    Blended acrylic nail? Found in my husbands mango yogurt smoothie.
    mare r.

    Super cute drive thru . Very convenient ! They offer authentic boba drinks, no food colored pastel purple taro here! The mango yogurt drink was super delish too. We also ordered popcorn chicken to share with mild spicy flavor and it was so good and had a hint of curry! We couldn't figure out of the dipping sauce was frosting or butter. Don't know if we'd return because my husband found two hard plastic pieces of who knows what in his mango yogurt smoothie! At this point I pray it's not someone's acrylic nail that fell in and was blended ! Update the manager made things right for us and was very apologetic. We appreciated the attentiveness of the manager.

    My go to drink is the strawberry yogurt.... It's refreshing and perfectly balanced not overly sweet, but a little tangy from the yogurt mixed with fresh strawberry flavor. The yogurt reminds me of Yalkult. Also, this spot is drive-thru only and usually there's always a long line!

    We ordered Hokkaido milk tea with boba and Messy purple sweet potato drink with boba on a sunny afternoon. It was my first time trying both flavours. Really felt fresh and loved the taste. Boba felt fresh. The order was ready very quick. I was very happy with the quantity for the price. Very good deal. I would definitely recommend this place for my friends and family. It's a drive through and may be the front portion is under construction. The staff was very friendly and helped us with our order. Drive through ambience was ok.

    Love this place! Love that it has a drive thru, the service is awesome. The staff that helped me were very nice and helped with recommendations!!

    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.

    Came in around 11 nice and easy drive through window only one person, ahead of me, ordered lard brown sugar boba and a haikkaido milk tea. Both tasted good and we enjoyed them and their large cup for the price is a good deal.

    Cheese grape and peach & passion fruit green tea

    We tried the cheese grape drink and the peach & passion fruit green tea at Boba Ave. Both drinks were refreshing and tasted pretty good, especially the peach & passion fruit green tea. The downside is they don't have a huge variety of drinks to choose. The drive-thru line was also very long, so be prepared to wait during busy hours. Overall still a solid spot if you're craving a quick boba run.

    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!

    We were picking up drinks and popcorn chicken for my son and his friends for a play date. Upon ordering, I specifically asked for non spicy as the kids cannot eat spicy. I was told there would be a 10min wait which is fine. We were given our drinks at the window and told to park in the back to wait for our food. We waited for almost 40 minutes before getting back in line to check on our food and possibly get a refund. We were then told the food was coming right out which took another 5min before actually getting the food. We were already running late because we did not expect the food to take that long so drove off without checking. When we arrived to meet my son's friends, they all complained about how spicy the popcorn chicken was!!! No one was able to eat it. Boba Ave Express check your cameras, I placed the order for non spicy and saw it on the screen but was not printed on my receipt. BEWARE if you order food it takes a VERY long time. We figured it's drive through and it should be a quick trip. The person taking orders should not have told us 10minutes if it would take over 30. I would not have ordered had I known.

    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.

    Limited summer menu

    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!

    This is a late review from last December. But it's all good! Service was excellent and the premises…read morewere pristine. I always enjoy the food I order at Pressed. I will however say that the Peppermint Sundae (only available during the holidays) may not be satisfying to most. It's super healthy, don't get me wrong, and it has all the accoutrements like sprinkles of candy cane and tiny marshmallows but the chocolate isn't as creamy as you would expect. Of course! It's made of healthy stuff. But just a gentle warning to those who expect it to taste like a sundae - it won't. It's still a treat though! I love Pressed's other products like their juices. Everything tastes so pure as if they were pulled straight from Mother Nature's teat. Love this company.

    A clean little juice bar right by the food court with a chill vibe and quick service…read more ::Drinks:: Love the gut-health juice, light, fresh, and exactly what I wanted after walking around. Their cold-pressed juices feel clean and light. Greens 3 is easy and smooth, and Greens 2 brings a little more flavor, making them both enjoyable to sip. ::Food:: Their acai bowls are my go-to. I like the cowboy colostrum, acai protein, beauty, acai power, and the original acai bowls. The açaí bowls taste fresh and feel light but still filling. They also have dairy-free soft serve. ::Customer Service:: Huge shoutout to Daniella! She was super friendly and gave great service the whole time. She helped with recommendations and made the visit extra enjoyable. ::M's Notes:: - Indoor and outdoor seating - Parking lot and parking garage

    Amazing! Fantastic! Stupendous! Magnanimous! Bloody hell good! Blimey!…read more Let's begin this cat review...meow. 3CAT is a boba tea shop in Arcadia at Santa Anita mall. It is one of the most local popular tea shops in the valley. They gave a welcoming vibe and a convenient kiosk for faster ordering. I came late afternoon to grab some refreshing tea. I was in the mood for a new a new boba tea house so I said why not 3CAT. Atmosphere was nice and seems very popular with locals. They have limited seats both indoor and outdoor. I had an Avomango smoothie. It was one of the best boba smoothie I had in a while. They can rival Cha Redefine with the type of boba tea they serve. Service was spot on. Staff were very industrious and competent. Prices were reasonable that match the quality. Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed their refreshing smoothie. I highly recommend.

    Super good boba spot for a dessert drink! Wanted a sweet treat after dinner, so we headed to this…read morespot in the mall. It's pretty small inside but there are a couple of tables if you wanted to study, work, or hangout for a bit. I got the mochi mango drink with 75% sweetness. It was soooo creamy!! I really enjoy the fresh mangos that are on the bottom. Still had a good amount of sweetness at 75%. Drink came out quickly, but it was also not too busy. Probably not an everyday type of drink for me, but a great dessert :)
