I enjoy the Vietnamese coffee here. Is not bitter or overly strong and has great flavor. One size only, but wish they had a smaller cup. Service is ok, a bit slow and not the friendliest. Never tried food here, only come for the coffee. They do have board games and such for entertainment. read more

Great place to hang out grab a boba and a snack. Ordered the popcorn chicken and the cool tease drink. I liked the popcorn chicken it had some good seasoning and heat! They also have Cajun fries and rice bowls. They have an extensive menu of various drinks, I thought the Cool Tease was pretty decent, nothing to write home about, and it didn't seem like there is any drink they specialize in that would be a must get. However great place to go to satisfy a boba and popcorn chicken crave! read more

Warning- no WiFi!!! I drove all the way here to find the network not working. The cashier was helpful but the network obviously has issues. Huge waste of time coming here for work. Banh mi was good. Hi Moe, Thanks for your reply but actually it was a major inconvenience for me with almost an hour of my wasted time to work on business, which I can never get back and is valuable, working trying to figure out how to access WiFi at your location. The Wifi just didn't work at all. I contacted the cashier, who had let me know, that you have Wifi prior to arriving. To not have some form of compensation offered for my wasted time with there being no Wifi of almost have an hour, considering I went to your location specifically for the purpose of accessing the internet is disheartening. I would appreciate some form of compensation for this inconvenience considering my main purpose was to work at this Cafe, not to only try your food. read more

I came back and it was a pleasant experience. Unfortunately there was no music playing. As i mentioned in my last review the ads were just unpleasant to hear on my date. But I came here today alone. Im sorry if i made them stop playing music. Today I tried their mango perfection. No pun intended but it was perfect. Wow, coincidentally as i write this review the music starts playing again. I believe this deserves a 5 star now. I was greeted by two handsome young gentleman. read more

very nice atmosphere and ambiance there's a bunch of options for drinks to coffee and smoothies. My bf and I ended up trying their drinks from the Sugar Cane section and were both pleased! Will visit again! read more

Went on a Saturday evening. Wasnt crowded. Vibe was good, nicely decorated, board games out to play, definitely could study here. Service was okay, nothing special. We each got a milk tea with boba and thought it was pretty decent. The crawfish noodles were dry, a little spicy, though the crawfish itself was nothing to write home it was on the better end of some places I've eaten at. Good try, wouldn't get it again. I would get the crawfish fries again though. It was good, definitely filling. Though a bit pricy for a quick snack, it's crawfish. Overall would come back if I ever was in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Extensive menu list with a variety of food and drinks. DRINKS: Lychee green tea- mild green tea, with lychee jelly bits. Refreshing & sweet, a winner for me! Hangover tea- not sure why it's called "The Hangover". It's a kiwi-flavored green tea with Kiwi bits and chia seeds. Tangy, somewhat tart but otherwise, good. read more

Visiting California from New York, I have plenty of bubble tea options back home -- but I'm always excited to try something new while traveling. I'm so glad I stopped by this tea shop! They have a wide variety of drinks, but I chose the mango tea, and it was absolutely delicious. Super fresh, not overly sweet, and packed with real mango chunks -- just the way I like it. The staff was incredibly patient and friendly, offering great recommendations and letting me adjust the sweetness level to my taste. It's those little things that make a big difference. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to next time I'm in town! read more

A pleasant surprise. They offer a decent menu with a wide range of drinks to choose from as well as food options. We enjoyed our drinks and didn't have to wait too long for them to be ready. * Bubble Rain: 9/10 - nice and tart flavor * New Yorker: 10/10 - lychee jelly was a nice addition * Boba (Topping): 9/10 - soft and chewy, decent proportion We've been there twice now and both times the worker who took our order and made our drink looked grumpy. The interior is nice with a couple of booths and tables to sit at. They also offer toys and games to play with while you're there. The shop is located in a plaza with many other restaurants and shops so it should be pretty simple to find a parking spot. Give them a try for yourself! read more

GREAT POPCORN CHICKEN!!! Definitely hit the spot and satisfied my craving for boba shop popcorn chicken

Came back to this place, hoping this place improved since our last visit but it was actually worse than the first time when we visited. Approximately $32 for one cup of Rose Milk Tea (no floral aroma at all with low quality boba that has expanded which means it's been sitting for a while), bland popcorn chicken where the herbs were non-existent, and garlic Korean BBQ beef noodles where there was NO garlic. If you ask me, we pretty much got ripped off. I have no idea how this place has four stars but I'm starting to think it's all friends and family that's pumping their review rating. Save your money and go to another tea house! read more

I've been here so many times that I'm surprised I haven't written a review yet. The boba here is great with different offerings of fruit and milk tea. They also have delicious food, especially their popcorn chicken. They have a reward program that you can sign up with your phone number to earn points. Popcorn Chicken 5/5 - The chicken was crispy and tasty. It came with 2 different dipping sauces, a green sauce and a sweet and spicy sauce. Both were great to enhance the chicken's flavor, though my favorite is the green sauce. New Yorker Tea 5/5 - Fruit tea with peach, lychee, black tea, chia seeds, lychee jelly and strawberry bits. This was such a refreshing drink. What I like about the drinks here is that they're sweet tasting, but neither overly sweet nor lacking in flavor. Strawberry Smoothie 4.5/5 - A caffeine-free drink made with fresh strawberry. read more

I ordered for takeout, and will be returning in the future! I tried the crawfish scampi fried and it was delicious and loaded with the crawfish. I was surprised! I also like how it came with a small scoop of rice and the spicy green aoli sauce. Both the popcorn chicken and the fries stay crispy until I got home and ate it! Popcorn chicken also came with the green aoli, ranch, and Thai chili sauce without me even asking for any sauce which I thought was very nice. Service was nice and fast. The cafe itself is really cute and cozy and I can see how people would like studying there or grabbing some bites with friends and chitchatting. read more

Could not resist my favorite snack - Popcorn Chicken! A must-try. Delicious with Thai Basil! As much as I love Popcorn Chicken, it is not a regular daily order for me due to price - but price is similar other places. Just a personal choice. The red and green sauces are right on! I often visited Y Tea Cafe when visiting this area. They changed the interiors over the years. We used to be able to see fruit decorations, cakes, macaroons but those had been moved. Many years ago, the mango slush tasted like they had more fresh fruits, but the last couple of years, they do not taste the same. Still good but I never got the original taste of fresh fruits again. Current decors are cute and gave the outdoor garden vibes. Staff was very polite and friendly. Parking - big parking lot right in the front to park. read more

This is so good. The boba was soft and chewy, and the milk tea was great! The staff were really nice and the ambiance was beautiful. I definitely would come here again! read more

Another boba spot you need on your list to try! There is such a big variety of drinks and food! Thai green tea: A perfect blend of Thai tea and green tea. The drink is on the milkier side which is how I like my Thai green tea. The boba was soft, chewy, and fresh! If you have never tried a Thai green tea it's just Thai tea but with a slightly floral/earthy taste from the green tea. Taro milk tea: The taro had a nice balance between sweet and milky. The drink also didn't have a super artificial dark purple color. The boba was also consistent in its freshness and chewiness. Service: I have never seen this place packed so I always get my drink within 5 minutes of ordering it. Ambiance: There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The inside is always clean and they even have a few board games you can pick from. I love the floral decor and stringed bulb lights! There is plenty of parking available. Go give Y Tea Cafe a try! read more

Y Tea is one of my favorite spots to get fruit teas! This shop is located in a strip plaza, unfortunately parking can be tough during weekends. Y tea is a nice spot to hang out and chat, but I would skip out on studying here.. unless you wanna dream about the smoothie machines at night. There are wifi and restrooms for guest to use. There are various food and drinks to order from. I would stay away from the milk tea + boba as they're not as good as what you can get at other places. However, what you should try out are their fruit teas! Here are my top fruit teas: - New Yorker, I suggest adjusting this 75%, but otherwise one of my fave drink here - cool tease, not my go to, but it's basically the taste of summer in a cup - bubble rain, not super artificial tasting, well balanced. The tea is a bit light, but it's ok - hangover The food used to be good, but it's okay now, they're all hit or misses. Someday ass, someday good. The noodle dishes, esp crawfish noodles are very oily. The crawfish is dry. The popcorn chicken is good sometimes, I think what saves it for the most part is the green sauce. The garlic cheese French fries is normal, but sometimes they forget to melt the cheese so it would be like a dry slab of cheese on top of the fries. Service is normal. Like any to go spot. read more

Y Tea Cafe is a boba shop that offers food and drinks. Located in a busy plaza, it can be hard to find parking as Boiling Crab is next door. This boba shop is more of a fun hang-out place as there are games and a foosball table. I tried studying here once but it gets very loud which can be distracting. Totally not their fault. I have seen a lot of families hang out here. I like the house milk tea and the New Yorker. They have a lot of options so I always end up overwhelmed and paralyzed by my decision making. Service here is super fast and kind. Kenny always knows my order, and answers any questions I have. read more

My go-to study spot! Plenty of seating that is usually available with outlets close by. The only downside is that the booths aren't that comfortable and it can get a bit loud. They have great drinks and food though! read more

Ytea cafe is a nice spot to study at! Whenever I go there isn't a lot of people and I'm able to find a seat to study :) They do have outlets at their tables near the wall and a good amount of seating. They have wifi too. Employee's were kinda funny and they were nice. I got the Bubble Rain Signature Tea with lowered sweetness and it was good! I can taste the flavors without it being watered down. The noodles were also very tasty. The portions are good for one person, it isn't too much nor too little. The corn was perfect and their green sauce will always be a favorite of mine! read more

Chicken garlic noodles 4.2/5 - chicken was juicy, perfect bite size pieces, pretty flavorful - noodles were cooked well but could be a little more flavorful - green sauce was a good touch, had a slight kick with hints of cilantro read more

Really like the atmosphere - cafe vibes but also if you wanted to study here all day, you can eat real food too. There's some booths, a couple outdoor tables, and some bar seats looking outside as well. Mojito Cane, Cajun Crawfish Noodle, and Thai Chicken Sandwich were AMAZING. They also do 5 Star Rewards for people who come often. Staff was also friendly and helpful. read more

I didn't get to try any of their drinks but I did a phone order for two popcorn chickens. I noticed the worker was in the kitchen so it took a while for someone to help me. To be honest, the price is kind of high for the amount of popcorn chicken you get (It's about $9). The popcorn chicken was yummy but threw me off because of the price. The space is very big if you want to come hangout with friends or family; they have some games out for you to play with. Parking was extremely hard to find though. read more

Love this place because its the only place that makes Wintermelon + Sea salt cream, the RIGHT way. i dont know why other shops cant mimic that taste. anyways, not a deal breaker but i just wished this place gave reward points so we could redeem for something. read more

My mom finally decided to try this place so my mom, brother, husband, and myself all got drinks. They were on the very sweet side. We've been here twice now and I ordered Mango Perfection both times. It tasted different each time so I'm not sure how consistency will be here going forward. Overall, it's ok. The parking can be chaotic during meal times since it's right next to boiling crab. Service was quick though and it was nice and clean inside. Haven't tried any of the food but it looks good. I'll likely try this place again since it's very close to home. read more

Every time I'm visiting SoCal, I actually always go to Y Tea I've always been a fan of the popcorn chicken because it's crispy and their spicy cilantro sauce is so good and special. They also make the popcorn chicken spicy but you gotta let them know! Over the years I feel like the chicken isn't as crispy as it used to be but it's still bomb. The drinks are relatively mid -- but I never come here for the drinks. I haven't tried any of their food but I'll for sure give it a try next time read more

I enjoyed a quick snack date with my bestie and our kiddos. The drinks were delicious & the garlic noodles

I order Avocado Durian Smoothie at this place couple of times already and it has been good. Usually avocado smoothie I expect to see green color of the avocado. But this time I don't know why it looks so white. That mean they put lot more milk but not enough avocado or durian. And after tasting it, it was exactly what I thought it would be. No taste of the avocado, somewhat i can taste the smell of durian. It taste like milk blended to me.Disappointed. read more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I definitely would! This boba shop is an absolute gem and my go-to spot for everything from studying to satisfying my cravings. I usually don't do yelp reviews but rating this place was irresistible. First off, their popcorn chicken is incredible,crispy, flavorful, and always cooked to perfection. But the real showstopper is their filet mignon fries, which are out of this world. Pair them with their green sauce, and you'll never go back to anything else. The vibe here is top-notch, making it the perfect place to study with friends. Before summer hit, I'd always come here to study, snack on their finger foods, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. And about their drinks especially their Thai Green Milk Tea. Hands down, the best drink I've ever tastedIt's my go-to every time, and no other place can compare. I have a bit of a sweet tooth, so I like to add lychee jelly and request soy milk instead of the usual half-and-half. It's a game-changer, trust. The staff here are super chill and always happy to assist with anything you need. I even got to meet the owner a few times, and he's incredibly friendly. He would occasionally offer us leftover drinks because I was always there. Definitely a small gesture that made me feel very welcome Unfortunately, I'm going away for college soon and I know this is one of the places I'm going to miss the most. Whether you're looking for great food, a cozy place to study, or just a fantastic drink, this boba shop has it all. Do yourself a favor and check it out--you won't be disappointed!!!! read more

We came in for the 1st time during lunch on a Friday. There was only another guest there. The person behind the counter was nice but very quiet. He didn't say hello or greeted us but was nice. The menu was extensive so we took some time to check it out. Here is what we ordered: 01. The New Yorker Tea $4.95 - 3 Stars - Peach, Lychee, Black Tea, Chia Seeds, Lychee Jelly, Strawberry bits - It was refreshing as we asked to have less sweeter and it was better than what I imagine it would be like. 02. Thai Green Milk Tea $4.95 - 2 Stars - Their Thai Tea was very watery and did not have a traditional Thai Tea taste. It was too milky for us. I know it says Milk Tea but it was too creamy and way less Thai Tea. Well, at least we won't be staying awake with this drink, not strong enough. 03. Cajun Garlic Fries $6.50 - 2.5 Stars - We asked them to make this a little bit crispier than their normal and he was nice about it. The fries did come out perfect but he forgot the Cajun seasoning. We got crispy fries with fresh Garlic and Shredded Cheese that DID NOT melt at all. Wished it was a bit melts. 04. Popcorn Chicken $7.25 - 3 Stars - The chicken was tender and juicy but was not spicy at all. We got medium spicy as he said it would give it some heat. It really was just plain Popcorn Chicken with no hot seasoning. Had it be more spicy, this would've been really tasty. Overall good size portion and tender. 05. Garlic Noodles w/ Grilled Chicken - 3 Stars - The Noodles were not that tasty, hardly tasted the garlic. It was cooked perfect but just didn't have any flavor. The grilled Chicken was tender and peppery. It was decent together but we didn't like the green sauce it came with. The sauce was too creamy/mayo-y for us. It reminded me of the Peruvian Aji Green Sauce. LOCATION - Right next to Presotea which is really weird as both kind of offers the same menu in terms of drinks and foods. Talk about aggressive competition. Y Tea Cafe is facing Euclid. PARKING - There are tons of parking spaces during the day, I think depending what is going on at night time, it might be harder to find a parking spot. TEAs/FOODs - Their Teas are decent for the price. I liked that the tea was cheaper than what other tea shops are going for around the area. The food was okay, could just use a bit more seasonings but I guess they are safe since not everyone has the same palettes. Just customize your orders to get what you want or you might be a little disappointed. STAFF - We only had the one guy when we came in so I can't say how the rest of their staffs are. It would've been nice to have him be a little more engaging and smiled or greeted us when we came in. He was nice just way too quiet. VERDICT - I would come back to re-order the fries and Popcorn Chicken the right way and hope I'll get the Cajun seasoning on the fries when I do come back. The teas are decent so I think my kids would enjoy it. Hope they can stay in business now that Presotea is literally their neighbor. read more

The service is nice. There is plenty of options on the menu. A good place to hang out and catch up with friends. There are games to play.

Ordered the popcorn chicken as well as the shrimp and truffle fries. I don't think I've ever tasted such terrible popcorn chicken in my life. The five spice was prominent and the coating was on point but can someone explain to me why it's so sweet?? Bite after bite was just a pop of five spice which was suddenly overtaken by a huge amount of sweetness. This is not how popcorn chicken should taste like. Shrimp and truffle fries. The price for the portion paid isn't worth it in my opinion. The shrimps and fries were super crispy but I made the terrible terrible mistake of pouring in their truffle sauce and whatever the green sauce was. The sauces were nothing but sweet. Not savory at all. I had to try to remedy it by adding ketchup. I don't know if these items are supposed to be sweet or if they just messed up the day I bought them but it's totally disappointing given all the great reviews. read more

If you're looking for boba and cajun seafood, this is the place to be. The cajun crawfish noodles (4.0/5) and cajun scampi fries (3.7) were overall tasty but could've used some more flavor. Still, better than expected for a boba shop! The mango chamoy slush (4.6/5) had mango chunks and wasn't overly sweet which we liked. It's a small shop with a chill ambiance, some board games, and neat wall decorations that helped brighten the place up a bit. There's also plenty of parking (at least when we were there, during lunchtime on Saturday). 5 stars for a boba shop that has both boba and cajun seafood at a fair price and above average taste. It exceeded our expectations. read more

The shrimp truffle fries ($14.50) were kind of pricey but it was worth it, very flavorful and crispy. The New York tea ($4.95) had the right amount of sweetness with bits of strawberries and jelly.

What a cool spot to hang out with friends! I love the decor and chill vibe. The parking lot isn't too crazy, which is a plus for me. This isn't the typical boba place with just popcorn chicken and fries; there's plenty more they offer. That being said, I still decided to start off "basic" and just try the two aforementioned haha since my sister can't handle spice, I asked for the Cajun garlic fries and popcorn chicken to be mild, but there was barely the slightest kick. Now I know to go for medium. Aside from that, they still tasted fine. I enjoyed the Honeymoon, which is under their signature drinks. The worker was nice, and our two food items and 4 drinks came out within a decent time. I'd come back to try the more interesting food on the menu. So glad to stumble upon another nice place to catch up with friends! read more
