Frequently asked questions about Freshwater Pavilion
Freshwater Pavilion San Marino Reviews
The Freshwater Pavilion is a wonderful addition to the Huntington Chinese Garden. The small tea house sells an assortment of Asian snacks, drinks, teas, boba, and grab-and-go food. Its location offers plenty of outdoor seating next to the garden's beautiful lake, with a view of the Suzhou-style pavilions on either side. It's the perfect place to enjoy the gardens while having a quick sip of Milk Tea.
Missed it. Come back another day
Boba tea와 여러 차를 팝니다. 물과 과자도 판매하고 있습니다. 냉장 시스템이 없어 차가 특별하게 많이 시원하지 않으나, 블랙티+brown sugar bobas 추가하면 맛있습니다.

A place to get some refreshments. They sell coffee, boba, bakery items and some snacks. No comment on snacks except for the price. More expensive than on the market, which is to be expected. The boba was average, nothing special. The plain croissant was just okay. The good thing about this place is the viewing of the lake and Chinese garden. That’s all there is to it.
Decent spot for bubble tea while visiting Huntington Library, if you catch the hours! Our favorite pit stop. Taro milk tea drink is a great caffeine-free option for the littles. Packaged and deli snacks available too. Outdoor seating only, by the lovely fish pond.

Boba and milk tea are very mediocre and quite expensive

This place is truly the definition of overpriced and mid😭. I got an Iced Thai milk tea and not only was it warm they gave me 3 pieces of ice that melted so quickly and barely made my drink cold😭. Not to mention, once I got a taste it was just not a good taste. It was truly overpriced and mid😔. Rip to the 16.68 my man spent on two drinks of iced Thai milk tea.
overpriced and mid
The staff was extremely rude to me when I walked in, ruining my trip to the Huntington. Most likely just because I look young. The cashier screamed at me to exit the other way. Zero manners, no “please” - just screaming a command. I deserve respect. This is completely unacceptable and shameful. I issued a written complaint to the Huntington management about this incident.
