    This place usually has a long time so I've never tried it. The other day I pass by there's no line at all. I got strawberry matcha which It's pretty good, but I wouldn't wait half of hour in line for it haha

    Sakura Daifuku (special)

    Oooh montblanc soft serve has made it to Arcadia! Matcha Ren was announced in May and then opened in September in the old hainan chicken spot (near the Nordstrom as you walk towards the outdoors area, past Uncle Tetsu!) It's kiosk order only and service was relatively quick despite the building line. I ordered the: *Matcha Montblanc Parfait (layered with the montblanc, Hokkaido milk cream (you could also pick Matcha ice cream), strawberry puree, mochi , crunchy cereal and kadang (jelly)) - I enjoyed this! The strawberry puree was pretty sweet for me but I loved finding the mochi and kadang. I also think I'll get the matcha ice cream next time so it's more matcha forward. *Sakura Daifuku - the texture was on point, so soft and fresh. It also delivered on the cherry blossom flavor.

    Stopped by on Saturday, 02/28/26 for the first time. Located near the food court area near Din Tai Fung @ Westfield Santa Anita mall (Arcadia, CA), I ordered the following via the kiosk: - 1 matcha soft serve = $6.90 Sooo good! This place is relatively new and wait time can be quite long but worth it! The matcha flavor is strong yet sweet and authentic! I will definitely come back to try out their other items on the menu :D

    Decided to skip the matcha drinks and ice cream since I was disappointed when I first went there a few months ago so I gave this spot a second chance and got their popular mochi instead! At first, I was hesitant to spend $4.80 on 1 mochi but I ended up being curious and getting 2! This was definitely the priciest mochi I've gotten but after seeing so much hype on social media on how their mochi is freshly made, I had to get it. The Matcha Strawberry mochi tasted very fresh, soft, and chewy. It didn't taste too sweet or doughy but wish there was more of a matcha flavor. The strawberry would have been better if it was more sweet. I really enjoyed that there was a string given to cut the mochi perfectly in half! The strawberry choco mochi was very sweet and the strawberry tasted hard and not sweet. Definitely don't recommend getting this and would much rather get the matcha strawberry! Overall, I liked the matcha mochi better than the matcha drinks but definitely will not be returning because it was pricey and nothing too special unfortunately!

    I came here to get a light snack but quickly changed my mind when I saw they had a Sakura special menus going on. A Sakura parfait with sakura jelly lychee, mochi, sakura white bean paste, rice krispies, matcha cake. For later I ordered the Sakura strawberry daifuku. Both were delicious but it took a long time to get it so I sat for a bit at the tables.

    Passed by this matcha spot over the weekend at Santa Anita Mall and noticed there was a line, so of course I had to see what the hype was about! The setup is open and you can clearly see their workstation while ordering. I noticed that the bowls and whisks didn't seem to be rinsed or changed between drinks, and spills on the counter weren't being wiped down right away. It made the area look a little less clean. I ordered two drinks. First was the banana cream matcha -- it was delicious and really smooth, but I honestly couldn't taste much matcha. It leaned more toward a banana milk flavor. The second was the blueberry matcha.They used blueberry purée (it tasted fresh!), but similar to the first drink, the matcha flavor was very light and got overshadowed. Overall, the drinks were enjoyable flavor-wise, especially if you prefer fruit-forward matcha drinks. I just wish the matcha flavor itself was stronger and that the workstation upkeep was a bit more polished.

    Came at 8pm and there was no line. Thought they were closed but the worker was in the back. He came out when we rang the bell. I got the sakura foam matcha latte and i loved the flower notes from the sakura foam. The drink wasnt sweet but it was good. They had mochi and daifuku. It looked good but we were soo full it wouldve been a waste of money. They sell a 5 piece matcha set, the chasen separately, and matcha powder if you want to make it at home yourself. Id come back to try their ice cream and mochi to see how they are.

    Matcha Ren is located next to Red Rock in the corridor between Din Tai Fung and the promenade and serves a variety of matcha treats--crepes, daifuku, Mont Blanc soft serves, and matcha drinks. I've passed by it a few times where the line almost made it to the boba shop next door. It doesn't move super fast but isn't too long of a wait either. We ordered daifuku, although they were unfortunately out of the shiroan by that time (7pm?) and I don't like the anko daifuku as much. It's nice that the offer the shiroan one in general though. It's pretty tasty for the US, with the only downside being the outside was a little crusty from sitting in the fridge. Both Mont Blancs were yummy, but I liked the parfait ($10) way more because of the mochi balls and tart strawberries which helped balance the milky soft serve. The regular Mont Blancs are $9.20, daifukus are $5 which is quite expensive for a single.

    Matcha and Milk Swirl

    Was craving a drink while shopping at Santa Anita Mall and decided to give this place a try. I always cross paths with this matcha shop and notice that there's always a long line but my family and I got there and no line surprisingly on a Saturday afternoon. Before I ordered, I saw that their bowl and whisk aren't being washed in between making each drink. You can see through the transparent glass how messy the bar is since the leftover matcha just drips down from the whisk and bowl. Whatever, we still decided to order and take our chances. I got the banana cream matcha and you can taste the freshness of the banana cream top. The matcha wasn't as concentrated as I hoped it would be but it was decent. My mom got their matcha and milk swirl and I got to have a bite of it. It was creamy and refreshing on a hot day. Total for these two items were $15.08. I got to try my cousin's sakura matcha latte and it tasted a little watery.

    Came here a couple of times and this place in terms of wait has been a hit or miss meaning one day there'll be a long line or other days it'll just be a short wait. The matcha drinks here are pretty comparable to other places which is a good thing but doesn't mean it really stands out compared to the rest. Nevertheless, the Matcha Strawberry drink I got wasn't too bad. We also ordered their Mont Blanc to try. It's probably the must-try here at Matcha Ren. The shavings on top of mixed with the flavor of the soft serve was a good combination. You can really taste the matcha on top and the Hokkaido milk flavor was pretty good. Their daifuku was also good. Strawberries were fresh which is a plus. For a nice dessert place to go to after having dinner here at the mall, this would be a good spot to try especially if you like matcha.

    Mont blanc
    Jamie F.

    For the popularity of this place, this store location seemed understaffed and not well placed. I waited in line for 20 minutes as the line stretched behind into the hallway leading outside. Upon receiving the mont blanc soft serve, the ice cream looked aesthetically pleasing. However, I was not a fan of the texture of the mont blanc as it's very similar to play-doh. The ice cream was also lackluster as the matcha did not come through and ended up tasting more like condensed milk. The combination of a milky ice cream and bean paste texture is not something I would order again.

    Visited on a Thursday evening. Pretty easy ordering system. I was craving matcha and something fruity so ended up ordering a mango matcha latte. I was very happy with the amount of matcha they used and the mango flavor was strong as well. Tasted delicious. Glad there's a reliable matcha spot at the Arcadia mall! Will definitely come back to try some of the limited Sakura items.

    I had seen this place on Tik tok and was so excited to try it. Line was pretty long but my fault because I got there almost at closing time. We tried the parfait strawberry which was really good. We also tried the matcha mochi ice cream not sure if it was because they were almost closing but it was falling apart. The ice cream was dripping everywhere. Overall I would recommend but definetly go earlier in the day.

    My wife and I visited Oops Boba on the weekend and it wasn't busy at all. We ordered on Fantuan and…read moreour order was ready within 5-10 minutes. Parking - Street parking only, no dedicated parking lot. Interior is pretty clean, cafe vibes, and some tables around but not too many. There's a huge table for big groups as well which is nice. There's also a self ordering kiosks which is always a nice sight to see when you visit tea shops. We tried the White Peach Oolong Milk Tea and the Oops Cheese Matcha Smash which seems to be one of their more popular drinks. The white peach is what you expect, refreshing and easy to sip. Very happy with the drink overall. As for the Oops Cheese Matcha Smash, aesthetically, the drink is great for photos. It looks more like a swirl drink than anything. I love the overall texture of the drink. It was also as refreshing as the white peach. The cheese mix with the matcha created a swirling feeling, each sip is filled with both flavoring, highly recommend. Excited to revisit again later on, love their menu options, and it seems like a decent spot to hangout with friends or a group despite the smaller space.

It's crisp black tea, salty & sweet brulee foam, and non-dairy milk with bouncy, perky boba pearls. I sipped happily. I arrived at Oops Boba Tea & Coffee (Temple City) on Sunday (around 11:12AM). Parking is simple since there's a nearby neighborhood with street parking. I quickly found a spot. Customers can order at the self-service kiosk or the counter. I chose the self-service kiosk, and I regret it because I dislike how the self-service kiosk requires the customer's phone number to proceed. Staff communicates well. After ordering, Staff honestly & politely informed me that they'd need 20 additional minutes for their Boba since they recently opened. I was perfectly fine with that since they spoke upfront and honestly. After the 20 minutes passed, the drink took four minutes and 14 seconds. As mentioned, I ordered the Baked Brulee Milk Tea ($6.59) with Boba (additional 75 cents). It's delicious. This chill drink carries a crisp tea flavor. The foam is also zesty with a soft sweetness. It reminds me of a creamy milk tea. In addition, they made wonderful boba pearls. These boba pearls are sweet, bouncy, and playful. YUM! On ambiance, Oops Boba Tea & Coffee (Temple City) is a wonderful spot to study/work. There's a long wooden table with 9 electrical plug spots, and there's four available electrical outlets. The location also includes customer internet with password; the details are confidently shown on the counter. The location also has a gender neutral restroom in the back, and there's plentiful hand sanitizer bottles in reach. The location felt clean and comfortable. Oops Boba Tea & Coffee (Temple City) uses its space well. There's four tables and one long wooden table. There's also two small outside tables. During my stay, it felt very comfy as I listened to its smooth music. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Oops Boba Tea & Coffee (Temple City). They serve wonderful drinks and boba. If searching for a place to study/work, this is an easy recommendation. 4.8 out of 5

    I've been here multiple times and it never disappoints.

I've also tried their Japanese hojicha latte and osthmanthus before and that was really good too. Honestly, I haven't had a miss here yet. The inside is nice and spacious with lots of seating, making it a perfect place to get work done or catch up with friends. Service is friendly, and there's plenty of parking either on the street or in the back lot. Definitely one of my go to spots!

I don't not enjoying writing…read morethis review as I enjoy the coffee and the friendly service, but this place cuts corners on labor and it needs to be called out. I used to come here pretty often but not so much anymore. One reason, consistently long wait times, even if you order ahead online. I have only seen two people working and it's obvious that that at least three are needed. If anybody ahead of you orders multiple drinks or even worse, if they order food, you are not going anywhere soon. Example: I ordered two lattes and there was only one person ahead of me who wore 1 drink and one person already sitting in the cafe whom ordered food. I was there waiting for my 2 drinks for almost 20 minutes. The staff that I interacted with are friendly. Staff are overworked as they are under staffed, and ultimately, customers like myself suffer because Fika can't bother to pay for enough labor. To make matters even worse, their seating is uncomfortable. Only concrete and wood seats with odd shaping. If you're going to make customers wait so long, at least provide comfortable seating. I'm writing this review in hopes that this place will turn it around. It has so much potential but it is too expensive for service so slow, and cheap seating.
