Parking: Since it's in the mall, it may not be the most convenient stop if you're looking for a quick visit. I ordered the mango mochi milk drink with slight sweetness, which was perfect for me. The balance between the milk and sweetness was just right. The mango had a jelly-like purée consistency, possibly mixed with syrup. I really liked how the mochi was soft and silky--it definitely had less chew and sweetness than boba, but I thought it was a great alternative. All in all, I would come back again! read more

I've been here three times within a week because of how good the drinks are. I got the seasonal Cheese Peach and ITS SO GOOD!! The peach is so fresh and you can taste the chunks of fresh peach inside the drink. Their cheese foam is also delicious and balances out the sweetness of the fruit so well. Another drink I tried is the Avomango Sweet Dew. It's a pretty thick and filling drink and it kept me full for hours. I really enjoyed the mix of avocado, mango, and pomelo. I also liked how they include agar boba as part of the drink. You really get a mix of textures in this drink. They have a self order kiosk inside but you can also order on your phone. The drinks come out pretty fast after ordering. read more

We recently visited this new location at Arcadia Mall, which has taken over the previous Taiwanese café that didn't quite make it. The new boba chain specializes in drinks with mochi, which is a delightful twist. As a long-time fan of their barley mochi drink from other locations, I was excited to try this brand new spot to checkout their service But my wait time was longer than expected, as there's only one tablet station for placing orders. The shop still has the outside seating at the corner of this foot traffic intersection, which makes it a good place to meetup for a boba run. read more

On the pricier side for drinks but I'm obsessed with their Barley Burst drink. I love the drinkable mochi and the chewy barley bits so much. For that drink, they offer oat milk as a substitute but it costs extra which sucks if you're vegan or lactose intolerant (me). They can get busy but service is usually pretty quick, and they have plenty of seats inside and outside while you're waiting. read more

Drinks are great, just don't expect any customer service. I ordered 17 drinks for work and asked if they can help me bring some of the drinks to the car, flat out told me no. There were 5-6 workers standing there, no customers in the shop, none of them are making drinks. This is the third time I made big order too. First time was great, there was a girl who helped me carry some. Second and third- told me no. This is probably the last time I will order from here. I'll support elsewhere. My one star is strictly on their customer service. read more

3cat mango mochi drink is sooooo good. I'll go out of my way to drive here for it. Unfortunately their system is flawed because you'll wait 30min for your drink while it's sitting on the counter. They make 30 drinks at a time and then call out customer names. Not the best experience when you're here but maybe the drinks are worth it... idk it's up to you lol :) read more

OVERALL : Finally had a chance to try this new boba shop that I've been hearing so much about, and I can see why there's a line for them during peak hours now! The self order kiosk is quick and easy + and their employees are kind and helpful. Drinks can take a little while to come out if they're busy, but not excessive on the day I went. The drinks can be on the pricey side if you're getting additional toppings, but I do think you get what you pay for. Their drinks are all fruit -and tea- forward instead of tasting like syrup. I like that they have barley boba, tea jelly, mochi, (and more!) as toppings which you cannot find at normal boba shops. Sweetness adjustments are also very appreciated. PARKING : This shop is located on the outside promenade area of the Arcadia Mall / "The Shops at Santa Anita". This is a big mall with multiple parking lots inside and outside. Parking can be a lil rough during peak hours, but you'll find something after a little while. I like to park in the Macy's indoor/underground lot and take the escalators up to the promenade. FOOD/DRINKS : Avomango Sweet Dew - Fresh Avocado Smoothie w/ Coconut Milk, House Made Milk, Agar Boba, Pomelo, Mango Mochi Mango - Milk Smoothie, Fresh Mango, Handmade Rice Mochi, Whipped Cream, Wafer Crunch Icy Peach - fresh peach smoothie with diced peach chunks Mochi Barley Burst - floral black milk tea + barley popping boba + handcrafted mochi My favorite was the Icy Peach! They said it has 4 fresh white peaches per cup and the taste def comes through. Super refreshing! I also enjoyed the Mochi Barley Burst. The floral milk tea was good, but the barley boba was the highlight for me! Loved the chewy popping texture. read more

Located outside in the promenade, across from the Qin West Noodle shop. Pretty solid tea spot with a large variety of drinks. I got the osmanthus oolong with the soybean mousse, no added sugar. The osmanthus was very floral so I loved that. The soybean mousse without added sugar didn't add much flavor though, so it's more for texture. Not much seating with only a handful of chairs inside and a few tables outside. Very quick to make the drinks with option to order on a screen or with a cashier. read more

This mall has great boba options, with 3CAT being one of them. + Lime Explosion ($6.95 + $1 Osmanthus Oolong Tea Jelly; Jasmine Longya Green Tea with minimal sugar): mashed and shaken up lime gives the best sweetly sour refreshing taste.

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Mango mochi - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Surrounded by plenty of competition, this rather new addition to Arcadia Mall caught my eye with their unique drink choices and toppings. Off the bat, I noticed that this wasn't necessarily a boba shop, but rather a dessert drink shop. They don't really advertise their boba in their displays (despite offering 3 types of boba), but rather other toppings like mochi, cheese mousse, and barley popping boba. Ordering was straight forward. They have a little kiosk for you to order with and will call your name when your drink is ready. I was intrigued by the thought of mochi as a topping, along with barley popping boba, so I ordered the Mochi Barley Burst. As a certified Asian, you just KNOW I ordered it with "less sugar"! First sip and I was confused and blown away at the same time. POP! went the boba leaving a piece of barley in my mouth, like HUH?! Delicious. The barley reminded me of oats in a way that it felt so satiating. This was practically a MEAL. And then the mochi - the texture was so unusually satisfying because it was slightly more viscous than regular mochi while also retaining its QQ chew. Adding viscosity to mochi in order to make it drinkable through a straw = GENIUS. And BURST that barley did. Mochi Barley Burst 5/5 stars!------------------------ Another day I had to go back to try something else on the lighter side. As a fan of both mango and cheese separately, I never thought of combining them together. I went with the Cheese Mango and added brown sugar boba for 75 cents just to try it out. I'm no stranger to cheese foam so I knew how to take the first sip - without the straw, sip through the side opening with a slow gentle tilt to get the cheese foam, followed by a hard tilt of the drink to get the mango. SUBLIME. The cheese foam was salty and creamy and paired well with the REAL ripe mango. It was so JUICY and sweet and not in an artificial way. Next time I'd skip the brown sugar boba - it lacked sweetness and was kind of undercooked. The boba left much to be desired. Cheese Mango 5/5 stars! ----------------------------- (but don't be silly and add brown sugar boba like me!) I'm already dreaming of my next visit and what drink to try next! read more

I was here for the grand opening for 3CAT Handcrafted Beverage here at the mall in Arcadia. They're located next to CPK and also meet fresh on the promenade side of the mall. I was actually here for another tea place across the way from here and I saw that there was another line here and I was definitely curious about what was going on here. I got in line and placed an order for my drink. The employees were really helpful and helped all of us through ordering the kiosk. You put your name and your telephone number in there and you're able to follow along when your drink is going to be done. It also roughly also tell you the time and when it's going to be ready. However with it being one of their first days it did take a little bit long for drinks to be ready. The good thing is through the app they will text you when your drink is ready so you don't have to wait around. I am a big fan of their ordering platform especially with so much else to do here in the mall you don't have to be in the store or around it to be waiting I ordered the mango sweet dew drink. The description of it sounded really refreshing. The drink was really good and I can't wait to try some of the other drinks. Especially right now with their opening week they have some giveaways and other deals I can't wait to come back and try some of the other drinks that they have here. read more

I'm obsessed with their mango sweet dew and avomango sweet dew. These 2 drinks are unique and explodes with flavor in each sip. Can't get enough. I enjoy these 2 specific bevs once a week.. it's dangerous. Can't say much for any other drinks as they weren't wowing, but once the sweet dew drinks hit my tongue, I was sold. Order on Snackpass whenever able and pick up because they always have long lines! read more

I've heard great things about this place and since we are usually at the shops at Santa Anita, we decided why not. Their top drink here is the mango mochi. One try and we were hooked. It gets pretty busy so I suggest either coming right when they open or ordering online on their website and walk around/shop while waiting. They will text you when your order is ready. There is outdoor seating but it's in the sun. Limited seating inside the store. The mango mochi and the avomango are our faves. Very refreshing. Give it a try! read more

We got to try 3Cat for the first time during grand opening weekend. The BOGO deal was worth it! We went on Friday night and the wait time to order in store was kind of long because people were ordering multiple drinks and/or didn't know what they wanted. Line looked short but took 20 min! The wait for the drink was also about an hour. I'm sure the wait isn't as long anymore without the grand opening deal going on. We also ended up here again on Sunday but I ordered online when they opened and my drink was ready in 10 minutes. What we ordered (all minimal sugar) Avomango sweet dew: tasty! still thought this was on the sweet side though from the ripe mangos though. Osmanthus oolong tea with soybean mousse: first time trying soybean mousse and I couldn't really taste a difference from cheese foam topping. Even with minimal sweet I thought the tea was still pretty sweet. This was probably my favorite of all the ones we tried. Would definitely order again. Mochi barley burst: good tea flavor! The barley popping boba was interesting and not very sweet. Mochi was soft and a nice addition as well. White peach oolong tea with soybean mousse: could really taste the peach flavor in the first few sips but flavor gets lost after a while. Overall, this is a cute boba shop with cute cat theming. I would say the drinks run more on the sweet side and I would consider most of these drinks more like dessert drinks. read more

The 626 is touted as one of THE areas for great boba, tea, and Asian food. With all of the competition around, 3CAT still stands out with its unique drinks and fair prices. They specialize in mochi infused beverages using real ingredients and not just flavored syrups. Great choice for dessert especially if you are already at the mall read more

Ordered the seasonal rice freeze. It tastes like a fermented rice milk drink. The water chestnut popping boba was very subtle and added more texture than flavor. I've had some of their other drinks though, but I'm not sure if I would order this again. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Rice freeze - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Ordered: - Mochi Mango with minimal sugar (4/5): minimal sugar was the perfect sweetness to get for this dessert. The mango itself is already sweet, and the mochi perfectly pairs with that since it's not sweet. The slightly chewy mochi texture is also appealing and we were big fans of it. Overall (4/5): 3Cat is a relatively new boba spot in the Santa Anita mall. They're quite busy and tend to have a line (at least when we went on a weekend afternoon). Unfortunately, wait times leave something to be desired. There's only one kiosk to order from, so naturally there's only one big line. However, our order was at least taken a bit earlier by the cashier before we got to the kiosk so that at least sped it up by a tad bit - and the wait was about 10 minutes after placing our order. The interior is pretty small and noisy, so it's more of a spot to grab your drink and leave to walk around the rest of the mall. We'll definitely come back since there are more drinks we want to try in the future, and the drink that we did get didn't disappoint. read more

Fresh fruit, perfectly chewy mochi and boba make for a drink that'll soothe your subtle sweet tooth. If you're into thick and milky drinks, try 3CAT! read more

The flavor in these drinks is solid. Got 50% sugar and less ice. However, no matter how much sugar we took out of the drink, I think the mochi was a bit too much for us. There's a creamy taste in it that I think some would enjoy, but it was much too buttery for a drink in my opinion. If thought of as a dessert, it would be perfect. The "bullets" in the barley burst were fantastic and fun to chew on without stickiness. Wait wasn't too bad. Typical expected wait time for a busy drink spot at the mall. read more

I love stopping by 3CAT when I'm in the area. I ordered the mango mochi drink and the long wait was worth it. The mango is ripe and high quality. It brings brightness to the drink and the tanginess balances the mochi cream. I thought the mochi was a unique element which differentiates it from other boba shops. The cream on top with the crumbled bits is perfection and the drink is pure bliss with every sip. Can't wait to go back and try something new! read more

finally got to try 3CAT last week!! I have been wanting to come here for so long. firstly, the ordering process was very easy. there was just a tablet to order on to the side of the cafe. we ordered the seasonal fermented rice slush with water chestnut popping boba, and the coco matcha (also seasonal)!! the fermented rice drink was my fav. probably one of the best slush drinks I have had at a boba place. the matcha coco was good as well and was super refreshing. there's a good amount of seating outside, and some inside. no restroom but there's plenty around the mall. read more

This place is really busy, we waited for about 15-20 mins for our drink but totally worth it!!! If you download an app or scan something I think you can order in advanced. So, we got the Mango mochi and Mango sweet dew. I really enjoyed the Mango mochi, it's something I've never tasted before but really good. The Mango sweet dew was more of a fruity taste, still good but I prefer the mochi one better. I will definitely come back. read more

we were having lunch at Din Tai Fung and craving something sweet afterward. We found this boba place in the outdoor courtyard, and it was just what we needed--a light dessert to top off our lunch. I ordered the avocado mango smoothie with minimal sweetness, and it turned out great. I added the brown sugar boba, which were perfectly chewy with a sweet center. I highly recommend this place. read more

I can see why this place is so popular. The drinks were very good and refreshing. I tried the Mango Sweet Dew and Mochi Barley Burst, and they both exceeded my expectations. Luckily, I came a few minutes before they opened. They have two kiosks, but only one by the door was working. This contributed to the long line. I wish that they have one or two cash registers to keep the long lines taking up space in the room. Inside is clean and has limited seating, but there is more seating outside. The chairs inside were low and weren't that great. * Located next to Meet Fresh Other than those issues, I would come back for the drinks since they were so good. read more

I tried the white peach milk tea, less sugar with brown sugar boba. For me, there was not enough tea flavor, too weak and too sweet. Boba was too squishy for my taste buds. Love that they use organic dairy milk - with the option to swap to non dairy. My review is just on the drink, the employees were great and shop was very clean and lots of seating read more

Some of the best teas and drinks I've ever had! That mango mochi drink is my go to! I usually change the topping to cheese foam, there's something about the sweetness of the drink and the saltiness of the foam that just compliments each other! Inside is nice but very very small so having your drink in there while having a conversation is pretty hard, luckily they have outdoor seating! Service is fairly quick sometimes, but you can blame the staff, it honestly looks so overwhelming at time with how many orders they get! read more

Agree with the previous reviewer that there's no greeting or super friendly folks working here when I visited but I also don't mind minimal interaction as long as the ordering and pickup process is easy. I ordered online, received text updates, and picked up within 10 min. Very quick and easy. Tried the lime tea and orange tea and both were ok - refreshing but nothing spectacular. read more

Absolutely loved this place! I was craving boba and was not disappointed by 3CAT. I got the mango sweet dew with boba and was pleasantly surprised. Even during my first sips I could tell how fresh and well made the drink was. It was a 10/10. I went on a Friday around 6 pm and there was no line. I was in and out the door in 5/10 minutes which was great. The place was very clean and modern which was great. read more

Drinks are solid here! Its located outside in the promenade area, close to Meet Fresh and Macys. My favorite is the orange green tea. They use real orange bits and the tea is perfect. There's usually a wait so order ahead online or go to the self kiosk. read more

New place in the Santa Anita mall! We came for their bogo deal and there was a long line. We waited in line for about 20 mins and our drinks took about 25 mins. It's an understandable wait time since there were so many people. You can tell the workers were not slacking! I got the avomango sweet dew. I love avocado so this was perfect! I liked how well all the ingredients meshed with each other. The inside was small with maybe about 6 chairs. Very bright inside with really cute cat figurines around. Definitely a place to come when you want a drink to sip on while walking around the mall. read more

This place has been taunting me every time I go to the Arcadia mall. The lines were always too long so I was discouraged from trying it. We had just finished a late dinner at 9:45pm so we decided to walk by and see. NO LINE. Perfect time to go.. we ordered the golden amber milk tea and avomango sweet dew. Both with minimal sugar (because we're trying to stay away from diabetes). Pretty high quality stuff. They use Strauss organic milk, actual fruit chunks and the rice mochi added to the milk tea was delightful. Cute decor with cats everywhere. Even their to go bag is a cute cat bag. read more

3CAT Arcadia location is now my favorite and go-to boba spot. Every time I've been here, the drinks taste great. The only time I didn't enjoy my drink was when I ordered a floral black tea and they gave me a different black tea order with a similar name. I didn't enjoy the whip cream and toffee topping. My go-to drink is Jasmine milk tea. I'm glad they have oat milk for those with lactose intolerance. Even with oat milk the tea is nice and creamy. read more

Hands down one of my favorite boba spots in 2024. This spot has great tea quality and every drink I have tried has been spot on, in flavor/ sweetness (usually getting less sweet). Favorite drinks so far The coconut matcha - light refreshing, the matcha shines and makes the consistency of the drink for creamy while the coconut water adds a nice mellow sweetness/refreshing aspect. Would recommend finishing this the day of buying it. The milk tea w/ popping barley boba and mochi - best take on this barley milk tea, the popping boba is soft and has a barley within. The mochi is thick, chewy, gooey My parents love the lime explosion - fresh, sour, sweet refreshing drink location wise, it is near the cha-redefine and in the outdoor section of the mall near macys. Can get crowded. Would recommend ordering online. read more

Solid tea option in Santa Anita Mall. Order only through their tablet (contact less), which can make a long line with people sorting through their relatively extensive list. Their tea is bold and flavorful Lots of options to make it non or low sweet Customize with soft mochi (instead of boba) which is a nice treat once in a while Highly recommend if in the mall- probably the best option here read more
