“Mango on snow was very good“

“Super cute shop, love that they've got little trinkets to buy!! Seating inside and out, lots of smoothie and drink options. Also can adjust the sweetness of your drink, we love this for when our sweet tooth is extra hungry🥰🥰 little bit of a line but that just means the place is popping out awesome product, line also moved super fast and the employee was very nice, this was our first time here. Prices were also good and drinks were incredibly delish!!“

“It was my first time coming to Chapresso. I was really impressed that they used tea leafs to make the tea. The tea tasted great! They also had good service. The simple design of the place is inviting but the space is limited. However, they do have open sitting outside the shop.“

“I ordered their Hokkaido milk tea with boba at 50% sweetness. It was my first time trying Hokkaido here and the flavor is not my favorite so I would opt for a regular milk tea next time. The boba was chewy and tasted good and the employee working at the time was friendly. I’d come again to try their other drinks if I’m in the area.“

“My favorite fruit tea shop in LA, very fresh and delicious! Moreover, the staff’s attitude is very good, and the boss is also very nice! Even though we live in Ktown, we can’t help but come here often haha~ I hope I can keep up the good work!“

“Walked in to the cutest boba store ever! The drinks all looked so good, and couldn't decide but ended up ordering the Calamansi Citrus Refresher. It was so refreshing and the cups that come with it are absolutely adorable!! 10/10 recommend!“

“My wife and I checked out Min Min House in Alhambra, a real hole-in-the-wall spot with a no-frills vibe. There’s basically no service—you scan a QR code to order, and they bring the food when it’s ready. The dumplings were solid, definitely a highlight. The cucumber salad was fantastic, super fresh and authentic. Hot and sour soup, though? Not my thing—couldn’t get used to the flavor. The beef pie stole the show with its thin, crispy skin and juicy filling. Scallion pancake was just okay, nothing special. The xiao long bao was tasty with soft, flavorful skins. Overall, they’ve got some great dumplings worth trying. Parking’s either on the street or in the back lot.“

“New Boba spot and I love it. Their prices are very reasonable and I love that their boba is always fresh and soft. I always order off the swirl menu. Add creme brulee to your drink. They also have fries, onion rings, and cheese sticks. Love the plain cheese sticks, only thing missing is the marinara sauce. They give ranch but I don't like their ranch. It tastes weird. I tried the plain onion rings extra crispy. They are ok but leave a grainy after taste. I'll stick to the cheese sticks. But I love their boba. I go almost every day“

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

“Good spot for tea. They have a pretty unique selection of different types of drinks and the interior is very chill and clean. Lots of seating for big and small groups. The drinks are prepared well and look pretty. Staff are very friendly. Overall a good option to grab a drink and chill with friends.“

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

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

“I was very impressed by the taste of the teas. The milk tea has a strong flavor and the fruit teas are very refreshing. This place has reasonable prices and also often runs promotions! The place has a cute aesthetic and has board games to borrow.“

“有趣的音樂 打眼的綠色 好喝的果肉“

“Awesome drinks…Awesome people…Awesome place!! So happy we stumbled across this cute shop. We couldn’t of asked for a better experience! We will definitely be back the next time we are in LA 💜“

“Very delicious drink, my family really love brown sugar boba milk and classic milk tea here“

“One of the boba places I tried next to Menya Hanabi. This isn’t a place to really sit down, it is a place to get your drink and go. There are two self serve touch screens where you can place your order, and it is nice that your name will show up on the screen to let you know approximately when your drink is ready. It seems this is a franchise so there are other places that serve the same, but this was my first experience and I think it is worth a try.

I decided to give the waffle a try, my kid enjoyed it. The passion fruit drink I got was decent, but the seeds inside were quite hard.

I like how modern the place is, but it seems to be a lot more pricier than some other places that I have been to in this city. I think my bill for 5-6 drinks and a snack was about $60. I believe I could have gone to another place and max would have been $40.

Worth a try, if especially if you are eating in the plaza. Until next time“

“I ordered the taro pearl milk tea and the spicy popcorn chicken. I wasn't expecting real taro in the tea but it was a delicious surprise. This is really Bobacraft! The vibes of the place are really chill too. So it's no wonder why students love going here after school. Overall, this is a great boba place!“

“Great boba place. I came here after a walk as the sun was beaming and this place was a nice break.

I ordered a Dancing Crane Black Tea, and it was great. It was recommended to me, and I can see why, due to its sweet and milky. The boba was a bit chewy but light.

The atmosphere of the shop was open and clean, and the cashier who recommended me the drink was very nice (Thank you Lucy).

I recommend coming here.“

“japanese rice tea/milk tea.“

“Loved it 😍 refreshing, tasty and good customer service.“

“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.“

“Pretty good experience at this Tea Shop compared to other location I went to in Rowland. They have two order yourself stations and I was able to take a look more closely this time at their selection. This is located at the front, and although there isn’t any seating, besides a bench, you could take your drink and walk inside towards the food court.

I tried and enjoyed the Sunlight Fruit Tea. Got it with less sugar and less ice.

We got our drinks really fast, it was clean, what else can you ask for at a Boba place?“

“wonderful drinks and great service!!“

“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!!“

“I have made boba stops every day this week while I’ve been in LA. I had the strawberry matcha drink. It was decent for what it is but the strawberry that is used seems to be a syrup base which wasn’t my personal preference. Reminded me of what gets used in a McDonalds strawberry sundae.

Again drink was not bad, just wasn’t my personal preference from other strawberry matches he had.

I found the cafe very cute and spacious :)“

“I have had a few of the specialty drinks (Sunset Passion and Dragon Slayer) and really enjoyed them. However the main drink I would usually get is a Mango tea and the mango puree is more of small/thin mango chunks and doesn’t really seem like it has as much mango flavor as I am used to.“

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

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

“There are a lot of traditional Taiwanese breads inside, which really brings back memories of my childhood, but the two clerks felt awkward standing there... I don’t know how to describe it, but the price of the bread is very good, and I will come again.“

“Little shop inside the market. I always come here for the popcorn chicken! I’m always on the hunt for the perfect popcorn chicken and let me tell you this place is freshly made. The crispiness is perfect. They have different spice levels and 10 out of 10 satisfaction . If you’re more hungry, they have other food options and lots of drink options with boba too. The staff don’t speak that much English pretty much Chinese only but you can point at the menu and you’ll be fine. There is plenty of parking outside, so you will never struggle to look for that. If you have time to kill, the market is directly connected to this spot so you can take a stroll inside the market as well.“

“butter cookie coffee 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀“

“We have been going to Boba Box since it was still doing the soft opening. We drive about 15-20 mins just to come here. My family found a new boba place that actually accommodate everybody drinking favorite. I don’t have to drive to Rowland Heights for Half And Half then go to West Covina for BYOB and OneZo. Then go to Dunkin Donuts for Matcha latte. Boba Box is amazing and drinks always comes out the same taste every time. Just the right coldness and amount of toppings. Keep it up the good work.“

“We loved stopping in after an afternoon in the gardens nearby. Had a refreshing boba on a hot day. You can even choose the level of sweetness and ice! They had a combo where you get a sandwich and a basic tea for free! Good pricing and great quality. We will be back!“

“Really cute place to visit! Ordered the matcha crème brûlée and brown sugar fresh milk and very surprised with taste. I’m usually picky with my matcha drinks, and this was a good option for me. Staff are also very friendly and would recommend this place!“

“Love this store very much! Old customer! ! ! ! Recommend Pink Peach Planet! ! ! And their milk tea! ! ! It tastes really good! ! ! I haven’t tried the others, but my friends said they tasted delicious.

Kid-friendliness: It tastes great, feel free to eat it! ! ! Very clean, no need to worry about food safety issues“

“First time trying this place. Loved their teas and the super cute random photos on the top! ❤️🎁🎄🎅🏻“

“This place’s tea quality was phenomenal. I got one of the signature drinks, you get a cup that’s reusable too, and if you want topping they can give it on the side because there is no customization with the signature drinks. The boba was QQ and hot!“

“I have been trying various milk tea places in the area to find a place that would cater milk tea for my upcoming wedding. My wife could not have the wedding without having milk tea served to the guests. My wife and I tried the champ milk tea here and decided that this place was the one. Their portions are much larger than other shops, and the tea flavor is pronounced and not covered by sugar/milk. The manager, Ryan, was super helpful in preparing our bulk order for the wedding, and it was a major hit during our wedding. Definitely come here for their various milk tea flavors, and also highly recommend their Kumquat green tea! Thank you Tea Champ!“

“Ok, so this tea place is definitely in my top 5 drink spots. I love that they have so many flavors and mix/match options. The employees are always nice and patient. They always give great recommendations if I ask. And they have a fridge with discounted pre-made drinks that I love to grab. The triple shot is my favorite!“

“Certified! If it’s your first time here start with the Superior Milk Tea (50% sugar of course). The price is reasonable around $4.50-$7 and the lady was very friendly. Their art and cups are really cool too.

Parking: Big strip mall lot

Kid-friendliness: Lots of drinks“

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

“I love the smell of boba being made whenever I enter the shop. It’s a small comfy shop with cute plants around. Huge cups. Very friendly. Their boba tastes great. They actually have flavor and taste like they’ve been cooked with brown sugar, not bland at all. Ono Tea House is my favorite!! :^DI’ve been getting boba here about once a month for about a year now.I’ve had their thai milk tea, house milk tea, honeydew green milk tea, guava yogurt, lychee yogurt, strawberry yogurt, and peach yogurt. All yummy! I have ordered in-store and over the phone for pickup. Never had a bad experience so far. :^D“

“So many choices of teas, everything was brewed fresh for the cup.

Got the dragonwell milk tea and the hojicha milk tea. The dragonwell had a subtle woody flavor, I'm glad I did half sweet bc the sweetness might have masked it. The hojicha was very good, probably one of the best hojicha milk teas I've had.

The barista with the red and orange short hair was so incredibly kind and welcoming!!“

“Great fruit drink and milk tea“

“It’s always the best specially serves as a desserts 🍨 after dining out in the area. It’s always my last destination for satisfaction!!! Good job Yummy ❤️💚💜💙🖤🧡“

“Loved my mango slush with ice cream and Brown Sugar Boba. It tasted like fresh mango and then got creamy with the ice cream. I did 75% sugar but next time I'll go 50% because of the ice cream. My partner had a cheese foam matcha drink and enjoyed it. We visited with some friends and their 5yo kids tried boba for the first time and liked the strawberry slush with strawberry boba.“

“So glad we randomly found this place when searching for lunch in Buena Park area. We got their Spicy Chicken Garlic Noodles & Kimchi Fried Rice. Both were delicious! Kimchi Rice wasn’t spicy, had a nice zest and was a good portion size. However, be careful if you’re a vegetarian! It came with some meat(spam and pork). Garlic noodles weren’t overpowering and cooked to perfection!“

“Awesome drinks.. everyone must try“
