Watery tasteless matcha latte for $7, exchanged for a winter melon lemonade that's too sweet. This place is NOT IT. Do not recommend.

My all time favorite boba place. Passionfuit greentea with almond jelly is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. So is their taro tea latte. They have the best pudding and almind jelly

Yi Fang's fruit tea has always been my favorite. It's so good and refreshing, perfect drink after a meal. Service is quick and friendly. Highly recommended!

This was my first time trying this boba spot! I personally am a fan of places that let me order through a kiosk and this lets you. They have plenty of drinks to choose from and I went with a classic oolong milk tea. Their oolong milk tea was delicious and I'm sure I'll be back again. They were quick with bringing the drinks out. Unfortunately there's no seating here, so most people are in and out once they receive their drinks.

My love of tea happened years ago in Taiwan. Yifang brings me straight back to that moment! Every visit warms my heart and sends my taste buds to Taiwan!For me Yifang is the standard for all teas and bobas and the bar is set so high. They use fresh fruit, organic sugar cane and all natural ingredients. You can tell from the flavors that your drink does NOT come from a flavored powder. I usually visit their Irvine location but I was in San Gabriel so I stopped in. It is a small store, like the Irvine location. You can order from the kiosks or from the employee at the front. The service is very pleasant and helpful. While they are not the fastest, because they are not mixing powders, the couple more minutes is well worth the wait!This place was booming and everyone was more than happy as they walked away with their order. I say if you are near a Yifang location give them a go! They may be where your bar is set too!

Ordered 4 drinks via Uber Eats so service and ambiance are not applicable. We got the following drinks:-Green Plum Tea (bogo $6.49 ea): at 50% ice and 30% sweet, it tasted very sour as of there was no sugar in it. Couldn't tell anything special about it. 3/5-Red Bean Sago Latte ($7): basically milk with red beans and sago as toppings. Very underwhelming and not worth this price. 2/5-Crystal Mango Latte ($7.50): also just milk but with mango pieces and crystal jelly at the bottom. It essentially tastes like mango milk. 3/5The cups feel pretty cheap but the seal was pretty. For the price, these drinks are mediocre, at least the three I tried were. The fruit tea I got last time was better than any of these.

My highschooler wanted some boba, so I scrolled through Yelp to let her choose which Boba places in town to go to and she chose this one. It is located in the same plaza as Lu's Garden. They have 2 kiosks right in front of the cash register for you to select and place your order. On the drink selections, we were also allowed choices for the percentage of sweetness/ice level that we wanted, which was cool.Oh I ordered sugar cane with passion fruit. I was surprised that they had sugarcane.My drink cost $7.50 for a regular.The staff was nice and attentive.The place is clean and it's not too rowdy as customers just mainly came for to-go. I give it 4 stars because my drink was good, but wasn't a wow factor.

Came here for something sweet after having dinner next door at Lu's Garden. It's a small shop with 2 kiosks to order from. Kiosk is easy to use and drinks are made fairly quickly. I tried the wintermelon lemonade with aiyu jelly and a lemon green tea with aiyu jelly (can you tell it's my fav topping?!). Both drinks were tasty but I think lemon green tea is the winner as it's more refreshing. Knocked down a star because on both nights I went, there was a woman sitting right outside of the store chanting pretty loudly. Not sure there's anything the workers could do directly but something for management to watch for because it is a little uncomfortable.

location & parking: free parking lot shared with other businesses! food / drinks: drinks have a great tea flavor & are pretty solid for what they are. not mt favorite tea place, but not bad. prices range from $4.75-$7! on the pricer end :(service: came on a weeknight and it wasnt too busy. staff are nice and helpful. vibes: the ambiance is cozy, the place is pretty small and only has 1 bench for indoor seating. overall: 4/5 star a but pricy for mediocre tea

Not bad! YiFang was my favorite boba spot when I was living in SF but the YiFang in Arcadia was a huge miss for me. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried the San Gabriel location that their drinks are really good! We ordered at the kiosk. My friend got a hot wintermelon tea and I got a peach fruit tea with no ice, 50% sweet. With no ice, they still filled the cup to the brim which is so appreciated after my experience at dingleberries. 50% sweet was the perfect amount of sweetness for me where I felt like the tea and fruit flavors really stood out. They include chunks of peaches and other fruit and there's a variety of customization you could apply to your order. There's a small parking lot with free parking, there's also plenty of free street parking nearby. Each drink is about $6. There's no indoor seating, just some benches for waiting. No restrooms for customers and ordering is via the machines.

The first time I visited a YiFang Fruit Tea shop was in Pasadena a few weeks ago. I didn't think I would encounter another YiFang so soon again. Well, I did, but this time it was in San Gabriel. I drive on Valley Blvd almost every weekend and I have never noticed this YiFang until this past weekend. It was meant for me to find it LOL.It is located in the Valley Plaza. Parking is limited since the plaza is kind of small. This YiFang is a cute little shop. They have two kiosks available for ordering.... this seems to be the trend nowadays. It was easy to order and pay. We got our receipt with our number on it. My daughter and I just waited to be called. Luckily, they weren't too busy so the wait wasn't too long. We got the Lychee Green Tea with crystal boba and lychee jelly (medium size). It was more of a small than a medium IMHO. Yeah, we'll go for the large next time. Drink was very fruity, crystal boba was crunchy the way I like it, and lychee jelly is lychee jelly LOL. Overall, it was good. Price was average, but the size was a tad disappointing. We didn't have much encounter with the staff besides them calling our number and us getting our drink. We'll be back for their other drinks now that I know they are here in San Gabriel. Happy Fruit Tea'ing!

First time I went, I got the peach fruit tea with no sugar, sweet basil seeds, and jelly, It got me hooked! I went back a 2nd time and got the pineapple fruit tea. That was an absolute miss. I was determined to go back. This time I tried the lychee fruit tea. It's ok. My go to is the peach. Don't change my mind! I'm not venturing off to try another fruit tea. It's a corner store in the lu's garden parking lot. Ordering is on a tablet kiosk. But if that's out, you can order from the cashier. No tables, just a waiting area. So don't plan on sitting there to do your work or anything.
