Inside has plenty of seating

Moo tea is a good option if you are shopping at 168 or CVS, or dining at one of the restaurants in this plaza. Parking is plentiful. I haven't been to moo tea in a really long time. I was craving boba and was already getting groceries at 168 market. I ordered the Jasmine milk tea with boba. The staff member asked me if I wanted regular boba or brown sugar boba. I was confused why there is even 2 options. Most places just have brown sugar as their default. Does that mean the regular boba isn't sweeter? I didn't want to find out what regular meant so I opted for brown sugar boba. I would say overall the drink was 7/10 for me.

Not too many places now a days where you can get a good boba tea for under $5. Located in the CVS shopping center on the corner of New Avenue and Valley Blvd. Plenty of parking in the shopping center. Most of the teas are $4 then $0.50 per topping. Nice clean store order at the kiosk.

Got the purple yam drink. It was alright & I thought it was a little on the sweet side. However the hubby loved it. The boba is soft and ofc, extra pudding topping to make it more special. The color looks very dark/deep, so I wonder if they added extra coloring.

I chose this spot because it had the highest ratings in a 2-3 block radius, but I was unfortunately disappointed. Despite being short-staffed--with only one person handling both orders and prep--the drink turnover was okay. Usually, high volume means fresh pearls, but unfortunately this was the hardest boba I've had in years. Maybe the brown sugar boba is better, but the regular boba definitely missed the mark.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and ordered at the kiosk. I had an ube brown sugar boba and taro milk and my friend had the purple yam cheese smoothie. There were a few customers ahead of us and the drinks took about 10 minutes to come out. There are 7 tables in this shop and they had a backdrop to take pics which was cute. While the drinks had a vibrant purple color, the taste was very mild. There was only a very faint taro taste in my drink and the bobas were slightly hard. My friend also felt the same about her drink. Maybe the taste of the drinks were affected because we both ordered our drinks 50% sweet. Not sure, but we were a tad disappointed. This shop is in the same parking lot as 168 so there is plenty of parking.

I got the Moo fruit tea and figured there's no way this can taste bad right? Unfortunately, it tastes like there's soap in there. Not sure if it's the tea that enhanced that soapy taste mixed in with fruits. Also, there was sooooo much fruits and jelly in there. It was like eating a meal rather than having a drink lol I was reading reviews after and maybe I should've got the purple yam drink to try. Sounds like that was a customer fave. Might come back to try it, might not. Prices were pretty low compared to a lot of other spots. The store was pretty spacious with seating all around. Plenty parking available in the plaza shared with stores like cvs.

Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea, $4.75 prior to tax

Moo Tea is located in the same plaza as 168 Market (that used to be Von's a very long time ago) with plenty of parking. My husband and I were looking to get some tea in the area, which led us here. Based on the prices on the menu, I was surprised to find a tea house in SGV that still has prices under $5 (prior to tax) around. When we came in this past Saturday, around 2:10 pm, we were greeted by the one employee behind the counter. After looking at the menu, we ended up ordering: Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea, $4.75 prior to tax- I decided to get this milk tea drink and to have it made with 50% sweetener and no ice. I thought the drink was pretty good. It was smooth and the tea was nice. Honeydew Milk Tea, $4.50 prior to tax- My husband ordered this drink to be made with 50% sweetener and no ice like me. He liked his drink (I didn't try any). -------------------------------- (Total= $10.20 after tax) We were the only ones inside when we ordered and when we left. It took a little less than 10 minutes for both our drinks to be made. While we waited, I used the restroom. The single restroom was clean and also I liked the color of the walls painted inside. Overall, this tea house is pretty good and definitely will be coming back in the near future. I will mention that as another fellow Yelp member had mentioned, you can smell a very strong smell upon entering the store. I don't know if it is just brewed tea but it was a bitter smell and very heavy in the air.

Purple Yam Fresh Milk with Boba and Pudding
Cindy C.

I've always encountered good customer service whenever I come here. The staff is helpful to answer all my questions and preferences. The place is spacious and part of a plaza parking lot so there's always seats. I like their music choices here.

Purple Yam Fresh Milk with Cheese Foam
Jonnie N.

I ordered the signature Purple Yam Milk Tea with Cheese Foam with 25% sweetness and no ice. However, due to the type of the drink, it can't be done with no ice but the staff was very accommodating by going as easy on the ice as possible. The ube was very creamy and you can feel the rusty chunky throughout the entire drink, which is how I actually prefer over the smooth texture most boba places go for nowadays. The sweetness level was perfect, complimenting the natural light sweetness and creaminess of ube; and the cheese foam added a nice touch of savoriness to the entire drink. The staff also made a cute heart shape on the drink

Great value boba drinks. A standard milk tea is less than $5. Cheaper than a lot of the expensive boba places but the drink quality is better than at most places. One of the few places that still sells boba for only $0.50. I came here because I love purple yam (ube) and not many places make ube drinks. There's always taro drinks, but almost never ube. Having tried two of their purple yam drinks, I think it's just okay, namely because the purple yam didn't have much flavor. I prefer the more concentrated earthy flavors found in ube lattes, and this wasn't quite like it. It's basically fresh milk with starchy ube lining the cup. Their #1 best seller is the Purple Yam Milk Tea with Cheese Foam, but I found the cheese foam to be way too salty for my liking. I prefer the Purple Yam Milk Tea with Pudding and Boba. Boba was good, it had a slight sweetness and was pretty springy, and I liked the milk they used. I'm glad I found this place for its value and quality, but I haven't quite found the right drink that makes me want to add to my boba rotation.

Purple Yam Milk
Stella L.

Love their Purple Yam Milk! Seriously can't find any place that serves it better much less serve it period.

Purple yam fresh milk
Jessica N.

My drink was 99% fresh milk and the smallest amount of yam. Not busy at all on a Saturday afternoon. Wouldn't recommend.

Purple Yam Fresh Milk
Adam K.

My love for the purple yam fresh milk here knows no end. Outside of Hong Kong boba stores, this place serves the freshest and best purple yam fresh milk in the SGV. Nothing beats a healthy amount of freshly pureed purple yam with refreshing fresh milk mixed together to make a perfectly (and naturally) sweet drink. I usually order my purple yam fresh milk at 25% sweetness with less ice and no toppings, just to enjoy the fullness of the purple yam. It's usually never crowded here, so you won't have to wait for long. This place also serves as a very nice quiet study spot, so if you're looking for that in the area you've come to the right place!

Every time I come here, the experience gets worse and worse. The drinks started off good but over…read moretime they start serving you crap. The workers don't care and it seems like there's no management here either. Sometimes they take away the kiosk. Why take it away and force me to interact with their extremely rude employees who always act like they don't want to be there? This is not a single experience. More than half the times I go here someone is rude. The boba are either softened to mush or are hard. They're either out of boba, out of straws, or out of lids. There are so many boba places in the SGV I don't see why I need to give this place more chances when I'm spending $8 on a drink with 15% preselected tip option just to deal with an employee that acts like you're interrupting their free time.

So, had to wait longer than usual. I usually get 25% for sweetness level. It tasted pretty good/to our palate for most drinks. The only drink I thought could have used more than 25% sugar would be the Tiramisu Special Boba Milk Tea. DRINKS: Watermelon Cheese Slush 5/5 25% sugar. Our favorite so far Burnt Caramel Cheese Milk Tea 4.5/5 25% sugar is plenty sweet. Tiramisu Special Boba Milk Tea 4.25/5 25% sugar. I think 50% sugar would have been better. Didn't really taste the tiramisu part. Pistachio Coconut Velvet 4.25/5 Fairly good. Interesting, but in a good way. Mango Cheese Slush 4.25/5 Not bad Passionfruit Super Fruit Tea (L) 4.25/5 Fairly happy with it. Decent tea with fruits. Mango Pomelo Sago 4/5 A lot of people seem to really like this drink, even at other boba tea shops. Tried it here, it was okay for me. Drinkable, not a stand out. Again, it's personal preference. I see a lot of folks ordering this drink here and elsewhere. Osmanthus Rice Milk Tea 4/5 Alright. Nothing special. Super Watermelon 3.9/5 Watermelon juice & green tea with Water Chestnut Popping Boba. Wanted to like it, but it was okay. Drinkable, but not stellar. Jasmine Tea Latte 3/5 Bf said it was milky. Sounded like it tasted light.

So unfortunate that this boba shop is closing down very soon. I have been visiting ever since it…read morefirst opened and really like some of the drinks here. The coconut ice cream milk tea is a unique and delicious drink. Another standout drink is the matcha frostie with creme brulee. I have never had a bad drink from this place. The menu here is very huge, maybe even too huge. There are so many drinks you could possibly order, ranging from milk teas to fruit teas to slushies to coffees and a lot more. I think it would be better if they focused on a smaller menu with some really good specialty drinks. Nevertheless, I will miss this boba shop.

I ordered the Pandan Milk Drink ($5.99 - 50% Sweetness - Regular Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba…read more(additional 80 cents). It arrived sugary with a strong vanilla, nut flavor. Unfortunately, the Brown Sugar Boba tasted funky. Some pearls had the flavor of soap. "Gross!!" I arrived at YOTEA (Rosemead) on Monday (around 12:16PM). Parking is simple if familiar with the area. There's a rear parking garage for customers. Staff is unmemorable and awkward. When I mentioned they mixed old and new menus together which displayed incorrect prices, Staff seemed amused and let them stay mixed. Staff avoided customer interaction whenever possible. The drink took two minutes and 10 seconds. Quick time. The Pandan Milk Drink ($5.99 - 50% Sweetness - Regular Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba (additional 80 cents) tasted artificial. It had a strong "candy milk taste," and it glowed a neon green when stirred. The first sip was pleasant, but as I continued to drink, the taste became more off-putting. Next, the Brown Sugar Boba tasted inconsistent. Some tasted perfectly fine, but others had the flavor of dishwater and gloop. I was tempted to throw it into the garbage can. Concerning ambiance, YOTEA (Rosemead) has potential. Ignoring the cobweb underneath one table & the somewhat old furniture, there's utility. This location has about 10 electrical outlets. Wow! There's also customer internet with password; the internet information is taped onto the black register. There's also a customer gender neutral restroom. YOTEA (Rosemead) is also very spacious. The ceiling is very tall, and there's many spots to sit. There's about 16 tables!! If desperate for a study/work spot, this is a decent choice. There's also upbeat, smooth music. Overall, I had a disappointing experience at YOTEA (Rosemead). There's utility and potential, but this business feels old and unmaintained. Rather than clean, Staff just chattered amongst themselves. Any passion that rang within these walls dissipated a long time ago. Currently, YOTEA (Rosemead) is simply mediocre. 2.9 out of 5

The Hojicha Pudding in the Iron Buddha Oolong Milk Tea is a solid standard. But the Ube Taro Mochi Green Milk Tea?! HELLOOOO. Hella yum! I got both at 30% sweet and 50% ice, and I'm so glad I did because it balanced the pudding and that rich ube taro mochi paste perfectly. I fear full sweetness might be a little much, but I'm an old Asian who believes desserts should be "not too sweet." Lololol Service was friendly, the shop is cute, and I loved the cute lighting and tea wall. I live about an hour away and I would genuinely consider making the drive back JUST for this tea!

I might come back for other teas but I'm not sure how to order anything from here. I ordered the hojicha latte but it doesn't look like the photo
