“ I've been here a couple of times specifically for their Vietnamese coffee. My go to has been the Seasalt Creme OG. It's creamy, bitter but not too bitter. The flavor of the coffee itself is good. It's not too acidic. It's hard to find a good Viet coffee here in the 626 area and I'm glad there's now one so close to home. I don't have to go to OC anymore to get my fix. Service so far has been good. Everyone has been nice and friendly. Drinks come out fast (but I've only come during off-peak hours). The place itself is very clean, warm and welcoming. I've seen plenty of people sit down to chit chat. Not a lot of parking in front of the store itself but there are parking structures close by. It's easy to turn into the lot because of the traffic light. ”
“ Best tea in the area in my opinion. Legit ceremonial matcha. Sweetness level is up to you. And you know when an asian says "not too sweet" its a compliment. I need to save money, time to make matcha at home; but when i'm not, i'm here for a pick me up. ”
“ This is a pretty decent tea spot located in Monteray Park. We ended up getting the Toasted Oreo Milk, and it was good but also nothing special. It tasted like if you took oreo and dunked it into milk. The toasted part on top was tasty though. Our drink plastic top came out to be pretty funny looking but overall this was a pretty decent spot to get a drink. ”
“ Ordered the Coconut Taro on 1/18/25. It wasn't too busy around 4:00 pm on a Saturday. Service was quick and you can order through a screen. The coconut taro was delicious. I got 100% sweet and it wasn't overly sweet. The taro tasted really good and fresh. It mixed well with the coconut to create a perfect blend. I might have found my goto for taro blended drinks. Right now they are offering buy 4 get 1 free. ”
“ This is now my go to spot for tea in the Monterey park area. Their teas aren't overly expensive even for their signatures orders. They are more on the sweet side I've noticed. Wait time is never long and we've never had an issue with finding parking in the front. Tieguanyin Milk Tea 60% sugar - 5/5, sugar level is still a bit sweeter than I would have expected. The tea is stronger and bolder than Golden Milk Tea, I think bc of the Oolong, so I'd say the Golden MT is more refreshing Coconut Taro 30% sugar - 5/5, still pretty sweet but it may be bc of the taro paste. There is already coconut pudding at the bottom which is delicious! So I'm glad I didn't put any other toppings. This is one of my favorite drinks, and I usually don't like taro! ”
“ I've been to this shop a couple of times and they have a very good selection of drinks and toppings. I've tried the milk teas, the matchas,the coconut taro, and the fruit teas. Very tasty. I love sago as a topping and they have it. I live in OC, but when I'm up this way, I would totally stop by. There is an open kitchen concept also so you get to see the employees make your drink. This is a very strong contender to becoming one of my favorite boba shops. Parking is easy now since many of the storefronts have not been leased yet. ”
“ I came to visit on a Thursday. The place is ample with seating at the front. The offer a table to self order or you can order with an employee. The menu offers a great selection of drinks from coffee, teas, milk teas, matcha, & smoothies. I ordered a strawberry matcha. You can also customize ice & sugar levels on your drinks. The matcha was yummy & would totally recommend if you're a fan of matcha. ”
“ I've been to the store since it opened and recently came back after a while and all the drinks are still as good as I remember! The matcha and hojicha are definitely something you have to try. ”
“ 12/18/24 Our crew decided today was boba day so we ordered through Ubereats (The Tea). It's not my usual to order boba or these types of drinks but it's something we're doing as a group, why not? I like taro based drinks so I went with fresh taro puréed milk tea with brown sugar boba. This was delicious! It's a little bit on the rich & creamy side, thankfully I ordered it 60 % sweetened. My colleague got the smashed avocado. This was also very rich & creamy. You can really taste the avocado!. Someone else arranged the ordering so that was easy. This was a great treat & a quick break. Would like to order these once in a while. Be careful, could be habit-forming ”
