    Indoor couch and chair seating with large window.

    If you're looking for a new drink spot in the San Fernando Valley, BLTea is absolutely worth a try. Their menu is incredibly diverse and often shifts with the seasons. Unless you're ordering one of their staple beverages, don't get too attached to your drink of choice, as it may be gone sooner than you think! The Mango Sticky Rice is my personal favorite, but it's only around for the spring and summer. Get it while you can! Many boba shops in the San Fernando Valley adopt a function-over-form mindset, and aren't any fun to sit in. Even though BLTea is located in a smaller unit compared to its neighbors, they've really nailed the aesthetics and maximized their seating for their customers. It's a comfortable spot to relax in. My only point of contention is their service. I have found that interacting with some of their staff has been... difficult. When I am the sole member of my party, a few of their all-female front-of-house are quite curt and unwelcoming. However, when I'm with my female friends, they get treated with absolute kindness and professionalism (even during the same order). I really enjoy coming to BLTea for their drinks, but I often leave with a sour taste in my mouth because of this seemingly discriminate behavior. This is simply a personal experience I thought worth sharing for my fellow men, and does not apply to all of their staff. Truly a tough three star to give, as it has absolutely nothing to do with their excellent product. Regardless, BLTea is a solid choice for your next specialty drink fix, and I hope your service experience is better than mine! Picture courtesy of corner.inc online gallery.

    Mochi Mango Sticky Rice Ube
    Donovan G.

    Stopped by with my daughter for a sweet snack and everything was delicious. We had the mango sticky rice ube treats and boba. Every item was fresh, flavorful and beautifully made. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommended!

    I stopped by this tea place to get my wife a drink since I was already in the plaza this store is in for a Yelp event next door. I found parking just fine but parking can be hard to find depending on when you come. When I walked inside, all the workers greeted me. I look at their menu and called my wife. She said the passionade and fruit tea looked good but I should ask which one they recommend. The lady working the cashier recommend the passionade so I got a large one and asked for light ice. The place isn't that big inside. They made my order quick and I went to the other side to pick it up. I took it home and my wife loved her drink. It wasn't too sweet or plain and they put light ice like I asked.

    Mango/pandan sticky rice mochi blew

    EXCUSE YOUR FINEST PARDON?! The mango/pandan sticky rice mochi blew my mind. I literally came here bc I saw the product on my tic tok feed when I was, of course looking up ube places near me (I need my fix of ube every now and then) I ordered the Mango coco seasonal drink too and that was great! Not too sweet. It's located in a plaza right next to the gas station and I found parking right in front. The atmosphere is cute and cozy w plants. Service is friendly. They offered to cut my mochi.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Pretty decent boba shop near my house. I got boba milk tea and it was classic, I saw a lot of customers in line and also people hanging out inside. Seems like they are known for their matcha drinks. I will have to come back here and try more of their drinks.

    Mango coconut slush drink with boba

    I've been twice to this spot in the valley. The spot is in a small parking plaza with ample parking. Overall, BLTea is more of a social spot versus a working spot, but we were able to chill there for a few hours on our laptops. The first visit, I tried their mango coconut drink (actually not sure if they still have it) and an Oreo cookie (not pictured). Both items were solid! During this second visit I tried the banana cream matcha with oat milk and the cream cheese Oreo milk tea. Drinks are solid, and I'm particularly impressed with the matcha. Matcha lovers know boba-centered spots don't particularly have the best matcha, as their focus is on overall drinks. But the matcha here is earthy, not bitter, and meshes well with the fun toppings. Don't expect the best matcha of your life or expect a matcha like those in Koreatown, but it's solid. This second visit, I believe we snagged the only outlet behind the plants and non-working self-service kiosk, so keep that in mind. Service is good but it can get busy and I saw some other folks waiting a while. They also have a stamp card! Overall, great spot in the valley and will definitely be back!

    Banana Pudding Latte
    Kelly K.

    I'm on the hunt for the best banana latte in the city. This one was somewhere in the middle, the coffee was great but there could have been more banana flavor. I still really enjoyed the drink, and the staff was great!

    Banana Pudding Latte Vietnamese Coffee
    Stephanie B.

    Cute place, nice staff but I would go elsewhere for specialty coffee; it was very sweet w/o the coffee flavor. Great flavor on the banana latte but it's more of a dessert rather than a coffee & the Vietnamese coffee didn't have that bold coffee taste that it should; didn't even finish my drink because of how underwhelming it was.. Maybe their boba drinks are good but I would not come here for coffee.

    Coffee Dalgona viet coffee
    Crystal M.

    4.5 stars Drinks are easily 5-star worthy--super delicious, vibrant, and smooth. I'd definitely return when I'm in the area. Great variety, and they offer vegan/non-dairy milk, which is a plus. Be prepared to wait if it's busy. The place gets packed, and with limited seating, the stand-and-wait time can be long, which is where the .5 star deduction comes in. Staff was busy but still friendly, with minimal interaction.

    Carrot Cake Latte
    Melissa L.

    I've been to BLTea a couple of times and have always had a pleasant experience. Service is great and staff is friendly and attentive. It can get busy so sometimes drinks take a little longer to come out, but the quality is still there! I really love the seasonal drinks they offer, like the carrot cake latte. There is some room to sit and study or catch up with friends, and it's very nicely decorated. Will definitely keep coming back to try all the different drinks!

    I found BLTea accidentally, I guess you can say. I was on my way to get coffee but the spot I was going to was closed. Undeterred, I went on Yelp to search for a nearby coffee place and one of the results was BLTea. So I quickly looked through their Yelp page to see what they had before driving over. When I got there the girl at the counter was incredibly friendly. She helped me decide on my Pistachio coffee with Espresso with the matcha cake. She also helped me decide that the next time I visit and there will be a next time I am going with a matcha drink and ube cheese Wait, I have gotten ahead of myself. My coffee had a great flavor and my dessert was incredibly moist; delicious! I am looking forward to going back!!

    Came here after brunch because I needed something cold and refreshing. This spot has tons of drinks to choose from, so it's hard not to find something you'll like. I grabbed the Crème Brûlée drink and a Vietnamese coffee. The Crème Brûlée was good smooth, sweet, and really hit the spot. The Vietnamese coffee was good too, but not as strong as I expected...tasted more like a powdered mix, kinda like Korean instant coffee. Still, overall this place is solid. Good vibes, good options, and perfect for a quick drink run

    Snowy peaches and pumpkin earl grey
    Austin K.

    Tried more things: - the snowy peaches: made with actual peaches and blended together. Not very sweet, and perhaps I should have gotten it during peach season. It has caffeine from the jasmine tea - pumpkin earl grey: a nice blend and you certainly get both flavors - earl grey salted egg cookie: I liked the egg better as part of the milky moon. You can't combine rewards cards, so don't forget to bring them. Also, the strawberry milk has jam, not fresh strawberries, just to know.

    Ask the Community - BLTea

    Is it dog friendly?

    They don't have outdoor seating

    Do they have outlets?

    No outlets available

    Is this a good place to do work for a couple hours, or is it not geared for that?

    Yes it's really nice. When I visited it was calm and they have some outdoor tables as well as indoor seating. I could totally see myself working there for a few hours.

    Do they have any caffeine free options other than just the straight berry tea? I love boba style drinks but am highly allergic to caffeine and I feel like I'm missing out per lots of boba and milk tea loving friends. Help?

    Thanks for asking. Our non caffeinated drinks are berry tea, black sugar boba milk, strawberry milk, ube, signature brush stroke, and kumquat koko. Hope this answering your question

The pistachio added more texture to it for sure. Same as any Levain cookies, best enjoyed warm and fresh out of oven.

I felt it tasted not much different to regular cream top latte with some cookie crumbles in it.
