Hazelnut Milk Tea with Boba ($4.27): cute boba spot in Old Pas! I liked the milk tea base and the boba, but the Hazelnut topping was just okay. The milk tea and Hazelnut cream don't mix very well so that makes the drinking experience a bit meh. Would definitely visit again to try other drinks! read more

Prolece Tea - Super Fruit Tea 75% sweet, less ice with boba and lychee bites - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I went and got a milk tea on Friday 02/11/22 which was ok tastewise but when I saw a plastic piece at the bottom of my drink after I was done drinking it made me a bit disgusted, yet I did not make a big deal out of this unfortunate situation I didn't write a review because these things happen, human error happens so I came back again 02/16/22 to try a different drink which was Hazelnut milk tea with boba. The issue is that even though I upgraded to organic milk and added literally the best of the best ingredients available on the menu for this drink, I ended up having a horrible stomach ache for the rest of the night and at this point I'm just not sure in the quality or freshness of the beverages that cost around $9 after all upgrades! I'm beyond frustrated and upset that after giving it another try I ended up sick to my stomach. read more

Prolece Tea - Plastic in my boba drink - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

My gf is a tea fanatic and whenever she says she's wants boba i always stop at Prolece. Cheese jasmine green tea 75% sweet and no toppings. Its probably the best cheese foam we have ever had. We actually compare it everytime we try new places. We usually say ooh this is almost as good as prolece cheese foam. Or nah prolece is better. This place is great. Get the chicken!!! read more

So prolece was very responsive when I left my first negative review, and I'll say now, I didn't want to write! But I had to, and they responded accordingly. The manager set up a meeting with everybody after reviewing; "the 1st review", hehe. As any great establishment should do when a customer leaves genuine feedback! Let me just say, whatever happened in that meeting worked. We ended up ordering prolece yesterday because postmates had offered $12 credit and we took up the offer. I was pleasantly surprised; enjoying a mango peach smoothie with straus milk 100% sweetness, like it was 3 months ago! As it was before. Delicious. They fixed the ratio of their smoothies and nailed it once again. I definitely recommend prolece. I plan on updating my review to a 5-star once sometime has passed and consistency has been proven again. Thanks guys, you rock read more

Great tea! I got the Cheese Jasmine Green Tea at 75% sweetness. The drink was still quite sweet but you can really taste the tea. Their cheese foam complimented the tea very well. They have a large variety of options as one can see on their menu and strong fragrant tea smells fill the room as your arrive at the store. They also serve fries & popcorn chicken if you're feeling kinda snacky. It's a great tea place to check out if you're in the area. read more

Wow, this place was better than expected. Prices are extremely reasonable and a bit on the lower side of what Milk Teas usually go for. The largest size was less than $6 bucks and could have been split into 2 servings. I had the Employee suggestion of Hazelnut Rose MT it was topped with almonds and the foam/creme was hazelnut. My BF had the Jasmine GT with cheese foam and I wanted to switch haha. Overall would definitely come back when in the area. read more

Decided to try this place to shake things up from 85C and Jin around the corner, which have been my go to in Old Town Pasadena. Overall, the milk teas here were quality. The boba was chewy and not stringy, soggy, or clumped, and the tea was nice and creamy. However, I am docking off a couple of stars for the fact that there was only 1 person working behind the counter, AND the credit card machine wasn't working... and when asked about the "limited edition special buy two drinks get free french fries" as advertised at the cashier AND outside via signage, the staff simply said, "we don't have fries right now." I understand that, but please take down the signs or update them to not get hungry customers' hopes up! Other than that, the service was friendly. Check in on Yelp for 30% (wish I knew that...); other than that you get 10% off if you have a valid student ID. Not sure if I will be coming back given the other go to boba shops in the area. read more

Omggg my new favorite boba place !! The prices are affordable and the tea is so yummy and fresh ! The tea literally taste like tpumps but so much better because they don't use artificial sweetener for the fruit flavor!! And the customer service is great I love this place !!! read more

Late at night, this was one of the few boba tea places open. It's on a street without parking, but I was able to find a spot a block away. The menu is quite extensive with a few interesting flavors I don't see often. It was hard to even choose because of it. Taro is my go to drink and I am always hesitant to get it because so many places make it with a bland powder mix. But the Taro Coffee caught my eye since I could use some caffeine so I went for it. I was not disappointed. While the taro had the usual powder flavor, it was somehow better than the others. It was rich and creamy. The color of the drink was a darker purple than usual too. Once you stirred in the coffee, the two flavors blended perfectly resulting in a sweet but strong flavored coffee. The other drink I ordered was the Rose on Lychee Tea. I don't like floral but my girlfriend does. For me, the drink was a little too much rose, but the sweetness from the lychee helped balance it nicely. My girlfriend thought it was very good. If I lived closer, I'd be visiting this place a lot! read more

Great tea spot! I love how they display all their looseleaf teas for you, but hate that I am so indecisive with their many options. Came here for the first time recently, and was torn between a few flavors, but decided on the peach oolong since it seemed to be an employee and fan favorite. I could definitely see why -- nice aromatic tea with a refreshing peachy flavor. They brew the tea when you order, so it's nice and fresh. I got my drink with the lowest sweetness level and their cheese foam, no toppings. I really liked the flavor of their cheese foam, I could eat it alone. It's nice and fluffy, lasted me my whole drink. They have some rose and lavender teas for all you floral tea lovers... I know that's next on my list! read more

My friend and I wanted something to drink while we were walking around Old Town Pasadena and we found this spot. They are known for their cheese foam on top of their drinks. They have a variety of loose leaf tea to choose from and had snacks available like popcorn chicken or fries. They offered so many different seasonings for their fries. The shop was really small and they do not have indoor/outdoor dining as of yet. My friend ordered the Cheese Peach Oolong Tea with 50% sweetness. I ordered the Double Matcha with Califa Oat Milk and no added sweetness to it. The Double Matcha is basically two scoops of matcha. I love to drink bitter teas, so i thought this was a great item on the menu for me :). There was a plexiglass divider in between the cashier and the customers. It was hard to hear each other because the plexiglass divider pretty much acted like a barrier and sound could not go through. We had to repeat our order several times. We did not have to wait long to get our drinks even with two customers ahead of us. My friend that her drink was good and that the tea was strong. I thought the Matcha was okay. I had to move the straw up a little bit because there were still a lot of powder piled up on the bottom. I was not sure how they are made, but it needed to be whisked a little more. I do want to come back and try their loose leaf teas. read more

The serving cups are oober cute! With that being said, we came for bubble tea and let's be real....in Pasadena you can reach bubble tea in a few steps distance. Therefore, yuh really gotta stand out stand out to get 4 or 5 stars. Prolece gets 3 stars from me not as a bad thing, but merely because it is exactly that: A-OK. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing flavor poppin' that would make me NEED to come back. We got the Milk tea with boba and the strawberry kiss. My son took a sip from the strawberry kiss and was NOT a fan of the cream. Poor kid. He gave it a second chance later though using a straw so he could actually get the strawberry drink. I too can't say I'm a fan of the cream, but to each their own. The staff was nice. The place has about 4 small circle tables. It isn't a big place, but there's a bench against the wall with pillows to give the go ahead and hang out vibe. Located right next to the Cheesecake Factory. Worked out to about $5 a drink. read more

Stopped by on a weekend, very helpful staff that let me sample their unique offerings, and then quickly made my drink. I selected the Passion Fruit Mojito with less ice and sugar, and added aloe. This was a great combo of high quality tea, some bubbly, some sweet (25%), even good quality aloe too. The only sticking point is the price point, $5.97 for a single drink, higher than every other tea place I've been to. read more

This place is very quaint and cute. The service was very slow and the drinks were okay. The boba was hard, not soft and chewy. I got a honey dew milk tea which was good but the boba kinda ruined it for me. My boyfriend got a mango peach slush and it was very bland and lacked any sort of flavor. Probably will not come back. read more

Prolece Tea - Hazelnut Rose Milk Tea(16oz) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

I'm catching up on Yelp reviews tonight instead of doing my homework - I've been meaning to review Prolece for awhile, although I've heard it'll be changing ownership soon and I'm a little bummed. Overall, it's very good drink-wise. Their jasmine tea is probably the best I've had. They use the perfect amount of milk and a very strong tea flavor pervades. There's a very pleasant mouth feel. It's a great drink and I was honestly blown away by it because I wasn't really expecting much. I also have had the tiramisu milk tea, also a very good drink. Nicely balanced and the foam is solid. The boba is problematic, sometimes. It's been good 1/4 times I've been, the other 3 it tasted like it had been sitting out all day (I went at night). Additionally, it didn't really have any flavor to it- just tapioca starch. Either way, I think they could've fixed the boba and I'm going to be very sad if the drink quality decreases under new ownership. Boba is a 3/6, drink is a 4/4. 7/10 which is a 3.5 and we round up to 4 stars. If you're not getting boba it's a solid 5 stars and I would 100% recommend. read more

I had their seasonal red bean lover, which was recommended by the cashier. So good! I would probably get 50% sugar next time I get that though. I also tried my friend's grapefruit blaze, which I thought was awesome. Definitely ordering that next. While we were hanging out and happily sipping our boba, one of the cashiers came up to us and asked how we liked the place and how we could have our drinks be adjusted if we didn't like the taste! So sweet! There isn't many places that are that attentive and making sure that the customers are being dealt with properly. Can't wait to be back next time! read more

This is an really good milk tea place. Their tea is so fresh and allow for very customized orders like how much ice and sweetness you prefer. The quality of the drinks are much higher than your typical Boba drinks you normally find in old town. What`s more, their boba is amazing!!! They don`t have many seats inside, so this is most a to go place to grab a drink. Although there is no parking space, the public parking do have one hour and half for free which just cross the street. I am definitely coming back for more. I had my favorite which is the Grapefruit blaze and am very satisfied. You can still taste the tea flavor from it and 50% of sugar is perfect for me. And they are offering stamp cards now.I can see myself coming back often! read more

Of the boba tea places in Old Town Pasadena, this one is definitely my favorite one! I've tried a couple of their drinks and have enjoyed them all. I also think their staff is very friendly. My favorite drink is their Taro Dream! It has chunks of real taro at the bottom and it's delicious!!! I really like their Jasmine Milk tea as well as their normal milk tea. They have punch cards here so if you go a certain amount of times, you can get a drink free. My bf really likes the hazelnut milk tea and their passion breeze fruit tea. read more

Today I tried a 16oz house hazelnut milk tea with boba and half sweetness. Getting 50% was definitely a good choice, as the tea & foam were plenty sweet on their own. The top of my drink was dusted with chocolate and coconut shavings, which pleasantly reminded me of tiramisu. While I enjoyed the drink overall, I felt like the boba pearls left something to be desired. They were almost too soft- I felt that they lacked the satisfying chewy texture I was looking for. The barista was super friendly, though, and offered her suggestions and recommendations. I'd stop by again if I were in the mood for boba and I was in the area, but it's not the kind of shop I'd go out of my way for. read more

Came here on a rainy Saturday night, so it was pretty empty. It's a quaint little place, there are maybe about 4 tables total for parties of 2, 3 at the most. I got the jasmine milk tea, 75% sugar, and it was the perfect amount of sweet for me (not a hue fan of super sweet things). Milk tea was good and I added boba which were chewy & honey flavored. Overall, good quality of milk tea and it was very good. Definitely will try to return again in the near future! Parking is in the parking structure or metered street parking, which both can be challenging if it's full. So, that's they only down side. read more

While my family and I waited for our table at a nearby restaurant, we walked into Prolece because it looked good. I'm SO glad we did because it was one of the best Boba places I've ever been to. I didn't want my drink to end, I loved it so much. I'm still thinking about it and I can't wait to go back read more

I got the roasted oolong milk tea with boba and chose the house non-dairy milk for my milk option. The order came out very quickly which I appreciated. I found the drink pretty watery, might be worth it to take the upcharge for a different milk (they had 2 non-dairy and one dairy option), but I feel like the sweetness percentage and the ice level were accurate. The tea itself felt kind of oversteeped/bitter. read more

Cute little place. As you may know it is hard to find street parking in Old Town Pasadena; having said that, this place is right across the street from the Green street parking structure. 90min free. The place is cozy, employees were helpful and courteous. They have a list of their best selling drinks on the board so that was helpful. I got the tiramisu milk tea as well as the grapefruit drink. The tiramisu tea was good, the cheese on top gave it a good creamy consistency. The grapefruit juice was very refreshing, but I think a bit too sweet. You end up spending $5-6 on a drink and I guess that js pretty standard these days. read more

Fast service - usually it takes about 15 minutes for your order to be ready for take out. You can even go inside the store to place an order as well. I placed an order for 4 bobas and then completely forgot about one drink so I called on my way to pick up the boba and they were super nice about it and had it ready by the time I arrived, I just needed to pay for it with my credit card. Boba itself is soft, chewy, and sweet. The drinks also were really good. Straws are on a separate table for you to grab on the way out. read more

A bunch of tea and boba places have sprung up all around Old Town Pasadena - and my sweet tooth is here for it. Prolece is my favorite place for a refreshing tea based drink. I typically get something slightly carbonated because sometimes you need bubbles on your life and it's frowned upon to drink champagne during work hours. I've gotten the grapefruit blaze, passion breeze, and mojito. Half sweet and half ice. Everyone is always super nice and helpful. Perfect! read more
