Gotcha Cutest soft pink decor with the most adorb stuffies in the claw machine as you walk up to order. You can either order at the counter or on the machine. All drinks are non dairy except for the Thai drink, or so I was told. I got the AMT (almond milk tea)- 15% sweet with the the pudding and the grass jelly that was made so silky soft. The AMT had the right amount everything- not too creamy but the almond profile was very balanced. I'd get this drink again. This is a great spot to hang out with friends and family or to study. There's about seven groups of tables that can be connected or separated depending on group size. Gotcha is not on Target side or by where all the food is at. Wrap around the other end of the plaza along the freeway and you'll see it between TGIF and Petsmart. read more

I was in the plaza for other errands and wanted to try this boba place. This store is a bit hidden at the very end but they offer a wide assortment of classic drinks and yogurt drinks. I have been wanting to get a yogurt drink for a while so I decided to go with the Purple Rice Yogurt drink here. They have a kiosk for self ordering which is convenient. I ordered the drink 25% sugar to keep the yogurt not filled with sugar. And I chose to upgrade to large. They also some claw machines in the corner and a good amount of tables to sit and chat with friends or do some work. It was pretty quiet when I came since it was in the evening on a weekday. There was only one girl working on the drinks so it took around 10 minutes for my drink to be ready- wasn't too bad. The drink is nicely blended with yogurt and purple rice. Since I did 25% sugar it was a good tart yogurt flavor with not overwhelming sugar. They also blended it well so that it was a thicker texture instead of watery like another place I tried. My only complaint was that there wasn't that much purple rice, but it could be because they blended it more with the yogurt? But overall I enjoyed the drink and I think this is worth for the cup size and price; not many places sell for this price. I recommend their yogurt drink and their other drinks look good too. They look like an authentic boba place with prices that are a bit cheaper than other places. read more

I got the signature fruit tea with adjusted ice and sweetness levels. The drink came out fast and in a nice shiny cup. There's plenty of tables and seating inside. There was a box of Pokémon cards on the counter with a "free" label. read more

Came here on a rainy day to get some drinks and kill some time. Loved knowing they are locally sourcing their ingredients (especially growing their own teas). They have quite a few tables, and some claw machines. It got a little too warm while we were there, but it was better than being wet and cold. It was very calm and would be a great place to do some remote work because it wasn't loud at all. I'd come back. read more

I believe that this place had to open within the year. There's a lot of color and light in this place, which matched with the "aura" of the types of drinks that are offered at this place. My mom wanted to try the signature fruit tea, and I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful it was despite the 25% sugar. I am also intrigued by their other drink options, so I'd be open to come back again. read more

I didn't catch the name of the girl that helped us, but she was a whole vibe. She helped us pick our drinks and she did not miss. They were all absolutely delicious. She gets points for being a Mario Kart fan too I wish they could put some sort of inflatable boba character or something outside to attract more customers. But unfortunately, the powers that be (land lords) won't allow that. So it stays our little hidden diamond in the rough right next to what used to be TGI Fridays. But now that we know it's here, we will definitely be back. read more

This location is such a solid and consistent staple in this plaza. All their drinks are perfectly made and have the option for a pretty big drink.

I got the Paris 1883 with 50% sweetness and ice. If you like toppings, this is the drink for you. Pretty much has all the toppings you can think of. It came in a really shiny cup that was pretty fun. They also had a box of Pokémon cards you can check out. We had a fun time looking through them. read more

Came here to do some work on a weekend. It was my first time here. The lady that helped my answered all my menu questions and I ultimately ordered the Kumquat Lemon Green Tea. I ordered the drink with 75% sweetness and 50% ice. The drink was perfect and very refreshing. There is plenty space inside with tables and outlets if you're looking for a pot to plug in your laptop. The wifi speed was solid, and didn't feel slow when I was working. The prices here are reasonable and the drink I ordered was great. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu. read more

Today was probably the worst day to go for me. I ordered my drinks (paid at the kiosk). I received my drinks at 25 minutes later. It's a Friday... There was only one person working. The other person was on break. And even when she came back she did absolutely nothing. While the other person worked. My drinks were below average and because of the lack of staff... That's probably the main reason why I would think twice of returning here. I was only the second person. Three more people came after me. But I'm sure their drinks came out faster...since the last probably decided to start... read more

It's been a few years since I've been back at Gotcha Tea house. The seating arrangements are different and they also have some claw machines inside now. This store is located in a large plaza with plenty of shared parking space. However, it was pretty busy around 4 pm on the weekends. It was a bit warmer the day I visited, so I got a strawberry fruit tea with boba (medium size). It tasted okay and was refreshing. The medium size was smaller than I imagined and would probably have gotten the large size. Overall, this looked like a good spot to catch up with friends and even do some work. read more

Was in the plaza nearby and wanted to give this tea spot a try. Ordered through the kiosk and got my drink shortly after. I got to try the bamboo charcoal milk slushy which was pretty okay.

I got a bamboo charcoal milk tea with boba!

Their service is fine, no complaints there! They have a self ordering kiosk if they get busy. The whole place just look really nice and aesthetic. They have a really cute wall and it is a nice place to get some work done! read more

There's plenty of parking at the plaza here especially once you get closer to Gotcha. They have online ordering you can pick up. The service was quick. My drink was ready ASAP. The inside is really fun with lots of nerdy decor. The staff are friendly and helpful. I got the matcha slush this time. It was just okay. It was mostly crushed ice and little flavor. It was refreshing during the heat. But I can't see myself getting it again. The drinks here have always been hit or miss compared to others which is ashame cause this is a great location. read more

Gotcha Tea House consistently offers the best drinks! It's located in the Target plaza near Petsmart, Ross, and TGIF. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, with cute decorations and plenty of Instagram-worthy spots. The seating is cozy, and the service is fast and friendly! I love that you can adjust the sweetness of your drink. My personal favorite is the purple rice yogurt drink with agar boba--it's a perfect balance of sweet and tart, and absolutely delicious! read more

Probably one of my favorite boba spots to go to. Staff is great and the drinks are really tasty. I've gone here a lot and recently got recommended this drink (see in pic) by one of the staff that I've been one of my go to drinks. If you're looking for a great boba spot, consider Gotcha! read more

We got the yogurt watermelon and it was such a refreshing drink! Highly recommend. Inside has claw machine games as well. read more

Back then, I was always wondering why didn't a boba shop open up in the Rosemead Plaza. I was glad that a store did! I've always come at random times and would always see a few people in there until I realized how crowded it was when there were Kpop Cupsleeve events. (Events that are usually dedicated to K-POP singer or group for their birthdays, concerts in town, etc.) Drinks My personal favorites are Mom's Favorite and Paris 1883. I haven't tried the fruit drinks here but they are my friends' go-to. Despite have huge crowd, the quality and consistent stays the same! They have a wide range of drinks and toppings as well. I hope to come back again soon and try more of their drinks. Service The sweetest workers there! I'm not sure if they are high school or college; but I often run into these girls who are helpful and welcoming. I have asked before if dogs were allowed (since I take my fur baby to PetSmart next door) and the cashier told me yes. I have major anxiety sometimes and even call to make sure I can come in with my dog (some businesses I've been told mixed things, so that's why I check often). The workers there love to say hi to my fur baby. Ambiance It's a cute little boba shop. Average sitting space for boba shop in the area. Not too loud and I often see people on their laptops there. It's a great place and convenient to grab some boba after a meal or shopping at the Rosemead Plaza. Do keep in mind that cupsleeve events completely alter this experience. The organizations that host these events help keep the flow going very well to ensure that casual patrons are able to order on their own instead of standing in the wrong line. I would recommend checking these events out since there are a handful of small business sharing their love of these events and passion with us! Here are pics of my fur baby at two of these cupsleeve events :) Hosted by kcreativestudios & cc.me.events (both on Instagram) read more

Another good find when it comes to tea places. Fast and friendly service. The ambience is great to go sit down and relax for a bit, especially after walking around and shopping at the Rosemead plaza. Nothing negative to say . It's nice that they have a claw machine to play at while waiting g for your tea. I got a jasmine tea with aloe, no sugar. Love that it tastes like actual brewed tea. read more

I love this boba spot you can really taste the difference in the tea that they use compared to other locations. My pet peeve is when the black tea is not a stand out flavor, but here it is. The color and taste is consistently rich and flavorful. I like how cute it is decorated and the little animations on the cup. Service is always quick too I've never waited a long time even when the place is full. Every time i'm in this plaza for Target i'm getting some Gotcha read more

Hidden at the edge of the plaza, this boba place can be very easy to miss. It is right next door to TGIF Fridays. There is plenty of parking. Inside is pretty spacious with seating and even claw machines. You can order on the kiosk or with an employee at the counter. We got the matcha milk tea ($4.75) and jasmine milk tea ($4.25) at half sugar and less ice. We upgraded to large for $0.50. Prices were reasonable and honestly cheaper than a lot of the other places. Both drinks were the perfect balance of creamy with the tea. Service was fast. Definitely will be back when I'm in the area. Give them a shot! read more

Pretty underrated place for a study spot! The workers were super nice, drinks were good/decent and the location is nice because there are so many food options around. Aesthetics are nice inside and there are outlets around with an ample amount of seating. There are also claw machines up in front of the store to win some toys, restrooms in the back and plenty of parking spots. It's kind of a hidden boba shop because it is surrounded by so many big chained stores. They did have a sample of the new drink up front, napkins up for grabs, and a flower board if you want to take photos. read more

It's been a while since I've come back to Gotcha. I love the brown sugar milk tea with boba. The boba have been improved since I've last tried.

I came here on a Sunday afternoon to pick up some drinks for my sister and I. I ordered the strawberry milk slush and the jasmine green milk tea with cheese foam. The jasmine green milk tea was pretty good. The tea was pretty fresh and it wasn't super sweet, which I prefer. I also got cheese foam as a topping, which added a bit of saltiness to the taste. Overall, pretty good. My sister got the strawberry milk slush. She liked it! The strawberry flavor was strong and it wasn't too icy. This place only sell drinks, no food which I was a bit bummed about. The shop itself is really spacious and cute. Lots of tables for dining in. There's a big parking lot right outside the store, since it's located in a plaza. There's also a few claw machines inside, which is cute addition to the store's aesthetic! read more

I came on a Wednesday night and there were only a few people inside enjoying their drinks. I went with the milk tea with grass jelly (25% sweetness) and I honestly was not disappointed. Especially given that it was $5... most boba places charge up to $8 now. For the price, the quality was great! One of my friends ordered a brown sugar milk tea (50% sweetness) & I really liked it! It was creamy and just sweet enough. read more

While shopping in the plaza, I realized that this boba place had SUPER HIGH ratings and saw some customers peruse around the other shops and in the lot with cups from this establishment, so I knew, as a boba enjoyer, that I had to try. Especially after seeing that they farm their own tea and apparently is one of AUSTRALIA's (??) best boba places? Definitely not a chain you see here as often. There's plenty of seating inside and lots of cute photo opportunities and décor. The baristas also have fun decorating and drawing fan art too, I can tell lol. We got the: 1) Bamboo Charcoal Milk Tea: -Got this drink with no sugar added and the milk "sweetened" it up enough where it was still possible to taste the steeped tea. -Slightly more roasted/toasted (?) taste to it, but it's really subtle and I'm not sure if that's from the charcoal or just from the tea itself. 2) Paris 1883: -This comes in large size only. -It's a milk tea with caramel, egg pudding, grass jelly, boba, and crushed Oreo crumbles. -I have NO idea what happened in 1883 in Paris but this drink slaps if you're looking for a more dessert oriented sweet treat than a drink drink if that makes any sense. However, I adjusted the sweetness for the drink and this balanced out really well with the sweetness of all the toppings included. -Not bad and I can see why this is a popular drink on their menu. Will definitely stop by again if I'm in the area and crossing my fingers that this franchise expands and opens more locations in the US! read more

I go here once every quarter just to get the bamboo charcoal slush- you can't get it anywhere else!

Boba place in the back of the plaza next to TGI Fridays. You have the option ordering at the register or at a kiosk. The place has some seating and has some of those arcade games in the front to get stuffed animals. I ordered a strawberry fruit slush with strawberry popping boba for my nephew. Came out to $6. He pretty much enjoyed it. Probably a limited menu compared to other boba shops in SGV. But decent enough if you're in the plaza. read more
