    So cute! My husband and I enjoyed this small and cozy tea place. 🙌 The Matchacchino is perfect! The Chicken Provolone panini is simple but with flavor. The staff encouraged us to try their free samples of the seasonal loose teas and very helpful with what was included in menu items. Thank you!

    I have frequented this business for over a year now and have to give them 5 stars, more if I could. The owners are very kind, helpful, patient and willing to answer any questions you may have. They have a huge selection of teas and other drinks to choose from and their food is equally as delicious. They are willing to go the extra mile for their customers and that's a rare find these days. I highly recommend stopping by and having a cup of tea and more.

    I LOVE this place. It is family run and they remember their customers. They make the best iced jasmine green tea. They are careful to time the steep time and the temperature of the water so it doesn't get bitter. So, so good! That's my favorite. They have so many options. I have tried their sandwiches as well. They have been delicious. You can tell they have a loyal customer base.

    One of my favorite lunch + boba tea spots! I would go here at least once a week when I was working in the area. Their “Flaming Bird” sandwich is TOP-NOTCH!!! And I’m a huge fan of their selection of teas to choose from! The staff is also extremely friendly and accommodating. Even though I no longer work in the area, I still go out of my way to treat myself to a nice lunch there when my time allows it!

    Located in the shopping mall in Monrovia with a Trader Joe's, Kohl's, a Chili's, and Panera, the Loose Teas has an excellent variety of teas to buy in bulk. They make fresh brewed teas to drink on the premises along with very good, generously filled sandwiches or salads. If you like London Fog they make the best we've had.

    One of the finest tea shops in the L.A. area and the best i have been to in the San Gabriel valley. It is a part of the tea room directory as one of the top 5% rated tea shops. The quality of the tea at this store is much better then you will fined at the more well know chains where teas can be purchased. Instead of focusing on Random odd flavors that many shops do, they focus on balanced flavors and highest quality ingredients of classic teas. They also have excellent sandwiches for those looking to get some food as well. I cannot recommend this place more highly to tea lovers.

    Can I just say, "LOVE THIS PLACE!" The drink selection is extensive and sweetener, milk type and ice can all be adjusted as the attentive owners always ask how we prefer our tea, or coffee even. The BEST CHAI I have tasted too!! They have a large selection of loose teas for purchase and the owners knowledge of tea is impressive! I have not bought tea bags from the market in over 3 years since coming here. Their shop has a nice selection of tea canisters, steepers, mugs and tea pots too in case you need an item or are looking for a gift.

    Great place. Friendly and helpful staff. Helped me out with picking out a tea flavor for me. Price was decent too. Very clean place. You can buy tea plants and tea sets as well. I got a 4oz English tea leaves. They have bigger sizes as well.

    The Loose Teas Cafe is such a great spot here in Southern California. Not many tea cafes that do it like they do. Simple and welcoming. Enter and you're greeted by the tea wall sectioned by Black, Green, Mate, White, Herbal, and Rooibos. Right above it a directory of how to go about placing your order, real simple after your first time here. A big screen tv captures your attention while you wait for the tea to brew because here your tea isn't sitting out for minutes or hours ready to be poured, oh no. Here, they brew it on the spot, no fancy-shmancy devices or appliances, the good old fashioned way, let it steep and brew and it's worth the wait because they know how to brew and care for tea to produce the notes of the tea consistently. Hot or cold I have enjoyed all the teas I have drank here. Having a place like this helps me transition from coffee to tea a lot easier and in a simple, cost-effective way (since they sell all the teas in bulk as well). Oh, and don't forget to look at all their mugs and kettles, you might find a nice gift for that tea lover in your life.

    Great customer service! Delicious teas with a huge selection! And good sandwiches (they have squaw bread, which is sweet bread)!! Came on a rainy day with a friend and we had a great time catching up in this little cafe-vibe restaurant. Their pineapple passionfruit green tea is SO GOOD and sweet!! They have a Tuna All The Way sandwich and it is really good (the guac is yummy)!! I will definitely come back and tell more people about this place! My friends told me about it as well.

    I’ve been coming here for years. I love that it’s family owned. It’s one of the best boba spots in SGV the tea is natural and never tastes artificial like some places. Everyone needs to come here.

    I never leave reviews for places, but the atmosphere, food, service, and respect your shown is hands down amazing. Came here on a whim with my partner, and we have been coming back ever since! Extremely inviting and calming atmosphere, with great food and tea :)

    Friendly, fast, huge selection! They have different teas by the register to try that are rotated frequently 🍵 They have options for sandwiches if you want to grab a quick lunch 🥪 They have lotto tickets, if you want to try your luck 🤞 And they also have tons of amazing gift options, I bought a tea set for a relative awhile ago and they loved it ! 🎁

    This restaurant is a lovely little gem. The family who owns the shop is very friendly and my 2 daughters got asking really well with their daughter while we were waiting for our food and tea. The tea options are very delicious and refreshing. I've tried quite a few different iced teas so far. I have many more to try. Also I want to try their hot tea and Boba as well. The sandwiches are fresh and yummy. There are quite a few top chose from so it's nice to have variety. I would highly recommend this restaurant. We go regularly and have not been disappointed once. My sister joined for a lunch and she was so excited to see the tea sets they have for sale in store. There are so many gorgeous little porcelain sets. Great for gifts and collectibles and tea parties.
