    Ube Latte and the Passion Guava fruit tea
    Sherie K.

    We're here to support the SAM (St. Angela school) today until 8pm. They had a cool deal where 20% proceeds go back to help middle schoolers in the area. We ordered the Ube Latte and the Passion Guava fruit tea and they were both delicious! They came out quickly and everyone was a happy camper in my house! Christian helped us while we were there and he was very nice to my son and I. He even got a "special straw" for my son which put a smile on his face! The inside was very small with 3 small stools for waiting, but the decor was fun and bright! I didn't realize Boba Flip was here but we'll be happy to come back!

    Strawberry Banana Swirl Smoothie

    The lady at the counter is so sweet! She's very patient and helps first timers with the menu. I went with one of their more popular items and it's so delicious! Definitely a shop you come back too!

    Came here the other day to try a milk tea and was absolutely mind blown. The quality of these drinks is superb. The space is super small so be aware, cause its always full (its that good, of course it has high demand) the girl who took my order was the sweetest and she explained to me the different topping options I had, how the flavors were, etc. i would come back here just for the service alone cause I was really impressed. Totally recommend

    Got coco Pandan Smoothie it was okay. Also tried the Lychee Tea it was ehhh. Maybe I'm just spoiled living in Irvine where we got some S tier boba spots.

    Family owned, always friendly and the Boba never disappoints!!!! Always made specifically to our liking. Our favorite Boba spot in all of Brea!! My personal favorite? Coconut Pandan. Yummmmmmy

    Really sweet team - they're a family owned and run business. The flavors are really unique, like black sesame sugar milk boba latte - a flavor I haven't seen anywhere else in the states, and it's tasty too! You can choose your sugar and ice level, and the boba itself was really chewy and soft at the same time, my preferred texture. I left it in the fridge for the next day and the boba wasn't hard even after sitting in the fridge!!!!! This rarely happens to me. I wish I lived closer so I can frequent it more often, but maybe that's bad for my waistline. If you ever find yourself near Boba Flip, please have one for me!

    Ube Latte
    Mariah P.

    Okay the ube latte actually tastes like ube! It's made with real ube jam which is a game changer. The ladies who helped me were super nice! No seating inside so you must get your order to go. I was only in town visiting but will definitely come back next time!!

    Great tea to keep me going at work.

    I love their boba! But what I also like is how sweet and kind they are all the time. Best boba in Brea!!!!

    Large size Coco Pandan Smoothie

    I was in the area for a class and Yelp surfaced this highly rated boba place nearby. It was later in the day so I selected the non-caffeinated Coco Pandan smoothie. The coconut flavor is from a powder and shows up as the dominant flavor. Pandan is present only in the green jelly and therefore present only in sips where jelly comes up the straw. With milk blended with ice it's a simple and refreshing drink. I customized sweetness (which comes from a syrup) down to 25% and it was still a bit sweet so maybe 0% would be better. Prices overall seem relatively lower than other boba chains I frequent. Maybe the might be competing against Half and Half, but having only tasted a single item I can't say for sure. Boba Flip has a rewards program which seems to be Buy 10 get 1 free.

    Matcha Swirl Smoothie

    A small boba shop but I loved my experience. The lady up front took care of me, made me feel welcomed, explained the menu throughly and she was so welcoming and inviting. Just went on google to find boba and came here. Haven't even tried my drink yet but know I'll be coming back just because they made me feel welcomed.

    I have order three times from them already. I order the gallon jugs for family parties and they are always such a hit! All the drinks are super delicious and I always receive compliments on the boba bar I set up. I order different drink each times and my guests always love it.

    Blueberry Swirl Smoothie, Assam Black Milk Tea
    Catherine B.

    If you're looking for a boba place in Brea/Placentia/Yorba Linda area, I won't turn you away from Boba Flip. It's convenient and rare: a small, clean to-go only shop in the (probs only) part of OC that doesn't have much Asian food. The employees are also super kind and speak English fluently. They are cash-free but they have both employee-manned and kiosk options for ordering. That said, I personally won't be returning. For one, I go to Buena Park and Irvine almost daily and they have the real deal for boba and teas. Second, I'm the type of person who pursues good food over convenient ones anyway. I got the Assam milk tea with boba and the blueberry swirl smoothie. The swirl smoothies are pretty - very Instagram-worthy if you're into that. Both drinks were average tasting. The boba was small, scarce, and not the best-quality. If you're in the area and need a pick me up, go for it! You can even get 10% discount for checking in on Yelp. If you identify as a boba-connoisseur or live in a more densely Asian-populated area, I'd skip.

    Such a cute little place! I wanted to try a new boba place in the area and found this so I hurried over. It is small inside, and has no indoor seating other than a handful of stools to sit on while waiting for your drink. The interior is basically just a bit of floor space and the counter, so it's a grab your drink and go setup, which worked for me since I was taking mine out with me anyway! The man who greeted me at the counter was really friendly. I told him it was my first time there and asked which drinks are popular. He recommended an Ube drink, a strawberry swirl smoothie thing, and tiger boba. All sounded great and the smoothie was described as having a vanilla cream or something in it? I need to try that another time! But this visit I just wanted a classic milk tea drink with boba, so I ended up ordering the Hokkaido milk tea. They weren't busy so it only took a few minutes to get my drink. A lady came out from the back and gave it to me; she seemed really nice as well. Great friendly service! My drink was delicious! I ordered it 50% sweet. Normally I like to taste things exactly as they come when trying it for the first time, but I am trying to be good so I had the sugar reduced and I'm glad I did. It tasted perfect! The boba is a little bit smaller than I am used to, but it was soft and chewy. Perfect texture! I am frequently in the area so will be back again soon. The black sesame tiger boba sounds good, and it seems I have a bunch of drinks to try! My *only* issue I ran into (which isn't a real problem but I want to mention anyway) is the Yelp "10% off your first order". It is advertised on the page and when I went to check in it gave me nothing to redeem. No big deal, but if this is supposed to work it didn't or maybe it need to be taken down if they aren't doing it anymore. Great place, great drinks, friendly staff!

I legit am on my third day (in a row..don't judge me) of stopping by to order the pineapple Alice. I love me some pineapple & coconut any day, so this drink was a winning combo for me. In a nutshell, it's Greek yogurt blended with fresh pineapple, and topped with their house-made coconut whip. First time I got 50% sweetness level, which is good, but being a fruity smoothie, I would have preferred it a lil sweeter, thus 2nd & 3rd time around, I learned my lesson and got 80%..and it was perfect! Trust..it wasn't overly sweet at all. It was dreamy heaven. I happened to be in the area, getting a tattoo and wanted to refuel before I trekked the trafficky drive home to Irvine (UGH..at 2:30 pm on a Wednesday, no less). Super thankful, I discovered this new looking Brea location (on State College Blvd ~ right near the freeway entrance) and it didn't have a crazy wait/line. The store was clean, w/ minimalistic neutral decor..loved the chill aesthetic vibe. The cute wooden pillars as you enter was interesting, but caught me a bit off-guard, as it was right in front of the pick-up area. You have to explore further inside the store to the order line. Service was great and efficient. OMOMO is highly recommended by this RxFoodie (and my 2nd fav boba shoppe in OC still), so def go check it out and become addicted like ME!

They lack providing better descriptions of drinks for new customers and the options are boring. There were zero pastries or food options to pair with your drink. It was only a small drink menu. The customer service was good! The young lady at the counter was very kind and did her best to explain different sweetness and bitterness levels but she couldn't really describe the drinks and recommend anything based on comparisons with what is more popular. As for ambiance it was empty and had no customers. There were no tables to sit and enjoy your drink. So I think people prefer to go to other boba shops that offer at least a small seating area with a table. That was disappointing to see when I walked in. As for flavor... my drink tasted powdery and warm. The boba pearls were a bit stale. I wont be coming back. There are plenty of other boba locations that offer much higher quality drinks and the price point is exactly the same. Overall I'll give a 2/5 star for cleanliness and because the customer service was good.

I had ordered a milk tea and their Thai tea and was super disappointed with the flavor it was complete milk unfortunately and no sweeteners despite us having the 100% sweetener option. The drinks came out very far from each other time wise as well which isn't a super big issue but it's noticeable and could be an issue for bigger orders. Super busy somehow so we didn't want to burden the worker while the store had a rush. Other than that the place gave me a very pretentious vibe. I'm all for starting a business you're passionate about but it's hard to see what's different about THIS cafe in a world full of other businesses claiming to be different that's serving the same items (matcha specifically). Not to say that there's not bad matcha or coffee out there, there is. Seems like the type of cafe people go to take a picture of their drinks and pretend like they're connoisseurs and pretend that it's "different" than whatever else is out there and sit and pretend to study on their laptop (even though it's the loudest and crowded place in the world in there). Seeing that the place opened recently, it's very hard to believe this isn't some type of money grab for a younger audience to serve trendy drinks. Or at the very least, a very expensive passion project for the owner. Overall just more focused on aesthetics more than anything.

The tea was lightly sweetened perfectly to my liking, smooth, and clearly crafted by someone who respects tea leaves more than I respect my sleep schedule.

That summer you saved me, like the first bite of something new when you thought you'd forgotten what butterflies felt like. The season changed and you suddenly disappeared.... just an empty pink box on the counter. Only crumbs remain now, where your strawberry-glazed humor used to melt into every moment like sugar on warm dough. My heart split like a jelly donut. Still, I'm grateful as the world is as it should be. I pass by the donut shop on 66 and smile. People think it's just about donuts. But once.... a long time ago, one saved my life.
