    Unique flavor combos and star quality! Molly Tea was a great spot for some after dinner dessert, but be prepared, you will most likely have to wait awhile. I've waited up to 30 minutes from the times I have been. I'd recommend ordering online before you go to the shop. I loved their Apple Milk Tea, its pink and perfectly refreshing but its no longer on the menu since it was a seasonal drink.

    Finally got to try molly tea after seeing it pop up on my feed so many times and their jasmine DID NOT DISAPPOINT I got snowy jasmine and velvety matcha supreme, the jasmine tea flavor is packed with floral flavor but the tea still comes through. Velvety matcha is smooth and sweetness is just right, although the matcha foam and latte itself did not have as strong of matcha flavor, it was still enjoyable! It is ordered with self order kiosk but the drinks comes out a bit slow, I waited about 10 minutes for my drink :,) The inside has plenty seating and its nicely decorated Parking is plenty and theres other places to shop around and eat!

    One of the newer Molly Tea locations to pop up in the SGV, and this spot seems pretty busy all the time. Swung by after dinner and ordered the Gardenia Milk Tea with boba. I'll say the Gardenia Milk Tea itself was quite good. The tea flavor was very noticeable and you can actually taste the gardenia, which I liked. But the boba was super soft and mushy, which was a huge letdown, especially for a boba spot. They're also giving out zodiac pins right now, and you can get one during your birthday month, which I thought was pretty cool. I have to say I do like the tea at Molly Tea, but the boba was so bad I couldn't even sleep that night lol. I'd come back for the tea, but the boba was whack.

    Just came by for a quick drink after dinner. It was a bit crowded but not too crowded, there wasn't a line and we ordered via the kiosk. I think since it's still new they had a spin the wheel for a prize per order. We took a turn and got a coupon for %80 off one drink. After ordering, you get a number and there's some seating like a couch and a few tables and chairs and they will call out your number. I got the supreme matcha drink, it was set to recommended 50% sweetness and tasted pretty good (had to mix it completely to ensure the milk and matcha are mixed). I really liked the thickness and creaminess but it had a strong aromatic tea flavor that I think many will like, but not my favorite. The ease of ordering and getting the drink is probably what makes the place 5 stars, the price of drinks just keeps reaching $7-8, so a treat here and there for now!

    This was my first time trying Molly Tea, and I had a really great experience! I ordered the Snowy Jasmine, and it was so delicious. The drink was refreshing and had a really nice balance of flavors. The creamy topping paired perfectly with the jasmine tea and made every sip enjoyable. lI'll definitely be coming back to explore more of their menu because this first visit was a great one. Luckily the line wasn't long therefore why I stopped by. I have seen how long the line can get which was why I didn't ever go. Great place. Very pretty inside and just the vibe is cute. Coming back for sure!!

    I came back to try their velvety matcha champoca milk tea. They had a special going on, so I got a free scent satchet and magnet with it. Then I also got to spin the wheel, winning a coupon. I ordered through the app so it was easy to pick up. The wait time was only 10 min. Staff was friendly at the counter. The matcha was very strong but I could also taste the tea. It was a good balance at 30%sugar and ice.

    Premium apple milk tea is a 10/10. This is a must for apple lovers! I will be coming back!

    Updating my review to 4 STARS since Molly Arcadia still hardly ever has my mango smoothie favorite available- but when they do... it's a HAPPY day because this Molly mango smoothie is the absolute BEST around. I'm not sure what it is that they seem to run out of or that this drink is just in such high demand but it's the most perfect blend of mango chunks, coconut milk, sago, pomelo bits, and chewy agar boba... No one else compares (altho JamJam Old Pasadena is still a close 2nd). Good location, comfortable meetup spot, free parking.

    Came with friends after dinner to grab some boba. They have plenty of seating inside and the interior is nicely decorated. We ordered on the Hungry Panda app since there was a discount. The pickup was super easy since they have screens that show your order number. They put my drink in a cute bag and looked very cool. I ordered the Premium Jasmine Matcha, less ice and 30% sugar. The jasmine tea taste is nice and strong with the subtle taste of the matcha foam. The jasmine is nice and floral, not bitter at all even with 30% sugar. My friends got the White Champaca Milk Tea, Osmanthus Milk Tea, and Tongmu Lapsang Salted Cheese Milk Tea. And they liked their drinks. They have a lot of good tea and milk tea options here and great quality. Will come back again!

    Deer owners of Molly t I have written over several hundred reviews and they are honest reviews based pm service food and unbiased first hand customer experience . Here it is. Employees are the face of a business any business and your was a disappointment to me and my family. Here is the short story we were lining up for the kiosk and found that some item on menu was not on the kiosk we spent a long time then we asked an employee who was busy helping another customer manually enter their order on her screen we waited patiently until she was done with the process then we went to speak with her and we mentioned to her we wanted to order this item but it was not on the kiosk menu she then told me oh we are sold out and then we said okay can we order this other item and then she said please use the kiosk. We said can you take our order she said no you can use the kiosk and pointed . She just literally helped someone else but not us ??? What would you do owners of Molly Tea if you walked to a store and experienced this ?? Would you want to spend your hard earned money and spend $8.00 on a drink to be treated and after being treated this way ??? I rest my case. On another note. We went to in and out and they had a different tone and consistent tone among ALL their employees. Smile acknowledge courteous friendly staffs from order taker to order received . Why can't you model after this type of customer service??? Bottom line Treat the customer how YOU want to be treated. PS. My daughter and many our friends have been there and enjoyed your pricey drinks . But we will surely share our UNFORTUNATE experience with them all !

    Love the grape jasmine tea! This location is so much easier to access than the other location and the drinks come out so fast. 10/10 coming back.

    Premium Jasmine Milk Tea
    Shaye W.

    The Jasmine milk tea had a strong tea flavor. It wasn't too sweet either. I'd definitely recommend giving Molly Tea a try!

    Nancy T.

    Wow the tea is my new addiction. The teas are all smooth and fragrant tasting and I did not need to make any adjustments. It comes out perfect. I had their osmanthus milk tea and their champacca plant oolong milk tea and it is very light, not too sweet, and pleasant tasting! Their matcha milk is good too. The coconut jasmine premium is usually sold out. All their drinks taste and smell like floral or Jasmine. I am a sucker for their cute bags, sparkly cup container and straws! I tried their sago and boba and its mushy. I am just here for the tea. Their Premium Jasmine tea tastes like 85c mountain green tea, except it is stronger here.

    Amazing! Fantastic! Stupendous! Magnanimous! Bloody hell good! Blimey!…read more Let's begin this cat review...meow. 3CAT is a boba tea shop in Arcadia at Santa Anita mall. It is one of the most local popular tea shops in the valley. They gave a welcoming vibe and a convenient kiosk for faster ordering. I came late afternoon to grab some refreshing tea. I was in the mood for a new a new boba tea house so I said why not 3CAT. Atmosphere was nice and seems very popular with locals. They have limited seats both indoor and outdoor. I had an Avomango smoothie. It was one of the best boba smoothie I had in a while. They can rival Cha Redefine with the type of boba tea they serve. Service was spot on. Staff were very industrious and competent. Prices were reasonable that match the quality. Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed their refreshing smoothie. I highly recommend.

    I've been here so much lately because it's just THAT good. I love the creamy pineapple tart and the…read morepineapple milk tea. The pineapple tart is more like a dessert drink (I don't think it has caffeine), and it's probably one of my top 3 favorite drinks. It tastes like a pineapple milkshake without being blended. I've also tried the mango tart, which is very tasty as well. I've been here a few times already and service is usually pretty helpful and friendly. Regarding ambiance, this place is mostly for to-go drinks. Yes, there is a little bit of seating, but not enough to be a hangout spot. Happy to have such a great tea shop as an option in Arcadia, especially when I need a sweet and creamy treat!

    The first time I had ChiCha San Chen was at the San Gabriel location, when it was still new. I…read morewaited a very long time in line for a peach drink, and it was genuinely one of the best boba drinks I've had. I hadn't gone back since because I'm never in San Gabriel, but when I heard that Chicha San Chen was opening in Arcadia, I was super excited, since I live near the new Arcadia location. Since ChiCha had a stellar reputation for their teas and quality of drinks, and since I'd had such a delicious drink at the San Gabriel location, even when they were absolutely packed and SWAMPED, I assumed Arcadia would maintain the same quality. Unfortunately, I was sorely and utterly mistaken to think that. I first visited Chicha San Chen in Arcadia on Halloween 2025, and it wasn't super busy despite it being a brand new location. That should have been my first warning sign, that there were many better boba spots to spend my hard-earned money on. I can think of at least eight different boba spots off the top of my head within a 1-mile radius of ChiCha, where I can be guaranteed a drink that at least tastes like tea. Depressingly, I had the misfortune of spending my Halloween and my cash on a dong ding oolong tea at ChiCha instead. The Ding ding oolong tea, despite being one of the best sellers at the time, was very watered down. Oolong tea is a very strong and fragrant brew, especially when you choose lower sugar and ice levels like I do, but somehow ChiCha managed to mess it up. It wasn't just me as well, my friend also ordered the Ding dong oolong tea without cream, and he agreed that it was watered down. Adding to the experience was the fact that there was absolutely nowhere to sit, despite the location being pretty empty besides people picking up their drinks and leaving. After that absolutely amazing first impression of Arcadia's ChiCha San Chen, I have avoided this location like the plague! Sadly, I received a bubble milk tea as a gift this Friday. Someone had asked me what I'd wanted from another nearby boba shop, but unbeknownst to me, had changed their mind and gone to ChiCha. I spotted the drink on my desk, saw the ChiCha packaging, and prayed against reality that they had gone to a location besides the Arcadia one, especially since the presumably TEA drink looked suspiciously WHITE. Still, I held out hope that maybe, the sad state of my past oolong tea had been an unfortunate fluke; perhaps I'd come on an off-day, and maybe they'd improved since then. Alas, my spirit of good faith was for naught. I should have know from the color, or lack thereof, of the drink. Despite being a bubble milk TEA, presumably using black tea like most traditional milk teas do, the drink is BARELY OFF-WHITE. However, don't let the vague beige-ness fool you. That beige is not from tea; it's from the brown sugar syrup that's mixed with the boba. The drink looks like those brown sugar boba MILKS that used to be so very popular in the mid-2010s, and boy, does it sure taste like it. I was looking forward to some caffeine, but at that point I wasn't even sure if they put any tea in the drink. It was watered down, I tasted almost no tea, and somehow it was worse than the Halloween oolong tea. It's funny because I could literally tell which location the person who gave me the drink went to just based on the taste, or should I say, the lack of taste, of the bubble milk tea. I asked them later to confirm that yes, they had gone to the Arcadia location. I LOVE milk tea, but I really don't like just milk, so I ended up throwing the drink away after I was out of sight of the person who gave me the drink. I only drank about a quarter of the drink. Honestly, it was genuinely impressive how a renowned boba tea chain can't figure out how to make a basic bubble milk tea properly where you can actually taste the tea. However, I will give them props for one thing -- the boba itself, as in the actual tapioca pearls, were perfect. I understand ChiCha is known for their fruit drinks, so I wonder if that's why I don't see more reviews saying the tea is watered down at this location -- perhaps people got fruit teas and those fruit teas were good. Which begs the question: if your location can only (presumably) make fruit teas decently, then why bother having any milk teas in the menu? Boba drinks are expensive, it really sucks to pay so much for a drink, expect an at least DECENT milk tea, and getting watered-down, subpar disappointment instead. What a shame; this location seems to be the only ChiCha location that's like this. I will not be going back, why bother coming here when I can go to literally any of the other million boba shops around the SGV for a basic decent milk tea??
