Staff are very nice. The food and drinks came out fast. I like the place with decorations and games. The AC is good during hot days. The milk tea and coffee are good. The popcorn chicken was a little salty for me. Good place to chill.

Factory Tea Bar in San Gabriel is a fantastic spot for boba lovers! They have a huge selection of drinks, from classic milk teas to more unique options like their specialty fruit teas. The boba is always fresh and chewy, just the way it should be. The atmosphere is super laid-back and cozy, making it a great place to chill with friends or get some work done. They also have some delicious snacks, like popcorn chicken and fries, which are perfect for munching on while you sip your drink. The staff is really friendly and the service is quick, even when it's busy. Overall, it's a must-visit if you're in the area and craving some quality boba and a cool hangout spot!

I really like this place, besides great food and drinks that make you happy, they also have an arcade and karaoke place here. You can also buy lots of cute merch while you're here as well, especially if you're a Sanrio fan. Nom Nom Green Milk Tea - Very sweet, but the boba and cream are just so good, it makes it feel like it's a reward after a long day. Jack and Rose - Has a rose foam at the top and is very light and refreshing. It's not too sweet if you're looking for something that's light in flavor and sweetness Popcorn Chicken with Sour Cream Powder - This one is my favorite of the night because it's very unique. I never had a place offer powders for popcorn chicken besides chili powder so it added great flavor. Not only that, they were very generous with the seasoning so you had the flavoring all around. I wish there were bigger pieces, but it's still super good and I'd return just for the chicken if I ever crave popcorn chicken again

The nomnom milk was great, boba was cooked perfectly. Fries were great too but a bit pricey. We went on a late Friday night so it was busy. There is a game side of the place which was fun. We paid for an hour of billiards ($15) but we were annoyed the cashier made us leave 10 minutes early before our time was up so that the next party could take the table. We didn't feel like arguing though so we just left. Parking is a bit tough. They have a lot but super small. Likely better to park on the street if you can.

We enjoyed factory tea bar for friend game night. The claw machine has boba plushies, the appetizer plates were stacked and had elote fries, there is cool hidden artwork, and I'm in love with brick toast we also got a boba tower of tea. Such a fun idea for a friends night out! FOOD: Peach Black Tea Tower w/ Grass Jelly Caramel Brick Toast Elote Fries Calamari Sweet Potato Fries Popcorn Chicken

Nom nom milk tea 4/5 - I think this is one of the best drinks. Its kinda like brown sugar boba milk tea. My sister and I both got one each but here's was a lot sweeter. Mine was a little more bland even though we both didn't make adjustments to our drinks Elote fries 3/5 - I wish there was more of the toppings like cheese and sauce. It was decent but I wouldn't get it again for the price.

I haven't been to factory tea bar in years. I think the last time was pre Covid. I use to come here during my first few years of college to study and do work. I would say it has become more lively throughout the years. They added more claw machines and now an area for pool tables in the back and a couple of karaoke rooms. I would say they have now converted to more of the hang out spot to be at in San Gabriel. The tea is still good. I tried the Sakura green tea and it was light and refreshing. I tried to order on the phone to pick up ahead of time but they actually don't make the drink until you check in to pay.
