Chapresso
2142 Huntington Dr, San Marino, CA
Crema's Take
“This intimate San Marino gem punches above its weight with an impressive breadth of fruit teas and milk tea boba, earning loyal devotion from regulars who've watched it grow since opening. The compact storefront opens up to welcoming outdoor seating that transforms it into a perfect neighborhood gathering spot, where a bright, clean atmosphere pairs with thoughtfully crafted drinks like their Iced Hojicha Latte and ceremonial-grade Matcha Latte. It's the kind of place where friendly service and consistent quality keep people coming back, even in a city where tea options are sparse.”

Chapresso is a tiny boba tea shop in San Marino. They have breadth selection of fruit teas and milk tea boba. And it is the only tea shop in this upper middle class city. I came to grab a hot Jasmine Pekoe Green tea which is a high-quality tea leaves , often younger leaves with fine hair (pekoe). Its flavor was smooth, mellow, slightly sweet, with fresh fruity undertones. Prices were fair. Staff and service were cordial and on spot, respectively. Indoor and outdoor seats were very limited. Overall, I liked my tea at Chapresso. I highly recommend them.
One of my two go-to tea places in SGV. Been a customer since it opened and while it does have its ups and downs in terms of taste, it is still by far one of the best tea place I've ever been to. My go-to is the iron goddess milk tea at 100% sweetness and Phoenix milk tea at 75% sweetness. Highly recommend anyone nearby to try this place out!!!
We loved the drinks and service. Not very busy. Very few indoor seating. Some tables outside. Good place to grab boba drinks and socialize with friends. Barley Black Tea: 4.5/5 Iced Hojicha Latte: 4.5/5
The store is a bit small but there is ample seating outside. There is also a lot of great options. Both of my drinks were great and both the guy behind the cash register and the two people working the floor making the drinks were helpful and kind at all times. 10/10
The store was bright and clean. I ordered a hot Matcha Latte. It was good and had an earthy flavor, but it wasn't very hot. A bit expensive but I guess it's to be expected for ceremonial grade matcha. They weren't busy so I only waited a few minutes.
