    Original Acai Bowl
    Fluffeh L.

    Phenomenal costumer service. I asked if they were hiring and the staff were very open to the question! The boba tasted great. I liked the ombré look it had (before I mixed it lol). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is clean and well lit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute LED decoration on the wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you don't want a sugary drink I recommend the Sunset iced tea with 25% sweetness. It has jasmine and is caffeine free!

    So many flavor options
    Marwa A.

    I was eager about visiting this place because their menu looks fun (and it is). [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small & lowkey place but very clean and the service is quick.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can either use the kiosk to order or go to the counter and tell one of the workers what you want. I would rate it as 3.5 but there's no option for half a star so gave it 4 instead of dragging it down to 3 stars. The reason why I think this place isn't exactly a 5-star boba place is the flavor richness. The matcha milk tea boba was so diluted that you can barely taste the matcha. I felt like I was drinking matcha flavored water with boba. I'm not sure if I would ever come back to give it a second shot, but I was underwhelmed by the washed out flavor so I'm not too eager to go back. I hope that the owners see this review and maybe just work on their recipes a bit to make the flavors richer. If they can fix that issue I think this boba shop can actually be one of the best ones in town since they offer so many flavor and boba varieties so it's a fun place to be for boba.

    First time here and staff is very friendly. It's pretty close to work since I work at the Kaiser Hospital down the street. Location in in the same lot as Chik Fil A. I bought the Peach Lychee Fruit Tea and it's very refreshing. They didn't add too much Ice which is Perfect! I will most likely come back to try the other items on the menu. Curios about the Grapefruit Iced Tea.

    Highly recommend this delicious boba place! Many different drinks are offered and the staff is SO friendly and care about their customers/drink quality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you so much for creating a welcoming and chill environment![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be added to my go-to list!

    Clean area

    First time here, and I loved it! I ordered the milk tea Boba and the red velvet macaroon. The Boba was amazing, I loved the brown sugar boba pearls and the milk tea. The macaroon was ok, it didn't taste fresh and it was a little bit chewy but next time I'll get a different flavor hopefully it's better. The place was very clean, the staff were very nice, fast service.I will definitely come back.

    This boba place is impeccable I enjoy going every single day and talking to all the staff members. Marcus and Mike are quite honestly the best workers you'll ever meet. they are super sweet and kind to all the customers. he is fun to talk to and whips up some 10/10 boba. Every time I go there is never a disappointment they all treat me and my friend with care there is never a day that has gone where we didn't get amazing service. He has given me some new drink recommendations and each is better than the last. Make sure to come and check out this boba place and meet these beautiful and kind people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This Boba time spot also has a beautiful interior and exterior SO MAKE SURE TO CHECK THIS BOBA PLACE OUT!!!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Been to quite a few Boba Spots around Los Angeles and I was beyond excited for the Downey location to open for quite some time. From the time I arrived to my departure, I was greeted with an amazing service from all the staff members during my visit. Everyone was professional, kind and efficient in the efforts as a team and I think this location has the potential to strive in this community. Overall, the ambiance and vibe of the store was upbeat, yet chill. Most importantly, the staff made me and my friends feel welcomed into the store. Something I hope for the team to continue to carry on as they begin their new journey at this location. Excited to return here and wish the team the best of luck and thank you the It's Boba Time Downey team!! Service - 5* (Great staff, friendly vibes, amazing energy!) Interior - 5* (Yes, it's brand new, but I always have to admire and appreciate a clean store!!!) Location - 5* (Located in a spot where there's a lot of things to enjoy but you should pass by Boba Time Downey for your Boba Fix!)

There was no description on the kiosk as to what was in the drink, so I asked the gentleman inside what was in the drink. He seemed a little flustered and too busy, answering my question as he was doing something. As I continued to order, I saw him leave. It looked like he went out to grab some supplies. I completed my order and continued to wait. Five, 10 minutes passed by and I went to go check on my drink. Still there was no one inside. My husband had to go there and wait for someone to come back and was asking where my order was. When the gentleman came back, he seemed rude and gave my husband an attitude saying, "I know, I know." I think it is a little unprofessional to not be fully stocked, when you open at 11:30 AM and it's already been a few hours past and still you don't have any supplies. I enjoyed the drink, but my husband and I didn't really like the texture of the boba. We felt like it could have been a little softer in texture. It seemed a little chewy to. This place is located inside the Steelcraft in Bellflower. It's a great place to sit and watch games and enjoy the other foods they have here. Plenty of seats and benches.

    It's good for my A1C that I don't live close. (But my family and I have been making the drive daily…read moresince we discovered this place! ) Mango sticky rice 50% sweet is PERFECT! This place proves you don't need a huge storefront to serve huge flavor. The crew is so friendly that I almost forgot I was there for boba and not a family reunion. Drinks were delicious, service was fast, and everyone had great energy. My only complaint? The lid seems to believe in freedom . It could definitely seal better because I spent part of my trip home making sure my drink didn't become my passenger's drink. Still giving it 5 stars. May I bring my 32 oz tumbler so you can fill it with Mango sticky rice please?

    Was in the area on a hot day and decided to stop at Boba Homies for refreshments because of their…read moreunique menu. We tried the mango calamansi and guava matcha (from the summer seasonal series), both with lychee jelly. Both drinks were enjoyable and tasted like their namesake flavors. The calamansi drink was very refreshing, and the guava with matcha was a unique twist on a classic drink. Another plus was the option for lactose-free milk. It's not always easy to find lactose-free products, so it's great that it's an option here. We didn't realize we could adjust the sweetness and ice levels, as there were no signs indicating we could do so, and the cashier didn't ask us if we wanted to. If we had known, we would've gone down on the sweetness by at least 50%, as both drinks were quite sweet. Service here was also exceptionally warm and friendly. There are a few tables to sit at and a few card games to entertain yourself with if you decide to spend some time in the shop. Overall, would recommend for a boba pit stop if you're in the area.

Unfortunately, this location was a completely different experience. Drinks were also not consistent. The sweetness level was INSANELY sweet. I normally get light sweet and my partner gets normal sweetness. His drink was much sweeter than normal, whereas my drink tasted like a normal sweetness level. The service was disappointing from the start. The staff came across as a bit rude, and I was surprised watching how the drinks were being prepared. It wasn't busy at all. There were only two parties in the shop. I watched the barista start making my drink by pouring the tea, but instead of finishing it with the milk foam, she set it aside and began making the "easier" drinks for the party that ordered after me. They ended up receiving their entire order before my drink was even finished despite ordering after me. I understand trying to improve efficiency during a rush, but when there are only a couple of customers, it's frustrating to see orders completed out of sequence without any explanation. It definitely left a bad impression, especially since I've always had such positive experiences at other Wushiland locations.

No matter what I order whether it's a frappe, matcha, milk tea, slushes, or even their unique and delicious creations the service is SO FAST. When it's not too busy I have ordered a Thai Milk Tea and before I decided where I wanted to sit my order was being called up. Whenever I see Mont or Bella working I know I'm going to have any question of mine answer so sweetly and my order prepared so quickly. Recently they've made great renovations to the establishment. The sitting area outside has these cute chairs and is well shaded and makes for a relaxing spot to study and talk to friends. Their music plays classic hits from the 2000s that gives such a nostalgic vibe to the entire place and I return weekly if I ever need a place to focus on my studies and online classes. I have tried every lemonade at Boba Indeed and it has been such a refreshing order during this hot L.A. Summer. My favorite creation is the Up All Night as it's their espresso frappe topped with whip cream, chocolate chips, and coffee jelly that really settles my coffee cravings. You have to try their Small Bites! The mozzarella sticks are my go to.
