The Boba Kafe — Restaurant in Montclair

A few days ago, my friend told me about this new place in Upland. Let me say it’s a nice little hidden gem and I’m glad it only a stone’s throw away from my place.

After living in Taiwan for the past decade, I’ve grown accustomed to the vibrant tea culture that infuses daily life across Asia. Finding a spot that brings back those memories is no small feat, but this small boba tea shop manages to do just that.

The fruit teas here are nothing short of refreshing, with flavors that are perfectly balanced—not too sweet, not too tart. They capture the essence of fresh, ripe fruit, and the boba is just the right texture, giving a satisfying chew with every sip.

One of the highlights for me was the dessert in a cup, the Mongo Creme. It's a delightful blend of creamy, tropical flavors that feel indulgent yet light—a perfect complement to the teas.

The shop itself is a haven of minimalistic design, inspired by the Japandi aesthetic, with bright all-white walls and light-colored wood accents that create a serene and airy atmosphere. The ambiance is calm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for local college students to study, for couples to enjoy a quiet date, or for someone like myself to get some work done.

The staff here are fantastic—friendly, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. They truly go out of their way to ensure that every visit is enjoyable.

Whether you're looking for a place to relax, study, or just enjoy a refreshing drink, this boba tea shop is a gem worth...

If I had to some up this boba Kafe in a single word.. that word would be WOW!

I rated plenty of establishments in my time but by far this place has to be the most immaculate kept facility Ive ever been to.

The pristine white decor and seating area just exudes elegance for those looking for a spot to take a date and enjoy an exemplary exotic boba tea. The restrooms are no far from perfectly kept as well, which says a lot about the cleanliness of any establishment.

Tonight I took my family hear for a special treat along with our beloved family pet, a 1 year old terrier mix. Honestly I was expecting to be asked to leave because of the dog but NOPE.. we were greeted with a warm welcome, kind attitude and friendly smiles. Perfect example exemplary service.

The Boba tea's made hear are a work of art and at first glance I thought my cup had a printed graphic on it. To my surprise all the beautiful swirling colors was the actual drinkb sitting in a clear cup.. just amazing!!

Each of my two kids along with my wife were thrown back by how delicious our tea's were and had each of us sampling one another's drink... lol. The prices are very fair and to be honest I was expecting to pay $10 per drink. I was shocked to see $23 for four substantially sized drinks of this caliber.

If your in the market for a new experience and love boba tea as much as well do you have to give this place a try.. you won't be...

Love, LOVE, this place! My new, to-go Boba tea spot. The customer service? Excellent. Environment? Welcoming. And lastly, the boba? exponential! I always go here for the matcha and every time it hits. I recommend the Matcha Espeiner(can’t spell it.) Some pluses include a calm, working space environment for study sessions and as well, provided by the establishment, some card and board games to use there! 10/10...
