A very intentional space which felt like a spa. The server/drink maker was super helpful in explaining everything and guided us to some good choices. I had the pinewood milk tea, unsweetened with the creme brûlée topping. Delicious. It's hard to get a Milk tea to the perfect level of tea to milk ratio and this needed a little more tea for my liking. I will go back and try one with the brown sugar jelly cubes which my daughter loved.
An awesome Torotea location! The location is definitely less crowded than the OG Diamond Bar location. Parking is plentiful in the front of the business. Staff immediately welcomed us in and offered a sample of their location exclusive Pinewood Pure Tea. The aesthetics are nice at this location as compared to the others. The seating is all along the hallway and the vibe is much more chill here. We opted to try the Pinewood Pure Tea as the sample tasted really good! We received the drink within minutes. Took some time to relax and wind down inside Torotea. It was nice and cool inside on these hot summer days. That Pinewood Pure Tea was top tier! Shout outs to the staff for the hospitality and service! This location is solid! Good vibes! ( ^_^)b
Solid spot for creamy popcorn milk tea and plenty of decaf options! This is one of my go-to places when I'm craving a more dessert- or latte-style boba drink. I usually get the popcorn milk tea, which is sweet and creamy and pairs really well with the boba jelly. The tea flavor is a little harder to pick out in this drink, but everything works well together. I also love that they have several decaf options, including the barley milk tea, which has nice roasty flavors, along with other milk tea and fruit tea choices. The interior is also really aesthetic and inviting. I know that whenever I bring a friend here, they'll enjoy it--it's a spot that seems to be a crowd-pleaser with everyone around me!
We were in the neighborhood for some Vietnamese rolls and pho. I wanted to try boba tea around San Gabriel and found this place on yelp. Tried the Cassia Milk Tea at Torotea in San Gabriel and, unfortunately, it was still way too sweet even after making two sweetness adjustments. I asked the nice staff I like less sweet and she first recommended "perfect" which was still sweet then "less" sweet was also still too sweet. The cafe has many tea selection I am not too familiar with. The cafe itself is really cute and chic--kind of narrow, but with calm, minimalist decor and a unique selection of teas. The staff was also very nice and welcoming. I'd definitely come back to try something else, but I'd probably skip the Cassia Milk Tea next time.
Love the teas and the tea jellies here! The teas have a great strong flavor and I love the addition of the tea jellies which aren't available at other tea shops! I enjoy their pinewood milk tea which is only available at this location. They are also very accommodating and will provide water and umbrellas when it's too sunny outside. Amazing service and also provide samples of some teas inside. They also have a small seating area indoor but the space itself is pretty small.
Been wanting to try this Boba place for a while now. Finally got to stop by while I was in the area! The weight wasn't too long when we came on a Saturday afternoon around 3 PM. The staff was helpful since it was our first time here. I ordered their popcorn milk tea with brown sugar tapiochi since it was their signature drink. I wasn't sure what to expect with the flavor, but I thoroughly enjoyed my drink and wished it came in a larger size. The space was pretty small at the San Marino location. It was clean and cute. Looking forward to visiting the new Santa Ana location soon!
I absolutely love the drinks at Torotea. Their drinks taste fresh and distinctive. They look aesthetic too. You can tell that they use high quality tea and ingredients. A must-try is the Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi. This is a rich blend of assam black tea and creamy milk with a toasty buttery popcorn twist. It is my husband's go-to drink. Another drink I would recommend is the Cassia Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi, my go-to drink. This drink has a comforting aroma of cinnamon with the maltiness of a milk tea and the creaminess of a latte. Their tapiochi is made in-house daily and is super delicious. This topping feels like boba, mochi, and jelly all in one. The texture of it is nice and enjoyable to chew. It also seems to pair well with basically any drink. Definitely check this spot out if you have not yet. It is unlike any of the other boba shops around. There are plenty of parking spots directly in front of the shop.
Whenever folks ask me what my favorite drink spot is, I immediately think of Torotea. I remember visiting the Diamond Bar and willingly waiting in line to order a whole tray of drinks before the San Marino location opened - that's how good this place is. I feel like this location is a minimalistically artistic cave. I also really appreciate that there's always spa water, sunscreen, and umbrellas for those waiting outside if lines get long. In terms of drinks, my go to is always the osmanthus citrus refresher with osmanthus jelly, but you really can't go wrong with anything you order here. The drinks take time as they're made to order, but they are absolutely worth the wait.
Found my new favorite tea spot! The line was a little long for a Friday afternoon. Torotea does something really clever instead of the usual boba, they pair their teas with flavored jellies, and it completely changes the experience. We tried three drinks and loved all of them: Mulberry Oolong with Osmanthus Jelly is floral and fragrant, the jelly added a delicate sweetness. Cassia Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Jelly is rich, comforting, and the brown sugar jelly melts perfectly into the milk tea. Ember Milk Tea with Barley Jelly is smoky depth from the tea with a subtle nutty chew from the barley jelly. The jellies are so delicious. The seating area is pretty limited and the space feels a bit narrow/tight, so it might not be ideal if you're looking to sit and linger. Best for grabbing your drink to go or a quick sit down.
Having tried their other locations in Chino Hills & Diamond Bar, I had to check this location out. First impressions is that their shop is very clean. This shop compared to the other locations is that this shop is more vertical. Parking - Free street parking, no designated parking lot. Staff is quick, friendly, and very casual overall. They'll call out your name when your order is ready, very quick even when it's packed. My go to is always the Popcorn Milk Tea which is a drink that you really can't get anywhere else. Very refreshing and one of their signature and most popular drinks. Highly recommend. My wife usually gets the Cassia but this time around, she tried the Koan-im Oolong Milk Tea which is just another name for tieguanyin or iron buddha type drink. Very refreshing as well and easy to sip. Highly recommend if you want a more floral type drink. Very happy about our experience with Torotea overall, one of the best shops with very high quality drinks. I hope one day they can add drinks with bigger cups, it's just too addicting!
My new favorite tea spot! Rarely does a tea spot live up to the hype, but Toro tea has done it! We came in on a Saturday, and surprisingly it wasn't too crowded! Everyone talks about the Popcorn Milktea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi. It sounds a little unusual at first, but it ended up being SO good! The black tea with the buttery popcorn twist somehow works so well together! I usually don't like boba, but I'm a fan of their tapiochi! The texture is soft yet springy, and the best part is, it holds up really well the next day (unlike boba)! We also tried a few other drinks like their Mulberry Oolong with Osmanthus Jelly, Calamansi Oolong, Ember Milktea, and Gardenia Oolong. The Gardenia Oolong comes in a larger glass bottle as a pure tea. We enjoyed all of these drinks as well, but the Popcorn Milktea was our fave!
Second time visiting this location, and it was just as good as I remembered! I hadn't been here in a few months, and it looks like they've expanded their menu. They also added more outdoor seating, which is nice since the interior is pretty small. Parking is street parking only, but I've never had any trouble finding a spot. Emily, the cashier, was incredibly friendly and helpful. She took the time to walk us through the new seasonal drinks and menu additions, which made it much easier to decide what to order. Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapioca ($7.85) - My go-to drink! - Perfect level of sweetness without being overpowering - Rich, creamy, nutty flavor - Brown sugar tapioca had the perfect soft and chewy texture (only wished it was cut a bit smaller) Pinewood Milk Tea ($6.85) - Similar to the Popcorn Milk Tea, but with a lighter, more subtle nutty flavor - Still delicious, though I personally prefer the Popcorn Milk Tea Jasmine Oolong Milk Tea ($6.85) - A great option if you're looking for something lighter and more refreshing Everything was made well, and the service made the experience even better. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. Love that they still do daily samples!
3 stars After hearing some friends rave about Torotea, I decided to pick up some drinks to try. The service is spotless! The cashier knew his tea and really helped me pick my drinks. There were samples to try, which I believe gets rotated. These were the drinks I got: Pinewood Milk Tea ($6.85): It was good. It tasted like a lighter version of earl grey. 3/5 stars Koan-Im Oolong Milk Tea ($6.85): Also good and very light. This one was supposed to be roasted, but it didn't really stand out. 3/5 stars Both teas I got were quite light. I genuinely don't know if it really lives up to any of the tea shops in Alhambra, but it was decent. Price is on the pricier side. Customer service was great though. Parking is street parking, which is free. I'll come back to try other drinks with their toppings. But for now 3 stars....
I usually don't like milk tea but this place has changed my mind. Here are my drink ratings: cassia milk tea with brown sugar tapiochi, 10/10 - i thought i would like popcorn milk tea more because it sounds yummier but don't sleep on the cassia. It tastes a little more woody, which is a flavor i like in other teas such as barley. had to research what the heck cassia is and according to google its chinese cinnamon. its not as spicy as cinnamon you'll put on a cinnamon roll (which i also love). the cassia milk tea is so good with the tapiochi. popcorn milk tea with brown sugar tapiochi, 9/10 - also super yummy but i liked the cassia milk tea more! the employees are super nice and when i went they were giving out samples on the counter. my favorite thing about this place besides the delicious drinks is how aesthetic it is inside. will be back soon! read more
If you're open to innovative "boba" and milk teas, Torotea is your spot! I'm more of a traditional boba (milk) tea person, but during a weekend visit to the 626, one of my sisters-in-law excitedly invited us to the second Torotea location in San Marino. Free street parking is available. Our sis warned us that we may run into a long line, which was the case on a Sunday afternoon after lunch. The line flowed quickly though and the workers had an effective line management strategy, given the shop is small and narrow. This Torotea had a small seating area, reminding me of some hipster museum. While we ordered, the worker offered us free samples of their Calamansi Oolong Twist. I loved it! I ordered Torotea's most popular drink, the popcorn milk tea with "Brown Sugar Tapiochi" cubes (supposedly a mix of boba and mochi in texture, but was more jelly-like for me). My husband ordered the Dalgona Cloud Top Koan-im Oolong Latte. My other sis-in-law ordered a jasmine oolong milk tea, which was actually my favorite (yup, I'm an old school boba drinker). Me and my husband's drinks weren't bad, and I could definitely taste the "popcorn" flavor, but the drinks themselves didn't taste much differently than other boba shops in the area. The Tapiochi is more like jelly to me, and I kinda wished traditional boba was on the menu haha. I wish I ordered the Calamansi Oolong Twist or the Jasmine Oolong Milk Tea instead, but I'm glad I got to try the popcorn milk tea, which cured my curiosity. The shop's Instagram page shows that Torotea is the owner's passion project, which is pretty creative and something I would never imagine myself. Again, if you like a different spin to your milk tea or toppings, head over to Torotea. I still stand by my wish for every 626 trip to include traditional milk tea boba like Chi Cha San Chen, Ten Ren's, or Bopomofo. read more
I came here with my friend back in May when it just recently opened and the overall experience was good. on a saturday afternoon, the wait was about 15 min which was not too bad. the workers were really nice in explaining the menu. i ended up getting the popcorn milk tea w/ tapiochi and it was decent! i liked the unique flavor but the popcorn was a little sweet for me. however, the tapiochi was really special and not found in any other boba place. it is a little pricey which made me reluctant to come back, but definitely good to try! read more

I'm so happy they opened up this location in San Marino! I've been wanting to try but Diamond Bar is just too far. We wait about 15 minutes from line to drink on a Friday afternoon at 3pm. The line does go by quick. The interior is very modern and minimalist. Ample street parking in front. Service was great, there's someone outside to help answer your questions as you look through the menu so you're good and ready when you get to the cashier. I got the popcorn milk tea with brown sugar tapiochi, which to me is a combo of boba and jelly made into these squares. I loved the milk tea taste, it actually tastes like kettle popcorn and the consistency of the tapiochi was different but not bad. Takes getting used to. I also ordered the jasmine oolong tea with Himalayan sea salt cloud and that was yummy. I ordered all my drinks "perfect" sweetness and to me it was perfect. I would definitely come back again for the popcorn milk tea. Definitely worth a try! read more

So glad that there's a location closer to the other side of SGV! Plenty of street parking off Huntington Drive. Visited during soft opening on a weeknight and there was still a wait but not too bad. Line was short-ish. Took about 30 mins for waiting in line, ordering, and receiving our drinks. Staff is super friendly and helpful. They're very efficient. Ambiance is very zen, super clean aesthetics. The drinks did not disappoint. Love that they have their version of add ons that aren't boba! Black tea tapiochi js my favorite add on. Koan Im Milk tea is my favorite. It's similar to Orobae (RIP) metal buddha drink. A very roasty oolong milk drink. Tea flavor is spot onnnn. Not too creamy/milky. Sweetness is perfect. Ember milk tea is a mix of barley and soemthing else. I can't remember but this drink was also delicious! If you don't like the strong oolong flavor then ember is the way to go. Their oojicha einspanner was okay. This drink was too milky in flavor for my liking and the tea flavor was overpowered by the cream top. Same with their matcha einspanner. All in all, this is the palce to go if you love tea heavy flavors in your drinks. It's not your artificial boba flavors. Super yummy! read more
They are in their soft opening phase. Line could get long but the staff manages the flow well. Try their popcorn MT with brown sugar tapioca mochi and you won't be disappointed. Their jasmine oolong MT had the perfect note of jasmine and the essence comes through nicely. read more
Toro Tea is now open in San Marino! If you've tried the Diamond Bar location, the menu is the same but San Marino has the Oojicha Einspanner drink (next time). It's a soft opening right now but they are traing the staff and the wait is not bad. With soft opening, online orders are still not available yet. Plenty of stret parking. Drinks are made with quality teas and jellies (no boba here). Ask questions but all the drinks are good. And, they don't take cash. read more

Never tried this boba shop before. Heard about it from friends and thought to try it out since it's close to home. The location is kind of weird. It's a little out of place and the parking is not the best. The aesthetic is really nice and simple. It's a cozy feel but it's a bit tight. It's like a one way walking path to sit down anywhere. We waited about 20 min in total for our drinks. This includes waiting in line and ordering. The service was pretty good too. It was our first time and the staff outside regulating the line tried assisting us in what to try. The cashier also helped with recommendations on sweetness levels since we've never tried. We got 3 drinks. The popcorn milk tea, Oojicha Einspanner, and the Matcha Einspanner. The Popcorn milk tea with the brown sugar mochi jelly was great. I've never tasted a boba drink like that. The flavor and type of jelly is unique. The Oojicha was really nice. It was a bit grainy though. The Matcha Einspanner was really good too. I would prefer the Matcha over the Oojicha but that's my personal preference. The matcha flavor was strong and flavorful. You aren't able to adjust the sweetness or ice on that though. Out of the 3 drinks we got, the matcha's presentation was probably the best. All drinks were around $7.20? 2 drinks were almost $17 after taxes and fees. In my opinion, paying what we did for drink the size we got is not worth it. I think it was the longest I've ever waited for a boba drink before too. Though there were unique flavors this shop has, I don't think the line and the price is worth it. read more
When I heard Torotea was coming to San Marino I knew I had to try it. I went on a Friday around 3 pm and waited about 20 minutes. I personally really liked that they have a person at the front of the line that can answer any questions. All of the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered a misty oolong tea with a crème brûlée top. I actually asked the woman who was ringing me up to select the top she thought was best and it didn't disappoint! You can tell the tea is very high quality and the crème brûlée was truly whipped to perfection. The aesthetic of the place is very minimal but inviting. There isn't much seating for large groups. It's definitely more of a grab and go spot for now. I'll definitely be coming back to try the other drinks. read more
I'm so happy they opened a location here in SM so I no longer have to drive all the way to DB just for their drinks! I truly think Torotea makes the best drinks in the area. They source their tea from Taiwan, and unlike many boba places that tend to oversteep their teas (which leaves a bitter aftertaste), Torotea consistently delivers high-quality drinks. Their tea jelly is really good too, definitely the best around. I also appreciate that their "perfect" sweetness option is actually perfectly balanced. My friend got their popular Popcorn Milk Tea, and I ordered the Barley Iced Tea. Both were delicious and tasted just as good as the drinks from their OG location. Since it's still their soft opening, there's usually a line, but it moves quickly. Plus, the service is excellent; everyone is super friendly and helpful. Interior-wise, I feel like it is slightly bigger than their DB location with the same aesthetic. Also tons of parking on Huntington Drive, and on the residential streets. read more
I hadn't heard of this place before, but one of my friends had been wanting to go now that there's a location close to us. They warned me there would be a long line, but when I went at around 4:45pm on Friday, it was only about a 20 min wait to order and another 8 min to get the drinks. I can see this gaining more attention soon though. There was a staff member at the front of the line helping with any questions and giving advice on what to order, which was very thoughtful. I saw they had an interesting popcorn milk tea (PMT) drink, so I tried that since it seemed very unique. I also got the Cassia milk tea as it seemed like a simple backup in case the popcorn didn't fit my tastes. Surprisingly, I liked the PMT better! It helped that the tapiochi gave it some sweetness to break up the buttery taste of the tea. The cassia had a little more roasted flavor than I was expecting, but glad I tried it. I'd like to come back to try their oolong options. read more

- guys this place is taking all my money rightfully so...i have learned always to order online ahead of time because generally there's always a line. i'm glad they took off an online service charge, because it used to make a drink add up to $9 - 10 - the oojicha einspanner is my go-to here. the hojicha taste isn't as strong, but what makes this drink my favorite is the himalayan sea salt cheese on top. to me, it's an amazing balance of savory and sweet (though to most of my friends it tastes like grainy seaweed) - the fruit teas are all good! i would say the flavors are fairly generic for the fruit tea, but the standout to me is the mulberry oolong. it pairs perfectly with the black tea jelly, and its very refreshing :) - i love all of their black/oolong-based milk teas. top three would be pinewood, uva black, and cassia. my least favorites are popcorn (as someone who doesn't like caramel so take it with a grain of salt) and ember (hint of roasted honey) read more
Wao I'm so happy to see Torotea expanding their locations :') The Diamond Bar location was my go to but I will most likely start coming to this location since it is closer to me. My friend and I came by during their soft opening and it's very similar to the DB location. The interior has a beautiful minimalistic look like the DB location. We ordered the jasmine oolong milk tea with brown sugar tapioca mochi and the popcorn milk tea with brown sugar tapioca mochi. If you like the popcorn flavored jelly bean you will LOVE the popcorn milk tea! My friend got the jasmine oolong and it was also yummy -- very floral and has a strong tea flavor. The San Marino exclusive drink they have here is the oojicha einspänner latte (I will try next time). Parking is on a busy Main Street, but I luckily didn't have any trouble finding parking. Overall I am a HUGE fan of Torotea and will def come by again soon to try the other drinks :') read more
It is always a pleasure to visit torotea! I love the drinks at their original Diamond Bar location, and I was very excited to hear that they decided to open a new location in SGV! The interior decor creates a very similar vibe to the DB one, and there is limited seating especially due to their popularity. I got the Pinewood Pure Tea w/ Black Tea Tapiochi, which is a new drink to me since it is not on the menu. Though the tea is on the lighter side, it is very fragrant and pleasant in taste. The staff was also very kind and helpful in answering all my questions. Will definitely be back to try more of their drinks! read more
Soft opening for the much anticipated Torotea in San Marino was a hit! The owner Dr. Cong Chen was meeting all the customers outside and the interior looked so cozy and modern. I ordered 4 drinks here each with their unique flavors and their trademarked tapioca mochi truly is one-of-a-kind. It's a mochi textured cube that is my favorite boba topping from now on. The service here is also amazing. We ordered a drink that was missing mochi and they insisted on us keeping the drink and making another one. This will be a new spot that I will be visiting regularly and it's currently one of my favorite boba spots. They have a hallway with seats along the wall and some rock ledges further down the hall to rest drink read more

I've had Torotea twice at their Diamond Bar location, but I'm so much more excited that they're now in San Marino as it's a lot closer! Today was soft opening, and I arrived around 5:30pm. I ended up waiting in line, placing my order, and getting my drink all in about 30 minutes, which is actually pretty good compared to the wait times at the Diamond Bar location. Ember Milk tea w/ Barley Jelly - I still really enjoy this drink just like last time, and really appreciate the flavor of it. Barley jelly also has a nice chew to it to contrast the milk tea. Popcorn Milk Tea w/ Brown Sugar Tapiochi (Tapioca Mochi) - Not sure if it was my taste buds today, but I wasn't able to taste the popcorn flavor as much. I did get hints of it, but I recall being able to taste the flavor a bit more previously. I will say one thing that was a bit weird for me was that when I finally reached the front entrance, I was asked by the worker if I knew what I wanted to order, to which I said no. I was then instructed to continue waiting, while he went to the other 2 customers behind me, both who knew what they wanted to order. He then took their order, they paid, and instructed them to go inside, while I was still waiting outside. I think it was weird because I wasn't presented with a menu or anything, and it kind of felt like they just "cut" in front of me. I think providing some sort of access to the menu in person, especially for new customers, would help prevent future similar situations from occurring. Overall, I really enjoy the drinks from Torotea, so I definitely do see myself coming back to visit since the location is so much closer! I'm ready for my wallet to go down the drain haha. read more
amazing drinks! the popcorn is so delicious and flavorful. it's a small place with limited seating. it's more of a grab and go. there wasn't a crowd so service was quick. would definitely come back again since this place seems less crowded. read more
I didn't expect this Matcha Einspanner to turn out this good. The cream on top was sweet and the drink turned out just perfect when I was tilting it to drink it. It was a togo order so I cannot rate much about the place, parking, or service. I would definitely come back. Must-try! read more

Finally got around to trying Toro in San Marino! I'm really glad they opened a 626 location to help with the long drive to Diamond Bar. This location is in a pretty convenient spot on Huntington Drive, but it definitely gets very busy at times. I've had a few items here including the Ember Milk Tea, Matcha Einspanner, and Misty Oolong Milk Tea. Every drink has a unique and clean flavor that captures the essence of what Toro tea is trying to accomplish here. Safe to say, it's a cozy and popular spot for drinks in the 626! read more

Torotea looks like someone took bubble tea and dropped it into the Stone Age. The place has total Flintstones vibes -- concrete walls, cave-like holes, and that whole "modern caveman lounge" look going on. It's weird in a good way. Parking is easy. Walk in, order, grab your drink, walk out. Service is fast unless the place is slammed, but even then there's enough room to stand around without feeling like you're trapped in line at Disneyland. Now the drinks... The Crème Brûlée Milk Tea is the main character here. Creamy, rich, and that burnt-sugar top adds a legit dessert crunch. This is the one you order if you want something that actually tastes special and not just "another milk tea." The Popcorn Milk Tea is surprisingly good. It tastes like movie theater popcorn... minus the grease and regret. Sweet, slightly toasty, and different enough that you won't forget it five seconds later. Insider tip: don't lower the sugar level. Their drinks are already made for people who don't like things overly sweet, so if you go "less sugar," you might end up wondering where the flavor went. The Ember Milk Tea with barley jelly? Yeah... skip it. Not terrible, just not worth sacrificing a better drink for. Bottom line: cool space, fast service, and a menu that actually tries to do something different. Just stick to the popcorn or crème brûlée and don't overthink it. read more
First time trying it after 4 different recommendations. They are known for their creation of tapiochi which is tapioca and mochi? I like the idea that it doesn't taste bad if you leave it in the fridge for the next day. Their regular sweet is not super sweet which I'm thankful. All in all good experience for the first time. read more

What else is there to say that hasn't already been said about this place? It's truly divine and delicious. The ambiance and decor make you feel as if you're in a spa treatment. The original setting the creator had set is perfect for me. The crème brûlée crème? Perfect. Did I buy extra drinks with crème brûlée because I'm obsessed? You bet I did. The service is just as sweet as the drinks, thank you. For noticing my k-pop gear? Even better! read more

Service is amazing! They give you a rundown on the different menu options since there is a lot to choose from. I got the cassia milk tea with brown sugar tapiochi. Really love their tapiochi concept, very unique. It was also clean inside and loved the vibe. Will be back again! read more
The Ember milk tea with the sweet mochi jelly was really good. I'm craving it right now actually! The ambience is unique feels like I'm in some fancy cave or something. A small place to wait and pick up a drink-- not really somewhere to hang out with friends. The person in the front was super nice and helpful because I didn't know exactly what to choose and she gave suggestions. The ember milk tea is more of nutty creamy barley taste which I really liked. read more
This place is so nice I had to write about it twice! The drinks were as good as they always are and the small cozy aesthetic is always so welcoming! But I'm back to write about the exceptional service from Jodie! I've been helped by a good amount of workers at this location and they are all so wonderful, kind and helpful, but I truly appreciate that Jodie took extra care of my fiancé and I! We for sure will be coming back asap and you should bring your friends and family to this location! But make sure to beat the after work rush! read more
We enjoyed out time at Torotea! The service was nothing but spectacular. It was first time here and they were able to provide us a few recommedation for us to try it. We were just stunned by all the flavor profiles they were able to achieve with tea. I really enjoyed the pine and the popcorn milk tea. Surprisingly, the popcorn milk tea actually tasted like well buttered popcorn. I have never tried a milk tea with that particular profile before! They have their unique spin and taste to milk teas. This isn't a typical boba shop. It is a true tea shop. The shop itself had its own nature like ambiance. read more

I went to try Torotea on their grand opening day and it was worth the wait. I ordered the calamansi oolong twist with passion fruit jelly. The quality of the tea is unparalleled. If you want good tea you will not be disappointed. I tend to order green or black tea, yet the oolong combined with the calamansi was perfect, lightly sweetened and citrusy. The passion fruit was a yummy addition and I liked that there weren't too many seeds in it. I can't wait to come back to try the mulberry tea and a simple black tea with some of their other jelly's! read more
a friend actually recommended me to come here and omg I am so glad I came because this place just became my new fav drink spot. the interior was so cutesy and cozy. loved the decoration, it was giving modern but minimalist in the best way possible. would definitely recommend this place for place to chat, theres a table seating in the back and booth settings aligned against the wall which is nice. the workers here are also so nice and welcoming. they were so approachable and when I was ordering my drink they kindly answered my questions. I got the iced creme brulee which came with tapiochi jelly. the creme was slot but I swear it tasted so gooodd. the torched sugar on top added a nice smoking texture and the creaminess of the drink was just to die for. I also loveee the tapiochi jelly because it doesnt harden when u put it in the fridge and also its so chewy and yummy. I usually dont finish my drinks but omg when I tell u I actually licked my cup clean. the only issue i have with this place is that it is a bit on the pricier side :((( read more
