Tea Station Express has been one of my go-to spots when I want something quick and consistent. It's the kind of place I stop by when I'm in a rush but still want a reliable drink and snack. The popcorn chicken is always a solid choice. It usually comes out hot with a good portion, which makes it a great quick bite to go with a drink. Their teas have also been very consistent over the years. My personal favorite is the milk green tea, which always hits the spot. The staff can come across a little dry at first, but they're actually nice and friendly once you interact with them. Service is usually quick, which is another reason it works well when you're on a tight schedule. Overall it's a dependable tea spot in Temple City. If you're looking for a quick drink and a snack like popcorn chicken, Tea Station Express is definitely worth stopping by. read more

I took my gf to KBBQ (Baekjeong) for the first time and saw that this was right next door. I actually almost walked in here thinking it was the entrance to Baekjeong so I decided that we go here after our meal. When we arrived, the guy working was already working on a few large orders so we used the kiosk. We both ordered from their value menu which had price tags of $3, $4, and $5. I got their Grape Four Season Breeze Tea and the gf got their Earl Grey Breeze Tea. Their Breeze Teas are just less caffeinated drinks which was perfect for us. For a $3 small size, it wasn't bad actually as it was very refreshing. Service was nonexistent. There was a customer picking up an order and the guy was very dismissive and couldn't provide any answers for the customer picking up. There was an older woman working in the back but both of them seemed like they hated their jobs. Why am I giving them 3 stars instead of something lower? When it comes to most smaller Asian owned establishments, bad service is a regular thing. The drinks were great for $3 but nothing to rave about in particular. If you want a quick pick-me-up at a very cheap price but don't mind lackluster service, this is your place. If you're looking for a good boba tea spot with decent service, do yourself a favor and skip this spot. read more

With the emergence of newer boba shops, it's nice to come back to Tea Station for that old school boba milk tea taste. Drinks are priced around $6 but you get a large cup so I found it to be a great deal. The taste of the drinks are good and consistent, and boba is soft and chewy. Be warned that there is a lot of caffeine in one drink. Parking is a hassle since its inside the busy teapot plaza. Theres some 15 minute pick up parking spots. read more

Their large is extra large. It makes drinks from other places look smaller. Brown sugar milk tea with jelly and boba. If this was in a normal cup, the topping would reach the top and youd have 0 drink. I like that they have cheaper menu items. The popcorn chicken and tofu was crispy and a little salty. I also think they prefer if you ordered from the tablet so they can just make drinks, otherwise it might be a wait to have someone help out read more

I've been a fan of Tea Station, one of the first Boba shops in LA, for over 10 years. They have good tea. All locations have the same taste up to their standard. What differences are employees, the cleanliness, the size of the space and the service. This location is small and there are not many seats. Sometimes tables were a bit messy towards the end of the day. I would stop by after having dinner in this mall. Employees are extra friendly . Last time I got to try Golden Pineapple Green Tea . It wasn't overly sweet! And of course their milk tea is always good Sure I will be back read more

A Sunday English tea is in order. Let's begin this tea adventure. Tea Station Express (est 1996) is a small tea shop perfect for a quick and convenient grab-and-go experience with a wide variety of bubble teas, milk teas, custom hot teas and snacks. They have different location throughout LA. I came on a very cloudy, cold Sunday to grab a hot lemon green tea x böba pearl. It was perfect to my liking. Quality was excellent. Service was spot on. Staff were lovely. Prices were economical. Ample of parking in the lot and side streets. Overall, it's a nice little tea shop for customers who want a quick to go boba drink. I recommend TSE. read more

Tea station is such a nostalgic boba shop for me! They're one of the OGs that use quality tea for their drinks. I recently saw that they have a $3, $4, and $5 menu which drew me in because boba prices are crazy these days! I got my tried and true jasmine green milk tea with less boba and less sweet. It truly hit the nostalgic memories, and I'll definitely be back since it's a steal at $4!! read more

Tea Station Express - Jasmine green milk tea with less boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Temple City, California

They have a $4 menu for some of their drinks! It's just a smaller size but the same great taste. I always get a large but my friend who can't have too much caffeine at night wanted a smaller size and they had it. Also got their popcorn chicken and that's always a favorite at the house. Love that there's a 15 min to-go parking area cuz this plaza is too busy with these crazy drivers trying to take your parking spot. There's parking downstairs but who wants to go all the way down there when you're picking up a drink. The staff inside was very friendly and explained how their $4 menu worked. She showed me the different cup sizes and told me the price difference as well. The shop is small as it is an express but they have 2 to 3 tables with chairs. read more

Tea station Express is a classic spot I love to go to for some boba milk tea. I typically get the green milk tea or black milk tea with mini boba. Their tea has always been solid and they're one of my favorite spots to go to. I used to get their boba, but I think I like their mini boba here more than regular boba. Service was quick and efficient. We ordered at the self order station, but there is a cashier who can take your order too. Ambiance was pretty quiet for a Friday evening, but I believe they get a lot of to go orders. I have been when it's busier and sometimes people will take a seat and chat. There are a few tables inside and outside. It's a quiet place to relax for a bit for sure. Overall, one of my favorite tea spots in the SGV still! read more

My favorite place for jasmine milk tea! This is the last Tea Station in the SGV. It's a small shop with 4-5 tables in Camellia Square (teapot plaza). They have affordable prices, good quality tea, snacks & quick service. The small jasmine tea with boba is only $4, the regular size $5.75. The boba is soft & chewy, my daughter enjoyed her brown sugar milk with boba. It's worth a stop if you're close by! Lots of great restaurants in the plaza. read more

I tried the green milk tea + boba, 75% sweet from the $ menu, so it was a size small. The boba was great, sweet and chewy. Tea was a little weak but still tasted good. My friend got the same drink and asked for an extra tea shot (it was on an ad by the counter), but apparently they don't do it for the $ menu drinks. Totally understandable but would be nice if that was included on the ad. We also tried the popcorn chicken, which was delicious. It had a great spice to it and was super crispy, plus the portion size was easily big enough for 2. read more

I like the rose green tea ! With boba :) There's teas to go here, and a plethora of options including snacks like fries and chicken too. Good service , quick to go vibe , some seating. They have TO GO TEAS you can pay for in the fridge too. This area is cool, lots of food places near by, and parking. The lavender black tea was 7/10 for me But rose green tea is 8/10 read more

The server was very nice, I saw a drink on Yelp I didn't see on the menu and she was more than welcomed to make me the drink! I got a strawberry matcha green milk tea, it had a good balance of gmt flavor with strawberry and just a hint of matcha. Would order it again. read more

This Tea Station is different from the rest. They brew their teas better and overall taste is better. I'll make the 45 minute trip here just for their tea. Staff is friendly and answered all my questions . Will definitely be back soon! read more

If you're someone who loves Oreos, this drink is a must-try. The cookie flavor is not overpowering, but it adds just the right amount of crunch and sweetness to balance the creaminess of the taro and ube. It's a perfect option for a special treat on a hot day or when you're craving something both nostalgic and new. Overall, this Oreo, taro, and ube drink is a delightful fusion of flavors that will appeal to fans of both classic and exotic tastes. It's a fun, indulgent drink that's well worth the $7.25 price, Also my friend try the green milk tea , that's good as well read more

Yes, tea station is the OG GOAT! Honestly it's been My favorite tea spots in the 626 area! I've been a huge fan growing up with milk tea and boba drinks, probably all my life ( 20+ years now). We used to go to the one in Rosemead off value blvd but it closed down and there aren't many locations left sadly. This location on temple city is my saving grace whenever I visit family back home. Not only is the tea so freshly brewed, but the flavor is so good and nostalgic. I love the classic black milk tea with and without toppings. Second choice is their green milk tea, so yummy! Customer service is great and staff are quick with your drinks. Highly recommend! read more

I stopped in here after lunch because I had a 2-hour drive ahead of me and needed a pick-me-up. The shop was very clean, and the menu had so many different tea options--almost too many to choose from! I noticed they also served coffee, so I decided to try that, ube taro iced coffee. Honestly, I didn't have super high expectations, but it surprised me in the best way. They were packed with flavor yet really smooth and easy to drink. Definitely a great spot to grab something refreshing, whether you're a tea person or a coffee person read more

I had their tea 20 years ago, and I didn't expect Tea Station, under Ten Ren's Tea, to still be around? But the tea doesn't taste like it used to... The Orange + Grapefruit Yakult drink was too sweet, even though I chose a 50% sugar level. Also, the boba and rainbow mochi were all clumped together, like a bunch of grapes, making it difficult to use the straw. I had to open the lid and eat it with a spoon, which was very inconvenient. 20年前喝過，沒想到這家天仁茗茶旗下的輕鬆小站還在？但茶湯味道不如從前... 香橙鮮柚多多太甜，即便只是半糖。 此外，珍珠和麻薯像一串葡萄般黏住，吸管無法抽出，只能撕開杯頂封膜，用湯匙取出食用很不方便... read more

Tea station is always consistent and you cannot beat the quality in the tea that they serve. I typically get green/black milk tea or plum green team. It's a nice treat on a hot day. They are one of the only few places left that have plum green team. I am sad about the other 2 Tea Stations closing. I really hope this one will stick it out. Their large size is quite big and can split by 2 people or saved for another day. Parking could be difficult in this plaza due to the other popular eateries. But it's worth it! read more

Quality/Quantity - My daughter wanted a boba drink before hitting the brewery Ogopogo. Earl Grey Milk Tea with Boba - She rated her drink 4 stars. Atmosphere - Cool spot. Convenient for us as we just had dinner at Summer Rolls on the other side of the mall. Service - Self service kiosk. But we met some new friends here from Canada. They were in "costumes" and just left Disneyland. My daughter was there yesterday. Hung out with them, joking, laughing, until our drinks were ready. In hindsight, I guess we should have invited them to the brewery...? Anyways, safe travels if you are reading this. Price - $2, because she used her credits. This was the least I have ever spent on her! Thanks. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016. read more

Tea Station Express is meant to be a quick no frills experience. You pick your tea base and up to 2 flavors, sweetness and ice level. How back can it be when I am picking things I like?? I went with a regular black tea, peach and lychee, half sweet, regular ice. I went with aloe vera for my topping of choice ($6.25). This is a pretty basic combination and somehowwwwww they made it soooo awful. So awful that I just took 2 sips before I threw it away. How was it so SWEET at half sweet? I think their artificial syrups must be the issue. I'm not interested in coming back to test out my theory. read more

One of the OG in boba game. Nowadays all bobas are lower their size but this place offers a huge portion! Their drinks are very tasty with strong tea base!

The plaza offers good parking too! read more

It's been years since I visited a Tea Station Express. It was a hot hot summer day and I was around the teapot plaza. I ordered the berry passionfruit which I never tried before with less sugar and less ice and it was exactly what I needed. The size was huge and much bigger than any other tea places I've been. read more

Haven't been to Tea Station in a minute, but decided to go 1 night because they have the $4 $5 mini boba promotion (we saw from restaurant next door). The mini drink is not small. I was expecting smaller, but it's decent size. Maybe Medium. Taste alright. Creamy and rich from the sea salt cream. I suggest lowering the sugar% though, it can be pretty sweet (I got 75). Good price, solid drink. Sad, $5 used to be large drink. Nowadays it's considered cheap with the inflation and bougie boba shops coming into the area. Tea Station is old school so I'm glad they keep price affordable. read more

Up until recently, I have not visited any Tea Station locations since college (6+ yrs ago) Their green milk tea with pudding is dangerously addicting! Not too sweet with the right amount of sweetness. My boyfriend and I share the large size because it's actually worth the money ($7) and it's bigger than my head read more

Tea station drinks are very good and refreshing for hot days! I have always enjoyed them. I ordered a mixed fruit tea and peach green tea. A female worker was there. She didn't greet me or asked what I would like to order. She seem very annoyed after I placed my order. I asked for my receipt she rudely walked back and snatched it out of the printer and tossed the receipt back to me. It's safe to safe I won't be coming back to this location due to bad customer service. Sad to see a good tea franchise gets brought down by hiring rude, Chinese workers with no customer service skills. read more

I usually go to the tea station located in the Arcadia/ Temple City area so I expected this Tea Station to be as good but was disappointed :-( I like my tea more tea flavored than milky and I felt like this specific location was super milky and sweet. I asked for less sweetener but it was still too sweet. My sister ordered the taro milk tea and she liked it :-) A plus was they gave complimentary mini boba since there was a promotion going on -- but this place is honestly just okay. We came here after we had dinner at Baekjong and parking at this plaza is a bit hard to find. I'd say if you are just coming here for Tea Station, it isn't so worth it. read more

Joanna is always so happy when I come by and get a drink. Every drink is always a hit and they Have perfectly cooked boba with the best chew. I love coming here because I 99% know that I would not be disappointed. Perfect milk to tea ratio, they're quick, and nice. They have a 4 dollar menu for a smaller cup with select drinks but if you want other drinks not on that menu, you get two toppings included in the price. You can mix and match toppings as well. read more

I've been a customer of Tea Station for over a decade at their previous locations on Valley and the other one on Las Tunas. Since COVID, their service has decreased tremendously. I always choose 100% sugar and its very hit or miss, not consistent. Usually it ends up tasting like no sugar. My most recent visit, I did my usual order of one regular hot Rose Milk Tea and one large hot rose milk tea. When going to pick up, I noticed both cups were the same size, when I had paid extra for a large. I inquired with the staff, and they told me that they don't do large for hot drinks. I have been coming to your establishment for so long, what kind of lie is this? No offer to refund or anything either. I had just gotten off work and it was pouring out so I decided not to push the issue with them, I'd just come home and leave a review. read more

They have $4 boba!! they also have plastic straws. I stopped going to Tea Station on las tunas and temple city blvd because they started using paper straws which were terrible. But while walking around teapot plaza. I saw on this tea station express monitor that they had some $4 boba specials so went back to check it out. Pleasantly surprised, and I like the mini bobas don't fill you up as much. Thank you for the great deal. Awesome service, you can actually order speaking with someone or if you want to be anti social then there's a kiosk that you can use to enter your order. They also use toast app. Store is still new and clean. read more
