    After a family dinner I asked my nieces if they wanted to check out a milk tea shop that we've never been. Nieces are always down for a new experience so off to the milk tea shop! I've seen the Boba Loca chain around for a long while now but never been. Walking into this shop I noticed a lot of old photos hung up on the wall. Other things such as food items that are no longer available and some drinks that are no longer availably. I feel that this location has seen better days. During my visit there wasn't even a place to sit down if you wanted to hang out. I made my order and was ready to leave as soon as I got the drinks. Didn't see anything that popped out as their specialty drink so I went with my go to which is Taro milk tea. I ordered 4 drinks and waited til we got home to drink them so we can drink them all together. (bought my sis one also) My taro was good. Was mild on the sweetness. But my sis and nieces' drinks were really sweet. I tried theirs and it made my drink taste like water. Overall it wasn't the best experience. Parking: small private lot VERDICT: One and done

    If you're looking for great boba drinks, definitely come check this place out. The drinks are really good and the boba is great. Don't let really old reviews stop you from coming, the place is under new management and it has become a spot to check out. Service was great. Ambiance is nice with cute decorations. Nice place to grab a drink and chill with friends.

    Forget to take a before picture but I gulfed mine down.

    Honestly I found this spot by total accident we were on our way to the movies and since it was hot we got some boba since it wasnt to busy which I very much enjoyed. The over atmosphere was family friendly and had a cute set up. The guy servers was very helpful and quick to give me and my friends our drinks rather quickly. The drink I got was so good I got another 1 to go. It honestly hits the spot on hot days like these.

    I ordered a green tea and my bf ordered a jasmine milk tea. Green tea was so BITTER and and SPICY somehow, jasmike milk tea had no sugar so we asked for extra sugar and they added an absurd amount of artificial sweeteners. Neither of them were tolerable and went straight to the trash.

    I stopped at pet supreme in Sylmar to pick up taro boba cookie for my pup.

    I've been here several times over many years and they make the best taro slush near me. I live in San Fernando and the boba places there suck so bad that I have to go out of my way to come here.

    When I got to the place, I wasn't sure if I want to order cause it looked a bit messy. But I gave it a try, and honestly it wasn't my best boba tea. It wasn't bad either, but I definitely had better ones. Also, I got pizza pretzel and it tasted like old dough. Although, service was great, I just didn't like their food.

Hopped on Yelp to find a coffee spot and Steeple House came up. Interestingly enough, the coffee shop is located within a church campus so it's a bit harder to find. We did get to find it thanks to a kind young man who directed us. Now, don't be afraid to stop in because it's located within a church campus. The coffee they serve are great. From Onyx to Black and White Coffee Roasters. The litmus test for how well a barista can do is ordering an espresso straight. My brother's shot was under extracted and he gave it a 2.5, mine was better and was a 3.5/4 Majority of shops will definitely pull shots and use roasts that are more in the classic profile which we don't really like, but it hits with 95 percent of "coffee snobs" we however, prefer true medium roasts that aren't "burnt" or "strong", but when most people are ordering iced lattes, we understand that you need that burnt taste in order to cut through all that milk.

It was 7:58 a.m., and I stopped in to grab my usual coffee before my appointment next door. I accidentally left my wallet at home, my Apple Pay wasn't working, and the only cash I had was a $100 bill. My total was only $8.50. I even offered a simple solution--I asked if another employee could pay for my coffee and I would immediately Zelle them the money. All three employees told me that was "beyond their job duties" and refused to help. Instead, they pointed to the sign stating they don't accept $100 bills and had me leave without making any effort to accommodate a regular customer. The disappointing part isn't that they couldn't break a $100 bill--it's that no one showed even the slightest willingness to help find a solution. I come here almost every Friday because I have appointments at the salon next door, and after this experience, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. A little kindness and customer service go a long way. Unfortunately, I found neither here.

I came when it was not busy and got my drink in under two minutes. However, the person sitting next to me (with the cutest doggie! They're dog friendly, I think ) waited longer than 10 minutes for her drink. However, this was during a rush and when it was probably the busiest in the morning (?) AMBIANCE AND ENVIRONMENT: The music volume was pretty good. It was low level when the place got busy due to people chatting, machines, ice scooping etc., but when it wasn't so busy, the level was about medium due to the atmosphere being more quiet. The vibes were Mumford and sons, Oasis, Of Monsters and Men, the Head and the Heart, and some classical sprinkled here and there. It is smaller than a chain, but cozy with quite a few seats and table options. I think they did a great job at making the best of the space. The space also encourages community as half of the seating options are shared/shareable. All within an arms reach, which in my personal opinion, is plenty of space. Because of this, it encourages you to acknowledge your fellow human being sitting across, or beside you. The environment was clean, bright, and comfortable. The environment feedback I woukd give is perhaps a stronger sun shade in the windows that the bar and stools face. I first sat here but within minutes decide to move because the heat was a bit too much for me. Again! A personal preference. Coffee shops can also naturally get warm due to the energy being used for the machines and refrigerators, so something to consider. The air-conditioning kicked in a little later which helped make it more comfortable. Another thing I noticed is the outlet near the corner table and lounge chairs has a an outlet extender plugged into the wall outlet, but the wall outlet is extremely loose with no faceplate. This can cause electric shock, wiring damage and possible fires. I know from personal experience. It's a real easy and cheap fix that I highlyyy recommend they do ASAP. Just trying to be helpful because I really, really like this spot. FOOD AND DRINKS: I ordered a Hibiscus Berry Blend, as is, iced. It was $5.00 even. It is served in a14 Oz. cup. With ice, it's probably about 12-13 Oz. of drink you're getting. I think it was worth it. The flavor was equal and very nice. Not too fruity, not too watery. It wasn't sweet, due to me not asking for any additional sweetener. As I sat and worked, I heard a lot of other orders and some were very creative. So they do have all those fun drinks people love to indulge in occasionally. They also have classic drip coffee and loose leaf tea. THE REASON WHY I TRIED INICIO: The biggest thing I noticed, being an activist myself involved in many efforts for social justice through my work and personal life, was their mission to erase modern day slavery. Human trafficking is a horrible thing that unfortunately is haooening right before out very eyes. They donate a portion of all food, drink, and catering sales to Justice 180. That is honestly, the reason why I came. I would love to partner with them and invite them to come cater at my center. I plan to spread the word about this place and continue to support them.
