I couldn't resist stopping by this adorable place that houses a boba shop right within a pharmacy store. It's like a sweet dose of unexpected delight amidst the medicine aisles.

This is my second time going to Medella Boba, first time was a week ago for a Yelp Elite event. I figured I would write a review for the business this second time around since I am a paying customer now. Overall I'm giving this boba spot 5 stars. Their drinks are fantastic! I had a coconut milk tea and it was delicious! Better than at a few other boba locations I've tried it at. I also bought a Green Apple Lemonade and it's really good, super refreshing. I also love the concept of the pharmacy and soda fountain shop reminiscent of the olden days (lol). For a weekend, it's not too busy with plenty of seats inside and plenty of parking. Overall, highly recommend Medella for some good Boba!

Perhaps the most unique new business to Downey to date is Medella Pharmacy and Boba. A popular hangout in the afternoons for Downey High students, I made my first visit here well in advance of their after school shenanigans for my own boba break. The staff is very nice and helpful. Don't be surprised if one is working in the pharmacy and comes out to greet you (and washes their hands before creating your drink). Good place for a refreshing iced tea or coffee... or both. The boba isn't my absolute favorite - it's just a bit too hard. Deeply appreciate this business helping out our daughters' PTA fundraiser. There is a separate Yelp page for the pharmacy: https://www.yelp.com/biz/medella-pharmacy-downey I currently do not have any prescriptions, but if my husband did not already have an effective relationship with the pharmacists at a chain in town, I would consider switching his prescriptions over to Medella. Hope they are doing okay through this COVID-19 quarantine. TIP + Grubhub currently fulfills delivery and takeout orders

I was quite confused as I drove up to this shop. It is a joint business with a Pharmacy, which is kinda cool! I look forward to visiting soon. | PROS | + Friendly service + Ordered a Horchata, and it was delicious! Boba was also nice and chewy + Clean inside + They offer a rewards system using your phone number + There is boba merchandise that is sold along with snacks + Yelp check-in offer: 20% off!

I've been to old pharmacy where they sell root beer floats/ice cream. This is a first for a pharmacy that sells BOBA. I love it. Definitely support a pharmacy who sells boba. I got the mango green tea. It's a pretty refreshing drink.

Very interesting vibe, the pharmacy store serves boba tea as well, tried their Thai tea with boba, flavor was better than a lot regular tea shops, thought the boba was too hard.

It was awkward coming to a boba spot that shared space with a pharmacy, but I looked past that fact and realized the drink was pretty good. I ordered a mango green tea boba. Felt like there was a good amount of mango flavor for my liking, but not enough boba added in so that was disappointing. Other than that, it also took a little longer to get my drink because there was only one guy working at the time since his colleague was on break. Overall, I'd come back at the end of the day!

Cute place, experienced no issues and a quick easy service. Definitely recommend for a quick fun hang out.

Super cute key chains for boba lovers

Such a cute boba spot, despite the weird location as some have said. Yes, it is inside a pharmacy but I think it's innovative and unique. The drinks were spot on and so delicious! If I lived in the area, I would definitely make this my boba/tea/slushee spot! I hope I can enjoy it more in the future when we are able to have indoor seating after this pandemic. Stay safe everyone :-)

Yolo's Café has quickly become one of our favorite spots for matcha! My husband and I usually get…read morethe Banana Matcha and the Biscoff Cookie Matcha, and both are incredible. The matcha flavor is just right not too overpowering and the cream cheese cold foam is seriously TO DIE FOR. Our favorite has to be the Banana Matcha, though! We've also tried their croffles, and we decided to share one... BIG mistake LOL. Next time, we're definitely getting our own! The workers are always super nice and greet us every time we come in, which I really appreciate. They also have a little punch card where you can earn a free drink once you fill it up, so of course we love that! The only downside is the parking lot. It fills up really quickly, and finding a spot can definitely be a pain, especially when it's busy. But honestly, that's a small inconvenience for how good everything is! We'll definitely be back!

I saw a TikTok about this cafe, and I was so excited to try it!…read more I got two Vanilla Lattes (Iced), one Matcha Latte (Iced) with Cream Cheese Cold Foam, one Matcha Latte (Iced) with Regular Cold Foam, and one Strawberry Matcha Latte. All of the drinks came with little breadsticks which I thought was so good dipping into the cold foams! The Matcha Latte (Iced) with Cream Cheese Cold Foam was delicious! The Cream Cheese Cold Foam isn't super overpowering, but you can taste it in your drink, and it tastes great. I've never seen it offered at other cafes, but I liked it! The Strawberry Matcha Latte had strawberry puree and strawberry bits in it so you had to drink it with a boba straw. The drink was good! The Matcha Latte (Iced) with Regular Cold Foam tasted great as well. It almost tasted like a Matcha KitKat so it was pretty good. The cafe itself was empty when I came in, but the cafe quickly filled up with big groups. There's plenty of seating and tables, and all the seats are padded and comfortable. I could see this cafe being a fun study spot. There's also some board games and manga if you come with a big group. Parking is a bit chaotic because the parking lot is all bumpy, but parking isn't hard to find in the plaza. The employee was very kind and helpful. We didn't know there was coffee on the menu until he pointed us to where it was. He made the drinks very quickly, and he was very informative about the drinks. I would come here again! There's so many drinks on the menu that I would love to try, and I love trying out a new study spot!

I was 16 years old when I first stepped into its boba time, it was magical. The second I stepped in…read moreI was greeted with warm smiles and friendly faces. "How was your day" the employee Melanie said. Those words broke me. That same day my boyfriend dumped me for my best friend. Devastated I drove far and wide. I ended up at its boba time and my mood instantly shifted. Those kind words Melanie said changed my perception on my whole day. This little boba shop made me learn that there is light in your dark times you just need to go far to find it. Now 5 years later every time I go home to visit my parents I go to its boba time. The only thing I have to say is if your lactose intolerant don't get the brown sugar boba, it gave me stomach troubles. But don't worry I gave it to my best friend. Ps, I dropped her right after.

The nastiest taiyaki I've ever tasted. It genuinely tasted expired. I let the employee know because…read moreI thought there might be an issue, and her response was simply, "It tastes like that." There was no attempt to address the concern or provide any customer service. To make matters worse, our hot drink was served in a clear plastic cup intended for cold beverages. That raises concerns about basic food safety practices, since hot drinks should be served in containers designed to handle high temperatures. The food quality, customer service, and attention to proper serving practices were all disappointing. I won't be returning. Please go to another Boba Time location, and safe yourself the disappointment and safety hazard.
