    An awesome Torotea location! The location is definitely less crowded than the OG Diamond Bar location. Parking is plentiful in the front of the business. Staff immediately welcomed us in and offered a sample of their location exclusive Pinewood Pure Tea. The aesthetics are nice at this location as compared to the others. The seating is all along the hallway and the vibe is much more chill here. We opted to try the Pinewood Pure Tea as the sample tasted really good! We received the drink within minutes. Took some time to relax and wind down inside Torotea. It was nice and cool inside on these hot summer days. That Pinewood Pure Tea was top tier! Shout outs to the staff for the hospitality and service! This location is solid! Good vibes! ( ^_^)b

    My sister and I finally tried Torotea and we were so happy we did! We got a total of three drinks but was only able to take a picture of the Uva Milk Tea with Black Tea Tapiochi. Their Popcorn Milk Tea is so unique in flavor but surprisingly it was very good. We will for sure get this drink again next time. It was very busy when we came on a Sunday past lunch time. There were plenty of seating inside the shop which is a big plus for a very busy place.

    Been wanting to try this Boba place for a while now. Finally got to stop by while I was in the area! The weight wasn't too long when we came on a Saturday afternoon around 3 PM. The staff was helpful since it was our first time here. I ordered their popcorn milk tea with brown sugar tapiochi since it was their signature drink. I wasn't sure what to expect with the flavor, but I thoroughly enjoyed my drink and wished it came in a larger size. The space was pretty small at the San Marino location. It was clean and cute. Looking forward to visiting the new Santa Ana location soon!

    I absolutely love the drinks at Torotea. Their drinks taste fresh and distinctive. They look aesthetic too. You can tell that they use high quality tea and ingredients. A must-try is the Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi. This is a rich blend of assam black tea and creamy milk with a toasty buttery popcorn twist. It is my husband's go-to drink. Another drink I would recommend is the Cassia Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi, my go-to drink. This drink has a comforting aroma of cinnamon with the maltiness of a milk tea and the creaminess of a latte. Their tapiochi is made in-house daily and is super delicious. This topping feels like boba, mochi, and jelly all in one. The texture of it is nice and enjoyable to chew. It also seems to pair well with basically any drink. Definitely check this spot out if you have not yet. It is unlike any of the other boba shops around. There are plenty of parking spots directly in front of the shop.

    Found my new favorite tea spot! The line was a little long for a Friday afternoon. Torotea does something really clever instead of the usual boba, they pair their teas with flavored jellies, and it completely changes the experience. We tried three drinks and loved all of them: Mulberry Oolong with Osmanthus Jelly is floral and fragrant, the jelly added a delicate sweetness. Cassia Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Jelly is rich, comforting, and the brown sugar jelly melts perfectly into the milk tea. Ember Milk Tea with Barley Jelly is smoky depth from the tea with a subtle nutty chew from the barley jelly. The jellies are so delicious. The seating area is pretty limited and the space feels a bit narrow/tight, so it might not be ideal if you're looking to sit and linger. Best for grabbing your drink to go or a quick sit down.

    Second time visiting this location, and it was just as good as I remembered! I hadn't been here in a few months, and it looks like they've expanded their menu. They also added more outdoor seating, which is nice since the interior is pretty small. Parking is street parking only, but I've never had any trouble finding a spot. Emily, the cashier, was incredibly friendly and helpful. She took the time to walk us through the new seasonal drinks and menu additions, which made it much easier to decide what to order. Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapioca ($7.85) - My go-to drink! - Perfect level of sweetness without being overpowering - Rich, creamy, nutty flavor - Brown sugar tapioca had the perfect soft and chewy texture (only wished it was cut a bit smaller) Pinewood Milk Tea ($6.85) - Similar to the Popcorn Milk Tea, but with a lighter, more subtle nutty flavor - Still delicious, though I personally prefer the Popcorn Milk Tea Jasmine Oolong Milk Tea ($6.85) - A great option if you're looking for something lighter and more refreshing Everything was made well, and the service made the experience even better. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. Love that they still do daily samples!

    My new favorite tea spot! Rarely does a tea spot live up to the hype, but Toro tea has done it! We came in on a Saturday, and surprisingly it wasn't too crowded! Everyone talks about the Popcorn Milktea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi. It sounds a little unusual at first, but it ended up being SO good! The black tea with the buttery popcorn twist somehow works so well together! I usually don't like boba, but I'm a fan of their tapiochi! The texture is soft yet springy, and the best part is, it holds up really well the next day (unlike boba)! We also tried a few other drinks like their Mulberry Oolong with Osmanthus Jelly, Calamansi Oolong, Ember Milktea, and Gardenia Oolong. The Gardenia Oolong comes in a larger glass bottle as a pure tea. We enjoyed all of these drinks as well, but the Popcorn Milktea was our fave!

    Having tried their other locations in Chino Hills & Diamond Bar, I had to check this location out. First impressions is that their shop is very clean. This shop compared to the other locations is that this shop is more vertical. Parking - Free street parking, no designated parking lot. Staff is quick, friendly, and very casual overall. They'll call out your name when your order is ready, very quick even when it's packed. My go to is always the Popcorn Milk Tea which is a drink that you really can't get anywhere else. Very refreshing and one of their signature and most popular drinks. Highly recommend. My wife usually gets the Cassia but this time around, she tried the Koan-im Oolong Milk Tea which is just another name for tieguanyin or iron buddha type drink. Very refreshing as well and easy to sip. Highly recommend if you want a more floral type drink. Very happy about our experience with Torotea overall, one of the best shops with very high quality drinks. I hope one day they can add drinks with bigger cups, it's just too addicting!

    3 stars After hearing some friends rave about Torotea, I decided to pick up some drinks to try. The service is spotless! The cashier knew his tea and really helped me pick my drinks. There were samples to try, which I believe gets rotated. These were the drinks I got: Pinewood Milk Tea ($6.85): It was good. It tasted like a lighter version of earl grey. 3/5 stars Koan-Im Oolong Milk Tea ($6.85): Also good and very light. This one was supposed to be roasted, but it didn't really stand out. 3/5 stars Both teas I got were quite light. I genuinely don't know if it really lives up to any of the tea shops in Alhambra, but it was decent. Price is on the pricier side. Customer service was great though. Parking is street parking, which is free. I'll come back to try other drinks with their toppings. But for now 3 stars....

    I don't understand the hype with this place.... It was just okay. I got blossom black tea. It was just slightly better than an average black tea.

    Expect to wait in line, but there is cold cucumber mint water available outside so you can cool off while you wait - such a caring and thoughtful touch. I was surprised that all the drinks with oolong was an additional 15-min wait. Since it's the base of so many of their drinks, why would that not be constantly brewing? There are seats inside and outside, but it can feel a bit crowded. All the drinks on the menu taste refreshing, unique, healthy, and upscale. There's a natural feel to the inside decor.

    Very cute boba shop! Boba barista answered all the questions i had about the menu and was very patient. They have street parking in front of the stoor Jasmine oolong milk tea 4/5 it is caffeinated and was the perfect pick me up for studying. The milk tea flavor was light. I got it with black tea tapioca and this really stood out to me. I reallyyyy like the black tea tapioca!! It reminds me of when my mom used to make it at home Popcorn Milktea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi 4/5. Imagine yourself walking through Disneyland and you smell popcorn. This is what the drink reminds me of, the popcorn flavor is very very subtle and not overpowering. It's great to try but i would personally try other drinks when i come back Oojicha Einspanner 5/5!!!!! So yummy!!!!! I would get this drink again!! A little grainy but it has a great warm and nutty flavor. FYI For the einspannser you can't make any adjustments

    my refreshing Zesty Oolong
    Ada C.

    First was greeted by one of the friendly staff with a sample of Zesty Oolong. I was debating to order other items but that sample just left me with such impression and I had to order it (perfect sweetness and perfect ice) While waiting, my husband found me and ask what am i doing in a spa needless to say, the ambiance is definitely a world apart from other places. To me Zesty Oolong is similar to a HK lemon tea but this is much more elevated.

I usually ask for less ice and 0% percent sugar since it's already sweetened with honey. The oolong is fragrant, smooth and tastes high quality, making every sip a treat. This drink instantly brightens my day. The staff are friendly and ordering from the self-service kiosk makes it quick and easy. It's definitely a grab and go spot. The only downside is that the shop is tucked toward the back of the plaza, somewhat hidden and parking can be difficult during busy times. I usually have better luck finding street parking.

There was a steady stream of people coming and leaving at all times. We ordered from the self serve kiosk. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks when there were only 3 people ahead of us. The drinks were watered down in comparison to other places despite being less ice for two drinks. The hojicha latte with brown sugar pearls is only available on weekends. The tea taste and milk didn't mesh together well. Oolong tea with pudding also tasted more like water than tea. The pudding was overwhelming. It is similar (if not the same) as ones you get from japanese convenience stores. For the price point, I would have expected berger taste and quality. The wait wasn't worth it for what was being served. I don't think I'd come back to this location but might give it another try elsewhere.

I know one thing that I disliked about the Saint Gabriel locations. They got rid of the mobile ordering. Not sure about the situation here in Alhambra, but I was nearby and decided just to pop in. Or still in the morning so it wasn't much of a line and it was a weekday. I originally thought they would be an entrance from the back alley but everything is only from the front Entrance on Main Street. The drink I got was more of a traditional tea for beverage. And it was really good. Drinks are a little more expensive than some in the area. The store is pretty big so there's lots of tables and seating inside. The team members are all really nice And once everything is made, they will call you. That's when you can pick up your drink. This probably wouldn't be my go to all the time just because it's more pricey, but if I'm looking for a treat, then I would definitely come here. There's plenty of parking in the back structures off of first street.
