Also ordered their dirty Thai and my bf really liked that one too. For food we had the avo bagel on the jalapeño cheese bagel and the turkey sandwich. Both were delicious! Will be back :)

The matcha flavor was light but I would be curious to see how the other drinks taste! Vibe: This place is pretty packed with both people chatting and studying. It can be pretty loud, but with headphones, this is a good place to work. Theres plenty of tables but very limited on outlets. Parking: there's a parking lot shared in the plaza. However it can be pretty hard to find. Overall: this place isn't bad and I'm glad I gave it a try. It would be great for a quick catch up with friends.

Ming Cha in Walnut is definitely one of the most unique drink spots I've tried recently. The cheese…read morefoam is so smooth, creamy, and slightly salty, which pairs perfectly with the tea. Every sip has a rich flavor without being overly sweet. We all loved the matcha and black sesame drinks. The matcha tasted earthy and smooth, while the black sesame had a deep roasted nutty flavor. The ube foam was also super creamy with a light vanilla-like sweetness that made the drink extra special. I really loved the Cheesy Taro drink! The taro flavor was rich, smooth, and creamy with a natural sweetness, and the cheese foam on top made it even better. The slightly salty and creamy foam balanced perfectly with the sweet taro flavor. Such a unique combination and honestly so addictive! Definitely one of my favorite drinks at Ming Cha. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors My kids loved their drinks too, and we already want to come back to try more flavors! If you enjoy boba, milk tea, or creamy foam drinks, this place is definitely worth checking out. Friendly service, cute atmosphere, and lots of creative flavors to choose from! Free Parking!!

I decided to give Ming Cha one more try, hoping my experience would be different, but unfortunately…read moreI still left disappointed. Over time, I've tried most of their drinks, and they all seem to have the same issue--they're very bland and lack the strong tea flavor I was expecting. No particular drink has really stood out to me, and I keep finding myself wishing the flavors were richer and more pronounced. The shop itself is nice, and I know taste is subjective, but after multiple visits and trying a variety of drinks, it just hasn't been a good fit for my preferences.

The Mocha Latte was equally impressive with a smooth espresso flavor and just the right amount of chocolate. You can tell they put care into every drink. For food, the Roast Beef Panini was delicious. The bread was perfectly toasted, the roast beef was tender and flavorful, and everything came together for a satisfying meal.

But today was a little off…read more He ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict and the yolks were both almost fully cooked through, practically hard-boiled consistency. As eggs benedicts are supposed to have runny centers, we did call over a server and asked very kindly about the mix-up. He was VV annoyed at us for even asking, making a face and talking w attitude saying "it's usually like that" (my friend has had this menu item from this location many times, he said it was always runny. we do wonder if they changed management or recipes, but that's beside the point) While he did eventually say he could tell the kitchen, he made us feel so bad we just said nvm and my friend ate it that way :( The lattes were good! Very strong and sweet! Otherwise, the server who brought our lattes was friendly and hospitable! And the girl at the register was welcoming and friendly too! -1 for the cooked yolks and unwillingness to fix the mistake -1 for the unnecessary attitude when we asked nicely (I worked food service too so I know his tone was unwarranted)

This time we got the Banana Milk Latte and the Sweet Potato Latte. Both were so good! The Banana Milk Latte actually tasted like banana milk and wasn't overly sweet. The Sweet Potato Latte was a surprise!! In a wonderful way. I was expecting something similar to ube or taro, but it really tasted like roasted sweet potatoes. Super unique and honestly delicious. The staff were friendly and you could tell they put care into making the drinks. We haven't tried any of the food yet, but everything we saw out looked really good. The cafe itself has a nice, chill vibe with plenty of seating to hang out, work, or catch up with friends. Definitely a spot we'll keep coming back to. Whenever we're in Rowland Heights, we'll be making a stop at Smoking Tiger!

The taste of the Chiffon Cake was mouth watering and my family and I really loved it :) They served it for Mother's Day special and I am hoping it becomes a regular menu item in the future.

I've been a fan of Aroma Craft since its beginning so had to give this new place a try. While the…read moreofferings are somewhat similar and crosses over with its original location few doors down, this place focuses on tea and desserts in a brighter, cozy environment. So far I tried Black Sesame Chiffon Cake, Hojicha Cold Foam Milk, Coco Hojicha Cloud, and Wintermelon Lemonade. Black Sesame Chiffon Cake was excellent. Nice spongy texture with good amount of black sesame flavor. Hojicha Cold Foam Milk was good but thought it could've been little bit sweeter. Coco Hojicha Cloud was pretty good. The hojicha cream had good amount of sweetness and balanced well with the coconut water. Wintermelon Lemonade was refreshing although a bit sweeter than I expected. Overall I like this place, but not sure why Aroma Craft felt a need to open a place just for desserts & tea when its original location is just few doors down and already offers great desserts and drinks. I think it could've just expanded its dessert menu instead of opening this location. I rarely see any customers here, so hope it doesn't go out of business.

We went when it wasn't super busy but when it is you can join the virtual waitlist to secure your spot. We got the jasmine oolong milk tea ($6.60) with passionfruit jelly ($1) and the misty oolong milk tea ($6.60) with brown sugar tapiochi ($1). We really tasted the freshness and the tea in both drinks which is always what you want and expect in your milk tea. The jelly had only a mild passionfruit flavor but was still good and unique. The brown sugar tapiochi was interesting. The drinks were on the pricier side especially with the smaller volume. The quality of the tea was good though so if that's what you value, this is a good place to go.

This location is a bit smaller than the San Marino location. Parking is also more impacted. Despite…read morethe place being busy we got our drinks at a reasonable time! Ooijcha einspanner 4/5 I think the drink tastes different compared to San Marino's location? It is not as nutty/roasted tasting. More sweet than a roasted tea flavor? Misty oolong milk tea 3/5 super light oolong tea. It's on the lighter side. I would prefer the oolong tea to be stronger! Overall, I would still come back and explore the other drinks on the menu

I felt awake after sipping. It's TASTY, fresh coffee! (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring Card or Contactless Payment.) I arrived at Grid Coffee (Diamond Bar) on Thursday (around 9:17AM). Parking is easy. The lot is spacious and big. However, this business has awful visibility; it's very easy for new guests to overlook it. But like a strongly guarded secret, this business is POPULAR. Staff is efficient and amicable. Staff is polite and knowledgeable, but Staff is also curt and very focused on crafting their coffee. My coffee took four minutes and 26 seconds. As mentioned, I ordered the Madagascar Vanilla Caffe Latte ($7 - Large - Iced). When thoroughly stirred, the coffee's true flavor blossoms. The potency becomes balanced, and the taste of vanilla & roasted coffee lithely intertwine. The aftertaste is reminiscent of a smoky caramel. There's utility and personality in this freshly brewed coffee. It's easy to understand why this spot is so popular. On ambiance, Grid Coffee (Diamond Bar) is a study/work paradise. Unlike the tiny outside, the interior is unexpectedly spacious. There's about six electrical outlets. There's also customer internet with password; details are in small text on the counter's menu. The location also has about four tables, one long wooden table, and five mini portable tables. In addition, Grid Coffee (Diamond Bar) is clean, well-maintained, and well-ventilated. There's a gender neutral restroom in the back, and the music is chill & calm. The location is filled with working college students whispering about Harvard and preparing for the future. Overall, I found unexpected joy at Grid Coffee (Diamond Bar). The coffee is affordable, good quality, and functional. The location is comfortable and calm. If searching for a wonderful study/work spot, this is a very easy recommendation. 4.8 out of 5!
