I came when it was superrrrr busy. But they still made the drinks relatively fast for the amount of people who ordered. The mango sweet dew is so refreshing and delicious!! I asked for NO agar boba, best decision i could've done. I think it would've been too much. I saw them have a whole bin full of fresh mangos, and weight it carefully for each batch. It was very good people watching, just very cool to see how fast they made the drinks with the limited amount of space they have, all of them working together really well. Well done!! Will definitely be returning back. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Mango sweet dew - asked for NO AGAR! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Service is terribly slow. So many people working and they were nice but they don't get the job done. I was waiting for my 2 drinks for a good 19 minutes it's not acceptable read more

Wanted to check out the hype of this tea place. I give 2/5 for the mochi matcha because the mochi was a bit under cooked. I tasted small bits of mochi flour which resembles red beans. The matcha was weak. I tasted milk more than matcha. They need to be more generous with their matcha powder. 3/5 for the Avomango Sweet Dew because the avocado over powered the mango. There are some mango chunks in the drink, but I suggest adding a bit more mango puree so that the avocado is not overpowering the mango. I ordered from the kiosk so service is nonexistent. Interior is nice and clean. I don't think I will return anytime soon. read more

I tried this place for the first time and had to get the mango mochi drink. Everything was absolutely delicious, but it was pretty difficult to suck up the mochi through the straw. I would definitely stop by again if I was in the area. read more

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

3cat always has a long line and busy atmosphere but all for good reason. You order through a kiosk while waiting in line so it might be faster to order online depending on the how the wait is. I haven't tried their other drinks but their mango mochi drink is the best. My partner and I were deciding between 3Cat, cha redefine, and warabimochi kamakura. We obviously chose 3Cat and don't regret that decision. For the size of their drinks and the price, the value is much higher compared to the other shops. We got one mango mochi with the cream top. It's always our go to and never disappoints. The mochi is thick enough for that mochi chewiness but thin enough to not have to struggle to get it through the straw. It's one of my favorite toppings in the drink. We also got one mango mochi with cheese mousse and it was really good too. The difference in taste is not significant. I would probably go back and forth between the two for a just a slight change. I would recommend 3Cat to all my friends and family. They will not disappoint. They have so many options and unique flavors with high quality ingredients. read more

Food Safety and working conditions were incredibly concerning. The restaurant was swarming with flies, not just a few getting in. It's clearly an infestation and the lack of air flow and circulation isn't helping. It's incredibly warm and flies are circling the prep stations and tea containers. The owner or whoever is making excuses in the replies bc neighboring businesses did not have this bad of a fly and AC problem. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - flies all over the ceiling this is tiny portion - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

This is my 2nd time trying 3CAT and they did not disappoint. Both the mango sweet dew and super orange were amazing. Ordering is easy, they have a self order kiosk right when you walk in. You'll get texted when your drink is ready and staff will also announce it. There were maybe about 4-5 chairs inside but there are more seats outside. Super Orange was very refreshing. It has a fragrant floral jasmine tea base and the orange juice compliments it so well. One thing that can improve is that there are tiny orange rinds occasionally when you sip this drink. read more

milk tea is just average, but the toppings!!!!!! so good and unique. i got the mochi barley burst and i really enjoyed the barley popping boba and rice mochi. ive never had a barley popping boba but it adds a fun texture to the drink. the wait is kinda long but you can order online for pick up and walk around while you wait. there's actually quite a bit of outdoor seating which is nice. read more

Please get a 2nd and 3rd ordering kiosk. The line is unnecessary and manufactured / man made by refusing to add more kiosks or having cashiers take orders. There's no shade outside its so hot we're suffering out there's only one kiosk - Sincerely writing this while waiting in a long line because online ordering has been turned off which it is most Saturdays and I'm burning up read more

Located around the mall area outdoors. You order via the kiosk (only one available) or you can order via Snackpass (a lot faster). I ordered via Snackpass and it was a faster process. I ordered the Rice Frost and it was good! The downside was the service, I had waited awhile for my drink and I went up to the counter to show them my number. My brother was before me, but he got his drink and when I asked for mine, the girl said it's not out yet. I see the screen where they announce all the numbers and I don't see my number, but they're already making drinks that are beyond my number. After waiting about 15 minutes or so, another girl started switching with the original person and I asked her, anddddd my drink was sitting there the whole time. They did have a lot of orders, so I don't blame the girl, but they need a better process. Recommendation(s): - Rice Frost Service: 3/5 Tip(s): - Order via Snackpass for a faster process (or kiosk inside, but they only have one and it's a long line) - No restrooms read more

It's so sweet! Even less sugar was sickly sweet. The kiosk was nice, and staff got our drinks out quickly, but there's better boba shops in the mall and even better ones in the surrounding area. The cat shelves are cute! read more

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

In a sea of boba chains and shops, 3CAT has managed to stand out amongst the LA competition. With unique seasonal drinks, like avomango, coco pina, coco tropical, etc., and mochi and barley boba toppings, 3CAT offers a new boba experience. I've tried the Mochi Matcha and Mochi Barley Burst with light sugar level. Both drinks had strong tea flavors and the mochi was very soft. It can be hard to slurp mochi, so I recommend breaking it up into smaller pieces with your straw. The barley boba has a firmer texture than regular boba but doesn't require much chewing. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. The store can get quite busy after lunch hours, but their tablet ordering system is very convenient. The past two times I visited, the employees were so busy making the drinks that they forgot to call out the numbers that were ready for pickup. If you see your drink on the counter, you can kindly go up and ask for it. read more

If you're thinking about trying the barley mochi boba, this review is for you. Contrary to what it sounds like, this is not a drink with barley flavored boba. Rather, is it literal pieces of barley wrapped in a thin coat of boba. I was very confused when I took my first sip, but after a while, I started to enjoy the experience. The flavor of the barley is pretty subtle and makes for a pretty unique texture. Would I get it again? Maybe, but I'm interested in trying their other drinks at the moment. read more

Drinks are so good BUT this place need serious hygiene. There are so many flies in the store, maybe they should always keep their door closed. There's probably like 50+ flies in there, and the smell is nasty inside the store. There is a fly trap inside the waiting area and it smells rotten Maybe should close the store for a few days to deep clean, get rid of the smell so it stop attracting flies read more

Love 3cat and visited the Arcadia location today. You order on the touchscreen kiosk but don't really get any interaction nor greeting from the staff. Drinks were made relatively quick but when our drinks were ready and we went to the counter, the person there couldn't be bothered so bit of an awkward moment when I got my drinks and she immediately went back to making drinks without asking my friend (standing right next to me) if she was also picking up a drink. read more

This is one of the shops that closes later at the mall. I like to get the jade matcha when I come and although they recommend to not have it with less sugar, I think it's still sweet enough even with it unsweetened. They offer a wide variety of drinks and have multiple seasonal offerings that are fun to try. read more

Love it! I'm very sensitive to caffeine so glad to see they have tons of smoothies or caffeine free drink options. I ordered online ahead like other Yelpers suggested. Took ~30 minutes but I just walked around in the mall while waiting. I got the mango mochi. OMG so freaking good. So creamy and the mochi had this amazing chewy yet satisfying texture, with soy cream top - it's heavenly! Probably 1000 calories but who cares it's worth it. Will definitely be back to try other flavors! read more

The mochi jelly is amazing. Wonderful texture, not too sweet. Definitely my favorite drink shop

-Came here on a Friday at 5:30pm -You order from a kiosk (yay no human interaction!) -I was lucky there was only one person ahead of me but tbh I was getting impatient -I appreciate they have drinks without caffeine -I got the Avomango Sweet Dew because it looked good, I wish it had more mango though -They have a screen that shows when your drink is ready, this is nice so you don't have to wait for the worker to yell out your number lol and be unsure if your order is ready xD -The interior was modern read more

We got one of their popular drinks and it was great. The mango and avocado tasted fresh and the mochi is a great addition. There was a bit of a line when I got there since there is only one kiosk. There is a small indoor seating area but it is mainly just a waiting area. We waited for bit for our drinks but you will get a text when your drink is ready. I would definitely try their other drinks. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - avocado mango - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

The drink was good - but there was a ridiculous wait before and after ordering. It took almost 10 minutes in the sun to order at a self serve kiosk. There was only one kiosk so it took almost while for everyone to order. There's practically no ventilation inside and almost no seating (like maybe 4 stools inside) After ordering I waited about 10 minutes as well, so a total of 20 minutes just to order one milk tea. There are no registers - just the one self serve kiosk so all the employees are making drinks but still takes forever because of all the mobile deliveries sitting on the counter. Not worth it to come again in my opinion read more

avomango sweet dew: 9/10 light taste of avocado which perfectly combines with the sweet dew! the toppings that come with it are great. the drink is very large and filling. i would highly recommend this drink if you like avocado. it's not too overpowering. mango mochi: 8.5/10 really great except the mochi is a bit difficult to suck out. besides that, the taste and texture is really good. the mochi is very chewy and there's lots of bits inside. overall, came on a weekday around the afternoon and there was a long line. i waited in line around 10-15 minutes and the drink came out 10 minutes later after i ordered. they do give you a order status on your estimated time on when it'll be finished which is pretty convenient if you want to walk around somewhere else. there's barely any seating inside so if it's all taken, you'll have to wait outside. i would highly recommend this place. the drinks are great and i would definitely come again. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - avomango sweet dew & mango mochi with no foam - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

I got the mochi oreo which was pretty good. The mochi consistency is pretty interesting and more on the liquidy/goopy side than others I've tried. The oreo drink is pretty standard as a milkshake, the flavor was pretty good and not watered down with ice or milk. The service is okay, I came with a friend who ordered boba close to closing and they didn't tell us they ran out of boba until we asked what happened to his drink after waiting for some time. read more

Despite how busy it was when I went, I was able to get my order pretty quickly so that's a definite plus! You order on a kiosk so unfortunately there's no staff that you can ask questions to but they do have a list of recommendations at the front. Another thing that I really appreciated is that if you order 3 or more drinks they'll give you a reusable bag for you to carry them in. I got the jasmine milk tea and the floral black tea, both at less sugar. Even with less sugar the jasmine was still pretty sweet and was very floral, so I really enjoyed it. The floral black tea wasn't as floral as I expected its a lot more subtle of a floral flavor but its a good black milk tea. I think I would come back to try out some other drinks in the future read more

Got the mochi mango and did a rookie mistake... I didn't mix it... I thought it'll be fine for some reason haha probably cause I didn't have breakfast or lunch yet but overall it was good, unmixed haha! Will try it again soon and will MIX it. Service: so you have to do kiosk. The wait was pretty fast compared to Cha Refined, which I liked. Also you can adjust sweetness and the cream top too. Love options. read more

This is one of my favorite spots because they have unique drinks like a good number of mochi-based drinks and innovative high-quality fresh fruit drinks. I also think their drinks have a perfect degree of sweetness that is not overpowering. Being next to the mall is also a plus. This is a top-tier place for sure. read more

A solid tea and boba shop that I didn't fully get the hype for. I actually found myself enjoying more of the suite drinks (like the oreo smoothie) as compared to the teas! read more

My friend and I wanted a sweet treat so we decided to check this place out because we were interested in the mochi. Mochi Mango (5/5): This was SO GOOD. I love mango and the drink itself wasn't too sweet and very mango heavy. The mochi added a nice texture with the texture of the mango. It definitely tasted more like a dessert than a drink. You order off a kiosk and they show your order on a screen with the ETA. There is indoor and outdoor seating so you can hang out wherever. I would definitely get the mochi mango again. read more

Came here on a Saturday night and waited 45 minutes for my drink - the Santa Anita mall is extremely busy on weekends so if you would like to try this place, I'd highly recommend coming on a weekday! I ordered the mochi barley burst. The barley popping boba i've never had before - it had an interesting texture but I enjoyed it! The tea itself was good. The only thing for me was that the mochi was very clumpy in the drink and made it difficult to drink. Overall, pretty good drink place but I wouldn't wait 45 minutes for it. read more

Drinks were delicious and fresh. Loved that I can order less sweet and it came out perfect for me. Some very unique drinks I haven't seen elsewhere. It was a busy Sunday when we came. There's lots of people behind the counter making your drinks, but it still took about 25 mins to get our order. There is only 1 computer kiosk and no person to take your order so there is a consistent line, but the drinks were worth the wait. 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

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 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'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 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

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
