Tastea has easily become one of my favorite boba spots because of its consistency across all locations! I've tried a majority of their drinks and there hasn't been one I was dissatisfied with. My go-to drinks are usually The Unknown or Peach Me Sweetea with honey boba. Their boba has a soft consistency and it never tastes old. I also like how they change the color of their boba to match certain holidays (red for Valentines day, red and green for the Winter Holidays, etc.) Make sure to download their app for points! I like this location because parking is always super easy since it is a shared lot with 99 Ranch. There's also tables and chairs inside, so its easy to hang out with friends. I've always had a positive experience with the staff and they're really quick with the orders. Overall, one of the best boba spots with the best location! read more

I got the Classic Milk Tea with boba option, which is the most basic item in any boba store that you can get, and I was surprised how underwhelmed I was when I got my drink. The taste of the milk tea was a bit mid and lacked flavor, and the boba pearls were kinda soggy. I feel like a store that specializes in milk tea would get its most basic one correctly. I did order the fries, and they were a 3/5 for me and pretty decent. read more

11/10 boba spot i've been coming here for 3-4 years and have always loved the peach me freeze with boba! recently tried their fries, they're also good. the supervisor sebastian was so kind today at my visit! 10/10 customer service nice and clean inside, just enough for 5-7 groups and outside seating as well. read more

One of my go-to locations. Tastea has never failed me and I love the convenience of ordering my drinks in advance. It's hard to find a good boba place that meets the standards of both of my parents, so when I found the one, I can't turn my back. I'm set for life. Tastea has a variety of options ranging from coffee, tea, smoothies, etc. They can suit anyone's taste buds. My parents enjoy the Lychee Peachee and claim it to be better than their favorite drink from SunMerry. That's major props from them. I can't really say what my favorite is and really depends how I'm feeling. Some of my favorites: 1. Peachme Sweetea - It's refreshing and has real fruit, so I don't feel as guilty for all of the added sugar 2. Yummy Gummy (smoothie) - When I need a sugar high. It's super sweet, so the name doesn't lie. Truly yummy 3. Seafoam Jasmine Iced Tea - The classic that got me hooked on Tastea several years ago. Nostalgic and can't be beat 4. Strawberry Sensation - these names need no explaining 5. Ooh La La - My current favorite. I don't really like coconut but this drink is so tropical and delicious, I can't say no. I almost listed their entire menu excluding their milk teas. In addition to their awesome drinks, I love the convenience of their mobile app. I can order my drinks in advance and pick it up at the window, while also redeeming points. The hermit/introvert in me really appreciates that. read more

Not happy at all with the delivery of the fries and chicken through postmates. I was excited to eat the fries and chicken since I basically grew up going to tastea with my friends since high school. I've always gone to the Rowland heights location and not this Alhambra one but I cant imagine it would be that different. I ordered fries, chicken, and a large peachme sweet tea. The fries were sooo bad I couldn't even believe it. They came dark/burnt looking and it looked like they used old oil to fry it. Same with the chicken.. I was probably moreso disappointed because you are paying $7.50 for a few pieces of chicken but you would expect that chicken to actually be made correctly/good. I ended up calling the store and telling them about it but they seem to not be very trained in customer service because usually workers would know to apologize and offer some way to fix it rather than me asking. I suggested that they remake it and I would drive over to pick it up. I was pretty annoyed though because the whole point of ordering delivery is so that I don't have to waste time driving to the store. The fries from the store came out to be better and more fresh so I appreciated that. I guess the quality just diminishes once you leave the store even though I'm only a 5-7 min drive from this place. Either way, I probably won't come back to this location but maybe give the Rowland heights one another chance. Drinks are good though so I can't completely give this place up. I'd probably just pass on the snacks next time. read more

Love coming here but they are so slow. If you order on the app, it tells you 5 minutes, it's never ready when they say. But they are always super busy. Ordered our usual onlije and when we to pick up, they didn't have it ready. Somehow it was overlooked and not made. Had to wait another 25 minutes. Oh and just found out online ordering stops at 8:30pm but you can go in until 9pm and order in person. read more

I have always loved Tastea. Their honey boba is soft and chewy and the sweetness is on point. I went to this location last week since I'm new to the neighborhood. The service is a little slower than other OC Tastea locations but nothing too dramatic The staff isn't that welcoming but not rude anyway. I would probably do online order next time instead of walk in for a faster service (hopefully). Other than that, I have and will always love Tastea. Good quality of drinks and pretty flavorful. Try it when you can. WHAT I GOT: Watermelon Heaven with Honey Boba - this drink is so refreshing and has summer vibes written all over it. It's so flavorful and perfect for the weather. It's blended with chunks of watermelon and the honey boba added sweetness to it as well. Dare I say the honey boba and watermelon heaven were a perfect match. DO IT. Order now since this drink is available for a limited time only. read more

This review is lonnng overdue. I've been visiting Tastea ever since it opened a few years back and my most recent visit was earlier today. Backstory: Tastea will always have a soft spot in my heart ever since I discovered it in Westminster during my college days yearssss back. I'll crave it from time to time and I typically prefer their fruity tea drinks. Anyways, Tastea converted to app order and pick up early on when COVID first started to get real serious in March. I actually think this system is a lot more efficient because instead of waiting in person, ordering and waiting, you can skip the line and pre-order on your app, which also periodically provides discount codes and promotions. The store is also located conveniently on East Main Street in the 99 Ranch market plaza and I've never had issues with parking (COVID or not). I put in my order on the app: Tropical Bliss w/ Aloe - med sweet ($7.35), 2 Peach Me Sweet Tea - reg sweet ($6.25), The Unknown - reg sweet ($6.25). All 32 oz w/ less ice, which I included in the notes. I also got 2 orders of Butt Load of Fries (one mild, one med spicy), and you can choose up to 3 sauces with each order. The whole order took around 10 minutes or so to finish. The pickup system is pretty fast. They have speakers outside and they yell your name when your order is ready. Fortunately when we drove over, they had just yelled my name so my bf and I went inside the door (where they provide some hand sanitizer) and told them my name. A staff member quickly got my drinks and fries and off we went. I've always loved the Peach Me Sweet Tea and will typically always order it when I visit any Tastea. However throughout the years, the tea has gotten significantly sweeter and I always try to dilute it at home (which means more drink - yaaas). My recent favorite drink has been the Tropical Bliss - a fruitea mix of orange juice, pineapple juice, guava and jasmine green tea -medium sugar. Oh boy, this drink is so refreshing and thirst-quenching. I'll even think about the drink even after I finish it haha. If you add in some aloe bits, theres a lil something to chew on (which I'm used to from the peach me sweet tea). This drink is considered to be 'premium' and is around $0.50 more than the signature drinks because there's so many different juices. On to the food: the Butt Load of Fries were a little soggier today. They weren't as fresh and crispy as they normally would but it's probably because they were sitting in the box and we didn't air them out as we drove home. The fries were on the salty side and the medium spicy had more of a kick than usual. I typically will love the fries but today, I wasn't as impressed, but maybe next time will be better. All in all, I still love Tastea. Sure prices has gone up over the years but it's a safe go-to. Love the convenience and drinks are typically done right. Come try it and see. P.S. If you still need a referral for first time app users, feel free to use DIANALEE2127 for a free drank! :) read more

My favorite boba shop to get fruity drinks! My go to peach me sweetea and the unknown with honey boba. Btw, you can switch out the fruit bits for honey boba if you don't want like them, or switch to a different fruits as well. I usually get medium sweetness because the drinks are on the sweeter side. I also love their popcorn chicken and fries - always so crispy and delicious! They have online order through their apps if you don't want to wait in line, but there's almost never a wait though. There's seatings inside and outside, so you sit around & chat with your friends! read more

Tastea - Popcorn chicken, French fries - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alhambra, California

Customer service is amazing. About a year ago, two employees were kind, patient, and understanding. They went above and beyond to explain things and waited while I was ordering. This is still true today. Food is great. I enjoy the boba there. Ambiance is typical of a boba shop. Can be quiet on non-busy hours. read more

Glad that there is a closer tastea to me, but the drinks are not up to par with the Rowland location. My go-to drink in the summer is the watermelon heaven. However, at this location it tastes a little off. I don't taste the watermelon as much and there's not as much watermelon bits. It tasted pretty watered down :( The fries here are the same though so I would come back for that! They're also pretty stingy about the sauces. They usually only give one and it's not even filled up all the way! We always have to go back in and ask for more. read more

Tried a sample size match coffee and it was pretty good. Loved the Karate Chicken. Big portion, spicy and crispy.

Refreshing I personally feel like Tastea is very consistent with their quality of drinks. (Bay Area & So Cal) I usually get : - wintermelon tea with salted cream cheese on top : overly sweet but just ask to put less wintermelon syrup! - lychee peachee : so refreshing!! there's mini lychee bits inside of it. - matcha thai milk tea : very sweet because of the thai portion. i feel like 25% fits best. Tip : I normal get drinks at 25% sweet because it's still very sweet but never the less it's very refreshing! read more

I like it okay! Usually get the avocado drink! I don't go to Alhambra that often enough to try it. Their large size is huge. I usually get points and some discounts from their app so make sure you download one. Parking is plenty since it is in a shopping plaza. Drinks were okay enough for you to return. But it's not really special in my opinion. Staff is nice and friendly. They have a lot of online orders. read more

Tastea (Alhambra, CA) Items: 1. Large Yummy Gummy (reg sweet, reg ice) | $7.50 | 5/5 Review: - Make sure to check in on yelp to get 10% off your order . For almost $8, you can get a 32oz drink, which is definitely enough for 2 people. A great deal! - Large Yummy Gummy - Orange, raspberry, and passion fruit with peach bits - Did not have to even ask for less ice and it was not too sweet! You can also taste the chewy peach bits and drink was not watered down at all, even after an hour - Tastea is definitely more known for their fruity drinks rather than their milk tea, so make sure to get their fruity slushies or smoothies if its your first time here. Parking: Free parking. A huge lot in front of their store read more

Tastea - Large Yummy Gummy Smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alhambra, California

Yum! I've had tastea in GG and only recently tried the one in Alhambra. Customer service was wonderful (came on a Saturday afternoon so not so busy). Set up is the same as other locations. Some reviews mention how sweet the drinks are even when the sweetness is lowered. I've actually had the same experience with other locations so I'm not sure if it's just a company wide thing. For good measure I recommend 50% or lower if you don't like your drinks super sweet. I can't speak for the milk teas as I usually get the Great White. I got it 75% sweet and yes it was on the sweeter end but still good! Also added peach bits and it was awesome. Place is clean, drinks are good, service is friendly. read more

Always great service. Drinks are delicious. Best Taro Milk Tea and Thai Milk Tea I've had in a while.

Excellent service and fast. Quick stop since I went to AAA auto club. Hot day equals a cold drink. Love all the drinks. Love how it opens 10am instead of 11am like other boba locations. read more

Tastea - Outside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alhambra, California

Inside a plaza, located in between the 99 Ranch and the optometry. Plenty of parking. Inside the store is limited seating and a bit cramped. Peach Me Sweetea is the way to go. It's a strawberry and peach black tea with fruit bits. There are other fruity drink options under their Specialteas menu too but Peach Me Sweetea is probably the fan fave. On the other hand, their milk teas aren't that good and often inconsistent. Sometimes there's a dispenser at the counter for sampling a milk tea and it only tastes good in that tiny amount. Fries and popcorn chicken are decent but I like that there's an option to destroy your stomach with the spice level. But that's smart because you'd probably need to order a milk tea too. read more

Tastea - 2nd from the highest spice level of popcorn chicken. It was no longer for taste but to sweat and chug milk tea... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alhambra, California

Very efficient during these COVID times! I always enjoyed Tastea for their fruity drinks more than their milk tea drinks, just because they're a lot more refreshing and the tea is kind of weak (in terms of caffeine). So usually on hot summer days like these, I would prefer Tastea for their fruity refreshing drinks! I believe it's just online orders only. You download the Tastea app and the it's very easy to navigate. Everything runs really smoothly and it even tells you that your order is "in progress" or "completed" when it's done. My go-to drink is usually the Lychee Peachee with Light Stevia. I like how they give you the option to choose stevia since it does make the drink sweet, but it's also the healthier kind of sugar! The original boba (it's green-colored) isn't that sweet, but it balances off the sweetness of the drink itself so it was a better choice that I went with that. read more

Tastea - Tiger Milk Tea with Green Boba and at HALF SUGAR (STAY AWAY) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alhambra, California

I gave Tastea a try once a long time ago and didn't totally love my drink. I recently gave it another try because if you download the app, you'll get a free reward which is a free drink. And I mean, how can you say no to a freebie. Let me just tell you, ever since my free drink my husband and I have been hooked. We're now coming back every few days because well... their drinks are addicting! my husband go to drink is: black tea with lychee juice and logan bits light sweet what i highly recommend: *watermelon heaven with aloe (this is a seasonal drink) *coconut strawberry smoothie medium sweet they have a ton of toppings to choose from. which I really like! Ordering on the app is super easy. And you can even save one of your previous orders as a favorite which will make your next reorder super fast. Needless to say, we are fans of Tastea now and will definitely be coming back! 2 thumbs up from this Yelper! Tips: *multiple locations *covid-19 - order on the app *same plaza as 99 ranch & Arby's *They usually get pretty busy at different times so order before you head out of the door so avoid a long wait time. *They are on social media. read more

Good drinks. The only thing that I think they can improve on is closing. I arrived at 8:53 pm on a Thursday when they post that they close at 9:00 pm and their doors were already locked and wouldn't let me in. Not only that, but they like to stow their chairs and tables away well before closing time too. If they can keep their doors open and leave their chairs and tables as late as their posted closing time then they deserve five stars. read more

What a customer service! I love it. Thank you so much! read more

Surprisingly hadn't tried this place out so decided to UberEATS a few drinks to try out. The drinks were all alright. Not the best I've had, but definitely not the worst still. ITEM'S ORDERED: House Special Coffee (medium sweet) Black Vietnamese Iced Coffee Flavored Iced Tea (green tea w/ passion fruit juice, light sweetness) TASTE: House Special Coffee kind of sounded like 7 Leaves house coffee & it kind of tastes like that but not as good. The coffee flavor is too dormant & it gets overly milky the more you drink it. I could not even taste the hazelnut flavor so I wonder if it was forgotten. Not a bad flavor overall, just too unbalanced & does not come together. Black Vietnamese Iced Coffee is just as described. Nice & cold & very strong. I imagine many people would find this quite strong. It's like an overly strong dark roast Americano. Not sure if it's just on the UberEATS app or if it's the same in store, but I was unable to order just an iced green tea. The green tea with passion fruit was ok. Even though I got light sweetness I still found it pretty sweet. Green tea flavor is there but it prefer it stronger. Also I do feel if the passion fruit flavor had more tartness to it, the whole drink would come together better. SERVICE, LOCATION & PARKING: UberEATS order so no direct comments on service. I like how all the drinks had a tamper evident sticker securing the cup & lid. But I do think the drinks could have all been a bag. Also, was given all boba straws even though I didn't order any boba. Maybe they ran out of regular straws. They are located in the 99 Ranch shopping center, across from the LA Fitness. Very easy to access & lots of parking. I'm not opposed to going back for the black Viet coffee or maybe to try another tea out. read more

Been a fan of tastea for awhile, but this drink was just too disappointing. I ordered on the app for a head start and turned out I had to wait another 15 minutes because they were still working on my drink. To add on to the disappointment, there was no fruit bits... it literally tasted and looked like water and sugar. I ordered a peach me sweetea 50% sweet with boba and it did not taste like one at all. The boba was over cooked; way too soft and tasted like nothing. read more

Tastea - Peach Me Sweetea with NO fruit bits? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alhambra, California

Beautiful pictures and colorful names when you walk in. Everything sounded so good that I always have a hard time deciding. Peach and Strawberry Green Tea is what I ended up ordering. I was a bit disappointed with my drink the last time I was there. Yes, a bit too watered down even with less ice. I asked for half sugar too, and now wonder if all that sugar in my drinks back then masked the actual flavor? Or even the tap water taste? Who knows... But it's probably partially true. I have been to a boba tea place for a long time that I don't even remember what to order anymore. I do like Tastea ever since conception. But location varies. It depends on the person preparing your drink and how busy they get to give you the proper tasting drink ordered. Not to say bad things, I really don't have high expectations on boba places anymore. Just properly prepare my drinks in a decent amount of time, and "boom", I'm on my way to the next destination. Anyhow, overall this place can be a hit or a miss. Unfortunately it was a miss the last time. They have a good menu to choose from. Next time I will stay with my Iced Vietnamese Coffee, or a regular boba tea. read more

**** THIS IS A NEGATIVE REVIEW WITH 5 STARS BECAUSE APPARENTLY THEY PAY YELP TO HIDE THE ONE STAR REVIEWS*** If I could give negative stars you best believe I would. Stopped by to get my boba fix. I usually order online but today I decided to order in person. Walked in and after standing in line I was told "we're closed". First of all. LOCK YOUR DOORS!!!!! SECOND OF ALL.. update your Tako!! Because according to Yelp you close at 9pm and I still had 10 mins. So WTH!!! Ruin my day why don't you. read more

It was a really warm day & I still needed to finish up my errands and this boba tea spot was conveniently next door so I yelped it. Found out it was online order only during this Covid lockdown period, so I planned out my time and had an easy pick up. They have a pick up window to the right of the entrance doors so you don't need to go inside which is super convenient & almost contactless (with the online order). I ordered a Lychee Peachee and it was great! I loved the peach tea. It had a great strong tea flavor, peach flavor was good. The lychee pieces at the bottom were a great compliment to the drink. I ordered a Large and it took all day to finish it. Service was quick and friendly. It was a pleasant experience. It's located in the 99 Ranch / AAA plaza, with lots of parking. Recommended. read more

Tastea is fairly new here in the sgv. My sister had been to other locations before and she was thrilled this store had opened on main street in the 99 ranch (formerly ralphs and across from LA fitness) plaza. They have large 32 oz. Drinks here which adds to the novelty of things. There's a decent selection of fruit based drinks here. The peach me sweetea is one of my usual go to orders. I've also ordered the bootea shaker which isn't bad as well. And today I got the unknown. So far all the drinks have been good, it mostly depends on what you prefer for the fruit flavors and what kind of toppings you want. I haven't tried any of the milk tea drinks yet. The food is surprisingly good here as well. I've gotten their fries as well as their chicken. I usually go for the highest spiciness level or the one right below it but even the milder portions are seasoned well so there's a lot of flavor. Tons of parking in the lot here. Usually it's not too bad to find a spot but on occasion it can be pretty bad with all the other businesses operating in the plaza. read more

What attracted me to this boba store was the menu options! They have some pretty interesting flavors like matcha thai milk tea, ube milk tea, and winter melon milk tea. I got the taro milk tea with crystal boba and it was pretty good. Recommend adjusting the sweetness as they are pretty sweet! I got less sweet and it was still a little too sweet. Would come back here if I'm craving some fun boba milk tea flavors! read more

If you like fruit tea drinks. You need to try this place They have a list of 10 most popular drinks. So if you don't know what to get. Just choose one of those. My favorite is the Lychee Peachee. Bits of lychee and peaches are at the bottom of the drink. Makes it taste extra good. I had it a couple of times during the soft openings but it didn't taste as good as the one in Rowland Heights. But after a couple of months, the staff have seemed to figure it out and now the drinks are bomb. Other good drinks are the Matcha Thai Tea. Sounds interesting and taste even better.

So glad that this location opened up. Now I don't need to drive all the way to Rowland for Tastea refreshments! It's located at the Alhambra Courtyard between 99 Ranch and AAA, so there is plenty of parking. I got the Yummy Gummy, a blended combination of orange, raspberry, and passion fruit with peach bits. The best way I can explain what this drink taste like is comparing it the Trident Tropical Twist flavor without all the artificial elements and alcohol sugar. The employees were very helpful. I downloaded the app and signed up for an account so I got a free sign up bonus 20 oz drink that I was trying to redeem. Thought that I was only able to redeem the drink in person, which is a problem because you can only order online right now. However, the employee that was helping me explained that to redeem the drink, you just need to do the usual checkout procedure and click the redeem button right before you add your preferred payment option. Hopefully this is helpful since I was a bit confused. Tl;dr: Yummy Gummy taste like tridents tropical twist. Download and sign up for the app to get a free 20 oz drink. Employees are helpful. read more
