Mizuri is tucked away inside Plaza West Covina--yes, the mall…read more My first time having a lavender cold foam matcha--pretty solid. All their drinks come not too sweet which I definitely appreciate. The double strawberry matcha comes topped with a decadent layer of strawberry cream on top for that intense strawberry flavor. But I might've loved the waffle sticks more. It's basically cake on a stick with all your favorite toppings. And they even have the viral Dubai chewy cookie here too! I got the matcha one to try, and this was so crunchy from the kataifi, chewy and stretchy, and so matcha-y. AND their cups are just adorable, I can bearly ;) wait to be back! Thanks for reading! ^-^

I ordered the Flavored Matcha - Ube ($7.50 - Large - 24oz). It's an unmemorable drink that…read morecombines good ingredients. It tastes watery, a little bland, and refreshing. The splash of ube fails to add any considerable taste. I arrived at Mizuri (West Covina) on Wednesday (around 11:02AM - near opening time). It's located inside the West Covina Mall (aka: Plaza West Covina). Parking is simple since the mall's lot is huge. I quickly found a spot inside the parking structure. Mizuri (West Covina) is located on the ground floor, underneath the Food Court. This business is wedged between JC Penny & the escalators. Staff is polite and quiet. There's no self-service kiosk, so customers must order at counter. Staff quickly answered my questions and provided a respectful demeanor. My drink took two minutes and 24 seconds. Fast! As mentioned, the Flavored Matcha - Ube ($7.50 - Large - 24oz) tasted boring. The brief ube flavor is appreciated; the quality of its matcha is enjoyed; and the portion is thirst-quenching. Unfortunately, its flavors felt watered down. The sweetness or addictive twist felt lacking. As it is, it currently embodies the stereotype of "mall drink." Concerning ambiance, Mizuri (West Covina) is a stall. There's no music, and it's very clean. Fortunately, this business is extremely fortunate with its location since there's nine nearby tables. There's even four electrical outlets near the brown table! I even saw usb ports for charging. The mall also provides free internet for guests. There's no restroom, but a brisk journey up the escalator will lead customers to the nearby Food Court's restroom. There's surprising utility by Mizuri (West Covina)! Overall, Mizuri (West Covina) is not bad. However, as of now, it's extremely unmemorable. Hopefully the drinks improve with time. 3 out of 5

So glad there is a late-night boba shop open in West Covina! Coming here definitely gives me a…read morelittle happiness boost, while I sip on good tea, enjoy a fresh-made Hong Kong egg waffle, and am surrounded by bright yellow walls. I ordered a White Peach Oolong Tea for me and their Jasmine Green Tea for my fiancé, both 25% sugar. They make delicious boba tea here, while still preserving the earthyness of the tea leaves, and the tea flavor didn't get lost in the sweetness of the sugar. My oolong tea had a deep earthy depth of flavor, and the jasmine tea had a light floral aroma. Totally perfect to us! I love how they prepare snacks as well. It is perfect when I get the late-night munchies. Their egg waffle is made fresh and has a soft, chewy, addictive texture to it. Crunchy on the outside because of the waffle press, and chewy on the inside. Its just a little sweet and rich in egg flavor. Again, perfect! They are located on Glendora Avenue, a small downtown area of West Covina. There is easy parking in front of the shop which is really convenient. Thank you Bobaland team members for being one of the only late night boba shops open in the Duarte, Monrovia, and Covina, area. You will see me there very often so I wanted to say thank you for considering the late-night boba-goers out here!

I've been coming here since high school over a decade now, after a friend first introduced me, and…read moreit's still one of my go-to spots. The boba is always fresh and warm, and the quality and flavor have stayed consistent over the years, which I really appreciate. I also love that you can customize the sweetness level to your preference, and they offer blended options too, which I personally prefer--it makes such a difference. It's been nice to see them grow without compromising what makes them good. The service is solid, though there can be a bit of a wait during busy times. Seating is limited since the space is on the smaller side, so I'd recommend grabbing your drink to-go.

However most recently they hired a new staff and our usual order has been a problem now. We would order a half caramel half vanilla shake but when we went in today we asked one of the new workers Gisselle if she could make it and immediately was rude and stated "yeah we're not allow to make that" when we said it's something we've never had a problem ordering before she became more aggressive and rude stating the other people can make it but she's not. Sad to say after over a decade of supporting this business we will not be returning due to this experience.

Both were really good, especially the creamy and fruity mango matcha. One downside is they're often out of certain items, and sometimes the soft serve machine is down. It can be disappointing, but it also gives me a chance to try something new each time. There's no indoor seating, but outdoor seating is available. The staff is always welcoming, and the atmosphere is nice. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

The interior is beautiful, with plenty of seating and even more on the patio^^ My friend said their jasmine green tea was nice with a solid tea flavor! I rlly loved my black milk tea! For a frappe it was kinda melted consistency, but still tasted good! My other friend said the kumquat lemon tea was pretty good! I tried all three and they were very refreshing :) Drinks took a while to make but that's because there was a considerable line ahead of us. We didn't mind the wait Staff were friendly! The employee at the counter was very sweet, he smiled at us when he saw us laughing and having fun, despite us being extremely loud oops. He even asked us which two drinks we wanted in the cupholder&bag, which was so considerate

Dancong Oolong Milk Tea ($6.49)-- 70% as recommended was perfect for me! The tea strength is super…read morestrong (just how I like it) so the sugar pairs well with it. It's nice and not too milky, good tea to milk ratio, tea is fragrant. Some places for example if the tea is weak then it just tastes like sweet milk. Or it's like BARELYYY a bit of tea where you smell it but don't taste it. But here the oolong is pretty strong and the roast is nice so I thought it was good! They're open pretty late and there's some seating inside, some directly outside, and then even more out in a patio. Also at night people were just chatting and chillin around their cars so that's an option too since less cars driving around. There was a bunch of people when I went so I was expecting a pretty long wait. But maybe it was just 10 min or so? Soooo quick I was so surprised. Molly Tea for example is packed because of people waiting to order/waiting for their drink, but here people were just chillin and hanging out for the sake of hanging out. The drinks are quick!
