Strawberry yogurt with boba
Annie T.

Finally gave this drive thru boba a try and my impression so far is meh. The first time I got the strawberry yogurt with boba and it was so good that I went back the next day and it was a complete 180. Seeing that it's the same drink I ordered within 48 hours, I found a big discrepancy in the quality of the drink. The 2nd visit did not have the same texture or temperature as the first time and the boba was also much tougher. Unfortunately I'll give this place a break until there's a desire to come back.

Unevenly spiced -- here is one of many pieces of chicken -- half extra, EXTRA, extra spicy, half mild -- we ordered mild A lot of these pieces were way overly spiced & caked with powder to the point of 70% being inedible for either my partner (usually able to handle any spicy stuff) or I to finish. My partner tried to finish but had to throw out majority unfortunately :( -- was not even enjoyable at all, just pain -- helped me get my water intake in early for the day though :,) We love the sizes of the pieces & flavor here, been coming here for 2-3 years. But for some reason, the spices have been so patchy & inconsistent -- last month they added more pepper which threw the flavor off, this month it seems the spices are applied lazily and uneven -- asking for mild gets you extra, extra spicy. Sad we havent been able to enjoy this weekend's or last weekend's batch but we'll be taking a break for now.

Great staff however they don't have a nondairy milk tea option. I hope they will in the future! Also they only have fresh milk boba which is basically milk sweetened with boba which is their caffeine free option. Again, limited but still I think their customer service and crunchy popcorn chicken makes up for it. Also love hat their a drive thru that's open late!

They finally have little covers for lid so you can shake drink without anything spilling over.

I still visit Boba Ave when I need a drive thru. My dog appreciates the rides and we don't have to get out of car. But I'm sure it's getting harder to compete with all the drink places opening up down the street. Thank you boba Ave for being consistent with your drink quality and offering food snacks as well. They also updated their drinks to have a little cover so you can shake it and not fear anything leaking through the plastic lids. Thanks for wonderful service as well.

Mango Yogurt Blended

Great service and delicious drinks! Especially their yogurt blends And the convenience of a drive thru makes Boba Ave a must try in the SGV.

Limited summer menu
Michelle T.

The convenience of a drive thru is the reason why I always come back. They don't have non dairy options so I tend to stick with the fruit teas. I recommend ordering 75% or 50% sugar as they do get pretty sweet. They use to have two windows in their tunnel but now it's one ordering window and a pick up window on the other side. I feel this does make the line go by faster!

Milk tea
Travis P.

Definitely one of the best when it comes to taste. I've been here a handful of times and it's usually pretty crowded, but this time I came on a weekday and the drive-thru was actually empty. We got a milk tea and a yogurt drink -- both were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly sweet. It's definitely on the pricier side, but honestly worth it for the quality. A simple spot, but oh so good.

Popcorn chicken

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage is located in Santa Anita Mall…read more There are ample parking spots available. The shop menu includes tea& milk, handcrafted mochi, Fresh Fruit& tea, tea latte, mousse tea& pure tea, return drinks, hot drinks, and seasonal drinks. I ordered Mango sweet Dew. The drink had many delicious ingredients; smoothie, Jasmin green tea, mango,coconut milk, agar boba, grape fruit with less sugar. It was a very unique, pleasant and refreshing drink. It is one of the best mango drink I have tried!The service was kind of slow, but the drink worth the wait. I will be back to try other drinks

There's not that many options, but the competition is still pretty steep for the boba wars at the…read moreSanta Anita Mall and considering this is diagonally right across Cha Redefine, that's a tall order to take. Many 3CAT boba places are popping up all over SoCal and I hope not to the point of saturation. It's not my go to boba place at the mall, but I'd say it's a close second. If Cha is cooked, this is a good place to default to if I don't want to travel outside of the mall or if I forgot my Wushi gift card (happens all the time now). Sometimes there's a super long line outside of this one too, not sure because of some kind of deal or just the standard crowds or short staffing. Other than that, like every other 3CAT place, not bad. They have unique drinks here and there with interesting toppings like osmanthus tea jelly, barley popping boba, soybean mousse, and much more. If you don't like your drink, they'll remake it for you and if you truly want to avoid the crowds you can order online for pick up. My go tos here are the Biscoff Jasmine, Soybean Dragon Well, and Mochi Oreo. Always less ice and less sweet to no sugar (not recommended, but some of these are dessert drinks that off set it).

The Loose Teas is a cool local place that serves real tea!…read more Real tea to me = loose leaf options. I've tried a few. One of the new finds and a current favorite is the Kyoto Cherry Rose. I got it on a whim as a latte, that's not too sweet. It was so yummy and fragrant. I am back to get the tea to take home. Vibe is low key. they have some seats inside and a few outside. Sit where you like. There are also cute tea knick knacks and things. My friend and I got some super cute mugs from here. Great place for gifts imo Service is cool overall. I'd rate 4.5/5 on this because they forgot my macaron once and I got charge for it. Found out when I got home and making the drive back for the mac wouldn't have made any sense. They have food too. I don't remember ever eating here but they look good from what others were eating.

We found them on Yelp and took the drive. They have many teas. You are charged by ounce, half pound…read moreand up. We got a half pound of tea for sleep and it was between $31-33.00. They also sell sandwiches, coffee, smoothies and tea pots and cups. I had a smoothie, and it didn't taste like fresh fruit in it. ‍ it was $6.25 for a large. It was a nice environment and they had seating and tables. The shop tenders didn't say much or really engage unless spoken to first. I would have liked a bit more interaction to introduce their teas to the first time visitors. The spot was pretty busy with a steady flow of customers.
