Service is fast (you order on mobile screens), and drinks are unique and solid. This time, I got the lemon black tea, with 50% sugar. I LOVE sour things, but just wanted to give you guys a heads up that if you don't get 100% sugar for lemon drinks, it will be very, very sour. Comparable to eating a lemon. However, the tea was high quality, and service was under 3 minutes. They've also recently updated their doors to be ADA automatic. Parking is terrible, but if you're walking through Old Town, this place is a good place to stop by. read more

A small chain, this is the first time I've visited any of the locations. It was a warm day and before heading home after shopping in Old Town we popped in. I liked the ordering kiosks and the option to do it via phone is also great. Then, they assemble the drinks and call out for people to pick up. It's vibrant and colorful inside, I didn't really explore much but there's a gift area slightly out of sight from the long bench set against the wall. I enjoyed sitting there because we were treated to a Corgy parade of sorts. Four different ones and they were cute. One guy didn't want to go back outside into the hot muggy weather and tried to anchor himself to the floor. He failed... Finally, our drinks were ready. It was busy but didn't take too long. I only wish I'd known 50% less sweetener would desaturate the flavor, but it did put the tea and fresh peaches more forward in the mix. I'd definitely reorder and trust them for full sugar next time. read more

Clean inside. Staff helpful and teas are good. We really enjoyed their drinks. I do regret buying the 5 pack milk tea boba to make at home. I followed instructions and tried to change it up to make it taste better but their boxed take home milk tea boba tastes just like ovaltine. The packaged boba itself is good, I'd probably add it to my own matcha green tea lattes at-home. The "milk tea" packaged in the box doesn't taste anything like milk tea or tea. Lol Other than that, we'd definitely come back for a drink if in the area. read more

Convenient location in Old Town right next to Cheesecake Factory. There are 2 other competing boba places nearby (3 if you count Jamba Juice but haven't tried their boba yet) but this one definitely has the most business!! There is cute decoration inside and two big screens to order from. The payment scanner is right next to the screen. Pricing was average, $5 something for one drink. It had a good amount of customers when I went in but my order didn't take too long. I got the original Sunright milk tea boba. It was delicious! I also liked that the cup had bunny decoration for lunar year! so cute! There was only seating on the side to wait for your order so it's more of a grab and go place. read more

Popular boba spot in Old Town Pasadena where you order via computer screen and pick up at the counter. You can also order ahead of time online. Look for garage parking - the school house one is $1 for the first two hours and is close by. It's hard to find metered spots in that area. I got the strawberry frostie which had some cheese mixed inside. You can customize the sweetness level (I did 75%) and add toppings for an additional cost per topping. You put your name in the order and pay via credit card; when the order is ready, they'll call out the drink. There's a waiting area to sit but you just take your drink and leave. read more

Been back several times and things have gotten a lot better in my experience much to my surprise. My drinks no longer sit in the limbo at the window waiting to get placed on the counter. My 50% sweet has been 50% sweet consistently. The cream pudding is still hit or miss, but I don't always get the toppings anyways. The peach jasmine and watermelon cooler are absolute hits and are super refreshing. Come on an off day and this makes for a very quick and very satisfying boba run. read more

Liked the option to order online since parking can be hard in the area. The order was ready quickly. I usually get regular milk tea at most places but had to try the Oreo brûlée boba milk since the pics make it look so good and saw other reviews rave about it. I got it 50% sweet and it was the right amount for me. Felt sweet at first but you gotta give it a good stir at the bottom to mix the Oreo bits. It was really good- creamy and strong Oreo flavor without it being too sweet. Didn't know about this boba shop and was surprised to find 2 locations in NorCal. Would def like to try the other drinks; if not, I'll just stick to the Oreo brûlée since it was unique and good! read more

Interesting concept. You walk in and order on a tablet. No workers in sight until they bring your order out and they are in a rush to get back in and don't know much about ingredients as it relates to allergies and there is nothing posted. It's a bright white light space with yellow neon. Solid drinks. read more

:: Drink :: I really enjoy drinks from Sunright, their Oolong Milk Tea, Matcha Oolong Milk Tea, and Jasmine Milk Tea. :: Service :: Customer service is good. There's 2 kiosks where you can order your drink so it might be convenient for some people. Last time, there was a promo code for this store only so we ordered online for in-store pick up while being in the store already and I realized when I got the text, that the bag of drinks were behind the counter for a while already. :: Parking :: Street parking or parking garages nearby. :: Restroom :: No restroom. read more

I am proud to say Sunright is my favorite spot for boba. This is coming from a boy who grew up in the 626, drinking boba for over 25 years. I personally like a sweeter boba drink over a stronger flavored tea. Gone are the days where I could tank a nom nom drink from Half and Half (aka I love my sweet but not overly sweet). I know for a fact that if you like a stronger tea flavor, you can stick with their normal milk tea or fruit tea and get less than 100% sweet. I have friends who love Chica San Chen and Ten Ren who also love Sunright. However, if you are like me who loves sweet, get 100% and most of their popular starred drinks that sounds really sweet are solid choices. I absolutely love the mango milk tea - I have gotten this twice already and somehow they always have fresh mango which is NOT always the case with boba drinks (looking at you Yifang). I've had both their frosties - strawberry and red bean/matcha and they are both delicious! read more

Hits your boba tea craving! However I didn't get boba - I got my tried and true cheese foam. Great creamy salty top to the tea! Order at the kiosk. I wanted a receipt and that dispatched to the cashier station. If you don't want to order at the kiosk there may sometimes be someone at the cashier station but they're busy fulfilling orders. read more

This was my first time to Sunright Tea Studio. Truly impressed as to how this place is designed and operates. From ordering, to paying, to getting your drink. Very cleaned and well designed tea place. I had the Mango Jasmine tea with boba added and half of sweetener. Not crazy about boba but I loved the Mango Jasmine tea. Will definitely be back. read more

The first time I tried Sunright was at the Monterey park location and the drinks were no good. Had like no flavor. I never planned to return. However, this location was offering buy one, get one so I said WHy NOT?? I m glad I decided to go because the service was great! Although the line was long but it went by pretty quick. The guy was patient, detailed and nice. The tea here was good! I got the strawberry jasmine tea w/jasmine jello. It had strawberry bits and a block of jello lol I love the jasmine jello. However, keep in mind that if you add the jello you will end up with very less tea. The mango tea was also very good. It came with mango jam. I love it! Thank you for offering bogo. Gave me the chance to give Sunright another try. I will be back to this location. read more

I happened to be in Old Pasadena for a quick return nearby and decided to come in for a drink before I head out to Koreatown to meet a friend. A few weeks ago, I was here but there was a massive queue so I went somewhere else but this time it was nearly empty except this one person before me was taking more than five minutes to order a drink. I almost left again knowing how impatient I can be these days but I waited. I ordered nothing too fancy; Grapefruit Jasmine Green Tea which is what I usually get almost everywhere else. I got it half sugar and light ice. My drink was ready in a couple minutes later. I took a sip and it was super refreshing! Although my drink was still overly sweet, it was the flavor I was looking for. I think it may be a Sunright thing. I always order half sugar and its still way too sweet. Next time I am going to try quarter sugar and see if that makes any difference. The guy at the register was nice but he didnt understand my name. When I saw my name on the drink, I was like what..? Haha it was funny. You can always order on the kiosk they have against the wall or with person at the register. They currently do not accept cash payments so strictly card only including tap. Stop by if youre in the area shopping or after lunch or dinner! read more

Went to Old Town Pasadena with the family and craving boba. This is was the nearest boba place they Google recommended. I had their Jasmine milk tea 50% sweet level with brown sugar boba. It was super refreshing and the boba was fresh. Soft and chewy. I also ordered lemon jasmine ice tea. It was at 75% sweet level. I liked it super fresh and light. It's literally like drinking an ice cold lemonade. They also have cheese foam topping and a good selection of other creamy boba and one of the popular drinks is the green matcha boba milk tea. Restaurant: bench seating and they have two kiosks machine. They also had two cashiers if you had questions and wanted to order with a life person. Parking: it's off the old town strip so you can park at the parking structure. Staff: limited but they are there if you need to ask questions for a first timer. Conclusion: highly recommended! I would definitely come back here if I'm shopping or around old town Pasadena. Quality you can taste. Come try it out !!! read more

I like Sunright because their boba is soft and chewy, their teas are strong, and the price is fair!! I would say that their drinks are on the sweeter side. I prefer to get 25% sugar for my milk teas whenever I add boba into my drink. Their strawberry matcha latte does not allow any adjustments, but it was actually perfect and I didn't find sugar adjustment to be necessary! *UberEats has BOGO for certain Sunright drinks in Pasadena right now for both Delivery and Pick Up. **I recommend ordering ahead during dinner time/weekends as it can get pretty busy! read more

Sunright is my fav boba spot and every location I've been to is consistently good. So glad they finally opened one in old town Pasadena. There were not a lot of boba shops around here. Super fast service! Ordered online and my drink was ready within 4 mins... that's so impressive! They're currently doing a 20% off for soft opening.

Staff is always nice Parking can be rough but you can find lots nearby with free 90 minutes This location has bench-like seats you can sit even tho you won't wait too long for your drink They make their drinks pretty fast This has been the most consistent boba/tea company I've been to Boba is always nice and chewy, or I'll usually get pudding because I have a hard time drinking my whole drink in a day and the pudding holds up for days in my fridge I do usually lower the sweetness level to about 25-50% because drinks are so sweet and then it's perfect Their fruit teas are refreshing and their milk teas are nice and creamy read more

The shop is relatively small but it's very clean. I parked near the park on Dayton Street which required a meter for parking. I paid two quarters, thinking I'd be waiting for around 20 minutes, then walked over to the street. I ordered in their website but you can also order on their touchscreen in the shop. The app told me that my order would be ready in around 10-15 minutes and it took me around 2 minutes to walk there. However, when I got to the shop, my drinks were ready!! Blazingly fast service, which is a welcome surprise. My two drinks were ready to go, in a bag on their counter. The drinks came out so fast and they out bags with your name on them to signify your order. 0 hassle and so quick !! Amazing service. I ordered the classic milk tea and the strawberry jasmine tea, both on their popular drinks list. Both were 100% sweetness with boba. The app is also super accessible and easy to read. The classic milk tea was a little too sweet for my taste, so I recommend toning down the sweetness if that's what you usually get. The tea flavor is quite good and the boba pearls are chewy and delicious. The cup size is quite large, too, and it's fresh, delicious boba!! If you want a good milk tea, this is definitely what you get. The strawberry jasmine tea had a really strong, authentic tea flavor! Definitely happy about this, because sometimes strawberry can be artificial or overbearing in drinks. The boba is also really chewy and fresh. The strawberry didn't taste artificial, but what stands out to me the most is the tea flavor!! 100% recommend this shop! I had a wonderful experience with the online website and ordering was quick and painless. The tea is delicious as well. I'm definitely coming back for more tea soon :) read more

Sad to see so many businesses and restaurants no longer in Pasadena, but I was ecstatic to hear that my favorite bowl of the spot is now there, nestled. Between the many shops, you'll see the bright yellow sign when I went this weekend, wonderful service and very clean. I expect nothing but the best, great drinks as always and although there's no restroom there, the barista was very helpful and telling me the nearest one, I forgot her name but she was extremely friendly and also welcoming, I definitely will return and I highly recommend to anyone in the area 10/10 recommend! If you're feeling like a milk tea, I highly recommend the pandem of tea or the salon, if you're feeling like coffee, coffee oolong is excellent, strawberry Frosty can't go wrong with that, if you're feeling like a milkshake I love how you can adjust the sweetness and ice level! I've adjusted sweetness at other spots and it's still too sweet for me, thank you sunright and there are kids menu which is awesome! read more

Came here after brunch on a hot day! You order the drinks on the screen! If you wanna get the reward points, make sure you link the credit card to your loyalty account first. The drinks were good!

I like Sunright Tea at all locations I've been to. So it's nice to have one in the middle of Old Town Pasadena. It's convenient to walk to when in town to grab a drink. I ordered a classic boba milk tea and it was good as usual, boba consistency was spot. Parking may be hard in the area on a busy night but wasn't a problem when I went. Service was quick and was easy to order on the self service screen, which may be a bit high for some customers. I would definitely go back again whenever I'm in town. read more

I came around 9:30pm on a Sunday and there essentially no line, but parking was still very difficult to find. I ordered a mango fruit tea with 75% sweetness and no ice. The drink was given to me within 5 minutes of ordering. The drink was exactly what I expected as I have ordered the same thing from multiple other sunright locations. Consistent taste and quality at this location. read more

The boba is super delicious! The drinks can definitely be on the sweet side but I love how the boba itself is consistently good and never too mushy. My favorite is the brown sugar milk drink with brown sugar boba. You can order through the touch pad which is awesome because there is nearly little to no contact with other people. It's always very speedy. The overall look is very bright, clean, and modern. Love this place! read more

I honestly do like sunright but I came by to do a quick pick-up order and found that they made my drinks overly watery and didn't do ez ice like I requested. I reached out to sunright to ask if they could remedy the situation and they said I should've done it while I was in the store (again I just wanted to do a quick pick up order so I had already left not thinking the drinks would be like that) and they gave me the runaround asking me to send receipt multiple times etc and didn't remedy the situation. Customer service was disappointing in this way even though I typically enjoy sunright--I was honestly surprised both drinks I ordered weren't up to par. read more

Drinks are super yum and inventive! I got the green tea yakult w cheese foam super yummy not too sweet (got at 100% was the perfect amount not toxic-ly sweet like a lot of places)! I tried my bfs drink too the Oreo crème brûlée: creamy yet light w chunks of Oreo! The brown sugar boba was kinda soggy so I'm glad I didn't get the boba but love the drinks! (There is the option of honey boba idk if that's soggy will try next time) read more

#73 in my Teaholic Diaries. If you haven't heard of Sunright, just where have you been?! Lol. Sunright Tea Studio is a boba chain with locations throughout SoCal, and they have been expanding FAST. Like I mentioned in my review of one of the other locations, the Sunright chain emphasizes quality tea drinks, and they offer a variety of options with that idea in mind. The different drinks I've tried at this location and at a few other locations have all been consistent in taste and quality, which is often a problem at alot of other boba chains. My current favorites are the Thai tea with creme brulee and the honey blossom milk tea, but my favorites are always shifting. Honestly most of the drinks I've tried at Sunright have been great. Anyways, this Pasadena location is spacious, clean, and well-designed with their signature bright yellow color scheme that pays tribute to their sunshine theme. I also liked how this location had two self-order kiosks on one wall and a long built-in bench for waiting customers on the opposite side, with plenty of room in between (so customers aren't jammed together). I appreciate the layout because it was clearly thought out and planned well to avoid overcrowding, unlike the tiny shoebox of a store that is the San Gabriel location. I think this location opened up around the same timeframe as the Arcadia, San Gabriel, and Monterey Park locations, but the Pasadena store is now my favorite of the four in this area because of their spacious layout. read more

Came here for dessert after getting dinner in Old Town Pasadena. I got the Oolong Brûlée Latte with Honey Boba and no sugar (which is how I always get my drinks). The honey boba was really good - sweet and chewy. As for the drink part, I honestly was not impressed. Even though I got no sugar, the tea flavor was not very present and the drink just felt very heavy. read more

By far my personal favorite boba spot in the area. There are many but this one keeps me coming back. I normally order the hot jasmine milk tea or the ice peach oolong milk tea. Everything I've ordered is delicious and tastes fresh! The service is fast and simple as they have two kiosks to order and pay at as well as the register. There's a long bench inside to wait at but no seating. Grab and go pretty much but the drinks are delicious and there's much to do in downtown Pasadena so take it for a walk! read more

I came here on a whim after having dinner in old town and loved it! Would highly recommend if you're in old town and looking for a tasty drink to sip on while you're walking along Colorado. Parking isn't easy around here so I wouldn't come to this location otherwise. The ordering process is super easy. There are soo many delicious options on the menu. They use premium matcha and quality ingredients. The Sunright milk tea has boba included at no extra cost, which I really liked. The boba is perfect. They have other toppings too. We waited only a few minutes before our drinks were ready, then we were on our way! :) There are no tables inside but since it's located right on Colorado, you'll want to take your drink to-go anyways to stroll around and shop. There are also some small tables right across the street by iPic theaters. I'd definitely come back anytime I'm in Old Pasadena! read more

I ordered the Oreo Brûlée Boba Milk! I really enjoyed this drink with the little bits of Oreo (I'm a huuuuge fan of Oreo) and the creamy-ness of the brûlée. This drink was not too sweet (normal sweetness) which is perf for me! I ordered light ice as well so my drink won't become watered down. I also tried my friends Mango Jasmine tea and it was so yummy as well! This boba shop is new and already super popular! I promise it's not overhyped :) The line was super long, so I'd suggest ordering ahead of time if you can! read more

My first time trying Sunright tea and it was a success!!! I forgot the name of my drink but it consisted of berries and I added mochi pudding. It was so delicious, I loved my drink. The mochi pudding took over the drink flavor because of how big the portion was inside my cup. My friend ordered a chocolate matcha drink. It was delicious except it was a little too much chocolate for us lol! They have self ordering screens for those who like to take their time browsing the menu! They have a variety of drink options and have so many alternatives! The place is very very clean and super welcoming. I arrived around 4:30 and it was slow for a couple minutes then the rush began. This place is busy almost all the time because of its location! any place in Old Town Pasadena will always be busy ! I recommend this location to everyone because the drinks are fantastic and there's lots to do in the area while sipping on your drink! read more

My favorite boba shop in Old Town! I come here quite often to get drinks due to the pricing of my regular drink compared to other stores. Their special drinks are a bit more on the pricier end, but those are a bit more hit or miss for me so I just stick with the peach oolong with cheese foam. Service is super fast on a day with not much people, and even on longer lined days they are still pretty quick. The store doesn't have tables, but there is a bench on the side to sit on while you wait for your drinks. Definitely not a place you can stay long term while doing homework and stuff like that, but there are other shops in Old Town that do have tables. read more

This place is amazing, as I know that because I'm kind of a boba addict if you would look on my profile, but anyways this place is just great they make it in like 4 minutes. The boba is great, it's really sweet, and tasty I like it but I'd rather go to boba time. read more

Nothing bad to say about Sunright! Literally I will try any boba place I come across and I know that Sunright has delicious drinks because there was a location in Irvine that I used to frequent since I went to University over there! The Oreo crème brûlée boba milk drink is literally my favorite and I crave it on the daily. I have no idea what they put in their crème brûlée but it is deliciously made and gets and tastes better as you progress through your drink, I really don't know how they do it! I do appreciate the touch pad ordering because sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming if you order with a person and having to pick and decide on the spot. With the electronic ordering I just personally think it is way more convenient and really gives you a description of each drink to ensure that you get to customize your treat exactly how you want it! My boyfriend put in or order as "Dobby" and we shared a cute wholesome conversation with the girl who brought out our drink (Harry Potter fans, if you know you know!) read more

The drinks are pretty good. I usually order the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba and doesn't disappoint each time I get it. The service at this location is pretty good and you should get your drink within 10 minutes but sometimes I ordered ahead of time. The atmosphere is nice and people usually sit down and wait for their drinks but there's no seating at this location.
