    It was a hot day, so I was looking for something to cool off with and decided to stop here. It was pretty small on the inside, although they do have a bit of seating available within the inside. It also felt very modern since you order everything through one of the screen kiosks. I ended up ordering the Mango Dragonfruit Tea. It was definitely on the sweeter side... The cup holder add-on was also really cute lol

    Peach Dream & Super Fruit Tea
    Jonnie N.

    The Super Fruit Tea is bright and refreshing, with a tangy tropical flavor layered over a smooth tea base that keeps it crisp and balanced. The Peachy Dream lives up to its name -- creamy, sweet, and distinctly peach-forward with a soft, mellow finish. Both drinks stand out in their own way, each bringing a unique flavor profile that makes them easy to enjoy depending on your mood.

    Friday night with my daughter turned into an impromptu quest for liquid joy and we struck boba gold at Prolece Tea. First impressions? Spotless as a surgeon's scalpel and staff friendlier than your grandma after two glasses of rosè. Now, instead of talking to a human (ew, feelings), we ordered via a sleek self-serve kiosk, like a tech-savvy tea ninja. We dove into a Strawberry Matcha Fusion (basically a love story between a berry and a samurai) and a Strawberry Dragonfruit Tea, which sounds like something a fruit wizard concocted. Both were so good they made our taste buds throw a tiny party!! Final verdict? We slurped our way to satisfaction and walked out feeling like we just aced hydration. Great place, hghly recommend if you're in the area and your soul needs fruity refreshment with a side of vibe!!

    Was in this area last month and after dinner we were looking to settle somewhere for drinks. This place is located in the busy restaurant area of old pasadena but there's a parking structure around the corner to park. Place is small and you'll have to order from the kiosks - they have 2. I've never seen so many choices for drinks. Once you pic one there's choices for ice, milk etc you get what I'm saying Either way the 4 of us ended up with drinks that we liked. You can also choose how sweet you want it to be so mine was just right. Takes a bit of time for it to be ready but we were seated so we had time to catch up.

    Waxberry Tea(多肉杨梅)
    Peter D.

    My dad wanted to try the waxberry drink for his birthday, and wanted to try the large size. To our surprise, the drink had plenty of liquid content and berries on the bottom. I don't think any of us would try this flavor again, but it was not the boba shop's fault. The service is self-serve and my drink came out in 5 minutes. There's no indoor seating/bathrooms, so be sure to look for other spots to enjoy your drink outside of the shop

    Blueberry fruit smoothie
    Francisco M.

    I've been here a few times now. I do appreciate that they have kiosks! The drinks have always arrived quick. The staff are fine. The inside is cozy with few seating. Definitely a hangout for small groups or just a friend. I've only had drinks to-go. The strawberry matcha is delicious. But this time I got the blueberry smoothie. It was perfect for a hot day. The sweetness levels have always been just right. I'd definitely recommend this location. There's loads of drinks option and I still want to try more!

    A small boba store serving drinks and small fried snacks. Jasmine milk tea with almond milk -- 3/5, I got 75% sweetness, but still too sweet. I could have gone with 50%. The milk tea is a rage, feels on the thinner side probably because I got almond mil. I thought the popping water chestnut topping would be fun to try since I like water chestnuts, but I really did not like the taste. Oolong milk tea with oat milk -- 2/5, the oat milk and oolong tea don't go well together here. It's a more roasted flavor, but just not that great.

    I love the drinks and food options at prolece tea. I especially love that they showcase the loose leaf teas they use in a display window. The interior is small so there isn't too much seating, but it's not usually packed. This place is usually an order your drinks and go. There are machines to order drinks so you don't actually interact with anyone until they call your name for your order. The staff is available to answer any questions, but not easy to get their attention since they are behind the counter working.

    Passion Fruit Tea - pretty good
    Aurora L.

    3 stars mainly because of how grimy it is. There's a noticeable layer of dirt under the benches, and every time I've accidentally dropped something, it's hard not to feel grossed out. The lack of cleanliness makes the space feel unsanitary and takes away from the overall experience. However, the staff are friendly and always happy to help, which I really appreciate. The passionfruit green tea is pretty good. You can opt for pulp or not--just keep in mind it's quite tart and full of seeds, so I'd suggest adding extra sweetness to balance it out.

    Anthony G.

    Solid boba spot. Always consistent with their taste and craft. Notbing too crazy but will definitely satisfy. I always end up here when im around the area. Quick speedy service and small but quiet and calm interior.

    Tori R.

    Alady made me the most amazing boba ever like ever ever i knew this place was good for that one other time but wow! I added green tea and leche jelly to the leche bliss and i am in bliss beautiful presentation

    Amy L.

    Came because I saw tiramisu drink with a lady finger in it but I guess it was a seasonal item. Got the pumpkin one instead and it was pretty good but I like things sweet. For others I would recommend getting it half sweet. They don't really have a parking lot but you can probably find street parking or one of those garages.

    (HOT) Chamomile (Decaffeinated Tea)
    RJ T.

    I got their chamomile tea late at night since we were looking for a café to work for a little bit. I was a bit shocked and disappointed that they didn't have Wi-Fi access for their customers. So if you're looking for a café to work at even though they're open late, this is probably not it unless you're just having a conversation.

I once asked the owner about it and he claimed that they do in fact give out items, and said he would check on it that night when I told him the situation. But he never actually asked my name and info, and I've still never received any points since, despite having ordered here about twice a week for the past several weeks. It's not a deal breaker but it's strange.

I wondered if the drinks were contaminated. It's also mixed with the aroma of tea brewing so it's really unpleasant. I think this would've been a nice cafe to chill at with friends, but I'd be embarrassed to invite friends here, knowing it has a bad odor. In the future, I might consider finding another cafe with a similar drink, even though I do really like theirs. I typically like sitting in cafes for a bit, but not here.

And after picking up my nearly $9 coffee, there was no "thank you," no "have a great day," not even a polite nod of acknowledgment. Just me, my Americano, and the realization that I apparently just paid luxury pricing for a very average coffee experience. The coffee was good. The storefront is cute. The seating is nice.
