A super cute minimalist dream. The decor is super adorable with a whole wall of Polaroids with pictures of cats. You order on your own at two different counters. There's a wide variety of boba options including avocado and mango. I tried their seasonal Oreo drink that was perfectly sweetened. Definitely stop by if you're in the area. Drinks range from $5-$6 read more

Came here for the first time on Saturday and I really enjoyed the drink I got so I came back again two days later. I went during the night on both days and it was pretty packed. When I went the first night, there were no seats left but I got my drink within ten minutes. The second time, there were plenty of seats so I thought my drink will be ready within a few minutes but it took more than 30 minutes. You are able to order online for store pickup so I'm guessing that's why it took so long as I didn't really see that many people ordering. I really like their mochi drinks. I tried both their ube mochi and their matcha mochi drink and both drinks were great. The mochi was nice and chewy and they give a good amount. I got 50% sweet and it was pretty sweet. I think I will try 25% sweet next time. If I had to pick, I would say try the ube over the matcha one was it is more unique. The ube drink comes with jasmine milk tea rather than just milk which I like because it's not as heavy. They do have ube and milk though. The place is really cute as it is cat theme. They have a cat picture collage on the wall as well as cute cat figurines on the counter. read more

Drinks: The Mochi Matcha was pleasant! The matcha was decent, but not the best. But the star of the show was the rich mochi! It was almost like a liquid-y pudding texture, so good!! I would definitely go back to get the rich mochi again, but perhaps in another drink. However, it was initially difficult to drink anything with the straw because of how thick the consistency of everything in the cup was. I'd suggest letting the matcha smoothie melt a bit first so it could be a bit easier to drink. Ambiance: There was some seating at this location, but don't get your hopes up, since it was packed when we arrived and we barely snatched the last corner of open seating when we arrived. The place is decked out in really cute cat images, posters, and decorations. If you like cats, you'll really like it here haha! Service: All orders are placed on 2 kiosks in front of the counter. They text your number when your order is ready. However, it was so packed the day we went that it took 40 minutes for our drinks to come out. Although I'd like to come back to try other drinks, I don't think I'd wait 40 minutes for my drink again. Parking: There is a small parking lot behind the store, but it isn't much compared to the amount of customers they get. Restroom: They have one single-stall bathroom near the entrance. It's kept decently clean. read more

First timers here yesterday! Parking was hard to find, but we did come on a weekend. Mango sweet dew: Reminds me of the dessert mango pomelo sago. The mango flavor was fresh and the sago was perfectly cooked. Fruit melody: Ordered it in less sugar, and it was perfect! I could really taste the tea and the infusion of citrus. It was super refreshing. My friend ordered a third drink, but she left before I could ask her about what she ordered. The drinks were very enjoyable, but parking was a nightmare. I'll probably only swing by on weekdays from now on. read more

3Cat Handcrafted Beverage - Crowded on father's day - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I love coming here for some fresh fruit smoothies! My go to is the avomango with minimal sugar. It's refreshing and delicious. While some places have one flavor overpower the other, I love that you could taste both the avocado and mango in their drinks. Also it's a plus with the mango chunks inside! I recently tried their peach series and it is definitely a must try! I love the icy peach as it has diced peach chunks at the bottom. I've gone to several 3Catea locations around the area and each spot has always been packed with customers. By far, this location had the fastest service even with so many people. The place could get pretty busy and loud with people hanging out. Parking really depends-- I've had to park on the street each time I've came here. read more

I'm addicted to the Barley Mochi Burst. I live far, so I buy 3 at a time and it kept well for 2 days. Order ahead online, then you don't need to wait in the store for too long. The screen in the store will tell you your number. The insulated bag they give is also nice. It fits either 2 or 4 drinks. read more

Drinks are always made super quick and the teas are very consistent. My go to is the jasmine milk tea with oat milk and less sugar. It gets pretty busy on the weekends but the drinks are definitely worth the wait! read more

If you appreciate cats and you want boba. You'll definitely want to come to this place. There are cute little cat books at the front counter for you to flip through. Parking: There is a back parking lot but spaces are very limited since it's located in a busy plaza. But there are side streets available to park as well! Interior: I don't think they have AC, it was pretty much musty with the amount of people in the room. Drink: Mango Sweet Dew (less sugar, less ice): Would highly recommend it to those who want a refreshing light mango taste. There were bits of mango and agar agar boba balls in the drink. Overall, the best drink that I have Cheese Grape (cheese mousse, jasmine green tea, fresh grape): I would say this is one of the specialty drinks that was surprisingly good despite cheese and grape. The grape drink reminded me of a light Asian carbonated soda drink. Overall, the drink was not that sweet and the cheese paired off definitely worked. read more

If you're feeling like drinking a dessert, this is the spot. Expect a long wait as they get quite busy. I had the mochi mango and I loved it but wouldn't go there frequently as it's definitely not diet-friendly lol. This is more of a treat than a regular stop. I also liked their coconut matcha. It's refreshing and I saw many people get it. Couldn't really taste the matcha but eh. read more

The line is quite long, the slush taste okay a bit sweet for the peach drink in my opinion but I might try another flavor next time to give it another try. People seem to like it with long orders and lines. read more

3cat is located in a great area and is the perfect treat to enjoy while wandering the mall. They have a convenient ordering system through Snackpass. I'd recommend instead of waiting in line. I ordered the Cheese Peach with agar boba. The peach was perfectly ripe and not too overly sweet. The boba was perfectly chewy. I'm excited to visit and try the mochi drinks next time. read more

The drinks were great, and the ordering process was quick and effortless. Would come back again

Drinkable mochi. That's all you need to know. Great blends like Matcha or Mango, plenty of boba and other items to add on. Fresh Oolong Tea with cheese foam is also fantastic, and it seems no drink here lacks the "wow factor". In the SGV, the boba competition is keen, and I don't think you'll leave anywhere truly unsatisfied. But 3Catea is the only place I know that serves mochi in a cup, and I literally don't care about the other places after trying this one! read more

We went in the evening after dinner and was able to order right away on the kiosk, no wait. Parking available in the back or alongside the streets. Their specialty drinks are the blended mousse and mochi drinks, but I opted for what I know I would like: osmanthus oolong milk tea with osmanthus jelly. The drink was good - fragrant and flavorful. The jelly topping was an additional $1 and regretfully, there wasn't a whole lot of it in the drink. I would say the drink is quite comparable to my #1 spot right now, but the osmanthus flavor for the jelly was less fragrant and the jelly was a bit too soft so it didn't delivery the texture you'd normally expect. We came in from the back and the space has capacity to be cleaner. It didn't smell too great in the back. read more

i've only ever been to a 3catea at the santa anita mall but this location is just as good! i tried the iced jasmine tea with cheese foam and i'd say it's a solid drink. you really can't go wrong with 3catea, but to all my mildly lactose intolerant friends, please make sure to locate the nearest bathroom if you get the cheese foam read more

3Cat Handcrafted Beverage - iced jasmine tea with cheese foam - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Waiting 45 minutes for two drinks is hard to justify. While the drinks were decent, they certainly weren't worth the long wait. Previous reviews point to ongoing issues with operations and efficiency. I understand the need for fresh drinks, but when a worker is making the same five drinks from scratch repeatedly instead of batching them, it clearly leads to major delays. On top of that, there were over 25 people waiting inside, and not a single one had a drink--this speaks volumes about the poor timing. This is the only 3catea we've been to, and we won't be coming back--I'm serious about that. read more

This place is super cute with their cat theme decor! I thought they had pretty unique and interesting drinks options. My friend and I got the avomango sweet dew and the mango sweet dew. I wasn't too sure about the idea of avocados in a smoothie but the avomango sweet dew was really good! It's made with avocado, coconut milk, house made milk, agar boba and pomelo. Surprisingly the ingredients blended well together. Personally I liked it more than the mango drink I got. If you really like mango then I think you would like the mango sweet dew but for me it was too much mango lol. It's self service where you order on their kiosk. avomango sweet dew : 8/10 mango sweet dew: 6.5/10 read more

There's street parking in front of the store or you can also park in the lot behind the store. The interior is cute and nicely decorated with cat decors. They have wifi, outlets, and tables so definitely can study here. They also have a restroom for customers. You can order online on their website or on their kiosk machine inside the store. I always get the avomango sweet dew with 50% sugar. It is really good and my parents like it too! It is a smoothie with fresh avocado, coconut milk, house made milk, agar boba, and pomelo. read more

I had the seasonal grape and pear green tea drink. It was good. But this place isn't good for hanging out with friends and chit chat. It's too NOISY!!! They got their music up really loud. My friend and I had to shout during our conversation. Sad thing is they don't have outdoor seating. read more

Drinks can take a while to be made especially when it's busy, but the drinks are pretty good! I like that there are plenty of seats available inside and cute cat decorations around. There is parking available in the back lot and street front. I got their seasonal Mango mochi and Super Orange fruit tea. The mango mochi has drinkable mochi which I really enjoyed. The mango was fresh and very refreshing, but the drink got really icy and creamy at the end from all the whipped cream. The super orange had a generous amount of orange slices and was very refreshing. This boba shop has so many options of boba to choose from and I think I would come back to try their other unique drinks. read more

Super yummy drinks and spacious location, but an absurdly long wait after ordering at the kiosk would def recco you must order ahead and wait until it's ready to show up, pretty worth it if you order ahead. I would come back again if I am in the area! read more

I promised my youngest daughter that I would get her a Brulee Boba Milk Tea since we had a little incident (the floor drank it LOL) and she didn't get a chance to drink her Brulee Boba Milk Tea that we got from 3Catea in Pasadena. So here we are at 3Catea in San Gabriel... Well, it turned out that this 3Catea location is where Bambu used to be. I really liked Bambu drinks, but unfortunately, they didn't survive the COVID-19 pandemic period and closed down. Anyway, we're happy to have 3Catea at this location. There's street parking in the front of shop and parking behind the shop. I normally park in the back... do be careful because it is tight back there. Upon entry, I found it to be bigger than before, but I don't think they expanded their walls. I think it's the bright colors that makes it look bigger. Anyway, it's a really adorable cat theme boba shop. They have framed pictures of cats on one side of their walls. There are two kiosks for ordering... the going trend nowadays. Ordering and paying was easy. Prices are average, but I find the cup size to be small for the price IMHO. Got the receipt with number on it. They were a little busy so we waited a little bit. They actually have good space with lots of inside seating along the walls. We got the Avomango Sweet Dew with agar boba and Brulee Boba Milk Tea. Avomango was amazingly tasty! Avocado was delicious and had the right sweetness. Mango chunks were fresh and ripe. Agar boba aka crystal boba was fantastic. All the flavors worked well together... I will definitely get it again... I have to see if they have a larger size because it wasn't enough for me LOL. My daughter enjoyed her drink... it had very good portions of boba... maybe too much for the small cup size LOL. We didn't have much contact with the staff except when picking up our drinks. The drinks came in a cute bag with the cup holder inside. Now that's what I call great packaging! Thank you 3Catea! read more

Ok I love 3catea but I hated the wait here. My friends and I decided to go to 3catea after lunch so we ordered ahead on ubereats. Ubereats quoted us a 10-15 minute wait so we arrived promptly. After Ubereats said my pickup was ready, it was not and we ended up waiting A WHOLE HOUR instead of 10-15 minutes. I got the mango mochi and that's my favorite drink here but the wait time was so insane and uncalled for. If I knew it was going to be that long I would've just left or come later. The servers were so slammed with orders that I saw one hiding in the bathroom - which sucked because there was a long line for the bathroom. No on ever told us how much longer we would have to wait, we just waited and waited... read more

Solid spot for boba that's a little less packed than some of the other places in the area. What I like about this location is that there seems to be ample, comfortable seating. Plus it's easy to get in and out of with parking in the back. They have a solid option of teas. I tried the fruit melody at 25% sugar and it was the perfect ratio of something refreshing and fruity without being too sour. I'd see myself back to try more of their menu. read more

We ordered Mochi Oreo and Avomango Sweet Dew. A friend recommended this place and 'am glad I tried. Both drinks were good especially Avomango. The service needs improvments, very slow.

This place was pretty busy on a Saturday night and they had many online orders as well. There are two kiosks to place your orders. We got: 1. Avomango: This was basically an avocado milkshake with mango and milk. There were some toppings like agar boba as well. The drink didn't have much of an avocado flavor but it was pretty good overall. 2. Mochi mango: Made with rice mochi, milk, mango and some toppings. The mochi was a nice addition so you probably don't need any other toppings to add. I would definitely come back and try their other drinks although the two that I've gotten seemed to be the most popular. read more

Was in the area and wanted to try a new-to-me boba shop. It is located in a shared plaza with a small parking lot out back that fills up quickly! They have two kiosks to order from but you can also order online (which is why the wait was longer than I had anticipated). I do like that you can digitally track your spot in line, both on your phone or on the tv screen inside. My order took about 25 minutes, which was earlier than the provided estimate time (about 40 minutes). They were churning out drinks fairly quickly and the wait didn't actually feel too long. I ordered the mochi mango with brown sugar boba, 25% sweetness and the drink was delicious. Ever since having the taro taro mochi drink at OMOMO I've been searching for a place that also offers mochi toppings. This drink is the perfect refreshing drink on a hot summer day and the boba had a good consistency and texture (slightly soft and chewy). I also loved their cat-themed decor and plan to come back to try some of their other drinks. read more

Their drinks here are different and good. I really enjoyed the mousse drinks and especially the avocado mousse. I got the roasted oolong with the avocado mousse with 50% sugar. I think their regular jasmine tea with the avocado mousse is better since the oolong is overpowering. The avocado mousse is a bit lighter than the other location my coworker helped got one time. And hubby got the mango sweet dew and he enjoyed the drink. There are mango bits inside. I took 1 star off since we ordered at the store and it was a kiosk. We waited almost 30 minutes for our drinks. It was busy because of all the mobile orders online. It is a bit ridiculous to wait that long for 2 drinks. Besides that, the drinks are good! read more

This place can be REALLY busy..The drinks were good but not worth that long of a wait. When you order online through SnackPass, it gives you an estimated wait time before you order. However, when you order in person through the Kiosk, they don't give you estimated wait time until you finish ordering..I made the mistake of ordering in person on New Years and my friends and I waited 70-80 minutes for our drinks. As we waited for our drinks, more and more orders came in even though they didn't have the manpower to keep up. Other boba shops would temporarily close online order to catch up.

Love the avocado mango smoothie! First time trying this combo and coming here. I've had avocado smoothies and mango smoothies before, both of which I love. Toppings are included in the drink and they have mango bits that are sweetened (tastes a bit like soda?), boba, etc. The place is very cute too with all the cats. read more

Whether it's Monday, Wednesday or even CATurday, I feel like 3Catea can hit the spot in terms of boba cravings. Their offerings are as varied as they are interesting. Their efficiency, even with the barrage of orders they were getting from all of the customers, on a Tuesday night, no less, is something to be commended. I also love the running theme of the three cats, that can be seen in all sorts of decor and trinkets throughout the whole shop. They also have tea-less options (milk based) that still have the feeling and replicate the flavor of a boba milk tea. Highly-recommended spot! read more

4.5 stars. I got the mochi mango milk here and it is one of my favorite drinks. The sweetness of the mango carries through and sweetens the whole drink. The blended milk pairs well with the mango puree and I would recommend only ordering 25% - 50% sugar since the whole drink can get quite sweet. The mochi inside the drink adds a nice texture and it's always satisfying to drink up a chunk of mochi with the mango. The only downside with this drink is that it may be a bit difficult to mix. The thickness of the mochi, mango, and blended milk makes it difficult to evenly mix the drink. The ambiance at this location is nice and clean. It's an open area with a few tables to hang out and chill. I've only gotten one drink so I can't speak too much of this place, but I would recommend getting the mochi mango milk if you're in the area. read more

Dropped by to grab and finally tryout 3Catea. I came in on a Friday around 4pm. The shop was full but not packed and there were only 3 girls ahead of me at the kiosk. Wait time took under 20 mins which was less than the 25-30 mins wait stated on my phone notif. I really enjoy the cat theme/decor. Because the place is so small, the shop was loud. I had to step out at their back parking lot because all the convos going on were echoing in the room. I ordered the menu recommended grape drink and mango dew. The drinks that I purchased were $6.50 ea and are on the pricier side. What I did not appreciate is that the kiosk REQUIRED tip. I was going to give this place a 3 for the reasons above, but drinks are legit. Their grape drink tastes like I am eating grapes and that Mango Dew is packed with their highlight ingredients. (Pomelo was a little sour but it help balance the mango.) I would come here again, but I really worry about the wait time as I have read in other yelp reviews how insane it gets.) Last pro is that it looks like 3Catea has a good amount of staff that are hustling to get through orders. When I went, it looked like 6-7 people behind the counter. The interactions that I had were positive and professional. read more

This place is pretty solid--another trendy boba spot making waves in the SGV, and judging by the crowd, business is booming. After hearing great things from friends, I finally decided to give it a try. I ordered through the app, which I highly recommend, especially on busy nights. Even with an online order, the wait was over 45 minutes on a Friday night--so be prepared if you're stopping by during peak hours. I tried the AvoMango Dew and the Mochi Mango. Both were decent, but I preferred the AvoMango Dew. The flavors were refreshing, but nothing mind-blowing. Would I go again? Maybe--if the line wasn't too long. But I wouldn't go out of my way just to grab a drink here. I also wouldn't bring my friends here to chill or try to get work done--the place was crowded, bright, and loud. By the end of the night, the floors had become noticeably dirty and sticky, which made me want to leave as soon as I got my drink. Overall, it's worth trying once if you're curious, but I wouldn't call it a must-visit spot. read more

The store is so adorable! I love cats so and everything was cat themed, I was so happy in the store! This place is pet friendly also so I got to see a few dogs here. The super orange was super tasty and tasyed like a mixture of very fresh orange juice and grapefruit. The Mango Sweet is a very mangoy smoothie like texture and some coconut. The avomango sweet dew is similar to the mango sweet just with some avocado. All the drinks were so good and the fruit flavors are perfect! There is an ordering tablet and a cashier if you're feeling friendly! read more

I got the matcha mochi and it was so good :) the mochi was more of a soft creamy rather than tender chewy and paired wellll with the matcha drink. I adjusted the sweetness to 75 and added brown sugar boba and everything paired well together! The place gets busy so the drinks might take a while depending on the hour you go. It's self ordering on the kiosk which is beneficial go those who don't enjoy ordering haha. The inside has a good amount of seating area as well. read more

We ordered from panda delivery app. It took 20 mins to pick up the drink. We waited for a pretty long time. I guess it's because they have a long list of take out orders. I was having a very high expectation toward their drink. However, it turns out to be disappointing. I got the mango flavor milk tea. It's super sweet that I spent a whole afternoon try to finish it. The mango feels very old. Not fresh taste. I'd not recommend ordering any of their fruit tea anymore. Staff is friendly. But drink is not what I like. read more

I ordered online on a Sunday afternoon 3 drinks where the estimated time for the pick up was 20 minutes. I drove there in about 15 minutes. I ended up sitting there for another 30 minutes. The screen where it shows how long your drink will be ready kept increasing when the app said the drinks are ready... it's one thing to wait roughly the time the app says itss ready but another if the app says it's ready and when I get there the screen kept increasing the wait time. Ridiculous!!! read more
