Loves Boba is located in the downstairs area of the Sun Valley Mall, replacing the old ice cream spot that used to occupy this space. It's on the side of the Round 1, and the food court. It's quite daring to open another boba spot right down stairs from another one with Boba N Me right above, and if you turned around from Loves Boba while waiting for your drink and look up, you can literally see it up there. Not to mention that Surf City Squeeze and Uncle Sharkii are also locations right next to them that also offer boba drinks as an option. But hey, I will never argue against having more boba spots. The decor is certainly interesting and perhaps its biggest selling point. Mixes in anime, Sanrio, and other popular media themes into their decor and their menu items for their drink selection. I do think that cost wise, they feel a bit pricey for what they offer for the size of their drinks. Not that it's too much different compared to the rest of the boba spots in the mall and right next to each other, but certainly not going to be cheap if you leave the mall and go to the abundance of other boba spots around the area, with 2 of them right around the corner from Sun Valley and DVC. They also use the skinny cups, though at least it's the tall one, but not a great bang for your buck. I got the basic milk tea, and it was just alright. They use the more floral tasting tea, so just be aware of that for those who may not like that flavor profile as much. However, the egregious thing for me was the complete lack of boba I got in my cup. For a place that calls themselves Loves Boba, they certainly don't love giving me boba. The boba wasn't bad, but didn't get all that much of it unfortunately. Maybe it was just this time so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. They do have some fun desserts, such as rolled ice cream I may try in the future, but as a boba spot, it was just okay on this first visit awhile back. I may go back again in the future as I'm often in the mall every so often.

Very overpriced ordered a plain lychee slush No flavor to it.! Taste like crushed ice with boba Takes way too long to make for just a blended ice with flavor syrup

I was at the mall with my niece and she really wanted milk tea. I remember this place as I was passing by a few times and decided to give it a try. This place used to be where creamery and joy was located, so I was curious to see what opened up. Besides milk tea/fruit tea drinks, they also serve rolled ice cream as well. However, this review is based on what I ordered. I will start at though with the lady who took my order. She was very nice and answered a lot of my questions about their drinks. She also gave my niece a little sticker as well, which I found to be good customer service. Anyway, on to my drink. Totoro: This is their version of earl grey milk tea, but with a flavor addition of lavender. And I will say it was a rather unique flavor profile for me. I think the lavender was a bit too strong, since I didn't get much of the earl grey itself. And there was also some sort of "powder" like taste that lingered in my mouth. Usually, I don't see earl grey having that, and it's rare for me to see lavender as a powder flavor, so I was not sure what that was. Still, I enjoyed this twist on a drink I always normally like, with those floral notes. And the boba was standard (though included for free as basic tapioca pearls). I will add that my niece for the Ariety, which is a Rose and Strawberry Lychee fruit tea. I only got a little taste and that was actually really good. I can see myself ordering from here again. Milk tea I might pass on, but the fruit tea I tasted was promising and would love to give it a try.

What a stunning boba shop. Even though the space is tiny, they utilized it so well. It's very picturesque and a great place to take a break while shopping. The drink themes are Pokémon, hello kitty and some other anime. It's really so cute. I got a passion fruit and mango fruit tea, then a My Melody for my sister. My drink was on the sweeter side but very fruity and refreshing!

This place is a scam... The drinks are very overpriced (~$9) and although they advertise character/movie drinks on their menu, none of the drinks come in any type of special packaging. They are just normal drinks. They even make the same drinks under different character names. You are really just paying for the experience of ordering a drink with an interesting name. The shop itself is very small, with a few seats. It's a cute place but definitely not worth it.

The boba was too hard and almost crumbles in your mouth. The boba was also chunky but the tea was fine.

My granddaughter went to buy ice tea boba on Sunday may 4 she paid $8 the cup was filled up more ice then tea

Love Boba Love Boba is located inside the Sunvalley Shopping Center Concord, few blocks from the food court, and one floor away of another boba place. It looked similar to the boba ice cream place located at Solano Town Center Fairfield. One of the best decor I have seen. I am sure women or girls would love this, great photo op background as well. The ambiance is nice and cute but the place is small. Some in the menu is inspired by anime. Good customer service, order arrived in a timely manner after the selfie and photo op. The person who got our order is the same person who prepared it, it is a not busy weekday early afternoon. The coffee smoothie is sweet but so good. It is creamy, sweet but not too much. However the downside is it costs very expensive compared to other bobas which I believe a factor. Spent $10 for one tall slim boba. It would be nice if it is bigger or price a little but lower just like the other competitors. Overall good experience on the first visit and amazed by their trendy atmosphere. read more

Fruit tea boba (large size)-- $15 They charged me $15 dollars for a peach strawberry fruit tea with popping boba. Insane. For that price you could have a whole meal with meat protein and the works. This place just seemed too dishonest. I was about to order on the kiosk and the owner lady said she could help me at the register. No price just a menu. After I was charged $15 I realized she called me over to distract me from seeing the price on the kiosk screen and price gouge me some more. Because LETS BE REAL if I saw the price was going to be that much I would not have placed that order! Not ok and not cool. Completely bad business practice, highway robbery. The owners don't make boba drinks because they actually like it or are good at making it and that's very apparent here. It's a money grab. This place doesn't feel right and I left feeling very displeased and like Ive been ripped off. Ok flavor but all it is is sugar, water and some fruit flavoring no actual fruit! I was going to give two stars but you can't justify that price. I'd be surprised it this place lasted more than another year. read more

Super cute boba shop, which drew me in not gonna lie! I didn't want boba but was intrigued when I saw they had Dubai Chocolate Covered Strawberries! The pictures looked great but when I actually received the order, it was so upsetting. For context the Dubai Chocolate Covered Strawberries were $14, so I was expecting it to be good (wishful thinking!). When I got the strawberries, it was just a cup of strawberries with lots of chocolate and the smallest amount of pistachios and kataifi. I honestly feel like I got scammed because the pictures looked amazing and had pistachio cream. If I would've known this is what I would be receiving, I would've never have gotten it. Either update the picture of the product or take it off the menu. It feels like I was scammed... read more

The milk tea shop here at Sunvalley changes all the time. But hey, with each new and "new" spots I got to try them. First things first I love the way they decorated. I love the way they themed every drink. There's a drink to go along side a specific Pokémon. There's milk tea and smoothies of all sort here. I was tempted to get both but I restrained myself and went for only the brown sugar milk with boba. The people that helped me were good. The price of this drink, not so much. $9 per drink? Crazy. I could really taste the brown sugar. The boba tasted fresh. The drink itself was pretty good. I'll definitely come back to try other drinks. read more

I understand the prices need to be higher with a business inside the mall, but at the same time I feel somewhat lied to. If you look up at the menu behind the person working at the counter and register they have what they offer with prices and I have no visual proof, unfortunately, but I could swear that it was $1 cheaper per drink. Also, why advertise BOBA milk tea when you're going to end up charging an extra $1.50 for the Boba after that? My daughter had a strawberry boba drink and said her drink was...okay, but she much prefers a different shop nearby. I got the cookies n cream with no boba or toppings. I have tried SEVERAL businesses who offer these types of drinks and I must be honest. I tasted absolutely no cookies and cream flavor. It tasted like a regular normal everyday plain milk tea. I was disappointed to say the least. While there, my daughter really enjoyed watching the Hello Kitty and friends videos that were playing. I like that it wasn't overly pink decor. read more

Long wait and terrible service. The menus don't have clear prices and the cashier taking our order wasn't making it clear what was an extra charge. He said it came with Boba and then charged extra. And they don't have free tap water like every other restaurant in florida. They said they have water but it's an extra dollar, and we waited extra time for that tap water only for the server to hand me a bottle. I hesitated because I was expecting a cup, and she shot me a nasty look amd rudely asked if something was wrong. I was intimidated so I just took the bottle. Definitely not coming back. read more

Milk Tea Lab

I hear they are under new management and no long affiliated with the one off of Clayton Rd in…read moreConcord. But that one is never open anyways. I assume it's true because their cup sizing has changed which I'm sadly disappointed. It's more open space/spacious and I had to create a new rewards account. Drink menu names changed slightly on kiosk and on the wall. They don't have that tacky shelf with plush, stuff, Knick knacks, for sale anymore. Drink still good, I don't think recipe has changed. I heard, then seen it for myself, the instagram post and stories shared by friends, of people dancing and partying at the shop late nights after hours. Then when I went in, also still had the sign up that said they did dance concert or hosted DJ nights at the shop. But Im also assuming it was under the old management and they must've got caught something doing something illegal or something they weren't suppose to be doing. The minus one star is for the cup sizing. Bring it back! Main reason why I love coming here, a good price for big cup size. Now it's like every other boba shop. Which is fine, but I won't go out of my way to come get boba here like I used to.

Came in here on a Saturday, so it was super busy. Ordered a Taro milk tea with red bean and Boba…read more Before I ordered, I made sure that the lady behind the desk had oat, almond, or dairy free milk options. She must've misheard me when I said, oat milk, cause she started using whole milk after I ordered. I told her I have dairy sensitivities. And she said that is the only milk that she had. But this was after I paid for the drink... i've never had a problem at other locations with no other dairy options. ...there was also barely any Boba and half the drink was red bean. Very disappointed. I must've been fourth in line after a family, and three other customers were served before me. If you have dairy sensitivity, DO NOT come here. I do not recommend it. Probably not coming back here again.

Great ice cream :) My…read morefriend and I came here for dessert after dinner nearby, and it was packed with teens and families. It's a popular spot in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. You order on one (very big) screen, and an employee was also taking orders at the register which was nice. Swirl in a cup ($6.95): Love that the matcha and ube flavors are strong! Was still able to sleep at my regular bed time, so maybe the matcha caffeine isn't too strong if you're worried about that lol. My friend got the seasonal flavor, pineapple, and that was good too! Not exactly like dole whip, I would say creamier. The black sesame flavor was also excellent. It is piled high, a bang for your buck :) I forgot they also have drink and snack options, so I'll be back to try those!

This was my first time visiting Uji Time Dessert and I loved it!…read more I took my ice cream to go but there is some limited seating inside if you prefer to eat there. There are only a couple of tables and it's limited for any parties bigger than 4 or so. They have both soft serve and ice cream, but not in the same flavors- so just note that. They carry drinks, snacks and ice cream Of course- it all looks very appetizing. If you plan on getting more than one flavor of ice cream, they have recommendations. They also have flavors of the season (not sure how often it is switched). They recommend Ube and matcha together, so that is what I did. I purchased the Taiyaki cone (fish cone) filled with red bean paste, on top of Matcha and Ube soft serve. It was Delicious! It is such a good combo, both flavors are good by themselves but together with the cone and red bean paste was delectable. You can get the ice cream inside the cone but since I was driving and taking it to go- I wanted to avoid accidents. I should mention that staff was patient, kind were accommodating when I didn't order correctly. I forgot to ask for the ice cream in a cup with the cone on top when ordering. I am trying the pineapple soft serve next

The drinks and tea quality are not super special compared to other premium boba spots, but your cravings will be satisfied. My favorite drink at Sharetea in general is the mango green milk tea with boba. I always get 30% sweetness and less ice. The boba here has a good chewy consistency. It has also come out fresh and warm even when ordering about one hour from closing on the weekend. You can also pay to split your drink into two smaller cups which is a nice option!

I'm always looking for new small businesses to support, so I was rooting for a positive experience. I'm very picky when it comes to how my sandwich is prepared. I hate dry sandwiches!

After taking my first bite, I got that mmmmm good feeling throughout my body! The sandwich was juicy, just how I like it. They have some kind of secret garlic sauce that they toss in with the lettuce, which was a nice touch and delicious!!!! It taste speciality made with love. I also tried my husband's pastrami sandwich and it was good too. I ended up ordering one to go for dinner because I'm greedy. The owner and staff were so attentive and welcoming to everyone coming in and out. It was extremely clean and comfortable. I also ordered the Apple Cinnamon cake, and it melted in my mouth. It was so good, with the right amount of sweetness. Another plus side is, there is parking in the back which was super convenient.

And then, when I told her the shape of the Styrofoam, she flat out said no. As if the shape of the Styrofoam changes the action? And I'm not a baker, at least not a professional one, but something feels off about what feels like the refusal to help me. And it's not like I am looking for free service, I'm willing to pay, but I'm not willing to pay cake prices for icing on Styrofoam. Saying no, as a business is OK, I'm all for it. But customer service needs a serious rebranding. I have never had a good in person/over the phone experience. Their food speaks for itself, but the customer service skills really takes away the value of a local business that has been around for years. I hope whoever I spoke on the phone with has a better day

I recently stumbled upon this charming boba spot in Sunvalley Mall, Concord, while visiting from out of town, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! This cute little gem offers a delightful selection of drinks that are both delicious and refreshing. I tried the red guava slush with coconut jelly, and it was absolutely perfect for a warm day! My husband and kids tried the Thai tea, matcha, and taro were equally delightful--each sip was a treat. The customer service was fantastic as well; the staff was friendly and attentive, making the visit even more enjoyable. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for some tasty boba. read more
