I love the boba Smoothies and the passionfruit slushes. So good. I'm going g to try the Açaí bowls on my next visit. They look the bomb. Today I'm trying the Dubai smoothie. Looks so good but I've never tried them yet. My favorites are still the Strawberry coconut and the Pistachio with Boba. read more

I've tried to give this location multiple chances, but after today I'm honestly done. A while back, I had an experience where there was only one worker and it took around 20 minutes just to get my order. I brushed it off and even deleted my review because I wanted to give them another chance. Today was just as frustrating. I walked in around closing time and didn't realize they were closed since there were still customers inside and multiple employees working. I had already started ordering at the kiosk when I was told they were closed. I understand closing times, but the doors should've been locked or there should be a clear heads-up before customers start ordering. The whole situation felt really unorganized. I'm also fasting, so I was really looking forward to getting a drink, which made it even more disappointing. Definitely won't be coming back. read more

I wish they had aBoba Time in Thousand Oaks! I really like this place. They have so many different varieties of drinks and smoothies along with the boba. They are pricey but it's a nice treat. I usually frequent the one in West Hills because I work there but live in TO. They are pretty quick at making the drinks and they taste good. My favorite is the horchata but my friend usually gets the avocado and berries and it's not bad at all. They have some food options but i haven't tried any. The place has some stools to sit at if you want to stick around but primarily it's to go. The staff have always been nice at West Hills and this location I have only been once but pleasant as well. I enjoy the drinks as a nice treat and if closer I'd be there more often! read more

For a large chain they still have good boba. My family and I frequent this location. They are easy to order from and have a vast selection. All the teas I've had have been pretty good not too sweet. I especially like the sunset iced tea with rainbow jelly. When ordering online be sure to go to the cashier to pick up. They keep it in a special refrigerator. They will not put it up on the counter. Also sometimes there are long wait times so just be patient, read more

I visited this location for the first time with my kids and we loved our drinks of choice. The staff was professional and helpful in narrowing down our options based on what we wanted.

One of the better Boba places in Simi Valley, or so I'm told. I am not a big boba fan, but I love the pistachio frappe. It is one of the best things I have ever tasted. The ones that do drink boba in my family, like this place and especially like the variety of drinks that you can order. The cheesecake and macarons are delicious and they have several flavors to choose from. Recently, one of my kids ordered an acai bowl and loved it. She said it was one of the better acai bowls that she has ever had. This place gets crowded and sometimes you may have to wait a little longer to get your drink. This is especially true when a movie ends at the nearby movie theater and everyone comes by after their movie. The location is teeny tiny, so you may want to order and wait outside until they call your number. There is plenty of parking. Share review read more

I like to come here whenever I am in the area. Their menu is massive, and they offer seasonal items. Their milk teas are pretty good. I also tried the sea salt coffee once which I really enjoyed. They also offer dessert items including cheesecake and macarons. The last time I was here, I ordered the New York cheesecake. It was so yummy but not too heavy. Customer service is so so. Keep in mind that this place is pretty popular; expect long lines and wait times in the evenings and on weekends. Parking is never an issue.

The flavors were bold, rich, and absolutely delightful. I ordered the Popeye, a fresh-baked puff pastry with egg, bacon, spinach, and Parmesan cheese, along with the Caprese Danish, which was my absolute favorite! It reminded me of a margherita pizza, and I will definitely be ordering it again. For my drink, I got the Iced Chocolate Blend, and the little girl in me was screaming with excitement it was so rich and delicious, almost like a lightly thick chocolate malt. It definitely did not disappoint! The restaurant itself is super cute, with both indoor and outdoor seating available and awesome music playing throughout the café, which creates such a fun and lively atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and worked hard to keep up with the morning crowd, all while greeting everyone with a smile. One suggestion: Le Harisson should showcase their drinks more because the Iced Chocolate Blend deserves way more attention. Highly recommend! They also have a great variety Matcha and Japanese Teas MUST TRY!

The latte was strong and not too sweet. The blueberry syrup they used didn't mix well with the drink and I had clumps of it in the bottom, no matter how hard I stirred it. This meant that some sips had no blueberry flavor and others too much. My brother got the Hibiscus Desert Rose Iced Tea. It was good but not necessarily anything special. Also, the cream/milk they added to it kept separating. The biggest thing for me was the price. It was around $25 for both of our drinks which is very expensive. If the drinks were incredible then I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it, but I don't think they are worth the price.

This location is amazing. Everyone is super friendly and the drinks are great. I highly recommend it for a quick and yummy snack. They also have the best macaroons! My secret is to let them sit at room temp for 5 mins before eating! So good! If your wanting a tasty drink during the heat stop here! They also have a great rewards system in place where you actually earn good rewards and get that $5 off regularly. All in all amazing place! read more

I've had different experiences at this location as I'm a huge fan of the mango smoothie. It's been very good lately, but in the past it's been watered down for a $5.25 smoothie + guilted tip. I still love coming here, but it's a disappointment when my smoothie isn't at its best. Although the staff was very friendly as to make me a new one I cannot complain. read more

First time being here, and I'm not really a big fan but my granddaughter is in love. For me, I was expecting the coffee to taste sweeter, but it taste more strong. But the smoothie is amazing! Maybe tone down the boba, but it's just depends on the costumer as well. Besides that, it's perfect. Would come again, worth the half and hour time! read more
