This little tea spot is located at the Montebello mall. IMO I thought the menu was a bit confusing and there was too many things on the menu. I couldn't even find the area for the toppings so we opted to get no toppings. I ended up getting a lychee fusion with less sweet. Less sweet is still very sweet so we definitely should've asked for like zero additional sugar. The drink itself was okay, it was refreshing and flavors were good. It's a okay spot if you need a drink at the mall.
![Thai tea was good :]](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/TPJ5gZ0sdm3t1-qBydu6ig/258s.jpg "Thai tea was good :]")
Went here on a Saturday afternoon, 2pm. We ordered the thai tea and the coconut smoothie with boba for me and my daughter. Ambience is nice though the place is a lil small. Lady in cashier was friendly. But OMG the coconut smoothie was so good, it wasnt too sweet but nor was not that sweet, it was just right and I would buy again. For my daughter's thai tea it was good and i reccomend. Overall I reccomend this place and i would come again. :D
Located upstairs next to Macy's, I went to this milk tea place simply because it was conveniently where I needed to make it a return and I was really thirsty. I ordered two items with no expectations and came out pleasantly surprised, mostly by how kind the owner lady is. The drinks are pretty standard. I ordered a jasmine green tea slush and a mocha cappuccino shake. Both were refreshing, but there was nothing too extraordinary about them. Just the right amount of ice and sweetness, and my tea slush was nice and strong. As for the lady owner, she handed me the drinks kindly and later, gave me a half-filled cup of hot water to help warm my baby's milk. For a mall joint, I didn't have high expectations, but based on the owner lady alone, I would be inclined to visit again if I'm in the area and thirsty.
Located right outside of Macy's inside the Montebello Mall. Prinkipia has an extensive menu of drinks. It took some time to make a decision on what I wanted to try out. When I went at the time it opened, there was only one person handling the cashier duties in addition to making the drinks. Hopefully he had someone else to help him out later on because even with a few orders, it really adds up.
I really hate to leave a low review considering how much I love Prinkipia. Service: -The young girl who took our order was nice until we didnt select "tip" on the screen. She then just quickly walked away silently and in annoyance. We were going to tip cash lol. -Drinks came out pretty quickly it took a good 1-2 minutes! We came on a Sunday and the wait wasn't so bad. Drinks: -Brown sugar milk tea (left) was okay, pretty watery not too strong in tea flavor and very light tasting of brown sugar. Horchata frappe (right) was very disappointing. It tasted nothing like horchata. Very very disappointed because I love horchata! I just tasted a very strong caffeine flavor. It tasted as if there was no horchata added !! ): -The boba is soft and not so chewy, and doesnt have a flavor like other bubble tea shops such as Honey or Brown sugar. Aside from this experience I recommend going to Prinkipia because they have a large variety of drinks! Juices, Smoothies, Fruit teas, coffee, and so much more. This is my goto for boba everytime I am at Montebello mall. Besides the experience from this day I LOVE prinkipia.. their boba on other days, their customer service, and drinks are always spot on. Ive had two cereal milkshakes before and theyre outstanding. Their smoothies are so so good and their fruit teas are so flavorful.
Came shopping at the mall and ran into this cute coffee/boba shop. I wish I have this near my home! My friends and I ordered El Chile, 2 Elotes (one regular and one spicy Cheetos), 1 Thai milk tea, 1 Taro milk tea, 1 Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake, few macarons. I have never had elotes nor El chile, but they are sooooo good! My favorite was the hot Cheetos elote. I can eat this everyday. Lol It's overall very clean and the staff are very nice. I wish this was closer to my home, so I can bring my kids! I would definitely stop by again when I am in the area.
Very nice place to get a drink. There is a variety to choose from. The employees are polite and professional. Very chill place.
This little boba shop is soo cute! It's right next to Macy's on the second floor. The decor is bright and fun, while you can see them making your drinks. The cups are something I never seen before because it's basically short and wide with white graffiti decor on the cups. They have macaroons and cookies along with a huge variety of boba drinks. - taro milk tea with mango popping boba: first off, I love taro. Once I had this drink I fell in love! I wanted another as soon as I took my first sip! The taro isn't too sweet and it was mixed very well so don't taste any powder. I loved the mango boba because I hate regular boba because I feel like I'm eating my drink and not just enjoying it...too lazy. It was a burst of mango along with my sweet taro. Soo good! You get to choose if you want boba or not. Besides typical boba and jelly variety, they had mango, green tea, and coffeee popping boba. Which is basically liquid balls that burst in your mouth along with your drink. I absolutely love this shop and wish there was one where I lived. The people who work here work very hard and no one in this area seem to be nice to them as they were ordering or waiting on their drink. Not cool. I just gave a dollar and the guy on the register was so happy, like he never saw a tip before. Always tip especially when you can see the people who serve you is working hard.
Wow! The cereal milkshake is a game changer!! This little boba shop perfectly located at The Shops at Montebello not only has your typical boba milk teas (taro, coconut, regular milk tea) it also has sandwiches, bottle water, bags of chips, & elote. My favorite thing on the menu are the cereal milkshake. We ordered the Captain Crunch one and was not disappointed. My only regret is not ordering a large. I cant wait to go back and try to Trix and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. 10/10 would recommend!
Not very impressed. Have to say this was my first visit and I was disappointed by the quality and poor selection. I asked for a few options and turns out they were out of the things I initially wanted. Strange for them to be out of certain ingredients on a Saturday morning. I did eventually get a caramel milk tea with honey boba. The boba did not taste anything like honey and was a bit chewy for me. I don't expect much from a shopping mall boba shop and this experience is why I will continue to have low expectations.
Nice little snack spot inside Montebello Town Center. Boba here is great! They sell sandwiches, macarons, and other drinks too. But if you're here, come on, you gotta try the boba drinks. Plenty of flavors, sizes, and smiles from the employees. The vibe here is nice. They have a couple of seats but you're inside a mall, enjoy your walk while window shopping and sipping on your happy stuff. Prices are fair for the sizing of their cups. We enjoy this spot when we are here in Montebello.

The menu options offered enough variety to suit different preferences. The Boba is delish! Staff were very polite and attentive. Orders were taken promptly, and wait time were reasonable. The ambiance was very clean and comfortable. Overall I'm pleased with the good combination. I'll definitely come back to try their food! read more

Order: Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba (70% sweetness) The shop is nice with a lot of seats and nice wall decorations, made drinks quick, and clean. Drink: (3/5) I don't really have anything to say about my drink but it was just average. I guess I just always have very high expectations for new shops I've never been to since I drink tea every day. Boba was cooked perfectly (Thanks for giving me ALOT of boba! :D). The milk tea was just average to me. Service: (4/5) easy to order with the cashier guy, and lady who gave me my drink was really nice :) Price: (4/5) it cost $4.98 including tax for a Regular size jasmine mt w boba. It's not that expensive. This is normal for a regular-sized drink w toppings at other tea shops. This shop will probably go up to a 4 once I try out more of the options they have and desserts that are offered :D This place is decent if you're looking for a quick stop for a drink or snack while shopping! read more

I was shopping at the mall last month and to my surprise I found this little tea shop at the corner of the mall, I had to try it! I got a few macaroons and a green tea w/ sea salt cream on top....LOVED IT! I had to go back while I was on a recent shopping trip!! This time I tried the iced Caramel green tea w/ sea salt on top, it's a perfect drink! It's not overly sweetened but satisfies both my thirst and sweet tooth. I will be visiting again soon read more

This is located on the second floor of the mall outside of Macys. Friendly service. Reasonable price for mall store front. They do have an espresso machine for those who care about coffee. Iced black coffee was good. Iced vanilla latte was okay. I'm glad it wasn't overly sweet or milky like most places. I would come back to try their other drinks. read more

This place is just okay. I bought the split cup hoping to get a shake on one side and a tea or smoothie on the other as advertised on the banner. Well the worker said they don't put shakes or smoothies in them even though the banner has a picture of it! She shrugged her shoulders and said it shouldn't have it there cause they don't do it. Sigh, I was thristy so I just bought the split milk tea and thai tea with boba. It was $7 and the cups were mainly ice with okay tasting tea. I won't go there again. read more
