Where is the best boba in Alhambra?

It seemed only fitting that we would follow up our wildly popular — and somewhat controversial — burger poll with a regional favorite: boba! The SGV is teeming with crowded tea houses, which have become a typical hang out for locals (though some of our staff find them overwhelming with noisy high school students). And the tapioca pearls in milk tea have become a staple for many Asian restaurants or cafes in the area. So what did our voters choose as the best place to enjoy their boba?

Ozero, a sleek shop on Valley Boulevard, led the field with 38 percent of the votes. The Alhambra High student haunt, Cha for Tea, came in a close second with 25 percent while Tea Station scored third with 12 percent. Banh Mi Che Cali, which features two boba for the price of one, scored a few votes to reach fourth place on our list.  Did your favorite boba spot make the cut?
