I will keep it short and simple this time: the service was friendly, pricing wasn't bad, my mango sago with half sugar was decent at best. It was refreshing after lunch, but there are so many better options in the area.

No. 18 Golden Mellow Milk Tea  & Seasalt Cream OG really good , the perfect sweet for my test
Nenita F.

This place is very convenient if you're craving something fresh and tasty , the Jung people who works there are very friendly. Hardly recommend

They have popcorn milk tea. It was a little on the sweeter side and missing the tappiochi from another store but it was still very good. Worth the price too since the drink sizes are big. It also looks like they sell uji matcha. Service was fast. We also came 30 minutes before they were closing so it wasnt busy.

Toasted Brown Sugar Boba oat milk, Yuzu matcha with sparkling water
Mimi L.

I'v ordered tea deliveries from this place a few times. Most of my teas tasted very good especially the yuzu matcha with sparking water. Boba oat milk tea was a bit sweet but the boba was very tasty. I don't usually drink boba milk tea so it was a rare treat. The earl grey latte was yummy as well. The only drink wasn't good was the coconut milk matcha latte. Don't know why there were chunks of coconut milk in the tea drink! So I had to dump the whole thing. Overall it's a solid tea shop that I will order deliveries from time to time!

My daughter and I were shopping in the area and stopped by to get our refreshing drinks. This is my second visit. Ordered: Coco Mango Green Thai Milk Tea with no ice Ambiance is nice and clean. This is grab and go boba shop. Friendly staff and service. I will definitely be back.

PARKING: Free in the plaza it is located. My husband and I came to get our boba fix. No one was there so service was quick. JASMINE GREEN MILK TEA: I got this with brown sugar boba and less ice. Tasted exactly how I expected and enjoyed it!

Menu (Part 2)

I ordered the Strawberry Fruit Snowy ($6.95). It's thick, sour, creamy, and sugary. I appreciated its freshly diced strawberries, but this drink is an acquired taste. Personally, I did not enjoy its playful & sour aftertaste; rather, this gloopy drink made me crave water. I arrived at The Tea (Hacienda Heights) on Monday (around 12:10PM). Staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Staff held a bright smile, and staff spoke softly & kindly. The drink took one minute and nine seconds. Extremely fast! As mentioned, I disliked my Strawberry Fruit Snowy ($6.95). Although its ingredients tasted fresh, it had an off-putting texture and aftertaste. It's a potent, sour beverage. Strangely enough, I felt more thirsty after drinking it. Regarding ambiance, The Tea (Hacienda Heights) is minimal. It feels like an order-and-leave location. The music is extremely loud; the one counter had backwards chairs; and the location had no restroom. It's a fairly small place with its door left wide open. I had to swat my hand around as a fly buzzed near my face. Strangely enough, despite the lack of seating & space, there's customer wifi with password. It's also pleasant how parking is very plentiful and simple. Overall, The Tea (Hacienda Heights) offers affordable and generously-sized beverages with delightful & welcoming service. Although I vehemently disliked the Strawberry Fruit Snowy ($6.95), I can appreciate its existence. 4 out of 5

Located in a big place by Azusa amd Colima. Plenty of parking spaces. The shop is small without a restroom and tables. To go orders only. The order was placed with the cashier up front, touchless payment system was accepting using my mobile phone. The wait time was a bit long and seemed to be served randomly. I only ordered 1 drink, but my order came 2 customers after. And it was a simple order; #18 milk tea. The milk tea itself was tasty but the milk was not smooth. More like powdered milk Its alright, if you want to get your milk tea fix. Dont expect to much. It gets a 3.1 out of 5.

Uji Matcha Latte: 5/5. Highly recommended! Quality matcha, pairs well with brown sugar boba. Locates in a big plaza with plenty of parking, you can order at the cashier or self order. Service was fast.

Jared K.

If you're a coconut person, taro person or both, I would recommend Coconut Taro Blend. This was a rather thicker drink especially with the coconut jelly, but the flavor is perfect. You get a great earthy blend of both the coconut and taro flavors. I ordered mine at half sweet which is 60% and I would say it's perfect! Anything more, I would say would make it too sweet. This drink was creamy and refreshing!

Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea and Mango Pomelo Sago
Maggie V.

Great tea spot very aromatic. We got the oolong and mango sago. Ordered off a kiosk and waited about 10 minutes

Elizabeth P.

Found this spot after a football tournament in the area and it hits so good. The coco mango is a refreshing slush with fresh coconut bits. The mango pomelo sago was dessert in a drink. Peach momo is a yummy tea with cream and jelly. Service is friendly and this will definitely will be our tea spot when we are in the area.

I stopped by because I needed some tea on the way home and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this place was. We ordered through the kiosk and waited about five minutes for our drinks. I had the Uji Matcha Latte, while my wife had the Golden Mellow Milk Tea. Both were nicely made, perfectly sweetened at 25%, and tasted like quality ingredients. We left very satisfied.

The tea aroma at Chayan is seriously rich and incredibly fragrant! I absolutely love that feeling…read moreof "the tea is the star of the show"!! Jinjunmei · Golden Treasure This one really stole my heart! The Jinjunmei tea has a naturally sweet and rich aroma, and it pairs so well with the creamy topping and crunchy pecans. The three flavors complement each other beautifully. You get that rich tea aroma first, followed by the smooth, creamy texture, and then a nice nutty crunch from the pecans. There are so many layers of flavor! Rose Oolong First of all--this drink is SO pretty! The pink color is absolutely gorgeous, and it instantly puts you in a good mood just holding it. And there are popping boba inside! One bite and they burst with juice Pink + rose + oolong + popping boba = impossible to resist. "Youthful Days" This is a jasmine green tea milk tea. The jasmine aroma is delicate and floral, and it becomes softer and smoother when blended with fresh milk, while the tea flavor still shines through. I really love milk tea that still actually tastes like tea! It's kind of like the name "Youthful Days"--fresh, clean, and uncomplicated. Matcha Latte If you're a matcha lover, definitely give this one a try! It's not one of those overly sweet green milk drinks. Instead, the natural aroma of matcha really comes through, with a subtle tea bitterness that gives it more depth. My picks, in order: Jinjunmei · Golden Treasure Youthful Days Rose Oolong Matcha Latte

Worst customer service ever!…read more We hadn't even placed our order yet. As we walked in, we saw a sign advertising a buy-one-get-one-free promotion for October 16. When we asked about it, the employee responded rudely in Chinese, saying it was online only. I don't speak Mandarin, so I politely asked her to explain in English. Instead of responding professionally, she spoke to us with an attitude, turned around, rolled her eyes, and complained to her coworker that we were bothering her. The whole interaction was incredibly unpleasant and unprofessional. We were so put off by her attitude that all six of us decided to leave without ordering. We literally looked at each other and said, "Let's get out of here!" Why would we want to spend our money at a business where customers are treated this way? No thank you! If the owner cares about their business, I strongly recommend reviewing how employees interact with customers. Customer service can make or break a business, and employees with this kind of attitude are driving customers away instead of welcoming them. Put some camera and listen the interaction! For reference, the employee we encountered was a young, slim woman with brown hair in a ponytail. Employer was shorter and Asian, while the other was taller and wore glasses. You lost six customers today because of one unpleasant interaction. First impressions matter, and we certainly won't forget this one.

ALittle Tea is a great little neighborhood tea shop in Rowland Heights. There are usually two or…read morethree people working, and while they don't interact with you much, the ordering process is super seamless. There are two self-serve kiosks right to your right when you walk in. I actually prefer this setup because it allows you to customize your drink exactly the way you want it. We usually order ours with no sugar, and they always pay attention to those details and get it perfectly right. They've recently expanded their menu, so there is a nice variety every time we visit, and the service is always quick. Just a heads up: it's a small space with only one long wall bench and no public restrooms. Also, beware of the parking! The lot can be really tough to navigate since they share it with a Yoshinoya, Korean BBQ, and several other restaurants. Even with the crazy parking, it is definitely always worth a drop-in to grab a quick drink.

My friend recently discovered ice cream in boba drinks at another ALittle Tea location, so I was curious how those two mesh. I ordered the medium ice cream black tea ($5.49), with no ice and 30% sugar. True to its roots, this drink also came with an option to add up to three toppings for free. I got boba, tea jelly, and coffee jelly with my tea. The drink was delicious with the ice cream, but you do have a wait a bit for the ice cream to melt so it can be drinkable. Love that you can still add on more toppings on top of the ice cream. There is a little bit of seating inside (no tables), but it's more of a order and go spot. If you're already in this plaza, ALittle Tea is nice to stop for a boba drink, otherwise, you'd drive yourself crazy trying to find parking and navigating around all the bottleneck cars.

BOGO 10/8 - 10/9 Pumpkin series! So good!! Highly recommend!…read more The mochi one was sold out but they still had the Pumpkin Duet which has pumpkin purée with green tea and pumpkin mousse. They use real pumpkin and you can taste the authenticity of the ingredients they use!! It is so creamy! I can also taste the aromatic green tea. I got 50% sweet with less ice and it was great - it did not result in a lack of flavors. I was surprised it was so empty around 7:30pm yesterday. I got my order super quickly! Barely had to wait. Ordering with the kiosk was very easy. Love the ambiance inside and love their to-go bag! So cute!! It's super big and spacious inside.

There was plenty of seating but it was packed because it was a Friday night at 10 pm. We ordered our drinks at the pos system and managed to get a table after someone left. The drinks took a bit to come but it was alright because we were talking away. I got the mochi mango with whipped cream and I really wished I opted out of the cream. The last few sips at the end was not great with the whipped cream as it didn't really add anything to the drink and was wasted at the end when I threw it away. The drink itself was delicoous though. I loved how there were no mango hairs in the drink the mango chunks were great. There was also a milky taste in the drink and I loved chewing the mochi in it as well. Overall, solid boba place.

There were just 3 other customers inside when we arrived, so the wait was minimal. But might have arrived within their last hour of business. The lady that greeted us was pleasant, but looked tired and also seems to be the only staff working at the time. But she still prepared all the drink orders quickly and had everyone out the door while also proficiently tidying up as she worked. Definitely a seasoned pro at her craft. While waiting I took a few photos and checked out their menu and seasonal promotions. Their 4 drinks for $20 Labor Day Special was expiring end of 9/7/26 seems like a good deal. But having had other milk tea earlier in the day we did not take advantage of this promotion. Ended up getting Aiyu Lemon Green Tea with Aiyu Jelly & Grass Jelly. The tea had that authentic Taiwanese tea flavor and she was generous with the flavored jellies. Solid 5/5. Traditional Black Milk Tea with Boba Pearls tasted exactly like what I would expected from a tea shop that knows their milk tea fundamentals. The boba pearl was still soft and chewy, especially for the end of the business day, pleasantly surprised but almost to be expected in the fiercely competitive boba tea market in Rowland Heights. We have stand out boba tea shops in Vegas, but I doubt even the best with years of solid local support could top Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea in a blind taste test (and there are likely even more subjectively superior boba tea options that local connoisseurs could recommend that I am simply cluelessly unaware of). That being said we are very satisfied with our first visit and the teas we took home. 5/5.
