I had the matcha fans over drink with added boba. I enjoyed every sip. This was actually one of the better boba shops in the area. We often order with a group at work and they got all the orders right and surprisingly everyone thought the same as me - a level above the competition. I will definitely be back for more. The boba was flavorful and consistency was good but could have been a tiny bit softer in the middle. Otherwise a stellar boba experience read more

The Super Fruit Tea is bright and refreshing, with a tangy tropical flavor layered over a smooth tea base that keeps it crisp and balanced. The Peachy Dream lives up to its name -- creamy, sweet, and distinctly peach-forward with a soft, mellow finish. Both drinks stand out in their own way, each bringing a unique flavor profile that makes them easy to enjoy depending on your mood. read more

Friday night with my daughter turned into an impromptu quest for liquid joy and we struck boba gold at Prolece Tea. First impressions? Spotless as a surgeon's scalpel and staff friendlier than your grandma after two glasses of rosè. Now, instead of talking to a human (ew, feelings), we ordered via a sleek self-serve kiosk, like a tech-savvy tea ninja. We dove into a Strawberry Matcha Fusion (basically a love story between a berry and a samurai) and a Strawberry Dragonfruit Tea, which sounds like something a fruit wizard concocted. Both were so good they made our taste buds throw a tiny party!! Final verdict? We slurped our way to satisfaction and walked out feeling like we just aced hydration. Great place, hghly recommend if you're in the area and your soul needs fruity refreshment with a side of vibe!! read more

Was in this area last month and after dinner we were looking to settle somewhere for drinks. This place is located in the busy restaurant area of old pasadena but there's a parking structure around the corner to park. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is small and you'll have to order from the kiosks - they have 2.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've never seen so many choices for drinks. Once you pic one there's choices for ice, milk etc you get what I'm saying Either way the 4 of us ended up with drinks that we liked. You can also choose how sweet you want it to be so mine was just right. Takes a bit of time for it to be ready but we were seated so we had time to catch up. read more

My dad wanted to try the waxberry drink for his birthday, and wanted to try the large size. To our surprise, the drink had plenty of liquid content and berries on the bottom. I don't think any of us would try this flavor again, but it was not the boba shop's fault. The service is self-serve and my drink came out in 5 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's no indoor seating/bathrooms, so be sure to look for other spots to enjoy your drink outside of the shop[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've been here a few times now. I do appreciate that they have kiosks! The drinks have always arrived quick. The staff are fine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is cozy with few seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely a hangout for small groups or just a friend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've only had drinks to-go. The strawberry matcha is delicious. But this time I got the blueberry smoothie. It was perfect for a hot day. The sweetness levels have always been just right. I'd definitely recommend this location. There's loads of drinks option and I still want to try more! read more

A small boba store serving drinks and small fried snacks. Jasmine milk tea with almond milk -- 3/5, I got 75% sweetness, but still too sweet. I could have gone with 50%. The milk tea is a rage, feels on the thinner side probably because I got almond mil. I thought the popping water chestnut topping would be fun to try since I like water chestnuts, but I really did not like the taste. Oolong milk tea with oat milk -- 2/5, the oat milk and oolong tea don't go well together here. It's a more roasted flavor, but just not that great. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]3 stars mainly because of how grimy it is. There's a noticeable layer of dirt under the benches, and every time I've accidentally dropped something, it's hard not to feel grossed out. The lack of cleanliness makes the space feel unsanitary and takes away from the overall experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, the staff are friendly and always happy to help, which I really appreciate. The passionfruit green tea is pretty good. You can opt for pulp or not--just keep in mind it's quite tart and full of seeds, so I'd suggest adding extra sweetness to balance it out. read more

I love the drinks and food options at prolece tea. I especially love that they showcase the loose leaf teas they use in a display window. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is small so there isn't too much seating, but it's not usually packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is usually an order your drinks and go. There are machines to order drinks so you don't actually interact with anyone until they call your name for your order. The staff is available to answer any questions, but not easy to get their attention since they are behind the counter working. read more

Came because I saw tiramisu drink with a lady finger in it but I guess it was a seasonal item. Got the pumpkin one instead and it was pretty good but I like things sweet. For others I would recommend getting it half sweet. They don't really have a parking lot but you can probably find street parking or one of those garages. read more

I got their chamomile tea late at night since we were looking for a café to work for a little bit. I was a bit shocked and disappointed that they didn't have Wi-Fi access for their customers. So if you're looking for a café to work at even though they're open late, this is probably not it unless you're just having a conversation. read more

I visited this store on a Friday 5 PM. The milk tea itself is good. Not quite on the boba and service. Boba: feels odd compared to wushiland's fresh newly made boba. Service: I walked in and the employee had no knowledge that a new customer walked through the door. Definitely did not greet me or say "sorry, I didn't noticed you walked in." Let's just say she knew I walked in, she did not even say "I'll be right there, give me a moment". When I grabbed the drink, I'm the only one saying thank you. read more

best service ever the girl with red hair is so nice my drink is so good but the best part was the service bc they are so nice and funny

It was around $19 for two large drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were some open tables available for indoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can place your order using a self-serve screen. Parking is available in a nearby structure or on the street. The drinks were okay, but the cups were slim and didn't fit in my car's cup holder. I tried the Strawberry Bliss with boba. read more

Tried the waxberry tea, and it was pretty good. I was excited since I love that fruit but the drink didn't really taste like waxberry, and I was surprised to see that it cost extra to add the waxberry bits to the drink. read more

The boba is good and the snacks are good but the different drink sizing is a total scam. You do not get what you pay for in a consistent manner. read more

Great drinks, okay boba. You can really taste the quality of the teas and the milk. I got the Strawberry Jasmine milk tea and I could really taste the jasmine tea without it being overpowered by the strawberry flavors. I got it 100% sugar and it wasn't too sweet. The strawberries in the purée felt very ripe as they were very sweet. I say the boba is just okay because it's very soft, so I'd definitely come here just for the drinks but not the boba. Drinks took more than 5 minutes to come out, despite walking in with no one else in front of me. read more

BOBA Fresh fruit is always a plus! I personally think that with 0 sugar, the drink still tasted perfectly sweet from the toppings and fruit. SERVICE There was only one person working, but I don't think it needed more at that time since you can also order at the kiosk and it seems like most people were ordering remotely. AMBIANCE small space with only a couple of tables, but I was the only one there on a weekday night. Tables were big enough to study but no WiFi unfortunately, but you might be able to connect to neighboring WiFi (you didn't hear it from me). read more

Stopped by Prolece Tea on a late Saturday night after having dinner with friends. I ordered the strawberry green tea at 50% sweet, and it tasted like 100% sweet. My friends' drinks at 25% sweet tasted normal. I asked the baristas to adjust the sweetness in my drink to 25%, and it then tasted like 50%. Pros: - Large 32oz option - Contactless ordering (2 kiosks) - Large menu - Small but plenty of seating Cons: - Sweetness is inconsistent - Parking (in old town) can be difficult - Drinks did not stand out to me, flavor-wise - Ambience was not super comfortable to me--I would not see myself studying here or staying here for long periods of time, but this was a personal preference. read more

Crowded on a Tuesday night because it is one of the few places open after 10pm with a variety of drinks. I can't say the place is cute. It's jumbled together in an old building in Pasadena with character. I would not want to sit there but get drinks there at night- yes. Our drinks were good. They had Califia almond milk which is always a plus. The staff was great! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I really like this place. It's a small boutique store with about 4 tables inside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. They also sell food, but I was here for their boba. When you walk in, you order using the tablet. They do not accept cash, so card only. My one issue with this place is if you order their 32oz sized drink, the cup is tall and narrow. I don't like this because, it doesn't fit in my cup holder and leaves a lot of room. It actually tipped over when I accelerated, but luckily, there was a little bit of spillage. So they might want to re-think the width of the cup. There are a bunch of flavors and combinations to try. I do like that they have different types of teas available and not just your typical black and green teas. They are located right next to The Cheesecake Factory. I parked in the garage right across the street and I believe you get 90 minutes free parking. Not sure if it has changed from this as it's been a while since I've visited Old Town. read more

The Service: There are two kiosks for ordering the drinks. Jeanny was behind the counter preparing the drinks for the customers. She was super efficient & fast! The wait time was very short. Very happy with the service! The Drinks: This was our first time trying their drinks. Jeanny was very helpful recommending drinks for us. We wanted something refreshing for summer weather so we ordered fruity flavors like strawberry, citrus, melon & etc. BTW, their cups are very good quality, way better quality than those thin plastic cups that we used to see at other drink places. They also sell some snacks. We tried the popcorn chicken & fries combo. Perfect afternoon snacks with refreshing drinks! The Parking: Across street, there is a public parking structure. $1 for first 2 hours. Very convenience & cheap! read more

Ever need a late night fix of boba tea? Prolece is my go to spot when the project is finished late and a Star**** won't do the trick!

I ordered the taro milk, which claimed to have chunky taros. I didn't have any of the real taro at all. It feels powdery to me. Their pop corn chicken was rather dry. read more

The ordering system is self service and very easy to order The place is small and quaint for couples to walk in and wait before a Uber ride out. There is a large selection of drinks and worth trying out. I am glad this is right across from beard papa and also waking distance of salt and straw. So I know I can get my sweet drink fix all in one area. I got a fresh tea mojito and it was just the right flavor after a hearty hotpot. Come and support this place ! read more

Taro is a must try, flavorful, fresh, and super creamy. The smoothies I've tried here (strawberry, cookies n cream & taro) are all super creamy - they taste like melted ice cream, but in a good way! A popular item that I would personally not recommend is the cookies and cream - while the consistency is very good, the taste of cookies was unfortunately absent. Drink was mostly milk. Would not order again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Establishment is cozy, few places to sit, probably not a good idea for large groups, especially since they are located in a very populated area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Only street parking is available, paid except for Sundays, I believe. They get busy, so there's usually a teeny bit of a wait but nothing over 10minutes (I've only been here around 10:30pm so it's pretty dead, might be longer wait during peak hours) Probably the better tasting boba I've had. Looking forward to my next visit! Pros: Open Late Fresh Moderate price (around $6-8 per drink) Cons: Limited parking Wait time read more

my favorite tea place to get buckwheat green tea with cheese cream because you cannot get the buckwheat green tea that good anywhere else. I am so glad they survived through Covid and I will continue supporting their business though their parking situation is a bit challenging since they are located right in a old pas. There is a parking building very very nearby and they only charge one dollar for your first 90 minutes . I always order my drink through Snackpass so I can just come in and pick it up. There are a couple seats, but not really many. read more

My kids got drinks from here and they really didn't care for it. They originally wanted the boba place across the street but they were closed so they decided to try this place. Ita a tiny little boba place. Nicely lit inside. You place your order on the kiosk. My daughter originally got the strawberry matcha but she didn't like it so she went back and traded her drink in for something else (brown sugar boba). My son got the strawberry one - he said it was okay. I guess it's good to try new places. This way they know what's good and what's not. Plus, not that this was under their control but there were a few vagrants loitering outside the store front - made it look shady and unsafe to be there. read more

A quick little boba stop located on Fair Oaks with a variety of yummy snacks (think Popcorn Chicken) and a plethora of boba drinks. I'll start by saying that if you're a boba snob, this might not be the most high quality tea you've had (especially with the amount of tra shops in Pasadena now.) But this place is pretty good to me! I ordered the Hot Roast Oolong Milk Tea (with Oat milk), Cajun Fries and Taiwanese Fish Cake. Overall, the snacks and the drinks were good and reminded me of my younger years getting boba with friends after school! The service was also great! It's basically contactless, ordering at the kiosk, and grabbing your items when they call your name. The order arrived quickly and we ate and drank indoors in the few seats they had inside. Would I return? Absolutely! It's been too long since I've been to a tea spot in the area where the prices aren't outrageous, and the food options are back to feel-good-basics. Other places seem too fancy these days with their insta backdrops, and extravagant presentation these days. This place is definitely the spot I'll come back to if I want some boba and last night snacks! read more

This is located in old town Pasadena and I was surprised at how good the drink was. I got an iced mango milk tea and it really was a solid choice even at 25% sweetness. They even have cool cup holders that make the cup look cool. Prices are reasonable and inside looked cool and modern. Great place for boba and tea! read more
