It's a pretty small space so if there were to be a line, it would head outdoors. I do love how they can take your order in person , but also they have 2 kiosks to tap to start your order if you want to avoid maybe a line occurring. I came around opening hours and I was second in line. And no line was formed behind me. It's a cute little spot & it was a hot day. I ordered their large oolong milk tea, part of their Milk Tea Series. I've only ever seen it before while shopping in this area but finally was able to try it before I left to the shops. Honestly, super refreshing. Although there aren't seats inside, there are some benches outside this establishment with shade. Thankfully there was a breeze this day. Can't wait to come back hopefully with friends this time.
My husband and I wanted to try another milk tea spot aside from our usual "go to" nearby. Saw this place before but would pass it up because the few times we've walked by, there was often a congregating crowd out front. Came around 8pm on a Wednesday, so it wasn't too bad. Smaller interior with a couple of kiosks to enter your drink order, but you're also able to order at the counter as well. Order up (from the Milk Tea & Fruit Milk Tea Series): - Milk Tea (husband's) - Strawberry Milk Tea (mine) After piercing the straw with much excitement and anticipation for the steeped tea flavor to come through, but unfortunately it just wasn't there for us. Bummer..."Alittle Tea" was literally just a little tea, if that. Points for efficiency and free toppings. CHEERS and happy eating till next time...
I'd been wanting to check this spot out for a while, but I kept putting it off because there always seems to be a crowd hanging around outside the entrance. To be clear, it's not a line--just people loitering around the doors, which makes it a little uninviting. I ordered the Four Seasons milk tea and the ice cream black tea, and unfortunately both tasted like they were very light on tea flavor. The milk tea tasted mostly like milk, and the ice cream black tea tasted mostly like ice cream, with very little tea coming through. On the plus side, they use fresh milk, and you can definitely taste the quality, which I appreciated. It just overpowered the tea for me. I'd still come back to try some of the non-milk tea options and would be happy to update my review after trying those.
This tasty Taiwanese brand first caught my attention in the sgv area near Tawa plaza. Coincidentally, it's across from a Tawa plaza in Irvine! Now, any boba shop from the sgv area making its way down to Irvine is arguably likely to be good. And while the tea was one dimensional and straightforward, the fact that it's "nothing fancy" is why I've been here 3x this week already. If you want a reliable jasmine mt with endless toppings (no additional charge!!) then this is the place. The baristas are nice, the area is nice. Solid 8/10 Ig/Tiktok: socalyumiez
This spot is my go-to in Irvine now, the value makes it too good to pass up on and it's really close to where I live. This place is cheap, less than $6 for a large drink and it's free toppings, which makes it even better. It's located in a plaza with a ton of boba options, but I find myself coming back every time. I go for their black tea or milk tea. I will say that they can be inconsistent with the milk powder and syrup ratio since they measure everything by spoonful, so you should try their drink before you leave and make sure they made it correctly. Also do remember your order number after you order or else it gets a little confusing. When they get it correct, it's perfect, but I've also gotten watered down milk tea before. Their boba consistency is always top tier so I get all my drinks with boba. Their egg pudding is solid, but when I get boba and pudding, I find that they put less topping overall.
This place has quickly become one of my go-to boba spots! It's affordable, quick, and the toppings are free!! I usually get their milk teas, but if you look at the menu they offer a wide variety of options including slushies and matcha! The boba here is really good. It's chewy and always has the perfect texture! I also like to get the grass jelly or coffee jelly here. And did I mention the toppings are free?! I usually order online and the drink is ready by the time I arrive, so it's very convenient. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for reasonably priced boba is OC!
The previous Champion Food had permanently closed, and this new bubble tea shop took its place. I ordered an ice cream black tea. The amount of ice cream floating on top was very small, and even after asking for no ice, the tea still tasted thin and watered‑down. I would've been better off going to Heytea or Wushiland across the street. 之前的冠軍食品永久歇業了，換這家手搖。 點了杯冰淇淋紅茶七分糖。浮在杯頂的冰淇淋份量好少，即便去冰後茶湯味道還是淡稀水。 還不如去對街的喜茶或五十嵐。
I have been really loving ALittle Tea recently. The first time I tried it I wasn't too impressed, but it was amazing the second time and now I've been back almost every week oops. On the Hungry Panda app there are always discounts so I'm able to get a large milk tea with toppings for less than $3.50 it's such a good deal you really won't find anywhere else in Irvine. I like my drinks less sweet and I love that they actually honor the sweetness adjustments here- the first time I came here I got 30% sweetness and it actually needed more sweetness. Since then I've been getting 70% and it's perfect! My favorite I've tried here is the four season milk tea with the mini boba I'm obsessed.
Stopped by to try this new tea shop. The boba was chewy and fresh. Ordered via the kiosk and was reasonably priced. The service was quick for my order. There is no seatings inside and so you will have to just take the tea to go.
3.7 stars. Location is in a busy plaza- good luck with parking. Store isn't that spacious and there's not really seating for you to wait so it is primarily an order for pick up place. There's a kiosk on the left side of the store to order. Quality of the drinks is just about on par or a little less than the other locations. Wait time takes longer because less staff in this smaller location.
1st time getting bubble tea from here. I got the classic milk tea with boba, pudding and pearls. It's nice that these toppings came without additional charge. The self ordering kiosk was easy to use and order was done pretty quickly. The bubble tea was good overall, the boba wasn't as chewy as I would have lies
One of many tea shops in the same general area, but this location has the best prices. This shopping center is a little bit older so the parking lot is less organized and the lot can get very crowded at times. This location has no indoor seating available, but there are some outdoor tables and benches available that are shared by all the businesses. You order off of one of two kiosks inside. There are no alternative milk options listed on their menu. One of the factors that makes this location stand out is the price. It's on the cheaper side for current day boba prices and many of the topping options are included for free. The drinks are made at a pretty average speed and they had many online orders that they were also making at the same time. The quality of the tea is decent and the boba is cooked well. The drinks were very standard and nothing really stood out, but it's a good option for the price.
MY NEWEST OBSESSION! I'm Alittle Tea's biggest fan right now. The taste of the tea and boba remind me of Taiwan, especially with the price point! It tastes exactly like the boba I'd get in Taiwan... an authentic Taiwanese large milk tea boba for $5.50 is unheard of these days. I've been recommending this place to all of my friends lately, though I want to gatekeep it since there haven't been long lines yet. I'm glad it doesn't get super busy and the longest you'll have to wait is probably 10 minutes! I'm a milk tea person and this place really hits the spot for me. I've tried the green milk tea, classic milk tea, and four seasons milk tea all 75% sweet with boba and they're all delicious! I will say that if you're someone that likes a basic milk tea boba, this place will be right up your alley. It's nothing fancy--no frills--just good tea and boba at a great price (which is why I love it)! This did replace the Champion store that used to be there for decades. shoutout to them though, you will be missed :')

First time at Little Tea which took over the space previously occupied by Champion. Kiosk ordering is easy to navigate and you can vary the sugar and Ice level and has a good amount of toppings to add in. Friendly bobarista and the drinks tasted great! AND they have soy milk!! I highly rec the Matcha milk tea machciato ! read more
To be honest, I am disappointed, I thought that there will be real fruits in the Mango grapefuit (as seen in the photo on the menu) but it turns out that they just put mango syrup in it. Also, when they gave me my drink there's mango syrup all over it, I asked them to wipe it since it's really sticky. I think mango drink is now a thing for most boba place and most of them are using real mango not just syrup, so it's a no no for me and I didn't even finish my drink. The staffs are nice though, but I still wouldn't come back, there's a lot of boba places in that area that uses better quality ingredients. read more

$5 for boba these days can't be beat. Only some drinks are $5, like the milk tea but I paid $6.50 for a mango milk tea with sago. The wait was pretty long, it took around 20 minutes to get drinks. but free unlimited toppings make up for it! read more
I was so excited to see they were putting in one of my favorite boba places in Irvine!!! I think this is one if the most affordable boba places even with the crazy boba economy right now. I got two large drinks with toppings for $11. Whata deal :) I feel like beyond the cost the tea taste is fantatastic compared to other boba places. There milk tea is very well balanced Its located in a plaza which could have pretty bad parking unless you park by KFC! read more

I like a milky tea latte and this one comes with free topping also, and I tried the tea jelly. Delicious and refreshing. Price was very reasonable too. The milk brand they used on this day is Horizon which is one of my favorites. Kiosk ordering. Parking may be difficult during peak hours given all the restaurants in this center. No indoor seating. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

The place was really small. The milk tea is like a classic nostalgic milk tea that I had when I was little. I love how it was really inexpensive as boba drinks can cost up to $7-$9 now a days. Would come back for a quick boba fix. read more
I was highly anticipating another new boba shop in town but was a bit disappointed. I went to get the classic milk tea with boba as a good standard comparison. The boba itself was hard and not soft and chewy, definitely brought down the rating for me. I got 50% sweet but with the addition of the boba, it was still too sweet of a drink. The tea flavor also wasn't too strong. They had a lot of sold out or not available drinks. I came on a Tuesday night, so not sure if it's just later in the day, or they just haven't fully stocked up since opening. The bonus of this place is if you like toppings, they do have free toppings! I will come back and try their fruit teas next time as the milk tea was disappointing. read more

New boba spot in Irvine! I stopped by during their soft opening and tried the Pearl Milk Tea with boba since the Green Milk Tea was out of stock and I was pleasantly surprised. The drink had a nice balance of creaminess and tea flavor. The boba was soft with a perfect chew which made it really enjoyable! I also like that they offer free toppings, which is a nice bonus. As for service, it wasn't particularly memorable since you order from a self-serve kiosk and only interact with staff when picking up your drink. Overall, a solid boba spot and I'd definitely come back to try more! read more
It has great value and fast service, but the drinks didn't quite live up to the hype. Drink Easily the best deal in the area with cheap drinks and unlimited toppings, which is rare these days. The downside is the tea itself tastes more like syrup than actual tea, missing that rich, fresh flavor. It's fine if you want something sweet, but not if you're looking for good tea quality. Service Service was great. Even with a line, my order came out quickly and the staff stayed friendly and efficient. Definitely faster than other A Little Tea locations I've tried. Atmosphere The shop is small, so most people end up waiting outside. It's clean and simple inside but not really a place you'd hang around in, especially on a hot day. Overall, it's a solid stop for the price and the topping options, but the tea flavor needs work. I'd come back for the value, not the taste. read more

Drop a pin at the intersection of Jeffrey Road and Walnut Ave on your map because you've found boba paradise! The shopping centers on either side of Walnut Ave are home to multiple options - 7 Leaves, Lollicup, HeyTea, Wushiland and now ALittle Tea. I recently visited the only one I haven't yet tried and ordered the Apple Green Tea, one of ALittle Tea's new arrivals. They describe it as sweet, tangy and refreshing with real fruit bits and a refreshing apple taste. IMO this was an accurate description and what I felt really set the drink apart was the real fruit bits that were both sweet and tasty. With so many boba options around, I wonder if they can all compete and stay in business? read more

The wait here is way too long. Typically takes 20minutes which seems a bit high when you compare it to all the millions of boba shops here in Irvine. Theres no rhyme or reason to how they make the drinks. Random numbers being completed before others. Staff aren't even friendly to try and make the wait worth while. Also food safety doesn't seem to be in their minds. Watched an employee run outside to carry a dog in full uniform, getting dog fur on her apron. Then she proceeded to return to work and make drinks without dog fur on her apron still. read more

They need to definitely update their hours!!! I came here on Tuesday at 9pm and they were closed! Pretty disappointing because I really like this shop and have been to its other locations. I even drove 30 minutes out of my way to come here . read more

I normally enjoy the LA location and was excited to hear they opened one closer! Do be advised, this isnt the best boba in town BUT it is cheaper for a reason! Im not sure if it's just this location working out its kinks since opening but the tea quality is not that strong and a bit on the watery side nonetheless it will heal your boba cravings. I also find the boba to be quite on the plump side, making it hard to go through the straw. read more
