    Found this place through SGV boba passport. It's hidden behind Ho Kee Cafe. Friendly service, great drinks, nice AC, clean, spacious with lots of seating and plenty of parking behind the shop. It's a great place to study or hang out with friends. I enjoyed the green milk tea and the mango green tea. We arrived when it just opened so the boba wasn't ready yet so I got aloe. He was very generous with the toppings. We will definitely return to try more drinks on the menu!

    A great boba shop even after all these years. Their drinks are consistent and the quality has been there. My favorites are the rose GT, guava GT, and the GT with the hokkaido cream top. Top it off with their mango star jellies and you won't be disappointed! I recommend 30/50% sweetness.

    Wintermelon Green Tea with Boba
    Fion L.

    Nest Tea has been one of my favorite bubble tea spots for years, and it's truly one of Arcadia's hidden gems. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the wonderfully fragrant aroma of freshly brewed tea. The shop features a clean, minimalist interior with a handful of tables, making it a great place to study, get some work done, or simply relax with a drink. What keeps me coming back, though, is the consistently friendly service and the outstanding quality of the drinks. **Wintermelon Green Tea with Boba: 5/5** This was an exceptionally well-balanced drink that showcased the best of both flavors. The wintermelon contributed a subtle smoky, caramelized sweetness with delicate sweet gourd notes, while the green tea balanced it beautifully with a floral, earthy finish that kept the drink light and refreshing. Soft and pleasantly chewy, the boba provided the perfect textural contrast to the fragrant tea. I also really appreciated how accommodating the staff was. They happily customized my drink by blending green tea with the wintermelon and even had me sample it beforehand to make sure the flavor was exactly what I was looking for. That level of care and commitment to quality is something you don't see everywhere. After countless visits over the years, Nest Tea continues to be one of the best boba shops in the area. From its thoughtfully crafted drinks to its attentive service, every visit has been consistently enjoyable. It's the kind of neighborhood tea shop that keeps you coming back, one perfectly brewed cup at a time.

    jasmine milk tea with boba
    Grey C.

    great tea shop! came in at around 9:10 pm because this was one of the few places that were open at the time. i got the jasmine milk tea with boba which was delicious and the chrysanthemum honey tea which was delicious as well. in both drinks the tea flavor was strong which was great as some other places water it down. the guy at the counter was super nice as well. there are quite a few tables so it is a good place to study!

    Green milk tea & mango slush
    Melodie G.

    This is such a cute, quiet cafe; literally a hole in the wall type of place. I originally went here to use my SGV passport and my drink was so delish that I decided to get a mango slush. (It's currently super hot now so the slush was verrrrrrry refreshing) if you enjoy quiet, simple cafes this is the place for you! It's great if you really need a quiet place to study or need to get work done. It's a little hidden in a small plaza but there's lots of parking in the back if you can't find any in the front!

    Green Milk Tea with Boba

    A taste of Hawaii! We visited Nest to get a stamp on my daughter's Boba passport. I got the guava green tea, can I tell you AMAZING! Great refresher on a hot day, just enough sweetness and the flavor was superb. Boba drink was on point with sweetness and the Boba was fresh. Pleasant and kind service. Definitely will return!

    Milk teas are ok
    Graciela C.

    Tried this for the first time and I can't say I will be coming back. The oolong milk tea was mostly underwhelming and lacked the aromatic flavor I wanted. Also, the pudding was terrible and tastes cheap, the kind you make with a powder. The other tea was Hokkaido with grass jelly which was also underwhelming. The jelly didn't taste like grass jelly and texture wise not as silky as it usually is.

    Stopped by to grab a drink after eating at Ho Kee Cafe next door. Not really a spot I'd hang out or chill at since the interior isn't that appealing, but the drinks themselves were solid. We got a smoothie with mango jelly and a milk tea with jelly -- both were tasty and refreshing. The portions are generous, served in pretty large cups, though they'll run you about $7.50 each. Overall, not bad!

    honey lemon tea  matcha slush  mango black tea
    Kay M.

    Free parking on lot. Good place to study or hang out. Music isn't too loud. They have 8 tables and outlets between the tables. The honey lemon tea was alright. Used to be better. The matcha slush barely had any matcha, it was mostly milk and sugar. The mango black tea could've been better. The drink quality has gone down. Come to hang out or study, not for the drinks.

    Hokkaido Milk Tea
    Lucy M.

    This was a pretty chill spot and a service was quick! Free parking. There were tables and chairs for people to sit down and perhaps work on something. (May need to wipe tables before using.) I do think the drinks are quite sweet. At 50%, it felt like something between 100% to 75%. So it should be safe to ask for even lesser sugar if you prefer your drinks not too sweet.

    Green milk tea
    Selene S.

    Tucked away in the corner of the plaza, it's easy to miss. There is free parking and not hard to get a spot. Inside, it is pretty quiet with plenty of tables and seating to sit and work from. Decor is nice and trendy. I got the green milk tea, one of their top 10 drinks. I asked for half sugar and half ice but it still was too sweet for me. It tasted pretty creamy and had a hint of tea taste.

    Honey Oolong Milk Tea
    Alyssa C.

    Quick drink for the road and was pleased with my honey oolong milk tea (75% sweet ofc)! Very quiet spot for students to study or chit chat. Also.. I have a boba shop hypothesis. 9 times out of 10.. the best drinks come from the most unenthused and half hearted bobaristas who look like they have other places to be.

    Ask the Community - Nest Tea House

    Do they still use and allow redemptions for stamp cards?

    Yes

    Can they cater?

    Yes

    Is this related to the new San Gabriel location?

    Yes :)

    How is this business handling the re-opening?What safety measures are they taking? Are they offering dine-in?

    No dine in yet . Still mask require for customers

    Do they no longer have almond milk tea? :(

    Yes :(

    Looking to be more waste conscious. Do they fill in drinks if you byoc (bring your own cup), offer discounts, or any of those sorts of incentives?

    Unfortunately no

    So they have plentiful outlets to charge up? Also if there a lot of ppl is the WiFi like a dinosaur

    unlike other tea places, their wifi has never failed me lol

    Do they use real milk for their milk teas? Also do they allow a no sugar option?

    Yes

    Can I bring my own cup?

    No. No one does

    How good (how fast) is the WiFi? I need a decent connection speed to study on my laptop. Please give me good feedback. Thanks!

    Pretty damn good that I've never had to leave due to WiFi issues. There's also 2 routers I think?

    You guys have great teas. Are you considering giving customers a discount for refills, i.e. $1? I would definitely come by more if you are.

The shop feels very nice and clean with a simple interior design. My top drink is probably the White Peach Oolong Milk Tea, which has an oolong tea base with floral notes and a kick of sweet white peach. I like how creamy and fragrant it is. At 50% sweetness, I feel like there is the perfect balance of sugar, tea, and milk. Another solid drink is the Oops Cheese Matcha Smash, which is easily one of their best sellers. This drink is creamy, rich, and indulgent. The layer of cheese foam deepens the flavor of the matcha, making it extra creamy with an enjoyable contrast. Aside from drinks, there are also some snack food options like popcorn chicken and fries. The savory snacks would pair perfectly alongside the sweet drinks. This is for sure a boba spot I would recommend.

You definitely can taste the rich tea fragrance notes in each of their drinks. So far, I've tried their One Tea Signature blend milk tea and their Orchis oolong tea with coconut cloud. I also especially love their popping barley topping. It's a unique spin to the traditional boba. It's refreshing a fun to eat. We also got their walnut custard cake, which was a nice treat. They are slightly crispy on the outside, yet pleasantly moist on the inside. The custard inside added just the right about of sweetness. To finish each mini cake off, each contain bits of actual walnuts on the inside, which really made this dessert well worth it. The only reason I am knocking off a star is because of their staff. They were not very friendly or communicative. The majority of the time, they really tried to avoid making eye contact with the customers. This makes the experience feel awkward and unwelcoming.
