Fruits are so fresh! I hate this place because one drink is never enough--I always need two . Service is pretty fast and can be ordered on Fantuan or hungry panda. Limited seats and can get pretty hot when sun is beaming inside. Otherwise I love taking it to go! 10/10 toppings, fruit, and freshness. read more

ICI Tea Drinks - Mango Avocado Smoothie-牛油果冰沙Avocado - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I've never really considered myself a "drink person," but I think I've been converted. There are so many boba shops now that it's honestly overwhelming to choose, but I was drawn to ICI's fruit tea menu despite it having fewer reviews than nearby spots. It's right next to Auntea Jenny's, so we grabbed one drink from each to compare. ICI had the much longer line, and while the wait was a bit long, it was absolutely worth it and our fav. I ordered their recommended Quarter Pound Mango, and wow, it might be my favorite boba drink (along with the mango mochi at 3cat). I usually lower the sugar at boba shops, but the regular sweetness was perfectly balanced. Sweet enough to satisfy without masking the tea. The tea jelly paired so well with the creamy drink and mango flavor. My only complaint is that the name is a little misleading. I expected more fresh mango pieces, but there were only a few and mostly mango jelly. Overall, the drink was so good that I can't wait to come back and try one of their fruit teas. read more

This place in San Gabriel has been a favorite for a while now, and no other fruit tea place compares. The teas and fruit are fresh and can be adjusted to taste just right. Favorites are the Mango Orange Iced Tea and for the summer, Yuzu Pineapple! Amazingly refreshing for the summer heat. The Jumbo Fruit Tea is a staple as well. Park underground, and wander the plaza for other great places to eat and drink! read more

Perfect spot to go on a hot day! They have perfect fruit smoothies that's really refreshing. They have some seating inside but not many. They provide free WiFi so a good place to study as well! Down side is that there is no restroom inside. Parking is ample since it is located inside the plaza. The decor is cute inside as well. We got drinks off the seasonal menu (peach lemon tea and the peach melon smoothie). The honey boba was okay, the honey flavor was lacking and the boba was a bit on the harder side. However, the tea jelly was super tasty and refreshing with the perfect chew. read more

Came back for their Quarter Pound Mango drink since I enjoyed their drink last time. The mango tasted fresh like last time and was full of fresh mango pieces and tea jelly. I didn't really taste the tea in the tea jelly but they gave a good portion. It was not a blended drink so it was more like liquid texture, but I still enjoyed it. It is really like the drink's name and just an entire mango drink. Not sure if they put milk or tea as the base though.. It was super busy inside when I went. I ordered through the Hungry Panda app and it took an hour for it to be ready for pickup! On a Thursday evening! I was very surprised at how popular it was on a weekday. read more

I am not sure how you pronounce the name "ICI" but it sure was delicious. We ordered the quarter pound mango drink, and it was top-notch! To all the mango lovers, this drink is your go to drink! They had fresh mango in the drink! Can you believe it! I was going crazy after my first sip of that drink. 10 out of 10 to whoever thought of that drink. The service was quick and efficient because it was not crowded yet when I arrived. But when we left the place, that's when the line began. But if you were to wait when there's a long line, it's still definitely worth the wait. The interior may be small, but those drinks they serve were MIGH-TEA DELICIOUS!!! read more

Omg this is the spot for refreshing fruit teas for a hot summer day. Ordered The Sumo Iced Tea-大橘大利 and it was so good. You can taste the fresh citrus fruits in it and their tea jelly is the perfect topping for it. Only downside is there's always a long wait here and sometimes it's hard to find parking. There's only one self-order kiosk so there's a line for it too. However, despite the wait the drink is definitely worth it. read more

I'm glad I picked ICI tea for fruity drinks in this plaza. I got the sumo tea with tea jelly and muscat kale juice. The sumo tea was marked #3 on the top ten list. I think it's a combination of three citrus fruits juiced and pulp in green tea. It was so refreshing on a hot day. The tea jelly added great texture, but had no flavor whatsoever. The muscat kale juice is the perfect drink if you want something sweet, but healthy. I think it's fresh, because the kale starts to separate from the liquid if not stirred. I ordered from a kiosk and it took about ten minutes to receive my order. There is a monitor with order numbers to track your drink status. It included a lot of orders from Fan Tuan and online. read more

I was honestly surprised by how much I liked the drinks here! They were so refreshing on a hot Saturday. I ordered the kale and grape drink with chia seeds, and wow--it tasted fresh, light, and so healthy. The yuzu pineapple was also amazing. It was bright, fruity, and so easy to keep drinking. Lastly, I tried their regular boba milk tea just to see how I would like the boba, and I loved it. The sweetness and texture were just right. Everything we ordered was refreshing and enjoyable, and I would definitely come back to try more drinks! read more

4.5 stars Personality-wise, I'm definitely team milk teas. HOWEVER, ICI has changed my mind for the better! On a Friday night, I was wandering around Alhambra craving something fresh and juicy. I thought about trying Auntea Jenny's fruit juices, but saw the long line and chose to go to ICI instead. These were the drinks I got: Muscat grape & Kale iced tea ($7.60): Delicious and tasted healthy. I could taste the grape and kale, but surprisingly, the tea was so light that I couldn't taste it. Additionally, I slept well, which makes me wonder if it was decaf? 4.5/5 stars Jumbo Fruit Tea ($9.99): this tea cup was gigantic and filled with fresh fruit and jelly. I got regular sugar and I thought it was good the next day after all the ice had melted. I ate the watermelon the night I got it b/c I was worried it would be too soggy the next day. Unfortunately, watermelon isn't in season yet, so it was like munching on cucumbers :(. Otherwise, the mango and jelly was great...the only other downside might be the passionfruit seeds. I'm not the biggest fan of crunchy drinks. I would still get this on a hot summer day. 4/5 stars Buying 2 drinks came with a reusable tote, which was very cute. The tote is a different design for 4 beverages. The cups are also sturdy enough to reuse again! Customer service was fast and efficient. I think I only waited 5-10 minutes to get my drinks. Underground parking is free and plentiful. I will definitely be back! read more

This place has the best and refreshing fruit tea drinks! My partner and I drop by often when we are anywhere *near* the SGV vicinity. The drinks are made with fresh fruit, and sometimes it takes multiple visits to order the seasonal drinks because they run out! Fruit generally is sweet so if you select 0% sugar, the drink can still taste sweet. I have a sweet tooth, so finding a place where drinks are naturally sweet with zero added sugar is amazing... The parking can be a hassle sometimes because people try to avoid parking in the underground lot. There's always empty spots in the underground lot, so we have never had an issue looking for parking. There's a flight of stairs and elevator to go up to the store. The staff are friendly, and the place is clean and cozy. There is no restroom available for customers, and very few seating and tables. It's best to order-wait-leave or order online and pick-up in store. read more

My friends like this spot so I decided to try it out on a Sunday. There is plenty of parking underground. Ordering is easy on their kiosk and there is a screen that shows the status of your drink. There is a few table seating inside and no restroom. We got the sumo berry tea ($7.95) and cheese strawberry smoothie ($7.85). It comes in one size and you can adjust the sugar and ice levels. They were both very refreshing! The sumo berry tea has pomelo, orange, and grapefruit, leaning towards more citrus taste. The strawberry smoothie had small pieces of strawberry blended with the tea, in a thick texture. read more

ICI Tea Drinks - Sumo berry iced tea and cheese strawberry smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Plenty of parking underground. Came on a weekend after dinner. Place was packed. Seemed like most people get their drinks to go. Unfortunately they ran out of jackfruit when we arrived. Ordered from the kiosk. Liked that the kiosk had recommendations or tips when you ordered. Got the 牛油果冰沙 or Mango Avocado Smoothie for $7.95, 大橋大利 or Sumo Iced Tea for $7.95, and 霸气水果全 杨1L装 or Jumbo Fruit Tea 32oz for $9.95. The drinks were all really good and they seemed like they used real fruits. Felt the 牛油果冰沙 or Mango Avocado Smoothie was heavy on the cream though. Saw a lot of people ordered the 羽衣青提 or Kale & Muscat for $7.95. Would be curious to try that next time. Liked that you get a reusable beige bag from order 3-4 drinks or green bag from ordering 2 drinks. read more

Small, underrated boba shop located in a busy plaza. I think this store deserves some more recognition, as the drinks here are amazing. There is a self-order kiosk inside with pictures of every drink, which is nice to have. The only con is that this shop mostly serves fruity drinks with very minimal options for milk teas, so there is less variety of items on the menu. On top of that, there are minimal tables and seating inside. Highly recommend getting the Quarter Pound Mango drink. Both my husband and I agree that this is the best drink here. The mango was sweet and fresh, while the house-made tea jelly added an enjoyable chewy texture. Other notable drinks worth trying are Watermelon Iced Tea, Mango Avocado Smoothie, and Jumbo Fruit Tea. Certain drinks are seasonal only, so that is something to look out for. From my experience, seasonal drinks are usually really good. read more

I have been reallyyy into the mochi drinks as of late, and stumbled upon this place after looking for a fruit tea spot nearby. The only place ive been to that has the mochi drinks is 3catea, but I think they only have two flavors. this place has many flavors! I believe 3-4. we ordered the strawberry mochi drink, the quarter pounder mango fruit tea, and the seasonal persimmon coconut drink. They were all regular sweetness we ordered from the kiosk, which I liked because there was a better view and description of all the drinks they offered. They allow for customization at the kiosk as well. because we ordered 3 drinks, they packed it into a cooler bag for us! the strawberry mochi drink was really good, it had that chewy mochi inside and I believe they used real strawberry because it did not have that artificial strawberry flavor, and it was not that sweet. the mango drink was also just as good. no mochi but the taste is what I would have expected it to be, The persimmon coconut drink was also not sweet as well and there were large persimmon chunks. Pretty good if you are looking for a persimmon forward drink! I would say that the drinks aren't really that cold when they came out so we actually put them in the fridge when we got home. I would say they are a little bit above lukewarm at best. These drinks are a bit pricey as well. The strawberry mochi and mango drink were about 7.50, which is understandable with the rising prices these days.... but it was 8.50 for the persimmon drink... (it was probably bc persimmon is seasonal but STILLLL) anyways we def wanna come back because there are still a lot of drinks we wanna try here! read more

Delicious! I ordered the coco persimmon less sugar (recommended when I ordered on the kiosk) and the mango coco smoothie which was fantastic. Both were delicious and very refreshing. The recommendation for the persimmon drink was no sugar because it was plenty sweet from the fruit. I am typically so not a fruity drink type and generally prefer boba or milk tea (which they have too) but these real fruit flavors and fruit purées/fruit chunks were really yummy. I can't get over it. What a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend this place. We came here after first going to Molly tea which of course is amazing but the drink offerings are very different. It was super chill and not too crowded but had customers the whole time we were there. Cute Christmas tree was decorated by the window and my daughter enjoyed admiring all the ornaments on it. Easy kiosk ordering system with a tv on the wall displaying order numbers distinguishing between takeout from fantuan and hungry panda as well as dine in orders. I would definitely return here. The drinks are very unique and different from what I usually get at Asian drink places but in a good way and I would like to try their other items. read more

ICI Tea Drinks - Quarter Pound Mango-芒果甘露, Mango Avocado Smoothie-牛油果冰沙 - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I ordered the Quarter Pound Mango Fruit Tea ($7.50 - Regular Sweet - Less Ice). It's mango, jasmine green tea, milk, and tea jelly. It's enjoyable. The drink is clean, fresh, and good quality. I arrived at ICI Tea Drinks (San Gabriel) on Friday (around 11:46AM). Parking is convenient since there's a big underground parking lot. The sign states, "2 Hours Only." Staff interaction is minimal. Customers are encouraged to use the clean self-service kiosk. I disliked how I needed to insert my cell phone number to proceed; however, I appreciated how this kiosk printed paper receipts. Customers input their name, and a flat screen TV displays and announces when your drink is ready. My drink took 11 minutes and 44 seconds. That's slow. I appreciated the Quarter Pound Mango Fruit Tea ($7.50 - Regular Sweet - Less Ice). There's no "wow factor," but it's refreshing and thirst quenching. I enjoyed the gentle flavor of mango; I liked the fresh aftertaste of crisp tea; and I appreciated the clean mango bites & playful jellies. It's somewhat generic, but it's thoughtfully crafted with good quality ingredients. At the very minimum, it's pleasant. Regarding ambiance, ICI Tea Drinks (San Gabriel) has utility. There's five electrical outlets. There's customer internet with password; the information is displayed on a hanging plaque. It's also very clean with well-swept floors and shiny tables. However, ICI Tea Drinks (San Gabriel) is popular. It gets crowded in quick bursts. In one moment, it's cramped. Then, several minutes later, it becomes empty. There's four tables. In addition, there's no restroom; however, there's a hand sanitizer bottle for customers. It's well-ventilated, bordering on chilly. The music is also upbeat and soft. Overall, I had a good experience at ICI Tea Drinks (San Gabriel). Although this visit felt fairly unmemorable, there's an appreciation for its clean, fresh, & good quality ingredients. If nearby, I recommend. 4.6 out of 5 read more

I've been eyeing this tea shop for a while now but not sure why I never stopped by. However, I just so happened to be in the plaza for the spa shop so I came in here. They have a kiosk where you can order from so there's minimal interaction with the staff. The tea shop also had an aesthetic that I like. The paintings and color pattern of the walls were something that I would have chosen in my imaginary cafe shop too. I tried the watermelon coconut milk and it was amazing! I still couldn't stop thinking about it. I got less sugar and it was just the perfect amount of sugar. The watermelon and coconut milk blended together so well and it's super perfect with tea jelly as the topping. Will come back! read more

Our party had mixed reviews. Service was good, shop was clean. The menu was pretty easy to navigate. Cheesy Green Muscat - our friends really liked it. They said it was better than 3cat's Quarter Pound Mango - tasty, well blended. Mango Orange tea - it was good but I felt like the tea flavor wasn't strong enough. Overall it was good, and there wasn't a wait. I would've liked a heavier tea flavor though and with so many options on that plaza alone, it would not be my first choice. read more

ICI Tea Drinks is a unique drinks shop, mostly containing fruit type drinks, very popular especially on hotter days. They also have milk tea options but not as much variety as their signature fruit drinks. Ordering here is pretty simple, either on a self ordering kiosks or with a cashier. Parking here can be tough because of a shared plaza with plentiful of popular shops, street parking is accessible and a underground parking lot as well, all free parking. Lot the variety of options here, it's pretty much endless. As stated, ICI Tea is majority fruit teas and my wife and I decided on two drinks. 1. Quarter Pound Mango ($7.50) Great drink option, if you like mango sago drinks, this is very similar, maybe even better. Mangoes were fresh and this drink is definitely a recommendation on my end. Super refreshing and just can't go wrong with the drink. 2. Cheesy Watermelon Smoothie ($7.60) Usually I don't put cheese atop of my drinks, but I wanted to try it to see how I would feel about it, this drinks is definitely a surprise to me. The drink itself is just a watermelon juice drink with cheese. Mixes pretty well with the watermelon, although you don't really taste the cheese mix until later (or swirl it a good amount.) I would recommend this drink if you're feeling creative, very delicious. Overall, a wonderful drinks shop, it's a nice change of pace from my usual milk tea based drinks and ICI Tea didn't disappoint at all. Might be one of my favorite drinks shops around with their high quality drinks, fresh fruits, and fast service. Highly recommend joining their points program if you visit often. read more

This place has become my new favorite boba shop! Their drinks are always fresh, refreshing, and hit the spot. Most of their drinks are fruit-based and blended well with tea. I really like that they add actual fruit pieces into their teas. Signature Fruit Tea - contained a lot of freshly cut fruit. It wasn't too sweet (I typically order less sweetness) and I enjoyed the medley of fruit flavors. Would recommend this one! Peach Oolong Lemon Tea - this drink is seasonal and was really good. It had the perfect balance of peach and oolong flavor, with deliciously fresh, sweet peach chunks. Sumo Iced Tea - this drink was so refreshing. It had a nice citrus flavor and the jelly inside was yummy and satisfying to chew. Overall, you can't go wrong with any of their drinks! Except maybe their Kale and Bitter melon drink lol (never tried it though). Definitely would recommend! read more

My favorite drink place so far! I really like the kale & muscat as well as the mango avocado smoothie. Some other ones we tried are also good. They're not too sweet and so refreshing. read more

First off, the muscat ici is the move. Super refreshing, not overly sweet, and you can actually taste the green grape instead of just sugar water. The balance is really clean, especially if you're into lighter, more tea-forward drinks instead of heavy milk teas. They also do a lot of muscat-based drinks and cheesy foam combos, which hit if you're into that creamy + fruity mix Now the real pro tip: order through Fantuan. Prices and promos on there can be way better than in-store, especially with random discounts and deals popping up. It's one of those spots where ordering smart actually saves you a noticeable amount read more

They have real persimmon and orange pieces inside the drink and the orange was very sweet. I loved the flavor but the pieces of fruit were impossible to suck up the straw because they were so large. I would definitely recommend getting a fork or spoon to eat the fruit. read more
