    The Ice Bar, Northridge
    Eric P.

    The Ice Bar got a February promo on all matcha drinks! Just an fyi. This time I ordered a Viet coffee however with sea salt foam and 50% sweetness. I tried using the self serve kiosk. You choose a percentage for tip though, instead of entering it manually. Not a fan of that. Unless I may have missed something? Aside from that the drink was good!

    The Ice Bar is my perfect escape from the business & chaos of Northridge. Located in a strip mall with lots of parking, The Ice Bar is the best place to go hang with friends, grab a refreshing drink or bunker down to study for hours on end. I've done all 3 of the aforementioned things on many occasions. I keep it simple & always order the Plain Fresh Green tea, it always comes out ice cold & consistently tastes great. There's a self serve kiosk if you don't feel like ordering with an employee but the employees always seem happy to help & answer any questions I have. They offer a handful of snacks & a pro tip: their ranch is DELICIOUS! I truly love The Ice Bar & I'm so so so happy to have it here in Northridge.

    Stopped by The Ice Bar to pick up our favorite Iced Seasalt Foam Viet Coffee, Iced Coconut Coffee and Strawberry Milk Tea. As always, The Ice Bar never disappoints. Thank you to Heather for the consistent excellent customer care and service along with the quality coffee drinks.

    I had the best experience here, heather was so helpful and nice. The ambiance is very cool, lots of seating and I love that there is a touchscreen order screen for fast and easy ordering. I tried the strawberry milk tea which was amazing! If you like how milk tea tastes you'll love this as much as I did. It's a true milk tea flavor with a hint of strawberry. 10/10! I also had the chicken popcorn which was perfectly cooked, perfectly crispy, crunchy, and golden. I had it with ranch on the side. 10/10! Lastly, I had the strawberry dalgona with the matcha foam. The BEST drink I've ever had, truly. The whipped dalgona with strawberry flavoring was so good alone but with the thick matcha foam on top, it was even better. It tasted like true rich matcha flavoring and it's delicious. I will be coming back for this drink alone. I'm exited to try more drinks on the menu and to try the other food items as well. Thanks for having me! See you soon :)

    Jasmine Rose Tea good

    Came here with a friend after having sushi in town. I had the jasmine milk and it was really good. This Boba place was a minute or two from another really busy Boba place that my husband and I have been to before and their drinks were OK. At this Boba place, we were able to talk as it wasn't super loud and they had plenty of space to sit. you can order on the screen, and ready in a few minutes. I would definitely return to this place again.

    A place introduced to me late night after my son's PCN. Good boba and impressive mural homage to Kobe and LA. Overall clean and polite staff. A cool spot in Northridge!!

    On August 14th at 11:30 PM, we were hoping to enjoy some boba and decided to visit Ice Bar, as they were open until midnight. We ordered an oolong milk tea, a sea salt jasmine tea, and a taro milk tea. Unfortunately, the oolong milk tea seemed rather diluted, and the sea salt jasmine tea was over beyond salty. We didn't get the chance to try the taro the same day because we assumed it is going to be horrible. When we got the chance it was diluted as well. So, I called to complain and talked to the manager. She said the sea salt is supposed to be salty. Since we didn't drink the taro that night, we can't get a refund or exchange because tea sets?????? I never had this issue at Ice Bar. Sadly it did!

    This is Carl
    Pangli N.

    On September 1st, I had an extremely troubling experience at this location with the manager on duty, Carl. When I arrived, no staff were at the front counter, and because the restroom requires a code, I went through an unlocked side door to ask for assistance. As soon as I politely asked for the restroom code, Carl immediately became hostile, yelling and telling me to "get the fu#k out", effectively kicking me out without any valid reason. I explained that I had already placed an order and asked about my refund. Instead of addressing my concerns professionally, he again said, "Don't come at me like that, bro," in a rude and threatening tone. He refused to provide a receipt and only said that my refund would be credited back to my card in three days. Carl's conduct was aggressive, vulgar, and completely unacceptable, especially for someone in a managerial position. His behavior created a hostile and intimidating environment for me as a customer, for no legitimate reason. Being kicked out for politely asking for assistance is not only unprofessional but also reflects very poorly on the business. I strongly urge Ice Bar management to take immediate action and seriously consider terminating Carl's employment. Staff who behave in this way are damaging the reputation of your business and putting customers at risk of being treated aggressively or unfairly. For reference, I have included a picture of Carl at the bottom.

    Visiting the college kids, getting the college Milktea and Popcorn chicken vibes.

    Very much a college area location. They offer different discounts with specific criteria periodically, but offers can't be combined. If you're a student or have a student, take advantage of that discount. I had their Taro Milk Tea and it was quite good, perfectly sweet. I also enjoyed their Popcorn Chicken, seasoned well, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Portions are pretty good too. There are several booths to eat at but they can get taken up pretty quickly depending on the time of day. The service was helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, at the time that we went, they were playing very loud heavy metal music and it was driving me crazy. I know I'm getting up there in age, but I feel like any normal person would just want moderate volume and maybe more a neutral sounding music? LOL! Anyway, enjoyed the food, but that part sticks out in my mind.

    They have a kiosk to order now. no employees come out to even help the line or take orders on the side. They call out a drink order and run back into the kitchen. I recommend to order your drink half sweet, they make it super sweet here!!

    my friend loves this place so we went after dinner. I had it once and didn't think much of it but thought I should give it another chance since she was saying good things about it it's located next to a baskin robbins and the parking lot is a bit small, but I don't think people stay there too long so finding a parking spot was easy we ordered on a self-serve kiosk inside and there were lots of options to choose from! I ended up getting the milk foam jasmine green tea and it was actually really good! the foam made the drink creamier and it had a nice balance. the tea flavor wasnt too strong but it was still a good drink overall! we didn't interact with the worker too much aside from picking up our drinks but I think that happens when you order by yourself. overall, pretty solid boba spot in the area and I'm glad my friend suggested this place!

    Smoothie drink and teas
    Virginia A.

    They haven't changed! Perhaps their art work inside but the services remain the same! And that's a good thing I can't remember the last time I was here!! I'm glad I stopped by after so long. This time I had a side of mozzarella sticks (5) and two dipping sauces ranch and mango habanero!! Oh my goodness the mango habanero is FIREEEEE is so yummy!! Almost made me want to try their chicken wings with this sauce! For drinking choice I had their taro milk tea! Delicious Ambiance is always a vibe! They play hip and trending music

It's a son and pops owned coffee shop, and the owners were both incredibly sweet and friendly, which made the experience even better! My coffee was absolutely delicious! I ordered an iced mocha with almond milk, and my guest ordered a strawberry refresher with lavender WOW! It was so flavorful and refreshing. We both ordered the BLT with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and an over-medium egg, and it was seriously one of the best BLTs I've had in a long time. The flavors were perfect! It was served with chipotle mayo, which was the perfect dipping sauce, along with fresh fruit and a side salad. Even the salad was delicious the vinaigrette was soooo good! I really loved the atmosphere here. The music was calming, the space was comfortable, and it's the kind of place where you can actually lounge and enjoy yourself instead of feeling rushed. I immediately thought this would be the PERFECT place to bring my book club! It would also be a great spot to get some work done, read a book, meet up with friends, or just sit back with a good cup of coffee and relax. They also host Open Mic Night on Friday evenings from 6-8 PM, which I thought was such a fun touch! On other days, they're typically open until 7 PM, which is really convenient for a coffee shop. They offer indoor seating, the food was VERY affordable, service was quick, and parking was super easy with tons of spaces available in the plaza. Another cute detail is that they sell merchandise from outside vendors, which I loved! It gives the shop even more personality and makes it feel connected to the community. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed everything about this place the coffee, food, service, atmosphere, and prices. Barclays Coffee & Tea is such a cozy little gem, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming place to eat, drink coffee, work, read, or simply relax. I'll definitely be back!

It's probably the ONLY halo-halo I can actually finish because it's not overwhelmingly sweet.

Both their regular Halo-Halo and Upside Down Halo-Halo are SO GOOD! I also love their calamansi drinks and Cali-Mango Slush. So refreshing and delicious! The atmosphere is another reason I keep coming back. They even have a cute little mini library with books, which I love! There are always people studying or just hanging out, and it has such a nice, relaxed coffee shop vibe. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the service is consistently good.

You can either order with the staff or order through the kiosk on the right side. You have an option to type on the text box if you need to change the milk to oat milk, for example. I always ask for just in case they do have oat milk so if you have any special requests, depending on how busy it is, might be better to talk to someone to order!!! The Tiger Tea was really delicious and was a good amount of sweet. The Mermaid drink was a fav from my group. I really liked the Milo and the Ube Milk teas. They were pretty quick with the orders so it's not too crowded inside of people waiting. It's very cozy inside and there's warm lighting and some books too for people to read.
