Simplee Boba - Lavender Milk Tea - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Montrose, California

Was pretty quiet since it was a rainy day. Sundeep was quite patient and friendly. Quickly got my order ready to go. I changed things a bit this time got a rose milk tea instead of jasmine green milk tea. But the base of the tea with rose syrup that I choose was green tea. I recommend 25%sugar else it gets too sweet. read more

Simplee Boba - Empty - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Montrose, California

I was in the area with my mom for a craft fair and we wanted something sweet to walk around with. It's on the side street of the main street the fair was on Honolulu Ave. The cashier was really friendly and she was super sweet, I got a strawberry matcha with boba and almond milk and my mom got the strawberry banana smoothie. There was one girl that ordered ahead of us so I knew it shouldn't take long, but I was wrong. I also ordered a regular size but the guy made it in a large cup so I'll take it for how long we waited (made up for it). Taste: 7/10 the strawberry matcha was good, boba was a little sticky instead of squishy. 10/10 for the smoothie my mom enjoyed it (no complaints) read more

Owners are nice. Tea is decent, would recommend. The downsides: one employee is consistently unpleasant, borderline rude. I also noticed when she's working, she doesn't turn on the "OPEN" sign. So, be sure to check the door. They look closed, but are open read more

Whenever I'm in Montrose, I normally come to Simplee Boba. I love their Mango Black Tea and ocassionally their Mango Slush and House Milk Tea. Their place is great, offering claw machines, fun games, tons of seating tables, display of snacks, and a bathroom. Their service is great and they always make my drinks good. read more

Employee handling the making of an acai bowl with bare hands and no gloves! What's worse is she got peanut butter on her hand and I literally watched her lick her finger and then cut up the banana with the same hands. Also bowl was completely wrong - ordered toppings of strawberries, granola and got banana, almonds and pepita seeds. Left the bowl on the counter and left. GROSS!!! read more

I've been coming with my family for a while. My daughter always gets the mango tea with boba. I've tried their strawberry horchata as well as their juices and the iced coffee. All good! There used to be a claw machine and other coin machines but they recently renovated. It's always clean and service is friendly. read more

My barista Sophia was wonderful and the boba was delicious so was my açaí bowl delicious yummy! New favorite local place we will definitely be back! read more

This is the best BOBA place around. The menu has the best variety and the most unique drinks, and the customer service is great. This is the only BOBA place that doesn't do things to actively encourage you to use the screen (instead of a person) to order. read more

I was very disappointed with my visit to Simplee Boba today around 4:30 pm. The employee working at the time had a noticeably negative attitude and provided little to no customer service. My family and I felt unwelcome, which completely took away from the experience. On top of that, the shop itself looks run down. It appears to be in the middle of a very cheap remodel that hasn't been completed for months, giving the place an unfinished and neglected feel. Between the poor service and the condition of the space, this is not somewhere I would recommend! read more

Great service and lots of variety of flavors to choose from! Bobas are perfectly chewy.

A worker there named Esmeralda is so polite and helpful! I come in from time to time to get something nice after a bad day at work and she always brightens my day, very nice to see her working when I come in to order something! read more

great friendly place! always fast and taste delicious. always get it in between my dance classes

I've been here a few times. Mostly if I'm in the area. But it's been a while, and the last time I came in, it was pretty empty. There weren't any customers and no one behind the counter. I guess all the orders are done at the self-service kiosk. I bought a drink with boba. The tea was decent. The boba was meh. Not the best. Not the worst. I asked for less ice, but got about half a cupful of ice. The weirdest part was the service. I don't mind ordering from a kiosk, but after ordering we waited for quite a while on what seemed to be a slow day with no other customers. Looking into back area there only seemed to be one person working: a gentleman who seemed older, perhaps the owner--I don't know. What I do know is that he was staring at his phone while we were waiting for our drinks to be made. I kept waiting since maybe someone else was making our drinks out of view. But eventually I realized there was no one else there, and after getting the guy's attention, he promptly started making our drinks. I'm curious how long we would have waited if I hadn't gotten his attention. If he's the owner, he really doesn't seem to care much about his customers or business. The only redeeming quality was the flavor of the tea. But between the lackluster boba and terrible service, and given the saturation of boba places everywhere, I don't know if we'll be back. read more

Guys. This establishment has employed one of the finest employees I've encountered in the food service industry in YEARS. Her name is Megan Cruz, and although we shared a brief interaction, she genuinely changed my life.I walked in and was immediately greeted with her glowing smile and charming charisma. GUYS this girl is GOOD at small talk. It felt like we had been friends for years. She didn't judge my order at all (I just wanted a 1/4 cup of boba... it was just one of those days, haha). She did not make me feel shame because I was just in that moooood lol. On top of that, I asked her to give me numbers for my lotto ticket, and spoiler alert, won 10k. Mic drop. So literally the second I finish writing this review, I'm going over to bring her her tithing to this glorious being, Megan Cruz. Don't forget that name, guys. Seriously. Anyways, moral of the story: the boba was magnificent, the best I've had in years. And you know how things just taste better when you've had good customer service? Yeah. That was me. It was just one of those days LOL. She changed my life. I LOVE SIMPLEE BOBAAAA WOOOOHOOO!!! This interaction led me to tip her $100, it was just one of those days, you know what I mean. And I know this woman has a good soul because when my other wad of cash fell out of my pocket, she ran into the parking lot to return it to me. This woman is a living saint. This is the best establishment EVER. So to all who may stumble upon this humble Yelp review, let me reassure you: you will not find another establishment as fine as this one in the Fair District of Montrose. Megan beats them all. Say it with me, fellas: WE LOVE MEGAN! WE LOVE MEGAN! WE LOVE MEGAN! I highly encourage you to tip this young woman generously. She deserves it. Freaking glorious, Megan. SIMPLEE THE BEST better than all the rest, she's the boba best boba shop worker, #megforsimpleebobaemployeeoftheyear! read more

Drinks were awful. The two people behind the counter did not seem to know what they were doing. Drinks tasted like milk only with any of the tea/caffeine. Don't come here. read more

Lavender iced boba?! Obbsseessseddd! I do love how lavendar tastes and smells; don't get me started on my love for boba. But I never thought I'd exist in a world where I could taste a lavendar boba drink. I'm so blessed Simplee Boba is my spot! Located at the heart of Montrose, Simplee Boba is a lovely boba joint. They have various flavors and blends of drinks, with or without boba. I've tried smoothie, slushies, and iced teas. My top 2 is the lavender drink and rose one - with EXTRA boba of course!! Parking is super easy at Montrose. Metered street parking available as well as littl parking lots around Montrose if you want to explore the little area with your delicious boba drink! read more

A boba shop with good, chewy boba like the chain boba joints!! My friends and I loved our drinks. - very Yummo Signature milk tea has its own taste, not like other boba places-75% perfect sweet. Boba slightly sweetened, wished it was soaked in more syrup. Jasmine Mango Passionfruit tea is also similar to a regular boba shop :) Self service kiosks, easy to order. read more

Butterfly limeaid nice tart and sweet just like me Their peach guava green tea was over steep and very tart. Their salted caramel milk tea was amazing ! Perfect, at first I thought too sweet but then it was actually just right ! The staff was nice enough to change my green tea cause I just couldn't do it. Sadly the replacement was still bitter, I still think it's the tea. But the boba and the egg pudding is good. It's nice boba is free ! Their side room is like a storage room but at least for a small place it has seating . It's a cute little place. Seems like something that would be around like a middle school where children would like to hang out. read more

Simplee Boba - Split cup - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Montrose, California

I felt like I was ordering from a vending machine here. I couldn't see any employees when I walked in and I ordered from a machine. The service feels impersonal and faceless. I ordered a strawberry house milk tea and I asked for light ice but they gave me no ice which quickly got warm in my hand on an 82 degree day. I'm so disappointed in the taste, it tasted too artificial. AND it was $6 for a regular size which was pretty small. They also have a bit too many options that the menu is overwhelming. I would rather go to my regular boba place a little further away in La Canada which has a more cool and welcoming vibe and simpler menu. read more

I love this place! This place is my go to. It's so hard to find a natural juice place around this area, but not only natural juices, but there is coffee, boba, tea and so much more. The staff is super and amazing! I have had different cravings and they have tackled each one. There was this one guy who was awesome. He went out of his way to create a drink that I wanted. Goodness!! It was fantastic! So heavenly. It was one of a kind for sure. I haven't been able to get the same drink again. Ahh. *chef's kiss* Kudos! Ooo!!! Note: If you want natural juices, they do it all day BUT apparently stop @8PM. SO RUSH IN THERE BEFORE THEN!!! I left with my craving (especially now that I am pregnant). Haha. read more

Simplee Boba - Counter / Menu - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Montrose, California

We go to Simplee on a regular basis because of their variety, pricing, location, & convenient hours. Recently though, quality seems to have slipped. One of the items that we often get is their açaí bowl but the fruit in a recent purchase was surprisingly below standard. The bananas & mangoes did not look as fresh as they have in the past. Hopefully, this incident was a fluke. Fortunately, there are other option close but it's nice to be able to get our açaí bowl @ the same place that we get our boba. read more

You know...for a boba chain, this place isn't half bad. The quality of the boba and drink flavors is consistent and there is a myriad of flavors to choose. This time, we opted for the strawberry hibiscus coconut milk boba and the spicy watermelon slush. We both loved them. The strawberry hibiscus drink was too sweet for my liking but my boyfriend loved it, and I should have asked for less sweetener for the watermelon drink but it was tangy and spicy from the Tajin. Delicious!!! PARKING Available on the street or the lot on Florencita read more

Pleasant little spot run by friendly, young staff just on Oceanview north of Honolulu Avenue in the still mostly sleeper village of Montrose which could be a good candidate for a 3rd remake of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Somebody who named the street Honolulu must have had a wild imagination or a deep yearning for the Polynesian isles since there is nothing Hawai'ian about this street. However, on a crystal clear day, you can see the Pacific Ocean. In come influences from another island, Taiwan, in the form of Bobaloca. "Bubble tea (also known as pearl milk tea, bubble milk tea, boba juice, boba tea, or simply boba) is a Taiwanese tea-based drink invented in Tainan and Taichung in the 1980s." However, I ordered the Shaved Snow. In contrast to Japanese or its derivative, Hawai'ian Shaved Ice, instead of using flavourless ice, Bobaloca's Taiwanese version uses ice sweetened & flavoured by what may be condensed milk. Garnished with Boba Coffee, Red Bean, Lychee Jelly, fresh Kiwi, Mango, Strawberry, Vanilla Ice Cream, Condensed Milk, Boba. It's like having a fruit salad with all the fresh fruits adding a bit of acidity & natural sweet flavour nuances. But for me, the already milky sweet shaved snow, sugar braised red bean, sweet boba coffee, vanilla ice cream, slathering of thickened, sweetened condensed milk was sugary overkill. On a sweltering summer afternoon, Bobaloca's shaved ice failed to made a dent in slaking away the thirst inducing summer heat. In fact, with all the sugar sweetness, it made me even thirstier. The flavours were right, but big fail in not being a light, refreshing estival delight. 3- Yelp stars. read more

This is one if my daughter's favorite spots but today I went in alone fortunately. I was early to pick up my son from school and was craving something cold to offset the triple digit temperature outside. As soon as I walked in, I couldn't help but hear the "music" playing in the shop. After placing my order, I asked the young lady behind the counter if they could avoid songs littered with the n word in the future because I don't want my children hearing them. What impressed me was the genuine apology that came from the young lady and the prompt change of the station. Thank you! And btw, her 'avocado smoothie with almond milk' recommendation was awesome too. read more

I believe I ordered an earl grey tea with cheese foam on top. It was pretty good, although not the best I've had. The flavor was mild and I wish it were a little stronger. They let me and my friend stay awhile talking without rushing us to leave even if the seats are limited. Service was as friendly and place was clean. read more

This place has always been inconsistent at best. I went here on a Friday night, not too busy. One person working the stand and doing everyone's orders. I ordered a Milk Tea with boba. I am dead certain the milk was expired because I have never had to take a sip of milk tea and spit out the drink. I asked my friend to try it just to make sure I wasn't crazy. He was also certain the milk was expired. Will never come back and I am extremely disappointed. WATCH OUT! read more

Do you like drinking your veggies? I do. Yes, it may be a bit pricier to have someone else select, wash and prepare your greens. But after having thrown out tons (literally) of vegetables past their prime, it may not be such a bad deal after all. Harvest does a great job pressing the green juices and other smoothies that have become as common as a cup of coffee on the City of Angels. All vegan, they fill a niche that had been empty here in Montrose with flavor and style . Prices are reasonable compared to the Westside. A Yelp check-in yields 15 percent off. Street parking. read more

My first time since they've changed owners. The place looks similar with nice clean set up. Ordered their kiwi slush and honeydew slush. Both were refreshing. My only drawback was they have a trash bin below the pick up counter. I had to reach in to throw out my straw wrappers. When getting up from under the counter, I bumped my head pretty badly on the edge of the sharp metal counter leaving a huge bump on the top of my head. I wanted to make sure no one else will run into this problem when reading this review. I hope the owner will consider moving the trash bin away from under the counter. read more

Visited July 4th, 2016 Formally Harvest Juice I was a little surprised that Harvest Juice no longer is open, but I was thrilled to see that it is now a boba place! The boba tasted good and it was fresh. The décor changed a little and it was clean, comfortable, and inviting. They still have a few board games there that you can play. They also still have one parking spot located on the side of the building, but it still is labeled as Harvest Juice. They really should change that. There is plenty of metered street parking. There is also a free parking lot short walk away which is shared with other businesses. Get the SpotOn rewards card to earn a free drink! read more

I love boba teas here. Their flavors are good and the double-flavor cup is a brilliant idea. One of the employees (white young guy) was NOT wearing a mask while making the drinks. He was talking all over our drinks that were non-sealed!!! This is unacceptable! Please keep the safety rule for your customers & employees. read more
