    Reviews With Photos - It's Boba Time - Downey

    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). The place is clean and well lit. Cute LED decoration on the wall. 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). It's a small & lowkey place but very clean and the service is quick. 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. Thank you so much for creating a welcoming and chill environment! Will definitely be added to my go-to list!

    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. This Boba time spot also has a beautiful interior and exterior SO MAKE SURE TO CHECK THIS BOBA PLACE OUT!!!!!

    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.

    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!)

We circled a little to find parking, but they have a public parking lot next to the post office across the street. There is a 2 hour limit you should keep in mind. There were a decent amount of tables inside. We even got a table with outlets for our laptops. You seat yourself. I didn't see staff cleaning the whole time we were there. The staff here seem to be the cool type. As a customer I feel like my being there was interrupting their conversation. My niece ordered a Latte ($5.50) with the Cold Foam ($1.50) and I ordered the Oat Based Spanish ($7) with the Cold Foam ($1.50). They really pushed the cold foam here. We also ordered a Pistachio Croissant ($??) and a Kouign Amann ($??). Their pastry case can you better signage and clear pricing labeled. We both enjoyed our lattes for the most part. The croissant was pretty but it wasn't a tasty fluffy flakey croissant. It was a bit dense. Also neither pastries were heated up. The kouign amann was the most disappointing as we took a bite and it was SOUR. Not feeling it. Neither of us liked it and we tossed it. I think they put passionfruit in the filling and it ruined the whole thing. Had it been labelled we would have selected a different pastry. Before I left I also ordered a Matcha ($7.25) for the road... WARNING... For some reason they put maple and cinnamon in their matcha. I should have been more clear with which one I was ordering. It wasn't like toss-it awful but it was like mhmm, would have liked it better without the maple and cinnamon. Ohh and I interacted with a different staff, but they were also trying to push the cold foam. I already tried it, I don't need any more cold foam. I like the spanish latte, not too excited for the pastries, and staying away from the matcha. The hanging out aspect with my niece was the best thing about my visit.

I was in the area and I've never had a cute coffee with the latte art (so many of my friends are going to roast me for this) When I pulled up -nice private parking -a staff member was outside painting on the windows with the cutest window art. The girl had talent! This place has also given back. They helped with the LA fires last year. So bonus points for places who give back. (They gave back to the Pasadena humane society) There was a pretty big line and it was pretty loud in here, but it went by very fast. My friend grabbed a table while I placed the order. -they do have a good amount of seating. The place is pretty small though. So we sat for a minute after our drinks came out and then decided to take it to go -they have latte art that changes every month. So I like they have some rotating options. It was my turn and I ordered two sugar free mocha iced coffees. One with regular foam, And mine had strawberry foam. When I told Matthew at the counter it was really important the one drink be as sugar free as possible due to my friend being diabetic, he warned us there was sugar in the foam, but he would go as light as possible. So I appreciate him warning us and taking it serious. I picked the new hello kitty art of the month (hello kitty in a bathing suit with waves and dolphins) And my friend picked from the new monthly latte art as well, and got the Kirby character Even though it was busy, it took probably 2 minutes for our drinks to be made Matthew was absolutely great. His energy, he had a smile on his face, was knowledgeable about the menu, Matthew was everything you'd want in a staff member. Just like any coffee place, you pay and give them a name for your order, and then they call your name and you pick up your coffee at the counter. These drinks hit the spot!!! It was very trendy. They had Sabrina carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo specials and they even had a Lana Del Rey latte (cinnamon girl, named after her song) only thing that bummed me out They had a case with delicious pastries. But since I came here later in the day, they only had a couple stragglers left behind -they open at 7 am, for everyone needing their morning coffee -vegan options -free WiFi -woman owned -LGBTQ owned -they give back to the community

You can actually taste the matcha without it being overwhelming, and the cold foam adds a great finishing touch. At $8 each, the portion size and quality feel worth the price.

I also appreciate that this is a Mexican-owned business, it's great to see local entrepreneurs creating something this high quality. The location fits perfectly with the concept, and I'll definitely be coming back.

Sometimes it was sweet, sometimes it was bitter. So I stopped coming since it's on the other side of town. I probably drop by once a month nowadays and the flavor is there! They have sweet bread available. Aside from their regular menu, they have a monthly menu that features the month. In December, they have "Christmas" drinks whereas in June, they have "summer"drinks .. it just varies from month to month. Parking is free since it's part of the Bellflower Steelcraft. I feel they make drinks quick, I usually wait less than 5 mins for my drinks. Our usual orders consist of: kids iced mocha, cafe de olla, & the iced cookie butter latte. Oh! Plus you have an option of adding cute art on some of the drinks for a dollar! I've had hello kitty, pochacco, snoopy with a soccer ball & text Mexico

My issues were with just about everything else. The parking is impossible - the lot in the back only fits 4 cars and the street parking is full of residential cars. The interior is pretty small and it was super crowded when we got there. There's seating for maybe 20ish people which was all full and a line of about 10 people when we got there so it was even hard to find places to stand. We watched a number of people walk into the door behind us and immediately walk back out. Service took a long time, I understand they were busy but from the time we walked in until the time we left took 27 minutes and we got 3 peanut butter lattes. I don't know if there was something special going on or if they are always that busy but I probably wouldn't go back and test my luck. The staff were okay, they weren't friendly or unfriendly they were just there so that didn't make a positive or negative impact on the visit.
