    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Moldy Chocó crepe

    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.

    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. =)

    Tiger sugar black tea latte (already drank some sorry)

    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.

    Thai Tea and Peach Strawberry Fruit Tea
    Chris C.

    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.

    Tuesday afternoon, yo.

    The boba is good but the thai iced tea isn't nearly as delicious as tea spots. I'm definitely going to stay loyal to tea spots

The menu is split into three categories So Mindful, So Balanced, and So Don't GAF which makes it easy to choose based on your mood or goals. Reading through the ingredients actually made sense, and I went with something from the So Mindful section: the Santorini. My smoothie was fantastic quick, fresh, and really tasty. The service was great too Bonus: it's connected to a fish fry market, so if you're looking for something extra to munch on, that's an option as well!

Anyhoo walked in the woman working there was looking down on her phone. She wasn't friendly but she wasn't mean either. Maybe she was bored....Lol IDK. I asked for recommendations she told me some of the popular ones. I ended up going with a different one, forgot the name of the smoothie I chose. A bunch of berries were in it! Cute little space. Service was quick and the smoothie was FIRE!!! Omg it was one of the best smoothies I've ever had, my friend said it wasn't all that I was just thirsty.....but whatever I still stand by it was one of the best. If I'm in the area I'll definitely stop in again.

As I was walking in, I was greeted kindly by the nice lady behind the register. I turned my head to the left and I saw a few refrigerated cases full of juice bottles. It's a grab and go concept. Cool! There are no price tags to them. You will find out their prices at the register. Be ready! This juice shop is very quaint. There are inside seating plus very limited outside seating. They offer free samples of selected juices. They also have an avocado bar. I love avocados! There was a vast number of juice choices. I asked the lady what are her favorites. She mentioned Illumination (this one is my favorite so far... just so refreshing and you can't even taste the turmeric... it's that good!), Marjan's Favorite (be ready... very green!), 50 Shades of Green (this is a funny one and it's also very green), and Serenity (this one has a nice smooth kick to it due to the cayenne). I bought these 4 juices... 2 of them on 2 separate occasions. What I found interesting is that they recycle the juice bottles. They collect $1 per bottle. If you return the bottles, they will give you back $1 per bottle. FYI You may only get reimbursed for 10 bottles per visit. In other words, you'll have to come back to get reimbursed for your remaining bottles. Illumination = orange, apple, pineapple, carrot, lemon, turmeric, cinnamon Marjan's Favorite = chlorophyll, pineapple, aloe vera, cucumber, romaine, persley, spinach, turmeric, chia seeds. Senerity = turmeric, lemon, agave, ginger, cayenne 50 Shades of Green = kale, cucumber, celery, parsley, lettuce, basil, cilantro, mint, spinach, dill, fennel, green pepper, wheatgrass, jalapeño, dandelion, mixed greens, spirulina, chlorophyll I love the natural juices! However, I do find them a bit pricey. It's almost $14 per bottle plus the CRV cost $1. Oh, I also bought Beach Bum (avocado toast) which wasn't too bad, but also on the pricier side for a toast. Hence, 4 stars! Does this deter me from coming back? No, it does not. I may not come here every day, but I will definitely return from time to time. Thank you Kreation J & AB Pasadena!
