    Caramel twist
    Samantha M.

    Service is good, I got the caramel twist and mozzarella sticks. The drink was alright nothing special but the mozzarella sticks were so goood wether they're frozen or not they lovely. The downside is that they don't have marinara sauceee . Um also their WiFi is unaccessible, I came with friends to study but left quickly not being able to connect. The employees were unable to help us with that to, but they tried.

    Croffle menu as of 2/26/25

    This is the kind of boba shop that takes you right back in time--the kind of place where local high schoolers hang out after class, with free WiFi and a comforting snack. It's been here for years, and you can feel that nostalgic charm the moment you walk in. I ordered the popcorn chicken, and wow--it tasted just like I remember from when I used to frequent these kinds of boba shops after high school. Perfectly crispy, well-seasoned, and addictive. The mango tofu was a surprise hit, with its lightly fried texture and zesty mango seasoning. And the Crackin' choco thai tea is just such a fun drink. Breaking through the chocolate lining the cup is just so satisfying haha. The Oreo cookie croffle did not disappoint either. If you're looking for a place with good vibes, classic boba shop flavors, and a touch of nostalgia, this spot is it. Definitely coming back! Thanks for reading! ^-^

    Waited 30 minutes for a spam musubi this is what I got and so much attitude

    Bobaaaaaaaa

    Honeydew boba for the win!!! I got the honeydew boba drink. It was yummy. So refreshing and sweet, but not overly sweet. It was really good. I'd get this drink over and over. 10/10 My fiancé got a Thai tea and a milk tea. He enjoyed them both. 10/10 Overall great teas. The honey boba is really good. And love the honeydew drink!

    Quite Saturday afternoon 2PM~ish

    Fresh boba balls are imperative and Dragonfly Tea Bar is always fresh. They also have a huge variety of other delicious drink options and some good quick bites too. Popcorn chicken (spicy ) is a favorite of mine. It's all an indulgent treat, so fun, and yummy. Service was friendly and quick (and cute ;). The interior is efficient and clean with hard wood tables and seating. There is a cute small upper area where one takes shoes off and sits Japanese style. There's also a tiny bit of seating outside where they tried to make it inviting with a little plants and things. It's a little strip mall where In-N-Out and Taco Loco and 85° Bakery are located. While there's plenty of parking, it's a busy place and parking spaces are also very tight. They've been there for many years and have always been consistent. Close to Chapman in the 55 freeway. Drinks 5/5 Service 5/5 Atmosphere ~ Interior 3/5

    It was really refreshing seeing a group of teens just hanging out after a football game. I went with my wife this past Saturday. As she and I sat in this hole in the wall come to life. The ambiance was pretty mellow and had a nice fit better than $tarbucks. The food was good. The drinks were on point for sure!!!. The service was great. I truly recommend this place young, middle and old.

    Sunset tea (small) with chia seeds
    Meggie T.

    Service was quick and the place is clean. It's a chill relaxing setting. During the day I can imagine there's lots of natural lighting, and at night they use yellow light so it's not as harsh a lighting compared to white lights. Saw lots of people getting work done or just hanging out. Sunset tea (passion fruit + peach) regular size has chia seeds in it. Had it with green tea and it was refreshing and light. The other alternative would be black tea. Lots of parking in the parking lot and restroom is clean.

    The strawberry rainbow croffle. Terrible!  Do NOT Order. Taste like a half frozen eggo with whipped cream and strawberry fruit sauce.

    The food: let's be clear, there is only one item to order here that looks and taste better than it looks and better than other establishments offerings. This is their Popcorn Chicken! You can order their popcorn chicken in different levels of spicyness (scoville level) but depending on who is in the kitchen, it will be different every time you order it. They have no clear direction when cooking. This applies also their drinks sweetness. But with that being said it's good. Now the Bad. Don't ever order their Croffles. They are terrible and worse yet they do not look or taste anything like their menu picture offering. (See photos for comparisons. The service is fine for the generation and age group they are and generally serve. The ambiance is varied. Some days it's loud music some days it's no music but one think you can consistently count on is to bring a sweater they like to keep it cold. If you have a fav drink or item you like to order I would suggest staying consistent. Because not everything is good. But it's good enough. Better than their competitor across the street which now closed down.

    Rainbow Tea with Lychee Jelly
    Michael T.

    Went here on a Saturday afternoon and at the time, it wasn't busy so my drink came out very quickly! I ordered the Rainbow Tea with Lychee Jelly! The Rainbow tea in my opinion has just the right amount of sweetness to it. Also the mixture of the strawberry, peach, and mango is a very refreshing combination! Also the inside of this place has a nice aesthetic appeal to it!

    Honeydew & Dragonfly Taro Milk Tea
    Pranali Y.

    The food is good. Drinks are okay! Service is good. Ambiance needs little work though.

    Worth the price of the drink just for this beauty
    Cori A.

    What brought me in was the jammin music playing just outside. Stepping in, they've got a great vibe and warm decor. They're decorated for Halloween right now, which I love. I got the coconut almond drink with boba and it was delicious. Consider, I had just been in 85 degrees browsing and left because I felt my indecision was annoying the cashier. I didn't feel that way whatsoever at Dragonfly. They smiled and said hi when I approached (85 degrees certainly didn't), they have great ambiance (85 always looks the same, uninteresting), snd the drink was delicious. I will absolutely bypass 85 every time to make a beeline for this place.

    Okinawa and Coco Almond milk tea
    Christina C.

    I was out late Sunday night with my friend after eating our late night dinner, we could not find an appealing boba spot around Irvine that we wanted to go to that opened past midnight then we saw this spot suggested to us miles away. The workers there were patient and well mannered. The place looks great for students doing work or just hanging out. They even have a printer you can use but you gotta bring your own paper. They have an area you can take off your shoes and sit cross legged if you want. We got the Okinawa and Coco Almond milk tea and we were both pleasantly delighted with our milk teas! Both our drinks were creamy and refreshing. We would for sure come back again if we are around OC!

    The boba drink was tasty, but I did not appreciate the rap music playing. It is very bad for digestion.

    The boba was sup-par, but I was impressed with the popcorn chicken. Probably won't be coming back any time soon though.

    Ask the Community - Dragonfly Tea Bar

    What time are you open 'til? Asking to confirm the 1am shown on Yelp is accurate bc I've a hard time believing any boba shop in OC is open past 9pm (all others that say they are on Yelp are liars who don't update their hours).

    Yes, they are open until 1am!

    Has the ownership changed in the past year or so? The drinks aren't as customizable as I remembered.

    Do they have a printer?

    Yes, they have a printer.

    Good place for homework?

    Yes! They even have a printer.

    What's the WiFi password?

    I don't know, because i wasn't dining in! But I'm pretty sure you can ask a staff member....

    Do they have outlets?

    Yup

    I normally just order milk tea but I kinda want to switch it up, does anyone have any good bubble tea recommendations ? Thank you!

    the peach milk tea with the regular boba is my favorite :+)

    Wow, I found my favorite boba tea spot in SoCal and this is it! I'm so excited and happy because…read moreOMOMO is everything I want in a boba store. Can you come up to NorCal please? High grade ingredients, attention to detail, flavor balance, perfect boba, and fresh fruits. They also carry my favorite tea period, gyokuro, and have pretty low prices for an artisanal effort. Please, I want to make another trip to the OC for OMOMO. I even like it way more than my favorites in NorCal - so for me, this is the best boba tea in all of California. Place was poppin' even an hour within closing time on a weekday. I love the cozy, natural, and dull green aesthetics too. They seem to rotate new seasonal flavors so are worth visiting every now and then if you like trying new things. They also have coffee on the menu. - Uji Green Milk Tea with brown sugar boba The brown sugar boba made my eyes light up because it was gooey and flavorful, and reminded me of a favorite boba places that closed down in NA years ago. It went great with the blend of matcha and jasmine, and the tea was strong. Subtly creamy, light jasmine tea, and a bit of matcha earthiness. It made for a fantastic dessert, and was perfect at 50% sweet. - Ruby and Gold with agar boba This is a seasonal blend of pineapple, grapefruit, and magnolia tea. The fruit juices and pulp are super fresh, and it was an amazing morning drink, especially with the bouncy agar boba, which were uneven in shape yet still very easy to get through the straw. At 30% sweet, it was astringent, bitter, and tart enough to delight my tastebuds - I could have this every morning, as it tasted like a mature OJ substitute. If you need a bag, they'll give you a very premium insulated one to-go! Literally everything was perfect, and I can't wait to overindulge in OMOMO next time I visit the area.

    First time at OMOMO. Finally got to try this place after seeing so many posts & reels on Instagram…read more There was a small line inside. Waited about 10 mins for my drink. I ordered the Omomo Matcha & I got it 50% sweet. It's a delicious matcha blended drink with that swirly goodness. The matcha flavor was balanced very well with the sweet creme. The sweetness was just right for me. This drink is definitely a must-try. Ambiance of this location was small & the restrooms are closed to the public.
