    Didn't know Formosa came to Temple City, and this spot was pretty empty, at least on a weekday. The flavors were solid. It's a bit pricey, but the quality is good. The drinks were made quite quickly too, and overall I was satisfied with what we got.

    So excited that Formosa Aroma just opened up in Temple City! It's located right in that new apartment complex at Rosemead and Broadway. Heads up for anyone driving,the parking is super convenient, just pull into the lot in the back. The inside has a really nice, clean decor, and they have an awesome display showcasing all their different tea selections. They have a killer promotion going on right now too, buy one Iron Goddess tea boba, get one free! The milk tea itself is incredibly smooth and has a really rich, authentic tea fragrance. Plus, the bobas are perfectly soft and chewy, exactly how they should be. The service was super friendly and helpful while picking out drinks. Definitely check this spot out if you're in the area!

    Ordered the taro coconut lattee. Rated this a 3.5/5, the drink itself was hard to drink because the taro is really thick on the bottom. You have to try hard to mix this drink, but it takes a lot of effort. I know the drinks are good here, but maybe just skip out on this one. The place has a decent size parking garage in the back that isn't crowded. It was pretty busy when we visited this location on a sunday afternoon.

    Really tasty drinks! Was in the area and decided to check it out. There was a BOGO deal for the Iron Buddha Milk Tea, and I got it at 50% sugar and it was perfect. Really flavorful, slightly smoky, and just sweet enough. It seems to be a popular studying/work spot so all of the tables were filled when we came by. Highly recc!

    Service was good but the drink was wayyyyyy too sweet even at 30% sweet. Boba was a good texture but the actual tea was very astringent and left a dry texture in my mouth.

    I love the Ambiance of this place it looks very high-end and right now they're offering BOGO special which is even better they are located in the lower level businesses of a newer condo complex Unfortunately they are the only business there so sometimes it's really busy and most the time it's not please remember to support small businesses their taste is really good

    I am around the area to play pickleball and decided to take Formosa Aroma's BOGO offer. This location is bigger than the Alhambra location. The store decor and vibe is similar, but this one looks more comfortable because it offers more seating area inside and out. Service is friendly, they suggest 50% sugar which is about right. The BOGO milk tea of week is honey milk tea with boba. They have really strong and good tea. Boba is good too. If you like sweeter side use 70%.

    This is a popular Taiwanese tea spot in SGV. They have variety of unique tea selections. You can also customize your coffee and teas. I ordered the following: 1-Hot Assam Black Tea - Extra Hot with no sugar 2-White Peach Iced Tea - 50% ice and sugar 3-Golden Phoenix Oolong tea with Creme Brulé - Nondairy creamer, 50% ice, and 100% sweet with Creme Brulé All the drinks were fragrant and refreshing. Ambiance is really nice and modern. They have tables inside and outside. I liked the unique table lamps. You can adjust the brightness. There is a small parking section in the back. Friendly staff and great service.

    My husband and I visited this Formosa Aroma location for the first time this past Sunday, 2/22 around 2:00 PM. This is a new location that's opened up in Temple City. We got lucky because there wasn't too long of a line when we first came, but the line just kept growing. It was out the door by the time we got our orders and left! We ended up getting 4 orders of Iron Buddha Oolong Boba Milk Tea - $7.50 (BOGO offer during 2/16-2/22) - The drink was pretty good, we got them with light ice and 75% sugar. The sugar was definitely on the light side so I wish we had actually ordered one full sugar to compare. The boba was warm, chewy, and had the qq texture. I wish the iron buddha Oolong flavor was stronger as the drink was a little on the light side. I would prefer a deeper roasty flavor. Customer Service: The staff member who helped us was friendly. From start to finish, it took us around 20 minutes to get our order and drinks ready. If you're in a time crunch, just be aware. Parking: I saw another reviewer mentioned that the store has their own underground parking. We ended up just parking real quickly on the street. All in all, I would consider coming back and trying out some other drinks. The drinks are a little on the pricey side, but having the BOGO deals from time to time are a good way to try some new drinks.

    Stop by to pickup some drinks for my family. The inside was so cool, quiet, clean and comfy. There's so many choices to choose from, but I spotted the BOGO offer, so gave it a try. It was the Oolong blk milk tea with boba. The teas wasn't too strong to my liking, perfect sweetness because I asked for less sweetness. The boba was flavorful and chewy. I give it a 4 out of 5. Will not mind coming back to try the rest. I saw a cute tote bag, but the cashier couldn't find the supplies. Will get it next time. There's also seats outside while you wait for your drinks. Come try it if you pass by this place

    Formosa Aroma is located across the street from the plaza with CVS pharmacy and Burger King. Parking available on the curb and in the parking structure. My husband I came by this past Thursday evening, around 6:40 pm. There was a small part of 2 people ahead of us. When it was our time to order, we ended up getting the following (taking advantage of their buy one, get one special): Rose Buddha Milk Tea- I ordered this drink to be made with 30% sweetener and no ice. This drink came with boba. I liked the sweetness level and I also liked this drink. The rose flavor wasn't overly powering the overall drink and really felt it complemented the milk tea. I would order this again. Valentine's Jelly Roselle Hibiscus Tea- I also ordered this drink at 30% sweetness and no ice. I thought the drink was a little tart but it was perfect for me though (I really don't my drinks too sweet now that I am much older). I liked the jelly pieces and thought it was a nice touch that they were red and heart shaped. ----------------------------- (Total after tax and buy one get one free discount= $8.24) My husband ordered his own separate order of the same to take advantage of the deal (have one drink now and then one to take with him to work). He didn't like the rose buddha milk tea as much I did but he did like the hibiscus tea though. Service could have been friendlier. The guy who took our order didn't seem to want to be there. But I was surprised that his mood seemed to have change when he offered us a bag for our tea drinks when it was ready to pick up. Had no idea this tea house existed and just discovered that they seem to have buy one get one free tea specials often. I will definitely be back in the near future.

    My first time at Formosa Aroma in Rosemead was during a raining weekend, and it was so memorable because the fragrant smell of the shop was so comforting! I've read that the boba here is tasty so I decided to get it as a topping even though I typically do not get boba. The server was really nice and patient with me, since there are so many different drinks and teas to choose from. I eventually got the oriental beauty milk tea with warm boba and it was good. I enjoyed the white peach tea more though since I don't usually get milk teas. I find that their tea is really fragrant and aromatic, which is hard to find with all the different boba shops out there. I also think the Rosemead location makes better teas than the Alhambra location, but that could just be me. There is a parking structure on Rosemead blvd behind Formosa, which is usually pretty empty. If you drive too fast you might miss it.

    Came for their BOGO deal to try their Oriental Beauty Oolong tea which was good, but I prefer a Golden Phonenix Oolong for the roasted flavor. Ordered a taro ube mochi milk tea which was good but would definitely get it with some sweetness. The taro ube desserts were mildly sweetened which were good. Elegant ambiance.

A few of the male staff members have been respectful, but every time I walk in, the atmosphere feels awkward--more like a group of young friends hanging out than employees focused on customer service. My main concern is from my visit on July 10 at 9:42 PM (Order #294). According to my receipt, the employee helping me was Jenny C. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted. I spent a minute looking at the menu while Jenny C stood there texting and eating French fries. When I was ready to order, she told me to use the kiosk. I asked, "I can't order with you?" She reluctantly took my order, but continued eating while I was speaking. I ordered two drinks, read everything slowly, and still had to repeat myself. After taking my order, she simply walked away, and I had to grab my own receipt. While waiting, I overheard another employee tell Jenny C to go make my drinks. When she finally did, one of the cups had osmanthus rice mochi smeared on the outside, which should have been cleaned before being handed to a customer. Management should review this transaction using the date, time, and order number above. This wasn't professional and reflected someone who clearly didn't want to be there. Whether it's a training or management issue, something needs to improve. I was actually planning to meet a friend here next week, but after this experience, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I hope this feedback is taken seriously because while the tea is pretty good, customer service is what keeps people coming back.

The inside is really spacious though, with lots of tables if you want to hang out. Overall, I'd still come back for the drinks, but I wish they were more consistent with getting orders right.

From my experience, service here is really fast, regardless of what time I am visiting. When my partner and I each order a drink, it feels as if our drinks are ready within the next minute. Since this shop is located in a very busy plaza, parking can be difficult to find during peak hours.
