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

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.

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.

I did think it might have been over brewed a little? Kept having this astringent/film in my mouth. Saw that there was a $2.99 promo (assume it's testing out the market?) for a lychee milk tea latte 50% sweet and I really enjoyed that! The lychee was fragrant, the latte part was nice and frothy/creamy. Yum! Some seating available. Order on your own on kiosk, pretty quick to get order.

Luckily enough, there was only one other person in line so ordering drinks went by pretty fast. This location is perfect for visiting since there's plenty of space for parking in this plaza. The store overall is very welcoming and inviting with the decor. I ordered a peach jasmine milk tea with 100% ice and 100% sweetness with boba. The drinks came out fairly quickly and the service was excellent. If I lived in the area, I would definitely want to come back to try the other drinks on the menu like some of the matcha drinks and cheese yogurt. Overall, if you're in the area or visiting this place is great to check out for some quick boba!

I thought this was an elegant and fun looking tea spot. The drinks here were delicious as well. I…read moreonly want to hear a couple months ago, but it looks like the place is permanently closed. :( They might have other locations in the general area. The way to order here was primarily from a kiosk with people helping you out if needed. I came by to grab a drink before meeting some friends for dinner. I ordered a Matcha white champaca salted cheese. The only thing I really knew about this drink was the Matcha part lol. But it looked and sounded amazing so I went with it. It was really good! Interesting flavors for sure. I really enjoyed the drink that I got here. If this place is truly closed it's really sad. Hopefully I could go to another location soon.

Yelp incorrectly lists this location as closed, but they're still fully open today. Tried the…read moredancong oolong milk tea and the gardenia milk tea. Both were tea forward and smooth. Not as sweet as other tea shops, so their recommended 70% sweetness is more like 50% elsewhere. Menu is mainly milky drinks, so not the place for people who prefer brewed fruit teas. Would recommend if you like milk teas on the delicate side. Their tiny parking lot is awkward and cramped, so you're better off grabbing street parking nearby.

So much variety of teas here! I love how they have a picture and description of each type of Tea so…read moreyou know what youre getting. 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 stopped by Cup of Cha Tea House today while passing through Monrovia, and I'm so glad I did. It's…read morelocated right in Old Town Monrovia, and the shop itself is super cute, spacious, and inviting. This is a great little spot to hang out with friends or family, play games, go on a date, or just relax by yourself with a drink. I came with my baby sister and we both really liked the atmosphere. The front of the store has cute seating, and there's also a smaller, almost private, area toward the back near the bathrooms with a little couch and board games, which gives the place even more personality. I'd say the back area with the small couch is more of a first-come, first-served spot. The couch could comfortably fit a group of 4-5 people you came with, or maybe just one couple. Otherwise, it might feel a little awkward sharing such a small space with people you don't know unless you're not socially awkward. They have a good variety of drinks on the menu, though they don't sell any food. My sister didn't like the drink she initially ordered because she had requested foam and salt, but the staff was kind enough to remake it to her liking, which we really appreciated. Good customer service makes such a difference, and they handled it very kindly. My drink came out great... good size, good flavor, and fairly priced. Overall, I'd definitely come back here again if I'm in the area. Cute shop, good drinks, great service, and a nice cozy vibe without feeling cramped.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and had a really good experience. The shop was clean, ordering on the tablet was super easy, and the drinks came out pretty fast. The drinks are HUGE too, definitely worth the price. One thing to watch out for is that some toppings are already included in certain drinks, which was actually a nice surprise for me. There's a little bit of seating inside, and the location itself is really cute with lots of surrounding shops to walk around and browse. Definitely a nice place to grab a treat while spending the afternoon in the area. Also appreciated that there was plenty of street parking nearby, which made stopping in really convenient. Thanks Cup of Cha !

Seeing that it's the same drink I ordered within 48 hours, I found a big discrepancy in the quality of the drink. The 2nd visit did not have the same texture or temperature as the first time and the boba was also much tougher. Unfortunately I'll give this place a break until there's a desire to come back.
