50 Best Bubble Tea near Sierra Madre

“Well I know what's going to be my new acai bowl place!! I finally tried one of their bowls today and it was absolutely delicious! It tasted super fresh and use cappahaden Coconut they used was like kind of chewy which was so yummy on the top. The service is a little bit slower than your usual asahi bowl place but I didn't mind too much because the food was fantastic! I will definitely be back! And even better it's only like 7 minutes away from my house!“

“This place is a must stop if you are within an hour’s drive. Fire Bunny is sweet milk drink with creme brûlée topping. And Thai iced tea soft serve served with fresh hot boba?! Yes please!“

“Their oolong tea is great, the staff is very friendly and some of them are Taiwanese so they have Chinese menu. Their tea jelly is good, one thing we like the most is they have barley as topping. Highly recommend to try their tea with barley.“

“Nice place and nice tea. They even provide tea leave for smell. Good quality tea. Very satisfied. I ordered my milk tea with 75% sugar coz I was afraid the honey boba could be too sweet. Turned out their sweetness level is just perfect. Can order regular sugar with honey boba next time. Won't be too sweet. Good service. I ordered two drinks and the barista provided a paper holder. I like it to be environmentally friendly.“

“This place never disappoints us! Amazing drinks, super friendly staff. My favorites are the green thai milk tea and the watermelon juice, so refreshing!! Despite many other boba shops around, this place has their own unique taste, they just… “hit” different (in the best way possible)“

“Good service. Highly recommend“

“The Newark location has great atmosphere, very friendly people, and boba always taste great! The Dirty Boba is fire....LITERALLY!!!“

“The owner is an incredible person. On top of that, the boba is tastier than most with a slightly softer and sweeter flavor. Vegan milk options. Ample parking and a post your own note wall. Trued the matcha and will be back for the Thai tea. Heard the fruit teas are really good too.“

“Best Cream cheese foam I've ever had! As a coffee drinker, I always look for boba cafes that has coffee milk tea, but they have a genuine coffee what is so good to me. Also, their teas are specially and freshly brewed anytime, that aroma soothes me when I come across their making teas.Customer service is excellent too, and you'll never fail to take picture of your drink with their seasonal decorations. Inside is always clean and restroom is accessible easily too. :)“

“This is definitely a 7-8 out of 10. A huge shoutout for keeping prices low! The taste was good. The workers are all very friendly. The food comes out fast. If you want better Pho, you'll have to check out some neighboring places. If you happen to be in Baldwin Park, this will work.“

“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+“

“I tried the My Sweet Heart and Jasmine Blossom. I love that they crafted speciality drinks that alrdy include toppings. The my sweet heart is milk tea mixed with rose. They actually use rose petals and probably a bit syrup because the drink has a hint of pink coloring. The boba is the perfect chewy texture and the sweetness level was good too. The jasmine blossom was refreshing and I love the mix of fruitiness with the aloe Vera. They have a self order machine but there is someone that can also take your order if you want to pay cash. I came mid day on a Friday and they only had one person on staff so if you don't use the self order, it can be a bit of a wait. The tea shop is cute and has a lot of seatings. The aesthetics of the shop is very cute and ig worthy haha.“

“When am pm coffee won't do and you only want quality coffee then this spot will satisfy your caffeine urge“

“Visited here 2 weeks ago.. the vibe is awesome. The location is tiny but a great use of space and great energy. Shout out to Cindy she is a rockstar! I think Monday nights with Mindy are the best kept secret at this place. Thanks for bringing joy and care into the world through painting (and Boba)... See you soon!“

“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:“

“Never knew a shop like this existed let alone knew what Coconut jelly King was all about. We were visiting the HMART market in Arcadia and noticed the Coconut Jelly King at the Food Court. Judging by their menu they mainly specialize in drinks and jelly made with coconut but they had other items on their menu. We got the Pineapple Coconut Jelly and the double Coconut jelly to try out. They were packed in a dessert jars and refrigerated. To be clear Asian jelly is made with Agar or Arrowroot. It is not Jello which is made with gelatin derived from animals. The Pineapple Coconut Jelly had shredded Pineapple base topped with Coconut Jelly made with slightly sweetened Coconut milk. I like Pineapple I thought it would be my favorite. I liked the Double Coconut Jelly a lot more. The base was a jelly made with Coconut Water and topped with Coconut jelly made with sweetened Coconut Milk. The dessert itself was light and refreshing. The flavors were subtle but it was delicious and turned out to be my favorite. iCYMI, Coconut milk is made from steeping dried Coconut flesh and is usually sweetened for drinks or desserts. It also is used for used as a base for Curries. I just found that they have a location in Lad Vegas so I'll be stopping by soon and try some different flavors. Sorry Yelpers. I totally forgot to take pics.“

“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 think I am addicted to their iced green tea with boba. I have forgotten how much I love it until I got it recently at Yi Fang. Yi Fang is a Taiwanese Boba and Fruit Tea chain that recently opened an Arcadia location in the Burlington Coat Factory and Pavilion's shopping plaza. I am very happy that Yi Fang chose to open one here. Ever since I had their boba in Berkeley in 2019, I have been longing for an Yi Fang close by. Their boba is warm and chewy. If you don't want to wait, I recommend you order online first. There are happy hour promotions when the drinks are 15% when you order online. I haven't seen the promotions at the in store kiosk. They may be there too. The ambiance is clean and presents an old Taiwan vibe. There are no tables inside and only one bench to sit while you are waiting for your drinks So this is more of a grab and go place. I did see desserts on their menu and can't wait to try them next time!“

“I stopped by randomly at night, and it was empty. The decor was nice and vibrant. With lots of anime stuff, which is awesome to me as an Otaku. I ordered the mango passion fruit lemonade. It was made quickly and to perfection. The level of sweetness to tartness was spot on. The lady asked me to taste it before I left to ensure I liked my drink. I told her it was perfect. This particular location has had many tea owners inhabit it, but hopefully, this place is around for a long while. I wanna try lots of other delicious drinks!“

“CHICHA San Chen's boba shop serves up an authentic taste of Taiwan with its premium oolong tea. From the first sip, you're transported to the tea fields of Taiwan with its rich and aromatic flavor. The boba itself is perfectly chewy, adding a delightful texture to each drink. With friendly service and a cozy atmosphere, it's the perfect spot to satisfy your boba cravings. However, the taste of their Green Tea feels like the Oolong Tea to me.“

“I was in the same plaza and I was craving boba, so I decided to try this place out. The decoration is really cute and matches the aesthetics of their drinks. I came on a Sunday afternoon and it was not busy at all. The cashier was friendly and answer all the questions I had about the drinks and the sweetness levels. I got the Blinking Passion Fruit Planet 50% with grass jelly. This was the perfect sweetness for me as the drink also came with popping boba. The total for one drink came out to be over $8, which I don't think it was worth it for a basic passion fruit green tea. My experience here was overall good, but not a go-to. They are open late which is a plus.“

“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!“

“I'm a regular here along with my significant other. We enjoy the consistency of the drinks and the very friendly staff. We're always nicely greeted and the drinks are good. If I ever don't like something they just make it again no hesitation, but that's only happened maybe 2 times out of the many many other times we go here. My favorite drinks are the lychee milk tea and the strawberry milk tea.“

“Best fruit tea! Try winter melon lemonade“

“Boba St is walking distance from our home and I'm so excited that the drinks are tasty! We ordered a thai tea and mango swirl with popping boba. Service was great and welcoming. Great music. Loved the decors and cleanliness. We will come back to try the other drinks!“

“We love this boba place! Whenever we're in the Baldwin Park area, we make sure to stop and get out boba and drinks here.My go to drink is the Mango smoothie!!! I love how cold, nice and refreshing it is!!! The strawberry smoothie is my son's favorite and anything matcha are my girls favs!!! Boba Lair has seasonal drinks as well which we'll try just because it's what they're featuring.Everything here is yummy yummy yummy! Come try for yourself.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Twinkle Brown is my favorite Tea spot in Alhambra, everything on the menu is a must try and must have!“

“I got to go place to try the whole menu Free 10th drink on the house“

“I've tried several drinks from Sunright Tea Studio across their various locations and their biggest strength would be the quality and taste of their boba. A lot of boba at other places might be sweet but either too soft or hard, or just the right qq texture but no flavor. Sunright manages to do both sweet and qq for their boba. For that reason only, Sunright is in my boba rotation. Not only is the boba well done, but their drinks are solid as well. They're not as good as the drinks at other places like Chicha San Chen or Formosa Aroma, but Sunright makes up for what it lacks. Chicha and Formosa's boba are on the more bland side so Sunright would be a better option if quality and sweet boba over quality milk tea is the priority. I've had their signature Brown Sugar boba milk teas a few times and they've always turned out well. They veer a bit on the sweeter side but that is to be expected for a brown sugar milk tea. Luckily the milk isn't too watery nor thick. The Oreo brûlée is also very solid and you can really taste the Oreo flavor without it being too thick from the cream. So far I've only found one of their drinks to be disappointing and that is their Matcha Strawberry latte. It was super watery in consistency yet still had a powdery texture. It was described as fresh strawberries yet the strawberries tasted like it was originally frozen. The strawberries were very finely grounded that it tasted more like a purée than actual strawberries. At the same time, the taste from the strawberries was also too artificially sweet that it makes me question even more how they handle them. Finally, I think the ratio of matcha to strawberries feels unbalanced. The drink is mostly matcha that after a few sips the strawberry taste was already gone so it very quickly turned into a very watery matcha latte not even halfway through the drink.“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“This was such a cute find from the 'City of Monrovia,' which neighbors, the 'City of Arcadia.' I normally stick to supporting the 'City of Arcadia,' but due to all the five star reviews I browsed, I Yelped my way here to support them late night on March/27/24. I ordered the Royal Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Boba but upgraded to the Surprise cup because I wanted the plushy toy which I got 'Plushy Toast.' I'm definitely keeping the surprise paper cup because that was super cute too. I only drank 1/3 of the tea because was sharing the rest of it with my dad. With all the stuff I got, my order came out $9 something, but it was totally worth it due to these super cute souvenirs. These are such cute concepts making this Tea House super innovative. Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 10/10 Value: 10/10. PS. They still give out frequent buyer cards. I'll be back!!!! They had me at Hello.“

“Mmmmnn best boba I have tried here in LA. I love the Hokkaido milk tea flavor. So unique of a flavor and was so delicious. I asked for 30-50% sugar. We tried to go up the drive through without a car and they said we would have to get our car. There was also no seating. Besides that, the name is what it represents: it's an express boba grab-and-go. Yum! Prices were so good too!“

“I ordered their house milk tea with boba (25% sugar). The boba was soft and the tea actually tasted brewed and pleasant. I love that they give you a 0% sugar option, which not all tea places do.The service was fast and friendly, and there were plenty of tables to sit and parking was ample.“

“Definitely recommend this place...it’s kind of hidden but worth finding!!! Highly recommend the the Pink laffy taffy and the dirty nurple!!! Excellent!!!“

“I've always heard of BenGong's Tea but never visited until recently. The restaurant is well decorated from inside and out, and the staff member was welcoming and patient in explaining a good number of menu items. Syrups and purees are often ingredients I avoid, but they explained that they used cane sugar and made their own purees in-house. I was captivated by their methods and gave into trying out their Peach Oolong Milk Tea, which also came with their Highland Barley topping. At 50% sweet, the peach oolong milk tea was PERFECT. Their highland barley topping was an experience. As explained, imagine an oat inside a popping boba. It's an interesting and entertaining experience, though I don't know if I'd ever get it again. Overall, though, the drinks and location were enjoyable locations for any quick meet up - will be returning!“

“I recommend you try this place whenever you can. They have a large option of drinks. The staff are always so kind. My favorite drinks are the horchata cinnamon crumbs, the brown sugar milk tea, and the butterfly mango. Soo delicious and big thank you to the staff!“

“have heard lots of hype about sunright and after going I can understand why it is a crowd pleaser. ordering screens are very convenient and provide informative descriptions about each drink. the drink selection is impressive, there is something for every kind of drink enjoyer here. hoping to revisit to try more of their menu it is very enticing. boyfriend got the most popular milk tea and it wasn't mind blowing but a very solid yummy milk tea. boba was a good firmness and sweetness. I got the mango fruit tea which was also basic tasting but equally solid. drink wasn't purely ice unlike other tea spots. we left satisfied, I would agree that this a reliable tea spot.“

“Cute and delicious! Big Japan vibes, gave me flashbacks. Tofu is superb- chewy and the drink was creamy. This is not like starbucks- it is distinctive and if you do not know what a tofu drink is, expect a beverage with a complex flavor, not just syrup. The staff is quite nice and if you know the anime or manga, it's a destination cafe!“

“I been coming to this place over 7 years, food is good as always. Even now I still drive 20 minutes to get the foods 3 times a week. Popcorn chicken is the must try item and the braised pork chops are the classic. Fired pork chops is delicious and crispy, recommend eating it right away or less than 20 minutes otherwise will get bit soft. Food is freshly prepared so it takes around 10-20 minutes to wait, totally understandable (McDonald takes longer than that ) I rather wait 20 for my popcorn chicken than the nuggets.“

“So many yummy flavors, and I really like the tea floats too. My favorite drinks are: strawberry yogurt smoothie, coconut strawberry, jasmine tea float, and the fruit shaved ice. My 13 year old likes the tiger sugar milk tea and my 9 year old like the macarons the best (not a fan of boba, but she likes the lychee jelly toppings lol).“

“Their lunches are pretty good with all drinks half off regular size only. There are many drinks to choose from. We always get their fried combination with extra spicy. No one can beat their fried combination! Must try! Dine in is not open still maybe they don't have enough person to work or just to save labor and cost for Togo orders only. ?️??“

“Zero ambiance but DAMNED good meat pies! It's small, seats maybe 20 ish diners total. I noticed they serve a lot of take out, there were many people coming and going as we sat there to eat. The food is super fresh. The dumplings and meat pies are made to order. You can watch them make them from your table (that's how small this place is!). They're quite no nonsense, it's very, give me your order, thanks, going to make them now. The food is delicious. We ordered: Lamb & green onion pancakes - juicy chopped or ground lamb. Very flavorful but not gamey at all. Fried buns - Good crispy pan fried bottoms, super soft on top but not so thick that it feels like there's more bun than meat. The pork is moist but not soupy and juice filled like you're used to. Pan fried pork & seafood dumplings - similarly juicy filling like the previous two but mixed with seafood. Good crunch on the bottom but no carby "lace" connecting them all. We parked right out on the street, 20 ft from the front door. In the evenings it's pretty easy as there's not a TON of other stores open in the surrounding area. Definitely eating here again...and again...and again.“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Tru Tea in Pasadena, it exceeded all my expectations. The place was so adorable! The first thing that caught my attention was that they use fresh real fruits in their tea! The flavors were vibrant and authentic. It was evident that they prioritize using high-quality ingredients, and it made all the difference in taste. Another highlight was their delectable bakeries! The pastries were perfectly baked, with a delicate balance of sweetness and a heavenly texture. I can tell they put in a lot of care and expertise into creating these treats. I was happily surprised that I can also order custom-made cakes and cupcakes for birthday parties! I highly recommend everyone to pay them a visit for a refreshing and delicious treat.“

“Love it ever since I found about this place. Love that the wall is filled with anime & sometimes band logos drawings & stickers on their counter. Like the mango & peach icy (slushie). Buy one & get one free!!“

“Cute little cat themed Boba shop, what’s not to like? The drinks themselves were OK for the price, didn’t really stand out compared to all the other Boba shops in old town. The milk tea I tried tasted a bit artificial. It’s a small shop with a few seating options and a table or two. The staff was nice and the service was quick, the kiosk was very easy to order from.“

“delicious food, great customer service, drinks are also great“

“The food was awesome! They also had these little video games that you could play while you wait and they were kinda confusing but really fun. Come here for a great dessert!Vegetarian options: Everything is vegetarian except the chicken nuggets!Kid-friendliness: All the video games and vibe.“

“Location is at the corner of Walnut Grove and Valley. It is in the middle corner of the mall. Same mall as Sam Woo and McDonald. Parking may be hard to find during the peak.They encourage all customers to order via the booths. No cashier. No cash.Clean restroom.I do prefer better seat. The seat now is not stable and look worn out.Music is quite laud. It would be better to turn out a bit. Anyway vibe is good.The drinks taste good with reasonable price. They offer not only drinks but hot food like chicken pop and friend wonton. But do remember if you want a dipping sauce, you have to pay extra even though the picture show it with dipping sauce.This is hidden gem and I definitely go back.Dietary restrictions: You can pick level of sugar.Parking: There are many popular places in the same mall, so parking may be a bit difficult to find.Kid-friendliness: There is gaming available for playing.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room.“
