Fresh unique flavors that I haven't had at any boba place before and definitely enjoy and love the drinks! Setting: place is small with only a couple tables so not a place to sit around at, however, if it's a nice day there are seats outside to enjoy your drink. Mochi mango -first time trying mochi as a topping for a boba drink and I think I'm in love -I didn't know what to expect with the mochi but it was good, not too sweet and it did have a soft chew texture -the mango was fresh and sweet and loved the creaminess of this drink -this has now been my go to drink at this place Coco melon - such a refreshing summer drink ! Absolutely love Avocado mango sweet dew -never thought mango and avocado but it was a surprisingly good mix Mochi barley burst -usually not a fan of popping boba but this was different and quite satisfying -did wish the tea flavor was stronger -not to sweet but still a good balanced drink that I enjoyed Overall: -if you want something different than you normally boba shops this is the place to go! Highly recommend! read more

7/10 Mochi Barley Burst - Okay the drink is aight but what the heck are those little barley bursts? It's giving mini potato bobas. Thats the texture it seems to be! I did not like this drink at all and it could've been sweeter. My favorite part of the drink is the mochi. It tasted bomb. 6/10 Boba - Okay, I have a lot to say here. I was ordering on the iPad self-order and when I chose the Mochi Barley Burst, there was no option to add boba. So I asked the guy making the drinks where to choose it, and he said there was a button to select it. I told him no, there really wasn't, so I just typed a comment on the order to add boba. When my drink finally arrived, which took about 45 minutes, there was still no boba. I asked the same guy if he could add it, since there was no button on the iPad. He fiddled with his device while I waited, but wouldn't just give me a side of boba. I got fed up and said, please just scoop some into a cup so I can add it myself. He finally did, but honestly the boba was way too chewy and not good at all. SMH. Cost - $6.95 read more

I enjoyed the "lime explosion" with jasmine green tea. It was a very warm day ~88°F and this drink hit the spot, it was so refreshing. Self-ordering system. The only complaint I had was the time estimates were significantly off. I understand the staff was juggling numerous online orders with some in-person orders sprinkled in. I self-ordered in person, waited 10 mins and the screen was still showing I had a 35min wait so I decided to kill time walking to Trader Joe's. After walking out, 5 mins later my drink was ready. That's great it was faster than expected but threw me off. read more

As other reviews had mentioned, it's impressive how long it's been since I've had good boba and this place is where you'd least expect to find it. I had something in my schedule near the area, so I decided to stop by to get boba and peruse Barnes and Nobles while here. There was plenty of parking around the shopping center, I didn't have a hard time looking for a place to park. I walked past the bookstore on my left side and went straight and to the right to find the boba place. It wasn't full of people expect for one customer. It had a clean interior and aesthetic look to it. Near the cashier, they had a bunch of cat figurine toys to suit the store name. Instead of ordering with the cashier, I decided to scroll their kiosk. They had two kiosks with descriptions of the drink on there in comparison to reading their menus and assuming what was in them. I had a difficult time choosing between drinks and toppings. I had wanted to get one for my fiancé, too, but didn't want it to go bad. The store seemed to use fresh ingredients. I opted for a biscotti jasmine milk tea with both brown sugar boba and their mochi. I decided to get two toppings since I wanted to see how good their mochi was. It took a few minutes for my drink to be ready. When I took my first sip, I shook my head in approval. The biscotti milk for top was a perfect sweetness that complimented their tea, while wasn't overly sweet. Their boba was good, chewy boba and was the right about of brown sugar flavors. Meanwhile, their mochi was chewy and gooey. Perfect with any drink. I'd say having boba with mochi was overkill but now I know which topping I'd get from now on. Overall, it's a very impressive boba place with fragrant teas with great mochi and boba toppings. Drinks take a minute, but you know you're waiting for a good drink. I paid about $8.50 with two toppings. I'd make the drive again just to have their mochi! read more

I was so excited to try 3CAT in Chino Hills last Saturday but when I arrived to the store, I saw two employees busy behind the counter but their order kiosk was off. Without ANY greetings the employee told me "We are closed." I looked at my watch and it said 10:56 and told her but your door was open and with an attitude she said "I told you, we are closed!". I asked her what time do you open then and she said 11:00... I told her, it was my first time there and didn't understand why the door was open if they are closed!! I went down to PRESSED instead and received amazing customer service there.. I was extremely disappointed in the unfriendliness of the rude young gal who was working there!!! I'll never spend a dime at 3CAT!! read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Front of the store at the Shoppes in Chino Hills - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chino Hills, California

I was just walking around the mall and bumped into 3CAT Handcrafted Beverage. I saw a bunch of people inside and got curious, so I had to stop in and see what the hype was about. I'll be honest, at $6.75 for one drink, it's a bit on the pricier side, but the quality was very good. A lot of drinks usually give me a stomachache, but this one didn't at all, it felt really fresh and high-quality. I tried the Mango Avo drink and it was delicious and oh so smooth! The texture was perfect. Even with the crowd, the service was fast and efficient, so I wasn't waiting forever. I'm so glad my curiosity got the best of me! If you're at the Shoppes and want a premium treat, definitely give them a try. read more

look i'm a former bobarista, and from the very first sip.... i was in love.... at the ALTER even..... 3CAT is quite literally some of the BEST handcrafted drinks i've ever had. it's SO SO hard to find boba chains that genuinely use fresh real ingredients and isn't just powdered nesquik slop. like pls don't tell me thai tea is powder... BREW IT UR A TEA SHOP TF. AND 3CAT DOES TEA SO WELL. I got the osmanthus and suddenly i became uncle iroh relaxing on the beach enjoying retirement. THATS how aromatic the tea was. BUT THE MANGO??? STOLE THE SHOW. GET THE MANGO ONE WITH THE HANDMADE MOCHI AND RICE MILK OR SOMETHING. IDK WHAT ITS CALLED. BUT THAT SENT ME THE HEAVEN. if u guys need another bobarista on the team. pls hire me. i beg of you. i'll copy and paste my resume link plsplspls read more

Dropped by 3CAT on a Monday around 3 pm to grab a little drink while I holiday shopped & Barnes and Nobles browsed. The first thing I noticed was that the store had quite a few people in it for a weekday. Which meant this chain is quite popular & I hoped, for good reason. There were 2 ordering screens, so the line wasn't much of a wait. I love how creative the menu is and I settled on the Cheese Berry. This was a smooth, creamy smoothie with delectable and distinct layers of cheese mousse, blueberry smoothie and biscoff crumble. I'm a sucker for anything biscoff, so this caught my eye right away. The wait for the drink was around 5 minutes and the staff were pretty efficient and kind giving them out. I got a text when my order was ready, but there's also a screen updating the order statuses of different people. There isn't much seating, which is understandable for a bubble tea store in an outdoor mall. Would definitely come by again & try an osmanthus drink I was eyeing! read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Berry Cheese smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chino Hills, California

We visited 3 Cats Hand Crafted Beverage at the Chino Hills location a few weeks ago and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the drinks. We tried the Mango Mochi milk smoothie, which was unexpectedly delicious. We'd never had anything like it before--the mochi blended perfectly with the mango and milk smoothie, adding texture without being too sticky or gummy. We also ordered the Matcha Smoothie, which had great flavor and was equally enjoyable. The shop itself is cute and quaint, with a few seats available for customers. However, the service could definitely use some improvement. Our drinks took at least 15 minutes to be ready, even though the shop was not busy at the time. The staff also felt a bit uptight about the order process. We had our husbands pick up the drinks while we stepped into another store, and even though they had the order number and our phone numbers, the staff still refused to hand over the drinks. A little more flexibility and friendliness would go a long way. Overall, the drinks are fantastic easily 5-star quality--but the long wait times and overly strict staff bring the experience down, which is why this ended up being a 3-star visit for us. Great drinks, but service needs improvement. read more

Consistent as usual. This is the fourth location I've been too. Tried every mochi style drink. Now I'm trying their watery tea selection. So far so good. I will continue going to these locations until I've conquered the entire menu. read more

Craving something sweet but not too sweet -- but in the form of a drink? Say less, this is THE place. Oh purrrrrr~ This is currently one of my favorite places for a drink-- think Asian boba but with a twist. a few of my favorites is the mochi mango, mango sweet dew, avomango-- basically everything with mango. I tried the other items, they're good too (basically all the sweet stuff except for their tea drinks lol). All ingredients are so fresh. PLUS, you can customize the sweetness too! Did I also mention there's like barley popping boba too? Tots like a party in your mouth, but with a little pop of barley. Talk about delicious! Below are some nitty gritty about this place. LOCATION: in the Chino Hills mall, close to Color Me Mine. Parking can be tricky, but park by Barnes & Nobles for an easy walk. Out of all the 3CAT locations, the service here is pretty quick. The San Gabriel one takes a looong time. The longest I've waited was like 30 mins-- and that's after I ordered online too. I kind of wish this wasn't at the mall-- cause when it gets crowded, parking can be tricky. SERVICE: OK, this is gonna be a little weird. But all ordering is done online. My best suggestion is to order ahead-- cause the wait can vary (but this place is probably the best out of the rest). The workers here are quite busy making drinks-- so don't always expect a friendly greeting. Go in, get your drink and get out vibes. ATMOSPHERE: What atmosphere? Lol. There's a few seats here and there-- but I don't think it's a hang out spot with your loved ones. Again, go in, get your drink(s), and get out. Exactly in that order. DRINKS: Ugh, so good-- probably one of my favorite Asian drinks place. When I'm in the area, it's always on my list. Price is reasonable. VERDICT: Overall, I love it here. You meowed that right! Aside from parking, this is kitty paws down my favorite place for drinks when you have a little sweet tooth. read more

Absolutely astounded with the expansion of 3CAT series to Chino Hills. This spot specifically is smaller than the other locations I've been to, limited seating, and no public restrooms at this location, although you can find restroom easily as it's in a outdoor shopping center. Can get super busy during peak hours but is accommodated by their two self ordering kiosks. Shop itself is very minimalist vibe but is very clean and modern style. 10/10. Staff is pretty quick with the orders but I always order on their mobile app Snackpass to get rewards. (Every 10 cups = 1 free drink of choice.) Parking here is easy, although gets busy at times all around the lot. Certain spots are paid but it's mostly free and in walking distance. I've tried most of their drinks here and it's always just super refreshing and addicting. My go to drinks are: Mochi Matcha (Highly recommend) Avomango Sweet Dew Mochi Barley Burst Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea Jade Matcha They have seasonal drinks here which I haven't tried but definitely worth a look. read more

Whenever I am at the Shoppe Chino Hills, I always see a long line out the door. You must order via Kiosk. The wait time can be anywhere from 15-30 minutes depending on the day and time. This popular boba spot is kind of small and limited seating inside. All of the drinks purchased in the past were refreshing. Highly recommended. read more

First time visiting this location and it's a great spot to have in Chino! Parking is convenient here, and it's located right in the middle of the outdoor mall. I usually get the Mochi Barley Burst at another 3CAT and getting it here was just about the same! My friend goes here very often so she tried the Mochi Matcha today, she enjoyed it! The wait time is actually a little bit faster compared to the Arcadia Mall, but it was still about a 15 minute wait. The store is small, so it's better to grab drinks & go and walk around the mall. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Mochi Barley Burst & Matcha Mochi - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chino Hills, California

3CAT has some good service and they really figured out their ordering system. The ambiance is well decorated but there's not too much on the seating aspect of it so don't expect that during rush hours. The drinks that I found delightful was the mochi barley burst. The barley burst bubbles are little nice sweet flavors of barley that add some texture to your drink and the mochi / tea itself is a nice pairing with the topping. The other drinks were not as good in my opinion, with the fruit drink being basically watered down and not too flavorful / special, I wouldn't order it again. Maybe I'm being generous but I think the barley drinks are good for sure, I just need to check out other items to confirm the 4/5 read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chino Hills, California

I love 3CAT. I usually get the barely mochi tea drink because it's so good, but one time I went they didn't have anymore so I got the dragon latte. It's nice, subtle. My friend god the rice frosting and that was really good, wish I got it. Super orange is delicious and I add the osmanthus tea jelly. I got some drink before and it had the chestnut boba and that was fire. First time here get the barley mochi drink. That barley boba is the best I've ever had. It's so unique and delicious and perfectly nutty. Has a great texture, I love it so much. read more

I really love their matcha mochi drink. It's delicious and the quality of the tea is always so flavorful and delicious. But, the reason I'm taking away 2 stars is because of how long it takes to get drinks. Even with ordering ahead, or ordering in person, you can expect to wait an average of 20-30 minutes. On the several times I have gone to the shop in person, there is never any place to stand and we have to wait outside or go somewhere else before the drinks are ready. If you have time to wait, worth checking out. read more

Located at The Shoppes in Chino Hills. You order on a kiosk and there is another screen that shows you when your drinks will be ready. It was pretty busy so it took a while for our drinks to come out. I ordered the Mochi Matcha which is a creamy ice blended drink with handcrafted mochi at the bottom. I got mine less sweet and added brown sugar boba. The boba and mochi had a nice texture. I really enjoyed it. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Lemon Explosion (Left) & Mochi Matcha with boba (Right) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chino Hills, California

SO GOOD. Ranked as one of the top 5 boba spot in LA mainly for their tea quality & drinkable mochi. First off I'm absolutely dumbfounded by JUST how good the lime explosion was. I was going to mock my non Asian friend for getting that but after trying it, it was jaw droopingly amazing. The green tea was SO well made the perfect delicious bitter of a well made tea and the lime complimented it by brightening up the drink. Would 100/100 get this again if you're not craving a milk tea. I would recommend getting a jelly or popping boba with this and now a sugared boba so as to not compromise the tea flavor since it's JUST that good. The popping boba barley milk tea was also delicious, but wow the drinkable mochi stole the show & the popping boba barley was SO well made in that it had a nice starchy consistency with a distinct popping outer jelly shell. Very well made. Would get this again but also would have the desire to try other drinks as well since both of these were such hits. The milk tea was nice but not as beautifully strong in the yummy bitter tea flavor. It was still a LOT better than places like NobleTea, Ume Tea & Teaspoon but now that I know they make great tea, I almost expected the milk tea's tea flavor to shine through more. Would 100% come back again. Probably top favorite boba place for the tea flavor and the added bonus that they serve drinkable mochi. Size = decently tall! Service was pretty slow as this shop's in a busy mall & there's only two tablets with a line of 5 people per table when I went. Parking = parking lot. This spot is in the corner of the hallway that leads directly to the parking lot so the walk is not bad if you want to make a quick boba stop. Ambiance was nice but I wouldn't consider it a lounge spot. More like a good lounge for while you wait for your boba but not necessarily a good comfortable lounge to enjoy your boba. read more

Ba ba ba bomb. I really enjoyed the variety off drinks they offered especially because there are lots of milk tea/boba spots in the area. My sister suggested I try the mochi barely burst. I ordered inside on the kiosk and selected less sugar and the drink was still sweet enough for me. The popping barley was a nice surprise and I love the liquid mochi. The combination was unlike anything I'd had before so that was def a plus. I ordered my kiddo the Oreo smoothie w/ Mochi and opted for less sugar as well because I know that the Oreo cookie is going make the drink pretty sweet. Whipped cream on top with a sprinkle of Oreo. That liquid mochi though, the texture catches you off guard but the hint of sweetness makes you want more. Def want to return to try the matcha and fruit teas. Note: once you order off the kiosk there is another screen that populates your name and order number in addition to the time it will take for your drink to be ready. We sat at the tables an d waited. Intially it showed 20 min but once it got to about 12 min -10 min left, they called my name and number in English and Chinese so it didn't take long. read more

The line itself wasn't long and we were able to order with a tablet right away, but the wait for our drink was around 20 minutes because there was a long list of online orders. However, it's located in a busy shopping center with lots of cute stores nearby which makes the wait not too bad! read more

Mochi bubble tea shop! Wow! I've never seen or had this in New York City or Philadelphia or Toronto and I was so excited to try this after seeing it on TikTok. It was actually very good and very different from the normal bubble tea that I would get. There's some small seats, probably up to about 8-10 people total. I visit during noonish on Thursday and it was actually pretty crowded. There was a lot of orders lined up to be fulfilled and picked up. It took a little less than 15 minutes to have our order ready but we didn't mind walking around. But our time we re-entered the shop probably had 10 to 15 people ordering/waiting for the drinks. I got the taro matcha delight and the mochi on the bottom was delicious and surprisingly went well with the drink. Very delicious read more

This is a great boba place to go to if you're shopping around chino hills. Come in, order what you want on a kiosk & go stroll around the area, you'll receive a text when your order is ready.

3CAT is a lovely addition to The Shoppes at Chino Hills! It's easy to order and a great place to escape from the heat or rain. Workers are diligent and they sometimes offer promos for Pokemon GO players ;D The mochi barley milk tea was my favorite for a while (popping barley is so good) and their milk tea taste is not bad! The mochi is pretty filling though. (Their boba isn't my favorite though.. The taste is very typical? and I think it takes away from the natural taste of their tea which they're pretty good at.) After drinking this for like half a year, I discovered that I love their Golden Amber (Oolong?) MT.. This was my go-to for a while, until the Dragon Well Tea Latte came out... (This one is comparable to some of the milk tea/tea latte drinks at the new Chinese chains that are popping up like crazy). Also, their fruity drinks are excellent! While I haven't had any of the mango or avocado drinks, I've tried some of their seasonal drinks: Icy Peach is one of my summer favorites... and after having their Yuzu Berry last week, I've been thinking about it nonstop... Will probably get it soon... :D read more

Located at The Shoppes, 3CAT is one of the best boba places in Chino Hills. All their drinks are handcrafted, which means it can take 20 minutes to get your order due to its popularity. I really like their floral black milk tea with brown sugar boba. The milk tea is fragrant with a balanced milkiness. The boba's texture is perfect as well. I also enjoyed their barley popping boba. The space itself is not a cafe setup. There are a few seats for patrons, but I would recommend walking around if you will be waiting a while for your drinks. Overall, this is my favourite boba place in Chino Hills. read more
