I ordered the matcha milk tea with their cream foam and I’m gonna say, i don’t like it at all. It tastes really strange to me. The best way I can describe it is (sorry it’s gonna sound really weird but) you know when you smell something and you can kinda taste it? Well to me this tastes like pine Sol floor cleaner smells. Of course I’ve never actually tasted pine Sol with my tongue but how it smells, that’s the closest thing to describe this matcha taste

Delicious milk tea! Such a clean and attractive place with friendly people. Incorporating a sustainable vibe too ! ? Please dispose of your trash and recycling properly everyone!

After long journeys I went there with my gf . So we just get cali milk tea coffee. Wow is an amazing coffee night. Test and smell both is very natural

Some very nice staff helped me through my order, and when I got the Strawberry Milk tea I wasn't disappointed! It's very high quality, would definitely check it out.

This is the best Boba place I've ever been to! The strawberry milk tea is soo good! The size of the bobas is perfect and the consistency is perfect too! I also really liked the Vietnamese coffee.

Good teas, good place to chat, they need to have a better quality aloe though.

I love the tea here. Everything is made fresh. The staff is super friendly and the tea is always good. I love the tea so much I come here almost everyday to buy one. They also sale cookies, macaroons, and salads. It's a great place to hang out have some tea, coffee or lunch.

CaliTea is a chill spot. The interior is nice. The customer service is good. There are low sugar tea options. The establishment accepts Samsung Pay.

I ordered the Cali Milk Tea with honey boba. I can say that this drink is one you may end up drinking fairly quickly if you're not careful because it is good.Starting with a list of the positives:1) Service. Very professional and nice employees, they made the experience great.2) Diverse menu. This could be a pro if all the drinks are up to the same standard, or a con if some are lacking. I haven't tried all of them, but I love the options.3) Access to a restroom that is relatively clean.4) Plenty of seating, doesn't feel congested.5) Drink itself is great, glad that you allow sweetness adjustments.A few things that stop me from giving the location 5 stars (which I *rarely* do):1) Bathroom, it's clean (as far as public restrooms go) but please make use of the soap dispenser and not a $1 plastic bottle of soap to the side. It'll hold more soap, it was nearly out when I went to use it because it's such a small bottle.2) Parking. This isn't necessarily their fault, but it is a concern. It was a bit difficult finding a spot when I wanted to visit. If the small lot is filled, you'll have to park somewhere on the street. Make sure to read all the signs to avoid a ticket or being towed.Wish there were reserved spots like the juice bar nextdoor has.3) Price. Nearly $6 for a cup of boba. Although I understand inflation has led to price increases, I can still get a cup of boba closer to $5 or below with the comparable quality at other locations. I understand this is a new restaurant and a profit needs to be made, but the profit margins are already very high for most boba shops. Please consider dropping the prices just a little bit. You are also competing with Ding Tea Long Beach, which is just around the corner (they also charge near $6). Along with competition from CHA for Tea not too far away.4) Only drinks? You have such a large, nice space that people could sit for hours. It'd be nice if you had some food options, even if it was just pastries. I saw the macarons, but maybe a bit more? If it's just baked goods, how about some croissants, muffins, or something? Popcorn chicken if you want to make food? Start cheap with the pastries, work your way up to making cooked food? Just a thought, because I don't see the motivation to stay for a long period of time with only a drink.

CaliTea is by and far the best milk tea available !!! It's customized to your taste. There are a bunch of tea leaf options, fruit jelly and boba options as well as the option to get hot or cold tea!!! Bruh! Everything on their top sellers list is a banger!!! Oh, and it's affordable! Don't miss out, y'all!
