    Strawberry Mango smoothie
    Jessica A.

    Tasty drinks to enjoy as you shop the mall. They even have some good to enjoy as well such as sandwiches. We ordered a smoothie and a classic milk tea and they were both delicious. Service was great!

    This little tea spot is located at the Montebello mall. IMO I thought the menu was a bit confusing and there was too many things on the menu. I couldn't even find the area for the toppings so we opted to get no toppings. I ended up getting a lychee fusion with less sweet. Less sweet is still very sweet so we definitely should've asked for like zero additional sugar. The drink itself was okay, it was refreshing and flavors were good. It's a okay spot if you need a drink at the mall.

    Thai tea was good :]

    Went here on a Saturday afternoon, 2pm. We ordered the thai tea and the coconut smoothie with boba for me and my daughter. Ambience is nice though the place is a lil small. Lady in cashier was friendly. But OMG the coconut smoothie was so good, it wasnt too sweet but nor was not that sweet, it was just right and I would buy again. For my daughter's thai tea it was good and i reccomend. Overall I reccomend this place and i would come again. :D

    Located upstairs next to Macy's, I went to this milk tea place simply because it was conveniently where I needed to make it a return and I was really thirsty. I ordered two items with no expectations and came out pleasantly surprised, mostly by how kind the owner lady is. The drinks are pretty standard. I ordered a jasmine green tea slush and a mocha cappuccino shake. Both were refreshing, but there was nothing too extraordinary about them. Just the right amount of ice and sweetness, and my tea slush was nice and strong. As for the lady owner, she handed me the drinks kindly and later, gave me a half-filled cup of hot water to help warm my baby's milk. For a mall joint, I didn't have high expectations, but based on the owner lady alone, I would be inclined to visit again if I'm in the area and thirsty.

    Brown sugar milk tea

    I really hate to leave a low review considering how much I love Prinkipia. Service: -The young girl who took our order was nice until we didnt select "tip" on the screen. She then just quickly walked away silently and in annoyance. We were going to tip cash lol. -Drinks came out pretty quickly it took a good 1-2 minutes! We came on a Sunday and the wait wasn't so bad. Drinks: -Brown sugar milk tea (left) was okay, pretty watery not too strong in tea flavor and very light tasting of brown sugar. Horchata frappe (right) was very disappointing. It tasted nothing like horchata. Very very disappointed because I love horchata! I just tasted a very strong caffeine flavor. It tasted as if there was no horchata added !! ): -The boba is soft and not so chewy, and doesnt have a flavor like other bubble tea shops such as Honey or Brown sugar. Aside from this experience I recommend going to Prinkipia because they have a large variety of drinks! Juices, Smoothies, Fruit teas, coffee, and so much more. This is my goto for boba everytime I am at Montebello mall. Besides the experience from this day I LOVE prinkipia.. their boba on other days, their customer service, and drinks are always spot on. Ive had two cereal milkshakes before and theyre outstanding. Their smoothies are so so good and their fruit teas are so flavorful.

    Located right outside of Macy's inside the Montebello Mall. Prinkipia has an extensive menu of drinks. It took some time to make a decision on what I wanted to try out. When I went at the time it opened, there was only one person handling the cashier duties in addition to making the drinks. Hopefully he had someone else to help him out later on because even with a few orders, it really adds up.

    Thai milk tea
    Berry H.

    Came shopping at the mall and ran into this cute coffee/boba shop. I wish I have this near my home! My friends and I ordered El Chile, 2 Elotes (one regular and one spicy Cheetos), 1 Thai milk tea, 1 Taro milk tea, 1 Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake, few macarons. I have never had elotes nor El chile, but they are sooooo good! My favorite was the hot Cheetos elote. I can eat this everyday. Lol It's overall very clean and the staff are very nice. I wish this was closer to my home, so I can bring my kids! I would definitely stop by again when I am in the area.

    Taro milk tea with mango popping boba
    Michelle C.

    This little boba shop is soo cute! It's right next to Macy's on the second floor. The decor is bright and fun, while you can see them making your drinks. The cups are something I never seen before because it's basically short and wide with white graffiti decor on the cups. They have macaroons and cookies along with a huge variety of boba drinks. - taro milk tea with mango popping boba: first off, I love taro. Once I had this drink I fell in love! I wanted another as soon as I took my first sip! The taro isn't too sweet and it was mixed very well so don't taste any powder. I loved the mango boba because I hate regular boba because I feel like I'm eating my drink and not just enjoying it...too lazy. It was a burst of mango along with my sweet taro. Soo good! You get to choose if you want boba or not. Besides typical boba and jelly variety, they had mango, green tea, and coffeee popping boba. Which is basically liquid balls that burst in your mouth along with your drink. I absolutely love this shop and wish there was one where I lived. The people who work here work very hard and no one in this area seem to be nice to them as they were ordering or waiting on their drink. Not cool. I just gave a dollar and the guy on the register was so happy, like he never saw a tip before. Always tip especially when you can see the people who serve you is working hard.

    Captain crunch milkshake. This was amazing! 10/10 would recommend.
    Jazmine S.

    Wow! The cereal milkshake is a game changer!! This little boba shop perfectly located at The Shops at Montebello not only has your typical boba milk teas (taro, coconut, regular milk tea) it also has sandwiches, bottle water, bags of chips, & elote. My favorite thing on the menu are the cereal milkshake. We ordered the Captain Crunch one and was not disappointed. My only regret is not ordering a large. I cant wait to go back and try to Trix and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. 10/10 would recommend!

    Not true they don't have cheese foam
    Mario O.

    Not very impressed. Have to say this was my first visit and I was disappointed by the quality and poor selection. I asked for a few options and turns out they were out of the things I initially wanted. Strange for them to be out of certain ingredients on a Saturday morning. I did eventually get a caramel milk tea with honey boba. The boba did not taste anything like honey and was a bit chewy for me. I don't expect much from a shopping mall boba shop and this experience is why I will continue to have low expectations.

    Nice little snack spot inside Montebello Town Center. Boba here is great! They sell sandwiches, macarons, and other drinks too. But if you're here, come on, you gotta try the boba drinks. Plenty of flavors, sizes, and smiles from the employees. The vibe here is nice. They have a couple of seats but you're inside a mall, enjoy your walk while window shopping and sipping on your happy stuff. Prices are fair for the sizing of their cups. We enjoy this spot when we are here in Montebello.

I always order the matcha with 1.5 scoops of matcha, vanilla syrup, and light ice, and it's consistently perfect every single time, rich, smooth, not watered down, and clearly made with quality matcha. You can actually taste it, which sadly isn't a given these days. My boyfriend's go-to is the vanilla cold brew with a splash of whole milk, and it never misses. Smooth, balanced, not overly sweet, just really well done. Beyond the drinks, the vibe is what really sets Roam & Brew apart. It's always busy for a reason. Friendly staff, welcoming energy, and a place that genuinely feels like it was built for the community. You never feel rushed or like just another order. Consistency, quality, and care are everything in a coffee shop, and Roam & Brew nailed all three. It's obvious how much thought goes into what they serve and how they show up for customers.

It's only available iced & 14 oz. They have milk substitutions (oat/almond) for +$1 and lactaid 2% free of charge! The coffee was quite strong but not too bitter or overpowering. The cream top was slightly thick in consistency so definitely recommend giving it a good stir prior to drinking. It wasn't too sweet and tasted very refreshing. Really enjoyed the hint of red date and pear taste! Definitely a MUST GET! Overall, I really enjoyed my drink and experience and would definitely return and recommend!

This recent time, when I picked up my drink for my mobile order, the girl seemed a tad bit annoyed for no reason. The workers at the San Gabriel location are much nicer. The drinks also come out fairly slow despite going early in the morning, I recommend ordering through the app ahead of time.

Both of them were excellent, and I felt they were priced appropriately at a dozen for $18. The Thai Tea seriously tasted like you were truly drinking a thai tea. We also shared one large classic chocolate chip cookies (so yummy!) The only thing we didn't understand is that we shared a Ube Tres Leches. I am not sure what was going on. Don't get me wrong, what we ate was very good; however, it was 100% not Tres Leches. It was an Ube Cream with some graham cracker crumble underneath. So, my assumption is that they must have just given us the wrong item. I would love to try the Tres Leches again in the future. Please support his lovely local business. It was a real treat!

Fragrant jasmine took center stage, offering a beautiful floral aroma and delicate tea notes that paired nicely with the earthy matcha. The milk, however, overshadowed the matcha and made the drink taste a bit milkier than I had anticipated. While the banana was a unique addition, its flavor remained very subtle and was difficult to distinguish, leaving the jasmine as the dominant flavor profile. Despite not quite meeting all of my expectations, Leaflet Coffee left a great impression with its inviting ambiance and creative drink offerings. With such a unique menu, I'm excited to come back and discover more of what they have to offer.

I was surprised to learn they do have hot coffee options now, along with a huge variety of flavored coffees and teas. I love cinnamon, so I asked if they had any cinnamon-based drinks, but unfortunately they don't carry anything with cinnamon flavors. Instead, I ordered their original House Coffee, which is Vietnamese-inspired, along with a traditional Vietnamese iced coffee so I could compare the two. I also grabbed a pistachio macaron. The employee taking our order was really friendly and gave a few helpful suggestions, which made the experience even better. The shop itself has a very trendy and welcoming atmosphere. There were a lot of people inside studying, working on laptops, and hanging out, which gave it a really relaxed vibe. Overall, I'm glad I finally stopped in. I'd definitely come back again to try more drinks next time I'm passing through.

She said that was less ice and she made it correct, and wouldn't remake the drink to how all the others were made correctly. I was there in the evening when the store was empty. I was also given the incorrect bottled coffee, which I told them before I left so they exchanged it. I sent them a message and they responded with a generic they will follow up but didn't , and then an email which they haven't responded to. So if they get your order wrong you are out of luck. Disappointing lack of customer service!

    Finally, a real croissant place in this part of the SGV! After fulfilling my wishes for real coffee…read morewith Yihui and Monolith, the pastry God has answered my call for flaky crunchy fancy schmancy croissants in the West SGV. We tried the kimchi bacon with salted egg, pistacchio Dubai chocolate, plain, and a couple of cream puffs. All the croissants were deliciously crunchy flaky, my favorite is the pistacchio Dubai chocolate but the kimchi was also very creative. All the cream puffs were also great but personally croissants are harder to perfect for me so this is the spot for that. I also had a pistacchio cream latte that was delicious as well. The pricing is on the higher side compared to other pastries but if you're used to getting croissants elsewhere like at Delight (Pasadena), Bread Lounge (DTLA), Friends & Family (Los Feliz) then this is on par. With the care that goes into making the pastries here, they are justified to charge this type of pricing.

    Cute dessert spot amidst SGV, just adding more lines to the area's already lengthy list. Kinda envy…read morehow many options they had now and wished they could've been closer to central LA. Browned seemed to start it's popularity via the choux but expanding its wings into croissants as well. The choux was quite petite so it's perfect that you had to order in minimum set of 4, also meaning able to try different flavors as they offered plenty. We tried Earl Grey, Maple Pecan with Chocolate coating, Hojicha with Black Sesame, and Taro with Salted Egg Yolk. They were all so peculiar and luscious in their own way and you'd be pleased by the full stuffing. If I had to pick my top 2 I would go to the last 2 and the Taro Salted Egg was even not to skip IMO. Perfect blend of sweet and salty flavors in one bite. Both the Hojicha and earl grey served very solid tea flavors with bit hint of bitterness. They did regular drop for the choux for pre order, but if you prefer looking at the showcase then making choices just like me, worry not as ordering was pretty swift and no long line.
