Bon Appetea Cafe - San Gabriel

Great service and yummy food.

Nice selection -awesome taste.

I have been coming here several years now. excellent place to stop and have quick drink or bite to eat. They have large menu of reasonable priced Taiwanese style box lunch too. They make super boba tea, milk tea, so many others and my favorite Mango Green tea with lichee jelly. The staff are very attentive and professional. Everything is made correctly and fast. The food has great flavor. I wanted to mention Mingqi and Queena for the super professional service and fantastic people skills. They are always friendly and answer all the questions I might have. How many of the other cafe and restaurants remember your favorite drink?? These ladies are amazing. The owner is lucky to have such talented staff.

Kid-friendliness: I have seen all kinds kids -- from elementary through middle school and older. No issues. everyone gets great service including old guys like me who need a break between meetings with clients.

The service attitude was very bad, especially a short red-haired waiter who really vomited?

Their selection of drinks is, in my opinion, limited. Essentially 99% of their drinks have some type of caffeine in them, be it tea or coffee. However, they make up for lack of selection in drink with selection of snacks. I got egg rolls and fried calamari and they were sooo good! They also have restrooms and some comfy seating inside. Really chill vibes.

They have the best fried fish tempura in town. Always ask for extra crispy.

There is a new owner, and now this restaurant is a chain store. The snacks are good and delicious. I have come all the way to try it.

Ordered through Uber Eats and got the Matcha Salted Cheese Foam ($5). Since I did not personally visit the store, I can't comment on the service or atmposhere. However, based on my Uber app, the drinks were prepared quite fast.As for the taste, it was much better than expected! The matcha flavor is very strong and authentic tasting. It went very well with the salted cheese foam whether you mixed it or drank it as it was.Their cups are also very good quality! They are sturdy and have a good grip. It also is thicker so the coldness doesn't go right through. The cup's design is also smart. They have a little push down plug-like closure over the sip and then a little hole for you to put it there while drinking. The lid is also nice and sturdy enough that I could shake the cup a bit.Would definitely visit again in person!

I go here every week because I always feel welcomed and it's chill, plus the drinks aren't bad. Today, at around 12 pm the worker honestly treated me like an enemy. It still pisses me off how she talked to me. It isn't a language barrier, she literally didn't want to talk to me. I just walked into the store, ready to place my usual order, and she was being curt, rude, and hostile.Next time, if I see her, I'm going across the street to the other boba places in the area.

I’m actually being nice with this 4/5 rating. My experiences say it’s 3/5. We love coming here for the tea and chicken combo. They have signs for “ happy hour” or specials and when we went, no body spoke about it or charged us regular. The teenagers that work there for sure hate it. Poor professionalism, they rush you to order and get upset if you take a little longer to over see their complicated menu. It’s sad cause we support this place, but man I really wanted launch my boba at the asian girl for her attitude. But the boba tea was too good to waste.

They have the most delicious teahouse entrees, and the calamari is absolutely heavenly!!! The calamari is marinated, fried, and seasoned to flavorful perfection.?

price is not as written on the menu and is more expensive. the one in Arcadia is better. Please don’t buy the beef stew ❤️

Glad i took this recommendation. They have parking. Taro slush was better than other taro bobas ive had. Taro was sweet not too much and boba texture was good too. I like that this place has spicy levels for the calamari (mild, medium, hot and real hot) i got the medium and the calamari were good they had just the right amount of seasoning and i also tried some of my friend’s green beans mmm also good theyre both like snack portions though so youd have to eat a lot of them if you want to get a meals worth. Anyway, cute seating inside and outside, not a lot of seats but cute place to c h i l l ✨ definitely recommend for a quick snack or boba
