    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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Cheese foam jasmine green tea, mango jasmine green tea.

    The Oreo Brûlée milk tea was truly one of the best things I've ever had. I wish they had one of these in the antelope valley!

    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!… 

    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.

    "Fruit your life". I don't know what it means, but yes. Macu Tea is located in Old Town…read morePasadena, and I know they have another location in Irvine. Most of the decor here seems lost in translation from this import from Taiwan; however, they are a drink spot that specializes in boba milk teas and fruit smoothies. I got a strawberry smoothie with jellies and a salt cream foam. My wife got the same, but mango. Both of the drinks were upwards of $8. Though expensive, flavor was good and, if you like jellies, they load them up here. If I had a choice, I prefer the offerings at 3CAT in Arcadia for mango drinks; however, I think this is a great spot on a hot day in Pasadena.

    If you love mango drinks, this is your one stop tea shop…read more I came on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded. I noticed on one of the signs that they offer a 10% discount if you use an official sold MACU reusable cup and a 2% discount if you use any other reusable cup, or MACU's plastic cup from a previous visit. All of the workers were busy making drinks, so I ordered on the one kiosk they had. The shop is small and it didn't take long for them to make my drinks. My favorite drink was the Chi-Chi Mango Smoothie. It was sweet, smooth, and had mango chunks and green tea jelly. Their #1 drink - King of Mango Smoothie had grapefruit pulp, which was bitter. All of their drinks were pretty sweet. The Chi-Chi Jasmine Green Tea had a cheese foam top and tasted the least sweet of the three drinks I ordered to share.

    Off busy Colorado Blvd, one block from the Pasadena Playhouse is Home Brewed. Even on a busy (and…read morehot) Sunday afternoon, it's patio is a quiet, shady nook with soft, eclectic music playing. The coffee is first rate. The chocolate chip scone I had was crispy and wonderful. (Thank goodness they only had one left or I would have had two!) The coffees they featured on the day I was there were Maple Oat and a Sweet and Salty PB (peanut butter) Latte. If those drinks are as good as the mocha they made me, they should be great. My server, Onyx, was very friendly and welcoming -- and was a quick beverage maker. And other staff seemed nice as well. I would happily come to a show early to allow me time to visit here. (I live an hour from here, so, sadly, I won't be haunting their patio.)

    Cute little storefront, nice seating, and a perfectly good Americano... but $8.95?!…read more For $8.95, I was expecting my coffee to come with a motivational speech & a massage. Instead, I got an Americano. The ordering process is either traditional face to face or completely self-service on a touchscreen. I tried touch screen & there was literally zero human interaction--until my name was called to pick up my drink. And yet, the screen still politely asked me if I wanted to leave a tip. Tip for what exactly? My exceptional ability to operate a touchscreen? 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. But good enough to justify $8.95? Unfortunately, no.
