Tea Brick — Restaurant in Monterey Park

Service is usually friendly. Sometimes not. -Drinks- The sea salt foam is thiccccccc They recommend to have it with Jasmine Milk Tea. It tastes really good w/ any plain tea!

I like how they give you free bottles with your drink! Cute winter themed one too! I now have a stash of these bottles at home thats I’m going to repurpose for crafts or something.

The Christine and Vanessa are refreshing. Fresh fruit on the bottom. Some of the drinks say “with green tea or black tea” which is nice but that means you have to be careful when you order and request to sub it with your preference. I love the Kangnam tea with basil seeds! This is one of the few boba spots that actually had basil seeds! Their Thai tea is also bomb! Really creamy and good flavor! The bf loves the Christine and Guava Lava. Pretty much all the teas here are good! Minus the one that had maraschino cherries and the green apple flavored one. Besides that- I think everything tastes good!

Their teas are def strong in flavor and a lot of times-bitter.

75% sweet is the sweet spot.

-Seating- The shop is rather narrow so the seating area can be tricky to navigate- especially when ppl are all waiting in a hub around the pick up area. Otherwise, plenty of tables. We usually come during the day and there’s always a table open.

-Parking- There’s a lot in the back. Sometimes we do street parking when we don’t wanna deal...

Tea Brick is a small tea shop committed to quality and fresh ingredients. They're located on a small plaza on Garvey ave on Monterey Park. Interior design is simple with exposed red brick through out the store. We came to check their boba tea and other food items. I delved into the plethora of drink tea and food snacks on their menu. What caught my attention was their adorable one size 24oz drink reusable container. Similarly, the wide variety of topping add ons: Honey boba ($.60), honey sea salt ($.85), lychee jelly ($.75), aloe vera ($.85) and fruit bits ($.85). We ended up ordering the Peach Mojito tea boba and Condense Milk and Caramel Brick Toast. Peach Mojito was good and refreshing with mint leaves and limes. Moreover, the black honey pearl boba was chewy, soft and perfectly sweet. The only Cons were that their bottle container does not have a hole for your straw unless you open the lid and its expensive ($7+) price. I expect a bigger size for that prize just like other tea shop I have been to. The CM & Caramel Brick Toast was served with fresh strawberries, mangoes and vanilla ice cream; the toasts were caramelized on top but soft and fluffy on the inside. Staff was amiable and professional. They're wearing mask per health protocol. Free parking available on the rear lot and wifi. Overall, we had a good boba and snack and take...

《Parking》 This café is located on a busy street with very minimal to no parking. Whenever I came here, I would park couple blocks away from the shop because there wasn't a parking close by and because of the certain parking signs.

《Atmosphere》 Inside the café is very small, kind of crampy being in there. There's a few tables to sit at, but it's too small of an area to sit and chill. They also have a small separate pick-up window--which I thought was a cool concept--to pick up your order at, rather than picking up at the same place you order.

《Drinks》 I have only tried the Christine, Vanessa, and Yummee Peachee Lychee; they're all different types of fruit teas with fresh chopped up fruit and with a green tea base. If you want to make them into a slushie, I believe it'll cost an extra $1 The Vanessa : (Strawberry and peach flavor green tea with fresh strawberries and lychees) The Christine : (Strawberry, mango and passion fruit flavor green tea with fresh strawberries and mangos) Yummee Peachee Lychee : (Peach and lychee flavor green tea with fresh peaches, lychees and lychee jelly)

My favorite out of these three would probably be the Christine. I just really like the strawberry and peach flavors combined; and would always get the least amount of sugar with...
