This is one of our go-to spots whenever we're craving boba. We've tried both their milk teas and fruit teas, and they've all been consistently good. One thing I really appreciate is that the drinks aren't overly sweet, so you can actually enjoy the flavors without feeling like you're drinking pure sugar. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the shop is clean and well-kept. There are plenty of boba places to choose from, but this is one we find ourselves coming back to again and again. read more

Visited: 4/1/26 & 4/26/26 DRINKS Dalgona Matcha Viet Coffee ($6.25) - 7/10 This drink was enjoyable overall, but the matcha didn't taste very high quality. It leaned more on the milky side rather than having that deeper, slightly earthy matcha flavor you'd expect. It still had a nice sweetness and was easy to drink, but if you're someone who really appreciates strong, authentic matcha, this might fall a bit short. Viet Coffee with Sea Salt Foam ($6.25) - 7.5/10 My sister ordered this at 50% sweetness, which ended up being a great choice since 100% would likely be overpowering. The sea salt foam added a nice creamy contrast that balanced the drink well. However, it didn't quite capture the rich taste of traditional Vietnamese coffee and instead tasted more like a sweeter, standard iced coffee. Still good, just not very authentic in flavor. The Nutty Latte ($6.75) - 4/10 This one wasn't for me at all. The texture was extremely thick and chunky, making it difficult and honestly unpleasant to drink. It felt like drinking straight peanut butter mixed with milk, and the chunks would sometimes get stuck in my throat. It also didn't resemble a latte in either texture or taste. Iced Rose Latte with Cheese Foam and Honey Boba ($6.25 + $0.85 + $0.85) - 7.5/10 If you enjoy floral drinks, especially rose, you'll likely enjoy this one. The rose flavor is definitely present without being too overpowering, and the cheese foam adds a slight savory contrast that keeps it interesting. The honey boba adds a bit of extra sweetness and texture. Overall, it's a solid drink, just nothing particularly standout compared to other rose lattes. FOOD Mozzarella Cheese Sticks ($5.25) - 6/10 These come with your choice of sauce, and I went with ranch. They're very standard mozzarella sticks, nothing particularly memorable or unique. The cheese wasn't as melty as I would've liked, and the breading was noticeably thick, which made them feel a bit heavy. They're fine if you're craving something fried, but not something I'd go out of my way to get again. Okonomi French Fries ($5.25) - 7/10 The sauce is definitely the highlight here! It has a slightly sweet flavor that makes the fries more enjoyable and adds something different. Unfortunately, the fries themselves were a bit underwhelming. They tasted slightly stale, lacked seasoning, and weren't as crispy as they should have been. Chicken Wings ($7.75) - 8.5/10 This was surprisingly the best item! The chicken was fresh, hot, and had a really satisfying crunch. While they weren't heavily seasoned on their own, the texture and freshness made up for it, and the ranch dipping sauce helped add more flavor. Definitely a solid choice if you want something savory alongside your drink. How to Order: Ordering is done through a touchpad system, which makes the process quick and easy, especially when it's busy. They also have a very wide variety of drinks on the menu, so there's something for pretty much everyone, whether you like coffee, tea, or more unique specialty drinks. Seating: This is a great place to study or hang out for longer periods of time. There's plenty of indoor seating along with accessible outlets, which makes it convenient if you need to get work done. However, it can get very loud and hectic during the week since a lot of students come here, sometimes to the point where it feels chaotic with people talking loudly or even yelling. Weekends are generally a bit calmer, but the music is still played fairly loud, so it may not be ideal if you're sensitive to noise unless you bring noise-canceling headphones. I didn't mind it at all and could work normally. Atmosphere: One big plus is that they're open late until midnight, which makes it a really convenient late-night spot whether you're studying or just want somewhere to relax. The shop itself has a modern, casual vibe, and the high traffic gives it a lively atmosphere, though that can be a downside depending on what you're looking for. Parking: It's located in a plaza, so parking is relatively easy and accessible. Restroom: The restroom requires a code to access and is relatively clean, which is always appreciated. read more

So my actual drink was good but my experience ordering wasn't good :/ I ordered ahead of time so that when I got there I could just go in and grab my Honeydew Slush but after 15 mins, my order wasn't ready yet. I started to wonder if there was only one person making all the drinks? There's one kiosk where you can order and every now and then someone will come out from the curtains to bring out orders. Just a weird set up and very slow service. The place is busy with CSUN students which is cool but almost 30 mins for 1 drink is way too long! Especially when I ordered ahead of time. People who were ordering from the Kiosk inside were getting their orders before me? haha I'm sure it's a good place and I just had a bad experience today! read more

The Ice Bar got a February promo on all matcha drinks! Just an fyi. This time I ordered a Viet coffee however with sea salt foam and 50% sweetness. I tried using the self serve kiosk. You choose a percentage for tip though, instead of entering it manually. Not a fan of that. Unless I may have missed something? Aside from that the drink was good! read more

The Ice Bar is my perfect escape from the business & chaos of Northridge. Located in a strip mall with lots of parking, The Ice Bar is the best place to go hang with friends, grab a refreshing drink or bunker down to study for hours on end. I've done all 3 of the aforementioned things on many occasions. I keep it simple & always order the Plain Fresh Green tea, it always comes out ice cold & consistently tastes great. There's a self serve kiosk if you don't feel like ordering with an employee but the employees always seem happy to help & answer any questions I have. They offer a handful of snacks & a pro tip: their ranch is DELICIOUS! I truly love The Ice Bar & I'm so so so happy to have it here in Northridge. read more

I had the best experience here, heather was so helpful and nice. The ambiance is very cool, lots of seating and I love that there is a touchscreen order screen for fast and easy ordering. I tried the strawberry milk tea which was amazing! If you like how milk tea tastes you'll love this as much as I did. It's a true milk tea flavor with a hint of strawberry. 10/10! I also had the chicken popcorn which was perfectly cooked, perfectly crispy, crunchy, and golden. I had it with ranch on the side. 10/10! Lastly, I had the strawberry dalgona with the matcha foam. The BEST drink I've ever had, truly. The whipped dalgona with strawberry flavoring was so good alone but with the thick matcha foam on top, it was even better. It tasted like true rich matcha flavoring and it's delicious. I will be coming back for this drink alone. I'm exited to try more drinks on the menu and to try the other food items as well. Thanks for having me! See you soon :) read more

My wife and I have been here a few times with one of our friends, usually we come here after leaving the sushi place, which is a few minutes away. Stuff are good, you can order on the screen and they have plenty of space. First time we came here, the place was empty, which was good as it was not loud, the second time it was really busy with many college students studying, and they have plenty of drinks, all good taste. Will return in the future. read more

The Thai tea with boba from Ice Bar was so refreshing! Rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. The boba was soft and chewy, making every sip even better. Definitely one of my favorite drinks! read more

Came here with a friend after having sushi in town. I had the jasmine milk and it was really good. This Boba place was a minute or two from another really busy Boba place that my husband and I have been to before and their drinks were OK. At this Boba place, we were able to talk as it wasn't super loud and they had plenty of space to sit. you can order on the screen, and ready in a few minutes. I would definitely return to this place again. read more

Good place for a late night boba run or a study session. Drinks are ordered on the kiosk and you can ring the bell up front if you have any questions or need any help. Staff is pretty welcoming and friendly. Seating area is clean and each booth has an outlet. Most of the drinks I've had here have been great, though the smoothies could use some work as I feel like the flavors are too artificial. My go-tos are the Banana Foam Matcha and the Jasmine Tea. I wish they'd bring back the Coconut Cloud Dalgona Matcha as that was my favorite. They offer different food items as well which is great if you need a mid-study session snack :) read more

On August 14th at 11:30 PM, we were hoping to enjoy some boba and decided to visit Ice Bar, as they were open until midnight. We ordered an oolong milk tea, a sea salt jasmine tea, and a taro milk tea. Unfortunately, the oolong milk tea seemed rather diluted, and the sea salt jasmine tea was over beyond salty. We didn't get the chance to try the taro the same day because we assumed it is going to be horrible. When we got the chance it was diluted as well. So, I called to complain and talked to the manager. She said the sea salt is supposed to be salty. Since we didn't drink the taro that night, we can't get a refund or exchange because tea sets?????? I never had this issue at Ice Bar. Sadly it did! read more

On September 1st, I had an extremely troubling experience at this location with the manager on duty, Carl. When I arrived, no staff were at the front counter, and because the restroom requires a code, I went through an unlocked side door to ask for assistance. As soon as I politely asked for the restroom code, Carl immediately became hostile, yelling and telling me to "get the fu#k out", effectively kicking me out without any valid reason. I explained that I had already placed an order and asked about my refund. Instead of addressing my concerns professionally, he again said, "Don't come at me like that, bro," in a rude and threatening tone. He refused to provide a receipt and only said that my refund would be credited back to my card in three days. Carl's conduct was aggressive, vulgar, and completely unacceptable, especially for someone in a managerial position. His behavior created a hostile and intimidating environment for me as a customer, for no legitimate reason. Being kicked out for politely asking for assistance is not only unprofessional but also reflects very poorly on the business. I strongly urge Ice Bar management to take immediate action and seriously consider terminating Carl's employment. Staff who behave in this way are damaging the reputation of your business and putting customers at risk of being treated aggressively or unfairly. For reference, I have included a picture of Carl at the bottom. read more

Very much a college area location. They offer different discounts with specific criteria periodically, but offers can't be combined. If you're a student or have a student, take advantage of that discount. I had their Taro Milk Tea and it was quite good, perfectly sweet. I also enjoyed their Popcorn Chicken, seasoned well, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Portions are pretty good too. There are several booths to eat at but they can get taken up pretty quickly depending on the time of day. The service was helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, at the time that we went, they were playing very loud heavy metal music and it was driving me crazy. I know I'm getting up there in age, but I feel like any normal person would just want moderate volume and maybe more a neutral sounding music? LOL! Anyway, enjoyed the food, but that part sticks out in my mind. read more

my friend loves this place so we went after dinner. I had it once and didn't think much of it but thought I should give it another chance since she was saying good things about it it's located next to a baskin robbins and the parking lot is a bit small, but I don't think people stay there too long so finding a parking spot was easy we ordered on a self-serve kiosk inside and there were lots of options to choose from! I ended up getting the milk foam jasmine green tea and it was actually really good! the foam made the drink creamier and it had a nice balance. the tea flavor wasnt too strong but it was still a good drink overall! we didn't interact with the worker too much aside from picking up our drinks but I think that happens when you order by yourself. overall, pretty solid boba spot in the area and I'm glad my friend suggested this place! read more

Had the brown sugar boba and it was delicious. The service was efficient, ordered via the machine. Will come back!

Food was good and boba was interesting. Service was slow because there was nobody in the front. The atmosphere was good as well.

I usually have a good experience here I love the drinks and come here often. However today I came in and my drink was missing its boba. Not a big problem so I just asked told the worker I was missing my boba and she rolled her eyes and took the drink. Then I got the drink back from a different worker with my boba. I just did not like the attitude I received when bringing to light the mistake that was made for the boba I paid for. read more

Ordered 50% sweet on my usual Viet coffee with foam but ended up way too sweet. Informed the cashier about it and she refused to replace and was told they will need to charge me again. This was on 10/31/25. Felt cheated for a $6 PLUS TIP drink. Never coming back here and telling my CSUN son and his friends never to go here. I have been to the Ice Bar at Simi Valley and customer experience is day and night compared to here. Simi Valley owner even offered to have us try their new flavor FOR FREE. read more

Please please give the girl working today, 10/23 some kind of raise or compensation. Witnessed an attempted robbery of the place and she handled it so well and then apologized to me?!

The Ice Bar - Thai Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Northridge, California

Small private lot with plenty of parking. The interior has a nice boba shop vibe with nice wall art of Los Angeles. The smell of fried foods was a bit off-putting though. They have a variety of drink options to choose from. 1. Dalogna Coffee (4.5/5) Very good coffee flavor and loved the foamy texture. Minus 0.5 stars because despite getting 0% sugar, it was still too sweet for me. 2. Signature Milk Tea with Red Bean and 0% sugar (3/5): It lacked tea flavor... it was mostly milky and sweet. The sugar must have come from the red bean, which they were generous on the amount they gave, but all the way too sweet. If I got anything but 0% sweetness level, it would be diabetes in a cup read more

My friends and I decided to go for a late night boba run in the valley when we stumbled upon this boba shop. It was the only one open until midnight and pretty much all of the seating was still filled by university students at around 11:30pm. The location is in the pocket of a small shopping center in the valley. Parking was easy to find right in front of the shop. At first, we were surprised that there were no screens exhibiting the menu or showing any visual representations of the drinks. However, they have a long list of drinks to choose from and a great variety. My friends and I opted for the 'Strawberry Taro with Boba' and 'Strawberry Green Tea with Boba' The Strawberry Taro with Boba was yummy! It definitely tasted like powdered taro but it was still great. I believe the strawberry was just strawberry syrup drizzled in the cup. We were delighted to taste the boba fresh at 30 minutes til closing as we've had experiences at other shops where the boba is very dull and hard hours before closing. The Strawberry Green Tea with Boba was also yum! The green tea wasn't too strong and the strawberry definitely balanced it out. The only complaint I would have is that the milk tea's had too much ice, maybe ask for light ice when you order. A big bonus is that they offer a student discount with proof like a student ID or canvas (10% off) which I think is nice! Overall, I would come again! read more

Stumbled across this as I was waiting for hair cut next door. Ordered the Dalgona matcha. Standard flavor, pretty good. Can't really taste the dalgona. Also ordered the regular milk tea with boba.

Came in after dinner lunch nearby and I'm on the hunt for best boba in the valley. Place was empty and clean when I arrived. Had to wait a few minutes before anyone came to the front to take orders, but cashier was friendly. I opted for the passion fruit green tea with mango jelly, i wish they had rainbow jelly as an option. Flavor of the drink was good, the jelly seemed to have a thick layer of syrup around them that was overly sweet. Not pleasant but after a lot of good stirring it mixed in with the tea and was fine. I would give them another try and test out their milk teas next time. read more

My favorite place to come for boba! As someone who has just recently become a fan of boba, I have to owe it to this place. I absolutely love their honey boba and it's the only kind I will ever get with my drinks. The vibe here has a coffee shop feel but definitely gets busy throughout the day. Even when they are busy I never feel like I'm waiting too long for a drink. The people who work here are very sweet and overall I really enjoy coming here! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here on a whim after a short trip to the mall. It's a cute concept, but not the cleanest environment (note the dirt near the vent near the ordering counter in attached lobby photo), and not the most welcoming either - they're using the glass paneling area surrounding the check out counter as storage for all their cups (also pictured), which means you really can't see anyone behind the counter when you first walk in to be properly greeted, or while making your drink. As a former barista at a popular chain (Starschmucks Coffee), this is a big no-no! The drinks, and boba were decent, and we appreciated the free fries you get with an order of 3 drinks. 4/5 in all because there's room for improvement around cleanliness, and a more welcoming environment. 5/5 for the drinks and fries (which come with varying levels of spice!) Note: They also had signs up they're hiring at the moment! read more
