It shares a large parking lot with lots of neighboring stores, but there is almost always a convenient place to park. Second - they have a nice selection of drinks and great service.

The baristas know best, so I recommend just asking them for drinks they'd recommend. Third - very accommodating. There are seating arrangements both indoor and outdoor. The outdoor area is fenced and shaded, so it feels like a safe extension of the joint. There are restrooms for customers but it's on the other side of the cafe.

The environment was clean, laid back, and had nice subtle music. This is my first time here and I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk and turon (banana brown sugar syrup). I was interested in the syrup since it is part of my culture (turon). The syrup had a very strong artificial banana flavor which wasn't that good, but I got used to the flavor as I drank it. I would not order the same syrup though. I tried my boyfriend's mocha latte and it was really good! Still not sure of this place but I'll come back another time to see if their other drinks are good. They also provide a stamp card to get a free drink.

If you're a matcha enthusiast familiar with matchas in OC or even the popular cafes around Koreatown, Re:Coffee is very comparable. I like to get the matcha einspanner and it has a perfect balance of sweetness (choice of agave or vanilla sweetener) and earthiness.

The workers are always welcoming and nice! I've asked a few times for recommendations and they're always happy to share their opinions and suggestions.

Walked in around 11am today and was instantly greeted and they have kiosk available but the gentleman behind the counter said he could assist me when I was ready. I ordered a drink from their summer menu the cherry vanilla latte iced, its bomb and next I have to try their version of the dirty Dr. Pepper with espresso and I wanted their delicious BLTA but they were out of avocados ='( so I went with the grilled cheese with bacon and added tomatoes and their salsa. Their salsa is fire and I do know where they get it from but my lips are sealed. So, if you're in the area, like supporting smaller coffee shops, give them a shoot.

I visited Quickly Boba in Lake Balboa and had a good experience overall. The spot itself was nice, though I noticed that no one greeted us upon entering, which was fine, but a little warmth at the start always adds to the atmosphere. I ordered the taro shake, and I must say, it was tasty and hit the spot! However, the price seemed a bit too high for what you get. Overall, it's a decent place if you're craving boba, but the value might not match the cost for everyone. read more

When I was leaving the lot, I had only had 2 sips and I'd barely put the straw in. It basically exploded everywhere. I went back to explain to the guy and was like I didn't even drink it, I was just leaving the lot. And he just says it was intact when I gave you, maybe you need a plastic bag next time?? It looked like a cup defect to me which has never happened. He was rude and unhelpful; didn't really want to talk. Common courtesy would be to just replace the drink even if a smaller size. Never coming back. And look at the other reviews they'll also tell you how the customer service is here.

As soon as we walked into the establishment we were greeted and welcomed. The baristas answered all our questions regarding ingredients and food allergies. Also, plenty of parking spots available. Inside the establishment there's plenty of huge seats like couches while waiting for your drinks. Many just hanging out with friends playing board games while sipping their milk teas and specialty iced coffee drinks. The milk teas and specialty iced coffee drinks we've tried and enjoyed are the Ube Coffee, Coffee Brûlée, Bobo Coffee, Caramel Milk Tea, and Strawberry Milk Tea. We enjoyed the specialty coffee drinks because they were not too sweet. You can taste the espresso along with the ube and brulee yet it's not overwhelming taste. It's a good balance. We added Bobo The Boba to our list of go to milk teas and iced coffee drinks in the SFV and have shared this place to our social circles. We look forward to trying other items on their menu.

Update to review:…read more After hearing from owner Jay, I thought I'd elaborate here: The shop is probably a paradise for the little ones and their parents: Lots of cartoon-y imagery and colorful walls, and toys to buy; and a kind of 'lounge' that was quite adult in it's design which made for a little cognitive dissonance..that, plus the signs to please not jump on the furniture, lol. My visit was on one of those blisteringly hot days in August. I just wanted a boba milk or fruit tea, and there were a bewildering number of menu items that, granted, I reviewed in a cursory fashion because I was on a mission to get a boba and get back under that blistering sun to continue my errand run. I scanned for something to satisfy my thirst without packing on 500 calories, and noted that most items displayed seemed to have cream or custard, or all sorts of dessert-y items. It wasn't until I was finished with whatever it was I got -- some kind of fruity slushy with boba -- that I saw the small menu listing for milk or fruit teas. So my bad for that, but my observation still stands: This is a Gen Z sort of business with plexiglass partitions and the impersonal, contactless pay system -- do they take cash? -- that's for the convenience of the business, and not necessarily the customer, at least this customer who's obviously not their target market. Most people my age are watching their calories and macro nutrients, and proobably don't even drink boba drinks. They still use cash and even in a kid-oriented business, appreciate signage that is simple enough to read without every item screaming for attention. Finally, the contactless pay system so beloved by businesses that embraced it since Covid, really makes for an impersonal experience, IMHO, and does little to build customer loyalty. The young man who took my order was absent from the premises when I arrived and took awhile to show up. He then answered my questions, but didn't make the effort to ask me if he could help me find what I was looking for. That's another hallmark of businesses left to be run by inexperienced hands. The actual experience of the customer walking into a shop and giving you business should be thought through as carefully as the marketing, the menu, or design of the business. That's where the bucks get exchanged to keep the business thriving, no? All this said -- I think I am just too old for Bobo the Boba. I am not their target demographic and peeps under 40 may be fine with Bobo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Too fussy too Gen Z. Wanted a boba but navigating menu of frilly creamy mixes was a turn off. Wanted lower calorie drink options but didn't see until after I ordered.
