Tastea Alhambra

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 !

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

One of my go-to locations. Tastea has never failed me and I love the convenience of ordering my drinks in advance. Its hard to find a good boba place that meets the standards of both of my parents, so when I found the one, I cant turn my back. Im set for life. Tastea has a variety of options ranging from coffee, tea, smoothies, etc. They can suit anyones taste buds. My parents enjoy the Lychee Peachee and claim it to be better than their favorite drink from SunMerry. Thats major props from them. I cant really say what my favorite is and really depends how Im feeling. Some of my favorites: 1. Peachme Sweetea - Its refreshing and has real fruit, so I dont feel as guilty for all of the added sugar 2. Yummy Gummy (smoothie) - When I need a sugar high. Its super sweet, so the name doesnt lie. Truly yummy 3. Seafoam Jasmine Iced Tea - The classic that got me hooked on Tastea several years ago. Nostalgic and cant be beat 4. Strawberry Sensation - these names need no explaining 5. Ooh La La - My current favorite. I dont really like coconut but this drink is so tropical and delicious, I cant 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.

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. ^_^

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 shouldve ordered my fruit tea as no-sweetner.

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.

So many delicious choices that its 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 its really cozy and even comes with log-shaped pillows on the couch. Theres 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 its $2 per hour up to $6 max.

Great flavor, even with the adjustment with of the sugar level. I got the bootea shaker with 25% sweetness and it was perfect for me. You can swap out the toppings if it comes with one for free which is great cause i dont like grass jelly and was able to swap for peach bits. Got the karate chicken, i got the mild but wild and i think the batter of the chicken has some spice cause i could taste a little kick. It was so good, just a bit on the salty side tho (didnt stop me from inhaling it like kirby tho). Plenty of parking, staff was helpful and friendly!

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.

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). Ive never seen that as an option before so I definitely tried light Stevia for my Thai Matcha. We werent prepared for the bright green Boba but makes sense because thats 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.

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 Ive been trying for the last 20 minutes from the time I left my house. She just shrugged and said Sorry, theres 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 youre 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 doesnt 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.
