    My first time at this location in Costa Mesa. Just finished a nice dinner and decided to come and have some drinks here. I ordered summer mint and that was quite a nice and refreshing drink. I enjoyed the nice light minty taste and a blend of limes inside. Overall this was nice and we decided to drink it in the car. They do have some chairs and tables inside if you want to relax in here.

    I rarely come to this location of 7 Leaves and I thought I'd leave a review just to report that I love how consistent all the 7 Leaves are. Their drinks tastes the same across many locations I've been to and the workers are always friendly. I love that they also offer a point system where you get free drinks from time to time.

    Salted Caramel Macaron
    Raven R.

    I had a hankering for a sweet drink after dinner and found this place. I got there at a time where it wasn't too busy so they got my order in right away and prepared it quickly. There were plenty of tables and they were clean. I ordered a taro milk tea and salted caramel macaron. Taro Milk Tea- Light and creamy with a good taro flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. Salted Caramel Macaron- Pastry part was perfect and the filling was rich and bursting with caramel flavor and a sea salt finish. Great experience overall!

    Staff is great and space looks clean. Drinks are good. Some are better than others. The coffee tastes a bit burnt to me now so I stay away from those. Some of the other drinks may be sweet so I get an extra cup of ice to dilute it. Restroom has a super long code. Very few seats so good luck getting one. Rewards program gives you leaves for free drinks.

    20% half gallons in store until 11/24

    I stopped in because I was craving my normal green Thai tea. I ended up walking out with 2 half gallons of tea, lol. They were doing a 20% off on half gallons and I love their green Thai tea so much that I got the half gallons for myself. They gave me like 10 cups, lids, and straws like it's for a party hahaha! One important note is that you can do oat substitute if you're lactose intolerant like me. On some drinks you can't really adjust the sweetness, they can only add more milk to make it less sweet.

    A classic quote seen at all 7 Leaves Cafe
    Patrick ..

    Bottom Line Up Front: 7 Leaves Cafe is my go-to boba shop chain, but this particular review will be for the Costa Mesa location. Drinks: Almost all the boba drinks range from good up to awesome. This visit, we got a Vietnamese iced coffee and the seasonal Brazilian lemonade. The former was delicious; it has a slightly different flavor than traditional Vietnamese iced coffee, but it's still my go-to drink from 7 Leaves. We also got the Brazilian lemonade, which was tart but simultaneously sweet. A refreshing drink if you want a different style lemonade. Unfortunately, the prices continue to climb and that means I buy fewer and fewer drinks ... and they get a half star deducted from their overall rating. Service: The employees here were pleasant, competent, and friendly. Our cashier was happy to give us samples of the seasonal drinks and provided us background info. The Setting: Located in a strip mall not far from South Coast Plaza, this location is smaller than some other 7 Leaves. There are only 3 long tables, two of which have tall stools and one with traditional chairs. If it's super busy or you have a large party, it might be difficult to find enough open spaces. There is no outdoor seating. It's best for to-go orders, which is not good if you're looking for a cafe to chill at. Because of this, they get another half star deduction for their overall rating. Conclusion: 7 Leaves is a higher-quality boba shop that emphasizes quality teas and drinks over novelty flavors and sugary concoctions. All employees have always been polite and helpful. The same holds true at this location. Unfortunately it's on the smaller side, so it can't be a convenient hangout spot. Plus, the prices (following industry trends) are higher than should be. But overall, I enjoyed this cafe and would return when in the area.

    OVERALL : 7 Leaves is a veteran in the OC boba/coffee scene, and they have a smaller, focused menu with milk tea, fruit tea, and coffee that they do very well. Once in a while they come out with a seasonal drink, so I knew I had to try it! Ordering is super simple at the counter (remember to pull up your app for reward points) or via the app! Workers are friendly and quick with making drinks. There is some seating if you'd like to hang out with friends or get some work done, but most people seem to get their drinks togo here. This review is solely for their new Rio Rosa drink! PARKING : There are a lot of good foods in this plaza and ample parking space in the parking lot right out front :) Pretty spacious but it can get crowded during peak hours. FOOD/DRINKS : Rio Rosa - strawberry, condensed milk, lime -- reminded me of their Brazilian lemonade but with a touch of strawberry flavor! Refreshing and tart, definitely a summer drink. At the end of the day, I still like their milk teas, coffee, and fruit teas more, but this was fun to try!

    7 Leaves Cafe is a popular chain, especially for the "Mung Bean" tea and coffee drinks. The Bristol location is perfect for my afternoon tea run to break up the work week. The 7 Leaves atmosphere is relaxed, with clean and modern décor, and staff are nice. I very rarely stay but opt for the "fly in and out" picking up my order. We like to order via the app so it's fast and convenient. Will be returning again next week.

    Boba- 5/10 good thing I only asked for a sample of boba bc the bobas were hella dense and hard in the middle. ALWAYS ASKS FOR SAMPLES BEFORE COMMITTING! Drink- 8.9/10 Assam milk tea - I requested less sweet and thank god I did. This drink was already sweet asf even after requesting less sweet. It has a strong flavor of tea to the drink. Service- 9/10 good. They let me try a sample of boba.

    Deb H.

    I love the boba here it is always fresh and soft. They also have a great variety of other add ins and the employees are very kind and helpful. Another favorite thing is that they sell macarons in a variety of flavors which are a delicious treat! They open super early at like 6:30am or 7:30am depending on the day which is amazing because most boba places don't open until closer to noon! There's plenty of free parking unless you come during peak dinner time and then they have valet because there's a few busy restaurants in the center.

    Ryan and Brendon were so welcoming when I came in! They were patient when we were ordering & also offered samples so we could decide! I got the Brazilian lemonade which is a limited time offer , but it is perfectly sweet & sour! Thanks Ryan and Brendon for great service!

    11/2024 Their Macaron filling is my favorite! Light, creamy, perfect macaron pastry texture: subtle crispness, soft and moist chewy center
    Jen S.

    Only reviewing their macarons! Chose their strawberry, green tea, and pistachio macarons. Even at 7PM, their macarons were perfectly crispy, yet moist and chewy "feet." Their Macaron filling is my favorite! Light, creamy, a perfect macaron pastry texture: subtle crispness, soft and moist chewy center. They're $2.50 each now, but it's a sweet treat to indulge myself with.

    Ask the Community - 7 Leaves Cafe

    How much caffeine is in the House Coffee?

    Hi, sorry I do not know the exact answer. However, it's Vietnamese style coffee which is pretty strong IMO and I think that is why they add a lot of ice. If it's not strong enough, to increase it's strength you can request less ice and/or add free… 

    Do they have any boba?

    Yes. But sometimes if it's too early in the morning, they don't. Depends on location.

    Do they have printer there?

    If they did it wouldn't be for public use. Idk if they have a back office or printer. In short, don't expect to come here and print anything.

    Do they have any nondairy milk teas?

    They have non milk tea based options and also have soy milk so you could possibly ask for that non dairy option!

    Drive thru by chance?

    No drive through. Parking is okay except at night and the weekend around dinner. They have valet when it gets busy.

    What are their hours?

Only recently was I able to visit and try their croffles and other sweets. Did NOT know that this was inside the H Mart food court in Diamond Jamboree. Parking is horrendous and the driving there is horrendous as well. Probably the easiest and least horrifying option just to automatically default to is to just park in the overflow lot right next to the plaza. There's no indicator for the parking garage so on a particularly busy day, you can head all the way to the top, find nothing and navigate through the hell crowds trying to leave. Ambiance is a very casual, counter order business in the food court. There's seating there, but we ate really close by. Definitely something you have to eat immediately or the texture will not be optimal or it might get soggy. We got the tiramisu croffle and they toasted it and put it together for us there. The lady working there packed it up nicely in a to go box and we got some cookies (regular ones and almond crisp ones). It's a bit sweet, but they're dessert pastries so that makes sense. Goes great with a brewed cup of tea. Croffle had a nice semi-chewy texture and the tiramisu flavor added a bit of a coffee taste to it. Good balance of the cream and croffle. The cookie wasn't too bad either. Overall not a bad to go dessert spot.

We waited outside by the pick-up window after ordering. Service was fast for the doughnut and my coffee, but they seemed to forget about my husband's cold brew, so I had to ask about it after a few minutes of waiting. Not a big deal, just was surprised it took so long when it was such an easy order! We both enjoyed the buttery/salty doughnut, and my coffee was delightful! However, my husband said the cold brew was just okay and it was packed with ice to the point you couldn't stick the straw in the lid. Overall, our first experience at this location was good, and we'll definitely be back to try more of Sidecar's delicious doughnuts! Might pass on the cold brew though!

When we ordered the cinnamon roll, there was no option to heat it up, so we thought they would have done it already. When it was served, it was rock solid. So, we asked them to heat it up. However, after a few minutes, it still wasn't that gooey and the inner core was still pretty tough. Perhaps they could have warmed it up so that it was evenly softened. Overall, the cinnamon roll was alright. It was a brioche roll so you would think it might be lighter and fluffy, but ours was pretty dry. However, the cream on top was insanely good.

I put the order 5 days before I said it needed it and they agreed it can be done by then. I thought it was easy and I just followed it up with the change of topping on the cake. I explicitly stated to text me if they needed anything else from me since I have never done this before. I probably should've followed them up, but I was busy that week. Since I didn't hear anything afterwards I thought I had secured my order. The day I come to pick up the cake, they tell me they don't have the order. The lady who I spoke to, who I'm assuming was on the phone when I initially called, is telling me I put a request not an order and that I didn't even provide my full name (not true, I did). I'm being told that I shouldve put down a deposit and have a contract with them for the cake. I wasn't provided with any contract or a Zelle username. If I had that information I would've absolutely done it. As a business you should provide the customer with that sort of information. I had no idea and I wasn't told that thru text. Should I have followed up? Absolutely, i know that now. There's no information on the website about a contract or deposit information. Only the phone number that I first called. So they should probably update that if they have so many orders and can't keep track with request. There was a lot of deflection from the lady when i tried to explain my grievance. No apology either for the confusion. I felt crazy because I thought I might've missed their messages. Nope nothing. Only the Zelle information after I had arrive there. Luckily, they had puff pastry ready and told me they could have the cake ready in 15 min, and I really needed the cake so I agree to still do business. When I got the cake it was still warm and they told me to freeze it in my refrigerator for it to set. 15 min to get to my place and the ganache has melted off the top and custard had already spilled out from the sides. I had a long drive afterwards and not even an insulated bag could save it. It did taste good, it's too bad about communication, and everything else.
