    To go bag when I purchased 4 drinks
    Katelyn K.

    I normally visit the SG location. I happen to pass by and decided to visit this location. Free parking in the back but there is a time limit. This location is across from PCC so there was a crowd when I went during the day. I stopped by again in the evening another day and there is less crowd. This location is very bright and I feel safe to stop by in the evening. Drinks are consistent just like the SG location. There are two kiosks to order when you walked in. Overall I'm glad there's two locations around me.

    A very modern and bright boba tea shop with plenty of seating inside. They have computer screens where you can order your drinks but it was a little akward because the staff members were just standing right next to me while I was ordering. I could have very well ordered at the register but I had never been here before and didn't know the process. The staff was very kind and answered all my questions! I was a little disappointed to see that they only had coffee jelly, not any actual coffee drinks. I ended up getting the four seasons milk tea and it was good. I added boba and jelly to it but it didn't seem like there was that much boba in it, especially for how large the size was. I like that you can customize the sweetness though! Overall, a nice experience and a great option if you are a milk tea fan.

    ALittle Tea is located at a busy corner of Colorado Blvd, right across from Pasadena City College. It is super easy to spot, and there is street parking available. You order from a Kiosk, which earns a star for the convenience. I ordered an iced Oolong Black Tea and it tasted really good. Like most tea places, you get to choose different ice and sweetness level. I chose 100% regular everything, and I loved my drink! The place is a bit small, with only a couple of tables available. It also smell a bit funny but it is overall a clean place. I love how they have those little Yucult drinks on display (they offer a Yucult flavored iced tea, a must try for my next visit). I did enjoyed my drink and give it a 7/10. Service was okay and I give that a 6/10. Overall, I will come again if I am ever in the area.

    I've noticed this spot ever since Bun Bun Bo closed and A Little Tea took over the space, but I never had a chance to try it until recently. Since my friend wanted to go to Odyssey Games afterward, I suggested we stop by here. You can order either from a self-ordering screen or directly with the cashier. Since it was my first visit, I ordered at the counter to ask for recommendations. Joel, the cashier, was very kind and helpful. I asked for his recommendation and he mentioned that the oolong milk tea was his favorite. Since I wasn't in the mood for milk, I went with the oolong tea with tea jelly instead. One nice perk is that their toppings are free, which is a plus for me. The oolong tea itself wasn't particularly special, but I did enjoy the tea jelly as it added more depth and a stronger tea flavor. I ordered 50% sweetness, and it still ended up being a bit sweet for my taste. Prices are reasonable, and parking is fairly convenient with a small lot in the back as well as street parking available. I wouldn't mind coming here again to try their other drinks.

    This is such a hidden gem! ALittle Tea has great prices for their drinks and includes boba, pearl, tea jelly, or coffee jelly in the price! It's a great value for the college kids nearby at PCC. I really like their milk teas, teas aren't too strong and very smooth. We stop by frequently when we're in the area. Drinks are usually ordered from one of two kiosks by the wall and they make the drinks pretty fast. There are multiple tables inside if you want to have your drink. Most of the time when I go there's at least one or more open tables. Highly recommend this boba shop and will definitely be coming back.

    Ordering was very easy which you can do on the Kiosk or at the register. I wish they had more freeze options as I asked if they could do a mango freeze with sago but they said it's not possible. The sago is much smaller than what I'm used to at other bubble tea places. I did enjoy the grapefruit included in the mango sago. You can customize your level of ice and sweetness which is a plus. The store was very clean and vibrant. It seemed like a nice place to sit and maybe read a book or get some light work done but not long hours.

    four season milk tea with pearl and passion fruit tea
    Leo Y.

    Located on a main street in Pasadena with plenty of dining options nearby, this classic go to boba spot unfortunately missed the spot for me with their pearls. The tea was nicely brewed but the pearls were on the harder side which makes me wonder if it was boiled too quickly or was from the previous day. Order: four season milk tea with pearl and passion fruit tea comments: pearls could use a bit more attention but otherwise solid boba spot

    Conveniently located across the street from PCC. The drinks are reasonably priced. They offer a variety of different teas and toppings. My favorite is the milk tea or green milk tea half sweet. There's also indoor seating just in case you need to hang out or study before or after class. Parking available at the rear or their street parking as well.

    Came here after getting dessert a couple doors down. This is a convenient location for PCC students. The interior is spacious and has several tables. I saw a few people working on their laptops. They have rule for each person to order one drink if you want to "dine in". Drinks came out fast after ordering from kiosk. I ordered black milk tea with tea jelly. It was solid and the tea flavor was strong.

    We came here on a Tuesday night and we tried two of their staples- the Boba milk, tea, and the oolong tea with jelly. The place is bright and happy with a good vibe. The price is average for a Boba place. The customer service was excellent. Highly recommended. Thanks to Joel for great service.

    Left: Four Season Milk Tea with Tea Jelly and Pearl Right: Oolong Milk Tea with Boba

    Alittle has boba at an affordable price along with free two toppings as always. The parking is small but it makes sense due to the amount of businesses in the area. We got the Four Season Milk Tea with Tea Jelly and Pearls (mini boba) and the Oolong Milk Tea with boba. Four Season Milk Tea Usually for 70% sweetness, I was excepting it to be a bit more on the sweeter side but it tasted a bit less. Tea Jelly and pearl nice and chewy. The milk tea is creamy and delicious. Oolong Milk Tea The milk tea tastes fresh and has the subtle sweetness to it which is important in a milk tea. Boba is chewy and not too soft/hard. Also at 70%, it's not as sweet. The staff was nice and friendly and I was able to pick up my online order immediately with a small hiccup of trying to find my order number . Clean and modern interior just like the other ALittles except with a lot more seating and tables compared to the Rowland and San Gabriel locations. Perfect for students wanting to study and hangout with friends.

    Medium Four Season Milk Tea with Boba and Tea Jelly
    Sarah T.

    You're really missing out if you haven't tried ALittle Tea! Delicious and super affordable. This location also has chewier boba than the San Gabriel one. There's tables, outlets, a restroom and wifi too! A great place to work or hangout. Parking is in the back with a 45min limit. I usually get the Four Season Milk Tea with Boba and Tea Jelly, no sugar. The tea flavor has a bitter and roasted taste without being too heavy like a black tea. They always pair their milk teas with a creamer, which gives it a smooth and refreshing taste. Most add-ons are free, so I would recommend the boba and the tea jelly. This is by far the best tea jelly I've had - slightly sweet with a tea flavor you can actually taste! Overall, could not recommend this place enough!

    While in the neighborhood we were looking for a good tea to go with lunch and A little Tea was close by so we decided to try it out. The store is clean and looks brand new with modern decor and cute neon signage on every wall. There is a self order kiosk with plenty of options to choose from. My daughter and I shared an oolong milk tea with added boba and it was delicious! Not powder or too sweet, we got ours at 75% and it was just right for a sweet treat. The staff seemed nice and our order came out within a few minutes. We will definitely come by again to try another drink but this experience was excellent. It's on the corner of Bonnie and Colorado so there's street parking with a parking lot for the nearby restaurants as well.

On this weekday I came for the Jasmine Milk Tea. Last time this was under the Tea Latte section, but they menu changed and there is now a dedicated Milk Tea section. And also there is a Jasmine Latte with Espresso in it, but that is under the Espresso section. I was able to get it chilled but without ice. The lowest sweetness level was 50%, but I asked nicely and they estimated they could make a 25% for me. It turned out wonderfully, extremely floral, barely any sweetness so the Jasmine aroma and taste were the dominant ones. In the food side I selected the popcorn chicken. I can take some heat but only a small bit, so I asked for the spice powder in the side. I just looove the texture of the popcorn chicken. You can see in the picture that it's a very thin breading, almost not there, but the texture seems almost as if an invisible rice flour was tossed in the outside. Still juicy in the inside, and small pieces to make every bite pop-able. The chicken comes with a ranch sauce, though to me it's a second thought. Add a hint of spice or even have the chicken as is, no ranch is needed.

Traditional espresso drinks, however, aren't their strong suit. Pros: Plenty of seating, lots of outlets, reliable Wi-Fi, and a comfortable space to work or study. They also have a solid rewards program if you visit regularly, plus various avocado toast options and Asian-inspired ice cream if you're looking for more than coffee. My favorite drink is the brown sugar latte (I'd recommend 25% or 50% sweetness), followed by the Thai tea latte. Cons: Traditional espresso drinks feel more modernized than authentic. On my most recent visit (Friday around 10:20 a.m.), I ordered a cappuccino that took 15 minutes to receive and was surprised it only came in 12 oz or 16 oz. I was expecting a smaller cup like other places. The 12 oz tasted more like a latte with extra steamed milk than a classic cappuccino. The ube and hojicha lattes were decent, but I've had better elsewhere. Parking in front is limited to 15 minutes, but there's additional one-hour parking in the rear.

To make matters worse, we were told to leave the patio an hour before the shop was even closing. If the patio has different hours, that should be clearly communicated instead of asking paying customers to leave early. Overall, this was a frustrating experience. Between the unfriendly service, flavorless coffee, and being asked to leave well before closing, I won't be coming back. There are plenty of other cafés in Pasadena that offer much better coffee and treat their customers with respect.
