    Rose Vanilla Green Milk Tea
    Lauren F.

    It was my first time coming to this location. Street parking can be fairly easy depending on the day and time you go. The staff was really nice and friendly. The service was quick. I got the rose vanilla green milk tea and it was really yummy! It has always been my go to. I like that they have the favorites list to help. I had stumbled upon the free upgrade day, which I believe was Tuesday. The store was clean and cutely decorated. I will definitely be back.

    Green milk tea with honey boba - just okay
    Alice Y.

    I was a bit confused about how to order here, but the employee was super friendly and helpful. The window near the door is actually the pickup window. Head into the back of the shop to place your order at the register. I'm not sure how sweetness customization works here; I just asked for 75% sugar which was marked as "light". The green milk tea with honey boba ($5.50) came in a huge 24 oz cup. It tasted alright. The tea flavor was very light, and I couldn't really tell that it was green tea. You get much more tea than boba, but I suppose that explains the low price. The boba was big, chewy, and soft - not mushy, but way softer than I prefer. I wasn't getting honey or brown sugar flavor. It tasted more like white sugar to me, but the flavor penetrated the pearls to an impressive degree. There was also a dispenser offering free samples of strawberry lychee green tea. It was pretty sweet and had a classic strawberry lychee flavor, though it tasted more like juice than tea to me.

    Hot plum lemon green tea

    When you first walk in, they have free tea samples in the middle of the store. How awesome is that!! I loved the vibe of sipping on free tea as I decided what to get. Service was quick and staff was kind. I got a hot plum lemon green tea less sweet. Even with less sweet, the drink was still just as flavorful! It was perfect to drink on a cold walk in downtown Monrovia. A cool deal they have in is this fridge of discount drinks! They have green tea, black tea, and some premade drinks at a lower cost. If I noticed it when I first walked in, I would've bought there in a heart beat

    Tropical Trio Green Milk Tea (25% sweetener)
    Nicole L.

    Tpumps reminds me so much of my high school days :') very nostalgic. I came back here because I got a free birthday reward... but I cannot remember the last time I had tpumps! This location is conveniently less than 5 mins away from my job. I feel like the drinks at tpumps tastes very artificial... heavy amounts of sweetener is added and I can't really taste the tea much. I asked to get it remade and asked for 25% sweetness.. & it was perfect. I'm a tea connoisseur, and their tea tasted a bit low quality but it wasn't too bad. For the price point, you get what you pay for. Customer service here is always great ... they always make sure you leave enjoying your drink :-)

    I LOVE this location. I am always greeted when I walk in. I love the flyers they have on their windows because it helps keep customers informed. Today, I saw a flyer for a cookie dough milk tea and I wanted to try it so bad! But I like to stick to what I know. On this particular occasion, I ordered my usual order which is a brown sugar milk tea with easy mini boba (new) and less sweet. When I got my drink, I did not know the new mini boba was white. I was not a fan. The barista who made my drink could clearly tell there was something wrong. I told her I did not like the mini boba they used (after I tried it) and she said she would remake it. The drink itself was perfectly fine. I was just expecting the mini boba to be honey mini boba, not white. It does taste different to me. Thankfully, the barista fixed my drink and I left a happy customer. I appreciated that she did not give me a difficult time for not enjoying the mini boba in my drink. I also love how they always have samples you can try when you come. ALSO I love their fridge adjacent to where you order. Freshly pre made drinks. I don't know any other boba place doing something like that. Thats how I found out about their Macadamia milk tea which is also SUPER good! Will always come here EVERY Tuesday...ifykyk!

    Freestyle drink from Employee!

    I came in tonight not know exactly what to get so I told the lovely employee if she can make me any drink since I didn't know exactly what to get. She asked if I was allergic to anything or if I didn't like certain things. I let her know and she did me an amazing drink! Love the drink and the customer service. I just want to say she's an amazing employee!! Unfortunately I didn't get her name.

    Good quality boba and fresh tasting ingredients. This Tpumps location is along Myrtle Ave in Old Town Monorovia. Similar to the first location in SGV (Pasadena), I've always liked the different options Tpumps offered. I went with a green tea mango & passionfruit slushie with honeyboba ($5). The flavor was good. You can taste both the mango and the passionfruit in the drink. It was a little bit fragrant which I can be a little sensitive too but it wasnt too bad in this drink. The boba was smooth and had a slight chew. Pretty much the way I like it. Service was friendly and even as busy as they were, the workers helped us with a smile. We will for sure be back again. I gotta try the almond roca finally... Plenty of free street parking out front.

    Guava Peach Tea with Boba
    Vicky W.

    Location: This Boba tea place is located in Old Town Monrovia on Myrtle Ave. Very cozy looking but the sign was kinda small so you have to look closely. Customer Service: The guy who served me was very welcoming and friendly. Repeated my order to confirm he heard me right which was very thoughtful. The drink was ready in a timely manner. It was a pleasant experience as a first timer. Parking: Street parking and public parking almost every other street blocks. Weekdays should be earlier than weekends street parking. Food/Drink: I ordered Guava Peach Tea with Boba at 25% sweetness and no iced. It was quite refreshing at a rainy afternoon but I would love to taste the guava a bit more in my tea. Covid-19 Precautions: There is a plastic divider at the entrance on a small table, the guy who served me was masked on and with gloves too. Hand sanitizer was provided. Pretty good.

    Good service, nice drinks, but they always give so little boba. Love that they always have a sample to try. It helps with their wide range of flavors. Ambiance is chill vibes, the wait is rarely ever longer than 10 minutes, even on their busy days. Price is also on the "cheaper" end compared to lots of boba places today.

    My bag ripped and my drink fell. They put way too much ice in their drinks. There is hardly any tea.
    Derrick L.

    Too much ice and not enough tea. The tea is watered down. When you go to the tea place you go for their tea not for a cup full of ice. Oh and the bag they put my drink in ripped on the way to my car.

    Local boba shop in Monrovia and also Pasadena. They have tons of flavor mix options. This time I tried their sample Lavender, pineapple, lychee mix and it was so good I just ordered that. They allow you to pick your sweetness and ice levels. The service is quick and kind. Ambiance is clean but there's no seating so it's just a pick up n go spot. I think $5 for 24oz is pretty good these days, actually cheap for some. You can grab a drink and bring to the Look movie theater

    I have always heard great things about tpumps over the years but I recently just tried it and wow!!! I love this boba shop and will definitely be coming back whenever I get the chance. I love how we can combine different flavors! I tried the Neapolitan milk tea and it was really good. My friend got a brown sugar with lychee milk tea and surprisingly that was really good too.

    Roy H.

    Much better than the bay area one. The drinks tasted nice and had good flavor, which was a definite plus. However, the boba was very forgetful. I remember the boba being super honey flavored, but these just tasted plain. Sadly that was the only redeeming quality I had remembered about Tpumps. So many better choices now, it feels like Tpumps is still stuck in 2015 sadly.

As I started drinking mine I noticed it was more like a slushy than a smoothie. Whoever made it really screwed it up and put so much ice it literally tasted like water with some chunks of coconut inside and my friend's was the same. Should we have gone back and asked them to remake the drinks? Maybe. But we had already waited about 10 minutes for the drinks to be made since it was busy and didn't want to wait longer for the staff to redo it. Maybe the employee who made our drinks was new and in training? Anyways we ended up throwing our smoothies (slushies) away and going to Erewhon for smoothies instead. This was quite disappointing because I had always loved stopping by there for a drink on a hot day and supporting a local business. If you are going to visit Tru Bowl I recommend you try their açaí bowls. I may give them another shot with the drinks but for the time being I see myself only ordering the açaí bowls.

My fondest memories of Friday nights after school was walking around here and getting some honey stick samples, checking out the produce, and enjoying the smell of kettle corn. The farmers market evolved from a dozen tents of goods/local produce, kettle corn, petting zoo and a few food stalls to such a bustling huge community of independent owners showcasing their homemade, handmade, unique, and local items and edible goodies. Now there's inflatable rides and bouncers, a whole section of food stalls and food trucks, live music and performers, balloon animal makers, and the whole place stretches multiple blocks. The petting zoo became bigger and has pony rides, the kettle corn now has two stalls to make sure you don't miss them, and the local produce are still there with their free samples. The one thing I realized is how prices skyrocketed, you can expect to spend somewhere around 20-30$ for something at a homemade/handmade stall but the story and history they'll tell you about what your buying makes it worth the buy usually. The free samples will lure you in and you'll feel like if you don't buy something you're missing out! Even the stores that have been around for decades are open later than other days to accommodate curious passers. Unfortunately, it's sad to see the old places have gone. But it's also exciting to see new places emerge and grow. It's now a rare occasion for us to visit since it can be a bit expensive if you want to eat, play on the rides, and go into the petting zoo.
