    Another photo but my sibling arm too

    The tea??? Yes please ‍‍‍ Did you see that extra effort it kind of rhymed. The incredible effort on my part is because the tea and boba here are very good. The flavors yum. Prices seem pretty standard for LA. Service is nice too, have a self order kiosk but the people are nice. Ambiance also nice. My mother thinks it smells good in here. Shoutout to my mother and my sibling because we are all here eating boba on a hot day. Wooooo We got the golden tea, taro, and hojicha. All are good I don't know what else to say. My picky mother thinks the tea tastes high quality which is very meaningful. It's also near a good grocery store with huge reallyyy good peanut bags apparently. I'm allergic to peanuts even though I love peanuts so I'm offended at my mom for telling me this. Also they are playing Justin beiber right now shoutout my sibling's Justin beiber phase we beliebe in the tea

    Yuzu matcha
    Thuy Dan T.

    Heard great things about The Tea so finally gave them a shot! They have a large menu, the inside has a few table seating in the front and some 2-seaters on the edges. We ordered a couple items from their signature menu, the matcha yuzu and the Oreo milk. We realized after ordering that the Oreo milk had no tea in it, there's one that is called Oreo milk tea so something to be aware of. Matcha was hand whisked but not super strong. Both drinks tasted good! Matcha yuzu had yuzu bits in it and the Oreo milk although just milk lol was still good. Would come back to try other flavors!

    When they first opened, I used to come a lot since it was one of the first places that had mango sago The drinks are still good, I like how fresh the fruits are

    Inside the shop, you can see the staff making the drinks.

    Back at our favorite tea place - The Tea. My son got his usual Or-Lichee drink. Plenty of table seating at around 5:46pm. We like the atmosphere and would come back to this location anytime that we are in town. Service is fine. We called our drink in over the phone so all we need to do is pay and go. My son's drink was ready when we came to pickup.

    Passionfruit GT, Lychee Aiyu
    Jenny L.

    We got the Passionfruit Green Tea and Lychee Aiyu. Passionfruit GT at regular sweetness was a tad bit too sweet for our preference, we recommend getting 50-75%. Lychee Aiyu at regular sweetness was good. They have very limited tables for anyone looking to hang or work here.

    Coco mango & crème brûlée milk tea
    Vivian P.

    Let's start with the bad news: the parking lot is a nightmare. Whoever designed it really said, "Let's make three spots when this could've easily been 7 or 8." Bold choice. Chaotic energy. But once you survive parking, it's all worth it. This is one of my hubby's favorite spots, and our go-to drink is the Coco Mango. And let me tell you--if you love coconut and mango, this is your place. The coconut slush is creamy and refreshing, the mango purée is sweet and fruity, and the chewy jelly just ties it all together. It's basically summer in a cup. Easy 9/10. Tonight I switched it up and tried their crème brûlée milk tea. It comes with toasted crème brûlée on top (yes, toasted), and I got it at 60% sugar which was the perfect level of sweetness. Not too heavy, not too light--just right. I'd give that a solid 8/10. They do have a kiosk available if you want to order on your own, but the service is always friendly and welcoming if you order at the counter. You never feel rushed, and everyone is super nice. They've got a few tables if you want to hang out and sip, and the ambience is actually really nice for a casual tea spot. So yes, the parking lot might test your patience, but the drinks will heal your soul. Definitely recommend if you're trying to get your drink on.

    The tea is usually my go to spot but something unacceptable happened in my last visit. We ordered an avocado smoothie and popcorn milk tea. The popcorn milk tea was fine but the avocado smoothie had chunks of hard plastic in it. My girlfriend watched one of the workers take out a large chunk of plastic from her drink. I assumed the blender must've broken or something but not all the shards were taken out of her drink. She could've choked on it and she definitely drank some smaller chunks. Worse part is that the worker knew something had gone wrong and didn't even think to make sure the drink was safe to consume. Just wanted to bring awareness. Ordered at 1:37pm 4/25/26

    I really like the tea bc they have really great non-caffeinated drink options. I have tried their Coco Mango, Coconut Taro blend, fruit tea, and smashed Avocado. All were tasty and, with 30% sweet, it wasn't too sweet. Parking - there are only 2 spots right outside the store. But there is plenty of nearby parking as the have two lots to the left and right of the store. The only reason for 4/5 is because no one greets you when you walk in. The workers always look mad is it just me? They're usually on their phone. BUT it doesn't affect the speed of them getting ur order out. So I do appreciate that.

    I used to love this place. For some reason, either the quality has gone down or the recipe has changed, or the staff who were making those drinks were not properly trained. Oreo matcha brûlée was my go-to. But the drink looks significantly different now. The yellow hint of brûlée is no longer there; the Oreo is a big chunk and not fully blended. When I got the drink, it gave me the vibe that the staff over there are probably doing very poorly in school, because it didn't show any details. It is sloppy. The first time I disappeared, I told myself, "Let's give it another try." But I got disappointed again, and I will never come back. That $7.50 drink didn't give me pleasure; it ruined my mood and wasted money. I might as well use it for gas. I have tried enough and it has disappointed me enough

    Mango pomelo sago
    Magda N.

    We ordered the mango pomelo sago. Regular sweet... because it's our first time so we wanted to see the default. The hubby normally likes it sweet, and it's even too sweet for him. $7 Nice place to sit and chat. You get the natural sunlight from the big window by the seats. Got it after the katsu place a few shops away.

    Linda L.

    I got a matcha latte with black sesame cream. I enjoyed this very much and definitely want to come back and try more drinks! There are a couple ordering screens at the front and the cashier will also help as well when it's busy. The space is clean and there's a couple tables and chairs to hang out with friends and family. Lots of parking available in the front and back.

    Janet L.

    Went there to meet for business. It's yet another boba related shop. It has so many choices. It was hard to decide what to get. I got the coconut taro pudding drink. It was like a meal. Staff were nice but not enthusiastic. Relax vibe. But I feel cramped in there because the entire ordering station and drink making are basically took up the entire space.

    Amaya P.

    Parking is hard in the front as it's very very limited so park to the side covered parking structure. I walked in and was immediately slammed with an amazing sweet tea and boba scent. They were making boba and it filled the space with such a mouth watering aroma. You can order from a single kiosk on the desk on the side or order in person. My personal favorites are the smashed avocado and the taro. These are very light flavored drinks but they were able to bring out the flavors very well. Now I'm addicted. The ingredients are fresh and you can taste the quality. They're also going through some financial struggles so please go check them out to support!

I ordered a harissa chicken salad and the guy grabbed one directly from the fridge. I took it to-go and didn't think much of it, but when I opened it a little later, I found mold in the bowl (that's after I already started to blend the salad and ate a few bites). I don't know how much mold was there and how long has it been there, but felt very grossed out. Then I took a look at the date on the package - it was packed on 3/8, and today is already 3/12! Unfortunately I was already too far to go back to them. But I just can't believe they were charging a 4-day-old salad $13 pre tax as if it were fresh. I think I'd probably do better with fast food salad. Now I'm also worried about getting sick from the bites I took. I definitely won't come back. Who knows what do they put in their smoothies..: The additional star is for a wrap I got a while ago that tasted good.

    Tiny store but serves big flavors! Amazing!!! Need to go back!!…read more One of the best sugar cane drinks I've ever had! (Better than Vita Cane in my opinion) All natural juices, no added sugars, no preservatives, made fresh daily! Half Cane Half Coco (half sugar cane and half coconut, large, iced, $9 plus tax) The sugar cane flavor was super prominent, and it tasted so good! It also comes with a few pieces of coconut. Glad that they didn't add too much ice. Would have loved to get it without ice, but $15 for a large without ice is quite pricey. They also have a special deal for the day, not sure how often they change the deals, but you could get a medium drink of their special for $5.50 which is not bad! The special for today was the pineapple sugarcane. The menu is not super big, which I like, while still having a good number of options. They have a kiosk for you to order or you can order with the staff. The staff member was nice to give me some recs when I asked what's popular. They also have dehydrated chili mango for sale on the side for $6.50 per container. The inside was nice and clean. I don't recall if there are seats. It's mostly an order-and-go type of place. It wasn't busy when I went around 1pm, and the drink only took 3 minutes to be ready! Lots of parking spaces in the parking lot shared with other businesses. Fresh Cane has its own reserved parking right in front of their store, so that was very convenient! Never knew a store like this existed so close to me!!
