bobaTEAque

Quiet place to study, and there are also outlets!! :) Wish I knew about this place earlier

Ambiance: Very cute and relaxed low key boba spot located in a shopping plaza. Cute little bear painting on the wall. Very minimal decor. Plenty of seating.

Service: Very friendly employee. Immediately offered to answer any questions. Had a thorough understanding of the menu and all ingredients. He recommended that I reduce the sweetness of my drink because it was the sweetest drink on the menu. I appreciated his recommendation!

Drink: I ordered the peach passion smoothie with ice crystal boba at 75% sweetness. It had a really smooth texture and wasn't overly thick. While the drink was on the thinner side the ice crystal jelly was a nice addition. I would definitely get 50% sweetness next time. It was still pretty sweet. But overall very enjoyable!

I got zero sugar, and I kid you not, my drink is so bitter that I've been drinking it for the past few days. It's so hard to get past.

My partner got one of the sweeter drinks, peach passionfruit, I believe, at 25% sweetness, yet it is still super sugary.

I'll have to get a little bit of sugar next time or not a tea because it's so bland. But I love the style!

I wish I could say I liked the Ceylon milk tea with boba that I got, but I didn't. :(

It tastes like normal milk tea. It was not that sweet and even though I asked for extra ice, it came with not too much ice that was already melting fast. I can't imagine their normal ice level.

I went home to try to fix it by dumping it in to another cup with brown sugar syrup and more ice, but I still ended up throwing the whole thing away after a few sips.

I'll give this a low 3. The service was nice and they have karaoke on Friday nights and other activities for the community so extra stars for that. Not sure if ill be back.

This place is absolutely amazing! We've been coming here for years, and even though there are plenty of Boba spots in Irvine just 15 minutes away, this remains our top choice. The boba here is simply the best we've ever had. The drinks are always incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor, making each visit a delightful experience. The consistency and quality of the boba are unmatched, and we can't recommend it highly enough! If you're a boba lover, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

This drink is naturally dairy free. Score! And you can pick your level of sweetness. I went extra sweet which is the highest level of sweetness you can get.

The inside of this shop is too cute. With cute sayings on the wall, to a bear sitting at a table. It's adorable. And very clean inside. Plenty of room to sit down and enjoy your drink.

My drink though, was disappointing. It tasted like I was just drinking milk from a carton with some boba thrown in there. Maybe I just ordered the wrong drink? But it wasn't sweet at all even though I ordered extra sweet. And it was gross. I don't want to drink straight milk with boba. Why wasn't there any flavor to it? Weird. I dumped out the liquid and just munched on the boba.

Was craving boba and found this place on Yelp cause they had high ratings, so decided to give it a try. Not sure if the staff that served us just didn't try enough on our order, but the drinks we got were underwhelming. Tasted watered down & the boba was honestly not the best.
Took a picture of the drinks before we tried it & the looks of the picture here are definitely deceiving LOL.

I'm a boba connoisseur. I start with the same drink for every new boba place to rate them. I always get jasmine milk tea 75% sweet. And theirs just tasted like milk and barely any tea. The boba was good- not hard but chewy enough. I wish it was more TEA based but it wasn't.. I'm writing this so i can try another flavor next time cus my drink today was mid.

Super accommodating! :)

We came a bit earlier than when they opened and offered to come back, but the owner was really sweet and didn't mind taking our order! They have a decent menu with different types of drinks and flavors. My sister and I really enjoyed our drinks! My favorite is the Lychee Green Tea, but that's only available for a limited time. :(

* Jasmine Green Tea: 9/10 - refreshing and good flavor
* Passionfruit Green Tea: 8/10 - sweet and tart
* Lychee Green Tea: 10/10 - perfect flavor
* Boba (Topping): 9/10 - nice and chewy

The shop itself is really nice and quite spacious so they usually hold some sort of event on the weekends. They have a decent amount of tables and chairs so it's also a good place to hangout and chat with friends. They're located in this large plaza so parking is easy.

Give them a try if you're in the area!

BobaTEAque is one of my go to spots for boba! The staff is very friendly and their drinks are really good! Also one of my favorites at the moment is one of their summer seasonal drinks which is the Mango Green Tea! Usually for sweetness I stick with 50%-75% but with this one I find that 25% sweetness is perfect! My other non seasonal drink that I get is the passion fruit black tea with jelly!

1. The drink was refreshing!
2. The spot has fun cute vibes with an open space!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order!
4. Parking is easy in this area!
Note: There was a sign that they were going to do a k-pop related event on 9/10!
