    Tiger Milk with Boba ($5)
    Ian A.

    I experienced something awful at Tea Hive (West Covina). It's the first time I needed to rush towards a trashcan to spit out slimy, oozy, boba. This Tiger Milk ($5.00) not only had gross tofu-like boba, but this beverage's liquid tasted like leftover, watery milk that had been forgotten. The beverage is aesthetically pleasing, but this drink's unsettling and off-putting taste resulted in me pouring it into a nearby bush. Tea Hive (West Covina) is also unmaintained. Staff just ignores the uncleaned tables and unswept floors. One table (similar to another) had napkins laying on the ground while being covered in crumbs. The ambiance is mixed. Tea Hive (West Covina) is superficially cute. The wall artwork is charming; the anime-themed, cute knickknacks are adorable; and the furniture appears new. However, the location is dimly lit and eerie. No music plays. The place is well-ventilated, but all that's left is a slight ghostly chill throughout this empty location. I arrived on a Wednesday (around 10:10am). Staff at the register is cordial and quick. Receipt says Vynita. The drink took six minutes and eight seconds. As mentioned prior, whoever prepared the Tiger Milk with Boba did an awful job. I can tolerate a bland, unsweetened old milk taste; however, I have never had boba that bad before. Those boba balls were more reminiscent of tofu in taste and texture. Overall, Tea Hive (West Covina) is a beautiful location that offers carelessly prepared drinks. Wrapping something gross in a shiny veneer is not a real solution. Tea Hive (West Covina) needs to invest more time in hiring diligent staff and acquiring good-quality ingredients. 1 out of 5

    I love the retheming of this place! The mural on the wall and the colorful merchandise make it a fun place to be. I'm a sucker for stamp cards. Buy 10 drinks, get one free. They give you a sticker for buying a drink too. They have some good deals for happy hour worth checking out. I got the brown sugar boba with almond milk. They are not stingy with the brown sugar syrup, which I love! It would be nice if they had oatmilk or soymilk that's more creamy. However, the chairs are so uncomfortable. The back on the chair is so low and there is 0 support. It might as well be a stool. I would stay longer to study and drink a boba if there were better chairs. Sadly there is no vegan options for the food. The cashier clarified with me that the leaf symbol on the menu stands for vegetarian and not vegan. I wish the chow mien and the eggrolls were vegan-friendly. I would come more. The cashier didn't seem super knowledgeable on what drinks were actually vegan or could be made vegan with almond milk either.

    This was my first time here and I really loved it! The shop is super cute inside with nice decorations. I tried a box of pastries -- chocolate eclairs, a croissant, a glazed donut with rainbow sprinkles, and even some mini cream puffs. Everything was fresh, soft, and so delicious. I also ordered a tea and the guy working there was kind enough to mix two flavors (passion fruit and guava with glass boba) since I couldn't decide. That small gesture made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back!

    Sausage, Egg & Cheese Croissant Breakfast Sandwich

    I've been to Tea Hive twice, once to try their drinks and the second time to try their breakfast offerings. I ordered their Mangonada. It was pretty sweet, but overall ok. The next visit, I ordered their sausage, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich. The croissant itself was pretty good, flake and fluffy. The sausage and egg were cooked well, but I felt like you could taste the flat top the food was cooked on. It was missing some sort of sauce or spread. Overall, this is a decent spot that have a ton of offerings from drinks, breakfast items, donuts and teriyaki.

    2/5 left confused and disappointed Originally, I was leaning toward a 4/5, but my second visit--just hours after my first--completely changed my impression. During my first visit, I ordered three drinks and three ham & cheese croissants (one jalapeño because they ran out of the regular ones). The drinks were just okay. For three Honey Green Teas, I expected a quick turnaround, maybe 2-3 minutes, but the wait dragged on to the point where I wasn't even sure anyone was preparing my order. Still, I brushed it off and appreciated that the drinks were drinkable, so I came back a few hours later for more. During that second visit, I inquired about a rewards program or stamp card. The staff member kindly gave me two stamps for this visit. I mentioned I had just been in earlier that day and asked if I could get stamps for that visit too. She seemed fine with it and went to ask--only to be met with an eye-roll from the woman who helped me earlier (now realizing she's the manager or owner). Instead of acknowledging a returning customer who had just spent over $110 on drinks, croissants, donuts, and a mystery box, she walked to the back without a word. Let's be clear: that kind of attitude is not okay, especially to a returning customer who tipped generously during both visits. Not to mention, I didn't make a fuss when she accidentally charged me for the wrong item earlier and told her to just keep the difference as an extra tip. The guy who handed me my drinks during my first visit and the girl who helped me on the second visit were both friendly and provided good service--shoutout to them. But for the manager: I'm genuinely at a loss. Hospitality matters. You never know who's returning, who's recommending, or who's writing the reviews.

    smaller cup fit right in

    Been there 2x. Nice little place with lots of toys / collections for sale along with tea, coffee, donut and other bake goods. Was actually thinking of making it as my TO GO place for drinks till I realized just now that from the 1st and 2nd time purchase of their drinks, the cup they use SHRINKED!!!! 1st time was taller wider and my 2nd visit was shorter- 1/2" and narrower and of course -- for the same $. A bit discouraging actually. As consumer, of course that is not a good thing. Taste are good and services are ok.

    Teriyaki Chicken! If you only get one item here, get the teriyaki chicken (you're welcome). I stopped by on a Friday during lunch rush and there was a handful of people inside. The service was friendly and I was told it's under new management - so be a little patient with them as they get their operations down. I ordered the Beet, Carrot, and Orange juice, donut holes, chicken and steak plate, and donut holes. I don't normally order healthy juices with carrots in them but this was recommended to me as it's their most popular juice drink. It was good if you're looking to stay healthy - there are not any additional sugar added. Donut holes were standard, nothing crazy about them but I love a good solid donut hole. Chicken and Steak Plate - I was so hungry I gobbled this up quickly. The chicken is juicy and had good flavoring. No complaints about the steak but the chicken definitely stole the show. Overall, this was good and I would come back and order it again since it seems healthy as it's your choice of carbs (or you can get steamed veggies) with a protein. The portion sizes are good, you definitely get more bang for your buck here versus skimpy Panda Express. Thai Tea with Boba - they use tea leaves for their thai tea and not powder. My only complaint is the tapioca balls are harder than I prefer it to be. If they were cooked a little longer/softer it would be perfect. Overall, I'll be back!

    Teriyaki chicken bowl with chow mien instead of rice! Delicious!

    Came to this place for lunch after getting my hair done next door and I was pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious!! The cashier who was also the cook was very friendly answering all my questions and happily made my bowl with noodles instead of rice. The place was clean with a well stocked fridge full of a variety of drinks. Will definitely return!

    The cashier guy was really nice and the lady were really nice as well, no hassle, super quick. Great seats and tables, would like more shade tho but can't help the location, the food was reasonably priced and really good. My homie ordered some dumpling and they were good as well

Interior / Atmosphere The shop itself looks bright, clean, and inviting. It has big shop signs, sofas, and a few cute spots where you can take pictures. From what I heard, they also host K-pop gatherings from time to time, which gives the place a fun and unique vibe. Service The staff were friendly, interactive, and easy to talk to. They answered my questions with helpful information and made the experience feel welcoming. Drinks I ordered the Guanyin milk tea, which was recommended to me after I mentioned that I prefer a stronger tea flavor. It was a good recommendation, and I enjoyed that the tea taste came through well. Even though I ordered 100% sugar, the drink did not taste overly sweet, which I appreciated. Overall Overall, I had a good experience here. I would personally rate this place around a 4.3 to 4.7, but because the staff were so interactive and welcoming with customers, I would give them a 5.

The splash of ube fails to add any considerable taste. I arrived at Mizuri (West Covina) on Wednesday (around 11:02AM - near opening time). It's located inside the West Covina Mall (aka: Plaza West Covina). Parking is simple since the mall's lot is huge. I quickly found a spot inside the parking structure. Mizuri (West Covina) is located on the ground floor, underneath the Food Court. This business is wedged between JC Penny & the escalators. Staff is polite and quiet. There's no self-service kiosk, so customers must order at counter. Staff quickly answered my questions and provided a respectful demeanor. My drink took two minutes and 24 seconds. Fast! As mentioned, the Flavored Matcha - Ube ($7.50 - Large - 24oz) tasted boring. The brief ube flavor is appreciated; the quality of its matcha is enjoyed; and the portion is thirst-quenching. Unfortunately, its flavors felt watered down. The sweetness or addictive twist felt lacking. As it is, it currently embodies the stereotype of "mall drink." Concerning ambiance, Mizuri (West Covina) is a stall. There's no music, and it's very clean. Fortunately, this business is extremely fortunate with its location since there's nine nearby tables. There's even four electrical outlets near the brown table! I even saw usb ports for charging. The mall also provides free internet for guests. There's no restroom, but a brisk journey up the escalator will lead customers to the nearby Food Court's restroom. There's surprising utility by Mizuri (West Covina)! Overall, Mizuri (West Covina) is not bad. However, as of now, it's extremely unmemorable. Hopefully the drinks improve with time. 3 out of 5
