    when the lady said they were out of boba and takoyaki I knew the food was going to slap. They make taiwanese food with rice and broccoli l. I got the pork chop. crispy and flavorful. don't let the storefront fool you. the winter melon tea was also very nice and intense. And for the price you can't beat it.

    Long read...Okay I by chance found this place. For those that want inexpensive, simple and well rounded meals this is a place to go. It's a mom and pop shop and presentation of the place isn't anything to write about, except for the price for the food you get and the great taste! It seems like this is a hidden, low key, gem of sorts - look at the photo of the two plates. Two plates and a boba drink cost me $20.95!! For the amount of food, comparing this to escalating prices elsewhere, this place is a good value! The way I eat my meals, this is an opportunity to counter act the inflationary aspect of food, possibly a plan is to come in and buy like 10 plates with differing mains based off their menu and throw them into the freezer for the week and microwave what you want to eat. I (me) can get two meals out of a plate so technically I can eat for a work week for a little less than $50! Cash only place!!!

    This place use to be Copycat Cafe, but it seems to be renamed now, although retaining the same menu. I use to come at least once a week back in high school, and still come sometimes for their rice bowls and drinks! Affordable, and an all around great place to come for locals. When I visited, they weren't open but I'll be sure to come back another time!

    Fb group removed my neither bashing nor negative review, it was an honest review so people can see different point of view!

    Somehow my fb pic doesn't show up. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. My comment was removed by fb group called SGV Eats. I know it has nothing to do with the owner. But my comment was not negative nor bashing, was hoping to give honest feedbacks. Very disappointed by the fb group!!! I am posting it here so people can see it. The comment I made on fb was that for the set dinner, there wasn't much difference between the 2 vs 3 vs 4 ppl in terms of amount of food. I don't mind paying more for more food, but if it didn't make much of a difference then I would opt for the cheaper set. At least one other commenter agreed with me. But yet fb group didn't allow me to post anything less than a raving review. I don't want other people to complete believe what the fb group says. Why can't I leave honest review like this? It is to make the owner know what he can do to improve customers' experience!

    Microwaved food

    The food here is awful. I ordered Hainan Chicken and it was microwaved and bland. The pork chop is a little better but I would go elsewhere if taste is important to you. Sometimes we find restaurants than look crappy but serve up great food. The food match show this place looks.

    Burnt meatballs.

    I am extremely disappointed in the food quality of this place. I've ordered tons of Taiwanese food deliveries from various places throughout the pandemic, and I have never had such bad experience. Of the food we ordered, we got spoiled Taiwanese sausages, burnt meatballs, burnt fried fish cake, and oyster pancake completely made wrong without gelatin. I will not be returning.

    They have daily family meal special. Food was delicious and it came with authentic Cantonese soup. You can use WhatsApp to join their mailing list. 626-348-1338

The store itself feels cold but it's aesthetic and calm, and good amount of seating area. My favorite is the Jade Mountain Green Milk Tea or the blended Matcha! I love how their drinks are not overly sweet, and you can actually taste the tea in it without the bitterness.

I thought maybe something was broken the first time I went, but judging by reviews dating back to 2025, the smell has been there forever. Just type "smell" into the search. It hits you the second you open the door...like stepping into a really damp public restroom. First time I came, I almost walked out because it smelled so unsanitary. I wondered if the drinks were contaminated. It's also mixed with the aroma of tea brewing so it's really unpleasant. I think this would've been a nice cafe to chill at with friends, but I'd be embarrassed to invite friends here, knowing it has a bad odor. In the future, I might consider finding another cafe with a similar drink, even though I do really like theirs. I typically like sitting in cafes for a bit, but not here. If it weren't for the smell, I'd give it 5 stars, and I'd definitely be a repeat customer. Someone needs to address that issue.

    Bubble Puff & Tea is a local cafe and dessert shop across the street from PCC offering a signature…read morebubble waffle with all sorts of delicious toppings, drinks, and café items. My daughter and I came on a Wednesday evening after visiting the excellent Dumpling Wei next door. We were welcomed into a busy, student-filled cafe. The decor is understated, worn, and very student driven, with a charming sign offering a free milk drink to any student who ordered a full meal during a challenging exam week - how kind [+1 point for service]. We ordered from a screen; call me old fashioned, but I like being greeted and the place wasn't busy enough to justify such a streamlined experience. We ordered the original waffle with vanilla ice cream. It took about 10 minutes as we entertained ourselves with the claw machine and got lucky - twice. The waffle was crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, with a distinct fortune-cookie flavor. It was delicious, and paired perfectly with the vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. We did not get a filling nor try the delectable appearing chocolate waffle - next time! Prices were elevated - $8 for the waffle and $2.50 for the ice cream (complete with whipped cream and chocolate syrup), but the unique product was absolutely delicious. While my undergraduate career was 20 years ago, I really can appreciate a place like this. Were I a student at PCC, I would simply live at this establishment. Good for a quick dessert and perfect for students, Bubble Puff & Tea is well worth a stop. Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 3.5/5

    3/5 stars I found…read moreBubble Puff & Tea after searching for local boba spots near Pasadena City College since I was meeting up with my sister in the area. There were quite a few boba shops nearby, but honestly the business name alone caught my attention and made me choose this one. The shop is conveniently located directly across from Pasadena City College, which makes it a great spot for students looking to grab drinks or food between classes. The downside is parking. There's very limited parking in the back and a lot of nearby residential streets have "no parking" signs, so finding a spot can be a little annoying. The shop itself is a decent size and definitely seems popular with students hanging out, studying, or working on assignments. Personally though, the atmosphere didn't feel especially warm or cozy to me compared to some other boba shops I've visited. The layout also felt a bit narrow, which was difficult navigating with my son's stroller. That said, what the shop lacked in atmosphere for me, it definitely made up for with the drinks and food. I ordered a 16 oz jasmine milk tea and even though I had to pay extra for boba (which brought the total to almost $5.50), the drink itself was honestly pretty good. I was also hungry, so I tried the pork buns, which ended up being tasty and surprisingly filling. You get four for around $13. While I do think you could probably get a larger meal elsewhere for the same price, the quality itself was still good. One thing I appreciated is that they have a larger food menu than most boba shops. Besides milk teas and fruit teas, they also offer popcorn chicken, appetizers, soups, rice dishes, sandwiches, smoothies, coffee, and even ice cream drinks. Customer service was excellent. The staff were polite, efficient, and kind throughout the visit. Overall, I think this is a solid spot for Pasadena City College students looking for a place to study, hang out with friends, or grab a quick meal and boba. I do think the shop could benefit from adding a little more personality and warmth to the space... maybe board games, student artwork, or more fun décor would help make it feel more inviting and memorable???

I always come here to get a matcha latte, and they do it just right with not too much sugar. They also have variety of eatery and after regular breakie they also sell beer and have a bar! Although I've never came here for the other events I think they also host trivia nights that if I had more time in my life I would come and check out. I been coming here every week for their matcha if I have time and just some nice pastry to go with it. A lot of people come here to have their morning routine, they have indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice since people with dogs are able to bring their pets on not too hot days. They have parking in the back for just them, but they also have street parking if you want to grab and go! I've had their chicken sandwich, and its enough for 2 meals! Delicious and highly recommend!

I really like the concept of this place being a coffee shop during the day and a brewery later on. It gives the space a relaxed, chill atmosphere that I can appreciate. Unfortunately, the food and drinks just didn't do it for me this time. I ordered the $9 sub, which was premade and had that unmistakable straight-from-the-fridge hard bread situation. Plus, it could use some mayo, or at least some kind of sauce. For $9, I expected better and definitely wouldn't spend the money on it again. The hojicha latte was another miss. I've had hojicha plenty of times and usually love its smooth, roasty flavor, but this one wasn't sweet or creamy enough for my taste and came across a little too straight-up. The raspberry cream on top didn't add much flavor either. I also grabbed a day-old pastry. It was pretty hard and had a slightly stale crème-brûlée-like top, although I'll give it credit -- once warmed up, it was actually pretty delicious. Overall, 3 stars. I like the concept and the convenience, but unfortunately nothing I had was quite good enough to make me want to come back anytime soon.
