    This place is located right outside of Bloomingdales in a small food court with Asian eateries. Since there were so many people ordering boba drinks we decided to try. We ordered the coco mango and cha cha lychee rice. The coco mango had agor boba, mango puree, avocado, and coconut milk. I got 50% sweet which was the perfect sweetness level for me. It was ok, not bad. It's a large drink that's heavy and creamy. The cha cha lychee rice drink was a smaller drink and unfortunately I found it bland. I thought it would be more flavorful. I'd give this place another try next time and will try something else in the future.

    Coco Strawberry and Sri Lanka Ceylon Cha Latte
    Zachary H.

    Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon while shopping at the mall. There was a short line, but it moved quickly, so the wait wasn't bad at all. The shop is more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. There are only a few seats available, so I wouldn't plan on staying for long if it's busy. I ordered the Coco Strawberry. The drink had a nice strawberry flavor, and the boba was cooked well with a good chewy texture. It also came with strawberry pieces, which were a nice addition, but they didn't necessarily make the drink much better for me. Overall, it was a solid boba tea, but not one that really stood out compared to other places. I'd order it again if I happened to be in the mall, but I probably wouldn't make a special trip just for it. If you're already shopping and want something refreshing, it's a perfectly good option.

    Dirty Avocado

    This place has quickly become a favorite when I'm at South Coast. Located near Bloomingdale's. I crave their Dirty Avocado (avocado smoothie & espresso) on a regular basis! It's sooo delicious, creamy and filling! I ask for their lowest possible sugar level and it's perfection! The last time I came by I wanted to try their matcha but was told they had been out for several days due to shipping issues. Hope to get to try the matcha here soon! Wait times can be a bit longer here but I promise that it's worth the wait. They also a seating area and offer various pastries too.

    This place always delivers the best drinks and it's always my dessert or pick me up when I'm at SCP. They have a huge selection of drinks and non caffeinated drinks for my little ones as well. If you want to be rewarded and accumulate points just type in your phone number at checkout. This place is located downstairs if you are at Anqi or paradise dynasty. There are no designated tables and chairs for Cha Redefine but there's seating close by.

    Cha Cha Lychee Rice
    Ky-Anh H.

    On the lower end of the Collage in South Coast Plaza is Cha Redefine, a small boba spot located nearby a ton of other food areas. It's typically not too busy as I feel like not many people go to the Collage or South Coast Plaza when looking for boba. Drinks don't take too long to be made so waiting isn't a big issue usually. I typically try different drinks whenever I come, from their matcha lattes to newer drinks like their lychee rice. The drinks are pretty standard, which is nice since South Coast Plaza is a big mall so having the option to come here for a drink is great. They're good and all flavor wise, but I'm not exactly going out of my way to get Cha Redefine unless I'm in the mall. The sizes are also a bit small which I'm not too fond of. Considering the addition of Chagee and Heytea as well, there's going to be more options available and nothing quite sticks out for me here.

    Mango Passion Chill & Coco Strawberry
    Wendy H.

    We don't usually go out of our way to come here just for this, but we will stop by if we're already shopping at South Coast Plaza. There's never really a long line. Service is quick and drinks are made promptly. I usually always get the blueberry oat milk matcha and my husband always gets the mango mango. Both are good, but yesterday we decided we wanted to try something new. He ended up trying the mango passion chill and I got the coco strawberry. I might've just found my new favorite drink. The strawberry mixed with avocado tasted much better than it sounds. Sweet & creamy texture. I can see myself getting this drink more here on out. My husband enjoyed the mango passion but said he still likes the mango mango more because it's a little sweeter than mango passion fruit.

    This location is inside SCP across from Le Shrimp, in front of the lowest level of Blooms. Drinks here are good and their soft warm bobas are yummy. Their tea based drinks are strong, and I love it! Really good high quality drink. Would def recommend. My only qualm is the drink is somehow less than normal... I usually finish my drink from their shop so fast..

    Wife likes both.  I prefer the mango passion chill

    matcha einspanner, Cha Cha Lychee Rice, Lemon Cha
    Terri S.

    Their matcha einspanner was so delicious! It was sweet, creamy, and I really loved the crispy rice they sprinkled on top. Although, I wished the size was a little bigger, my matcha felt really small; and I don't remember having the option to choose a size. The workers were fast and got our drinks out in no time. This shop is located at the back of the bloomingdale's, surrounded by other neighboring restaurants and food stalls. It was really easy to spot this place!

    I was upstairs having a late lunch and came down the escalator to see what was in this food hall area and stumbled across this. I tried the new lychee rice milk tea which was interesting! I liked it but didn't love the jelly at the bottom. I would probably do no toppings in this drink. It wasn't creamy like a milk drink, but more like a tea blend. I was curious to try the matcha and coffee drinks.

    Coco Mango
    Jennifer H.

    I love love love their coco mango/coco strawberry so much that I always make a stop here when I visit south coast plaza. I usually ask which one is better depending on which fruit is in season. I love the avocado smoothie with the fruit puree at the bottom. Both great combos and very yums! Right now they have 20% off on Tuesdays if you're part of their free membership. They also come out with new seasonal drinks too. They can understandably get very busy on weekends but I still stop by regardless lol I recommend a try if you want some boba while you're shopping around!

    We had such a nice time grabbing drinks at Cha. The staff are always super friendly and we've been loving the chance to try their soft serve flavors (when the machine isn't broken). We went at a slower time so getting our drinks took less than 5 minutes which is always appreciated. The matcha shortage unfortunately hits the drinks really hard since their larger sizes have been scaled down but still love the flavor.

    A nice classy place for some boba drinks coffee and tea, but I would say a bit on the pricey side, which is understandable due to the area that it's in. During the Bogo weekend, I tried the cha-cha Hojicha and I enjoyed the chewiness of the oats and mochi wasn't as chewy but some more of a sleek, milky texture. It's conveniently located with other food shops, such as dim sum at Paradise dynasty . It is a bit hidden due to the fact that it's within Bloomingdale's. But drinks are made relatively quickly. No, I recently learned they do charge a dollar extra for water, but they do allow free refills if you have your own bottle or Hydro flask

    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.

We stumbled into Elixir Tea Bar & Ice Cream and ended up staying way longer than planned (in the best way). The entire space feels like stepping into a magical world, think Harry Potter meets Game of Thrones, with incredible attention to detail. Every corner has something to discover, and yes... there are chess boards on every table, which instantly sets the tone. What really made the visit unforgettable was the owner, Cire. He personally served us, sat and talked chess, and made us feel like we weren't just customers, we were guests in his world. That kind of hospitality is rare. Since my friends were visiting from out of town, he even gave us a behind the scenes tour, including a peek into a hidden, members only room tucked behind a secret bookcase door (yes, it's as cool as it sounds). It honestly felt like we unlocked a level in a game. The drinks and treats were great, but the vibe? Next level. It's whimsical, cozy, immersive, and just... special. This isn't just a place you go, it's a place you experience. Already planning my next visit.

There is a smaller parking area in front that is closer to the entrance. :) I really loved the entire atmosphere of this place. The awesomeness starts on the staircase going up, it was so cool to set the tone. Once inside, I could have spent hours looking at all the amazing details! I just love all the thought that went into everything - even the bathroom! I got a Draven drink and it was DELICIOUS. I'd wanted to try the Merakai also but it was sold out unfortunately. I also ordered the nachos, which were served in a really cool cup but were basically gas station nachos. ;) No hate, I love some gas station nachos and again, the presentation was awesome. I definitely look forward to ordering some of their other food options next time. I was a little disappointed that one of the items I wanted to try was only available on the members-only menu. I totally get why they have members-only perks but it's a little unusual that it extends to entire menu items instead of say, free upgrades for members but us "regular" folk can still order any item. I would have tried more things otherwise!

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet.

Service- The vibes here are very local! Immediately, one of the workers offered to help me with the menu and greeted me.
