    Strawberry yogurt with boba
    Annie T.

    Finally gave this drive thru boba a try and my impression so far is meh. The first time I got the strawberry yogurt with boba and it was so good that I went back the next day and it was a complete 180. Seeing that it's the same drink I ordered within 48 hours, I found a big discrepancy in the quality of the drink. The 2nd visit did not have the same texture or temperature as the first time and the boba was also much tougher. Unfortunately I'll give this place a break until there's a desire to come back.

    Unevenly spiced -- here is one of many pieces of chicken -- half extra, EXTRA, extra spicy, half mild -- we ordered mild A lot of these pieces were way overly spiced & caked with powder to the point of 70% being inedible for either my partner (usually able to handle any spicy stuff) or I to finish. My partner tried to finish but had to throw out majority unfortunately :( -- was not even enjoyable at all, just pain -- helped me get my water intake in early for the day though :,) We love the sizes of the pieces & flavor here, been coming here for 2-3 years. But for some reason, the spices have been so patchy & inconsistent -- last month they added more pepper which threw the flavor off, this month it seems the spices are applied lazily and uneven -- asking for mild gets you extra, extra spicy. Sad we havent been able to enjoy this weekend's or last weekend's batch but we'll be taking a break for now.

    Came in around 11 nice and easy drive through window only one person, ahead of me, ordered lard brown sugar boba and a haikkaido milk tea. Both tasted good and we enjoyed them and their large cup for the price is a good deal.

    Cheese grape and peach & passion fruit green tea
    Eric W.

    We tried the cheese grape drink and the peach & passion fruit green tea at Boba Ave. Both drinks were refreshing and tasted pretty good, especially the peach & passion fruit green tea. The downside is they don't have a huge variety of drinks to choose. The drive-thru line was also very long, so be prepared to wait during busy hours. Overall still a solid spot if you're craving a quick boba run.

    Great staff however they don't have a nondairy milk tea option. I hope they will in the future! Also they only have fresh milk boba which is basically milk sweetened with boba which is their caffeine free option. Again, limited but still I think their customer service and crunchy popcorn chicken makes up for it. Also love hat their a drive thru that's open late!

    They finally have little covers for lid so you can shake drink without anything spilling over.

    I still visit Boba Ave when I need a drive thru. My dog appreciates the rides and we don't have to get out of car. But I'm sure it's getting harder to compete with all the drink places opening up down the street. Thank you boba Ave for being consistent with your drink quality and offering food snacks as well. They also updated their drinks to have a little cover so you can shake it and not fear anything leaking through the plastic lids. Thanks for wonderful service as well.

    Very fun experience for my first drive through boba! Mediocre drinks so probably won't be going back.

    Limited summer menu

    The convenience of a drive thru is the reason why I always come back. They don't have non dairy options so I tend to stick with the fruit teas. I recommend ordering 75% or 50% sugar as they do get pretty sweet. They use to have two windows in their tunnel but now it's one ordering window and a pick up window on the other side. I feel this does make the line go by faster!

    Great service and delicious drinks! Especially their yogurt blends And the convenience of a drive thru makes Boba Ave a must try in the SGV.

    Pros: extremely veteran boba experts Cons: I don't want…read morepeople to know about this place or it'll get busy. Our go-to are the mango mango slush or strawberry slush half sweet no chamoy, royal milk tea with boba, and Peach green tea half sweet. Drinks are ALWAYS consistant and yummy. Even more, the boba is consistantly divine-- fresh, chewy, and sweet. Drinks come out quick even when it's busy. I'm always amazed how many drinks they can pump out quickly. The staff here are boba masters. Prices here are competitive/standard. Expect about $5/drink. They also have a stampcard program! Buy 8 and get 1 free. We frequent Hello Boba because it's nearby and good. Even if there's more unique places like half and half, 3 cats, and twinkle brown sugar. I prefer Hello Boba. They're just really good, consistant, and quick. Always hits the spot. Staff are generally friendly and greet you with a smile. There's this one swole asian dude who's that has a rbf. I don't think it's personal though, he's probably always sore from hitting the gym. I almost never get a smile from him-- it's just business. He shows his love in a through his consistant drinks. Which I can appreciate. I usually take my drinks to go. But there was one time me and my son hung out and played board games. They have a nice variety. But just like all other boba places, the games are usually really beat up from all the useage from previous customers. Very casual. The only downside is that this place is dangerous to my waistline. Overall good for everyone of all ages and different ethnic backgrounds. Special Shoutout to Tuan. When my wife or son wants boba, sometimes I forget what our go-to order is. Tuan knows our order. It's people like Tuan that make places like Hello Boba special.

    They have Happy Hour on Monday - Friday from 4pm to 7pm for select drinks…read more Nice boba shop with some unique drinks. Their original mojito is good if you're looking for an alcohol free version with boba. Other than that, normal boba menu. Quick service from time you order till pick up. No table sittings but they do have a bunch for you to wait.
