i've been coming to calitea for years, and it's still one of my go-to spots whenever i'm craving boba or something sweet. today i got the cold brew with coffee jelly and no ice. the coffee jelly added a nice texture, and i never add ice to my drinks because i don't want them diluted. my other favorites here are the cali milk tea, the rooibos milk tea, and the chocolate frappe. nobody talks about the rooibos enough. it's a great caffeine-free option! the shop and restrooms are always clean, and the staff are sweet. prices are reasonable too. parking in Marina Village is easy since there are usually plenty of open spaces. read more

Absolutely a 5-star experience at CaliTea in Huntington Beach! I ordered the honeydew milk tea, and the sweetness level was perfect--not too sweet, just right. The flavor was amazing; it had a subtle banana-like note that made it really unique without being overpowering. The drinks here are crafted so well, and you can tell they pay attention to balance and quality. On top of that, the service was great--friendly and efficient. I highly recommend giving this spot a try if you're in the area! read more

I'm not sure how this boba shop got 4.4 stars after our experience here. While in the area, I was hoping to find good tea based on the ratings, but instead I got a watered down sweet milk instead of quality Jasmine milk tea. My husband ran in to get my order and noted that the tea was premade and in a jug instead of what was advertised, "fresh brew". Also the boba here was not fresh as it's your typical blacks pearls and super hard when we got our drink. For all boba lovers, be warned, you're better off going to a chain tea shop instead of this place. What waste of $6.55 (over priced for watered down sweet milk). read more

I have been here a couple times. I also have gone when they're closed. Three times I have gone over there in one month and the taped note on the door said sorry closed early. Also said sorry not open today. It's a bummer. I'd like to try their drinks. But it is impossible when they're closed at 3:30pm. read more

The person working was doing everything himself. I felt bad because we came in to order 7 drinks while there were more people that came in. Although it isn't the biggest place it was clean and modern looking. One thing that stood out to me was the tea machine. Usually you would see coffee espresso machines (which they also have) but that was quite neat. The drinks were good I believe that is the most important thing. Will def stop by again if I am in the area. Until next time.. read more

I like the drinks here and came here a few times after recently moving here and started working nearby, but I noticed the girl working there kinda makes a face or rolls her eyes whenever I come in and order or whenever she says bye to me. Idk what I did bc I only come in to order and am always polite, but it made me feel unwelcome and I don't really want to come back. I think it's mainly high schoolers working there too, and I thought I'd never had to encounter high school mean girl energy again until now read more

We love Cali Tea! We were so sad when the Cerritos location closed. They brew their tea fresh and boba is also freshly made. We always get our drinks 50% sweet to really taste the tea flavors. Show them some love to keep the doors open! read more

This was a quick stop on our way to the beach & the drinks were soooo refreshing! The employee recommended his favorite the LyBerry Tea (off menu item) and it was so tasty! I added Aloe which I love places that offer all the best Add-ons. We ordered 2 other drinks- a Mango Slush & Passion Fruit Green Tea. All were sweet and had some fruit in them that was a perfect hint. It was in a cute lil shopping center and the whole store was super clean. The restroom was nice and clean too! I wish there was a location near me! read more

CaliTea is in a great spot right across from the high school in a Huntington Beach shopping center, where there aren't many other options. We've been a few times, my daughter loves the #2 brown sugar boba milk tea. Today I tried the mocha frappe for the first time. What I like most is that it's always quiet with no line, the prices are fair, and the service is quick. My daughter really enjoys the milk tea and boba, but the frappe didn't have much mocha flavor, it was just okay and I wouldn't get it again. Overall, we'll keep coming back for my daughter's favorite boba drink. read more

Water down milk water was what my Cali milk tea tasted like. You can tell by the color of the tea that's with just milk water. No tea flavor at all. For $6.50, it was a waste of my time and money. I will not be returning forsure. read more

Awesome service to get with quality ingredients. Love the fresh lemonade I got. Peaceful to enjoy sitting here. Nice decor too to look.

Really nice place, take a while to get an order and music is sometimes too loud. Drinks are really good and refreshing. Sometimes ordering takes a bit, i recommend ordering online and picking it up. read more

We ordered the peach cantaloupe with lychee jelly and it was really refreshing! Then my family ordered a slush and the server Jason was very patient and understanding. He made us feel welcomed and accommodated us. I will definitely head back for the organic drink and wonderful service! read more

Ran into this little quaint coffee/tea shop as I thought Starbucks across the street in vons had some seating to study. but finding out they didn't! Then behold, CaliTea a hole in the wall from outside, but inside withholds a clean and simple interior. Got my notorious cold brew, and this is absolutely fantastic. I can taste the roast and dark powers infused in every sip. A coffee shop with a good cold brew means the rest of the menu is made organically and authentically. Was greeted and served well at the front :) Also free Wi-Fi for studying and surfing the web! Cheers CaliTea read more

Guess it's time to stop coming to this location. I used to come here every day, as staff and hours have changed, we've visited less frequent, mostly on weekends. We came today, iced Vietnamese coffee. Again, we were handed the drink completely white. Asked for it to be remade three times, and this is what we were handed the third time and finally left. The taste is not even close to a Vietnamese coffee and it's not even close to full? read more

Plenty of parking in this plaza. So many choices, clean and cute interior. We came here for the almond milk tea. Not many places make that anymore. Was not a fan. The drink was not as sweet, more on the bland side. We didn't not alter the sweetness or ice level. I got the roasted oolong milk tea. I definitely tasted the "roasted" flavor. Aside from being known for making each drink with freshly brewed tea, I didn't get anything special out of this place. They sell items like crispy spicy beef jerk. So good. It's like strips of crispy chips. read more

I started my birthday week off right by coming to have tea here in the afternoon today! It's across the street from Marina High School and I happened to come by after the lunch rush, so I was the only one in the shop when I stopped by. I placed my order ahead of time and the barista asked me how long it would be until I arrived so that the drinks would be sitting for the least amount of time. I appreciated her asking this question because nobody likes watery tea or lemonade! We were right around the corner, so it only took us about 5 minutes to roll right over. When I walked in, the barista removed my order from a fridge and rang me up. A little over $10 for (2) 16 oz drinks, not bad at all. The coffee & tea shop is a little on the small side and has 3 tables inside - (2) 4 chair tables and a (2) chair table, too. I really loved the ambiance and feel inside the coffee shop because of the gorgeous large mural on the wall when you first walk in. It's perfect for showing off your pretty drink selections! I liked that the matcha latte could be customized to be made with almond milk and really liked the flavor of it - it was less sugary than most places and you could taste the flavor of the matcha. The strawberry lemonade was for my mom and she said she really enjoyed it and that's she's looking forward to coming back and having the lemonade again in the future or trying something new. As for me, I'm looking forward to coming back and having their matcha latte again or maybe their matcha frappacino instead. I am glad that i started my birthday week off by coming here for my matcha latte and look forward to coming back here soon, especially since it's a couple of miles from my house. read more

I was craving a hot tea and wanted to stay local so I checked Yelp and headed over. I ordered a basic hot jasmine milk tea and off I went. Upon first sip, I was disappointed. It didn't taste like jasmine at all and had a hint of burnt plastic. Maybe it occurred when they were brewing it? The place is cute, clean and the menu is enticing but I probably won't got back if a basic jasmine green tea is sub par. Unfortunately, this missed the mark for me. read more

Love the latte there. The price is good too. I wish they add more kids friendly boba teas. We have ordered multiple times, but taste is different. I guess this is because they don't have a recipe and custom make it for kids. read more

I bookmarked this place for the boba but ended up loving their smoothie! Oolong Milk Tea (~$5) - the quality of the tea is apparent at first sip. The boba was great and comparable to other boba shops. Lava Flow smoothie (~$6) - so tasty and what I would want to drink on a hot day. The pineapple had just enough tartness and the strawberry syrup mellowed it out a bit. Add in aloe Vera and you got the perfect drink! read more

I was so happy to find this place. It is small but super cute. The people who served me are very sweet. I got a good cup of coffee. I traveled 30 mins to get here because I don't want chemicals in my coffee. Glad I did because I was pleasantly surprised how delicious the coffee is. Sooo grateful. read more

Came here to say something that another reviewer said as well: understaffed. I also came in on a day where there was only one person. Luckily for me, it wasn't as crowded as the other review I was reading. Our order did take a solid 10 minutes, though. I'm not holding too much against the place, sometimes staffing issues cannot be helped. Unfortunately, we ordered two bobas, and took maybe three sips from each. We were extremely unimpressed with our drinks, and I take no pleasure in saying that they went in the trash not long after. Surprisingly enough, strictly from reading these Yelp reviews, I might actually be back and try it one more time. At which point, I will happily change my review. But in the meantime, this was very disappointing. read more

This is still one of my favorite places for oolong milk tea but my recent visits have been inconsistent quality wise. I ordered an Avocado Smoothie and Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with boba. Avocado smoothie wasn't bad but adding boba to it was not the move. In general the boba quality on this day was bad. The boba was more firm and harder to chew instead of the perfect soft and chewy texture I've experienced before. Also I don't know if I'm crazy but it seemed like they used a smaller boba pearl than before which I'm not a fan of. The last few times the boba itself had a grainy texture which I assume is grains of brown sugar. Not really a texture that I want to experience while drinking because it feels like sand in between my teeth. I was also not a fan of the use of a physical lid instead of the normal sealed boba cup film. The lid on the avocado smoothie did not seem to fit the cup well so when I went to pick up the drink, the lid was coming off which almost made me spill it in the car. I also decided to order my roasted oolong 50% sweet since 75% was still a bit too sweet last time. 50% was almost perfect but just a little bit not sweet enough. I'm hoping the boba quality was just a mistake for that day only because I would like to keep on getting drinks from here as long as I know the quality will be good. read more

For takeout on June 1, 2023 We wanted some tea drinks after going to the Timeless Treasures Boutique on Edinger Ave. CaliTea came up as a suggestion and was close to where we were. Daughter started the order with her Lava Flow Smoothie with organic almond milk. She ordered a Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Honey Boba for her sister. I wanted a Matcha Milk Tea 75% sweet less ice as it was cloudy that day and I would usually need a hot drink. Daughter ordered a second drink of Tropic Osmanthus. We ended with niece who wanted a Peach Cantaloupe with crystal boba. Cashier was patient explaining the difference between Brown Sugar Fresh Milk and Brown Sugar Milk Tea and taking such a big order. She even keyed in the check-in discount of 15%. Daughter enjoyed the Lava Flow Smoothie because it was pineapple coconut with strawberry syrup and tasted like a pina colada. I liked my matcha milk tea because it was smooth and creamy. Niece could taste that the fruit tea was freshly brewed. We never knew of this place. Now that we are aware of CaliTea's existence we will come again when we're in this part of the city. read more
