Stopped by after having dinner with the family, looking for a sweet treat. The entrance is tucked away to the side and the interior or small. We went on a Sunday evening so there was no line. There were a couple people working but we weren't greeted when we walked in. The menu was a little overwhelming so we took a bit of time to figure out what we wanted. Once we were ready, we ordered on the self kiosk and waited for our drinks. I ordered the king mango and my husband got the matcha latte. The matcha tasted poor quality, but that was to be expected. You could definitely still taste the powder. I was very excited for the king mango but was pretty disappointed. The drink wasn't as sweet as I'd hoped and overwhelming with fruit/jelly. I love mango but I'd also like to taste my drink. Once we left, there was no one to greet us on the way out. Don't think I'll be coming back here again.

Whenever we are in or near Old Town Pasadena, my husband and I just have to make a stop by Macu Tea before we leave the area. The drinks here are high quality and authentic. My favorite drink has to be the Sunshine Li-Li Fruit Tea. It has a vibrant and tangy citrus flavor. I love the pieces of fresh passion fruit pulp mixed into the tea. This has the perfect ratio of orange juice and green tea, where no single flavor feels overbearing. Another solid drink is the Matcha Tiramisu, which is actually called a drinking dessert. It has a strong matcha smoothie base infused with some crunchy cookie crumbs topped with a tasty tiramisu foam - very creamy and indulgent. This is the perfect hybrid of a dessert and a drink. For parking, I would recommend the School House Garage parking structure located right behind this bubble tea shop. This little shop is more of a to-go kind of place versus sitting in.

Strawberry Tiramisu, King of Mango Smoothie

I was a little startled by the high prices of the drinks, but it is so valid for the fresh fruit and perfect sweetness of each drink. The king of mango smoothie is a lovely blend of texture with a crisp manila mango flavor. The strawberry tiramisu tastes of real strawberries with a nicely blended creaminess from the foam on top. The store is located in old town Pasadena, so you'll likely have to pay for parking. The store is small and better for a grab-and-go drink, but they prepare the drinks pretty quickly

All the fresh drinks you need for this summer. I had: 1. King of mango smoothies 2. Peach black milk tea 3. Sunshine Li li tea 4. Matcha tiramisu

I've visited Macu Tea in Taiwan before, so I was excited to finally try the Pasadena location. They're known for their fresh fruit teas, and this visit didn't disappoint. The menu took me a minute to figure out--Chi-Chi is cheese foam, Bo-Bo is agar, and Li-Li seems to mean fruit pieces. The drinks were refreshing and not overly sweet, with plenty of fresh fruit. The cheese foam was rich and creamy without being too salty, and I loved the chewy texture of the Bo-Bo. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors!

Macu Tea, a shop that's inside a small sector in Old Town Pasadena. Parking can be arranged in many structures nearby (paid). The shop is pretty small but they have 3 tables for seating. Interior has plenty of wall spots for pictures not only with your order but even yourself. Perfect for Yelpers ;) My wife and I had our eyes on two drinks, Matcha Tiramisu & Sunshine Li-Li Tea. Drinks came out pretty quickly and the staff offered a carrier that was pretty unique, similar to ones you only receive on international trips. 1. The Matcha Tiramisu caught me by surprise. I had my drink at 50% sugar and it felt just right. The matcha mixes really well with the tiramisu which made a really creamy feeling. I love the slight swirl on it as well. Perfect for a nice outing, highly recommend this drink for any matcha/tiramisu lovers. 2. My wife had the Sunshine Li-Li Tea and it was very refreshing. Very similar to fresh fruit teas, best part is that it's not too sweet either, perfect to drink on a warm day to cool down, perfect drink and highly recommend. Overall, Macu Tea has impressed me, although it would be nice if there were more seating arrangements, but with a smaller shop, it's great how it is already without extra seating. I absolutely love the interior & the plentiful of drink choices. Will be back often to try other options.

Delicious and refreshing tea! I tried the lemon jasmine green tea w/half sugar & less ice and loved it. The lemon flavor is not too tart in my opinion and had just the right amount of sweetness. Service is through a self order kiosk at the front. This is not one of those boba places for people to hang out, as it is quite small.

I tried the King of Mango Smoothie, and it was decent. I also ordered another of their top seller, the Strawberry Bobo, which I think is better than the mango. The strawberry one has more sweetness, which I prefer. The King of Mango Smoothie is refreshing but not very sweet. It's a good option for people who enjoy lighter, less sugary drinks. Personally, I like sweeter flavors, so I'd pass on this one next time. On the other hand, the Strawberry Bobo Smoothie had the perfect level of sweetness. The crunchy boba and green tea jelly paired really well with it. Overall, it was worth trying once, but I wouldn't come back.

Came on a Thursday evening and it was empty inside. There are a few tables for indoor seating. We ordered using the kiosk at the counter and it didn't take too long for the drinks to be ready. I tried the Golden Leaf Milk Tea ($6.75) with light sugar and light ice and it was pretty good. Not too creamy and could still taste the tea.

(+) Golden Leaf milk tea MACU tea is a Taiwanese boba/tea shop that specializes in teas and smoothies. They are known for their "King of mango" smoothie, which looks quite delicious and will try on another visit. This location is located on Colorado and the best place to park is at the Fair Oaks/Green St. parking lot. It is a quick 3-4 minute walk. I tried the golden leaf milk tea because I wanted something simple, and simple I got. I loved how you can customize ice and sweetness level. I went with the 30% sweetness, which was perfect for someone who doesn't like sweet drinks. Next time I will have to try the boba. I do wish I tasted more of the tea flavor in the drink. They use non-dairy creamer in their milk teas, so celebrate lactose intolerant people, like myself!! Service/ambiance: The service was great. You can order on a screen but the barista helped me out and took my order. She answered all of questions. They have a few tables to sit down at. The shop is clean and well lit. Overall, I would recommend MACU tea. I can't really say much because I only tried one drink, but my first impression was good enough for me to come back.

Local boba place in the heart of downtown Pasadena. It has a big variety of topping and flavors. The best part of it is that they give a strap for each cup! Soo carrying it will be soo much easier as you continue to shop in old town. I tried the boba milk tea and it was ok. But I say it is a pass. The brown sugar milk tea was great! This is definitely a win. The king of mango....def amazing! Have to try! All in all, it's a great little boba place that's good and prices are reasonable.

I really enjoyed the macu tea in canada and this location in pasadena did not disappoint. I got the king of mango smoothie and it was good! It was sweet but I enjoyed the texture and flavor of the mango smoothie. It was a refreshing drink for summer and i definitely recommend. Price is comparable to other boba places.

I was here when it's still soft opening and also here the first day of grand opening. I love their drinks. High quality; using all real fresh fruits. Love King Mango smoothie, and the orange passion fruit green tea and orange mango green tea. It's a small boba shop, mostly for takeout because they don't really have much space not table and seats to sit around. The service is excellent; helpful and friendly. They let you try out drinks. And most importantly their drinks aren't too sweet which I like. I will come back again to try more drinks. read more

The best fruit boba tea in LA: it's not even close. The tiny & well lit boba shop does not have a bathroom. But the staff is friendly & helpful. There's a 10 cent surcharge in bag. But the reason we cone back again & again is the excellent fruit teas: we usually get 0-30% sugar to let the fruit flavors come to the fore. As much as the orange, passion fruit & grapefruits are the stars, I was completely surprised how refreshing & tasty the peach tea was. Well worth an out if the way stop. read more

Good oolong/peach flavor was light, airy, and slightly sweet. The black sesame chiffon roll was also light and subtly sweet with a nice nutty flavor. The cafe itself was pretty small with 3 small tables, 1 big table, and bar seatings with charging ports. The bathroom was closed and it was really warm inside. I couldn't see myself studying or staying too long, which may be for the best since parking is tricky and street parking has a 2 hour limit. An okay experience, but I don't see myself coming back.

The coffee is first rate. The chocolate chip scone I had was crispy and wonderful. (Thank goodness they only had one left or I would have had two!) The coffees they featured on the day I was there were Maple Oat and a Sweet and Salty PB (peanut butter) Latte. If those drinks are as good as the mocha they made me, they should be great.

Instead, I got an Americano. The ordering process is either traditional face to face or completely self-service on a touchscreen. I tried touch screen & there was literally zero human interaction--until my name was called to pick up my drink. And yet, the screen still politely asked me if I wanted to leave a tip. Tip for what exactly? My exceptional ability to operate a touchscreen? And after picking up my nearly $9 coffee, there was no "thank you," no "have a great day," not even a polite nod of acknowledgment. Just me, my Americano, and the realization that I apparently just paid luxury pricing for a very average coffee experience. The coffee was good. The storefront is cute. The seating is nice. But good enough to justify $8.95? Unfortunately, no.

If you haven't been to Macu Tea yet, you're seriously missing out. I stopped by on a whim and left totally impressed. Their drink menu is bursting with creative and mouthwatering options, but here's what I tried: Chocolate Tiramisu: This is the drink you didn't know you needed in your life. A perfect balance of creamy, chocolatey goodness with a subtle coffee undertone. It tastes exactly like the dessert--smooth, rich, and indulgent. Honestly, I could drink this every day. King of Mango Smoothie: Mango lovers, you have found your new obsession. This smoothie is the epitome of fresh, tropical flavor. It's thick, refreshing, and just sweet enough without being overpowering. Plus, the blend of fruits is absolutely perfect. My new go-to for when I want something fruity but with a twist! Chi Chi Strawberry: This one was an unexpected delight. The sweetness of the strawberries combined with the creamy base created the perfect balance. It felt like I was sipping on a dessert, but not in an overly sweet way. It's the perfect drink for those who love something fruity but more refreshing than heavy. Wintermelon Lemonade: This is definitely an interesting and unique take on the classic lemonade. The wintermelon adds a soft, almost herbal quality, while the lemonade packs that zesty citrus punch. It's refreshing, light, and super refreshing, especially if you're looking for something a bit different than the usual fruit teas. The vibe of the place is cozy and chill, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. If you're in Pasadena, do yourself a favor and make a trip to Macu Tea. I'm already planning my next visit to try more of their menu! read more

Located right along E Colorado Blvd in Old Town Pasadena, Macu Tea's storefront gives a bright, welcoming vibe as you approach. It shares an entrance with a few neighboring spots, but once you're inside, the focus shifts to the warm, lively atmosphere of the tea shop itself. The staff member who took my order was a standout, her energy and charm immediately making the experience feel personal. She recommended the Orange & Mango Li-Li Tea at 30% sweetness, a suggestion I'm glad I followed. The drink was refreshingly balanced, with pieces of mango adding texture and bursts of natural sweetness, perfectly complementing the smooth tea base. The interior is modern and inviting, with playful, low-to-the-ground seating that adds a cozy touch. As I sipped my tea, I knew I'd be back, not just for the drink, but for the warmth and energy that made this tea stop memorable. read more

For the drink, I would rate 4.5 stars. I ordered 6 drinks, but one drink had missed boba in one of drinks that I ordered. The location, I would rate 2 It's so hard to find a parking space in that location. There is no restroom in the store. I have to use the restroom in the bar area.

It was quality. The last time I was there, the quality went down. I felt like they changed the milk to a cheaper milk. I stopped going. Just found out that it closed down as well. I have also tried the strawberry fluffy matcha here once. Other times, I got their teas and milk teas with fresh bobas. It wasn't that great so that was the reason why I went to the Arcadia location even though this one was closer. I was near this location last night so decided to give it a try. Ordered 2 of the strawberry fluffy matcha with almond milk. It was pretty bland. Taste of matcha was weak. The almond milk somewhat tasted like water. Not sure why the quality gone down so much.

Their Peach Oolong and Passionfruit black tea with their jellies. They don't do the typical coconut based small pieces of jelly, instead opting for house made with jelly. The price of these drinks is super reasonable, the tea quality great, and the jellies refreshing and delicious. 2. On the more premium side price wise, the taro milk tea here is nonetheless worth it. They use 100% real taro. No syrup. No powder. On top of that, even compared to other places which use real taro, this is the best iteration of the drink I've had. Subtly earthy and only slightly sweet, creamy, even with oat milk. An incredible drink. The vibe is relaxing and nice. Service is solid to great, depending on who is working. The owner is very kind!!! Seating is pleasant. Parking is the only issue since the city metered everything, but if you're grabbing a going, try the Total Wines or Target lot. You'll be fine.

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???

It was very refreshing and a solid balance of artificial banana and coffee, but once I was about 25% down to the end of the cup, this iced latte started tasting like coffee banana milk, so I tossed the rest lol. All in all this is a solid drink to try here as a first timer. I think next time if I ever ordered it again, I would ask for half ice instead of the default amount. Additionally, my friend ordered Persimmon Milk and she liked it. It seems all the iced drinks come in large or extra large size. For the price point, $5.99 is such a deal. Customer service was average, our drinks were made very promptly after we placed them on the self-order kiosks. Though, we weren't greeted when we walked in because the employee working the front was talking to her friend or another employee. A minor thing in overview of the experience; they were appreciative of our business and said bye, thank you to us when we were leaving after finishing our drinks. Parking - park at 99 Ranch Market just a little ways down the street from Hawaii Supermarket (or can also park here since it's closer but the parking lot gets filled up quicker and is much more condensed than the 99 Ranch parking lot). Pro tip: you can add up to 2 free shots in a coffee drink, which is very cool!
