Pleasantly surprised with this cute little tea shop and restaurant. They have a nice selection of food, snacks, and drinks. Super chill environment where people can come and chat over some boba or dine in for dinner. The food is authentically Chinese from Yunnan province. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend checking this place out for a quick bite or some refreshing drinks. read more

TeaMorrow in South Pasadena is a great local spot to chill and refreshing drinks with company (or alone). The atmosphere is open and airy, making it a perfect place to catch up with friends or get some work done while enjoying a drink. Milk Tea was excellent. Only negative was their metal indoor chairs. Whenever they moved inside, they were so cringefully loud. read more

Food: Taro Taiwanese Shaved Ice was really good. The shaved milk ice was fluffy and creamy and melted with no crunch. It was not overly sweet and the taro flavor was subtle. There were two sizes. Small is good for 1-2 people, and we were told that large serves 3-4. The popcorn chicken and crispy tofu were both good, as advertised, and actually crispy. They were served with cayenne and soy sauce on the side. Food came out surprisingly fast. Drinks took a bit longer. Drinks: Tried the Matcha Bandera with mango instead of strawberry. I also subbed oat milk instead of regular milk. I thought the flavors worked well together. Also had the Berry Hokkaido which turned out to be Hokkaido milk tea with strawberry puree. Based on the picture on their website I was expecting it to be like a smoothie, but it was just milk tea. It was fine but not very standout. read more

TeaMorrow - Taro Taiwanese Shaved Ice served with taro paste, mochi, sliced almonds, Pocky and mint. - Taiwanese Near Me - South Pasadena, California

The passionfruit green tea is refreshing - I recommend 100% sweetness, as it's not overpowering and gives the drink a nice balance. Service is decent. The ambiance is open and airy, with plenty of seating. I especially like the bar seating by the window--it's nice if you're looking to relax and people-watch. read more

TeaMorrow - Passionfruit Green Tea - Taiwanese Near Me - South Pasadena, California

I am a certified matcha lover and even more thanks to this place!! It did take awhile to make because I see they hand crafted it with love. The strawberry purée is FRESH and REAL fruit being used not the premade stuff. They make this cup to perfection with no clumps and perfect matcha strawberry ratio. Bonus point for the tiny diney on the cup. It's next to the cutest thrift store. I will drive back to Pasadena for this place. read more

Good boba but not good service We purchased 2 matcha strawberry bobas and asked to use the bathroom but the gentleman behind the counter said no and locked it. We asked why & he said they were closing. But they were not closing because there were still lots of people in the store & they were still waiting for their food to come outas a matter of fact, there were people who came after us & ordered food. After I begged, he finally allowed one of us to use the bathroom. The matchas were tasty & the cup they came in was cute read more

Local South Pasadenan here. Food used to be good. Found out today the hard way. Beef noodle soup bland no flavor. Their staple popcorn chicken went down the tube. No basil no flavor. $24 for lunch not coming back. Used to be family owned by Tiger (Shawn) now bought over by some bogus business group about a year ago that changed the recipes to probably save a buck. Let's get better food here and boycott in South Pas and support a new local small businesses. Do not recommend. read more

TeaMorrow - Bland popcorn chicken with no basil. What happened ?! - Taiwanese Near Me - South Pasadena, California

TeaMorrow is in the cute block on Missions that's home to a number of various restaurants and bars. You'll find the usual mix of milk teas, matcha drinks, and popcorn chicken. We got the OG milk tea, which was made far too quickly to have good flavor which unfortunately was true. Just tasted like a bland milk drink with hardly any tea flavor. The boba itself was mushy and had disappointing texture. Service was fine. Street parking along the block available read more

Parking is plentiful around the block of TeaMorrow, limited to two hours. They have options to order at the self-service kiosk or directly at the cashier. On a Saturday afternoon, they have regular traffic thought not a line-out-the-door kind of atmosphere - thankfully. Members of the general community frequent TeaMorrow as part of the general strip of small businesses, and many study or work on projects here - or even a quite bite. (And yes, there's Wi-Fi!) One thing to note is that the self-service kiosk does not have Oolong Milk Tea but it does have Peach Oolong Milk Tea (??) - weird! But ordering at the front cleared up this issue; I ordered this with boba for a friend and grabbed myself a 25% (mod) sweet Almond Milk Tea. Almond is one of those "difficult to get right" drinks in my opinion, but TeaMorrow exceeded expectations, especially with the customized sugar. It was on the "tad too sweet end," but better than expected. Wait time was approximately 15 minutes, though, despite the rather empty line - perhaps a shift change. read more

TeaMorrow - Oolong Milk Tea with Boba - Taiwanese Near Me - South Pasadena, California

It's located near the intersection by the train crossing. It's a bit difficult to find parking. We found parking on the side street with only a couple mins walk. It wasn't too far. They have kiosks for self-ordering. The drinks and food took awhile to come out. Our order was for to-go. Almond milk tea tasted better than most places out there. The popcorn chicken was a bit too soggy for me. read more

TeaMorrow - Large Almond Milk Tea and Popcorn Chicken - Taiwanese Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Drinks are decent, singling out their peach oolong tea, but a lot of misses when it comes to their toppings. I had their seasonal mango mayhem, and it had a combination of soft mango chunks that tasted like they came from a can, and also rock solid chunks that were not yet ripe. It was as if they were more fillers to take up more space in order to minimize the amount of liquid because they were not consumable. The sago was also a weird combination where some were really cooked and the others were really hard. The regular boba is too soft. Overall, I'd say quality of drinks and boba are comparable to Prolecé Tea in Old Town Pasadena, though I'd probably see myself going to Prolecé over TeaMorrow since it's open later. read more

There's nothing wrong with teamorrow. There's a lot of things on their offering that made me intrigued wanting to try everything. On my first visit i settled on zha jiang noodles with 75% hot, and honeydew milk tea. The honeydew milk tea is pretty alright, although kinda weird that the normal order is lactose free creamer instead of regular milk, but it still tastes nice. Normal sweet is kinda equal with 75% on most boba places. The zha jiang cooked al dente with enough salt and seasoning, and 75% hot is kinda medium hot on most asian places. Not bad at all. But my favorite part of this place the one thing only, their logo with the cute t-rex. read more

TeaMorrow - My favorite part of this place - Taiwanese Near Me - South Pasadena, California

The owners of the establishment were kind. The service was very good. I think their strengths are with the soups and drinks. The popcorn chicken was a bit different from what I expected. There were thin cuts of meat. The dumplings were good too. read more

TeaMorrow is a cute little boba cafe located in South Pasadena. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a casual and inviting ambiance that makes it the perfect spot to catch up with friends. Pro tip: check in on Yelp for a free size upgrade! In addition to various tea drinks, they also offer a variety of snacks and noodle and rice dishes that are sure to satisfy your hunger cravings. My party of 4 came by Saturday around 2 pm and it wasn't that crowded. We ordered and snagged a table easily. It did fill up as we were sitting and chatting, and by the time we left an hour later, most of the tables were occupied. I ordered the mango green tea slushie with light sweetness ($4.75), with a free upgrade to a large drink since I checked in on Yelp. While the drink was very refreshing on a hot day, it tasted closer to regular sweetness than light. My friend opted for the hot hokkaido milk tea ($5.25), which I had a taste of and enjoyed as well. Overall, TeaMorrow is a great spot to relax and enjoy some tasty boba. With plenty of seating available, it's the perfect place to catch up with friends or simply unwind after a long day. read more

The popcorn chicken and French fries came out good, however stay clear from the drinks. I got a honeydew milk tea which barely has any honeydew flavor. My partner got their white peach oolong milk tea which literally tastes like water with a splash of syrup. There's almost nobody here and no orders but our two drinks still took 20 minutes to make even though there was 2 workers. Very disappointed with the drinks and time waited for them... read more

DO NOT GET THE FOOD me and my girlfriend ate here yesterday (braised beef rice plate and pop corn chicken) and we both have really bad food poisoning. i am writing this from my bed right now still going through it. read more

Parking: TeaMorrow is located near the stop for the Metro. There is street parking but it might be difficult during normal hours. Interior: TeaMorrow is not very big. The interior had a couple of tables and chairs that were quite sticky. There were a lot of flies flying around. The music was very loud and the room did not absorb the sound well so it echoed a lot. It was a bit difficult to have a conversation. One thing to note is that the menu does not show the prices. You will need to order at the kiosks if you want to see the prices of the items. Service: There is a cashier to take your order if you choose not order at the kiosk. They will call out the order once it is ready and you can pick it up on your own. Food: I got the Coffee Milk Tea with 75% sweetness. It was still too sweet for me. The coffee flavor was very faint. Overall, it was a mediocre experience for me. read more

The match is weak, Wholefood's is wayyy better, and they offer different flavoured syrups. And why does this place stink? Weird. Pass read more

This used to be a great local spot. We were frequent customers and would recommend all the time. Since it changed ownership the only reason we come is its proximity. The menu has been drastically cut. All of the fun seasonal drinks are gone. The tea now tastes like it's premade or from concentrate. The new staff, although nice enough, has messed up our order many times. The best I can say about the food now is it's adequate. My kids complain the vibe is off now and are refusing to return. It was great while it lasted read more

my new study spot !!! was recommended by a friend to try this place out and I think I love it. I came in around noon , which was just in time to beat the afternoon rush. there are many outlets along the walls and plenty of seating space which makes this an ideal study spot. however, there is music playing in the background (GOOD music though) so that's something to keep in mind if you prefer quiet study spots. I ordered a hokkaido milk tea upon recommendation from the cashier, Joseph. he was very helpful and seemed very informed about the menu so I decided to give it a go. needless to say, my drink was delicious! there's no doubt that I'll be back to try some more drinks from here. read more

TeaMorrow - Hokkaido Milk Tea - Taiwanese Near Me - South Pasadena, California

My husband and I tried TeaMorrow for the first time on Sat, 10/21/2023 right before 4:00 PM. This place was bustling with people, and depending on what time you go, the seats were almost all filled at certain times. The cafe is located near a thrift shop and like some of the reviews say, it is def AESTHETICALLY pleasing. It's a bright cafe, with florals, tons of knick-knacks, and wall art. There's a pink light that says you + me + tea, which makes you want to take pics lol. We ended up ordering an item off their TeaMorrow X (Premium Drinks) using their self-ordering kiosk: What The Melon - "The sweetness of FRESH watermelon and the lively notes of green tea make this a perfect poolside treat." - $6.25 -- The drink included fresh watermelon and was quite refreshing on a hot day. Since the drink includes watermelon, I'm not sure the drink is a seasonal item. Although the drink was tasty, it wasn't too sweet but it was a little boring imho - literally blended up watermelon + sweetened green tea, nonetheless, my husband really enjoyed it. If you would like to order for pickup, here's their website: https://teamorrow.smartonlineorder.com/ Seating: There are like 1-2 tables outside and mostly indoor seating, which gets a little packed. The store was also a lil stingy with the aircon though since it was getting pretty stuffy without any air. Parking: We parked in the free lot nearby. According to their website, *free street parking available on Meridian Ave & Mission St. (2 hours max) *free public parking lot located just north of us at 803 Meridian Ave I'm interested in trying their matcha so next time I'm in the area, I'm open to trying their other drinks! read more

The food and service here is amazing. The ambiance is nice and local feeling. The boba tea, flavored teas, and dumplings are amazing

*FOOD QUALITY* Overall: For the price of boba, it is average and shows higher-than-normal quality. When it comes to the food, the value you get from the price paid is a little subpar but they still deliver the classic taiwanese dishes decently. I enjoyed flavors, and will be back due to its above-average food quality and ambiance! Hokkaido Milk Tea (4/5) - I went for 50% sweetness and I'm so glad I did because even after the adjustment, the drink was rather saccharine still. The boba was a good consistency, with the outside having a blurry texture due to being slightly overcooked and steeped in liquid too long but the core having a nice bounce. The Hokkaido flavor is present and yummy, although a little strong on the syrup sweetness. Passionfruit Green Tea Slushie (4/5) - One for the better slushies I've ever had at a boba joint - it wasn't too sweet and had a fine texture of ice/sleet to juice ratio. The lychee jelly add-on made this drink extra delightful so I highly recommend it. Yummy and would order again! Popcorn Chicken (3.5/5) - Overall, the idea is there and the popcorn chicken is made with a lot of chicken (whereas some other places is more breading than actual meat) which I appreciate. However, the quantity was quite small for the price paid. If you choose to have the spicy seasoning on the side, the heat lingers and can easy choke if inhaled. Delicious overall! *CUSTOMER SERVICE* Kind service with a short wait! They are receptive and patient, which was great! *AMBIANCE* The entrance is a set of vibrant blue double doors that look as if you're walking into the vintage store but make a right and you'll enter Teamorrow. What lovely high-ceilings, spacious interior, and natural light coming in from the street-facing windows! The decorations, lamp, and furniture are a balanced ensemble that is aesthetically pleasing. When crowded, the environment can get overwhelming with sound, but the bustling nature feels like a great place for community. On a weekday after 2/3pm, you'll find most frequenters are young students. With its abundance of outlets lining the walls, reliable wifi, and open tables it's a nice place to study, work, or catch up with a friend. Love the space and its decorations and there is also a restroom in the back! Just note that the tables are a bit small and close together. *PARKING* I found free parking on the side street that is just a block away. If you can't find street parking, you can go to the Mission-Meridian Parking garage that's $3 during the weekdays from 4am - 12pm! read more

First time here, but will definitely come back. Vegetarian Review: Hokkaido Milk Tea, easy ice, whole milk, easy sugar. I liked it. It was on the better side- a fair amount of tea flavor, and the milk was just enough. I added pudding as well, which was light and not too sweet. The whole thing was refreshing. Fries: if eaten right away, piping hot, these were great. They're salt and peppered, and super crisp. Parking: easy to find around the corner. Go by on a Thursday afternoon and catch the farmer's market in that area. read more

Very bad service! Food are not fresh. I would never eat in this place any more! Avoid this place!

Cute atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Food is fine. The popcorn chicken has a pretty good seasoning and crunch to it. There is more meat to it compared to other places that serve popcorn chicken. I tried the Thai tea and it's okay compared to other Thai teas. At least it doesn't taste like candy or artificial. There is an option to order at the register or on a touchscreen pad. read more

HOKKAIDO Milk Tea Was a bit too Sweet Make sure you ask them if they can control the sweetness levels...!!! I wish they had asked me this first... This one was SO SWEET So I went back ... And I asked ... "Do you guys like control the sweetness levels no one asked me how sweet I wanted my tea and this is too sweet for me?" A guy behind the counter was gonna add more tea and curtail the sweetness... makes sense And "the tea is not really hot" ... "Can you warm it up...please ?" Ok maybe I didn't say please but it was because it felt like I was pulling teeth to get my order right... A girl just finished asking me if I wanted Boba in my hot tea... I had to tell her three times ... no ... I want it hot... and then she tells me... if I want Boba again in my hot tea!!! "Wait.. people get Boba in their hot tea!?" "Yes" "Ok you learn something everyday.." No boba in my hot milk tea... please So that interaction along with a comment that if they were going to make it hot they had a few orders they had to put through... so the gesturing began on how my hot tea order was gonna have to come in cold....this comment set me sideways a little... so? I'm an order ... ain't I!? I'd like it hot...I can wait... Better to tell me ... it's gonna be a small wait than to tell me that there are a few order ahead of me... I'm guessing online?! I get it your busy... but there's no one in line lol More customer interaction training needed here...if they're going to fulfill in person AND online orders ... lul "Can you re heat it though?" They did... The dude came through...in the end And this time it was perfect...he did hold me at "gunpoint" though... and asked with a faint hint of frustration... "can you taste it and tell me if you like it" Im like ... "it's hot now!!!... it's perfect " "Taste it" "Ok" I'm thinkin... "It's perfect!" Look man... let me sit down and allow me to taste it on my own time... if it's good ... you won't see me again all right!!!!??? Lol Glad it wasn't overly hot ...I would of burned my tongue....!!! So yea... I'm not a sweet tooth... But they came through ...in the end Just took some teeth pullin... TeaMorrow?! I'd like my tea TODAY!!! Yes thank you !!! Lol read more

I've been to this place a few times and it's been a cute spot with good service, but this time, me and my friend got food poisoning from the popcorn chicken. It tasted sour, so we asked the barista about it. He was really kind and offered to remake it as well as give us a drink on the house. It was less sour, but still spoiled. We threw it away but got pretty sick afterwards. read more

I spotted this after walking around the vintage street market happening on a Sunday. It sits right next to the South Pasadena Vintage store and mostly features tea-based drinks, desserts, and a small selection of savory snacks. The space is nicely-sized and offers indoor seating. I was hungry and decided to try their spicy beef noodle soup after spotting a picture of it on the window. You can order on a screen or with the cashier. I chose human interaction and had a lovely exchange with an employee, who suggested I try the mild spice option. Best advice ever! This soup broth was rich in taste and depth. I do suggest adding extra noodles to your order and maybe even extra veggies, as the ratio of liquid and noodles isn't exactly ideal. The beef pieces were falling apart in my mouth and gave the soup the hearty factor that makes it a meal. I will be returning to try their wontons and milk teas. My only note would be to offer a designated space to wait for to-go orders. Other than that, it's a wonderful, casual hidden gem. read more

4+ this particular review will be primarily just through the lens of a take out order - I don't feel like I got to fully experience this place. I actually drove out to the San Gabriel Valley area to try to get dumplings for a little friend get together, but that place was closed because it was lunar New Year's Eve. I found this place on my way back to my friends place in Glendale. It's a nice little tea place that serves food like the cafés. I saw that they serve dumplings here so we decided to grab some here. We also ordered some tea eggs to try while we waited. The tea eggs were delicious. Definitely had an earthly favorite flavor from the tea and was unique take on the hard boiled egg. I've never had eggs like this before. We got three orders of dumplings to bring to the party. The pork and cabbage, the pork and chives, and the vegetarian. I got to try all three and they were all very tasty. Perfectly cooked and delicious with vinegar. As for service, the folks behind the counter were super friendly and very helpful. We basically looked at the menu decided on the dumplings and paid with our cards right then in there and waited for the food to be ready. The place itself is located in a downtown area of South Pasadena. There's a lot of businesses around, so the parking is a little hard to come by but we were able to find one a couple blocks away. This also happened to be a Saturday night so it wasn't surprising that it was a busy area. The place seemed very cool, and some people were hanging out with their laptops. I definitely would like to come back and fully experience this place with some drinks as well as some more of the food. read more

#82 in my Teaholic Diaries. Situated on a quaint little street in South Pasadena, I love the location and it's old town vibes. And the shop itself is modern and cute, with a picturesque interior design perfect for social media photo ops. Unfortunately, our actual drinks were a let-down. My friend and I ordered a rose milk tea and a black milk tea, and both drinks were mediocre. Not bad per se, just completely average tasting. I also tasted more syrup than tea flavor, which was disappointing. So while I might give Teamorrow another chance if I'm in the area, it wouldn't be my first choice. ******************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

Came here on a weekday evening and there were quite a few groups here hanging out or people working on their laptops. You can order at the counter or on the touch screen. Ordered two drinks and got our drinks pretty quickly. Appreciate the service. They do mention if we needed something adjusted in our drinks we could come back up to them. Not a bad place to stop by if you're in the area. Parking is on the street which wasn't difficult to find. read more

Idk if I came on an off day or what but will not be coming back. Located on the corner of Mission & Meridian. Next to the train tracks ~ Parking was a hassle though. They have a few in the back that seems to be always full or you can try your luck on the the street. I tried coming here a couple of times but could never find parking so I gave up. Just got really lucky this time to find a space in the front. Inside: Plenty of tables if you want to chill or study. When I came, almost all the tables were taken besides the 2 big ones in the middle. Now we get to ordering part. Looked over the menu and decided to get the following: --Matcha Hokkaido Milk Tea (girl taking my order suggest getting an extra Matcha Shot since I'm getting a large, so I did) with NO ICE, since I'm taking it home and not drinking it now --What the Melon (was not in stock, so couldn't try) --Fresa Fresca (also was not in stock, so can't try.....) --Heart of Ocean (since my first 2 picks were out) with light ice since I'm going to be drinking it now Waited about 5 mins and got my order. Saw that the Matcha Hokkaido Milk Tea was with ice so I told the the guy who gave it to me it was suppose to be without ice and he just took it back mixing the drink (not saying anything) and the girl who took my order said "didn't you say with light ice", I said no, that was for the other order. So the guy who made the drink and her was talking near the sink behind the counter about how I didn't say that in low voices next to each (mind you, I can still hear it). If you're going to talk crap about "my mistake", don't do it in front of me. So I got the drink back with the ice just poured out, no apology or anything. I can tell they were over it by not cleaning the drink (see the picture). Tried both drinks and have to say it was nothing special. --Heart of Ocean: pretty and that's it. Just tasted like all lemonade, didn't taste any of the herbal tea flavor --Matcha Hokkaido Milk Tea: just tasted the Hokkaido with a hint of Matcha (even with the extra shot I got). Paid $14 for both drinks and it was a total waste. I don't mind paying for it if it was good but it wasn't even worth it. They are SO CHEAP with their drinks. I ordered a large for both, one with light ice and the other no ice and they don't even fill it all the way up. My Heart of ocean still had a lot of ice (when I asked for light) and wasn't filled to to the top (look at all that space). As for the Hokkaido Matcha, you already know the story -__-" Overall, would not be coming back. read more
