Pros: Deliciousness Cons: Wait time & drinks being served out of order. I'd never seen a place that has oat milk as their matcha default! I was so excited, really enjoyed my Double Matcha drink & the Dubai Chocolate cookie was divine. The downside was that ppl who arrived & ordered AFTER me were getting their drinks BEFORE me. I think there's something glitchy with their software: I ordered from the self-serve kiosk & got ticket #11. a fam who walked into the store & ordered at the front counter with an employee (after I already placed my order) got ticket #9. it seems the front counter POS & Kiosks aren't integrated. this might be why so many ppl are complaining in their reviews that their drinks are out-of-order & why some ppl are waiting so long. read more

I ordered a watermelon pineapple slush and it was really good, it only had a slight hint of pineapple which was fine because the watermelon taste was refreshing on a Saturday afternoon. Service was quick, I ordered at the counter because I didn't notice there were ordering kiosk until I was finished. Boba Tine has so many drinks to choose from. They have tables and chairs inside for dining in. Free parking in the parking lot. read more

The service was kinda slow today, I told the guy to put less sugar on my dragon fruit smoothie, he said it's not that sweet, so I said ok! I said to myself, hope he's right! I drank it later and it's not that sweet ! Just the way I wanted! read more

Boba time is always good, drinks never miss. Idk if they have new employees but those girls are rude asf. I work in customer service and to see those type of workers give me such an ick. They dont acknowledge you when you try to order, i asked them twice if we can order just to get their attention, I thank them and no response back. Someone grabbed our drinks and when we asked about it she looked at us as if it was our fault. Saying someone most likely took them with a blank stare.... Do ur job and offer a remake why must we ask? I dont get why people work when they hate it so much. But I would be in the wrong if I started an argument though? read more

Customer service is not that great. Cashier was taking personal calls while I was waiting to order. My order came up promptly less than five minutes. Parking is crazy since it is a shopping center. read more

After eating at Northern Cafe next door, we need a sweet treat and stopped in at Boba Time. This location is clean and the girls behind the counter are super sweet and fast. Also, this seems to be popular with the kiddos. There was a sweet little girl in front of us who ordered her drink and asked for strawberry popping boba on the side. I was impressed and asked her why does she get it on the side and she just replied, "I like it that way. I like eating it separate." Well said! I ended up getting the same drink as her a strawberry watermelon slushie, with strawberry popping boba inside my drink instead of on the side. I actually enjoyed this flavor and would get it again. Yes it's artificial, but the watermelon and strawberry taste, I thought they would cancel each other out and one would overpower the other, but I could taste both. I'd come back again to try one of their milk teas! read more

The only drink I like from there is the rose milk tea. The food is also good. I usually get popcorn chicken and their french fries. Everything else, ehhhh.. expect a wait time during peak hours lol read more

Match strawberry milk tea Coconut smoothie Mango smoothie Definitely above average for drink flavors. Most of the time there is a long wait to pick up your order. Large parking lot but the layout is terrible. read more

I was looking for a good bobba place and saw this look good from pictures. Service was ok very busy for an evening. Lots of options for food and drinks. Definitely will be back to get more boba read more

When I first walked in the cashier was talking to another employee and they seem to be very distracted when taking my order and got my order wrong gave me two different completely different drinks than from what I ordered and I couldn't even have time to get it fixed because I was on a set time during my lunch break it's unfortunate that during the whole time when my order was being taken There was lack of attention to detail. They ended up giving two milk tea, instead of a Oreo Matcha and a milk tea read more

Lot's of drink choices as well as dessert and a bit of food (like popcorn chicken and fries only, but it's good so I'm not complaining). Service is good, wait can get a bit long, but not all the time. read more

I like to come here every once in a while for the Thai iced tea. The workers are very nice and helpful. Whenever I come there's usually no line and the drinks are served fast. 10/10 would come here again read more

Idk if it's because it's late when we came but the boba was so hard. I get that it's supposed to be chewy but it's just wayyy too chewy and the jasmine tea was alright. Idk how it's same price as chagee tea when the difference in quality is huge read more

We ordered three drinks and got two out of the three incorrect.... not sure how a large thai tea smoothie with boba turned into a regular thai tea with no boba. The worker rolled her eyes at me when I asked her nicely about it read more

9/4/25 on Thursday at 4:10 pm, It's my first time to try their original acai bowl without coconut flake, blueberry and honey drizzle it's was so delicious and I like it!...

I had a very frustrating experience at this Boba Time location. It took 30 minutes to make a single drink, even though I watched multiple groups who ordered after me receive their drinks before I did. At the 20-minute mark, I asked about my order, and I was told that no one had even started working on it yet, but that it would be ready in 5 minutes. It actually took another 10 minutes. Keep in mind, my order was very simple a drink, a banana cheesecake, the cake and the macarons were already prepared.The cheesecake and macaron weren't even given to me. When I finally received the drink, it was made incorrectly. I specifically asked for no boba, and they gave me boba anyway. I asked for some form of compensation for the time wasted, especially after waiting nearly 40 minutes and seeing others served first. Instead, they canceled my order and gave me a refund. While I did get my money back, I wasted almost 40 minutes for nothing and ended up missing two buses home because of the delay. Very disappointing experience overall and poor communication, lack of organization, and no accountability. I won't be returning. read more

I came here after leaving Kaiser in Gardera which is next door, this place is located inside a small plaza nest between a restaurants. Finding a parking here is a pure nightmare, plus good luck trying to find parking on the street, (tip lot's of free parking next door at Kaiser ) I ordered the peach mango smoothie which was good and a pistachio frappe was also delicious. This is a pretty cool place, kinda small with a few tables and chair on the side, there are a lot of colorful menu on the wall, with several options, plus a variety of sweet deserts here as well, service was fast plus staff was nice and friendly. read more

This boba place is my reliable go-to source for anything Boba. My favorite refreshing drink is the lychee w/ the lychee jelly. The pros about this place is a couch to sit on while waiting and some tables if you want to stay and enjoy your drink. The con is that it's usually busy with people standing around outside waiting with you. But the staff are quick on orders. Convenient place if you're already in the plaza for a meal. It takes a bit more effort to look for parking if you are just coming to pick up Boba during lunch or dinner. read more

Went to "its Boba Time" tonight. I've been to many Boba joints, and I do prefer it's Boba Time over most places. It's clean, the staff is nice and the service is not too bad. They do get busy, which makes the wait time longer sometimes, but that's normal and honestly a good sign of a hot spot. They also sell finger foods and desserts. The restaurant is always clean, bright, and smells good. They have a huge menu that could be a little too much to choose from, but it is very organized, but the options and flavors are awesome. They have inside and outside seating for guests, and it's located in a great place with plenty of friendly activity going on. I recommend the strawberry banana #9 with Boba. Now I'm a strawberry banana kind of guy, but like I said, they have many, many flavors and styles of Boba. This is a cool location to hang out with friends or go on a light and simple date. The area is friendly and active. The sizes are normal, and a regular size is 16oz. The prices are average. Love this place!! read more

This place is so popular, we walked in through the back entrance and it was packed. But the line moves quickly so do not be discouraged in sticking around in line. I highly recommend one of their drinks on their top 10 list. I got the strawberry matcha with extra boba and it was delicious. I also ordered the Parmesan fries, let me tell you there is so much flavor packed in them......best fries I've had in a while hands down. Parking sucks in the shopping center itself because there are so many restaurants here. But if you find street parking on the street you can walk in through the back door and it is more convenient than fighting for parking. Highly recommend this spot, will be coming back!! read more

I walked out of the nearby Furaibo feeling like I was halfway to a food coma, but I just had this maddening urge for a matcha boba! Needless to say, this place was incredibly convenient! They were busy for a mid-week sorta late night. But no biggie because they were pretty fast. I put in my order of matcha tea+boba and played the waiting game. Welp. That game didn't last too long and I was surprised at how quickly my drink came out! The green matcha dominated the overall taste. Perfect sugar level, good chew on the boba and downright refreshing. It was the perfect way to finish my grub night. There are plenty of eateries here. If dessert is in mind and cake and/or ice cream (or the like) aren't what you're looking for (although they have something like those here!) milk tea might just take care of that fix! read more

I really like Boba time, the drinks and atmosphere are amazing but there is one cashier whose attitude is always negative. She treats customers with rudeness and it makes the experience unpleasant. With staff like this, the place could lose customers. A business grows when people feel welcomed and respected, and the staff's attitude is a big part of that. I hope this issue is addressed because Boba time has so much potential. read more

went 40 mins before closing and had to wait until 10:28 to get TWO drinks when there was barely anyone else in there. Brenda at the register was very rude. I had to catch her attention to get my order taken, even though she was standing directly at the registers. it was very standoffish and i felt like i shouldn't even had asked them to do their job. the staff was bumping into me and my friend and we were off on the side line. the drink was nasty as well! we got a banana matcha. it very watery, not sweet at all (she didn't ask us for level of sweetness and give us a chance to say). i also asked to have boba on mine and she seemed even more annoyed. when my friend said she wanted the same drink as me brenda barked "boba or no boba". when our drinks were finally finished we were the only ones left in there and the worker with red hair slid the drink across the counter as my friend remembered i had also asked for macrons. my friend asked the girl with red hair for them and she just told brenda to give them to us with attitude. moral of all this, the drinks were nasty, the workers attitudes were nasty, and i will for sure not be coming back! yall should be careful who you hire. read more

It was my first time here. I ordered the Rose Matcha with boba. It was too sweet for my liking and the boba was just ok. It wasn't stale but it didn't have that soft chewy texture that fresh boba usually has.. Even though the drink wasn't bad, it wasn't to my liking so I probably won't return. However, the place seems to be pretty popular and the service was friendly. So don't knock it until you try it. read more

I love how this place is situated next to a dozen other great Asian restaurant. This boba spot is the perfect post-meal drink. They are super efficient here and boba is very reasonable. They also have other desserts like macarons and cakes, but we didn't try any of those. I'm so glad they have honeydew boba. It's my favorite flavor. My friend got the pistachio matcha and also really enjoyed it. I customized my drink to be 50% sugar and less ice. They don't charge extra for less ice which is great, and they still fill the drink up. The boba itself in the drink is so fresh, soft, chewy, and mildly sweet. It's easily some of the best tapioca pearls I've had. I highly recommend this spot for excellent boba! read more

My go to boba spot, always good, always busy so it's better to place an order online (:

tl,dr: it's a decent stop for boba. a bit overrated. 3.5 stars Likes: + I love fruit flavors in general. This shop provides various fruity flavors in its wide array of drinks. + I like fruit-flavored popping boba. Non-likes: - Slow service during a hot typical Sunday afternoon. - Long wait times. - Despite the huge parking lot, it's very crowded. - A bit pricey. I had: $6.50 Coconut Strawberry Smoothie regular + $0.75 mango popping boba = $7.25 read more

I've been going to this place for so long, now my little sister frequents there. There have not been one single drink they've made for me that I complain about. The staff know their stuff. Ok I get it they're franchised, but come on the drinks are too good to care. read more

Our go-to boba spot. Milk tea and Thai tea were great as usual. Friendly staff. Wish they closed later though. Midnight cravings

I used to love coming to this boba time because it has all the great restaurants around the plaza but the person working in the afternoon shift around 3 gave such a bad customer service while I was exploring my drink options. Usually when we order the butterfly lemonade it's paired with some type of jelly boba but today our drinks came out a bit different... could've been different if they were to be friendly enough to give us recommendations on what we were ordering today because we were still exploring our options, it seems like they wanted me to order quickly although there were no more than 3 customers in the store. read more

Honestly, it's nice to have options the food industry has evolved in such a major way. People with food allergies and restrictions can finally enjoy treats too! I'm obsessed with the Blueberry Yogurt Smoothie at the moment. You get chunky edible pieces of fruit without an enormous amount of sugar additives. My food portion is that of a child, simple is key for me. I like what I like without all the extras. My family does enjoy the Milk Teas selection but again I like what I like. Ps. I do LOVE, their Taro Tea you're welcome! read more
