    It's Boba Time is in the same plaza as my LO's dance studio and we always end up parking in front of it and we're always seeing toms of people going in. My LO has been asking me to take her there and today I finally decided to check it out. I was able to download the app and get a 20% discount for my first order. I ordered online and the drinks were ready when we were there. You need to tell them your order number because they store your competed drinks in the refrigerator and won't know you're there unless you tell them. Again the place was busy and the girls working there looked busy. My LO is in a cookies and cream phase so she got the small cookies and cream shake with boba. She did enjoy it. 100% sweet. I got the Dubai chocolate drink and it's only offered in the large size. I enjoyed it though the pistachio bits was a bit too much for me. The chocolate bars were super sweet. I am glad I ordered it but not too sure I would order again. 100% sweet. We ordered the peach mango slush got my mom. Low sweetness. It was good and refreshing Seems like for the drinks we ordered you could only pick two levels of sweetness which is different from other places. I think I would be returning in the summer when it's hot since we'll be in the area. I'm not sure I would drive out of my way to come here though.

    My sister and I were wanting boba after an errand and It's Boba Time was close in proximity. Located in a strip mall on the Northeast corner of Crenshaw and Sepulveda. Plenty of parking on a Sunday late afternoon. There is a kiosk to place your order, however, my sister had a question, so we waited for someone to come greet us. Menu was extensive and was a bit overwhelming since this was my first time here. We both ordered the Galaxy iced tea. It was tasty, but a little too sweet. I would come back and try some of their other offerings.

    I LOVE the new trendy combinations you can get in Boba Time. Today I ordered the Matcha Einspänner which is basically a matcha latte with oat milk and topped with whip cream which took me straight to heaven. Delicious combination, loved the creamy taste that just melts in your mouth. Perfectly sweet to my taste. It seemed like the drink had more cream than matcha, but still LOVED it. I just wished there were more sizing options for this specific boba. Atmosphere is chill, would be nice to see more seating areas. Service was great, drinks came so quick. Maybe because of the cafe is less crowded. Thank you Boba Time for the amazing experiance of trying the Matcha Einspänner for the first time. Would love to try more of your drinks.

    The good: It is always time for boba! tried the Thai tea Oreo drink. They had açaí bowls, crepe cakes, macarons, and smoothies. They had a self-order kiosk. Our drink was made super quickly. They had a standing bar height counter area. I was able to adjust the sweetness and ice on my drink. The drink had an Oreo cream smear inside the cup and then was filled with the drink. I got a hazelnut and chocolate macaron (2 different flavors) for over $2 each. The most interesting flavored macaron they had was peppermint. They have a lot of non-caffeinated drink options as well. The bad: There was no indoor nor outdoor seating. The interesting: They're a franchise. They have gift cards online. The interior had vaulted ceilings and an industrial feel (brick wall, metal lamps, and cement floors). They had cute banana and strawberry book ends in there for decor without books in between.

    Helloooo reviews (: this is my local home location ! They have a kiosk now which is really nice when & if there's even a line, but that's usually during their busy hours. It's a fast vibe there, good music while waiting. Staff is super friendly & helpful, they had mistaken my drink and gave me a different one, i politely let them know and they kindly fixed it and made me the correct drink I ordered with no attitude or push back which is SO great ! What I order: my go to is always the Thai Milk Tea w/Boba , my kids love to get the smoothies and always switch it up and are never dissatisfied! TODAY I tried a drink from their NEW ITEMS MENU, I ordered a Banana Coffee w/boba..... it's is now MY NEW FAV!! It was very, very delicious. They garnish was cinnamon & banana chips. I thought it was just great !

    My toddler loves boba time. He's been asking for strawberry yogurt smoothie since he was 18 months old

    We've been going to this boba time since it's opened and we love it. The drinks are always good and service is pretty fast unless it's super busy. There's times when we waited 20 mins for our drinks especially during summer break, but most times they're fast. I always get the same drinks. The iced green tea with foam, black tea with foam, iced green tea or the iced black tea. Once in a while I'll get the green or black with lychee jelly. Don't do no sugar unless you like your tea really bitter! My kids love the cookies and cream milkshake or fruit smoothies. There's no where to sit so we take it to go and drink it in the car or at home. And it's a plus that there's a JJ bakery next door if you feel like having dessert with your tea or coffee

    GodAuntie called and asked where me and her sister (my Mom) were. "Running errands." I'm guessing she was bored since she said she wanted to join us in whatever errands we were doing. We weren't too far so I swooped her up and bounced. Then I had this sudden urge for boba! So I dragged them here. (They really didn't have a choice, I was behind the wheel!) Boy, this place is popular. It was packed and knew there was gonna be a wait. No biggie, we had time. Got on the kiosk and per the sisters' request, one each of Thai iced tea with boba. I was gonna go for my usual wintermelon tea, but discovered the matchata (matcha green tea and horchata!) Went for that with boba. Verdict: we all loved it. And it was refreshing during a semi-warm SoCal afternoon. And that combo matcha/horchata mix? Yum! DRINKS: 5. SERVICE: 3. Not a lot of human interaction given the kiosk. VALUE: 3. Average at best. For the cost, the cups are smaller in comparison to other boba places. PARKING: Shared with others. Wasn't an issue when we came through on a mid-afternoon Saturday. OVERALL: 3.75. Good first run. Glad if the find/discovery. Would stop by again should I be around the area for that matchata!

    hair in pumpkin match iced milk tea

    HAIR IN DRINK & NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE! Terrible experience my girlfriend and I have always gone to this location for our boba; so we went today and upon arriving, there was no greeting and a bunch of younger employees just on their phones. we just went ahead and used the kiosk since it looked like no one wanted to work. we placed our order. my girlfriend got a seasonal drink, Pumpkin Matcha Milk Tea and I got an iced coffee. We got our drinks and headed home. About halfway through her drink she found a hair . We tried calling the store and nothing; straight to voicemail! Unnacceptable! Will not be going back anytime soon and advize others to be cautious!

    Coffee milk tea with boba and custard
    Tony F.

    I got a large coffee milk tea with boba and custard. The tea was fine, loved the custard but the boba was a little too chewy for me and I had to really slow down and take a few more bytes than normal, this is probably better for my digestion anyway, ha ha. I was a little pleasantly surprised that even though I forgot to ask for less sweet, it wasn't too sweet like other places. I used to order the fruit shaved ice a lot, it's a great dessert drink with combination of fresh fruits such as mango, kiwi, strawberry, etc, plus flavored shaved ice and varieties of boba. I haven't been getting since weather hasn't been that warm. I'm glad the weather is finally getting warmer and I'm looking forward having them again!

    Passion fruit tea yummy
    Patrick S.

    Stopped in here for a quick tea I really like the options they had on the menu. The staff is really friendly. This location was clean and nicely lit with good menu items in viewable.. I ordered the Hawaiian green tea, which is a passionfruit pineapple mix. It was really good.. I would definitely come back and order this drink again or try some of the other items they had on the menu.

    OREO Matcha Milk Tea

    Ordered an Oreo matcha with boba, for some reason they put Ice when it's supposed to be a fluffy/smoothie texture (atleast from another location I've tried; it was a 10/10) The taste on my drink was like strong matcha (not the worst) but my boyfriend ordered a strawberry Thai tea and it mainly had all ice or half ice lol he finished it within 2 minutes . It's Boba Time in Gardena is my go to . Also why is the boba smaller the past like 2 months .

    How much is the Lychee Milk Tea and the Mango slush and add in lychee?

    I believe their menu with is online.

    Can you order and pay over the phone?

    Hi Kathleen, Due to high demands with orders & traffic we currently cannot take any phone orders because our orders get backed up unfortunately while trying to avoid any… 

    Are the milk teas dairy free?

    We use a non-dairy creamer for the milk teas. It is "non-dairy." However it contains a form of whey as a milk derivative. You can substitute soy, oat or almond milk, however, some of the powder flavors for the milk teas still contain a form dairy.

    Hello do guys do catering?

    Hello. We do not do catering unfortunately. We only do school fundraisers. But with Covid-19 we had to postpone them. But currently we are doing uber deliverys and walk ins. If it's something special I suggest you can walk in and ask for the store… 

    Can I bring my own reusable cup? And also, are there any non-dairy milk substitute/options like almond milk or soy milk for the milk tea?

    Can you pre-order over the phone and pick up order?

    Do you guys accept Apple Pay?

    Yes

    Do they accept Amex?

    Of course. We accept all major credit card. Thank you.

Plenty of parking on a Saturday afternoon. The young employees welcomed us in. There are a few kiosks to place your order but since it was our first time, we chose to order with the gal at the front counter. I got the medium sized Sucane Delight. The base is acai, dragon fruit and mango. The fruits are banana, strawberry, and mango. Toppings are strawberry vanilla granola, coconut, sunflower seeds, and sliced almonds. The drizzle is agave honey and almond butter. Holds up to its namesake. Indeed delightful! Hubby chose the Acai Sunrise. It has a acai base with banana, strawberry, blueberry, and kiwi as the fruits. Toppings are pumpkin flaxseed granola, coconut, and almond slices. Drizzle is agave honey. Another delightful bowl! He also got the Go-Go green sugar cane drink with aloe vera. I tasted it and it was so good and refreshing! The service was kind and polite. The shop has cute decor and upbeat music playing. Would definitely come back for another bowl! 4 stars.

She then told me that it was something the owner was going to implement. That left me wondering why it's being advertised if it's not actually available. It doesn't make sense to display menu items that customers can't order. The only reason I tried this place was because I saw a glowing review on TikTok and wanted to give it a chance. Unfortunately, my first impression was far from what I expected, and I don't plan on returning.
