My boyfriend put it best when he said, "This place tastes like California." QQ Tea Plus is in an unassuming quiet plaza, so there is ample parking. The inside is very clean and minimalistic. It was dead inside when we visited on Monday afternoon. The environment was super awkward because we were the only ones there and there was no background music/noise at all. It was just dead quiet. I think they could definitely improve their ambience with some music.
But the tea!!!! The best comparison I can give is to that of Au79 in Socal. It has a distinct tea flavor but balanced well with enough flavoring. I got the lychee green tea; it was so refreshing and just like what I got growing up in the SGV. My boyfriend got that honey milk tea. Both drinks were a little sweeter than we'd normally go for, but they do have sweetness levels. Their boba was sweet but hard and cold. I'd stay away from the boba.
For the longest time, I stayed away from this place because it looked so gimmicky with their lightbulb cups, butterfly pea teas (that color is not natural man), and cup light display. I'm glad I finally gave this place a try because IT TASTES LIKE CALIFORNIA.
3.75 stars LOL
the ambience and tough boba make it difficult to give this place 4 whole stars. But they do have quality tea drinks. With a few easy fixes, I can see this place doing very well
