Sunright Tea Studio - Arcadia
1220 S Golden West Ave, Arcadia, CA
Crema's Take
“This Arcadia tea studio has mastered the art of efficiency without sacrificing quality, with two self-order stations that keep the line moving while their rotating boba flavors—from classic to brown sugar to honey—give you reason to return weekly. What really sets them apart is their thoughtful approach to inclusivity, offering almond and oat milk alternatives for their milkteas at a time when many competitors overlook dietary preferences, creating a genuinely welcoming spot for the whole family.”

Anytime I can find a place that offers almond or oat milk alternatives for the milkteas I’m happy! I love boba and this place is super efficient with the orders coming out. Sometimes it’s a wait to get your drink and they do not take cash payments.
Delicious boba drinks. I’ve visited this location several times and the employees are always efficient, but the prices have been rising similar to other tea places in LA. Two options to order: at two self-service kiosks or with a worker at the register. I recommend the Oreo brûlée boba milk which was $6.95. They also have several kids menu options which are great for a smaller 16 oz drink instead of the normal 22 oz. They’re located at the entrance of a food court in a shared plaza with a super market and other stores, so there’s enough shared lot parking.
Pretty good experience at this Tea Shop compared to other location I went to in Rowland. They have two order yourself stations and I was able to take a look more closely this time at their selection. This is located at the front, and although there isn’t any seating, besides a bench, you could take your drink and walk inside towards the food court. I tried and enjoyed the Sunlight Fruit Tea. Got it with less sugar and less ice. We got our drinks really fast, it was clean, what else can you ask for at a Boba place?
Clean, great variety of drinks, quick and easy and loved it. I will definitely return again. I loved that they made different flavors of boba as well. I tried the regular, brown sugar, and honey boba. The Oreo brûlée milk tea is a must try too! Sooo yum!
Sunright Tea Studio has became one of my weekly boba stop! Everytime I visit 99 ranch I would go to Sunright for boba! We usually go for a fresh milk tea or Brown Sugar boba milk (with boba) and add an additional cream pudding topping. As a sweet tooth, I would always get 100% sweetness and less ice. Their cream pudding tastes just like those milk pudding you could get from Taiwanese 7-11's !! Additionally, if you are a mango fan, I recommend their frost mango with jasmine tea jelly. You can tell they really put in the effort to make their toppings because the cream pudding is filled with milky flavor and their jasmine tea jelly has the perfect jasmine tea aroma! Not long ago they had a collaboration with Maple Story which came with a super cute cup and the Kiwi Maple Story Collab was pretty good. The balance between sweet and sour was just perfect which made the drink super refreshing. I don't think they have it anymore since I visited again today and they did not have the cute cups nor the special drinks.. Give their fresh milk series a try or substitute your milk tea using fresh milk instead of house milk, it is completely a game changer! The one lacking in flavor for me from their fresh milk series would be the creme brulee boba milk. The creme brulee foam is really tasty but was, in my opinion, not strong enough for the whole cup of milk.
