    Tiger Sugar Milk with Boba
    Chessa D.

    Pleasant and friendly service from Marlene. I appreciated the free taste of the house milk tea and ended up choosing the classic black milk tea--what a delightful surprise! Fast checkout and smooth credit card processing, thanks to Alisha. The whole staff, including Cindy, gives off a friendly, hardworking vibe. They all deserve a pay raise & award soon. Upbeat, fun music and a relaxing ambiance with chairs and tables outside made the experience even better. Thank you all so much. God bless!

    Love this boba place! Their teas are so delicious and they are always friendly! Love how clean this location is and how close to home!

    On a particularly hot day, I decided to visit Boba Tea Time, and it turned out to be a refreshing experience! Despite the bustling line, the service was impressively swift. The staff managed the orders efficiently, enduring that I got my delicious boba fix without a long wait. The ambiance was a cute pit stop cafe'. Thank you for your hospitality and service;)

    Where's the rest of the açaí? Love going to boba time, but this was pretty disappointing.

    Time and cashier that doesn't listen carefully

    Lately drinks here are not good maybe because they don't follow recipe. I been returning drinks because they have not flavor or they just dont follow carefully instructions on the tickect. Also costumer service should get better. Today I order a sea salt coffee with extra foam, I got charged. When I saw my drink I noticed they didn't put the extra foam and asked for it. They say I had to pay again. I asked for receipt and it was there. They were arguing with me saying that I paid for 1 serving of foam when sea salt coffee comes with one serving of foam and theyhad to add th 2nd one that I paid. Also cashier needs to put more attention because I said easy boba and when they remade my drink they put extra boba.

    Had a craving for Jasmine milk tea! Cute, small, bright local boba spot in strip mall. A little busy, but got our order taken quickly. No indoor seating. Small bench to wait for order. Staff friendly enough. My jasmine milk tea was just okay. Tasted a bit weak and not sweet at all. My Mom ordered the coconut strawberry smoothie and she loved it. My niece ordered a strawberry smoothie with strawberry boba and she loved her drink as well. There was a display case for pastries like macaroons, cheesecake and tiramisu. None of us tried any during this visit but it all looked pretty standard for a boba shop offerings. Drink menu extensive. Prices low-moderate. I will try another drink other than my usual, if I return.

    It's Boba Time was super packed on a weekday night when I stopped by for a visit. Part of me was surprised to see it so popular, but since it's one of the few locations for boba, it isn't too surprising. The location itself is pretty small, and the inside is very well decorated. I loved all of the carefully chosen decor, posters, and seating. If it were less packed, this would be an awesome hangout spot with friends. I ordered a Tiger Sugar Milk Tea that was 25% sweet and with light ice. I didn't enjoy my drink until I commuted home (~ 40 minutes) and was astonished to find that it tasted like milk with sugar. Actually the drink was nearly all white, and I wasn't sure what part of that drink was a tea. A+ for speed though - at the rate that orders were coming in, the staff member who helped me got it to me in less than a minute!

    All of a sudden, I was craving boba ice tea!! So I came and got two items. They always satisfy my Boba cravings! I was planning bto get just 1 drink, but then I saw the poster with new items they have, so ordered one of the 3; Orea Thai Tea & Tiger Boba. The Oreo Thai Tea was so gooood!! And of course, the Tiger Boba Tea is, of course, delicious as always! Honestly, I was fighting myself from wanting to get a dozen of macaron, tiramisu & cheese cake

    Me and my daughters absolutely love this place. I also have another location at the Topanga mall. There's lots of parking outside of this location. It's so hard to choose a drink because they're all so good

    I came back to update my review and had a much better experience this time. I decided to go with a smoothie in lieu of a milk tea so I wouldn't have to worry about the drink being cold and having to much ice. I went with the Coconut Strawberry smoothie as it was ranked as one of their top 10 flavors and it did not disappoint. My friend got the avocado strawberry which they mentioned was also delicious! The service was great. They were super friendly and able to explain all the flavors. The ambiance was nice as well, I just wish they had some outdoor seating areas.

My friend and I stopped by on a Saturday after Pilates class and it was quite packed. If you can, I'd suggest visiting on a weekday or very early in the morning to beat the crowd. We were excited to find that even the small bowl $12 plus tax, offers so much variety. You get to choose your base, toppings, drizzle, and "mix-ins" like bee pollen, granola, chocolate chips, and fresh strawberries. My bowl with strawberries, pudding, bee pollen, and honey was delicious and surprisingly filling! Beyond the bowls, they have freshly made empanadas! We shared a chicken empanada and it was incredible--served steaming hot with a crunchy crust and a moist, flavorful traditional filling. It also came with hot sauce and chimichurri on the side which added a great kick. The atmosphere inside is brightly lit with plenty of tables and even games to play while you eat. The customer service was very polite and despite the constant flow of people picking up to-go orders, everything ran smoothly. I'm already wanting another bowl! Highly recommend checking this place out~~~

Street parking is free but extremely limited. Venue 4 stars: Nicely appointed, inviting, cozy and homey, medium sized venue with indoor tables and a couple of small outdoor tables and stools.

You can order one of their signature Acai creations or customize your own. We had the Ubatuba Bowl customized as (1) strawberries, bananas, honey, granola, diced almonds and shaved coconut and (2) strawberries, bananas, honey, granola, Nutella and mangos. Both were excellent and highly recommended. The Bottom Line 4 stars: A great choice when craving some good Acai. Highly recommended!

    Visited: 4/1/26 & 4/26/26…read more DRINKS Dalgona Matcha Viet Coffee ($6.25) - 7/10 This drink was enjoyable overall, but the matcha didn't taste very high quality. It leaned more on the milky side rather than having that deeper, slightly earthy matcha flavor you'd expect. It still had a nice sweetness and was easy to drink, but if you're someone who really appreciates strong, authentic matcha, this might fall a bit short. Viet Coffee with Sea Salt Foam ($6.25) - 7.5/10 My sister ordered this at 50% sweetness, which ended up being a great choice since 100% would likely be overpowering. The sea salt foam added a nice creamy contrast that balanced the drink well. However, it didn't quite capture the rich taste of traditional Vietnamese coffee and instead tasted more like a sweeter, standard iced coffee. Still good, just not very authentic in flavor. The Nutty Latte ($6.75) - 4/10 This one wasn't for me at all. The texture was extremely thick and chunky, making it difficult and honestly unpleasant to drink. It felt like drinking straight peanut butter mixed with milk, and the chunks would sometimes get stuck in my throat. It also didn't resemble a latte in either texture or taste. Iced Rose Latte with Cheese Foam and Honey Boba ($6.25 + $0.85 + $0.85) - 7.5/10 If you enjoy floral drinks, especially rose, you'll likely enjoy this one. The rose flavor is definitely present without being too overpowering, and the cheese foam adds a slight savory contrast that keeps it interesting. The honey boba adds a bit of extra sweetness and texture. Overall, it's a solid drink, just nothing particularly standout compared to other rose lattes. FOOD Mozzarella Cheese Sticks ($5.25) - 6/10 These come with your choice of sauce, and I went with ranch. They're very standard mozzarella sticks, nothing particularly memorable or unique. The cheese wasn't as melty as I would've liked, and the breading was noticeably thick, which made them feel a bit heavy. They're fine if you're craving something fried, but not something I'd go out of my way to get again. Okonomi French Fries ($5.25) - 7/10 The sauce is definitely the highlight here! It has a slightly sweet flavor that makes the fries more enjoyable and adds something different. Unfortunately, the fries themselves were a bit underwhelming. They tasted slightly stale, lacked seasoning, and weren't as crispy as they should have been. Chicken Wings ($7.75) - 8.5/10 This was surprisingly the best item! The chicken was fresh, hot, and had a really satisfying crunch. While they weren't heavily seasoned on their own, the texture and freshness made up for it, and the ranch dipping sauce helped add more flavor. Definitely a solid choice if you want something savory alongside your drink. How to Order: Ordering is done through a touchpad system, which makes the process quick and easy, especially when it's busy. They also have a very wide variety of drinks on the menu, so there's something for pretty much everyone, whether you like coffee, tea, or more unique specialty drinks. Seating: This is a great place to study or hang out for longer periods of time. There's plenty of indoor seating along with accessible outlets, which makes it convenient if you need to get work done. However, it can get very loud and hectic during the week since a lot of students come here, sometimes to the point where it feels chaotic with people talking loudly or even yelling. Weekends are generally a bit calmer, but the music is still played fairly loud, so it may not be ideal if you're sensitive to noise unless you bring noise-canceling headphones. I didn't mind it at all and could work normally. Atmosphere: One big plus is that they're open late until midnight, which makes it a really convenient late-night spot whether you're studying or just want somewhere to relax. The shop itself has a modern, casual vibe, and the high traffic gives it a lively atmosphere, though that can be a downside depending on what you're looking for. Parking: It's located in a plaza, so parking is relatively easy and accessible. Restroom: The restroom requires a code to access and is relatively clean, which is always appreciated.

    So my actual drink was good but my experience ordering wasn't good :/ I ordered ahead of time so…read morethat when I got there I could just go in and grab my Honeydew Slush but after 15 mins, my order wasn't ready yet. I started to wonder if there was only one person making all the drinks? There's one kiosk where you can order and every now and then someone will come out from the curtains to bring out orders. Just a weird set up and very slow service. The place is busy with CSUN students which is cool but almost 30 mins for 1 drink is way too long! Especially when I ordered ahead of time. People who were ordering from the Kiosk inside were getting their orders before me? haha I'm sure it's a good place and I just had a bad experience today!
