    I ordered the Pandan Milk Drink ($5.99 - 50% Sweetness - Regular Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba (additional 80 cents). It arrived sugary with a strong vanilla, nut flavor. Unfortunately, the Brown Sugar Boba tasted funky. Some pearls had the flavor of soap. "Gross!!" I arrived at YOTEA (Rosemead) on Monday (around 12:16PM). Parking is simple if familiar with the area. There's a rear parking garage for customers. Staff is unmemorable and awkward. When I mentioned they mixed old and new menus together which displayed incorrect prices, Staff seemed amused and let them stay mixed. Staff avoided customer interaction whenever possible. The drink took two minutes and 10 seconds. Quick time. The Pandan Milk Drink ($5.99 - 50% Sweetness - Regular Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba (additional 80 cents) tasted artificial. It had a strong "candy milk taste," and it glowed a neon green when stirred. The first sip was pleasant, but as I continued to drink, the taste became more off-putting. Next, the Brown Sugar Boba tasted inconsistent. Some tasted perfectly fine, but others had the flavor of dishwater and gloop. I was tempted to throw it into the garbage can. Concerning ambiance, YOTEA (Rosemead) has potential. Ignoring the cobweb underneath one table & the somewhat old furniture, there's utility. This location has about 10 electrical outlets. Wow! There's also customer internet with password; the internet information is taped onto the black register. There's also a customer gender neutral restroom. YOTEA (Rosemead) is also very spacious. The ceiling is very tall, and there's many spots to sit. There's about 16 tables!! If desperate for a study/work spot, this is a decent choice. There's also upbeat, smooth music. Overall, I had a disappointing experience at YOTEA (Rosemead). There's utility and potential, but this business feels old and unmaintained. Rather than clean, Staff just chattered amongst themselves. Any passion that rang within these walls dissipated a long time ago. Currently, YOTEA (Rosemead) is simply mediocre. 2.9 out of 5

    Yo Fruit Tea
    Diana L.

    My husband and I tried Yo Tea for the first time on Friday, Nov 14th at around 3 PM. I got the Yo Fruit Tea with light ice, which is filled with slices of orange, lemon, and a small bite of watermelon. It is a four seasons tea mixed with orange juice, lemon juice, and passion fruit syrup. The drink was tasty, not overly sweet (even though I got full sweet, very refreshing and I would definitely be willing to order this again. This time I ordered through Uber Eats and at that time, they had a special BOGO deal so both drinks were $8.35 and was a steal. All in all, I'd be willing to try out more drinks from Yo Tea in the future!

    Banana Pudding Matcha Latte
    Jenny T.

    After hearing about Yotea for so long, I finally stopped by for a visit to try their drinks. There were a few I wanted to try including the Egg Coffee and the corn drinks but I decided on Banana Pudding Matcha Latte. It happened to be BOGO when I went and I had no idea, but I was pleasantly surprised to received two drinks when I went to get my drink when they called my name! The banana flavor was well balanced with the matcha and I love the "pudding" part of the drink, it felt like I was eating dessert while enjoying a drink, I found it really unique from most Banana Matcha Lattes I had. The place is pretty spacious with plenty of seating, a great hangout or work/study spot!

    Sesame Matcha Latte at 25% sugar is still sugar overkill. Probably have to go even lower on the sweetness--- no added sugar because the sesame cream or whatever they use is already spiked with sugar. That being said, I popped a straw immediately into the Jasmin Gree Tea to water down the sweetness after taste on my tounge. Much better. Service here is quick, it's a good little alternative to the more crowded Aroma Formosa on Rosemead near Las Tunas, and less hectic than waiting in line at 3Catea or Molly Tea. If you're a quiet person, an introvert, maybe this place is for you. All the INTP, INFP, ISFJ, ISTJ, ISTP, yea this place is for you. Away from Valley Blvd. But the three stars is for the drinks, this being my 1st time here, not a fan of the matcha latte.

    My NEW! Favorite Boba Spot in the City of Rosemead! I ordered my self a Pandan Milk Drink and my goodness it was so gooood!!! It's definitely a Must-Try! The service was just phenomenal and efficient and friendly with their customers helping them if they ever need help on what to try out. The ambiance was amazing and cozy because it was at night time and wasn't too crazy there. I would definitely come back here if need be and am thirsty

    egg coffee + banana pudding matcha latte
    Katie C.

    Came here to do some work & I ordered a sweet corn latte w/ no sugar. It was sooooo yummy, I love corn and the creamy corn top was perfect with my coffee, (5/5) would totally get again! I don't prefer my drinks too sweet so this was great bc I listened to the other reviews of reducing the sugar level bc they typically make it on the sweeter side. My drink came out quick within a few minutes. This place is nice for locking in to do work with outlets where their tables are which is perfect!

    Matcha Cold Whisk
    Jamie L.

    I dropped by to check out this place after hearing that their matcha was pretty good, and it definitely didn't disappoint!! I will be coming back to try the rest of their options! I ordered the Matcha Cold Whisk that comes with oat milk, and it was deliciously creamy and so so smooth!! I do wish that I ordered 75% or 50% sweetness considering how intense the sweet cream was, but as for matcha flavor, it wasn't gritty or grassy at all. If you're someone who prefers less sweet, definitely request to tone down the sugar levels. Their interior is spacious and quiet, perfect for a study spot.

    Watermelon green tea, lychee tea, corn coffee
    Ashley Y.

    Good study cafe in the SGV! There's a lot of tables that are spaced out well, charging outlets, and they'll let you borrow an extension cable if needed. The drinks are just ok. I wouldn't come here just for the drinks. Come for the tables, the WiFi, the chill space to work. Drinks we ordered: Watermelon green tea 50% sweet -- very bland, just good for hydration Lychee green tea 50% sweet-- good sweetness, canned lychees, good to sip on but not amazing you know? Corn coffee-- we didn't like this Previously I've ordered the matcha coconut (that's pretty good) and cookies and creme coffee (VERY strong and sweet) There's a parking lot in the back. It looks like the entrance to a residential apartment but you can park on the ground floor (first floor when you enter) for free.

    Matcha einspanner
    Ginny V.

    This spot has a nice, modern interior. They have different seating choices strewn throughout the shop. There is also the choice of street parking or a small indoor parking lot. We got the matcha einspanner. It's yummy, but we did notice there was quite a bit more cream than drinkable liquid/milk. I would come back, but request less cream next time! We ordered with the self-serve kiosk, so we don't have any particular comments on the service.

    Cecilia L.

    This place is great to come and study or get some work done. They have so many seats and tables and outlets throughout. I had their banana matcha and the pudding was good but matcha was not. It was very bland and when mixed it was better but not that much. We also tried the coconut matcha which was just okay. I would probably try a different drink next time. Customer service was nice and friendly.

    Matcha banana pudding
    May W.

    Great parking spaces, plenty of tables and seating, and great variety of tea overall. Great place to do laptop work or catch up with a friend. One tap monitor machine and one cashier machine. Wax Berry Frostie (50% sweet, mini boba): Honestly, I would consider lowering the sweetness down to 0% or 25% because once the ice melts the sweetness reaches to 100%. Great refreshing berry smooth with a top coating of foam yogurt. Matcha Banana Pudding (50% sweet): Matcha is very light, there's not a lot of the green tea flavor. The banana pudding is also light and fluffy however it's not going sweeten the drink overall because it acts more like topping to eat instead of mix and drink.

    Banana pudding matcha and corn matcha
    Brian T.

    Spacious tea store with street parking and a parking garage in the back. Decided to try this place for the matcha but the matcha quality here isn't the best. Lots of drinks on the menu and they are promoting a new ceremonial matcha series. Can see them whisking matching in the back but has a bitterness I didn't like on my first sips. Once mixed the other flavors took over the drink. The sweet corn matcha had a fresh corn flavor which was delicious and didn't taste like the artificial corn. The banana pudding matcha had good banana flavor and pudding consistency. The pandan flavoring was too strong. Quiet place and plenty of seating so great for a study place. Drinks had decent syrups and flavoring but matcha was not good. They have a large selection for their menu.

    Watermelon
    Megan K.

    Drinks were decent! The watermelon was refreshing and well blended. The matcha was a miss (especially if you tend to drink matcha from coffee shops). The service was great, you could either order via kiosk or with the worker. The seating area was very large, perfect for studying or working. There are outlets against the wall and WiFi!

The pandan coffee includes Robusta Vietnamese double espresso serve with fresh pandan juice prepared in-house, coconut milk and whole milk. I loved this drink as it was just the right amount sweet. The pandan flavor was also enough for my liking, and the overall drink was not heavy (sometimes that pandan flavor can be too heavy). We thoroughly enjoyed our drinks, and I'll continue to crave it from time to time. The line was suUuper long that went straight to the restroom so I opted to order online, which I highly recommend. lotus-and-bean.square.site Though, I did want to mention that although I placed my mobile order, the order took longer to receive and pick up when compared to the estimated time. I gave it some extra time before I went up to the counter, but had to wait maybe another 10 minutes longer before I received my order. If you're in a rush, please consider ordering with sufficient time in advance through mobile order. The funny thing is, I actually got my "Your order from LOTUS & BEAN is ready" email at a comical 1:14 PM. Customer Service: Not as much interaction, the staff member who helped me was friendly Overall, I'm giving this experience a full 5 star review for my love of the pandan drink.

Here, the beverage menu spans from the usual suspects to over-the-top lattes featuring ube, pandan, corn, and more. The shop maintains a strong social media presence, but has received little press; nonetheless, the mob around the stall every weekend morning speaks for itself. L&B has a stall in the Blossom Market Hall. Briefly, this premium San Gabriel food hall (opened in a former Masonic lodge) hosts two rooms of fast casual food and beverages, broadly with a pan-Asian bent. The rainbow mosaic mural in the main room is almost pretty enough to make you forget the weak AC. Chatter for customers overwhelms the pop playlist. L&B is right up front, in the accessory room. The miniature pastry case is stocked with cookies and croffles. The menu is displayed on flat screens behind the counter, while seasonal drinks are featured against the faux-foliage wall to the right. Across the expansive menu, my go-to drink is the Pandan Coffee. The coffee is strong, and the pandan-forward flavor is indulgent without feeling unnecessarily sweet. Other solid choices are the fresh Banana Coffee and toasty Black Sesame Coffee. Any of the beverages can be decked with a cream top; my favorite is the sweet-and-savory Black Sesame Cream, but the smoky Creme Brulee Cream with intermittent sugar crisps is a strong option, too. The service is efficient, but the queue may still take 30 minutes if you don't order ahead. The coffees run $6-7, before accounting for add-ons. While the price is no laughing matter, neither are the drinks -- my fiancee and I agree that they are the best Vietnamese lattes in the area, always fun but never sacrificing flavor or quality.

The matcha itself was pretty weak and a bit flat, missing that rich, earthy depth you'd hope for, so overall it just fell a little meh. The sesame cream added a nice richness, but didn't bring much of that distinct nutty sesame flavor and mostly just tasted creamy. That said, the space is beautiful. It's clean and minimalist with lots of natural wood, high ceilings, and an open, airy layout. There's plenty of seating, making it a great spot to work, study, or just hang out. I'd still be open to coming back and giving it another try, maybe the double matcha will hit better next time.

For myself, I was able to try the traditional roasted oolong milk tea with pearl and the hojicha latte-- both at 70% sweet. I have a sweet tooth, so the sweetness was at a perfect level for both. However, I didn't get that much of a strong roasted oolong taste in the milk tea as I've gotten from other boba shops. The hojicha latte was good enough, but also did not have that strong, nutty taste in comparison to others.
