It was a nicet regular matcha drink. One thing I really liked was the shop itself. The atmosphere was cute, and I especially loved the moon decoration in the back. It gave the place a cozy vibe and made it a fun spot to enjoy my drink. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back to try more of their drinks. If you like matcha, I definitely recommend trying the strawberry matcha!

My go to's are iced honey osmanthus oolong tea and iced honey green tea + taro balls, light sweetness and light ice. They're sooo refreshing and always hit the spot. If you get a non-milk drink, I *highly* recommend adding taro balls. For milk-based drinks, add boba, they're cooked to perfection. The workers are friendly and fast. Love this place :) The cons: one cup size (wish they offered a larger size) & on the pricier side

There are kids friendly drinks as well so the whole family can get something (Yakult drinks, slushes etc.). The boba is ok, the drinks are definitely better than the boba but still ok that I would get it if I wanted a drink from here. Make the boba better and it would be a perfect combination! There are tables so people can come and do work or study as well. The place is clean and drinks can be customized for sweetness and ice level. Weekly BOGO's for a drink each week so allows us to try a different drink and see if we like it.

I grabbed a Jasmine Milk Tea (their 茉莉奶白) and it was super fragrant, not fake-perfume jasmine, just clean and floral, with a nice creamy finish. Also tried the Yang Zhi Gan Lu and the mango flavor was bright and not overly sweet, with a refreshing citrusy kick. Space is cute, very chill to sit and sip, and the drinks actually taste like tea, not just sugar water. Low‑key Los Angeles must‑visit tea spot, I'm already planning my next run.

Our go-to are the mango mango slush or strawberry slush half sweet no chamoy, royal milk tea with boba, and Peach green tea half sweet. Drinks are ALWAYS consistant and yummy. Even more, the boba is consistantly divine-- fresh, chewy, and sweet. Drinks come out quick even when it's busy. I'm always amazed how many drinks they can pump out quickly. The staff here are boba masters. Prices here are competitive/standard. Expect about $5/drink. They also have a stampcard program! Buy 8 and get 1 free. We frequent Hello Boba because it's nearby and good. Even if there's more unique places like half and half, 3 cats, and twinkle brown sugar. I prefer Hello Boba. They're just really good, consistant, and quick. Always hits the spot. Staff are generally friendly and greet you with a smile. There's this one swole asian dude who's that has a rbf. I don't think it's personal though, he's probably always sore from hitting the gym. I almost never get a smile from him-- it's just business. He shows his love in a through his consistant drinks. Which I can appreciate. I usually take my drinks to go. But there was one time me and my son hung out and played board games. They have a nice variety. But just like all other boba places, the games are usually really beat up from all the useage from previous customers. Very casual. The only downside is that this place is dangerous to my waistline. Overall good for everyone of all ages and different ethnic backgrounds. Special Shoutout to Tuan. When my wife or son wants boba, sometimes I forget what our go-to order is. Tuan knows our order. It's people like Tuan that make places like Hello Boba special.

Their original mojito is good if you're looking for an alcohol free version with boba. Other than that, normal boba menu. Quick service from time you order till pick up. No table sittings but they do have a bunch for you to wait.

I've noticed that some of my drinks at the other places are sometimes watered down, whereas the quality has always been consistent here. The dong ding oolong milk tea with cream and bubble is usually my go to order. Drinks here usually run on the sweeter side so I always get light sweetness. This shop is definitely my go to place for drinks whenever I'm in the area.

There are cushioned bench seating areas and while overall it's a small shop, it's a decent place to study. I don't see outlets though. A favorite of mine is their bloom teas with a nice coconut milk, sago, and real fresh fruit. Definitely a refreshing drink that is worth the price.

This BenGong's Tea location is found in a small plaza that has Hengzhou Chili King with a lot in…read morethe back. The lot itself doesn't really have enough parking spots available for the 4 or 5 businesses that are in this little plaza. My husband and I have been to the location in Arcadia a few times and decided to check out this location since we were in the area. We came here last Saturday night and ordered our drinks at the kiosk (not sure if you are order with an employee or not, but the 2 employees we saw behind the counter seemed busy working on drinks, since their backs were towards us). We ended up ordering: Purple Rice Drink, $5.95- My husband ordered this drink to be made with no ice and 25% sweetener. I didn't have any but he thought it was just fine and enjoyed it. But the size was rather small. Osmanthus Rice Milk Tea $6.75 + Large Size $0.75- I ordered this drink to be made with no ice and 25% sweetener. I was disappointed with this drink because the tea was overstepped. Quite a shame because that bitter taste lingered and had a weird after taste with the osmanthus (which is a flower). But the osmanthus flavor seemed a little artificial (I really like osmanthus and usually like to order it at tea houses so I am familiar with the taste). This drink did not taste good. ----------------------------- (Total= $13.45) Wait time was a little after 10 minutes. There wasn't really much interaction with the employees. The staff just placed our drink on the counter and called out the drink order number and then my husband walked up to the counter to get it. You had to get your own straw, which is right by the area where you pick up the drinks. I really don't see myself coming back to this location and probably won't be going back to BenGong's Tea in general anytime soon (the last time we went to the Arcadia location, my drink was also over steeped).

Second time visiting this location, and it was just as good as I remembered!…read more I hadn't been here in a few months, and it looks like they've expanded their menu. They also added more outdoor seating, which is nice since the interior is pretty small. Parking is street parking only, but I've never had any trouble finding a spot. Emily, the cashier, was incredibly friendly and helpful. She took the time to walk us through the new seasonal drinks and menu additions, which made it much easier to decide what to order. Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapioca ($7.85) - My go-to drink! - Perfect level of sweetness without being overpowering - Rich, creamy, nutty flavor - Brown sugar tapioca had the perfect soft and chewy texture (only wished it was cut a bit smaller) Pinewood Milk Tea ($6.85) - Similar to the Popcorn Milk Tea, but with a lighter, more subtle nutty flavor - Still delicious, though I personally prefer the Popcorn Milk Tea Jasmine Oolong Milk Tea ($6.85) - A great option if you're looking for something lighter and more refreshing Everything was made well, and the service made the experience even better. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. Love that they still do daily samples!

I absolutely love the drinks at Torotea. Their drinks taste fresh and distinctive. They look…read moreaesthetic too. You can tell that they use high quality tea and ingredients. A must-try is the Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi. This is a rich blend of assam black tea and creamy milk with a toasty buttery popcorn twist. It is my husband's go-to drink. Another drink I would recommend is the Cassia Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi, my go-to drink. This drink has a comforting aroma of cinnamon with the maltiness of a milk tea and the creaminess of a latte. Their tapiochi is made in-house daily and is super delicious. This topping feels like boba, mochi, and jelly all in one. The texture of it is nice and enjoyable to chew. It also seems to pair well with basically any drink. Definitely check this spot out if you have not yet. It is unlike any of the other boba shops around. There are plenty of parking spots directly in front of the shop.
