Our server was very friendy and explained the tea selections. We were able to taste a variety of Chinese and Taiwanese teas because we each chose a different one. We didn't have much expectation for the food but a few of the items were surprisingly good. As a larger group, we had to constantly ask for more water to seep our tea since the kettle was fairly small. At the end, they offered us free soft-serve if we wrote a yelp review. Our family of 7 all wrote a review for the freebie. Overall, it was a good experience but some smaller details could be improved.

I love this location because it's spacious and plenty of tables to sit down and relax. Parking is available on the street. Drinks: I love their mellow blend. They have both coffee beans to choose from. I tried their hojicha tea espresso for the first time and it was really good. I could taste the bitterness from the tea, which I do prefer. The drinks were overly sweet, so regular sweetness is perfect if you don't like sweet drinks. Glad to see Fika Fika is doing well and the drinks are consistent across all locations!

Soooooo good! Where do I even begin?! I was in the area craving my usual boba fix and I am SO…read morethankful I stumbled upon this place. The Hojicha Pudding in the Iron Buddha Oolong Milk Tea is a solid standard. But the Ube Taro Mochi Green Milk Tea?! HELLOOOO. Hella yum! I got both at 30% sweet and 50% ice, and I'm so glad I did because it balanced the pudding and that rich ube taro mochi paste perfectly. I fear full sweetness might be a little much, but I'm an old Asian who believes desserts should be "not too sweet." Lololol Service was friendly, the shop is cute, and I loved the cute lighting and tea wall. I live about an hour away and I would genuinely consider making the drive back JUST for this tea!

This is usually my go-to for boba when I seek it out on a quarterly basis, but recently I noticed…read morethat both locations (Alhambra/ Temple City) keep their temperatures quite high on a hot day so even when it's 6pm (and 90s outside), you still won't feel that comfortable there. FYI- There are some charging ports at Formosa but not all tables have an outlet. (+)- there are weekly BOGO deals (tip- check Instagram as it varies from store to store) I also visited Summerfield near Rosemead/Valley that same weekend and felt that it was more comfortable / had more seating albeit they do not have a BOGO deal like Formosa does.

I had their Starry Night blueberry series drink recently, and it was so tangy, sweet, and refreshing in the summer heat. I loved it, and I really home they keep it on the menu. I am also a huge fan of their signature blend. I LOVE strong, earthy teas like oolong tea, ember tea, hojicha, etc. and their signature blend if one of the most unique earthy blends I've ever had. It's earthy but still has a unique sweetness, almost like a mocha or a coffee with a hint of cocoa. It pairs super well with their coffee jelly. OneTea's ember tea is also the absolute best in the area (and trust me, I've tried them all and keep a list...). Crazy strong, so strong I get it at 75% sweetness level instead of my 50% sweetness that I get everywhere else, and it pairs wonderfully with the golden boba, the sweetness of which balances out the earthiness of the tea. In addition to the delicious drinks, the staff is always so kind and accommodating. I try to top every time. I also really like how there's a nicely decorated, spacey (literally) seating area in the back. My friends and I like coming here a lot for good drinks and to catch up. I LOVE OneTea!!!

I especially liked the Rich Koyamaen Matcha, Taro Salted Egg Yolk, Black Sesame Hojicha, and Madagascar Vanilla Bean. The shells have a nice crispy texture and the fillings are flavorful without being overly sweet. I wanted to try the Taiwan Oolong and Chocolate too, but both were already sold out when we arrived. We also tried several pastries, including the Kimchi Bacon Garlic Roll, Black Truffle Mushroom Danish, Blueberry Ricotta Danish, Rose Raspberry Lychee Croffin, Échiré Butter Croissant, and Almond Croissant. I really liked that they have both sweet and savory options, especially some more creative Asian-inspired flavors. The Lemon Sparkling Americano was refreshing and paired really well with all the pastries. Service was also wonderful. The owner was very attentive and took the time to explain which pastries were best eaten immediately and how to properly reheat them at home. You can really tell they care about the quality of their pastries even after you leave the shop. One of my favorite new bakery finds in SGV. Definitely coming back, hopefully early enough to finally get the Taiwan Oolong cream puff next time!

Came here with three other friends on a saturday afternoon. Josh created the most immaculate vibes in his lovely home and put together such a thoughtful, delicious food/coffee pairing with his partner, Mei. He was also incredibly knowledgeable about coffee and we learned so much from him from brewing methods to his favorite cafes in LA. The service was next level! Additionally, every course was memorable and some highlights include the cold brew, the biscuits (perfectly buttery), the plum juice inspired palette cleanser, and the espresso take on boba milk tea. I would totally come back to try their new season. There isn't any comparable experience in the world.

Coffee omakase for a society obsessed with $8 lattes and cold brew, hear me out…read more Ahma opens as an invitation to experience the utilitarian drink as something slower and more intentional, challenging the palate while expanding your understanding of how coffee without the blanket of cream or milk could actually taste. Josh and Mei create the coziest intimate space in their San Gabriel home. Like stepping into your best friend's place who happens to work in fine dining and be a coffee expert. There are different Seasons to Ahma and for this particular one, Taiwan is the Muse and coffee is its medium. My limited discernment between good coffee and bad coffee is acidity--sour and bitter, bleh. Or watered down. I don't douse my coffee with milk (anymore) because of lactose intolerance. But here, Coffee can be strong and bold, or brewed to possess properties that taste more like tea. And decaf (!) could have notes of whiskey without any of its alcohol. Particular care has been given to serve your cold brew in a frozen glass, or hot pour over in a warm pink cup. Josh has all the latest gadgets if you are into the coffee scene. But even if you're not, observing him brew you an espresso is an act of joy, not the beleaguered coffee pot in the workplace break room, but sharing in something worth its time and precision and experience. But because this is coffee, there is also something interesting to pair with it. A blooming osmanthus jelly, translucent and floral and fragrant. A delightfully nutty and buttery biscuit, its recipe took five years to perfect, with pineapple wintermelon jelly and delicate egg yolk shavings. A fried popcorn chicken cutlet with Thai basil pesto sandwich with just the right amount of crunch. The total amount of caffeine came in just about 2 cups of coffee, and I left pretty satisfied, but this being San Gabriel, grabbed some dim sum to go afterwards. The experience was 2.5 hours, and there were a total of 4 guests served at a time. The menu changes periodically and they will return in October if you want to try the next Season.

I got coffee flight #1, which includes an Americano, milk beverage, and specialty coffee. You can get the set for $26 or order individual drinks. My favorite was the punch, made with honey black tea, yakult, and lemon juice. It had such a unique flavor! Each flight also comes with a specialty coffee at the end. I also tried cloudy, an iced Americano with red date and a cream top. I couldn't taste much of the red date, but it was still a strong, flavorful coffee. The coffee flight is such a unique concept and a fun experience for coffee lovers. I'd come back for their specialty coffee!

Apparently, Yihui Coffee has been around for some time but this was my first time trying them out…read more They have some really interesting Asian-inspired drinks. Menu is straightforward and easy to navigate, with drinks that are a little different from your typical coffee shop. I had to try their Bumble Bee and I am so pleased with how orange juice and coffee blend well together. I also got a pastry, their beef pastry, and I enjoyed it so much that I must have swallowed the whole thing. Definitely ask for it heated up. It's warm, flakey, savory, and such a good pairing with coffee. The space itself is nice for sitting and getting some work done. There's only indoor seating and I will say the chairs aren't the most comfortable if you're planning to stay for a LONG time, but there are plenty of outlets available, which makes up for it a little. WiFi is also available. Parking was pretty easy. There is street parking nearby and a small parking lot in the back. I would come back if I need to get work done, and honestly, another Bumble Bee!

This no frills boba shop is located on Las Tunas Drive in the Arcadia Center Mall. Parking can be found throughout the plaza in the front, back, and around the building. You'll need to drive in a little bit to see Nest Tea House at the back corner end of building. Interior space was clean and has lots of seating. One all gender restroom for customer use only. I was greeted with a smile upon entry. The young lady who took my order was super sweet, friendly, and nice. Very patient and helpful in answering my questions. I asked for no ice on all 4 drinks. She offered me a cup of ice for my drink since I may drink my drink on the road. So very thoughtful and kind of her. Thank you Natalie for the exceptional above and beyond service! I appreciate it. 1 Green Milk Tea with boba (free) 1 Passion Fruit with lychee jelly 1 Honey Oolong Milk Tea with boba 1 Oolong Milk Tea with egg pudding Drinks were refreshingly good.
