    Milk tea with boba
    Sydni K.

    I got the regular milk tea with boba 50% sweet, and this hit the spot! I liked how the milk and sugar wasn't overpowering the tea flavor, and the boba was the perfect chewy texture. They only have one size for their drinks, which was equivalent to a large at most other boba shops I've been. Parking in the area is a little challenging, as it's mainly street parking. We were lucky enough to get a stall right in front of the store. We placed an online order and hopped out of the car to pick it up.

    Sunright after dinner always HITS! No matter what location I go to, I can also trust that my drink will taste the same. The self-order kiosks make it very convenient to order. The drinks came out in less than 10 minutes. Mango Milk Tea w/ Agar Boba, 5/5: After the topping, the total came down to $6.75. 50% sweetness was perfect and the mango flavor was so delicious. No other boba place has a drink like this, so I'm always coming back here!

    This place is almost never busy. You can go right in and out. The inside is very spacious, there are benches inside but not really great for hanging around. The service is usually pretty quick and the drinks are always made well. My family and I like to stop by here after having lunch in Pasadena! 10/10 would recommend this location

    Been here a few times whenever I'm in the Pasadena area and this place never disappoints. I've had multiple things and their options are so good, the boba bouncy not hard, and you can adjust sweetness as needed. You order on a screen so you really don't have much interaction with staff. Not a place to sit and hang around but doesn't bother me as it's right in the middle of Colorado street so taking it to walk around is very enjoyable

    I normally get a matcha whenever I get boba, but this place had a popular Oreo Brûlée so I tried it. It's very good. Service is quick, and you order at a kiosk.

    Easy to order and wide selection of tea, boba, smoothies. Everyone will have something to choose from.

    Sunright is a MUST after dinner. Especially after we eat something hot or it's a hot day.

    I've been able to enjoy coming here a few times when visiting Old Town Pasadena. It's funny how it integrates so well at times you can easily slip by. But similar to a wizard's tent in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the insides are much bigger than the exterior showcases. Inside, the height of the ceilings give an openness to the space. Indeed, no tables or chairs are inside. Instead, a long bench runs from one end of the wall to the counter. Across it are the touchscreens utilized for ordering your drinks. As the menu isn't massive in selections it means you can enjoy the pretty pictures and possible fruity drinks associated with them. In fact, the whole color scheme of this place falls in line with the sun: yellows and oranges. The drinks also run the gamut of sweetness. When ordering a drink it gives you the option of how sweet you want it to be. If you like very sweet drinks keep it at 100%. If you like yours somewhat sweet, the 50%-75% is probably best. If you like it sweet, but not too sweet than 25% is your jam. I'm a big fan of mango and they use a sweet puree style for their slushes and though their mango jasmine tea might not have mango bits, at 100% you are tasting the sweetest mango there ever was slapping you across the mouth with intensity. There are several different places to grab drinks and walk around Colorado Blvd in Old Town but I think few are quite as easy and affordable than Sunright Tea Studio. So grab yourself a sweet tea, fall into the California sunset, and enjoy your stroll through Old Town.

    What's up: We were at the Apple Store nearby and wanted to grab some boba. We were walking and saw that Sunright was nearby and decided to go there. Parking: We parked at the De Lacey parking structure. It's $1 for the first 2 hours but they also have free EV charging if you are able to grab a spot. Environment: The place was bright and well lit. You can place your order at the self serve kiosks located on the right wall; the menu is displayed overhead. When ready, pick up your drinks at the main counter; they will call your name. There's also a small corner area for merch. Along the left wall, there's a sitting area. What was ordered: - Matcha Oolong Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Boba (extremely watered down. The only taste was from the boba) Yay/Nay/Meh: Meh. I was disappointed. The drink didn't have much flavor and the only saving grace was the boba. My brother got a coffee and his tasted great. I think I was just unlucky. Credit cards and Apple Pay accepted.

    We make a trip to old town Pasadena to grab drinks from Sunright Tea and Food from Mama Lu's Dumpling House. Parking is a pain there, but once you get parking figured out then it is easy. We walk along Colorado street and follow the shop. The place was filled with people waiting for drinks. Thank goodness for online orders, we placed ours. The shop was clean and welcoming, but not one staff member to be seen. OMG, I did not see the sign ring for service. HAHAHA! I dinged and then someone came out from the back. I told them my order and pow he was back with it. Their signature fruit tea is made with four seasons tea, freshly squeezed orange juice, passionfruit and served with lemon & orange slices was so so good.

    Is it a good place to study?

    No indoor seating to casually study from. I would say its a great place to grab a quick drink and head over to a local library or park nearby! Hope this helps.

    Are you guys on any delivery apps?

    Hi John, yes we are currently on Uber Eats and will soon be on DoorDash. We also do not mark up prices for delivery, they are the same as in store. You can also order online for quick in-store pickup at the link below. Thanks!… Read more

    Can we bring our own tumblers/cups?

    Unfortunately due to Covid we are not able to accept outside cups or containers at this time, thank you for your understanding.

Aesthetics in the shop is pretty nice, very modern and bright, perfect spot to do work. Parking - Shared with Afters Ice Cream right across, very small parking lot, 4 spots only. Street parking is available but the street itself is a one way street. My wife and I both shared the Onyx Hojicha MT and the Oreo Uji Matcha, both were very refreshing as the day was pretty warm. The drinks came out pretty fast as well so props to the staff for preparing them quickly. The matcha is not very overwhelming which is always a good sign to see when you purchase matcha drinks. Oreo mixed with matcha is always a solid choice for me so I recommend this drink when you visit. Overall, a very simple but high quality shop, it's a bit on the expensive side when it comes to tea shops but it's definitely worth checking them out as their drinks are on the higher quality side.

    Came here for the souffle pancakes and they didn't disappoint!…read more My party of 3 stopped by Saturday afternoon 2:30 pm and it wasn't crowded. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose outdoor since it was such a nice day out. They have all of their desserts on display in the case, so you can peruse the options and see what looks good. So many of the desserts looked good, like the matcha yuzu chiffon crepe cake or the rose and lychee crepe cake. We ordered via the kiosk and got the mango sunshine souffle pancake ($16.50) and well as a couple drinks. My drink was the white peach lemon jasmine bliss ($6.25), with 50% sweetness and less ice. Even though there are signs everywhere saying that it takes 15-20 minutes for the souffle pancakes to be cooked, ours came out super quickly, in 5 minutes or so. We got it with the sauce on the side, but I regret doing that as I saw others getting it with the sauce on top and it was beautiful. The pancake was super fluffy and a bit eggy as well. We all really enjoyed it with the mango sauce. I made the mistake of eating the pancake first before trying a sip of my tea. The pancake was pretty sweet, so I could barely taste my drink, but I think it was good? I could taste a bit of the lemon but definitely not the white peach, which is a lighter flavor. I got a slice of their Hokkaido cheese cake roll for $7 to go and had it the next day. It was okay but definitely a bit pricy for what you get. I'd love to come back to try their other desserts and pancakes!

Service has been fine; you can order from a touch screen or at the end of the counter. Unfortunately, the quality has been hit or miss lately. We have enjoyed the lavender latte and pistachio toddy latte, as well as the burrito. However, a few recent misses include: - Pistachio croissant with an overpowering alcohol flavor, like someone used too much pistachio extract instead of real pistachios. - The matcha banana latte tasted very watery and bitter, and didn't seem to make the most of either flavor. It somehow added up to less than the sum of its parts, which was a bummer for $9.50. - Not exactly a miss, but the person behind the counter cautioned me that the coffee cake I tried to order was too stale. I appreciated that . . . but why are stale pastries even on display? We have also had several false starts attempting to order things on the menu that they are all sold out of. This isn't the end of the world, but when it happens multiple times, it starts to feel like the signage is more for decor than information about what's truly available. I also had a strange experience trying to use the restroom. I could barely reach it behind all of the storage, and even when I did get inside, I could not for the life of me find the light switch and had to use my phone's flashlight to see. This was a while ago, so maybe this part is better now, but it contributed to the overall feeling that things are not quite on track. I hope that they can resolve whatever issues are happening behind the scenes, because this is exactly the kind of place we want to support, and I still think it has a lot of potential!

Walking in the decor and menu generally the same. The kiosk was not working so had to place order upfront and it looked like only one girl was staffed there and she gave off the vibe that she did not want to be there. The mazapan drink was still up on the menu but the employee said they no longer make that, no explanation why it was still up there. Then seemed really impatient cuz I had to think about what to get instead. Ended up ordering a taro milk tea size 16 oz which took almost 10 minutes to make which I thought was way too long considering no one else was there. When I finally got it, it looked like a kids size there's no way that was 16 oz and tasted completely mediocre. Also cost $7 before tip which I regret giving an extra $1 too. Yikes with all the other boba and coffee shops in Pasadena they cannot afford to offer such low quality and poor service. Will not be back again.
