Mango Coconut Dream
Michelle B.

Came for the viral mango coconut drink. I liked that you can adjust the sweetness. The sago and mochi were cooked well, chewy and not overcooked. Good amount of fresh mango chunks, it didn't taste frozen. The mango flavor on the mango slush part could have been stronger, it tasted watered down. $8.30 for the drink so it's pricey. Overall it was good but the Heytea mango coconut boom is still superior

Drink menu

The food is good. The service is perfect. The ambiance is excellent. Amada is a hard working server and barista.

One of the OG tea shops in SGV and it's pretty hidden in a massive plaza. The plaza it resides in nowadays is not too busy, you'll often find tons of parking where Tastea is in the back. Their menu is huge and you could take a long time to even get through the entire thing. I recommend their matchas as one of their signature drinks. Staff here is great, they're very friendly and quick as well. My partner and my orders were out swiftly as we visited to get their BOGO on National Ice Tea Day. Portions are huge which was a shocker to me even though I've seen the cups before. Very refreshing although it's the ice tea tasted bitter for some parts. Overall, decent drinks, and definitely a spot you can visit if you want variety of drinks.

Jasmine milk tea with green bobas
Christina H.

First time here. Caught my attention with the Grade A by the window. I got the Jasmine milk tea 20oz with green bobas. Bobas taste fresh and soft. You can actually taste the tea. It's located in the plaza where 99 ranch market is at. The store is next to MPO eyecare optometry. Plenty of parking. The store isn't very big. There are only 4 tables and a few seats. Overall, not bad. Service was fast and server was nice. There are board games if you decide to sit down and chill.

As an update, they don't take orders over the phone for pick up. Only come in to place the order or app orders only.

Had the Taro Fantasy and it was a Fantasy indeed. It took me to a place I've never been before and it was Delicious! I love Taro so much that I guess you can say that I'm kind of addicted to it lol. Plenty of parking spaces in the Plaza area here. Plenty of drink choices and flavors to try. Would highly recommend this place to all who is searching for a "Tastea" drink. Service was very good here. They pretty much helped me on things to try but I just wanted my Taro lol.

I really like Tastea for all their drinks and snacks. As for the drinks, they give a good amount of toppings and they have a strong tea flavor. It doesn't taste watered down at all. Tastea is 626 OG staple and I really appreciate the affordability, efficiency in receiving the items, and the fact that you can just chill at the store. There's a good amount of seating and they provide games as well. Not pictured but I do really enjoy their snacks as well. Their popcorn chicken, fries, and newest pizza rollz are delicious. They're hot and fresh and packed with so much flavor. It's perfectly crispy which makes them my favorite guilty pleasure snack to enjoy accompanied by the boba.

Thai Milk Tea

I ordered a 32 oz Thai Milk Tea but it seems like i'm missing at least an eighth of what the cup seems to be able to hold.

Wasima K.

I have been to this shop off and on, mostly when shopping at the 99 Ranch, which is adjacent. I like that the staff is very ready to answer questions about the drinks, making recommendations and making sure you enjoy what you ordered. Also a plus for me that their base creamer is non-dairy, and not with an extra charge. Most recently I tried their Vietnamese ice coffee with banana foam. My understanding is that they use fresh banana and banana pudding in the foam. It's an unexpected combination to me, but it works well. They also helped me adjust the amount of sweetness since the banana foam is sweetened. The coffee is strong and it's really nice to have fresh flavors vs. a syrup. It's a great stop for a treat.

Tiger boba
May C.

One of my favorite places to get boba. Service was fast and friendly! Clean environment! Plenty of parking spaces. So many drink choices and flavors to try. Tried most of their drinks, and they're good. Tiger boba 5/5

Rosa R.

My new favorite item to order - Peach Me Sweet Tea - love the pieces of fruit and the perfect amount of sweetness! This drink is light and refreshing! Customer Service was good!

Muddy Melons.  Forgot to take a picture before drinking it lol
Angel P.

We've been coming here for years and the drinks never disappoint. Honestly, the drink menu is sooo yummy. You have to get the Muddy Melon, it's so damn good.

The workers don't care and it seems like there's no management here either. Sometimes they take away the kiosk. Why take it away and force me to interact with their extremely rude employees who always act like they don't want to be there? This is not a single experience. More than half the times I go here someone is rude. The boba are either softened to mush or are hard. They're either out of boba, out of straws, or out of lids. There are so many boba places in the SGV I don't see why I need to give this place more chances when I'm spending $8 on a drink with 15% preselected tip option just to deal with an employee that acts like you're interrupting their free time.

So, had to wait longer than usual. I usually get 25% for sweetness level. It tasted pretty good/to our palate for most drinks.

Our favorite so far Burnt Caramel Cheese Milk Tea 4.5/5 25% sugar is plenty sweet. Tiramisu Special Boba Milk Tea 4.25/5 25% sugar. I think 50% sugar would have been better. Didn't really taste the tiramisu part. Pistachio Coconut Velvet 4.25/5 Fairly good. Interesting, but in a good way. Mango Cheese Slush 4.25/5 Not bad Passionfruit Super Fruit Tea (L) 4.25/5 Fairly happy with it. Decent tea with fruits. Mango Pomelo Sago 4/5 A lot of people seem to really like this drink, even at other boba tea shops. Tried it here, it was okay for me. Drinkable, not a stand out. Again, it's personal preference. I see a lot of folks ordering this drink here and elsewhere. Osmanthus Rice Milk Tea 4/5 Alright. Nothing special. Super Watermelon 3.9/5 Watermelon juice & green tea with Water Chestnut Popping Boba. Wanted to like it, but it was okay. Drinkable, but not stellar. Jasmine Tea Latte 3/5 Bf said it was milky. Sounded like it tasted light.

So unfortunate that this boba shop is closing down very soon. I have been visiting ever since it…read morefirst opened and really like some of the drinks here. The coconut ice cream milk tea is a unique and delicious drink. Another standout drink is the matcha frostie with creme brulee. I have never had a bad drink from this place. The menu here is very huge, maybe even too huge. There are so many drinks you could possibly order, ranging from milk teas to fruit teas to slushies to coffees and a lot more. I think it would be better if they focused on a smaller menu with some really good specialty drinks. Nevertheless, I will miss this boba shop.

I ordered the Pandan Milk Drink ($5.99 - 50% Sweetness - Regular Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba…read more(additional 80 cents). It arrived sugary with a strong vanilla, nut flavor. Unfortunately, the Brown Sugar Boba tasted funky. Some pearls had the flavor of soap. "Gross!!" I arrived at YOTEA (Rosemead) on Monday (around 12:16PM). Parking is simple if familiar with the area. There's a rear parking garage for customers. Staff is unmemorable and awkward. When I mentioned they mixed old and new menus together which displayed incorrect prices, Staff seemed amused and let them stay mixed. Staff avoided customer interaction whenever possible. The drink took two minutes and 10 seconds. Quick time. The Pandan Milk Drink ($5.99 - 50% Sweetness - Regular Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba (additional 80 cents) tasted artificial. It had a strong "candy milk taste," and it glowed a neon green when stirred. The first sip was pleasant, but as I continued to drink, the taste became more off-putting. Next, the Brown Sugar Boba tasted inconsistent. Some tasted perfectly fine, but others had the flavor of dishwater and gloop. I was tempted to throw it into the garbage can. Concerning ambiance, YOTEA (Rosemead) has potential. Ignoring the cobweb underneath one table & the somewhat old furniture, there's utility. This location has about 10 electrical outlets. Wow! There's also customer internet with password; the internet information is taped onto the black register. There's also a customer gender neutral restroom. YOTEA (Rosemead) is also very spacious. The ceiling is very tall, and there's many spots to sit. There's about 16 tables!! If desperate for a study/work spot, this is a decent choice. There's also upbeat, smooth music. Overall, I had a disappointing experience at YOTEA (Rosemead). There's utility and potential, but this business feels old and unmaintained. Rather than clean, Staff just chattered amongst themselves. Any passion that rang within these walls dissipated a long time ago. Currently, YOTEA (Rosemead) is simply mediocre. 2.9 out of 5

My husband wanted to try the coffee milk tea, so I ordered that separately. All the drinks were good, and the tea was nice and strong. It definitely kept me caffeinated all day! I adjusted the sugar levels to 30% for all the drinks, and it was perfect for me. This month's seasonal drinks featured spooky options made with activated charcoal. I was pleasantly surprised by how good they were! The only downside is the limited parking. The shop is located in a small plaza, and two other businesses have reserved parking spots. I ended up parking next door in the beauty school's lot. There's also street parking along Valley and Walnut Grove, but both streets get pretty busy.

However, Moncha Cafe was a major disappointment, because I have never seen such an inefficient kitchen staff! We ordered an event combo (teriyaki chicken rice bowl, French fries, and strawberry tea) and an extra event drink (jasmine tea with brown sugar boba). It took about 10 minutes to get the drinks. The teas were flavorless. We couldn't taste the strawberry at all. The jasmine tea came with jelly in it instead of brown sugar boba. Then we waited for the rest of our food. 10 minutes... nothing. Another 10 minutes... nothing. Then another 10 minutes and another... There were at least 5 staff members working in the kitchen. I could see them chatting and laughing through the curtain, with only one or two staff occasionally running in and out to take orders and serve food. 50 minutes passed and we still didn't get our food. The couple sitting at the table next to us came in after us, had already finished their food, and left. I went to a staff member and asked what happened to our food. She told me they "are working on it" and that I needed to wait another 5-10 minutes. 10 minutes passed and we finally got our teriyaki chicken rice bowl, but there were no French fries. I had to talk to another staff member about the fries, and she claimed they were "working on it." It took them another 20 minutes to deliver the fries. Even if the cook had to peel and slice the potatoes fresh, it shouldn't take that long. The rice was not cooked properly. You can see in the picture that some of the rice was stuck together, not from excessive sauce -- some of the grains were still hard inside. The teriyaki chicken was as hard as beef jerky! The fork was bent and we couldn't pick up the meat. At that point we were running late for our next event, so we just left in a hurry. Needless to say, I regret tipping when I placed the order. I loved the event, but I will not be visiting the cafe anytime soon!
