Plenty of places to sit and study/read/hang out. Lots of fun options on the menu but definitely have the basics. If you are not from around here, there really is one easy way(direction is heading south bound on Atlantic) to get into the plaza so keep your eyes peeled and don't miss the entrance. Otherwise I didn't find issues with parking or lines. Staff were nice. Would definitely come back to try this again when I'm in the area.

The music is a little loud but I was able to get some work done. I love that there's parking in the plaza. The matcha latte is ok. I wish it was stronger.

Glad to see another coffee shop in Monterey Park, and such a cute one! Its clean, modern, and…read morecomfortable for studying/working. There is a good amount of seating and outlets, but it can fill up because people tend to spend several hours doing work. I've had their Chai latte, americano, and some other drinks. All were really delicious! They also have pastries and sweets from the case. I've tried their new butter mochi and didn't care for it though. The staff here is friendly and helpful as well.

[ Drink ] At my most recent visit I ordered the Matcha Latte…read moreand it was pretty disappointing. When I picked up my order the drink looked fine, but when I got to work I noticed the drink getting clumpy, even when I tried swirling the cup a couple of times and stirring with my straw. I don't think that has ever happened to my matcha drinks elsewhere, so that was interesting. I was basically drinking milk with matcha chunks. Their Hojicha Latte's also mid imo; tastes bland/grassy. [ Service ] Customer service is actually not great. The gentleman who took my order last time was pretty much expressionless. This recent time, when I picked up my drink for my mobile order, the girl seemed a tad bit annoyed for no reason. The workers at the San Gabriel location are much nicer. The drinks also come out fairly slow despite going early in the morning, I recommend ordering through the app ahead of time. [ Parking ] They have the tiniest lot in front of the shop so you might have to drive up a bit further where the bank is for more parking spots.

Cute little coffee place. Seems like alot of college students come here. I have been wanting…read morejasmine coffee for along time ever since i tried it. And leaflet has it. You can Taste the jasmine in the coffee. So good. Furious george was also amazing. You can taste the banana and it doesnt even have the banana cream foam. It seems like they will remake you drink if something doesnt taste right as well because they asked if it tastes good. But im not sure since i loved mines. They have the cutest pikachu chillin on a shelf. If you eat or drink inside, there is a plave to return your cup or dish. No parking in front of store but you can park on the sides or in the parking structure. Thrres no bathroom inside but you can use the one inside the parking structure.

Leaflet Coffee is a charming café that's well worth a visit for its unique specialty drinks. The…read morespace is exceptionally clean and cozy, featuring a modern, aesthetic interior with a handful of tables that make it a great spot to enjoy a drink or get some work done. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the Luxurious George was prepared surprisingly quickly despite the matcha being hand-whisked to order. We also ordered their seasonal Vietnamese Coconut Latte, which was visually stunning, though I didn't get the chance to try it myself. **Luxurious George: 4/5** The Luxurious George, a banana jasmine matcha latte, was smooth and not overly sweet, allowing the flavors to remain light and refreshing. Fragrant jasmine took center stage, offering a beautiful floral aroma and delicate tea notes that paired nicely with the earthy matcha. The milk, however, overshadowed the matcha and made the drink taste a bit milkier than I had anticipated. While the banana was a unique addition, its flavor remained very subtle and was difficult to distinguish, leaving the jasmine as the dominant flavor profile. Despite not quite meeting all of my expectations, Leaflet Coffee left a great impression with its inviting ambiance and creative drink offerings. With such a unique menu, I'm excited to come back and discover more of what they have to offer.

The space is modern…read moreand spacious, with small tables as well as communal tables and even some board games on the shelf along the wall! Definitely a great space for hanging out and/or getting some work done. The staff members were friendly and welcoming as well. I got an iced matcha latte lightly sweetened with agave which was quite good but the matcha flavor could have been a bit stronger. The prices for the matcha are a bit steep though - $8.5 for a matcha latte, and $10 for the strawberry matcha latte or the matcha latte with a matcha cream top. If you bring your own mug they'll give you a small discount on your drink too! Parking: there's a nearby free parking structure, or street parking

Love the Southeast Asian flavors of the coffee here and that they change up the menu seasonally…read more Plus no additional fee for alternative milks -- they know their audience...lactose intolerant Asians!! I usually get either the Horlicks or Dirty Milo depending on how I'm feeling. Horlicks is more wheat-y while Dirty Milo is more chocolate-y in taste. Both are delicious and STRONG. There's tables for you to either sit and catch up over coffee or get some work done. Tables do fill up throughout the day though, so may not be possible to snag a seat for an afternoon pick-me-up. Parking in the lot behind the shop!

The service here is also very friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering one of their seasonal beverages (4/2026). I believe it was the Meloti over Crema. Delicious and it hit the spot. I also got a slice of the pandan cake to snack on. Also, very good. I really like the spot and hope to come back soon

Visited The Tea with my wife on a Saturday evening and it was pretty chill. There's two self…read moreordering kiosks by the front desk which is always a nice sight to see. They have some tables but not enough for a place to hangout to be honest. Their whole concept is pretty much a open kitchen, order and walk to the back and wait for your order. Can get pretty cramped but that's just how their shop is designed. Parking - Free in a one way outdoor lot. If it's full, there's the plaza right next door and/or street parking, plenty overall. Their menu is quite extensive, from teas, boba, coffee, fruit teas, they've got it all. For first timers, they have a signature section which I think is basically their most popular drinks, they're all recommended to try. My wife and I ordered the Oreo Matcha Brulee and the Uji Matcha Latte to share, both came out pretty quickly, around 5 minutes or so. I'm a huge sucker for oreo matcha brulee type drinks and this place made it perfectly. Each sip is full of the ingredients, very refreshing, and perfect sweetness in my opinion with 30% - 60% sugar level. Overall, great tea shop, it's pretty ironic to find a place that's just called "The Tea" which can be hard to search up, but their drinks are high quality, staff is quick, and their shop is clean. Very impressed.

Yelpers, you guys did me wrong. Had a crappy experience…read morehere. Filled with awkward silence, no greeting, blank stares..your typical Gen Z behavior. Add to that, a toasted tea that tasted nothing like Thai! And horrendous Nikki Minage blasting from the speakers. Oh, and there is no air con so it was uncomfortably stuffy in there and let us not even touch on the cleanliness...especially when there was more than one employee working--some could be cleaning. Everything was dirty. I hate to call all of this out but with a product that is almost $10 a drink--c'mon. I should have just walked out.

First time visiting Heytea. This location is at the Atlantic Times Square in Monterey Park. Its…read morefront entrance is facing Atlantic Blvd. Free indoor parking available at the square. Only one self-order kiosk for use. You may order at the counter or scan to order as well. I chose the kiosk. Easy to maneuver through the screens. Payment by credit card. They weren't super busy. Although wait time for my drinks was a tad longer than expected. Maybe they were attending to other orders made online. Btw, shop is very small with no seating inside or outside. It's pretty much for take-out only. I got 2 drinks... one Supreme Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea and one Coconut Mango Blue. Unfortunately, they gave me the Crisp Grape Boom (hot) instead of the Supreme Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea in error. Not sure how they could have mistaken the drinks since I didn't order any hot drinks. My bad that I didn't check my order before leaving the tea shop. My youngest daughter was not very happy she didn't get her drink. Anyway, both drinks were good. I was quite surprised and impressed with the grape drink. Its grape taste came through nicely and it wasn't overly sweet. I've never had a drink like it in the past. I returned back on another day to inform them of the drink mixup. The young lady staff behind the counter was very apologetic. She spoke with the shift lead. They gave me the Supreme Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea drink on the house. I appreciate they took responsibility for their error. Thank you! I bought 2 additional drinks that evening... one Crisp Grape Boom (cold) (even more amazing than the hot version) and one Coconut Mango Boom. All drinks were amazing! Heytea is worth a visit for their fresh and unique flavors. I'll be back to try their other creative and innovative twist on tea drinks. Thanks Heytea for elevating tea to the next level!

When this location gets busy, it's honestly so hectic. I waited about 20 minutes outside before I could order but the layout of the store is extremely small and cramped. Everyone that ordered pick-up would squeeze in between the people that are waiting in line through the one open door they have. Unfortunately, it was a humid day so everyone was just waiting inside and it was difficult navigating between the people that need to pick up their orders and those who needed to order with the cashier. Probably waited another 20 minutes to pick up our order. Drinks: Coconut Mango Boom (8.2/10): So delicious on a hot humid day. There's a mango slushy base with bits of jelly on the bottom and sago mixed in between the mango base. You can never go wrong with this drink! Triple Supreme Matcha (6/10): I saw a recommendation on TikTok for this drink so I had high expectations. Unfortunately, this drink was so grainy and unsweet. It comes with matcha mochi and jelly that tasted like

Torotea has become one of my go-to's in the SGV although they are definitely on the pricier side…read more The interior is modern and cozy, but there is no space to sit and chit chat, only a space to sit to wait for drinks. They provide self-serve water outside of the store in the case that there is a long wait. Fortunately, this has never been the case when I have visited. The employees were also super helpful and very well-versed with their menu. They knew exactly what drink paired well with what jelly. All the drinks are true to the taste profile as described on the website. The Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi is one of the most popular items and it was indeed very buttery. It had a very unique taste profile, but definitely not for me. I personally really really really enjoyed the Misty Oolong MT which had a light-roasted, malty flavor with subtle buttery highlights. It paired perfectly with the osmanthus jelly. The best drink Torotea has to offer by far!

Second time visiting this location, and it was just as good as I remembered!…read more 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!
