50 Best Bubble Tea near Monrovia

“Not really a Boba fanatic but came here with some friends and had some refreshing and ultra delicious Taro Tea with Boba. It was so chilled and yummy that I will definitely come back as well as on Tuesdays as they have some size-up deal. They make their own Boba! Quality and taste is tops🏅🏅🏅“

“First time stoped by after getting my hair done. Beautiful inside and great customer service. Ordered there new drink a watermelon lemonade with lychee so refreshing.“

“Tried this place for the first time since I was in the area. Got a brown sugar milk tea with boba. The tea was good and not too sweet. Boba was nice and chewy. I like that I was able to order online and just pick it up. Would come back here again!“

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

“We stopped by Hai Cha for boba tea after visiting the museum. The owner greeted us right away as we walked through the door. He's super friendly and he was very welcoming. We got Hai Cha special milk tea with boba. Waffle was boba. Yogurt smoothie and mango smoothie. The size of the smoothies were huge. We enjoyed our food.“

“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.“

“BEYOND 5 STARS The Owner Is So Nice Friendly Humble And Hardworking You Have To Come And Get Your REFRESHING DRINK TODAY TOMMOROW AND THE WHOLE SUMMER GREAT PRICES HERE REMEMBER TO GIVE THEM YOUR NUMBER SO YOU CAN GET POINTS AND LEAVE A GREAT REVIEW!! 😊“

“A decent boba spot in Pasadena. I always wished they had more toppings. But all their drinks are good and consistent. They have a really small parking lot with Afters IceCream. But there’s plenty of street parking all around. I usually get their fresh jaded green mountain tea with black and white boba. I like almost all their drinks and the aesthetic vibes of the cafe. But I wish there was a restroom and more space area to sit and enjoy the tea there.“

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

“Awesome drinks.. everyone must try“

“After I was introduced to this boba store, no exaggeration, as people around me and store workers would know, I have been coming almost every day. I get the fruit tea (large) which is only $4. It’s so rare—I haven’t seen another store—that is as affordable and whose drink quality is still high. It feels like every coffee shop or boba shop is selling drinks for $7-10. Their drink is really good. I get 0 ice 0 sugar and it still tastes good (you know a tea place isn’t good if you get 0 sugar and then it tastes bitter/bad). Also with the 0 ice, I like that they aren’t just replacing the ice with water, but chilling more tea to top it off. They have internet, parking in back, and tables to study/do work.“

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

“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.“

“Best Honey Green tea in all Southern CA. Actually, better than the ones in Taiwan. They spare no cost in using only the best quality tea and ingredients. Once you tried theirs, you can’t go to other places anymore. Many of their bread like the red bean bun is a must try and the birthday cakes are always freshly made daily and not too sweet. They also have full sheet part tray fruit cake that are cut into 96 slices, best for large parties or events. Highly underrated and a hidden gem!“

“popcorn chicken is tasty and the shaved ice is delicious. will come back“

“Wish i was living very close to this amazing place … as soon as I stepped in , i knew it will be more then great. It smelled like home food, not like a restaurant , i got lamb pancakes, oh god it was soooo good, juicy , flavorful, i even almost cried when realized only one left out of 4… only one bad thing about it, i want it MOOORREEE!!! :)“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“Tried Bobacraft Cafe for the first time today — came for the boba, ended up blown away by the food.

Got the Taiwanese popcorn chicken bento and tofu pudding dessert. The popcorn chicken was crispy, seasoned exactly the way it should be — you know the kind if you’ve had it from a night market stall. Not toned down, not over-sauced, just right. The tofu pudding was smooth and comforting in that quiet, classic way that’s hard to explain if you haven’t grown up with it.

Honestly didn’t expect the flavors to feel this close to what I remember from Taiwan. It’s the kind of food that makes you a little nostalgic without trying too hard.

The one thing that stood out to me was the interior visuals — they don’t quite match the personality of the food yet. The flavors have a real identity, a genuine Taiwanese street snack soul, but the posters and branding inside the shop haven’t caught up. I actually put together a few poster redesigns during my meal to share with them — felt like a small way to give back after food that good. Hope they find it useful.“

“Really nice service and very yummy boba! We ordered the strawberry matcha and butterfly coconut and they both were delicious. I needed mine without dairy but forgot to ask, she graciously offered to remake it for me at no extra charge. Thank you!“

“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.“

“Ming Cha is such a cozy cute cafe with lots of cute decor. The cafe is small but has some seating area and some board games to play with as well. Parking is shared with other businesses but there were enough areas for parking. The staff were super friendly and on point. Had assistance with some recommendations since we were quite indecisive with our choices since there were too many good options to choose from.

Got to try:
Roasted Black Sesame
Jasmine Matcha
Omanthus Oolong Milktea
Mango White Peach!

The drinks were light, refreshing, and wasn’t too sweet; it paired well with the cream tops. Would love to try some of their other items in the future!“

“Great fruit drink and milk tea“

“our best nights here in jin teahouse great location convenient friendly staff and best place to hangout with your friends and also great best place for dates.... its actually they good selection of food most recommended place...“

“We ordered: Peach Typhoon, Mango Pomelo Sago, Basil Seed Wintermelon Calamansi Tea, Black Sesame Midnight.

Our first time here. A lot of foot traffic coming and going. Everything tasted wonderful, the right amount of tea flavor and sweetness in every drink. So many different drinks to choose from, will definitely come back to try more.“

“Giving this a 5 star rating all around although the guy at the register wasn’t necessarily the friendliest however I can admit he seemed like a hard worker, he was at the register then the back making our order so it’s ok. Everyone there seemed to be having an amazing time hanging out. My husband and I were just in the area and decided to check out the nearest boba place and I’m glad we landed here (wink), hubby got a Thai tea, I know he’s so basic lol and I got the pink peach tea both with boba. I would definitely order my drink again, so delicious. We also got the honeydew yogurt squares and omggg I def recommend them I wish I would have gotten atleast another flavor to try.“

“Friendly service... good for everyone’s and good taste drink. Love boba time drinks“

“This place got some new drinks. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their new choco strawberry frosty and strawberry Hokkaido milk tea to try. The frosty had an icy, rich, deeply chocolatey base with a creamy, tangy, cheesey strawberry foam. Legit a desert drink. My fave was definitely the strawberry Hokkaido milk tea tho. Very floral, milky, and sweet, with plenty of jiggly strawberry jellies. Overall these were lowkey pretty good.

$7.25 frosty
$6.50 milk tea“

“Neighbors Tea House offers the most exception beverages and sweet treats, like their Smashed Avocado and Durian and soy pudding. I’m still making my way through their menu but there hasn’t been anything I’ve ordered that I didn’t wish I ordered a large of. Their team is exceptional, especially during COVID. You can order online to expedite your experience. Be sure to say hi to Hailey, the owner, who always comes up with these amazing beverages. Will definitely be back!“

“There's no denying that boba flows through my veins and a place like Sunright only adds to the obsession. This location is tiny - very little parking is available on the streets and this being situated next to a high school means they get BUSY after school gets out. You have enough space to order either at the counter or on the kiosk, with the latter being preferred. On my recent visit, they ran out of boba on a Friday afternoon and I was gutted. I still went with another topping with my Oolong Milk Tea with Soy Milk, which was a solid substitute but not quite the same without my black pearls. Tea quality was fantastic and I enjoyed my drink. However, my friend ordered their Grapefruit Tea with Boba and omg... one of the best fruit teas that I've ever had from a boba shop. I immediately regretted relying on my milk tea to quench my thirst and should have gone the fruity route. I'm taking note for the next time I am in the area.“

“My family and I frequent here quite often and every single time, the drinks were on point! Thai tea, Thai-chata, strawberry vortex, pineapple escape, milky way taro, polar pomegranate are just a few that I've tried and would recommend but everything including food is so good. Their customer service is also great! Always a pleasant experience for us. We've "cheated" and have gone to other boba places when traveling but it's not the same. Twisteas definitely has our loyalty!“

“customer service and delicious tea ! love this place!“

“有趣的音樂 打眼的綠色 好喝的果肉“

“Always great service. Dropped my boba when i got home so i went back for another and they replaced it no charge! Love being a regular ☺️“

“I went crazy because they have a lot of things here, but they specifically shake something 17 times here’s what you should know… Number one everything is super delicious here so it gets really easy to become addicted to it

I had to do the Matcha latte with pistachio cheese foam. I went less ice and I went crème brûlée on the flavor of the foam and it was delicious. This is way too good. The ordering is simple. It’s a touchscreen process. You’ll be issued a number and you will not regret those drinks!!“

“japanese rice tea/milk tea.“

“New spot in SGV! Came back a few times now to try different things. Everything has actually been pretty good, so I thought it was worth a review. Personal fav is the Purple taro cheese slush! First taro drink I've tried with actual taro bits in it. Bomb! Also recommend the Superfruit Cup if you want something fruity. Very refreshing and has real chunks of fruit in it.

Overall the drinks are really tasty and made with quality ingredients compared to other spots that mostly just use syrup and flavoring. Definitely curious to try all the other stuff on their menu. Plenty of parking in the lot too which is a big plus!“
