My friend highly recommended this place so I knew I had to check them out. Sure enough the lines were long on a Sunday afternoon. You order through the kiosk and pick up at the counter. I ordered some of their signature drinks: ~ AVOMANGO SWEET DEW ~ MOCHI BARLEY BURST ~ JASMINE GREEN TEA LATTE My favorite was definitely the avomango sweet dew. It's like nothing I tasted before. Super creamy and refreshing. My next favorite is the mochi barley burst. I love the bits of barley, which was a great substitution for boba. I like the jasmine green tea latte, but it was a little light for me but did have great tea flavor. If you haven't had their drinks, definitely give them a try. I have to go back to try their mochi mango. read more

I always go back here for their mochi bc no one does it like them!! It is so addicting and delicious. I actually really enjoy their soybean mousse as well! I order the drinks (0% sweet) bc I think most boba shop places have too sweet of a drink & their mango mochi and matcha mochi both taste great at 0%. Love their mochi, wish they can expand their mochi series bc I would definitely try more mochi-based drinks!! They are often packed so I would def consider order online if you want a fast pickup or avoiding the kiosk order line bc they only have 1 kiosk in the store and it can get pretty cramped in there. It is definitely more grab and go shop since it is a small store, but plenty of seating outside! read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Mango Mochi - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

3CAT is one of my favorite places for drinks! Our family ordered the Avomango Sweet Dew, Mango Mochi, Jade Matcha, and the Matcha Mochi. All were delicious!!! Drinks ranged from $6.99-$7.49 and the total cost of 4 drinks came out to $30.06. My favorite is the Avomango Sweet Dew, which I ordered regular sweet, and has the perfect balance of rich and creamy avocado sweetened by the tropical mangos. The jelly adds the right amount of texture this drink, which is a tad on the thick side. From the time of ordering to the time of pick up was between 15-20 minutes, which is pretty fast considering this place is always packed in the evening. 3CAT is always bustling but you can get generally find seats. Parking lot in the back. read more

This is a legitimate tea house. There's no food I would order ahead of time they do get busy !!! But despite that the service seems to be really fast.... Considering how busy they were they were super friendly and nice..... This place is super cute. They have cats everywhere. A little bit retro, kind of feels like a funny house. The chairs are really high are They're really low. read more

What We Ordered: -Mochi Mango (Less Sugar) $6.95 -Mochi Barley Burst (Less Sugar and Less Ice) $6.95 We've been wanting to try 3Cat for a while, and the opportunity finally arose. We were running errands at the mall when our son found the play area. My wife sent me to get drinks while he played. I waited about 5 minutes for 3Cat to open at 11 AM. When I went to the kiosk to order, the screen asked for a table number, but it didn't work when I tried a few random numbers. I asked a staff member for help, and the manager came from behind the curtain to reset the kiosk, but there was no acknowledgement or apology for the error. I still had questions about the drinks since it was my first time there. The young barista didn't seem very enthusiastic, but I asked for recommendations and he gave me some good ones, which I appreciated. The recommendations were great because both drinks were excellent! I would have given less stars for the lukewarm service, but the drinks were so good. I must give 3Cat 5 stars! The Mochi Mango was a smoothie with fresh mango, handmade rice mochi, whipping cream, and wafer crunch - my wife's favorite. My favorite was the Mochi Barley Burst, a floral black milk tea with barley popping boba. I recommend ordering online in advance to cut down on wait times, as it can get busy, especially on weekends. We will definitely be back to 3Cat soon, and we'll likely try their San Gabriel location next time as it's closer. read more

3CAT is such a great spot and definitely deserving of five stars. Everything feels fresh, fun, and well made, making it an easy stop whenever we are at Santa Anita Mall. The Avomango drink is absolutely amazing. It is creamy, refreshing, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. Honestly one of the best drinks I have had in a long time and the main reason I keep thinking about coming back. Service is quick and friendly, and it is a perfect treat while shopping or just taking a break. If you are at the mall, this place is a must try, especially for the Avomango drink. read more

Honestly my favorite boba place right now! Service is efficient. You just order on the kiosk and wait for your drink to come out. Always get the Snow Frost and substitute with barley boba! It's seasonal but praying it'll become a regular item. We also got the Dragon Well Green Tea for the bogo. Tea flavor is really good and you can get your choice of cream top. We got matcha and cheese. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Snow Frost and Dragon Well Green Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

We were strolling the promenade on a scorching hot day and decided to get 3CAT for a refreshing drink. There was a line out the door at the kiosk, but it moved quickly. I've had their teas before, but this time I wanted a blended drink. I chose the Avomango Sweet Dew, which had mango puree, agar boba, and pomelo. It was delicious - interesting combo, but I do love avocado drinks. My boyfriend ordered the Mochi Mango -- I'm not a mochi fan, but overall the drink still good. Perfect boba spot at the mall! read more

3 Cat is my first time here, and it is located inside the Santa Anita Mall but in the outside area. This place was super busy and I can see why. The drinks are delicious and also refreshing on a hot summer day! My friend took me here to check it out since I have never been to it and man I drank my drink even before we were done with being at the mall. You order through the kiosk and you can adjust the level of sweetness or if you want less ice or normal ice. So it's all just personal. I ordered the mochi barely burst and man that was super tasty. The mochi has a nice chewy texture. There are seats inside, so we sat here waiting for the drinks but left to go shopping with them. read more

LOve L0Ve Love! I tried several drinks from 3CAT from different locations. The drinks always hit the spot except for the Pasadena location. The AVOmAngo!!! YUMMy!! Always consistent! I also like the Jasmine w/soy cheese foam. So refreshing and tasty. Yesterday, I tried the Amber tea. It was very good as well. The mango coconut and the barley were great as well. The mochi mango was prob my least fav because it was difficult to drink lol I get tired trying to suk up the mochi. Most places would advertise saying their teas are quality, but very lacking. Often tastes like water or very bitter. Will be heading back soon =] Customer service at this location was good! read more

Food Safety and working conditions were incredibly concerning. The restaurant was swarming with flies, not just a few getting in. It's clearly an infestation and the lack of air flow and circulation isn't helping. It's incredibly warm and flies are circling the prep stations and tea containers. The owner or whoever is making excuses in the replies bc neighboring businesses did not have this bad of a fly and AC problem. read more

We always get the avocado sweet dew and the mango mochi, and they always hit the spot. The drinks are consistently really good and definitely what keeps us coming back. Customer service isn't the greatest, but the quality of the drinks makes up for it. The store itself is nice and clean, which is always a plus. We usually go to their San Gabriel location, but this time we found ourselves in Arcadia and decided to stop by. If you like these types of drinks, they're definitely one of the best around. read more

No one does mochi like 3CAT does. I'm so happy 3CAT exists. I first tried the Mochi Mango at their Pasadena location (before the move) and remembered liking it. The mochi is done perfectly and goes so well with the sweet mango. I've only tried 3 drinks so far and all of them were amazing! If I had to rank my drinks: 1. Mochi Barley Burst - their signature mochi topping with barley popping boba is addicting. The tea was fragrant and refreshing and the barley popping boba is unique and fun to chew. 2. Mochi Mango - sweet, delicious mango in a slushy consistency with their signature mochi. I swapped out the whipping cream for the Soybean Mousse and it tastes a lot better, imo. 3. Avomango Sweet Dew - equally as delicious as the Mochi Mango, but with crystal boba instead of mochi. Overall, I love the calming atmosphere, the ease of ordering on the kiosk, and the fast service. You can count on me coming back! read more

Hot and thirsty. So you need Boba Drink. Found plenty of options at Santa Anita Mall/The Shop. Choose the longest line, 3CAT. Quick service and satisfying taste. Always good to have high turnover.

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Mochi Mango and Mochi Barley Burst - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Located inside Santa Anita Mall (Promenade outdoor section!). I was pleasantly surprised by their Matcha Mochi drink! It's a delectable matcha smoothie with large chunks of mochi inside topped with whipped cream and matcha powder. It was AMAZING and had such a unique texture. Because it has mochi, it can be sometimes hard to suck it from the straw. Nevertheless, very sweet and yummy! The wait to order and for the drink to be ready took about 20 minutes, but I would say it's so worth it! My boyfriend got the Avocado Mango drink and he really liked it as well. Definitely did not disappoint! Not too many seats inside so it's definitely more of a grab and go spot. For the price, they give you a lot of product. I loved it so much and I'll definitely be back to try their other drinks as well! read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - mochi mango + osmanthus jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

The first time I ordered 3CAT, I have to admit that I didn't like it much! Their best-selling Mango Mochi drink has a thick mango puree layer that's topped with a layer of cream with thick pieces of rice pudding/mochi. Because I was expecting something like a boba drink, it caught me by surprise. The thing is that it just took a change in my expectations to appreciate it for what it is. What I've come to appreciate is that the Mango Mochi is essentially a dessert drink that is reminiscent of a mango sticky rice. Now 3CAT is something that I really crave. When I visited this location at the Santa Anita Mall, I noticed that they had some really interesting seasonal drinks. In particular, their grape pear with pear jelly is a winner. The grape-pear hybrid drink has small chunks of Asian Pear and small chunks of pear jelly that offers amazing textural contrast. This drink is a winner, and I hope it stays on the permanent menu. It appears that they sell out of this drink and that this drink is a temporary item; therefore, you should absolutely order it if you see it on the menu! 3CAT locations are always busy. You should expect a thirty-minute wait, unless you order in advance. read more

I was staying near the Santa Anita Mall, so I decided to revisit the mall area after 3+ years of last being in the area. I noticed this new boba spot in the area, so I had to check it out. They had a nice variety of various milk teas and other fresh fruit drinks. I opted for the Avomango Sweet Dew since it was one of their popular drinks and also non-caffeinated. I got the drink with minimal sugar, which was absolutely perfect. The natural sweetness from the mango and avocado were perfect, and anything sweeter would've been too much. The sago and agar boba really helped with the textural complexity, but without adding too much sweetness to the drink. For a smoothie, it definitely wasn't icy, so they did a great job in blending it together. The drink was $6.75, which seems to be on par with boba drinks these days. You can order from the standalone ordering machines, and you can see the numbers being called from a tv inside the shop. I came on a Mon afternoon, so it wasn't busy at all. A great addition to the Santa Anita Mall! read more

I understand why people go to this place. The drinks are very refreshing and fresh, perfect for the summer! I really loved The mango mochi. The cream with cereal toppings was a nice touch, mango chunks were sweet, and the mochi had a very nice chewy texture. It also wasn't too hard to suck up the contents through the straw. I'll definitely try the other fruity options. Seems like many people go to this place for the fruity items! This specific location had a lot of people (I arrived on a weekend) so my drink took around 10 minutes. Service was through a kiosk so make sure you know what to order to prevent the line from being backed up :))) There's not a lot of space inside to sit. There were four seats against the wall and maybe a small tight seating area. There are some tables outside as well! read more

Drinks are so good BUT this place need serious hygiene. There are so many flies in the store, maybe they should always keep their door closed. There's probably like 50+ flies in there, and the smell is nasty inside the store. There is a fly trap inside the waiting area and it smells rotten Maybe should close the store for a few days to deep clean, get rid of the smell so it stop attracting flies read more

Since they launched a new seasonal drink, I decided to stop by to try it. Cheese berry and yuzu berries smoothies. Not surprised to see how busy they were since a lot people ordered the same thing. The drink was well blended. I probably will get it a little less sweet if ordering the same drink. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Very disappointing experience. The store only has one self-service ordering machine, with no staff actively assisting customers. This caused a long line and unnecessary waiting, while employees stood around without helping. What made the experience worse was the staff's attitude. Several employees were noticeably rude and indifferent, showing little to no customer service. Even when standing right in front of them, it felt like being ignored completely. Good drinks mean nothing without basic respect and service. I will not be returning and would not recommend this place. read more

I went here on a Saturday afternoon a month ago and it was packed! Expect to wait at least almost an hour for your drink! There was a long time when I went but it moved pretty fast (less than half an hour) and when it's your turn, you just order from the kiosk. You enter your phone # and get a text when your order is ready. Good thing it's conveniently located in the Santa Anita mall so I just browsed around the shops while waiting for my drink. I ordered the Mochi Mango ($6.75) and Mochi Barley Burst ($6.95). The mango was very delicious and the mochi was very chewy and freshly made without being too sweet since I ordered it half sweet. I would say it's 8/10. The mochi barley burst was decent. I enjoyed the mochi but didn't really get much of a barley taste. Maybe it's because I ordered it half sweet? I would rate it 6/10. Pricing is reasonable and the drinks are pretty good but I wouldn't want to wait an hour for my drink. Probably not a good idea to go on the weekend unless you don't mind waiting an hour. If you go on the weekend, I would recommend going right when they open so the wait won't be long! read more

My partner loves drinking at 3Cat! They don't have food at this place! Service is good and consistent since they have a screen telling consumers when their orders is being prepared and ready! The ambiance is average with mostly blenders making noise! I ordered the Dragon Well Green Tea and the tea is nice and refreshing! In addition, I got the matcha mousse to add a creamy texture and consistency to my tea! I also got it 30% sugar as well! My partner loves the SnowFrost, which is a seasonal item! The barley popping boba is nice and crunchy and the rice flavor tastes a bit fermented and tastes like sake! TIP: This is at the Santa Anita mall and near California Pizza Kitchen! There's also restrooms located in the alleyway near 3CAT and CPK! read more

The mochi jelly is amazing. Wonderful texture, not too sweet. Definitely my favorite drink shop

it saddens me that i must continue to avoid this location. the fly infestation has shown no improvement in three weeks. other restaurants in the plaza are not as affected, and i sympathize with the baristas as flies continuously land on them and on freshly prepared drinks. read more

This location is a bit on the small side so a bit cramped with the line to order going out the door. I ordered one of the seasonal dragon well tea drinks with soybean mousse. The mousse was good but didn't mix well with the tea and I have to say that dragon well tea was not the tea for me. Also, there was only one screen for ordering here. read more

If you find yourself at The Shops at Santa Anita, don't forget to stop by 3CAT for some good boba! You can order on the kiosks they have stationed by the door or via Snackpass. I'm a huge advocate for Snackpass, so I appreciate when stores are working in collaboration with them! I ordered the Golden Amber Milk Tea which is a variation of their oolong milk tea. It was just the right amount of sweetness. I did make the mistake of not remembering to put any toppings, however. Never assume that drinks come with toppings already! (But that's on me!) While you wait, you can take a look around and search for all the cat decor they have scattered across the store. It's all really cute! This place is open a bit later than other boba shops which is a huge plus. It's definitely more convenient to go here, though, if you were already at the mall shopping or hanging out. Otherwise, it may be out of the way to find parking in the parking lots and make your way here. read more

2/23/25 - This boba shop is located within The Shops at Santa Anita. The inside of the store is really clean and filled with cat decorations. You can order at the kiosk or you can make an advanced purchase via Snackpass. I ordered the Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea which, before tax, came out to $6.75 which accounts for the $1 Osmanthus Oolong Tea Jelly I added as a topping. I didn't drink it until the day after ordering it and it still tasted as if I had just bought it that day. It was light and not overwhelmingly sweet. I don't love the fact that boba, in general, now costs $7-8+ at minimum, but this one was good! read more

Please get a 2nd and 3rd ordering kiosk. The line is unnecessary and manufactured / man made by refusing to add more kiosks or having cashiers take orders. There's no shade outside its so hot we're suffering out there's only one kiosk - Sincerely writing this while waiting in a long line because online ordering has been turned off which it is most Saturdays and I'm burning up read more

I came when it was superrrrr busy. But they still made the drinks relatively fast for the amount of people who ordered. The mango sweet dew is so refreshing and delicious!! I asked for NO agar boba, best decision i could've done. I think it would've been too much. I saw them have a whole bin full of fresh mangos, and weight it carefully for each batch. It was very good people watching, just very cool to see how fast they made the drinks with the limited amount of space they have, all of them working together really well. Well done!! Will definitely be returning back. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Mango sweet dew - asked for NO AGAR! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

Wanted to check out the hype of this tea place. I give 2/5 for the mochi matcha because the mochi was a bit under cooked. I tasted small bits of mochi flour which resembles red beans. The matcha was weak. I tasted milk more than matcha. They need to be more generous with their matcha powder. 3/5 for the Avomango Sweet Dew because the avocado over powered the mango. There are some mango chunks in the drink, but I suggest adding a bit more mango puree so that the avocado is not overpowering the mango. I ordered from the kiosk so service is nonexistent. Interior is nice and clean. I don't think I will return anytime soon. read more

3CAT Handcrafted Beverage - Mango mochi - Bubble Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

3cat always has a long line and busy atmosphere but all for good reason. You order through a kiosk while waiting in line so it might be faster to order online depending on the how the wait is. I haven't tried their other drinks but their mango mochi drink is the best. My partner and I were deciding between 3Cat, cha redefine, and warabimochi kamakura. We obviously chose 3Cat and don't regret that decision. For the size of their drinks and the price, the value is much higher compared to the other shops. We got one mango mochi with the cream top. It's always our go to and never disappoints. The mochi is thick enough for that mochi chewiness but thin enough to not have to struggle to get it through the straw. It's one of my favorite toppings in the drink. We also got one mango mochi with cheese mousse and it was really good too. The difference in taste is not significant. I would probably go back and forth between the two for a just a slight change. I would recommend 3Cat to all my friends and family. They will not disappoint. They have so many options and unique flavors with high quality ingredients. read more
