Very nice workers and they helped us very well !! The packaging of the drink is a cute green as well !!

Good drinks, very helpful workers/ customer service. Good drinks, very helpful workers/ customer service.

It was amazing I highly recconned the green milk tea. customer service was amazing. and the drink options are so good

We were in the area and randomly walked by this place, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered through the kiosk and only had to wait a few minutes for our drinks. The first thing I noticed was that the drinks are pretty pricey compared to many other shops. I tried the apple Hongxuan black tea with coconut jelly, and while it was pretty tasty, it came out to around $8.50. The flavors were good, but nothing especially unique or out of the ordinary. Overall, it was good, but a bit expensive for what you get. read more

5/17/2026 This 5-star review is STRICTLY for their grapefruit green tea. I can't speak for the other drinks because every single time I come here, that's all I order. The first time I tried Guiji was in Taipei in October 2024 when I was on a mission to try 3 different boba shops every day. I loved Guiji so much that I came back again the very next day and ordered the exact same drink: grapefruit green tea. So I was pretty excited when I found out they were opening a location in SoCal. Their grapefruit green tea is incredibly rich with plenty of grapefruit pulp. It's naturally sweet enough (with a tolerable citrusy bitterness) even without added sugar. If you're not into sour drinks at all, then 30% or 50% sugar should be perfect. I ordered mine with 0% sugar and added aloe vera as a topping. Aloe vera or agar boba pairs really well with fruity teas and adds just a little extra sweetness. If it's your first time at Guiji and you like fruit teas, definitely try the grapefruit green tea. You won't regret it. read more

Okay, this new tea shop that opened up by 99 Ranch in San Gabriel has gotten a ton of hype. But I think it's just been okay from my experiences. They had a great grand opening deal where I tried their teas. Came back a few weeks later and - it is still pretty packed. Not only that, but the wait is fairly long. Out of all the drinks, my go to is their grapefruit green tea. A little pricey at $6.99 but you get a ton of real grapefruit chunks at the bottom of the drink. I've tried the 33 King's Oolong Milk Tea $6.29 plus $0.80 for boba. I will have to say that boba was on point, but the tea was quite watery and not too special. I don't know if I'd make this a go-to, but I wouldn't mind grabbing a drink in the future if the place wasn't too packed. Interior is cute but most people are sitting around waiting for their drinks. read more

Ordered UberEats since there is BOGO Grapefruit Green Tea, Honey Oolong Tea, and Black Milk Tea! Got the Grapefruit Green Tea ($8.69) - ordered it with 30% sugar & ice. The tea was very fresh and refreshing. It had lots of bits of real grapefruit pulp. It was slightly bitter but also sweet and sour. I could tell the tea was definitely good quality! I really enjoyed how the drink wasn't too bitter and had just the right amount of sweetness. Overall, the drink was a good deal since it was BOGO and was very refreshing. However, I'd be hesitant to pay full price for it since $9 is slightly too pricey in my opinion. read more

I finally had the chance to visit Guiji while I was in the area shopping at 99 Ranch. I tried the Peach Oolong tea and upgraded to a large for an additional $1. I found the price to be quite high, and the drink itself was a bit too sweet for my preference. Next time, I will definitely order it with a lower sweetness level. I do like how they used real peach bits in the tea but not a fan of the peach peel that was part of it. read more

Guiji - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

One of my new favorite tea spots. I saw this as a new place on Yelp and tried it the next time I was craving boba (fairly often lately). I saw the pictures of lines on Yelp but on Friday night, it was fairly empty. I ordered at the kiosk and ordered the jade green tea which I regretted slightly because it seems like their signature tea is the oolong. But I made a mental note try the oolong next time. Drink came out pretty quickly (the workers were very efficient). My jade tea was very good, the tea was not overly brewed and the boba was perfectly cooked. Definitely a highlight of my Friday night. I did end up coming back the next day and it was packed because it was Saturday. But, it took about 15-20 minutes to get drinks and I tried the oolong tea this time. Definitely a must get, the oolong is mild and tasty and perfect with the boba. I think I had a few favorite boba place. A little logistics. It's located inside Tawa plaza with Ranch 99 and other shops. So if the line is long, it's perfect to look around. There's also some stadium seating inside and few benches outside, but not ideal for a longer meetings. read more

Located in the same shopping plaza as the 99 Ranch market. I have had Guiji in Taiwan, it was ok. This is definitely the largest Guiji I have been to. With plenty of seatings and open spaces. The teas were prepared within timely manner. Nothing really stood out too much, as they dont have any signature drink except the 33 tea. The taste was ok, some teas are kinda bland. I give it a ok. If you want to sit and have a conversation. This isn't a bad place. 4.0 out of 5. read more

I recently checked out Guiji at the Tawa Gateway plaza, and I can see why it made its way onto "top milk tea spots in LA" lists. My boyfriend and I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised--only two people ahead of us, so service was quick and smooth. This spot really leans into authentic, bold tea flavors, which I appreciated. I ordered the 33 King Oolong Milk Tea with pearls and coconut jelly (50% sweetness, 100% tea flavor, 80% ice). The drink itself was spot-on--rich, fragrant, and perfectly balanced--but I will say the toppings felt a bit heavy in quantity. If you're not a huge toppings person, you might want to scale back. My boyfriend tried the peach tea and also the 33 King Oolong but with fresh milk. The peach tea was super refreshing and one of the highlights. The fresh milk version, though, leaned a little too milky for my taste and muted the tea flavor compared to mine. The space itself is really cute--minimalist with a soft green palette, giving off a calm, garden-like vibe. They also had a fun Easter raffle going on when we visited, and I actually won a special tote that won't be reproduced once it sells out, which made the visit even more memorable. Overall, I'd describe this place as classy, simple, and focused on quality. Great tea, clean aesthetic, and efficient service. Definitely worth a visit if you're into more authentic, tea-forward drinks. read more

I haven't been back to this plaza in so long and was so excited to see a Guiji location in the states! I ordered the Apple Hongxuan Black Tea and the Red Pomelo Jade Tea to try, and they were pretty expensive drinks, definitely a more upscale boba. The tea flavor the Apple Hongxuan Black Tea was really good, not too sweet, and the apple flavor was deep and non-artificial. The boba itself was pretty standard, with no strong brown sugar or honey flavoring. The Red Pomelo Jade Tea had less strong of tea flavor, but the citrus flavor was bright and delicious. It is pretty crowded inside, and you order at a kiosk. They have a screen that shows the orders in queue, and I waited about 25 minutes for my drinks. read more

Guiji - Apple Hongxuan Black Tea and Red Pomelo Jade Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Finally got to try out this place!! The place is cute and super trendy but the drinks are FIRMLY FIXED and you can't mix and match outside their menu. So for example, the apple black tea can't be made with green tea or oolong tea. The only apple flavor available is their hongxuan black tea. Apple Hongxuan Black Tea ($6.99)-- LOVED the apple, hated the black tea. It's my second time trying and I remember that I didn't like the black tea so thought maybe I could swap out... but no. Gave it another chance and it's still not my type. It just tastes so fermented? Like the tea just has this aftertaste that I really don't enjoy. It just sucks that I can't swap out the tea for any other tea. The apple smells really nice and tastes like "real apple" as opposed to apple juice. Their explanation was because the AI robots just mixes the drink. I'm assuming it scans the label order? So you can customize ice level and sweetness but that's it. I'm used to other places having more flexibility with their fruit tea options (eg. Green or black) or having multiple options of a similar menu item... but not here. King Oolong Milk Tea ($6.29)-- Good! Milky, sweet, good depth of tea flavor. No complaints and would get again! Parking is easy because it's in the huge 99 ranch plaza. Order on the kiosk or in person at the counter but if you can't press it on the ipad there's nothing special that the person putting in your order can do for you. This place just has so much potential but the fixed fruit + tea combo is just a bummer for me. read more

A fresh addition to Tawa Gateway (formerly Focus Plaza). Guiji is one of the newest spots to open in the oversaturated boba market on Valley Blvd., and it's already making a name for itself with its minimalistic environment and tea-forward menu. A few things worth noting: - Self-ordering kiosks as soon as you enter. - Only two drink sizes (medium and large). - There's plenty of seating inside, making it a good place to hang out instead of just grabbing and going. We ordered the hongxuan black tea and wintermelon oolong tea. Go with the hongxuan if you're looking for something refreshingly herbal, whereas the wintermelon had a subtle sweetness, not too overpowering. There are a handful of 15 min. spots just out front for patrons who are looking for a quick pick me up. read more

Guiji - Minimal. Clean. - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I personally did not enjoy this place as much as I thought I would. I ordered online and the drinks were ready when I got there. There was no line Sunday afternoon so I guess the hype has died down. I got the 33 king's oolong fresh milk tea at 50% sweet and my husband got the honey oolong tea. The 33 king oolong tea was ok, was a bit milky and the tea taste was faint. I would've liked a more stronger tea taste. At 50% sweet the drink was really sweet so I wouldn't go much higher. My husband's honey oolong tea had a fixed sweetness and I thought this one was better. I could taste the tea more. For being in such a competitive area, I don't think Guiji outdoes the competition. I prefer Molly Tea. read more

Been seeing this place on social media but they emphasized they were Taiwanese so as a Taiwanese American, I had to go try it out **Ordered Peach Oolong Tea $7.99 Tell me why I was so shocked even tho the cashier told me: they use real fruit so there was white peach bits in the tea and it was the perfect amount of sugar and tea 10/10 **People She was very helpful esp when I asked what she recommended (even tho on the menu, it literally says 'Signature Drinks') she didn't just say oh, they're right there; she actually pointed out a few of the signature drinks to me which thank thank you very much! **Vibe Clean, spacious with the viral modern vibe~ luckily I went on a weekday before class so not too many people **Overall I do know that there were a few ppl that had ordered ahead of me but strangely, it did take staff a while to get the drinks out? It doesn't bother me but if you're in a rush, I do recommend to plan accordingly. I would most definitely come back and try their other fruit teas! read more

We went to Guiji this past weekend based on a super positive recommendation from my sister. We were forewarned to place our order before heading to the tea shoppe, it we took our chances and placed the order in person instead. I can safely say that we should've heeding her warning. I figured that I didn't see a line out the door, so the wait should've been pretty quick. Boy, I was super wrong. After placing the order on the self-serve kiosk, we waited a total time of 42 minutes! I'm sure it's likely a new record high for waiting for a boba drink Anyways, I'm still giving this place a very positive review simply because of the quality of the drink I received. The Peach Oolong Tea that I ordered was mind-blowingly good. The tea was nice and strong and the bit of peaches in the tea were the perfect mix of sweetness and amazing freshness. Overall, we will be back, but we will for sure order way ahead of time next time. read more

This newly Taiwanese boba shop was opened back in February 2026. It was super packed when I arrived on the weekend. Instead of ordering via kiosk, I ordered my drinks via the counter. Large 33 Kings Oolong Tea Large Winter Melon Oolong Tea Both drinks were refreshing. I added less sweet and less ice because I wanted the taste the classic authentic Taiwanese Oolong tea. It was perfectly brewed teas. It was rich, floral and fruity as it said on the menu. The ambiance is really nice. Plenty of seats and inside and outside. Friendly staff. read more

I visited Guiji after a friend recommended it super modern spot and very busy when we went. They were also running a fun little promo where you pick an egg with your order, and inside is a prize. We ended up getting one with a free drink on the spot, which was such a nice surprise. I also appreciated that they got that free drink out to us pretty quickly we didn't have to wait long at all. We originally ordered two large orange green teas with aloe one at 80% sweetness with 30% ice, and another at 100% sweetness with 50% ice. With the free drink, we got another orange green tea with aloe at 80% sweetness and no ice. One thing I really appreciate about this place is that they seal their cups, so you know you're getting a full drink not something filled below the line. The drinks themselves are really well made smooth, refreshing, and perfectly balanced in sweetness without being overwhelming. I also love that as you keep drinking it, you actually want more instead of getting tired of the flavor it never feels too heavy or too sweet. Overall, I genuinely love this place. Definitely a solid go-to if you're craving a good, consistent drink. read more

Overall: I went on a weekday evening and there was no line at the store. The highlight of the drinks is how fresh it is and the fresh juice that they use with the teas. Their boba is also really good and is perfectly QQ and not overly sweet which pairs well with the boba. I would definitely go here again if there's no lines. The Service: Service was quick and efficient. There was no line which was nice. Drinks took about 5 minutes to come out so I didn't have to wait too long. The Drinks: Grapefruit Green Tea - this was my favorite of the drinks! If you are a big fan of grapefruit, they put so much pulp/grapefruit juice in it. It's so fresh and delicious. Apple Hongxuan Black Tea - This was my second favorite. The apple flavor compliments the tea flavor very well. Peach Oolong Tea - This had the least "peachy" flavor compared to the apple and grapefruit teas. It isn't as good, especially trying the other teas which had such a strong punch of fruity flavor. 33 Kings Oolong Milk Tea - This was such a strong earthy tea flavor which I enjoyed. It wasn't overly milk. It was very fragrant. All drinks I ordered with 50% sugar. I also got boba with the teas. The boba was very QQ and addicting. It's not overly soaked in the brown sugar syrup that some boba sit in so it doesn't overpower the tea. Price: $6-7 for each drink. I feel like this is a bit pricey since it's for the small size. They seemed to have a larger size available but it was not for sale at the time I ordered. Drinks are small for the price in my opinion. The Atmosphere: This is more of a grab and go type of boba place. There is just seating for you to wait for you drink. No place to sit and study if that's what you want to do. Store was very new and modern in design. Parking: Located in a strip mall, share with ranch 99 and daiso. I feel like that parking can be limited during peak times. I had no trouble parking during off hours though. read more

I stopped by 30 minutes before they closed and the line wasn't too bad. It took less than 10 min of waiting. Ordering is done through staff only, no self order kiosk. I find their menu is pretty limited with a couple of milk teas, fruit teas and pure teas. I went with their apple hongxuan tea and it was good! Tea was definitely strong with a hint of apple flavor but it was nothing life changing. I would say to come here if youre already shopping at the plaza or nearby and want a drink but you wouldnt need to go out of your way. They have a public restroom, the interior is aesthetic with a curving bench. And I believe they only have 1 table near the front. read more

First time visiting this boba shop & I loved it! It's located in the San Gabriel Square. There was plenty of parking & no line on a Sunday afternoon. The place was spacious with limited seating. I ordered the Apple Hongxuan Black tea & it was just like the one I had in Taiwan! You can really taste the apple and the tea & it wasn't too sweet. I also ordered the Winter Melon Fresh Milk, I've never had winter melon with milk, it went well together. I will definitely return the next time we're in the area. Make sure you sign up for their rewards program. read more

With all the competition of newly opened and existing boba/tea spots in the area, the comparison is day and night. Love the greenery decor but kinda too dimmed. It's very spacious w lots of seating indoors and some outdoors. I ordered the orange green tea and I'm not sure how to say this in the nicest way possible but it tastes slightly like meds. I got 30% sugar but their 30% sugar still tastes too sweet imo. If you ordered this, I'm sure you know what I mean. But I'm not one to always judge based off one drink so I will come back and give another drink a chance. Also, there's no hot drinks, it's all iced. The location is great with lots of parking in this plaza shared with 99 ranch, Daiso and more opening up soon. read more

Guiji is another popular Taiwanese drink chain that many Taiwanese locals recommend so I was excited to see it make its debut here in SoCal! I last had it in Taiwan so I was curious to see how the taste compares. I got the Grapefruit green tea and the 33 Kings oolong milk tea. Both drinks were really good! The oolong milk tea had a good oolong base, but had a nutty overtone which wasn't my cup of tea. If you like caramel/nut taste, you'll really enjoy this milk tea as I haven't encountered this flavor at other drink shops before. The grapefruit green tea is a clear winner for me! It was nice and refreshing, had real grapefruit pulp and tastes exactly like the fruit drinks you would get in Taiwan. Now if you're not a grapefruit fan, I would go up on the sweetness because it does have the natural flavor of the grapefruit which is both sweet and bitter. You order at the kiosk and the wait for the drinks weren't bad at all. Nice interior and friendly staff. Definitely a great addition to boba line ups! read more

Not sure how this spot is going to stay a float with another well known boba shop 300 feet away in the same plaza and another opening soon 400 feet away.. The target audience may be very niche and those who love oolong as it seems. Their menu is very limited. With the rise of modern luxe boba shops popping up left and right, this one was personally a disappointment. Decor was great but limited seating, they have a bench style seating along the wall but no tables. There is 1 table in the back near the restroom but it seems like that's for staff. Large parties might be best for a grab and go. Quality tasted like a boba shop that is cheaply opened inside a grocery market from the early 2000s. Not my cup of tea but others might like it better. Winter Melon Oolong Tea -tasted pretty watered down, wished tea was much stronger. Winter melon syrup, can't mess that up of course.. Passion Fruit Green Tea -tea was pretty watered down as well. Passion Fruit syrup, also can't really mess that up.. read more

One of the better tea places that's opened recently! This is located next to 99 Ranch in the newly remodeled Tawa Gateway plaza. There's currently plenty of parking but I can see it being hard to find parking in the future when more stores open up. You order your drinks at the kiosk and then wait for your number to be called. My friend and I came around 2ish on a Sunday and there was no wait to order. Drinks took about 10 min to come out. What we ordered: Peach oolong: I got this 0% sugar and honestly it was perfect. You could taste the tea flavor and the little peach bits sweetened the tea just right. Definitely very refreshing. Wintermelon oolong: got this 25% sugar for my husband and he enjoyed it. It was also really good but a tad bit sweet for me since Wintermelon in general is already sweetened. Grapefruit green tea: my friend ordered this at 50% sugar. I tried a sip and it was tasty! Definitely a bit tart from the grapefruit bits but also very refreshing. Overall, I would definitely come back to try more of their teas. I just wish it wasn't almost $7 for a medium size tea with no add ons included. There's also not much seating in the store so it's better to just grab and go. read more

I ordered the 3 kings oolong milk tea with boba. Their boba was the small tapioca balls instead of the regular sized ones. Personally not my favorite. As for the tea, I feel like it didn't taste fragrant and it wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be. The drink mainly tasted like milk, creamer and sugar. They're probably not known for their milky drinks and are known for their fruit teas instead since they had limited milk tea drink options. Also, I paid $8 for a large and the quality of the tea doesn't justify the price one bit. On a positive note, service was excellent. The workers there work quickly to make the orders. The store has a good amount of seating and is a nice spot to hang out with friends. Wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a good milk tea. read more

Guiji - 3 kings oolong milk tea with pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Got a chance to try Guiji off hours after lunch on a weekday. No line, walk up to order. I think there was one other person behind me and another person picking up their order. More people started coming in after I got my drink and left, so who knows how hype and fisted it is truly. I got their 33 Kings Oolong Milk tea at half sweetness, less ice and it was just alright. It's not a bad tea, but it doesn't have the same punch of flavor from the other franchises that have popped up recently (Molly Tea, Chahalo, etc.). Tea flavor was super super subtle and even at 50% sweet, it tasted a lot like sweet milk to me. It's not as bad as I make it sounds since there's a slight floral taste at the very least. Probably did a big oopsie ordering this or at the settings I did. Should have went with my gut and got the apple tea since that was calling out to me but I pivoted last second. I don't mind trying them one more time. There's a very funny random balance beam cushion cylinder in there, but there's seating outside and tiered aesthetic seating inside. The decor, messages, and design are nice. Love the greens and grays. read more

Came on a Friday night with friends to try out this place since it was so popular during grand opening. They have kiosks by the door so you can self-order or you could order at the counter. The interior is designed very modern and chic vibes with nice seating. There are not many tables though. They are known for their fruit tea so I went with the Grapefruit Green Tea medium size (6.99), 30% sugar and less ice. The drinks took around 5-10 minutes to be ready. They use paper cups so its not a see-through cup and their cups have a nice minimalistic design which I liked. The grapefruit green tea was like I heard, very fresh with lots of the grapefruit pulp in it. It tasted fresh with the aromatic green tea. It's not a fruit tea I have tasted at other places since it really does taste freshly made. I enjoyed the tea overall. Would recommend trying it at least once! It is a bit sad that the medium already costs 6.99 and a large is for extra dollar. read more

Guiji is located at the TAWA Gateway, specifically between 99 Ranch Market and Daiso. My husband, our little girl dog (yes they are dog friendly) and I decided to come Super Bowl weekend, which was during their grand opening. They had a drink special in which drinks 2 through 5 will be 70% off (So you would pay full price for the 1st drink). We ended up spending a total of 2 hours here (if I had known ahead of time, I don't know if I would have came but I am still glad I was able to take advantage of their grand opening special). My husband ordered his own set of 5 drinks to take advantage of the grand opening special. So I will just mention the ones I ordered for myself: (All the drinks listed, except of the Honey Milk Tea were made with 30% sweetener and no ice. ) Apple Hongxuan Black Tea, $6.99 prior to tax- After looking at some of the reviews on Yelp (Thank you fellow Yelp members for your reviews), I decided to order this since this was recommended numerous of times. I really like the apple flavor of this black tea. It kind of reminded me of apple juice but one that tastes natural that is mixed with black tea. This drink was very refreshing. 33 Kings Oolong Milk Tea, $6.29 prior to tax- I really like oolong tea and thought this drink was good. It tasted clean and smooth. Honey Milk Tea, $6.49 prior to tax- Unable to adjust the sweetness level on this drink, I did like this drink but I did find it to be a little sweet. Honey goes well with the tea and milk combination. Peach Oolong Tea, $6.99 prior to tax- I liked this drink. The peach flavor was nice and did not taste artificial tasting. Pearl Milk Tea, $6.39- I do love a classic milk tea and would say this would probably be it if that is what you are looking for (but if you do like oolong tea like me, I would highly recommend the 33 Kings Oolong Milk Tea). The boba was cooked perfectly. --------------------------------------- (Total= $16.37 after tax + grand opening special) For the most part, these drinks was consumed over several days (pretty much one each day). And they all still tasted really good. Although the size of the tea here at Guiji is smaller than other tea houses that I have been to, the tea here really is good. I am very happy to say that I did not have any over steeped tea, which I have had at many soft and grand openings, as the staff is still trying to perfect their drinks and learn how to run a new business. Honestly, I believe that any drink you get at Guiji would be a good one, just adjust your sweetness level (and ice, if that is important to you) accordingly. read more

And to top it all I didnt taste any, 0 percentage of the oolong tea to the the winter Mellon drink. I'm not sure what the staff was doing, I understood they were busy but 40+ minutes?

It's located in a relatively large plaza with plenty of parking. The parking lot does get really busy on the weekends, but there is an underground section if needed.

The 33 Kings Oolong Milk Tea ($6.29 - 80% Sweetness, 80% Ice) elicited a powerful surge of emotions. I felt my eyes blinking away tears of joy as its rich, crisp oolong tea carried me on a fantastical journey. I felt happy. Guiji (San Gabriel) is one of the best!! (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring card/contactless payment.) I arrived at Guiji (San Gabriel) on Tuesday (around 11:55AM). Parking is very easy. The lot is very big, and there's even extra underground parking. Staff is professional, knowledgeable, and diligent. Staff brightly answered all my questions. Staff also gave wonderful recommendations. The location is very busy, but there's no line to reach the counter. There's no self-service kiosk, so customers must speak with Staff. My order took 14 minutes and 46 seconds. Lengthy wait. As mentioned, I love the 33 Kings Oolong Milk Tea ($6.29 - 80% Sweetness, 80% Ice). Its flavor and complexity reminded me of ToroTea's Popcorn Milk Tea. The 33 Kings Oolong Milk Tea fluttered like cold silk, and its rich roasted oolong felt crisp and refreshing. This is the rare drink where I burst into gleeful laughter after wiping away my tears. It's so good that I wanted to explode into a tirade of complimentary profanity!!! AHHH!!! Concerning ambiance, Guiji (San Gabriel) is very clean, sleek, and modern. There's a long wavy bench with stone slabs. There's also one small counter with a couple chairs. The location had a welcomed earthy, jade palette. I also enjoyed the smooth, upbeat music. This location includes a gender neutral restroom for customers. There's also about three nearby/accessible electric outlets. However, this place felt more suited for ordering-and-leaving than being a study spot. Still, it's a very comfortable environment. Overall, I found indescribable joy at Guiji (San Gabriel). Staff is very pleasant; the ambiance is attractive; and the drinks are phenomenal. The 33 Kings Oolong Milk Tea ($6.29 - 80% Sweetness, 80% Ice) is liquid happiness. The wait is lengthy, but the moment is priceless. If you love tea, Guiji (San Gabriel) is a must-try. GO!!! 5 out of 5. "GO NOW!!!!" read more

I like the decor of this spot. It's open and very green. The tea choices they have here is quite decent. I got the honey milk tea, blooming oolong tea, and 33 King's oolong milk tea. The flavor is pretty good. The boba however, is kind of smaller in size. It's chewy but I would prefer them bigger. Service took a bit of time than I expected since it wasn't that busy. Otherwise, I felt the drinks were pretty smooth. Price is pretty average. I would come back again. read more
