    Bearology is a boba, smoothie and tea shop in Temple City, located in a large plaza on Las Tunas ave and Rosemead blvd. This shop has anime themed tea that serves snacks, bear dessert mouse cakes, noodles and sandwiches. Interior is very captivating with anime decor and layout. Staff were cordial. I came to visit and tried their Watermelon green tea and Brown bear mouse cake. The drink was very disappointing. Because they forgot the boba and it's too water downed, small 12 oz cup, and it took them 18 minutes to make. However, the tiny bear cake was adorable and delightful. Atmosphere is relaxing and vibing with anime. Prices are quite expensive. Overall, it's a nice boba tea shop with anime design.

    Shop has fun manga decoration. This place is a bit hard to find if you look at eye level because of its mysterious entrance which is marked solely by a poster. Despite the fun atmosphere, the drinks and snacks are a bit pricy but you're paying for packaging and other bells and whistles. I went in for a sampling of the drinks and they were a bit too sweet and syrupy tasting to me.

    A tea shop that's pretty hidden in a corner of a super busy plaza in Temple City. Plenty of free parking spots but don't underestimate the amount of parking as it's busy daily. First impressions is that the interior is pretty sizeable. I visited during a Demon Slayer collaboration and the interior lighting is a bit bright and not the greatest on the eyes if you're around for awhile. The lighting is very much like a medieval tavern color wise, orange if not lantern orange. The spot seems like a decent place for a hangout with a group of friends, plenty of tables all in a line and there's a infinity room in the back (not sure if it's just for the current collab but it's pretty cool regardless.) Staff is friendly and seem pretty quick. My partner got me one of their matcha lattes and it was average at best in my opinion. Some sips had plenty of matcha flavoring but some were a bit tasteless. Overall, not impressed but if you're visiting for the Demon Slayer collaboration, it would be pretty nice to see it. Drinks wise is a bit disappointing but I'm sure their other drinks options are better.

    Decided to check this place out because we were intrigued by the Demon Slayer collab immersive experience. The entire cafe is reimagined with custom decor, activations, and a special themed food and beverage menu. The Infinity Castle room is kind of cool, but it is an extremely small room that fits no more than a few people. The photo opportunities here are quite minimal. They do sell a lot of merch though for anyone interested. As for the food and beverage, none of the themed menu items really caught my eye. I ended up trying a few drinks from the regular menu. All of the drinks tasted pretty watered down. I would not order them again. Vibes are super casual. Order at the register and seat yourself. There is an ample amount of booth seating in the cafe. Each table looks like it can fit up to 4 people. This place doesn't seem fit for groups of more than 4.

    What a wonderful experience at the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle themed dinner at Bearology! I came with my family and my friends with their kids and was impressed by how thoughtfully every detail was crafted. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we had stepped into a different world. The space is small and beautifully decorated, with only a handful of booths available. After experiencing it firsthand, I completely understand why reservations are required. The intimate setting allows the staff to create a truly immersive experience, and every aspect was carefully designed to fit the Demon Slayer theme. We ordered the tower, which included chicken sliders, homestyle kettle chips, tempura shrimp, and ramen. Everything was presented beautifully and fit perfectly with the theme. To finish the evening, we enjoyed the mochi ice cream balls and the adorable Bearology cakes, which were almost too cute to eat. Even the drinks were served in themed cups, adding another fun touch to the experience. Despite being busy throughout the night, the servers remained friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Their hard work helped make the event run smoothly and added to the overall experience. Bearology truly went above and beyond with this themed dinner. The attention to detail, immersive atmosphere, themed food and drinks, and excellent service made for a memorable night. If you're a Demon Slayer fan, this is an experience you won't want to miss!

    A friend of mine went here and I seen her pictures and I knew I had to take my youngest since she's such an anime fan. We surprised her with this and it was so adorable how exited she was to turn and see the Demon Slayer sign! She eats, sleeps and eats Demon Slayer so this was such a treat for her. We allowed her the pick whatever she wanted as far as merch and she chose a plushie and a souvenir cup. She also had the mochi ice cream which she said was delicious!

    I took my daughter as we are both demon slayer fans and this themed decor will be gone July 31st. Had the food been better I would've given 5 stars but it was a money grab as taste did not match what you pay for. Glad they had an ala carte version as the temple plating was an extra $20. We got here on a weekday so only a few tables. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and I liked they were fans.

    Boba drinks taste like water and for 7.00 each they're in a tiny cup. Waste of money taste like flavored leeches water if anything

    Demon Slayer x Bearology February 9 - July 31, 2026 Even though the cafe was located in a shopping plaza with dedicated parking lot, parking was still challenging. The dining area was fairly small with handful number of tables available. The booth seating was also quite tight and may not comfortably accommodate more than 4 adults. Reservations require a deposit which is applied towards your final bill. As for the food, it was mediocre and not worth it. Most visitors are likely coming for the Demon Slayer themed experience rather than the food itself. The staff were not friendly either so this would be a one and done experience.

    I saw influencers on INSTAGRAM hyping up this place so I thought WOW it looked really cool. I also went on YELP to check the ratings and they had pretty good ratings so I thought to myself let's go check it out!... I made a RESERVATION online: $20 per person and that can be credited towards food and drinks... I went inside and I was SURPRISED at how small it was compared to what I saw on Instagram. There were a few photo opportunity inside. Lots of souvenirs for purchase. There wasn't many people inside at around 4pm on a weekday so b I really didn't need to make that RESERVATION... FOOD: 8/10 Sliders were good and it came with some really crunchy chips. However, the food was priced higher than the average. We are talking about DISNEYLAND prices for food. For example, that snack tower and just the tower itself is $90!!! DRINKS: 7/10 The milk tea was not bad but the TARO milk tea was overly sweet...and you have to pay EXTRA for it to come in a MASON JAR!!!! I think it's a great place for teenagers and kids or families. You are paying for the EXPERIENCE!... They didn't even have table service! You have to order at the cashier one and a time. There can possibly be a line when busy. Plus, the train experience wasn't even on when we went. So sad. Maybe we're too old for this. Time to search for delicious foods on Yelp... BARE WITH IT BEAROLOGY!!! So for me, it was a one hit wonder! Thank you, NEXT!

    What you're paying for is the vibes...and the incredible attention to detail. You decide if it's worth it.

    We came for the Demon Slayer collab, which means that we made sure to get a reservation because with the demand, walk-up wasn't an option. We came on a Saturday and the shared parking lot is big, but we couldn't find any. That situation changes and it can't be controlled, but I think it's good to know that it can get crowded so plan accordingly and give yourself time. They do collabs often so depending on the IP, you might find yourself here joining whatever fandom you belong to. The attention to detail they gave for their photo-ops was wonderful. And on camera, it translates fantastically. It almost seems like the space is huge, but it's actually quite small. Truly, truly instagrammable and photogenic. But wow, the snack option appetizer--with the draw being the tower presentation--was incredibly pricey. It comes out to close to $80 for "just okay" food and meager portions. But again, it was presented in a most epic way. It it was it is. And if you're fan of the IP collab, it could be worth it. But it is expensive.

    i came here with some friends before anime expo weekend to check out the demon slayer infinity castle experience, and overall i thought it was a really nice time. it's nothing super over-the-top or extravagant, but they did a great job capturing the ambiance of the film through the decor. i especially loved what they did with the mirrors to mimic the infinity castle effect, it made it feel a bit more immersive. the food was pretty delicious, though a bit overpriced, which was honestly expected for a themed experience like this. i did appreciate that they let you order items a la carte, since the food tower felt a little excessive. they also had gachapon and little trinkets imported from japan (according to the person at the register), which was a cute touch. we also picked up the souvenir cups that were designed after the castle, which i thought were really cool. items we ordered: chicken katsu sliders with chips mochi ice cream spicy seafood ramen hot chicken ramen watermelon limeade blue raspberry pineapple slush making a reservation was super easy, and i liked that the reservation fee goes toward your total. overall, it's a fun and cute experience for any demon slayer fan!

    We were next door and wanted to stop by here and grab bobas to go and honestly... it was just okay. It wasn't crowded at all, which was nice, but the space itself is super small. Our drinks, and for the size of the cups, they felt pretty overpriced. But it was actually pretty good! The taro smoothie and watermelon is a must try! The theme is a fun idea for fans, but overall it just didn't live up to the hype for me. Not all that, in my opinion.

You definitely can taste the rich tea fragrance notes in each of their drinks. So far, I've tried their One Tea Signature blend milk tea and their Orchis oolong tea with coconut cloud. I also especially love their popping barley topping. It's a unique spin to the traditional boba. It's refreshing a fun to eat. We also got their walnut custard cake, which was a nice treat. They are slightly crispy on the outside, yet pleasantly moist on the inside. The custard inside added just the right about of sweetness. To finish each mini cake off, each contain bits of actual walnuts on the inside, which really made this dessert well worth it. The only reason I am knocking off a star is because of their staff. They were not very friendly or communicative. The majority of the time, they really tried to avoid making eye contact with the customers. This makes the experience feel awkward and unwelcoming.
