    Koan-Im Tapioccino
    Sharon T.

    Delicious and always consistent! As with other Torotea locations, I love the tapiochi topping and always enjoy to their tea-forward milk teas and their refreshing fruit teas. I personally really like their location-exclusive Koan-Im Tapioccino. The milk tea is blended with crushed ice and tapiochi pieces, and I love the texture of it! This drink doesn't allow for sweetness adjustments so it is on the sweeter side though. Since this location is inside a large plaza area there's plenty of parking even though the shop itself is pretty small.

    This spot in Chino Hills is Torotea's 3rd location. In my opinion, Torotea is unique and way better than your average bubble tea shop. Instead of regular boba, they offer tapiochi (tapioca mochi) and tea jellies. I am a huge fan of both the brown sugar and black tea tapiochi, which has an exceptionally soft and chewy texture. For first timers, I highly recommend trying the Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi. It has a rich and creamy mouthfeel and tastes like toasty buttery popcorn. The drink is amazing! Another recommendation would be the Cassia Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi. This tea is aromatic with a malty depth. Although there is some seating inside, this shop is quite small and seems more like a grab and go type of place. The minimalist aesthetic and dim lighting makes this shop feel warm and cozy. In addition, the staff are friendly and welcoming. It is also great that there is a huge, shared parking lot, so parking is never an issue.

    Went back to try some of the other drinks and i definitely liked them a lot more than i thought it would. i got the matcha einspanner and the black tea. 7.5/10.

    Such a unique aesthetic for a tea spot (reminded me of a Himalayan salt lamp)! The drinks are kinda sweet but the service is so informative. They also specialize in tea jellies which were a really good addition and also flavorful! My fave drink was the mulberry one and I think I'd get it again if having the chance.

    Koan-Im Tapioccino
    Shirley W.

    I've been visiting the Diamond Bar and San Marino location from time to time, now there's one in Chino Hills! It's a very spacious plaza shared with other stores. The store itself is kind of small just like the other Torotea locations. They're pretty consistent with their decor, earthy and minimalist. Except, this one is a lot more dim. The waiting area is kinda tight as usual lol. The employees here honestly all seemed checked out. Usually there is someone who hands out samples, but the person (assuming she was responsible for the samples) was kind of just waiting around and would offer samples only if you ask haha. So I guess compared to the other torotea locations, the team here isn't as pro-active? Honestly looks pretty rough, but as long as I get my boba, i'm all good loool. I go to try their Chino Hills exclusive drink which was the Koan-Im Tapioccino, which is a blended drink with tappioccino jelly. I got it half sugar, but first few sips, it's actually still sweet. But y'know, this tastes like a very nostalgic drink bc it tastes just like the grass jelly drink you get at the market!! I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing to compare to, but it was pretty nice. I dont think I would get it again tho lol. I would just stick to the Popcorn Milk Tea.

    I can say that this place is worth the hype. I love the interior design and the whole aesthetic of the place. Staff were kind and let us sample some of their oolong as well. We were lucky to come on a Saturday afternoon with little to no line! I doubt that that's a normal occurrence. Their popcorn milk tea is always a hit but I wanted something more fruity, light, and fresh so I settled with the mulberry oolong with osmanthus jelly. It was the perfect not-too-sweet and light drink that I was craving. The jelly was light and soft as well. They have so many drinks and creations available to meet your needs. Just prepare to spend $8 for a drink!

    A new location to Chino Hills and definitely very happy about this. First impressions is that the interior is very much a artisan type vibe. Dimmed lights, and plenty of angled lighting made the vibe very chill overall. Torotea is one of the unique boba shops around, as they're known for their tapioca mochi jelly topping. It's certainly one of the most delicious jellies I've ever tasted. To the 20+ times I've been to Torotea in Diamond Bar, this location might be a new favorite of mine. I absolutely love their Popcorn MT and my wife loves their Cassia MT. Both are perfect even without adjustments, along with the tapiochi is even more delicious. Only complaint I ever have about Torotea is their cup size, could be a bit greedy but a large or a standard cup with their signature drinks would be more enticing for pictures and portion size. On top of this, my wife and I attended their grand opening and were quite impressed with their drinks. High quality and various signature drinks. We would love to visit more often if we resided a bit closer to Torotea. Staff here is friendly and quick, never had any complaints so far. Plenty of parking around in a large shared lot, lots of food around as well so this is perfect for a post meal treat.

    Beautiful decor and friendly staff However it's so crowded They have so many people waiting for drinks, but not going to lie. It is pretty good drinks The price is on the higher side but most boba places are like that now Would go back if need a drink in the area

    Crème brûlée Icemilk, Jasmine Oolong, Misty Oolong, Koan-Im Oolong, Dalgona Cloud Top Koan-Im Oolong Latte, & Mulberry Oolong

    I went to Toro Tea during their grand opening. I heard the line was really long earlier in the morning, so my friends and I decided to go later at night and luckily the line wasn't too bad. We went as a group and ordered quite a few drinks to try: Crème Brûlée Icemilk, Jasmine Oolong Milk Tea, Misty Oolong Milk Tea, Koan-Im Oolong Milk Tea, Dalgona Cloud Top Koan-Im Oolong Latte, and Mulberry Oolong. Toro Tea has quickly become one of my favorite boba spots. I normally don't drink a lot of boba because my sugar tolerance is pretty low, but their perfect sweet level is honestly just right for me. I also really like that they focus more on the tea itself rather than just loading drinks with toppings, because I'm personally more of a tea and flavor person than a toppings person. One of my favorite things to do when I go with friends is try everyone's drinks, and I have to say every single one we ordered was really good. None of them missed. Each drink tasted carefully handcrafted and well balanced. The people working at the front were super nice and welcoming. They offered and asked if I wanted to try a free sample, which was really refreshing, and they're also great at helping you decide what to order based on your preferences if you're unsure. I sometimes find myself craving this place and will probably keep coming back. I've already put a lot of my friends onto this spot and they all ended up loving it too. The ambiance inside is also very aesthetically pleasing. The shop is a bit small, but it feels cozy and comforting, which makes it a nice place to stop by for a drink.

    Toro is such a great treat whenever I'm in the area! The milk teas are incredibly fragrant and indulgent. The Tapiochi is so unique and so good - I don't like boba pearls, so liking this was a real surprise ! It taste like a combination of grass and lychee jelly, so I will definitely be getting this topping moving forward!! We also made a large order to go to bring a party, and they provided us this super useful box that keep all the drinks intact and we never had to worry about spillage at all! I recommend coming here and trying out their many drink!!!

    Calamansi oolong tea
    Becca L.

    This new location is nestled in a small, unassuming mall plaza in Chino Hills. I had visited on a warm, sunny day so I tried the citrus refresher sample and loved it. It was phenomenal, I'm still thinking about it. I ended up going for the Calamansi but lowk regretted it because that sample was so good! Will be coming back for a full drink soon Calamansi oolong tea: 7:10 Citrus refresher: 10/10

    The best parking lot out of the three locations (Diamond Bar and San Marino). The interior is just as cool as their other locations with that earthy stone decor. This location had hats and totes for sale. I hope they start selling shirts. I would love to be mistaken as an employee with how often I am here. Their store exclusive Koan-Im Tappiocino was okay. It's essentially a slushie with jelly. I don't think the tea flavor was able to shine well through this drink. Might be better with their fruit iced teas like the mulberry or osmanthus citrus. Really nice staff and online pickup is my favorite perk. I hope they continue to expand to OC. Best drinks are still the osmanthus citrus and popcorn milk tea for me personally.

    Ember Milk Tea with Barley Tapiochi
    Cody P.

    I'm a frequent customer of the Torotea in Diamond Bar, so I was curious about this new location in Chino Hills. We went on a Sunday. There was a bit of a line, but nothing as crazy as the Diamond Bar location during peak popularity. The inside of the store had a darker, warmer atmosphere in comparison to the off-white coolness of the original store. The girl taking orders was very cheerful, friendly, and inviting. My go-to order at Torotea is the Ember Milk Tea with Barley Jelly. I love the roasted oolong flavor with the barley. But it didn't taste right here. It was bland, watery, and had no sweetener. I had ordered my drink with perfect sweetness and no modifications, so I was very confused. I went back inside the store to ask them to remake my drink. The workers were actually very nice and apologetic about it. They remade my drink quickly without question. The remade drink definitely had sweetener, but I still could not taste the tea flavor at all. Needless to say, I was disappointed because I really like the Ember Milk Tea. I strongly implore Torotea to look into their quality control processes at this new location because I know what this drink is supposed to taste like and want for it to be good.

    this is honestly my #1 favorite local coffee shop. i always hype this place up. it helps that it's…read moreless than 10 minutes from my work. i recommend to always order ahead on their website so that your order is ready quickly because the inside is very small. i love how they have so many drink and food options with both sweet and savory choices. they also have snacks near the ordering kiosk. if you really like their coffee, you can also buy their beans here. my go to drink is the mayan mocha. this store made me obsessed with mocha drinks and the way the chocolate and spice compliments the espresso is so delicious. i've tried many variations of sweetness and milks and it always tastes good. i've had their other coffees before and they're also all delicious. i haven't tried their matcha yet because i come here for the coffee. i just realllyyyy love the taste of the coffee beans used here and all the various latte flavors. my favorite food here is the spicy chicken avocado panini. you can choose your side to go with it but i usually choose kale with a side of spicy mayo. it's always perfectly crispy and the flavors go so well together. i have tried some other sweet and savory options and they're all a hit. you can't really go wrong with anything here. the inside is a really small store but it's perfect to eat at quickly before heading to work or while on break if you're solo. not a great place to study or chat with friends. they do have a small bar table inside with 3 seats and 1 or 2 small tables outside with chairs. absolutely love this place. the taste and quality of every food and drink is amazing!

    Came across this shop randomly. It's super tiny inside, no restroom. They have 2 tiny round tables…read moreoutside with 2 chairs each but it crowds the entrance of the shop. Inside there are some stools but again very crowded. Definitely a grab & go vs stay and relax or hangout. I ordered from the kiosk since there was a line. Got the Spanish Latte iced, strawberry matcha iced and a jalapeno cheddar bagel with cream cheese. I wish they had other options than just jalapeno cheddar for the bagel since my fiance is allergic to cheese. The drinks and bagel seemed averagely priced. When I saw the drinks they looked really small. The Spanish latte was on the more bitter side but overall good.

Among the pastries, I've tried most of them, and my favorite has to go to the Smoked Sausage Bread and the Walnut Cream Bread. Both are always so addicting to munch on, and honestly just a must purchase every visit. I often grab a box of Green Tea Roll Cake for my family and they absolutely love it as well. Very well presented and not too sweet. Perfect mix of flavor as well, highly recommend. Cake slices here are a must try if you're ordering a cake. They're perfect size to test all the flavors of cakes. Selection is extensive so there's all kinds for each taste bud. My favorite is definitely the tiramisu and strawberry soft cream. The soft cream is very flavorful, melts in your mouth and best part is that it's not too sweet. I love the presentation as well since it's not too flashy nor too cheap. Serves plenty which is perfect for any special occasion. My wife loved the selection as I got that to celebrate her birthday. Drinks wise, I've only tried their matcha latte but it's absolutely one of my favorites hands down. Cup is huge for a large, and I was handed the drink fairly quick on a busy day. This cafe has plenty of tables and I often see people doing work here or just hanging out, a perfect spot in a busy plaza. Overall, one of my favorite spots, always a pleasure to purchase anything here for snacks or a meal filler. I highly recommend downloading their app to get rewards, deals, and a free cake slice of your choice on your birthday.

I ate 2 hrs after I blught and tasted just at the border of turning bad (cream has been solidified, and cake itself I feel wet outside dry inside). I throw it away after. The other locations are much better quality than this location. I don't think I'll take the risk to try again in future and the price is even a little higher than other locations, but worse quality.
