Cute tea shop, my son wanted to come here for the Persona collaboration. The inside is completely in theme which made for good photo ops. You order from a kiosk and they have a tab dedicated to the collaborations that makes it easy to browse through the menu. The drinks were great and everything (cups, tables, walls, etc ) were branded in such a way that it makes it feel like an actual pop-up. Overall, great spot and glad it was worth the trip all the way from the SFV. read more

Really cute decor in this shop and ample space to drink your boba and catch up with friends. I personally don't know the collab they did with the cartoons, but they are adorable. I did try the collab drinks and they are a bit pricey for the quantity, but I will try a regular drink next time. The pistachio padan chocolate drink was a bit overpowered by the pandan flavor, but it was okay. Staff was friendly and nice! I think they do different collaborations so will have to try a different one next time! read more

Thirsty Waters x Street Fighter Collab! *only til June 30th* We came here specifically to check out the collaboration and themed set up inside the location and it was so DOPE! My wife and I have never been here but for anything Street Fighter I had to check it out. I'm a huge fan of the video game and they hit the mark on everything! There's a specific themed menu for this collab with 4 drinks. The set up is pretty much kiosk ordering, but staff will help as needed. The whole vibe set up inside was so cool! All the table are designed with the stages in the video game. The walls have a bunch of posters. There's a shelf with toys and collectibles. They have the arcade set up for free play of Street Fighter as well. We ended up ordering the Ken & Guile Drinks. Ken Drink - STRAWBERRY MANGO GREEN TEA WITH CHAMOY SWIRL Guile Drink - MANGO DREAM WITH MILITARY GREEN APPLE STAR JELLY We enjoyed them and would recommend. The Ken one was refreshing and light. The Guile one was delicious with good amount of sweetness. We might need to come back again and try the other two. Per the staff they do different collaborations each month. We had a great time hanging out in here. I loved the whole vibe. Thanks, Thirsty Waters! ( ^_^)b read more

My husband and I stopped by to check out their Street Fighter themed drinks. I've never been here before and apparently every month is a new theme. They went all out with their decor, blind key chains, and drinks! Parking was easy. It's shared with the other businesses in the complex. I parked in front of Stater Bros. The bubble tea shop is spacious. They had tables, high top seating, and an arcade. We were greeted when we arrived. We placed our orders on a kiosk, mind you there is only one. I got the Guile drink which was a milk tea with mango puree and apple star jelly. I substituted the milk with oat ($0.75 extra). My husband ordered Ken which was green tea with strawberry mango and chamoy swirl. We played Street Fighter while our drinks were being prepared. After losing two rounds (lol) they were ready. I love when drinks are put in a cup with the pop tab. It's satisfying to hear the "pop" when I open the can. Guile was perfect! The mango puree was fresh and sweet. I could taste the apple in the star jelly. Although they were a bit difficult to grab on every sip, it was enjoyable still when I was able to. The oat milk paired very well. Ken was refreshing. Similar to Guile's, it was perfectly balanced. The mango did not overpower the drink and the chamoy came through. If I had to choose between the two, I would reorder Guile. The drinks were simple and that's what made them great. I would continue coming back for their themed drinks. Thanks, Thirsty Waters! See you again real soon! read more

We decided to visit while they had the Street Fighter theme. Upon arriving, they were so friendly and welcoming. The kind lady at the front, who seemed to be the manager or owner, greeted us and offered us a sample of oolong tea (which was good btw). The decor and everything was super cool! As a street fighter fan, this was pretty impressive. From the tables to the menu and walls...it was all really cool! On top of that, we got to play the street fighter arcade game for free while we waited for our drinks. We ordered the Ken (mango strawberry chamoy) and the Chunlee. I felt the Ken was mostly of juice and needed more mango. The Chunlee was a bit sour. But the whole ambiance and experience made it worthwhile! read more

Thirsty Waters was one of the vendors at the Sony Pro Support events, and their friendliness, as well as the great drinks, turned me into a fan. I loved the tart sweetness of the butterfly pea flower drink, as well as the strong tea flavor of the classic thai tea. I hope to come by the actual shop and try more of their drinks soon. read more

I came here for the Street Fighter themed drinks. I loved the Street Fighter decor and the themed drinks. I got the Ryu Lychee Slushie Boba drink and it was really good. The drink wasn't too sweet so that was also good. Not only did it taste good, but it was also really cool! I didn't try all the Street Fighter themed drinks yet, but I will most likely come back again to try a different one. It seems like they do different novelty themed drinks and snacks every couple months. They also change the decor of their cafe to whatever theme they are currently doing so that is also pretty cool. read more

Found this place on our way back home from Resco, we originally went to a different tea place first but was sadly disappointed and decided to try this next. I got the Camellia Milk Tea, I didn't know what it was at first and the cashier informed me about it and even let me smell the tea bags for it. It definitely hit the spot! There weren't too many people when I walked in on a Thursday evening and it was super clean and open. Would come back again if I was in the area. read more

Thirsty Waters is a tea shop. They have pure teas, fruit teas, lemonades, milk teas, fresh milk, and some Tokyo street food. They also have Vietnamese coffee and matcha. I ordered the Brown Sugar Fresh Milk. It was excellent. Perfect balance of brown sugar and fresh milk. Lots of brown sugar flavor throughout the drink which i thoroughly enjoyed. The brown sugar flavor was rich and sweet. It came with boba which wasn't what I ordered. Still, the boba had perfect texture as it was soft, gummy, and chewy. Service was great. Was greeted upon entry. Cashiers were friendly. They asked if i wanted a sample to which I declined. I didn't want boba in my drink so I asked if I was able to order it without on the tablet. They said unless I chose the option to add boba, I wouldn't get boba. I didn't specify I wanted boba on the order but they still put it in anyway. I was behind two behind people that ordered and left once they received their drinks. Spacious inside the establishment. It was well-ventilated. Tables are spaced aqaduately. There's counter seating, some tables with chairs, and some sofas with tables. They had Demon Slayer merchandise and Tokidoki merchandise in the corner of the shop. On the right side near the counter, is a brightly lit LCD and colorful menu screen with pictures of menu items Depending on the depth of your car cup holder, they may or may not be cup-holder friendly. As in they do fit however but because the cups are a bit tall, some turns can cause drink to topple over. I enjoyed the Brown Sugar Fresh Milk. I only wished the order came out how I specified but otherwise it was still exceptional. Will come back for another visit! read more

This place has been on my list for a while to try. It's not too far from my house, but the big push was their collaboration of Godzilla with them. My Son is a huge Godzilla fan so of course had to go check it out. Outside on the windows were pictures of Godzilla. They had their menu out of what their specialty for that was went in. It was decorated throughout with Godzilla decor Mothra other characters. Very creative loved the drinks and the cookie was so good! I would definitely go back to try the other regular items they have Service was great very friendly It was clean ,loved the vibe , so many places to sit and enjoy your items read more

I had a good experience at Thirsty Waters (Rowland Heights). I ordered the Roasted Barley Milk Tea ($6.49 - Perfect Sweet - Perfect Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba (additional 99 cents). It's described as a nutty, roasted grain with warm popcorn notes. (Important: Cash is not accepted. This is a cashless location.) I arrived at Thirsty Waters (Rowland Heights) on Monday (around 11:05AM - Near Opening Time). Parking is very easy. The lot is big. It shares the Stater Bros Market's plaza. When I'd arrived, Staff informed me that there would be a 10 minute wait for boba. So I used that time to explore and admire the location. Staff is very professional, charming, and helpful. Staff happily answered all my questions, and Staff maintained a bright, cheery demeanor. At 11:15AM, I used the self-service kiosk to make my order. My drink took two minutes and 30 seconds. Very fast! As mentioned, I ordered the Roasted Barley Milk Tea ($6.49 - Perfect Sweet - Perfect Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba (additional 99 cents). To my immense satisfaction, I tasted thoughtful flavors. There were moments where the drink reminded me of the famous Popcorn Milk Tea from Torotea. Unfortunately, this drink tasted a little diluted & watery. The delicious, fresh popcorn taste was present, but it's very faint. Concerning the boba, it felt fairly standard. I appreciated the boba's bounce and playfulness. Regarding ambiance, Thirsty Waters (Rowland Heights) is a solid study/work spot. Although I counted only two electrical outlets, this business offers Power Stations for customers' devices. Woah!! There's also customer internet with password; the information is taped onto the side, but customers can find the info by talking to Staff. There's also a gender neutral restroom in the back. I especially loved the animated, energetic, and cheerful music; this music felt like Nintendo background music. The location felt fairly spacious and well-ventilated. There's five tables and one long counter. If I were to nitpick, some parts of the wall looked chipped. Also, there's tiny pieces of unswept trash in the corners. Regardless, Thirsty Waters (Rowland Heights) felt very clean and welcoming. Overall, I enjoyed my visit to Thirsty Waters (Rowland Heights). The drink is refreshing; Staff is exceedingly welcoming; and the location has genuine utility. If searching for a pleasant study/work spot, I recommend Thirsty Waters (Rowland Heights). 4.6 out of 5 read more

This was something I found on IG because of the Street Fighter collab. I was so happy I was in the area because I really wanted to check it out and so glad I did. I ended up getting 3 drinks just for myself because to be honest, all of them sounded good and refreshing and i was not disappointed. It was a really cool inside and nicely decorated with the Street Fighter stuff. Brought me back some good memories. I definitely would go here again even without the collab. All their drinks were yummy. read more

Tried their ube strawberry milk and omg it's so good! You can tell it's made with quality ingredients and it doesn't just taste like flavored milk. Consistency is pretty thick, which I like a lot. I also ordered the parmesan fries and it's a pretty portion. Fries are thin sliced, which are my fav. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area and would recommend if you're in the area! Ordering was super easy - self order on a kiosk. Staff was friendly greeting and saying thank you, goodbye. read more

Super cute place! We were picking up food in the area - I need Asian eats even when I'm traveling- and Rowland Heights is the spot! We just got into town from SF on a Wednesday night. A good boba after sitting in that LA traffic was just what needed. It was just before 7pm. There was no one in there except for a guy with a laptop standing at the counter ledge by the window. There is a good amount of space to chill between tables and a lounge chair area. (Many of my go-to spots in SF don't have this much seating -if any at all.) Unfortunately, we didn't stay to enjoy it, as we had to get to get back on the road. The drink menu is pretty clear and fairly simple, but had all the essentials and enough variety for everyone. There is a large self ordering screen, but someone did come out when I had a question. I had the Strawberry Dream with matcha cold foam (delish and pretty in presentation). My daughter had the Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea. Both drinks were ordered with boba (good flavor and consistency). I'd love to come back when I'm in the area again. read more

First time here, Ellie was extremely kind and patient! Haven't tried my drinks yet, but customer service was great

Thirsty Water is such a cool spot that I just so happened to stumble upon! They welcomed us with a sample of chrysanthemum tea, which was light and refreshing -- a great idea to introduce you to the drinks! I got the Lychee Peach Sunrise Lemonade, tart and super refreshing, perfect for a hot day. The lychee flavor wasn't strong in the drink, but the lychee pieces were fun to chew and added nice bursts of flavor. Ordering is easy with their self-serve kiosk (you can even earn points with your phone number), and our drinks came out fast. The staff was really friendly too. The shop itself is bright, clean, and spacious with plenty of seating. I thought it was super innovative that you can borrow a portable power station to charge your phone or laptop. Definitely a great place to hang out or get some work done. read more

I'd first heard about Thirsty Waters when they did a Demon Slayer pop-up at Anime Expo, so when my friends and I were in the area, I knew I had to check it out! When we walked in, we were offered a welcome drink (I think it was a chrysanthemum tea?) -- not really my taste since it leaned a little too floral, but still a nice touch. I ended up ordering the gyokuro milk tea instead, and wow -- it was rich, well-rounded, and honestly one of the best milk teas I've had. The space itself was really nice: clean, bright, and plenty of tables to sit at. There's even a claw machine by the menu for some extra fun. They did also sell some blind boxes at the front! Also, random detail, but the bathroom was spotless and stocked with 2-ply toilet paper -- little things like that go a long way! If I'm back in the area, I'd definitely stop by again read more

Thirsty Waters is located in the same plaza as Stater Bros, and replacing the same space where Sharetea used to be. I ordered the chrysanthemum tea, no adjustments. Very mild chrysanthemum flavor then what I'm typically used to, but still a nice refreshing treat after a solid hot pot dinner. Our group was pretty big (7-8 individual orders) so I appreciate that the service was quick and friendly! If I'm in this plaza again, maybe I'll try another drink off their menu. read more

I believe this was a different location of boba... BUT I like this "new" place of tea better. The tea is more flavorful and authentic to the Taiwanese flavor- palate. I would need to try more of the other tea flavors but overall I like this place. They have water for you and spots to sit. Bathrooms could be cleaner but overall not a bad spot to check out. Our favorite so far has been the roasted barley and their boba is soft and chewy! Price is decent and service is good. read more

Location: Thirsty Waters is located on Colima Rd inside Fairway Plaza, on the corner of Colima and Fairway/Brea Canyon Cut Off Rd. This spot used to be Kawai Boba Tea House, and now sits next to Chefs and California Pharmacy Supply. Drinks & Taste: I ordered the Roasted Barley Milk Tea with Boba. The drink leaned more on the sugary side with very little tea flavor coming through. The boba pearls were on the firmer side, served cold with no distinct taste--definitely not the warm, chewy style that some boba fans love. Atmosphere: When you walk in, there's a counter with a self-order kiosk right at the entrance for drinks and food. To the right is a large menu display, and to the left are about 7-8 tables for dine-in if you want to relax, sip your drink, or chat with friends. Service: Service was solid. Staff was friendly, helpful, and welcomed me with a smile. Overall: Thirsty Waters is an average boba shop with no big surprises. Nothing bad stood out, but nothing wowed me either. I'm open to giving them another shot--maybe I just ordered the wrong drink this time. read more

Thirsty Waters *August 23, 2025 *6:30pm- Saturday *4.5 Stars Environment: *Small-Moderate Sized Parking Lot *Clean and Nice Aesthetic *Kiosk Order *Quick Service Food/Drink: *Mango Lychee Green Tea (Light Sweetness) *Pineapple Passionfruit Green Tea (Light Sweetness) I was excited to finally try this spot, since the location has seen quite a few boba shops come and go over the years. The Mango Lychee Green Tea was very refreshing and not overly sweet. The Pineapple Passionfruit Green Tea leaned a bit sweeter for my taste, even with reduced sweetness, and had a slight syrup-like flavor. That said, both drinks had a bold tea base, and you can tell they're brewed from real tea rather than powders. The shop itself has a clean, modern aesthetic with plenty of space, and I thought it was fun that they even had a claw machine to use while waiting. Overall, a great first impression and definitely worth a return visit. read more

I was in the area and the family wanted some drinks. I found Thirsty Waters on Yelp and decided to give it a try! They have unique menu items, and only three choices of toppings (boba, crystal boba, and lychee jelly). I love that they offer unique milk teas (i.e. dragon well, gyokuro) as well as ceremonial matcha, as many tea places don't use this high quality of matcha. The cashier was super nice and gave good recommendations. I ended up with a Mango green tea with crystal boba, the ube strawberry dream with boba, and the Vietnamese coffee with ube cold foam. The cashier asked if I wanted ube lavender cold foam (it wasn't on the menu) and I absolutely did! My family thought the drinks were great! I really enjoyed my coffee, the cold foam gave it just a hint of lavender and it was so good! I will be trying the roasted barley milk tea on my next visit! The only suggestion I have is that they seal their drinks properly. I didn't realize until later that 2 of the 3 drinks were not sealed completely and spilled a bit when I shook them. read more

Ordered the ube Vietnamese coffee and the regular Vietnamese coffee. Since the Vietnamese coffee were premade, sweetness cannot be adjusted. We paid for Boba, but was disappointed that Boba was not ready and was offered either Sakura Boba or lychee jelly. The staff was very kind and courteous (practically the reason for the 3 stars). She offered us to try the different add-ons and even though we were not sure if lychee jelly would be weird with the coffee, she said it should be good. WRONG. THE coffee ended up being overly sweet and had a weird taste because of the lychee jelly. couldn't really taste the Ube, just coffee. At $8 a cup, I don't feel it's worth it. Probably would not return again unfortunately. read more

Relatively new tea shop that I decided to come try out! First impressions on ambiance - excellent vibes, very well maintained, has a claw machine with Labubus too (although they were all claimed when I visited LOL). Great service, we were offered a sip of the oolong tea upon entering and it was soooo perfect. But today, decided on a iron goddess milk tea for myself with lychee jelly, my brother got the alishan high mountain oolong tea, my mom went with the sakura white peach with jelly, and my dad tried the honeydew chrysanthemum tea with no toppings. One cool thing to note, their "perfect" sweetness, is comparable to a 80% sweetness from other places. And boy oh boy, it was perfect! I will definitely be back! read more

We tried the Thirsty Waters at their official Grand Opening event. It's located inside the Stater Bros. market plaza on Colima Road (across 168 Market). It had a long line that day, but we went in the afternoon around 2:30 p.m., and the line was shorter. We waited in line for about 20 minutes to get in. It had BOGO and "Labubu Giveaway" for the Grand Opening (we also got 1 claw machine token for every $5 spent, and we got 3 tokens for a chance to win Labubu). We ordered 3 drinks, and got another 3 drinks for free on the Grand Opening Day. We got the Strawberry Cream, Ube Strawberry Cream, Matcha Strawberry Cream, etc. All the drinks were good, refreshing, and they were not too sweet. They made a mistake on my Ube Strawberry Cream because I didn't see any purple inside, so they made another one for me and told me to keep that one. (Very generous of them) Guess what, I got the Big Into Energy Labubu (Red color- Love) on our 3rd try of the claw machine. It was unbelievable, and I'm so excited for it. We will go back there again to try their other drinks. read more

I was finally able to try this tea shop and I'm glad that we did. The menu is pretty solid with a lot of great items and I need to come back to try them. The interior has a lot of seating, is clean and has a good atmosphere to it. The service was great. The employee had answers to our questions, plenty of recommendations, gave us some samples for their green tea, and made sure our orders / modifications were correct. The tea itself is one of the better quality leaves I've had in the area. I can say it's worth the money and their quality of drinks / service have me interested and I will try to come more often to try more of their menu. 5/5 read more
