Tea Restaurants near Monrovia, CA

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

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

“Our first time here and so far so good and the Strawberry Limeade it very delicious. I will definitely be going again.“

“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.“

“Ordered a pineapple oolong tea with 25% sweetness but it was still just as sweet as honey. I asked the employee to remake it and he suggested doing zero percent sweetness level. The new drink tasted perfect because the pineapple jams sweetness balanced the zero sugar tea. I also tried my friends traditional milk tea with no sweetness adjusted and it was delicious. The drink itself wasn't too sweet and milk tasted like soymilk. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area.“

“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.“

“I was doing a happy return nearby, and Ulta ran out of boxes to do returns and it’s over 100 degrees out today. So gotcha tea is right next door, and it was empty but clean and well air conditioned. The staff was quick with making my drink. It’s been awhile since I’ve gotten tea here but honestly a great place if you just want a quick sweet treat. I got a mango green tea 75% sweet with reg ice and rainbow jelly, could have done 50% but loved the drink. Usually hate when I can’t taste the tea for flavored teas but it was perfect today.“

“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.“

“My friend recommend this place and I gotta say, it was one of the best drink places I’ve been so far. It has great boba tea and has awesome customer service. It’s great on a hot day with the mild air conditioning and cold drinks. Would 100% recommend this place.“

“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 😃🩷🩷“

“Booked a tea tasting with Imen through her online website with a friend. We both did the Chao zhou style which is so unique! As an avid tea drinker, I don't come across the chao zhou brewing method often so it was such a unique experience. My friend flew in from Philadelphia for this! Imen is highly reputable as a tea master in the Los Angeles area and popular for her Phoenix Oolong Tea. I originally found her through the Reddit and was so excited to get an appointment with her. We bought so many teas after. Highly recommend for an authentic gong fu tea tasting and experience!! I will be back to try her other tea classes and workshops.“

“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!“

“Got the chicken katsu curry here. The curry here is pretty close to perfection for me. Of course it’s down to preference, but the consistency was spot on and the flavor was amazing and had a bit of fruitiness to it and it had little chunks of carrot and potato in it. Chicken went well with the curry, was tender, and had good breading. Absolute gem.“

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

“I came for the Pu-erh tea and left with a ton of goodies! ❤

Judy and Lilly went above and beyond helping me find some amazing teas. The selection is incredible, and I also found some beautiful teaware to bring home.

What really impressed me was the service. Judy carefully checked everything I purchased to make sure there were no flaws and helped pack everything securely for my six-hour drive back home. The entire staff was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely sweet.

They also convinced me to get a membership, and I ended up saving quite a bit of money! I even tried to tip Judy and Lilly for all their help, but they both politely refused and said, “It’s our job.” True professionals who really care about their customers.

Thank you, Judy, Lilly, and the entire staff for making my trip so worthwhile. I’ll definitely be back! ❤🫖“

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

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

“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“

“Wonderful boba tea! Delicious food as well! :)“

“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.“

“Beat boba milk tea. 😀😀😀😀“

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

“Within the Shops at Santa Anita, so huge parking space and you could swing by while shopping or grabbing foods. The store was relatively quiet on Sunday noon, but the variety of items they carried was pretty complete and came at reasonable price.

We got Tolak Angin, herbal drink from Indonesia, which was pretty hard to get here in US at decent price. Checkout process went seamless and swift with friendly attentive attendant.“

“They definitely have some unique flavors to try, many of which I haven’t seen before in any other boba places. I really like the cassia milk tea
The prices though, are also higher than most other places. I paid $24 for 3 drinks, one of which was $8.65 (the popcorn milk tea with brown sugar tapiochi).
The drinks are good and the flavors can’t be found most other places, but I don’t personally think they’re over $8 worth it
I’d definitely only come rarely for an occasional indulgence“

“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.“

“First time at Formosa Aroma. I was satisfied with the drinks we ordered and it’s a nice place with reasonable prices.

We ordered a fruit tea, and two milk teas with the tri-flavor taro balls and boba.

The teas were good quality. The sweetness seemed a bit off. The fruit tea at 30% seemed sweeter than expected and the milk tea at 50% seemed not as sweet. However, this is subjective.

The service was excellent and the was friendly and helpful.

The interior had lots of natural light, ample seating and was clean with a relaxing environment.

The menus were large and easy to read and the prices appeared in line with other places.

Famosa has three locations and is Taiwanese owned, the home of 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...“

“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 🙏🏼“

“"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."“

“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.“

“All good good place the pancakes is fenomenal“

“有趣的音樂 打眼的綠色 好喝的果肉“

“Out of all the 3CATEA spots, this is one of my favorites. What used to be Bambu is now 3CATEA. This shop has moderate size compared to the others with plenty of seating inside. The decorations inside are very cute and nice vibes overall. Plus points for self ordering kiosks to avoid long wait times as this shop gets busy very often. Ordering online via Snackpass is highly recommended as well.

Parking can be found in the rear lot, street parking, and curbside parking is available as well.
| love this spot specifically, very quick with orders, friendly staff, and drinks are pretty great here. I have plenty of go to drinks here but the stand out is definitely the Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea. It's super refreshing, and a drink that I always prefer whenever I can't decide on other choices.

This spot is very cute overall, very modern and easy to order. Perfect grab and go type boba shop, no complaints overall and one of my top spots around SGV.“

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