Bubble Tea near Hacienda Heights

“I have been trying various milk tea places in the area to find a place that would cater milk tea for my upcoming wedding. My wife could not have the wedding without having milk tea served to the guests. My wife and I tried the champ milk tea here and decided that this place was the one. Their portions are much larger than other shops, and the tea flavor is pronounced and not covered by sugar/milk. The manager, Ryan, was super helpful in preparing our bulk order for the wedding, and it was a major hit during our wedding. Definitely come here for their various milk tea flavors, and also highly recommend their Kumquat green tea! Thank you Tea Champ!“

“had the tropical special and the coco cake. both were really good. the coco cake reminded me of an egg waffle in a cute shape. staff were very friendly. many tables and chairs which makes a nice place to hang out and enjoy your drinks. highly recommend!“

“This is my go to place!! It’s so good, they always make such good teas and they are quick too. They make the best thai tea in my opinion. The fries and pop chicken are the bomb? . The service is great and they are always so nice and ask how my day is(: 5 stars!!“

“I was drawn to this boba shop because of its high ratings and very reasonable prices! Located inside Chubby Cattle, you don’t need to dine at the restaurant to order here.

Here’s what I tried:

Osmantheous Oolong Milk Tea with Boba (less sugar, less ice): This was fantastic! The tea-forward flavor was exactly how I like my milk tea, and the boba had just the right texture—not too chewy and not overly sweet. I’d definitely order this again.

Strawberry Oolong Tea (less sugar, less ice): A little on the sweeter side for my taste, but still a great deal at just $2.99.

To my surprise, they were running a buy-two-get-one-free special during Christmas week! The third drink that was part of the promotion was an Iced Strawberry Matcha, which was quite sweet but still a nice addition to the experience.

Overall, this spot offers great value and drinks—I’d happily return!“

“This is a wonderful family-run boba shop. The owner is always super friendly. They make their drinks to order, instead of pre-mixing them like other shops. And I appreciate that I can get my drink with regular milk, instead of non-dairy creamer being the only option.“

“Surprisingly spacious inside! They do have a rear lot, but street parking is probably your best bet. It’s definitely more of a social hangout than a quiet study spot, but the layout works well. Despite the crowd, service was efficient, I had my two drinks in less than 10 minutes. The peach oolong was a pleasant surprise and better than expected.“

“Usually boba shops don’t stand out from other boba shops. Except this one. This Cerritos outlet of 7 Miles Tea Lab has more creative blends of toppings with different textures and tiny taste bombs. I would select lower sugar level since the ingredients being blended seem already sweet enough. Unless you are a super sugar tooth. As said these are serious dessert drinks and much less like your simple milk tea with tapioca boba balls. They only have one kiosk to order your drink sk there might be quite a wait if the customer ahead of you cannot decide what to order since the choices of drinks and toppings are varied. There is plenty of free parking in the strip mall parking lot.“

“First time trying this place. Loved their teas and the super cute random photos on the top! ❤️🎁🎄🎅🏻“

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

“wonderful drinks and great service!!“

“I've been to this place many times and I really like it. It has a very thick tea flavor. They actually prepared a puppy cup for the puppy, with an egg yolk on top! I just love it so much!! The waiters were very friendly. Even though it was already past 9 p.m., they still faced every customer in a very good state. I will recommend it to everyone around me!“

“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!!“

“New Place, not bad! Staff was helpful with good suggestions. When I got here, it wasn't super busy. Somehow, I'm normally the quiet one, but here, as low volume as my friend and I were talking, we still managed to be the loudest ones here. If you need to work or study, this isn't a bad option.“

“Love this place love the meets they host the drinks are really good and so is the tofu“

“Chapresso is a tiny boba tea shop in San Marino. They have breadth selection of fruit teas and milk tea boba. And it is the only tea shop in this upper middle class city. I came to grab a hot Jasmine Pekoe Green tea which is a high-quality tea leaves , often younger leaves with fine hair (pekoe). Its flavor was smooth, mellow, slightly sweet, with fresh fruity undertones.

Prices were fair. Staff and service were cordial and on spot, respectively. Indoor and outdoor seats were very limited.

Overall, I liked my tea at Chapresso. I highly recommend them.“

“Been meaning to try Bopomofo but I live in NorCal so haven't had a chance until today! The hojicha latte is less intense than what I'm used to but still kept me up all night. The dark meat popcorn chicken is probably my favorite thing here. It did not disappoint. The beef noodle sandwich was an interesting experience and literally tasted like pho in a sandwich. The walnut shrimp sandwich was underwhelming and too dry for my taste.

Staff were friendly, seating is limited.“

“Se ve muy limpio y el personal amable“

“Price is right. They serve quick and dependable powder based boba tea drink that reminded me of college days. They have some other boba drinks too but I kinda like their non-lactose milk teas! I’ll go back and try for the other ones.

What really got me in the door were the pastries! I found the aroma, texture and flavors to have been a good quality!“

“Cocoa cream wow 🤤 es delicioso 😋“

“Tenju Tea House has solid tea. A plus is they offer loyalty stamp cards! I think the 10th drink is free. There is a kiosk if you want to pay by card/tap, but you can order with the cashier too.

I thought they used to be in the 99 Ranch plaza, but I guess they moved here behind Yoshinoya. The parking lot is more tight and annoying to find parking here.

I wanted to mention that I was in communication with Peggy about catering. She showed passion and attention to detail. We ended up not booking them, but she left such an impression that I have to share it! Go hire Tenju!

-no bathroom (the one inside the nearby market is NASTY though)
-unsure about wifi
-Apple Pay accepted
-no outdoor seating
-parking lot but it sux“

“One of my favorite places for a boba drink. The shop has special events for arts and crafts, kpop fans, and holidays. I go for the delicious drinks. My faves are the orange milky way, sweet pink, and strawberry mochi. The Alaska sunset, honey lemon mint tea, and fruit tea are also very good. The service has always been great. I only wish they were open later. Sometimes my boba craving hits at 830pm and it's too late 😭“

“Love the 開心果米麻糬,木薯粒&桃膠！I’d say I’ve tried most of the popular boba shops in SGV (ici/3CAT/motto/molly tea/cha redefine) and I can say this place’s the toppings is my current favorite. They are not too sweet or creamy and is hand made. This is def my new go to place for chewy and fresh toppings!!!“

“Milk foam topping on your tea ✅ Compliment your tea with a sponge cake✅. It’s all good!“

“Their rock oolong tea is really something. Smooth, slightly earthy, and just hits the right note without feeling heavy—it’s got that vibe you want when you’re taking a pause. Tbh, the place felt pretty quiet while I was there, which worked for me. Service was chill, not overly chatty but attentive enough to make you feel sorted. Not much else caught my eye, but that tea? Would defo tell my friends to try it out if they’re into oolong.“

“This Horchata boba 🧋 is delicious 🤤! The service is awesome, long lines but well worth it 🤤“

“Had the banana cream matcha and the matcha einspanner. Both were so good. The einspanner low key tasted just like airoma. I couldn’t tell the difference. They had the best banana cream matcha I ever had. Real bananas. Perfect creaminess and texture. They also don’t up charge for different milk options. They allow u to add more matcha for free too. Def my new go to spot.“

“Beautiful Design and great Boba 🧋 the best is the Hawaiian 🌺fruit drink 🍹“

“El Monte doesn’t have too many good boba spots, but Ono Tea House is a decent option. Prices here are a little lower than most places, which is nice.

The tea itself is just okay — not super strong — and the drinks can lean on the sweeter side. I usually order mine with 1/4 sugar since I don’t like them too sweet.

Overall, it’s not a spot I’d go out of my way for, but if you’re in El Monte and really craving boba, it does the job.“

“I love the strawberry yakult with aloe Vera. They even let you adjust the sweetness level and ice amount. The night shift are so sweet. Even if you’re just looking for somewhere to just sit and finish some assignments or to sit and chat it’s very cozy.“

“tried this place for the first time! I got the strawberry matcha with boba, my bf got the strawberry peach blend with popping boba and they’re SOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!! sweetest shop owner too! she even gave us the leftover smoothie from my bfs drink!!!“

“Ever since this Tea Spots (Azusa/Amar) opened my 2 daughters and I have been enjoying everything this establishment has to offer. I would suggest that most people if not all should try one time n u 2 would be hooked too. Their Milk Tea with black boba / fresh fruit smoothies, ices with fruit and can’t forget their delicious menu. They have healthy food and fried food like baked sweet potatoes fries and dinner plates also ramen bowls. They have 5$ 7$ n 9$ individual plates that are delicious. We have had most of their food and it has all been very umpslish. Try it yourself u will not be disappointed. EA“

“You can’t beat the price! Affordable and pretty good quality for the price you pay.
Favorite- passion fruit green tea with tea jelly and most of their fruit teas cost under 5$.
You can add a few toppings for free which includes- tea jelly, coffee jelly, boba pearls and pudding. Very popular so be prepared to wait in a line to place an order but the service otherwise quick.“

“Literally the best boba I have ever had in a long while. The ingredients never hurt my stomach and the boba is never hard, always perfect. The matcha is a must have. The downsides are that this place is near a HS and they close pretty early.“

“The lady staff is very knowledgeable about tea and patiently explained to me how the same group of black teas are different. I went at the good time, it was not too busy. Likely I will go again.
Hopefully there will be more vegetarian (snacks) menu in the near future.“

“The store is bright and fun. Staffs are young with joyful smile. Of course the drinks are great which bring the happy day.“

“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!“

“I got the Four Seasons (a white tea) milk tea, which I think is my new favorite tea base, with 75% sweetness, large boba, regular ice, and creme brûlée pudding (I thought I would get something I don’t often see as a topping). I am so happy with this drink! Service was fast and easy, I ordered on a kiosk and the drink was called out within 5 minutes! When I mixed in the pudding and boba, the drink was super sweet (which is what I wanted, but next time I should probably get 50% or 25% sweet or not get the creme brûlée pudding, to limit myself to a more reasonable sugar intake). The boba was perfectly chewy, on the softer side, which is what I prefer, with good flavor, and there was a generous amount. The creme brûlée made the milk tea taste like vanilla ice cream and caramel were mixed in. Soooo good. Thank you for a nice dessert stop! The shop is small but very cozy with a few seating options. Side note: I was happy to hear Now or Never from High School Musical 3 playing over the speakers when I walked in. It warmed my gen z heart.

After looking at other reviews, I also wanted to add: You can order using one of 2 kiosks, or with a cashier at the register. There is also a QR code for the menu, and a printed menu near the register. The employee called out our orders when they came out.“

“Very delicious drink, my family really love brown sugar boba milk and classic milk tea here“

“Not sure if that was a tea place for me. Firstly, it was really sweet. Even though you can choose your own preference of sweetness ( I chose 50%) my tea tasted overly sweet. I got the fruit tea. A different and distinct flavor from other fruit teas I’ve had. Both drinks tasted heavy on sweetness despite the level being 50% and other 25% . However, I would give this place another try since the flavors were distinct and the place was neat and clean.

It is a self serve and not to hang out tea place. So just order and go.“

“Just tried Teaspoon and it’s fantastic!“

“I don’t even know what to say other than you gottaaa be kiddinnnng me with how delicious the King Brulee on ice is…. Like wooooowwwww.. sweetest and best drink I’ve had in a long time. The quality of their boba itself.. chefs kiss 😙 too good“

“Recommended to us by a local restaurant owner, we took a drive over to try them out. They have an amazing fresh fruit selection (including persimmon, which I hadn’t seen before) like strawberry and watermelon (which is one of my favorites).

We like them so much we’ve made the 20 minute drive several times already during our short stay. The drinks seem to run a little sweet so I make the less sugar option. They seem to automatically add a jelly to the drink (at least the several we’ve ordered).

Overall this place is great and highly recommended“

“I have had a few of the specialty drinks (Sunset Passion and Dragon Slayer) and really enjoyed them. However the main drink I would usually get is a Mango tea and the mango puree is more of small/thin mango chunks and doesn’t really seem like it has as much mango flavor as I am used to.“

“I was so surprised to find taro ball and mini taro balls here in the US-something I used to eat all the time growing up.the texture is perfectly chewy and not overly sweet.very authentic and nostalgic .highly recommended if you’re craving Taiwanese desserts“

“We got cheesy hot Cheetos dog and mozzarella & hotdog. It was so good! Cheesy, crunchy, and such a perfect snack. I seriously wanted to get one more but somehow stopped myself lol.
Definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for good snack also with boba.“

“Saw the ad on Facebook and coincidentally found the place today. I ordered the pineapple and strawberry drink which had yakult in it. It was such a pretty drink and very enjoyable. Fast service!“

“My new favorite boba spot in town! Super friendly service, drinks that are deliciously made without a long wait, and they happily take my reusable cups for my boba orders (I think they recognize me now lol)! I'm in Walnut about twice a month and have been stopping by Goomo for my boba cravings each time.

I'm still playing around with their menu to find my favorite drink. So far I've tried the orange green tea (50% sweet, no ice with grass jelly), passion fruit bomb, and green grape yakult and they're all good! Appreciate that they make the drinks with no syrups or artificial flavors and with actual pieces of fruit for the fruit drinks. Lately, I've been digging their jumbo cups of their classic milk tea and thai tea, both come with boba and is perfect for when you want a little more bang for your buck and just more drink overall!

My first time here I was more hungry than thirsty, so I tried their popcorn chicken, which was pretty solid. I need to come back and try their other food items on the menu.

Ordering is so easy here. Use the kiosk to select and customize your drink. Make sure to sign up for the rewards too, which also sends you a text when your order is ready. I found that after I place my order at the kiosk, I just grab their attention to ask if they can make my drink in my own cup.

Plenty of seating inside to enjoy your drinks and hang out with friends. Plenty of parking too. They are also one of the few boba shops that open until 10 pm so my friends and I come by after our evening Kiwanis meetings to grab some boba.“

“I been dying to visit this boba place years. I'm not from the SG area so it took some time but the interior place was 😮 it's was like space 🌌. And I love the design of the menu. I ordered a rose and lychee fried yogurt and it's so delicious n pretty. Each has rose petals as decorations and it's sweet and tangy. Next time I need to try their jasmine yogurt and their drinks 🤤“

“South El Monte has some of the best boba in the world. South El Monte is also home to a lot of Taiwanese boba supplies companies and import so that makes people who start boba shop businesses in the South El Monte an easy access to the materials and that makes it all thrive. When I am not getting the 7Leaves down the street in South El Monte, I would come here to study Mandarin or work on software engineering projects remotely. I think South El Monte has a thriving community of Asian and boba drink lovers. Hello Boba adds another great addition to that one. Another great option is Boba Time which is also right down the same street. I love to get boba and then head to the King Taco place and drink boba with my taco.“

“The Spring Oolong Tea Milk Tea was perfect for me with its sugar adjustment. I can taste the actual tea; no powder involved. The shop itself is small and very cute. Support your local businesses! 10/10 would recommend to a friend! The tea is good.“
