3Catea 三喵制茶

The milk tea is amazing and tastes just like authentic milk tea from China. You can really tell the ingredients are high quality — the tea and milk are well balanced and very smooth. The toppings are also delicious and fresh. It’s hard to find milk tea this authentic here, so I’ll definitely be coming back!

It’s packed, parking lot is small and line was long (40mins wait for drinks). It’s holiday weekend so understandable. The place is very nice and well decor, ft like upscale drink place. Easy order but the wait is just not acceptable, giving the 7 people prior but come on, it’s drinks. Just POV!!!! Nice staff but was hoping for them to do it faster. Drinks are great, better than others. Tried the one in LA and the wait is just ridiculous too, only 4 people prior for 20mins wait. Love the names and the drinks are great and glad that we only stop by one a month for the drinks or else we just give up all together. I would give it a 5 but the long long wait was ridiculous so -2 points for that, so sorry.

I recently visited 3Catea, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots for bubble tea. As someone who loves exploring local tea shops, I was drawn in by the cute cat-themed branding—three meows for three cats, I assume—and the promise of fresh, handcrafted drinks. The menu is extensive, featuring classic milk teas, fruit infusions, and creative seasonal specials. I went for their signature brown sugar boba milk tea and a passion fruit green tea with cheese foam. Both were spot on: the brown sugar boba was perfectly chewy and caramelized, not overly sweet, while the passion fruit tea had a refreshing tang balanced by the creamy foam. No artificial flavors here; everything tasted natural and high-quality. The service was friendly and efficient. The staff greeted me warmly, even during a busy afternoon rush, and patiently answered my questions about customizations like sugar levels and toppings. They seem passionate about their craft, which adds to the welcoming vibe. The atmosphere is cozy and modern, with clean lines, pastel accents, and plenty of seating—ideal for catching up with friends or working on a laptop. It's not too noisy, and the subtle cat motifs (like paw-print decorations) give it a fun, whimsical touch without being over-the-top. Prices are reasonable for the portion sizes; my two large drinks came to about $15, and they were generously filled. They also offer loyalty cards for repeat visits, which is a nice perk. Overall, 3Catea stands out in a sea of bubble tea chains for its authenticity and attention to detail. If you're in the area, it's worth a stop—whether you're a boba enthusiast or just craving something refreshing. I'll definitely be back to try their matcha latte next time! Highly recommend giving it a five-star try.

3CAT is definitely one of the best boba tea spots in LA and one of my personal favorites! 🧋✨ I always order less sugar & less ice, and their drinks are consistently well-balanced and refreshing. Drinks Ordered this time: • 🧋 Golden Amber Milk Tea – Fresh, smooth, and not overly sweet. I enjoyed this one much more than the other drink I ordered. • 🍃 Dragon Well Latte (Seasonal) – More milky than tea-forward. Didn’t really taste the tea for me, so I wouldn’t order this again. My Personal Ranking (Best → Good): 🥭 Mango Sweet Dew 🥑 Avomango Sweet Dew 🍡 Mochi Mango 🧀 Cheese Mango 🫖 Golden Amber Milk Tea Would Not Reorder: ❌ Icy Peach ❌ Dragon Well Latte The place is always busy, but honestly worth the wait every time. If you’re a mango lover or prefer drinks that aren’t overly sweet, 3CAT is a must-try in LA! 💛

Drinks are good and it gets packed. My friend and I waited for a while for our drinks since it was pretty busy. But the drinks were good! I got an oolong milk tea and added cream top with pecan (reminds me of Chagee in China, which I really like!)- it was good! However, the shop didn't feel very clean. My friend and I both agreed that we were surprised that the floors seemed so dirty for such a popular shop.

My boyfriend and I ordered the Cheese Strawberry drink here and had a terrible experience. The lid design is loose and doesn’t seal properly, and on the way home the drink spilled all over the paper bag and leaked out completely. The worst part, however, was the customer service. I called several times and was told to send photos to their head office contact (a man). He was extremely dismissive — told me to “send the photos and wait.” After I sent them, I called again to confirm, and he brushed me off saying he’d “check later.” He never gave us any real response, and by the next day he simply ignored us altogether. It’s not just about the poorly designed cup — the way they handled this was unprofessional and disrespectful to customers. If you order here, be aware: the drinks may spill, and the company will not take responsibility or even treat you seriously.

My boyfriend and I ordered the Cheese Strawberry drink and it spilled everywhere because the lid doesn’t seal properly. We called multiple times, sent photos as requested, but the manager was rude, dismissive, and then completely ignored us. Terrible attitude — they don’t care about customers at all.

The food was terrific and meat selection was very good. Bone broth was my favorite.
