    Green milk tea with honey boba - just okay
    Alice Y.

    I was a bit confused about how to order here, but the employee was super friendly and helpful. The window near the door is actually the pickup window. Head into the back of the shop to place your order at the register. I'm not sure how sweetness customization works here; I just asked for 75% sugar which was marked as "light". The green milk tea with honey boba ($5.50) came in a huge 24 oz cup. It tasted alright. The tea flavor was very light, and I couldn't really tell that it was green tea. You get much more tea than boba, but I suppose that explains the low price. The boba was big, chewy, and soft - not mushy, but way softer than I prefer. I wasn't getting honey or brown sugar flavor. It tasted more like white sugar to me, but the flavor penetrated the pearls to an impressive degree. There was also a dispenser offering free samples of strawberry lychee green tea. It was pretty sweet and had a classic strawberry lychee flavor, though it tasted more like juice than tea to me.

    It was my first time coming to this location. Street parking can be fairly easy depending on the day and time you go. The staff was really nice and friendly. The service was quick. I got the rose vanilla green milk tea and it was really yummy! It has always been my go to. I like that they have the favorites list to help. I had stumbled upon the free upgrade day, which I believe was Tuesday. The store was clean and cutely decorated. I will definitely be back.

    Hot plum lemon green tea

    When you first walk in, they have free tea samples in the middle of the store. How awesome is that!! I loved the vibe of sipping on free tea as I decided what to get. Service was quick and staff was kind. I got a hot plum lemon green tea less sweet. Even with less sweet, the drink was still just as flavorful! It was perfect to drink on a cold walk in downtown Monrovia. A cool deal they have in is this fridge of discount drinks! They have green tea, black tea, and some premade drinks at a lower cost. If I noticed it when I first walked in, I would've bought there in a heart beat

    Tropical Trio Green Milk Tea (25% sweetener)

    Tpumps reminds me so much of my high school days :') very nostalgic. I came back here because I got a free birthday reward... but I cannot remember the last time I had tpumps! This location is conveniently less than 5 mins away from my job. I feel like the drinks at tpumps tastes very artificial... heavy amounts of sweetener is added and I can't really taste the tea much. I asked to get it remade and asked for 25% sweetness.. & it was perfect. I'm a tea connoisseur, and their tea tasted a bit low quality but it wasn't too bad. For the price point, you get what you pay for. Customer service here is always great ... they always make sure you leave enjoying your drink :-)

    I LOVE this location. I am always greeted when I walk in. I love the flyers they have on their windows because it helps keep customers informed. Today, I saw a flyer for a cookie dough milk tea and I wanted to try it so bad! But I like to stick to what I know. On this particular occasion, I ordered my usual order which is a brown sugar milk tea with easy mini boba (new) and less sweet. When I got my drink, I did not know the new mini boba was white. I was not a fan. The barista who made my drink could clearly tell there was something wrong. I told her I did not like the mini boba they used (after I tried it) and she said she would remake it. The drink itself was perfectly fine. I was just expecting the mini boba to be honey mini boba, not white. It does taste different to me. Thankfully, the barista fixed my drink and I left a happy customer. I appreciated that she did not give me a difficult time for not enjoying the mini boba in my drink. I also love how they always have samples you can try when you come. ALSO I love their fridge adjacent to where you order. Freshly pre made drinks. I don't know any other boba place doing something like that. Thats how I found out about their Macadamia milk tea which is also SUPER good! Will always come here EVERY Tuesday...ifykyk!

    Freestyle drink from Employee!

    I came in tonight not know exactly what to get so I told the lovely employee if she can make me any drink since I didn't know exactly what to get. She asked if I was allergic to anything or if I didn't like certain things. I let her know and she did me an amazing drink! Love the drink and the customer service. I just want to say she's an amazing employee!! Unfortunately I didn't get her name.

    Good quality boba and fresh tasting ingredients. This Tpumps location is along Myrtle Ave in Old Town Monorovia. Similar to the first location in SGV (Pasadena), I've always liked the different options Tpumps offered. I went with a green tea mango & passionfruit slushie with honeyboba ($5). The flavor was good. You can taste both the mango and the passionfruit in the drink. It was a little bit fragrant which I can be a little sensitive too but it wasnt too bad in this drink. The boba was smooth and had a slight chew. Pretty much the way I like it. Service was friendly and even as busy as they were, the workers helped us with a smile. We will for sure be back again. I gotta try the almond roca finally... Plenty of free street parking out front.

    Guava Peach Tea with Boba
    Vicky W.

    Location: This Boba tea place is located in Old Town Monrovia on Myrtle Ave. Very cozy looking but the sign was kinda small so you have to look closely. Customer Service: The guy who served me was very welcoming and friendly. Repeated my order to confirm he heard me right which was very thoughtful. The drink was ready in a timely manner. It was a pleasant experience as a first timer. Parking: Street parking and public parking almost every other street blocks. Weekdays should be earlier than weekends street parking. Food/Drink: I ordered Guava Peach Tea with Boba at 25% sweetness and no iced. It was quite refreshing at a rainy afternoon but I would love to taste the guava a bit more in my tea. Covid-19 Precautions: There is a plastic divider at the entrance on a small table, the guy who served me was masked on and with gloves too. Hand sanitizer was provided. Pretty good.

    Good service, nice drinks, but they always give so little boba. Love that they always have a sample to try. It helps with their wide range of flavors. Ambiance is chill vibes, the wait is rarely ever longer than 10 minutes, even on their busy days. Price is also on the "cheaper" end compared to lots of boba places today.

    My bag ripped and my drink fell. They put way too much ice in their drinks. There is hardly any tea.
    Derrick L.

    Too much ice and not enough tea. The tea is watered down. When you go to the tea place you go for their tea not for a cup full of ice. Oh and the bag they put my drink in ripped on the way to my car.

    Local boba shop in Monrovia and also Pasadena. They have tons of flavor mix options. This time I tried their sample Lavender, pineapple, lychee mix and it was so good I just ordered that. They allow you to pick your sweetness and ice levels. The service is quick and kind. Ambiance is clean but there's no seating so it's just a pick up n go spot. I think $5 for 24oz is pretty good these days, actually cheap for some. You can grab a drink and bring to the Look movie theater

    Roy H.

    Much better than the bay area one. The drinks tasted nice and had good flavor, which was a definite plus. However, the boba was very forgetful. I remember the boba being super honey flavored, but these just tasted plain. Sadly that was the only redeeming quality I had remembered about Tpumps. So many better choices now, it feels like Tpumps is still stuck in 2015 sadly.

    I have always heard great things about tpumps over the years but I recently just tried it and wow!!! I love this boba shop and will definitely be coming back whenever I get the chance. I love how we can combine different flavors! I tried the Neapolitan milk tea and it was really good. My friend got a brown sugar with lychee milk tea and surprisingly that was really good too.

This is a great little spot to hang out with friends or family, play games, go on a date, or just relax by yourself with a drink. I came with my baby sister and we both really liked the atmosphere. The front of the store has cute seating, and there's also a smaller, almost private, area toward the back near the bathrooms with a little couch and board games, which gives the place even more personality. I'd say the back area with the small couch is more of a first-come, first-served spot. The couch could comfortably fit a group of 4-5 people you came with, or maybe just one couple. Otherwise, it might feel a little awkward sharing such a small space with people you don't know unless you're not socially awkward. They have a good variety of drinks on the menu, though they don't sell any food. My sister didn't like the drink she initially ordered because she had requested foam and salt, but the staff was kind enough to remake it to her liking, which we really appreciated. Good customer service makes such a difference, and they handled it very kindly. My drink came out great... good size, good flavor, and fairly priced. Overall, I'd definitely come back here again if I'm in the area. Cute shop, good drinks, great service, and a nice cozy vibe without feeling cramped.

The quality of their teas are also regarded as high-quality as you can taste the genuine tea fragrances in the drink despite the added milk or toppings. They have unique tea flavors and toppings that differentiates them from so many other boba houses in the 626 area. 1. Pistachio Coconut Velvet (5/5) A summer/seasonal drink that is worth raving about. It's super refreshing from the coconut water, yet creamy and luxurious from the velvety pistachio cream. They are generous with the pistachio bits that they coat on top of the pistachio foam. I devoured this drink it less then 2 minutes and almost went back for a 2nd cup. 2. Tea-cube Special (5/5) This is a simple, yet, satisfying cup of traditional milk tea. It's made from a black tea base + milk + tea-cube topping. The tea-cube is made from fresh tea then made into a jelly cubes. Super creative, yet delicious. It pairs well with almost any milk tea based drinks. 3. Mango Pomelo Sago (4/5) If you like mangos and like fruity drinks, then this is a good choice. It comes with sago toppings, which pairs well with the drink. When it's fresh and icy, it's super refreshing. However, if you wait too long and it melts, the drink can get a bit too sweet. 4. Osmanthus Rice Milk Tea (4.5/5) This drink is a Jasmine tea base with osmanthus rice paste, milk and crystal boba. You certainly can taste the osmanthus flavor. My favorite thing to do is get it with their house-special tea-cubes. My go-to boba place whenever I am in the area.

The tea cube special sounded unique so I gave it a try. It had a strong tea taste. The tea cubes were squishy and had a firm jelly texture. This drink would definitely fall more towards the chocolatey side. I felt that it was still sweet at 25% sugar, but I'd still get it again! I haven't stopped thinking about the drink since I had it yesterday. Definitely will need to stop by again soon to fix my craving for it.

I think the ratio of the drink was a bit skimpy on the boba for the price. This ended up being a good thing, since I disliked the texture of the boba. While the pearls had good flavor, they were EXTREMELY soft - not mushy, as it still had some chew.
