    Milk tea with boba
    Sydni K.

    I got the regular milk tea with boba 50% sweet, and this hit the spot! I liked how the milk and sugar wasn't overpowering the tea flavor, and the boba was the perfect chewy texture. They only have one size for their drinks, which was equivalent to a large at most other boba shops I've been. Parking in the area is a little challenging, as it's mainly street parking. We were lucky enough to get a stall right in front of the store. We placed an online order and hopped out of the car to pick it up.

    Sunright after dinner always HITS! No matter what location I go to, I can also trust that my drink will taste the same. The self-order kiosks make it very convenient to order. The drinks came out in less than 10 minutes. Mango Milk Tea w/ Agar Boba, 5/5: After the topping, the total came down to $6.75. 50% sweetness was perfect and the mango flavor was so delicious. No other boba place has a drink like this, so I'm always coming back here!

    This place is almost never busy. You can go right in and out. The inside is very spacious, there are benches inside but not really great for hanging around. The service is usually pretty quick and the drinks are always made well. My family and I like to stop by here after having lunch in Pasadena! 10/10 would recommend this location

    Been here a few times whenever I'm in the Pasadena area and this place never disappoints. I've had multiple things and their options are so good, the boba bouncy not hard, and you can adjust sweetness as needed. You order on a screen so you really don't have much interaction with staff. Not a place to sit and hang around but doesn't bother me as it's right in the middle of Colorado street so taking it to walk around is very enjoyable

    Oreo Brûlée

    I normally get a matcha whenever I get boba, but this place had a popular Oreo Brûlée so I tried it. It's very good. Service is quick, and you order at a kiosk.

    Easy to order and wide selection of tea, boba, smoothies. Everyone will have something to choose from.

    Sunright is a MUST after dinner. Especially after we eat something hot or it's a hot day.

    I've been able to enjoy coming here a few times when visiting Old Town Pasadena. It's funny how it integrates so well at times you can easily slip by. But similar to a wizard's tent in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the insides are much bigger than the exterior showcases. Inside, the height of the ceilings give an openness to the space. Indeed, no tables or chairs are inside. Instead, a long bench runs from one end of the wall to the counter. Across it are the touchscreens utilized for ordering your drinks. As the menu isn't massive in selections it means you can enjoy the pretty pictures and possible fruity drinks associated with them. In fact, the whole color scheme of this place falls in line with the sun: yellows and oranges. The drinks also run the gamut of sweetness. When ordering a drink it gives you the option of how sweet you want it to be. If you like very sweet drinks keep it at 100%. If you like yours somewhat sweet, the 50%-75% is probably best. If you like it sweet, but not too sweet than 25% is your jam. I'm a big fan of mango and they use a sweet puree style for their slushes and though their mango jasmine tea might not have mango bits, at 100% you are tasting the sweetest mango there ever was slapping you across the mouth with intensity. There are several different places to grab drinks and walk around Colorado Blvd in Old Town but I think few are quite as easy and affordable than Sunright Tea Studio. So grab yourself a sweet tea, fall into the California sunset, and enjoy your stroll through Old Town.

    We make a trip to old town Pasadena to grab drinks from Sunright Tea and Food from Mama Lu's Dumpling House. Parking is a pain there, but once you get parking figured out then it is easy. We walk along Colorado street and follow the shop. The place was filled with people waiting for drinks. Thank goodness for online orders, we placed ours. The shop was clean and welcoming, but not one staff member to be seen. OMG, I did not see the sign ring for service. HAHAHA! I dinged and then someone came out from the back. I told them my order and pow he was back with it. Their signature fruit tea is made with four seasons tea, freshly squeezed orange juice, passionfruit and served with lemon & orange slices was so so good.

    What's up: We were at the Apple Store nearby and wanted to grab some boba. We were walking and saw that Sunright was nearby and decided to go there. Parking: We parked at the De Lacey parking structure. It's $1 for the first 2 hours but they also have free EV charging if you are able to grab a spot. Environment: The place was bright and well lit. You can place your order at the self serve kiosks located on the right wall; the menu is displayed overhead. When ready, pick up your drinks at the main counter; they will call your name. There's also a small corner area for merch. Along the left wall, there's a sitting area. What was ordered: - Matcha Oolong Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Boba (extremely watered down. The only taste was from the boba) Yay/Nay/Meh: Meh. I was disappointed. The drink didn't have much flavor and the only saving grace was the boba. My brother got a coffee and his tasted great. I think I was just unlucky. Credit cards and Apple Pay accepted.

    Panda milk tea
    Siao Z.

    Very amazing drink! Boba not comparable to wushiiland but still amazing! One of my top list for boba places. The panda milk tea is delicious. I had it half sugar and everything was perfect. Would definitely buy again when I'm not on a diet.

    Is it a good place to study?

    No indoor seating to casually study from. I would say its a great place to grab a quick drink and head over to a local library or park nearby! Hope this helps.

    Are you guys on any delivery apps?

    Hi John, yes we are currently on Uber Eats and will soon be on DoorDash. We also do not mark up prices for delivery, they are the same as in store. You can also order online for quick in-store pickup at the link below. Thanks!… Read more

    Can we bring our own tumblers/cups?

    Unfortunately due to Covid we are not able to accept outside cups or containers at this time, thank you for your understanding.

They are located in Mills Alley in Pasadena just look for the bright red sign and signage promoting some flavors. We came by after having dinner. The staff greeted us as we walked in. It was empty when we initially arrived then more customers filtered in shortly after. Staff allowed to sample their unique flavor options. **To note, they offer a few vegan flavors for those with dietary restrictions**. Always a huge plus and positive! The flavors are middle eastern inspired and the details are all listed. My wife and I sampled 2 flavors and we both enjoyed our selections. The flavors are memorable. We happily decided on the Sesame Halve (vegan) & Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell (+$1.00) for myself. The presentation is one of a kind! The topping with the tiny little rose is a nice aesthetic and definitely their trademark. The location offers retro and colorful style seating for 10+ customers if I had to guess . Patio seats are also offered outside. Also, OG Pac-Man arcades are available inside. My wife loved her Sesame Halva and my Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell totally reminded me of a Dubai Chocolate type of vibe with each bite! The whole first time visit was positive and would make me want to come by again to try something else! Presentation on point! Flavors on point! Vibes good! Tummies happy! Come by and just try!

When we arrived, we were the only two there for a few minutes until more people came. We were greeted right away. We walked down a ramp that led us to their selections. It's a decent-sized shop with a few tables. Each table had a rose in a vase attached via velcro so you don't have to worry about tipping them over. The shop is also nicely decorated with wall art. It's been a few days since then and we can't stop thinking about coming back. They serve unique Middle-Eastern flavored ice cream. I ordered the Sesame Halva which is their vegan ice cream made of Halva ice cream with sesame & coconut. OMG, I've never tasted anything like this before. I love anything that has a sesame profile. If you like that nutty, sweet, and earthy flavor this one is for you. I could taste the coconut, but it wasn't overpowering. There were also little chunks of halva in there that added a slight bit of sweetness. The texture was similar to cookie dough, but softer. Aside from the taste, I loved the simple presentation of the small rose on top of the scoop. It made it look elegant. As you can tell, I am definitely coming back and highly recommend stopping by.

We had to circle the area a few times to find street parking. It would be nice if they had a designated parking lot in addition to street parking because some of the businesses around there had that. There was seating inside despite the store being pretty small, so my bf and I just ate inside. The cakes were pretty good! I got the Matcha Yuzu and he got the Kinako Chestnut. I couldn't really taste the yuzu until I tried only the first layer of cream. The matcha overpowers the yuzu a lot because there was two layers of matcha cream and one layer of matcha cake. Still really good and can taste that the matcha is high quality! As for the kinako chestnut, we couldn't taste the chestnut much but there were some chestnut pieces hidden in the cake!

I wish there was a bit more seasoning or maybe something more than just egg in the egg salad-- it just felt like a lot of cream and egg. Also, the size of the sandwich felt a little small for $11. The space itself is alright, and staff were friendly! Parking was a bit hard to find, and I had to circle the block to get a spot a few minute walk away on the street. I'd consider coming back to try a warm sandwich or a latte, but I probably wouldn't get the egg salad sandwich again!
