    I am around the area to play pickleball and decided to take Formosa Aroma's BOGO offer. This location is bigger than the Alhambra location. The store decor and vibe is similar, but this one looks more comfortable because it offers more seating area inside and out. Service is friendly, they suggest 50% sugar which is about right. The BOGO milk tea of week is honey milk tea with boba. They have really strong and good tea. Boba is good too. If you like sweeter side use 70%.

    This is a popular Taiwanese tea spot in SGV. They have variety of unique tea selections. You can also customize your coffee and teas. I ordered the following: 1-Hot Assam Black Tea - Extra Hot with no sugar 2-White Peach Iced Tea - 50% ice and sugar 3-Golden Phoenix Oolong tea with Creme Brulé - Nondairy creamer, 50% ice, and 100% sweet with Creme Brulé All the drinks were fragrant and refreshing. Ambiance is really nice and modern. They have tables inside and outside. I liked the unique table lamps. You can adjust the brightness. There is a small parking section in the back. Friendly staff and great service.

    小孩都還記得我跟他們說過這一家茶店不錯喝,只不過我不曉得他們有兩家,我去的另外一家裝潢比較漂亮,這一家在我喜歡的深海的日本料理旁邊,所以吃完日料,帶小孩一起過來, 茶一樣不錯

    Stop by to pickup some drinks for my family. The inside was so cool, quiet, clean and comfy. There's so many choices to choose from, but I spotted the BOGO offer, so gave it a try. It was the Oolong blk milk tea with boba. The teas wasn't too strong to my liking, perfect sweetness because I asked for less sweetness. The boba was flavorful and chewy. I give it a 4 out of 5. Will not mind coming back to try the rest. I saw a cute tote bag, but the cashier couldn't find the supplies. Will get it next time. There's also seats outside while you wait for your drinks. Come try it if you pass by this place

    My husband and I visited this Formosa Aroma location for the first time this past Sunday, 2/22 around 2:00 PM. This is a new location that's opened up in Temple City. We got lucky because there wasn't too long of a line when we first came, but the line just kept growing. It was out the door by the time we got our orders and left! We ended up getting 4 orders of Iron Buddha Oolong Boba Milk Tea - $7.50 (BOGO offer during 2/16-2/22) - The drink was pretty good, we got them with light ice and 75% sugar. The sugar was definitely on the light side so I wish we had actually ordered one full sugar to compare. The boba was warm, chewy, and had the qq texture. I wish the iron buddha Oolong flavor was stronger as the drink was a little on the light side. I would prefer a deeper roasty flavor. Customer Service: The staff member who helped us was friendly. From start to finish, it took us around 20 minutes to get our order and drinks ready. If you're in a time crunch, just be aware. Parking: I saw another reviewer mentioned that the store has their own underground parking. We ended up just parking real quickly on the street. All in all, I would consider coming back and trying out some other drinks. The drinks are a little on the pricey side, but having the BOGO deals from time to time are a good way to try some new drinks.

    Parking entrance is north of the shop and there are plenty of spots inside the garage. This is a new building so not a lot of business there yet. I tried their BOGO this week, March 17 week Golden Phoenix oolong black tea, no ice, 50 sugar. Boba balls are chewy and not sweet. Tea is pleasantly fragrant and not bitter or overwhelming. Perfect combo with 50% sweetness. Staff is friendly (he takes extra time to explain what creamer and milk difference is in consistency of tea). Service is prompt. There is free chilled water. Plenty of seats inside. Nice and quiet place to relax or do works. Extensive Menu -see pictures

    Formosa Aroma is located across the street from the plaza with CVS pharmacy and Burger King. Parking available on the curb and in the parking structure. My husband I came by this past Thursday evening, around 6:40 pm. There was a small part of 2 people ahead of us. When it was our time to order, we ended up getting the following (taking advantage of their buy one, get one special): Rose Buddha Milk Tea- I ordered this drink to be made with 30% sweetener and no ice. This drink came with boba. I liked the sweetness level and I also liked this drink. The rose flavor wasn't overly powering the overall drink and really felt it complemented the milk tea. I would order this again. Valentine's Jelly Roselle Hibiscus Tea- I also ordered this drink at 30% sweetness and no ice. I thought the drink was a little tart but it was perfect for me though (I really don't my drinks too sweet now that I am much older). I liked the jelly pieces and thought it was a nice touch that they were red and heart shaped. ----------------------------- (Total after tax and buy one get one free discount= $8.24) My husband ordered his own separate order of the same to take advantage of the deal (have one drink now and then one to take with him to work). He didn't like the rose buddha milk tea as much I did but he did like the hibiscus tea though. Service could have been friendlier. The guy who took our order didn't seem to want to be there. But I was surprised that his mood seemed to have change when he offered us a bag for our tea drinks when it was ready to pick up. Had no idea this tea house existed and just discovered that they seem to have buy one get one free tea specials often. I will definitely be back in the near future.

    Ooh Temple City has a Formosa Aroma, too? There is no street parking, but there is covered parking in the back. What a perfects pot to escape the sun, too; the interior has the usual, calm aesthetic - relaxing and refreshing. Speaking of refreshing, their Chrysanthemum Pu'Er Boba Milk Tea really hits the spot on a hot day. At 30% sugar and less ice, it was a burst of nostalgia, reminding me of grass jelly with condensed milk - simply delicious. Deal? Oh yes, they do have deals... check their Instagram; they sometimes have BOGOs for the week. While prices are high, the BOGO costs really introduce affordable, tasty options. Service was fast and friendly. Wi-Fi for studying? They got that, too! Come early, though, since seating is limited.

    My first time at Formosa Aroma in Rosemead was during a raining weekend, and it was so memorable because the fragrant smell of the shop was so comforting! I've read that the boba here is tasty so I decided to get it as a topping even though I typically do not get boba. The server was really nice and patient with me, since there are so many different drinks and teas to choose from. I eventually got the oriental beauty milk tea with warm boba and it was good. I enjoyed the white peach tea more though since I don't usually get milk teas. I find that their tea is really fragrant and aromatic, which is hard to find with all the different boba shops out there. I also think the Rosemead location makes better teas than the Alhambra location, but that could just be me. There is a parking structure on Rosemead blvd behind Formosa, which is usually pretty empty. If you drive too fast you might miss it.

    Last weekend, my wife and I decided to stop here for tea since we've been used to going to the Alhambra location. This Temple City location had a different BOGO offer so we decided to come here to try it out. The quality of the tea is exactly the same as the Alhambra location. The tea is very fragrant and strong. The boba is decent and complemented tea very well. The only odd thing about this location is that you cannot park in front of the store since it's a bike lane and you absolutely have to park in the parking garage adjacent to it.

    I came around opening on Sunday and was easily able to find parking in the free garage in the back! The place wasn't packed and there was plenty of tables left with outlets! The vibe here is great with open space and lots of seating. Great for a catch up or studying. W couple of outlets if you're able to get here early! The seats are cushioned too if you plan on staying here for long as well :) Ordered 4/5: Paid $8 for their BOGO which is p good for their dancing crane I was able to adjust sweetness ice and topping (removed boba). I tried the boba in one of my drink and it was soft and chewy. I ordered less sweet and it was still fairly sweet, so if you like sweeter drinks, this might be for you! The drink is overall is more w black creamy tea and not super tea forward. love the vibe and convenience of this place and would be coming back just to work/study!

    Got the BOGO deal for the Buckwheat Gyokuro Boba $7.50 and it's tasty! Reminded me of roasted rice. Boba is yuuummy. Easily found street parking out front, near closing on a Sunday night. Apparently there's parking in the back. Interior is nice! I liked how the cashier went around us to give us a heads up to use the restroom if needed as it was near closing lol. Would def come back to try other things.

    My husband and I really love this boba shop (specifically the Temple City location) for its high quality and delicious drinks. Two of my favorite drinks, which are also signature drinks here are: Sakura Snow Whip Matcha Typhoon: Not only a very visually appealing drink, but it's also a very tasty one. It has the perfect strength of matcha flavor with a floral, fragrant element. Super velvety texture and has a nice mouthfeel. Hojicha Pudding Iron Buddha Milk Tea: For anyone that doesn't know what Iron Buddha is, it is a variation of tieguanyin. This milk tea is smooth and creamy. Because of the silky hojicha pudding, there is a wonderful toasty and nutty flavor. The sweetness level and ice level are adjustable for most drinks. Unlike other boba spots, I appreciate that this place actually does give less ice instead of a ton of ice when I ask for light ice. Oftentimes, there are promotions going on like BOGO and new seasonal drinks available, so keep an eye out for those.

    i love this place. i love acai in general, but other places don't hit the same as vita cane…read more firstly, they allow as much toppings as they offer and your bowl can hold. what!! don't go easy on the toppings. they really make the bowl. the acai part is always amazing as well. i usually only get the acai and the mango flavors, but the other options did not disappoint those few times i got them. i forgot if they also allow an unlimited amount of base flavors. probably. i love the wide variety of toppings and bases they have. it makes me feel like i have freedom, like this is why i live in america in the first place. i always get loads of fruit because i like acting healthy and also their fruits are pretty good! their granola is awesome too. i usually get the strawberry vanilla, but i'm sure the others are good as well. they also have a few dressing choices, which are honeys and maybe syrups ?? overall, this is an amazing place for a dessert that tastes absolutely awesome while still being healthy! i forgot about the sugarcane (which is kinda what this place is all about)!! never disappoints. i like the really big one with coconut in it. tastes amazing.

    Stopped by half an hour before closing. The staff was efficient and friendly…read more What we wanted was straightforward - half a gallon of sugarcane juice. It came in a large resealable bag. Taste-wise it was above average but not the best we have had (that honor goes to Cococane in OC, which also costs less) but still quite good. Didn't have any problems with parking at the lot, but then again we were there on a weeknight.

    I love coming here for their sugar cane juice. IMO it is one of the best sugar cane drinks I've…read moreever had. This is a small clean place for take out only. The server was friendly and took my order. Kiosk ordering is another option. I like their simple menu with specials on occasions. I always get my sugar cane drink with kumquat flavor. It is such a refreshing drink. I love that their drinks are natural with no added sugar or preservatives! Highly recommend!

    Tiny store but serves big flavors! Amazing!!! Need to go back!!…read more One of the best sugar cane drinks I've ever had! (Better than Vita Cane in my opinion) All natural juices, no added sugars, no preservatives, made fresh daily! Half Cane Half Coco (half sugar cane and half coconut, large, iced, $9 plus tax) The sugar cane flavor was super prominent, and it tasted so good! It also comes with a few pieces of coconut. Glad that they didn't add too much ice. Would have loved to get it without ice, but $15 for a large without ice is quite pricey. They also have a special deal for the day, not sure how often they change the deals, but you could get a medium drink of their special for $5.50 which is not bad! The special for today was the pineapple sugarcane. The menu is not super big, which I like, while still having a good number of options. They have a kiosk for you to order or you can order with the staff. The staff member was nice to give me some recs when I asked what's popular. They also have dehydrated chili mango for sale on the side for $6.50 per container. The inside was nice and clean. I don't recall if there are seats. It's mostly an order-and-go type of place. It wasn't busy when I went around 1pm, and the drink only took 3 minutes to be ready! Lots of parking spaces in the parking lot shared with other businesses. Fresh Cane has its own reserved parking right in front of their store, so that was very convenient! Never knew a store like this existed so close to me!! I was in desperate need of hydration, so I decided to check this place out and I'm so glad I did! Highly recommend!!
