This place have so much different choices, and they had the happy hour deal for the longest time having drinks a certain price off during a certain hour. Somtimes buy one get the second one half off. The place is pretty empty generally speaking, the drinks are prepared fast, and they have their own parking lot there for easy access. Solid to go place for boba, buy maybe not quite the vibe place for hanging out and dining in kind of deal. I like their tapioca boba! read more

Cali weather is amazing all year round, but what I love most are the cool summer nights. They always bring a stillness that brings just the right amount of warmth without making you feel like you've stepped into an inferno. I got the wintermelon lemonade (sans caffeine and toppers) and it was SO refreshing. The three of us sat outside and caught up over tea and it felt like we were transported back to college where we were reminiscing about nostalgic memories, while talking about the new ones that we've made as young professionals. This location does close at 9pm and is located across the street from 85 if you're hungry for some pastries! read more

Sharetea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

I enjoy the boba at this chain. I probably come like once a week or once evry 2 weeks. As we are in the midst of a pandemic, first safety. They have stickers and signs reminding to stay 6ft apart. The staff wear masks and there is a barrier between staff and customers. Only thing is they still prefer cash so that may not be so safe with the touching of bills/exchange of germs. I usually get the QQ Happy Family milk tea without red bean. This is great. You get a combination of a variety of chewy goodness. Sometimes the tea seems more diluted but usually it's great. My go-to drink. Today I decided to try something different so got the Fresh Milk Family. Similar to the milk tea you get a few different chewy toppings in the drink but I was a tad disappoinyed that it tasted like literally milk with toppings added. I thought maybe it was going to be an ice blended milk drink but no. I suppose if you had a kid and didn't want them to have caffeine with tea this would he a good option. It just wasn't what I expected. Overall I still enjoy xoming here and would recommend. The quality of the boba is there and it's not super pricey like some other boba shops read more

I love Sharetea's mango green milk tea and have been craving it since quarantine began. They're the only place that gets the flavor and consistency right. I am also a fan of their Okinawa milk tea (and it already comes with boba!). They have pretty good, chewy boba but I'd say their mini boba is a hit or miss because there have been times when the mini boba is completely stuck and you can't separate because the mini boba has emerged to form one giant singular boba blob. I called today to order a mango green milk tea with boba and Okinawa milk tea. Picking up the order was probably one of the most confusing procedures I've seen during COVID. The sign at the door shows two lines, one for pick up and one for order, but the arrows on the floor point in one direction in a loop. I hesitantly entered through the right line to head to the register and bumped into the person finishing their order heading to pick up at the counter. The extremely loud music + the loud drink making sounds + face masks makes it very difficult to hear what the employees are saying. I could not hear a single thing the poor girl was trying to say at the register and unfortunately there was a miscommunication with my order. They were very nice and gave me the drink for free so I felt bad but I would suggest really turning down the volume of the music. The Okinawa milk tea was a little watered down but the mango green milk tea was good as always. Boba was plentiful and chewy! read more

Had a somewhat off tasting jasmine milk tea with ice cream here. I don't think the drink tasted like jasmine tea at all, and I also couldn't really tell if there was any ice cream inside of it. As a warning, they have a three percent charge for credit card, which is fine but I was told about this when the staff gestured at a poorly created, convoluted sign with a stock image of the 3% next to the printed words credit card charge, followed by some unrelated announcement. I scanned the page in confusion until the staff finally realized and just let me verbally know. And just to show that I'm not the only confused customer, a mom and son came in after me and also could not easily find what the added charge was on the sign until the staff clarified. They really need to reprint it with just words instead of a mismatch of words and pictures. I haven't been to a ShareTea since college and came here for the nostalgia, but would not be back. read more

Called ahead to make sure the place was open (you never know if a place has different hours due to COVID!) and the employee was super friendly. Sharetea in my experience has been a staple, as you can never really go wrong with anything you order from here. Easy parking near the store, and they have tape on the floor to denote social distancing. Drinks were made quickly, and they gave me hella boba (though I guess that's a good thing?) I personally prefer a cup that's 15% boba 5% ice and 80% drink, but hey, every store has their own golden standard. They also have mini boba which I highly recommend. Their boba was good, chewy but a bit bland. Paid in cash, as they charge a small percentage if you pay with card. A bit inconvenient, especially as places are leaning towards card transactions during this pandemic (so I'm less likely to carry cash). read more

Sharetea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

This was my first trip to the Arcadia location of Sharetea. There used to be one close to my house in Saint Gabriel but then it shut down a while ago. I happened to be in town and decided to stop in since it's been a hot minute since I've had any Sharetea. It's a very small store and currently they are not allowing any dine in and it's only take out. I ordered a QQ happy family drink. They have tape on the ground to tell you where to stand and wait for the flow of the store. Some of the decor was kind of weird where it's all masking tape but now things are peeling off and some of the signs on the door are pixely and almost kind of not great. There's room for improvement for sure. I'm sure it looked fine at the start but it's just in bad shape now. I was able to get street parking right outside the store. That might not be the case for everyone I believe they do have parking in the back. I would come back for the nostalgia element of things if I'm ever back in the area but I don't think I'd come out of my way to visit the store. read more

Way to go, 'Sharetea' of Arcadia. Let's keep up the great work you guys are making here in my new work town. Lovin' this 'Sharetea' branch too due to convenient location, super friendly staff and their stamp card program. I'm here quite a bit, but I don't usually get the boba topping because I switched to pudding topping. It's been delicious with the pudding topping on top of my Oo-Long-Milk-Tea. Driving back there now right after completing this review. In fact, I'm all about supporting local biz in Arcadia. Will try a diff tea drink today. Their tea flavors are super strong and boba always chewy. Not to mention the pudding topping-Thats topnotch!!!! read more

Unfortunately, I had high hopes for this place but it was a big flopped for me. Got the Taro Milk Tea and it tasted like water with a tint of purple. Boba did have a nice chew but the drink was just a waste in my opinion. The store was also hotter than the outside which threw me off big time and outside was 88 degrees... read more

I had the Okinawa milk tea with brown sugar boba and was thoroughly disappointed. The boba pearls really degraded my drink. Their boba had all the qualities i dislike, being so bland and soft. Boba should compliment the milk tea, but it was a complete detractor. The milk tea was tasty, at 75% sweetness. If their boba here is inconsistent, the route to go may be to order sans boba. read more

We were in the mood for boba after having Easter lunch so my daughter found this place on yelp. Small parking lot in the back so we had a little bit of a wait. It's a little small inside the shop as well. A little noisy because quite a few people inside and the music is a little loud. Very little seating outside of the shop. SO MANY choices!! Many sounded yummy. Way to hard to pick one. I ended up getting something with coffee and boba which I loved. My daughter picked a Hawaiian drink for my mom which was way to sweet so she decided to keep that for herself and instead gave her ginger flavored tea which I need to get next time. The amount of ginger and the taste was FABULOUS!! A must try if you love ginger in your drink. The other drink that was purchased was the taro which tasted good as well. Restroom was clean. read more

One of my new fave places for boba!!!! I always order the classic black milk tea with mini boba. The service is really nice here and they do tend to get pretty busy, especially on weekends so parking can be a hassle since the lot is kind of small. Drinks I DID NOT like here -Fresh black milk tea: tasted kind of burnt so my friend asked them to just change it to a classic bmt -Tiger milk tea: WAYYY TOO SWEET Also, there's a 5% charge for orders under $10 read more

A small and nice boba tea place!! And wow!!! So many choices and so yummy!! They have small parking lot at the back. But there are plenty of street parking available too. To me the boba drink is more like a dessert for me. And I treat it this way. And I always love taro and red beans together. So today I decide to try their handmade taro with fresh milk and add red beans. And it surely didn't disappoint me. The best dessert for summer!! It tastes like those red bean ice drink in the HK Cafe. But remember to opt out for 1/2 sweet cause every ingredient is sweet in the drink. read more

Stopped by Sharetea because I was too lazy to drive all the way to Jin in Old Town Pas. I went with the Earl Grey milk tea (posted on a poster and not officially on the menu). It was solid earl grey milk tea! Good tea-forward flavor with a nice fresh creaminess. I did slightly enjoy my friend's Okinawa (Roasted Brown Sugar) MT more. Also, it's a little bit more unique. I don't think i've seen Okinawa MT elsewhere. My mini boba was clumpy for some reason though! That's a first. Small parking lot so I can see this getting a bit difficult. read more

So, this place has been on our "To Go" places for a while. We finally decided to try it out. This picture is of my Matcha Green Tea Cream, ok so the flavor only has a very mild hint (if any) of Matcha. My daughter ordered the Green KitKat and she said that it tasted like cereal milk. So either the recipes are off and the person didn't know how to make them, or it's a complete fail. I don't recommend it at all. read more

Other than that I am a fan! read more

Is it just me or is Sharetea not as great as I remembered it to be? I ordered a classic oolong milk tea, which was decent, but I definitely think they do their classic black milk teas better. My boyfriend ordered a whole lemon black tea (50% sugar) and it was extremely sour. I'm not sure if leaving it at regular sweetness makes it any better but I wouldn't recommend this drink. The interior is a bit cramped but there's a small parking lot in the back with around 15 spots (this is a must-have for someone like me who still doesn't know how to parallel park lol). read more

Just comparing this Sharetea location to the one in Irvine, and I gotta say that the Irvine location was superior in terms of customer service and taste. I bought three drinks for me and my kids and I am in no hurry to come back. The service was fast but not at all friendly, it was almost like a robot was taking my order. The black tea here was straight up awful. It was very weak and not refreshing at all. Stick to the milk teas. read more

Type of venue: Chain boba shop Venue Access: Good, has designated parking lot adjacent to the building; not super narrow; well lit; easy access to major street (Duarte) Time of day good for: Afternoon/evening Wait time: Usually order online and pick up, order has always been ready when arriving (5-10 minute gap between placing order and picking up). When ordering in-house takes about the same time. Never seen this location super crowded or behind on orders. Service: Good What was ordered: Mango green milk tea with grass jelly. Does it taste good: Yes. The coffee milk tea is good as well. Their fruit teas are excellent. Any grievance: No Price/Performance: Average Did I get a stomachache after eating here?: No Would revisit?: Yes, get the boba here about once a week or once every two weeks. Experience is consistent. Additional Notes: Frequently has BOGO (buy one get one) deals but not all the time. read more

We came here during their soft opening. There were no specials when I went. You can adjust the sweetness and ice level. There are different toppings to add to your drinks. ::Drinks:: First, you order, they give you a number, and when your drink is ready, they call out your number. We got the Passion Fruit, Orange A, Grapefruit Tea #11and Matcha Red Bean Milk Tea #37. The Passion Fruit was tangy. I thought Matcha Red Bean was milky; it lacked the matcha flavor. ::Customer Service:: There was a lot of employees! They were all energetic and happy. I was surprised our drinks took long, given that it wasn't busy. The Owners/Managers were also present. They were welcoming the customers too. ::M's Notes:: -Inside seating -Parking lot read more

This was the first time I've been to this Sharetea or a Sharetea in general for a long time. The person at the counter was very helpful in explain all of the drinks such as what each drink is made up of, walking through the sweetness level, the different toppings, and what drinks are popular. I ordered a Mango Peach tea with Aiyu Jelly. One of the things I asked the employee was what was Aiyu Jelly. He goes through a pretty lengthy discussion. The first time they made the drink, it was made wrong. I asked for no ice and I literally got a cup full of ice. They take it back and I wait a few minutes and they bring out another one without the ice. However while waiting (literally one minute later) they bring out a happy hour sign. Happy Hour apparently started at 4 PM and I literally bought my drink 4 minutes too soon. The employee did not mention this, and it's not really that advertised. This made me have feel like I had buyers remorse. The drink itself was just okay. My girlfriend ordered a winter melon milk tea at 30% sweetness and it was really sweet still. I would be surprised at what 100% sweetness would be like. My drink itself felt like it lacked something. The atmosphere isn't bad, it feels clean but it's really small. It's not a good place to really hang out as there's not many tables or seating area. The parking lot can probably accommodate more cars than customers though. read more

I'm a boba fanatic. I've been to many other boba shops in the area, but Sharetea is the best by far. I've been coming here for almost two years now. My favorite drink is the Classic Green Milk Tea with boba, 30% sweet and less ice. It's legit the best thing ever. The tea is not too strong which I love, and they use creamer so it's dairy free! I've yet to try a better tasting green milk tea. The owner is always very warm and welcoming, he very clearly cares about his clients. All around this is a great shop and I totally recommend it if you're a boba lover like myself. read more

The first time I visited Sharetea was at their Jurupa Valley location. I probably should do a review for that location, too. Anyway, I've been visiting their Arcadia location since I'm normally in that area almost every weekend. Please take note, their frequent drink card (buy 10 get 1 free) doesn't apply to all locations... only selective locations per card. My favorite Sharetea drink is their QQ Happy Family Milk Tea. Love all the toppings that come with it! Of course, I always add the Aiyu Jelly on top of it with regular sweetness and no ice... delicious and tasty! I have tried their Peach Kiwi Tea with Aiyu Jelly which is good, too. I was slightly disappointed with their Strawberry Ice Blended with Lychee Jelly & Ice Cream because it was a tad too sweet and heavy for me... I guess I could have asked for less sugar. Also, there was one occasion that I felt their QQ Happy Family Milk Tea fell short in the sweetness when I asked for regular sweetness... not sure what went wrong that one time... hence, I knocked down 1 star. Consistency is very important to me when it comes to taste and flavors. Other than those 3 drinks, I haven't tried any others... maybe I'll venture on new flavors next time. The staff seems nice and pleasant. The service is normally pretty quick. The only downside to the Arcadia location is the parking... I feel it's kind of tight in my opinion. But hey, we're just there for a short visit so I guess it's okay. It's marvelous to have a boba place like Sharetea in route of food restaurants that I normally visit on the weekends. Thanks Sharetea for doing business in Arcadia! read more

I am very disappointed in Jason who would not honor my 2 completed rewards card. I had almost a third one completed. I haven't been in recently to use it since I was busy with finals, so I wasn't notified.. This is totally horrible customer service and by mistreating loyal customers like myself, I will never come back. I am so disappointed with Jason, because I always chatted with him and thought he treated loyal customers very well. In fact with so many new boba shops, I have been coming back because I was loyal. Why have a rewards card if you will not honor the customers' loyalty? I feel so betrayed. You could have not issued new cards, but instead you are choosing to cancel all your loyal customers instantly. Horrible and unkind, obviously I am not alone in feeling this way. read more

If you are one of those affected by the recent "gift card" fiasco, please do report to the California Consumer Affairs, the Dept of Justice, and BBB. Let your consumer voice be heard! The store effectively by pass the regular GC regulations by charging cash-only and issuing "fully stamped loyalty card" (that can redeem for drinks) in lieu of a "gift card." This is a questionable practice to begin with and now the store's refusal to accept and honor these GC is seriously impacting customers who have purchased the cards (thinking these would have been protected following the guidelines for gift cards, which should never have an expiration date). There are customers who have purchased upwards of $200 of these GC which is not a small amount of money. (Info directly referenced from the customers) The store owner needs to step up and resolve the issue and NOT leaving consumers high and dry, out of luck, and out of money. read more

One of my top go-to places for boba drinks! There are some drinks that are off the menu so if you want to try something different, ask the staff for other options. So far I've tried their oreo and mango ice blended, their Kiwi Fruit tea, and Canary (off the menu). Drinks that come with topping can be substituted with another one. I love their lychee jelly. I suggest you request for less sugar for the fruity drinks. Drop by their happy hours to get a discount on your second drink order. Friendly and helpful customer service! Drinks unfortunately come in only one size, but it is not a big deal. I can't wait to come back to try more drinks! read more

Thank you for your response. While I agree with the sentiment that changes will always make someone unhappy and that the change is made for the better, the point is that not letting your customers and patrons utilize what they have left (I.e. the stamp cards) is doing a huge disservice to them. The stamp cards are already given out and collected. Why not let them use it up until the cards are out of circulation? There is nothing gained from rejecting these stamp cards as the stamp cards have already been made and processed from materials and are already used. By throwing them away AND not getting the free drinks I accumulated certainly does not help anybody. It is not the change that made the people upset, it is not letting your patrons use and finish the stamp cards that they already have. read more

I'm usually hesitant to write a review for chain stores, as there are frankly not many nuances left undiscovered for this successful tea franchise with hundreds of locations worldwide. But I was more than content about my recent trips to this sleek and new corner store in a new mini-strip mall on Durate. I arrived about 15 minutes before closing, but I was energetically greeted with a happy and enthusiastic tone of welcoming remarks by an older, affable cashier who was more than pleasantly excited to talk about the various different teas in stock at the store. Sharetea has a slightly crafted image of carrying high-quality tea leaves and selected ingredients from Taiwan, and the cashier's summary firmly reinforces that impression. As such, I tried to stay clear of the overtly fancy drinks and opted for the simpler BREWED TEA and MILK TEA options. The CLASSIC PEARL MILK TEA is always the comfortable and safe bet here, but if you're feeling stuffing your stomach with sizable lots of toppings, then take a chance with the QQ HAPPY FAMILY MILK TEA! The service was fast and delivered our drinks within minutes. This modern- and minimalist-designed shop serves better for an easygoing hangout than a study session, as this place isn't noticeably equipped with accessible outlets. This squeaky clean location opens late with convenient parking in the back lot, and the attractive happy hour here grants you buy one get one 50% off during the lunch and after-work/school time slots!

As a boba tea expert, I'm gonna see how good their bobas. Let us begin! Sharetea is a taiwanese franchise boba shop established in 1992. They offer milk teas, fruit tea and smoothie shakes. This location is in Arcadia along E. Duarte street was small and has limited space. Indoor was neat and organized. Atmosphere was chill and inviting. Sharetea offers a wide variety of milf tea boba. I have gone to copious boba shops but never been to Sharetea. Their boba items were interesting because they preselected the items that can have bobas/jellies. So not everything on their menu items can have boba pearl such as their Lime Mojito special or any item in that category. Hence, I was taken aback and was deeply disappointed (one star deduction). I ended up ordering their Kiwi fruit tea with boba pearl instead of the Mojito. Kiwi fruit tea was blended with lemon juice and kiwi. It was fresh and fruity flavor; and it's boba pearl was chewy, soft warm just the way it should be. Level of sweetness was okay at 35% (lowest). Prices were fair, affordable and competitive. Staff was nice and amiable. Service was outstanding and fast. Back parking lot is huge. Overall, I enjoyed my fruit tea boba and had a good order experience. I'll definitely come back and try other items. read more

Rude and cocky service. They charge a 3% credit card free. When I tried to pay with a 100 bill, they refused my cash and insisted on charging the fee. Manager tied to shame me by saying " it's only 30 cents". Well if it's only 30 cents, why don't you waive the fee? Needless to say, lost a customer for life. I won't go to any other franchisees. read more

Sharetea is one of the many boba spots in Arcadia. Despite COVID, they were pretty busy. I came a little before noon, lucky no line, the line after me was at least 5 people. Small side parking lot, easy to miss. Inside set up is pretty cramped, you order and wait outside for your name to be called. Pearl Milk Tea - $4.50 - Warm fresh boba. Milk tea was good at quarter sugar. Coffee Milk Tea w/ Boba - $4.25 + $.75 - Good coffee milk tea blend. 0 sugar was still a little to sweet for me. Would be 4 stars but who charges $.75 for boba. That's a crazy price for a basic automatic topping. read more
