    The nom nom milk or the taro milk tea are great choices for first timers! Get the FTB brick toast if you're craving something really sweet too!

    get the yogurt drink if you're opting for something than just regular milk/green teas you can get anywhere else. Don't get food, just stuff that's microwaved.

    FTB is an awesome space to chill with some delicious bubble tea while hiding from the heat. Totally worth hanging out in San Gabriel for!

    Fantastic joint for 18-under crowd (and pedophiles). However, give a man a "bar" bar, complete with some rye & Scotch.

    Usually crowded so getting a table is difficult. Packed with high schoolers. Pretty loud and dark atmosphere. Drinks and food are good though (:

    The drinks are very sweet, ask for less sugar if you want to be able to taste your tea.
