    I was rolling down Sherman Way and thought, "hmmm I feel like a milk tea and boba!" So I pulled over to the side and hopped on Yelp. The closest one in my area was 4 mins away called a tea thing. I rolled up and parking was pretty bad. One section looks like it's one way so you can't even go down that section for parking if you are on the opposite of the entrance side. I also almost saw a car ram into another one for a park. They be fighting for parks over there lol. Anyway, I snagged a park and headed inside. Once inside, the place was very clean, with nice music playing and it was pretty busy with the two workers preparing drinks to get the rush out before me, so it took them a second to help me. It was all good because I was getting familiar with the menu. After they finished about 4 orders, they called me over to take my order. I had several questions and asked for suggestions. She was very helpful and I wanted to try something different so I went with a mango milk tea with 75% sugar lmao. It was probably the worst decision I could have made. I hated it and would never get it again anywhere, so it's not their fault. Would I go back again? Absolutely! I love their cups and the presentation. I'm pretty positive the drinks I'm familiar with are solid so I''ll stick to what I know, which is regular milk teas, taro and fruit teas. I also want to try their tornado drinks which are blended. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

    Sooo good Came back and tried their popcorn latte and it's strong and flavorful. Definitely recommend you try it if you like texture in your drinks. The person who took my order was very sweet and said this is a very popular drink in Korea & that the corn is not overwhelming in the drink & she was 100% right! 10/10 recommend coming here if you like strong coffee with unique flavors

    Drinks were good but I've had better in the area. Prices are a little high but comparable. No herbal options. Service is efficient and friendly. Ambience has dim lighting and a nice hang out vibe.

    I love this place and all of the employees are very friendly! The matcha 10/10 and I love the new vibe here :). Their Croffles are also really good I have yet to try them all

    Came in around 7PM on a Friday and it was super busy, but luckily there was still plenty of seating inside and parking available. I ordered the Oat Cream Oolong Fresh Milk Tea (32oz, 0% sweet) and it was SO good. The drink was creamy without being too heavy, and the topping paired really well with it. Also, the size for the price was pretty reasonable at $8. This will definitely be my go-to order, but I'm excited to come back and try more of their drinks!

    Good

    Tried this new spot today. I felt like I had been here before, but I can't recall. Not sure if that's a good thing or if all boba places just look the same to me now. I go to so many, and only a few stand out as unique; most tend to have the same layout, tables everywhere, the same colored walls, a bathroom in the corner, and their menu close to the register. This is pretty much the same; nothing inside caught my attention as unique or wowed me in any way. The staff member was bland, kind of like she was over her day, not excited to say hello or sell me some tea. Just "Can I take your order?" She did help me choose my drink and helped me with the choices, but I would say it was a bland interaction. Boba was good; I got the tropical tea, which was good, and got another tea for my lady. I did not try it, but she said it was good. Teas were pretty good, standard but nothing special like I said; the place felt like your average boba spot, nothing I would go out of my way for, especially when I live in Noho and I have better options over there. Unfortunately, if I do come back to the Reseda area, I prefer Bon Bon Tea House. So I may not return here for a while unless my girl wants her drink; she claims they made her brown sugar tea really well.

    Ordered on DoorDash. The drinks came without a seal on the lids. This is not a healthy and clean practice. I called back the place to suggest that in the future, they may want to put a tape on the lids for safety on deliveries, the girl put me on hold and then hang up after 5 minutes. Never got a chance to tell them. Just saying!

    Loved this little place , matcha was good definitely going back. Service was good as well

    Brown Sugar Milk Drink ( Boba included )

    Very good boba! I did ask for 100% sweetness and it was VERY sweet, I recommend 50% for a normal sweetness amount. Reasonably priced, and many places to sit! Service was great, the employees were all so nice.

    Creme Brulee Milk Tea & GREEN Thai Tea
    Stephanie P.

    a tea thing is one of my favorite boba spots in the valley so this is a long overdue review! parking: can be a little difficult sometimes. same plaza as the dennys. what's weird is that there's a section with double parking. on weekend nights parking can be a little tough, but spots will clear up with patience inside: lots of seating, very clean. i like the minimal aesthetic they got going on. there is tables, outlets, & wifi if you ever want a boba spot to work or spend some time hanging out at. drinks: my ultimate favorite right now is their green thai tea! it's floral & just the right amount of sweetness. what i like about a tea thing is that their drinks are consistent, their workers do a great job with the drinks even during a rush!

    Just happened to be here. Saw this quaint little place. Great vibes so i decided to try it. I did a strawberry milk and is was fantastic. Boba is fresh milk was great. Service was super quick I would recommend this place for you guys to try

    Irene C.

    Great flavors. The boba texture wasn't my favorite, but the drink itself was delicious and refreshing. Solid 4/5 for me.

    Thai Green Tea (Large)

    Added A Tea Thing to my bookmarks after encountering limited options for milk teas in the SFV area (versus SGV)... and finally gave it a try! Compared to most quick service cafes and tea places that I've been to, service was not the most welcoming. Sometimes, there may be 3-4 staff working but all in the kitchen. (Perhaps they could invest in a camera or a sensor?) A mixed drink I've never seen was the Thai Green tea - despite how basic it is - and I have to admit I could conceptualize the flavor but didn't quite enjoy it. Perhaps it was the 25% sugar adjustment, but this is generally enough for my taste buds, and it did feel bland. I will admit their small to large size ratio is quite drastic... but without a middle option.. gotta get that bang for he buck, but with no middle option feels a bit pressuring. Drink aside, parking was easy to find here, albeit the location itself didn't feel the most safe. There was a good trickle of customers on a late Friday afternoon, and the atmosphere was otherwise light. Staff were often socializing and at times not present at the front but rather in the kitchen.

This location is so cute, its tucked into a small shopping center on Reseda and Vanowen and I love how decorated the shop as well, its consistent as well with their other locations and there was plenty of parking but I do see that parking lot can get congested since theres an El Pollo Loco drive thru and a 7/11. 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.

They have indoor and outdoor seating options. BUT BEWARE indoor seating gets competitive. Especially on a hot day, you'll often see people moving from seat to seat to get away from the entrance or are waiting for a seat to be freed inside. It's a great place for anything really. I've had hours of conversations, reading and work done here. I've also seen many others do the same. My main con with this place is the parking situation. The parking lot is TINY, so you have to park locally. That's about a 3-5 minute walking distance from the store. I normally wouldn't mind, but it bothers me on hot days. The food is so interesting. They have both healthy and hearty options at a competitive price. It's the classic Chicken & Waffles, Avocado Toast, Bouquet Burrito (a breakfast burrito) and Breakfast Tacos. Someone in the kitchen also likes kimchi and loves mixing it in their food because they also serve Kimchi Breakfast Tacos and Kimchi Grilled Cheese. I don't know how many visits it'll take to fully experience this place, but I think it's worth it.

    This review is long overdue…read more I've been a House Roots regular since they opened their SFV shop many years ago and frequent the bakery as well. This location is the newest (only about a year or so?) of the three. Each store has a similar and yet distinct style/focus. This shop is located on the ground level of an apartment/leasing space, so if you're not looking for it, it can be missed/mistaken. Parking at first glance also seems difficult but don't worry, there's plenty in the parking garage behind the shop/ below the apartment building. The shop itself is beautiful! Compared to the other two locations, this location is most spacious; There's outdoor seating as well and indoor seating. It's pretty family friendly and equally accommodating to students/working professionals who need a place to do some work. There's a grab and go section, for those who need a quick bite as well as some food items- pastries and burritos. Overall, the environment is pretty relaxed and chill. As far as drinks go, I've tried several- everything from the drip, pour overs, espresso shots, americanos, sweet lattes, and pictured, both matcha and einspanner dreams from the last time I came with my husband and parents. Pricing is fair but most importantly, all their drinks are good! The espresso is good consistently which in turn makes all their coffee drinks delicious. All the speciality drinks are not overly sweet and well balanced, unless requested. Specifically from the last visit, the vanilla cream on top of the einspanner/matcha dreams were to die for. My husband, who isn't a coffee drinker also mentioned how good the matcha was, even with almond milk (he's lactose). If you want to venture out/explore something out of the usual drip or americano, I recommend the einspanner or matcha dream drinks! Besides the good coffee, all the Houseroots locations are set apart by their hospitality, and this shop is unparalleled. Every time I've come to grab a cup on my way to visit my parents or for an afternoon pick me up, all the baristas have been welcoming and warm. Northridge is always a treat, can't wait to come back when in the area!
