Recently visited their new location (12631 Imperial Hwy, Unit E119 --about a mile away) and loved the experience! It was a little tricky to find at first because the GPS takes you to the Bungalows A, but they're actually located in Bungalows E and share the space with a skincare shop -- once you find it, it's totally worth it. The service was 10/10. The owners were incredibly kind and took the time to walk me through step-by-step how to make my favorite drink at home. I was even able to purchase the loose-leaf tea to recreate it myself! They had actually discontinued that particular tea, but he still helped me out, which I truly appreciated. I tried the Banana Nut Latte and it is SO good. It's an herbal tea-based drink, super flavorful and cozy. I also love that you can customize your sweetness level or keep it completely sugar-free. Highly recommend for anyone who loves quality loose-leaf teas and genuinely amazing customer service. I'll definitely be back! Owner suggests calling/texting order ahead for quick pickup 562-250-5070 read more

Im not from the area, but work brought me to this side of town. And I'm so happy it did. I had been craving a golden latte for so long, and when I saw it on the menu, I knew I had to have it. It was by far one of the best golden lattes I had had in a long time. Perfectly sweetened with agave syrup and just enough spice to make you feel like you were getting the most comforting hug. Service was 10/10. I wish I could remember the girls name who helped me out. She was so sweet and really did her thing with my latte. The store is so cute and love that they sell their tea blends. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Definitely not kid friendly,!! The cashier was really nice at all times. The Place had loud hip hop music, I had my 3 kids with me and of course 2 of them were running around since there was only 2 persons in the place with headphones on. Bought 4 drinks, 3 deserts. 1 of the drinks was made wrong. The matcha latte and teas were good. The experience overall was bad, the drinks ok. While waiting for over 10 mins, an employee came up to us and told us we needed to keep the kids on one side and basically calm.. Of course we're not coming back, we wouldn't not stopped if it said no kids welcome. read more

With a wide variety of teas, Im a big fan of trying as many as I can so the flight appealed to me. ~$15 for any 4 teas including milk teas and even matchas, I ordered golden chai, peach oolong matcha, assam lavender and strawberry mint (green tea). And they only have alternative milks !!! Such a lactose-intolerant friendly place. In the order that I enjoyed the most: strawberry mint, golden chai, assam lavender, peach matcha. Maybe the chai and matcha would've been better had it been colder. I asked for iced but maybe the ice melted because the temp was little cooler than lukewarm. I've known about Homeboy industries before and was so cool to see that they sell their pastries! For those who don't know, they train/hire individuals who were incarcerated and teach them job skills I docked a star because it just took too long. A pretty steady flow of people for the hr I was here but my order took over 30min. Thankfully I had work to do and lingered around but if I was in a rush, I wouldn't be a very happy customer. read more

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this tea house!! It's such a charming and welcoming establishment. I was immediately drawn in by the music that was playing. Can't ever go wrong with early 2000's rnb. Now, back to the tea: There were so many options to choose from and I wasn't sure what to get. The owner made some amazing recommendations so I went with an iced green tea mixture of some herbal teas he put together. I also purchased a hot tea for a friend who was a little under the weather. I love that the wall has a list of premade tea options and what they're good for. It wasn't very busy so while he made my teas we had a chance to make small talk and chat about kids, life and travel. It honestly felt like I was hanging out with a family member. I definitely appreciate the hospitality and great service. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone who loves tea! I plan on returning soon to try the matcha . read more

The second time I went in person to order and saw that they brewed everything on the spot. They have a variety of selections to order from as well as loose leaf options to purchase. Make sure to sign up for their rewards program. Both times I've ordered the Jasmine Dragon and it was delicious, the tea flavor was amazing and the added matcha just completed the drink. read more

Zen's Tea House - Jasmine Dragon - Tea Rooms Near Me - Norwalk, California

This cute and cozy tea house has a HUGE array and must have more than 100 teas (botanical, black, green, oolong, milk blends, medicinal, organic, iced) and offers tea flights! It also has a delectable selection of Homeboy Bakeries pastries. We got two flights, a peach cobbler danish, chocolate croissant, and turkey and cheese croissant and everything was SO good. Service was very warm and helpful, tea was served at the perfect temperature, pasties warmed to a savory sizzle. Ambience calm and clean with soothing music and an option for table seating or sofas. Parking was easy. It's very tucked away in a small strip mall and I must have drove past it dozens of times. Now that I know, I'll definitely be back. Two suggestions for the owner, bathroom decor should be considered and maybe a small topiary outside. read more

Went on a whim this morning and wanted something other than coffee. So I looked up "tea" on Yelp and this was one of the closest and open around my area. DID NOT DISAPPOINT They have a great selection of teas to order from, oolong, black teas, cold or hot. Even some tasty food options and bakery items. I went with the double chocolate chip cookie It was DELICIOUS best way to describe it is it has the cookie texture PLUS brownie texture ?? Yum I ended up trying the sweetened Thai Tea with oat milk - perfection. It taste organic? Authentic? Like upon drinking you are met with a thrilling burst of flavor, completely pure and wholesome. It's a distinct note. So darn good. Me gusta! Also the place inside is cute has room for sit and sip and even study or work. They have two sofas so you can sit and relax too. They have little (fake) cute plants too. read more

Zen tea house is one of my new favorite spots. I get a lot of work done here. This is definitely a tea house with coffee shop vibes. My favorite tea is the marshmallow. Give it a try. The service has been great. The Wi-Fi does what it needs to do. My only advice would be if you are visiting late in the evening just be mindful. Sometimes there are folks loitering right outside so park close to the tea house if you can. read more

Didn't even know this place was here! It's in a strip mall but inside is very relaxing and clean. My friend and i went and we were the only ones there. The girl behind the counter was so friendly and welcoming. I got the hot tea flight with golden milk w coconut, matcha with coconut, flower tea, peach oolong. I really loved the golden milk! Ive always wanted to try it and it was so delicious ans comforting. Not a strong flavor; reminded me of chai. I did not like the peach oolong and my friend's iced matcha was much better. The flower tea was so tasty and smelled wonderful. It felt like the perfect "sick tea" where you would be much healthier after drinking it. I definitely want to come back and get a cold flight. Wish there were pastry options too i think that would be fun. Teas are also available for sale!! read more

Wow, this is such a hidden gem, and I want nothing but the best for this shop! We ordered a masala chai with oat milk after seeing a picture on Yelp, and my god it was delicious. I also asked our cashier what she recommended for a fruity tea, and she recommended the Hawaii Fruit with lemonade. Again, super delicious and refreshing! She gave two great recommendations, and genuinely seemed excited to share her favorite drinks. We also ordered a bear claw and a peach cobbler danish. We ate both at home and they were both delicious, if a little heavy. I went on a Wednesday night, and it was relatively empty. Super quiet, and seems like a great place to relax, get work done, or even play a quick board/card game with friends. The drinks took a little while, which implies that the teas are made fresh to order, so totally worth the wait! read more

Their tea, shop, and employees are phenomenal. I am telling everyone about this place, especially all of my coworkers. I have tasted and shared the immunity tea multiple times. I believe the combination of ingredients really helps. Once, one of my coworkers was cramping really bad and I bought her the Dr. Jen's tea and she said it actually did help! I've tried their immunity elixir, Hawaiian fruit tea, and pu-erh with oat milk. I've tried the teas with agave and without. Everything has been SO good so far. I can't wait to go again! read more

I never leave reviews, but this place is so deserving of one. This is the hidden gem of Norwalk. I had a cold and got the Holy Detox, which seriously helped. Their food is so good, too, and I love that it's from Homeboy Industries! I also love that they offer tea flights that allow you to try hot or cold tea. It's perfect for me, someone who's very indecisive! The drinks take a while to prepare, so I wouldn't come if you're pressed for time. The wait is understandable, though, because they're making it fresh, which I appreciate. The staff is super helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. The vanilla matcha with oat milk goes so crazy!! read more

I love this tea house they don't take shortcuts I. Love the golden milk i usually place my order for pick up

New fan of Zen's tea house right here! :) I came by on a Sunday evening after having dinner elsewhere. I love the all natural tea selection as well as the displays of benefits of each tea sold here. This place is affordable and promotes wellness! I tried the tea flight and decided to have it inside since my fam and I were the only customers at the time. The atmosphere was calm & quiet - the music was relaxing and the teas were enjoyable. I'm a huge fan of cold teas and each of the flavors chosen were delightful. Tea flight flavors chosen - peach oolong, holy detox, Hawaiian fruit & pomegranate. My faves of the four was the peach oolong and Hawaiian fruit tea. Each of them weren't too sweet and were light. I appreciated the variety of sweetener offerings- monk fruit, agave and peach syrup. Customer service: the barista present was very kind and took the time to share details about the teas and process for ordering the flight. I will definitely be back & am excited to try the additional tea offerings! read more

First time trying this tea spot I'm excited to go back and try a different tea they seem to have many tea options.

I loved it here! If you know you know, but it is very difficult to find ceremonial grade matcha and this matcha was lovely! I wish the matcha was a bit more bright green but this is the best shop in my area in my opinion. It is a bit small inside to do any work but great to stop by for tea. Staff was very friendly as well! read more

I found this place shortly after moving to this area and I'm glad I did! They specialize in a pretty good variety of high quality teas, ranging from black, green, oolong, white, non-caffeinated fruity and rooibos. I've mainly had their oolongs, like the silky oolong and milky oolong, and I love both. They're subtle and naturally sweet, and the milky oolong really tastes like milk. The flavor of the teas are good enough that you don't need any sweetener, I think sweetener might actually overpower it. I also really liked the peach oolong as a milk tea with oat milk (they don't have whole milk unfortunately but do have a lot of alternatives). I enjoyed the gunpowder green tea and white silver needle tea as part of a tea flight (which is cool and I recommend it as a way of trying a lot of different teas at once). It's possible to buy containers of their tea loose leaf. I love the aesthetic here too, it's calming and cute. I especially like sitting on the squishy couches and relaxing there. Also, I wouldn't listen to the negative reviews, I've been here quite a few times and while some people are more knowledgeable than others, it always helps to ask specific questions. Not every person working there is going to have tried all their teas. And it can take longer to prepare than your average boba shop because they're making the tea from scratch. I will continue to stop by and try all their teas. It's healthier than getting boba and the flavors don't disappoint :) read more

What a hidden gem! It's so rare to find an actual loose-leaf, hand crafted tea place. This place checks all the boxes - incredible, unique, handcrafted brewed tea beverages, good fair price, welcoming atmosphere, and great customer service. I tried the matcha jasmine vanilla latte, and it was phenomenal. It was very tea forward, super flavorful, and well balanced with the vanilla. I also love that you have the option to add sweetness, but don't have too. They offer honey, agave, and monkfruit. They also have a bunch of non-dairy options. They have loose leaf tea in bags- what a great gift idea! Plus, they have a selection of baked goods from Homeboy bakery. More people need to know about this place- it blew me away! read more

Always down for some good, natural, loose leaf tea, and Zen's is a full send. Located in a tiny strip mall, Zen's is a diamond in the rough with great loose leaf herbs and teas are just built different. When you enter, there's a distinct smell of aromatic tea, herbs, and spices in the air. Perfect. At first the menu can be overwhelming but really it boils down to their special sweet drinks, pure teas, and milk. Be sure to ask about the drink, for example, milky oolong isn't actually milk + tea, so double check before you buy. They are helpful in helping you choose your drink, and may give you an option not listed on the menu which was cool. They also offer pure bags of tea, but IMO these are pretty pricey so I stuck with their much more reasonable $4 (small)-$5 (large). Lastly, I like how "off-menu" you could get. You can add stuff like agave, change up your drink more than your typical spot. It's cool and I like that little detail. I ordered the Matcha Lemonade, Golden Milk, and Jasmin Green tea. Matcha Lemonade: 5/5 I originally was going to get a matcha tea with something sweet and the lady recommended matcha lemonade which wasn't on the menu. Intrigued, I went with it and glad I did. I love matcha, and it can get overwhelming, but this had a nice balance between the matcha and sweet lemonade, not too strong in either direction. The matcha wasn't bitter but was bold enough for its presence to be noticed. At $4-5, it's reasonable. If I have to recommend a drink here, IMO it'd be this one. Golden Milk: 3.5/5 IMO their weakest drink, even though according to the lady it was their most popular. It's sweet, and I think it has ginger and turmeric. Personally I thought that the cinnamon was too strong for me. Definitely clears up your sinuses your throat, but it's not my preference. I recommend mixing it more if you want a softer cinnamon taste to it. . Note that this doesn't have caffeine if you need yours. Jasmine Green tea: 5/5 Strong af loose leaf pure tea at a good price is a plus for me, and it hits hard. Definitely not for everyone, but a nice caffeine rush if you want it. Default is not sweetened, just pure, unalduterated tea. Customer service was pretty good, and are knowledgeable in both drinks and mixes. Overall, I left pretty satisfied. read more

Super cute tea place, the ambiance is welcoming, clean all around.... There's a side wall with decor for pictures... here's why im giving a 2 star review... I looked on Yelp for a near by coffee shop; found this one cuz its categorized as coffee& tea.... I originally wanted coffee.... So I asked the employee if they had coffee and she said unfortunately not.... It's okay no problem!!... no big deal... I got a jalapeño cheddar cheese bagel instead so my trip their wasn't a total loss..... it took quite a bit long to get my order even tho there was no other people waiting.... The cute girl with short hair said " here's your bagel...." Not sure if she was upset or something... so there's that.... Two stars because I think this place is categorized in the wrong criteria... if they don't offer coffee, they should be removed from the coffee and tea criteria since it's misleading... other than that... this place has lots of tea options! read more

The guy was really nice. He did take a really long time though like 20 minutes for my two drinks, which I've never had happen, since I was also the first person in there.
