Tea Restaurants near Arcadia, CA

“Love this place. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. Did not feel rushed to finish my tea. The ladies working there were friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely go back.“

“One of the absolute best places for boba milk teas and smoothies!! Their menu has a great selectiom you are bound to find at least 1, if not multiple, favourite drinks that'll keep you coming back!! Always a treat coming here and enjoying their refreshing drinks 😃🩷🩷“

“They make the best tea ever! Easy parking and friendly staff!“

“A friend informed me about this awesome place where you can buy loose leaf tea. I was searching for Lychee tea...I was happy to find it there. Prices are reasonable:
Black $36/lb
Oolong $50/lb

They have a large selection. I ended up buying other types to try.

Only downside is they kinda close early, imo.“

“Place has been good since day one. Good since the mask were a thing. Yes it has gone through several changes over the years. Food is great people are great. Don’t expect fast service when it’s busy every day. Brown sugar boba the best 10/10 fried medium spice 10/10. Best boba in California. Thank you 🙏🏼“

“Great tea selection and very knowledgeable owners who give great recommendations, for true tea lovers, overall a lovely place, will be coming back!“

“Recommended by my partner during our date on a hot day, this boba shop is located in the back of a plaza in SGV, although a moderate size parking lot, it can fill out pretty quickly. The shop is small with no tables, only benches inside & outside, it could get pretty cramped in the shop since it was pretty busy when we arrived.

It's always nice to have a boba shop that has kiosk ordering & ordering via register. They have plentiful of menu options including specialties in oolong teas. Cups are a huge factor for me when reviewing drink shops and Chun Yang Tea is definitely on the higher quality side of cups. They're sturdy, cute design, and no spills.

My partner and I waited about 15 minutes for our drink during peak hours which is pretty quick. Highly recommend to order online ahead of time to skip waiting times.“

“I first discovered Erva Yerba Mate at music festivals and food truck events around Los Angeles, and I was immediately hooked. Their yerba mate drinks are incredibly refreshing—fruity, ice-cold, and genuinely satisfying. What really stood out to me was how I felt afterward: a clean, feel-good energy from the caffeine with no jitters or crash. It’s honestly better tasting and more balanced than coffee - which I'm not a regular drinker of.

I was so impressed that I started going directly to the store to fill my growler and ended up buying bottled yerba mate for myself and friends. Every time I go in, the staff is warm, friendly, and happy to chat. I usually ask whoever’s working to make me their favorite blend, and it’s always fantastic. Consistently cold, crisp, and refreshing. That's why I've enjoyed trying so many flavors!

A friend of mine said he ended up buying a growler from them at the Atwater farmers market on Sundays. He's also hooked!

Parking is easy, which is rare in LA, and I love that it’s right around the corner from the ReStore—perfect excuse to hunt for good deals after grabbing a drink. The owners, Tiffany and Juan, are genuinely kind, welcoming people, and it shows in how the place is run.

I've brought bottles to parties and events for people who don't want an adult beverage and people were SO APPRECIATIVE!

I really hope they expand their food options soon—I love the empanadas and the sauces and would happily eat more there. This place is a gem and a regular stop for me now.

Highly recommend if you want a better alternative to coffee and a great local small business to support.“

“Good prices got me inside.

I will definitely come back.“

“Delicious ube boba! I ordered the Purple Yam Fresh Milk with oat milk, 25% sugar, and boba.

Customer service was also good! My husband didn’t know what to order, and the server helped him choose something that hit the spot.“

“A hidden gem in the heart of Pasadena. The Rose Tree Cottage is like stepping back in time to a “gentil” way of living Britain circa mid 1900s and before. The high tea with delicious food and impeccable service from Edmund & his wife Mary who have run this establishment for decades. I am grateful to our friends who told us to dress for tea…and brought us to experience this lovely afternoon. Step into Rose tree cottage and take a break from the mania surrounding us daily. Your soul and not to mention your stomach will be grateful.“

“I recently visited a coffee shop that offered a wonderful experience with its relaxing atmosphere, delicious drinks, and excellent customer service. As soon as I walked in, the comforting smell of freshly brewed coffee created a warm and inviting feeling. The shop had a modern yet cozy interior with soft lighting, comfortable seating, and calming background music that made it an ideal place to relax, study, or meet with friends. The menu featured a wide variety of beverages and snacks, including espresso drinks, cappuccinos, iced coffees, teas, pastries, and sandwiches. I ordered a vanilla latte along with a chocolate croissant, and both were outstanding. The coffee was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced in flavor, while the croissant was fresh, flaky, and delicious. The presentation of the food and drinks was simple but attractive, showing the care and quality put into every order. The customer service was one of the best parts of my visit. The staff members were polite, welcoming, and attentive to customers’ needs. They prepared orders quickly while maintaining a friendly attitude, even during busy hours. Their positive energy made the overall experience even more enjoyable. The coffee shop was also very clean and organized, including the seating area, counter, and restrooms. Free Wi-Fi and charging outlets near the tables added convenience for customers who wanted to work or spend extra time there. Overall, this coffee shop provided an excellent experience with high-quality coffee, tasty snacks, and a comfortable environment. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable place to enjoy coffee and relax.“

“I've recently purchased a box to try and have been impressed with the quality. I must have purchased a box that had quality control issues because I found an empty bag within the first two bags I pulled from the box. I contacted uncle lees and they went beyond my expectations and sent me two free boxes of tea! Well done!“

“X Tea Cafe is definitely my favorite tea shop lately! The brown sugar boba milk tea is rich in tea flavor with just the right amount of sweetness, and the boba is perfectly chewy and soft — absolutely delicious. The shop is clean and bright with a cozy atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and chat with friends. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Highly recommend to anyone who loves high-quality tea drinks!“

“This review is a long time coming! I came here 3 times between Oct 2022 and April 2023, bringing friends (some new and some repeats) for tea tastings. You can try 5 teas per tasting with 5 steepings per tea (for time's sake and not because of flavor dissipation). There is such a wide and ever-changing selection of teas so there's always more to try than you could possibly ever drink!Tea habitat specializes in Chinese teas, but since that's already a lot of area to cover, you'll find something for everyone's tastes. The owner is hilarious, and we all enjoyed interacting not only with the tea and each other, but also with her. We definitely leave tea drunk :)I usually put some tasting notes for the teas in my reviews, but notes for 15 teas is a bit excessive so I'll just share a couple of my favorites.The 2022 Tai Ping Hou Kui Wild Grown 1st pick is almost matcha-like, velvety soft with a slight nuttiness. The flavor mellows over the steepings into a clean mouthfeel with subtle floral bouquet.The 2022 Xiao Ye Tu Cha Wild Native (white) Varietal Small Leaf was super interesting! It started with a sweet aroma and reminded me inexplicably of soy milk (a mix of slight creaminess and nuttiness, maybe), but with juicy mouth feel. The creamy berry sweetness really predominates in the second steeping, and there is a subtle almost umami tendency in the third steeping.I also bought a Chao Zhou red clay teapot to brew Phoenix Dan Cong teas at home!To buy to bring home, the prices of the tea leaves really range, with (of course) the really high quality teas being pricier (but oh are they good!). This is not my go-to place to stock up tea for every day drinking (can't quite afford that and some personal preferences), but it's a great treat for tea lovers to be able to access and experiment with a variety of Chinese teas. Definitely a fun experience, especially with friends!“

“Happily stumbled across this cozy boba shop on accident. The staff will treat you very friendly and you’ll receive a high quality drink. I’m just not sure if it’s always that cold in there or what the purpose of that would be, but it was definitely noticeable during my brief visit“

“My favorite drink is Coffee Milk Tea with topping Honey Sea Salt Cream 😋“

“It used to sell more supermarket type goods, whereas now, it’s more expensive teas and tea ware, electronics, wine and dried goods. It’s majority tea related stuff, so, it’s a good place to look for most kinds of Chinese teas, especially loose leaf and tea cakes.“

“Delicious 🤤 got three drinks and all amazing. Highly recommend l!“

“I had a Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea with no ice and level 1 (of 5) sweetness. I really enjoy freshly brewed milk tea (freshly brewed after order is placed) compared to milk tea prepared with tea that was brewed well in advance, had been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long, and used only after the order is placed. I definitely recommend to try their boba tea.“

“Yay! a new place we hadn't tried and it's really good 🤗 we shared the green curry with shrimp,, the fried rice with chicken and shrimp and my favorite the pad see ewe with chicken yum. Definitely will be back to try the lunch specials. Very clean and super nice staff.“

“And they were having a promotion where if I leave a review, I get a free drink so I’m grateful for that. The tea was good. There was only a little bit of miscommunication with customizing a drink and they make you do the review before they give you the drink so other than that I will definitely come back.“

“elegant tea with delicious menu options“

“Beat boba milk tea. 😀😀😀😀“

“I'm the type of person who loves sweet teas but unfortunately, I have to cut back on sweet stuff and it's been so hard going out and finding a refreshing drink that isn't filled with sugar. I also hate being the kind of customer that gives cashiers/barristas a hard time. But the two people that were working here today were super patient and went out of their way to accommodate my annoying needs. The tea ended up with the perfect sweetness that was refreshing and safely sedated my craving. Thank you so much. 💓 My husband and I truly appreciate it.“

“Great environment, staff and drinks, and they help support local small businesses. Great place to be!“

“好喝！ 波霸粉圓新鮮！“

“I'm a teaspresso milk tea enjoyer and this is one of the best milk tea places I've ever been to. The popcorn milk tea is uniquely buttery without compromising the tea flavor or the balance of the drink. The koan-im oolong milk tea is similar to Chicha's drinks in style but is richer and smoother while being less astringent. 10/10, would absolutely come again.“

“I have been coming here for multiple times for their drinks and so far I love it!
It is a small place for a boba shop but it is a pretty good place to chill when the place is not crowded. The servers are very nice and patient when you are ordering your drinks. The place in general are clean, even with the restroom.
The drinks are fantastic in my opinion, no matter what sweetness level you are going for. My personal favorite/ to-go are the rose cream foam milk tea or formosa ocean. Trust me, I think you will like them if you are a sweet tooth-er or Rose lover. (Good looking drinks for pictures too!)
Try their origanal flavored Formosa Umeyaki too! They are not only pretty for pictures, but crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, specifically when they are freshly made. Great desserts matching with your drinks!“

“All good good place the pancakes is fenomenal“

“"If you love French cuisine, then Madeline Garden Bistro & Venue is sure to please. The cuisine here is very authentic, delicious and makes the mouth feel enjoyable to the max."“

“Rating: 4.5 stars
I ordered the strawberry slush but removed the ice cream. It comes with boba and u can choose which one using the substitution. Adding a topping is $0.85 per topping if its boba and more for other toppings. I had mango boba, which is only available on weekends and fridays. The boba is pretty good and freshly made, although the quality can sometimes vary. The mango boba tastes actually like mango and isn't simply just a coloring or very light, unlike some places with flavored boba.
In terms of the drink itself, it is one of the best strawberry slushes I've ever had, with the flavor tasting authentic. Since it's blended, there are some smaller ice bits that aren't fully slush-consistency, but apart from that, I'd definitely recommend this drink for those who like strawberry or fruit.
The one issue I have is that on the kiosk, the prices shown when selecting drinks don't include tax and only show them when u checkout, which can be annoying since many other stores do include tax when showing product prices. Because of that, the drinks can be somewhat pricey compared to other places, but on the plus side, the quality is amazing.“

“We had a lovely time celebrating my daughter's Bday at Chado. They are very welcoming and accommodating to their guests. Our waiter was knowledgeable about all of the teas, and patient with our many questions. We enjoyed the tea so much, we chose a few new flavors to try at home.“

“This is one the best boba I’ve ever had, beating a lot of the bobas in Taiwan, including Xing Fu Tung in San Gabriel.

None of that plastic boba you’d get from other bobas in Pasadena or most socal boba places.

This is perfect chewy/softness/firmness. What a find.“

“All good good place the pancakes is fenomenal“

“A small tea shop hidden in a corner of a plaza and a busy SGV. A spot that's been around for a long time and pretty consistent today. Recently my partner and I visited for their Mango Pomelo Sago BOGO and the order was ready pretty quickly. Interior is clean and staff was friendly. Easy pickup and go.

Similar to most Yi Fang locations, there's essentially no seating inside besides one bench and that's basically it. This location as a self ordering kiosk which is always a nice sight to see.

Drinks wise, I've tried many but my favorite is for sure their milk tea series, even though they're known for their fruit tea series, I find their milk teas to be very consistent as well. Their menu is extensive which can be a bit offsetting for you to pick your drink but I think it's a good part of their shop as they practically have every type of drink you want to order, from fruit teas, milk teas, cheese foams, etc.“

“有趣的音樂 打眼的綠色 好喝的果肉“

“Great green teas bobas and a great place for family games😊“

“Ok my first time was awful bc I got a bad drink and I didnt not pre-order. 3cat is geniunely amazing but theres rules to get a good drink.

First dont get boba. Dont know why they never do boba good. Theres other amazing toppings like the mochi that I would personally choose.

Second always ALWAYS order online. Waits up to an hour sometimes and its important to order online so you can just go in and pick up. Everyone else also orders online too.

Fruit drinks here r rlly good and I would also recommend their matcha jasmine, super fragent and high quality“

“The service there is very good and I enjoyed it very much. My favorite is the Sunlit Mango Glow 🥭 and honestly, one of my favorite drinks of all time! It was so refreshing and the vibe there is also really confortable! Overall, I recommend you coming here for a nice summer treat or a warm cup of tea!“
