“Stop the car.....this is a place you can't afford to pass by. The quality of the Boba is fantastic & yummy. The ambiance is so very quaint. The owner Kelli is very friendly. So do yourself a big favor and do not miss this place. Rene B“

“I stopped by Yin Yang Tea today for a Spam Wrap, and as always, it was delicious! Their teas are amazing, and the boba is always fresh—hands down some of the best around.

I also want to give a special shoutout to the owner. I see her almost every morning with her two little babies, and I truly admire her dedication and work ethic. Running a business is challenging on its own, and doing it while caring for two young children is incredible. She always greets customers with kindness and keeps the quality of her drinks and food consistent.

I highly recommend Yin Yang Tea. Great service, fresh ingredients, and an inspiring owner. 10/10!“

“Surprisingly spacious inside! They do have a rear lot, but street parking is probably your best bet. It’s definitely more of a social hangout than a quiet study spot, but the layout works well. Despite the crowd, service was efficient, I had my two drinks in less than 10 minutes. The peach oolong was a pleasant surprise and better than expected.“

“I loved the citrus tea.. it was delicious.“

“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“

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

“High quality milk green tea with one of the freshest bobas I’ve tasted in a while.
Most importantly, great value for this quality! #bangforyourbuck

Environment & vibe fun, cozy, & positive! Staff are friendly, offer free samples; I loved it all.“

“Awesome drinks.. everyone must try“

“my favorite place for Thai Tea. We've tried many places and this place makes their Thai Tea the best.“

“Best Honey Green tea in all Southern CA. Actually, better than the ones in Taiwan. They spare no cost in using only the best quality tea and ingredients. Once you tried theirs, you can’t go to other places anymore. Many of their bread like the red bean bun is a must try and the birthday cakes are always freshly made daily and not too sweet. They also have full sheet part tray fruit cake that are cut into 96 slices, best for large parties or events. Highly underrated and a hidden gem!“

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

“Only got take out so can't comment on the service but my interaction told me it is about what you can expect from most places in SGV. Don't judge this place by its cover. Food is really well made. This is going to be my go to place for dumpling and Beijing pie takeout.“

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

“They have a great variety, they are very welcoming, and the place has a good social vibe.“

“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.“

“Best Milk Tea spot that makes custom drinks for the rest of my crew! Very Chill Place for people who enjoy cars and Cards! 100/10
Bring your Family and Friends too while ur at it reading my Review 🫶🏼☺“

“Didn't know what to expect first timer here but it was uh-mazing. Lots of unique flavor options and for those lactose-phobic folks out there, you can customize to fit your needs and sweetness levels. Also they have the traditional plastic top covers which lets you puncture the straw thru the top - LovE! Puncturing the top is half the fun!“

“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.“

“Located inside LAX-C's plaza is ChaTraMue. It's the quintessential Thai tea joint from Thailand. It was established in 1945 and has been trusted for over 80 years.

They have a variety drinks, but they're famous for the very popular Thai iced tea. I opted for the Thai Tea Slushee, my wife the Original Thai Tea and my daughter the Sala Milk.

For the Thai tea, we opted for 70% sweetness and it was still very sweet. We'll have to try the next one down which is 30% next time we're in the area. The Original Thai Tea would've been perfect if it wasn't so sweet and same goes for the slushee. I felt that if it was less sweet, it would be perfect. Ill have to ask if I can bring down the sweetness of the slushee the next time I'm there. As for the Sala Milk, it was a hard no for everyone. I've never had this before - even in Thailand. Unfortunately, my daughter took a sip and was done with it.

Definitely will come back to try other flavors and adjust the sweetness levels of our drinks. Don't forget to grab yourself some tins of tea to take home and make in the comfort of your home!“

“Best Mango Green Tea in SoCal 🤓“

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

“I’ve been here a couple times and Jason is a real stand up guy who is very friendly and courteous. His shop is clean and he’s got tons of choices! It takes awhile just to figure out what you want out of all the choices. The location is in a shopping center I go to for other things so it is in a convenient location for me. Will keep coming!“

“If you're looking for boba in Huntington Park, I highly recommend this place. The drinks are consistently great, and the service is incredibly friendly. The staff were so kind that it made me want to come back again. Whenever I'm in Huntington Park, this will definitely be my go to spot for boba!“

“This is my first time coming here from Michigan to California. I love the popcorn chicken! The popcorn chicken is going to be my new craving that I'll miss when I leave California. Even my toddler who usually is picky, is enjoying it. I would recommend the popcorn chicken!“

“Great boba chain with consistent drink quality. I visited the store near Lunar new year time and was given red envelopes with mu purchase. I went to pick up my fav drinks with them, which are mango pomelo sago and winter melon milk tea with grass jelly!“

“I'm the type of person who loves sweet teas but unfortunately, I have to cut back on sweet stuff and it's been so hard going out and finding a refreshing drink that isn't filled with sugar. I also hate being the kind of customer that gives cashiers/barristas a hard time. But the two people that were working here today were super patient and went out of their way to accommodate my annoying needs. The tea ended up with the perfect sweetness that was refreshing and safely sedated my craving. Thank you so much. 💓 My husband and I truly appreciate it.“

“Really good drinks! Super fresh and well-balanced, not too sweet and not watered down. The tea flavor is strong and high quality.

Highly recommend the black tea ice cream — really fragrant and not too sweet. Definitely coming back again.“

“Heard good things about their drinks so finally tried it while I was in the area. I ordered through the Hungry Panda app since they had a coupon that made it cheaper or else it would be kind of pricey. I ordered the Cheesy Mango Smoothie with less sweet. They have a small storefront with only two or three tables so it's more of a grab and go boba store.

The drink was ready in around 5 minutes and it was super easy to pick up. I really liked the drink. The blended mango smoothie tasted very fresh and not artificial. And the taste of mango and cheese foam goes so well together. I can see why cheese foam is so popular with fruit smoothies.

I will be back again to try their other fruit drinks!“

“What a great spot! I frequently stop by to get a smoothie or shake, they’re all very good! If you’re with a dog, there’s a convenient walk up counter to order from, and be sure to order a pup cup for your doggie! Love how dog friendly My Friends Cafe is 🥰“

“El Monte doesn’t have too many good boba spots, but Ono Tea House is a decent option. Prices here are a little lower than most places, which is nice.

The tea itself is just okay — not super strong — and the drinks can lean on the sweeter side. I usually order mine with 1/4 sugar since I don’t like them too sweet.

Overall, it’s not a spot I’d go out of my way for, but if you’re in El Monte and really craving boba, it does the job.“

“Fresh fruit, handcrafted toppings, and drinks you won’t find anywhere else?🍊🥥🧋 Say less.

If you’re looking for your next boba spot, Lucky FruiTea in San Gabriel needs to be on your list. They specialize in premium tea drinks made with fresh, seasonal fruit and creative flavors that stand out from the usual menu.

Here’s what I tried:
🍫 Cracking Dubai Chocolate Slushy (Top 10) – rich, chocolatey, and topped with crunchy chocolate goodness.
🥭 Papaya Coconut Slushy (seasonal) – tropical, creamy, and super refreshing.
🍑 Creamy White Peach Milk Tea (Top 10) – smooth, fragrant, and perfectly peachy.
🫐 Fresh Lychee Slushy – packed with real lychee flavor and incredibly refreshing.

Don’t skip the snacks either! The Popcorn Chicken is crispy, juicy, and the perfect savory pairing for your drinks. And if you’re craving dessert, the Mashed Taro Oolong Milk Tea Gelato is creamy, earthy, and absolutely worth ordering.“

“Tried this place for the first time since I was in the area. Got a brown sugar milk tea with boba. The tea was good and not too sweet. Boba was nice and chewy. I like that I was able to order online and just pick it up. Would come back here again!“

“Love this place! Highly recommended :)“

“This place is a must stop if you are within an hour’s drive. Fire Bunny is sweet milk drink with creme brûlée topping. And Thai iced tea soft serve served with fresh hot boba?! Yes please!“

“Recommended by my partner during our date on a hot day, this boba shop is located in the back of a plaza in SGV, although a moderate size parking lot, it can fill out pretty quickly. The shop is small with no tables, only benches inside & outside, it could get pretty cramped in the shop since it was pretty busy when we arrived.

It's always nice to have a boba shop that has kiosk ordering & ordering via register. They have plentiful of menu options including specialties in oolong teas. Cups are a huge factor for me when reviewing drink shops and Chun Yang Tea is definitely on the higher quality side of cups. They're sturdy, cute design, and no spills.

My partner and I waited about 15 minutes for our drink during peak hours which is pretty quick. Highly recommend to order online ahead of time to skip waiting times.“

“The store is bright and fun. Staffs are young with joyful smile. Of course the drinks are great which bring the happy day.“

“A new tea shop opening in a crowded SGV, my wife and I visited for their grand opening weekend and we were pretty happy with the experience. Staff here for opening weekend were efficient and quick for the amount of people visiting.

There's self order kiosks as well as ordering with the cashier up front. Seating is limited but just enough for a small cafe I'd say. It's more of a grab and go spot rather than a hangout spot. Inside is pretty spacious though, mostly walking space with small tables and a wall bench. It's also pretty clean and modern. Love the tan color lighting as well as the counter design.

Their menu design is pretty big but not too big. They put a drink cup logo next to the drink options that are popular and my favorites go to the Honey Amber Oolong Milk Tea which happens to be one of their most popular drinks as well. It's refreshing and not too overwhelming. Highly recommend trying this drink.

Overall, definitely a spot that my wife and I will visit again. Their cups are definitely social media worthy as well which is nice. Sturdy cups + cute design = excellent quality.“

“Apparently This is the SPOT for Thai tea. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. Service was amazing and I got their large green Thai tea and added jiggly soft grass jelly to it. New butterfly pea milk tea which comes with basil seeds and added some silky pudding to it. And refreshing Thai tea slush that came with some creamy cheese foam. All the drinks were perfectly sweet, warmly spiced, and pretty much just tasted like your good old classic Thai teas. Overall this place was lowkey pretty good.

Green Thai tea $6.75 +$0.75 grass jelly
Butterfly pea milk tea $6.50 +$0.75 pudding
Thai tea slush $6.95“

“I have been coming here for multiple times for their drinks and so far I love it!
It is a small place for a boba shop but it is a pretty good place to chill when the place is not crowded. The servers are very nice and patient when you are ordering your drinks. The place in general are clean, even with the restroom.
The drinks are fantastic in my opinion, no matter what sweetness level you are going for. My personal favorite/ to-go are the rose cream foam milk tea or formosa ocean. Trust me, I think you will like them if you are a sweet tooth-er or Rose lover. (Good looking drinks for pictures too!)
Try their origanal flavored Formosa Umeyaki too! They are not only pretty for pictures, but crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, specifically when they are freshly made. Great desserts matching with your drinks!“

“Neighbors Tea House offers the most exception beverages and sweet treats, like their Smashed Avocado and Durian and soy pudding. I’m still making my way through their menu but there hasn’t been anything I’ve ordered that I didn’t wish I ordered a large of. Their team is exceptional, especially during COVID. You can order online to expedite your experience. Be sure to say hi to Hailey, the owner, who always comes up with these amazing beverages. Will definitely be back!“

“As part of the Medical Team stationed at the Rose Bowl during the Eaton fire we want to thank Home Brew for providing delicious coffee everyday. 😁🔥“

“The drinks were very good healthy choice“

“I have one word...tasty!!!“

“I don’t come across many boba shops that serve Four Season Tea—let alone a really good one. I ordered it with coconut jelly, and it was incredibly refreshing and well-balanced, especially perfect for a hot noon day. The tea is light, smooth, and fragrant, with a clean finish that isn’t too bitter or overpowering. The coconut jelly adds just the right touch—slightly sweet and refreshing—giving it a nice texture without taking away from the tea.

It’s simple, but done really well. On a warm day when I want something cooling but not too heavy, this is definitely my go-to!“

“This donut shop has good reviews, so I went to check it out. They have a large selection of donuts, pastries, muffins, breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, fresh juices, and lotto tickets. The donuts were tasty as was the breakfast sandwich I ordered. This is definitely worth going to if you're in the area.“

“Really nice service and very yummy boba! We ordered the strawberry matcha and butterfly coconut and they both were delicious. I needed mine without dairy but forgot to ask, she graciously offered to remake it for me at no extra charge. Thank you!“
