I'm giving them 5 start based on their coffee…read more I got the Seasalt Cream OG and 2 toasted brown sugar Boba milks. The coffee was amazing. My husband makes me a coffee from a phin everyday day for work and this is exactly what it taste like except the cream which elevated the coffee even more. We came back from Vietnam and the coffee in America has been subpar. This has been the only place that I would come back to consistently. Only for their coffee. My children like the Toastes Brown Sugar Boba and finished it quicker than most other places. There is a touch screen to order. I was nicely greeted when I walked in and the store was very clean with a a lot of seating. I found it odd that the middle was long and you have to walk towards the back to get your drink. But overall I'm coming back for that coffee!!!

PARKING: It's a big lot, just be careful going in and out. The intersection is bonkers…read more SEATING: Lots of seating inside for people who want to chat or just to wait around for the drinks. The ambiance was very chill. SERVICE: It was self service so there was no cashier interaction. I did have questions concerning the drinks but all the boba-ristas were busy making drinks. I also didn't want to walk the long stretch as I couldn't bring the menu with me. FOOD: I was feeling matcha and all the reviews are saying that's their best drinks. I got the sesame creme matcha latte with one of the jellys because it was free but I don't remember which. Pretty solid! Not the best matcha I've had at a boba shop but it is up there! Had a good flavor but it did feel a bit watered down imo. OVERALL: I would come back if I was in the area. I just wish that there was more communication between the boba-ristas and customers in terms of if anyone has questions but I get the lack of it due to staffing issues.

Friendly staff who helped me with questions about the drinks. They make their milk teas with non-dairy creamer, and for the latte drinks you have milk options including regular milk, lactose-free milk, soy, or oat. Wide variety of drink options and toppings. Adjustable ice (for cold drinks) and sweetness levels. The drink quality was superb. Very fresh, expertly and carefully crafted. Maximal flavor. Clean store. Small strip mall parking. I'll definitely be back!

After a couple visits there, I realize that I like the black tea latte with 50% sugar. It's very nice that changing the ice and alternative milk options do not cost extra, like many of the other special tea places. Having a reward program is a nice bonus. Looks like I found a new place to be loyal to :D

Visited Tea Habitat for my birthday and we had a lovely experience. Imen was kind enough to share…read moreher knowledge which I appreciated as someone who is passionate about sharing tea culture. I admittedly am now re-thinking about tea and temperature after our session. It's rare to find places such as this that offer a space to slow down and be intentional. I left with a profound respect for the work that Imen is doing for the tea community in sourcing and providing authentic Chinese tea/ tea ware. Thanks again for having us!

5-stars, just for the fact that you'd be very hard-pressed to find an experience like Tea Habitat…read moreanywhere else in southern California. If you're into real tea, the kind backed by thousands upon thousands of years of tradition, and craft, this is it. This is the real. Varieties that Imen (the big boss at Tea Habitat) has personally procured directly, live, from the source throughout mainland China. She basically found the best stuff on her tasting ventures, making it a pretty exclusive menu of teas that you're highly unlikely going to find anywhere else in southern California, or perhaps all of California and the entire nation. You need this. You want this. You want to have it so bad, you want to relive the lingering euphoria of getting tea drunk - green tea, white tea, oolong... from royal grade to high mountain grade, harvested from centuries old trees. If some the tea names sound a bit nasty or unappetizing, it's to deter people from stealing it; hence, you may actually pleasantly surprised by its fragrance and quality. Super suggest setting an appointment for tasting, where the choice is pretty open from the list. The more expensive grade stuff though, will cost extra for a premium tasting set. And you'll be able to taste first hand, side-by-side, why certain dishware, especially the gold-lined cups, have an impact on how much flavor carries through. Quite profound. You can easily spend around 2 hours maximizing the steep of each set of tea leaves, while chatting it up with your bestest best mates. -Logistical notes: The location isn't that apparent, from the sidewalk, walk directly south towards the residential building, past the initial businesses on the side. The storefront is on the bottom floor, in one of the units.

My husband ordered the grapefruit orange green tea, though he mentioned he wishes they had a mango option drink since mango is his favorite fruit for beverages. The shop is located in the plaza at the corner of Garfield and Main. Parking can sometimes be a bit challenging because the plaza is so popular with lots of dining and shopping options. I usually just park a little farther away and walk the extra steps. Now they just need to open a location in the South Bay!

I've noticed that some of my drinks at the other places are sometimes watered down, whereas the quality has always been consistent here. The dong ding oolong milk tea with cream and bubble is usually my go to order. Drinks here usually run on the sweeter side so I always get light sweetness. This shop is definitely my go to place for drinks whenever I'm in the area.

There's no shortage of boba spots in the SGV, but Chicha San Chen is one of the better ones to me…read more It is a bit pricey and there can be a long line, but you can avoid that by ordering online. They use this tea espresso type machine that I don't really see anywhere else, and it gives the drinks a strong, clean tea flavor which I like. Their boba is also consistently good, nice and chewy every time. It's a brand from Taiwan so you know they take their tea seriously. They also give you a cute carrier sling for your drinks which is a nice touch. They've been expanding with more locations like Arcadia/Alahambra, so they're definitely doing something right. If you haven't tried it yet, I'd say it's worth checking out.

This place popped up & doesn't close til 8 pm- cool!! There just 2 seats indoors with a "bar" table and a bench to park your behind while waiting for your drink. There's no restroom. The outdoor patio is spacious but it shares it with 2 other businesses (Dumpling Bar & Mari Vees). Staff is trite, professional, competent but not overly friendly. He made my drink as requested-iced matcha latte with oat milk, less ice, 75% sweet level, one of the best so far, nothing fancy, just good, quality matcha. I'm likely to return if ever in the area, and that's me not big on tea lol \(*0*)/

This was my second time to the sunright tea studio here in Alhambra. They are located roughly…read moreacross the street from the Costco. I've been to many other locations nearby such as the one in Saint Gabriel and Arcadia. But this is a great alternative, especially if I'm not going to be on this side of town I had mobile ordered before I got in so many drinks were ready to go. I found it funny how there were signs saying do not put your feet against the wall. If you have never been to Sunright tea studio, this is the place with amazing drinks and great options. I always have a difficult decision deciding on what to order here. Parking can go a bit dicey, but sometimes it's not too bad people sometimes are here to grab them and go, but there are a lot of other great business nearby so the parking can get tough.

There are no tables or seating at this location.

I just finished a hike in Altadena, found Callisto on Yelp, and wandered in looking for a quiet post-trail moment. Instead, I was met with such a genuine warmth that made me feel like a guest instead of a transaction. The owner herself took my afternoon in a much softer direction. I ordered the afternoon tea service and fell into my book. This is the kind of place that invites you to read, write, and decompress. My tea of choice: Yellow Brick Road with osmanthus flowers blended with Darjeeling black tea. It tasted like sweet blossoms dipped in honey. The service also comes with three mini savory toasts, a scone with mascarpone cream and marmalade, and dessert. I chose the chocolate peanut butter cupcake which sent me into a blissful chocolate haze for the rest of the day. If you crave quiet, delicious, almost healing moments, you need to come here. Wendy, thank you for taking such good care of me and inspiring me to chill out for the rest of the afternoon.

(their portion for popcorn chicken is quite big!). Good amount of seating with outlets available, so if you manage to grab a table, it's a great place to hole up for a few hours and get work done, they also have a happy hour deal that I believe is a drink and a snack for a reduced price, but don't quote me. It gets really busy once the high school gets out so lots of students at that point so snag a table before then!
