I’ve been coming to Tea Spots in Pasadena since 2018, usually 2–3 times a month. I used to love this place, but in the past year the service has gone downhill. My orders are wrong more often than not — for example, ordering a super-sized drink and being given a regular. When I let the cashier know, I’m told I have to pay the difference (which I don’t mind), but then I have to wait for them to remake it. It should be correct the first time. I’ve also had my chicken and fries come without ranch, sometimes it’s included, other times I’m told to pay extra. The inconsistency is frustrating. When I point out mistakes, especially during the evening shift when a male cashier is working, I’ve been met with attitude instead of a simple fix. Lunch service is usually fine, but evenings are a gamble and often inconvenient for me and my friends. I want to keep supporting this place, but the repeated mistakes and poor customer service are making it hard to recommend anymore.

I Ordered a matcha milk tea, theres no matcha in this and I can feel the sugar crunching between my teeth while drinking. Im sorry but what is this. This isnt matcha. They use matcha flavouring not real matcha

I come for the crispy chicken but the other dishes look good too. In 2025, this is still a good place to get a good portion lunch for less than $10! And the drinks are yummy

This is my favorite spot. I love their sesame balls and their crispy fish nuggets. Their boba is bomb too. They have many non- dairy options.

Great boba drinks, and the food is good, too. Had the miso soup 🍲 it had great flavor, not everyone can get miso right.

Yet another boba shop, though this one is right across from PCC. Their menu is surprisingly extensive; I like their chrysanthemum, lychee icy, and the soba dish.
Parking sucks though. Not enough spots and it's shared with other businesses that are quite busy in a run down plaza. It's only really convenient if you're coming from PCC or Old Town and can walk over here.
