    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.

    Classic Milk Tea

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

    Only ice

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

    Cotton Candy Ice Cream Roll.. so yummy and pretty

And of course, you can't leave without trying the sesame balls--they were the perfect way to end the meal! Great food, friendly service, and a really good first impression overall. Highly recommend!

    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.

It happened repeatedly and felt really unhygienic. I complained because I wasn't comfortable taking a drink that had been handled by several strangers.

Please consider a better system (calling out names, keeping drinks behind the counter, or handing drinks directly to customers), especially during rush hours.

I just was not sure if the floral flavor paired well with the red bean filling I chose for the inside of my fish-shaped cone. We also ordered their matcha soft serve, which used to be my favorite, but the matcha flavor yesterday did not seem as strong as I remembered. Other than that, my experience was really great. The store was nice and clean, and even though we had a party of six, we were able to get the largest table, which was perfect. It was also very well air conditioned, which felt amazing given the unusually hot weather we have been having in Concord in the middle of March. I would definitely love to come back again soon and order their ube flavor, which is my favorite.
