Byob A Boba Company - West Covina

It’s with a heavy heart that I rate this place 3 stars, especially since it has consistently earned 5 stars in the past. A friend of mine warned me that this place wasn’t good, and I found myself in quite a heated debate defending it because my last two visits were fantastic. Unfortunately, today’s experience seemed to support my friend's point of view. I typically order the green apple caramel drink with boba, and it’s always been outstanding—definitely a solid 10 stars. However, this time, it fell flat. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either; it was just okay. Perhaps it was a new staff member, or something else was going on, but I’m still open to giving it another try.

The staff was extremely friendly. As someone who is 7 months pregnant, I had a craving for boba, and they were very helpful in explaining each drink. The atmosphere inside was fantastic, and the drinks and sweet treats were delicious. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area! Food: 5/5

Kid-friendliness: This boba place is very family-oriented and welcoming to kids; everyone is always really nice. Just a heads up, the claw machines are quite difficult to win!

Got the Vietnamese coffee and it was strong and tasty. I really like the tall cups. A large drink after tax was about $8. Kind of high but I wanted the cup. Cool interior and cool grocery store in the plaza.The food looked/smelled good but we didn't order any. The popcorn chicken was about $9 an order and it appeared to be a snack-sized portion.

So glad I stumbled on this gem. The cashier was super friendly and helpful. She recommended what is now my favorite boba drink Oolong tea with wintermelon and boba. I actually tasted the brewed tea and it was delicious. I am going to find excuses to come out this way as often as I can. It's located in the Hong Kong Market, which looks like it is being remodeled and has a lot of new, great looking restaurants to try.
