Calitea Rpv - Rancho Palos Verdes

Got myself Hokkaido MT with boba and Osmanthus Tropic Fruit tea.The Hokkaido is sweet but not as creamy as I'd like. Every shop's Hokkaido MT is different and this shop's not my favorite although it was still good. The boba is underdone and not as sweet. It was a bit of a let down.The Osmanthus Tropic was delightful though. Fruity with a deep flavor of tea. Id recommend this one.Also disliked how dark it is inside. I could barely see the decor. It was only 6PM.

Great alternative to the big guys. Lots of different options, too!

The watery diluted milk tea was pretty underwhelming. Ordered the standard “Calitea” with honey boba. You’d think being their signature drink it would be decent quality but it was weak and just very watered down. I guess quantity over quality is their business strategy. Will pass in future.

On my way home I thought I gave it a try since I live up the street and the first thing I noticed was no greet. The three workers by the counter standing and nobody said hello. After a few mins another customer walks in and immediately gets greeted. I ordered an iced coffee with light creamer only and received my coffee with too much creamer in it and when I went back to counter the worker had already left. I left without saying anything. I ended up going to Starbucks. Not coming here again.

We've been here many times and our drinks are consistently good. They also have little snacks and things that vary sometimes, but are always tasty. They have a small seating area with tons of games and stuff to play. And the bathroom is ALWAYS clean!! We stopped here once out of convenience and it has become one of our favorite South Bay boba shops!!
