weekends, parking is a real hassle. It's definitely worth stopping by if you're in the neighborhood.

Service was great, small interior bright ambiance, parking was easy so this review is purely based on the drink as I'm picky about milk teas. |[ m o r e t e a p l s ]| Roasted oolong MT w/ soymilk, zero sugar, grass jelly was 3/5 for me. Very subtle tea flavor not as strong as I'd like and tasted/looked watered down (though I'm grateful it even has any tea flavor considering we're in the valley). Grass jelly was great. I think there's potential and hope they keep improving their milk teas and not rely on sugar/sweetness to carry the drink. Signed up in the app for 30% off first order which came in clutch lol.

I tried Bobo the Boba for the first time and was neither surprised or disappointed by what I got. I ordered on the kiosk, trying to download the app for the 30% off your first drink offer, but the service in the plaza is quite spotty, so I couldn't. I ordered the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with boba and crystal boba. The oolong flavor was pretty mild, and I recall seeing one of the baristas putting the shaker bottle in the microwave, which was a bit odd. The boba didn't have too much brown sugar flavor but was nice and chewy. The crystal boba was pretty standard. Overall, not bad but would probably choose somewhere else next time.
