The guy working here was nice but I felt like he could have guided us a little better on our order…read moreand warned me about the mango milk tea tasting nothing like mango. We told him it was our first time at this boba location. I ended up ordering the mango milk tea and passion fruit milk tea. Mango milk tea 2/5 - it was so sour! It tasted like hibiscus and banana ? Nothing like mango milk teas that I have had for years and years at different boba spots. It was hard to drink and after a little bit the milk looked like it had weird powder particles in it Passion fruit milk tea 3/5 - it was a little bit better but had a strong black tea after taste. Unfortunately my friends stomach started being upset shortly after I wasn't sure expecting to find amazing boba in Bakersfield but this was definitely below average.

I placed a quick phone order for two avocado smoothies. (My favorite avocado smoothie place doesn't…read moreoffer it anymore). The person that took my order was very friendly and asked how long it would take me to arrive. I opted to pick up via drive thru so I didn't get to see the inside. The drive thru wait was minimal as there was a car in front of me. Unfortunately, the smoothies weren't the best. The flavor was lackluster and could barely taste any avocado flavor. The texture was more icy than creamy. The sweetness level was also below average. It also seems like they use ice/water? I didn't get any of the creaminess that I expected. It was quite disappointing so my quest for avocado smoothies continues.

Been here a couple of times & this is the best Vietnamese coffee spot in Bakersfield for sure! Not…read moreonly is the coffee super strong, the foam is sooo good (cream cheesy, salty and sweet) & it's really affordable too. The drinks usually come out pretty quick & are consistent every time :). The only thing that's kinda weird is how warm it is inside! I also don't think you can study here bc there's no WiFi -- but it would be a nice place to come and catch up w friends! Also, they're currently doing a 2 for 1 sale! (4/26/26). I took a short hiatus for a bit because I had a bad experience with one of the baristas being a bit short / rude lol, but thank you to Brandon for being so bright / helpful after I asked so many questions! I was able to make a decision pretty quickly after he allowed me to try a small sample of the tiramisu foam top. If you're somebody who likes the drinks pretty sweet, I would recommend getting a higher level of sweetness bc again, the coffee is pretty strong / bitter (just how I like it, personally). I really love the banana Vietnamese coffee (wish it was a banana top; but the bananas are blended in and you can def taste the chunks -- which I like bc I hate artificial banana taste) & the tiramisu Vietnamese coffee is super good as well. I have yet to try any other drinks yet bc the coffee is just so good :)

Upon walking in, this place smelled like bathroom deodorizer, which was odd for a boba place. The…read moreinterior was beautiful and cozy with a generous amount of tables for customers to lounge and enjoy. The worker (or probably the owner?), who took and made our order, was very friendly and welcoming. We ordered their cookies & cream boba drink and mango snowy drink. The cookies & cream was mediocre at best and boba was a little too hard. The Mango Snowy was HORRIBLE! First sip hit me with a medicine-like taste. An absolute NO for me. They have a variety of options to choose from but the ones we've tried were definitely not it. Try this place at your own risk.

Boba Time is an all-time OG and classic amongst all the boba places popping up everywhere. It is…read morelegit the place I would go back to when I'm tired of all the new ones or if I want a "comfort" boba. The best part is, not only are they consistent with their original flavors (like my fave coconut strawberry shake), but they also dabble with what's trending right now (match and dubai chocolate). This location is located in a very busy plaza but with a generous parking lot. It is pretty small compared to the one in the Valley Plaza mall but it is clean and organized. The staff is always attentive and welcoming. I highly recommend this place.

The banana cream top tastes good with the matcha, but it's not the best that I've had. This one reminds me of banana flavored things like Laffy Taffy rather than actual banana fruit flavor.

The service was quick and there's two self-serve kiosks available if you don't want to get into the queue. There's lots of seating and games to play if you're meeting up with friends.

It was very refreshing and I adjusted it to 70% sweet.

Found Presotea in Bakersfield and it was surprisingly good because the tea is freshly made every time. They're also on Snackpass for rewards points and online ordering. We stopped here on the way and also on the way back since it was so good. There's a great 3 for 2 deal which was perfect for our group of 3. For the free 3rd drink you can only get the Champagne Milk Tea but that's a very good one. Osmanthus Oolong was good, and the Jasmine was solid.

There are plenty of places to sit and hang out, and they have a clean bathroom for customers. The interior is also decorated nicely. Orders: Boba milk tea (25% sugar/less ice): a classic. I actually really enjoy the boba here. It has a v good consistency. Mango fantasy (25% sugar): a blended mango drink with sago. A delicious treat on hot day. Oolong milk tea (25% sugar, less ice, grass jelly): strong tea flavor. Super refreshing. Pairs well with the grass jelly. I don't like my drinks too sweet, so the 25% is perfect for me. You can customize yours to your liking.

I definitely won't be getting this drink again at this location, but will try others and can update the review then.

Dessert Food: 2/5 Drinks: 2.5/5…read moreService: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Seating: 4/5 Parking: 5/5 Located in a large shopping plaza, lots of unlimited free parking in the very large parking lot. Inside has a gray, modern aesthetic and some seating from bar stools to tables with chairs + booth. I think the ambiance is good to stay and chat with friends for awhile. Lots of options on the menu, the cashier was nice, customer service 4/5. Ordered Matcha Oreo Slush ($7.95), 2.5/5. It was sweet from the crushed oreos and chocolate drizzle on the side. Besides that, the slush itself didn't have too much of a taste, either too icy or milky. Costs $1 for water+ice cup. Ordered 3 piece Boong O Pang ($9.95 + $2 flavors), 2/5 . They were slightly crispy on the edges but mostly soft. I ordered the Oreo Nutella (+$1) which was my favorite though it didn't have too much Nutella filling. Next was regular custard which it appears they used a type of custard that's very sweet and more of a jello consistency. Last was Strawberry Custard (+$1), unfortunately it appears they used chunks of strawberries that either were out too long or stewed in something as the strawberries were very sour and soggy and tasted a bit fermented. It was these strawberry bits with the regular custard but the strawberries threw me off so I ended up not finishing. The underwhelming flavors on the inside and the lack of crisp on the outside made these soggy desserts that I would not order again.

They rotate their donut flavors kind of like Crumbl Cookies, so there's always something new to try. When I went, they had flavors like funnel cake, strawberry shortcake, matcha, cinnamon toast crunch, s'mores and honestly, all of them sounded good. The donuts themselves are super light, airy, not overly sweet, and just really fun with the flavors. They've also got boba teas and a bunch of other drinks, so it's a full treat-yourself kind of stop. If you're looking to switch it up from your usual Starbucks run or Dunkin' donut, this is definitely worth checking out. If I'm ever back in Bakersfield, I'm for sure coming back.
