My fresh drink with too much ice and not enough brown sugar. You can barely see it at the bottom of the cup.
Jennifer L.

I grabbed some boba with a couple of friends on our way out of town. After a day at Huntington Beach we wanted something refreshing for the road. We ordered two drinks. I had the brown sugar tea. The prices were not listed. Over seven dollars with tip was a little steep, but it is near the beach so I excused it. The woman at the counter was pleasant and kind and the store looked clean, so I bumped this to two stars. I snapped a picture as I was walking to the car. I took my first sip after we were on our way. I took my third drink a few moments later and the drink was finished. There was so much ice and so little brown sugar I was as disappointed as I have been with a drink in my memory. If I was not already driving away I would have gone back, I have never gone back before. It was maybe a half cup of tea. Maybe. The taste was fine, but it feels like a scam. With mostly tourists they likely get away with it. I take visiting friends to Huntington Beach regularly, we will not be returning here. I wanted so much to like this place.

It's a small place inside but there are chairs you can sit and hang out outside. It's not my cup of tea. The milk tea is too sweet and has a different flavor compared to other milk teas that I'm not used to. The service was fast. I was the only one there so the cashier made my drink right after I ordered. The frustrating thing was I bought a bottle of water and was charged $3.23. The boba was about $6 so that's okay. But $3 for water? You got that bottle at Costco for less than a quarter.

There's my spilled, super small, $8 taro tea that I hadn't even taken a sip out of yet
Sarah S.

Been coming here for years not for the service, but for the amazing taro boba tea and ice cream. I always tip on top of what I order, the person who works at the front never remembers me although I've been a regular for literally years. My drink was spilled today by accident from another person who was just trying to pet my dog, it was a complete accident. I hadn't even taken a sip of my drink and the woman who works there refused to give me a refill or even fill the drink back up what was lost. She scoffed at me and made me feel extremely uncomfortable when I asked for the tip back that I gave her... she told me "not my fault." it dumbfounds me how I've tipped this woman enough money to pay for this same drink dozens of times over the years but she wouldn't refill it after it was spilled not even 2 minutes after receiving it? Never coming here again. Really bums me out because I actually did love this place. I now understand why it is always completely empty. And if anyone who owns a business is curious to know how you lose a loyal customer of years, that is how.

a room full of plants

Plants and boba.. what more could you want? This small boba shop is located in downtown Huntington. It's hidden between two buildings and can be a little tough to find. Inside you'll find floor to ceiling plants, including fan-favorites and even a few rarities! All the plants are for sale if you're looking to expand your collection. I ordered a Watermelon tea with boba and light ice. This beverage was lightly sweetened and the perfect way to end my night.

So many houseplants
Jennifer B.

Was wandering down Main Street when we saw a sign advertising for boba at a place called Bobasaur pointing down one of the side streets. Of course we had to check it out. After following the signs for a few more turns, came across this place. It's tucked away in a smaller side street so without the signs or google maps to navigate, can be tough to find. Super cute vibes!!! Mom and pop kind of shop. Owner was warm and friendly; they sell tons of house plants lining the shelves and I was so tempted to take one home. Drinks/boba are nothing to write home about: ordered the taro milk tea which was a little too sweet (even when asking for 50% sugar adjustment). Was told the the drink had no caffeine which is bizarre because what kind of tea are they using then? Likely made from powder mix. The menu is very basic and classic.

Was able to make me a strawberry lemonade even tho it wasn't on the menu. They also have plants for sale ! Service was fast and friendly.

Milk tea with Boba.. mainly ice and about 4-6 oz of fluid
Diane V.

$6.99 for a milk tea with boba. As you can see the fluid was like 4-6 oz and it was all ice. Never ever going back to pay for overpriced ice

Devoney A.

Honestly boba wasn't great but it was pretty average...the whole experience here was weird. Crazy expensive for very mediocre boba and when we asked for light ice they purposefully put less liquid in so the cup wasn't even full. No music playing inside and they are selling lots of other snacks while they should be focusing on making better boba. they have such a good location I wish they would make better boba drinks!

I absolutely love this place!! I enjoy the selection of items you could add to your tea as well as…read morethe different types of tea. I also love the fact that they steam your tea fresh right there in front of you. Unlike other places that pre-make the tea and it just sits in a picture until you order it. This is all made fresh to order. It is fascinating to watch them make the teas, how they put it in the machine and steam them. Best place ever and I wish they had more locations as this one is a little bit harder to get to due to how busy the shopping center can get and trying to find parking. I go to this place every single time we go to Bella Terra but I unfortunately will not make a trip just to go there as that parking can be challenging on most days. You can park in the free parking structure as there is plenty of parking there, but then you got to hike over the stores. So it is definitely not a quick trip in and out place. I also have their stamp card where you can earn a free drink. The prices are decent and the place is always super clean. It is a small location so there is no indoor seating however, you can sit outside at the tables. If you are looking for them, they are down the way from the movie theater closer to the back parking area where valet stores the cars. They are close to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Every time I have gone there my tea has been made perfectly and it's not too strong or overbearing. They used to sell a lot of different cute tea sets. However, I've noticed over time there's less and less there on the shelves. But that is okay. I am there for the fresh stuff anyhow. Make sure you go early and don't wait close to closing time as sometimes they do close a little bit earlier than some of the other places. I will definitely keep coming back here

The Durian Millie Crepe Cake by itself deserves the 5 stars. It cost us $77, and we had to wait two…read moredays before we could pick it up. This business can thank its lucky stars that their cake is DELICIOUS! I almost wanted to share some slices with others, but decided against it because I was feeling selfish! The durian is fresh and ripe. If you are a durian-enjoyer, you will love this cake. (If you are not a durian-enjoyer, you're missing out and should grow up!) My mum heard about this cake a couple years ago when her friend brought one to a party. On the day we got here, there were no pre-made cake slices for us to purchase, so in a classic us-move, we decided to order a whole cake. We also timed ourselves perfectly and ordered some drinks during happy hour. The drinks were good; I liked the house's milk tea. As is my policy, I always order what the house is proud of. This feels like a cozy space for to do work. I imagine young college-aged adults coming here to mingle.

[Parking]: Large and free parking plaza and I had no issue finding an available parking spot. [Atmosphere]: A pretty quiet cafe and I saw a group of people having a study session. They have one unisex restroom. [Menu]: Unfortunately they ran out of Matcha Green Tea Mille Crêpe Cake when I came here on Sunday at 3 PM. The top Yelp highlighted drinks are #11 Houses Milk Tea (house special blended black tea, creamer & boba), #1 Pacific Sunrise (white tea, hibiscus, mint leaves and orange), #2 Strawberry Twist (jasmine tea, strawberry & lime juice), and #3 Lychee Oolong (oolong tea & lychee puree). *** Pacific Sunrise (white tea, hibiscus, mint leaves and orange - $4.95): Somewhat refreshing drink with an interesting combo, but unfortunately the drink didn't hit the spot. As few other Yelpers had stated, this drink tasted a bit watered-down but personally the water-to-tea ratio was passable. No pun intended, but this drink is not everyone's cup of tea. *** I can't say it was a superb experience given (1) they ran out of Matcha Green Tea Mille Crêpe Cake 5 hours before closing time and (2) the drink tasted mediocre.

The Moon Coffee is a really cute cafe that is decorated head to toe in cutesy stuff. Jellycats, knickknacks, and most importantly, great seating. I strolled in, as I always do, to get my flavor-of-the-week matcha. This particular day, it was a strawberry pistachio matcha. It's always consistently good. Great sweetness, good milk, and perfectly balanced between bitter and grassy. I'm very happy to have a matcha spot in this part of Costa Mesa. Now, that being said, what prompted my review was actually looking at their retail shelf. There was coffee from Loquat, DAK, and Tanat just to name a few. Heavy hitters in the specialty space for sure. I had mentioned to the barista behind the counter whether they are hard-focused on supplying great pourovers or espresso. She said they didn't really use those coffees on the shelf in the store itself, but offered me a doubleshot as a sample! I was so grateful, and it was a very nice interaction to have with someone. I think I'll come back and have a coffee next time! The Moon Coffee, the Coffee spot for Matcha nerds? I guess so!

I ordered the banana hojicha latte with regular milk. It was decently good. I love how they use real banana, it always enhances the flavor by a lot. I do wish the hojicha was a bit stronger, but that is my personal preference. I'm not sure if it was diluted by regular milk and would have stood out more with alternative choices. I do think the drinks here are on the more expensive side, so I don't think I would come here as frequently. They do have a good amount of seating and free WiFi to catch up with friends or get work done.

Me and my husband have become regulars here ever since we found out about a boba place closer to…read morewhere I work. There's something about the Japanese Brown Rice Tea w/ Salted Milk Foam and Coconut Slush with Grass Jelly that keeps us coming back for more. I've tried the milk tea version of the Japanese Brown Rice Tea but I definitely prefer the fresh tea version of it. I've even tried it at different sweetness levels and all of them taste so good! For me, nothing tops the brown rice tea even though I have tried their other fresh teas available. My husband loves how well blended his coconut slush is and that it never has ice chunks. His drink is on the sweeter side but the pairing of the coconut with grass jelly is a nostalgic flavor profile he really enjoys from here. We also tried the Cinnamon Cream Croffle today. Unfortunately we ate it so fast that I forgot to take a picture. It was my first time having a croffle and it tasted amazing! Loved the cream that was used with it and it was just the right sweetness for us. Overall, Bobapop is such a cute small boba café with frenchies as their mascot. They have fun little trinkets such as pins and keychains near the entrance that they sell as well. The owner, Halia, is very nice and always greets us warmly and with a smile. It's gotten to the point where I believe she memorized our go to order for our fave drinks lol. Their drinks have been very consistent and we're glad to be regulars there. Can't wait to go back again next time!

Stopped by Boba Pop Tea Bar and ordered the Brown Sugar Latte with boba (medium, normal ice, 70%…read moresweetness). The drink was okay, but still sweeter than I expected even at 70% sweetness. I honestly can't imagine how sweet it would be at 100%. The boba was a little too chewy for my preference, and I've definitely had better elsewhere. The drink was reasonably priced at $5.75, so it didn't feel overpriced. One thing I appreciated was that there is parking behind the building near the back entrance, which made it easy to get in and out. They also have a few small two-person tables inside. I was able to grab a seat, enjoy my milk tea, and spend some time reading my book while I was there. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it wasn't memorable enough for me to come back. Glad I tried it, but there are other boba shops I prefer.
