If their white peach option is available, I will always get it -- it's that good. Ordering is super easy: you can order online in advance or use the tablet in-store, which makes the whole experience quick and seamless. A delightful little spot that never disappoints, although if it's busy you will have a bit of a wait. Luckily it's in the mall and there's tons of seating!

My go to's are iced honey osmanthus oolong tea and iced honey green tea + taro balls, light sweetness and light ice. They're sooo refreshing and always hit the spot. If you get a non-milk drink, I *highly* recommend adding taro balls. For milk-based drinks, add boba, they're cooked to perfection. The workers are friendly and fast. Love this place :) The cons: one cup size (wish they offered a larger size) & on the pricier side

Although most of my friends rave about this spot, I haven't consistently had a good tea from here…read more I tried this place a few times since my friends are big fans. I also came back a few times because of their promotional discounts but mostly left unsatisfied. The drinks are inconsistent in taste and sugar levels. I feel that I have only gotten a tea once that I enjoyed but all the other times I felt I could make better tea at home. They do have a lot of different teas to try so I may give this spot another chance as my friends always insist that I go back. The place has a decent amount of seating to hang out but for some reason there is a weird odor inside. The place looks clean and the service is friendly.

Tea is amazing and not too sweet! Everyone is super friendly and would definitely come back :)read more

Pros: extremely veteran boba experts Cons: I don't want…read morepeople to know about this place or it'll get busy. Our go-to are the mango mango slush or strawberry slush half sweet no chamoy, royal milk tea with boba, and Peach green tea half sweet. Drinks are ALWAYS consistant and yummy. Even more, the boba is consistantly divine-- fresh, chewy, and sweet. Drinks come out quick even when it's busy. I'm always amazed how many drinks they can pump out quickly. The staff here are boba masters. Prices here are competitive/standard. Expect about $5/drink. They also have a stampcard program! Buy 8 and get 1 free. We frequent Hello Boba because it's nearby and good. Even if there's more unique places like half and half, 3 cats, and twinkle brown sugar. I prefer Hello Boba. They're just really good, consistant, and quick. Always hits the spot. Staff are generally friendly and greet you with a smile. There's this one swole asian dude who's that has a rbf. I don't think it's personal though, he's probably always sore from hitting the gym. I almost never get a smile from him-- it's just business. He shows his love in a through his consistant drinks. Which I can appreciate. I usually take my drinks to go. But there was one time me and my son hung out and played board games. They have a nice variety. But just like all other boba places, the games are usually really beat up from all the useage from previous customers. Very casual. The only downside is that this place is dangerous to my waistline. Overall good for everyone of all ages and different ethnic backgrounds. Special Shoutout to Tuan. When my wife or son wants boba, sometimes I forget what our go-to order is. Tuan knows our order. It's people like Tuan that make places like Hello Boba special.

I've noticed that some of my drinks at the other places are sometimes watered down, whereas the quality has always been consistent here. The dong ding oolong milk tea with cream and bubble is usually my go to order. Drinks here usually run on the sweeter side so I always get light sweetness. This shop is definitely my go to place for drinks whenever I'm in the area.

There's no shortage of boba spots in the SGV, but Chicha San Chen is one of the better ones to me…read more It is a bit pricey and there can be a long line, but you can avoid that by ordering online. They use this tea espresso type machine that I don't really see anywhere else, and it gives the drinks a strong, clean tea flavor which I like. Their boba is also consistently good, nice and chewy every time. It's a brand from Taiwan so you know they take their tea seriously. They also give you a cute carrier sling for your drinks which is a nice touch. They've been expanding with more locations like Arcadia/Alahambra, so they're definitely doing something right. If you haven't tried it yet, I'd say it's worth checking out.

Came during a weekend afternoon. They had a small parking lot shared by other stores in the plaza…read more Place was pretty empty when we arrived. They were having a promotion for the members where some of their drinks were buy one get one half off. We got the Uji Matcha Boba MIlkTea or 宇治抹茶黑式. We upgraded the drinks to large size for 75 cents each. Got 50% sweetness. Felt the sweetness level was alright. The bobas were too sweet. Would asked to not put bobas next time. Liked that they have an outdoor seating area. But there were a lot of people smoking outside. The indoors were really cold. So be sure bring a jacket. Decor was really nice.

I was debating to…read moreorder other items but that sample just left me with such impression and I had to order it (perfect sweetness and perfect ice) While waiting, my husband found me and ask what am i doing in a spa needless to say, the ambiance is definitely a world apart from other places.

There were samples to try, which I believe gets rotated. These were the drinks I got: Pinewood Milk Tea ($6.85): It was good. It tasted like a lighter version of earl grey. 3/5 stars Koan-Im Oolong Milk Tea ($6.85): Also good and very light. This one was supposed to be roasted, but it didn't really stand out. 3/5 stars Both teas I got were quite light. I genuinely don't know if it really lives up to any of the tea shops in Alhambra, but it was decent. Price is on the pricier side. Customer service was great though. Parking is street parking, which is free. I'll come back to try other drinks with their toppings. But for now 3 stars....

They gave me…read moretheir popular mango pomelo sago, strawberry matcha, pistachio coconut, and pistachio latte to try. The mango pomelo was smooth creamy very mangoy and had a little bit of soft sago, chewy agar boba, pomelo pulp, and mango chunks. The strawberry matcha had a thick salty cheese foam top, earthy milky mellow matcha, and a bit of bright tart sweet strawberry jam at the bottom. The pistachio coconut one was basically just lightly coconuty flaved coconut water and the jasmine latte was lightly floral, not too sweet, and milky. Both were topped with crunchy pistachio bits and foamy, airy, full whipped creams. Everything was not bad but was nothing super special. Overall this place eh.
