Tastea

I would 100% go again, their service is amazing, they are proficient with their work and the Tea is amazing.

Jasmine milk tea with Aloe was very refreshing. Convient to order thru app and pickup at their outdoor window. Customer service was great :) thank you.

Taste is awsome. The staff who work there are always friendly. The drinks are delicious and love the karate chicken and fries;) I love the strawberry bonanza ;)

Got a 32oz tiger sugar milk tea and a 32 oz strawberry sensation and they were both very good. Will definitely be back.

Got the watermelon heaven from here. Delicious.

Love this place. This location is new. Clean snd friendly staff. I would recommend the Oh La La and thr Peach Me Sweet Tea. On busy days parking might be an issue.

Boba fix! Esp that green boba! There isnt a drink that I dont like here and I tried most of them. The only thing I would probably suggest is 75% sweetness or less. Unless..... you have a sweet tooth like me and do 100%!!!

I loved them I wish I had them where I live and there so good plz give them try. They where so nice and good service. They some music that other places play

I've been coming for years. Great service and friendly employees. Drinks are always consistent. Not to mention, they take covid precautions seriously.

Pros: +Drinks taste great +Staff is friendly, and they will fix your drinks if it doesn't taste right. Con: The place is nearly always full.

The Thai ice tea is excellent…just right amount of sweetness.

Let me tell y’all something… Tastea had no business sliding this hard. My baby girl and I pulled up like we were taste testers for a five star lifestyle and let’s just say… we were not disappointed. I got the Lychee Peaches — fruity, cute, and minding its business just like me. My mini-me got the Caramel Craze — sweet, dramatic, loves attention… also just like me. One sip and we looked at each other like: “Ohhh so this is what elite feels like.” No cap, the drinks ate, we left no crumbs, and the straws deserve an award. Tastea… we’ll be back. Mostly because now we emotionally depend on you. 10/10 Would sip again 💅✨ Tastea on Main St, Alhambra #TasteaApproved #BaddieBeverages #MommyAndMeMoments

We did a group order of 7 drinks. I came to pick it up after conveniently getting something from Ranch 99 next door. The employee was very friendly and super helpful in putting the orders in two bags for me to carry. He was a pro at packaging them well! I put them in my car trunk and they balanced well thanks to his careful packing. I ordered the pineapple juice + passion fruit juice with lychee jelly and it was delicious!! Would def come back! Plenty of parking. Pricing is average ($6).

Cute spot. Great for kids. Love that they do party jugs with cups.

My brother and I came for drinks on a hot sunny day. We were greeted by Taylor who was very knowledgeable on her drinks in helping us decide what we wanted. As soon as our drinks were ready my brothers drink wasn’t sweet enough for him. Alec without hesitation gladly accept to make him another drink and let us keep the first drink. When my drink was ready Taylor offered me an extra drink no charge I gladly accepted. The drinks and food were amazing. The customer service alone will have be coming back here ! This will definitely be our boba spot ! Thank you Alec and Taylor for being amazing !

The staffs here are really wonderful. They do their job from their hearts, I can tell. They greet you the moment you walk in. They ask questions to make sure you get what you like. They work fast. They don't hesitate to answer your questions and treat you well. This is a great place to visit. I wish many more people would know this place.

They have a great system for ordering and pick up during Covid-19. I love that they call your name from inside and we wait outside to pick up. Ordering through their App is a breeze and we appreciate all the extras. I love that they have both Almond and Oatmilk as milk alternative options, as well as a variety of toppings, sweetness and sweeteners (yay for Stevia). I've never seen that as an option before so I definitely tried light Stevia for my Thai Matcha. We weren't prepared for the bright green Boba but makes sense because that's the Tastea coloring. (We have to be careful of food dye). Staff was great and friendly. E loved her Lightly Sweetened Thai Oatmilk with Honey Boba and Whipped Cream. So did grandpa.

Love the honeydew here, and the shrimp is on point, highly recommend, big parking lot, so there's always a spot

One of my go-to locations. Tastea has never failed me and I love the convenience of ordering my drinks in advance. It's hard to find a good boba place that meets the standards of both of my parents, so when I found the one, I can't turn my back. I'm set for life. Tastea has a variety of options ranging from coffee, tea, smoothies, etc. They can suit anyone's taste buds. My parents enjoy the Lychee Peachee and claim it to be better than their favorite drink from SunMerry. That's major props from them. I can't really say what my favorite is and really depends how I'm feeling. Some of my favorites: 1. Peachme Sweetea - It's refreshing and has real fruit, so I don't feel as guilty for all of the added sugar 2. Yummy Gummy (smoothie) - When I need a sugar high. It's super sweet, so the name doesn't lie. Truly yummy 3. Seafoam Jasmine Iced Tea - The classic that got me hooked on Tastea several years ago. Nostalgic and can't be beat 4. Strawberry Sensation - these names need no explaining 5. Ooh La La - My current favorite. I don't really like coconut but this drink is so tropical and delicious, I can't say no. I almost listed their entire menu excluding their milk teas. In addition to their awesome drinks, I love the convenience of their mobile app. I can order my drinks in advance and pick it up at the window, while also redeeming points. The hermit/introvert in me really appreciates that.

They made my wife's drink a little too strong. She was okay with it, but I told her to ask them to give her a little more milk to mild it down. They were very nice about it, gave her a small cup of milk and even apologized for not making it right the first time. Customer service attitude is greatly appreciated!

Helpful staff, great music blasting, room to sit with a few friends, and okay ($5+) prices. Cute takeout window when you order ahead! Fruit and milk teas available, but go easy on the sugar, especially for fruit. I usually get my milk tea 50% sweet but should've ordered my fruit tea as no-sweetner.

Jose and his crew are the best! Drinks are on point and the chicken and fries are really good! Not too many boba places serves food so it's refreshing to find a boba place that does. We got the classic milk tea and the lychee peachee and we loved them.

This place creates delicious tea consistently. I’ve ordered online for pick up several times over the course of 2 weeks and every time it’s exactly right. They also have a pick up window to make it convenient to order ahead.

Came in today for the first time since the Pandemic and was greeted by a super cheery associate, Angel. Most bubble tea shops have workers that are always in a rush or just trying to get through customers . It did seem a bit busy however Angel was so thorough with my order, repeated everything and was helpful with the rewards program. A+ service, that I had to rave about it. Drinks were great, however even at 50% sweetness or Medium, it was still a bit sweet for my passion tea. I’d go back for the service alone. ^_^

went in earlier for a taro milkteaa and was not dissappointed.. the owner jose was a great guy and and gave me a sample of a the horchata drink... i found my new favorite drink !!..i live in the sf valley so ill ve making it my go to place when im out this way once a week forsure !!!

The service was great. The gentleman was very helpful and patient with me while I was making my choice his suggestions made all the difference. The tea was a little stronger than I prefer but the fruit infused in it made it sweet and refreshing.

Cute place. Nice staff. I had the horchata drink it's really cute because it has cereal on top. The drink itself was ok it tasted like cereal milk with a tea after taste. The boba was soft and a little too chewy if ya ask me.

Heads up they do not share the WiFi. Tea was great- but put up a sign stating the no WiFi lol

Great places to sit and hang out with friends. I always order the drinks with less sweet, while my friend like to substitute it with stevia sweet. P.S. add your phone to the reward program so you can earn points for discount or free drink in the future.

Good drinks, nice staff, clean store, and reasonable prices. I tried the peach tea, and it was delicious. Heavenly watermelon was nice, too.

Great place to stop for a nice taiwanese tea with a twist. It is not as busy as other tea places around, and has a good selection of different favors compare to others. Only serves Togo which works out great for these pandemic times.

So many delicious choices that it's always hard to decide what to order. This place uses real taro, natural cane sugar, and organic milk. The inside is a bit small but it's really cozy and even comes with log-shaped pillows on the couch. There's also outdoor seating, which is perfect on a cool summer night. The WiFi is reliable and strong enough to reach the outdoor area. Parking is available at the Old School House garage for free the first 90 minutes then it's $2 per hour up to $6 max.

This review is only about the peach me sweetea and nothing else... Since my son introduced me Tastea I got fan of the peach me sweetea, but the last 2 week the quality has been down, the peach and strawberry bits are near to be a puree fruit, the black tea flavor is lighter, the coffe jelly is lighter too. When I star to drink the peach me sweetea I taste a strong black tea flavor, the peach and strawberry bits was little pieces and definitely I can taste really good the difference between the coffe jelly and black jelly. Also the peach and strawberry portion was been reduced. I prefer pay a little bit more but not to lose the quality for what I start to got fan of this drink. I forget to mention at the beginning I got normal ice level, now I got less ice option, so the black tea flavor should be stronger than b4.

Surprisingly hadn't tried this place out so decided to UberEATS a few drinks to try out. The drinks were all alright. Not the best I've had, but definitely not the worst still. ITEM'S ORDERED: House Special Coffee (medium sweet) Black Vietnamese Iced Coffee Flavored Iced Tea (green tea w/ passion fruit juice, light sweetness) TASTE: House Special Coffee kind of sounded like 7 Leaves house coffee & it kind of tastes like that but not as good. The coffee flavor is too dormant & it gets overly milky the more you drink it. I could not even taste the hazelnut flavor so I wonder if it was forgotten. Not a bad flavor overall, just too unbalanced & does not come together. Black Vietnamese Iced Coffee is just as described. Nice & cold & very strong. I imagine many people would find this quite strong. It's like an overly strong dark roast Americano. Not sure if it's just on the UberEATS app or if it's the same in store, but I was unable to order just an iced green tea. The green tea with passion fruit was ok. Even though I got light sweetness I still found it pretty sweet. Green tea flavor is there but it prefer it stronger. Also I do feel if the passion fruit flavor had more tartness to it, the whole drink would come together better. SERVICE, LOCATION & PARKING: UberEATS order so no direct comments on service. I like how all the drinks had a tamper evident sticker securing the cup & lid. But I do think the drinks could have all been a bag. Also, was given all boba straws even though I didn't order any boba. Maybe they ran out of regular straws. They are located in the 99 Ranch shopping center, across from the LA Fitness. Very easy to access & lots of parking. I'm not opposed to going back for the black Viet coffee or maybe to try another tea out.

Mango slushy was too watery. When I asked them to remake they refused. How ridiculous is that?!? Most tea places if the drink isn't to your liking they would remake it. Not here

Ordered online at a scheduled time and didn’t receive it till 40 min later. I ordered at 745 for an order ready at 8pm and it wasn’t ready for 840. they don’t know how to prioritize the queues and everyone else was called before us. We had a very small order also, just one drink and chicken. For the small order, it should have not taken that long.

So so.... It was really good when it first opened but less and less as time goes on. Tried one more time...... But took over 15min to get our order...And people who ordered after us got their drinks already. I asked why and the server on shrugged and walked away.... Drinks are good. Service not so much.

As a former loyal customer of Tastea Alhambra, it saddens me to have to write this review, especially during the difficult times of COVID-19 when restaurants need the support of local patrons. However, my customer service experience today was so horrible that I feel compelled to let management know this is NOT OKAY. Tastea as a chain has lost a loyal customer today, as I will be taking my business elsewhere from now on. On May 3, 2020 at 5:10pm, I made several attempts to place an online order on the Tastea website to try and support one of my favorite local tea spots. I kept getting an error message that the website was unable to accept online orders due to high volume. I decided to walk the 15 minutes over from my house to try to order in person. When I arrived, there were two other people outside the store waiting for their order. The store had placed red tape on the ground to facilitate physical distancing, however, it was not clear AT ALL where the line started or ended. I approached the table to place my order. At the same time, the supervisor on duty brought one of the waiting customers her order. The supervisor then very rudely barked at me to stand behind the red line. There were six different red lines - again not clear at all where to stand. This Tastea never really impressed me with their customer service even pre-COVID, but I let it go because I enjoy their drinks. After the other customer grabbed her order, I approached the table again and explained to the supervisor that I could not place my order online. She said that I had to keep refreshing the page every 5 minutes until it goes through because the store cannot accept cash or credit. I explained that I've been trying for the last 20 minutes from the time I left my house. She just shrugged and said "Sorry, there's nothing I can do" in the most blase/indifferent tone possible. I understand this is probably a mandate from corporate, which is not necessarily her fault, but... First of all, restaurants should not be making it HARDER for customers to support them. If you're going to require that customers order online in advance and not give stores the ability to take orders over the phone or in person, then you need to have a better back up plan when the website is down than asking customers to refresh every 5 minutes as they are standing in front of your store. There are dozens of other boba shops in Alhambra alone; no one is going to do that. There is plenty of technology out there for contactless payment; get with the times! Second, even if corporate is not setting up the store for success, the store employees (especially one with "SUPERVISOR" written on her name tag) need to be better trained to not speak to customers in such a rude way. I understand they are working in a stressful environment, but it doesn't give them license to be hostile to customers. We are still paying customers (some of us going OUT OF OUR WAY to support local businesses like yours) and should be treated with basic kindness and respect. When I was a manager in hospitality a long time ago, at times our servers would go down too. Instead of throwing our hands in the air and disappointing our customers, we would give out "Please come again" vouchers for 10% off their next visit as a way of showing our appreciation for their patronage. Even without the discount, at the very least, a sincere apology is in order. Final note to management and corporate: get on grip on your customer service if you want to stay in business.

Drove 15 minutes to store for drinks. Was in a rush and when I got home, I realized there was NO BOBA in the drink even though I had ordered it with honey boba. Good tea, very poorly organized

I was excited to come in today, this was my second time trying this place out, but after todays experience it's going to be the last. When i ordered my drink, the girl at the register had an attitude right from the beginning, and when I gave a cash tip, she didn't even say thank you nor care that I gave them money. I ordered the fries and a Banana Coffee, the fries were extremely spicy. I asked for a level 3 heat and they gave me a level 5. That was the least of it because the real issue was the drink I received. It was flooded with bitter coffee. I have had the same drink made by a different employee a few days earlier and it tasted totally different. I approached the counter to have her assist me but she noticed me and ignored me. The nice man felt bad for me for being ignored and came to help me instead. I believe perhaps he was the owner. He did a great job. The drink was still bad and horribly made but that is the girls fault. Please train your employees properly when it comes to customer service and making your signature drinks. Even though the other employee put more of the banana cream, the drink was still discarded. If it was originally made correct, there wouldn't be an issue.
