the drinks here are so good but why does it take a whole hour for a drink to be made? they are so understaffed and so slow. even when you do online orders, you still have to wait an hour. for some reason when you order online, the details of the order get completely wrong. for example, i ordered toppings through the online platform but in person, they said my order never said anything about adding a topping. so in the end i had to wait another hour for them to make a completely new drink. what's the point of me ordering 40 minutes ahead of time if their system is just going to mess it up and make me PURCHASE a brand new drink and wait a whole other hour? these people don't know how to manage a store or do their job. sah bi read more

ALittle Tea - 4 season milk tea. With mini pearl boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I surprisingly actually really enjoyed this boba shop! They're started by the Wushiland family and offer cheap, affordable boba with toppings included which is insane! I recommend coming early as there is a queue (sometimes long, sometimes short), and it takes awhile for drinks to come out. We came before opening so we were the first order. There's also a kiosk if you want to skip the wait. The interior is pretty modern and simple, and there is a waiting/ sitting area for your drinks. I got 3 drinks for around $13 and I probably should have added toppings since it was included, but I did not. The drinks came out ice cold which I loved, and the flavors were good and not watered down at all. I was actually surprised at how decent the drinks were. The cashier was also great at recommending sweetness levels. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area, have the time, and want some boba! read more

Saw a HUGE line here during the weekday at 8-9pm while driving by and was curious what everyone was waiting for. Wanted to give it a try so luckily my friend and I had the patience and time to wait around. Came around 5pm on a Saturday and our overall wait time was a little over 60 minutes to order and get our drink. Parking is either street or you can park in the Focus Plaza and walk out to the street. The ordering process was via kiosk so there are no interactions with the staff other than calling out your drink number. Their menu seem very simple and nothing fancy. Basic tea/milk tea and they offer a few free toppings such as coffee jelly, boba, pearl or tea jelly. Other toppings such as cream, pudding, etc is extra charge of $.50 which isn't bad. We had ordered a jasmine milk tea and four season milk tea. DO NOT THROW YOUR RECEIPT AWAY. They call out your number and verify via receipt. Saw a few people who threw theirs away. Tea and milk was definitely good. Very different than other boba places I've had. I've never had four seasons but I did really enjoy it there which makes me want to try four seasons at other locations. Prices were reasonable. Would I come back? Maybe but only if the line wasn't long. I don't think it was worth the wait for $12 to wait 60+ minutes. read more

I visited Alittle Tea recently and was pleasantly surprised to find no line when I went. You can easily place your order through their kiosk and wait for it. I tried their oolong milk tea with 70% sugar, and it was surprisingly sweet and delicious. The boba were soft and chewy, making the drink even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a cheap boba option in the San Gabriel Valley, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Medium was 3.99 and large was 4.99. Definitely cheaper than any other 626 boba shops around here. I'd recommend to come here on a weekday to avoid the weekend crowds. read more

ALittle Tea - Oolong Milk Tea w/ boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Cheapest boba Ive seen in a while! With the price point I wasnt expecting too much however it was decently yummy! I ordered a black milk tea and it had a good amount of tea flavor and was not super sweet. Only downside is that it gets super busy and you may expect to wait 20minutes for your drink. The boba texture could be better, mines was very soaked and couldn't fit through the straw. read more

This place has one of the cheapest boba drinks in 626 area. The cheapest drinks were around $3 and the most expensive drinks did not go past $5-$6. I ordered the Passion Fruit Green Tea with boba. You can add however many toppings you would like and boba, pearl, and jelly are all free. The only thing about this place is the wait time is somewhat long for a boba shop. It took a little over 20 mins for my drinks to come out. Besides that, the boba was pretty good and honestly better than some expensive places. Overall, would recommend!! read more

ALittle Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Great prices, reminds me of boba from Taiwan, huge selection, large waiting area! You can order from the two kiosks they have at the front and once you order they'll call your number! There is a little of a wait for your drink just because of how popular it is but nothing too bad! I got the green milk tea, 30% sugar with tea jelly and it was delicious! I don't think they make it with real milk (at least it didn't taste like it) but it really reminded me of tea I would get from 50嵐 in Taiwan! Also I got 3 drinks for under like $15 which is unheard of these days. read more

I drive by this place often and usually see a long line out the door. When I passed by on a Wednesday around 7 pm, there was no line at all so I decided to finally try it! Though they do have a small seating area, they don't have tables (it's more of a grab-and-go place). There seems to be a lot of online orders since there were many to-go drinks in bags, but luckily it didn't affect the wait time for in-store orders. I ordered and got my drink in less than 5 min. I ordered the... Large black milk tea with coffee jelly, 70% sweetness ($5.19 w/ tax): It has a strong milk taste and mild tea flavor, which I didn't mind. The coffee jelly tasted plain, quite stiff, and cut too big. It doesn't easily go up the straw so you'd have to stab at the jelly to eat it. I asked the barista for a sweetness level recommendation and 70% was just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. Even without asking for ice adjustment, they only put a small amount of ice so you get a good amount of tea! Overall it was a very pleasant and swift experience. You get a decent drink for a good price. read more

ALittle Tea - Large black milk tea with coffee jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Cheap, efficient, and tasty is all I ask for when it comes to boba and ALittle Tea checks off all the boxes. I came here with a classmate on a weekday morning a few minutes after the shop opened and oh boyyy, there was already a bit of a wait. Luckily we only waited about 5-10 minutes, and not an hour, which I can totally see it being during weekend midday times. The shop itself was straightforward, no frills, walk-in, order on the machines, wait for your drink and skedaddle. No tables to mingle or anything, just grab your drink/s and go. I ordered the black tea macchiato at 50% sweet and it was perfect! It came with the sea salt cream on top and I think it cost maybe $4. I was eyeballing some of the other drinks too like the matcha and the regular milk teas. I'll try those soon. Will definitely be back! Probably in the morning when the shop first opens. read more

Decent boba at a comparatively cheap price, with some toppings free. I've tried this location and the one near PCC. Tea is strong enough that you'll want to avoid it any later than mid afternoon, if you're sensitive to caffeine. If you get yours with no ice, don't expect it to be cold, unlike some other places. Whether that's good or bad is personal preference. Cup size is pretty good, especially given the price. read more

Mango coconut boba special is the best. A little bit of a wait here ~20 min but bring your phone and you can put your order in advance and walk around. Sometimes you have to check if they already called your name. Shows a lot how swamped they get here and quality of tea! read more

-boba milk tea is 10/10 (tastes just like boba from Taiwan and the medium w/ boba is only $3.99 which is the cheapest boba I've seen in a long time!!) -boba texture is nice and chewy ( and they offer some free toppings like their boba and coffee jelly) -it can get pretty busy during peak hours but definitely not as bad as it was when they first opened read more

ALittle Tea - Black milk tea with boba @aly.foodie - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Grand opening today, they opened at 11am but the line is close to 50min to 1.5hrs. They are limiting everyone to 5 drinks per order, with no grand opening specials. Regular milk tea is nothing special and boba is mediocre compared to some of the other in the area. However, they have better hours than ChiCha Sanchen. read more

I still maintain that it is super budget friendly ($4 base + still has free toppings including regular boba, mini boba, and the TEA JELLY which is actually really tasty), and I find that the Four Seasons milk tea has really grown on me, and this boba shop is my go-to for milk tea. It just hits the spot, slightly aromatic, perfect mouth feel. And the busyness of this spot speaks to its consistent quality (depending on when you go, the wait can be 15+ minutes because so many people will order 4+ drinks). read more

I rmb this place had people waiting out the door when it first opened. Luckily I came on a weekday within the first hour that it opened and there was only 1 person waiting in front of me. The inside is the store is clean and spacious. I got the Ovaltine tea latte. I ordered it with less sweet and less sugar. I think the drink was good, maybe just a tad sweet for my taste. I also like that there's free topping. I've also came back a few times after the initial visit. I'll be honest that their tea doesn't have a strong flavor, so if you're looking for quality tea, this is NOT the place for you. But if you're a poor high school student or just want some kind of a fruit tea or not super picky about boba, I think this place is just fine. It's pretty reasonable for the pricing. The only thing that I don't like is the small parking lot in the back. Btw, there's usually a 30 min wait after you ordered since there's at least 10 orders before you and some people order 3-4 drinks at a time, so expect a bit of a wait. read more

It was one of those moments when I realized...you really do get what you paid for. What was I really expecting from 3.50$ tea lol I got the Four Seasons tea and the boyfriend got the yakult green tea and my four seasons tasted like the horizon milk with a drip of tea and then the yakult drink tasted water down. YIKES. We finished it only because we didn't want anything to go to waste, but yah I'm good trying it once. read more

4 stars: LoOooOoOoongongong wait (on average) Shortest I've waited (weekday afternoons--10 minutes) Longest--(weekend nights / any night 45-1 hour) 5 stars: -Four Seasons MT -Matcha Latte Wait time especially nighttime & weekends is ridiculously long even if you order 1 drink (~1 hr or close to that) Order: 2 kiosks (mostly see ppl order here) 2 registers Accepts Apple pay, Amex as well, tap/swipe Then sit & wait for your number to be called (sometime difficult for me because they call numbers in chinese sometimes & forget to repeat in English) Ppl also order & return to pick up later I see them fulfill orders placed online too Conclusion: If you have time to kill & wait to enjoy some inexpensive boba MTs, then try it out!!! More milk heavy VS tea (FYI) The free optional toppings: "Pearl" mini boba, regular boba, coffee jelly Pay extra: -Haagen daz ice cream, egg pudding, etc. (I forgot) Drink prices: -start at about $4.50-5.50 (VS competitors in SGV boba MTs are around $7-8) Drink options: -Fruit teas, MTs, lattes, ovaltine lattes, etc. Sweetness adjustable (30% my preference) Parking: Free curbside (limited green lane & regular--fits about 3-4 vehicles) Park in back street parking lot surrounding plaza read more

Customer service is one of the worst I've seen. The staff will stare at you and walk away instead of helping. Tea is definitely one of the cheapest and I would order here more if I didn't feel disrespected every time I come here. read more

I came on a Sunday after lunch and the line to order was not too long! I've always wanted to try this spot but the line has always been out the door. They have two stations for ordering (one at the cashier with a worker and another at a machine). I ordered their oolong milk tea and it was pretty tasty. Their prices are definitely on the cheaper end, especially when compared to other boba spots in the area. While the line to order wasn't too long, the wait for our drinks was long. But with the quality and price, I would say the wait is worth it! read more

The line was long when I get there but it went fast! I saw someone mention the lack of grand opening specials but honestly didn't matter to me since the drinks are less than 6$. Not to mention boba, pearl, tea jelly and coffee jelly are all free to add to your drink! The employees work fast and the store is very efficient. My black milk tea with ice cream was amazing. And my wife tried the oolong tea macchiato which was very flavorful. I definitely will be coming back! Maybe even weekly. read more

$3 boba with unlimited toppings. Tasted like the first boba I ever had at Quickly's back in 2004 :') With inflation, that's like paying $2 boba back in 2004. Does the job. read more

I have gone back twice since writing this review. I got the black milktea with coffee and tea jellies, kumquat lemonade and 4 season milktea with tea jelly. I got everything with 50% sweetness. Price: definitely on lower ends of all the boba tea shops round the area. Everything was under 5 dollars. Taste: I preferred the black milktea more because the tea flavor was more pronounced. The tea jelly was my favorite: A hint of tea flavor and not sweet at all. They used organic milk. The 50% sweetness was just the right amount of sweetness for me. The kumquat lemonade was sour and tangy. It is the right drink on a hot day. Service: there are 2 self order kiosks or you can order at the front with a person. The fulfilments of my order was quick and simple. Overall, the menu is small and simple. It makes the decision easy for an undecided individual . The tea flavors were there and the price cannot be beat. Will be back again read more

Great on the go due to lack of seatings and no tables. Not a place for gathering. Budget boba spot to save "ALITTLE" money. Line could be a hit of miss. Was surprisingly empty when I went here for the first time. Service was quick, simple, but work flow seems quite slow. Order at the kiosk to save time. The wait was about 10min and it wasn't even that busy. If it's during peak hour, this spot is definitely not worth the wait. Got the Jasmine Green Milk Tea and it was very good. If you like GMT, this is definitely a very safe pick and worth trying. Tea flavors were good and subtle. My drink was not watered down thankfully. Half sweet was perfect for me. Most topping are free (boba, pearl, coffee jelly, tea jelly) except pudding. You can add all the free topping on your order but it will only be a small tiny scoop. Literally ALITTLE scoop. Pudding and coffee jelly compliment the drink very well. Must try! Boba were very mid and I don't recommend. 5 stars just because I had a really good overall experience and my drink didn't disappoint. read more

ALittle Tea - Jasmine Green Milk Tea! - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Drinks are cheap but the wait is at least 30 minutes. They forgot a topping and we had to wait even longer. Line went out the door, but it goes by pretty fast with someone at the register and a kiosk available. The workers were kind and working hard to make all the orders. Milk teas were pretty average. Boba was cooked wrong and all stuck together so it was hard to drink. Parking is awful and you have to three-point turn out of a narrow one way lot. Thankfully they had AC but definitely not worth the wait. read more

一点点（點點 ）A little tea can be described in two words, deliciously affordable. I tried the Four Seasons Milk Tea with Boba and smaller boba (Pearl) and also the Oolong Macchiato with Tea Jelly. The four seasons Milk Tea was the perfect tea for me being creamy and having a complex aromatic tea taste that ends in harmony. The 30% sugar level was the sweet spot! My mom's Oolong Macchiato had a rich tea taste and creamy milk foam, the tea Jelly was especially good as well (Like a more al dente Ai Yu). Overall, I've never had such affordable boba in LA on top of being so good (Their boba, Pearl, and Tea Jelly are all free toppings so a $4 Tea is $4 even with all those toppings), I've tried multiple $8-$9 bobas which are no where near 一点点 (A little tea's) quality and taste. When I'm back in Sans Gabriel I'll definitely be trying more of their teas! read more

Went at 8:50 and they close at 9:00. When we got there, there was still a line. They let everyone order until the door closed at 9:00 though. But we ended up getting our drink at 9:30. So half an hour wait... kinda crazy... I had this in China before and I think it taste pretty similar, the milk tea and boba is pretty good. I think it's great deal since most of their toppings are free. The price is definitely on the low side compare to other boba places. I'll come back when the hype dies down because although it's cheaper than most places, it's not worth the 30 minutes wait. read more

ALittle Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I think it's pretty good for the price They had organic milk in the display case and what looks like brewed tea in dispensing containers instead of powder like at other fast service places Inside is large but not alot of room to stand around if you are waiting for your order. Prices are cheapest around considering toppings like boba, tea jelly, coffee jelly are free. Tea flavor isn't strong (like when half the ice cubes have melted when you ask for full ice) but the green tea had a medium amount of caffeine which I preferred because I could still go to sleep at a reasonable hour after consuming this at 8pm read more

Can I just start off by saying the store name is exactly what you're getting? "A little tea" - like literally lol. I noticed the long line out the door when this store first opened and never had the chance to try it because I couldn't get myself to line up for boba. Last weekend, after eating hot pot next door, we noticed no line... so we decided to give it a try. Once we entered the store - BAM! Long line to order and a long line for drinks. It's nice that they have a screen for you to track your number. We waited about 40 minutes to get our drinks. While waiting - it was ridiculous witnessing people cutting the line because the store didn't have any signs. Supposedly there's one line - whether you're ordering at the counter or the kiosk - but no signs or whatever - so people enters the door and cuts right to the kiosk. I witnessed many confused and pissed off customers. The crazier thing is - the ones who cut the line - was giving instructions to other people who just entered.... so freaking ridiculous lol. Anyways, I had quite high expectations since I waited so long and so many people were there. After waiting for 40 minutes for my boba... I can finally say I will not be coming back. The drink tasted like milk with sugar and "A LITTLE TEA". Definitely not worth the wait... I understand people are coming because it's cheaper than what boba costs in this age and day - but NO THANK YOU. read more

ALittle Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Have been wanting to try this place since it grand opened. But was deterred due to the long wait and long time it takes to make their drinks according to other reviews. I finally got around to trying this place out. We came on a weekend but close to opening time. There was no wait but I saw a bunch of phone orders already placed and was ready for pick up. I guess this is what people are doing to avoid longer wait time. I saw in other reviews that it takes 30 mins to make a drink. I was prepared for the worst but it only ended up taking 5 mins to prepare our drinks. We ordered the signature 4 seasons (oolong) milk tea & green milk tea. Both were delicious and creamy. I don't have anything bad to say about this place other than there are at least 5 other boba shops in the vicinity of this place. This place doesn't really stand out to me. Also they closed off seating completely so you can't even sit down and enjoy your drink. read more

Finally got a chance to try this place since it opened. I remember seeing the line would be out the door and along the street. The inside is spacious but chaotic and unorganized. They have a kiosk to order, but they also take orders at the front. From people watching for about 30 minutes (took this long for drinks), it was a mess. There should be some tape on the ground that goes all the way to the kiosk and them from there, people either order at the register or the kiosk. What people were doing was waiting at the register while there were so much room for the kiosk that people thought there were 2 lines. The design is a mess. If they moved the kiosk next to the register, it would have been easier to follow. Onto the drinks. This place is a steal! 4.50 for a large boba milk tea, you won't get anything like that around here anymore. I got the regular boba milk tea. It comes out about 3/5 stars. I like the boba, nice texture and flavor, but the drink was lacking in tea flavor. Definitely seems water down and added sugar to mask the water down flavor. Not bad, not great. For the price, I'd go back. For the wait, I'd pay more to go elsewhere. read more

That one tiktoker was not lying when she said this is the THE BEST and THE CHEAPEST boba in the SGV. I was so hesitant to go give this place a try because there's so many other boba spots in the sgv that I wanted to try but I decided to give it a go because I'm a financially responsible girlie ;) I got the four seasons oolong milk tea with a mix of boba AND pearls and this was SO good. My boyfriend and I decided to share before knowing how good it would be and we were literally fighting for sips. The tea is sweet but I love that it didn't just taste like milk with sugar. The taste of the tea actually came through and it was such a pleasant surprise! I heard lines could get very long, which I don't doubt but I went on a weekday afternoon and waited only around 5 minutes for my order. The staff are all super nice but straight to the point. The place itself was spacious, but there's no tables or cafe style seating, just benches to sit on while you wait for your order. read more

Whenever I am in the area, I would stop by ALittle Tea for a quick drink. When it first opened up, the line and wait for the drink was crazy long (up to 30-45 minutes of waiting). The hype for it definitely died down, however you will catch a handful of customers during peak hours such as after dinner. I usually go for the oolong tea latte or the oolong tea macchiato. Some of their toppings are free, such as boba (small/large), tea jelly, and coffee jelly (you can mix and match with no additional cost). The other toppings such as the puddings and ice cream is roughly 0.50 cents to a dollar more. There aren't any tables to sit at, however there are benches around the shop. I would say this place is a great bang for your buck boba spot. It's not the best boba spot around the area, but it is something that will satisfy your milk tea cravings for a cheaper cost. read more

I love their tea and toppings! The boba is perfectly Q and delicious, and my favorite topping is the tea jelly--low in calories and totally guilt-free. I'm so impressed that the toppings are free, especially since the prices are so cheap. Sometimes, it feels like I can get two drinks here for the price of one elsewhere! read more

went from Bay Area to here and friends are treating me boba all around the city. This place is the worst. One of us ordered less sugar drink but got a drink that's way too sweet. We asked for redo but they are keep saying they can only "add more water if it's too sweet". Very disappointed. read more
