I ordered 4 coffees and they all come out without label on the cup so if you order a lot to go, be sure to ask which one is which. I ordered large size but the size is like medium size to me. Price is high. Also latte came out without mixing so you have to shake it but again the lid doesn't have lid stopper which I have to asked for that. The Place is small so you are sitting pretty close to other party. Parking is the same parking lot in 168 market so it's challenging sometimes.

First was greeted by one of the friendly staff with a sample of Zesty Oolong. I was debating to…read moreorder other items but that sample just left me with such impression and I had to order it (perfect sweetness and perfect ice) While waiting, my husband found me and ask what am i doing in a spa needless to say, the ambiance is definitely a world apart from other places. To me Zesty Oolong is similar to a HK lemon tea but this is much more elevated.

There were samples to try, which I believe gets rotated. These were the drinks I got: Pinewood Milk Tea ($6.85): It was good. It tasted like a lighter version of earl grey. 3/5 stars Koan-Im Oolong Milk Tea ($6.85): Also good and very light. This one was supposed to be roasted, but it didn't really stand out. 3/5 stars Both teas I got were quite light. I genuinely don't know if it really lives up to any of the tea shops in Alhambra, but it was decent. Price is on the pricier side. Customer service was great though. Parking is street parking, which is free. I'll come back to try other drinks with their toppings. But for now 3 stars....

I tried their matcha latte with 2% milk (they offer oat milk too) at 70% sweet and a gyokuro milk tea at 70% sweet with lychee jelly and both were very very good! The teas were fragrant and yummy and perfectly not too sweet! They have a few seats inside but it's very limited - they've been around for about 2 years and I hope they get a lot more love soon! Service is very fast and friendly

This place popped up & doesn't close til 8 pm- cool!! There just 2 seats indoors with a "bar" table and a bench to park your behind while waiting for your drink. There's no restroom. The outdoor patio is spacious but it shares it with 2 other businesses (Dumpling Bar & Mari Vees). Staff is trite, professional, competent but not overly friendly. He made my drink as requested-iced matcha latte with oat milk, less ice, 75% sweet level, one of the best so far, nothing fancy, just good, quality matcha. I'm likely to return if ever in the area, and that's me not big on tea lol \(*0*)/

There's no public restroom but there's some seating inside. I got the hoji matcha cloud ($7.45) at less sweet. The price has gone up since the last time I've been here, which is expected. I think it's still decent for the price at the cup size. The matcha is pretty strong but still has some sweetness.

I ordered the Mango Cloud this time less sweet (7.42), and also the Matcha Blend. The price has went up a bit since the last time I was here but the cup is still the same size. The drinks took around 5 minutes or so to be ready. The mango cloud is as good as other reviews said. There is mango chunks in the drink and it is blended very well so it is a smoothie consistency. It also has some cream but I couldn't really taste it. I got less sweet so the sweetness level was perfect for me. I enjoyed the drink and my only complaint is the price but all drinks are around this price especially for fruit blended ones. I would recommend it if you're not looking for a matcha drink, but their matcha blend was also good as well with authentic matcha.

The drinks were so refreshing!! before getting our drinks, staff hand delivered about food, and were so welcoming and nice!

I received a message from the management after posting my review about the bitter jasmine tea I…read moreordered at Bopomofo Café. At first, I was honestly worried and thought, "Are they trying to challenge my review?" I usually leave positive reviews, but once I wrote an honest review after being served a completely cold hamburger at another restaurant in Pasadena, and that restaurant filed a complaint that resulted in my review being removed. Because of that experience, I was concerned this might become a similar situation. Instead, they kindly listened to my experience, sent me a thoughtful message, and even invited me back to try the drink again. So, I wanted to post another review because I genuinely appreciated how professionally and graciously they handled the situation. Their response showed care, hospitality, and a sincere desire to improve the customer experience.

Ordered a cappuccino and a vegetarian breakfast burrito. The coffee was so smooth. I really liked the taste. They roast their own beans in one of those big machines, which is pretty cool. Burrito was also pretty good! They crisp it on a panini press. The green sauce really made it though. It reminded me of a mint chutney or something. Love the concept of this place and that they have community programs that help kids get jobs. I hope they open more locations, but I will definitely be back!
