    My drink was good and not overly sweet. It was a papaya frappe but I didn't really taste papaya. It had a faint coconut taste to it so I'm not sure if coconut water or milk was added. There wasn't any fruits in my drink or pulp fibers. I think their fruit drinks are either from concentrate or syrup flavorings. The way my drink was blended wasn't thorough. I had many ice cubes that were not crushed. When I finished my drink there was at least 5 ice cubes sitting on the bottom of the cup. The lady helping me was nice and made the drink quick. I had a hard time hanging out there because the seating area was small and the music was a bit too loud for me. It wasn't really ideal for studying or group hang out, although it has seating I saw it as more of a grab and go kind of place.

    Goodtogo app: great deal, love that they made the drink when I came into the store. Also I really appreciate that it's two different tea flavors than your standard milk tea. Parking: parking lot available and shared with other stores. Hawaii POG with boba: orange juice with other fruit like passion fruit. Thailem Lime mint with boba: bit tart because it's lime instead of lemon, sour and sweet like lemonade. Popcorn chicken (spiciest level): bit salty depending on the chicken piece. Chicken pieces are pretty big compared to other cafes. However, it's not that crispy coating in texture when fried.

    As far as the Drinks being super good, the games and the atmosphere is welcoming. I didn't get greeted or spoken to at all until the transaction was done. It would have saved us some time if the person behind the counter would have told us to order from the kiosks and that's the only way because the sign said something along the lines of saving time which seems like an option. Fix the customer service or create a sign that says "Must Order Here" and not make it seem like an empty space without being busy the person can't take the order.

    Tried a strawberry banana drink and it was really good! Not too sweet which is my style of drink but still very flavorful. Service was super quick and the cashier was very nice. My go to before enjoying some Thai food next door.

    DIGUSTING MOLD IN THEIR DRINKS AND THE SERVICE IS SLOW!I'm pretty understanding when it's just one person working but it took 30 minutes just 2 drinks. No toppings or adjustments just a basic To top it off the drinks weren't even good. Very basic and flavorless. Not impressed given that there's plenty of other boba shops close by that are muc h better. Also, there's mold at the bottom of their cups. Looks like they add their toppings ahead of time and just keep it there. So disgusted. DONT COME HERE.

    The service is stupid slow here. 11 minutes for a single basic boba drink. Maybe I just came when it was suuuper busy. I came here once about 4 years ago. Service was very slow and the drink was meh at best. This is why I haven't been back. Came this time to see if anything was different. Same slow service, but at least the drink was good. Not better than most places in the area. Only better than Quickly, Gong Cha, LAN Noodle, Jack in the Box, Yoshinoya. So many other better and faster places around the area.

    Wanted a boba after dinner so came to try this place out on Friday. First things first it's really small and hot in here. I was sweating by the time I started ordering. There was one worker behind the counter. Seemed like he had a lot to do. No smile or anything when taking our order but he also wasn't rude. I ordered a Thai tea and a taro smoothie. It was alright. Definitely needs a pick me up and some cleaning and air conditioner but drinks were good!

    2 drinks available from too good to go

    Before visiting my family in Walnut wanted to check out this boba shop since it's on the way there. I don't know what's going on the building says Uncle Tea but my cup says FULI which I believe used to be in Glendale. Anyways I stopped by around 1:30 on a Sunday. This plaza isn't that busy considering they have a lot of restaurants and shops here. There was only one worker helping with ordering and making drinks. Boba shops should have a minimum of 2 employees. Maybe there's one in the back making food orders. But employee was working hard on everyone's order and even greeted everyone. I ordered from too good to go app to see what they would give away. I checked in when worker was done making order from previous guest. Got 2 drinks, I didn't ask what it was but tasted like some iced peach tea with blueberry popping boba. Their cups are super cute with the capybaras, I also like their straws. I'll stop by with my own order next time.

    Uncle Tea was one of my favorite tea shops during the pandemic, so I was excited when I returned and saw that they had remodeled their storefront and menu. I had the opportunity to try three of their specialty teas, all of which were good for the simple fact that they weren't overly sweet. I'm usually someone who drinks my boba at 25-50% sweetness, and I was happy with my choices at their regular sweetness. My favorite that I tried was the Thailem, which was super refreshing and probably tastes great with boba! My least favorite would probably be the Coconut Throne because I didn't love the texture of the coconut pudding, and the flavors of the drink were super subtle. I also tried their waffle "Cheese slippers" which is exactly what it sounds like I'm not too keen on cheese, so I liked that it wasn't an overload of cheese inside. The batter was typical for a boba shop waffle, not too sweet and pretty light. All in all I'm happy with the changes that they've done at Uncle Tea and I'll definitely be back to try more.

    Uncle Tea is a solid boba joint hidden in the Walnut area. I tend to come here if I end up passing the Amar and Nogales intersections. Prices are fair in today's market and the drinks are pretty tasty. They have a cashier, and a tablet for self service. I usually get one of their milk teas such as the oolong, since it is my favorite. The store itself is pretty spacious with a couple of tables to sit at should you choose to dine in. If you're in the mood for boba, check out Uncle Tea!

    House coffee foam?

    The house coffee was not good to me. Didn't taste coffee, had a weird after taste, and the foam on top was not good. I didn't order any foam but I guess something in the drink caused it to foam. Would not get ah

    This place is such a cute ice cream parlor. You don't find those anymore. When my family and I…read morevisited, we were greeted so warmly by a couple of young guys. They were so helpful. They let me know all the different desserts and options. They also explained pricing and availability to me. They showed me all the different toppings that they have for not just ice cream and sundaes, but crêpes as well. Considering I walked in here, thinking that this was strictly an ice cream place, they have a very large menu. One thing that I remember very fondly about my visit here was not that there were a lot of people here, but the people that were dining in, they were mostly families with children. That may not seem like an important thing, but to me, seeing that is precious More often than not, you see children, their parents, and even their parents parents. So sometimes you get a small group of people, but really you have three generations. Quality time like that is absolutely precious and to see them so engaged in conversation with one another and laughing the entire time and sharing dessert, that was so awesome. Sharing ice cream with my dad at an ice cream parlor near our home is a very fond memory for me. So I guess that's why I paid attention to this while we died at scoop Street. When I took a moment to take a step back and look at our little family, we also were there in our lil three generational group: me, my kiddo & my Mom. The prices here are more than reasonable. The ice cream that is used for their desserts is from thrifty. The waffle cones are made in house and smell amazing. There really wasn't anything more than I could've asked of this visit to the ice cream shop. This was so special. Servers: Art & Austin

They have all sorts of different options - funnel cake, cookie sundaes, brownie sundaes, cookie ice cream sandwiches, deep fried oreos, etc. Everything is made fresh - i saw balls of cookie dough, my funnel cake was fried right there, and so were the oreos. The portions are generous. My favorite thing was the oreos. Im not wild about thrifty ice cream which is why i got funnel cake, but i guess i just...wasnt that into it. They arent reinventing the wheel here. Plus it was hot inside and the tables were all graffitied. I live quite far so i probably wont be back - my friend seemed to have a nice time though!

It's made with sourdough bread. It's not overpowering in any particular flavor, and most importantly, it's not greasy. Adding extra Dijon mustard makes a big difference.

One of the main reasons I love ordering this particular dish is because of the Mediterranean salad that normally comes with it.

Even the flavor of the food seems to change from one order to another. Today I also placed my order ahead of time, drove about 10 minutes to pick it up, and still had to wait another 10 minutes once I arrived, only to receive a meal that wasn't what I was expecting. I genuinely like this restaurant, and the owner is always lovely, so I really hope they can work on consistency--both with the ingredients/sides and the flavor. When you find a dish you love, you want to be able to order it again and know you're getting the same great meal each time.
