Crema's Take
“Sun Tea Day is a charming neighborhood tea shop that stands out in the crowded San Gabriel Valley bubble tea scene by actually caring about quality—they use real fruits (you'll watch them being smashed), skip the artificial creamers, and let you customize sweetness to your preference. The staff here treats every customer like a friend, with genuine warmth that reviewers consistently praise as rare and memorable. Whether you're drawn to their creative signature drinks, fruity specialty blends, or just looking for a welcoming spot to linger, this is the kind of place that raises your standards for what a tea shop can be.”

Little cute shop. Parking in rear. Great drinks with quality ingredients!!! Great customer service - they acknowledge you and said hi and thank you—- I know! Rare these days!
Cute tea place! We had a passion fruit green tea with lychee jelly and Butterfly in Love with aloe. You can adjust the level of sweetness depending on how sweet you are feeling. The Butterfly in Love was super pretty to look at and quite an explosion of tastes. It was sweet (at 50% sweetness which is what the kind person at the counter recommended) and tart and fizzy and my taste buds had wild ride with this drink. I’d come back to try out some different drinks 😃
This is the only picture I took surprisingly but this tea store heightened my expectations for any store I go to in the future! I've never had such a pleasant and kind experience with the staff ❤️ I came here with a couple of friends in costume and the staff was very curious and nice about it, loved the atmosphere. The drinks were also amazing, the mango in my drink tasted like fresh fruit puree, I even got a little bit of pulp! If I'm ever in the area again I will make sure to stop by! Thank you so much for your amazing service!
They do have a lot of interesting menus, especially fruit base drinks. It was so hard to make a decision. We ordered house special fruit tea with agar (half sweet) and sparkling strawberry yakult with boba (half sweet), and both of them were so good. The fruit tea was well balanced with juice and tea. I guess it might be too sweet if it was original sweet. Half sweet was just great for us. Sparkling strawberry yakult was super tasty as well. It was nice and fizzy (mild fizzy though). Strawberry goes really well with yakult. Quality of topping (agar and boba) was great too. Boba had just right texture, not too smooth or firm. The owner (or staff) was really helpful and kind. They do have some tables, it would be nice to grab some drinks with friends. It was one of the best fruit and tea base boba place I’ve had recently!
There are TONS of bubble tea places in SGV but they’re all kind of the same. But this place stands out to me because they don’t use non-dairy creamer and they use real fruits(I saw them smashing fruits behind the counter 🤣), and their boba is super fresh and chewy! I canNOT stand old, soggy, not properly cooked bobas. But this place does justice with top notch bobas! 🧋 Again, not a lot of boba teas actually offer fresh, properly cooked bobas and it’s always hit or miss, usually a miss. I’d definitely recommend this place and come back for my boba fix. Also what a lovely family business vibe!
