Tea Bar

yes, yes… I came back to try the shaved ice like I said I would on my previous review. Deeeelicious! The thick toast w/​condensed milk was very good too. I wanted it to be toasted a little more but it was still good.
Also the first time I tried their Taro Milk Tea. They use real taro and not powder and that was really good too.
Everything I’ve tried here by far has been really delectable. Next, I’d like to try their cooked food. That’s if I can resist eating at Kyochon next door.

I swing by this place after dropping off my relatives back home. I actually was craving for something warm or hot. I never really take a good look of this Yes Plaza so I drove in and check to see what’s around.
I saw this Tea Bar store and wanted to check out so I park my car and came in. It’s a rather small place w/​«B» rating. I thought. ugh, okay. it’s still a «B» so shouldn’t be that bad, plus Asian place seem to be hard to get «A» ratings. This place isn’t big, only a few tables on the side of the cash register and in the front. and they have a join door with the next door merchant, KyoChon Chicken. which I also heard a lot about, AH. I gotta come back to this plaza soon so I can try it too.
I flip around the menu and see what they have. what catch my eyes is their shaved ice. oh wow. they are sounds really good and looks DELISH on the menu, I make a mental note to come back and try them soon. and soon flipping to the page of some hot drink.
I order a Pudding Milk Tea with Boba. my order was ready in 5 mins, and the tea is actually very good. this place soon moved to my «To Keep» list on my mind. The pudding is so good, it’s smooth, soft and melt in my mouth w/​out any chewing. boba is just the right chewiness and the milk tea is very Taiwanese style. love it!!! AH. I’m coming back NEXT week!!!

Get at least a group of 3 – 4 people. Get the Japanese Green Tea shaved ice. It’s HUGE and comes with 4 big scoops of green and red beans as well as this magical ice flavored slushy of green tea. It’s almost like ice cream but… not. It’s just magical and I was way too happy to eat it.
For drinks, orange flavored green tea is da bomb. No doubt. For something sweeter, passionfruit green tea is good too but quite sweet.
They get stingy about their buy 1 get 1 free coupon. You’re only allowed to use it once and when you do, they make you write down your name, bday, and email address and then take a picture of you with the coupon. How they regulate it, I do not know but it cracks me up.

THis place has the BEST SHAVED ICE i have ever tasted. i ususally dont like the shaved ices that just have fruit like guppies. they are so bland and not that delicious. but at tea bar they have more extravagant flavors and toppings. the morrocan is my favorite. kind of a coffee taste. this is no longer located at the second floor top of the building at the corner of colima and fullerton. nbut rather in the very corner of yes plaza. near kyo chon
that’s the new location

Great hang out spot for groups or just a couple. Their shaved ice is really good, big, and inexpensive. They give you paper on your table to draw on with crayons and there are games.

This place, found on the 2^nd floor of a corner building, is open til 2 on Fridays and Saturdays. 1AM during weekdays.
They serve good-​sized meals for $ 5. I’v eonly ever tried their Chicken with Rice and it was just ok. But then it balances out because the drink was very good (I recommend the Hazelnut Coffee with Regular Boba).
The atmosphere is friendly, a new place to hang out at. They leave crayons on the tables for customers to write on the white table cloths (which are actually paper). They keep playing cards and board games by the cashier for customers to use.
It has a bar-​y feel, ergo «tea-​bar,» sometimes they even have live DJs (i think). Provides outside seating as well.

Shaved ice with loads of different toppings you can choose from. The portion is huge. I seriously wanted to try it but hubby and I looked at it (after we’d already patronized 2 restaurants) and decided we’d better leave it for next time. It was only about $ 5 for this ginormous bowl of shaved ice.
Lil guy wanted some smoothie juicy drink so he chose the strawberry peach slushy. It was pretty good. Would’ve been better if they had used frozen peaches or fresh peaches instead of canned peaches.
