Ate lunch near by with my family & we wanted to grab a drink and this was the closes spot. Walked in, no one was there to greet us, I thought we were in the store by ourselves. You order on the kiosk and someone in the back makes your drinks and then places them on the counter. It was hot inside but the music was good. Our drinks were okay, nothing too special. read more

1 star. The photos are completely misleading. The drinks shown are packed with fresh fruit and look amazing--but what you actually get is the total opposite. No fruit bits, no fresh ingredients, just a watered-down drink that looks nothing like what's advertised. It honestly feels deceptive. If you're going to market your drinks with fresh fruit, at least deliver something close to it. Super disappointing experience and definitely not worth the price. Won't be coming back. read more

Katsubo Tea - My grapefruit and white peach tea - No fresh fruit or fruit bits whatsover. The photos they put when you order is so deceiving! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

1 star. I came here with my friend and she found a BUG floating in her drink and when she showed the worker, she had a disgusted look on her face and snatched the drink out of her hand and said nothing. She made her a new drink and barely apologized. Also extremely misleading to use AI generated photos of the drinks on their menu that look nothing like the real thing. Would not recommend. read more

#120 in my Teaholic Diaries. I was checking out the toffee confectionery across the street and wanted to get something to drink before heading home. Yelp helped direct me to Katsubo, and 60 seconds later I was there. Haha. I wasn't actually in the mood for milk tea so I ended up ordering their strawberry yakult. I love that they offer the option of adding extra yakult for more of that distinct tangy flavor I love, so of course that's what I did. The creamy vanilla and tart lime flavors in yakult paired well with the strawberry, and overall it was a pretty refreshing treat in the afternoon heat. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

Stopped by this boba shop during a pretty busy time, but the experience was smooth from start to finish. Ordering through the computer kiosk was super convenient and easy to use. Even with the crowd, my drink came out surprisingly fast. I ordered the white peach oolong tea, and it was perfectly sweet and really refreshing. Definitely enjoyable and something I'd order again! read more

Loved the decor inside. Also love that they have self serve kiosks so you wouldn't have to wait on other people for long. Their ube and matcha drinks were good. You can actually taste the ube and matcha. The bobas were cooked perfectly and not too sweet. The only thing I wish they have are hot drinks. Was told that they only have cold drinks so that's a bummer for cold rainy days. read more

Located at the town center near Albertsons, there were plenty of parking spaces. You could order with a staff or at the self-service kiosk. There is limited indoor seating so it feels like it's geared more towards takeout. While there wasn't anything particularly memorable, the tea was good and everything went smoothly overall. read more

I recently went to this place and bought their special, the Katsubo Sugar. It was very tasty and creamy, and i liked how i could choose the sweetness of the syrup and boba. The ordering system was through a kiosk which was cool, but they didn't ask for my name. I was waiting until i realized my drink was ready. I think it was because they never asked for a order name. The interior is cute and small and there are some tables for you to sit and enjoy you drinks. read more

Wow, their Hakkaido Black Milk tea with boba was really good. I've had a lot of milk tea but this one had a slightly different flavor that made it even better than regular milk teas. And 50% sweetness was perfect. I wish I lived closer to Katsubo so I could go there more often, it was really good and I highly recommend it. read more

This place is so underrated in my opinion. They have such a good selection of drinks and this place is perfect for someone like me who just goes in at a kiosk and then walks out with my drink. Service is always really nice. Wish they had more seating for times where drinks take a little longer than expected, and a bathroom but overall for my preference I really like this place read more

Katsubo Tea - Four Seasons Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

Love love love Katsubo! I get a brown sugar milk tea with their special milk and large boba almost every time I go to Albertsons. It's becoming a bad habit! But it's sooo good. The convenient ordering screens and very short wait time (I'm talking less than a minute for them to make your drink!) make it a breeze to walk in and grab a lil treat. They're always so friendly and accommodating if you have questions or want recommendations too. The boba serving (I get the free portion) is pretty standard and the sweetness level is on point at 100% every time. read more

Every tea I've had here is always bomb! I recently tried the white peach traditional tea and the sweetness was perfect, it was smooth and very peachy! I love when the peach flavor comes all the way through! I've also tried the orange blossom *I think that's what it's called* and of course their Thai iced tea is top tier! No complaints about the service - you can either utilize their self service kiosk or order through the cashier. The service is speedy as well. Not a whole lot of space to sit and enjoy but it is a cute little grand and go spot. read more

My friend and I were craving for some boba and stopped by here! Service was quick and did not have a long wait. There are some seats inside if you want to chill and hang out with others!

Katsubo Tea - Ronin Matcha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

Ordered through Uber- terrible taste. No tea flavor whatsoever. Will not be ordering from here again. Disgusting ..

Drinks came out quickly and you order off a touch screen menu with option to pay by cash or card. No human interaction with works out fine. It's more of an order and go place, not really a sit in place. The drinks are not too sweet at 100 Percent full so I would order all drinks at 100 which is the perfect amount of sweetness. I went 75 and it was not sweet enough. Their cookie one is amazing if you like the Oreo ones at other places. Def see why that one is a customer favorite. Would come back for that one alone. read more

I wanted to check out what places were nearby for food, drinks and shopping, and the name "Katsubo Tea" sounded interesting. I came here with a friend for our first time, it was a small but still a pretty nice little shop. There are a lot of drink options: milk, fruit, matcha. We've tried a few from each category and most of the drinks we've had are very good. I really love how they make there boba, it's soft, chewy and fresh. Also want to mention the employee there was always very kind. He always serves us our drinks with a smile and we always feel welcomed. A friend of mine came by because the nearby Tous Le Jours had a weird last call policy. But he asked him about drinks as the shop was about to close and he still served us. We cannot express how he made our day end off on a better note. Even though the shop isn't as populated, the service & kindness is definitely up there. We're very glad to have come across this shop and will continue to visit here and there read more

My boyfriend and I were in the area and decided to try this place out! The boba was decent, some boba balls were hard but maybe because we went within the last hour of closing. The drinks were made quick and parking was easy. The matcha was rich and went well with the strawberry bits. The avocado zen was made with real avocado! I would recommend getting it 100% sweet. The worker was kind and the area was decorated very nicely. I would come back if I was in the area. read more

Stopped by here since I was in the plaza running errands and was craving milk tea. Ordered: - Katsubo Sugar: made no adjustments, decent, and found the mixed boba to be a new twist! - Egg Pudding Sugar (ordered with 50% sugar): good; still pretty sweet but when I was getting towards the end of the drink - then all I tasted was unflavored milk. ** I'm also knocking points since the boba was pretty firm and hard to chew ** This place does have a lot of potential. The male staff member was friendly and brought out our drinks pretty fast. My friend and I decided to sit down to enjoy our drinks. There is minimal seating, minimal décor, but music is played throughout. There was a pretty good stream of customers coming through the door, so I'm guessing there must be some heavy hitters on their menu. I think I'm going to stick with their bestsellers the next time. read more

This place was a very nice boba place, and I would DEFINITELY come back here again! The atmosphere and the overall experience is a 1,000/10!!! BOBA REVIEW: I ordered a Katsubo Brown Sugar Tea, with Boba and Mango Star Boba, and it was delicious! I don't know why other people complain about how mushy it is. The boba was very nicely chewy and bouncy, and the tea was flavorful! STORE/EMPLOYEES: The place is very clean, and the decorations was very cute, and the woman employee is very nice, and the employees are kind and cheerful, and they make the boba well. Not only the boba comes out fast, it is tasty and great!!! I would definitely recommend people to come here again! This is my go to place for boba in Orange County from now on! read more

Katsubo Tea - Boba :) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

Peachy zen is soo good just get like half the sugar or more! They are always kind and it really is nice on a hot day!

We ordered a jasmine green tea with boba at 100% sweetness and a strawberry green tea with boba, also at 100% sweetness. The jasmine green tea was NOT SWEET AT ALL!! We asked the barista to make it more sweet, which he said sure, no problem, but when we tasted it, it STILL was not sweetened. The boba charge is $1.00 for both a combo of large and small boba. Never have we ever seen both sizes offered as one topping before. Despite this, $1.00 for boba is pricey. Most places charge 50-75 cents. And ok, charge us $1.00 but you better back this up. They did not. The boba was not only pure soggy MUSH, but it was also not sweetened. Great boba shops typically soak their boba in either brown sugar or honey. There was no essence of this in our boba at all! Ambiance: lacking. A couple of benches and two tables. Not much in terms of décor. This place is more of an order and go kind of joint. Service? We had to order boba off their POS ourselves while the barista just sat there. Sure they make our drinks, but to ask for gratuity when your job description is to make beverages, is unnecessary. It's not like they go out of their way to service you nor do they even ask you how you are. No conversation. No real service. Boba was soggy, and the jasmine green tea was a joke. There are far better boba places around. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at this place! It's a rather small location, but it's very nicely decorated on the inside. I got the Assam Milk Tea with Boba of mixed sizes (really cool that they have that option, since I'd never tried small boba in this form before). The tea itself was great! I got 50% sweetness, which was just right for my preference and let the underlying tea flavor stand out. Unfortunately, the little boba weren't ultimately my preference, but I don't fault the store for giving me what I asked for haha. Would absolutely come back! read more

Wonderful experience here! Had a strong craving for a jasmine milk tea and was able to place an online order via yelp. The drink was very flavorful and a great size too! Perfect tea to ice ratio as well! They did not just give me a cup of ice. The service was good. Was greeted and handed my online pick order within SECONDS! Tea shop looked clean and all tidy. Price was a bit steep at 7.50 with no extra additions (no boba or milk substitute added to my order) Overall a nice tea shop and I would be back if I had a strong craving again. read more

I first found out about this place from their Orange Dragon design on their cups and knew I wanted to check it out. I went to this location and met the owner who was very nice. This place has a large variety of teas (fruit, milk,, and some sweeter dessert teas). I ordered from a kiosk and my drink came out almost right away. I got the Ceylon tea which was otherwise good, not too sweet which I appreciated. If I find myself in the area, I'd go back here again, especially for those cool orange dragon cups lol. read more

Katsubo Tea - Strawberry Zen and Egg Pudding Sugar - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fullerton, California

PARKING: Plenty of parking due to it being a grocery shopping plaza. AMBIANCE: My friend and I liked the music choice of the barista up front. He was kind enough to show the artist that was playing. Artist's name was Milena. WAIT TIME: Less than 5 minute wait for drinks in the evenings. SEATING: There are two tables and plenty of benches. The only reason this is 4/5 is because of the inconvenience of there not being an option write down notes at the end of your order. I have severe dairy allergies so I have to flag down a barista to let them know. Luckily, they were kind enough to communicate with me and directed me towards a drink that can be made dairy-free. If the kiosk UI gets updated, this is easily a 5-star experience. read more

Tried this place for the first time and we really liked both drinks we got! The Aichi Green Tea Crumble had a nice matcha flavor with added crunch from the cookie crumbles. I added honey boba to mine and they were a bit on the hard/chewy side. My husband got the Strawberry Zen and it was creamy and mostly sweet with a little tart aftertaste. Overall, would definitely come back! The atmosphere of the shop was a unique vibe with bamboo hanging from the ceiling. read more
