    As much as we love Bobatime, this location never fails to amaze me, in the worst way! It is by far the worst location I've ever been to. The employees move at a snail's pace & are rude. I highly suggest you spent more time training your employees on proper etiquette. I have never placed an order and gotten out in under 20 minutes, even with only two customers in the store and 3+ employees working. Today they had 4 employees working and although there were 5-6 customer in the store waiting for their order, we waited 30 mins for our Taiyaki and they gave them to us burnt. When I returned them to them, they didn't even throw them away, they just left them on top of a machine. I'm speechless that they think this is ok. So why do I keep coming back oh yeah because my kids love boba. Ugh!! I wish there was another location closer. Do better, Bobatime!!

    This place was clean and was not to busy! It had a nice outdoor seating and extra seating inside as well. Great vibe, nice music, and affordable prices. They are ample amount of options for drinks, smoothies, iced coffees, and boba. The staff was quick and efficient great flavors on the smoothie blend I tried peach mango! I highly recommend! :)

    Bad made drink

    Terrible service, Alyssa P and the crew during Monday night Order a three piece Taiyaki yet they only served two of them, after they were told the mistake they proceded and took 5+ minutes to correct my order while the drinks were getting warm and watery The coconut strawberry boba tents to come with chop strawberries yet they decide to miss out the main attraction of the drink and not put strawberries... and when they were told why did they not add strawberries, they acted surprised like they dont have the directions on how to make the drinks! They are more busy talking to one another than making sure the orders are corrects while they drink on the left overs of the orders they make.... If you can do all that talking you definitely can make sure ones order is correct Slow service Incorrect order bad customer service

    Peach Strawberry Fruit tea made wrong!
    Mercedes S.

    I ordered a peach strawberry fruit tea which is supposed to come with chopped lychee and peach bits. I received a drink that tasted like strawberry and was half filled with so many boba - which I DID NOT ORDER. I was excited for this drink and it was a complete let down. No chopped fruit bits as stated and no peach flavor

    Strawberry matcha

    Still on that boba kick. If you've read my other boba related reviews, I don't have many milk tea shops around my local area. Its one other, then, 2 boba times. While running errands I looked up milk tea and was surprised to see boba time in San Fernando. Being so close I just had to come and check it out. Not gonna lie, the GPS took me to the area but said it was inside Spectrum. After pulling over and figuring it out I ended up on the correct corner. You can't miss it as it is it's own independent building with huge letters practically throwing the word BOBA at you. To me its hard to rate and review a boba time. For me they are practically the same. So the question really is, how was the service? was I happy with my drink? The service was great and the drink wasn't the best but thats all they could. My only opinion is their parking lot. Its kind of useless. Its a nice size but it parks 2 handicaps and 1 regular parking spot. The rest of the lot is used to maneuver your big ol trucks out of the lot. But people park in those non parking areas. parking: small private lot, street parking (metered) VERDICT: Rinse and repeat

    The ghost of "obvious" matcha

    Came to this location for the first time today. They have a signage advertising the Dubai chocolate drink with a beautiful picture that clearly states the ingredients as chocolate, pistachios and kataifi. My daughter saw it and wanted to try it as she loves Dubai chocolate. We waited over 30 minutes but the place was busy so we understood and didn't mind waiting. Once we got the drink, it tasted strongly as matcha which none of us is a fan of. I asked the guy at the register if they use matcha in the drink and he said he wasn't sure, I asked him to please ask a coworker. He came back saying that, they "thought" they use matcha, still not being sure. I politely explained to him that the description of the drink did not mention it to which he responded "well it's pretty obvious". ???? How is it obvious to me if the very same employees that make the drink don't know if it has it or not? I asked him if we could switch it for another drink since we don't like matcha at all and the answer was " well, I can't give you a drink for free". Besides the poor attitude, it's not your customers fault if you post misleading advertising, it's also not safe at all for potential allergies. And no, it's not obvious that it comes with when there is no mention of the item in the description. I ended up asking for his supervisor since he had no clue on how to handle the situation. The lady asked if I wanted a refund, I explained the situation again and simply asked for another drink. She ended up giving us another drink of our choice even though she seemed bothered by it, no apology whatsoever,We selected a beverage that was at a lower price while we still paid for the more expensive. It's not about the money, you guys need some serious work on your common sense.

    Taro Milk Tea Matcha Milk Tea

    Best Taro I've ever had. Partner got a matcha and it was great too! Workers are very nice and very fast with the drinks. Very relaxed store for a busy street. Place doesn't deserve a 2.5 star, go try them out.

    Megan L.

    I rarely give a score this low, so that's saying something. After my experience, the average score for this location makes sense. In comparison to other locations that have 3.5-4.5 stars. Save your money! Go elsewhere like across the street or at another location. I ordered a tiger sugar black tea latte, no boba, 50% sweet, oat milk, and easy ice with red bean--a drink I have ordered in the past at two other locations. This was a disappointment; it tasted like oat milk with a hint of tea and red beans at the bottom. Red beans, which by the way, were not cooked properly. I also think the tea is watered down. This drink was made at 1:35 pm for reference if any management may read this post.

    We called Sylmar location.

    We order 2 Thai Tea Tornado for the first time, a little hesitant about the crème brûlée cup lining. When we tried it, it did not taste good. I figured it was the crème brûlée, so we went back in to ask for different drinks. The cashier was kind and understanding but when she told the other employee, we heard her complain "BRUUHH". We didn't confront her for her attitude, but it was definitely rude. We noticed that she made another mistake and her reaction but even then, we were patient and understanding. We drove away right away so we didn't try the drinks until we arrived to our destination. TURNS OUT THE WEIRD TASTE IS SPOILED MILK!!!! We called Boba Time to let them know but no one answered. We called the one in Sylmar to see if we exchange our drinks, but again, no answer. We want a full refund and free drinks. This is not acceptable, appropriate, and a serious health hazard. Update: we received half a refund from the manager.

    The drinks were pretty good however the wait was not worth it. They don't have enough employees and they are very slow and backed up.

The Guatemalan is ok, you can pretty much find Guatemalan coffee anywhere in the Valley though. I haven't tried the sugary coffee drinks yet or the pastries, but I will have to at some point. The inside is cozy, good for grab -n-go. I'm sure once they get to expand to a bigger space, they will make it suitable for work or study. Service is great, smiles all around. Oh, and it's right next to Hansen Dam.

I came when it was not busy and got my drink in under two minutes. However, the person sitting next to me (with the cutest doggie! They're dog friendly, I think ) waited longer than 10 minutes for her drink. However, this was during a rush and when it was probably the busiest in the morning (?) AMBIANCE AND ENVIRONMENT: The music volume was pretty good. It was low level when the place got busy due to people chatting, machines, ice scooping etc., but when it wasn't so busy, the level was about medium due to the atmosphere being more quiet. The vibes were Mumford and sons, Oasis, Of Monsters and Men, the Head and the Heart, and some classical sprinkled here and there. It is smaller than a chain, but cozy with quite a few seats and table options. I think they did a great job at making the best of the space. The space also encourages community as half of the seating options are shared/shareable. All within an arms reach, which in my personal opinion, is plenty of space. Because of this, it encourages you to acknowledge your fellow human being sitting across, or beside you. The environment was clean, bright, and comfortable. The environment feedback I woukd give is perhaps a stronger sun shade in the windows that the bar and stools face. I first sat here but within minutes decide to move because the heat was a bit too much for me. Again! A personal preference. Coffee shops can also naturally get warm due to the energy being used for the machines and refrigerators, so something to consider. The air-conditioning kicked in a little later which helped make it more comfortable. Another thing I noticed is the outlet near the corner table and lounge chairs has a an outlet extender plugged into the wall outlet, but the wall outlet is extremely loose with no faceplate. This can cause electric shock, wiring damage and possible fires. I know from personal experience. It's a real easy and cheap fix that I highlyyy recommend they do ASAP. Just trying to be helpful because I really, really like this spot. FOOD AND DRINKS: I ordered a Hibiscus Berry Blend, as is, iced. It was $5.00 even. It is served in a14 Oz. cup. With ice, it's probably about 12-13 Oz. of drink you're getting. I think it was worth it. The flavor was equal and very nice. Not too fruity, not too watery. It wasn't sweet, due to me not asking for any additional sweetener. As I sat and worked, I heard a lot of other orders and some were very creative. So they do have all those fun drinks people love to indulge in occasionally. They also have classic drip coffee and loose leaf tea. THE REASON WHY I TRIED INICIO: The biggest thing I noticed, being an activist myself involved in many efforts for social justice through my work and personal life, was their mission to erase modern day slavery. Human trafficking is a horrible thing that unfortunately is haooening right before out very eyes. They donate a portion of all food, drink, and catering sales to Justice 180. That is honestly, the reason why I came. I would love to partner with them and invite them to come cater at my center. I plan to spread the word about this place and continue to support them.
