There's a nice spacious free parking lot in the back to park and street parking, There's seating inside and outside. When I came in, most people were studying and doing work. I got the iced jasmine floral latte with soy milk! So happy they still carry soy milk since not a lot of coffee shops carry it anymore. I tried their egg salad toast for the first time and it was so delish! It's a different type of egg salad with feta cheese but it works! I would def get it again. The portion is good too and comes with a fresh arugula salad with sun-dried tomatoes. Service is friendly and welcoming like at the other locations. This location is situated in a small town area of Temple City. It's really cute and lowkey. I'm happy I got to visit this location cause I'm never out here.

Out for a sweet treat cuz it's hotttt. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. Vibes and…read morepeople are super nice and they just opened another spot in downtown La. I got their matcha ube cloud, Thai tea, strawberry matcha and ube mochi waffle paws, and lychee ice cream to try. The matcha ube cloud was bitter, roasty, not sweet, kinda grainy and honestly wasn't getting much ube flaves even after mixing. The Thai tea tho had addicted bitter sweet milky tea flaves. The mochi paws had a crisp exterior, chewy vanillay mochi interiors. The strawberry one reminded me of strawberry pocky, the matcha one was like a sweet matchay paste, and the ube one was nicely vanillay and nutty. My grandma got their taro ice cream and really enjoyed it. I got The lychee one was super smooth, creamy, and fruity but also like really sweet. Overall this place for me eh. Thai tea $5.45 Ube matcha cloud $6.45 Waffle paws $7.75 for 3 Gelato $5 per scoop

There are kids friendly drinks as well so the whole family can get something (Yakult drinks, slushes etc.). The boba is ok, the drinks are definitely better than the boba but still ok that I would get it if I wanted a drink from here. Make the boba better and it would be a perfect combination! There are tables so people can come and do work or study as well. The place is clean and drinks can be customized for sweetness and ice level. Weekly BOGO's for a drink each week so allows us to try a different drink and see if we like it.

It was a nicet regular matcha drink. One thing I really liked was the shop itself. The atmosphere was cute, and I especially loved the moon decoration in the back. It gave the place a cozy vibe and made it a fun spot to enjoy my drink. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back to try more of their drinks. If you like matcha, I definitely recommend trying the strawberry matcha!

My friends also love their chocolate ones . Each one has a thin crust and generous filling--just be careful not to let the filling burst out when you eat them! Besides cream puffs, I never expected their other pastries to be this delicious Rose Lychee Croissant Their laminating technique is truly impressive--crispy and flaky with a sweet-tangy sauce, perfect for summer. Dubai Chocolate Although it's topped with chocolate sauce, it's not as sweet as expected--perfectly suited to Chinese tastes. The pistachio paste is deliciously fragrant! Kimchi Bacon Roll Number one in my heart! I'm a firm believer in sweet-and-savory combos! It's packed with bacon and eggs , mixed with kimchi, yet has a delightful sweetness--just one bite and my eyes lit up!! Flat & Crispy Like a little snack, crunchy and delicious--I love munching on it while watching TV. Almond Croissant In addition to the crispy almond slices on top, it's filled with a refreshing lemon sauce that's delicious and light. I've had their sesame latte before, and this time I tried their pistachio iced Americano, recommended by a friend! The first sip of the pistachio cream was incredibly rich and delicious. When I asked, I found out they make their own pistachio sauce in-house--it pairs perfectly with the iced Americano!

I tried several cream puff flavors, and I definitely recommend chilling them before eating. The shell stays crisp, and the filling tastes even better cold. My favorites were the Maple Pecan and Black Sesame Hojicha. The maple flavor was noticeable without being overly sweet, and the slightly bitter dark chocolate coating balanced it really well. The black sesame and hojicha combination was also excellent, with a strong nutty flavor followed by a subtle roasted tea finish. The Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Croissant was easily the highlight of my visit. The croissant was flaky and crisp, and the inside was packed with crunchy pistachio kataifi, chocolate, and a generous amount of pistachio cream. The pistachio flavor tasted natural and nutty rather than overly sweet or artificial, and you could actually taste small pieces of ground pistachio. I also really enjoyed the Kimchi Bacon Garlic Roll. It had a great mix of savory, slightly sweet, creamy, smoky, and tangy flavors. The Raspberry Rose Lychee Croffin was lighter and more refreshing, especially after being chilled. The raspberry, rose, and lychee flavors worked surprisingly well together without tasting too floral. Even the Almond Croissant had a nice surprise inside with lemon custard, which helped balance the richness. Their flattened croissant was also incredibly crispy and reminded me of an extra-buttery palmier. I paired everything with the pistachio coffee, which was another standout. The pistachio cream topping was thick, rich, and actually tasted like pistachio instead of just flavored syrup. There are so many creative items here, but the flavors still feel thoughtful and well balanced. I would absolutely come back for the pistachio croissant, cream puffs, and coffee.

Ahma is singlehandedly the best coffee experience I've ever had in my life…read more Josh and team take care of you from the moment you walk into their home, where you not only feel like a valued customer, but a part of their family. Perhaps because, yes, it is their literal home (which, of course, has an incredibly relaxing vibe that provides the familiar feeling of visiting a relative or cousin's home, or perhaps dare I say, even "Ahma's" (Grandma's) home). Now to the actual bread and butter: the thoughtfulness of the pairings was next level. But that was somehow topped by the painstaking precision and craftsmanship of Josh and his coffees. He brews them all with not only the utmost accuracy of temperature and ratios, but provides unique and never-before-tasted flavors, with the greatest of passion poured into every drop. I mean, I swear you can taste the actual love he put in there. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this unique experience in the greater Los Angeles area. Ahma is THE BEST!

Wow I'm blown away at how much fun I had at Ahma!!…read more Me and 3 friends (4 total) came for an amazing 5 course experience and it was so educational and new. We were hosted by Josh and Mei, who are both lovely people by the way, and we got to try a beautifully crafted 5 course tasting menu. The coffee pairing with small bites was very very cute and hearing Josh's inspiration behind each ingredient, dish, idea was so special. You can really tell the attention to detail - they provide lactaid when milk is present, there's optional ice cubes for certain drinks, the bathroom is fully stocked with hand towels, lotion, etc. and the space is very beautifully decorated to be warm and inviting. 100% recommend to whoever is planning a date, girls hangout, or if you and your friends just enjoy coffee. The whole experience is about 2 hours, you walk away learning so much, very full of delicious homemade food, and just super happy. There is only 1 gender neutral restroom as ahma is hosted inside a home. Shoes off at the door, they will give you clean indoor slippers. Parking on the street is free and easy.

It was really creamy and nutty. Pleasantly surprised and now a new favorite! I will say, for the size, $7 is a little steep, but it can be an occassional treat. I will say, I appreciated how to cup has a snap on drinking hole cover instead of the flimsy ones that don't fully close.

From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the wonderfully fragrant aroma of freshly brewed tea. The shop features a clean, minimalist interior with a handful of tables, making it a great place to study, get some work done, or simply relax with a drink. What keeps me coming back, though, is the consistently friendly service and the outstanding quality of the drinks. **Wintermelon Green Tea with Boba: 5/5** This was an exceptionally well-balanced drink that showcased the best of both flavors. The wintermelon contributed a subtle smoky, caramelized sweetness with delicate sweet gourd notes, while the green tea balanced it beautifully with a floral, earthy finish that kept the drink light and refreshing. Soft and pleasantly chewy, the boba provided the perfect textural contrast to the fragrant tea. I also really appreciated how accommodating the staff was. They happily customized my drink by blending green tea with the wintermelon and even had me sample it beforehand to make sure the flavor was exactly what I was looking for. That level of care and commitment to quality is something you don't see everywhere. After countless visits over the years, Nest Tea continues to be one of the best boba shops in the area. From its thoughtfully crafted drinks to its attentive service, every visit has been consistently enjoyable. It's the kind of neighborhood tea shop that keeps you coming back, one perfectly brewed cup at a time.
