Taro Crush
Xenia O.

Got the taro crush, definitely too sweet but I will adjust next time. Boba was a little too firm as well but overall would go again!

Strawberry cloud
Ashley S.

Came here right when they opened on a Saturday and they were very kind and welcoming. Helped me with the menu. Their Thai tea, Vietnamese coffee, and strawberry cloud drink was so delicious. I definitely will be back. Parking is plentiful and there is a good amount of seating to hang out!

Jasmine Green Milk Tea
Gilberto C.

Found this place with my friends because we wanted something sweet after eating. We walked in the location is pretty small but it's cute. Definitely more of an order and head out location. There are a couple places to sit while you wait. It's order yourself as well, just walk up to the screen and place your order. The drink was alright the sweetness was actually pretty good for not switching the level that I got. However, the actual pearls were not that good. They were very chewy and hard. They might not have been fully cooked. Other than that it was an okay drink.

Wintermelon Butterfly with lychee jelly
Katherine P.

It's a perfect blend of refreshing wintermelon and a vibrant butterfly pea flower infusion. Love the way it looks- so pretty! It pairs well with lychee jelly giving it the right balance of sweetness. The cafe itself is clean and cozy. Staff were friendly. I would come back to try other drinks if I'm in the area.

Menu as of May 2025

I have been coming here since high school and they have never done me wrong. It's a very small boba shop with not a lot of seating, but it is a must try if you're around the area and craving for a sweet treat! Now I usually don't like rose stuff, but when I tell you their rose milk tea is divine! This is the only boba shop I will ever get a rose milk tea (bonus points if you add sea salt cream as a topping for the sweet and salty flavor). The staff are always very nice and helpful here. My only complaint is sometimes the drinks are filled up to the top, but you could just let the staff know

Maribel G.

recently came here to try their teas and brought my cousins with me--we all loved it! The owner was so kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I ordered the tea and a mangonada, and both were delicious and super refreshing. The shop itself has such a fun and creative vibe, especially the photo wall--it's perfect for taking pictures and adds a unique touch to the space. The atmosphere is bright, clean, and inviting, making it a great spot to hang out and enjoy a drink. I'll definitely be returning

What's up: Looking for a sweet treat after finishing up a volunteer event nearby. After a quick search, we decided to visit this place. And there's also a Daiso nearby! Parking: Parking was busy when we arrived. It is shared among the nearby businesses. Environment: Walking in, the menu is located overhead behind the order counter. We placed our order and had a short wait before the drinks were ready. They also have a stamp card program! There's indoor seating and the restroom is located down the hall, in the back. What was ordered: - Matcha Latte Tea (got it in hot. More on the sweet and milky side with a hint of tea flavor) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The drink was decent and it's a nice place to sit and enjoy. Credit cards and Apple Pay are accepted.

Came here on a Wednesday afternoon and there was no line! This boba shop is small but very cute and quiet. I can see it being nice place to study or catch up with a friend. The cashier was very sweet and recommended I get the rising phoenix milk tea on my first visit. It reminded me of a roasted oolong milk tea but the flavor was pretty unique. The boba had a good texture too. Would be interested in coming back and trying out some of their other drinks!

This place was closeby to my house so thought I give it a try but danggggg, I must've gotten a new worker because my milk tea wasn't even full. I got the Rising Phoenix and had high expectations since the only rising Phoenix I had was at Orobae, however this one had more sugar than actual tea and lacked the tea fragrance I was expecting. Overall it's OK but to serve customers with a 90% full cup doesn't exactly look that great. At least get an all white non clear cup so it doesn't look so obvious(?). I got one with no ice and the other with less ice so you would think maybe the one with less ice look more? I don't know - what do u think?

I have to say first if all.. the name of this business was genuius its cute , hip, funny and so convenient lol. 5 stars for that! Unfortunately , i wasn't impressed with the drinks. I ordered the Strawberry lychee Agua fresca ajd it taste like syrup, drink was way too sweet and tangy at the same time, no real fruit inside just tasted artificial. Too much sugar. I was going for fruit water .. something refreshing with real fruits inside with natural sweet nothing else added.. I didn't like that one at all. Just my opinion. My husband ordered Aloha sunshine green tea - he said it was good, nothing that stood out. Over all. Just not.my cup of tea.

Thai Tea with Boba, Perfection.
Jessica L.

I came back again to get my favorite Thai Tea but also wanted to try the Rising Phoenix that everyone was raving about and Boy, that was sooooo Good! I'm not sure what kind of milk tea it is but definitely had a strong tea aroma, authenticity, and perfect amount of sweet to it that's making me want it now as I'm writing this review. The Thai Tea was also soooo good, I now have 2 favorite drinks from here and may need to just buy 2 each time I come. I also got to try their new "The corndog" , it had mozzarella cheese inside with some super yummy sauce on the top. It was the perfect snack combo (corndog + milk tea) that I didn't know I needed until now. If I lived closer, I would be here everyday cuz I have high expectations and I found a spot that's sooooo good. I'll be back this weekend for more. Give this place a try, support your local business cuz it's seriously better than the big chains and drinks will have you coming back for more.

Purple Signature Special Matcha Taro

Very nice location, very clean, came on a Sunday afternoon and the store was empty. Overall my partner and I had very high expectations. We ordered the Purple Signature & Taro Matcha... Purple Signature: it was great! The flavor was nice, it had chunks of ube (I think) in the drink, but you can't call it a signature if there's a surcharge & half the drink is ice! :( Taro Matcha: matcha was ok, nothing too special. Unfortunately there was barely any taro topping compared to other places. I would hope to give this place another chance, so many other drinks on the menu and the prices are fair (until you realize you're being charged for ice cubes)

Strawberry Banana Purple Signature Special
Anh N.

Went in on Memorials Day and there was no line. The cashier was friendly and quick with the drinks we got. For the purple signature drink, the texture of the taro at the bottom was just not for me. Otherwise drinks and boba were good.

Not bad but not what I was in the mood for.

Their signature coffee is just ridiculous...in the best possible way. Creamy, perfectly balanced, topped with cinnamon, and thick enough to feel indulgent without being over the top. It's basically drinkable art. I've seen the internet rumor that it has zero calories. I'm choosing to believe that rumor... and I don't want anyone to ruin it for me. The staff at the drive-thru has always been friendly, the drinks come out quickly, and they're consistently excellent. That's harder to find than people think. Part of me wishes they'd open a location in Huntington Beach. The smarter part of me knows that's probably a terrible idea because I'd be there way too often. If you love coffee and haven't tried Da Vien yet, you're missing out. Just don't blame me if it becomes your new addiction too.

My husband had the sweet corn vienna which was also a great option, and I liked that the sweet corn flavor came through nicely. Edit: I have had enough matcha in my life and I know that a matcha latte should not be showing any speckles of matcha floating in the milk. Even if it's a "tier 1" quality, it doesn't mean anything if it's not prepared properly.

The Dracula Latte is a Halloween twist on their Goth Latte (it's a charcoal latte with strawberry), and it's such a good combo!

The earthiness of the matcha paired so well with the charcoal, and it was slightly sweet without being overpowering. The service is always phenomenal here, every employee is attentive and friendly.

This cafe knows their core drinks are winners and doesn't rely on full-menu revamps every season to keep customers coming back. As you can see, I am a repeat customer of their Matcha on matcha, but each of the other drinks have been delicious as well. The Orange tonic is on the sweeter side, but you can still taste the bitterness from the coffee and super fizzy tonic water. They put the freshest puree in the strawberry matcha with a natural-tasting sweetness. The goth latte is a must try that you can't find anywhere else. Arc both sells and uses Rocky's matcha in their drinks; a matcha which tastes nutty and roasty. Despite the batch mixing, the matcha is never clumpy or lacking in flavor. The inside is super minimal, yet approachable. While customers constantly rotate through the small space, there is never a long wait and I usually find a seat. The parking lot is small and can get tight during busy hours. Overall, Arc is a great spot for a consistently delicious dose of caffeine.
