A cute little boba shop. They have the option of getting Sakura boba which is new to me. We ordered the midnight jasmine milk tea with sakura boba which reminds me of the Vietnamese dessert che thai. The limeade jasmine green tea with sakura boba has mild tea taste. They had good service. read more

Cute spot to either get together with friends or study. I've come here on multiple occasions to get some work done because the ambience is great. Low noise level with r&b music playing, spacious seats and tables, and great food and drinks provided. Addressing previous reviews about food, I haven't had any issues as of late. Fries were crispy and soft inside, same with the fish. Parking lot is a tad small, but I haven't had issues finding a spot. Mind the curb while pulling in. Seems like a one-man shop at the moment, but he does an excellent job managing the place. I can definitely see this spot picking up in the future, bring your friends! 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

Moncha Cafe - Iced Matcha latte, Ice Assam Black Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rosemead, California

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

Overall great study and hangout spot! The service is very fast and the people working there are also super friendly (literally can ask them anything!) The food amazing too, my favorite would be the popcorn chicken and the assorted fried fish balls! (sorry was too hungry didn't take a photo ) read more

Stopped by with my friends and although the interior is nice, the food and drinks were a miss. My drink was all watery like they didn't make enough for the day and added some tap water. And don't even get my started on the food. We got the fried fish balls and popcorn chicken. Fish balls had a weird flavor to it. Popcorn chicken was dry as the desert and overcooked. The basil was also fried in the same oil as the fish balls as they tasted fishy. Disgusting 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

Loved this spot! It's comfortable, spacious, and has such a cute vibe. The atmosphere makes it easy to focus and study for long periods without feeling cramped. Definitely a great place to bring your laptop, grab a drink, and get some work done. read more

Nice cafe area but inconvenient corner parking. Still lowkey. Stick to their drink since the popcorn chicken isn't as fancy, but rather soggy in their plastic box read more

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

We ordered the Assam Black Milk Tea and Lavender Milk Tea and they were both very good! Both had good flavor, and were well worth the price! This place had board games, making it perfect for a hangout spot or even just studying. They also had very good service, and the manager was very kind. 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

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

This place is really spacious. I saw a few people working on their laptops, so I assume there's free Wi-Fi. ​The Midnight Jasmine Milk Tea was pretty good--I'd give it 4 stars. The flavor was really unique, and getting it at 25% sweetness was perfect. They didn't have regular boba, though, and I'm not a huge fan of the agar boba since I prefer the chewiness of the traditional kind. ​The 3-star rating is for the popcorn chicken. It lacked that classic flavor most of us are used to, and if you're looking for that distinct basil taste, you can forget about it. It was also definitely on the salty side. 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

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

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

Good Chicken and tea! I came 10mins before closing and he reheated the fryer! Really cool and friendly owner too, definitely worth going. Prices are good, honestly the vibes inside are perfect for studying or a hangout spot. read more

Moncha Cafe - Popcorn chicken(salt and pepper) and iced oolong tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rosemead, California

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

My first experience with this place was a bad one. My wife was craving popcorn chicken and Mr Dragon was closed today. We searched on yelp and found this place recently opened. The pics of the popcorn chicken looked good, promising. I called in to place a pick up order and thats where the problems started. A guy answered the phone and said "Hello?" He sounded unsure why I was calling. I answered back, Hello...?? I paused for a second and asked is this Moncha? He said yes this is. So I said can I place an order? He responded back yes is it going to be for dine in or pick up. In my head I was wondering why anyone would call to place a dine in order. Anyways I responded with pick up. I told him my order and he responded saying uhh let me check if I have enough to make that, uh yea I think we can take your order. I said okay. He responded back with okay. I was waiting for him to ask for my name, number, give me the total, tell me how long, something, but no, he just said okay and that was it. I told my wife the guy on the phone sounded new so not sure how this is going to go. She was really craving popcorn chicken so she didn't want to get something else. She drove over there to go get it and the guy said it would be 20 min. She decided to go pick our daughter up and then head back. It was a little over 20 min when she got back and she had waited another 5 or so minutes. She asked the guy how long would it be and he said it'll be min. The oil is still heating up. My wife responded to just cancel the order because it seemed like it was going to take longer then expected. He then responded saying it has only been 15 min when since she left which was wrong. Overall bad first impression of this place. They need to train better or hire more people because he was by himself and didn't know how to run the place. This happened today 07/07/26 around lunch time. 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

Been loving this place. Went last weekend to study because of their late hours and might've found my new study spot. I used to go to Meet Tea but it's further from where I live. The place is clean, they offer unique drinks, and so much variety in flavors for their snacks! They have garlic parm, honey butter, BBQ, old bay and more. Meet Tea fries can't compare! The owner is really sweet as well. Gave us free snacks while we were studying. They do a nice job explaining everything that's on the menu. New place that deserves your support! ALLAT FREE SAUCE IN THIS ECONOMY ?!?! 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

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

Terrible service. Not welcoming ambiance. Drink was nasty. Had no flavor! Waste of money! Never going again !

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! They also have a small selection of food which is extremely delicious. Owner is very welcoming and interactive with his customers which makes it all more the better! read more

This place is my new study spot. Their drinks are solid and if you are trying to study for hours, they have food if you get hungry! I got the Midnight Flower tea, and it was super tasty. It's perfect sweetness for me. So far, I have tried their fries and chicken, both of which I really enjoyed. I like how the fries not only have multiple seasoning options, but they're really thick. I hate flimsy fries. For their popcorn chicken, they're fried really well, and they come with three sauces. Personally, I am a huge Old Bay fan, so I got it with that seasoning. Another huge plus is the prices for the food. For $6, I got a big box of chicken. Some other things to note for my studious people, they have outlets and extension cords if you can't reach. I really recommend this place! read more
