“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!“
“I've been into hot hot boba as of late and they have hot boba here so I made my way over. I had the L'moon hot Thai coffee which was a good blend of coffee and Thai tea. I have to come back and try their soft serve when it gets warmer.“
“This was the first time ordering from this location and it is actually pretty good. I got the Thai tea with brown sugar boba with the Ube Bubble Waffle and it was soft, chewy, and not overly sweet. I can't wait to bring my boyfriend and mom here to try it out. The drink was the perfect amount of sweetness, it was not headache inducing, and it wasn't bitter. The boba was soft and chewy as well.“
“This little cafe is absolutely a hidden gem. Found this place on accident on an outing but stayed because the food and hot drinks smelled amazing. The vibes here were serene, peaceful. The views were breathtaking and the service felt like I was at a family's house since they were very attentive. Super welcoming. The food was all reasonably priced and very filling. Already excited to return!“
“The Sweet secret is the best crepe in Glendale hands down. Reasonably priced and the service is great. I appreciate that they don't skimp on the strawberries and ice cream. They always have fun music playing and parking tends to be easy!“
“Bohemia is my go-to place for all things tea and coffee! Been coming here for years! The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff are super cool people and the tea menu is the most extensive I’ve ever seen. Everything I’ve tried here I’ve loved. Would definitely recommend checking it out!“
“Wow this place is amazing, all organic coffee and yummy fresh food all made in house! I visit many coffee shops, and the prices here are so fair considering its all organic too ! I am so surprised to see some reviews saying its expensive, if you have gone to other independent coffee shops they are priced the same , but the coffee in other places is not organic.Also there is Wifi and plenty of seating!!!“
“My first impression was the cleanliness and friendly staff. Secondly being my first time all my questions were met with great care to detail. And lastly the freshness and delicious food was phenomenal and priced very well. I am now a Kokoroll customer for life. Thank you! Ps. I only wish I’d found you sooner 😊 HIGHLY RECOMMEND AAA+“
“The reviews are not wrong. For a nice break from the Walk of Fame this place is perfect! Had a poke bowl and a green jasmine iced tea w/ mango and they were delicious and hit the spot! The host at the counter was nice too and the music is relaxing.“
“The best Poke I’ve ever had and the drinks served with were amazing! The staff are friendly and so sweet! I definitely recommend this spot, it’s cute and offers such a variety of options for drinks and the food options are all delicious!!“
“Cute cafe/boba shop in Old Town Pasadena! I ordered a jasmine milk tea with boba. They have all the different levels of customization, like ice and sugar levels, milk options, and toppings. My drink hit the spot and the boba was cooked perfectly to qq texture. Lots of seating, too:“
“I have been on the hunt for good/decent boba in Burbank. I think this place is it. They have tacos, croissant sandwiches, bowls, ice cream and boba drinks. The best part is that everyday from 5p-8p drinks are buy one get one half off. That is a deal!!I had the blended tiger milk tea and the blended Thai tea. Both were good. The tiger milk tea was creamy enough so I enjoyed that a lot. The Thai tea wasn't too bad either. I will be back to try their other drinks on the menu.“
“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.“
“Visited for the first time today and I was so impressed. Staff was hella nice. Drinks were delicious. Place was chill. I got the black sesame milk tea per staff rec. BOMB! Big thanks to him for being patient and introducing me to something new! Perhaps a new fav. Really appreciated the service and quality. We got 4 drinks for $21, which I felt was reasonable. Will def be back.“
“10/10, I would recommend! It is lovely and the atmosphere is very positive! The decors and the unique dish specials it offers illustrate Thai cuisines with some modern innovations. The lunch special is unforgettable with exquisite tates and a variety of side dishes that come with it. Take a chance to eat the lunch specials before 3pm. It is about 11 dollars for the choice with a tea. It brought back memorable childhood memories! Try it with friends and loved ones!“
“definitely need to come back to try the rest of their options (:the original pancakes have a light sweet taste (like a hush puppy), they also have an red bean pancake option but i’m a passionate red bean hater so i passed on that the strawberry milk frappe was a little bit on the tangier side as well as more on the watery side. i had expected it to be thicker consistency since frappes tend to be thicker liquid but i did get it with almond milk rather than the regular milk ? other than that, it was still consumablegreen grape snow top tasted like world peace ? ? ?it tasted like natural grape and not the artificial kind that you taste in juice or soda and was surprisingly not sour?i did prefer this one over the strawberry milk frappe ?it is a bit of a tiny shop so i don’t recommend going inside during packed hours (weekends) if you’re claustrophobic or just hate human interactionthe cashier was very sweet !my total was around $22Dietary restrictions: have different milk options for those who are weak like me and will explode if having lactose milk ?Parking: on fair oaks there’s a parking garage garage where the first two hours is only $1 (:“
“I love this place. Great customer service, atmosphere and selection of drinks when it comes to smoothies, boba, etc. Food selection is limited but not bad. It's great for either dining in or take out. I love coming from time to time and will continue coming back.“
“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!“
“The workers here are always so lovely and efficient! The drink are extremely well made and delicious, and the aesthetics and decoration are cute. I especially like the interactive sticky note wall. :3Kid-friendliness: Ive seen a lot of kids(high schoolers to elementary) go here, and the workers are always respectful. Theres nothing NSFW or worrisome about anything there!“
“A little cute boba pink spot in Hollywood for the boba fans. They have cute glass jars to purchase and it looks so cute on my drinks. Love it! These jars gonna go with me later.I ordered:1. Strawberry shortcake smoothie with chia seed2. Strawberry shortcake milk tea with white jelly3. Original milk tea with aloe vera4. Peach white milk tea“
“The menu is fairly large for a boba spot (a bunch of food options!), so I was hopeful when coming in. However, I only ordered drinks - the galaxy & the Cambodian red lime. Just a disclaimer - I think someone would like these drinks but it's not for me. That being said, I think these are well crafted & made. The galaxy was the better of the 2. To me, it tasted quite medicinal at first because it had an artificial cherry flavor but it mellows out once you keep drinking. The Cambodian red lime had nutmeg (or cinnamon?) in it which I wasn't expecting in a tea drink. It was good, just not for me. I think this place is pretty good if you're in the area! I like that they're taking risks & making flavors that you can't find anywhere else. Their flavors are quite niche but I know someone will definitely find their signature drink here. I would come back to try something new!“
“The drinks aren't consistent. The milk teas are subpar, but the fruit teas are usually well made. This isn't my favorite Boba spot, but it since it's close to work, it gets the job done. I forgot the name, but the fruit tea with chia seeds is by far my favorite!“
“There are so many Asian tea places in SGV so most end up tasting the same or having the same menu. But I really like Catea for its cat theme and their unique drinks! It feels unique because we decided to try their mochi series which I haven't seen before and it was so good! Ube mochi is my favorite but they have seasonal ones too. Their avomango drink is also very good with bits of mango in an avocado smoothie. The Pasadena location is nice without a wait so I always go there compared to the San Gabriel one.“
“I didn’t really like the crème brûlée drinks but the staff was very chill and friendly. They also had a lot of fun activities around the store. The crème brûlée drink is like drinking a cup of heavy cream in a bad way, there was no brûlée pudding texture. The coconut taro drink was a bit “
“Service was a bit slow but it was quite crowded when I came. Tried the Oreo drink and the limited edition Kafka blueberry cooler. Oreo drink was too sweet even at 75% sweetness, the blueberry cooler was much tastier. They were out of big straws so it was significantly more difficult to drink the boba and jelly. All the collaboration goodies with honkai star rail were great! We got a poster, drink holder, and sticker along with a redeem code with our drinks!Has a digital order station that works well and is easy to navigate. A bit difficult to find parking so I recommend trying to find parking nearby and walking there!“
“Update: I have been coming back over and over again. I have filled up their stamp cards multiple times. My go-to order is the Blue Honey milk tea with egg pudding instead of boba pearls. I love how they have seasonal flavors. It's always fun to try their drinks.“

“We got ourselves some tea after eating pho next door and my go to is the grapefruit green tea and love their new maple story collaboration with the cute cups, though I never played that game in middle school. Love how quick the service was.“
“I've ordered here both in person and through Uber Eats, and it always comes fresh! The last time i came, there was a bit of a backup because so many were trying to order their delicious food! The lady kindly apologized to me and was so sweet! Love to support local cuisine ❤️“
“The food here is good. It is small. There is no room to dine in. I saw only 2 tables inside. Good place to quickly buy and take out. The amount of food you are served in one plate can be divided into 2 plates for 2 people. I got full eating just half of the meal. I appreciate the service.“

“Much needed boba spot. Solid flavors not many unique flavors but what they do have is really tasty. Service is what sets this place apart from the other fancy boba spots. They are always so nice and accommodate requests and answer questioned“
“Boba Zzing has become my new favorite boba spot in Los Angeles!I decided to give Boba Zzing a try because their drinks looked very appetizing and tasty in photos, and I am pleased to say that they ARE!The compact but bright, airy interior has a couple tables and a counter for ordering, with most of their milk teas and smoothies being between $6-8. I found these to be very reasonable prices compared to similar boba spots in LA, especially for the size and quality!After ordering, our drinks were ready in no time.The Strawberry Smoothie was fruity, thick, and delicious.The Strawberry Creamy Milk was my favorite, and was rich in flavor and so silky smooth. Yum!I am more than pleased, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great boba milk tea or smoothie spot in LA!“
“The staff is super fast. During the time I was waiting for my order, I saw 15 to 20 drinks coming out in pickup. There is a wide variety of drinks and I tried flavors I didn't know. I took a dessert for later and at the place I consumed the specialty with cheesecake sauce.“
“Drove by this place a lot while we went shopping at Good Fortune Market across street. My husband is a big fan of pan fried buns so we decided to check it out. Before came here, I looked at their menu and it had extensive and authentic flavors for dumplings and pies. That’s how I knew they were legit!!We came on a rainy Saturday around 11:30am there were only two other tables. I feel on a nice day it would be busier.For food we got:- pork scallion pie (5/5). Wowwwww a must try!! It was so juicy and flavorful. The outside is perfectly crispy. This is our favorite and we definitely will try other flavors next time.- pan fried chicken mushroom dumplings (5/5). I love the dumpling skin as you can taste the slightly chew and that’s how you know it’s handmade!- cucumber salad (5/5). Very refreshing and balance out the richness of all the fried dumplings.- pan fried bun (4/5). This is probably my least favorite although it’s still pretty good. It doesn’t have much juice as I thought it would like the pie. So I’ll stick with the pies next time.No fuss service. You order via QR code and food comes out around 10-15 minutes. They have a sign to explain the 15 min wait due to all handmade to order which is well worth it!! This has become our new go-to for weekend brunch.“
“A solid boba spot with more than just boba on the menu.I had their brown sugar boba blast with red bean. It was delicious and a filling dessert, the flavor was excellent and the boba was delicious. Overall it was a great drink.I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items including their food offerings.“
“Let's start with the service extremely helpful and very fast. You can choose to use the kiosk to or order at the register. Personally I usually walk away with the "build your own" adding an extra egg and green onions. Though no matter what you go for I'm sure you will love it.“
“Tie Guan Yin with boba 8.5/10Passion Fruit Slush with lychee bites 6.5/10White Peach Tea with lychee bites 6.5/10 Passion Fruit Slush was pretty sweet. It tasted more like mango. I wish it had more passion fruit. White peach tea was strong. However, there was not much peach flavor. Tie Guan Yin was strong. I like how there was a strong aroma of tea. It had the perfect sweetness. The sea salt creamer on top was perfect. The staff is friendly and helpful.“
“I have been here a few times and I love their coffee and the variety of drinks they have! I went over the weekend and got their seasonal sweet and salty peanut butter latte and it is the BEST latte I have ever had!! I hope they make it a permanent drink on their menu because it is so good and I'll be sad if they get rid of it. I also love the ambience of the shop. This is my favorite coffee/tea shop in Pasadena, hands down!“
“This is one of my go to boba spots in LA county! The oriental beauty milk tea is hands down the best here. It has a deep tea flavor, but it isn't too overwhelming. It's a unique flavor that I haven't had anywhere else, which is why I keep coming back. I get it with less sugar and it tastes just as good (though my friends prefer normal sugar to less for this drink). It is on the pricey side--about $7 for a regular size and no boba, but nowadays boba is usually this price. The jug is around $20 something or maybe around $30, but it's definitely a good deal if you're planning to have friends over.It's street parking and there's nowhere to sit inside.“
“I got the zha jiang mian (spicy noodles) to go and they blew my mind. Insanely delicious. I have an average palate for spicy food and the default spice level was plenty spicy for me. I've been here for tea before but haven't tried the food until now. I'll be coming back for more noodles.“
“I’m often in old town at night, and this is one of the few dessert/drink shops still open. The location is well-lit and clean, with a few seats inside. Mostly a grab and go place, but you never feel like you’re in a rush here. No public restroom. Staff is polite and efficient. Drinks are prepared fairly quickly and prices are decent for the quality you get. Street parking gets hard to find but it’s very close to the schoolhouse garage at $1 for 2 hours. Swing by for a sweet treat!“
“I went there on a sunday evening with a friend. There was ample parking. It wasn't crowded. We ordered a Dirty Latte and a Red Bean Teaser. The latte has a bit of sugar in it to my surprise. But it was good. The place has a lot of seats.“
“Cute place. Lovely staff. Neat atmosphere. When you walk in through the humble entryway, you're immediately greeted by a welcoming smile and a hello. We were asked if we wanted to dine or order takeout. Dining in offers you seating options up the stairs into the the room you can see to through the open wall at it's floor level. I found it quite enjoyable being able to see into the room above. Very cool style. You order, then you eat. You pay at the end. My friends and I were treated well and wished a happy holiday. So thoughtful!If you're looking for something new, try here!“
