This tea shop has great drinks and nice staff. They have a variety of unique and even healthy drink options. I had the peach guava drink and my friend got a milk latte. We both enjoyed our drinks while holiday shopping. Thanks Boba Loca ! read more

Been to this place several times after our workout. They have an extensive menu and decent quality. However in the afternoon they always have young kids working who are clueless on life. I've had to repeat the order several times and they still manage to get it wrong. Very frustrating how difficult it is to remember a few ingredients. read more

This place used to be my number one boba spot, until today. I've gotten the Taro for years from here and something just tasted different today. The boba was nice and soft which I liked but I just can't drink the drink. I feel like I wasted $12 because we're not enjoying the drinks at all. Staff was nice but I don't think I'll come back for the Taro. read more

We saw this sign offering free glass bottle. So, we placed the order on the web and even add tip. When we picked up the order, the manager said: "We haven't had glass bottles for months"! Drink is just ok. read more

This place has a huge menu, from boba drinks to pressed juices, smoothies, and acai bowls. The boba is always fresh and well-cooked. My dad likes it in the boba loca milk tea and my sister in the chocolate Oreo slush. I've tried their lavender milk tea and rose milk tea, but my go to remains the jasmine green tea (completely unsweetened) with sea salt foam. I also opt for aloe Vera instead of boba - it's a lightly sweet and crunchy alternative! The downside to this place is that the service is very slow. Even on days that are not extremely busy or there are a few employees on the clock, we have to wait an excessively long time to get our drinks. Last week, my dad ordered the boba loca milk tea with boba. He had to wait long enough for me to walk to froyolife, get dessert, come back, and then some even though the house blend is pre-prepared. The barista kindly apologized for the wait, she too obviously realizing that the service wasn't quite up to speed. We will keep coming back to Boba Loca because we are pleased with the quality of the boba and the beverages, but it would be nice to see an improvement in the preparation time. read more

Simplee Boba - Thai tea slush and frosty milk with honey boba and pudding - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Montrose, California

My sister-in-law is a boba fanatic. Everytime I go to any boba shop, I think of her. Just a little anedote. Anyways, why are these pearly little things so addicting?! It makes me drive 6 miles from my house to get a simple fix. I don't understand. Believe or not, this is the nearest boba place from where I live. How is that possible? I don't know. I've been to this place several times. I usually order almost the same thing when I visit: blended taro milk tea with boba. It hits the spot most of the time, but there are days when I think, "What did I just slurped?" Service is usually quick. I'm in and out within just a few minutes, but sometimes they run out of boba and you have to wait 25 minutes. I know they sell mostly boba drinks, but I wish they also serve some popcorn chicken. Oh well... no foul. They never mentioned anything like that anywhere on their menu. Sure! I'll send my sis-in-law for her boba fix here. It's not the best boba place I've ever tried, but this will do. read more

Amazing drinks! Can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. Matcha frapp was the best I've had!

Drinks here are great, all the bobas loading your mouth is sooooo orgasmic. Nothing better than a huge load up every fat straw. I love it,

I vowed I wouldn't go back to this place after they used spoiled milk in my drink and I ended up getting sick immediately after, but I decided to go back again thanks to this quarantine. Placed an order and went in to pick up and regretted it immediately. My Thai iced tea literally tasted like water with boba because they obviously didn't put any sweet condensed milk in it (which is how you're suppose to make it) and the taro milk tea literally just tasted like straight 2% milk with boba. I understand some places don't have all the ingredients due to our situations at the moment but if that is the case then don't make the drink and offer another option. I feel like they just half-ass making the drinks just to get people out of there. read more

I'm a frequent fan at the Boba Loca location in Burbank, I was excited to see that there was a location right next to my house! The location is kind of hidden to me, thank God for Yelp, or else I've actually really passed by this place millions of times and had never seen it. Parking is only available on the street or the free parking lot a block away, which is where I parked. The inside is completely different from the Boba Loca in Burbank. It's a more laid out venue, with many seating available, and they even sell macaroons! The menus are displayed on TVs, and the inside is clean. Only thing was the floors looked dirty, but I believe that's just the color.. The employees are super nice and quick with their service. There was nearly no one in the store when I walked in. I ordered ToGo from Eat24, being that I had many orders. Everything was ready and easy to take once I arrived there. Final results: Everything tastes a little TOO watery. Mine and my boyfriends Thai Tea was a slush, which came out more like it was just mixed with water and had ice cubes stuck into it. The boba was smaller than usual... On the acai bowls, I asked for extra strawberries and did not receive them. The bowl also lacked flavor, but I enjoyed it anyway. Overall, this place would not be my first choice, maybe their employees need more training on how to make the drinks. And for now I'd much rather drive to the burbank location. read more

Boba is always good but ive never in my life received a boba drink that wasn't topped off. For something i almost paid $5 for, i feel cheated that there was at least an inch and a half gap between the lid and the surface of my drink. Okie that is all. /rant read more

Simplee Boba - Can i get 25% of what i paid back? - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Montrose, California

I come here too often! At least once a week! Their boba is always fresh. Fun atmosphere with music, free wifi, and board games. There are a ton of flavor options: milk teas, slush, frappe, and even fresh squeezed juices! There is also a point system where you can earn free drinks. Parking is across the street in a big lot, or a few spaces on the street. read more

I got liquid gold based on the Yelp reviews. Initially I didn't like it, but it actually holds well the next day and tastes great! It is pricey so not sure if I'd come back lol. read more

If you want good boba, this is the place to go in the La Crescenta-Montrose area. I know, lots of boba spots now but this place has a great local feel, nice customer service, and a great drink variety! They literally have like 100 drinks and my favorite is the Jamaica Coconut milk tea with boba!! Soooo good after work to take the walk in the heat and grab one. Check it out, you won't regret it! read more

Do not order the Açaí bowl. No choices. Only fruit and granola. And the açaí mixture does not taste that great.

The tiger milk with brown sugar boba, is hands down the best I've ever tasted! My daughter attends an local art studio and now I can't seem to drive past there without grabbing myself this drink. Lol! read more

I only come here when I'm desperate for boba milk tea and don't feel like driving to my usual places to get boba. The flavor of their drinks are not consistent. Sometimes they are good, and sometimes they are bad. read more

I bought a taro milk tea and a strawberry matcha milk tea and they both were disgusting!!!!! The texture of the drinks felt like slime and dirt!! Idk what they did but milk tea is not suppose taste or feel like that. Will never come here again! read more

Simplee Boba - Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea - DISGUSTING TEXTURE!! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Montrose, California

Simplee the worst. I have been going here for years - even when it was Boba Loca and I always ordered the same drink. Black tea with milk. The last 3 times I have gone I saw a decline in the taste of the drink and I went yesterday and it was the last straw. The drink tasted so watered down. The tea tasted tasteless. The tea was warm and it melted all the ice and so I had a separate cup of ice just to get my drink cold. I will never go back. This place used to be good but I don't know what happened. Don't waste your time and money. read more

Simplee Boba - Watery tea - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Montrose, California

I used to really likes this place when it was boba loca, but now they are just really inconsistent, super slow, understaffed, and the drinks just aren't good. My milk tea was all creamer no tea, and you expect that when you pay $10 for fresh squeezed juice it doesn't taste like water and a hint of veggie flavor. Definitely won't be back after a few bad experiences. read more

This isn't the best boba place I've ever tried, but it's also never disappointed me! I usually stick to my thai tea with boba, but this time I decided to try the strawberry matcha and I'm so glad that I did. The flavor of the strawberry was perfectly sweet and not fake tasting at all. You couldn't taste the matcha as much, but I feel like that's expected from a chain. Like I said, I always get their thai tea and I love it. It might be a little too sweet sometimes, but still very refreshing. I've also tried their strawberry and banana smoothie with lychee and ohmy that was amazing too! I like this place because none of their flavors are overpowering but yet they still give you a solid boba option if you're in the area and looking for a drink. read more

Randomly stumbled upon this spot after dinner in Old Town Montrose. We wanted to hang out somewhere with wifi so we can get some work done. Lo and behold, whilst strolling through Old Town, we saw young college-aged people working here, some with laptops. I'm familiar with the Boba Loca logo/franchise though I haven't been to one in years. Upon entering, there was no hello or any sort of greeting. We had literally just walked in and glanced at the overwhelming menu all in LESS THAN THREE seconds, and this young guy asked us in a very impatient and tactless tone, 'READY TO ORDER?!' I was shocked. Boy, we hadn't even been here for one good minute. No hello, no welcome, nothing. Instead of using that tone and that phrase, might I suggest saying, 'Let me know when you're ready to order'? The whole thing was off-putting, to say the least. I hope the owner/manager would train their young workers better manners when it comes to customer service. I got a regular Thai Milk Tea with boba, upgraded to large with the Yelp check-in offer. The drink was good and tasted like your regular Thai Milk Tea at any other average boba spot. My bf got the Jasmine Milk Tea with pudding. This drink tasted bland and watered down. The interior itself was not the cleanest. The huge communal table had not been wiped, with visible trash still left on it. The two young employees did not bother to clean within the 2-3 hour duration we were there. Mind you, it wasn't even a busy night. They were rather too occupied vegging out on their phones when there were no drink orders to be made. read more

I love my neighborhood boba and juice joint! I get the hot jasmine milk tea with boba during the winter and the creamy jasmine tea with sea salt cream and boba during the summer with a few variations into rose milk tea, honey jasmine tea, and the juices. I don't drink coffee that regularly so the teas are really my caffeine fix and it's a treat. I get things half sweet because I don't want to get too dehydrated from what I drink. And of course I get the large size. I think, now, the store shop people can probably even recognize me because I am that consistent and frequent in what I order. I like what I like. There are places that will have more flavor variations, but I think Boba Loca delivers me these flavors the best throughout the year. read more

The boba is pretty decent. I tried their mocha frappe it was good. The customer service was good as well. They were really nice! read more

Service is very fast! The store is very clean and has different sitting areas. They have some board games and others such as Jenga! They always have a variety of juices and smoothies and iced drinks. I asked what their most popular drink is and they said any of the fresh smoothies or the chai latte drinks. The smoothies are extremely fresh tasting and the boba is very soft and fresh. Highly recommend it. I got the honeydew smoothies with boba and my sister got the strawberry smoothie with boba added. They were both very very good. I highly recommend this place! read more

We were in the neighborhood and decided to try this place out. I am not a huge boba tea drinker, but this is a good place because they offer it in many forms including milk shake. I ended up ordering the salted caramel milk tea. It was really delicious. Others ordered mango, water melon, and white chocolate-- I also liked the white chocolate. One thing I liked is that they had games you could play while drinking the tea. We played Jenga. It is worth checking out. read more

Simplee Boba - Friendly service! Fresh fruit what else can you ask ! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Montrose, California

Milk tea was excellent, one of the better I've had in this area. Boba had great consistency and service was fast.

I have gone to ALOT of juice shops. This menu has a delicious variety. The smoothies can satisfy the sweet and healthy cravings. The mint n chip smoothie was so good! I will never need another milkshake again. Seriously. The juices are great blends and soooo fresh! Pricing is very reasonable for a juicery. I love that they have a $4 flu shot and wheatgrass too. The girls working are friendly and delightful. (Don't forget to tip them) Sorry yogurt shop I'm stopping here now. Very impressed customer! Thank you! read more

Note: this review was of the Harvest Juice Co., which has since changed to Boba Loca. Gotta say I was not impressed. They only have 1 bench table for anyone to sit at - so unless your party arrives before anyone else, don't plan on staying to drink your juice. I'll include a photo of the menu - but "grande" sized drinks are $10!!! And I don't think there are any other sizes. Paying with a card, you're opted to tip when you sign the screen (Really? You can't just have an optional cash tipping jar like everyone else?). I awkwardly felt obligated to do the minimum of 15% which I wasn't real happy about on my first visit without being wowed by the service and having no idea if I was going to like their product, so our 2 drinks were well over $20. Ridiculous. I'm pretty sure the 2nd drink in my order was forgotten... they seemed disorganized behind the counter and 2 different people who ordered after me got their drinks first. They don't call out any names, and since there are very few menu items it's easy to steal someone else's drink who ordered the same thing before you. When I finally got my order after about 10-15 min, they couldn't find any more straws. The girl at the register kept pointing to a cabinet (almost like it was "beneath" her to look herself), and the girl making the drinks couldn't find them. Eventually they found some, and I was glad to be able to leave. My biggest complaint was that my friend and I didn't like our drinks. I got a Strawberry Fields and she got an Endless Summer. My Strawberry Fields drink had chunks of bee pollen in it - almost like gritty boba, and I got a headache right after drinking it. Sorry guys - I know you're new so I want to cut you some slack (I did give you 2 stars instead of 1), but it was not a good experience. I hope this honest feedback can help you to improve because a good juicery would be a welcomed addition to Montrose! read more

Simplee Boba - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Montrose, California

Should've stuck with the juice/smoothie option everyone else raved about. Went with the Taro slush with boba and left feeling crappy and almost $4 poorer. The taro slush itself was so watered down, I couldn't even taste the powder substance they used to make the "taro" slush. The water to powder ratio was wayyyyy off. The tapioca itself was really hard, beyond the chewy consistency. I could tell it was just sitting there for hours. I didn't even finish my drink, it was so disappointing. If this place was such a healthy juice joint, why not carry acai bowls??? The reason why I walked in here in the first place was to see if they had acai bowls. Unfortunately, they don't sell acai bowls. Nor do they sell tasty bobas. read more

I really like their juices, My review is based on the fact that they don't make juices after 5:00 p.m., just because because the juices machines get cleaned and can't be used anymore until the next day. read more

We are loyal patrons to our local business and we're excited to taste the boba with new franchise name... we got their top pick of 10 the young lady suggested and the boba was hard, chewy and not nearly as good as before...I suggest for customers to sample first ..a poor beginning with the new name. I hope this rating will bring improvement soon.. I will come back in a week or two and adjust our rate up or down .. read more

how does this place not have 5 stars? Prolly the best boba shop in the La Crescenta - Montrose area. They have a huge menu of drinks to choose from... all that I have tried have been very good. The great thing about this place is that they stay very consistent with the drinks.. My favorite drinks are the smoothies with boba and the house honey milk tea w boba! I have heard that the peach guava drink is a really good one, so that is on my list to try! The staff are so friendly and they are usually really fast at making the drinks, I've never had to wait too long. The only downside about this location is that the parking SUCKS. love this place, 5 stars!! read more

Wow! surprised how dirty and dusty the place was. I got extra grossed out when I saw the young man that worked there had oily hair. He proceeded to touch the cups to make drinks without gloves after he had scratched his dirty head . I paid $30 for three drinks that all tasted like pee. Sorry but I will never go back. read more

Went 7/30/21. Got 2 jasmine milk tea boba. 1 had about 10 boba and was watered down tea without any sugar. Asked for the 2nd one to be blended and they just blended it without any ice. Didn't notice until I left. Was speechless when I found out the blended jasmine milk tea was blended without any ice. Was the same watered down tea without any sugar and was warm because it had no ice. The level of incompetence is astounding. I'm totally speechless. If you are the owner of this place, you need to retrain your employees stat. Your current incompetent inexperienced employees are going to ruin your business. read more

I love this place. They're generous with their honey boba and the drink i had was perfectly made. The boba texture was perfect for my tasting. I like how they have two different drink sizes: regular and large. Cute interiors and lots of parking in the area I'd would recommended this place :) read more

Very Inconsistent. I've had maybe 2 well made drinks here, but every other time there's been something wrong. Especially with milk tea. My go to drink is a Milk Tea Slush, half sweetened. I don't know who taught some of these employees, but last I checked when someone asks for something "half sweet" you don't dunk 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream in the drink. Slush is not a milkshake. When I brought this up with the employee making it, she stated it's how they make slushes there. Yet, I've had that drink made there many times and they never put ice cream in it. I also had a case where I asked for the cheese cream tea and they gave me the espresso one. I am allergic to coffee and it made me extremely sick. It's a nice place but, PLEASE make your drinks more consistently. I don't want to spend 5 bucks on a drink not knowing if its going to be tea, or sugar overload. read more
