The main reason I’m giving this place such a low rating and I hate to do it because it’s a cute spot and the tea is good is that their boba for stay in is in single use plastic. I will never understand why so many boba places insist on using single use plastic when they don’t have to. Efficiency aside, it’s 2024 and having so much waste for 1 drink is shocking. The cups are thick plastic, which sure you can take home, but how many more tumblers do we all need?

One of my favorite dessert spots in pasadena. I've tried their boba drinks and they too are good but the my guilty pleasure is the bubble puff pastries. Red bean with bananas. Ice cream and whip cream. Yum! It's always about a 10 minute wait because they make it fresh, it's always warm and crispy on the outside. Soft and fluffy on the inside. Almost like a pancake with all the goodies baked in the inside. The ice cream and whip is served on the side to keep it from melting. This one's a must try if you're in the area. Super casual spot.

I arrived first thing in the morning, so I had to wait a bit for the boba to be ready, fresh boba isn't a bad thing! How to order was a little confusing, you use a big screen to order and then they make it. The lady working was nice and let me know the boba would take 10 minutes and she was spot on for timing. The boba was good and it was price alongside most other boba places. There are a ton of tables for seating and it was a cute place. Would be back if I was in the area.

This spot is always a go-to when i'm in the area (>ڡ<) I love their red bean rock which Is basically like a red bean smoothie. The place is right next to the City College so it's a perfect spot to hang out at in between classes. Everytime I go in there's always just one or two workers though which I know can be hard especially on busy days, despite that they are still very sweet and friendly! You should definitely check this spot out :3

Finally found an authentic tasting HK egg waffle boba shop with great tea. So good! The bubble puff waffle has perfect texture and mochi inside is so "q" and chewy. My favorite is the matcha puff with any ice cream on the side, a must try combo. But really, can't go wrong with any of the flavors. They have a self service kiosk that makes it convenient to order. The staff was there to answer any questions and special requests. Overall super friendly. Drinks came out before the waffle so I sipped on it while we waited for the fresh puff. There was ample space for seating and great ambiance. May just come and try their food combos next time. Definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Definitely my fav boba shop in Pasadena! The smoothies and matcha drinks are buzzing and they've got really nice staff. If you're craving for something sweet, don't hesitate to try their bubble puff, you'll never regret for that.

I absolutely loved the mango tango I got today (50% sweetness). of course the original bubble puff with pork sung is my favorite but the original bubble puff with mochi has to be a close second!! the service here is unmatched and there's not a better egg waffle/boba place in the SGV in my opinion

Original Bubble Puff with cream cheese and pork sung is my favorite. I tried their messy brown sugar boba today and it's pretty good! You can adjust the sweetness level of your drinks which is a plus.My favorite drink here is the Peach Oolong Tea with Cheese Foam (MUST TRY)

Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was not so busy. I ordered Passion Fruit Tea which was delicious. Their snacks are delicious - popcorn chicken, fried tofu, and egg waffles are so good!! The store has plenty of seats too. Recommended for anyone looking for a tea spot!Parking: There's a parking lot behind the store to provide free parking for customers.
