Yifang Taiwan Fruit Tea - San Gabriel, CA — Restaurant in San Gabriel

UPDATE 12/8: Ordered through Uber Eats and got the Mango Crystal Latte, Green Plum tea, Red Bean Sago Latte. Got all of them in large size.

I was really looking forward to trying these drinks since they looked good in their photo but I was disappointed. The mango crystal latte was not too bad but I didn't really like the crystal jelly. The mango tasted authentic and fresh though. But next time I would just get the Mango Sago Slush and not this. I'll give it a 3/5.

The green plum tea was very sour so I couldn't even finish it. This was my first time trying plum tea so I didn't expect the sourness. Definitely not ordering it again. So I give it a 3/5 too.

The Red Bean Sago latte was just like the name, milk with red bean and sago. It was nothing special but it didn't taste bad, just as you would expect it. It is overpriced for what it is though and I wouldn't order it again. 3/5

Overall I think I just chose bad drinks to try since they all didn't taste as I thought they would. Next time I would order something more safe and familiar, like the Mango Sago Pomelo or a Sea Salt tea. Got the Yi Fang Fruit Tea (4.99), Azuki Sago Latte (4.99), and Snowy Strawberry Blossom drinks. The azuki sago was pretty okay since I got it with 50% ice. The fruit tea was mostly pineapple flavored but it was good too. There also wasn't a long wait for the drinks because it was raining. The prices for the drinks are a bit overpriced for what they are which is why I opted for a...

My love of tea happened years ago in Taiwan. Yifang brings me straight back to that moment! Every visit warms my heart and sends my taste buds to Taiwan!

For me Yifang is the standard for all teas and bobas and the bar is set so high. They use fresh fruit, organic sugar cane and all natural ingredients. You can tell from the flavors that your drink does NOT come from a flavored powder.

I usually visit their Irvine location but I was in San Gabriel so I stopped in. It is a small store, like the Irvine location. You can order from the kiosks or from the employee at the front. The service is very pleasant and helpful. While they are not the fastest, because they are not mixing powders, the couple more minutes is well worth the wait!This place was booming and everyone was more than happy as they walked away with their order.

I ordered:

Lychee green tea with lychee jelly Yakult peach green tea Brown sugar boba matcha latte Taro green tea latte Pineapple with almond jelly

I say if you are near a Yifang location give them a go! They may be where your...

Stopped by en route home after work while searching for nearby boba places for quick takeout. This shop is found inside a busy strip mall along with lots of other food shops.

Parking: * can be crowded since it's always packed in the strip mall - parking lot isn't that big with two rows making a U on entry and exit

Service: ** fairly quick - order from the counter and they take credit card drinks came out under 10 minutes and there were 2 customers ahead of me

Ambience: * small shop with side benches for waiting

Drinks: * I tried their After 6p boba milk tea special: BOGO for $7 and change - good pricing though * VERDICT : 70% sugar was not enough even compared to other boba places reduced sugar tastes better they give you SO much boba - like 45% off the drink was boba - probably to get rid of boba after 6p?

I'll probably go back to try out other drinks to see if there's any...
