    Da Hong Pao Boba milk tea (Left), Peach Oolong Milk Tea
    Joy J.

    Each time we've gone, we've tried a different drink and havent been disappointed. They are helpful with recommendations as well, if youre not sure what to order. Their teas taste really good and boba is also good. Some places the drink are good but boba is not or vice versa. This place you can get both and be satisfied. Kid friendly drinks are available so the whole family can enjoy. We purchased a gift card and its actually digital, linked to your account with them so when you check in, it will pull it up without having to remember to bring an actual card.

    Got the dragon well milk tea and their special milk tea. The tea is very light so you mostly taste milk. Not my cuppa tea but the cup and the design is amazing. I wished they had more bookmarks of the lady. The bag is soo pretty i wished it was reusuable. My friends like the mango sago here. They have book marks where yoy can write wishes and hang them on a tree. Very cute. Parking can be rough as there are lots of stores and limited parking spots. Not sure if theres underground parking

    Mango mochi drink (3catea )
    Annie T.

    Not bad, but not anything special. 3catea is much superior, especially the mango mochi drink It's decent, and still worth checking out but it's not superior to other drink places

    Located in a plaza with a few restaurants and a boba shop. Plenty of parking. Quick service with a kiosk infront. What I like about this place is they have a wishing tree. Whether you believe in it or not, there's no harm in writing your wishes down. I tried the Green Grapes Sparkling Tea. It's a refreshing drink and has actual grapes in it. Although it tasted more sparkling than any tea but overall, a good drink to try out.

    Whenever I'm in Arcadia, BenGong is one of my go to spots. Their menu is quite extensive and drinks never disappoint. Parking is plentiful and free which is a nice plus. Interior is very cute, good amount of tables as I see plenty of people sit and do work on their laptops here. To the right is a wishing tree that's decorated and perfect for photos. There's also a self ordering kiosk which is great when the shop gets busy. The menu itself is very extensive and very unique. Ranging from brown sugar specials which is one of their signatures to one of my personal favorites, the sparkling series. They also have Yakult, cheese, and fruit series to order. Staff is friendly and quick as our drinks came out withing 5 minutes. (Ordered on this specific occasion) -- Peach Oolong Milk Tea ($6.00) -- Very refreshing drink, peach doesn't overpower the drink as a whole and is just a perfect drink overall. Came in their deco cups which was a plus. Mixed very well with the Oolong Milk Tea, I would recommend this drink for anyone that has trouble deciding what to get. 10/10 -- Strawberry Peach Sparkling Tea ($6.25) -- I was pretty interested in the sparkling series and this one caught my eye the most. It's pretty much as expected, sparkling tea. Similar to a soda feeling, this was a solid refresher on a warm day. Although the taste kind of went away after about an hour, it was still a decent drink to try. Definitely checking the other sparkling drinks out next time I visit. 8/10 One underrated thing about this shop is their different type of cups. Ranging from the standard size cups, to their round cups and their decorated cups. Many drinks come in the smaller round cups so watch out for that if you're expecting a standard cup. Regardless, the cups are well made and super cute and sturdy. Overall, wonderful shop with cute designs, friendly staff, and high quality drinks. You can't really go wrong with any drink here as they're all super flavorful. Highly recommend giving BenGongs a visit.

    Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Interior decor in San Gabriel one is a bit bitter than here. Special boba milk tea always gonna be my top pick here. This time I got Mochi mango and which was also delicious. This is my go to boba shop in the area.

    Taro and cheese
    Binny O.

    Cute place. My first time here. I ordered the taro and cheese drink, very delicious. They use real taro!! Will definitely be back.

    Fruit tea
    Gabby A.

    Really enjoyed this tea spot! The fruit tea and brown sugar tea my nephew got were both really good super flavorful! The fruit tea had such freshnesss to it I'm like craving it every day ever since The location itself is really nice, modern, and thoughtfully designed. they actually have a little activity you can do while waiting for your drink. There's a tree inside where you can hang an affirmation bookmark. They provide yarn and bookmarks so you can write your own message and add it to the tree, which was so unique and rare to see a business too! I give them props for standing out like that! Overall, I liked it a lot and definitely want to come back to try more of their milk teas or maybe a slush next time.

    This boba spot is open daily Hours are 12-8pm and Fri & Sat - they're open until 9! Parking is ok but it's shared with many other businesses so it could be challenging Menu has a good variety of fruit and milk tea drinks Pricing was ok - expect to pay $6-$7+ (most drinks can be either hot (+$0.50) or cold and there are 2 sizes - regular & large (+$0.75). There are a lot of topping options - $0.75). There are ice and sugar adjustments available. Loved the online ordering - did this option and it was so fast, easy, and convenient! Service was welcoming and friendly Inside was quite small but there were a few tables and chairs Mango Pomelo Sago ($6.25) - got this half sweet and less ice. This was not too sweet but I hardly tasted any mango unfortunately. I was expecting real mango pieces but just had bits of sour Pomelo. I think I prefer the mango Pomelo Sago from Yifang more so this was 6/10 Peach Oolong Milk Tea ($5.50) was pretty good! Got this half sugar, less ice, and with boba (+$0.75). It wasn't too sweet and the barley pieces were chewy and yummy! The boba was soft and fresh. However, I didn't really taste much of the peach or oolong so this was 7/10 Overall, I was quite disappointed so I most likely won't recommend or return.

    Tried Oreo brulee, creamy lychee, matcha red bean, strawberry sparkling tea
    Linda L.

    Overall, not comparable to the SG location in interior decor, taste, or service. We got the below: Oreo brulee milk tea: ran out of boba and replaced with mochi that tastes like tiny torn up bits of mochi. No tea taste. Creamy lychee: acceptable Matcha red bean: not bad, but doesn't look anything like the advertised picture Strawberry sparkling tea: not very sparkling, very sour, more like slightly strawberry tasting water I think the lady who helped me here was extremely pushy and up in my personal space to push their friends handmade press on nails. I wanted to just look and she kept handing me ones I didn't want (told her I'd just look myself, didn't want short, didn't want this or that). It was extremely annoying and her discount sucked, and I wanted her to leave me alone to look for myself. She even pushed my friend who was looking out of the way. Didn't like this experience and won't come back.

    Went to Ben Gong's for the first time on a weekday after lunch and it was practically empty, which was perfect. The guy working was super helpful, service was quick, and the place was immaculate. Like... shiny clean. I got the golden sesame milk tea and hold tf up!!! 2025 Sesame Drink of the Year goes to BenGong's!!!!! I'm OBSESSED. It was nutty, creamy, perfectly balanced. I haven't stopped thinking about it. My husband got the mango mochi with additional barley, which was also good, but forget that - sesame is where it is at. Already dreaming about going back. Like... today. If not sooner.

    if you're craving a milk tea, their special boba milk tea gets the job done. It's very tasty but can be a bit sweet since the boba has its own sugar glaze so I recommend 25 or 0% sweet if you typically like not very sweet things. Baristas are super nice and welcoming! good study space, seating up to 4 per table, with solid internet connection

    Jasmine Tea w/ Cheese Foam
    Cathy E.

    I've come here a couple times after eating at the Pho place in the same plaza, and I'd say it's a solid spot to get your boba fix! Their interior is super cute, I love the wishing tree they have in the shop. They have lots of seating and an overall cute ambience, great for chatting with friends! Their servers are quick with drinks, I don't think I've ever had to wait too long for mine! I usually go with a Jasmine Tea with foam and this place is pretty solid! I will say their drinks run on the sweet side so definitely opt for 70% to 50% sweetness if you like a good balance. Overall, great place! Give it a try if you are in the area.

I kept thinking, *"How many boba shops do we really need?"* One thing that stood out was their ordering system - they don't use the usual percentage options for sweetness and ice. Instead, they have "Perfect Sweet" and "Perfect Ice." Whatever that means, right? I was still skeptical. I waited until I got home so my wife and I could try it together. Mind. Blown. Even though it's a bit of a drive for us, we've already gone back three times in a month. That might not sound like much to some people, but for us to make a special trip just for boba says everything. It's not the fastest. You'll probably wait 5-10 minutes in full, but perfection takes time, and it's absolutely worth it. Suggestion: a stamp or loyalty card would be awesome. No disrespect to the brand, but I think the real Torotea fans would appreciate it.

They provide self-serve water outside of the store in the case that there is a long wait. Fortunately, this has never been the case when I have visited. The employees were also super helpful and very well-versed with their menu. They knew exactly what drink paired well with what jelly. All the drinks are true to the taste profile as described on the website. The Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi is one of the most popular items and it was indeed very buttery. It had a very unique taste profile, but definitely not for me. I personally really really really enjoyed the Misty Oolong MT which had a light-roasted, malty flavor with subtle buttery highlights. It paired perfectly with the osmanthus jelly. The best drink Torotea has to offer by far!

From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the wonderfully fragrant aroma of freshly brewed tea. The shop features a clean, minimalist interior with a handful of tables, making it a great place to study, get some work done, or simply relax with a drink. What keeps me coming back, though, is the consistently friendly service and the outstanding quality of the drinks. **Wintermelon Green Tea with Boba: 5/5** This was an exceptionally well-balanced drink that showcased the best of both flavors. The wintermelon contributed a subtle smoky, caramelized sweetness with delicate sweet gourd notes, while the green tea balanced it beautifully with a floral, earthy finish that kept the drink light and refreshing. Soft and pleasantly chewy, the boba provided the perfect textural contrast to the fragrant tea. I also really appreciated how accommodating the staff was. They happily customized my drink by blending green tea with the wintermelon and even had me sample it beforehand to make sure the flavor was exactly what I was looking for. That level of care and commitment to quality is something you don't see everywhere. After countless visits over the years, Nest Tea continues to be one of the best boba shops in the area. From its thoughtfully crafted drinks to its attentive service, every visit has been consistently enjoyable. It's the kind of neighborhood tea shop that keeps you coming back, one perfectly brewed cup at a time.
