Chapresso is 1 of the 14 participating boba shops in the 2026-2027 MySGV Boba Passport Official Edition. Its offer is 1 Free Milk Tea + 1 Free Topping. I came here to redeem that offer. Thanks Chapresso! I was here about one year ago. Glad to be back to support them again. Very small inside space with limited seating. Shared outside patio seating is also available. Street parking can be found right in front of the shop. For my free drink, I got the Iron Goddess Milk Tea with Agar Boba. In support of biz, I also got the Barley Milk Tea with Mochi Boba per the recommendation of the young man behind the counter. Thanks! I originally asked for no ice on both drinks, but somehow I got both drinks with ice. I was informed they brew their drinks hot so if I don't want ice, I would have to get my drink hot and not cold. I'm not sure if I understand that completely. Hence, I kept the drinks as they were made. They were both flavorful drinks. Iron Goddess Milk Tea is one of their signature drinks and is quite popular. I can taste why. My first time trying Barley Milk Tea and I enjoyed it very much. The barley tea flavor came through quite fragrantly nice. Both are winners! Menu is somewhat small and limited, but I can see myself coming back to try their other unique tea flavors. This was my 3rd boba shop visit and got my 3rd stamp in MySGV Boba Passport. Yay!
My wife and I came by to redeem our drinks via our SGV Boba Passports. We had been to Chapresso last year for a Yelp experience. The parking is easy as there are spots in the front or behind the business. The spot has outdoor seating and a long counter inside to enjoy your drinks. Kiosk ordering is offered at this location. The staff greeted us and took our orders and we decided to try an extra drink this time. He allowed us to substitute our milk for oat milk which is always a positive. The sweetness and ice can be adjusted to your liking. We ordered: Iron Goddess Milk Tea (SGV boba passport) Gyukuro Tea (SGV boba passport) Ice Matcha Latte (additional purchase) All the drinks came out together and ALL of them I enjoyed. My wife agreed that both the milk tea and regular tea options tasted great. Their Ice Matcha Latte was yummy. The taste was not bitter and the sweetness level was perfect without any adjustments. Chapresso is a trustworthy spot for tea, milk tea and matcha in my opinion. I have had good experiences and drinks here each time we visit. ( ^_^)b
Tried the phoenix oolong milk tea with mochi boba and a mango green tea. I loved the milk tea - really can taste the tea flavor and I love that they have different options for the tea. The mango tea though wasn't for me. I appreciate that they use real mango and you can really taste it. It wasn't as refreshing as I hoped though and quite bitter. This is definitely a fancier spot and one that you'd want to go to if you really appreciate good quality tea. They brew it for every cup fresh! Shop is small and almost no seating but lots of street parking out front
Wasn't impressed at all. Ordered two gyokuro milk teas with honey boba (less ice and 50% sweet) and a mango slush with honey boba but heard the employees talking to one another about how there was only enough honey boba for two more drinks. I inquired about it and they said I'd have to pick a different topping so I went with the agar boba. Apparently they did not give us honey boba. I was staring at it up close since it looked so different so they asked if something was wrong. I thought maybe it was because it was the last of the previous batch that it looked so soft and mishapen. Since July 4th they've been switching to mochi honey boba instead because of popularity/increased demand. They said it was a real hit on July 4th weekend. The mochi boba had a lovely texture and flavor but definitely could have used more haha. They had to boil a whole new batch. Agar boba was fine but I was super disappointed that I didn't get boba because that's what I actually wanted. The shop was quiet with nobody else inside besides my cousin and kid and I. The gyokuro was pretty bitter (as if it was steeped too long. Maybe it was just matcha and bitter? But I thought gyokuro was just tea leaves?) and not sweet at all. I couldn't finish it because of how bitter it was. I kept it in the fridge and drank it next day and it mellowed out significantly. The mango slush was honey boba was pretty good. They recommended it with lychee jelly but my 5 year old was not interested haha. I think I'm spoiled after having torotea because it is such an amazing experience from start to finish and every flavor is absolutely delicious and perfect. Chapresso is overrated and fine when you don't wanna wait for torotea. You probably just need to order the right thing and for them to have boba when you want it. If I ever go back I'd try one of the iron goddess oolong or one of their matcha drinks.
Got the Ceylon black milk tea 50% sweet with lychee jelly. Perfectly sweet and strong smooth tea! I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and it didn't disappoint. Looking forward to trying more drinks in the future. Smaller menu and topping selection but the focus is on tea.
The hojicha latte was rich and nutty It reminded me of one of the best hojicha lattes I've had in Vietnam had a very similar taste. The strawberry puree in the strawberry Matcha was a little overpowering, but the Matcha taste was Pretty solid
Each order is made to brew! Really enjoyed their tea selection and I always get the phoenix MT and/or iron goddess MT. For a regular they charge roughly $6/7, which is standard pricing nowadays. Opt for the phoenix if you enjoy more of a honey note at the end. Parking is on the street but easy to get in and out even with ongoing traffic.
I don't know if I went on a really off day, but I can't remember the last time I had a milk tea so off-putting it went straight in the trash. I was so excited for the gyokuro milk tea because gyokuro is probably my favorite tea, and I can't quite describe what the gyokuro here tasted like. I can say, however, it didn't taste anything like gyokuro. It was weirdly floral, not quite jasmine-like floral, and had a weird and honestly kind of gross flavor I guess is a way to put it. It completely lacked the fresh buttery greens quality of real gyokuro. The jasmine was okay. I gave up on the hojicha without even trying it after everyone else wound up not liking their teas either (they didn't dislike it as much as I did with the gyokuro, it just wasn't great). Reviews seem positive for this place so I dunno what was up with our drinks. While the tea flavor, at least for the jasmine, was strong, it was so strong it tasted almost artificial (compared to similar tea-forward places).
I stopped by Chapresso and got the barley milk tea. It was really good! I got it for free through the SGV Passport, which was a nice bonus since it gave me a chance to try something new. The barley milk tea had a nice flavor and was refreshing. The place itself is very small, but it was still a cute little spot to stop by and grab a drink. Since I got it through the passport, I'm glad I got to check out a new place that I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise. Overall, I enjoyed the drink and had a good experience. I'd come back again to try some of their other drinks.
First time visiting, found them through the SGV boba passport. Clean, small shop; quick, friendly service with a few indoor seats and several patio tables outside. They use high grade tea leaves and you can smell the leaves before choosing and they use specialized equipment to extract flavors from the leaves. I really enjoyed their jasmine milk green tea and the mango fruit tea. You can really taste the tea in both drinks, it did not taste watered down. The boba was equally delicious, I've never had mochi boba. It was sweet, soft and chewy and it went well with the drinks. I will definitely return to try more items on the menu.
5/19/26 Okay, I'm not much of a tea drinker but I like matcha for all its health benefits & its earthiness, this place has my seal of approval:-) Just driving around San Marino looking for a coffee shop near 5 pm--not much luck. This place popped up & doesn't close til 8 pm- cool!! There just 2 seats indoors with a "bar" table and a bench to park your behind while waiting for your drink. There's no restroom. The outdoor patio is spacious but it shares it with 2 other businesses (Dumpling Bar & Mari Vees). Staff is trite, professional, competent but not overly friendly. He made my drink as requested-iced matcha latte with oat milk, less ice, 75% sweet level, one of the best so far, nothing fancy, just good, quality matcha. I'm likely to return if ever in the area, and that's me not big on tea lol \(*0*)/
This is a small locally owned business that is worth trying if you appreciate quality tea. It's a small shop and there are some parking spots out front or you can easily find street parking. I got the Phoenix oolong milk tea with the mochi boba and tried sips of the barley black tea. What I loved most is that each drink is made to order using their teaspresso machine. You can tell the guy working really cared about making each drink the best it can be and he was super nice too. Our drinks were quickly made and tasted incredible. The oolong had lovely floral notes and the mochi boba was delicious with the perfect bouncy chew. I also enjoyed the flavor of the barley tea! I would definitely recommend coming here for a little pick-me-up or post-dinner treat.
wow this might be one of my new favorite boba spots! Came to try Chapresso and the tea quality really shines in all their drinks! I tried their matcha latte with 2% milk (they offer oat milk too) at 70% sweet and a gyokuro milk tea at 70% sweet with lychee jelly and both were very very good! The teas were fragrant and yummy and perfectly not too sweet! They have a few seats inside but it's very limited - they've been around for about 2 years and I hope they get a lot more love soon! Service is very fast and friendly
This place is known for their teas. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their barley milk tea, genmaicha, and mango and strawberry matcha lattes to try. The milk tea had those good classic toasty flaves. The genmaicha was savory and seaweedy but luckily was still sweet enough to still be yummy. Wasn't getting much matcha flaves from the mango matcha but the strawberry one had a good balance of mellow strawberry and matcha flaved. Overall these were lowkey pretty good. Genmaicha $7 Mango matcha $8.5 Strawberry matcha $8.5 Barley milk tea $6 +$0.65 grass jelly read more

A super great boba/tea shop in the San Marino neighborhood! The place is super small, so it wouldn't necessarily be good for coworking, but the drinks are really delicious. I ordered a hojicha latte and my husband ordered a fruit tea. Both drinks were delicious. I'd definitely come back again. read more

I had an adequate experience at Chapresso (San Marino). I ordered the Mango Matcha Latte ($8.50 - 16oz - 75% Sugar). It's earthy, gritty, and tastes like mango cereal milk. It reminds me of liquid mango candy. I arrived at Chapresso (San Marino) on Sunday (around 12:15PM). Parking is a little challenging. There's no lot, so I used street parking. It's a brief couple minute walk. Customers can order at a self-service kiosk or counter. Staff is polite. Staff kindly answered all my questions. My drink took one minute and 52 seconds. Fast! As mentioned, I ordered the Mango Matcha Latte ($8.50 - 16oz - 75% Sugar). It's not bad, and it's thirst quenching. The drink made me think of candy mango and something a little gritty. On ambiance, Chapresso (San Marino) is very tiny and cramped. There's one small counter and a bench. There's also three assigned tables at front. The floors looked like they needed a quick sweep, but the air felt clean. I also enjoyed the slow-paced music. The location is very dimly lit though, so it all felt a little melancholy. Fortunately there's a little bit of utility at Chapresso (San Marino). There's one available electrical outlet. And there's customer internet with password; customers must ask staff for the details. However; this small location doesn't have a restroom. Overall, Chapresso (San Marino) is not bad. I didn't hate my beverage, and staff is friendly. If already nearby, I can lightly recommend. 3.9 out of 5 read more

Cute little tea place on Huntington next to dumpling bar. You can customize the type of tea leaves you want and can add "toppings". Also can adjust level of sweetness. Friendly service. read more
I came to try this spot since a fellow acquaintance said it was yummy. Parking is ample for street parking. There's outdoor seating which is nice. You can order via kiosk or at the counter. Staff were friendly & open to questions. I went with the matcha Einspanner which was a 10/10. I was able to customize my drinks as well for sweetness/ice. I would come back to try other drinks since they have a vast selection. read more
I decided to try their ice matcha latte and matcha Einspanner. I tried getting the coffee version but it ended up being matcha which was fine since it was good either way. The offer 2% milk or oat milk. Definitely going to come back to try their teas. Now that i know where its located at. First time trying this place and parked a little far because it looked like there was alot of cars in the front. As we werw looking for it someone asked if we were going to chapresso. Howd he know. But we came on a lucky day. Turbo tax had a little event going on and they were giving free chapresso vouchers, fidget spinner, tote bags and ice packs. read more

The Matcha is made fresh, and the Matcha latte was pretty good for what it is. The service was fairly fast, just expect one person to be working in the front. So that person is either tending to the orders come or taking the orders. The vibe of the overall shop is chill, but you're really here to grab and go, so you're not really hanging out within the shop. It is located a cute spot in San Marino, you can opt to park in the front, or around sides. read more

Chapresso is a tiny boba tea shop in San Marino. They have breadth selection of fruit teas and milk tea boba. And it is the only tea shop in this upper middle class city. I came to grab a hot Jasmine Pekoe Green tea which is a high-quality tea leaves , often younger leaves with fine hair (pekoe). Its flavor was smooth, mellow, slightly sweet, with fresh fruity undertones. Prices were fair. Staff and service were cordial and on spot, respectively. Indoor and outdoor seats were very limited. Overall, I liked my tea at Chapresso. I highly recommend them. read more
January 10, 2026 Ordered their Strawberry Matcha Latte and it was yummy. Honestly, it was too pretty to mix. Compared to other local spots, I can say this is in my top 5! Love the matcha taste and the oatmilk with strawberry bits...would love to have another rich now while writing this review. read more

The concept of making milk tea drinks using espresso machines are somehow a funny, silly, enticing concept that got me to come visit and check it out. I was coming out of a quick little work day close by and decided a little treat was in order. With 2025 having been one of "those" years, I wanted to enjoy some me time and appreciate some proud moments with a celebratory drink. Ordered the Iron Goddess Oolong with some lychee. A delicious drink AND a compliment? Because yes, every woman is a goddess in her own right. It was the right savory and milky tea type I love. No frills. Solid drink for only $6. Much appreciated. Some milk tea drink prices have been so hard to be behind but this one, I'll for sure come back. Hopefully to pair it with a bite from the Dumpling spot right next door. It's a quaint little date to take yourself on the next time you happen to take a drive out around to San Marino. read more

street parking available depending when you go! the place is a bit smaller but they have outdoor seating. very cute and clean inside. they have a pretty solid menu with different options. the staff was very helpful in explaining the differences. i got the genmaicha einspanner and you can really taste the puffed rice in the drink. i liked it but my bf didn't. the strawberry matcha was good but the strawberry just tastes like jam. the oolong milk tea was really good! very fragrant and floral. i also got a mango green tea but it was a bit cloudy and bitter in my opinion. maybe it got cloudy from the mango they use but would highly recommend the oolongs they have and the matcha! can't wait to come back and try the hojicha read more
What's up: Here for tea! And since it was a hot afternoon, the idea of a sweet cold tea made it even better. Parking: Parking is available right up front on Huntington Drive, but it might be hard to get out of the spots since it's a busy street. It took a bit of waiting for me, so a side street and some walking might be a better option; W Hvn Rd is an option. Environment: Walking in, you'll see the menus located overhead. You can order at the counter or use their self order kiosk. I placed an order at the counter and had a short wait before my drink was ready. The staff member informed me that if the drink wasn't sweet enough, or if too sweet, they can adjust it. Mines came out fine, so no adjustment was needed. What was ordered: - Hojicha Latte with 75% sweetness (bold flavor and the perfect amount of sweetness. The only downside is that the drink felt a bit gritty, like it wasn't whisked well enough) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. I don't see a lot of places with hojicha, so it's nice that Chapresso offers it. I enjoyed the flavor, but it didn't feel like it was mixed well. Overall, it was still decent. Staff members were friendly. Credit cards are accepted. read more

Pretty solid tea spot with free parking at the front and back. Small shop with mostly outdoor seating. The staff worked very quickly and the packaging came with insulated bags if you're ordering more than 4 drinks. Their 50% sugar was actually healthy so I recommend their 75-100% since it's not diabetic like other places. My favorites were their hochija and genmatcha einspanners. Very unique with strong tea flavors. Well mixed and well balanced. Their other drinks were decent but similar to what you can get everywhere else. Iron Goddess was a close second with a strong oolong flavor and Phoenix was very floral. I definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

Ordered an ice matcha latte and a gyokuro milk tea. Instead, we got a strawberry matcha latte and a gyokuro tea. Both items were not what we wanted for our order. Giving extra stars for decent taste. read more
This is my second visit, I tried their matcha latte last time during an Elite event. I think they have one of the best matcha in the 626 area (without going to dtla). The matcha has a umami taste, it is creamy, BUT it was chunky on the bottom this time. Other than that, the quality is great. Their matcha power is above average. The service was decent. I went on a Sunday afternoon, and they are pretty busy. There are still enough parking spaces in front of the store. It's a good choice to stop by if you're in the area. read more
Chapresso is a small independent tea & boba shop located in San Mario (opened in Dec 2023) and everything about this shop reminds of ... Chicha San Chen. One of my pseudo Elite friends swore by this boba shop and even claimed this shop is better than Chicha San Chen. The shop essentially utilizes the teapresso machines (similar to the one you see at Chicha San Chen) so customers can smell a strong tea aroma upon entering the shop. [Paring]: Fairly easy street parking as there are plenty of parking spots right in front of the shop as well as easy nearby local street parking. [Ordering]: Customers can order via kiosk or order directly in person at the cashier counter. [Amenity]: No restroom for customers with a very small indoor space, but plenty of outdoor tables with the right casual first date vibe. [Drinks]: The three featured drinks are Jasmine Pekoe Milk Tea, Iron Goddess Oolong Milk Tea, and Barley Black Milk Tea. Other drink options include Americano, latte, einspanner (extra $1 with matcha), hojicha, and genmaicha. Regular = 16 oz and large = 22 oz for extra $0.75. Extra $0.50 for toppings like honey boba, crystal boba, lychee jelly, mango jelly, and grass jelly. *** Iron Goddess Oolong Milk Tea (toasty, stronger tea flavor with a floral aftertaste - regular 16 oz, 100% sweetness, less Ice - $6 + Honey Boba $0.50): Boba was good but couldn't say it was the best one I have ever had; however milk tea was great and the drink wasn't overly sweet even at 100% sweetness. *** Personally if I can pick Chapresso vs newly opened Torotea next door, I still prefer Torotea. With that being said, I am still a fan of Chapresso and would add it to anyone's weekly boba regiment if they visit boba shops on daily basis. read more
I am glad I finally got the chance to visit this place. I tried their Gyokuro Milk Tea. It has very strong tea flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. Definitely recommend trying it. No public restroom though, in case you plan to stay there for a long time. Mainly outdoor seatings. Quite small inside. Parking can be hard at times, but luckily, so far, was able to find parking when I went. read more
Stopped by Chapresso in the morning and didn't have to wait long at all. I got a mango smoothie drink, and it was refreshing and tasty--perfect for a light start to the day. The staff were super nice and even made some friendly small talk, which added a personal touch to the experience. There's not much indoor seating, but the outdoor setup is really cute--great for hanging out with friends. Just a heads-up: probably not the best study spot since there aren't outlets outside. Still, a charming little place for a chill catch-up! read more

Easily the best matcha latte in San Marino and I absolutely love coming here. I noticed you guys have changed your mango matcha latte since I last tried it and subbed mango milk for the fresh mango chunks .. May I suggest you revert back to the fresh mango? It was so good I love the cafe atmosphere inside.. Sm's best kept secret read more
Tea shop located on Huntington Dr next to Dumpling Bar and Mari Vees. We came here on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy when we got there but shortly after we ordered, there was a line forming. Drinks came out pretty quickly. We ordered an iced matcha latte 75% sweet as recommended by other yelp reviewers but it was a bit too sweet for my personal taste. I usually get 25-50% so that's what I might do next time to adjust the sweetness. The matcha does taste really good. It's comparable to probably one other matcha place I like that's no longer open. It's a fresh, earthy and nutty flavor profile. We also ordered the hojicha iced latte (toasted and nutty/grainy) and iron goddess oolong tea (mild and slightly sweet tasting) read more

Hello, we use fruit puree, not concentrated and no artificial additives.

Will you be adding other toppings like grass jelly? I didn't see that many choices
Hi, we are always testing new drinks and toppings! We do think in the future we might be adding more topping options, but as of right now we only have 4 options: honey boba, agar boba, lychee jelly, and mango jelly. Sorry about that.
Are there plans to have wifi so people can work from your cafe?
Hi Shawn, we have always had free wifi! Just let us know if you want to use it, and we can give you the passcode.
Besides street parking in front of the store, is there additional parking near the store?
Hello, in addition to the street parking along Huntington Drive, we also have a parking lot next to our block (adjacent to Verizon) with about 20 spaces that is usually empty!
Yelp shows it's open but I'm literally outside their store and it's closed. What are the actual hours? It's 4:37pm on sunday FYI
Hello, I am so sorry about that. We have an emergency building maintenance issue so we’ve been forced to close every day until it is fixed. We are trying to get it fixed as soon as possible, but because their scheduling has been unpredictable, we…
