I love the strawberry and coconut with boba! Great price, great service, & great boba! There is seating but it's pretty busy

I absolutely love Boba Time and have gone multiple times at a different location. However, I've visited this location three times now and every single time they make my drink with no flavor. I've brought this up to the employees before ordering before, but they just say that they'll add more sweetness. Despite this, every single time I get the drink, it still tased like water. I usually get the strawberry yogurt smoothie and normally absolutely love this drink. For some reason this place will not make this specific drink well. I can't speak to other orders. Just wanted to let you know that this specific drink I have been constantly having issues with. read more

One of my favorite locations, the drinks are always well-made and they have delicious food options

I usually do not like chains when it comes to my boba teas, but Boba time has remained consistent with the quality and taste enough that I will compromise. Great Thai tea, firm but chewy bobas and great with the sweetness selection. Service is solid and consistently polite. Cutest little pop ambiance, with seating and tables spread throughout. Good store to default to if I'm close to the area. read more

Showed up at 12pm only to turn away because it shows up as OPEN ONLINE but when you show up on a normal Wednesday it's closed .. don't waste your time coming to this ridiculous place!! It should be closed down if it can't be open in broad daylight read more

It's Boba Time is located on a busy and popular corner in East Pasadena at Colorado and Allen. This is a chain. They offer lots of menu options. It is designed mostly for take out orders, and includes a kiosk for ordering. There is limited seating. Lots of PCC students and employees from nearby businesses frequent this location. I prefer their smoothies, especially with boba added. Slushies are available as well. I recently had the taro smoothie and it was very good. It's very efficient and clean but not particularly personal, as to be expected with a chain establishment. read more

There's nothing better than something cold on a hot day--and boba is the ultimate treat! I clearly wasn't the only one with that idea, because when we stepped into It's Boba Time, the place was buzzing with happy customers sipping on their cold drinks. This was my first visit, and it was such a treat! I ordered the matcha and red bean drink--a winning flavor combo that was both refreshing and satisfying. I've tried quite a few boba spots in the area, and this one really hit the spot. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

We are season passholders and always enjoy stopping here for a drink when we visit the grounds

Love this place! I'm here weekly, they make amazing açaí bowl. They really fill them up with a massive amount of fruit and decorate them beautifully. All of the workers are kind and friendly and are sure to make your order correctly. They do offer dairy substitutes and can customize most drinks. I have enjoyed all that I've tried. They keep the tables clean, you can order from the app or a kiosk inside or at the front desk! Make sure to sign up to get points off your next order! read more

I wanted to share my experience from today. My Apple Pay wasn't working at the self-checkout, and I was clearly struggling with the machine. Several employees were standing nearby, but none of them offered to help. It was another customer--a fellow mom--who stepped in and helped me. The lack of assistance from the staff was really disappointing, and it honestly made me want to walk out. I hope this can be addressed so other customers don't have the same experience. read more

I was walking towards Odyssey Games and happened to look to my right. I saw It's Boba Time. I said cool... I'll have to check them out later. I came back in late evening. My first time here at this location in Pasadena. It's a corner shop. It has a very bright and inviting atmosphere. They have one kiosk for self-ordering and a couple registers at the counter. I chose to use the kiosk and it was easy to order. I got the Avocado Smoothie with 100% boba... they have an option for 50% boba as well. There weren't very many customers when I was in here. It was near closing time actually. Luckily, the wait for my drink wasn't too long. I didn't have much interaction with the staff as they just called my number, placed my drink on the counter, and walked away. I walked up to the counter, grabbed my drink, and was on my way. Avocado Smoothie had a very smooth consistency. I could taste the yummy avocado, but wished there were more of it. Boba was moist and chewy. Next time I might just omit the boba so I can have more avocado smoothie LOL. Good to know they are here so the next time I visit Odyssey Games, I will be back for more avocado smoothie. =) read more

For a milk tea place, It's Boba time is best described as pretty consistent everywhere. You know you're getting when you walk in, prices are generally reasonable, and it drinks are... are generally solid if not particular memorable. Service at this location is pretty quick as well, and that alone sometimes means the convenience is worth it. read more

Had some time during lunch to get my car serviced nearby and didn't want to just wait around so I walked around the area and saw this boba place. I've been to other It's Boba Time, this one is not as small and very spacious with table seating. They have a tablet kiosk to order and it was very easy. I ordered a regular tiger sugar black tea latte to wake up my day. Half sugar, easy ice with boba (comes with drink and isn't extra). The ordering on the tablet is very easy and helps you through the many options! Their AC was blasted because it was very cold inside! They have one unisex restroom that is coded, just ask a staff for the code. read more

I was super excited to try their choco crepe after I got off work. I bought, didn't think to check it when I was in the store because i expected them to be aware of the quality of their food. Got home & went to open my choco crepe to eat. And it's moldy. I'm highly disappointed especially because I paid $7 for it almost. I definitely will not be returning even though I like drinks. read more

My favorite boba place was closed so I stopped by Boba Time. I am familiar with the chain, but I had not visited this location. The location is on the has a number of tables and it was busy. The employees do not address you so I ordered via the kiosk. I waited at a table and the place e was dirty. The floor was sticky and overall the place was unkept. The order took about the minutes. The boba was a bit stale and the drink just tastes like syrup. read more

The drinks are made well, even really good every so often, as well as the açaí bowl, I'm not entirely sure for the rest of the food items. If they make a mistake they are happy to fix it. As for the ambiance, it is a little lonely of course depending what time you go. Overall, the drinks are made pretty good. read more

My drink (not including toppings) was prepared well but lacked flavor. I don't know if the person that took my order was supposed to ask how sweet I'd like my drink or not but I felt like the sweetner level had been significantly reduced. I asked for the star boba and the lychee jelly but I only received one. I'm not sure what happened. My other half ordered a Thai tea without boba. Oh dear. He got boba in his drink and the Thai tea wasn't steeped well. It tasted burnt almost. Hmm, I'm not sure what happened or what was going on but everything about that visit was off. read more

Pretty quick service, hasn't gotten my drinks wrong so that's a super plus. So far my favorite location

It was my first time trying this location and they have food, a variety of desserts, and a huge selection of drinks. They offer coffee, fresh juice, açaí bowls, tea, and boba drinks. The pistachio frappe is one of my favorites. My friend tried the pistachio milk tea and loved it. They have a huge selection so next time I'd try the taro coconut drink. As for the food they do have a lot of options but I'm not sure about the taste/quality. The waffle fries were a bit burnt. Maybe they were there all day. Not too sure. Might be more fresh in the morning. I believe they had fries, popcorn chicken and a few other food items. The dessert options are crepe cakes, cheesecakes, and macarons. The interior is pretty clean and spacious for people to come in groups or dates. There's a large parking lot behind the store. As for service I felt like the workers were nice enough. Some seemed a little annoyed when asking for certain things but most were friendly and helped out. read more

The customers know more than the employees and therefore can't be helped. It's shocking to me that such a low skill is so hard for some people. For 5 minutes she was unable to help a customer so she directed them to the self checkout. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

This is my favorite boba spot. It's very good, quick and nice service. The ambience is relaxed and best for to-go orders as they don't have a lot of seating. read more

Great Drinks just HORRIBLE LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE... sad face and moving real slow. At least hire more employees to satisfy customers.

I have been craving this Avocado Boba since I saw the advertisement. Today, I finally stopped by since I was in the area at the "99 Cent" store. I was apprehensive at first. However, after taking my first sip, I was very impressed. It was delicious. They service was just ok. The workers don't have much "ump" they have no energy. The place is cute inside with modern decor. Parking could be difficult due to them sharing a parking lot with other business. They have very reasonable prices. :) read more

The butterfly pea lemonade is so yummy! It's my go to on a hot day. If I'm just craving a boba drink, I'll go for a Thai tea or milk tea. Don't skip the food because the chicken strips and fries are actually so good! I want to come back and try the açaí bowl too read more

I've been to other locations before, but this one has been the best out of the many I've been to. Their popcorn chicken and fries are good and so are their slushies. It's only a 10-15 min walk from pcc, so it's very convenient for grabbing a drink and some food. Service has been good the 3 times I've gone in the past 2 weeks and they were helpful whenever I needed anything. The place has limited seating, but I haven't had trouble finding a seat with my friends if you go close to opening time. Only gets loud if there's a ton of people and there's music playing(has never been an issue, I enjoy the type of music they play). read more

Very solid first impression at the new It's boba time. The staff is friendly. The vibe and store looks great and everything is brand new. Got the classic milk tea and Thai tea. Was not disappointed. Overall: Will return for boba and Thai tea read more

Love having the convenience of a boba time near east pasadena now! We typically get the chamango (mango slush with chunks of mango plus boba) and a house milk tea with boba. Service is usually quick and there is usually a seat empty if you wanna stay for a bit. Staff are usually kind and helpful. read more

Unbelievably careless employees/ establishments! I placed an order through their website for delivery. When we received our delivery, 1 item was missing. I called them, but they refused to send the missing order. I let it go. This time, we walked in to place an order, and I explained the situation to the server (Jesse m). All I got from them was, " Huh, they should have refunded." read more

When a mid afternoon pick-me-up is needed stat, the Dirty Matcha is always a good choice. The servers here are always nice and attentive. The shop is near Pasadena Community College so there are often students here, hitting the books. The music in the shop is upbeat without being too loud. They have a free parking lot in the back read more

It's...fine, I guess. The balance of the drinks we ordered was off. If I'm paying $7 for a drink, I'd think they could get it right. Staff on a Sunday afternoon was surly to boot. Make an effort, folks; the lack thereof really shows. Won't be back. read more

This is probably the worst boba spot I've ever been to. Boba was so hard and has zero flavor. The cashier didn't even know anything about the drinks when I asked. Will not be going back to this location. read more

Solidly good classic milk tea where you can actually taste the black tea. Egg pudding is so yum ! Get half sweet!!! This Pasadena "It's Boba Time" is much sweeter than some of the other chain locations. read more

Wow what kind of place has a sign that says they close at 10:00pm and it's 9:40 and says we are open but we only have 5 mins and only have a few drinks. Like c'mon are you guys trying to make money or loose money. Ya have to take orders if it's not 10pm yet. read more

I've been to It's Boba Time before in other locations, but this is my first time at the Pasadena location and my first time trying the Watermelon Slush. It was really hot and I was craving something refreshing to cool me down, and this was perfect! It tasted exactly like blended watermelon. I also tried their black and jasmine milk teas, and they were pretty good, nothing special but got the job done. They have a LOT of options on their menu, even acai bowls, so I'd recommend coming here if you want a variety of choices. I would come back and try their other slushes. read more

$10 for a small container of popcorn chicken... oof. I was able to get double the portion at Quickly for $8

Boba time has been around for a very long time and I believe they recently have done some rebranding. Decided to try out this new location because they are open a little later than other local spots. Boba Time is a decent place for beginners. For me, the drinks are too artificial looking and tasting. I ordered a winter melon milk tea and it was neon green, which I have never seen. It also tasted like cantaloupe, which was very odd. I also ordered a peach slushee, which was overly sweet, but I did prefer it over the winter melon milk tea. read more

Classic Gen Z experience: walk in with no greeting from the 8 workers in the back staring blankly into their phones, order on the stupid screen, then get drinks pushed on the counter with no announcement.
