FIRST visit: *…read moreFARE(S) feasted on: *** Jasmine tea (pure, no sugar) *** Matcha jasmine latte * FRIENDLY service: Yes * FRESH air seating outside? 1 table * FEATURES: 12 small tables inside lining wall & store-front window side; 1 bathroom inside * FAIR pricing: Yes * FEE processing: None. Kiosk or cashier ordering * FREE parking: Yes, only 4 car spots right in front (teeny lot), or open street parking on the sides * FYI: A bit chaotic on arrival - there seemed to be no distinct lines upon entering to place order and no large back-wall menu easily discernible while waiting. But basically: 1 line for kiosk ordering, 1 line for cashier ordering. Pickup area shares same long cashier counter and again, bit chaotic... they didn't call out order names either so you had to ask. Loud ambience with music. Visit was on late afternoon, weekend. Drinks were enjoyable. FOUR & 1/2 stars **** '

There are cushioned bench seating areas and while overall it's a small shop, it's a decent place to study. I don't see outlets though. A favorite of mine is their bloom teas with a nice coconut milk, sago, and real fresh fruit. Definitely a refreshing drink that is worth the price.

Very normal tea place. And by 'normal,' I mean aggressively average…read more The drinks exist. They are wet. They have sugar. Nothing made me gasp, nothing made me weep, and definitely nothing made me want to come back for round two. The popping boba? Oh, it popped alright -- right into my teeth with the enthusiasm of a tiny rubber ball that's been left in the sun too long. Hard. Not crispy, not chewy -- just... defiant. Now let's talk about the adventure of getting inside. This place on Valley Blvd has more iron barricades than a medieval fortress. The door facing Valley? Locked. Barred. Rejected. You've got two options: walk all the way around through the parking lot like some kind of peasant making a pilgrimage, or -- and I quote -- simply climb over the fence. Because yes, apparently that's a viable alternative they've just accepted as normal. Service is fine. Not warm, not cold. Just... fine. The kind of fine where they hand you your drink, you say thanks, they nod, and you both understand this is the last time you'll see each other. And outlets? None. Zero. Nada. If your phone's at 5%, may God have mercy on your soul because this tea shop certainly won't. Would I go back? Only if I'm already in the parking lot. And the fence is already open. And someone else is paying. And I've forgotten what popping boba is supposed to taste like. Otherwise? Hard pass. Hard boba. Hard entrance. Hardly worth it.

Parking: street parking…read moreService: nothing outstanding but pretty fast Ambiance: Large amount of seating, modern interior vibe, music can be a little bit loud Drinks: the corn matcha was FIRE! It tasted non artificial and I got 50% and it was still decently sweet. Creamy and not too overpowering as well. I just wish they had some food or mini bites, but overall a great study space or yap place with friends :)

So unfortunate that this boba shop is closing down very soon. I have been visiting ever since it…read morefirst opened and really like some of the drinks here. The coconut ice cream milk tea is a unique and delicious drink. Another standout drink is the matcha frostie with creme brulee. I have never had a bad drink from this place. The menu here is very huge, maybe even too huge. There are so many drinks you could possibly order, ranging from milk teas to fruit teas to slushies to coffees and a lot more. I think it would be better if they focused on a smaller menu with some really good specialty drinks. Nevertheless, I will miss this boba shop.

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.

I love the Oolong tea from here and the variations that they offer have all been very good. I especially like the Pomelo Oolong Tea ($6.49), which is a nice change from the grapefruit that they offer. I also like the Lemon Green Tea with Green Tea Jelly ($5.99) and Kumquat Lemon ($6.59) from here. Service here is great - people are friendly and helpful. I just love everything about this place and wish they opened one in Orange County closer to me. :)

Power tip: a small but nice shop at a very busy plaza, next to a couple of my favorite businesses…read more Menu has a nice variety, but not too overwhelming. After a couple visits there, I realize that I like the black tea latte with 50% sugar. It's very nice that changing the ice and alternative milk options do not cost extra, like many of the other special tea places. Having a reward program is a nice bonus. Looks like I found a new place to be loyal to :D

Stopped by R&B Tea in Rosemead and tried one of their seasonal drinks: matcha with coconut water. I…read morewasn't sure what to expect, but the combination was surprisingly refreshing. The earthy matcha paired really well with the light sweetness of the coconut water, making it a great drink for a warm day. For toppings, I added the mango jelly stars and basil seeds. The mango jelly was fun because they are actually shaped like little stars, which made the drink extra cute. The jelly added a nice fruity flavor, while the basil seeds gave it a unique texture. If you're looking for something different from the usual milk tea, I definitely recommend giving this seasonal drink a try. Refreshing, not overly sweet, and perfect for matcha lovers.

They have a modest selection of boba tea and snacks such as popcorn chicken. I made a quick stop by to grab their Strawberry Jasmine Green tea x Sakura boba. It was light and refreshing. Their popcorn chicken was decent bit crispier than most popcorn chicken in the entire valley. I won't it order again. Staff was nice, attentive and professional. Plenty off seats but most are occupied by young people playing mind craft cards or something. Overall, it's a decent tea shop.
