Most of the decor here seems lost in translation from this import from Taiwan; however, they are a drink spot that specializes in boba milk teas and fruit smoothies. I got a strawberry smoothie with jellies and a salt cream foam. My wife got the same, but mango. Both of the drinks were upwards of $8. Though expensive, flavor was good and, if you like jellies, they load them up here. If I had a choice, I prefer the offerings at 3CAT in Arcadia for mango drinks; however, I think this is a great spot on a hot day in Pasadena.

There's no public restroom but there's some seating inside. I got the hoji matcha cloud ($7.45) at less sweet. The price has gone up since the last time I've been here, which is expected.

It looks like a great drink and has great color, and the first few sips I really liked the rich smoothie like texture. But as I kept drinking all the ice chunks came out and it turned into an melting icy drink. The matcha also had good flavor but it wasn't blended well, there was a ton of unmixed matcha powder throughout the drink so every sip was dried out with the matcha powder. Overall, it just wasn't a great drink or something I would come back for

The matcha mochi added a nice soft chew texture at the bottom and the Matcha Mousse left a melt-in-your-mouth feel. The Mango Sunshine Souffle Pancake was devine! The pancakes aren't too sweet, but the mango puree and cheese mousse brought a creamy sweetness and the fresh fruit added provided nice pops of bright sweetness. Super well balanced.

Service has been fine; you can order from a touch screen or at the end of the counter. Unfortunately, the quality has been hit or miss lately. We have enjoyed the lavender latte and pistachio toddy latte, as well as the burrito. However, a few recent misses include: - Pistachio croissant with an overpowering alcohol flavor, like someone used too much pistachio extract instead of real pistachios. - The matcha banana latte tasted very watery and bitter, and didn't seem to make the most of either flavor. It somehow added up to less than the sum of its parts, which was a bummer for $9.50. - Not exactly a miss, but the person behind the counter cautioned me that the coffee cake I tried to order was too stale. I appreciated that . . . but why are stale pastries even on display? We have also had several false starts attempting to order things on the menu that they are all sold out of. This isn't the end of the world, but when it happens multiple times, it starts to feel like the signage is more for decor than information about what's truly available. I also had a strange experience trying to use the restroom. I could barely reach it behind all of the storage, and even when I did get inside, I could not for the life of me find the light switch and had to use my phone's flashlight to see. This was a while ago, so maybe this part is better now, but it contributed to the overall feeling that things are not quite on track. I hope that they can resolve whatever issues are happening behind the scenes, because this is exactly the kind of place we want to support, and I still think it has a lot of potential!

This location is small, efficient, and clean. Service is very friendly even though it's run only by two employees! I got milk tea with less iced and less sugar.

I went this past Sunday for the Book Swap that was advertised on Eventbrite... this was located in the breezeway outside, not inside of the actual bookstore. I did go into the bookstore and they had a variety of genres and little nick-nacks for bibliophiles to purchase. I didn't partake of the Boba (perhaps another visit) but I did have a nice walk around. Parking lot is tight here, but know there is parking on the back side of the building off Los Robles. I must mention that there are a few restaurants in this corner and they smelled delicious!

When you first walk in, you're welcomed to a wide open space with ample and varied seating, with couches, traditional chairs and tables, and little clusters of two chairs and an end table for parties of 2. There is also a massive selfie wall to the left, perfect for your Instagram moment. The jasmine tea and delicious boba are both freshly made. The price is a bit high for just boba, but you're paying in part for real estate. Service varies wildly. The older gentleman is gruff and unhelpful. The young ladies who man the front desk are far friendlier, and much more helpful. There is plenty of street and structure parking in old town Pasadena, and this is a short walk from a number of them.

Most recent visit was on a Tuesday late Jan 2026. I've been here a few times and liked it, I remember they had a mazapán drink that was super good so was looking forward to that again. Walking in the decor and menu generally the same. The kiosk was not working so had to place order upfront and it looked like only one girl was staffed there and she gave off the vibe that she did not want to be there. The mazapan drink was still up on the menu but the employee said they no longer make that, no explanation why it was still up there. Then seemed really impatient cuz I had to think about what to get instead. Ended up ordering a taro milk tea size 16 oz which took almost 10 minutes to make which I thought was way too long considering no one else was there. When I finally got it, it looked like a kids size there's no way that was 16 oz and tasted completely mediocre. Also cost $7 before tip which I regret giving an extra $1 too. Yikes with all the other boba and coffee shops in Pasadena they cannot afford to offer such low quality and poor service. Will not be back again.
