The boba is super delicious. The drink is a bit of pricy compare to other trees place. But overall taste is fine. They serve with fresh dairy.

Nice place to study! drinks are decent and workers are very nice

Cashiers are friendly. I read good reviews about Hokkaido milk tea and Hokkaido green/ black tea (milkstache). I often have trouble making decision, so I asked the cashier for recommendation. He told me that the green tea is lighter, and I should go for the milk tea if I like something that is stronger. I took his recommendation and ordered a Hokkaido milk tea with grass jelly.I believed the proportion of the milk is more than the tea. It tasted more like milk than tea. However, it is not too bad overall. It would be better if the tea base is a bit stronger.

Long version - A new gem in the heart of old Pasadena. This place has some of freshest tasting tea drinks I have had outside of Asia! Im usually disgusted by the run-of-the-mill asian tea places where you get overpriced drinks made with powder and artificially flavored syrups. I could tell this place use REAL TEA LEAVES! Thats very rare. We ordered the Cheese Mousse Pu-erh tea and Green Jade Fruit Melody were very very impressed with the flavor and texture. The decor is bright and chic. Theres selfie corner for those who are into that... AKA wives and gfs -__-

Get the milk green tea! It’s so amazing! I m not a big fun of boba. But I love Agar! The crystal boba! And it matches my milk green tea! Love love love it!The rose milk tea is a bit sour taste for me, so I recommend to order half sugar. It might help with it.Hokkaido coffee, sounds interesting but it’s really delicious!I want try taro next time! Haha

Honey boba milk tea thing was good

I got the winter melon milk tea and the grapefruit green tea. The winter melon milk tea is good. I WOULD NOT order the boba. Its unpalatable.

If you want solid drink in the area then I would highly recommend try this place. Their delivery in term for good quality drink and price is fair !

Friendly staff and manager! They have a wide selection of drinks on the front and back of the menus they have at the counter.I ended up getting an iced coffee to save for the next morning. They got free WiFi, a lot of seating, and I found parking easily on a Sat evening.

Kind people, great tea & good vibes. I love this place!

I post mated drinks from here and they brought me the wrong order... I called NEST and they told me to come in for my original drinks free of charge, even though it was not there fault... The drinks are very good and I think are at a reasonable price.Great service and very nice staff!

The drinks are amazing. First time here ordered the peach slush 100% recommended

Reasonably priced and tasty. I recommend their Hokkaido milk tea.

Love their teas! Rose milk tea and regular black milk tea are my favorites. I recommend half sweet and light ice (:

I love boba here a lot because its always chewy, flavorful, and sweet. My addiction here is green tea, but their milk tea also very good, and I would highly recommend.

Super quick service. Positive vibes. And the Hokkaido milk tea (w/boba) is BOMB.Its got a much silkier, almost a coconut-ty flavor to it in comparison to the typical milk tea.5/5 - would DEFinitely visit again and suggest to others

This is cool place, Great drinks so far and they are always consistently good. Ive been trying a new drink each time. My taste bud is a bit sensitive so I would get half the sweetness and taste perfect.

Delicious teas! Everything is freshly made and theres a good selection. Love drinking their almond milk tea and green teas!

Cozy atomosphere and variety of milk tea. Especially their earl gray milk tea is really good.

Good drinks, staff is always nice, decent prices

Its a young kids hangout. you go there to drink and talk with friends or to study. it has that kind of vibe. they dont serve snacks or food, only drinks and there is a minimum amount for you to sit inside ($3.40 or so I think it said?)the drinks themselves are pretty good. not anything outstanding but like I said you go here to study or to have a small chat with your pals.

Good late night boba find. Loved being able to use the yelp check in and also collect a punch card. Lots of parking especially late at night.The boba was perfect soft and chewy. My tea was lightly sweetened for real, as well as my kids. Would definitely come back if we are in the area even during the day. We came in late at night and chose this place because it was one of the few still open.

4.4? More like 5 stars and nothing short of it. Best tea in all of Socal.

What I Ordered- Hokkaido Milk TeaDo NOT order the Hokkaido milk tea from here unless you want a cup full of sugar. Yes, everyone that walked in there ordered the same thing and seemed to enjoy it. Id rather go to T-Bay. Maybe I just ordered the wrong type of Hokkaido drink. Limited seating. Kudos to free wifi. Their password is their phone number.

Probably the most consistently good night Ive had

It was cool. Drinks were decent and was able to find a seat with a plug but only because a couple left about 5 mins acter I got there. Like it that they are open late though. Got real noisy from 8-10 pm mostly college students in groups pouring in.

Good boba and good ambiance, but when people smoke directly in front of a no smoking within 20 feet sign thats when you have to leave.

The menu is diverse enough that there are plenty of options but not so dense where youre too overwhelmed to choose. Drinks can be adjusted on sweetness levels and are generally ready to pick up rather quickly.Only gripe would be lack of seating during peak hours as most of the customers are students who enjoy studying inside.

The almond milk tea was a little sweeter than I ordered it, but everything else was stellar! 👌

My go to spot in the SGV. Pearls is the best but this place is the best thing that doesnt require a trip out to Dowmtown

A little hidden gem. The thai tea is great and the boba is good and chewy

Good vibe on entry. Smells nice. ^_^ good variety on menu. Quaint.

I give their Hokkaido Green tea, Hokkaido Milk tea and Rose green tea a 10/10. The tea and rose flavors for these drinks are really strong. I give their matcha milk tea a 3/10 because you cant taste the matcha flavor at all! I give their Red Bean milk tea a 7/10. The texture is a little grainy.

I like there tea and its a kool place too chill have drinks with friends and meet people thumbS uP on this spoT.

Best tea in the area no doubt, but that girl at the registar is super rude. so lazy to the point that a simple gesture of helping the customer throw away the plastic wrap of the straw cant be done. Shed actually TELL ME where the trash can is so I can walk there and throw away the plastic wrap, while there is a trash can right beside her behind the counter. ridiculous.My suggestion:1. If you are this lazy, provide a small cup on the counter for the plastic wrap like what chatime and coco do, or install a trash can below the counter with an opening on the countertop like what starbucks do, or ask the other staffs to peel the wrap of the straw before you serve the drink like what jamba juice do.2. if you hate your store so much and decides to impose your obnoxious negativity on a regular customer, maybe just stay home and let the other staffs run the show, they are lovely.

One of the best milk tea shops around. Worth trying their signature Hokkaido Milk Tea, very good!

My new go to place. Love the hokkaido green tea. Has the proper amount of froth. Hard to find but definitely recommended.

Awesome staff and yummy drinks! Also, you can adjust the sweetness and the drinks are usually consistent.

Very good tea

This place is cozy, parking lot is spacious, will visit again when I am in the area.

First time finding chrysanthemum tea since my visit to the east 😀 Always neat and always refreshing.

A hidden gem next to the plaza with Big Lots. Its brightly lit and has some tables for people to hang out or work on stuff. My favorite drinks are either the green milk tea or taro milk tea. It also has free wifi. :)

Unique and delicious tea. Excellent staff

Great selection of teas although I wish they had more to offer for coffee.

Such a Hidden gem !! Good quality tea and boba👍

Went here to grab boba with a friend. I live in SoCal and we have tons of great boba places in the LA + Orange County area so normally I dont comment on boba shops but the Nest in Arcadia stands out.If you are a 20-something looking for a place to hangout with lots of other younger people or if you want to study/relax with your friends I honestly cant imagine a better place in all of Southern California (and Ive been to lots of cafes, coffee shops, boba shops).- Open late + free WIFI!- Huge menu of boba, milk tea, slush, coffee, all customizable- Lots of customers, shop is packed throughout the day and seems to be almost all younger people in their 20s- Parking is not a problem

Good service, good milk tea, a bit of a wait, lots of seating, but yet not much available.

Definitely either a hit or miss type of place. This was my first time coming, by the way.The boba is great and the atmosphere itself is relaxing. Both the music, decor, and the tables mesh together well. The tea, on the other hand, was the hit or miss portion. The tea can be very good (rose is my recommendation with less sugar) or very bad (stay away from the matcha milk tea.) I ordered the matcha milk tea and I could tell the matcha was very low quality. The drink itself tasted like slightly flavored water with sugar and a hint of an attempt at matcha. If possible, order something aside from the matcha milk tea.

Great boba place. A bit too loud to study in my opinion but friendly environment and staff

Decent place to work. Alright boba and milk tea.

I seriously did not realize what I was missing until I took my first sip of the Hokkaido Milk Cream (milkstache) tea at Nest. Its that good. I cant believe Ive gone for so long without their Hokkaido milk cream green tea in my life.Nest Tea House is a small and cozy new tea place in Arcadia on Las Tunas Drive. Although there isnt a large sign advertising their soft opening, there seems to be a steady stream of customers who come in and out, speaking to the credibility of their tea! Nest is located in the plaza right next to Big Lots, next to a hair salon. There may not be parking in the front lot, but simply keep driving past the tea house into their back lot for additional parking. Storefront is super clean and simple. The decorations that they do have all seem to tie back to the theme of a warm place to go to if you want to study or relax.Ive already been to Nest several times, and always leave with a very good impression. The workers are all super friendly and eager to help you find your perfect drink. Theyre pretty active on social media, so be on the lookout for special deals and promotions.My favorite drink hands down is their signature Hokkaido Milk Cream Green Tea. Ive been going to 85 for boba since the quality at Tbay has gone down, but Im happy that I can get my boba fix at Nest! The price is pretty affordable compared to other tea houses, and I love that you can taste the quality and freshness of their teas in their drinks. The green tea isnt too sweet or bitter, but really has a pure and authentic tea taste - not powdery at all. And drinking it with the cream gives it a sweet aftertaste at the end. Seriously cannot compare sea salt cream to Hokkaido milk cream because the Hokkaido is so much sweeter (and probably much more fattening) and tastier! You can pretty much save the cream at the end and just eat it like ... whipped cream. Its that good. Their boba is also always on point. The perfect consistency and chewiness. Love that it has a good sweetness to it that doesnt detract from the tea taste.Boba milk tea is also really good. My dad rates tea places based on this simple drink, and he thought the boba milk tea from Nest was really good. Had a good amount of sweetness to it, although there probably could have been a bit more tea flavor. I thought it was just the right amount of sugar in it for me.Almond milk tea with pudding - another favorite drink of mine! While I think the almond is probably from powder, the drink was really good and didnt have any of that powder residue taste at the end. Its a bit on the sweet side, but if youre a fan of almond milk tea, I highly recommend it!Ive tried the thai tea and the sea salt cream green tea. I thought the thai tea was standard. Its not a favorite of mine, but the taste was on point. The sea salt green tea was good, but my friend mixed the entire drink so it ended up having a more salty aftertaste, which I wasnt too fond of.There are a good number of tables and outlets in Nest that makes for a good study spot. They probably do need a few sunshades, especially with summer approaching, but overall, a really nice place to relax, study, or catch up with friends.tl;dr - Highly recommend the Hokkaido milk cream green tea. Already craving the drink as Im writing this review. Will be back to try their other teas!

The best quality for the price. Ten Ren used to be my fav deposited how expensive it it but nest has overtaken that by a long shot.

Definitely depends on what you get would make your experience worth it or not. Background wise I love boba and have been to a lot of shops trying different drinks.For todays visit I went here again for another drink. I ventured to get their matcha and rose green milk tea. Both I usually get at half sugar since I want to taste the tea aspects of the drink and not only the sweetness.Once both my drinks came out I took a sip of each. The matcha drink definitely would not make me come back again. It was not blended well into the drink and I had clumps in it. However, the Rose Green was to die for! I had the Hokkaido last time and absolutely loved it!Pro tip: Be wary of the matcha, or have them make it well. Rose and Hokkaido on point! Also Yelp check in for a discount is a plus!

Had Hokkaido Green Tea with Boba, half ice half sugar. Taste great.

Cozy place, but will getting pack by night

Tea tastes great, has more of the tea tastes I like, unlike some other places that overpowers with sugar or water.

Great drink variety!

Fun space. Great drinks.

They use non dairy milk in their milk teas, put a healthy amount of boba, and you can pick the sweetness of your drink

I love their Hokkaido milk tea

Great service, Thai tea, boba, and ambience! :)

Iced Hokkaido Coffee is delicious here!

Fresh tea with a chill vibe to work on stuff.

Tasty drinks and plenty of parking!

Great boba tea
