    Seventeen milk tea
    Bethany R.

    Came here to get the Seventeen milk tea and I was a little disappointed. It tasted like it had been sitting for a while and the ice melted and watered the drink down. If it wasn't watered down I feel like it would have been really good. The drink was super pretty though so points for that.

    1. The drink tasted as delicious and refreshing as the ones ordered at other locations! 2. The spot has fast casual vibes! 3. There are inside seatings available! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! 5. Parking lot is small, and street parking is available! Note: There is a single restroom for customers! Photo: Honey Lemon Black Tea

    Thai tea, mango shaved ice and mango smoothie with extras.
    kimberly C.

    Great little place to get a little sweetness after having bcd tofu. We had a mango smoothie - thumbs up from my 12 yr old -got a little extra boba and crystal jelly, Thai tea with boba ( made someone teeth turn a little orange-a little strong to me) and a mango shaved ice. We ordered regular with came in a 16 oz cup- ice on bottom, mango chunks and purée, crystal boba, condensed milk and a small scoop of mango ice cream. We all seemed to enjoy this one. It wasn't too packed at 9:00 p - good seats to enjoy. Best price - it was all less than $15

    Not a single fruit bits on the peach strawberry fruit tea.

    This is the only location of Boba Time that I went to that does not put fruit bits on their Peach Strawberry fruit tea. In one of the drinks, there was a hair inside the cup. That is disgusting and unacceptable. Just in case you want to order from this place, Please make sure to check your orders before you leave. As for us, we were very disappointed and will not be back in this location.

    The drinks we ordered were sweet. So, we needed some water after the fact. Be prepared as they don't give out water or a cup of ice.

    The drinks we ordered were naturally sweet in a good way. So, we needed some water after the fact. Be prepared as they don't give out water or a cup of ice. $5 for Bottle of Water-- they don't have tap water to spare. $1.25 for Cup of Ice The server was very nice about it but shame on the management.

    Considering this chain has a ton of locations, you'd think it would be more of a slay. I have no idea if all of their locations are like this, but genuinely the best thing about this place was that it's open later than the boba shops around the area. We quite literally had no choice but to come here, and I'm starting to think that opening late compared to competition is the only way they get business. We got (rating): Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba (3/5), Strawberry Matcha with Boba (1.70/5), House Milk Tea, Peach Strawberry Tea with Boba (2.5/5), Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea (2/5), Pistachio Matcha Milk Tea with Boba (1.50/5) I was so excited to try my pistachio matcha tea because I've never seen that combination be done in any store before. When I tell you I felt INSTANT sadness after that very first sip, I am emphasizing the INSTANT part. The drink itself was so watery it was like matcha flavored water, and the boba only served to make the drink worse by adding this slimy, soft lump of goo to your every sip. Across the board, the drinks were watery. The fruit in the fruit teas didn't shine through and the jasmine in the jasmine milk tea wasn't strong enough. Just super disappointing all around.

    this latte didn't taste like coffee at all, and wasn't even hot and steamed properly.

    The staff doesn't seem to know how to do the job properly. I ordered a coffee, but they didn't even know how to make it, which was quite surprising. The boba also seemed old. Please make sure to provide proper training, or hire someone who is more experienced.

    No complaints I always get a tasty drink out of here every time. It's a reliable spot for good boba drinks, you know what you're pretty much getting out of each and every location. This location stays open pretty late so any late night boba cravings for me this is where I'm most likely going to.

    Lavender Milk Tea

    3.5 stars rounding down Visited out of convenience since it's open until 11pm and in the same plaza with bunch of eateries~ Hangari kalguksu, Sun Nong Dan Lavender Milk Tea- ok but not amazing, but other drinks could be better so might try something else next time No sugar/ ice adjustments Staff was nice

    Boba good. Music good. Deserts good. Happy to spend money here . Usually pretty quick, spacious lobby, cute lights outside. Macarons are super cute addition. Crew is always pleasant

    Just like any other Boba time, great boba place. Sometimes it gets too busy here and the drinks may take quite some time, but quality is consistent. Good place to go after eating from the restaurants in the plaza. All the drinks are good, would recommend just the regular milk tea if you aren't feeling too adventurous. I got a strawberry flavored drink and it was good. Would recommend this place if you are looking for a good spot for boba.

This spot is tucked into the corner of the plaza so we literally had a moment of wait where it is LOL so just keep walking to the corner and you will see the sign board. This was matcha 3 on my LA matcha quest and honestly the most memorable imo. We came by on a weekday around ~11 and there was a short line that moved rather quickly. For the drink I got the double matcha; my friends tried the coffee. Ugh that double matcha spoiled me for life. Strong matcha flavor, cold foam was great without being too sweet or heavy; such a well balanced drink! Price point is definitely not bad for the quality and the cafe itself is petite, but bright and inviting. My friend enjoyed her coffee which was delish too~ I watched a poor guy quite literally explode a drink at the pick up counter when he was putting a lid on and the staff very graciously helped him clean it up and re-made the drink. Didn't appear even a tad disparaging and were super kind about it. Come by and have a great coffee or matcha!

Also one of the places with horrible parking. Valet only all day and the street parking is non existent, good luck!

I even asked if they could adjust it (they added pistachio powder), but it still leaned more like a mocha to me. It also wasn't that light green color I usually associate with pistachio drinks, so it caught me a little off guard. Overall, it ended up being on the sweeter side. That said, the staff were genuinely kind and the space feels really inviting--somewhere you can actually sit and stay for a bit. There's plenty of seating, which I appreciate. Only downside is parking can be a little tough. Only meter parking but it's great for locals I'd still come back and look forward to trying other menu items like their horchata frappe and some of the bakery goods.

The yuzu bits are incorporated in the drink, adding a light sweet and bitter taste. Service was super friendly and accommodating. Reasonable prices and this café stands out because of its free parking for sure. There are lots of cute shops lining the street that Picnic Coffee is located on, so check those out too!
