    Hibiscus Tea 洛神花茶
    Luz C.

    I ordered a hibiscus tea with wintermelon flavor, no sugar and boba. Initially the drink was pretty good and tasted perfectly sweetened. Towards the end of my drink, it tasted artificial and like plastic. It was gross. If I return, I'm going to try something different.

    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

    Rose Milk Tea 玫瑰(奶綠/ 奶茶)
    MsKoala M.

    What a great surprise to stumble upon a Tea Station Express! As a devoted Tea Station fan, I'm curious about the relationship between the two, but all I know is that the Rose Milk Tea I had today was fantastic--strong tea flavor, generous size, and totally satisfying. (If only parking were easier and they had one in Arcadia--a girl can dream!) Will definitely be back.

    Milk Tea (Jasmine/Black/Oolong)奶綠/奶茶/烏奶茶 and golden pineapple green tea
    Maleerat P.

    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

    Welcome to TSE.

    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.

    Oolong Tea with boba No ice, 25% sugar It didn't taste very good to me. The oolong tea flavor wasn't strong enough, and the 25% sugar level wasn't sweet enough to balance it out. Next time, I will definitely try it with 50% sugar level to get a better flavor. The male staff member here is incredibly nice and patient. He took his time to explain the current promotions to us, which we really appreciated.

    Jasmine green milk tea with less boba
    Hollie W.

    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!!

    I had a disappointing experience, which led me to write a review, but the store manager reached out to me and was very professional and kind in addressing my concerns. Thank you, Kelvin, for ensuring customer satisfaction. The staff were friendly and helpful. I really appreciate it when businesses take customer feedback seriously and make an effort to make things right. Thank you again for your excellent customer service.

    Tea for sale and self order
    Yun Ping C.

    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!

    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.

    Lavender black tea boba and ROSE GREEN TEA BOBA.
    Lucy W.

    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

    My receipts of being a long time customer
    Anna L.

    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.

    Strawberry matcha green milk tea
    Zinnia V.

    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.

Kinda makes me think, "Is this where all the cool kids go?" said by: definitely not a cool kid me. My gal friend and I always want dessert and believe life is always better with sweets. It was around 9 pm already, and of course, we wanted something sweet to end our day. The plaza on Duarte Rd is pretty dark, but 626 Ice Cream was the bright corner filled with tons of people in line, even at 9 pm. They have their posted in a few spots in the line so customers can check out the flavors. My friend was happy there is something non-dairy for her, which was the Mango Sago flavor. They seem to change up their ice cream flavors every now and then I noticed, which is so fun! It was our first time here, and the man who helped us was very sweet in letting me try all the 6 flavors and pick my favorite. I ended up with their Cereal Ice Cream flavor which tasted like a childhood milk & cereal breakfast, the sweet milk you drink after you finished your cereal. I thought "wow!" This was totally it and I fell in love with it. I also want to mention their Yakult flavor was amazing as well; it's the perfect tartness I love in Yakult drinks and had just a teeny bit of sweetness to it. It's great for those friends you may have in your life who just want a little bit of sweetness. Their toppings are so fun, and I would just go back for their toppings to be honest. I asked the team member to choose my toppings for me, you get 3 toppings if you get the mini cup size. So I got red bean, cacao nibs, and mochi. I would come back to eat this combination over and over again. My friend got a Mango Sago flavor, it's non-dairy, with Mochi and Fruit. She loved it as well and I got to try some of it - it packs a punch in mango flavor and is soooo good with their mochi! There is cozy seating inside, or you can totally be a cool kid and pick up one of those stools outside and sit in the parking lot. So nostaligic almost like a backyard party. Thank you 626 Ice Cream for existing and being in the neighborhood! I'll definitely come support more often!

I was hoping to have my own AE86 built and ready when I finally stopped by, but maybe for the new location. As an honest critique of the actual storefront, the appearance and decor is very charming. In a very bright, Japanese themed cafe kind of way. But because this is an Initial D themed drink and snack spot, I can see this being a place where mostly guys use this place as a meet-up hub. Especially for a small car meet. Very niche right? Especially for the dying breed of 1980's 1990's - 2000's JDM cars. That said, how many guys in the city could you actually get to come here regularly for soy and soy-based accessories, drinks, and snacks? The dessert was okay, and I wasn't in love with the drinks. Light, tofu refreshing, but not captivating. Personally, the menu doesn't appeal to me, since I try to avoid soy since it tends to be a pro-estrogen consumable. I don't think they had to box themselves in into being a purely tofu-only cafe. They could sell tofu products, and also have something simple but repeatedly addictive; like In-n-Out, Wurstkuche, Howling Ray's, Tea Master Matcha Cafe, Savoy, Langer's, etc. The closest idea I can think of that would be forced into tofu would be like really excellent, authentic mabo tofu, agedashi tofu, or like a karaage or Tokyo fried chicken style fried chicken with a mabo tofu dipping sauce, heavy on the ma-la flavors. Hell, I might even stop by more if they imported more car parts, from like Impulse, TRD, or Apex'i. But the way the AE86 market is, it makes more sense to sell online to the global niche. Wonderful atmosphere and mood for the Initial D/MF Ghost/Subaru to Subaru fandom. It was fun just to follow on instagram and catch a glimpse of all the influencer personalities in the car community stopping by. I'll look forward to what their next Project T(ofu) looks like. See you next time, Space (cow) boy. Oh-oh-oh. I need you babe.

It had been sitting there for a while or was made earlier as it was hard and difficult to bite. The red bean inside I also assumed was a paste like how they make the Japanese version, however there were whole pieces in there. It was okay, but I thought they'd be like paste. Overall, the only thing that was good was the ube swirl and the pineapple dole whip. It was also extremely warm in the shop, like no AC in the triple digits summer heat. Had to eat it elsewhere.

Parking is a bit annoying in this area, so you'll likely need to take a little walk to get to the alley that Kinrose is on. However, when you do enter, you're welcomed with roses, Pac Man, and unique, sweet treats! We sampled most of the menu and found our favourite flavours to be Sheer Moz Brulee and Sour Cherry & Fairy Floss. The Sheer Moz is a perfectly-balanced banana and comes with banana chips. Delicious! Yet, the more we ate the Sour Cherry & Fairy Floss, the more we loved that one. You'll find little crunchy surprises within the ice cream or the fairy floss (not entirely sure), but it all melts smoothly in your mouth. Based on these two flavours alone would we highly rate Kinrose Creamery. The other flavours can be hit or miss based on your preferences. If you're looking for quality ice cream with unique flavours, then come to Kinrose Creamery! Prices are fair, staff is friendly and efficient, and there are a number of seats within. Additionally, you can play some arcade Pac Man!
