Had very low expectations, but since it's been here for a long time I thought, "wow how are they still in business when better boba places exist?" I ordered the thai tea with boba and it was surprisingly good! Not sure if it had any caffeine cause I drank it at 9pm but still slept fine. Makes you wonder if there's any actual tea in there. The inside feels like a fast food restaurant with the way it's setup but also has a photobooth if you're into that. You can order through the employee or through a kiosk here. read more

It's Boba Time - Thai Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

A bigger boba shop on the inside than the outside. Plenty of open seating for parties of any size. Stopped in to grab boba for dessert and the menu blew me away with how extensive it is. Staff was pleasant and definitely busy. The drinks were a little sweet to my tastes, I probably should have requested half sweetness but I know for next time. Pricing wise is pretty standard for most boba places in the area, only deterrent for me to return is the parking lot. read more

We were actually headed to another shop but no close parking plus it started pouring. It's Boba Time was right in front of our stall. We checked out its menu and liked it much more so Doc ran in to get our drinks. My lychee slush was good and refreshing. Nice change from iced coffee or tea. read more

Lots of choices...kinda overwhelming but options for everyone in your party, that's for sure. It took me awhile to go through the menu. I wanted tot try something different. So, I did their Strawberry Matcha Latte. Next time I will try their one of their milk foam tea's. Thai tea float or Jasmine Tea float sounded good, too! They also have fresh juices if coffee or tea isn't your jam. Its almost like Jamba Juice and Boba mashed together. Good to know, because I can get juice here next time. Service was great. The girl at the counter that greeted me and took my order immediately said "HI" and asked me to let her know when I'm ready. Place is kept clean, and so was the restrooms. read more

Ummmmm, It's Boba Time is so good, after having dinner at Olleh my husband and I decided we'd get a SLT (sweet little treat). The menu is pretty extensive and I was a little overwhelmed and was really happy when I saw that they sold crispy chicken I knew I would have to come back during the week day. I ended up ordering the pistachio matcha milk tea with matcha topping and boba while my husband order the pistachio oreo shake. We ordered through their machine which allowed us to custom the sweetness and toppings so it was really efficient. The cafe itself is really busy but there's plenty of space and lots of little tables to wait and drink your drink and do some work. The service is really fast and when I got the chance to taste my drink I was so glad that I had it at 75% sweetness, it was perfect. Then I tried my husbands shake and oh my God, I am so jealous the bits of pistachio and oreo was so good. The pistachio is definitely more prominent which is alright with me because it's delicious! I looked at the menu online and they have a horchata matcha milk tea and next time I really want a milk tea and crispy chicken you'll find me here. read more

One of my favorite places for Boba in Kearny Mesa. There's so many options! But when in doubt, this place has just the flavors you need! There is even a top 20 list of their most popular drinks! Convenient location for a quick in and out. You can order with a cashier or the screen. My recommendation Pistachio frappe Thai tea and Okinawa read more

boba time was a great spot for a long time, but as more boba shops have opened up in the area, this one hasn't quite kept up with the improvements others have made. one thing that still stands out, though, is the boba itself -- the pearls are consistently good, even if the tea doesn't quite match that same level. read more

drinks: I used to come here for the boba drinks but they're just okay. This time we tried the matcha einspanner and double matcha drinks. They are more milky than matcha tasting. I think I'd rather get regular drinks here than matcha. service: they're okay, they'll get upset sometimes when they call people's names or orders and they're not there in time. it's understandable at the same time. ambiance: this place is really cute! i love the vibes and people definitely do come and just chill at the tables talking. i love the decor! read more

Yun tea is a little too sophisticated for my kid's palette so we ran over here for some fruity slush drinks. ordered the lychee slush with boba.. she loved it! if you're on the prowl for boba on the daily- check out their daily specials! I love that they don't charge extra for boba topping- makes complete sense to offer boba as a standard. Guy behind the counter was nice but he needs to call orders out louder and say it with his chest- our lychee slush sat there melting buyer beware, they don't take AMEX. read more

I haven't tried the food but some of their drinks are solid. I've tried this spot out a few items and the only thing I like is their peach-lychee fruit tea and lychee-strawberry fruit tea. It gets packed inside during peak hours but the staff are well trained and are able to keep up with the demanding environment from what I've observed thus far. A kid named Joseph helped me a few times and suggested different fruit teas on different occasions since I'm lactose intolerant. He even brought out my drink to me the first time I came to study because I lost track of time while studying which is why I wanted to throw his name out there. Very sweet kid along with some of the other young staff. The rest of the staff have been kind and patient when I've come in to order. They go out of their way to explain the drinks to me when I have questions and I always ask what their favorite drink is to try :) I would come back just to chat and try out the drinks they suggest sometimes. The staff are all young but they're all hard workers. Some of the drinks on the menu weren't my style (like the honey dew slush) but overall the vibe of the place is pretty solid. I like coming here to study on my down time. The music is . . . Aight and it's sometimes hectic inside but this kind of environment helps me lock in. The interior is well lit, regularly cleaned, and the bathrooms are always clean/stocked. I would recommend it over Yun if you're lactose intolerant or trying to avoid dairy. The menu is huge and they have some decent selections. Parking is trash but it's like that everywhere in convoy. read more

It's been years since last time i visited. I would say their drinks are ok, nothing special. The boba texture is a bit chewy than my liking. Their price is reasonable. They renovated the interior which is nice. Overall, it's not a bad place to get boba but there are better options else where. read more

Service was super speedy! Store was very clean and I was welcomed upon entering. I tried the banana coffee and it was delicious. I came early on a Sunday right when they opened but I can imagine the parking is busy later in the day because of the area. But everything was great on my visit! read more

Personally I appreciate variety of drinks on the menu and quality of the teas. My only complain is parking situation. It is nearly impossible to park in the mall area as all the spots are perpetually taken. I wish there was 20 mins zone where people like myself who place to go order, can leave the car momentarily and grab their order without fear of being towed. I know it is not really on the restaurant but something to be aware while visiting read more

Wow! Waiting 25 minutes for my drink and nothing. Terrible . It was crowded but they need to add more help.

Another great find that I recently discovered! I'm always on the hunt for good boba tea places and I think this one is my new go-to and here are a couple reasons why: Located along convoy street and it's in the corner suite which you can see from the street. As with most locations along convoy parking can be tough depending on when you go. The interior is very welcoming - clean, modern and very IG worthy. I was also impressed by their menu which has lot of variety and options such as alternative milks. I especially like the taro series and got one of the drinks in the series - taro coconut smoothie with boba. So delicious with its creamy flavor, coconut pudding and chewy boba that I literally drank it in 5 minutes. As for the price, it's pretty much in line with other boba places and each addition and alternative milk will cost you around $0.75 extra. read more

This place is awesome! I have come here once before and I was overwhelmed (in a good way) with how many options there are. There's drinks and drink customizations, just as you would expect at an average boba spot except that they stand out in their quality of ingredients. A real bonus is that this place is big enough to see big groups of young people on any given weekday. I like being around people just talking casually about their days and going on dates! So cute & sweet. My drink: PB Banana + oreo Food: popcorn chicken & fries (how could I resist?? His drink: Taro milktea w/ bob I enjoyed everything.

Big parking lot, plenty of parking for a weekday at noon. They're open open 7 days week 11a-10p. They have an app. You can order ahead of time and earn points. I should've done that before ordering and honestly I wish the girl at register told me about it. She didn't ask if I had the app or promote it. I saw a poster of it when I walked in. I downloaded it after sitting down to kill time and I could have got 20% off my first order. They also have a kiosk at the front to order from. We were 2nd in line. I decided to just wait and order. They have more than just boba here. They also have food like chicken and fries, desserts like macarons and sliced cake. Nice and clean inside. We ordered from top 20 menu mango smoothie w/ boba Tiger sugar milk w/ boba My mango smoothie was ok. At least it was blended all the way. I've got to boba spots with ice chunks. Boba was good- it's the only free add on. Others are 75 cents. My daughter got the tiger sugar milk and she liked it. I would come here again and try other flavors and their food. read more

This place is cute. Shout out to my friend for putting me on. We had a group hangout here and spent about an hour just chilling and drinking our drinks. I ordered the Galaxy and the Matcha float. Both were really yummy. I think I would reorder the matcha float again. It wasn't too busy when we went but I heard it gets busy. They have indoor seating with different sized tables so there are some that are big enough for groups. We did order some chicken and that was really good. I would order that again too. I think in general I would probably do its boba time to go next time since I heard it can get busy. Looking forward to dropping in again. read more

This is the review for their matcha einspanner. I have tried many matcha spots but most of them are either too bitter or too milky. This is the first time trying boba time's matcha and it's totally balanced and delicious. I like that it's not insanely sweet. 25% sweet is good enough for me. It's not a new boba shop but the drink is high quality compared to other competitors. read more

locked door before closing and gave me a regular instead of large even though i paid large. mid

My fiancé loves this place. Every time we're in the city and makes his drive here. I'm not a big fan but their drinks are good. They have a large selection to choose from so you'll find something you like. Today I tried their strawberry banana shake. I'm more of a Raspberry banana girl so it's hard to find that kick on the strawberry. Overall it's good ! read more

It's Boba Time - Strawberry banana and shake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I was picking up something at the bakery in the same plaza and wanted a refreshing drink. You can order at the counter or use the self serve order screen. I don't come here often so it was helpful to see a screen dedicated to all of their top drinks. I opted for most popular drink #2 the pistachio frappe and the #5 strawberry coconut slush with rainbow jelly add on. My drink was refreshing. I reduced the sweetness to 50% so it was like having a not so sweet milky slushee with real strawberry bits. We've had the pistachio frappe before but today it wasn't blended well. Chunks of unblended pistachio hit my throat when drinking it. Not a pleasant feeling. This location is quite roomy. Once you order there's a whole half of the store you can stand while you wait. There are a few small tables for anyone that wants to chat, study or hangout. This plaza can get particularly packed during lunch and dinner time. There is Olleh Bbq, Tiffany's Haircuts, Bootbarn and Tasty Bakery among many other places. read more

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place yet. It's become my go-to spot for bubble tea because they consistently nail the flavors, are generous with toppings, and offer a wide range of choices. My usual order is the Thai smoothie with Oreos mixed in and boba--it's a favorite of mine. Recently, though, I tried the coconut strawberry smoothie with boba and mango jelly, and it's now my new go-to. The staff here are always friendly. I've also enjoyed their popcorn chicken and fries as a tasty snack. There are a few tables where you can relax and enjoy your drinks. There's a large parking lot, but it tends to fill up quickly, especially on weekends when no one feels like cooking. Overall, I really love this place and plan to keep coming back. read more

i came in around 4 today and was Very disappointed with the service. we had to wait in line for a while bc the manager was talking to someone he knew (who had already ordered on the ipad) instead of trying to take our order. i discarded that bc i really wanted a oreo pistachio frappe that i've been craving. so we went ahead and ordered on the ipad. i've came here and gotten this exact drink and it all came out wrong. the cup size seemed to be regular, they said it was a large. and i had to remind them they needed to add the topping. oreo and pistachio. like the picture shows. the manager looked at me like i was asking for too much. i just wanted it the way i've always gotten it. he took it back and still only added pistachio. he even had to look at the picture to see if i was right and still looked at me like i was crazy. it's just sad. i really liked this place. read more

All i ever order when I come here is their Taro Oreo Smoothie. It is SO good! Their fruit teas on the other hand...the butterfly tea one or galaxy one with the stars, whatever. It was literally water. It's a nope for me. Avoid at all costs. The staff here seems very stagnant. They don't really seem to enjoy their job, there is this one guy who had the quietest voice ever, he wasn't speaking into the mic correctly. I literally could not hear what orders were being called out. There are some days this place gets BUSY. The wait is kind of long, not my go-to boba spot but again something about the taro oreo smoothie just keeps me coming back... read more

We decided to stop by this boba shop before heading to the beach since they open early. They've been around for a while in San Diego, but I remember not being too impressed during my last visit. I thought l'd give them another try. The interior is bright and has a nice modern feel to it. I ordered their regular milk tea and the tiger sugar milk tea. Unfortunately, this visit was consistent with my previous experience - I walked away disappointed. The milk tea tasted a bit watery, and the boba were harder and chewier than I prefer. I probably won't be back here again. read more

I love that there's always a boba time wherever I go. I've been to multiple SD locations as well as the Temecula location and sometimes order delivery from the West Covina location when I'm visiting family. I would say I'm loyal to my boba places.. Drinks at boba time are always good! I haven't tried all the flavors but I like that there's always a variety. When I saw that this location had hot food options I decided to try it out. I'm not usually in SD anymore since I've moved so I stopped here before heading home on a brief visit to SD. I was going to go with Tapioca Express because it's been one of my favorites since high school but wanted to give this place a chance. I got my usual strawberry matcha and it was delicious as usual! I also ordered a popcorn chicken and the crisp was on point! A bit over breaded than I'm used to and missing flavor. No seasoning on it at all-definitely something they could improve on. You definitely need the dipping sauce that they offer upon ordering. Other than that, the chicken was juicy, not overcooked or dry. I would like to try their taiyaki next if I'm ever out here again. Would've given 5 stars if the chicken had some flavor by itself.. The service was good-the cashier and the girl working the pick up counter were friendly and welcoming! I came in around 4:30pm and it was a bit messy in the dining area and not crowded at all. The walls could also use a hit of fresh paint as there's some stains. I can see where they're going with the decor! Just a few things to improve on. I would stop by here again in the future if I'm in the area read more
