The boba is consistently soft and warm without making the drink soggy. They offer the most options in your drink and will upgrade to the obscenely large size ($.95 value) if you check-in on FaceBook

This location IS across a high school, which can be rowdy, but this location has the lowest drive thru traffic compared to the other locations in the valley. It is moderately easy enough to find parking and walk in though, which I strongly recommend.

Food scene
This place delivers, and for very cheap if you call the restaurant directly (818-718-7000) rather than order online through Yelp (Yelp adds $5). Best value for your dollar here, whether delivered or eaten at the restaurant. Parking is awkward at the restaurant though.

Sightseeing
If you arrive here 30 minutes before sunrise, you can experience a moderately challenging climb to the top of a fat rock and look down on the valley. Lots of graffiti, but not necessarily a bad thing. Watch out for critters as you trek

Shopping
Pretty large mall that boasts a diverse food court. My wife likes taking our infant daughters here to play in the play area. Target is pretty large and well stocked.
