Shared this wonderful tea spot with my lovely wife because I was craving egg waffles and this is one of the best spots to try them.
Upon entering, the store was moderately busy, staff said that their kiosk wasn't working due to power outage, no Wi-Fi, thus their entire system wasn't working. For this specific visit only, it was cash only which was understandable because it was a super hot day. Regardless, this time visiting was even better than all the other times I've...read full review

The ladies at the counter are always very kind and helpful, and quick. The drinks always come out perfect and the boba always has just the right amount of chew. The food is always perfectly crispy and taste great, I usually don’t even bother with the dipping sauces - not because they’re bad, the food just tastes great on its own. Strongly recommend.

Bubble Puff & Tea Cafe is a favorite dessert spot in Pasadena, celebrated for its delicious bubble puff pastries like the Red Bean with Bananas. The pastries are warm, crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside, almost like a pancake with ice cream and whip cream on the side. Their boba drinks are refreshing and made fresh with a 10-minute wait, allowing customers to choose their level of sweetness and ice. The house milk tea, fresh fruit green teas, and Osmanthus Green Milk Tea are rich, flavorful, and refreshing, and the boba pearls have the right chewy texture. The cafe has a super casual vibe, with a big screen for ordering, friendly staff, and plenty of seating. It is clean, bright, and deceptively spacious inside, with free Wi-Fi, lots of table space, and a parking lot in the back. The menu includes food options like gyoza, chicken Teri bowl, and matcha egg waffles, which have received positive feedback for their taste. This cute place is great for studying or chilling, offering a delightful experience with tasty treats and good pricing. Many visitors are eager to return.
