    Jasmine mango coconut  Osmanthus milk tea
    Milko M.

    We stopped by Molly Tea around 12:45 on a Saturday afternoon and honestly had great timing because a huge line started forming right after we ordered. Even with the rush, our drinks came out pretty quickly. We ordered the premium jasmine mango coconut tea and the osmanthus oolong milk tea with boba. I usually prefer my drinks less sweet, so I did 0% sugar on the osmanthus milk tea, although there wasn't an option to adjust the sweetness on the jasmine mango drink. The boba here is pretty small and super soft. It was more of a melt-in-your-mouth texture instead of the usual chewy consistency. The brown sugar boba did overpower the osmanthus flavor a little, but it was still a solid drink overall. Definitely think getting the drink sweetened and adding boba would have been too much sweetness. The jasmine mango coconut tea was definitely on the sweeter side, but the mango flavor was strong and the drink itself was really refreshing. Overall, a good experience and I'd definitely come back to try more drinks on the menu.

    Jasmine Oatmilk Tea

    I'm really glad Molly Tea opened up a second location with an actual parking lot. The other one in San Gabriel doesn't have much of a parking lot and it's mostly street parking. This one is a little bit smaller than the SG one but that doesn't deter away from the quality of the drinks. My go is usually the Jasmine Tea with Oat Milk. Bonus points that they don't charge extra for Oat Milk as most other places do. One thing that I wished they did was have oat milk was an option into other drinks like their jasmine apple tea. The drinks itself is one of the best for the Jasmine Oat Milk tea. The Jasmine is really fragrant and you can tell immediately that it's special on your first sip. The default of the drink is less ice and less sugar (70%), I personally wouldn't do no ice because it tastes a little different. This Molly Tea is really loud since it's a bit smaller. The doors are almost always open because it's usually packed. There is lots of seating but there aren't many tables and they are small so it's nice to sit and chat but I wouldn't treat it as a study place. Service is pretty good but it can take a while for a drink. It is faster than the SG one since that one can take like 30 mins or so. This one you can get a drink in about 15 mins or so. The parking lot has a few entrances but one of them is an exit only or enter only if you enter on Baldwin. It is shared with other businesses so it can get packed. In short -- I'm addicted to this place so easy 5 stars.

    I'm glad that they opened a location in Arcadia cuz I never wanted to wait in line in the San Gabriel location and thus I finally tried Molly Tea for the first time last week. The was no line when I went and I ordered at the kiosk a jasmine milk tea and it was pretty clean and not heavy drink. The place was clean and staff was nice. I also never drank from that type of straw before so it was interesting. Def would be back again to try their other drinks.

    What a cute spot! The space is modern, inviting, and definitely a place worth spilling the tea about! Ordering is easy through the two kiosks up front, and I liked being able to track my order status on the screen behind the counter- it made the whole process feel smooth and efficient (they also announce your number as it's ready)! I tried the Premium Jasmine Matcha and overall, enjoyed it! The jasmine flavor was strong, fragrant, and really stood out, while the milk tasted fresh and creamy. My only critique is that I personally couldn't taste much of the matcha, so I would have loved a stronger matcha presence to balance it out. There's a small parking lot in front, which is convenient, but it can get crowded quickly depending on the time of day. Overall, a super cute spot for a tea run, and I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu!

    I was really trying to see the hype here but I kinda understand it. Not something I would grab daily, but you have to try it once if you like graded tea, not super sweet drinks and their whip was fun to devour. Service was good, worker looked super nosy when I walked in and was waiting for a friend. No Wi-Fi at all. Clean environment, lots of seating !

    Pistachio White Champaca Tea
    Lys G.

    Way more chill than Alhambra!!! Loved the white champaca in this it's so fresh could drink a gallon of this. Pistachios cream was okay overall I'd give this 5 or 6/10. Good but not my favorite.

    Very happy that Molly Tea expanded to Arcadia as the SGV location is almost always congested. First impressions is that this location is a bit smaller, practically the same amount of seating in a smaller area. I'd say this one is cleaner as well. Parking is free in a moderate sized lot, maybe a bit congested as there's other popular shops around like bakeries, ramen, and other food places. Inside consist of 2 self ordering kiosks, counter ordering is available as well through staff. Drinks quality is practically the same as the SGV location, my go to drinks here can change from time to time but you can't go wrong with one of their most popular drinks: White Champaca Oolong and the Jasmine Matcha. They're both always extremely delicious, if you like floral type teas instead of your standard tea spots, Molly Tea is for you.

    Between the 2 Molly Tea stores within SGV, I prefer this Arcadia location by far. The drinks are essentially the same, but this store surpasses the other because it has better service, is more organized, and actually has a decent parking lot. My go-tos are the White Champaca Oolong Milk Tea and Premium Jasmine Matcha. These drinks are always good. I recently tried the Tongmu Lapsang Bubble Tea and was surprised by how much I liked it. The brown sugar boba had a soft texture, while the hazelnut cheese and cocoa powder mixed into the tea nicely. All the ingredients worked well together. Every time I've visited this location, the wait time was very reasonable. The only con is that all the tables and seating are small and very close to each other, so it feels very cramped inside. It is definitely not a place meant for big groups.

    Need this place to open in OC ASAP. My friends and I arrived on a Wednesday night, about 30 minutes before closing. It wasn't super busy and there was plenty of seating left. We ordered on the app and it took about 10 minutes for the drinks to be done after we arrived. I ordered the camellia matcha and it was soooo good! I love the floral taste and the matcha isn't very sweet. My friends also loved their drinks. Definitely one of my favorite boba shops in the 626. Will definitely come back!

    Jasmine Apple Milk Tea & Pistachio Jasmine Coconut
    Mary A.

    Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was definitely packed, with the line going out the door. Thankfully, the wait wasn't too bad. Ordering is through a self-service kiosk, and despite the crowd, our drinks came out super fast. We got the Jasmine Apple Milk Tea and the Pistachio Jasmine Coconut, both at 0% sweetness. Both drinks were really refreshing, and I liked that the tea flavors still came through strongly. I do wish the pistachio flavor was a bit stronger, though. There's plenty of seating and parking available, which made the busy atmosphere more manageable. Overall, definitely a spot I'd come back to if I'm in the area again.

    COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling drinks. There are no hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor seating available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my drink from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is decent, but because they share the lot with many other establishments, the lot does get full extremely quickly. Do NOT come during peak business hours. Parking spots are decent in size. Drink: I ordered the pistachio Jasmine coconut. The premium Jasmine green tea combined with coconut water was just divine. Seriously! So refreshing. In addition, having the pistachio cheese foam with real pistachios on top was just the icing on the cake. The cheese itself is so rich, creamy, and tasty. I love nutty drinks, so this is now my forever go to order at Molly Tea. Soooooo mindblowingly good! I love the taste of the pistachio with floral jasmine notes along with the coconut aroma. The perfect combo. Whoever invented this is a genius. Easily my favorite drink this year. Just an FYI, do NOT study here. It is so loud and crowded in here. You won't be able to focus. Study elsewhere. Staff: The staff here are very fast, friendly, hardworking, and kind. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

    Tongmu Lapsang Bubble Tea

    Pretty new tea spot. Original location is in San Gabriel with slightly different decor. Recently advertised BOGO on one of their teas for this month! Pros: -self serve kiosk to order is straight forward -nice staff -organized order numbers with statuses -jasmine teas are refreshing. -Jasmine whipped is light and airy. They spray it for you fresh when pick up with pecans to top off. -shared parking plaza with other businesses -cute merch -bathroom -cute decor Cons: -bobas are rubbery in texture and not good (disappointing)

    Pretty good new addition to the Molly tea family! Came here with friends on a busy Saturday afternoon and even with only 2 order kiosks our drinks came out fairly quickly . Workers are very efficient, helpful and friendly despite how hectic everything is. Packaged everything nicely and packed all the straws and stirs for us. There's seating inside and an all gender restroom but it can get quite packed, despite this, it's a relatively clean cafe. Love the aesthetics. I ordered a double chocolate hazelnut drink, 30% sweet and it was a yummy chocolate milk. Definitely would recommend getting a floral tea or standard tea for my next visit.

Many 3CAT boba places are popping up all over SoCal and I hope not to the point of saturation. It's not my go to boba place at the mall, but I'd say it's a close second. If Cha is cooked, this is a good place to default to if I don't want to travel outside of the mall or if I forgot my Wushi gift card (happens all the time now). Sometimes there's a super long line outside of this one too, not sure because of some kind of deal or just the standard crowds or short staffing. Other than that, like every other 3CAT place, not bad. They have unique drinks here and there with interesting toppings like osmanthus tea jelly, barley popping boba, soybean mousse, and much more. If you don't like your drink, they'll remake it for you and if you truly want to avoid the crowds you can order online for pick up. My go tos here are the Biscoff Jasmine, Soybean Dragon Well, and Mochi Oreo. Always less ice and less sweet to no sugar (not recommended, but some of these are dessert drinks that off set it).

Our go-to are the mango mango slush or strawberry slush half sweet no chamoy, royal milk tea with boba, and Peach green tea half sweet. Drinks are ALWAYS consistant and yummy. Even more, the boba is consistantly divine-- fresh, chewy, and sweet. Drinks come out quick even when it's busy. I'm always amazed how many drinks they can pump out quickly. The staff here are boba masters. Prices here are competitive/standard. Expect about $5/drink. They also have a stampcard program! Buy 8 and get 1 free. We frequent Hello Boba because it's nearby and good. Even if there's more unique places like half and half, 3 cats, and twinkle brown sugar. I prefer Hello Boba. They're just really good, consistant, and quick. Always hits the spot. Staff are generally friendly and greet you with a smile. There's this one swole asian dude who's that has a rbf. I don't think it's personal though, he's probably always sore from hitting the gym. I almost never get a smile from him-- it's just business. He shows his love in a through his consistant drinks. Which I can appreciate. I usually take my drinks to go. But there was one time me and my son hung out and played board games. They have a nice variety. But just like all other boba places, the games are usually really beat up from all the useage from previous customers. Very casual. The only downside is that this place is dangerous to my waistline. Overall good for everyone of all ages and different ethnic backgrounds. Special Shoutout to Tuan. When my wife or son wants boba, sometimes I forget what our go-to order is. Tuan knows our order.
