Ok. Hands down my favorite boba spot in the valley. The owner of this location, Margi (pronounced…read moreMAR-ghee), is absolutely darling and loves what she does. The tea is delicious. The add-ons are great. My favorite add-ons are the honey bobas. They are never over cooked and mushy. Eew. Nope, these are perfectly cooked with a yummy chew to them! I have yet to taste a drink I don't like but I love the jasmine green tea, Vietnamese coffee, the grasshopper and anything with the mango. So good. The also creates her own foam top recipes. The lavender and rose foam (my faves) were her creations and the entire franchise started using them! Amazing. (Yes, I gushed about my love of the fancy foam tops and she told me this great story.) If you go often, you'll even be called "a regular" which is always fun! Atmosphere is chill and easy because it's in the mall on the top floor. Go get yourself some tea.

I tried the thai tea last time and it wasn't a fav for me because it was incrediblely sweet. I could not get past 1/4 of the drink :( . I learned that next time I could ask to reduce to sweetness so I looked over it. I came back and decided to try the Vietnamese Coffee and I unfortunately could not finish it. I kept getting honey flavor for some reason and it's still wayyy to sweet. I am a sweet tooth but this was just so incredibly sweet. I sadly won't likely return for their iced drinks. I'll go back to try the chai sometime.

The staff are nice, and I enjoy the vibe of the place. There is one table inside and two outside. My order total was $14 for two drinks with toppings. Strawberry Yogurt Slushy w/ Crystal Boba: I love the yogurt flavor, and it pairs so well with the strawberry. The balance is perfect. There are real strawberry chunks included in the drink, and it comes with crystal boba. It's my favorite drink from this place. I find that 70% sweetness is perfect. Peach Lychee Slushy w/ Lychee Jelly: Refreshing drink! The flavor doesn't taste artificial, and the salted foam adds to it (you can remove it if you want). 30% sweetness is still sweet, and I have a mega sweet tooth.

I ordered the oolong milk tea with brown sugar boba and mochi. The tea was fragrant and their boba and mochi were perfect texture. My friend ordered their sticky rice topping and it was also delicious! It was interesting but worked well with their drinks. Service was excellent! We received our orders super quickly considering that our group was 15+ people. The shop is small and only has one table with a few chairs. More like a grab and go spot rather than a hang out spot. Would highly recommend!

Dessert-like without being too sweet at all. Good stuff. I would order this again. Roasted Brown Sugar Coffee, boba, regular sweetness - nice strong Vietnamese coffee flavor, lightly sweetened and creamy, even at full sweet. I would totally drink this even tho I normally order 0-25% sweet everywhere. The boba in both drinks was nicely flavored and cooked well. The music is a little loud for chatting for us old deaf ppl but they play good stuff and it's a fun environment. They have a foosball table and some board games along with a claw game with adorable little stuffies in it. Service was really friendly and helpful. They encouraged us to try our drinks and make sure we liked the sweetness level. They were very quick to fix a mixup with missing boba in one drink. There is a parking lot in the back that had plenty of space when we stopped by at 4:30pm on a Monday, as well as easy street parking all around.

A great, safe place to chill, do work, doodle (as you can see by the hundreds of drawings on the wall made by customers! Lots by professional animators and artists who work in the industry nearby.) However, I haven't told you the best part by far yet. Truly, the best part of Boba Loca is Miguel. You'll know him by his smile, his friendly "hello!", and his warmth. Miguel is everyone's favorite and I am no exception. Find caricatures of him on the wall labeled "Boba King!" because he is! He can make any drink you want - he is so gracious to customize any item to fit your needs and he has been there for over 20 years I believe!!! He is truly a gem and I could give all 5 stars just for him. However, the milk tea and boba are also the best I've had - perfectly cooked pearls, delicious milk tea that is not watered down. 100/10. I've been frequenting this place for years now and even got my husband hooked! This is the ONLY boba place to go to in downtown Burbank. ;)

On top of that, the boba and drinks are consistently really good. Everything I've tried has been flavorful and well made. Highly recommend stopping by, this place is a gem!

The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the wonderful aroma of freshly brewed teas. :) The shop itself is minimalist, although seating is limited since it's located inside the mall. It's conveniently situated near Target, making it an easy stop while shopping. Glendale Galleria also offers plenty of parking, which is always a plus. The staff were friendly and efficient, and our drinks came out surprisingly fast. If you're looking to switch things up from your usual boba spot, HEYTEA is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back to explore more of the menu.

How about just a phone number to look up your account?!?! The coconut mango boom slushie with less sugar was very yummy. I like it when you can control how much sugar you want in your drink.

The texture and taste isn't something I am able to find in other places near my area (I have tried looking). I have done both in store ordering using the tablet and via online. Both options were easy to navigate. If visiting in store, there might a wait since it seems this place is popular. There is available seating inside. There are little tables, benches and stools if you decide to stay for a little bit. Parking situation varies. Both times I went, on Sundays, there were ample parking and no issues. Wish they would come to the SFV.
