    Came here after brunch because I needed something cold and refreshing. This spot has tons of drinks to choose from, so it's hard not to find something you'll like. I grabbed the Crème Brûlée drink and a Vietnamese coffee. The Crème Brûlée was good smooth, sweet, and really hit the spot. The Vietnamese coffee was good too, but not as strong as I expected...tasted more like a powdered mix, kinda like Korean instant coffee. Still, overall this place is solid. Good vibes, good options, and perfect for a quick drink run

    I stopped by this tea place to get my wife a drink since I was already in the plaza this store is in for a Yelp event next door. I found parking just fine but parking can be hard to find depending on when you come. When I walked inside, all the workers greeted me. I look at their menu and called my wife. She said the passionade and fruit tea looked good but I should ask which one they recommend. The lady working the cashier recommend the passionade so I got a large one and asked for light ice. The place isn't that big inside. They made my order quick and I went to the other side to pick it up. I took it home and my wife loved her drink. It wasn't too sweet or plain and they put light ice like I asked.

    Banana Pudding Latte Vietnamese Coffee
    Stephanie B.

    Cute place, nice staff but I would go elsewhere for specialty coffee; it was very sweet w/o the coffee flavor. Great flavor on the banana latte but it's more of a dessert rather than a coffee & the Vietnamese coffee didn't have that bold coffee taste that it should; didn't even finish my drink because of how underwhelming it was.. Maybe their boba drinks are good but I would not come here for coffee.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Pretty decent boba shop near my house. I got boba milk tea and it was classic, I saw a lot of customers in line and also people hanging out inside. Seems like they are known for their matcha drinks. I will have to come back here and try more of their drinks.

    Mango coconut slush drink with boba
    Carissa P.

    I've been twice to this spot in the valley. The spot is in a small parking plaza with ample parking. Overall, BLTea is more of a social spot versus a working spot, but we were able to chill there for a few hours on our laptops. The first visit, I tried their mango coconut drink (actually not sure if they still have it) and an Oreo cookie (not pictured). Both items were solid! During this second visit I tried the banana cream matcha with oat milk and the cream cheese Oreo milk tea. Drinks are solid, and I'm particularly impressed with the matcha. Matcha lovers know boba-centered spots don't particularly have the best matcha, as their focus is on overall drinks. But the matcha here is earthy, not bitter, and meshes well with the fun toppings. Don't expect the best matcha of your life or expect a matcha like those in Koreatown, but it's solid. This second visit, I believe we snagged the only outlet behind the plants and non-working self-service kiosk, so keep that in mind. Service is good but it can get busy and I saw some other folks waiting a while. They also have a stamp card! Overall, great spot in the valley and will definitely be back!

    Carrot Cake Latte
    Melissa L.

    I've been to BLTea a couple of times and have always had a pleasant experience. Service is great and staff is friendly and attentive. It can get busy so sometimes drinks take a little longer to come out, but the quality is still there! I really love the seasonal drinks they offer, like the carrot cake latte. There is some room to sit and study or catch up with friends, and it's very nicely decorated. Will definitely keep coming back to try all the different drinks!

    Coffee Dalgona viet coffee
    Crystal M.

    4.5 stars Drinks are easily 5-star worthy--super delicious, vibrant, and smooth. I'd definitely return when I'm in the area. Great variety, and they offer vegan/non-dairy milk, which is a plus. Be prepared to wait if it's busy. The place gets packed, and with limited seating, the stand-and-wait time can be long, which is where the .5 star deduction comes in. Staff was busy but still friendly, with minimal interaction.

    Oreo Creamcheese Black Sugar Boba Milk
    Jessica L.

    I love love LOVEEE this drink so much!!! The first time I came, I got a Creme Sugar brûlée drink with boba and it was so good too!!! Perfect for someone with a sweet tooth!!! The staff is nice and welcoming when you walk in, and they got cute little decorations up!!! I also tried their Hawaiian cream cheese garlic bread and it was good too, but I didn't get a chance to take a picture

    Strawberry dubai mochi cookie
    Nicole O.

    I was on the hunt for a quick bite and coffee. I came across this little gem. I originally wanted something savory but upon entering I noticed they had a Dubai mochi cookie. I ordered that and a Vietnamese coffee. They were both delicious and I returned 4 times within 2 weeks to grab the Dubai mochi cookie. The service was fast and friendly. They offered to cut the mochi cookie for me. It was clean and quite cute inside. I can't wait to go back to try other drinks. I'm sad that they will no longer offer the Dubai mochi delight!

    Tiramisu Latte & Sesame Fresh Milk
    Mary A.

    BLTea is a great spot! We've been here before and always have a good experience. I highly recommend their matcha, especially the coconut matcha cold foam, which is my usual go-to. Today, we tried the iced sesame fresh milk and the iced tiramisu coffee latte. The drinks came out super fast, which we appreciated. The black sesame flavor was strong and nutty, but the drink itself wasn't overly sweet or heavy, exactly how I prefer it! It will definitely be my new go-to order. The tiramisu latte was on the sweeter side, but the coffee flavor still came through and tasted great. They even add a piece of tiramisu on top, which was cool! For the large size, the prices are reasonable. Parking is easy since there's a lot, although it can fill up pretty quickly during busy times.

    I found BLTea accidentally, I guess you can say. I was on my way to get coffee but the spot I was going to was closed. Undeterred, I went on Yelp to search for a nearby coffee place and one of the results was BLTea. So I quickly looked through their Yelp page to see what they had before driving over. When I got there the girl at the counter was incredibly friendly. She helped me decide on my Pistachio coffee with Espresso with the matcha cake. She also helped me decide that the next time I visit and there will be a next time I am going with a matcha drink and ube cheese Wait, I have gotten ahead of myself. My coffee had a great flavor and my dessert was incredibly moist; delicious! I am looking forward to going back!!

    Snowy peaches and pumpkin earl grey
    Austin K.

    Tried more things: - the snowy peaches: made with actual peaches and blended together. Not very sweet, and perhaps I should have gotten it during peach season. It has caffeine from the jasmine tea - pumpkin earl grey: a nice blend and you certainly get both flavors - earl grey salted egg cookie: I liked the egg better as part of the milky moon. You can't combine rewards cards, so don't forget to bring them. Also, the strawberry milk has jam, not fresh strawberries, just to know.

    Once again the best place to get a refreshment with your loved one! Beautiful ambiance, absolutely great service and delicious beverages!

    Ask the Community - BLTea

    Is it dog friendly?

    They don't have outdoor seating

    Is this a good place to do work for a couple hours, or is it not geared for that?

    Yes it's really nice. When I visited it was calm and they have some outdoor tables as well as indoor seating. I could totally see myself working there for a few hours.

    Do they have any caffeine free options other than just the straight berry tea? I love boba style drinks but am highly allergic to caffeine and I feel like I'm missing out per lots of boba and milk tea loving friends. Help?

    Thanks for asking. Our non caffeinated drinks are berry tea, black sugar boba milk, strawberry milk, ube, signature brush stroke, and kumquat koko. Hope this answering your question

Being a huge matcha fan, I was all set to order one, but then I spotted a unique drink on the menu called "Fluffy Hojicha." I got curious and asked a staff member what hijocha was. They told me it has a distinct roasted flavor, which really intrigued me. Not knowing what to expect from a roasted tea, I decided to give it a try. The wait for my sister's drink, along with a crème brûlée donut and a strawberry donut, was just a quick 3-5 minutes. The first sip of the Hojicha caught me off guard; it wasn't my favorite right away. But with each sip, I started to appreciate and eventually really enjoy the unique roasted flavor of the tea. The crème brûlée donut was a lovely addition - just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. ELNO is located in a building with other small vendors, and there's a seating area that fits only two to three people. I found parking easily since I went on a weekday around 4 PM. My sister mentioned that on weekends, parking is a real hassle. It's definitely worth stopping by if you're in the neighborhood.

Fortunately, they have plenty of condiments to add more spice and heat. Over all, Bafang Dumpling was better than expected.
