Super good milk tea. But it sucks that they take so many orders from delivery apps that customers who order at the store need to wait for more than 30 minutes. We are forced to either order at a higher price in the delivery app or waste 30 minutes for a cup of boba tea.

The trouble is that merchants are incapable of accepting orders. Don't accept orders blindly. You haven't received your meal from the time you placed the order at 2: 36 to 5 o'clock. It's a waste of time. You are crazy about making money. If you don't have that much ability, why do you show off your strength? You dare to accept any order. Hurry up and shut down, you piece of shit.

The wait for food is too long and the taste is not good. I placed an order for rice balls and couldn’t get my food for 2 hours. How can a milk tea shop be so good?

It doesn’t taste good. The pearls are very hard. The milk tea tastes terrible. I don’t recommend it.

Our new regular spot for bubble tea in the SGV. It's cheap prices. Toppings don't cost extra and the large size is only 50 cents more. Is a bit of a weight so be prepared or order in a head

The service is very poor. The staff seemed uninterested in their work and unenthusiastic about the customers. The milk tea also tastes bad, not comparable to domestic ones, and the pearls are very hard. The tea also tasted quite bland, like drinking diluted tea. The overall environment is also not good. It smells like a public toilet as soon as you enter. Completely fails to provide a comfortable or engaging environment

It was a disappointment. The service, boba quality, and atmosphere were all lacking. I won't be returning.

I ordered it for the first time to see if it tasted like memories. I took out two drinks, one of which was a big cup of boba milk tea. But why did they make me a cup of milk tea with nothing in it? If they said there was no boba, why didn't you call me or get another one? Well, I called the merchant and made 6 calls, but the phone couldn't be reached? ? ?

Nestled in the heart of San Gabriel, ALittle Tea is a relatively new boba spot that has quickly gained a reputation for its delightful offerings. What sets this place apart for me is the frosted milk tea, which has become a personal favorite of mine.

One of the most remarkable aspects of ALittle Tea is the price point. In an era where boba shops sometimes charge exorbitant prices upwards of $8 for a drink, this place takes a refreshing approach by offering their drinks for just $4. This affordability undoubtedly plays a significant role in making ALittle Tea a popular spot, attracting families and large groups who appreciate quality without breaking the bank.

While the drinks are made with non-premade ingredients, the only downside is the wait time, which can be longer compared to places that use pre-made mixtures. However, this slight inconvenience is more than justified by the freshness and taste of the teas.

Much popular during the grand opening. The same taste as what we taste in Mainland China. The price is in a great deal compared to other fancy milk tea stores in the area. The drinks are with some simple recipes as brewed tea with milk with some free toppings and some paid toppings. Personally, I prefer the four season tea latte and the black tea macchiato with ice cream. I also find that the tea jelly is great as a free topping with a little sweat inside the drink.

I recently visited with high hopes of enjoying a delicious bubble tea experience, but sadly, it left a lot to be desired. My visit to this establishment was nothing short of disappointing.

To begin with, the overall ambiance of the shop was lackluster and uninviting. No seating area, making it difficult to relax and enjoy my drink. All they have is an empty open area which was very odd.

Moving on to the main attraction, the bubble tea itself was far from satisfying. The drink lacked tea flavor, tasting watered down and bland. The boba was hard to texture with no sweetness. It seemed like it wasn't cooked properly.

Furthermore, the menu options were limited, leaving little room for customization or experimentation. And there were only two freeze drinks which couldn't be customized in any way, It was a bummer!

Additionally, the service was subpar at best. The staff seemed disinterested and inattentive, failing to provide any guidance or recommendations when asked. Some staff either only speak English or are horrible at English. Me and my friends had to ask whether we could place an order at the counter they couldn't answer us right away and had to ask some other staff.then someone who was making drinks had to wipe their hands on their shirt to come take our order.it seemed like they didn't have a cashier at that moment. Then the long wait times for my order to be prepared only added to my growing frustration.

All in all, my experience was highly disappointing.   I cannot recommend this shop to any bubble tea enthusiasts, as there are far better options available in the area.

This place is great, quality is very close to Taiwan. The milk teas are made with the same milk powder and the boba is nice and chewy. Prices are pretty incredible for LA, at around $3 a drink, you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal. Self-checkout only, and the wait can get a bit long, but worth it in my opinion.

I ordered the 4 seasons milk tea, I didn't taste any tea just sweet milk on ice. 2 stars because the milk was not bad.

I had the misfortune of visiting a little tea recently, and let me tell you, it was a complete disaster from start to finish. I can not stress enough how disappointing and frustrating this experience was, and I strongly advise you to steer clear of this boba shop if you value your taste buds and sanity.

First off, the service was abysmal. The staff seemed completely disinterested and unmotivated, exuding a level of apathy that I have rarely seen in the service industry. There was absolutely no effort made to make customers feel welcome or acknowledged. It felt as though I was burdening them with my presence, which is the last thing you want to experience when you're looking to enjoy a relaxing boba outing. On top of that, none of the staff spoke English, which made it very hard for me to order and understand them.

Moving on to the actual boba itself, I must say it was an utter disappointment. The quality of the drinks was far below average. The flavors were bland, lacking any depth or richness. It felt like they simply took a generic powder mix and dumped it into the drinks without any care or consideration. And don't even get me started on the pearls! They were hard and chewy, closer to pebbles than the soft and gooey texture one expects from boba.

Took 30 minutes for my drink, and there was only one person ahead of me. It tasted like water with powder no tea flavor at all. Also, their service was horrible. While I was waiting, I even saw a cockroach on the floor. That should have been a red flag from the go. Will not come back. I guess you get what you pay for.
