Molly Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

W drinks so bomb. The customer service is great and I want this jasmine scented car freshener

Similarly to all past reviews, Molly is definitely one of the best teas!! I always get their signature jasmine milk. The tea is smooth, rich, and not too heavy. There's street parking and a small parking lot. There is also limited seating available in store. You can order directly at their kiosks, service is always prompt even when it's busy!! read more

I got the matcha jasmine salted cheese. I ordered on the touch pad and monitored the status on the display above the pick up area. I like their three holes straw. The whipped cream on top was required. Medium was the only size option. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. The indoor seating is actually pretty big with lots of open floor space. read more

I got the Double Hazelnut Choco Lava. I thought it was alright. I didn't taste much of the hazelnut and it was more chocolate forward. My wife got the Matcha Jasmine Salted Cheese and the jasmine tea was very floral and I thought it tasted much better. They have a pretty big indoor and outdoor space with lots of places to sit. read more

Molly Tea - Double Hazelnut Choco Lava and Matcha Jasmine Salted Cheese - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Molly Tea is a very popular boba tea spot with distinctive branding and good quality tea. There are very limited parking spots in their lot but there's plenty of street parking nearby which I recommend. Ordering is at the kiosks to the left when you enter and is very quick and easy. You're assigned a number when done and all that's left to do is wait. There are screens that show which orders are being prepared in the queue and which ones are ready. We went on a weekend and there is not much standing room when it gets busy. Most of the tables tend to be taken by people studying (?!) at the shop even though it was crazy packed and very loud/bustling. It's probably a lot more peaceful during the weekend. The drinks were on the expensive side - ~$8 for a regular size which to me was tiny. They seal your drink like most places but also place a multi use cap on the top so a boba straw can be used or you can sip from the cap. Pretty neat! The branding is a Sakura pink and reminiscent of LV's logo. If you order 3+ drinks you get an insulated bag. There's also some merch available for sale too. Overall I liked Molly Tea and would come again if I was in town, but wouldn't go out of my way due to the price point and value. read more

The parking lot is on the smaller side, so I'd recommend using any of the apps to order ahead. I promise it makes the whole experience much smoother. My go-to is the Jasmine Milk Tea with matcha foam. It is a combo I keep coming back to. The Jasmine Milk Tea on its own is also solid if you want something simpler. If you're in the mood for something fruitier, the Oolong Peach is a decent option, though it's not quite as memorable as the jasmine drinks. Overall, a solid tea shop if you're into aromatic, floral teas over traditional boba. The decor is super cute with the pink cups and merch. read more

Finally got to try Molly Tea, and it is obvious why they are the top boba tea place. First off the interior is huge with a great aesthetic, and the gigantic tea cup outside is iconic. You order on these huge tablets and get a text when your order is ready. The quality of the tea is evident, and the tapioca is honestly the best I have ever had. Perfectly chewy and at the perfect sweetness level. They have plenty of merch as well and the staff were friendly. read more

Luckily, it wasn't busy, but there were a lot Numbers being prepared, I asked the staff about the wait time in case it was long; surprisingly, she said it was less than 10 minutes. Ordered at the kiosk, ordered the premium Jasmine milk tea with oat milk, and 70% sweetness came out quickly. The milk tea was fragrant and delicious. read more

I'm all about that tea esp jasmine tea (in case you didn't know mo li is jasmine in chinese, hence the name). Chinese tea brands are known to focus on tea quality so that got me excited to try this! The parking lot is a bit small and cramped, I wish they can expand for more parking because the place itself is pretty spacious and aesthetic. And not to mention smells like jasmine tea!!! We got premium jasmine tea and premium jasmine. Orders came fast and both drinks were delicious, floral and refreshing but the standout was the premium jasmine tea. The matcha was good too but the jasmine and matcha were muted. I'd definitely come back and maybe try other drinks that had more jasmine in them! read more

If you like trendy spots, Molly Tea is definitely a great choice. The shop is beautiful, modern, and especially very clean. The staff are polite, welcoming, and professional. As for the drinks, they are good and easy to enjoy. The tea flavor is not too strong, and the drinks are not overly sweet, which makes them very refreshing and easy to drink. However, parking is quite difficult to find. Honestly, for just one drink, I probably wouldn't want to struggle too much looking for parking read more

There's a reason this spot is so popular--the tea is really good! I went with the classic premium Jasmine milk tea since this was my first time there, and I got it iced at 50% sweet. They recommend 70% sweet, but I thought 50% was just right. I also got boba, but honestly the brown sugar boba just ruined the flavor, I think I'll get crystal boba next time. I love the packaging as well! Such cute pink cups. They definitely need more areas to sit and park, there was a ton of people there on a Sunday afternoon. The service was honestly not fast, but they were super slammed so I understand. We waited quite a while, but at least they had a board showing which orders were being made. Hope to try more of their drinks soon! read more

Molly Tea - Premium Jasmine Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Molly Tea is a popular boba chain in China with its first store opening in Shenzhen, China in 2021. They opened their first US store in Flushing, New York in April 2024. Molly Tea has over 2,000 stores worldwide as of November 2025. This San Gabriel store location isn't exactly the luckiest location as many boba shops have opened and closed here over the past decade (Boba Ave 8090, ID Cha House, 85C Tea House), but it looks like Molly Tea is having great success here. [Parking]: Limited free onsite parking. I came at 3 PM on a weekday so I was able to find an available street parking spot. [Atmosphere & amenities]: About 12 indoor tables and 4 outdoor tables. There is one giant pink teacup in the patio area to take pictures with. They host events like Furry Friend's Party on Saturdays and Sundays (bring your pets to the store and receive a free pet-friendly whipped cream with any purchase - one pet per cup & each customer may receive up to 2 cups per day, limited to 100 cups per day). There is one unisex restroom. [Ordering]: Customers place their orders through one of two kiosks and customers can also purchase Molly Tea souvenirs. Once an order is placed, customers can monitor the screen at the pickup counter to track their order number. They offer large-order discounts: over 20 drinks get 10% off, over 30 drinks get 12% off, over 60 drinks get 15% off, and over 100 drinks get 17% off (orders must be placed in the app). I waited about 25 minutes for my drink and there is a sign stating that during peak hours wait times can be 30 to 45 minutes. [Menu]: There is a sign recommending that drinks with foam should be consumed within 15 minutes as the foam dissipates quickly. Another sign states that their drinks are not very sweet and recommends a 70% sugar level with less ice. The top drinks on the menu are Premium Jasmine Milk Tea, Snowy Jasmine, Premium Jasmine Matcha, Pistachio White Champaca Coconut, White Champaca Milk Tea, and Pistachio Jasmine Coconut. *** Premium Jasmine Milk Tea (regular milk, less ice, sugar 70%, $6.99 + brown sugar boba $0.99): The drink was surprisingly refreshing and quite good with perfect sweetness, but the boba tasted mediocre. *** The drink was a bit expensive and the wait was not ideal, but I can certainly see the appeal. I like Molly Tea better than Chagee, but Chagee has a better price point. A solid 4.5-star on drinks, but bump down due to the mediocre boba, long wait during not-so-busy hours, and limited parking. read more

I hate that I love this place. The drinks are insanely good but so pricey. The space is absolute chaos and there are more people inside than should be allowed. You'll also wait 20 minutes for a drink and never get a table. Still worth it though. read more

Molly Tea - Matcha White Champaca Salted Cheese - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I would say this was an average spot - it's like a typical boba place, wouldn't say you need to go out of your way for it but if you're near it, pretty decent choices and place. There's plenty of space to sit and parking in the front and back and street parking but gets filled up pretty quickly. I wanted to try this place because I heard from a friend that it was sooo good- compared to regular boba places, I would say this is a little stronger in the tea but otherwise it's about the same. I got the premium matcha jasmine tea, but curious to come back to try the champaca and pistachio ones. read more

Yesterday, got the peach milk tea with 70% sugar which was recommended & i really liked it! It was a perfect sweetness & the tea has a floral scent but is light & tastes smooth. Came Wednesday afternoon & there was no line. My friend has waited over an hr at night before which I don't think it's worth it unless I order online & pick up read more

Can't lie it's just as good as the hype if you really enjoy tea. Would not necessarily compare it to boba. The milk teas are definitely the best thing here but their jasmine matcha is super solid as well. My go to drink is the snowy white peach jasmine read more

Parking: Lot has about maybe 8 spots? but it's usually always taken. Street parking is the only way and it's packed because of all the homes on that street. Interior: Medium size shop but it was insanely packed. Would be great for large groups but studying but not with the crowds. Wait Time: 1-2hr wait after ordering from kiosk (10min). Items Order: 7/10 DanCong Oolong MT $7 - felt like drinking regular milk tea. the tea flavor was there but wasn't WOW 8/10 White Champaca MT $7 - very floral. Solid drink overall. 7/10 Matcha Jasmine Salted Cheese $7.5 - matcha was average, salted cheese was a good addition but nothing special overall molly felt like an average tea shop. not worth over a 10min wait. plenty of boba spots in the area read more

This place is so aesthetic and the drinks were good, making it a decent place to study or hang with friends. They're very busy though so the drink took a while to come out but their service itself is pretty fast. Their drinks cater more to asian taste where it's "not too sweet". I got the White Champaca Hazelnut Choco Lava and Premium Jasmine Matcha, both at 100% regular sweetness but they were still mild in flavor. I'd compare their taste/flavor similar to that of Chagee's. I heard their other jasmine drink is the most delicious though so i'm excited to come back to try it! read more

Went back home to the 626 and had to stop by at Molly tea. This tea spot is amazinggg! I am obsessed. I went yesterday and got their new menu item - mango jasmine coconut tea and omgg I am so addicted. They have real chunks of mango. There were also giving out their limited edition stickers and pins this week, so I was so happy to get all the cute free goodies along with the drink. I also got an iced jasmine brew tea with 0% sugar - it was so aromatic and strong exactly how I like it. The shop is always soo busy, but the service is very quick. Drinks come out within 10 minutes. The workers are soo fast and efficient making the drinks. You also order at a self kiosk. They do take apple pay. There are tables inside and outdoors. It can get pretty loud and is more of a social gathering spot. I am so happy this tea spot is very close to home. read more

Molly Tea in San Gabriel is my go-to when I'm craving bold, floral tea flavors. They specialize in potent floral drinks-my favorite is the Snowy Jasmine, which delivers an intense jasmine punch balanced by just the right sweetness. I also love the pecan topping-it's unique and delicious! My husband's favorite is the White Champaca Milk Tea-another standout. Just a heads up: these teas lean toward less sweetness, which I love, but it might not suit everyone. They offer customizable sugar levels, though! I'll be honest, Molly Tea is very popular and can get chaotic during peak hours. We've waited nearly an hour before, so patience is key. I'm a little crazy-I'll wait for my Snowy Jasmine! My husband, not so much. They're open until 1 a.m., which makes it our go-to late-night spot, especially after concerts. Just note that parking is a hassle-the lot is tiny, so plan on street parking. Overall, if you love floral, artisan-style tea, it's worth the wait-just don't come for the boba. I come for the milk tea, and Molly Tea delivers every time! read more

Tongmu Lapsang Milk Tea - 5/5 very refreshing but tastes like regular milk tea at any other boba shop Jasmine Mango Smoothie - 4/5 flavor is so nice and not overpowering I would have opted out of the sago and crystal boba tho :/ Osmanthus Milk Tea - 5/5 also very refreshing- so far my favorite White Champaca Matcha with Salted Cheese - 3.5/5 the flavor was too much and the matcha isn't unique or special. Would do without the cream cheese and matcha foam. Apple Jasmine Milk Tea - 2/5 not a great flavor at all. Tastes a bit artificial. Service and ambiance: Wait a while to get your order cause it's so busy but worth it. They work very hard and it's mostly clean? No automatic doors but inside is spacious if u go during the week but still busy and can be small during rush. Limited outside seating. read more

Finally tried Molly Tea this weekend! I tried the premium jasmine milk tea with oat milk 30% sweet and added brown sugar boba- I loved this! The floral jasmine flavor was strong, and paired well with the creaminess from the oat milk. I thought the sweetness level was perfect (for me and my Asian girlies). My partner got the Tongmu Lapsang Salted Cheese milk tea 70% sweet with brown sugar boba- this was definitely a much sweeter and richer drink but damn was it good. If you're a sucker for cream cheese like me, get this one!! There was a crazy queue when we arrived mid-afternoon on a Sunday. We waited a little over 30 min after ordering before getting our drinks. If you have the time to wait, I'd say it's worth it. read more

Molly Tea is seriously good. The milk to tea ratio is not overpowering at all, which makes it better than CHAGEE--I'm still working through a list of all the latest Chinese/Taiwanese tea shop openings in LA. 30% sweetness is perfect. Be prepared to wait 30-45 min for your drinks. The short order lines are deceptive. read more

I can't say enough good things about Molly Tea. You have to try it and order as many drinks as you can because a visit here will probably be really busy.

You can't go wrong with anything because everything truly tastes so good. read more

Been to molly tea a couple of times already, it is pretty overrated imo but i love any peach oolong tea latte. Drinks: Snowy peach oolong & snowy jasmine I recommend ordering online before arrival unless you are okay with waiting in line for the 2 kiosks. Workers don't take orders from their pos because it gets very busy, keep in mind drinks wait time can take up to 45 minutes or more. Parking is very very limited so you'll most likely park in neighborhood streets :) read more

Molly Tea - Snowy Peach Oolong & Snowy Jasmine - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I might get backlash for this, but the drink I had here was pretty mid and overrated. I got the Snowy Jasmine which is their signature Jasmine Milk Tea with a whipped cream top. The tea itself was pretty disappointing. I got it at 70% sweetness, but it lacked flavor and seemed watered down. I did get more flavor when I got to the bottom of the drink, so it was not mixed well. Compared to similar products at Chagee and Bako Tea House, the flavor was super weak in comparison. Considering the prestige of this brand, I have a feeling I just got a bad order. The whipped cream was solid though and I enjoyed munching on the crushed pecan toppings. I would reccommend downloading the Molly Tea app and placing your order in advance since the wait times can get pretty long. I visisted this shop on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty busy. I had to wait an additional 20 minutes after my designated wait time from the app for my drink to be ready. For parking, there's a tiny lot in front that's usually occuppied, but also street parking. There's a decent amount of seating and tables inside, but again it does get pretty busy. I would try Molly Tea's product again, but today's rating mostly reflects my drink's flavoring. read more

Molly tea is the real deal. First off somehow the glass on the front door broke. 2 workers. Came to me to tell me to watch out. Because I had my dog with me. Super considerate Got the Jasmin milk tea. Regular 70 percent recommended sweeetness. Most popular drink. It was great. Very fragrant. Not too sweet. Such a good quality drink. It does get busy. People order a lot of drink so it might take a long time. They did have a screen out that calls your number and for some reason they didn't call mine. And my drink was just sitting there. Lucky I asked. I would have docked a star but since they were so nice. I let it slide read more

Came today for Mother's Day today and the Premium Jasmine Tea was incredibly watered down with barely any tea flavor. Waiting 40 minutes for just one drink was a complete waste of time. I don't care how many times management responds saying they'll "work on workflow" and wait times -- clearly nothing has improved. The servers were rude and dismissive, couldn't give us an estimated wait time, and just kept saying "just wait, it's coming." Customer service was disappointing from start to finish. Also beware: the kiosk is preset to automatically add a 10% tip, which feels misleading when the service is already this poor. To make matters worse, parking is horrible. The parking lot is tiny, and all the surrounding residential street parking was completely packed. I'd rather take my business elsewhere to places that actually care about their customers and kiosk can at least provide realistic wait times. read more

Molly Tea - Not worth coming back for - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Overall rating of my experience: 2.5/5 - 1 hour wait from standing in line to order to getting our drinks - The premium jasmine matcha tasted like milk with a hint of jasmine tea. I was pretty disappointed with my drink. - The jasmine tea my bf ordered was fragrant, strong, and good. - There is a small parking lot but plenty of residential street parking. Just be aware of street signs. - There's some seating indoors and outdoors. - There's two self order kiosks. It was slightly confusing in terms of where the ordering line ended bc people were standing around waiting for their drinks. - Ordering didn't take long but waiting for them to make our drinks took the longest given the amount of orders ahead of us (including mobile orders). - The pink aesthetic and packaging is cute but overall disappointed with the drink I ordered. read more

Parking is small in the parking lots so it's probably better to find street parking and just walk to the store. It was my first time visiting so I didn't know we could place mobile orders through the app. Ordered at one of the two kiosks and waited for around 30 minutes until our number was ready. Lots of people sitting there waiting for their drinks. I ordered the premium jasmine milk tea. The tea had a really nice floral taste. Would stop by again but place an order on the app instead of waiting there. read more

Molly Tea - Premium Jasmine Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Highly highly recommend ordering on the app so you can check wait times before coming here. I've seen it vary from 15 minutes to an hour on weekdays so def try to get ahead of that if you can. There's a decent amount of seating inside to wait but it gets packed pretty often. The parking lot out front is tiny so I prefer to either park on the nearby street or order ahead so whoever I'm with can run inside to quickly grab the drinks Jasmine milk tea: 5/5 very refreshing. I like that this has a good balance and jasmine and honey flavor Snowy jasmine: 5/5 I like that the foam is also jasmine flavored and there's pecans or something on top. Def a good choice if you want something sweeter. Also if you want to save the drink for later, you can ask for the foam on the side which is super convenient Peach oolong milk tea: 4/5 probably not my fav at the moment but I still like it and I used to order this a lot more when I was in an oolong phase Jasmine mango coconut: 3/5 not bad overall but tasted more like mango than anything read more

Came across this business through social media and decided to give it a try recently. As i drove passed the business i couldn't help but notice the insane amount of people at this boba business, not surprising given the social media clout it has. I ordered the Pistachio Jasmine Coconut Boba Tea and it was 9/10. Molly Tea delivers with its great balance of flavor in this particular drink. Not one single flavor overpowers the entire drink. You get a real taste of Jasmine tea, coconut and pistachios. I also enjoyed how Molly Tea integrates real pistachio crumbs in the drink giving it an extra kick in flavor and texture. I like to considered myself an avid boba drinker and i can say with confidence Molly Tea has also great boba texture and sweet flavor. All in all, i was thoroughly impressed with the Pistachio Jasmine Coconut Boba drink i ordered. If you decide to order inside, it can get pretty chaotic since the kiosks often have crowds gathered around them with no clear lines. If you don't wanna wait long for your drink, i would say try some other place cause this business sure does have its crowds on weekends. Parking itself was tricky as their lot was full and nearby street parking was all taken. Highly recommend ordering ahead of time to avoid waiting long period of time. I waited close to 35 minutes for my drink to come out. The business has many tables and seats inside but could get real loud with peoples conversations. read more

It's a cup of cha contest... recently I tried Chagee (Westfield Century City) , Auntea Jenny (Irvine), and Molly Tea (San Gabriel) to see which one was the best. Originating from Shenzhen, Molly Tea has more than 2,000 locations all over the globe. They have a small but growing presence here. Premium Jasmine Milk Tea is an excellent blend of fragrant and creamy. Gardenia Milk Tea is slightly subtle but still has present floral notes.
