Ladybug Tea House Alhambra

Was looking for a tea house in the 626, hopped on yelp to find one with good ratings, and this was the one that caught my eyes, 200ish reviews and a solid 4 out 5 stars. It was the night's winner for the meeting place with friends.

Seems like your typical tea place. Red walls, beige stripes, black tables and $3ish teas! They do have a $2 milk tea special with your yelp check in. I got the passion fruit green tea. It was fruity and refreshing. I asked for a quarter sweet and it was still a bit sweet. I suppose their syrup or powder already comes sweeten. Nothing really special about the drink though. By that, I mean like little pieces of fruits or something. 

I originally had wanted the barley milk tea. But unfortunately they did not have that. The cashier did not know what that was. The smoothies sounded really good. Too bad I'm not a teenager anymore. Curse you aging metabolism! 

My friend brought his camera, check out the video for a better feel for the ambiance. Subscribe to me on yelp or youtube for more reviews!

Tea brick Monterey Park

Weird theme.
Hard to find.
Unique drinks.

I've lowered my rating for this place because of one reason, the place is tiny. If you wanted to grab a table here, good luck. The usual customers that dine in are people who stay for hours on end(so it seems). There probably a max seating capacity of 20 or so people. 

However, it makes up for the lack in space with wonderful delicious drinks. The whole brick theme is lost to me. Someone tell me why it's Tea brick! It's not a big deal, because tea shops need character. Seems like a new places are popping up on the daily. The interesting names for the drinks(Girlfriend, Vanessa, Look Sensation). Makes you really wonder how a Vanessa tastes like. Definitely tickles my curiosity. 

On this trip...I had the secret paradise. It's yellow drink with tea, pineapple flavor, some chunks of aloe, a ton of that seed thing. It's not too sweet and everything works magically. Very refreshing and satisfying after a nice hearty meal. My buddy Sam S. had the mango tea. He liked his drink. And I'm going to just ended with that.

Tea Brick is definitely gonna be a go to place for kids, teens, and young adults. They're interesting concepts bring imagination in the "boba scene."
