Crème brûlée coffee
Ashley M.

I have started coming in here more regularly in the last couple of weeks and staff was so amazing! Just came in yesterday and saw they were closed

I go here when I need a pick me up lol. The Vietnamese coffee from here really does the work in waking me up and keeping me going, tastes great too. I love the green and brown which is a coffee with matcha cream top. If you not great with coffee though, a coffee from here might be too much, first time had me tweaking lmao. Service is always good and the place itself is a cute hangout spot. Has some games available and also a sticky note wall, you can draw your own and make it on the wall.

This coffee shop is located on the corner of Zelzah and chatsworth, plenty of parking on their lot or street as alternative. The coffee shop is small inside yet cozy and quiet. Ambiance includes dimmed lights which are helpful if you are using screen time or reading. I walked in and was greeted by the girl at the front and I proceeded to place my order for a mango matcha latte; iced. The bottom of the drink contains sweet mango jelly which I thought to a pretty creative for a matcha drink. Once mixed, the flavors balanced and it was not overly sweet. Matcha flavor was just right. I also bought a Labubu jelly. It was a delicate sweet treat paired up with my drink. I'd like to try out the coffee flavors next.

Nice little boba shop! I've only been to the last one a handful of times before they got replaced by these guys. The parking lot is extremely tiny but we've gotten lucky the past two times we've been here! A few customers, not super crowded, cute seating inside with a few tables as well. Drinks are made super quick which is nice. Their Vietnamese coffee is strong, as it should be! The boba however is just okay. The second time we visited, the chewiness was much better. The first one wasn't as chewy and almost as if the just microwaved it, that's the kind of texture it had. Overall their drinks are great and love the cute rounded cups! IG: @ammysalamii

I was craving some matcha and saw this place was down the street from where I was earlier. It's in a small shopping center, minimal parking up front otherwise it's street parking. Inside is tiny, some seating but it's more of a grab and go kinda spot. I got the strawberry matcha with almond milk to try out (no boba) and it's more on the bitter side of flavor. I like the "grassy" flavor of matcha so to me it was good, but if you want it a little sweeter have them add in honey or a syrup. Drink was made to order, came out quickly even with a few people ahead of me. Service was great and all the baristas were friendly!

Cocoa matcha on left and tiramisu Vietnamese on right

Solid coffee spot in Granada Hills! Parking lot is small but there is street parking available so it's not too bad. There are tables to sit inside. I like the menu because they had a lot of different matcha options. I opted for the cocoa matcha which I give them 5/5 for creativity. I've never seen matcha and cocoa combined before. I was a little disappointed that the only milk option was almond. But you can customize sweetness levels! Drinks came out fast and flavor was good! The Vietnamese coffee was good as well but since my husband got the tiramisu Vietnamese coffee, he said it was too sweet. I'm looking forward to trying more options next time!!

Creme brulee latte
Heather W.

I saw how fun the drinks looked and sounded so I couldn't wait to go and try. I ordered two different drinks to try. They were just ok to me. I wish it was a little sweeter with more flavor. When I went, I didn't see the fun toppings that were in a lot of the yelp photos. It's a tiny coffee shop with just a few tables. The setup could be different to utilize the space more. When I go for coffee with friends we like to go and stay for an hour or two and catch up, but I noticed no public restroom. This is not a place I would frequent because of that and catch up with friends. I would probably go again and give this place another shot but it won't be my go to daily spot.

Another great independent coffee and boba shop has opened in the valley and this place is great for studying, catching up with a friend, or to just chill and read a book. I had the creme brûlée Vietnamese iced coffee and it was perfect as is. Vietnamese coffee is known to be sweetened with condensed milk and strong. It's the only coffee that keeps me up at night and this cup definitely kept me tossing and turning all night. I went during Granda Hills holiday parade event on a Sunday afternoon so they were definitely slammed with parade goers but they were very efficient with the rush. Service was quick and friendly and parking in a small lot with other small businesses.

After shopping at a nearby store I came here to get coffee. Found them on Yelp of course. They have boba as well. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee and asked the barista to make it less sweeter than usual. He was so nice he went and got a sample of the coffee and asked me if I want it less sweet. I said yes and sure enough he made it perfect. I enjoyed every sip. Really delicious. Now that's what a great customer service is. They have indoor seating and a bench outside. Great place to stop by, many drinks to choose from. Ambiance is chill.

Sea Salt Coffee with chocolate chip Labubu and Green and Brown Coffee with chocolate chip Labubu.
Shik P.

First time at Urban Strip and so glad we stopped by to try them out. One of our friends told us about Urban Strp as they know we love specialty coffee drinks and milk teas. Urban Strip specialty coffee and milk tea shop is so cute and welcoming. As soon as we walked in we saw the cute Labubus at the order counter. The setting of the place was very modern and open with huge glass window and bench style seating. The cashier was awesome and provided excellent customer service. We ordered Green and Brown Coffe and Sea Salt Coffee with chocolate gelatin Labubus as toppings. Love the Sea Salt Coffee. You can tast the Vietnamese coffee and sea salt. It was a good balance as one did not overtake the flavor of another. The sea salt foam was a perfect balance to the strong Vietnamese coffee. The Labubu chocolate chip gelatin was a good blend to the Vietnamese sea salt foam. The Green and Brown Coffee was delicious and a superb blend of Vietnamese coffee and matcha. Can't wait to come back to try other items on the menu.

The girl ( cashier ) claimed that this was an egg coffee.

I arrived at the café around 6:33 PM, but I didn't receive my drink until approximately 6:45-6:50 PM. The first drink that was supposed to be ready on the counter when I arrived was not there. To make matters worse, the drink I eventually received was incorrect--it was a Vietnamese Salt Cream Coffee instead of the drink I had ordered. I immediately informed the girl at the counter about the mistake, as my family was having dinner next door. However, she insisted that the drink was correct. When I explained that it tasted like salt cream coffee, she turned around and told her male co-worker, who then remade the drink for me. The three-star rating is solely because of the male co-worker's effort to correct the issue. Unfortunately, the female employee's attitude was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional.

This is a nice hidden gem for coffee! Parking was easy, plenty of parking mid day. The shop is small but still has seating if you want to hangout. The baristas were so friendly and made my drink super quick. I got an iced Saigon street coffee and it was so flavorful and delicious, and it woke me up! I will definitely be back!

Creamy Thai Tea with Boba
Yesenia R.

This is a whole on the wall boba joint in Granada hills. They have a few drinks on the menu and The creamy Thai tea with boba caught my attention. The drink was the perfect sweetness. The boba was perfectly soft not too chewy. The staff was friendly and was able to answer questions about the ingredients on some drinks. I will definitely be coming back to try their matcha.

We found a new boba and specialty coffee drinks in Northridge thanks to our child. Excellent…read morecustomer service and consistent in providing both excellent customer service and really delicious milk tea and specialty iced coffee drinks. Thank you Angel. 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.

I came here on Easter Sunday (today)…read more And let me just say, the customer service provided by Adrian and Sophia was amazingly beyond exceptional!!!! These days, I'm scared about coming to food places only because I have A LOT of dietary restrictions. And because of that, I need to ask employees the ingredients that go into various foods and drinks. This typically makes feel really bad, and the employees need to do extra work than needed because of what I'm dealing with. BUT Sophia, and Adrian did not mind that at all. They were able to answer all of my questions, and helped me out so much!!!! :D I was able to find something that I can have, and I was super happy as a result of that. So once again, SHOUT OUT TO ADRIAN AND SOPHIA FOR THE AMAZING SERVICE THEY GAVE TO ME, AND ANY OTHER CUSTOMER THEY SERVE!!!!! 10/10. And if you're a decent human, you should definitely make it a point to give the staff a tip because it is truly well deserved!!! Keep up the good work Adrian and Sophia!!!!
