I tried their San Gabriel location so came here while I was nearby for some boba. The parking lot is a bit small but we managed to find parking. It was pretty full inside when we came but there was no line to order. They have a good amount of tables and a nice ambience for sitting and chilling with friends.

I can taste something but it was not guava flavor, it had this weird taste that I, personally, did not like. It didn't have that guava fragrance at all.
I asked if I can change the drink, because I didn't enjoy it and they were very kind about that. I got a mango green tea instead. Even though the mango was not the best, it was still better tasting than the guava. The mango was definitely not a puree, it was a syrup (a very artificial syrup) and while you can taste the tea -- it wasn't good. it didn't have that golden...
