Boba o'clock my happy timee! Highlights of the menu: 1. Ube mess milk tea 2. Strawberry matcha milk tea Yummy and beautiful drinks from this place. It has a yellow color which pops the store out and there are a lot of cute decorations. A nice place to hang out for milk tea. When I came to the store, Squid Game series is just ended. This place catches the trend by offering the Dalgona carving game. A very exciting experience! read more

Came by here after having lunch at XLB to grab some boba! My friend and I came right when they opened and there was a line already out the door so this place has been pretty popular the last few years since it opened! Drinks that were ordered: 1. Ube mess milk tea 2. Strawberry matcha milk tea Our drinks came out pretty fast after we ordered and I thought that the ube mess had a good amount of ube mixed in with the milk tea to make it on the more heavy side but that was something I was craving at the time. I will say it veered to being a little milky for my taste but once I mixed it, it was great and delicious! My friend also enjoyed her drink and thought that there was a good blend of strawberry and matcha and that it wasn't too sweet for her but just right! Their decor is simple and there are plenty of tables to sit at and I can see myself studying here for a couple hours when I need to. They also have several games on the side that you can play with your friends or family! Drinks here are a little on the more expensive side but I would say you are getting quality drinks for what you are spending! I am looking forward to coming back soon to try their other drinks like the creme brulee oreo matcha just because it sounds so interesting! read more

My sister invited me to boba from this place. I decided to try their Ube Messy Milk Tea and to my surprise it was mostly milk. I would say 95% milk and 5% ube paste. Obviously this drink wasn't gonna taste good because if I wanted to have milk, I would have it at home. On the other hand, their boba is really good. It's sweet and chewy. Definitely tastes fresh. I would come back to try their other drinks. Hopefully they don't all just taste like milk :( read more

I have attempted 3 times making purchases after 8 pm. First time they were closed. 2nd time they were closing before 9. I called to make sure they were still open. 3rd time I arrived at 8:30 and they did not want to serve me because they were closing. So disappointing. Three strikes and I am done. Not going back read more

We went on a holiday so it wasn't many people here. The menu was pretty decently sized and there seemed to be a variety of options to choose from. I got the cocomelon which very refreshing but might not be for everyone. The store is located in a small strip mall so parking might be hard to find as it shares a space with a few other restaurants that seems to have more people in there. There was only one person working, but again, it might be because of a holiday. read more

First time trying it since my friend recommended it! The service was pretty bad so that's why I gave it 4 stars; there was only 1 worker and she was very agitated and upset but it might have been because she had to deal with all of the orders by herself. I got the watermelon green tea with half sweet and lychee jelly which was perfect and amazing! - They only let you adjust it no sweet, half or full for this drink My boyfriend got the ube messy milky tea with boba which was also super good, the cream foam wasn't too heavy - They don't let you adjust the sweetness for this drink for some reason read more

The people here are sweet and service was quick too! Their popcorn chicken I do recommend :)

Was driving back home and looked up boba spots near me and this had amazing looking drinks so I decided to try it out and ordered the Creme Brûlée Oreo Latte with boba & OMG, the drink tasted real smooth, thick, & delicious! Prices are reasonable, no public restroom and the not a long wait on a Saturday afternoon, however, the parking was quite a nightmare and relatively small for all the shops that are in that complex, luckily people come and go so you aren't waiting that long. Will definitely come back and bring my bf when we move closer to the area as well as try out the other tasty food places! updated: Decided to take my bf to try it out the day after and he too fell in love with the crème brûlée oreo matcha & I ordered the Ube Mess Milky tea which was great but my fav has to be the crème brûlée read more

Cute little boba place! Boba isn't ready until 12pm though, so don't go right when they open at 11am.

Love it here! They have a variety of drinks and teas that are super delicious. Very friendly staff too.

i got the Uji Matcha Flora frappe ($5.25) Parking is always tight in this plaza, but I always manage to find a spot. There's many other stores in the plaza as well, so expect light traffic when you do go. I reallllyyyy wanted to like this place. It's so close and convenient, and most of the reviews were pretty good! Maybe it's the drink that I got, since it's not that popular. The drink just tasted like icy milk. The matcha taste was not there- I could BARELY taste it at all. I don't even know what the flora was- to be honest. Just tasted like sweet icy drink. Also took me quite a while to finish, since it didn't have much flavor to it. When I mixed the two together after a while, it didn't taste any better. I'll be trying more drinks from this place and hopefully find a favorite! read more

I went to uncle tea and the workers were very unprofessional they were all talking to each other and completely ignored me when we were trying to get help from them. I got two drinks, one Thai MILK tea and one house special sea salt coffee and EXTRA cheese foam. First, the Thai milk tea had absolutely no milk. I thought that this might had just been the way that it was sold but after referencing photos of previous customers I realized they literally just did not put any milk. It is a plain tea. Secondly, I payed $8.36 just so that I could get extra cheese foam to my house special sea salt coffee. When I got the drink it was just a plain milk coffee, I asked the worker where the foam was since I payed for extra cheese foam on top and he told me that he mixed it in because "that's how it goes". His tone was very rude and just continued talking to his friends. Not to mention one guy came in who did not have a uniform and seemed to just be friends with the workers. They were letting him into the back and then made him a drink before they even took our order. I understand that it is night shift but I think that you should still have integrity in the product being sold. read more

Food: The drinks are pretty good here. They price is similar to like a Starbucks ranging from 4-7 dollars depending on what you get. I think some interesting things to try here are the ores matcha drink or the ube swirl. Service: The service was good here. The girls were very polite and the drinks came out relatively quickly. Ambiance: We came towards the end of the night so the shop was pretty empty. There's a few tables here but I would probably just grab a drink and leave. If you want some boba and you happen to be in the area, stop by and get a drink it's as good as any other boba shop. read more

Tea is great but their wait time is horrible. More than 20 minutes for two teas is ridiculous.

I looked over the reviews and thought it looked pretty good and decided to try out this place. I was truly disappointed that the reviews and my experience did not match at all. I tried to oolong milk tea which says it's their most ordered and #1 milk tea. I was really disappointed. I could've made this at home and it would've been better. The tea itself was weak (but still ok), the milk didn't not mix well with the tea. It just tasted funky. And the boba was too chewy and had no flavor. Overall, I couldn't finish my tea. It bummed me out. There was no flavor in it whatsoever. I could've driven maybe 5 min more to go to ding tea. . I don't think I could give this place another chance. It was just worth it for me. The employees were kind and had good customer service skills but it the milk tea and boba just didn't match that service. read more

Came here on a Monday around 12:30 PM and was able to get in line right away.... I ordered the classic boba milk tea (boba included) and my sister ordered a classic boba milk tea and an Okinawan milk tea. Classic Boba Milk Tea - Tea: The milk tea was ok! I ordered the normal level of sweetness and it wasn't overly sweet. I did feel like there was a subtle aftertaste that reminded me of coffee, but other than that, the drink was refreshing. - Boba: boba has a good consistency, but it didn't have too much flavor (I think it was just boba as opposed to honey boba) Overall, not sure if I'd necessarily go out of my way to return for the boba here, but glad I was able to check it out! read more

Best Boba In West Covina. Fun and Friendly. And the have reward programs for the boba lover!

Tea goodness love how they create teas and snack! A must try! Healthy options too Free wifi if you will stay and dine

Service was fast and friendly. Came here because I just wanted a simple tea with popcorn chicken. There were a few contenders but I went with this because they had oolong tea. Oolong with boba - boba was good. Soft and chewy. I felt like the drink was a little sweet. Would probably recommend getting light sweetness if you're somebody who wants a good tea that tastes like tea and not sugar. Popcorn chicken- probably the worst popcorn chicken I've ever had. It was dry and seasoned with some sort of lemon pepper and msg it looked like. My tongue felt weird after and the chicken was just bad. :( read more

Workers were rude for no reason, mid ahh milk tea. Don't go here unless u want attitude for nothing

Thanks uncle! Came in for some drinks. Had a really good experience. I came with my kids. Ordered some Thai tea and oolong for me. We all loved our drinks. And let me say the the young girls here were super cool and helpful. So shout out to the workers. There's other stuff I want to come and try. So I'm definitely coming back. It's close to home so I'll be back soon. Prices are fair and you get a 10% off with yelp check in on your first visit. Keep up the good work. See you soon. Ps: their boba is a bit too hard for me. Not worth complaining about. I still recommend this place. read more

Good tea. I like their jasmine green tea and the Oreo drink best. The cheese foam is my favorite thing to add other than boba. A tad pricier than other boba shops but they are good....one star taken for the terrible parking (only because I can't do a half star) read more

Uncle Tea - Jasmine Green Milk Tea with boba and cheese milk foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - West Covina, California

Boba tea shop with various specialty drinks. They're open during coronavirus for take out. When I tried calling to place a pickup order via the Yelp app and Google, the phone number didn't work but it's listed correctly. You can get 10% off your order if you call it in over the phone ahead of time though. Admittedly I had only been here once before but I had enjoyed the strawberry matcha drink I had. I was disappointed in this visit. I ordered the oolong tea with cheese foam and what struck me most was the strong aftertaste of sink water after each sip. The oolong flavor was weak and the cheese foam was very thin and watery. There was almost no difference between the foam and the tea. The cheese foam also tasted too yeasty. The tiramisu milk foam drink was mixed together (I had thought that it would have separate layers, but that's a minor detail). The drink tastes like chocolate milk - I wish there was more thickness and body to the drink. The sizes were smaller than I had remembered (based on other pictures, they look like they come in taller, thinner cups) but on the plus side, there's no ice cubes. They accept credit card and they're waiving the 50 cent fee if the order is below $10. There's a small free parking lot and there is a bathroom, although it's closed to customers due to covid. They're only allowing two customers at a time and the employees were wearing masks and gloves, which was good to see. Overall, I wouldn't come back due to the drinks having a sink water aftertaste and the foam being too thin. read more

I highly recommend coming here to Uncle Tea. I've personally been avoiding boba shops ever since lockdown had started, but today I was in the area and the plaza was pretty empty so I decided to stop by for some fruit tea. It's my 3rd time visiting Uncle Tea so far and I throughly enjoyed all my drinks I had ordered. I had ordered the Peach Passion Fruit Black Tea with chia seeds today, which was a tad bit too sweet for my liking but it was still good. I was kind of tired so I forgot to request for adjusted sweetness, so that's my fault. They have taken all the precautions to ensure the safety of their customers and employees, which is great. Make sure to wear a mask before going inside, and once you place your order, wait outside until they let you know that your drink is ready. They also provide stamp cards! Not that many boba shops give out boba stamp cards anymore so it's pretty neat that they still offer a free drink after 10 stamps. read more

Drinks taste good! I got the Uji Matcha Milk Foam and it was literally THE perfect sweetness. I asked for boba in mine...i didn't say crystal boba, but that's what she gave me lol They are open during COVID-19. If you call ahead and order you can get 10% off (I tried calling twice but no one answered...only to find out there was only one girl working when I got there, poor thing) ALSO; Here's my going on my little rant. PLEASE read the signs. Outside it says do not enter because they only allow a max of 3 people waiting inside for drinks. My boyfriend and I were inside waiting, and a mother and her two adult/teenage kids walked in. It's honestly DISRESPECTFUL to other customers inside, and DISRESPECTFUL to the business and employees. They don't waste their time writing out signs or putting tape on the ground to measure social distancing. read more

Uncle Tea to me was decent. I ordered the messy taro milk drink. To me it was underwhelming. It tasted like milk and sugar, there was little to no taro flavor. My boyfriend got the golden orange drink! I had a sip and it tasted great! Very refreshing, especially having this drink in the summer time would definitely hit the spot! My friend ordered the strawberry matcha. He stated it tasted like Nesquik strawberry and a hint of matcha. Luckily for him, he mentioned he loved Nesquik strawberry so that ended up working out for him. Would I try this place again? Yes... but I'd go for the fruity drinks. Looks like they're advertising their fresh coconut drink to be their number one seller. I might give that a go. I'll update my review, if I ever stop by again. read more

Came here on a weeknight and there was nobody there. Got a Okinawa milk tea with boba and a Thai tea. $6 each tea w/ boba Half of the boba pearls in the Okinawa tea were so hard I couldn't chew them. Filtered the tea out and threw my paid addon boba pearls away. Tea was fine if not a bit sweet @ 100% Thai tea didn't taste like Thai tea at all- just regular HK style milk tea. Sweetness was 75% but there was barely any sugar. Had to add honey at home. Personally, would not come back since there are plenty of options in the area read more

Visited some family in this area and the kids wanted boba. they have two food options since i'm a savory guy, popcorn chicken and fries. They were out of the chicken but they could do fries. the fries were crispy and seasoned with a dry rub that tasted like buffalo wild wings version of dry rub bbq. we got the ube messy drink and a coconut milk tea. the ube was not very....ube-ful? the coconut drink wasn't anything special. read more

Waited over 1 hours for our orders! Angry customers in the shop complaining to add to an already stressful atmosphere!

I usually love going to Uncle tea. Love their drinks and I recently tried their cocosnow and its soooo good! However, i had two incidents I wanted to share: First, it happened when I ordered drinks around 8pm. The coco snow crush tasted bland and like water downed versions of what I drank before, i almost did not want to go back. After a few weeks... I go back again, this time I ordered coco snow crush, around 8pm) but it tasted better :)) However, one drink contained significantly less as noted. Idk if they forgot the foam or if they mixed it and it did not have enough liquid but this drink did not look like it was worth the $$. Ive always had no problems with drinks except on night times when I get boba runs. I hope it does not happen to anyone else. Ty for reading. God bless. read more
