Ordered UberEats since there's a promo of 45% off orders $15+ and free boba milk with $20 purchase! I admit I was hesitant to order since the drinks are on the pricier side. The King of Mango Smoothie was $10.16! Both drinks would have cost $20.32 without the promo! But I couldn't resist the promo and the free milk tea with the purchase of 2 drinks? I couldn't pass it up! The King of Mango was the best Mango Smoothie I've ever had. My favorite used to be the Mango Pomelo Sago Smoothie from Yifang but this one is twice as good! Not only is it just a mango smoothie but it has actual chunks of sweet mango and bits of grapefruit, as well as green tea jelly and coconut milk. The green tea jelly was fresh and chewy. I could actually taste that it was made from real brewed tea! The mango wasn't just mango puree but was made from real, fresh, and sweet mango. The grapefruit was not sour and actually sweet and delicious! The coconut milk made the drink super creamy and even more enjoyable! I made sure to give it a real good stir prior to drinking and it tasted so phenomenal! The Boba Milk Tea was good. It wasn't too sweet and I could tell it was made from freshly brewed tea. The boba was fresh, soft, and chewy. Overall, I definitely recommend getting the King of Mango! I promise it's worth every penny! Note: they charge $0.10 for a bag!

Having tried their spot in Pasadena, my wife and I visited their new spot here in SGV during their grand opening weekend. Their promo for the grand opening was BOGO with free toppings which we had to get a hold of. Located in the a very VERY busy plaza, you'll find yourself staring at each corner of the plaza as there's just SO MANY tea spots to choose from. Inside is basically just a small shop, not much space, no tables and just bench seating by the wall and two small chairs. Ideal to wait outside as it can get quite congested fast. My wife and I ordered two drinks, Golden Leaf Milk Tea and the Peach Black Milk Tea. Both with toppings - Green Tea Jelly and Boba respectively. Since it was grand opening, wait times were a bit long but not too long. Our drinks came out within 15 minutes or so and staff was pretty friendly throughout the whole time we were there. Plus points for being quick as well. Drinks were just like the ones in Pasadena. Tea flavor is not too overwhelming and very smooth overall. Boba weren't super hard and was easy to chew. Overall, two very refreshing drinks especially on a warmer day. Excited to visit again to try other drinks, happy to have another boba spot within SGV.

I took the opportunity to take whole family to try smoothies at Macu Tea San Gabriel when they offer a rare BOGO offer. Service is friendly. They are busy making tea and smoothies. The store is small, so it offers a few benches. The plaza has underground parking. We have both avocado strawberry smoothies and mango avocado smoothies. They both tastes great. Recommend this place if you like something fresh with real fruity tea or smoothies that doesn't taste like icee with juice!

Macu Tea is such a solid spot if you're craving boba with variety. We got a mix of smoothies, fruity drinks, and milk tea, and everything was so refreshing, flavorful, and well-balanced. Nothing felt too heavy or too sweet, and it's the kind of place where you can easily find something depending on your mood of the day. There are limited seatings inside so this would be more on a grab and go spot. Staffs were so friendly and fast with services. Overall, definitely a reliable go-to spot for both fruity and tea-based drinks. we ordered: - King of Mango Smoothie 2.0 - Chi-Chi Strawberry Smoothie - Sunshine Li-Li Tea - Tieguanyin Oolong Milk Tea

We ordered: - Brown Sugar Boba Latte - Tieguanyin Oolong Milk Tea w/ Boba - Grapefruit Li-Li w/ honey drink - King of Mango Smoothie 2.0 - ACE Avocado Golden Smoothie Macu Tea has something for every mood! We went all in on the drinks and honestly, no regrets. The brown sugar boba latte was rich, creamy, and perfectly sweet, with an amazing caramelized brown sugar coating on the boba that gave every sip that indulgent kick. The Tieguanyin Oolong Milk Tea had a deep, roasted tea flavor with a really nice balance of sweetness! Definitely the one to get if you prefer a stronger, more fragrant tea profile. The King of Mango Smoothie 2.0 was thick, fruity, and sooo fresh! And the ACE Avocado Golden Smoothie was also really good! Ultra creamy with a subtle sweetness that made it feel almost like a healthy dessert. The Grapefruit Li-Li w/ honey was super refreshing and a nice change-up between the creamier drinks. It had that citrusy tang with just enough honey to smooth it out, making it feel light but still flavorful. Service was quick, and there are so many options on the menu that it's easy to find something whether you're in the mood for classic milk tea or fruity blends!

They're in their soft opening phase. Plenty of parking in this plaza. They had $1 off for the first 100 customers which we missed sadly. There is limited seating inside with a kiosk to order from. I got their Chi-chi strawberry smoothie ($8.75). It was very fresh!

Golden Leaf Milk Tea - 5/5. Floral and slightly nutty tea base. I'd recommend getting the fresh milk version over the regular milk tea b/c their creamer powder can be pretty strong. They're known for their fruity drinks, but honestly I just come here for this particular milk tea with jasmine tea jelly.

Heard about the promotion on Instagram. We came by to take advantage of their Buy One Get One (BOGO) promotion, and it seems everyone else had the same idea! We ordered the King of Mango Smoothie, and it definitely lived up to the name. They are very generous with the fresh fruit--you can tell they aren't skimping on the ingredients. It was incredibly refreshing and easily some of the "good stuff" in terms of quality. Be prepared for a bit of a wait. The shop was very busy, and the service felt a bit slow, likely due to the high volume of orders from the promotion. If you're in a rush, this might not be the best time to visit, but the quality of the drink makes it worth the patience. Parking & Accessibility This is the main drawback: parking is not good. There are very limited spaces in the immediate area, so you might have to circle the block or walk a bit to get to the counter. Despite the slow pace and the parking headache, the drinks are top-tier. I'll definitely be back for that Mango smoothie!

When I got there, they had already run out of mango, so I ordered an avocado strawberry smoothie instead. The drink was actually pretty decent. However, the wait time was ridiculous--I waited about 22 minutes for my drink, and there were only three orders ahead of me (I was the third one). For such a slow service, it was pretty disappointing. Overall, I'd give them 2 stars.

Came for the soft opening deals and bc it's one of my fav boba shop! So happy i dont have to drive and pay parking for the pasadena location. Their drinks are always so delicious and refreshing. And this is the only place I've had tea jelly where it actually tastes like tea. I hope macu stays open here bc it seems a bit rough with like 5 other boba stores in the plaza.

Was excited to hear that Macu was opening here since its closer than the Pasadena location. There was no line to order when I came so that was good. They have a kiosk for self-ordering or you can just order at the counter. I ordered the King of Mango Smoothie (8.75) and there is a lot of ingredients in the drink and it is very fresh! The green tea jelly and mango smoothie tasted very fresh. They also have a nice sling as a cup sleeve. They have a small bench but no tables inside. The employees are friendly and very helpful. Will come back again!

I love Macu Tea! They just opened in the same plaza that has 3 other boba shops so competition is high now. They are doing some deals for their grand opening now and it's $1 dollar per drink for the first 100 customers. I got the Chi Chi Mango, which is a mango smoothie with tea jelly and topped with cream. It was super refreshing and not too sweet even though I had forgotten to ask for the sugar adjustment. The nice owner mentioned it's because the smoothie was made from fresh fruits and the tea jelly from actual tea!
