Love that it's iPad ordering! The double matcha Cinnamon Toast Crunch was very delicious . Obviously it's on the sweeter side bc of the cereal so it's a great sweet drink. Great outdoor seating too to hang with friends service was quick!

Coconut Matcha
Carlo G.

I tried the viral coconut matcha here and it was pretty good! I lowkey was expecting this to be mid and just a gimmick, but the matcha and coconut combination was actually pretty good. The matcha cream was smooth, flavorful, and not too bitter nor dry. Good quality. The sweetness and smooth texture of the coconut water was refreshing and provided just the right amount of sweetness. The two components combined was super satisfying. I also liked that it functioned as a fresh dessert with fresh coconut chunks that you can scoop and eat with a spoon. They also gave me a cup of the coconut water used which was also sweet and refreshing. The barista was also super nice and you can tell that he enjoyed his job and interacting with the customers. Parking is street parking. This experience blew my expectations! I would love to come back and try their other drinks.

Came here for the viral coconut matcha but they were sold out... but I must admit the regular matcha was absolutely incredible. Definitely worth every penny.

high mountain oolong milk tea w boba
Ashlee L.

Came here around the time they first opened. A cute little shop in the westwood area. The owners were so sweet! They let you sample the milk teas which was really nice. I ended up picking the high mountain oolong milk tea. The tea was very strong, it wasn't too sweet, and I could see them freshly brewing the tea in the back :) I also appreciated their boba to tea ratio. I might have asked for less boba? But I feel like with this size small cup, I only want a little bit of boba and majority to be tea, which they did well. I would definitely recommend checking them out if you're around the area! I want to come back now that they have matcha!!!

the drinks are sooo good! they have limited options but they're amazing nonetheless. the service was as quick as possible, from what i saw it seemed like staff was limited so no judgement! the place is really small so it's definitely better as to-go! only thing i will say is the table they did have was kind of dirty but like i said, better as to-go anyway. you can choose your level of sweetness (i chose recommended 60 which was so sweet in my opinion and super tasty) and they have regular sizing (s, m, l)!

If you're looking for the best matcha within walking distance of UCLA, I can't recommend this spot enough. This little Westwood gem has quickly become my go-to spot whenever I'm craving a matcha that actually tastes balanced and high quality. The drinks are perfectly creamy and sweet without being overly sugary, letting the matcha flavor shine through. My personal favorites are the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Matcha and the Coconut Matcha. The owners are also some of the kindest people you'll meet, they genuinely care about both their customers and the quality of every drink they make.

matcha
Emelin V.

delicious matcha, the perfect sweetness and size. Their hours are a bit up in the air, you should follow their social media so you know when theyre open. The menu is pretty limited as well but I loved the menu they had which was a double matcha and a cinnamon toast matcha. I got the cinnamon toast and they filled it to the top, and even gave me a spoon to eat the cereal lol The space is small but cute, seating is right outside with two tables-- some people sit by the steps though since it gets pretty crowded. Service is excellent and so friendly, as this is a family owned and worked shop.

cocoa puff hojicha
Maricel S.

Le Phant is such a great place to treat yourself to a sweet treat! I love walking down to grab a Cinnamon Toast Matcha (my favorite!) Their Silk Top cold brew teas are so refreshing and perfect for a warm day. They just recently introduced Hojicha to their menu. I love that the Cocoa Puff Hojicha is not too sweet! The owners Saul and Clara are the sweetest and always provide the most welcoming and kind service. If you're around the West LA/UCLA area, I highly recommend making a stop here. Le Phant is my favorite cafe in the west side!

red moon milk tea and strawberry matcha
Lauren H.

My friend and I tried the red moon milk tea and strawberry matcha. Their tea is definitely high quality, you can especially taste it in the milk tea. They even had samples when we went! But at the time, the cup sizes were small for the steep price - I couldn't really justify coming back.

Cinnamon crunch cereal Matcha and Houjicha
Oscar L.

Small spot for a grab and go. Don't know if it's something to die for after trying both drinks, but it's affordable buying a small. Don't know what happened but the seating is locked up so not much of a café or place to study, which loses its appeal. Drinks were made fast, but I wasn't allowed to ask for no ice in one of my drinks? I even prefaced that I understand and accept the fact that my drink will look less than what I paid for. I'm all for no adjustments such as lite, med, heavy ice, but to ask for no ice when I want to save it for later and be told no is beyond me. Regardless of the reason I think it's fair to at least have that option.

Matcha latte
Christine V.

This is a small milk tea store. The staff were really nice. I came near closing and the line was still long. There's some seating outside so you can enjoy your drink. Unfortunately, I didn't know until I was in front of the line that almost all their drinks were sold out. My only options left were matcha. This explains why every person in front of me left with a matcha drink. I wanted to try the pure matcha but they warned me it was just straight matcha and no milk. So I opted for the matcha latte instead. It was so smooth! I would definitely recommend it for others to try. Perfectly balance matcha flavor, sweetness, and milk

Golden elephant black milk tea
Melissa H.

Parking is a bit difficult but we managed to park not too far away! The owner was super friendly and explained the different kind of drinks that are offered. I got the silk top tea and the milk foam is the best tasting milk foam ever!!! It's silky smooth, not too creamy nor watery, perfectly sweet, cheesy, and slightly salty. I was sad they didn't put more! I'm definitely hooked! The golden elephant black milk tea was pretty standard. They have a small indoor space for ordering and the only sitting area is outdoor.

Double matcha
Emily T.

Wow, I am pleasantly surprised and impressed! I've been searching for a place close to UCLA that has good matcha without having to go all the way to Ktown and Le Phant delivered. We ordered the double matcha and it was absolutely delicious. It was a perfect balance of sweet paired with the strong bitterness of the matcha, which I loved. The cream top was satisfying to sip on. I would say it's as close as you can get to Rok's double matcha without having to travel far if you're from the area. Service was super friendly. The aesthetic of the cafe is quite modern, clean, and sleek with a mirror inside you can take pics in front of, and I loved the flower decor. 10/10 would go again

On here it says they are closed on Thursdays, but Google Maps says they are open on Thursdays. Does anyone know the correct hours?

I would say always check their Instagram stories day of because sometimes it might say they're open on yelp/google but can change unexpectedly.

It's so refreshing & the perfect amount of sweetness, not overly sugary at all. The coconut, mango, & sago all pair so well together & I love how fresh this tasted, like you could really taste real fruit & not just syrup. They also have mango & coconut jelly in it, which was delicious & added such a nice chew. All the textures in the drink are so fun too, it honestly feels like a dance party in your mouth in the best way, from the sago to the jelly to the slush itself. The mango is also so sweet & ripe, & the portion size is huge. This drink has gone super viral & I can definitely see why. This place normally has a very long line, sometimes the wait can be 45 minutes, especially if you go during peak hours. I'd suggest ordering ahead, they have a HeyTea app which is so helpful for that. The location itself is really nice though, I like to walk around Rodeo while I wait for my order. This was actually their first West Coast location in the US too, so it makes sense why it's been so packed. Instagram: @hungrytamale

It's a nice little spot on Santa Monica with a calming vibe in the inside.therearea fewbar stools to the right to sit and enjoy your drinks and a few other chairs and sections in the front by the door. Once it was our turn to order, we were told that the boba was t ready and wouldn't be until about an hour later. We we t around 11am, so you may want to call to make sure they have boba if you are coming from a distance. Anyway, since we work down the street, we decided to go back when the boba was ready and get a few drinks. Our order consisted of the loud matcha latte, a match cheese milk tea, and a supreme brown sugar boba, which was my order. Overall, it wasn't the best milk tea boba I had but the boba's were very warm and soft. It was a hot day and I noticed my drink was a little warm too. I was going to add more ice to my drink because there wasn't very much ice in it. It was also creamy with some froth or something. It wasn't bad but it was a little different than what I am used to and I go to a lot of boba spots. I will probably go back to try their fruit teas but the milk teas were a little unusual to me. OOOC 3.5 out of 5 Afros

We arrived close to closing, and I was initially hesitant to go in for that reason. However, I saw another group of several people entering at the same time, so I assumed they were still accepting orders. That group was welcomed inside with smiles and allowed to place their order. When we approached the door immediately afterward, the reception was completely different. The smiles disappeared, and we were essentially shooed away and told we could not order. What made the interaction particularly uncomfortable was the obvious difference in how the two groups were treated within moments of each other. From what I could observe, the most noticeable difference between our group and theirs was the color of our skin. I can't say what motivated the staff's behavior, but the disparity in treatment was significant enough that it left us wondering whether race played a role. If the store was closed and no longer accepting orders, that policy should have been applied equally to everyone. Allowing one group to order while turning another away moments later is difficult to understand and left us feeling unwelcome. At minimum, I think the staff at this location would benefit from additional training on consistent and equitable treatment of customers.

A famous milk tea shop in Irvine, run by the same owner as Papi Ice Cream!…read more Last week, I went to try Papi Ice Cream, and this week, it was time for milk tea! Haha. When we arrived, the line was forming inside the shop, so we followed it in. Luckily, the wait wasn't long, and we were able to order pretty quickly. And guess what? The owner himself took our order! I thought that was pretty cool! Haha. I visited with my two daughters, and when one of them couldn't decide what to order, the owner said something that really impressed me. "Don't worry! I'll take care of you until the very end! And if you don't like what I make, we can always change it. No pressure! Let's figure it out one step at a time!" Haha! How reassuring is that?! He started with a simple question: "Okay, coffee? Milk tea? Matcha? Or regular tea?" Then he asked which milk tea shops we liked in Irvine and what drinks we usually ordered. And then he confidently said, **"I'll make you a milk tea that's even better than your favorite place!"** Haha! WOW. I absolutely loved his confidence! But what impressed me even more was how genuinely thoughtful he was with every question and suggestion. He wasn't just trying to sell us drinks. He was taking the time to understand what each of us actually liked so he could make sure we'd enjoy our choices. You could tell that he takes tremendous pride in his milk tea and truly cares about his customers. And honestly, watching him interact with us, I thought to myself, **"No wonder this business is so successful!"** That kind of confidence, passion, and customer service is something special. Anyway, thanks to the owner's wonderful guidance, all three of us ended up with drinks that perfectly matched our preferences. And YES!! They were absolutely delicious!! So here I am, writing this review to say... **THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST MILK TEA I'VE HAD IN IRVINE!!** Amazing milk tea, an owner who genuinely cares, and customer service that makes you want to come back. What more could you ask for?! I'll definitely be back!
