    Great ambiance, wonderful service and delicious refreshments! Thank you so much for the wonderful drinks!

    Unicorn crepe cake

    WISH I CAN ADD ZERO STARS. I'm honestly beyond disgusted. I bought a crepe cake from Boba Time and found something in it that absolutely should NOT be there. This is a serious food safety issue and completely unacceptable. The fact I have no clue what it is even makes me more sick I was actually disgusted to my stomach for the whole night. One bite JUST ONE BITE RUINED EVERYTHING!!! I tried reaching out to the store and have gotten no response, which is very unprofessional. Situations like this should be handled immediately, not ignored. I trusted this place, and now I'm concerned about how their food is handled overall. I would not recommend eating here until they address these issues and take accountability. I expect a response and a proper resolution ASAP.

    Best drink ever!

    Love this place always super helpful with questions I have on drinks and I love the self serve machines I can take my time on my order and see the whole menu . I've gone to many locations and they have all been good .

    This is my to go Boba place. I usually place the order online since it's easier and faster. By the time I get to the store, it's always ready and staff leave it in the fridge not like other places which leave it on counter to melt or for people to touch it. The cashiers and people who help with pick up orders are always nice and friendly. I never had issues with them. As far as for my drinks they have been always great and I really enjoyed them. Their macaroons are fresh too and I would recommend trying them out.

    This is a boba place like many others. If you've had boba before, It's Boba Time is unlikely to change your life. The drinks are unlikely to stand out from many of the other boba places you might have been to. But the boba is good, the service is friendly, the place is clean, and parking was easy. For these things alone, I would give it 5 stars. But one thing would make me rate it even higher: their boba straws are plant-based rather than plastic, which is an improvement over the plastic straws I've gotten at any other boba place I've visited. Thanks for making me feel less guilty when getting boba!

    my sister was craving shaved ice so we stopped by It's Boba Time and it was the perfect late night sweet treat! :)

    Had the pleasure of trying out this recently opened It's Boba Time location, during their soft opening, and I really enjoyed my visit! The employees were helpful, welcoming, and their great customer service enhanced the overall experience. Ordered a couple Honey Lemon Black teas with boba, and they were both perfectly sweet but not too sweet, tasty, and refreshing. The store itself was very clean and the glass case up front presented a variety of macaroons in addition to a few other dessert options to order from and pair with beverages, shaved ice, or açaí bowls. All in all, this was a wonderful first visit and I'm excited to return.

    Hi, my name is Justin and I am a Boba-holic. My daughter introduced me to Boba...I haven't had Boba since my college days where Boba was common with Thai Ice tea and Milk Tea being the craze. My favorite is watermelon, kiwi with extra Boba, sealed to perfection. There's something about the ritual of popping that straw through that plastic seal and sucking down that sugary bliss. I'm a frequent member and know where all the locations are in the greater LA area. Get your boba on as it's Boba Time!

    Out of all the boba time locations I've been to this is the best one. Friendly staff and the drinks are made perfect every time .

    First time visiting this new location, and I am thrilled to have a boba shop nearby! I ordered the honey-lemon black tea with boba. The tea was great tasting and the boba was perfect. The menu provides a wide selection. The store is modern and clean. The employees seemed to be in training and a bit shy, but I'm sure in time that will improve. The parking is super convenient which is a big plus for me (some boba shops are located in impossibly small strip malls). Plenty of parking right out front, and easy access to Sepulveda. I will definitely be coming back for my boba-fix!

    Just got this today it tasted off I thought it was just how they made it until I saw white stuff floating expired milk.

Caribel is the younger girl who is fast, efficient and knows how to make a bomb smoothie has been there 4+ years!!! Tata is the hands on owner who makes everything from scratch and hustles making drinks!!! They make drinks so quick they know everyones order for the most part Ambiance: cute neighborhood shop with natural light. Everytime I go in I feel inspired and glad im supporting a small business with a soul. I love their TWO dog walls. They also have out door seating with a cute umbrella and cute tree bench as well. Product quality: the owner makes salads and sandwiches from scratch DAILY- think sweetgreen/erewhon level salads with home cooked chicken! Don't get me started with Tata's vinagrettes And the protein smoothies are not too sweet which is fantastic to keep from crashing. The acai bowls are still decently portioned too. My order is: -When im low energy: Maca fuel Protein shake -feeling fruity: Berry Strong Protein shake sub Peanut Butter -feeling a sick: OG Shots -acai: House Bowl, add on Goji Berries! No Honey. Pros: -Free parking in the back -Affordable salads and sandwiches -Fast and friendly service! - can sit outside -Dogs are treated like kings and queens here Cons: -sometimes rush hour on a hot day can be longer wait times. So just call 15-30 minutes ahead and they will hold your cold drink in the fridge in freezer! -If you park at a meter without paying you will get ticketed! So just save the stress and park in the back of the shop!

I wanted a healthy choice, this spot popped up on my search--and after three years working in the area, I never visited this place. It isn't just about good food for me; cleanliness and a positive vibe are so important when taking a break from the daily hustle. From the moment you step in, you can sense the hard work, pride, and meticulous attention to details. Cleanliness feels like a top priority. The staff and owners are incredibly friendly, creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The food itself was absolutely great--fresh, carefully prepared, and made with love I can tell. The flavors were great and quality was high. Prices are fair, which is always a welcome surprise. All in all, I'm impressed enough to become a regular for lunch. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

    *Updated review 12 years and 2 kids later*…read more I used to come here over a decade ago when this place was 24 hours or closed extremely late (I can't remember. Probably faded at the time) and we would come in after clubbing or attending rap battles a few stores down at the record shop. Now Crave has turned into my 6 year olds favorite breakfast spot before dropping him off at school (wow have times changed!). It's located a few blocks from his school so we stop in a little after they open and I let him go crazy on the menu and order whatever he wants. Every time time we arrive, the lady who takes our order is so patient with my son as he tries to figure out what he wants and she asked him normal questions about his order and I just get a kick out of their interactions. The place is usually empty and very clean. They are actually still cleaning up a few things when we arrive, while setting up a few things on the patio. We enjoy sitting on their comfy couches in the corner and if it's nice outside, the patio is a great option (although you are on the corner of Van Nuys Blvd and Ventura Blvd intersection during traffic so there is a lot of honking going on). The food is still great and we've ordered a lot of items on the menu. We've had everything from breakfast burritos, French toast, salmon, to fish tacos, and yogurt parfaits. We honestly haven't had a bad meal yet. They also make smoothies which I haven't had the chance to try yet and it seems like they can honestly make anything you ask them for. They have an assortment of pastries, cookies, and cakes and they have a wide variety of drinks such as smoothies, Italian sodas, milkshakes, boba coffee and tea. Don't even get me started on their lunch options. This is a great place to come to if you have come with a small or large group of people and you need a variety of options to please everyone. This is still a 5 Afro establishment to me, and we will keep coming back to try more food and drinks. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros
