Ok... I will fully admit that their cups are a marketing gimmick... and a highly effective one at that. I was a serial boba drinker when they had the adorable workout koalas. But honestly... cute reusable workout koalas... that fit in the cup holder of my spin bike?!?! How could I not? Plus... they are super heat sensitive so it only makes sense that I get multiple.... Right??? Right?!? My only complaint was the old lids did not have a hole for the straw but these newer cups seem to have fixed that shortcoming! But they aren't just 100% gimmick. They actually use real fruit and their boba is legit. They also have really awesome flavor combinations that you cannot find elsewhere. I like that it is lighter like a tea but still fruity. If Asia had an unblended Jamba Juice tea house it would be this... but they are better.. because of cuteness.... My favorite is the lycheeberry and they generally do a good job of cutting the lychee jelly and the strawberries down to a consistent slurp able size. If you like mild and fruity flavors, give it a try! Interior space is small so expect a short wait and expect to carry out. read more

Huge fan of The Christine.... Had to come back to find this place..... Tried the matcha as well but liked the Christine more still. read more

This venue had an electronic kiosk which you can use to tailor the sweetness, ice level, and toppings like boba. I ordered a coffee milk tea which was rich and creamy but they also had a lot of tea and fruit options. You can also order your drink in a beauty cup which you can reuse because of the screw top lid. read more

This is my go-to for fruit teas! My favorite is the Christine Tea with strawberry, mango and passion fruit flavor green tea with yummy strawberry and mango bits. It comes with a cute reusable cup too. The only disappointment is that if you want boba, you have to pay extra, and they give you very little. So if you're craving a regular tea (not fruit tea) with boba, I would recommend going to half and half. They give a lot of boba, maybe 4x more than Tea Brick, but they don't have yummy fruit bits! TIP: It's right next to Arcadia High school, so if you're visiting on a weekday, avoid going between 3p-4p when the students get out, or you'll have to wait 30+ minutes for your order. read more

Placing an order over the phone saves time since making the drinks can take a few. But, with all the blending and noise over there, sometimes the employee taking my order gets it wrong... Oh well. The drinks are delicious and the packaging is too cute to toss. Instead, I wash and refused it for other home projects. read more

Pros: * Ordered a mango snow drink and it was deeeelicious. * The wide mouth bottle is very handy for its reusability. * Workers abided by COVID precautions and they had sanitizers and wore gloves. * The boba was well done - nice chew and not too hard or soft. Cons: * The boba was at the top of my drink which was really odd. I would definitely come back for my boba fix but ask them to add the boba on the bottom! :) read more

Stopped by quickly to grab a drink and snack on Sunday afternoon. I got the Yummee Peachee Lychee Drink and upgrade the cup to "Beauty" which is a reusable plastic container with decals on it. I was a little disappointed in the upgrade drink container - as it says 2021 baby shower and it's a girl. I think it was someone's leftover baby shower gift, which is a disappointment, because why would I want one? The drink itself was very good though, even thought they ran out of boba. There was lots of peach and lychee bits as well as lychee jelly and the drink was just perfect in sweetness. The popcorn chicken was pretty average. read more

3 stars for taste, 4 stars for service and ambiance. No cute bottles on my visit 1/15/22 :( I'm no stranger to Tea Brick. I've been going to the one in Monterey Park for years, and it's a go to spot for drinks that are made consistently and usually not too long of a wait. I decided to give this location a shot, but I was disappointed by the taste. This spot used to be another boba place, but I hadn't returned since it became Tea Brick. There was a lot of people sitting inside and some people loitering outside, but our drinks were made quickly. I was pretty let down to see that they're using regular cups right now, not the cute screw on top ones they're so famous for! Bummer. While the drink came with lots of toppings, the tea was bitter. I ordered regular sweet, and usually Tea Brick has their drinks made almost TOO sweet, but I felt like the green tea must've been oversteeped because it left a bitter aftertaste :( Pros: Fast, friendly service Cons: Bitter taste Does not come in the cute screw top bottle Final verdict: Would not go out of my way to come here. There are better boba shops. However, I would be willing to revisit in the future... if they figure out their tea situation and bring back the cute bottles!! read more

Called in to see if the koala cups were being offered again, and luckily they were! I came in ASAP and ordered The Christine, sadly it was pretty mediocre at best. The tea seemed to be over-steeped, so it was quite bitter. On that note, the sweetness level was a bit lacking, most likely because the bitterness was overpowering and it was heavily watered down with ice. I usually do not mind heavy ice, but the drink was already so underwhelming and unflavored that the ice did not help in the slightest. The service was quite odd in my opinion. I waited around 30 seconds (although it felt like minutes) for the cashier to ask for my order, but he just stared at me while I stared back very confused. He didn't even show me the menu or recommend any of the top 10 drinks. I ended up breaking the silence asking if I could order now, and the rest of the transaction felt like I was a customer taking on the role of the cashier as well. Looking back, I don't think he even said a word to me, no questions about sweetness level, ice level, or how long the wait would be. Not even sure if Tea Brick does adjustment levels because of the lack of communication. I also noticed a Five Star Rewards tablet there, but was too nervous to ask and of course the cashier failed to introduce/explain how it worked. Ending on a positive note, my drink was prepared very fast! I definitely only come to Tea Brick for the cute cups, other than that I do not see myself coming back. Once the drinks are more consistent in sweetness and astringency, as well as improvement on customer service, I might have a change of heart! *The reusable cup was the main reason for my rating! read more

Tea Brick - Arcadia - The Christine Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Parking: Pretty small open lot shared among a few small businesses but wasn't too hard to get a spot in the afternoon. Drinks: Very surprised with the vastness of their menu. I haven't been to a Tea Brick for about 2 years so it was refreshing to see how their drinks have changed. Lots of fruit teas and they even have soda and mojito based drinks! I was satisfied with just a green tea with some mint leaves. My dad got the lychee peachy drink and he enjoyed the fruit bits. - Lychee Peachy - Green tea w/ Mint Ambiance: Seems like a nice place to study. Looked like about 4-5 tables and a couple lined up along the window. There was also a bench to wait for pick-up. I was expecting it to be super loud inside but it was very empty at the time. Service: Drinks came out pretty quick and the worker at the cashier was very kind and patient. read more

They're super fast and nice. I've ordered on Yelp to do pick up during my work hours for lunch. Never had any issues and the person who help me remembered me and asked if my drink was good from the day before. I ordered the Durian smoothie and the popcorn chicken. It was really good. Great customer service and it's really clean. Thanks for making it easy to order online. It saves so much time. read more

Running errands in the area and needed some caffeine! Tea Brick took over the space for Honeyboba recently and I wanted to try this location out. I've been to the Monterey Park location and liked it there. This boba/tea & snacks spot has some pretty delicious milk teas and fruity teas. The popcorn chicken is pretty good too! Love the reusable bottles for the drinks. They're super cute! But may add an additional cost to each purchase. I'd like if the straw fit inside when you needed to close the bottle though. The Christine Tea - Strawberry, Mango & passion fruit tea with fresh Mango & Strawberry chunks - fresh brewed green tea base and very refreshing! I really like this drink on a warm afternoon. The tea had a great strong flavor! I don't like watered down drinks. Popcorn Chicken - these huge chicken pieces are boxed up instead of in the usual pastry bag. I got the spice on the side and it wasn't crazy hot (kinda like the Japanese togarashi) instead of the Taiwanese fried basil flavor. It tasted good. But those nuggets are huge! Each piece was about 3/4 inch cubes! Service was quick & friendly. They adheard to the Covid restrictions, had the dividers up and had masks on. Social distancing stickers were also used. The decor is pretty much the same, not too many changes from Honeyboba. I love the big huge windows looking out to the parking & streets. I got to catch some rays while waiting for my order. They are in a strip mall with private parking. There's usually parking available in front of the store. Recommended. read more

Very disappointed with this place! I ordered two drinks with boba (had to pay extra to include it of course) and when I got home I realized that both drinks did not have the toppings. So upset! Do not come here, especially if you're ordering to go because your order might be wrong. read more

Tea Brick - Arcadia - Drinks missing the boba that we paid for!!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

COVID-19 Safety: All staffs are following proper protocols. Set up of the cashier is also very safe. Drinks: It is a bit pricier than other boba shops, however, all drinks come with cute reusable cups. The drinks were tasty as well. I got a fruit tea. I would recommend getting 100% sweetness though. Personally, I thought the tea flavor is a lot stronger than other places so the drink I bought that day was a bit bitter. Overall: Would recommend! You can also place your order online as well so it's super convenient! read more

I cannot get over how adorable these reusable cups are! And the fact that they didn't cost extra?! They have a wide range of drinks to choose from, including caffeine free drinks. There are also interesting toppings like fruit bits and ice cream. The staff was very friendly and wrote down our order names on the lids of the bottles, which was very helpful. Early Grey Milk Tea with Honey Boba: you can't go wrong with an earl grey milk tea! I recommend getting 50% sweetness. The honey boba was freshly made, slightly warm, and chewy. The Christine: super fruity drink that had chunks of fruit in it as well. My cousin got this and loves sweet things, so this was perfect. Matchamisu Milk Tea: very refreshing with the perfect amount of matcha. Sometimes matcha drinks can be powdery, but this one was smooth and light. read more

The cups are definitely cute but that's what tacks on the higher price tag. The tea is strong! And usually I get 50% sweet at just about every boba spot but this time, 50% was not sweet at all. I got the Vanessa which is a peach and strawberry tea. With so many boba spots around the sgv, this one is a solid spot. read more

Ordered two black tea and had to wait 15 minutes for them. Never been to a boba place with slower service.

Cutest cup ever! The drinks are available in a cute reusable designed cup or a regular cup with their logo. Tea Brick's tea flavor is definitely more intense than most places so i would say 75% sugar is perfect for a good balance of sweetness and tea flavor. Their mini boba was so good too!! read more

Happy to see Tea Brick on the side of SGV I live in. This is a new location. They took over the Honey Boba space. Small plaza, tight parking spaces. Order over the phone if you do not want to wait for your drink to be made. Waits can be long. Drink was ready as quoted. The Christine w/ Lychee Jelly - $5.95 + $.60 - Preset drink. Fruity green tea blend. I love the fresh fruit inside. Lychee was a good side with it. I got it 25% sweet to lower the sweetness, which was perfect. Tea Brick Milk Tea w/ Boba - $5.35 + $.60 - Good milk tea. Zero sugar was good for me with the boba added. read more

I've only been to their Monterey Park location, so it was my first time trying this location. We ordered The Christine and Love at First Sight. The Christine: the tea was bitter even after mixing, like it was seeped for too long. The fruits in it were also all sour, but I saved the drink overnight and they were sweeter the next day. Love at First Sight: similar experience, but the drink was overall refreshing so I'd recommend it. Overall, it's a hit or miss and a bit pricey for what you get. Even though the service was a bit on the slow side, kudos to the employee working front-of-house; he was the only one doing inventory, taking orders, and making drinks! Love the cup designs! read more

Very high quality but some milk teas can be a bit heavy/rich so you'll probably want to get it in a smaller size.

Strawberry Snow Milk was super fruity and creamy, taste almost like strawberry yogurt. Party Punch was refreshing. It's more on the sweeet side. I'll asked for half the sweet next time. They definitely use good tea. You could taste the aroma of the tea with every sips. The bottle that it comes with is such a bonus. If you want to save the rest of your drink for letter, simple twist on the lid and store in fridge. So Convenient, I love it. BTW the type of drawing on the bottles are seasonal. Right not it . read more

Cute cups galore! Before this location opened, the closest one near me was their MPK location. It wasn't until now where they took over Honeyboba's old spot. I got the hokkaido matcha for myself and 2 soda bomb drinks for my sisters and we all enjoyed them. The pricing is pretty reasonable since you're paying for the packaging too. Not too sure if you could adjust drinks cause I didn't ask. During this time most businesses aren't taking cash but my dumbass left my card at home so shoutout to homegirl at the cashier for letting me pay. read more

Great and awesome service!! The cool workers there are actually really nice, very friendly, and helpful!! My most favorite drink flavor would have to be the delicious Matchamisu Milk Tea because it's not too sweet at all and it comes with a cute plastic bottle design with a lid on the top! All of their drinks are pricey but you get what you pay for because of the many drink flavors, the plastic bottle designs, and the service itself. The whole entire area inside there is also really clean and very spacious! I will come back here and buy more of their different drink flavors again when I'm in Arcadia! Five stars is definitely my actual total rating! Thank you all so much for everything!!! :) read more

Fast service! I walked in to order and my drink was ready within minutes! I also like that their cups are reusable, and are super cute! I ordered the Vanessa - it's a strawberry/lychee drink. I am typically a 25% sweet type of person and ordered the same. Although the drink was not sweet enough to my liking, I actually prefer it to be not sweet enough rather than too sweet. I liked that they used real fruits, and didn't charge crazy for it! the drink was ~$5, but honestly most boba shops are charging the same price now. I would definitely come back again to try their house milk tea just so I can benchmark this place against other boba shops! read more

Came here and ordered a matcha smoothie which they did not have on the menu but they were happy to test and try and make it for me and it was soooo goood. Matcha smoothie is usually my go to and I'm so glad they made it for me. Only knocked down one star because boba was a little undercooked but I'm definitely giving the drink 5 stars especially since it wasn't on the menu! Cups are cute but not really a fan if you are constantly going to frequent this spot and yes I've been to the other locations and have tossed so many of these. Sad especially since you're probably paying $1 more for the drink. Two drinks came out to $12 flat. read more

We chose the Signature Pu-erh Tea Brick, and, man, it was something. Artfully compressed into a beautiful brick, the layers of tea opened up as it brewed. Each sip yielded the complex profile of the taste with earthy undertones and some slight, very welcoming sweetness--something dried, like figs. The people at Tea Brick were, for a better lack of the term, super knowledgeable. They took all the time in the world with me when ordering. read more

Today is the 3rd time I ordered from Tea Brick, I loved the Hokkaido Matchamisu Milk Tea, it was truly delicious, I always ordered w/ pudding and grass jelly. I also ordered the Brown Sugar Snow Milk w/ boba for my son. Both drinks came with these cute plastic containers, nice design. My previous 2 ordered came with different container designs. I always order my drinks with 50% sugar and less ice. I decided to try their popcorn chicken, and WOW!!! Loved the spices, even though it wasn't spicy, it tasted great, and the chicken was white meat instead of dark. I will definitely be back for more. read more

Our first time order here. We love to support our local community and businesses in the area. We usually order at other locations. Today, we were very please the order for pick up was fast and on time. Unfortunately (1 of 3 )drinks got a plastic strip at the bottom. My husband was finishing up his drink and was surprisingly found something stuck at the end or bottom of the straw/ cup. And when he pull it off, noticed it wasn't even part of the fruits or the jelly from the drink. It was a splash ic strip that we thought was straw bag but not the same. We felt disgusted. This doesn't look any healthy and safe since we all trying to stay safe due to this Covid-19 and precaution. Now this... I hope your will continue your business but please be very cautious, keep cups clean before filling drinks & covering the foods so other items doesn't fall in it. Owner- Please see photos enclosed. read more

Love the boba I got from them. I got the brown sugar milk tea boba. Yum. Super sweet and had that tea flavor as well. Boba was nice a chewy. Will be returning to try other drinks. Actually. I lied.

Used to be 5 stars for us. Their Thai tea used to be the best in SGV. Now it is way too sweet. Came here 3 times and the recipe has changed. Too much sugar. Not enough tea. Changed somewhere between 2023 Sept and November read more

Writing reviews for boba shops are very bias and can vary between everyone. Honestly, I've never had a bad drink when ordering at Tea Brick. Their drinks are always amazing, they always come in a cute cup, and the ordering process is easy. We placed an order for 7 drinks yesterday around 5pm, picked up in 20-25 minutes. The only thing I didn't like was the marker they used on the cap or the cup that smears and makes ugly markings/smudges on the bag. Currently their design is KOALA CUPS! If you haven't gotten them yet, go get them now. read more
