Bearology - Arcadia

The drinks here are highly Instagram-worthy and are conveniently located in the heart of the Westfield Santa Anita Mall. You order through self-service kiosks and pick up your beverages at the end of the counter. I appreciated the ability to customize my drink with different sugar and ice levels, and they use real fruit in their fruit teas. Additionally, all drinks are served in glass jars to promote eco-friendliness, and you can receive a discount if you return and reuse your jar. However, the drinks are likely on the pricier side due to the cost of the packaging. Here’s what I tried: - **Banana Milk Tea (half sugar, with boba):** I really enjoyed this one. The inclusion of real bananas made for a creamier texture. However, the boba was a bit hit-or-miss; some pieces were too soft while others were quite firm. - **Butterfly Lemonade (half sugar, with chia):** Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish this because it was too sour and tart for my taste. I probably should have opted for full sugar. - **24k Golden Tea (shimmering drink for $9):** This drink was absolutely beautiful, featuring edible glitter and served in a unique LEGO flask jar. It was a bit sweet, and the sweetness level couldn’t be customized, but it was still fruity and enjoyable. - **Pink Lemonade (shimmering drink for $9):** This was a standard pink lemonade, also adorned with edible sparkles. Next time, I think I would stick with the 24k Golden Tea.

I was a bit disappointed that the restaurant was situated within a busy mall rather than in its own standalone location. The drinks were decent, but nothing particularly remarkable. Once I got home, I used the glass you get to keep to make myself a nice adult beverage.

Very good!! Their Almond Milk Tea had bits of almond at the bottom mixed in with the boba, which was a unique experience that I definitely enjoyed. The staff was very friendly, and I would certainly return. However, I found their menu to be quite limited.

Beautiful looking drinks with different good flavors.. I like that you can decide between different levels of amount of sugar and you can keep the cool glass containers they serve the drinks on????after having the drink you will have a lot of energy to shop until you drop ????

Made our way to Bearology after learning of it on TikTok. Can't say I was disappointed, it was really good. And the best part was it wasn't sweet. I'm glad my girls loved it worth returning to try other flavors. And you get to keep a cool glass ????
