Le Arbre

I come here to study occasionally and usually order their pots of hot tea. Their menu details the benefits of their different types of tea, they refill the pots for you, there's a little candle under the pots to keep the tea warm, and it's all just so cute. After hours of studying, they also have little meals in their menu so I can refuel. Actual food that's filling! I'm only giving 4/5 stars because there have been occasions where their music is blasting and is so annoying but maybe I'm the only one bothered by it. P.S Cash Only!

Le Abre is a nicely decorated and well kept Tea place on the border of Rosemead and San Gabriel. There are two things keeping me from giving it 5 stars. The fact that it's cash only, and the horrible parking situation it shares with the other shops in the plaza. Their teas are well made. Personally I like the coffee milk tea, which isn't too sweet. They have some music going, but it usually isn't too loud. This is a good place to study, and the WiFi is decent, unless some dude is streaming videos. I like the overall vibe, it's well lit, and decorated with some interesting art pieces. Staff is friendly.

This place has my favorite honey chrysanthem tea. Their boba is good. But sometimes! Why is it a hit or miss every time I come here? Be consistent! I want to love this place. But they have problems with their boba lol. Disappointing to have nasty boba. But I always somehow keep coming here just not as much. I want to love this place but i keep getting disappointed. Everyone is so nice here.

The menu includes a wide variety of flavored teas, milk teas, slushes, and a good selection of food options. Free wifi is also a plus (just be sure to ask for their password). This place can be great for groups of 4-5 depending on the availability of larger tables, which can be wait-listed for (assuming you have ask an employee beforehand)
