I also really enjoy the pork belly meal, the meat is perfectly seasoned and very soft. In college I always got the Thai tea with boba which got me through those all nighters, but now I really enjoy the winter melon juice with fresh milk with grass jelly and the cucumber green tea with boba (sounds weird but it's tasty and refreshing!). Parking can be a bit hectic but cars often come and go out of the lot and there are 2 spots right in front that are reserved for Cup of joy customers.

I ended mixing the two to make it more drinkable, would recommend trying other items or pick another place! My friend got the Okinawa milk tea 50% sugar and that was not good at all. More like 2.5 stars for me and rounding up.

Really delicious boba in a very cute shop!…read more After some shopping in fashion district, my boyfriend and I stopped in for a mid day boba fix. Was pleasantly surprised! The kiosk made ordering easy, and service was fast. The Luna Matcha was very good! Was also very sweet, so I'd likely opt for 50% sugar next time. My boyfriend's peach blossom was a delicious slushie that I'd definitely order next time as well.

The service was fast and easy! We ordered on a kiosk and got our drink within minutes! I do wish…read morethat there is a section to add notes or that we could order with someone directly in case we want to substitute anything though. We tried the rose milk matcha. If you don't like fresh and strong matcha, I wouldn't recommend this drink. Their matcha is definitely fresh and strong. As someone who isn't super into matcha, I like the rose milk part of the drink but not so much the matcha. I would have loved a plain rose green tea or rose milk tea but I don't think those were options based on the menu in the kiosk. So it would be nice if there was a bit more flexibility in the drink options. I would like to come back and try one of their drinks that don't include matcha next time because the drinks are definitely of high quality and flavor!

The person taking my order was super sweet and extremely helpful in answering my questions. I also ordered the breakfast burrito and bolo bun with pork chop. The portions are huge for the food. I do think the BF burrito is only saltier side but still yummy regardless. There are plenty of seats inside the shop.

I stopped by Cup of Cha Tea House today while passing through Monrovia, and I'm so glad I did. It's…read morelocated right in Old Town Monrovia, and the shop itself is super cute, spacious, and inviting. This is a great little spot to hang out with friends or family, play games, go on a date, or just relax by yourself with a drink. I came with my baby sister and we both really liked the atmosphere. The front of the store has cute seating, and there's also a smaller, almost private, area toward the back near the bathrooms with a little couch and board games, which gives the place even more personality. I'd say the back area with the small couch is more of a first-come, first-served spot. The couch could comfortably fit a group of 4-5 people you came with, or maybe just one couple. Otherwise, it might feel a little awkward sharing such a small space with people you don't know unless you're not socially awkward. They have a good variety of drinks on the menu, though they don't sell any food. My sister didn't like the drink she initially ordered because she had requested foam and salt, but the staff was kind enough to remake it to her liking, which we really appreciated. Good customer service makes such a difference, and they handled it very kindly. My drink came out great... good size, good flavor, and fairly priced. Overall, I'd definitely come back here again if I'm in the area. Cute shop, good drinks, great service, and a nice cozy vibe without feeling cramped.
