I am so obsessed with the Apple tea! It's so delicious and refreshing. I now get it with zero added sugar. And yes, it's still the right amount of sweetness. Seems like the sweetness comes from the apple mixture, which is perfect for me. I love how they have free toppings. I add boba, jelly and pudding. Love this place. read more

ALittle Tea - Apple tea (don't mind the mess). - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I stopped by ALittle Tea after it was recommended to me by my little sister, who is a student at Pasadena City College. The shop is located right across from the college, which makes it super convenient for students who want somewhere to relax, study, or grab a quick drink between classes. I ordered a black tea with coffee jelly and a jasmine iced tea. The tea was great ...smooth, refreshing, and not too sweet. Customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, polite, and got my order together pretty quickly. Overall, I'd say it's a nice little spot to try at least once, especially if you're a PCC student or already in the area. Personally, I tend to prefer boba shops with a little more personality. There wasn't much art on the walls, games to play, or anything that made the space feel especially memorable. It could use a little more fun and character, but that's just a suggestion. Would I come back? Maybe! It mostly depends on whether I'm craving their tea. read more

I normally visit the SG location. I happen to pass by and decided to visit this location. Free parking in the back but there is a time limit. This location is across from PCC so there was a crowd when I went during the day. I stopped by again in the evening another day and there is less crowd. This location is very bright and I feel safe to stop by in the evening. Drinks are consistent just like the SG location. There are two kiosks to order when you walked in. Overall I'm glad there's two locations around me. read more

A very modern and bright boba tea shop with plenty of seating inside. They have computer screens where you can order your drinks but it was a little akward because the staff members were just standing right next to me while I was ordering. I could have very well ordered at the register but I had never been here before and didn't know the process. The staff was very kind and answered all my questions! I was a little disappointed to see that they only had coffee jelly, not any actual coffee drinks. I ended up getting the four seasons milk tea and it was good. I added boba and jelly to it but it didn't seem like there was that much boba in it, especially for how large the size was. I like that you can customize the sweetness though! Overall, a nice experience and a great option if you are a milk tea fan. read more

ALittle Tea is located at a busy corner of Colorado Blvd, right across from Pasadena City College. It is super easy to spot, and there is street parking available. You order from a Kiosk, which earns a star for the convenience. I ordered an iced Oolong Black Tea and it tasted really good. Like most tea places, you get to choose different ice and sweetness level. I chose 100% regular everything, and I loved my drink! The place is a bit small, with only a couple of tables available. It also smell a bit funny but it is overall a clean place. I love how they have those little Yucult drinks on display (they offer a Yucult flavored iced tea, a must try for my next visit). I did enjoyed my drink and give it a 7/10. Service was okay and I give that a 6/10. Overall, I will come again if I am ever in the area. read more

I've noticed this spot ever since Bun Bun Bo closed and A Little Tea took over the space, but I never had a chance to try it until recently. Since my friend wanted to go to Odyssey Games afterward, I suggested we stop by here. You can order either from a self-ordering screen or directly with the cashier. Since it was my first visit, I ordered at the counter to ask for recommendations. Joel, the cashier, was very kind and helpful. I asked for his recommendation and he mentioned that the oolong milk tea was his favorite. Since I wasn't in the mood for milk, I went with the oolong tea with tea jelly instead. One nice perk is that their toppings are free, which is a plus for me. The oolong tea itself wasn't particularly special, but I did enjoy the tea jelly as it added more depth and a stronger tea flavor. I ordered 50% sweetness, and it still ended up being a bit sweet for my taste. Prices are reasonable, and parking is fairly convenient with a small lot in the back as well as street parking available. I wouldn't mind coming here again to try their other drinks. read more

This is such a hidden gem! ALittle Tea has great prices for their drinks and includes boba, pearl, tea jelly, or coffee jelly in the price! It's a great value for the college kids nearby at PCC. I really like their milk teas, teas aren't too strong and very smooth. We stop by frequently when we're in the area. Drinks are usually ordered from one of two kiosks by the wall and they make the drinks pretty fast. There are multiple tables inside if you want to have your drink. Most of the time when I go there's at least one or more open tables. Highly recommend this boba shop and will definitely be coming back. read more

Ordering was very easy which you can do on the Kiosk or at the register. I wish they had more freeze options as I asked if they could do a mango freeze with sago but they said it's not possible. The sago is much smaller than what I'm used to at other bubble tea places. I did enjoy the grapefruit included in the mango sago. You can customize your level of ice and sweetness which is a plus. The store was very clean and vibrant. It seemed like a nice place to sit and maybe read a book or get some light work done but not long hours. read more

Located on a main street in Pasadena with plenty of dining options nearby, this classic go to boba spot unfortunately missed the spot for me with their pearls. The tea was nicely brewed but the pearls were on the harder side which makes me wonder if it was boiled too quickly or was from the previous day. Order: four season milk tea with pearl and passion fruit tea comments: pearls could use a bit more attention but otherwise solid boba spot read more

ALittle Tea - four season milk tea with pearl and passion fruit tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I come to this place pretty frequently and there's a reason why. The prices on the drinks are the best consistent deal you can get nowadays for good quality milk tea. No funny business, just reliable taste you can count on. I also enjoy how easy it is to order and how chill it is inside. All you do is go to the electronic menu screen, place your order and wait for it to be called once you've made your purchase. Noteworthy for speed and quality. read more

Conveniently located across the street from PCC. The drinks are reasonably priced. They offer a variety of different teas and toppings. My favorite is the milk tea or green milk tea half sweet. There's also indoor seating just in case you need to hang out or study before or after class. Parking available at the rear or their street parking as well. read more

Quality boba spot. Drinks are always affordable and on point; toppings are FREE (most of them at least); and service is quick and accurate. I'm surprised it's not as crowded as other coffee shops and boba places in the area considering it's right across from PCC and parking is pretty ample. It's also generally clean all the times I've come as well with 5 tables for study groups or hangouts. read more

This tea place replaced my favorite bao sandwich place Bun Bun Bao which I was sad about, but the tea here is so good that I forgive it all lol!! Service has always been fast, usually we get our tea between 5-15mins! You can order on the kiosks which is super helpful to see all of the tea options and what's in all of them. There's a small back lot for parking but you can also find street parking in the neighborhood next to it. Drinks tried: -4 Season milk tea -Mint green milk tea -Assam black tea -Caramel milk tea I've enjoyed all of these tea I gotten so far! My favorite has been the 4 season milk tea and surprisingly the mint green milk tea (I've never seen milk tea paired with mint, and it actually works! Next time I want to try their unique matcha lemon freeze and oolong tea macchiato. Can't wait to come back! read more

Came here after getting dessert a couple doors down. This is a convenient location for PCC students. The interior is spacious and has several tables. I saw a few people working on their laptops.

It was solid and the tea flavor was strong. read more

We came here on a Tuesday night and we tried two of their staples- the Boba milk, tea, and the oolong tea with jelly. The place is bright and happy with a good vibe. The price is average for a Boba place. The customer service was excellent. Highly recommended. Thanks to Joel for great service. read more

Alittle has boba at an affordable price along with free two toppings as always. The parking is small but it makes sense due to the amount of businesses in the area. We got the Four Season Milk Tea with Tea Jelly and Pearls (mini boba) and the Oolong Milk Tea with boba. Four Season Milk Tea Usually for 70% sweetness, I was excepting it to be a bit more on the sweeter side but it tasted a bit less. Tea Jelly and pearl nice and chewy. The milk tea is creamy and delicious. Oolong Milk Tea The milk tea tastes fresh and has the subtle sweetness to it which is important in a milk tea. Boba is chewy and not too soft/hard. Also at 70%, it's not as sweet. The staff was nice and friendly and I was able to pick up my online order immediately with a small hiccup of trying to find my order number . Clean and modern interior just like the other ALittles except with a lot more seating and tables compared to the Rowland and San Gabriel locations. Perfect for students wanting to study and hangout with friends. read more

ALittle Tea - Left: Four Season Milk Tea with Tea Jelly and Pearl Right: Oolong Milk Tea with Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

You're really missing out if you haven't tried ALittle Tea! Delicious and super affordable. This location also has chewier boba than the San Gabriel one. There's tables, outlets, a restroom and wifi too! A great place to work or hangout. Parking is in the back with a 45min limit. I usually get the Four Season Milk Tea with Boba and Tea Jelly, no sugar. The tea flavor has a bitter and roasted taste without being too heavy like a black tea. They always pair their milk teas with a creamer, which gives it a smooth and refreshing taste. Most add-ons are free, so I would recommend the boba and the tea jelly. This is by far the best tea jelly I've had - slightly sweet with a tea flavor you can actually taste! Overall, could not recommend this place enough! read more

ALittle Tea - Medium Four Season Milk Tea with Boba and Tea Jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

While in the neighborhood we were looking for a good tea to go with lunch and A little Tea was close by so we decided to try it out. The store is clean and looks brand new with modern decor and cute neon signage on every wall. There is a self order kiosk with plenty of options to choose from. My daughter and I shared an oolong milk tea with added boba and it was delicious! Not powder or too sweet, we got ours at 75% and it was just right for a sweet treat. The staff seemed nice and our order came out within a few minutes. We will definitely come by again to try another drink but this experience was excellent. It's on the corner of Bonnie and Colorado so there's street parking with a parking lot for the nearby restaurants as well. read more

I'm already such a huge fan of the san gabriel location, but the pasadena location is highkey even BETTER!!! the boba is more al dente, the tea flavor is stronger, and the drinks come out faster!! Also there's like 3-4 tables to do work on and no music playing inside in case you get distracted easily! my go to order is always four seasons milk tea, 0 sugar, regular ice, with tea jelly and boba. I'm writing this review from the bay area and i miss it so much... read more

ALittle Tea Pasadena is located on a busy corner across from Pasadena City college. Easy area to walk and enjoy the neighborhood. There are many boutique restaurants and businesses in this area. ALittle Tea is a great place for quick service. Their drinks are quick and refreshing. They have tables for groups. There were a number of students picking up orders as well as a few utilizing the tables. The staff is friendly and very helpful when ordering. They are quick and very efficient. It took about 3 to 4 minutes for me to get my mango grapefruit tea with boba. It was just what I needed...very refreshing! Parking is easy on the side street or directly behind the building. The space is bright and cheerful. read more

Dropped by the new Alittle Tea in Pasadena, and I gotta say, it's a nice change from the always-packed San Gabriel location. They've got some really solid tea at prices that won't hurt your wallet. Most drinks are under $5, and you get one free topping with every drink. I went with the Oolong Tea and added tea jelly--only $3.25! Totally worth it, I mean where else can you get boba for that price. There's a good variety of options too, so I'll definitely be back again. If you're nearby, give this spot a try! read more

I stumbled upon this little gem. Situated across the street from PCC, I chanced it and tried their Mango Grapefruit Sago. It was so yummy, I've been back almost once a week for a treat. I've adjusted my order to normal ice and 30% sweetener. College student study and have their group meetings there. Place isn't super clean, but that's only the dining area. Behind the counter, looks good and I'm comfortable having them make my drinks. The staff is young and most are very nice and greet me when I enter. read more

I was taking a stroll after lunch and came upon this place! After looking through their menu and saw their teas were under $5, I knew I had to spare some coins to try. I ordered the tea jelly GMT with 50% sugar. The drink was okay--doesn't have a strong tea flavor and is on the sweet side, but can't complain due to the price point. read more

I highly recommend giving this place a try; their drinks are affordable and refreshing! If you're into matcha, definitely give their matcha latte a try. It isn't the best of the best but for the price is worth it My next favorite is their mango blast drink that hits the spot everytime! Besides drinks, if you're a student, this location has a few tables and comfy seats for you to enjoy your drink and get work done Once again I recommend giving this place a shot! read more

Been about 4 times, first 3 were actually really good value so didn't think a review was needed given current rating. BUT, this 4th time (Jul 22nd, 6pm) was god awful. We got four seasons and green milk teas as usual and literally threw one away full. Genuine waste of money. Idk if it was who made it or a bad batch of tea but holy crap we may never come back bc of how terrible it randomly was today. read more

Just tried this spot after some people recommend it to me with my current pregnancy craving obsession for boba (i've been going to Chi Cha San Chen) and it's officially my new go-to spot! I got the boba milk tea with 70% sweetness, and it was the perfect balance of flavor. It was a little on the sweeter side, but absolutely delicious (I think I'd still go with the 70%). The boba itself was perfectly chewy and soft--just how I like it. I also ordered a Green Milk Tea with coffee jelly without ice and also 70% sweet to save for the next day, and it tasted less sweet. So i'm guessing the boba made the regular milk tea sweeter. But either way, DELICIOUS. Also, great how they still fill your cup to the top when you don't get ice, so many spots have been so stingy and have all together stopped allowing it to be an option. Service was super easy because you order on one of the two kiosks. However, I can imagine there might be a wait when it's busier since a lot of customers love taking their time to look through all the options. Thankfully, you can also order ahead online, which is a nice convenience if you hate waiting around. The place is very clean with ample seating, and I even saw someone working on their laptop while sipping their boba, so it's definitely a great spot to hang out or get some work done. The price is great too--$4.49 for a large is definitely worth it. I got 3 drinks for around $12 that still tasted like TEA, UNHEARD OF. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! It's definitely much easier on the pockets compared to my beloved ChiCha San Chen. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area and craving a solid cup of boba! read more

I discovered this place while running an errand and I've gone out of my way to come here. The prices are great. The first time I tried their famous Boba Milk Tea. It was delicious but later I got sick. I recently found out that too milk messes me up which is sad because I've had many milk teas at other places with no issues. The next time I went I asked if they had a milk substitute. I was told no so that eliminates many things in their item that i wanted to try. I wish there were more Freeze series options. Right now only the Lemon Matcha one does not have milk. Also the kiosk doesn't let you add things to drinks. They could have better descriptions of what is in their drinks too. But definitely a good place!!! read more

Their jasmine milk tea was okay. The quality of the tea was pretty good, but just a little too sweet. I know you can adjust sweetness, but I usually just get 100%, and assume it's normal, especially if it's my first time there, which this was. Their boba was good, but they put in way too much, which made everything that much sweeter. Also, my kid didn't want a tea drink, just something fruity, but they didn't have any fruit drinks without tea. So instead, we asked for just a little side of boba, no drink. Sometimes my kid just likes the boba by itself. I asked if I could just pay extra for the boba with my drink and get it on the side. The person at the register hesitated, and the other lady quickly yelled out "no," which came off a little weird, because it was so forceful. So in the end, they gave me too much boba in my drink and wouldn't sell any for my kid. I just ended up finishing my drink and leaving the rest of the boba for my kid. But when I was ordering, I had no way of knowing they would give me so much, and like I said, I was weirded out by their refusal to let me add a side order of boba. I guess it was weird because it wasn't a "sorry we can't, for such and such reason," but just a really strong "no!" Maybe it was an off day for her? I would try this place again, though, adjust my order, and see if it's better a second time around. read more
