The drinks were pretty good compared to the other well established boba stores around the area. The employees were nice and accommodating. They were super helpful, but it may have been since they weren't as busy when I went. This is a great place to study or hang with friends! read more

Moncha Cafe - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rosemead, California

Moncha Cafe is such a hidden gem! I've been meaning to stop by as it's so close to me and finally had the chance to. I got their iced ube latte with agar boba and it was refreshing. The latte was a good balance between the ube and coffee and was a nice caffeine fix. I also got an order of popcorn chicken which was delicious. It's fresh, great portion and they actually cook it with basil leaves which a lot of places stopped doing. The inside is very clean and spacious and a great space to do some work in or chill with friends. My only wish would be to have actual boba available as I believe they only offer the agar version. Parking can also be tricky. read more

Came in here solo today and also met a fellow Content Creator! I met the owner Chu. Really great guy! This is a nice quiet place to enjoy snacks and drinks. I ordered an Ube Iced Latté and 6 egg rolls with sweet chili sauce to enjoy inside here. For the road, I got a Jasmine Green Milk Tea with cherry boba and garlic parmesian popcorn chicken. Everything tasted so good! Come check them out! I will definitely come back here when in the area!!! read more

Delicious drinks and a great overall experience. The boba was excellent--well-balanced flavors and very fresh. Parking was easy with plenty of available spaces, which is always a plus. They also offer free games for guests, making it a fun spot to hang out rather than just grab a drink and leave. The best part, though, is the customer service. The guy helping us today was extremely friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. You can tell they care about their customers. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

Moncha Cafe - Brand new game. And of course, we already done with our drinks lol - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rosemead, California

Moncha Cafe - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rosemead, California

I tried Moncha two days before their Grand Opening! I came across it because it was listed as Hot & New on Yelp! There wasn't anyone in the location when we entered. We ordered on the kiosk. The ambiance is really nice as it is well lit and there are tables with a lamp. I went in and automatically fell in love. It's welcoming and you can also study there. There isn't many boba places that offer that anymore, so I appreciate that. We ordered a Jasmine Milk Tea with light ice. The tea was great it wasn't too milky. You can taste the tea and it isn't too bitter or strong! read more

I stopped by Moncha because I always have to check out all the new boba shops in San Gabriel Valley! I tried the jasmine milk tea 50% sweet and my partner tried the midnight green tea, 25% sweet. The midnight jasmine green tea is really unique because they use a blue Peruvian corn, which I've never seen anywhere else before! The service was great, and there's plenty of seating! This would make a great event space or meet up for larger groups. The only downside is the parking lot is only one way, so you have to enter using a specific entrance to enter. read more

Moncha Cafe - Jasmine Green Milk Tea and Midnight Jasmine Green Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rosemead, California

Very cute lil boba shop located on the corner of Walnut Grove Ave. & Valley Blvd., across from McDonalds's. The parking lot it's very small, but it's never busy here. Stopped by twice, once during their soft opening and second time after their grand opening. First time we ordered the Iced Jasmine Green Tea with Sakura Boba & Arnold Palmer. Second time we ordered the Midnight Jasmine Milk Tea & Ube Latte with Sakura Boba. All the drinks are really good. Good cup size and affordable prices. Both times we ordered the self-kiosks. Very quick and nice service. read more

This is a great hangout spot. Drinks are well made and on the cheaper side. The interior could do with a redesign, as it feels a bit empty inside, especially in the daytime. I do recommend trying this place. Food: 4.5/5 Price: 5/5 Experience: 5/5 read more

Soo happy we stumbled upon this place. Visited twice in the last two weeks already! Great place for studying with plentiful seating, comfy chairs, free WiFi, and even outlets for charging. They don't make places like this anymore! The drinks were so pretty and tasty too! We got strawberry limeade, jasmine green milk tea with sakura boba, jasmine green tea with lychee jelly, and oolong milk tea with agar boba (all drinks customized with less sugar). Everyone loved their order and we were able to enjoy without feeling too guilty about choices since their bobas are healthier alternatives. Last time we went, we also got a tasty order of fries, though we were eyeing their other snack foods as well. The owner was an incredibly nice, knowledgeable guy that obviously pours his heart into this little cafe. We will definitely be back! read more

Solid boba, couches to sit around. We didn't order any snacks, but overall a good experience with reasonable prices.

Was hoping this shopping center would get a boba spot, so glad it finally happened! Has its own "in one way" parking lot. Has a good amount of seating area. Drink menu has good selections. Server was kind and helped with drink option questions. Drinks were great! Will definitely stop by again! read more

Love this spot! The matcha latte with sakura boba is delicious. My mother really liked the their cold brew coffee. The owner quickly made our delicious drinks and personally ensured we were satisfied. The space is large, open and bright with tons of outlets, perfect for studying or working. It's open late and even hosts community events. This is our new favorite spot. Highly recommend! read more

Only one note about the parking lot, don't follow the arrow. 3-4 weeks ago, I made a deadly mistake following the arrow and it popped my tire. Based on previous review, that person claim she popped her tires too and it happen to many other people. The manager said he brought it up to city council too. I think the reason why people popped their tire is because they followed the arrow. A lot of people followed the arrow base on the skid marks on the curb. I think the safe way is to go maybe little bit further than the arrow line then turn into the parking lot. That is my theory on how to not pop your tires when entering the parking lot. You can always park on Valley Blvd too to avoid the whole parking lot too. Other than the parking lot, I think moncha cafe have lots of good vibe, and very kind staff. I appreciate the staff and their service. They make really good boba. I normally get the oolong milk tea. read more

Their drinks are actually pretty good. Had the Midnight Jasmine Green Tea & Iced Ice Assam Black Tea are both tasty. The Soft Opening Promotion makes it even better. Thanks to fellow Yelpers - got 20% off drinks and a free Iced Assam Black Tea. DRINKS: Midnight Jasmine Green Tea 4.5/5 Iced Ice Assam Black Tea (rt) 4.25/5 Citrus Emerald Oolong w/ Osmanthus Jelly 3/5 Went back and tried another drink. Unfortunately, the Citrus Emerald Oolong w/ Osmanthus Jelly add-on is not my cup of tea. It was rather mediocre imo. Won't be ordering that one again. At least service was fairly good both times. Plenty of seating and adequate parking. Enter parking lot from Valley Blvd. read more

Cute little cafe. The owner was very welcoming and accomdating with our large party. He moved the tables and chairs around so we can all sit together. He overheard that I didn't want to have caffeine as it was already after dinner and made great recommendations. My husband and I both got a version of the flower tea. It was really good. Some of my friends ordered fries. My toddler enjoyed it. read more

Absolutely love this place! First time coming with my sister and I his little gem has all the quality in service, food and ambiance. The owner Khesayc was so kind and personable.

We came for the caffeine, the Matcha Latte with Sakura Boba was so delicious, and I'll definitely stay for the exceptional experience we had. read more

Moncha Cafe - Matcha Latte with Sakura Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rosemead, California

I really wanted to like Moncha Cafe, but overall the experience was disappointing. The popcorn chicken was very dry, with some pieces oddly drenched in ranch. The fish balls had decent flavor but suffered from the same dryness issue. The rice was overcooked and low quality. The fried tofu felt unnecessary since nearly everything on the plate was already fried. Pickled vegetables or something fresh would have balanced the meal better. The drinks were poor. The mango fruit tea had no noticeable tea or mango flavor. The protein matcha was extremely bland, almost watery. I understand protein powders can be unflavored, but there was no matcha taste at all, which made me question what was actually in the drink. The fries were very boring and not good, even with the seasoning options. Service was very slow, though it looked like only 1 person was handling orders, drinks, and food. That part was honestly sad to see and not really their fault. The environment itself is cool, but many people ordered very little and stayed for a long time to study or play games. That makes it feel less like an actual place to eat. If even takeout is slow and low quality, it is hard to see how the business can sustain itself. I hope the owner reads this and works on improving food quality, drink execution, and overall efficiency. There is potential here, but right now it falls short. read more

Just found out about this place and this is definitely my new go to boba spot! The layout is welcoming and tailored for studying with multiple lounge seating as well as study hall styled tables. The soft neon lighting at night provides a soothing atmosphere for me to lock in on all my assignments. The staff were very welcoming greeting us the second we walked in! They walked us through their menu and their various teas and explained to us how they infused their teas with Peruvian flowers! The drinks here definitely beat out any other spot in the area. They don't taste artificial and syrupy. I highly recommend their Maracuya flowers tea! On top of the amazing drinks, they also serve Bento box meals with a variety of choices from pork/chicken katsu to shrimp tempura and fish fillets. Highly recommend checking out Moncha Cafe! Shout out Khesayc! read more

I found Moncha Cafe by searching matcha initially, and once I saw the decor of this place in the picture, we had to come here!! Their matcha is so good, and they unsweetened coconut milk! And it turned out that their tea and coffee are all really high quality, so it's hard to choose what to order It's very close to my school, and they have free parking and very nice atmosphere with music playing at the volume you can still hear each other! The owner is so nice and very kind to answer all my questions as well!! Their cups are so cute and anti-leak design, so this is really safe and convenient for taking it to anywhere! read more

I came across Moncha Café while driving down Valley Blvd on my way home from work. I had noticed this place under construction earlier this year and was waiting for it to open. A few days ago, I finally saw it open with plenty of people inside enjoying their drinks, so I decided to stop by and give it a try. By far, this has become my new go-to spot for tea. I drink tea daily, just like others drink coffee, and Moncha Café has two of my favorites, jasmine milk tea and oolong black tea. The quality is outstanding; you can actually taste the richness of the tea, unlike many other shops where the drinks often taste watered down. If you're looking for a quality tea shop, Moncha Café is definitely the place to check out. read more

They sell expired food. Although you can say this is hyperbole, this is the best explaination that I can describe how the food tastes. The popcorn chicken was dry, disgusting, and the fried basil leaves it came with tasted like fish. Imagine how old the fryer oil has to be for it to make the food taste that way. I was impressed how bad the fries tastes, from the cajun flavor to the unflavored fries. The fryer oil must be as old as the business itself. All the drinks are heavily watered down and the taro drink tastes bitter. The service is unremarkable ans the seats are not comfortable. I believe a change in ownership is needed. read more

Another updated review. I came again and decided to try something different. I tried Moncha's Black Assam Tea. Perfectly balanced between sweetness and tea. I usually stay with my usual but I'm glad I decided to try something different. Huge improvement with the popcorn chicken from the last time I got it. It's crispier. I also loved how there were options with having different dipping sauces. Again, service and ambiance has always been good. read more

Moncha Cafe is such a hidden gem! The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to study, work, or just relax with a drink. It's quiet, comfortable, and has that warm vibe that makes you want to stay longer than planned. What truly sets this place apart though, is the service from Khesayc. He goes above and beyond to make every visit special, taking the time to genuinely get to know his customers and their preferences. You can tell he really cares about both the people and the craft behind the drinks. The drinks are amazing, but my absolute favorite is the Brazilian Limeade. It's refreshing, perfectly balanced, and consistently delicious. If you're looking for a great cafe with fantastic drinks, outstanding service, and a comfortable atmosphere, Moncha Cafe is the place to be! read more

Friendly staff and delicious food! Moncha recently opened a few months back. In a sea of tea shops, Moncha really sets themselves apart with their unique drink offerings! The jasmine green milk tea with sakura agar is my go-to order every time I come here and never disappoints! The owner is constantly adding new items to the menu. Today, when I came in, the owner let us know that the midnight jasmine milk tea (infused with purple corn) was new to the menu. At his recommendation, I gave it a try and it may just take the crown for my favorite drink here! The food is also very good. Popcorn chicken and the fries with cheese seasoning always hit the spot when my friends and I play board games here. read more

Stopped by for the soft opening yesterday and loved it! I tried the Limeade Jasmine Green Tea and my best friend got the Midnight Jasmine Green Tea. Both were super fragrant, refreshing, and tasty. You can really tell they put care into their drinks. The space itself is super cute and clearly designed with a cozy, feminine aesthetic in mind. Lots of tables and comfy seating make it the kind of place where you can easily chill for hours, whether you're hanging out with friends, working on your laptop, or even playing games. Overall, a really relaxing spot with great drinks and great vibes. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! read more

Love this place. The ambience is super chill and study friendly. Love how quiet it is because it allows you to focus. Hard to get a table at times. Love the drink options!

Been seeing this place and we finally got a chance to try it. The interior is pretty cute, great for hanging out. Snacks are pretty good, great price and portion. We purchased the bento as well and it was ok. For double the price of the snacks, we got like half the portion with a side of rice and salad, which is pretty bad to be considered a bento. No sauce for that tiny portion of salad either. Overall, drinks are good and snacks are good. Another down side is that you end up smelling like deep fried oil if you stay too long. I'd return for the snacks and midnight limeaid. read more

Stopped by this tea shop randomly because it is new to the area. I was really impressed with this milk tea shop! The tea itself is so fragrant, you can tell right away that they use high-quality leaves. The flavor is smooth, rich, and not overly sweet, which really lets the tea shine. It's refreshing and feels more elevated than most milk teas I've tried. Definitely a new favorite spot--I'll be coming back often! read more

I've wanted to try a new place in the SGV and stumbled upon this place. You can kind of say it's a hole in the wall, and that's perfect for someone who's trying to get some work done because they have comfortable seating, great drinks, and friendly staff! I didn't know what to get and they said their most popular drink and their bread and butter was their 1, Midnight Jasmine Green Tea and they had this topping that I've not seen anywhere else called Sakura Boba. Of course, I'm familiar with Sakura, but in boba? Super innovative. It gave a nice floral accent to the tea that wasn't overbearing. So I actually don't like MOST jasmine teas because they use extracts and it ends up tasting artificially floral, but Moncha uses their own proprietary blend of Jasmine tea. I didn't get a chance but they also had a display up front of the teas they have/use. And then it's coupled up with Peruvian chicha to give it that unique and addicting taste. The chairs and tables are also very comfortable and have outlets in the walls so it's a great place to study and do work at, so if you're into that... Also, the staff are very nice and friendly and it's an establishment that seems very well trained and knowledgeable on the drinks and food they make. So if you'd like a good place to try if the others are too crowded, definitely give this place a shot. For me however, this'll be a go-to! I can't wait to go back! read more
