    When I went a few nights ago, I had a few drinks. The tiramisu brulee milk tea was SUPER sweet, and I got it with brown sugar boba which tasted a bit old, mushy, the flavors didn't mix well. I also tried the house black milk tea with brown sugar boba, it was just a regular milk tea, nothing too special. Very cool interior! I'm going to have to come back to try the coffee

    The store is pretty cute, space theme. Interior certainly makes you feel like your in a shop that's based in space. Decorations are quite visible and very much a good background for your pictures. There's two self ordering kiosks which is great to avoid wait times. Seem like a solid spot for people to hangout at as there's some tables/seats on the left. Other than that, just standing space. I was decently happy about my matcha Oreo brulee. However, I wasn't expecting the cup to be this small compared to my partner's drink. On top of that, the drink didn't look fully filled as it was topped with tons of ice even though my order had the ice less option. A bit disappointed on that end although the taste of the drink was pretty delicious. A great mix of brulee, Oreo flakes and matcha was a unique taste that's not too common in most shops. It's either one or the other but this had both. Highly recommend this drink, can see why it's one of the most popular drinks. Parking here however is a bit of a nightmare especially during peak hours. Although it's a sizeable lot, finding parking is a struggle which the amount of congestion around. Drinks came out pretty quick which was a nice plus. Would come back to try other options as their menu is quite extensive.

    Astra Bean is a modern boba tea shop with some cool space-themed decor. This spot is located in a plaza with a decent amount of parking spots, but things can get tight depending on the day and time you come. Inside, they have about 3-4 tables for seating. For their menu, they have a nice selection of different matcha, fruit tea, and coffee drinks to choose from. I got the Manderine Acerola and wifey got the Matcha Jasmine Oolong. We both enjoyed the flavor profile of our drinks. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely check this spot out for your next boba run in OC!

    This place is so different from regular boba shops it is definitely out of this world "wink wink" The jelly they make is so good I tried jasmine jelly with my jasmine oolong. They also use organic lactose free milk that is delicious in a drink. We also tried strawberry cheese drink and peach hibiscus and they were all pretty and yummy.

    Cute little shop with plenty of outside parking. I ordered the matcha Oreo brûlée and I wish it was creamier, but overall the matcha flavor is good!

    I've passed by this boba shop and seen posts on social media about this spot for a few months now, but I didn't get the space theme so I never stopped in. They are currently running a BOGO deal and I was in the shopping plaza & luckily found a parking spot. I told the cashier it was my 1st time and she was very helpful, even offered some samples of their milk teas. I ended up getting: 1. Matcha Jasmine Milk Tea 2. Dragonfruit Tea Both were refreshing & not too sweet. The cups & bag were also high quality. I'm glad I stopped in and definitely plan to come back again (if I can find a parking spot)

    cups weren't filled all the way to the top.

    The drinks were pretty good. The packaging is cute and they use high quality bags for to-go. But behold my surprise when I took the drinks out of the bag and found that they didn't even fill the cups all the way. The drinks are priced okay but companies should always fill the drink cups to the rim. Parking in this plaza is pretty terrible. It's always been busy when I've come and all the stalls feel like they're meant for compact cars (I drive a small SUV).

    Cute concept for a boba shop and I do love themed dining all sorts. I'm not sure exactly what inspired the space theme but I found it thoroughly entertaining. I got the coconut Vietnamese coffee and and man, was I wide awake the whole afternoon. I was a little bummed when the coffee didn't fill up the cup. I'm not sure if this is typical but there's just something about getting a partially empty cup of coffee that doesn't feel right. Parking is a bit rough in this complex. There's just way too many businesses and not enough spots and all of them are super small.

    Came for some late night boba and the Durian Avocado drink caught my eye. As a Vietnamese person, these are my favorite flavors. However, the drink was not good at all. The aftertaste was really bad, tasted like throw up. I'm disappointed because I assumed this was Viet owned considering the location, therefore, I believed the quality of this drink should've been better. Will not come again.

    Acerola Dragon Fruit & Matcha Jasmine Oolong
    Justin C.

    Astra Bean is a cute shop located in a strip mall with ample parking. I went pretty late at night though so the parking lot was fairly empty. The inside is decorated really nicely and themed around outer space. You can order at the kiosk they have in the front or also place an order for pickup. They were pretty quick to make our drinks and they all turned out pretty good. I would definitely consider this as an option again. Staff: 5/5 Sanitation: 5/5 Acerola Dragon Fruit (4/5) The acerola drinkn was interesting. There were bits of what seemed like kumquat or maybe lemon rinds in it that I wasn't expecting but didn't hate. It tasted really fruity but I wouldn't say I could taste the dragonfruit in the drink. Matcha Jasmine Oolong (5/5) This drink was really good. The matcha was light but you could still taste it through the Oolong tea. I think the tea in this drink was well brewed. I would definitely order this again.

    Astra Bean is a great spot for drinks (coffee, boba, fruit teas and specialty drinks) The drinks are good, and everything comes out impressively quick. The customer service really stands out very friendly, welcoming, and efficient, making the whole experience smooth from start to finish. The interior is so cool! The astronaut space theme is unique, modern, and super clean, making it a fun place to hang out or grab something on the go. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality drinks, great vibes, and fast, top-notch service!

Walking into the shop, you're greeted with a dark gray concrete vibe with plenty of matching decor. They've got some multiroaster vibes too, which means they're slinging beans like Dak, La Cabra, and more! Robusta and Arabica heads can both rejoice! They've also got a nice little patio to just rest and relax at while you enjoy your drinks. I've had a few pretty deep conversations coming out of this place. Okay, even though I did come to a coffee shop, I did end up getting a hojicha latte that was roasty, nutty, and delicious alongside the vanilla notes that they add. Great choice for some of you who don't do so well with caffeine. It's easy to drink, and thoughtfully prepared! I got something a little different. It was a strawberry co-ferment espresso in a cappuccino ratio. You could really taste that strawberry come through, and having it hot and with milk was a perfect choice. Fruity, complex, and funky! Love to see places serving co-ferments. I don't think it's over-played in specialty coffee, and I do appreciate having the option! And, I didn't get it today, but getting a fancy pour-over at this spot really hits. If you coffee sweats like the fun stuff, you'll have plenty of that here! If you're looking for both fun coffee and great day, no doubt you should check out Re Ca Phe!

The workers are really nice and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I tried their Earl Grey Matcha Latte, and it's honestly one of the best I've had. Not many places offer this combination, so whenever I see it on a menu, I have to try it. What I really liked about this one is how well balanced it is. The earl grey is light enough that it doesn't overpower the matcha, so you can actually taste both flavors clearly without one taking over the other. The Hojicha Vanilla Cream Latte was also really good. The cream on top was silky, smooth, and rich, adding a nice layer of sweetness that paired well with the roasted, nutty flavor of the hojicha. It made the drink feel really comforting and well put together.

I usually don't order banana matcha from other places because it tends to be too sweet or has that weird artificial, almost Laffy Taffy kind of aftertaste. But this one was completely different. It wasn't overly sweet, and you can tell they use fresh bananas. The flavor was really balanced with a light tropical taste, and the matcha still came through nicely without being too strong or getting overpowered. Everything blended really well together. I also wanted to mention how kind the baristas are. I was waiting outside so I wouldn't block the entrance in case other customers came in, and as I was waiting, the barista brought out my drink.

Luckily there was no line on a Saturday afternoon. I got the Dex matcha delight with oat milk and less ice. I like how strong the matcha drink is, but you can still taste some of the cinnamon. For the price of the drink it's a bit sad how much you get. It makes me wonder how much ice they use by default and how that could really dilute the drink. I also got the vanilla latte which was pretty good and strong. Same story with the amount you get. I posted some photos as a reference after just taking a sip to try both drinks. Staff was nice and the interior was clean. Parking is spacious and was not much of an issue. Overall, this is place is about a 3.5 star for me. I've been to a bunch of other coffee shops with a similar flavor profile and quality, but at a better price point. I may come back in the future to try their other drinks, but it won't be one of my regular places.

But, I was really taken aback on my most recent experience, so I wanted to share in hopes that management will see this and make easy, immediate changes. I walked in, there was no line. There was only one lady sitting on a stool by the door, maybe waiting for her friend? I don't know. From the one worker in there: No hello (cue Lionel Richie). No good morning. No welcome in. No eye contact. No nothing. The worker was slowly doing stuff: holding pitchers of liquids. They were open since 9, and it was 10, so I have no idea. She could have easily said that she'll be with me in a minute. Nope. No eye contact, no acknowledgement, no I see you. Nothing. So, I stared at the pastry case and noticed it said SOLD OUT on two of the pastries I went in there for: the malasada with vanilla bean custard and the plain croissant. Thoughts going through my mind: How are they sold out already within an hour of opening? Plus, it's empty in here. What should I get instead? I stared at the menu on the wall, thinking, wow, prices went up again. That's crazy. I waited an uncomfortable amount of time. This whole time, she looks like she doesn't want to be there. She has a dreary look on her face. Honestly, life, especially now is definitely dreary, but we have to put our best foot forward especially on the job. I was really amazed in the most negative way, so I just left. This is the location that sells malasadas, so it's a real shame.

NEP has a ton of parking outside, and offers plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I really loved the interior of the restaurant, there's a few different sections with different vibes while still maintaining that modern feel throughout. The staff were all SUPER friendly, which I really appreciated. Vibes and Service were both top notch. On the food front unfortunately, there's certainly room for improvement. The chicken wings were VERY salty courtesy the fish sauce, I wish that the chili and garlic could be tasted but the fish sauce overpowered the dish (the wings were also on the dry side which didn't help). The seafood ceviche was very bright and refreshing, my main critique is the use of shrimp chips vs. a rice chip, as the shrimp chip adds a salty element that kind of overpowers the dish IMO. The garlic noodles were delicious and probably my favorite item, but the shrimp it came with was bland and more of a hassle to eat than anything. I'd recommend they removed the shells or did a better job marinating the shrimp so that it actually had more flavor than just being an oily mess to eat. I will say, everything was visually appealing, but the flavors just weren't there unfortunately. I would like to revisit again and try some other items next time, because NEP does have a ton to offer. I wouldn't necessarily recommend any of the items I had today, but I'd certainly give this place another shot.
