Popcorn chicken was slightly too undercooked, WAY too salty and the quantity is pitiful, especially so in consideration of the price you pay. read more

Bubble Puff & Tea - Bubble Puff with nutella - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I go to the college right by this place and have gone here as my top 3 options in the place. I usually buy the Mango Slush but I just tried the Strawberry Green Tea and the drink is actually really nice. The mild popcorn chicken on my first purchase a while back was pretty spicy but they fixed it with each time I ordered. I'm not exactly a big fan of the Mini Corndogs but they're not bad read more

This is my second time coming! The bubble waffle is pretty good. It's not that sweet, and the mochi filling tastes really soft and chewy. I ordered an original bubble puff with half mochi filling and half chocolate filling, but the employee made a mistake. She gave me a free half waffle with the filling she forgot to add though! I appreciate the customer service. :) Also, the white peach oolong tea is great. The tea isn't overwhelmingly bitter, nor too sweet (I got 75% sugar). It had a subtle peach flavor that I like. I'd definitely come back for a third time. +there's a special soft opening promotion for 15% off until 10/6 read more

I didnt know this place was right in front of PCC! I wasnt sure to order ahead since it was 25-32 min drive from work. I was so excited to try this place. I ordered the house specialty: Messy Brown Sugar Boba and it did not disappoint. Made sure to mix it before drinking, it was very tasty. I also got the Hokkaido Milk Tea and my boyfriend said it was good. I also ordered the popcorn chicken with mild spice( next time i will order it to be hotter) the sauce that came with it tasted watered down..wasn't sure if it was supposed sweet and sour sauce. Overall the popcorn chicken was delicious! And I got the Bubble Puff with Ice Cream and it was the best. So good. The only thing that bummed me out was that the place has no shade. Its in direct sunlight and was warm inside the place. I waited outside next to the two palm trees. read more

New place. Wanted to try the messy brown sugar boba but they were out of boba. So I guess I had to try a different beverage. Got me some Durian Smoothie, Peanut Butter and Banana for my SO and mochi bubble puff pastry. Really good, especially the durian smoothie. Real durian fruit! Will come back for what I originally ordered. read more

The mochi waffle was really good! I wish I got it with ice cream but I was trying to be good that day. I believe we had a 10% off with Yelp check-in as well. It was warm, crunchy and chewy at the same time. I wanted to come back to try the tofu pudding and other desserts. However, I drove by last week and they are close for the month of December for training purpose. (need to turn off that blinking OPEN sign!) I'll be back in Jan 2020!! read more

Bubble Puff & Tea - Mochi waffle - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

It is an amazing place to go to although all of the drinks are a little too much for my palate sometimes but it is close to my college. The service is good and the ambiance was a little lack luster but it's still okay to me at least. read more

Bubble Puff & Tea - Taro Milk Tea (Boba is not Included) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I ordered Taiwanese tempura and was given barely any and they looked pretty dinky. Although it tasted good enough, the hot pepper they put on top was WAY too spicy, even though I asked for mild! Our lips were literally numb after just taking one bite. We also ordered messy brown sugar drink and we added bobba because the order screen prompted us asking if we wanted bobba for an additional cost, and it did not indicate that it already comes with bobba. So when the worker was making the drink, she then informed us after the fact that it already comes with bobba. So I asked if we can put the extra bobba we paid for in a separate cup. The manager (ostensibly) said no. Seriously? What kind of bad customer service is this - so we paid for extra bobba but got less of the drink itself because your order screen prompted us to pay extra for the bobba. Not returning to this place obviously - bobba stores are a dime a dozen. Learn some good customer service, otherwise you will go out of business. read more

Awesome boba right near campus! They did get pretty crowded around lunchtime and it took a while for our order to come out. Taste wise, nothing to complain, they know what they are doing! read more

Bubble Puff & Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I am writing for two reasons 1. This place has the most bomb drinks and bubble waffles i have ever tasted and everything was fresh and made to order. 2. The customer service was above and beyond what i would expect of any establishment. Visited with a group of kids and while the kids played across the street at PCC.. our ordered was being made. We picked up our order went back to the campus to enjoy our food and drinks only to realize we forgot 1 item. As we were about to get up to go a lovely woman named Connie from the shoppe appears with our item: she left the store, walked across the street to find us on the campus of PCC and smiling and apologetic for forgetting to give us the item. Who does this ? No one I mean we were stunned and delighted and thanked her ! happy to support a business is so dedicated and hires staff this AMAZING!! read more

Finally a tea house that has bubble tea, popcorn chicken and puff waffles all in one place! I ordered online for pick up and was ready so quickly! I was even late picking it up and to my surprise, the waffle was still so crunchy! I ordered the popcorn chicken, matcha puff waffles and the cheese foam jasmine. All of which were so good! That cheese foam is heaven. And the people working were very friendly. read more

Love this boba place so much! I come here often with my family. It is a very cozy place to hang out with family and friends. It is also very student friendly for those who go to PCC! The tea flavors are very delicious and taste very authentic (I recommend the Hokkaido milk tea). The snacks are also very yummy I definitely recommend the spicy fried tofu! I have come to this place for around three years and the staff has always been very friendly and attentive. read more

I needed real Egg Waffles and found this place and it didn't disappoint! Light, crunchy outside and gently chewy inside egg waffles made to order. I'd normally have to drive down to SGV to get one, but I'm glad there's an alternative. I also ordered the Matcha flavored one, but prefer the original. Sweetness is subtle, as expected. Took 1 star off for pretty average Jasmine MT. I'm definitely coming back for the Waffles, but will try other teas. read more

I was searching for a place that sells boba and popcorn chicken around Pasadena and Bubble Puff & Tea showed up. We called to order for a pick up as they are only allowing to-go only. Our order: Popcorn chicken ($5.5) Matcha bubble puff (egg waffle) ($5) 2x White Peach Oolong tea with boba 75% less sugar and less ice. (~$5) The popcorn chicken portion size was a little over a cup size and comes with this sweet and tangy sauce. Portion wasn't great for the $, but it was good. Crunchy on the outside and juicy, tender in the middle with each bite size. We killed it in less than a minute. The matcha bubble puff was not bad at all. Super crunchy on the outside and chewy and airy on the inside. The white peach oolong tea was reaalllyyy good. It's one of the most recommended teas on their menu and on Yelp and I'm so glad that I went with it. You can taste the freshness of the tea with a hint of white peach. I don't like my teas that sweet so this one was super refreshing. Would recommend coming for the tea if you're around Pasadena or PCC. FYI, they are closed on Sundays! read more

It smelled so good when I walked in , I gotta get the waffles next time I come here, let alone the milk teas we ordered tasted amazing and fresh thanks to the workers making it a great first time experience ^-^ read more

Absolutely amazing waffles. Personal favorites include the peanut butter flavor and Nutella flavor. They're good on the go but if you can sit down and get the ice cream on top it's even better! A must order imo! read more

Love, love, love this place for bubble waffles! They offer a wide variety of flavors and add-ins so you can customize something that's perfectly delicious. This time, I went with the taro. So yummy! Each little bubble had a sweet piece of taro in it making for a crunchy, toothsome bite. I'm already wanting to go back for more - chocolate with banana filling, chocolate with peanut butter filling, original with savory pork sung - yes please!! read more

Bubble Puff & Tea - Taro puff waffle - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

They were extremely busy and had no time to acknowledge any of the clients wanting to order- after 15 min. I decided to walk out - and so did the people in back of me! Too bad - step it up customer service! Jenny- thanks for the reply- .....I completely understand about being understaffed.... But no one even looked at me or my husband -or say hi... we will be with you soon! For 15 minutes! Thats not right! This was our first and last time there! Not a very good first impression and not very good customer service - so please don't use the excuse that you are understaffed.... Even if its one person there. Someone should have acknowledged we were standing at the counted for 15 minutes. Thats not acceptable. read more

Drove one hour here to find the mochi filled egg waffle. The wait for my order was one hour. It was worth it I guess. Cute little hidden gem, literally hidden. You can see it from the main road. One star off because the drink was not spectacular. It's basic like every other bubble tea joint. I will definitely come back for the egg waffles again. read more

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! They have great service the employees are super nice! The boba don't even get me started it tasted DELICIOUS! Oh and the whole cafe was beautiful :) Definitely recommend this place read more

Cute little shop. You get to place your order on this giant iPad version which I thought it was pretty cool. But what made this place more interesting is that it gives you options on how to order your beverage. It actually ask if you want "sugar" in it. When I tried the Taro milk tea with no sugar it's was quite refreshing actually. I prefer that way now that I've tried it with now sugar. Their was only 1 employee at the time and I believe she felt overwhelmed because the way she would respond to get customers. But overall it was. A cute spot for a refreshing drink. read more

Cheese foam tea connoisseur here..... The variety of real tea leaves is amazing - rose, osmanthus, jasmine, etc. The best part is that every cup is fresh brewed! I tried the Peach oolong and the robust freshness was great! (Most boba spots serve a jug of green tea which has been sitting stale the whole day). I am in love with the plastic cups, which come with "hole stoppers," and the sizes are tall. I would absolutely come back! read more

Thank you, Jenny, for refunding me for the order. I will come back to give the shop another try. Updated my rating for the customer service. read more

It was my first time coming here .. the ladies made me feel welcome! They explained me what was there top sellers! I got the passion fruit tea with normal sugar! I do got to admit it was really sweet but not bad! You can adjust it and ask for 50% less sweet but since it was my first time I wanted to see how sweet were there teas! It's great cute place to study they offered free WiFi! Which is awesome! Hope to come soon! It is small so tables get filled up fast. Update: came again that's how good there teas were in my opinion .. this time I got half sweetness! And it was amazing! I also grab something to eat I got a waffle sandwich and it was amazing! read more

This review will be revisited once I've had a chance to go a few more times, but so far so good. I went in on their opening day and they were understandably a little slow, but the Passion Fruit tea was excellent. I went back two weeks later and they already have all the kinks worked out. We order popcorn chicken, a mango tango smoothie and a matcha bubble puff with red beans. Everything came out super fast and tasted delicious. The smoothie was creamy, full of mango and not overly sweet. The popcorn chicken was an excellent savory snack. Their bubble puffs are unique. Warm and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They are customizable and quite tasty. I'm excited to explore the menu a bit more. They keep the place super clean and with quick, friendly service there isn't anything to complain about. read more

I stopped in to try their messy brown sugar boba, but I think the hype here is all about those hk waffles! The drink itself was deliciously sweet. The boba pearls had great texture, but lacked the extra layer of sweetness that I fiend for. read more

This place definitely deserves five stars. The bubble waffle was made very similar to the way it should be in the traditional HK style; crispy and crunchy on outside, slightly sweet, airy and soft on the inside. You really need that texture contrast for it to be legit. The milk tea and boba was pretty on point, definitely better than most places in Old Town Pasadena. If ya going to the nearby Community College, don't miss out on this place!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This is my favorite place in Pasadena. My go to snack is their Hong Kong waffle. If you are craving waffles and refreshing drinks, this is the place. I will say their waffle is the best in town. read more

Had such a nice experience visiting this boba shop a few weeks ago. I have been trying to seek out some new boba places in the area and came across this quaint little shop in Pasadena. I had wonderful customer service and felt very welcome, even when I arrived close to closing time. I got the Hokkaido Milk Tea and it was quite delicious. The boba was made fresh and had a great texture. My favorite thing from this experience was the cute cups the drinks came in. The cup had both a "sip" slot and a straw slot. On top of that, they came with super cute little red heart drink stoppers. If you love boba and are looking for somewhere new, I highly recommend this place! read more
