    Velvety jasmine milk tea
    Selene S.

    Gave this spot a try after they recently opened a few weeks ago. It's located in a decent sized plaza so it wasn't hard to find parking. They have two kiosks and you can order at the counter. Ambiance is nice with some seating to chat in some cool AC. I tried their velvety jasmine milk tea ($6.25) with half sugar and less ice. It was decent but nothing special, tasting like regular milk tea. I'm not sure what the velvety part is.

    Cute eating area

    Cute spot! Ample parking. Clean inside with nice seating area to lounge. This isn't a place to bring laptop and hang out though, it's more of a meet and greet, order a drink and enjoy socializing with your friend/s. I ordered a milk tea boba and my husband ordered the midnight sesame milk drink which he really liked. My milk tea was clean and crisp with soft smaller sized fresh boba. It was perfect on a hot day in Arcadia. This is near a high-school so I'm guessing it may be busier when the kiddos are out and about but we came on a peaceful afternoon after lunch. I was able to ask the staff about their drinks and they were very helpful. I'd come back if in the area.

    As soon as I heard TP Tea was opening in Arcadia, I knew I had to stop by because I loved their drinks in other cities. Turns out, the drinks here are just as good as those at the other locations. My partner and I have already visited 3 times within a month. These are the drinks I've tried from here: Velvet Osmanthus Fresh Milk Tea: What a pleasant surprise. The osmanthus gave the tea a wonderfully fragrant floral aroma without being overpowering. Combined with the smooth, creamy fresh milk, the drink tasted rich without feeling too heavy. I also found it surprisingly refreshing for a milk tea drink. Pairs well with both QQ noodles and boba. Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea with boba, pudding, and coffee jelly: I really enjoyed the combination of toppings, and the tea had a strong roasted tea flavor with a subtle floral note. Boba Fresh Milk Tornado: Addicting to drink and absolutely delicious with the creme brulee swirl. Every sip was rich, milky, and creamy, while the boba added a soft, chewy texture. Mango Ice Tea with Aiyu Jelly: Pretty good, but not my favorite drink here. It tasted tropical and fruity. What I mostly liked was the soft, slippery texture of the aiyu jelly. However, the mango pieces in the drink were unripe. While I really enjoyed the drinks, the service could use some improvement. When our drinks are ready, the employees don't call out our order number or name, so the drinks are left sitting on the counter until I ask about them. The staff can also come across as somewhat unfriendly at times.

    Lemon premium jasmine green tea

    There's a private lot to park here. Upon entrance you'll immediately get the scent of milk tea. They have an ordering kiosk! The art with the mascot is cute. The staff are nice. The drinks arrived at a decent time. I got the lemon premium jasmine green tea. It was pretty good. I got the default 100% sweet and it was just fine. You also get a good amount of tea. I'd return to try more!

    |[ h a p p e h ]| I'm so happy I almost cried-- TP Tea is my fav boba chain and they're finally in LA :,) love the properly made TEA in the milk teas and love the variety of toppings and alt milk and sugar-free options. The vast menu and quality ingredients and drinks is what really sells it for me ever since I had my first drink from them in Cupertino years ago! |[ y u m ]| My goto? Tie guan yin with oat milk no sugar and either QQ noodles (must try if you've never had but enjoy boba) or grass jelly if I'm feeling more healthy that day. Amazing aromatic and I can taste the tea. Up to par w the other locations. Our loyalty account is continued from other locations! |[ n o t e z ]| Parking lot out front, beautiful interior, friendly warm service. Keep it up and please do not ever change (except if it's to add new menu items)!

    Visited the new TP Tea location with my wife for their soft opening and first impressions is that the interior is very clean. There's wall seating on each side of the wall + some stools/chairs and tables, then just a middle area for customers waiting for their drinks. A pretty standard design and a different design to the TP Tea locations that I've visited in Rowland Heights and Las Vegas. There's a kiosk to order which is always a great sign to see to avoid long wait times. Alternatively, you can always order via the cashier by the front counter. Parking - Plentiful in a large shared parking lot. We ordered the Velvet Osmanthus Fresh Milk Tea and our orders came out pretty quick and since it was a warm day, our drinks were quite refreshing. One thing I like about TP Tea are their cups designs. Unique to a point and also very sturdy and easy to hold. The drink itself is very tasty. Usually with Osmanthus drinks, the milk overpowers the Osmanthus but not this one, I was able to smell the velvet fragrance and the Osmanthus tea itself, very impressed. Overall, a great addition to Arcadia, TP Tea is known for their higher quality drinks and this place is no different. Excited to revisit again another time to try more options now that there's a TP Tea closer to me.

    Staff were nice, and there was no line on a Sunday at 3pm. There's seating, but it's more of a place to chat. I wouldn't recommend it if you're planning to study or get some work done. I got the Tie Guan Yin milk tea and a regular milk tea (black tea-based), both with boba. The Tie Guan Yin had a more bitter taste, with the tea flavor being stronger than the classic. Personally, I liked the classic more because it was sweeter, but they're both good! Definitely a preference. I'd come back to try a fruit tea next time. My milk tea loving mom gave it a 5 stars! * I drank some before taking the photo of the drinks. The cups came full :) *

    Inside

    I got the iced mango matcha 50% sweet . It was alright . This location is in a shopping plaza in arcadia with a Starbucks around the corner. Inside is modern with low tables and banquets for seating. Service was ok.

    Tie guan yin cheese cream foam
    Courtney A.

    Was really excited to see TP tea local! I tried them in Taichung, Taiwan first last year and loved the tea forward flavor. Tie guan yin is probably my favorite oolong. I got one with the cheese cream top. Very delicious and not too sweet. I kind of wish the cheese cream foam was a bit stronger to balance the drinks bit, but would get again. My husband got the strawberry smoothie. Normally we wouldn't order smoothies or shakes at boba place, but I'm glad we did. It was a hot day and the smoothie hit. Service was fast. Inside was aesthetic.

    Passion Fruit Green Tea  Yuzu Matcha Elixir $7.50
    Kay M.

    Came during their grand opening weekend when they opened at 11:30am. Parking was a bit hard to find. The line was long, but luckily there was shade. Their grand opening promotion was purchase any drink and get one of six drinks for free. Ordered the Yuzu Matcha Elixir for $7.50 and got the Passion Fruit Green Tea for free. Got the drink at 1:15pm, so waited an hour and 45 minutes. The Yuzu Matcha Elixir was good, but it didn't stand out from other boba shops. The Passion Fruit Green Tea was too sweet at 80%. They only gave two sweetness options, 80% or 100%. The promotional offer was nice, but wouldn't go out of the way for this boba shop.

    Congratulations to TP Tea Arcadia!! Today is their grand opening day and BOGO day. I got a little gift from Mr "BOSS" Xie Xie ‍ . The line was super long (5 stores length when I was there at noon) but they are already to tackle. Staffs were friendly and efficient. They were also able to keep the quality of their drinks and I am happy with my usual one - Lychee Aloe Fruit Tea with 30% sweetness. I got a free boba milk tea and the boba is chewy, I love it. KEEP IT UP, TP TEA. New hours 11:30am to 8pm but do check with the Yelp Information for update later.

    Emi B.

    This spot serves solid tea, and I really appreciated that they offer non-caffeinated options. The shop is currently closing early at 6 PM because of their soft opening phase, but hopefully, they extend those hours soon. Because of the soft opening, plenty of people are stopping by to check it out for the first time, and I saw a lot of families visiting while I was there. Given the lively atmosphere and steady flow of customers, it is not really the ideal place if you are looking to sit down and study.

    Mango yogurt drink ? I THINK
    Carmen C.

    My friends and I came here after kbbq LOL so imagine walking in smelling like BBQ MEATS. the place used to be tastea if I remember correctly, the plaza in itself has lots of parking and many other food options to choose from. There are seatings inside but if it was packed it wouldn't be as spacious. It's pretty dainty and cute vibes when walking in. We ordered kiosk and I ordered a mango yogurt drink and my friend recommended less sweet because apparently 120 % is super sweet but so is 100% and I have to say yea I agree. I got 80% and it tasted like 100. What I suggest is probably ask how sweet their percentages mean OR bring / have someone familiar to TP tea and help / guide you. Overall great experience, would definitely need to try more do their teas but I would come back / recommend!

    I've been here so much lately because it's just THAT good. I love the creamy pineapple tart and the…read morepineapple milk tea. The pineapple tart is more like a dessert drink (I don't think it has caffeine), and it's probably one of my top 3 favorite drinks. It tastes like a pineapple milkshake without being blended. I've also tried the mango tart, which is very tasty as well. I've been here a few times already and service is usually pretty helpful and friendly. Regarding ambiance, this place is mostly for to-go drinks. Yes, there is a little bit of seating, but not enough to be a hangout spot. Happy to have such a great tea shop as an option in Arcadia, especially when I need a sweet and creamy treat!

    The first time I had ChiCha San Chen was at the San Gabriel location, when it was still new. I…read morewaited a very long time in line for a peach drink, and it was genuinely one of the best boba drinks I've had. I hadn't gone back since because I'm never in San Gabriel, but when I heard that Chicha San Chen was opening in Arcadia, I was super excited, since I live near the new Arcadia location. Since ChiCha had a stellar reputation for their teas and quality of drinks, and since I'd had such a delicious drink at the San Gabriel location, even when they were absolutely packed and SWAMPED, I assumed Arcadia would maintain the same quality. Unfortunately, I was sorely and utterly mistaken to think that. I first visited Chicha San Chen in Arcadia on Halloween 2025, and it wasn't super busy despite it being a brand new location. That should have been my first warning sign, that there were many better boba spots to spend my hard-earned money on. I can think of at least eight different boba spots off the top of my head within a 1-mile radius of ChiCha, where I can be guaranteed a drink that at least tastes like tea. Depressingly, I had the misfortune of spending my Halloween and my cash on a dong ding oolong tea at ChiCha instead. The Ding ding oolong tea, despite being one of the best sellers at the time, was very watered down. Oolong tea is a very strong and fragrant brew, especially when you choose lower sugar and ice levels like I do, but somehow ChiCha managed to mess it up. It wasn't just me as well, my friend also ordered the Ding dong oolong tea without cream, and he agreed that it was watered down. Adding to the experience was the fact that there was absolutely nowhere to sit, despite the location being pretty empty besides people picking up their drinks and leaving. After that absolutely amazing first impression of Arcadia's ChiCha San Chen, I have avoided this location like the plague! Sadly, I received a bubble milk tea as a gift this Friday. Someone had asked me what I'd wanted from another nearby boba shop, but unbeknownst to me, had changed their mind and gone to ChiCha. I spotted the drink on my desk, saw the ChiCha packaging, and prayed against reality that they had gone to a location besides the Arcadia one, especially since the presumably TEA drink looked suspiciously WHITE. Still, I held out hope that maybe, the sad state of my past oolong tea had been an unfortunate fluke; perhaps I'd come on an off-day, and maybe they'd improved since then. Alas, my spirit of good faith was for naught. I should have know from the color, or lack thereof, of the drink. Despite being a bubble milk TEA, presumably using black tea like most traditional milk teas do, the drink is BARELY OFF-WHITE. However, don't let the vague beige-ness fool you. That beige is not from tea; it's from the brown sugar syrup that's mixed with the boba. The drink looks like those brown sugar boba MILKS that used to be so very popular in the mid-2010s, and boy, does it sure taste like it. I was looking forward to some caffeine, but at that point I wasn't even sure if they put any tea in the drink. It was watered down, I tasted almost no tea, and somehow it was worse than the Halloween oolong tea. It's funny because I could literally tell which location the person who gave me the drink went to just based on the taste, or should I say, the lack of taste, of the bubble milk tea. I asked them later to confirm that yes, they had gone to the Arcadia location. I LOVE milk tea, but I really don't like just milk, so I ended up throwing the drink away after I was out of sight of the person who gave me the drink. I only drank about a quarter of the drink. Honestly, it was genuinely impressive how a renowned boba tea chain can't figure out how to make a basic bubble milk tea properly where you can actually taste the tea. However, I will give them props for one thing -- the boba itself, as in the actual tapioca pearls, were perfect. I understand ChiCha is known for their fruit drinks, so I wonder if that's why I don't see more reviews saying the tea is watered down at this location -- perhaps people got fruit teas and those fruit teas were good. Which begs the question: if your location can only (presumably) make fruit teas decently, then why bother having any milk teas in the menu? Boba drinks are expensive, it really sucks to pay so much for a drink, expect an at least DECENT milk tea, and getting watered-down, subpar disappointment instead. What a shame; this location seems to be the only ChiCha location that's like this. I will not be going back, why bother coming here when I can go to literally any of the other million boba shops around the SGV for a basic decent milk tea??

The quality of their teas are also regarded as high-quality as you can taste the genuine tea fragrances in the drink despite the added milk or toppings. They have unique tea flavors and toppings that differentiates them from so many other boba houses in the 626 area. 1. Pistachio Coconut Velvet (5/5) A summer/seasonal drink that is worth raving about. It's super refreshing from the coconut water, yet creamy and luxurious from the velvety pistachio cream. They are generous with the pistachio bits that they coat on top of the pistachio foam. I devoured this drink it less then 2 minutes and almost went back for a 2nd cup. 2. Tea-cube Special (5/5) This is a simple, yet, satisfying cup of traditional milk tea. It's made from a black tea base + milk + tea-cube topping. The tea-cube is made from fresh tea then made into a jelly cubes. Super creative, yet delicious. It pairs well with almost any milk tea based drinks. 3. Mango Pomelo Sago (4/5) If you like mangos and like fruity drinks, then this is a good choice. It comes with sago toppings, which pairs well with the drink. When it's fresh and icy, it's super refreshing. However, if you wait too long and it melts, the drink can get a bit too sweet. 4. Osmanthus Rice Milk Tea (4.5/5) This drink is a Jasmine tea base with osmanthus rice paste, milk and crystal boba. You certainly can taste the osmanthus flavor. My favorite thing to do is get it with their house-special tea-cubes. My go-to boba place whenever I am in the area.
