I love boba, but I hate things that are overly sweet...so I have a pretty complicated relationship with boba because of that haha. Most boba spots are SO sugary even when asking for "light" sweetness, and it's honestly such a struggle for someone who can't hang, but Bee & Tea does the job well. Their teas taste freshly brewed and for once, I can actually taste the tea! Their boba is usually nicely cooked, not warm (pet peeve of mine) and again, not overly sweet. I get mine 25-30% sweetened everytime and its perfect for someone like me who just can't handle the sugar high. My partner loves their Thai tea and gets it at the normal sweetness levels and agrees, its not OVERLY sweet, while also being sweet enough. They also offer the option of adding condensed milk on the inside of the cup for extra sweetness if you'd like. The inside is always clean and super cute and quirky art on the wall. The service is always nice. I haven't had the food, so I can't speak on that, but for teas...this is by far my favorite spot! read more

I really wanted to like this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However the food was awful- I got the quiche and it was really bad like potatoes mashed with some white cream thrown in the middle, it was nasty. I got the mint mocha and it was watered down. On top of that the food was so hot and thrown in on the lid which is a soft surface and the box caved in. So respectfully, will not be returning. read more

I have tried many times the boba of cookies and cream . This drink look simple , but it is a must-try! The Cookie and Cream Boba is an absolute game-changer. The moment you take a sip, you're hit with a rich, creamy flavor that perfectly captures the essence of cookies and cream. The drink has a nice balance between the milk base and the cookie crumbles, making it feel like a treat that's both refreshing and comforting. My friend tried the green apple slushie with green apple jelly. She said it was yummy too ! The jelly itself was packed with a burst of green apple flavor, adding a fun, fruity twist with each bite. It's the perfect balance between refreshing and satisfying. Plus, the drink was beautifully prepared and came in a nice, clear cup that let me enjoy the vibrant green color. The staff at the shop were super friendly, and the service was quick. I also noticed that they offer a variety of customization options like ice level and sweetness level, so you can really make it your own. Feel free to adjust it further to fit your style, I recommend to drink 50% or 75% sweetness. read more

Nice convenient spot for smoothies and other drinks. I enjoyed a taro coco (milk tea) and it was huge. Nothing that stood out about it except a sweet hint of coconut.

My mom and I came here together and she has some food allergies/sensitivities. I'm not sure if he was the owner, but he was incredibly patient when hearing what my mom wouldn't be able to consume and gave great recommendations for her to try. The drinks were so incredibly delicious and the boba was amazing. You can definitely tell that they use natural honey as the sweetener. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My mom and I sat inside for some time because the environment was very cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would love to come back again when visiting California read more

While waiting for my Mom before heading out to the San Gabriel Valley area yesterday, I took notice of Bee & Tea (B & T) boba shop that is in the same shopping center as Paradise Buffet. I've seen it many times, but never thought to try them out until now. Glad that I did! I resonate with the word "bee" as it has a special significance to me. I find its name "Bee & Tea" very cute. It would have been much cuter if it was "Bee Me & Tea"... maybe in the next lifetime. Hey, I'm a hopeless romantic LOL! I got a large Lavender Therapy with boba & egg pudding and I got my Mom a small Black Purist with the same toppings as my drink. Both drinks without ice of course. Let's keep the original flavors in the drink please! I did notice a slight half inch of liquids knocked off from the top which is okay better than 1 or 2 inches off the top like some other boba places I know that do knock off that much if no ice (just not cool in my book!). Large was a very good size cup for $6+. Small came in at $5+. I say GO for the LARGE! LOL My lavender drink was good, but it lacked some depth in lavender and tea flavor. I'm a very big fan of lavender so I prefer my drinks to be a bit stronger in that area. My Mom said she liked her drink... black tea had a good punch! Boba was very soft, chewy, bouncy, and it had the perfect sweetness! As for the egg pudding, it was indeed very silky, but I would have liked it a bit sweeter. They do put a good serving of the toppings which I love... thank you B & T! Staff was nice and friendly. Service was very quick. Prices are very reasonable. They do have a rewards program so do get on that if you choose... I did! Ambience is bright and fun. I'll definitely be back to try their other flavors! Happy Bee Me & Tea'ing! (I can always wish for it, right?) LOL read more

I am absolutely terrified of bees, but seeing how unique the menu offerings are here, I knew that I just had to suck up my fears and go! I'm going to pre-face this review by saying how outstanding the staff are, going above and beyond. I already thought it was pretty annoying that we got there 15-20 minutes before closing, but groups of people came in after us, some like 2-3 minutes before closing, with really complicated orders that replaced and removed things from pre-built drinks, yet the staff accommodated them all. That's great customer service! We got the: 1) Green Thailandia with Matcha boba: -No adjustments. -It's a Thai green tea. Tastes like a more muted Thai tea that isn't as sweet or dense with the mix of green milk tea in it as well. It's sweetened with condensed milk, so that made it additionally yummy too. -Went beautifully with the addition of the matcha boba. Smaller in size that standard boba, but had great texture consistency. 2) Rose Blossom -It's a jasmine green tea with rose and strawberry -I got this half sweet. Doing so kinda muted the fruity flavor, but enhanced the tea flavor. -Great pick me up to keep up later in the night. -Strong jasmine tea flavor with the subtle sweetness of strawberry and light floral hints of rose. The aesthetics of the store are cute as well. With lots of hexagonal designs resembling a honey comb, the anatomy of boba wall, some funny jokes/sayings posters on the walls, and a photo op wall near the front. Their stamp card system is SUPER cute as well. It's on their tablet, but the cashier stamped it with a physical metal stamp thing and little bees appeared on the stamp card part. I've never seen this before, so it was really cool! Definitely gotta go back to fill out their stamp card and try more of their drinks. read more

Visited today, 08/21/21. This is my first time here. I got the Rose Blossom Green Tea with boba. 25% sweet and no ice as well. My drink was only $5.28. Drink was great! If you're okay with strong tea and less sugar then do 25%. If you're not a fan of strong tea then I would do 50% or normal if you're a sweet tooth. They have a lot of drink options, didn't have time to look at the entire menu and take pictures. I recommend trying this place out and will go back to try out their other drinks! They also have a reward system, just enter your phone # in the tablet when paying your drink. Quick and friendly customer service. read more

Heard good things about this place down the street from my house but actually got to try it first hand. Firstly, the staff was very friendly. Their menu is pretty big so I went with a jasmine milt tea with boba at 50% sweet. Boba was soft and good amount of sweetness and their tea was refreshing. Best part, their stamp system. Enter your number on their tablet and it's all saved their. They stamp. You get your credit towards a goody. Will be back. :) read more

**Open and available for Take-Out during Covid-19** Bee and Tea is fairly new and I finally had a chance to check them out. They have a variety of milk teas, non milk teas, lemonades, fruit smoothies, acai bowls, taro and honeydew boba drinks, boba smoothies, special coffees and milk teas and steamed Asian buns. Adapting to Covid-19 safety precautions they have the clear plastic shield up in front of their cashier and boba barista, so that keeps them and the customers safe from each other's germs. Face masks are required and social distancing is reminded. I was in the area buying boba gifts for some of my loved ones so I can drop it off as a symbol of love while being separated in compliance with social distancing. I was asking if they had egg pudding products, but they instead had a taro pudding. That is a unique topping so I decided to get that for all of the orders. The texture is the same with the taro flavors while is really appreciated and enjoyable for the Vietnamese loved ones I was buying the boba for. I ordered all regular drinks because their regular size here is as big as other place's large and their large is superrrr huge. I ordered 3 Black Purists ($4.59/each) which is their house special of the Black Milk Tea with taro pudding, 1 Taronator ($4.59) which is their house special of a Taro Milk Tea with taro pudding, and lastly for myself a Lavender Therapy ($4.59) a Lavender Black Milk Tea with taro pudding. I enjoyed the taro pudding and the milk tea base, however I barely taste any of the lavender. I really would have enjoyed it more if I could have tasted more lavender. On the bright side, the recipients of my boba said they enjoyed their drinks. Either that or they are just being polite. Probably more of a 4 star business based on my drink, but friendly service goes a long way and I really appreciate their dedication and hard work staying open during the pandemic, so I'll gladly round up. read more

I noticed Bee & Tea when my husband and I carpool home from work and get off the 10 fwy in Montclair. They are located north of the freeway and on the east side of Central Ave (Target is on the west side). They are located right between WaBa Grill and GameStop. There's also a Starbucks at the corner. On my day off from work, I walked one of my dogs at a nearby park and then came to Bee & Tea right at 11AM when they opened. To my surprise, there were already 3 customers ahead of me. There's no outdoor seating so I had to leave my dog in the car (parked in the shade under a tree). Other than boba tea, they offer smoothies, crushed fruit teas, cold brew coffee, lemonade, oatmeal bowls, acai bowls, steamed buns, soup, Asian wraps, salads and bowls. I ordered a Queen Bee (black milk tea, honey) with boba and I wanted to order a couple of their Steamed Buns (Bao). The guy taking my order mentioned if I wanted to save a little money, they had a Special for $9.95 I could get 3 Steamed Buns and a Milk Tea. I totally took his advice to go with the special and ordered the Shiitake & Vegetables, Char Siu Pork and Miso Steak buns. I also upgraded my milk tea to a large size. They use 100% raw organic honey in their Signature Boba. Overall, the texture of the boba was good (not too hard and had a nice chew), but not much tea flavor and a little too sweet. The buns themselves were on the small side and out of the 3 I tried, I liked the Miso Steak the best. I'd stop in again to try another drink and maybe one of their wraps or acai bowls. read more

Solid boba spot in Montclair which a huge parking lot making parking easy. This place has a slightly higher price point, but has a lot of cool specialty boba flavors and blends. My favorite is their Caramel Macchiato which was a solid choice with good flavoring. They also have milk teas with flavors such as pina colada, taro mixes, and other chocolate and coffee blends. Also a great place to study or hang out. Place also has free WiFi for your use. Solid place to go! My only downside is the slightly higher price, but if you go during happy hour from 1-4pm. read more

While a lot of tea places are closed due to the COVID-19, I am happy to be able to find this location on Yelp to help my tea needs and craving. It was so rough having no tea for a week. It is my first time coming here so want to try the usual what I would order which were Honey Green Tea & Black Purist. It was delicious. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There is even a rewards program so make sure to take advantage of it. Parking is not hard to find at all since it's in a plaza. I can't wait to come back to try other drinks. I end up coming back again to try Caramel Macchiato and S'mores. The Caramel Macchiato has a strong coffee taste if you like coffee while S'mores was really chocolatey. It's not my cup of tea, but will keep trying other drinks and see what I like. read more

Walked in at 7:45.. they close at 8pm and we were the only customers (it was dead) all we ordered was 2 Thai iced teas no boba, and got watered down nasty teas.

I didnt complain in the moment so I didn't say anything. She was rude and just wanted us to leave. Usually have a good experience here, as we come alot but today was horrible. $13 for two watered down Thai teas. read more

I ended up at Bee & Tea because the coffee place I was meeting a friend at was closed. Bee & Tea we're next door. We agreed to meet here instead and i honestly had no idea what to order.

My boba shop reviews are generally a long list of all the drinks I have ever gotten here and what I think about them. SERVICE: Super friendly and helpful! Every time I'm here I always have questions because I trust the team here to help me find a drink I'd like. Speedy service is always appreciated. AMBIENCE: It's a typical shop in a sleepy plaza. Plenty of seats and a restroom for customers. It's generally quieter if there aren't a lot of people ordering. DRINKS: Lychee Bliss: A refreshing tea drink. You can taste the tartness of the tea so don't expect the sweeter type of drink like Taste but I love that they have both lychee popping boba and lychee jelly as toppings. Matcha Dream: A very tasty milk tea if you love matcha. I really like their honey boba's consistency. As a bonus they also have matcha boba! It's like the crystal boba from Ding Tea but with a matcha taste. read more
