When we first came in we were given a sample of one of their teas. Once you order your drink, you go to the back and wait as that is where the drinks come out. there are chairs. The milk tea here taste so healthy. But i guess its a good thing. You can taste the 3 ingredients they add to the drink. The only bad thing was 1 of the teas ran out and it wouldve taken 30 minutes to brew up more. You can also buy from their tea selection and i suppose the many types of pots and cups then have for the tea. They have pretty cute ones. It looks like they also do afternoon tea which is a cute event with friends since you might get a private room. read more

3.5 stars I got the tiguanyin soft-serve and it was not bad, but not four stars. It is a chill place cuz they have a lot of partitions for ppl to have traditional tea. read more

My friend saw this afternoon tea option and it was located in the Temple City and named Chaffee so we decided to check it out. It is located in the same plaza that has many tasty food options and also a beauty store on the bottom. This place is located on the second floor and it has a super cute interior. The place is quiet and also very Asian oriented. We sat down on these traditional Chinese chairs that are made with wood and look handcrafted. We were sitting in a nice spot and then our tea service started. Each person gets to decide which tea they would like to have and there is a list. I picked a black tea that was full of boldness. Then came the dessert and cakes. It was super cute and overall each one was a different taste and flavor! I like the setup of it and it was very nicely displayed. Overall we both had a fun time here and it was good to be able to catch up with your friends here! Perfect spot to do so. read more

The afternoon tea service at Chaffee isn't bad, but for its price, it's very disappointing. This service is priced at $65 per person, and with tax and tip, will run you closer to $80. Although the snacks are plentiful and presented nicely, their quality seemed like the treats were taken from packaging and simply placed on the tray. I did like some items like the custard taiyaki, but some items such as the spicy peanuts and spicy bean curd were not very good at all. The bean curd in particular was hard and not palatable. The tea selection was good. Each member of your party gets to choose their own tea. I chose the pearl jasmine oolong for myself, but my favorite was the Bai Hao Oolong (Oriental Beauty). The seating area is pretty, and you'll get some nice pictures, but I believe this tea service is overpriced as none of the tea accompaniments felt freshly made. read more

Really nice space to be able to hang and pretend to be OG having tea. It's surprisingly large and has lots of tea adjacent things. Price isn't crazy compared to other tea places nowadays. read more

Although I occasionally come to this Temple City plaza, I never took notice of the businesses on the second floor. It was a rainy afternoon when I met up for some tea here. I ordered a hot 913 King's Oolong, an aromatic and invigorating flavor. We sat in the properly lit tea-drinking area, surrounded by ornate decoration and wooden furniture. As others have found, the service here is attentive and understated. I also wanted to try their Tie Guan Ying soft serve, but alas! they were out, so I went with their 913 King's Oolong flavor. Double the oolong! 1826 if you will. I came back on a separate visit to see if their Tie Guan Ying soft serve was available, and luckily it was. The to-go cup seemed fairly small portion-wise, but the flavor was incredibly rich. Would come back for some more during warmer weather. read more

Chaffee - Soft serve to go - Tea Rooms Near Me - Temple City, California

Located on the second floor of the teapot plaza, chaffee is a tea leaf store/afternoon tea/ snack/ tea shop. The interior was well decorated, service was extremely kind and helpful but I don't see myself returning. I ordered the Cassia tea latte and was disappointed with the lack of tea flavor. The tea wasn't strong and was overpowered by taste of milk foam and half and half. The barista was extremely nice and offered to add more tea for me, but it really didn't change the overall balance of milk/tea. read more

Food - 5/5 - Ten Ren's always has the best teas so I am not surprised that when they added Chaffee as an extension to the tea room, the treats here will be just as high quality. The Tie Guan Oolong Soft Serve is phenomenal. I love the rich and creamy and really felt like a frozen oolong milk tea without being icy. I highly recommend this or getting a milk tea. Price - $$ - This is definitely a "treat yourself" price range. it's unfortunately normalized for the price to be this high but it is pretty worth it for the treat. Service - 5/5 - The server and barista are super sweet and helpful! Ambiance - 5/5 - BEAUTIFUL interior with wonderful tea rooms to sit in. I highly recommend this for groups as you can sit and enjoy got atmosphere while vibing. Location - 3/5 -the teapot plaza is almost always crowded. there's parking but like...no parking at times too. ____________________ **Note: Location rating does not affect yelp review, this is just for informative purposes of other patrons only. read more

I forgot which tea I got, it was one of the oolong milk teas and I enjoyed it. The star of the show tho is the oolong tea soft serve!!! Had I not eaten dessert already, I would have opted for that. Strong tea flavor and creamy without iciness! I also enjoyed the oolong milk tea. Service was fine when attentive, but it's also a little hard to get their service cuz there was one lady working the front and she'd help out guests and talk to them about the tea. I didn't wanna interrupt her spiel so I had to wait a bit. Gorgeous spot, wish it was closer to home tho. read more

5/5: for amazing tea and fancy vibes It took me a second to getting to writing this review, partly because I wanted to do it justice but also partly because I was admittedly gatekeeping my favorite tea spot from becoming over crowded. But considering I've been frequenting this spot over the past 2-3 months, it is about time I've written a review! Chaffee is located on the second floor of the "Floating Kettle" plaza on Las Tunas and Rosemead. When you walk in, you're greeted with many loose leaf teas, tea adjacent ceramics that range from tea sets and other items, and some Taiwanese and Chinese afternoon tea snacks available for purchase. The menu is simple as they focus on bringing you quality tea brewed with real tea leaves and organic milk and non dairy milk alternatives. I usually opt for just pure tea made less sweet because I enjoy the real tea flavors. If you don't like what's on the menu, you can also select any tea from the store to be brewed. Their chrysanthemum is quite good, but as of Jan 2026 they are out of stock! Aside from their teas, they also have a full afternoon tea set which I believe has a minimum of 2 people to order. There's also special tea rooms for folks who reserve the afternoon tea, so it's a great place to bring guests you want to impress, and reminds me of the afternoon tea service spots in Taiwan. They also have some of the best tea soft serves around, with my favorite being their oolong flavor, but they have matcha as well. The store itself is ornately decorated, with high ceilings, lots of lights, and heavy emphasis on Taiwanese and Chinese culture. There's also a small room full of fancy displays of clay, ceramic, and glass tea sets that are also available for purchase. All their staff and their owner are very friendly and have only made me feel welcome the many times I've frequented the store. Parking is plentiful but can be a struggle at peak hours. Still I've always found a spot in the underground lot downstairs. There's also wheelchair accessible elevators to bring you to the second floor. read more

Chaffee is located inside of the TeaRen store. The store is so beautiful and decorated all over with display cases of tea pots and tea cups that you can view and purchase. They also sell tea leaves that range from black tea, oolong tea, Jasmine tea, osmanthus tea, pureah tea, and white tea. Staff were friendly and they even offer tea tasting samples. I especially appreciate that they leave you alone to look around instead of following you everywhere. While here, I had to try their ... 1. King's Oolong Tea Ice cream (5/5) Finding good ice cream made with tea is rare to find. The ice cream had a very pleasant, yet strong roasted-nutty tea flavor. It was not too sweet at all, which is another star. If you like fragrant tea, you'll like this. 2. Tie Guan Ying oolong tea ice cream Another non-sweet tea ice cream. I found this one to be stronger in tea flavor than the King's one. Both are good though. It pairs well with any tea or latte drinks you get here. 3. Chaffee tea latte A bold fusion of their house special King's oolong tea with a shot of espresso, which was strong. It is topped with a lightly sweetened whipped creamy milk There's some seating inside for you to enjoy your drinks and desserts. read more

This is a great new addition to Temple City's teapot plaza! This place is bigger than I expected. There is such a great assortment of teas and ice cream from this place. I ordered two drinks, jasmine green tea and oolong milk tea, as well as the 913 King's Oolong tea ice cream. I loved every drink and ice cream selection. Every flavored tea had enough flavor without feeling so sweet. In addition, the ice cream hit perfectly. The service was also pretty fast. I would highly recommend this place to folks who want great quality tea and want a clean place to hang out at. read more

Chaffee is an interesting new-ish tea spot in the SGV with lovely iced tea lattes and tons of unique gift items, snacks, and tea pots. They offer a fun new spin on a traditional afternoon tea with an Asian-fusion influence. They keep the vibes elegant and exclusive with sleek decor and several intimate VIP rooms. On my visit I grabbed two of their iced tea lattes to go for me and hubby. I got the 913 Kings Oolong iced tea latte which was complex with a roasty flavor profile. I got it "less sweet" and it was still pretty sweet but smooth. I got the hubby an Oriental Beauty Oolong iced tea latte which was much sweeter with strong honey notes and more floral - it was very nice. The iced tea lattes are plain teas with a cream top which was a thinner cream than most other places but very nice and subtle. They also have regular style milk teas as well as a "Chaffee tea latte" that comes with espresso. The interior almost feels like browsing a museum with all the beautiful tea pots and gifts. They even had an adorable persimmon tea set that I loved haha! This would be a great place for some unique Christmas gifts. Prices for their drinks are reasonable for the area. Their afternoon tea is $65pp so a little steep - and their gifts are a tad pricey as well but seem like one of a kind gifts of good quality. According to the staff helping me (maybe the owner?) it's still the Ten Ren company but with a rebrand to make the name "easier". I visited about 10 mins after they opened for the day and she initially seemed a little put-out that I came in around opening time - but she warmed up a little after I offered to come back later. They seem to still be working out their new opening a bit. They're located on the second floor with stairs on either side - I didn't see any elevators nearby so handicap access may be an issue but it's a large shopping complex so I'd be surprised if there wasn't an elevator somewhere. Parking is a bit of a challenge as this is clearly a popular shopping center and the spaces are also very narrow. The signs above the door still say Ten Fu and Ten Ren with an acrylic banner saying Chaffee so the location may be a little confusing at first if you don't know that they're all the same company lol. All in all I really enjoyed my teas and would like to return to try their unique afternoon tea service! read more

Tie guan oolong soft serve is SO GOOD!! Not exaggerating. Almost life changing haha. It's extremely creamy! I love the roasty flavor and it was perfect amt of sweet (meaning not that sweet). Came in on a Tuesday and they didnt offer the 913 kings tea soft serve, and they said on the weekend they will. Customer service was great, attentive and knowledgeable about the different teas. We even bought a box of cold brew 913 kings tea after trying a sample. Great ambiance. Very clean and calming. Will def come back for their latte specials and more soft serve! read more

I decided to try Chaffee with my bf. I had this placed bookmarked for quite some time already. What drew me to this place is the matcha soft serve. I usually drive to Diamond Bar to get some. The reviews for the matcha ice cream were mixed but I went for it. I'm happy to say that I approve of it. I can taste the matcha. It isn't too strong. I soft serve is not sweet and you just continue scooping more of it. My bf ordered the oriental beauty milk tea with less sugar. I noticed that the brewing method is a bit different and I think it makes all the difference because the tea taste really good. I'll be coming back with my mom and sister. One thing is that the sign outside is Ten REN's and can be a bit misleading. They also have afternoon tea, which looks like a lot of fun. The ambiance is nice. You surely don't want to leave, but rather sit down and enjoy it. read more

Cute spot for loose leaf tea, freshly brewed tea, and tea flavored soft serve. The space is quite nice and has private seating areas so I imagine they could easily host a larger group of people. Service is very friendly. As soon as I walked in, two women offered me tea samples and were happy to chat about the differences between the various kinds of tea they have. I tried the tieguanyin oolong soft serve ice cream and thought it was great -- not too sweet and full of tea flavor. read more

I had the most amazing Gong fu afternoon tea experience for my birthday here! Gong fu (as referenced on the In Pursuit of Tea website) is "a method of brewing tea with skill, using small vessels and short steeps to infuse a large proportion of leaves." It was my first time having tea served in this method, as I always had British style afternoon tea and never Asian style afternoon tea. Stepping into the establishment, my partner and I were welcomed warmly and serviced immediately once our reservation for the afternoon tea experience was confirmed. We noticed how wonderful the interior was - the amount of beautiful dishware, imported tea, and tea accessories was breathtaking! We were led to a semi-private, large room with 2 tables (the room can be private once the room divider is up). The interior of this room was beautiful as well. Our server /tea curator was very kind and knowledgeable, explaining how the Gong fu tea method worked, explaining the difference between the tea leaves on the menu and what would be best recommended based on our preferences, and pouring our tea frequently throughout our 2 hour stay there. We got the Bai Hao Oolong tea and the 919 Tea King tea. The delicacies served with the tea had a pretty presentation and tasted delicious with our tea pairings! We absolutely loved the hojicha ice cream sample served at the end as well. After our experience, we bought 2 tea boxes to enjoy at home using the Gong fun method, and enjoyed it as well! We will definitely be coming again!! Thank you Chaffee for my amazing birthday Gong fu tea experience! read more

If you are looking for authentic tea, this is the place for you. This place is super interesting as they have many rooms to enjoy tea in, and they have vast variety of ginseng, loose leaf tea, and tea cups etc. They also sell ice cream and tea (like a boba shop) and my roommate really enjoyed it a lot. I went for ice cream, but unfortunately for me, they apparently don't sell ice cream after 7pm. The store was slightly hard to find, but it's located on the second floor next to the dentist! read more

Highly recommend this high quality tea shop, milk tea, tea flavored soft serve, and tea experience in the 626 area! When we walked in on a rainy day we were greeted with samples of their hot 913 King's Oolong tea which warmed our belly and had high quality tea flavor. My favorite thing to get here was their super unique tea soft serves! We got to try their matcha one (very high quality matcha flavor that was deep, rich, and earthy) and their tie guan yin oolong soft serve that stole the spot! We opted for the tie guan yin since we can't get this flavor anywhere. Tie Guan Yin Oolong Soft Serve (5/5): Smooth, creamy, and tea infused that had a nice nutty taste and floral tea flavor of tie guan yin oolong. Blew our minds on how good this was! It had a roasted taste and we could tell it was such a high quality infused tea soft serve. I also loved the decor of the place! They had tea sets everywhere to look at and you can buy as well! They also offer private tea rooms for tea ceremonies with friends or family. They were sooo pretty and I would love to come back here to experience their tea set menus. I'm definitely a fan of this with the ambiance, service, shopping, and prices being so good! read more

This review is for their Afternoon Tea Service! The moment you walk into Chaffee, it is a storefront with selection of teas, and as you walk in, it is the tea station and ice cream station and multiple table seating areas for their tea services. Really comfortable and relaxing area. All the employees were really friendly and didn't rush us one bit. They aren't too busy yet, but I feel like once words gets out, they will be receiving more love because they deserve it! Their afternoon tea service is a bit different, but in a good way. It's not filled with deli sandwiches but small bites of different pastries with various flavors. Our afternoon tea came with choice of hot or iced tea, NOUGAT FLAKY PASTRY, MILK TEA CRACKERS, OOLONG& PINEAPPLE BEAR CAKES, THICK TOAST WITH CUSTARD PASTE, MACARONS, PEANUT PASTE CAKE, SPICY PEANUTS, BEAN CURD, SESAME PASTE CAKE, MUNG BEAN CAKE, HELLO KITTY PINEAPPLE CAKE and dessert: grass jelly with half & half. My favorite items were the spicy bean curds, oolong bear cake, sesame paste cake and grass jelly. It does get quite filling and I took some back home. I got the Jasmine iced green tea and surprisingly regular sweetness is pretty sweet, so I would ask for 50% if you decide to go that route. The hot tea comes with unlimited hot water and they give enough for 2 rounds, which equals to about 5-6 cups of tea for maximum flavor profile. The owner let us sample their oolong soft serve after and it was sooo good!!! I would definitely come back for everything and was so tempted to buy their tea sets because of its cuteness. I wish them a blooming business because they deserve it. read more

Came by for soft serve and they offered matcha and Tie Guan Yin flavors that day. I was hoping to try the 913 King's Oolong soft serve as that's a very unique flavor that I haven't seen anywhere else. The menu says that the flavors vary weekly so I'll have to return to catch the 913. The soft serves were offered in cup or sugar cone. I got both flavors and much preferred Tie Guan Yin over the matcha. Nothing wrong with the matcha, it's just lighter than I prefer. The shop is located on the second floor in the Sunmerry Bakery building. Orders are placed with the cashier at the entrance area and the dining area is in a section in the back. The decor and ambiance is clean and nice with beautiful tea sets in cabinets for sale. read more

The owners of this place were very kind and offered me some sample teas to try (which were very good). I didn't even know this place has tea ceremonies so that was such a great surprise when I walked further inside. The interior is absolutely beautiful and these pictures don't do it justice! I came here when they were soft launching, and I tried their tieguanyin soft serve! Although presentation wise I was a little disappointed, it truly was really really good (the best tieguanyin i've had in my lifetime). My sister is a tieguanyin fiend/expert and she agrees as well. Highly recommend any of their tea products! Everyone is very friendly and I recommend coming to this place at least once to see what they have!! And it's also a great meeting place if you have the $$ to reserve a room. I will come back when I get a job! read more

To start, interior is very beautiful and everything is very well designed. Even the cushions, the matching table and seat set, etc. We ordered the jasmine milk tea, the 913 King's Oolong Tea, and the Ti Kuan Yin Oolong ice cream. The jasmine milk tea is not too sweet at all, and is perfect in overall flavor! Moderate strength tea notes, and not at all like a jasmine milk tea at a boba shop. The consistency of this tea milk tea is more on the watery side, which is good because it is more tea! The oolong tea is flavorful and has a strong tea flavor. The ice cream was also delicious and has a strong tea flavor as well! Overall it was very good, and we look forward to coming again to try the future new items on the menu such as the chaffee coffee! read more

Discounts on tuesday and wednesday! The tea ice creams here are super delicious and very tea-forward. Highly recommend !

[ DRINK ] Ten Lu Oolong Tea - It's like a fancy floral oolong, I got half sweet which is still a bit on the sweeter side but it was still good. Standard price at around 6 dollars which is pretty cheap for how fancy this place is. [ SERVICE ] The workers are dressed in traditional Chinese clothing which definitely helps sell the ambiance. The lady that approached me is very nice and even let me try some oolong ice cream. Great service! [ PLACE ] This place is super fancy with classic Chinese decor. It's like a time warp back to ancient China when they had emperors and dynasties. [ VERDICT ] I think Chaffee is taking over this old Ten Ren spot because the original Yelp page says it's closed. Or is Chaffee teaming up with Ten Ren? They need a better social media manager. Regardless, I would definitely come back to tea and chill in their fancy tea rooms. 5/5! read more

Ordered a jasmine green milk tea. What I received was a cup of iced water pretending it once met milk and tea somewhere in its past life. No flavor, no richness, no sweetness, just cold disappointment. I genuinely couldn't tell if this was a drink or a practical joke. Maybe management should actually taste what their staff is serving before charging customers for it. I managed one courtesy sip; the remaining 99% was promptly introduced to the nearest trash can before I even left the parking lot. Giving 2 stars for the decor tho ;) read more

But I did really enjoy the tia guan yin oolong soft serves, reminds me of hojicha. The service was good and inside is very cute and they have private rooms to reserve so you can do tea tastings.

We were lucky to get a whole room to ourselves and it was indeed an awesome way to spend the hot afternoon. As for the dessert, it really hit the spot but it was very very VERY strong.
