    Boba Time was a quick pit stop on the way to LAX. I appreciated the ease of parking, cleanliness of the restaurant, and the amount of options and substitutes! Any boba lover will find something they like here. The house milk tea w/ soy milk 100% sweet was just okay for me. It was good but not great. I would try something else next time I come to this spot.

    I believe I've been to their Irvine location before, but this was my first time at this (newly opened) location. There were only two workers and when me and my two friends got there, the store was relatively empty. The dude that was taking the orders seemed exasperated and just exhausted in general, but I've worked in the food industry before and I know how taxing late-night shifts can be, so giving him some grace for that. He still took our orders and got them out as soon as possible so definitely grateful for that. The drinks themselves were pretty great. They have so much variety, and they even have a top 20 fan favorites, which is helpful when you're undecided and don't know what to try. I am mega basiq, so I decided to go for the ol' reliable Cookies 'n' Cream and even went ahead and added, as a topping, an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream, 'cause this is America after all, haha.

    Plastic residue that fell in a cup from poking the lid while I was drinking it and had to spit. It out.

    I'm Very disappointed in the service and safety they provide. I ordered a drink that was delivered. I got the drink and when I sat down to drink it, I poked the straw to the top of the lid. What I thought was Boba was actually plastic residue from the lid . I called the store and they were very aware of the situation and said it was a manufacturing issue yet they still sold it . I also called corporate and they are also aware of the issue and said they were gonna reach out to the manufacturer to correct it. After I reached out to corporate, they told me to reach out to the store because it was a franchise so I did. I didn't get sick or had to go to the emergency department but I did feel something wasn't right in my throat ... I emailed them over five times. No response got no response. I called the store multiple times asking me for the owner leaving a message. Still no response. at this point now I'm leaving a review because they obviously don't care about any safety regulations, and knowing that there was a defective product and still sold it to me is horrendous criminal and a disgusting way to run a business. Here is proof and evidence of the plastic cup with the plastic pieces or some of the plastic pieces I swallowed.

    Tiramisu crepe with mold

    There was MOLD ON CAKES. I ordered a drink and a slice of tiramisu crepe cake. The drink was good. The cake however had MOLD. Meaning they just let the cake sit there in the shelf and didn't bother checking. It made me really nauseous afterwards. Will not be coming back here.

    House Milk Tea, black sugar milk tea
    Jenna L.

    Ordered through DoorDash for pickup, and our drink was fantastic! Ready to pick up when we got there, and the staff (2 in the front, 1 making drinks) were super welcoming What we got: black sugar milk tea w/ 50% sweetness and regular boba, regular milk tea w/ 50% sweetness - both drinks were fantastic! Could have used a little less boba, but there's an option to adjust, so we will do light boba next time~ but the taste was amazing - regular size is $5.70 + $0.75 for large size Small store, so not much place to sit (actually not sure if I noticed any, but just grabbed in/out), but you can park in their lot if there's space (~6-10 parking spots). Great location because there's not much boba around 3rd street, except OneZo but that's in the mall and super $$ (7-8 for a drink)

    They have really best and delicious boba I ever try, the employees were very kind. I recommend this place.

    Parking: There's a small lot for the building right in front, otherwise, there's metered parking along 3rd. If you come during the daytime, you can find 2 hour parking on the nearby neighborhood streets along Sweetzer. Experience: Fast service and wide menu. They have milk tea, fruit tea, smoothies,m, milkshakes, frappes, pretty much any kind of drink you'd want in any flavor. They also had other desserts and acai bowls. I feel like their prices were also more reasonable than other boba places. I've only gotten their milk teas with boba so far, but everything sounds delicious! The restaurant is pretty much a storefront, so I wouldn't suggest coming here to sit and drink, but it's definitely a great to-go spot.

    Taro milk tea with strawberry and mango boba
    Fazil A.

    This place was a bit overwhelmed when we showed up on a Sunday. I'm not much of a boba a·fi·ci·o·na·do but this place seems good. Be careful of people in front of you ordering smoothies or milkshakes or things like that. The staff can't seem to handle that. But we ordered boba simple and out drinks came out pretty quick.

Their smoothie section is inside of a grocery store, which added to the confusion. The multiple lines here made it confusing since they had a cafe and bakery section and another section for food items. I eventually found out I was supposed to order Erewhon drinks from the tablet instead of wait in line and then later found out I was waiting in the wrong section to pick up my drink. I ordered the Blueberry SYRN smoothie from Sydney Sweeney through the tablet. After waiting about least half an hour, that was when I was told where to pick up my drink that I ordered on the tablet. The drink still looked pretty when I picked it up, but it didn't taste like anything special. The smoothie still tasted good though, so not much to complain about that, besides the high price tag of their drinks (it was $22). Now, enough about the smoothie section, the rest of this store looked very well organized with their products and it looked like they sell good quality items here. The store looked organized because I liked how they had all the labels facing out, unlike other stores with their drinks section. The meats and sushi section looked fresh, they have a colorful variety of fruits and veggies too. They also give some free food samples throughout the store, so that was nice. I'd recommend this place for the experience. It's cool how this is a grocery store where you can buy fresh food and drinks here. It's also a good place if you're looking for some colorful veggies.

The good news was that no one got hurt and that he didn't hit the storefront. Jamie W and I were just here over PRIDE weekend, so I know how popular this place can get. It's WeHo after all, and I just presume smoothies and açaí bowls are part of the required diet around here. Well, it wasn't nutritional value that drove us (...you should pardon the expression) but more likely a guilty conscience from our weekend debauchery. The menu was as expected. Jamie went for the $15.95 Açaí Superberry Bowl, an immaculately organized container filled with açai, blueberry, banana, cinnamon, sea salt and almond milk topped with honey, granola, fresh berries, coconut flakes (Photo 9). As expected, it was delicious and quite filling. My stomach wasn't feeling as ambitious, so I ordered the $13.95 Chocolate Supreme Smoothie, a refreshing and suitably thick blend of banana, almond butter, cacao, oat milk, maca, and their own plant protein (Photo 10). That was enough healthfulness for me. I believe there's a giant margarita at Fiesta Cantina waiting for me.

I went with a couple of friends for dinner- we were around the area and thought it was an opportune time to show them a place they weren't familiar with! I've been here since I was a kid, and though some things changed, alot hasn't! This was during a world cup game, so it was very lively at pub areas as they were broadcasting live. Everyone was so invested, from the patrons, chefs, servers, and even line cooks! Went to a stall selling the 'best corned beef sandwich' from Magee's kitchen. The servers and cook were super nice and the corned beef on display made my mouth water! It was very good, and paired with their blood orange soda, wasn't too heavy! It was a big enough sandwich that I took the other half home! I also got a cornbread muffin from Gumbo pot- which was good but a little dry.

A great experience for locals and tourists alike. Location 4 stars: In the Fairfax District area of Los Angeles, to the West of the Grove. It has busy parking lot which is usually quite full. Although some restaurants will validate part of the parking fees, be prepared to pay somewhere between $10 and $56 depending on how long you stay and which stores you visit.

You can also park in the Grove's multi-story parking structure, but they will not accept validation from Farmer's Market businesses. The Grove also has Valet parking on premises.

As you stroll through the market you will encounter gourmet food stores (such as Monsieur Marcel Gourmet Store), meat counters (such as Huntington Meats), takeout restaurants (such as Stara Polish Pierogi and Sausage, Banana Leaf Singaporean restaurant and Oh My Dumpling Chinese food), and fine dining restaurants (such as ETTORE OSTERIA Italian and Monsieur Marcel French Bistro).
