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.

Cheese grape and peach & passion fruit green tea
Eric W.

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.

Menu 2026

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!

really good! we tried 5 drinks and they were all good! This drink is the mango yogurt blended drink with foam. Recommend this place! Love how its a drive thru and they're very quick.

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.

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

Popular drinks here are the mochi series, avomango, and osmanthus. My go to at 3Catea can vary but you can't go wrong with any drink options. Personal favorites consist of Mochi Mango/Matcha, White Peach, and Osmanthus Oolong. Toppings are plentiful, personal favorite is the agar boba, always fresh and easy to sip. This shop is smaller than all the other 3Cat locations but for good reason, they keep it simple and quick. No tables around, more of a grab and go type shop. Highly recommend to order on Snackpass app to collect rewards and to fast track your order. (Every 10 drinks = 1 free drink of your choice) Overall, a wonderful boba shop with high quality delicious drinks, never disappointed by 3Catea anywhere and this location is no different. Always a good option whenever shopping at Santa Anita Mall.

i love this place. i love acai in general, but other places don't hit the same as vita cane…read more firstly, they allow as much toppings as they offer and your bowl can hold. what!! don't go easy on the toppings. they really make the bowl. the acai part is always amazing as well. i usually only get the acai and the mango flavors, but the other options did not disappoint those few times i got them. i forgot if they also allow an unlimited amount of base flavors. probably. i love the wide variety of toppings and bases they have. it makes me feel like i have freedom, like this is why i live in america in the first place. i always get loads of fruit because i like acting healthy and also their fruits are pretty good! their granola is awesome too. i usually get the strawberry vanilla, but i'm sure the others are good as well. they also have a few dressing choices, which are honeys and maybe syrups ?? overall, this is an amazing place for a dessert that tastes absolutely awesome while still being healthy! i forgot about the sugarcane (which is kinda what this place is all about)!! never disappoints. i like the really big one with coconut in it. tastes amazing.

Stopped by half an hour before closing. The staff was efficient and friendly…read more What we wanted was straightforward - half a gallon of sugarcane juice. It came in a large resealable bag. Taste-wise it was above average but not the best we have had (that honor goes to Cococane in OC, which also costs less) but still quite good. Didn't have any problems with parking at the lot, but then again we were there on a weeknight.
