    Taro boba with egg pudding
    Sofia P.

    The taro boba slushy is my favorite! First time here and it was delicious! The service was good and they were busy when I went. The ambiance is casual and chill. There are places for you to sit and enjoy your drinks. Definitely will come back when I'm in town.

    Nice environment, even better boba! Tiger sugar milk tea was really tasty. Perfect sweetness and the boba was soft

    I love this boba spot so much. They decorated for Christmas and looks so festive! It's very easy to order, you can use the kiosk or talk to the cashier. I love sweets so being able to customize my drink is a must! I had a craving for boba, pudding, and ice cream so I was able to put it all in one drink! I got the tiger milk with light boba, pudding, and ice cream. It's my new favorite drink when I'm craving a cold dessert.

    There is a kiosk for easy ordering but there is also a cashier there if you prefer to order with someone. There is so many options is a little overwhelming. I went with the strawberry matcha with boba! The cashier made recommendations, which I appreciated. My drinks were made quickly despite it being busy.I would definitely come here again to try something else.

    Jasmine Milk Tea
    Jazmine R.

    We had a hearty meal at a restaurant nearby and were stuffed but I can always make room for bubble tea! It's gotten a little interesting with the variation of quality in different It's Boba time locations since their continued expansion over the years. THIS location is great ! It is clean and the staff are friendly, fast and efficient. I normally ask for light boba (they missed this part) but overall my jasmine milk tea was delicious!

    I love coming here because they have a wide selection of drinks. My favorite is the pistachio milk tea with milk foam and boba. They have a large selection of desserts as well some some savory dishes. If you are going to be ordering, I recommended ordering from the app and go to pick up. Either way, the staff are very quick in getting the drinks out.

    Came back for some more Coffee Milk Tea (Duet) and other drinks. I had a mobile order and think it's great they leave them in their fridge/freezer till we pick up! I was worried the smoothies were going to be melted by the time I got there. Thank yall!

No matter what I order whether it's a frappe, matcha, milk tea, slushes, or even their unique and delicious creations the service is SO FAST. When it's not too busy I have ordered a Thai Milk Tea and before I decided where I wanted to sit my order was being called up. Whenever I see Mont or Bella working I know I'm going to have any question of mine answer so sweetly and my order prepared so quickly. Recently they've made great renovations to the establishment. The sitting area outside has these cute chairs and is well shaded and makes for a relaxing spot to study and talk to friends. Their music plays classic hits from the 2000s that gives such a nostalgic vibe to the entire place and I return weekly if I ever need a place to focus on my studies and online classes. I have tried every lemonade at Boba Indeed and it has been such a refreshing order during this hot L.A. Summer. My favorite creation is the Up All Night as it's their espresso frappe topped with whip cream, chocolate chips, and coffee jelly that really settles my coffee cravings. You have to try their Small Bites! The mozzarella sticks are my go to. They're made fresh to order and the cheese pull I get from the first bite is extremely satisfying and delicious with their ranch.

The girl at the cashier was helpful, but seemed like she might've been having an off night. Either way, I do appreciate her help. They have a ton of self serve, ready to pour flavors and smoothies, which is honestly really cool. They also offer sample cups so you can try before you commit, big win. On top of that, the toppings and add ins are self serve too, which makes the whole experience fun and customizable. The flavors were actually really good. I noticed they also serve food, so I might try that next time. But I'll definitely be back for the self-serve options alone.

I had this spot on my bookmarks for years, so I am glad to finally be able to stop by here. The process was a bit confusing when I first walked in, as there were no employees at the front counter - 2 of them were busy in the back cooking, eating, and talking and the other one was focused on making more boba and the trash, I guess. I did a walkthrough to look at everything, then I came back to the front counter and noticed the signages on the side wall about purchasing a cup first, then adding toppings and filling up your drink, then coming back to the front counter to get your drink sealed by an employee. I waited in line patiently, as the employees were all in the back doing various things, and the guy who was bringing out the boba and changing the trash finally came out. I noted that he was wearing the same gloves he did while taking out the trash and started to ring customers in front of me up and help seal finished boba cups wearing those same dirty gloves. I was disgusted, but since I drove a long way for this spot, I decided to stay, as he is only touching the outside of the cup anyway, and I will just wipe it down later. Anyway, I bought a cup and filled it with some ice, my favorite milk tea - jasmine milk tea, and boba. I do wished that they had a couple other toppings I liked though. I was ready to have my drink sealed and waited patiently for the employee to seal it. Overall, it was a good concept they have going on and it is one of those one time experiences at least for me, but they have to work on their cleanliness because there were 2 employees in the back cooking food for customers while eating themselves while cooking in front of it and the other employee wearing the same gloves doing everything, even when changing / touching the trash.

There are their top 10 recommendations which makes it easier for a first timer to pick a drink. Employees are still happy to answer questions. Love that you can adjust the sweetness and ice level on all drinks, even the Yakult ones. They came out quickly. Very well balanced drinks with bold flavors. One of the better top tier boba tea spots. Their milk teas don't use real milk which is not uncommon in Taiwan. Lactose intolerance - IYKYK. Not a negative thing, just an FYI. Solid experience.

Unfortunately, this location was a completely different experience. Drinks were also not consistent. The sweetness level was INSANELY sweet. I normally get light sweet and my partner gets normal sweetness. His drink was much sweeter than normal, whereas my drink tasted like a normal sweetness level. The service was disappointing from the start. The staff came across as a bit rude, and I was surprised watching how the drinks were being prepared. It wasn't busy at all. There were only two parties in the shop. I watched the barista start making my drink by pouring the tea, but instead of finishing it with the milk foam, she set it aside and began making the "easier" drinks for the party that ordered after me. They ended up receiving their entire order before my drink was even finished despite ordering after me. I understand trying to improve efficiency during a rush, but when there are only a couple of customers, it's frustrating to see orders completed out of sequence without any explanation. It definitely left a bad impression, especially since I've always had such positive experiences at other Wushiland locations.

My best friend and I used to sneak away from church with the money our parents gave us for offerings and come buy bagels instead. Looking back, that's probably not our finest moment, but it was definitely one of our traditions!It made me happy to see that Happy Bagel & Donuts is still around and thriving after all these years. I was sitting there enjoying a freshly baked chocolate croissant that was made just for me after I ordered it, when I overheard the people next to me talking about how they had driven all the way from Orange County just to get donuts from this place. That story alone made me smile.I was only there for about 20 minutes, and the place stayed packed the entire time. Part of me wanted to think it was because of that offering money I gave them all those years ago--just kidding! The chocolate croissant was absolutely delicious, and there are plenty of other items on the menu that I'd love to try. I'll definitely be back... hopefully on a day that isn't Saturday. God knows I'm not perfect.Five stars!
