    Torotea might just be my new favorite drink spot! The inside was super unique, felt like you were in a clay house, and the service was great. I told the lady it was my first time and she recommended trying a sample of the Jasmine oolong tea, which tasted amazing so I ordered one with Osmanthus jelly, which she recommended would pair nicely with the Jasmine oolong tea ($7.34). Definitely have to come back to try more drinks and some of the other toppings

    I enjoy their tapiochi a lot, it's a mix between boba and mochi as the name implies, so it's a softer texture than boba. This is what makes Torotea unique, along with their high quality tea. I'm personally not a huge fan of their popcorn milk tea, but I think that's because I don't like popcorn or "buttery" notes. I'm a huge fan of their misty oolong milk tea, which they say is malty, roasty, and creamy. It's the ideal nutty milk tea that I envision. Their jasmine oolong milk tea is more floral so sometimes I go for that instead. I'll happily go to Torotea every time I'm in Diamond Bar, but I hope they open in OC soon! I'll be at Torotea more often if they come down.

    Matcha Latte with Matcha Cold Foam
    Caes F.

    "a luxurious mix of our pure and umami Japanese matcha embraced by our smooth and velvety vanilla cloud, frothed freshly in house" Now DOUBLE the Matcha latte with Matcha Cold Foam Cream. Matcha Einspanner was so yummy and matcha concentrated that I enjoyed it very much. Torotea has well crafted drinks and I appreciated the samples!

    Had to make my 1000th review count, so naturally I chose Torotea, the place that keeps my tea addiction thriving. I usually hit their San Marino spot, but this location still delivered the goods. The shop's a bit small inside, but service was nice. Grabbed my ride-or-die Koan-Im Oolong Latte and paired it with a donut from my favorite donut shop like I was assembling the perfect duo for a late night snack. The tea was lightly sweetened perfectly to my liking, smooth, and clearly crafted by someone who respects tea leaves more than I respect my sleep schedule. The cloud top was basically dalgona candy foam and felt like a bonus dessert after finishing the drink. Even with a lot of people waiing, service moved fast, in & out in about 7 mins. Quality tea, speedy service, and enough creamy foam happiness to make a milestone review feel deserved!! Highly recommend!!!

    Although my previous 3 star review of this place, i still think its a decent place to come so from time to time I would still come but it is just not a 5 star boba shop overall including services. And trust me, i have been to hundreds if not thousands of boba shop including international. This time around, I went there to order a popcorn milk tea as usual without ice. First they came out having ice in there...fine little mistakes , no biggie. I told them about it and the server apologized and took it in for people inside to change it. Good service right there. Now when it came back out, the cup is wet and i saw a chuck of ice was gone...AND milk tea ( not sure if the wetness if the cup is water or milk tea ) but regardless #1 they didnt even give an effort to clean or wipe down the cup for me after taking out the ice #2 they obviously didnt refill any milk tea back #3 the main reason for me not having ice was i dont want my milk tea to be water down by ice overtime and it was there with ice for a few minutes, im sure it watered down some so they didnt even bother to fill back the missing tea. Come on torotea, your shop is already overhype in the beginning but you cannot even do some common sense basic service now?

    High quality tea shop near the DB post office. Located in a shopping center with good parking available. Inside you'll find a nice seating/waiting area with a kind of South western decor - kind of like Sedona AZ. Server is very friendly and welcoming. The drinks here seem to be better quality than other places. The drinks have a good tea flavor as the base. We had the Dalgona Cloud Top Kian-im Oolong Latte and the Ember Milktea with barley Jelly. Both were very good, with the Dalgona being more on the sweeter side. The drinks here high quality and creative.

    I am so glad I stumbled upon this tea spot!!! It is so unique and amazing. I love teas but I don't like sugary flavors. Everything about torotea is perfection because nothing tastes super sugary here! My favorite has to be calamansi oolong with their passionfruit tapiochi! Yummm!!! I can have this every single day (but i don't) I also loveeee thei aesthetic! 10/10!!

    Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Mochi
    Katrina N.

    It's been a while since I've been here. Decided to make a pit stop on a Friday afternoon since it was traffic. It's just as I remembered it. It has such a chill and modern vibe. You can find there menu on a projected screen facing the wall where you order (which can be hard to see once you walk in). There is also a menu up against the walk where the self ordering kiosks are (but doesn't seem to be working). I ordered the popcorn milk tea with brown sugar tapiochi and tried the jasmine matcha latte. The popcorn milk tea with brown sugar tapiochi was just as I remembered it. It was delicious. Nice and toasty, just like popcorn. You get that milk tea taste as well. And the brown sugar tapiochi balances the toasty flavor you get from the popcorn. The jasmine matcha latte tasted like straight up matcha. Didn't really get any taste if the jasmine. But I guess that's cos matcha is such a strong flavor. I wish they had an option for light ice cos it seemed like the drinks were full of ice. The guy who took my order was nice. Received great service from him. He was very friendly. As well as knowledgeable about the menu when I asked for drink recommendations.

    4.5 stars : I understand why I've been hearing about Torotea more lately. They do have different flavors with unique additions. Tried the Ember tea with Barley "boba." It really reminds me of grass jelly, but with a lighter taste - very nice. Also tried the Dalgona tea with the cloud (Himalayan salt) and that one edged out the other as the favorite for me. You can tell they're using good quality ingredients. Came on Sunday afternoon and there was no line, although plenty of people came in and out - popular place! It seems like it's more of a "to-go" place since there are no tables. But there is a "bench" along the walls for people to sit as they wait for their orders. My go-to place is closer to home, but these flavors are unique and worth trying out. I need to try the popcorn tea - apparently that's a popular one.

    Ordered the Cassia Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi. The drink is not too sweet with a strong malty flavor which I am a fan of! Also the tapiochi is chewy and sweet which is a good compliment to the drink. Overall, service was very fast even with a lot of people ahead of me. There's benches that wrap around the front of the shop for seating but not much.

    Popcorn milk tea and dalgona quan in tea was good! I really love the mochi grass jelly and the place was aestheticly pleasing altho small. Would love to try jasmine matcha next time.

    The Tapiochi toppings are really good!! I really enjoy the bite it gives. I got the black tea tapiochi and it was a subtle flavor but the texture was super nice. The location has a few seating options and the worker at the cashier was really nice. It's in a plaza so there are parking options.

    Koan-Im Oolong Milk Tea w/Brown Sugar Tapioca Mochi.
    Truc T.

    One of my current absolute favorites. Normally Milk Teas at my age aren't my go-to, but I'll always make the exception for Torotea. My favorite drink so far is the Koan-Im Oolong Milk Tea (Less Sweet & Regular Ice) w/Brown Sugar Tapioca Mochi. Just the right amount of floral notes & roasted flavor without being too sweet & the brown sugar mochi texture has all the best part about grass jelly & boba all in one. Regular Ice is also just enough ice so that your drink stays refreshingly cold & I actually end up with no leftover ice normally. Parking isn't too bad, vibe is super relaxed, sort of spa vibe with relaxed lighting. Whenever I'm somewhat close, I always drop by for a quick boba! I'm excited for the OC locations later this year/next!

I felt awake after sipping. It's TASTY, fresh coffee! (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring Card or Contactless Payment.) I arrived at Grid Coffee (Diamond Bar) on Thursday (around 9:17AM). Parking is easy. The lot is spacious and big. However, this business has awful visibility; it's very easy for new guests to overlook it. But like a strongly guarded secret, this business is POPULAR. Staff is efficient and amicable. Staff is polite and knowledgeable, but Staff is also curt and very focused on crafting their coffee. My coffee took four minutes and 26 seconds. As mentioned, I ordered the Madagascar Vanilla Caffe Latte ($7 - Large - Iced). When thoroughly stirred, the coffee's true flavor blossoms. The potency becomes balanced, and the taste of vanilla & roasted coffee lithely intertwine. The aftertaste is reminiscent of a smoky caramel. There's utility and personality in this freshly brewed coffee. It's easy to understand why this spot is so popular. On ambiance, Grid Coffee (Diamond Bar) is a study/work paradise. Unlike the tiny outside, the interior is unexpectedly spacious. There's about six electrical outlets. There's also customer internet with password; details are in small text on the counter's menu. The location also has about four tables, one long wooden table, and five mini portable tables. In addition, Grid Coffee (Diamond Bar) is clean, well-maintained, and well-ventilated. There's a gender neutral restroom in the back, and the music is chill & calm. The location is filled with working college students whispering about Harvard and preparing for the future. Overall, I found unexpected joy at Grid Coffee (Diamond Bar). The coffee is affordable, good quality, and functional. The location is comfortable and calm. If searching for a wonderful study/work spot, this is a very easy recommendation. 4.8 out of 5!

For the drink, I ended up getting the banana latte. Been on a streak of getting that lately so wanted to compare with other stores. I didn't get a lot of banana in the taste. At least it had an espresso shot for the caffeine fix and did not taste like the artificial banana. Nothing special there and stand out. For the interior, they had a few seating they primarily accommodated a few groups of four and two. I was able to grab a bench seat that had an outlet. However, there wasn't enough space for my laptop and the items I ordered. WiFi was available but it had a 90 minute limit. The store had a moderate noise level and stayed busy throughout the time that I was there. The service on the order was quick and they do bring it out to you. The store also has their own house espresso which was a medium dark roast. American Express is accepted as a payment option here. Overall, it was a decent work spot. If I come back, I'd prefer to try another drink and hope other pastries are available. Would recommend the biscoff cheesecake for those that want something sweet and the house coffee beans for those that like medium roasts.
