    First time visiting, found them through the SGV boba passport. Clean, small shop; quick, friendly service with a few indoor seats and several patio tables outside. They use high grade tea leaves and you can smell the leaves before choosing and they use specialized equipment to extract flavors from the leaves. I really enjoyed their jasmine milk green tea and the mango fruit tea. You can really taste the tea in both drinks, it did not taste watered down. The boba was equally delicious, I've never had mochi boba. It was sweet, soft and chewy and it went well with the drinks. I will definitely return to try more items on the menu.

    Wasn't impressed at all. Ordered two gyokuro milk teas with honey boba (less ice and 50% sweet) and a mango slush with honey boba but heard the employees talking to one another about how there was only enough honey boba for two more drinks. I inquired about it and they said I'd have to pick a different topping so I went with the agar boba. Apparently they did not give us honey boba. I was staring at it up close since it looked so different so they asked if something was wrong. I thought maybe it was because it was the last of the previous batch that it looked so soft and mishapen. Since July 4th they've been switching to mochi honey boba instead because of popularity/increased demand. They said it was a real hit on July 4th weekend. The mochi boba had a lovely texture and flavor but definitely could have used more haha. They had to boil a whole new batch. Agar boba was fine but I was super disappointed that I didn't get boba because that's what I actually wanted. The shop was quiet with nobody else inside besides my cousin and kid and I. The gyokuro was pretty bitter (as if it was steeped too long. Maybe it was just matcha and bitter? But I thought gyokuro was just tea leaves?) and not sweet at all. I couldn't finish it because of how bitter it was. I kept it in the fridge and drank it next day and it mellowed out significantly. The mango slush was honey boba was pretty good. They recommended it with lychee jelly but my 5 year old was not interested haha. I think I'm spoiled after having torotea because it is such an amazing experience from start to finish and every flavor is absolutely delicious and perfect. Chapresso is overrated and fine when you don't wanna wait for torotea. You probably just need to order the right thing and for them to have boba when you want it. If I ever go back I'd try one of the iron goddess oolong or one of their matcha drinks.

    Each order is made to brew! Really enjoyed their tea selection and I always get the phoenix MT and/or iron goddess MT. For a regular they charge roughly $6/7, which is standard pricing nowadays. Opt for the phoenix if you enjoy more of a honey note at the end. Parking is on the street but easy to get in and out even with ongoing traffic.

    Cute little tea place on Huntington next to dumpling bar. You can customize the type of tea leaves you want and can add "toppings". Also can adjust level of sweetness. Friendly service.

    Gyokuro milk tea was really weird and didn't taste like gyokuro
    Belinda T.

    I don't know if I went on a really off day, but I can't remember the last time I had a milk tea so off-putting it went straight in the trash. I was so excited for the gyokuro milk tea because gyokuro is probably my favorite tea, and I can't quite describe what the gyokuro here tasted like. I can say, however, it didn't taste anything like gyokuro. It was weirdly floral, not quite jasmine-like floral, and had a weird and honestly kind of gross flavor I guess is a way to put it. It completely lacked the fresh buttery greens quality of real gyokuro. The jasmine was okay. I gave up on the hojicha without even trying it after everyone else wound up not liking their teas either (they didn't dislike it as much as I did with the gyokuro, it just wasn't great). Reviews seem positive for this place so I dunno what was up with our drinks. While the tea flavor, at least for the jasmine, was strong, it was so strong it tasted almost artificial (compared to similar tea-forward places).

    5/19/26 Okay, I'm not much of a tea drinker but I like matcha for all its health benefits & its earthiness, this place has my seal of approval:-) Just driving around San Marino looking for a coffee shop near 5 pm--not much luck. 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*)/

    wow this might be one of my new favorite boba spots! Came to try Chapresso and the tea quality really shines in all their drinks! 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

    I had an adequate experience at Chapresso (San Marino). I ordered the Mango Matcha Latte ($8.50 - 16oz - 75% Sugar). It's earthy, gritty, and tastes like mango cereal milk. It reminds me of liquid mango candy. I arrived at Chapresso (San Marino) on Sunday (around 12:15PM). Parking is a little challenging. There's no lot, so I used street parking. It's a brief couple minute walk. Customers can order at a self-service kiosk or counter. Staff is polite. Staff kindly answered all my questions. My drink took one minute and 52 seconds. Fast! As mentioned, I ordered the Mango Matcha Latte ($8.50 - 16oz - 75% Sugar). It's not bad, and it's thirst quenching. The drink made me think of candy mango and something a little gritty. On ambiance, Chapresso (San Marino) is very tiny and cramped. There's one small counter and a bench. There's also three assigned tables at front. The floors looked like they needed a quick sweep, but the air felt clean. I also enjoyed the slow-paced music. The location is very dimly lit though, so it all felt a little melancholy. Fortunately there's a little bit of utility at Chapresso (San Marino). There's one available electrical outlet. And there's customer internet with password; customers must ask staff for the details. However; this small location doesn't have a restroom. Overall, Chapresso (San Marino) is not bad. I didn't hate my beverage, and staff is friendly. If already nearby, I can lightly recommend. 3.9 out of 5

    I came to try this spot since a fellow acquaintance said it was yummy. Parking is ample for street parking. There's outdoor seating which is nice. You can order via kiosk or at the counter. Staff were friendly & open to questions. I went with the matcha Einspanner which was a 10/10. I was able to customize my drinks as well for sweetness/ice. I would come back to try other drinks since they have a vast selection.

    I decided to try their ice matcha latte and matcha Einspanner. I tried getting the coffee version but it ended up being matcha which was fine since it was good either way. The offer 2% milk or oat milk. Definitely going to come back to try their teas. Now that i know where its located at. First time trying this place and parked a little far because it looked like there was alot of cars in the front. As we werw looking for it someone asked if we were going to chapresso. Howd he know. But we came on a lucky day. Turbo tax had a little event going on and they were giving free chapresso vouchers, fidget spinner, tote bags and ice packs.

    The Matcha is made fresh, and the Matcha latte was pretty good for what it is. The service was fairly fast, just expect one person to be working in the front. So that person is either tending to the orders come or taking the orders. The vibe of the overall shop is chill, but you're really here to grab and go, so you're not really hanging out within the shop. It is located a cute spot in San Marino, you can opt to park in the front, or around sides.

    street parking available depending when you go! the place is a bit smaller but they have outdoor seating. very cute and clean inside. they have a pretty solid menu with different options. the staff was very helpful in explaining the differences. i got the genmaicha einspanner and you can really taste the puffed rice in the drink. i liked it but my bf didn't. the strawberry matcha was good but the strawberry just tastes like jam. the oolong milk tea was really good! very fragrant and floral. i also got a mango green tea but it was a bit cloudy and bitter in my opinion. maybe it got cloudy from the mango they use but would highly recommend the oolongs they have and the matcha! can't wait to come back and try the hojicha

    Welcome to CHAPRESSO.

    Chapresso is a tiny boba tea shop in San Marino. They have breadth selection of fruit teas and milk tea boba. And it is the only tea shop in this upper middle class city. I came to grab a hot Jasmine Pekoe Green tea which is a high-quality tea leaves , often younger leaves with fine hair (pekoe). Its flavor was smooth, mellow, slightly sweet, with fresh fruity undertones. Prices were fair. Staff and service were cordial and on spot, respectively. Indoor and outdoor seats were very limited. Overall, I liked my tea at Chapresso. I highly recommend them.

    Ask the Community - Chapresso

    Are your fruit teas made with fresh puréed fruit or concentrated purees?

    Hello, we use fruit puree, not concentrated and no artificial additives.

    Do your drinks have caffeine?

    Hello, all our teas except for our hibiscus teas have caffeine. However, teas usually have about 30% of caffeine or less compared to coffee. The only tea we currently have that has equivalent caffeine to one shot of espresso is our matcha!

    What kind of milk is in the milk tea?

    At the moment, we strictly use non-dairy creamer. However, we are looking into adding additional milk and milk alternative options in the near future!

    Will you be adding other toppings like grass jelly? I didn't see that many choices

    Hi, we are always testing new drinks and toppings! We do think in the future we might be adding more topping options, but as of right now we only have 4 options: honey boba, agar boba, lychee jelly, and mango jelly. Sorry about that.

    Are there plans to have wifi so people can work from your cafe?

    Hi Shawn, we have always had free wifi! Just let us know if you want to use it, and we can give you the passcode.

    Besides street parking in front of the store, is there additional parking near the store?

    Hello, in addition to the street parking along Huntington Drive, we also have a parking lot next to our block (adjacent to Verizon) with about 20 spaces that is usually empty!

    Yelp shows it's open but I'm literally outside their store and it's closed. What are the actual hours? It's 4:37pm on sunday FYI

    Hello, I am so sorry about that. We have an emergency building maintenance issue so we’ve been forced to close every day until it is fixed. We are trying to get it fixed as soon as possible, but because their scheduling has been unpredictable, we…

So many times I've had to wait around for 5+ minutes for my drinks that are already ready because they're dealing with people who are taking their time to order, drinking samples, asking questions, deciding what they want, etc. It's a very frustrating experience because this could be easily solved by having another employee up there or having someone dedicated to checking if anyone's waiting for online orders... I understand that the worker is busy and trying their best- I wish management would add a second person so it's less stressful for the worker and for the customer picking up. They usually have two people work the front at their other location in Diamond Bar- they would definitely benefit from doing the same here. I hope that in the future they have someone else who can help by paying attention to people picking up online orders. Otherwise it feels like I'm not skipping the line, I'm still waiting in it.

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.
