“This was one of the two places i visited on new year's and by far the better of the two restaurants!So happy with their lu rou fan!!! Realmy brings me back to taiwan. The other dishes: dumplings, tantan noodles were on par with what I've eaten in Taipei and Tainan, and dare I say better. The only difference being the price, nearly 10x, but that's the reality of living in LA.My friends were happy as well, and it was a great way to introduce some of them to my culture as well. Thank you Pine and Crane!“
“It was my first going, and the ambience was nice and the service was AMAZING. The worker was super helpful and helped my sister and I choose a drink, I went with the lavender bloom latte (iced) and it was phenomenal, the cold foam was really good and the lavender flavor was delicious, not perfumey or soapy like other places lavender drinks. I will definitely be returning soon.“
“As a Taiwanese person who grew up in boba land, I can tell you that the boba milk tea is pretty good. It's more towards milky end instead of rich tea flavor ones. Their original recipe is not too sweet so there's no point to adjust the sweetness. Or just ask the owner to make his favorite ratio. You should totally give it a try. (I cannot endorse other items as I just tried one product)“
“Good, strong, sweet milk teas. They have taiyaki and coin bread with different fillings (just like the taiyaki). Both the Sound and jasmine milk teas were strong, and the boba were plentiful. Service was pleasant and quick.Parking: Small strip mall parking lot.“
“I randomly stopped by this boba tea shop and I'm so glad I did because their drinks are so good. I ordered the Mango Sunshine and Orange Cloud and they are both equally so good and refreshing. The Mango Sunshine is creamy and has the tang from the mango with chewy mango jelly while the Orange Cloud tastes like an orange creamsicle!“
“a nice, refreshing place to get your ice tea fix! chun yang is located in a small plaza with a parking lot. i came on a thursday afternoon and there weren't many spots available. there is street parking nearby if you can't get a spot in the plaza. i got the honey osmanthus oolong tea, their #1 popular drink. i appreciated the server, who was very knowledgeable about the drinks and their sweetness levels. i got my drink at 50% sweetness, and it was still super sweet, so 25% is probably best if you don't like your drink tasting like sugar syrup. the tea, however, was the best part since it was strong and refreshing! this is a small shop, so don't expect any tables to hang out in here. there is a bench to sit and wait for your order, but that's all for seating. there is a public restroom for customers. overall, great place for a refreshing and strong tea drink. the quality of the tea was great, and it is perfect for a hot day.“
“What a delightful bakery and coffee shop! I stumbled upon this gem looking around Chinatown for some boba. Their drinks are on the steeper side but they are so good!! Even the cups are cute. I saved my cup after the boba cause the quality of it is so well made that I have to use it again. For 2 milk tea bobas it was $11.They specialize in custom cakes and had a few on display that were mind blowing. The Hello Kitty goth cake was next level.You can find baked treats, custards, mini cakes, and snow ice here ☺️?There’s some seating inside and along the window a few tables and chairs. It’s a delightful spot to look out and gaze at busy Chinatown.Parking is available along the streets in metered spots.Everyone working there was super nice and the service was fast despite the line.“
“If the review was solely about drinks, then I'd give it a 5 star. The ambiance is nice and relaxing. However, the parking lot in the back gets pretty dark after 5:30. However, please fix your kiosk system. There was a service fee on top of 10.25% tax for ordering the drinks yourself on the machine. Do better. Don't treat your loyal customers like garbage. It was extremely disappointing when I had to get told by your staff that they won't be able to refund the drinks.I was never taxed when I order directly from your cashier... and I had to pay a service fee for ordering myself. I was extremely disappointed.“
“ICI is my favorite fruit tea place in SGV! Their persimmon slushy is my fav! Sadly, it is a seasonal drink. The worker said it should be coming back toward the yearend. Their coconut mango drink is also good and a must-try. 10/10 recommend.“
“Besteas Boba is pretty good, and they often have good deals. They have a large selection of options. Just be aware that many flavors can taste very artificial, so if you’re not into that it may not be the spot for you! The owners are very nice!“
“It’s been years since i last stopped by before I moved to Chicago. Can’t leave without having my boba. I grew up in the K-Town District. You don’t always have a chance to come back home to visit.Kid-friendliness: You can get your kid ice cream, Oreo boba.“
“Decent spot for drinks but the boba pearls can be hit or miss. I usually go for their Hawaiian fruit tea w/o the actual boba pearls, and it is very refreshing and I would highly recommend. However I tried a brown sugar milk tea with boba & the boba in my drink was super hard / chewy - not very enjoyable & tasted undercooked. Hopefully it's just an odd batch! Overall solid spot and I like coming here when I don't feel like venturing far for boba.“
“Came across this hidden gem while driving down from the valley! Great quality and flavored drinks and one of the best Matcha latte with brûlée and oreos. An absolute game-changer! They use ceremonial grade matcha straight from Japan. The earthy matcha flavor combined with their cream brûlée made it an unforgettable experience.Not to mention their service and attentiveness is top-notch.“
“Shout out to the guy who delivered my drink to my car! It was super packed so I decided to wait for my drink in the car. When my drink was finished one of the workers came to my car to hand me my drink. I thought that was super nice and he went above and beyond. Also the cups are super adorable!“
“The power of Yelp! Bobaful is right in the lobby sharing a long counter with Starbucks in the Monterey Park Marriott Courtyard. And that lobby? It's huge and perfect for hanging out with your boba; lots of sofas, comfy chairs, counters and even booths with TVs. I understand they validate parking, but I think it's easier to park across the street (Atlantic Times Square shopping plaza with the AMC Theatre and 24 Hour Fitness -- huge free parking lot below). Under our governor's "Freedom to Walk" act, jaywalking was decriminalized for 2023, so go for it! Bobaful was a busy media darling, long lines at 626 Night Market, but you'll love this brick-and-mortar location. No waiting, super friendly staff, and $3-4 cheaper than other boba places. Sometimes they have a 2-for-1 and the boba really gets flowing. I'm a green tea guy and it's awesome (try the Dragonfruit). The milk teas also get raves and the cup is so nice, you will hate to toss it. Congrats Bobaful. Your shop is a hit!“
“The food was delicious. We ordered 2 chicken tender combos with Buffalo sweet potato fries and chocalte curly fries. They were so good and the chicken was so crunchy! I also got a blueberry lemonade which was also good. It didn't have blueberry chunks but did have lemon wedges.“
“I used to frequent Bambu growing up and all the ones in my area closed. I saw this spot next to the restaurant I was having dinner at and knew I was going to be getting dessert from here. If I just hadn't had a pasta dinner, I would have ordered a Chewy Pandan but I knew that would be too filling so I opted for the Jelly Coco. The Jelly Coco is coconut water based instead of coconut milk so it's more refreshing and lighter. It fruits (coconut, lychee, longan) and fun pandan and basil seed bits. I enjoyed my drink and would definitely be returning to try the Chewy Pandan. Service was quick! We were there arounf 30 minutes before closing and although there were a few people who ordered ahead of us, we still got our drinks fairly quick. The inside has very few seating so I would'nt hangout there for too long.“
“"QQ's tea tastes so good." It's true that all the long names from Taiwan are imported, but fortunately they are all written normally in English??—⚠️You can’t taste it on site at this restaurant. Make no mistake.Ah, I suggest that it would be better to number the menu??️?Mi Ke Xia is coming soon “
“I really wanted to like this place more, but unfortunately there were a few things that brought them down to 4 stars. First thing first, the drinks. I like to get the regular milk tea from these places to really assess their quality and taste. If you can get the basics right, you're a step ahead! So, got their Brown Sugar milk tea with boba and it was okay. Nothing spectacular. I want to give them another try because they have some very interesting flavors and options in their menu such as the Hokkaido creamer milk substitute and the Oreo series blended drinks. I give them props for their ingredients as you can watch them make the drinks right in front of you and they made everything fresh to order, no premixed teas or powders. Their decor and theme is quirky and fun. You can tell they put an effort to make the place catch your attention and everything looked clean and organized. Prices are reasonable and within the market value for this type of stuff. The ding for me was the limited seating inside and the smell. It's not nasty like "I need to get the H-E-double-hockey-sticks outta here!" type of smell, but definitely a bit off. I tried to come back and try another drink when I was waiting for my tacos from the other place next to them, but that smell threw me off again. A little ding for not having any snacks at all. Not even like cookies or prepackaged Japanese treats or something. Anyway, that's my take on this place.“
“I waited five years to try this place once I had heard that Wong Fu opened it, and the wait was worth it. The Taiwanese spicy chicken sandwich blew my mind and my spirit, and the quality of the tapioca was amazing. I don’t even live here, but I will be coming back soon.“
“Decided to treat myself to a milk tea after a run and looked up local boba shops in the area and came across Moo Tea. I got a regular milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice and it was good! The tea flavor was definitely present but not as strong as other places in the area. If you're a bit more sensitive towards sweetness in your drinks, I would stick with 25% as I found the 50% to be a bit too sweet for me. I came at around 4 PM on a Sunday and the store was empty so the service was undeniably quick. There's a kiosk to order from so you can take your time and look through the menu. Overall, a good experience and would come back!“
“A cute little boba shop right by Pershing square. I ordered the Hong Kong milk tea with boba, a quarter sweet. The drink is caffeinated, so beware. I would have gotten it half sweet because I personally don’t like my boba drinks overpoweringly sweet. The drink was delicious overall and will definitely be coming back to try their other drinks on the menu.“
“Love this place ! Small and the drinks are very good! My daughter wanted boba, so I Googled and read the reviews and came. I'm happy I did because this will now be our boba spot,I ordered oreo boba, strawberry and banana smoothie, and a mocha smoothie ?. My hubby bought me a cute crocheted ?as you can see very adorable.“
“Love the atmosphere and theme of this place. I went with friends and we love it. The drinks were good and the frozen treat was good. We went at a later time around 9ish and there was one worker throughout our stay. He was wonderful and hardworking because there was good amount of people that came to dine in and take-out.“
“Came here for the hype and it was pleasant and enjoyable but nothing to really rave aboutThe server was really nice and accommodating when we were deciding on what drinks and add ons to orderWe ordered a couple of the classic milk teas and again, I'd come back here if I was in the neighborhood but wouldn't go too far out of my wayMapo Tots: Maybe get?It's a fun loaded tots idea but the two flavors don't really go hand in handFood/Drinks: 6/10Service: 8/10Atmosphere: 6/10Value: 6/10“
“I love coming to Tea Leaf! The staff are amazing. The drinks are always so tasty and the service was excellent. The tables were nice and clean. The ambiance is so chill, you can come here to study or read a book and you won't be interrupted.“
“I loveee this tea place! It is tea forward, and has so many options. I try something new each time I am here. The toppings have great texture. My favorite combo so far is the golden phoenix oolong with oat milk, osthmanthus jelly, and lavender cream foam. It has been on my list since last year and so happy I finally was able to try it this year, so much that I've been 3 times and it is only March , LOL. Parking is covered lot, so yay it's easy. If you love tea sweets, come give them a try, I know I'll be back!“
“I am so sad that I never got to taste the tea. I Ordered a whole bunch of different drinks for work for delivery and they never made it to the location. The driver apparently couldn't find the clinic I was working at??!! Anyways, the pictures looked great, the ordering system was easy but maybe next time I'll go in person!“
“My kids and I love the variety of beverages here and the quality is always great. The decor and atmosphere is welcoming also and a nice trip we treat ourselves to sometimes. No matter how different a drink we want, the staff is always accommodating. I love the taro milk tea, and sometimes I add lavender tea - It's delish!“
“Pretty solid boba spot. Got myself a Hokkaido milk tea and I wish I got a large! It was milky and creamy. My bestie got the lavender milk tea and didn't like it. Sadly I didn't either. I might need to try other drinks.Very minimal contact with the workers since you get to order off an touchscreen.“
“We went today for their Grand Opening. The restaurant is clean. The Owner (Carmela), the one who got our order(Bianca), and all the staff are friendly. We got Baked bangus, Beef ribs, Tuna Belly, and Liempo. All tastes delicious. Bibingkinitan is very good, its still moist even when you reheat it on the microwave. Don't forget to get WOWTAHO! Tastes exactly like philippines. The Best Taho in SOCAL.“
“Right in the same plaza where Jollibee and BopoMofo the place which can get busy but you’ll get parking none the less!What we got:? Hokkaido Milk ice cream with strawberries and biscoff dust- perfectly creamy not too sweet but definitely delectable! Choose up to 2 toppings! Thai Milk Tea with brûlée and boba- don’t be shy to be extra! Oreo Cookie Milk Tea with Boba- of course the automatic kids favorite! Sour Strawberry Jasmine with Lychee Jelly- balanced sweet and tart Fruit Tea amazing with the lychee jelly Mango Milk with crystal boba- takes me back to my childhood, the mango they use is familiarly the same as we had in the Philippines (the best kind!) Red and Purple Latte- our new favorite! Red bean and purple rice is one 7 Miles showcased childhood drink and we are obsessed!“
“Reliably fresh and high quality donuts. Excellent service whether going in to get a single donut or placing a large order for an event. The blueberry yeast donut is the single best donut that I have eaten. Donuts are always fresh and delicious.“
“Cafe Pruvia is one of the most underrated spots in the South Bay for boba. They definitely perfected the milk teas! Although I'm not a big milk tea guy, their drinks are quite impressive. Strawberry milk tea with black tea is so refreshing but also satisfies that milk crave. If you are looking for a fruit tea, I recommend the peach green tea as it is nice and tart. They also have amazing service and are very welcoming. Not to mention, it is a perfect place to study or work, as it is always packed with college students studying on their computers. I will say, the boba pearls can be inconsistent. Some days I would go and the boba will be really small while other days they will be just right. That's their only flaw. Other than that, I highly recommend cafe pruvia if you want quality teas!“
“This place is definitely worth the drive to Lincoln Heights. The food is reasonably priced, well seasoned, and nice portions. I've had the tofu bowl more times than I care to admit. Highly recommend. There is indoor and outdoor sitting available.“
“Was randomly craving donuts and this spot showed up on my google search with a high rating, definitely did not disappoint. They have soooo many options to choose from when it comes down to drinks and food (sandwiches, boba, fresh squeezed juices…) and if you’re feeling lucky, they also have lottery tickets and scratchers. Bought half a dozen donuts which were delicious and 2 drinks. I really enjoyed my green tea lemonade and the raspberry one was also good. The customer service was great. The gentleman who served us our drinks was so nice and welcoming with a great smile. Will definitely be going back.“
“Okay, this place is legit. I read a few reviews, and thought I would try it since it was a couple blocks from my hotel. I tried a tuna salad sandwich, and it literally was as good as I've ever had. Glad I stopped by. (I ate my sandwich too fast to photograph it...)“
“After bowling a couple games, I decided to stop in Cal Bowl Coffee Shop for a bite to eat. Went with something simple and healthy. A salad with the works. After placing my order (I was the only customer) I started wondering what was taking so long. Grab the salad out of the fridge and serve. Much to my surprise, the guy made the salad there on the spot. Fresh ingredients, including bacon, turkey, cheese, crisp fresh veggies and slices of egg! No pre-made salad sitting for days ... made there on the spot, and wow! Excellent. Seems everything is pretty much made this way. Definitely worth a short wait because the food and flavor is rewarding. AND my order was just a salad. LoL. Will be back to sample some of the special doughnuts and a cooked meal. Don't let the 'cafe' fool you, this is quality dinning.“
“This place was very affordable. 2 drinks, hot wings, bread sticks and my favorite was the shrimp egg rolls The food and drinks were great. Restaurants and restroom very clean. Arely was very polite!Jennee Reviews all businessesCustomer service is number 1Thank you Dining Tea ☕“
“One day Lollicup will reopen the customer table area. This company has great products, which is why they are one of the biggest suppliers for other milk tea businesses. It's not a surprise that Lollicup has a great consumer focused store/products.Excellent drinks, pudding, and boba.Great service.Clean interior.I wish they would open up the dine-in area again :(“
“Omg R&B Tea was so delish!! I had the brown sugar milk drink and it was everything I was craving! Definitely give it a try. My brother got a peach black tea with aloe Vera and he thought that one was good too! Not very expensive in comparison to other boba shops! Customer service was great! Upbeat, modern shop with seating!“
“Now it became a shop of BOBA GRANDE under the new management. They are so kind and friendly. The shop is very clean and all equipment looked new. Taro boba which was my all time favorite, was so good and rich flavor in it. And I tried two Taiyaki, I've seen a lot on K-dramas :) it became my recommended bread of this store. I tried sausage, and pizza Taiyaki. You can actually see the whole process of cooking it. I Love this shop :)Parking: The shopping mall has enough parking space.Kid-friendliness: They provide kid friendly items, hat, bag, etc., that can be exchanged as numbers of my spending in the past (I am not 100% sure but this was what I herad).“
“Hands down my favorite boba place, absolutely ecstatic i no longer have to go to Downey for it. So many flavors, so many toppings, so many options beyond just boba.Their specialty drinks are so tasty and cute– definitely make your friends feel the FOMO when you post a Traffic Light (three flavors and colors in ? ?layers.Also they're doing something no other boba place I've seen do: reusable boba cups with boba straws. When i went they said they weren't for sale YET so maybe sometime soon...Also they went all out for Halloween decor, which was so cute and fun.“
“Another good find when it comes to tea places.Fast and friendly service.The ambience is great to go sit down and relax for a bit, especially after walking around and shopping at the Rosemead plaza.Nothing negative to say . It’s nice that they have a claw machine to play at while waiting for your tea.I got a jasmine tea with aloe, no sugar. Love that it tastes like actual brewed tea.Parking: Small spaces“
“Service was fast, we went there during rush hour and still got our drinks within 10 mins. It was a big order too. I like the self order kiosk too, makes thing fast. In terms of the drinks, they're good. Not too much ice or sweetness, just the right amount.“
“Norwalk was in desprate need of local boba shop. This Boba Time location is amazing. Ive tried so many different drinks and they've all been delicious. Even thier coffee drinks are really good Staff is always very nice and willing to answer any questions. 10/10 will be coming back for more.“
“I feel like I don’t choose drinks that taste good and it’s not the shops fault. Lol. I like to be random but it doesn’t work out for me. However, my bf is really good at picking drinks and his always taste delicious. They have many flavors to choose from!“
“Believe me, four stars is really good praise for this area. There are not a lot of Boba places near USC and to be quite honest, because I'm from San Gabriel Valley, I wasn't expecting a lot from this place. I was pleasantly surprised that the tea quality was pretty good and I got the standard milk tea at 25% sweet.“
“I've been coming here for my tea fix since they first opened years ago. It's a great spot to study/work or hang out w/ friends. I used to come here often to study or catch up w/ friends. The music isn't too loud and most of the customers are usually studying/working, so it's not extremely noisy. I've never had any issues here regarding their service. They've all been friendly, so no complaints. I have tried a variety of drinks from here and they're not bad. I think they're just ok. I personally like coming here because their drinks are usually consistent when it comes down to the taste. It really depends on who makes it though. You know what they say, consistency is key, lol. Inflation is real! Drinks here typically cost between 6-7$. There's been a 2$ increase from when they first opened until now. Boba is just getting pricier & pricier w/ time. Sad, lol. They take cash/card/Apple Pay! As for parking, there's a shared parking lot among the plaza and street parking.“
“Food here is very good and for this price range it's made to order and better then panda express. Highly recommended if your stopping by this area and looking for some Chinese food. Kids for to it before I can even take photo's.“
