Delicious and very reasonably priced Yunnan rice noodles! So flavorful and there's a self-serve station to add additional toppings (cilantro, green onions, basil). Food was prepared quickly (within ~5 minutes of ordering) and staff was friendly.
Stopped by Teamorrow after reading the good reviews and got very disappointed with our order of the Taro milk tea and Hokkaido milk tea. The taro milk tea tastes artificial in a weird way. The Hokkaido milk tea is basically iced milk. I can barely tastes any tea. They are pricey for the quality. $13 for two small boba. The ac was so weak and it's stuffy inside. I wouldn't want to spend time here. Won't come again.
Food: Taro Taiwanese Shaved Ice was really good. The shaved milk ice was fluffy and creamy and melted with no crunch. It was not overly sweet and the taro flavor was subtle. There were two sizes. Small is good for 1-2 people, and we were told that large serves 3-4. The popcorn chicken and crispy tofu were both good, as advertised, and actually crispy. They were served with cayenne and soy sauce on the side. Food came out surprisingly fast. Drinks took a bit longer. Drinks: Tried the Matcha Bandera with mango instead of strawberry. I also subbed oat milk instead of regular milk. I thought the flavors worked well together. Also had the Berry Hokkaido which turned out to be Hokkaido milk tea with strawberry puree. Based on the picture on their website I was expecting it to be like a smoothie, but it was just milk tea. It was fine but not very standout.
Pleasantly surprised with this cute little tea shop and restaurant. They have a nice selection of food, snacks, and drinks. Super chill environment where people can come and chat over some boba or dine in for dinner. The food is authentically Chinese from Yunnan province. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend checking this place out for a quick bite or some refreshing drinks.
The passionfruit green tea is refreshing - I recommend 100% sweetness, as it's not overpowering and gives the drink a nice balance. Service is decent. The ambiance is open and airy, with plenty of seating. I especially like the bar seating by the window--it's nice if you're looking to relax and people-watch.
I am a certified matcha lover and even more thanks to this place!! It did take awhile to make because I see they hand crafted it with love. The strawberry purée is FRESH and REAL fruit being used not the premade stuff. They make this cup to perfection with no clumps and perfect matcha strawberry ratio. Bonus point for the tiny diney on the cup. It's next to the cutest thrift store. I will drive back to Pasadena for this place.
Good boba but not good service We purchased 2 matcha strawberry bobas and asked to use the bathroom but the gentleman behind the counter said no and locked it. We asked why & he said they were closing. But they were not closing because there were still lots of people in the store & they were still waiting for their food to come outas a matter of fact, there were people who came after us & ordered food. After I begged, he finally allowed one of us to use the bathroom. The matchas were tasty & the cup they came in was cute
It's located near the intersection by the train crossing. It's a bit difficult to find parking. We found parking on the side street with only a couple mins walk. It wasn't too far. They have kiosks for self-ordering. The drinks and food took awhile to come out. Our order was for to-go. Almond milk tea tasted better than most places out there. The popcorn chicken was a bit too soggy for me.
Parking is plentiful around the block of TeaMorrow, limited to two hours. They have options to order at the self-service kiosk or directly at the cashier. On a Saturday afternoon, they have regular traffic thought not a line-out-the-door kind of atmosphere - thankfully. Members of the general community frequent TeaMorrow as part of the general strip of small businesses, and many study or work on projects here - or even a quite bite. (And yes, there's Wi-Fi!) One thing to note is that the self-service kiosk does not have Oolong Milk Tea but it does have Peach Oolong Milk Tea (??) - weird! But ordering at the front cleared up this issue; I ordered this with boba for a friend and grabbed myself a 25% (mod) sweet Almond Milk Tea. Almond is one of those "difficult to get right" drinks in my opinion, but TeaMorrow exceeded expectations, especially with the customized sugar. It was on the "tad too sweet end," but better than expected. Wait time was approximately 15 minutes, though, despite the rather empty line - perhaps a shift change.
Local South Pasadenan here. Food used to be good. Found out today the hard way. Beef noodle soup bland no flavor. Their staple popcorn chicken went down the tube. No basil no flavor. $24 for lunch not coming back. Used to be family owned by Tiger (Shawn) now bought over by some bogus business group about a year ago that changed the recipes to probably save a buck. Let's get better food here and boycott in South Pas and support a new local small businesses. Do not recommend.
the noodles here are fantastic! they have an authentic broth and a variety of noodle choices. they also offer many different milk, fruit, and classic teas. my food came fast and was even served by one of the baristas! the store is clean and gives me a cozy vibe with all the decorations! 10/10 i would definitely come here again.
Drinks are decent, singling out their peach oolong tea, but a lot of misses when it comes to their toppings. I had their seasonal mango mayhem, and it had a combination of soft mango chunks that tasted like they came from a can, and also rock solid chunks that were not yet ripe. It was as if they were more fillers to take up more space in order to minimize the amount of liquid because they were not consumable. The sago was also a weird combination where some were really cooked and the others were really hard. The regular boba is too soft. Overall, I'd say quality of drinks and boba are comparable to Prolecé Tea in Old Town Pasadena, though I'd probably see myself going to Prolecé over TeaMorrow since it's open later.

TeaMorrow is a really solid boba spot! They have pretty unique signature drinks and other great selections! I recommend the premium oolong tea with cheese foam! read more

If you love cheese foam, this is the right place to go. Matcha Cheese foam latte is amazing! The cheese foam is much thicker and creamier compared to other places I've been to around 626. T got the oolong milk tea. Since he's not able to enjoy milk, he substitute it with almond milk(you could also do soy.) The oolong almond milk tea was fantastic. Strong oolong flavor, well balanced with the creaminess of the almond milk. The interior is very cute and clean, well designed for hangout and study. They have great selection of snacks and Taiwanese entrees and there's self serve water if you need some. Tiger and Sean are both super friendly, always smiles and laughters when they are around. Definitely a great place to check out and hang out. :) great spot! read more

It's a cute Boba shop for S Pasadena. There is no way to compare it to the hardcore boba shops in the neighboring cities with a strong Asain subculture influence. South Pasadena is a different market. I stop in during a busy Saturday. They were friendly, welcoming, very helpful and the shop was clean. Hokkaido milk tea. - it's was ok. Honestly, I've only been to two Boba Shops that makes this drink the way I like it. I will be exploring different drink menu options next time. Popcorn Chicken - It was good and def will be getting this again. Spicy Noodles - This was a recommendation, which I asked for mild and it was still burning hot. It came with salad and I discovered if you mixed the salad in, it cuts down the burning heat melting your mouth. If you like heat, this is your dish. Took mines to go and they did a good job packing everything. Parking: Street and read the signs. There is a underground parking across the street that is free after 12pm M-F and all weekends. Next to the Gold line South Pasadena stop Payment: Cash or Card Overall: Def would go again. I take the train 1-2 times a week and will be one of my options to grab a bite on the way home. read more

Look for the T-Rex logo! Thankful for a solid tea spot right off the South Pasadena Mission Street Gold Line. Believe me, it is indeed a sweet location. Their bar window seating allows you not only to people watch, but also watch the Metro as they come passing through. I've been here numerous times, and each time, I've been served refreshing tea (especially during the summer heat) and friendly vibes from the owners and workers. I've only ever come here via the Gold Line so there was no need to look for parking. However, there is plenty of street parking all around Old Town South Pasadena -- on Mission Street or smaller side streets. On Thursdays, the city hosts a Farmers Market. On these days, Meridian Avenue to the left of Teamorrow (and La Monarca Bakery) is closed along with El Centro Street. I've tried a few different drinks here. My favourite is the Mango Green Tea with Fruit Jelly. As with most boba places, you can customise the sweetness and ice level of your drink. They also have Cheese Foam, which you can add as a topping for your drink. When you get your drink, they always ask you to try it and let them know if you like it. With a Yelp Check-in, you can get a free size upgrade. A plus in my book! Their cheese foam is pretty damn yummy in comparison to other boba spots, consequently placing Teamorrow on my list of top 5 favourite cheese tea drinks. Their space is bright and vibrant, and in my opinion, aesthetically pleasing and not tacky. They serve food as well but I have not tried any of it yet. I've actually worked on my thesis here a few times since they have WiFi. During peak hours, the WiFi however does get slow and the atmosphere gets quite loud. No worries though because the public library is a stone's throw away. Every time I enter their space, it feels good to be greeted by the same guys/owners. More power to them. read more

The boba was ok and the drinks were average. I tried the heart of the ocean it was to watered down and lacking flavor. read more
Yelp 100 Challenge 2018 (37/100) Another cute boba shop to add to my list! Really love the aesthetics of this place. There's decent amount of seating and free wifi, so it's a good place to get some work done. The store front is a huge window, so there's tons of natural light. The workers were super nice! I mentioned that it was my first time there, so they provided drink recommendations. Once I got my drink, they told me to try it to make sure I liked it, and to let them know if I wanted to make any adjustments to it. I tried their matcha bandera, which has matcha, milk, and strawberry puree. It's pretty similar to the strawberry matcha at boba guys, and was yummy. Will definitely come back to try their other drinks. The location of this place is pretty good too. It's right by the South Pasadena metro gold line station. There's a decent amount of street parking, or you can park at the Mission-Meridian parking garage for free after 12pm M-F and all day on weekends! read more

I have been here so much and it is such a lovely and trendy place to hang-out and drink tea. Shawn and everyone at this place know exactly how to make you feel welcome and they have some of the best boba-teas in the entirety of Los Angeles. Here's how it works: you choose your drink, size, sweetness percentage, with/without boba, any toppings, and then wait for the magic to happen. I have a major sweet-tooth so I LOVE the Hokkaido Milk Tea at 75% sweetness with the Tiramisu foam. Also have ordered the Matcha-Strawberry and it was wonderful! My girlfriend can't get enough of the First Kiss with cheese foam, real blossoms included. The food is great too. The Spicy Beef Noodle soup is amazing and great if you add extra noodles. The Spicy Noodle plate is also great. Definitely stop in and check it out if you have the time! It's brilliant and you won't forget it. Check out the photos, I'll be posting every drink I get here. read more

This is one of our weekly spots -- we've had several dishes and are making our way through their tea list, boba and slush included. Plenty of room to hang with friends and an excellent staff; shoututout to our favorite business owners in South Pas! Free WiFi, great aesthetics, restrooms, and easy accessibility make this place easy to visit. Parking isn't hard to find and it's right next to the Gold Line South Pasadena station. Basically, no excuses for not visiting. PLUS, with the Farmers Markets next door on Thursdays, this is the perfect place to kick it before or after perusing local produce. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Dear Lauren,…
I really love the rose milk tea drink- First Kiss. It's so smooth and taste delicious. It has just the right amount of sweetness. I've also ordered the raspberry croissant. I liked the croissant which was fluffy and warm however I did not like the raspberry frosting which was way too sI love the milk tea drinks and friendly service. The place is usually quiet or filled with students. read more
TeaMorrow is really cute and great for instagram pictures. But the tea and boba quality was very mediocre. My two friends and I stopped by after a huge bbq meal and I ordered the Hokkaido Milk Tea with boba. My drink wasn't bad, but I prefer regular milk tea. Apparently the tiramisu foam was a game-changer so I wish I ordered that instead. Overall, I'd come back for the vibes? Maybe to study and get work done. read more

Came here a study date with my friend and the atmosphere is great for studying. It's quiet, spacious, and comfortable. I ordered the House Spicy Zha Jiang Mian and the spicyness is adjustable! I considered the portion to be moderately-sized and perfect for one, definitely not enough to share between two people. The noodles were nice and chewy, just the way I like it. While studying, Shawn (one of the owners?) came over and offered a drink on the house. It was a delicious Matcha Latte. ^_^ Normally, I don't like matcha flavored drinks because I find them to be too sweet, but this one was well-sweetened. It was a very nice gesture and I'll definitely be back to study here again. read more

The matcha bandera with matcha, strawberry purée, and almond milk was excellent! I didn't love the mango passionfruit drink - it was sweeter than I would've liked. The pork and chives dumplings tasted gamey to me- more like mutton. Look forward to trying more drinks ! read more

They have: -Free WIFI -NICE and Friendly SERVERS -Kind Owners -Location with 2 hour free Parking -Clean Bathroom -Hip music -Lots of Beverage options -Taiwanese-Inspired menu items See you, TeaMorrow read more

Hidden gem. Tea shops can be aesthetically pleasing and have good tea and food, but this one is way more than that. I love the people serving. They checked up on me and my boyfriend countless times at all points of our stay there (we studied there for a huge chunk of time). The beef noodle soup was tasty tasty tasty. I had the lychee fruit tea with less sweet and that was the PERFECT amount of sugar for me. Will come here again and again! Also conveniently next to the metro. read more

You never know until you try it. I had this dish in January 2020, and I must say this dumpling and Zha JIANG MIAN noodles were shit. It was garbage and I was insulted. It's overpriced! How can they do this to a poor college student!!! read more

I wasn't going to write a terrible review especially during these challenging times, but the last two food orders have been absolutely terrible. The Jja jang myun I had ordered had so much msg just from one spoonful I tasted, I actually think the chef accidentally dumped a whole box of msg in it. Then the popcorn chicken I ate had raw chicken inside and tasted spoiled. They really need to have better quality control system in place. Their drinks are always good though so hence the three stars. read more

This drink ruined my day. No, really. I got taro milk tea NO BOBA and matcha latte NO BOBA. What they gave me was taro milk tea WITH BOBA (wrong) and what they thought was a matcha latte. I didn't care to bring up the wrong taro order because to be honest, free topping so I don't care. Matcha latte tasted like water and matcha powder. Before you ask, yes, I did shake it up/mix it up. I saw milk, but I did not taste it. All I tasted was bitter disappointment. And watered down matcha. Cute store, aesthetically pleasing. Great place for your Instagram, but not for a matcha latte. I don't know if their other drinks are different, but my matcha latte made me so sad, I didn't even talk to my sister for the ride home. Two stars because in their defense, the earl grey milk tea was pretty good. Get that instead. read more

So good! I have been wanting to try cheese foam so I got their jasmine green tea based on the coworkers suggestion. She was right! I'll be coming back to try more flavors. Only downfall to this place is parking is hard to find. read more
First off, what a cute space! From the wall art, to the neon sign, to their other art decor, it is a lovely space. There's also plenty of tables including seats at the window. It's a great place to get some work done. They have wifi and outlets throughout the shop, and a bathroom in the back. The only thing that kinda threw me off was their hand written menu on a piece of paper. Nevertheless, they have not only drinks, but food as well. They have a lot of options for tea, as well as toppings (including cheese foam)! I really enjoyed my drink. The tea was strong flavored and it was the perfect amount of sweetness for me. The tapioca was also a good texture. The food was just okay to me. I had the Chairman rice. It looks like their dishes comes with a side of salad, which was a bit unexpected, but nice if you want something more healthy. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the dressing. As for the rice, it was a bit on the harder end and my pork belly was a little too sweet. I may try some other dish next time, or stick to just getting drinks here. Everything was kept very clean when I was there. It can get busy and pretty loud when school is out and students from nearby come. They share an entrance space with the other stores and the incense from next door can invade the smell of the air. The service was great. Not only was it fast, but everyone working there were really friendly. read more
Ok this place definitely surprised me because you'd think all they had was a menu of teas (milk, matcha, fruity, etc.), but they're food is great! Big thanks to the owner, Shawn, for recommending their signature House Spicy Zha Jiang Mien - I got them with a mild spice level, which was the perfect amount of heat. These noodles are unique compared to the usual found in the San Gabriel Valley. We also ordered the spicy wontons, which I felt were delicious because of the nice blend of tangy, savory, and spicy. The wontons were nice and plump, and I always love it when wontons are made with soft, thin, and generous wrappers. They were impressive! My wife's wonton noodle soup was delicate and had the same wontons. Teamorrow's secret menu has scallion pancakes, which I ordered - light, crispy, and goes great with any of the sauces and soups! The decor is simple, clean, and charming. They've got a beautiful wall with an amazing blue & purple watercolor wallpaper on one side. There are cat themed art posters, which upon examination reveal an intent to support mental health and related research. They are made in different languages and are for sale. It's worth mentioning that this café is located tight by the South Pasadena Gold Line Metro station. So convenient to get to for folks taking advantage of the light rail. I'm a big fan! read more

I must admit, I was attracted to this cafe due to pictures of its aesthetically pleasing decor and as someone who often visits "Instagram worthy" places for the look and knowing that they usually lack in taste, I was surprised by how much I liked the boba I ordered. The menu selection features the basic tea and coffee options along with some of their more unique ones. Definitely ask about those! Their employees are very knowledgeable about the teas and give great recommendations based on what you like. They also give you the option of using actual milk in your milk tea versus non-dairy creamer. My milk tea was also the perfect sweetness, though they will certainly adjust it for you if it is not. And of course, the decor! I love the painting that stretches across the back wall. The cafe is also spacious with lots of seating and outlets, perfect for studying. I will definitely be coming back here soon! read more
Had this place bookmarked for a while now but finally took the time to go check if out with the bff last Wednesday 5/2/18. South Pasadena is such a pretty and hipster area so I often don't visit, but i was so intrigued by their logo that I had to stop by. I do not know if there is a parking lot, but we found street parking across the street and walked over. There's no sign but its a shared area with a bookstore, so thanks to people who mentioned that because I was lost. Walked in around noon and there was a couple other tables filled. We were greeted right away and the servers were so friendly, especially the male server who I did not get his name, but he was very chatty and made sure we enjoyed our stay. Yelp check-in or student id gets you a free upgrade to large, but for the teas with foam, there is no upgrade so poop. I ordered the Jasmine Green Tea with Cheese form and my friend got the Oolong Tea with Cheese foam as well. They have these super cute spoons that look like shovels to eat the foam with. Both teas were good! Super chill area to do homework and just hang with friends. Teas were tasty and averaged price for tea spots nowadays. Service was great! If this spot was closer to me, I'd definitely stop by more often! read more

I really enjoyed Teamorrow! Parking-Street parking, not too bad during the week, but difficult on Thursdays because of the Farmers Market (around 3-8pm) Food- we got the Beef Noodle Soup and Pork and Chive Dumplings. Soup was comforting and the dumplings were nice and stuffed. Drinks- we got the Jasmine Milk Tea w/boba, Taro Milk Tea w/boba and the Heart of the Ocean drink which was super refreshing-perfect for Summer! If you're in South Pasadena i definitely recommend this spot! And a plus is the Staff was so friendly and attentive! Great place! read more
