Inside seems nice, and employee was helpful and explained about the drinks. I ended on a peach tea but it really had no flavor. Also it upset my stomach.
I used to visit here for their fruits tea frequently, but recently their quality has gone down significantly.Winter melon fruits tea just tastes like pure syrup even with 30% sugar - it was not edible… Mango pomelo sago drink just smelled and tasted like they had stale milk inside. I miss the high quality Yifang with the perfect level of sweetness and wonderful flavor of fruits.

Not a bad place for drinks, I got the Kyoto Uji Matcha Brown Sugar Pearl Latte which was not bad, but it felt like it lacked a lotta flavor or richness to be honest. It just felt like something was missing and ironically wasn't sweet enough. The boba itself was really good though and I'm surprised that I actually ate all the boba because I usually don't! Hard to comment on service since they use kiosks, but our drinks came out promptly.I got the Kyoto juice matcha since it seemed like one of the popular go-to options here, but overall it was kinda underwhelming. To be fair, I imagine that their fruitier drinks might be better since it's in the name, and since there are many more options to choose from drink-wise, I can't give a hard precise rating just from one experience and one item but a 4/5 for now until I come back! I'm pretty sure this is one of the better boba places in Glendale, because all the other ones are pretty generic in my opinion.Keep in mind you have to pay for parking here!

I'm a big fan of yifang in general, but this branch needs a LOT of improvement. I've been here three times, and had drinks made by three different staff and the experience was the same each time. It took over 25 mins to get my drink despite there being only two drinks that were ordered ahead of me and all my customizations were ignored. In fact, I watched as two other people walked back to the store with problems with how their drink was made on my last visit. You will get 50% ice and 80% sugar no matter what you actually request . I do not recommend this particular branch.

My wife and I just found out that Yi Fang was in Glendale. My wife is overjoyed! I got the coconut milk with red beans and purple rice. This was the most unique and delicious drink I have ever had.Red bean mochi Latte is delicious??Parking: Actually, parking is easy if you know where to park. There is a public parking lot a block west of Yi Fang, on S. Orange. It is free for 90 minutes.

I love this spot! I always come for my usual, mango pomelo sago drink, it's a hit every time I get it. And it's right on the corner of the street too so pretty walkable , although parking can be tricky on that main road. I wish there was a drive up parking spot because sometimes I just need to go in and grab my drink and then head out! But anyway all the staff are friendly and get my order right every time. Everytime i am in the area, I order ahead online to get my fix! Prices are always fair. Definitely going to keep coming back!

It’s an okay bubble tea place. More specialized in fruit tea (not so much on the milk tea side)

I've had Yifang in taiwan and of course it doesn't come close to it. But I would say they have quality ingredients and unique flavors. I got the Kyoho grape fruit tea which tasted like a sweetier version of the grape jolly rancher but I did like my friend's mango coconut snow, it tasted super sweet and fresh. I will say I wish they had many of their popular items sold out that I wanted to try. I noticed it does get pack pretty quickly and not alot of seating. The staff took about like 5-8 mins to make. I will definitely come back to taste their popular item.
Quick service. I normally get the mango pomelo sago at other locations. Got the crystal mango latte this time.. as you can see it's lacking compared to the poster and what I see other people post . We always get 0% sugar and it tastes good but the bubble was no good for us.

I've never had a yi fang drink that tasted good other than the mango pomelo sago. The strawberry milk frappe had a weird sour aftertaste, the red bean frappe was gritty, and this time I tried the regular milk tea with green tea, which was also unpleasant. The service here is always good but the only drink I would get here is the mango pomelo sago.

This is my favorite boba shop I go to in Glendale, CA. All their drinks are pretty good and they take online order with curbside pick up! This is a plus since finding a close parking in Glendale takes forever to find. My usual go-to is plain iced black milk tea with sweetness level 30%, no ice. Instead of popular boba balls, I like to get their agar jelly. Their agar jelly is chewy and goes perfectly well with the drink. My wife likes fresh taro milk and she gets it with 0% sweetness, yet the drink has enough sweet level for her taste. Only downside about this place is that their drinks are slightly overpriced compared to other boba places. But most of their drinks are very tasty so I guess every good thing has a high price. Other drinks I would recommend are iced brown sugar milk tea latte, pineapple tea, fruit tea, mango sago and passion fruit tea! (Taro sago was little bit too heavy and sweet for me)
