SGV Passport x Chaffee. We came by to redeem our My SGV passport items on a weekend day. This location is located on the 2nd floor if you have trouble finding it. The interior is most definitely eye catching the moment you step in. You have to check in at the front to order and we came to get our 913 King's Oolong Milk Tea. Also to know Oat Milk is offered as a milk alternative. The location has decorative tea sets and figurines. They offer all kinds of teas/ tea leaves for home. We were directed to the back of the location to pick up our drinks. The flavor of the Milk Tea was delicious and had balanced flavored. They have few tables for seating to enjoy and browse around. It a memorable place to visit if you love all kinds of teas. Apparently you can reserved one of the tea rooms as well for parties. Overall, I enjoyed the SGV redemption and wouldn't mind returning one time in the future. ( ^_^)b

Indoor seating

First time visiting, found it through mysgv boba passport. It's located upstairs above greenzone. Friendly service, good quality tea (ten ren & ten fu), spacious and beautiful decor with lots of indoor seating. We tried the 913 kings oolong milk iced tea, you can really taste the roasted tea flavor. We also enjoyed the matcha soft serve, they give generous portions & you can really taste the matcha. They have afternoon tea service, tea tasting & paint and steep (paint a tea canister & choose a tea to drink in an individual size teapot), reservations required for activities. We will definitely return to try more teas and try the paint and steep with friends.

3.5 stars, rounding up to 4. The setting was really nice, the service was also friendly, but the price for what you get is....well, the cost of tea was quite high. The tea itself was really good, but we also don't get too many water refills. The help you the first time, the water stays hot by your side to refill yourself we were able to get two pots each. The food came out on a little rack, so presentation was great. However, the food was just ok; it was basically boxed items you could buy in the store up front, but tasted just average. It was also heavily sweet, so we kind of wished we'd eaten first. However, that osmanthus tea jelly was amazing. Highlight of the whole tea! Overall, it was an experience, but one we wouldn't partake in again. Ooh, but after lunch (we were still hungry), we headed back to try the tea soft serve and that was super tasty!

Chaffee is located on the second floor of the "Tea Pot" plaza in Temple City on the corner of Las Tunas and Rosemead Blvd. The ambiance was quiet and relaxing. Service was really good too. The presentation was nice. What I found lacking was the food. The food quality could have been better. I would have appreciated more savory dishes and less store-bought cookies and pastries. I wanted fresh baked goods.

Background On Visit: Recently bought the mysgv passport and felt quite happy that Chaffee is a participating vendor. Restroom: Restroom is available to use. Credit Cards: They're accepted Location/Parking: Located on the second floor of the teapot plaza on the SE corner of Rosemead Blvd. and Las Tunas. Parking can be found on the ground floor, but it would be recommended to park in the underground parking structure. Ambiance/Decor: Nice ambiance with modern asian furnishings. Plenty of seating through out the shop. Service: Kim, staffer, was friendly, attentive, and informational about the shop. My tea didn't take long to be made. Drink Of Choice: I had the 913 King Oolongs Tea. Loved the floral tea flavor and felt refreshed after drinking it. Chaffee For Thought: Would love to come back to the shop and participating in a tea making class in the near future.

#124 in my Teaholic Diaries. Located on the second floor of the plaza, Chaffee is an elegant tea house that incorporates traditional Chinese tea culture into a modern tea experience. Their tea rooms are exquisite, and are inspired by traditional Chinese tea houses. I felt like I was in a high end jade shop, and interestingly enough, they have a teapot museum in the middle of the large establishment. In addition to selling loose leaf teas and tea ceremony cupware, they also offer afternoon tea service as well as a few select individual teas/milk teas that are brewed-to-order. I opted for the 913 King's oolong tea and the Cassia milk tea from their iced tea collection. Both drinks were smooth and mellow. The 913 king oolong tea is a signature blend of oolong with ginseng. It was vibrant in color and had a lovely sweet floral taste. My favorite of the two was the cassia milk tea, which was a little on the richer side with a malty flavor profile. Overall, I enjoyed the two drinks and would be interested in trying their other iced teas. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

SGV 2026 food passport

Currently if you want to book reservation for tea group it would be $65 per person. Parking: Good luck finding parking on the top floor, cause this plaza gets busy. Most of the time you'll be able to find a parking spot on the underground parking structure. Tie Guan Yin soft serve: texture was nutty like black sesame. It had a slight roasted taste to it with tea underlining. Definitely, would recommend getting their soft serve here. SGV boba passport book: I got to try their 913 King Oolongs Tea with 50% sweetness. They really hit it right on the mark with the sweetness. It was still sweet but not too sweet. Tea mix was inbetween light. Not much seating inside if there are a lot of tea serving reservations booked on the day of. Very spacious, and very beautiful if you're a tea lover like looking at tea pots, tea cups, and different tea bags to buy this is your place to drop by.

Beautiful tea place! I absolutely love the atmosphere and furnishings. I watch alot of Chinese dramas and it made it seem like I had walked in to a period film set. Absolutely love the teas and little snacks especially the spicy bean curd. Workers are all kind and knowledgeable. Thanks!

The food is cute and palatable. The san Gabriel mountain views are amazing. The service is really quick and the host is kind. The afternoon tea the ambiance is nice. This is a really nice experience. There's a lot of food. We got two tea afternoon tea set for four people and the other two people got a personal Tea set and it's more than enough food. I really like the light floral tea, White Peony. I like the jelly too. It's not too sweet. They give samples of the tea. It's like a honey jelly. It tells you the steep times on the menu. There's at least 15 different varieties of teas for the afternoon tea. They have spicy bean curd and spicy peanuts as some savory elements. There are tea cakes and other not too sweet desserts. Taiyaki, nougat. The hojicha and oolong tea soft serve is really delicious and has good flavor. Parking is the same plaza as baekjeong and dive. Underground.

Came last week to hang out with a friend and finally try the tea experience at Chaffee | Ten Fu's & Ten Ren's Tea Boutique. It's located upstairs in Camellia Square Shopping Plaza, right by the iconic floating teapot fountain. Walking inside felt like stepping into a traditional Chinese tea house. The space is beautifully designed with elegant décor, display cases filled with various teapots, and an impressive wall of teas available for purchase. We were led to a quiet semi-private room featuring gorgeous mahogany and cherry elm wood tables and chairs, intricate carvings, abalone inlays, and beautifully crafted wooden partition panels separating the rooms. Our room also had views overlooking a portion of Rosemead Blvd. and a nearby side street. I did have to wait a little before being greeted, but it appeared the staff member was assisting other guests in the back, so it was understandable. The menu offered a wide variety of teas to choose from, and we each selected our own pot. Alongside the tea came a beautifully presented assortment of traditional Chinese tea snacks. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and the staff explained the proper steeping times for the first, second, and third infusions. An electric kettle maintained the perfect water temperature throughout our visit, allowing us to fully enjoy each subsequent brew. The entire experience felt relaxing, elegant, and unhurried--an excellent way to spend an afternoon catching up with a friend. The teas were enjoyable, the setting was stunning, and the service provided a nice introduction to traditional tea appreciation. My only downside was the price. At about $65 per person, I felt the tea snacks didn't quite match the premium cost of the experience. Overall, it was a fun and unique experience to try at least once, especially if you enjoy tea culture, beautiful surroundings, and a slower-paced afternoon with friends.

Chaffee tea house offers such a unique Chinese high tea experience. The set comes with 10-11 small bites with your choice of tea. The treats are quite small but cute. Their presentation is so adorable. One tip: try your tea before diving into the treats because the sweets will overpower your tea. Mine at least. I ordered Bai Hai Oolong. The interior of this tea house is also so beautifully designed. I visited on a Friday afternoon and peaceful and quiet which I love. Our server was wonderful and helped recommended options. At a $65 per person, is definitely a splurge, but for the presentation and overall experience. It's worth giving it a try!

We got the Afternoon Tea Experience which came with confectionary treats with our choice of tea. It was a lovely experience and the ambience was nice! I wish we had a bit more privacy with doors closed; had a few passerby's looking. It isn't a big deal but we'd like to feel more secluded. I've attached some photos of our experience!

Chaffe tea latte.

I love their oolong soft serve but I usually come for the Chaffee tea latte, which is an iced oolong tea with espresso and agave. Delicious! Came in today and it seems like they are finally getting more business. The main appeal is the vast collection of teas and you can even relax in one of the many rooms with a nice aerial view of temple city, haha. Very good, quick and friendly service! 5 stars.

I tried the pumpkin duet and pumpkin soy mochi. The kiosk is easy to use for self ordering…read more The pumpkin duet was refreshing and fits the fall theme perfectly. I like that they put a lot of mochi in the pumpkin soy mochi. Definitely recommend for pumpkin lovers.

I've never heard of 3CAT before, but I was grabbing lunch at the Santa Anita mall with some friends…read moreand they recommended we grab a drink here afterwards. When we came around 1:30 pm on Saturday, there was a short line to order at the kiosk. I wish they had more than one kiosk, as some folks were taking a while to order. The space is quite small inside with very little seating, though there are some tables outdoors as well. Even though this is a boba place, it seems like they're most well known for their smoothies. Their two most popular drinks are the avomango sweet dew and the mochi mango, for example. They do have some milk teas as well, but most people were getting their smoothies from what I saw. I got sunlit mango glow with light sugar ($8.99) off their seasonal menu. It was described as a mango and passion fruit smoothie, but the mango was pretty overpowering and I only got hints of passion fruit. Half sweetness was already plenty sweet for me, I can't imagine how sweet this would've been at full sweetness! I was pretty full from lunch, so I sipped half the drink slowly that day and kept the other half in the fridge for the next day. It was just as good!

I am a fan of BenGong's Tea as they are the definition of boba drinks done right. Each drink is…read moremade with real, freshly, brewed tea or fresh fruits... none of that powder crap. The quality of their teas are also regarded as high-quality as you can taste the genuine tea fragrances in the drink despite the added milk or toppings. They have unique tea flavors and toppings that differentiates them from so many other boba houses in the 626 area. 1. Pistachio Coconut Velvet (5/5) A summer/seasonal drink that is worth raving about. It's super refreshing from the coconut water, yet creamy and luxurious from the velvety pistachio cream. They are generous with the pistachio bits that they coat on top of the pistachio foam. I devoured this drink it less then 2 minutes and almost went back for a 2nd cup. 2. Tea-cube Special (5/5) This is a simple, yet, satisfying cup of traditional milk tea. It's made from a black tea base + milk + tea-cube topping. The tea-cube is made from fresh tea then made into a jelly cubes. Super creative, yet delicious. It pairs well with almost any milk tea based drinks. 3. Mango Pomelo Sago (4/5) If you like mangos and like fruity drinks, then this is a good choice. It comes with sago toppings, which pairs well with the drink. When it's fresh and icy, it's super refreshing. However, if you wait too long and it melts, the drink can get a bit too sweet. 4. Osmanthus Rice Milk Tea (4.5/5) This drink is a Jasmine tea base with osmanthus rice paste, milk and crystal boba. You certainly can taste the osmanthus flavor. My favorite thing to do is get it with their house-special tea-cubes. My go-to boba place whenever I am in the area.
