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.
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.
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.
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 !
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 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!
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!
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.
Came in at 7pm on a Wednesday. There were a lot of people. -Regular Tiger Sugar Milk. No Boba. Tiramisu Foam. $5.00. Tasty. Liked the tiramisu foam. 4/5 -Large Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie With Boba $6.75. Not enough strawberry flavor. 3.5/5 -Milk Foam Roasted Oolong Tea. No Boba. Egg Pudding. $5.50. Lacked that pop of flavor that sea salt foam typically gives me from other places. Liked the oolong tea and egg pudding though. 3.75/5 This boba spot was decent. It was the closest one to where we were at. It was priced perfectly for the drinks. Note: checking in gave us 1 free topping for 1 drink
This Boba Time location gets buys. The place is often busy, with people ordering online and walking in. No eating inside only take out. So many things to eat and drink, it was hard ordering just one item. We all settled for something different. We ordered the Dragon Fruit Bowl, which was delicious, The original Acai Bowl was good, the Fruit Mango, and the Strawberry Shave Ice were tasty. So many options, whatever your craving is, I'm sure they have it. They make your order fast. read more
Cool and refreshing treat from my friend. This is walking distance from Wilson Park. Parking is ample and service can be by the counter or kiosk. I ordered for the galaxy drink which was enticing to the eyes but not for my taste. Refreshing but maybe I would have enjoyed matcha better. Lots to order so next time I will try something else. Maybe the star will bump up. read more
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. read more

Shout out to main man Samad for being the absolute best boba barista! I came in here a couple times before and really wanted to try something new because I usually just stick to the classics and he recommended the new Thai Tea Orea and boy was it FIRE!!!! I love Thai Tea so combining it with Oreo was really next level! He took my order and the drink came in a flash. Definitely coming here again whenever I get the chance! read more

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 . read more
I absolutely love boba!!! The service here is pretty quick. You place your order on the kiosk and pay & pop your order is ready. Very convenient and easy to order. As far as the ambiance it's your typical cafe' place. No sitting inside or tables to enjoy your drink. Just grab & go items. read more

We were looking for a close by boba place and this place popped up. It seemed pretty busy already, but we didn't wait long to place our orders. I got jasmine tea with boba and popping mango boba. Excellent and refreshing! Mango paired really well with the tea. My friends got: strawberry matcha bubble tea, Thai tea, and taro. Delicious! The only complaint I had was that you couldn't choose sweetness levels and the ice seemed a bit too large. We didn't wait too long for our order. Maybe about 5 minutes? Otherwise, it's a great location and I'm glad I got to try it! read more

After my negative experience, I was contacted by management to rectify the issue I had with my drink on my last visit. They refunded me for my drink, and mailed me 2 free boba passes, which was much appreciated. I went to both the Gardena & Torrance locations for a cookies and cream shake with boba, and they were both good. Would've liked more Oreos, but other than that I was pleased. Thank you It's Boba Time for taking my experience seriously. Great customer service. read more

I agree with some of the reviewers here, this place deserves more love than what I currently see on Yelp. This branch is located in a decent location, very close to Wilson park, so always appears busy. Parking is not an issue and there are plenty of shops around including a Starbucks. The menu is the standard Boba time menu, however their standard menu has several options as you would know by now if you have been visiting boba time. The service is quick and the taste and quality of the boba teas they make are pretty good. My daughter felt like the one she had has less sweetness even though we didn't ask for reducing the sweetness level, we went and asked them and they happily replaced it. As I said before there is always decent crowd in this place, but you can place the order and wait outside, they have speaker outside the shop and you would know when its your turn to pick it up. read more

We ordered regular size Rose Matcha Milk Tea and Jasmine Milk Tea with standard sugar level (100%). Rose Matcha Milk Tea: I did feel the floral scent and that was nice. But the matcha flavor was not much, if anything at all. Tasted bland even with 100% sugar. Jasmine Milk Tea: It had a VERY light scent of jasmine, almost flavorless even with standard sugar level (I recommended Jasmine Milk Tea in SoCal Wings Carson). read more

It's Boba Time - where the boba is hot and the drinks are even hotter! I tried their mango drink and it hit. I'm always on the lookout for a good mango smoothie and this one hit the spot. Plus, the large size option is a major plus for those who can never get enough. The parking lot is a dream come true - easily accessible and right off the main street. I highly recommend this cool little boba spot, it's definitely worth the boba-venture. read more

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?
