BenGong's Tea (Walnut) is not bad. I ordered the Burnt Brûlée Boba Milk Tea ($6.50 - 50% Sugar - Regular Ice). When thoroughly mixed, this drink carries a cuddly sweetness. It succeeds with capturing that fresh brûlée flavor. Unfortunately, its boba pearl's texture resembled wet glue. I arrived at BenGong's Tea (Walnut) on Sunday (around 11:44AM). Parking was easy that weekend. The lot is very big. This business is located across Mt. Sac. (aka: Mt. San Antonio College). Staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. There's no self-service kiosk, so Staff (receipt says Merrielle) helps guide the customer with sweetness level and ice level. Merrielle gave wonderful recommendations, and Merrielle worked hard. The drink took three minutes and nine seconds. Good pace! As mentioned, the Burnt Brûlée Boba Milk Tea ($6.50 - 50% Sugar - Regular Ice) presented immense potential. I genuinely enjoyed its presentation and flavors, however, the boba felt below average. As I continued to chew that boba, my smile slowly vanished. It tasted like mochi dough after a while. Hopefully, the boba improves in the future. Concerning ambiance, BenGong's Tea (Walnut) felt dusty and unclean. Despite arriving near opening hours, I found old long strands of hairs on its chairs. There's also thick swathes of dust collecting on the windows' crevices. The sofa had old dried stains. And despite its attempt to look modern, the place felt dusty and worn-down with age the longer I lingered. My eyes transfixed on a small fruit fly that lazily crawled along its white wall. All in all, BenGong's Tea (Walnut) felt like a place that lost its passion. Fortunately, there's still utility at BenGong's Tea (Walnut). There's customer internet with password; the details are posted on the counter. There's also two electrical outlets (but one is somewhat uncomfortable to use). There's a gender neutral restroom in the back. Also, the music is very soft. However, the location is a little cramped. There's about three tables. Overall, BenGong's Tea (Walnut) is not bad. The Burnt Brûlée Boba Milk Tea ($6.50 - 50% Sugar - Regular Ice) carried good flavors. With time, I only hope this location improves. 3.9 out of 5

Tried their crème brûlée mill tea and their grape sparkling tea. Both had the right amount of sweetness and i like how they used real grapes. They put a decent amount in it as well.

My fiancé ordered two drinks here today and let me say it was totally awkward. First, the Chinese lady behind the counter asked her to order in Chinese when she was literally reading off the drink names in English from the menu and gave her an attitude. My fiancé ordered a Red Bean Sago Milk Tea and a Strawberry Cheese Slush for me. My drink was fine, but nothing special about it. My fiancés drink on the other hand was another story. Let's start by saying they ran out of sago, but didn't tell her until after the order was placed. They didn't allow her to change drink orders nor would they let her substitute the missing sago out for something else. She was only allowed to change the ingredients on the list for that drink. Totally unacceptable. There is literally a R&B Tea a few shops down from this one, but my fiancé wanted to give them a shot. Big mistake. I would recommend walking pass this shop and going to other options. Any other option to be quite honest.

Osmanthus Cloud Milk Tea
Felicia K.

Came here after eating lunch in the plaza. There are like a million boba shops in the plaza so it's hard to choose where to go. We ordered online to get it faster but it was a decently sized order so it still took some waiting before we got our drinks. The vibes were okay. It's right next to a college so I assume there are quite a bit of students that go there after class. I'm not sure if the store is trying to save money either but it was pretty warm inside. It didn't feel like the ac was on so we waited outside where it was much cooler. I ordered the Osmanthus Oolong cloud and it tasted great. There were some bits in there that gave it some texture which I love. It definitely has a unique taste to it which is why I'm more drawn to coming here compared to other places. I've tried their mango sago drink before too and that's probably my favorite. I'd come here again if I were in the area!

Special Boba Milk Tea
Vanna T.

This was one of the worst boba place we've been to. It used to be really good, but has definitely gone downhill. Ordered the Burnt Brulee Boba Milk Tea & Burnt-Brown Sugar Boba Tea. Both drinks tasted really funky and had a weird flavor, like expired milk or so. We ended up tossing them away cuz it made our stomach upset. Service wasn't great either. Felt ignored when we arrive and took a while for our drinks to be made.

This place does not serve what you actually order. I ordered shrimp balls with my oden, but instead received pink, artificially colored leftover balls, falsely labeled as shrimp balls. This is misleading, unacceptable, and deceptive. Customers should be aware that the food does not match the menu description.

We're usually big fans of BenGong's, and we ordered our usual: 2 peach oolong milk teas (light ice, half sugar), 1 with 25% sugar, and a fruit green tea. But this time, the peach oolong milk tea had a noticeably sour taste--not the usual smooth and refreshing flavor we're used to. Not sure if it was the tea base or the milk, but it threw us off a bit. The fruit green tea was still nice and fresh, but overall, this visit didn't quite hit the mark. Hoping it was just a one-off, because we've had much better from here before!

Come for the wishing tree at BenGong's Tea - Walnut, but don't expect too much from their drinks. My niece and I came here to hang out and chat, and to make wishes. There are a few tables and a sofa to hang out around. Service was pretty unfriendly and we felt rushed even when there was no one behind us. My niece ordered their Passion Fruit Super Fruit Cup ($6.50) 50% sweet and I ordered a Strawberry Yakult Tea ($6.50) 75% sweet. You will have to ask for the wishing paper when you order because they keep it behind the counter. The yarn, scissors and pens are by the tree. The drinks were made pretty slow cause we had time to think about our wishes, write them out, and hang them up before the drinks were done. When we got them it looked so refreshing but it tasted so bad. My niece was saying how her fruit was albino with no color and sadly stale. It took away from the drink and would have been better off with just the tea. Also there was so much fruit, it took up a lot of the volume of the cup. I typically like strawberry yakult drinks from other tea houses but this was bitter and still sweet even though I reduced the sweetness. It was nice to try and I really like their wishing tree... but the drinks are not giving me a reason to come back.

Passion Fruit Yakult Tea
Ryan G.

Small boba shop located across Mt. SAC. A ton of different drink options, all of which are pretty good. I tried the passion fruit yakult, and while I wouldn't try it again - my friend's tiramisu drink was way better. Staff are friendly, and drinks come out quick. It's a quiet place to hangout and chill with friends. Parking can get kind of atrocious in this plaza.

The aesthetic of this place is reason enough to stop by. The service will convince you to order, cause from the minute you walk in, you are welcome with a smile. The FLAVOR of this Peach Milk Tea will turn you into a fan. I want to say this is one of the best, IF NOT the best one I've had in the entire SGV area. This is by far a fave summer rec of mine. Prices are still reasonable, and the place usually has plenty of parking. Located in a busy school area this is your stop for a quick afternoon boba tea break.

Menu

Starting off, I love the amount of options on the menu. My friend and I ordered the strawberry cheese slush and it was good. I also tried the taro milk slush another time and it was delightful. There's comfortable seating here, I love that the chairs are comfortable to sit in and there's plenty of space on the table if you want to sit here and do work. I've been here twice already and the service is friendly, but has been slow both times considering there weren't many people in the store.

BenGong's tea is located right across Habits burger and in the plaza directly across Mt SAC. I ordered Mango Pomelo Sago one of their signature drink. Honestly it tastes good texture wise. But the flavor and drink didn't impress me. Service is friendly and you order at counter as I don't see a kiosk. Ambience of store is really simple, clean, and modern.

Jasmine, Brown Sugar and Black milk teas w boba
Michelle Y.

Stopped in after lunch to pickup some boba drinks for my family. This is such a cute boba shop, it is clean, bright and staff was friendly and polite. They have a wide variety of different teas, milk teas and cheese teas. So many different options to choose from. The young lady who took my order helped explained what goes well with what. She was very thorough. I really appreciated that and it was nice she wasn't trying to rush through my orders. The milk teas and strawberry sparking tea I order were very consistent with taste and textures of bobas were nice soft and chewy. They have this cute wishing tree set up in the front you can write down you 2024 wish and hang it on the tree. I thought it was a nice touch given it's the holiday season. Definitely recommend!!!

R&B Tea is a nice little spot in Walnut, located across the street from the college. They have self…read moreservice kiosk to order. I ordered a brown sugar milk tea which was roughly over $7. I believe this drink is fairly priced for the area it is. There was plenty of seats that were open and I was able to sit down and work on my homework in the meanwhile. As soon as I sat down, my drink was ready. I really appreciate the speedy service they offer. I really enjoyed my drink. The boba pearls were delicious! They weren't too flavorful, but they had the perfect consistency. It was pretty balanced and tasted good with the drink! The drink itself was really delicious. It was a perfect brown sugar tea I'm so excited to come back and try more fruity teas, my favorite! This is by far my favorite boba spot in Walnut.

R&B is a nice shop located at Walnut Plaza Shopping Center…read more parking is spacious. We were greeted once we entered the shop. There are many indoor seating. The shop has a delightful mural that make the place warm and inviting. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They have various assortment of refreshing drinks. The menu includes yakult, sparkling, agua frescas, ice milk, stormy ice blended, milk tea, fruit tea, fresh tea, coffee and more. I ordered : -Mango Matcha Latte with oat milk -Strawberry Matcha latte -Watermelon Mango Tea with crystal boba The drinks were refreshing with perfect sweetness. The shop was very busy but the service was very fast. R&B is a nice shop to stop by and try their refreshing drinks.

The tea aroma at Chayan is seriously rich and incredibly fragrant! I absolutely love that feeling…read moreof "the tea is the star of the show"!! Jinjunmei · Golden Treasure This one really stole my heart! The Jinjunmei tea has a naturally sweet and rich aroma, and it pairs so well with the creamy topping and crunchy pecans. The three flavors complement each other beautifully. You get that rich tea aroma first, followed by the smooth, creamy texture, and then a nice nutty crunch from the pecans. There are so many layers of flavor! Rose Oolong First of all--this drink is SO pretty! The pink color is absolutely gorgeous, and it instantly puts you in a good mood just holding it. And there are popping boba inside! One bite and they burst with juice Pink + rose + oolong + popping boba = impossible to resist. "Youthful Days" This is a jasmine green tea milk tea. The jasmine aroma is delicate and floral, and it becomes softer and smoother when blended with fresh milk, while the tea flavor still shines through. I really love milk tea that still actually tastes like tea! It's kind of like the name "Youthful Days"--fresh, clean, and uncomplicated. Matcha Latte If you're a matcha lover, definitely give this one a try! It's not one of those overly sweet green milk drinks. Instead, the natural aroma of matcha really comes through, with a subtle tea bitterness that gives it more depth. My picks, in order: Jinjunmei · Golden Treasure Youthful Days Rose Oolong Matcha Latte

Worst customer service ever!…read more We hadn't even placed our order yet. As we walked in, we saw a sign advertising a buy-one-get-one-free promotion for October 16. When we asked about it, the employee responded rudely in Chinese, saying it was online only. I don't speak Mandarin, so I politely asked her to explain in English. Instead of responding professionally, she spoke to us with an attitude, turned around, rolled her eyes, and complained to her coworker that we were bothering her. The whole interaction was incredibly unpleasant and unprofessional. We were so put off by her attitude that all six of us decided to leave without ordering. We literally looked at each other and said, "Let's get out of here!" Why would we want to spend our money at a business where customers are treated this way? No thank you! If the owner cares about their business, I strongly recommend reviewing how employees interact with customers. Customer service can make or break a business, and employees with this kind of attitude are driving customers away instead of welcoming them. Put some camera and listen the interaction! For reference, the employee we encountered was a young, slim woman with brown hair in a ponytail. Employer was shorter and Asian, while the other was taller and wore glasses. You lost six customers today because of one unpleasant interaction. First impressions matter, and we certainly won't forget this one.

I had a poor experience at Qyuancha Teashop (Walnut). I ordered the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea…read more($4.75) w/ Whole Milk (75 cents) and Brown Sugar Boba (additional 75 cents). Unfortunately, it's a frugal, bland drink with tasteless, squishy boba. There's no tea flavor.... this drink tastes like tap water with milk. (Quick Note: If you don't request milk, they use powder.) I arrived at Qyuancha Teashop (Walnut) on Friday (around 12:24PM). The customer parking lot had plenty of spots. Parking is easy. Customers order at the counter or self-service kiosk. Staff is welcoming, laid back, and helpful. My drink took about three minutes. Quick. As mentioned, I disliked the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea ($4.75) w/ Whole Milk (75 cents) and Brown Sugar Boba (additional 75 cents). It tastes like "nothing." The flavor of watered-down milk and water jello balls encapsulates its flavor profile. The boba was not bouncy; rather, the texture resembles deflated marshmallows. However, the lovely ambiance at Qyuancha Teashop (Walnut) is the ONLY reason why the review score is so high. Despite the awful, frugal drinks, this business is a college student's hidden paradise. The location is very clean, calming, and comfortable. There's about 15 tables, and there's about 8 electrical outlets. There's also customer internet with password; the details are on a small card at the counter. This location also has a self-service water station and a gender neutral restroom. Qyuancha Teashop (Walnut) is also decorated lovingly. I appreciated the book aesthetic and the hanging leaves. It's also very quiet inside. The location felt like a well-ventilated, comfy library. If searching for a study spot, this is such an easy recommendation. Overall, I had a mixed experience at Qyuancha Teashop (Walnut). The location is a cozy, creative study/work spot, but the tea is very bland, poorly made, and unmemorable. This business screams wasted potential. Currently, Qyuancha Teashop (Walnut) is a not bad place. Drink - 1 out of 5 Ambiance - 4.7 out of 5 2.9 out of 5
