We're from out of town and have visited this spot four times now because it's one of the few…read moredessert places open late, but this will be our last visit. The biggest issue is expectations. The menu shows a wide variety of items, but many either aren't sold anymore or aren't available later in the evening. More than once we've come specifically for something, waited in line, and only found out at the register that it's not being served, sometimes an hour or two before closing. There's no clear notice about a limited late‑night menu or which items are actually available, so customers end up wasting time and leaving frustrated. On top of that, the teens working the counter often come across as condescending when they deliver that news. It doesn't feel like they've been trained on basic customer communication, and there's rarely an apology or effort to offer alternatives, which makes the whole experience feel dismissive rather than welcoming. Even the small extras feel neglected, all the games in the seating area look crispy and worn, and some of the card games even appear moldy, which doesn't give a good impression about cleanliness or upkeep. This could be an easy fix, update the menus to remove items you no longer sell, clearly mark a late‑night menu with specific hours, refresh or clean the games, and train the front‑of‑house staff on how to communicate those limits respectfully. The concept and late hours are great, but after four tries, the lack of clear communication, poor upkeep, and the attitude at the counter mean we won't be back. It feels like the Am/Pm of Boba.

It was everything I needed, perfect and refreshing for the hot day! This place also offered some grab and go items and had a large list of other drinks. I would definitely come back here! I'd also say it's one of the better boba places on the west side of the valley.

It tasted like weak, low-quality tea, to the point where I didn't even want to drink it. The service at the register was also lacking--the young man taking orders was quite rude and made us feel rushed while we were trying to decide. It seems like a Vietnamese restaurant that offers boba drinks as an afterthought, and it shows in both the drink quality and service. I definitely won't be coming back for their drinks.

We came…read morein for a classic Thai tea boba, and the tea itself was incredibly flavorful, even better paired with their honey boba, which added the perfect subtle sweetness. We loved it so much that we order extra boba as the consistency stands out every time. The size, texture, and chewiness of the boba are perfect, which is something a lot of boba spots struggle to achieve. They have an immense menu allowing you to treat your cravings. Despite being busy on a Friday night, service was accurate and timely. The ambiance also makes this place feel extra welcoming. There are several seating options including regular tables, high-top tables, even a couch area for lounging, and seating outside. I also really like how close this cafe is to Glendale Community College. Inside, they also have board games available and a claw machine, which gives the cafe a fun and cozy atmosphere whether you're studying, hanging out with friends, or just stopping by for a drink. Another huge plus was their macaron ice cream sandwiches, which I haven't been able to find at other competitors. They're located in the back and come pre-packaged in a cooler, but the texture is amazing! It is soft, chewy, and structured all at once. Our favorite flavors were vanilla, coffee, and strawberry. Due to limited boba locations in the Glendale area - this is our one stop shop. Definitely a spot worth coming back to! Two large iced Thai teas with extra boba ~ $17.55.

I was greeted right away and waited in line one person ahead of me. I ordered four items, a peach blended drink with boba (recommended by the lovely woman working), two Thai teas with boba (one iced one blended) and a lychee with boba. Since she was the only one working at that time, it did take a moment to get our drinks but was in no rush so wasn't worried about it. Sat down to enjoy the K-pop playing on the tv and watch the fish bowl in the center of the location. They have a cozy couch and a few tables and chairs, it's cute in there and I have enjoyed having a few boba dates with my daughter. There always seems to be enough space to enjoy with one or a small group. The drinks when finished were provided in a recyclable container / holder which was convenient since I was driving them back. The straws are big and ready for your boba and the flavors of all our drinks were so good. Especially the boba, so so good!

The inside of the shop is relatively spacious, but also with limited seating, only two tables out front and then stools lining the wall towards the back. The interior is overall newer and cleaner than the Tempe location. I ordered my usual drink -- the Ceylon milk tea with Boba, less ice, 100% sugar -- using the kiosk. I didn't see any sweet or cheese foam options on the menu or as an option on the kiosk, which was disappointing, as I love paying extra for this topping to complement my drink. This option was available at the Tempe location, so I was looking forward to it. Overall, I enjoyed my drink, though! It was a little bit less sweet than I wanted it to be, but that's OK! I sipped off of my friend's wintermelon milk tea with Boba at 70% sugar, which was sweeter than my drink. Next time I'll order that, as it was sweet and refreshing and light!

I've bookmarked the Tempe location, and saw that this one opened up recently (three months ago). I'm not around here often so I was excited to try it out. I visited early afternoon and found a parking spot easily, as it's located in a shopping center. I was greeted warmly by the bobaista and given a menu. They let me know I could sample any drinks too - very cool. I decided to get my go-to: house blend pearl milk tea, which already comes with boba (hooray!). They asked if I wanted brown sugar or honey, and my gut said honey but I asked about the difference. Obviously it's in the name but they told me brown sugar is more popular. They offered me a sample of each which was so nice and I went with the honey since the brown sugar was a bit too sweet, though nice flavor. I got a large drink with 50% sweetness and 30% ice level, and it came out to $6.25 pre tax. My drink was prepared quickly and I snapped a photo and was on my way. It tasted lovely, with a strong tea flavor which I prefer. The sweetness level was on the sweeter side but not too much, I can always go down to 30% next time. The boba pearls were chewy and the honey flavor was perfect. I'm so glad I was able to stop by and hope to be back whenever I'm in the area again! Good vibes here.

Parking wasn't too bad. Place was empty when I walked in witha good amount of tables and seating. Lots of Bible verses on the wall. I wondered if this was a newer boba shop. Lady at the counter was on the phone and didn't answer my question. I asked which of the milk teas she recommended and she said the golden milk tea aka classic. I ordered a large with easy ice, 50% sugar, and honey boba. Menu price is $7 and $1 for boba, but total came out to $9 for some reason. It even says tax is included in their prices, so not sure what the extra $1 was for. Drink was ready in a few minutes and I was on my way. First thing I noticed was the color: very light and white. Strange, as I expected it to be darker. Flavor wise: sweet and no tea flavor, disappointing. Tasted like a powder too. Boba balls were good; chewy and cooked nicely. That was a small redeeming factor. Overall not impressed with this spot and probably won't be back. Expensive and quality is not up to par.
