Yin Yang Tea has a wide selection of milk teas and slushies. They do a really nice job customizing drinks to your desired sweetness and they do it dairy free! My usual orders include: Vietnamese coffee, taro milk tea, cookies & crème, and jasmine milk tea. I've never been disappointed. The staff are kind and helpful, genuinely nice folks. The place is small, quiet, and family friendly. Most people get their drinks to go, but you can get cozy at a table and play one of the many board games they provide. Finally, there's a place to get good boba in NW Pasadena! I hope they're here to stay!

Delicious Vietnamese coffee and thai tea. I had grass jelly which was yum with my thai tea. Super nice staff and let us hang out with our breakfast. I would come back again and try their different teas. And definitely getting the Vietnamese coffee again.

Delicious!! I love milk tea boba, this place does it perfectly! They have tons of other flavors too! Lots of cute plants, a cute post it note art wall, and yummy snacks like fresh cookies and spam musubi. Music is from the last year or two, it's nice and cool inside on a hot day, and there's lots of plants!

Amanda W.

There were plenty of parkings. The service was great. But not having a dairy option is insane to me. I ordered the black tea for my friend and Vietnamese coffee for me to go. I didn't like the Vietnamese coffee since she put a nondairy choice. It tasted horrible. I usually love the Vietnamese coffee but the nondairy milk made it taste rather strange not in a good way. I might come back for ice tea or something but not for Vietnamese coffee.

Since it's national Bubble Tea day, I decided to try a new Boba spot in my area. I picked my kids up from school and headed over. As soon as we opened the door, the girl working yelled out at me saying that she is not taking any more customers and that she is backed up. Mind you there were five people inside. She then continued to say something under her breath and when I asked her what she said, she told me to leave and goodbye, and to complain to her manager about her. I was in complete shock. The fact that there were other patrons and she continued to show her ass in front of them is beyond me. I have never in my entire life encountered someone more rude and miserable than this girl. Memo to the owner, if I were you, I would try to hire friendly people to work at your establishment. I would hate for you guys to have a bad reputation because of one miserable employee. Needless to say, I will continue to frequent other local boba spots with better customer service.

They stayed open even when they were closing for us. Truly delicious and very kind and patient people. Love the sunset passion w black tea + lychee

Trying a new style for the review: Perks: Easy Parking, Free WiFi, and strong AC so its nice for a hot summer day (which we have been seeing a lot of) Downsides: No Public Bathroom so you are limited in the amount of time you can spend there and only 4 tables I tried the Passion Fruit Jasmine Tea (50% sweet) with the aiyu jelly and the seasonal Basil Herbal Tea. I liked that it included 1 free topping with the drink but the sweetness was overpowering for the Passion Fruit Tea. The worker was nice enough to dilute the drink out further. I think their flavors are created using the flavored syrup pumps. Overall, I think this is a middle of the road type boba place but can offer a nice place to get some work / studying done

Came on a Saturday and ordered the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba. The drink was solid and the boba was very chewy. The drink was a bit too sweet for my liking but I can't complain as I didn't adjust the sweetness - I'd opt for 75% next time. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality as the shop was located in an unassuming strip mall. They have plenty of options to choose from. Prices are average, and they have double deals which is around $1 off for buying 2 drinks in the same category. The workers are quick and friendly. There are lots of tables inside to stay and hang out, though a downside is that they don't have restrooms available (you can go to Food4Less).

This simple yet delicious boba place is a refreshing spot to hit up on a hot day! Inside is a brightly lit, minimal area with lots of great drinks to choose from. They often have daily specials that are discounted - for example, Thai Tea Tuesdays. You can also get 10% off by checking in on Yelp. I went here on a Tuesday afternoon and there was no wait, no fuss, just a girl grabbing a couple drinks (me) and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. The worker who helped me was very friendly and rang up my discounts no problem. Though I was in a rush and drank my strawberry fruit tea elsewhere (so good! Sweet and refreshing, not too syrupy), I could easily imagine spending an hour or two inside just sipping leisurely. The vibe is relaxing and pleasant. If I lived in SoCal, I would come here all the time!

Tiff M.

I found this cafe when I was looking for a place to study, so excited to finally have a boba option north of the 210! (Pasadena locals, you'll understand ) . With the Yelp Check-In 20% off, my Jasmine Milk tea with boba came out to be $4.25. There are steeped milk tea and fruit tea options; the standard menu that one would expect. At half-sweet, the tea was strong, but the boba lacked sweetness and wasn't chewy enough. Overall, a decent drink that satisfies the craving. Don't think they have any one specialty drink just yet. While I was sitting at the cafe, a lot of people ordered Thai tea, so will try it next time! Yin Yang Tea is located in the Food 4 Less plaza in the corner, so hooray for the parking lot! There isn't much signage since it's in its soft opening phase, so it might be easy to miss. The store wasn't too busy, but there definitely was a steady flow of customers. Their wifi wasn't set up yet, according to their Yelp page it'll be coming soon. The tables inside were fast food restaurant-style booths, so they weren't super comfortable. It definitely isn't an "aesthetic" boba shop, but a nice and quiet place to get work done. Also, on the menu, they have some $8-$9 buy-2 deals. Will be back if I'm looking for a quick milk tea fix in the area!

Ana T.

This is a new boba spot that recently opened up. It's located in the same plaza as Food 4 Less, and it was easy to find parking. It was very quiet when i went. Check in on Yelp to get a 20% off. There are also other deals like the Double Deals, two drinks for a price. I got the Signature Milk Tea, which includes black milk tea, boba, and pudding. Loved the pudding. The boba was good but I do prefer softer boba. Never forget to request less ice! I forgot and got a huge chunk of ice. (They should make it smaller ice.) I spent a lot of time trying to get to the boba that was stuck at the bottom and within the ice.

I wanted to give this place a shot after seeing the owner post it on tik tok, I ordered a Hong Kong milk tea with 25% sugar and boba and wtf is this?? There is ZERO tea flavor in this, all I can taste is condensed milk. Ain't no way they're calling this a Hong Kong milk tea, as someone who has family there this is absolutely NOTHING like a real Hong Kong milk tea. Two stars only because the boba consistency isn't that bad, the owner needs to spend less time making tik toks and more time fixing the drinks Also no outlets or restroom read more

Finally a place where you can taste the tea! It's not milky flavored tea like every other place. The Okinawa tea is good here and one of our favorites! We like it at 50% sweet. Jasmine milk tea is also good and 75% sweet is perfect for us. You can really taste the floral jasmine flavor. The only drawback about this place is location. It's not anywhere we frequent so we really have to go out of the way to get drinks here. Parking is easy and it shares a parking lot with food 4 less and other strip mall shops. Service has always been friendly but they only have one person working so they can get a bit backed up. Hopefully they will continue to make strong flavored teas because our last couple of go to spots, oops boba and nest tea, have weakened their tea strength. read more

I absolutely love this place. It is run by a husband and wife team and they really seem to have it down. I'm always greeted at the door by my first name and that means something. Yin Yang also has a point system that gives you a free drink after acquiring set amount of points. My go to is Thai tea or brown sugar with boba, my 12 year old daughter loves it here as well and is more adventurous than me so she'll try different teas (that I get to taste). I've enjoyed everything that she's had. They shut down for repairs a couple of months back so I was forced to go to some other boba shops. Some were better than others but none of them as good as Yin Yang. Support these guys, they're worth it. read more

I was just passing by while driving search on yelp and this place come up. So i stop by to experience new place. First this place is kinda new soft opening, when i got there it seems like just empty store. No table or chair, but im not sure why in the yelp they had a table picture before. I saw 1 young lady working. Staff is nice and able to explain the drink. Drinks is not on my liking. I drink tea regularly everyday but this time i try passionfruit dragon something i forgot the name ( it was a slush drink with dragonfruit syrup spread inside the glass. And they blend the ice and passionfruit syrup become the passionfruit slush and pour it on top of the dragonfruit syrup) i was imagine maybe little sour but its not, its sweet!! And my friend ask me order matcha milk ( they just pour milk into the glass and they already has pre made matcha mix and pour it on top ) taste ok. Sometimes cause i driving most of time so when i stop by some place i expect the store should have a restroom but FYI this store doesn't have restroom !! Maybe cause this place new i still give 3 stars , i hope this place will improving more. This place place next to sushi place. They had plenty big parking lots. read more

Meet the Business Owner: Annie M.

Hi my name is Annie and I am the co-owner of Yin Yang Tea! I’m often asked why I opened a boba shop. Here is my boba love story. Growing up my parents never expressed how much they loved me or how proud they were of me. Like many Asian parents, my parents showed their love and affection through food instead. For me it was through boba. As a child, they got me boba for getting good grades or to cheer me up when I was sad. This was their silent but heartfelt way of saying “I’m proud of you” or “I love you.” I now know love can be found in small, everyday moments and sometimes words are unnecessary when actions speak so clearly from the heart. Boba to me is a reminder of the profound love my parents always had for me. Now when I see other parents getting boba with their kids, it brings me back to why I opened Yin Yang Tea in the first place. I hope to provide a space where everyone can share the same joy and affection with their loved ones over a cup of boba.

The ube cream top actually had a strong ube flavor instead of just sweetness and the matcha itself tasted high quality and nicely balanced. Sadly, I didn't enjoy the pandan latte much. I got it half sweet and could barely taste any pandan at all, and the espresso just wasn't really my favorite. Not terrible, just not something I'd go out of my way for. My husband liked it more than I did. Service was friendly and fast, and there's also a self serve kiosk by the entrance if you want to order quickly. The cafe itself is small with only a few tables, but it feels like a nice little spot to sit, chat, or get some work done for a bit. They also sell little Thai/Asian snacks and random knick knacks which was fun to browse while waiting for drinks (wound up with a bag of kimchi and salted egg yolk Lays). Conveniently located on the southeast side of Union and Lake too.

Republik is pretty big inside, with lots of outdoor space and seating as well. It was very busy when we arrived, and there was a line, but it moved pretty quickly and I got my order in a decent amount of time. I saw they had an Ube latte, so of course that is what I ordered, and it did not disappoint. Very flavorful and delicious. Service was good, and the baristas were all busy but took the time to greet everyone and thank them as we all picked up our orders. There is lots of free street parking in this area of Pasadena, so that was a breeze.

There's free 90 minute parking behind the structure. However, the room capacity of 4 people does make for a longer line than most other coffee shops. The interior is very classy, tastefully decorated and the baristas are very friendly! All their specialty espresso drinks are double shots. Their top sellers are their Toasty (a milk tea latte), Vienna Latte, and Matcha Latte. Almond and oat milk substitutions are free of charge! I opted for their matcha (iced & sweetened, with oat milk) this time for the lower caffeine amount, and for the price point ($7.25) I think this was an average drink. The drink is a little gritty and not too sweet (which I prefer), but for better quality matcha at the same price point, I would go elsewhere. Looking forward to coming back and trying their other drinks!

The place…read morewas packed at like 10:00 on a Tuesday morning, with a line to order and every table occupied the whole time we were there. I guess this is the spot for coffee and pastries in Pasadena. It was a cute shop with a millennial-friendly aesthetic. Brick walls, exposed ceiling, and lots of hanging lights. Case full of beautiful pastries, house chocolates and merchandise for sale. The line moved quickly enough, and service was friendly and reasonably fast. A table opened up for us when we needed it, and we sat and enjoyed our coffee and pastry. I got a salted honey latte, which was delicious. I'm not a habitual coffee drinker, and this felt like a special indulgent little treat. I'm not a pastry person either, but the kougin amann was fantastic, rich and buttery and shatteringly crispy. I also got a chocolate croissant to go for my husband, who said it was really good. We sat for maybe half an hour, and when we left, someone was there to take our spot, and we had to squeeze past the line that was coming through the door. I don't like coffee and sweets enough to do all that on a regular basis, but I enjoyed my visit to Artisanal Goods and would recommend it if you want top notch pastries in Pasadena.

I was able to find parking nearby luckily and that was probably the hardest part. However, it was also really hot that day so I came prepared with a big hat because I saw the line wrap around the building. I was able to catch it when I was at a lull and the line moved pretty quick. A couple of other items that looked really good that I need to try. I know there is some seasonal items that sell out really quick to keep an eye out of. The chocolate croissant was great and I'll have to wait to try some of their other items next time which I also hear is amazing. The dining area isn't the biggest popular places. It's probably not the easiest to find a spot to sit and enjoy unless you time it correctly.

Drinks were a little pricey so expect to pay $7+! I enjoyed that there were ice and sugar adjustments available and milk substitutions at no extra charge! Got the Honey Haze ($7.45) and it was just cold brew with honey and oat milk. I ordered a small with creamy oat milk and medium honey. However, it still seemed a bit too sweet for my preference. The coffee tasted like regular coffee I would get at a convenience store and nothing special. The Iced Coffee Rose ($7.45) was cold brew with a rose cream top. I requested it with light rose oat milk and light sugar. However, it still seemed too sweet. The rose cream top didn't taste floral at all. The coffee was nothing special so I definitely won't recommend. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with my drinks and I felt like the drinks were overpriced so I won't recommend or return unfortunately.

I love Jameson coffee!…read more At most coffee shops, I usually order cold brew, but here I always go for an Americano. If you like fruity coffee or coffee with a strong bright acidity, I definitely recommend this place. That said, I can see how the flavor profile might not be for everyone, especially if you prefer a more traditional dark-roasted style coffee. The only downside is the parking. It's mostly street parking, and this place always seems to be busy, so finding a spot can be a bit difficult. Because of that, it's not always the easiest place for a quick coffee pickup. Still, the coffee itself is great, and this is one of the places I'd happily come back to.

Jameson Brown Coffee Roasters is located at 260 North Allen Avenue Pasadena, California 91106. It…read morehas been a mainstay for exceptional coffee for over 20 years. Considering the quality that they have maintained, this is an exceptional achievement. This location has undergone a number of different physical and structural modifications over the years. What has stayed the same is the knowledgeable, friendly service of the staff. Their knowledge helps make this an incredible place to have a cup of great coffee or purchase fresh roasted coffee beans. I have tried many different combinations of coffees and roasting techniques.... Light medium or dark roast. Rose City blend ground for a drip coffee maker (cone filter) is my favorite. It's nice that they have bites that you can pair with your cup of coffee as you wait. The customers are often drinking coffee, on a laptop, or working on their phone. Great background music plays throughout the main area of the room. There are many customers that come in to pick up their order that they have placed over the phone. The staff here is always busy cleaning, preparing coffee, or helping customers. Depending upon the time that you are there you may have to wait for other customers to complete their order. I love that they have a selection of tables, and counter space. I've never had a long wait to find a place to sit. They also have a few tables located outside with umbrellas. Depending upon the time of day parking can be a problem. There is off street parking along Allen and other side streets. I highly recommend this Pasadena Gem!

There are plenty of tables, good lighting, and the service is quick and efficient. I'll definitely be back.

I recently stopped by Yin Yang boba tea shop on my way to OC and I was not disappointed! The drinks were excellent, just as I had hoped. The flavors were spot-on, and the tea had the perfect texture. The guy who served us was very friendly. However, I felt the shop's ambiance could use a little enhancement. Some additional decorations and a bit of music would really elevate the experience. The shop's simplicity is charming, but a touch more creativity could make it even more inviting. I'm looking forward to my next visit and hope to see some cute new touches added to this already great spot! read more
