It was my first time ordering from here, and I got an osmanthus lychee milk tea with a little ice and sweetness (originally $8.99 but $3.98 on Hungry Panda with a service fee). The tea was refreshing and decent, but the lychee flavor wasn't great per my palate. It tasted a little medicinally bitter, but I think I'd enjoy a different type of tea without lychee flavor. The pickup was easy, and parking wasn't too difficult on a Tuesday afternoon. On the cup, the design featured a deer, and there was a commemorative sticker in recognition of an international award the company won in 2025. The cup lid allowed for a big straw. read more

Too good to go app deal - 2 drinks for 6.99. Never again. Tried to also buy the 3.99 deal, worker was confused and said they don't have that deal. Theres a huge asss poster outside and 2 large ones inside. What u mean what deal anyway the drinks I got tasted slimy ? Couldn't understand the concept. Asked what drink and there was a language barrier. She translated on her phone and still couldn't explain the drink? Would I come again - definitely not. Plenty of better options in the plaza and across the street. read more

Tea here was very authentic. Not sweet at all and you can taste the different notes of the tea. I got the Dancong Duck Milk Tea which was very light and floral with a nutty taste and the Hojicha Salty Cheese which was a bit more sweet and more dessert like. Overall would recommend this place for those who like authentic tea flavors. Parking in this lot is terrible so plan ahead if you are in a rush. Dancong Duck MT: 8.5/10 Hojicha Salty Cheese: 7/10 read more

Very chill boba place that has a lot of specialty drinks you won't see everywhere. They also have a bunch of different topping so you can customize as much as you want. My partner and I got the Snow Swallow drink and the Pistachio purple rice in a 1 liter size. Very yummy drinks and would definitely come again to try the other ones. Ps. Unfortunately there are no restrooms here and the parking lot is awful. Try to come early to find parking. Be careful with some of these drivers. Saw a guy park his car behind two parked cars and blocked them in. read more

Citeadrinks - Purple Rice & Pistachio Coco 开心果糯米椰 Snow Swallow Coconut Milk Sago 雪燕椰汁西米露 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

There's no food at this location. Citeadrinks is in a small plaza in Rowland Heights! Service was good and the ambiance is average! The store has an open window store concept where the store has an open window. They have 3 kiosks to order and I liked my drink! I ordered a creamy pistachio drink with purple rice! In addition, I got a 1 L cup! SUPER HUGE! It was creamy and the pistachios added a nice cream. I got less sugar and the rice was sweet enough. TIP: There's no restrooms in this store. Parking is ample but crowded in this parking lot. Be wary of the other cars! read more

When people ask: "What's your favorite dessert in Hong Kong?" Mango Pomelo Sago. Always my answer -- and a favorite among Hong Kongers This solid Mango Pomelo Sago with yogurt balls is next level. So thick, you eat it with a spoon No water added -- just whole milk yogurt and real mango. The whole family enjoyed it. IG: socalhkfoodies read more

Went to try their new coco drinks last weekend. There is plenty of parking available. The shop itself is simple. We got the blue rice and mango coco drink and the purple rice and matcha coco drink. First, the drinks look beautiful. They taste even better. I like that they are not overly sweet. Drinking through the various layers is a great way to taste each flavor profile. Then giving it a good stir to mix it all up is a great way to combine all the flavors. Great drinks and friendly service make this a place for you to come and visit. read more

Asian spot, aesthetically and in their offerings. Yogurt, rice, as well as milk tea. Some to-go fridge for quick in-and-out. 3.5% Credit card fee if you use their kiosk to order. The cup was sticky/worker spilled rice mix on the outside. I enjoy their lid. read more

Durian heaven! Love that they have exotic fruit flavors and overall a large variety on their menu. Easy to find a drink for anyone's taste (though I believe they specialize in fruit drinks). On the pricier side but honestly not outrageous compared to some other places. Pro-tip: they're also orderable on "To Good To Go"! read more

This is such an underrated spot, especially if you come here during their happy hour (it is a steal). The place was never crowded neither. I ordered their avocado & kale rice lava 牛油果羽衣甘蓝冰浆 with less sugar and no topping 10/10. It is really unique, I don't think I have had something like this from elsewhere even 3Cat. I would definitely comeback and try their other drink too. read more

~ * Skip the trend * ~ I really wanted to join the hype...BUT the service and drinks aren't worth the anxiety of aggressive drivers fighting for parking :( The duck sh*t milk tea tasted like milk. Their peach oolong tea was pretty decent with small chucks of peach. There's some seating inside but the service wasn't welcoming. read more

Overall, good drinks. They have plenty of options and some drinks I've never heard of (duck shit). The matcha is good and creamy with just enough peach flavor. The lychee flavor was good and there were good bits of lychee mixed in. The service was pretty quick and the ambience is fun with the cute bears and an old school fun. read more

Really enjoyed my drink at Citedrinks ,The milk tea was smooth and well balanced, not too sweet, and the pearls were fresh and chewy. The layered drink looked great and tasted even better.

We ordered matcha latte on Fuan Tuan app around 9:30 PM on a Thursday night. App said 14 min pick up and so we waited. Upon entering; only 1 girl working so we decided to give her more time . We returned in 20 min and they were about to close ; the girl was behind the curtain on the phone, speaker on with her boss while he berated her continously and kept yelling her while there were 3 other patrons waiting for their drinks . Everyone can hear them talking and the girl was so upset that she couldn't even produce any drinks. After waiting for 40 minutes ; the drink was horrible. We called the owner and complained . All he did was hung up on us. NEVER AGAIN read more

Drinks got "revamped" supposedly, but everything got worse. Came here when they first open and the drinks were pretty good. Just ordered the same drinks I got as the first time...and I'm never coming back here. Price went up, drink quality went down. I was trying to stir my drink and all I felt was ice, I poured out my tea in another cup just to see exactly how much ice was in the cup, the cup had a little over 3/4s full. Crazy. Go next door to Little Tea or Tenju, you are better off there! read more

I came here, so I could order a Boba tea with a tea pot on top. It looks so cute on the Instagram post. It turns out a teapot is $10 and when I got it they don't even have dry ices coming out of the pot. They tell me I need to get it on my own . $18 for a drink with the stupid T pot doesn't even have smoke coming out. What a rip off. We'll never come back here to buy Boba because there's so many of them around. read more

Tried to get their advertised $3.99 drinks, but the workers seemed as confused about it as I was and were generally unhelpful and unwelcoming. I was one of 2-3 customers there. I assumed it might've been part of a promotion for the delivery app they're promoting, but couldn't locate the deal there either. I went to a different matcha place down the street instead. I only came here for the $3.99 deal, which was both difficult to understand and difficult to utilize. If you're going to open shop in a place like Rowland Heights where there's a boba/drink shop at every corner, you need to do better. That plaza alone has 2-3 other drink options. read more

I got the Double Durian Smoothie 榴莲白月光 expecting it to have a strong durian taste. I did the liter option because it was recommended and paid an extra $4 with the total being around $15. I was looking forward to the drink and the first sip tasted like ice no durian flavor. The only time it tastes like it is the little amount of real durian added at the bottom. So I'm basically paying $15 for 3oz of durian. I do not recommend this drink at all. read more

Drink was below average. Especially considering how expensive it was, I would not come back. I got the matcha with purple rice and added barley. I paid extra for barley and when I got to the end of the drink realized they never added it. I had picked up the drink and immediately left for an appointment, so I couldn't say anything. The purple rice made it hard to tell if the barley was in it, so I didn't realize til the end. read more

Their durian smoothie here is very good. It is $8.50 for a small cup but worth it imo because they give you chunks of durian inside. Recommend if you are a durian lover like me. I cannot say anything about their other items because I have yet to try them. They have a kiosk where you can order what you want, and I got my smoothie in like 5 minutes. They also have a section for premade drinks in the fridge where you can grab what anything from the fridge and pay at the machine. It is a good option if you want tea for affordable price ($3) without the wait. I will be trying that next time when I am in the area read more

Citeadrinks - Christmas limited edition. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

So I haven't ordered my drinks from the counter or the machine, so I can't comment on their quality. However, I really like their fridges that are just grab-and-go style with the options to pay through Zelle or Venmo. The poster notes that the fridges are perfect for "i-people" aka introverts and they have a wide selection of OG Chinese dessert drinks that are pretty authentic. I'm a fan, as they're simple and hit the spot when I'm craving something sweet but don't necessarily want to sit down at a restaurant/cafe...or to interact with people. The parking at first glance can seem a bit hairy, since there are so many stores in the plaza. However, there is usually parking available behind the market if the main parking area looks full. read more

Tried CITEADRINKS in Rowland Heights and was really impressed by how creative and well-balanced their drinks are. Everything felt thoughtfully made, especially if you love tea-forward flavors with fun textures. Standouts for me were the Hojicha Einspanner which was deep, smooth hojicha flavor with a perfectly creamy top and the Mango Coco Blue Rice, which had a strong mango taste and a super smooth consistency. I also loved how refreshing the Lychee Oolong was; light, floral, and balanced nicely with basil seeds and lychee jelly. Even the more experimental drinks (like the avocado and blue rice combos) were surprisingly smooth and well executed. You can tell they care a lot about quality tea and texture. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm in the area and want something a little different but still comforting. read more
