My family's personal faves are: the Honeydew smoothie with rainbow jelly, the Thai tea, Rose green tea with sakura boba, and the Lihing mango smoothie with rainbow jelly. But really... there is no such thing as a bad drink at Cali Tea. In fact, there's no such thing as a bad day at Cali Tea. Whenever I manage to come in, there's a smiling face behind the counter. Every bit of their operation is about using high-quality ingredients with ridiculous amounts of skill to make amazing boba and smoothies. The Death Wish coffee is *strong*, but it's sooo worth it. Bonus points for being able to create your own drink from the build-it-yourself menu. (Try hojicha milk tea with coconut flavoring. Thank me later).

Brown Sugar Milk Tea and Large Sea Crema Caramel Coffee were absolutely delicious. I've had many other milk teas from other places and they're always watered down. Both drinks were perfectly sweet and balanced, tasted fresh. Portion was pretty good for the price. I would definitely order again from here.

There is no such thing as a bad drink or a bad day at Cali Tea. Great people, great brew-to-order teas and coffees, and the highest quality smoothies in SoCal. My family recommends the Lihing Mango smoothie, caramel frappe, and rose green tea with sakura boba and sea crema. (Also, anything with ube in it is a gift from above. Just go get it.)
