3 Blossoms Cafe — Restaurant in Westminster

To start off, the location is really hard to find. Like, it's located in a run down plaza, but you can't see the shop unless you decide to take a stroll onto the corner of Bolsa and ward.

Luckily, once you find this place, it's like a little haven. I was greeted warmly by two of the workers and was given free samples, along with background info on their teas. They were so polite and attentive, I was able to try a lot of samples of their signature teas.

Ambience: 5 the shop is clean and comfortable to sit down in and talk to your friends or do homework

Customer service: 5 They are a bit understaffed for rush hours. but when I came,the cashiers were so attentive and were there to answer all of my questions, since the teas were not too common

Drinks: 5 I ordered an immortality tea with lychee juice (nothing artificial!) and it was the perfect level of sweetness, since i was able to still taste the tea and appreciate the flavor of lychee

Overall: 5 I am definitely coming back here in the future whether that be for a meeting, hang out, or...

I’ve tried hundreds of boba shops but there are only two places I get boba from if I have a choice, and this is definitely one of them! Been going to this place for years and it never disappoints, even after Jackie took over the business after his uncle (who was the most passionate man talking about tea I’ve ever met).

The peach-ginger guayusa tea with lychee and passion fruit jelly is my incredible go-to and you can tell she makes her drinks with quality, fresh ingredients. Please support this small business if you’re in the area! They had a hard time through and after the pandemic and the owner is super sweet, tailors your drink to your taste and anything she recommends is amazing.

She does have an autoimmune disease so sometimes the shop isn’t open when you would really like it to be because you need your 3 Blossoms boba fix but that’s totally understandable and I will be coming back here week after week 💛

So check their Instagram or call just to make sure they’re open.

I haven’t had it in years but the blueberry matcha was...

if owned a tea shop it’d look like this: my living room! lol. I’d bet Japan has low-key cozy spots like this. And the host is mathematical!

at the time I went, the place looked like it was being renovated, with half of it as storage / cleaning supplies. Fish tanks def lacking some love. Maybe spring cleaning coming soon..?

prices are steep at $7-8 per drink. The main problem for me is that the drink selection is restricted to a few unpopular teas, so if, like me, you don’t like matcha, this might not be the spot for you too. :/ I went with the Guayasa because i was coming off a sickness… it was ok.. Like a herbal tea in warm milk you’d made yourself at night. I was only able to drink a little, and the rest the next day.

the nearby Factory Tea covers the standard fares and more, but...
