    Maria , Perla and Angie were the best at accommodating us and recommending us delicious things on the menu. we ordered chocolate covered strawberries which were so good and fresh and we also got a dubai strawberry cup and I will for sure be coming back for more ! Thank you irvine spectrum for opening this place up again i've been waiting!!!

    Chocolate covered strawberries.
    Jenn R.

    Dropped in for a quick sweet fix and they delivered! THE FOOD. - Chocolate Covered Strawberry. Opted for both white chocolate and milk chocolate. The strawberry itself was impressively large and naturally sweet, the kind that tastes like it was picked at peak ripeness. The chocolate shells add a satisfying snap before giving way to the strawberry. Simple, classic, and done well. THE PARKING. Free parking available, both surface lot and structures. The earlier you get there, the better chance you have of snagging a spot close by. THE VERDICT. Delicious treats for the sweet tooth. Just saw they are now permanently closed and now I'm sad.

    Smack in the heart of the Irvine Spectrum is Chocolate Bash. The outside is deceiving in size because on the outside it's big but the inside is small. Of course I ordered the Dubai chocolate strawberries! Loved them but way too expensive. I wouldn't go back because $17 for a little cup of strawberries & drizzle chocolate/ pistachio sauce, totally out of my budget!

    A good place to get a quick snack very good food and treats very tasty and I would recommend it to anyone

    Dubai chocolate is on hand
    Alfie E.

    For some reason I thought it was much bigger on the inside. It is mainly a counter, with enough room to house a line but very little seating. There are seats and tables outside but finding a communal area in the Irvine Spectrum is probably better. We got the cup of strawberries with chocolate , pistachio paste and knafeh topping and it was so delicious and refreshing. Is it worth $15? Possibly. I would have to be craving for it and if it is peak strawberry season, I would treat myself to one. We also got a bar to take home which, from the bars I have had in the past, their Dubai chocolate is ok. Although staff was friendly, the service was slow. We waited 25 mins after ordering which is not bad if you have good company but when you are hungry and a toddler, that 25 mins seems forever. I'd consider going back but in the list of priorities, it would be somewhere in the middle.

    Dust accumulation in overhang over food prep area
    Robert F.

    My daughter loves this spot and is totally obsessed with their Dubai chocolate strawberries... those alone get a solid five stars. They're rich, indulgent, and definitely a must-try if you're into dessert that goes all out. Now here's where it drops a bit for me: cleanliness. I've got a thing about places that serve food staying clean, and unfortunately, Chocolate Bash missed the mark. The dust buildup on top of the prep area is... not it. We're talking months of dust, not just a little missed spot from last week. This review's really more of a heads-up for management--please train your team to do regular deep cleans and maybe invest in a long-reach duster or something. Because when you've got a place this sweet, the vibe and the cleanliness should match the quality of the dessert. Still, the treats are solid. Just hope the cleanliness gets a level-up soon. Still got four stars because this is something they can easily do to make it a five star spot.

    BOGO deal
    Nick P.

    Saw a BOGO deal for their Knafeh pistachio chocolate bars on Postmates. We were hanging around the Spectrum and decided to pick it up to try. It's marked at about $13 on Postmates but with the deal it comes down to about $6.50 a bar which isn't bad. Pickup was easy. The bars were neatly packed in a takeout bag. The bars are much smaller than pictured and they come packaged already. Upon tasting, we really like the texture of the bars. The knafeh is reminiscent of the texture of rice crispies inside a Crunch bar. This is essentially that but with more and pistachio filling. The pistachio was good, but we wish the flavor was stronger. Still a very good chocolate bar.

    Was excited to try this place. They force you to try to order by tablet. Then tell you that they're out of supply for hours. While they had some chocolate covered strawberries in the display case, they didn't have enough to sell us an order. You would think they wouldn't keep them in the display case if they couldn't sell them. Tables inside were dirty and sticky. But the attendant seemed nice.

    New Dubai Shake
    Mary Anne W.

    Small area the inside probably fits like 12 people. Ordered the New Dubai Shake, just to try it out. It was good, the service is fast. You can order at the front or kiosk.

    Some items on display

    We were shopping in The Spectrum and wanted a sweet treat so decided to come check this place out. The store is pretty small and when we walked in, they told us the register was cash only and the self-service kiosk was card only. There was a lot of people inside and it looked like there was only one worker. He looked overwhelmed, which makes sense, but honestly it just came off as rude and like he did not want to be working. It seemed like the cash register receipt was giving some people duplicate numbers as the self-service kiosk. When he called out a number 2 people approached, and he looked so annoyed at them that they both came and claimed that was their number. It was just a big mess, and you could tell he was so over it. The kiosk asked for our name so luckily that's what he called. As for what we ordered, we got the Dubai chocolate covered strawberries. The strawberries were actually pretty fresh but to me the chocolate wasn't the best. We have tried this at other places that were cheaper and tasted better. Overall based on the customer service and the overall taste of everything I don't see myself coming back.

    Mexican hot chocolate and crêpe with blueberries.
    Nicolas N.

    Stopped by Chocolate Bash on a rainy afternoon, hoping for something warm and sweet. I ordered the Mexican hot chocolate with whipped cream and a crepe loaded with chocolate and blueberries. Solid combo. The hot chocolate had a nice kick--spicy enough to feel it but not overpowering. Whip was generous. The crepe? Warm, gooey, sweet. No complaints on taste. But when I saw the total--$18 + tip--I had to pause. Verdict: If you've got cash to burn and a sweet tooth to satisfy, go for it. Otherwise, this bash hits your wallet harder than your taste buds.

It's a small boba tea shop with a simple, clean interior (which I actually love--it's not overly decorated or cluttered). It's a great little place to meet up with friends and just hang out. Service is quick and easy. You can order online for pickup or use their kiosk in-store. The staff is friendly and always greets you when you walk in, which makes the experience even better. Now the drinks... SO good. I got the passion fruit peach green tea, and my husband got the pineapple green tea. Both were super light, refreshing, and not overly sweet at all--which we really appreciated. Honestly, we finished them wishing we had ordered more. Safe to say I'll definitely be a regular here. Highly recommend giving this place a try--it's 100% worth it!!

    This yummy tea spot is definitely worth a try for people who appreciate tea quality and care more…read moreabout it than toppings. Highly recommended over The Alley at Spectrum. Really appreciate their fruit tea selection since that's my go-to drink. They even put the quantity of fruit they use in each drink (e.g., 1 peach, 40 blackberries) Passion Peach tea is so good! It's excellent quality and made with real fruit. I recommend starting at 50% sugar if you like drinks to be less sweet, then work your way down from there. Blackberry Rock is also delicious and would be a hit for oolong lovers. Keep in mind they put around 40 blackberries inside so you'll be crunching lots of seeds (I wish they would remove about half the seeds). 50% is a little bitter to start with, so I recommend starting a step above. Also hope they'll use bigger ice cubes - the small aerated cubes melt too fast. Was really disappointed by their topping selection, It's really bold to only have 4 options, but as I mentioned, for those who don't care for toppings or get the classic boba each time you're fine. Service is fine. They're quick and focus more on making drinks than taking orders (plenty of iPads to order on, can flag them down if you need help/have questions and they're nice about it) and there's a fair amount of seating inside. Maybe not the best for studying due to lack of space, but okay for short and small social gatherings. Lack of topping options would be the reason HN Tea won't make it into my OC favorites, but I will return when I'm around Spectrum and craving tea without toppings.

Take a look at pictures people post of the strawberry green - it looks brown with a few chunks of soggy fruit. Let me tell you it tastes the way it looks. Anywhere else the same drink is naturally red with fresh fruit. I've also tried other fruit teas multiple times across several years since they opened in case I came on bad days.

We're going to try something else besides the omelette next time...it was OK but not "out of the park" so we'll try something else next week. Service - after we ordered at the counter our food was delivered to the table which are all located outside on a well-shaded patio. We always split our dishes - my wife and I can't eat an entire plate of food. It's not "table service" - they don't come back and check you or help with water or drinks, etc. Whatever you want you must return to the counter. But service at the counter is very friendly and helpful. The ambiance is an outdoor cafe....noisy neighbors, wind when it blows, dogs, all the regular stuff - good seating and umbrellas with some areas naturally shaded...lots of tables relative to the size of the shop. Very friendly staff. Why do my reviews get over 1,000 views every time we visit a new place? We don't know but it seems consistent. We feature very critical reviews - we rate high but include serious critiques. Maybe that's it.
