Very exciting that this chain from Asian opened in Irvine. The menu is so cheap and affordable, our total for 3 items was less than $7. The vanilla soft serve reminds me of the milk candy, Milkita. You can beat that price and it was bigger than I thought it was going to be. We wanted to try the Mango Coconut drink, but they were out of coconut milk. Instead, we tried the Peach Mango Jasmine. There was not even a slight flavor tea. It tasted like watered down Mango Nectar juice. The wait was about 10-15 mins on a Monday afternoon. You can order with the cashier or through the two kiosks. read more

Went during soft opening before the long lines hit so no wait time for me! Ice cream tasted like the white rabbit candy and peach tea was watered down but not too bad. Parking wasn't too bad and service was okay. Worth it for the price. read more

Fresh fruit in their drinks, tasty soft serve in a crispy cone, and affordable prices make this a great stop for a treat. The menu offers plenty of options, and ordering is convenient through either of the two kiosks or at the counter. The queue status screen keeps everything organized, and even with a long line, it moved quickly thanks to the efficient service. Lots of parking at the Quail Hill shopping center. read more

Tried this place out after our sauna session right next door. It was pretty busy since that was probably the first day it was opened. Process was easy, ice cream cones were $1.19 each. Try beating the price anywhere else. The ice cream was yummy. It had like a slight coconut flavor to it which we liked. I'm sure I'll be going back here more often. read more

Fun spot! Crowded... staff was nice and friendly as possible with the speed they were trying to pump out orders... the Soft Serve was great as were the drinks! I would say at this point it's a 4.3... looking forward in trying more off their extensive menu or ice cream treats, boba and more! read more

Came to check this place out since it just opened. As with any grand opening, it was packed with people and lines going across the sidewalk. The store looked clean and vibrant with their colorful menus, but it was also packed with people. I was unable to get their specialty soft serve matcha ice cream, so I got their top seller: Strawberry Coconut Milk, and it was very good. The prices were VERY reasonable and will be one of the main reasons I come back. The staff worked very diligently despite the fact that there were so many people ordering. read more

Steep Thoughts: Florence's Quest for (Her) Perfect Black Milk Tea Black milk tea: 1.5/2. I got the Pearl Milk Tea, less ice, 50% sweet. Unfortunately, this drink didn't have an option to remove the boba when I placed my order at the kiosk. This drink is overall mild and pleasant, with a slightly floral and caramel-y tea flavor that isn't overpowering. Since it came with boba, I should've gotten it at 25% sweet; the brown sugar syrup added too much sweetness for me. At least during the soft opening, prices are super affordable especially for Irvine, which I have to give props for. My drink was $3.99, including the boba! Other drinks: 1/1. Lots of milk teas, fruit teas, and even some coffee drinks. The shop seems to be known for its soft serve as well. Ambiance: 0.5/1. The shop has three small tables and booth seats, as well as some open space to wait for drinks, although it can get crowded quickly. There's WiFi for the general plaza area that is available. You could get work done here if you're quick at snagging a table, but I wouldn't aim for it personally. Service: 0.5/1. Order at one of two digital kiosks. There's a rewards program. TV screens show when your drink is being prepared and when it's ready. The shop was very busy when I went, and I had to wait about half an hour for my drink. Total: 3.5/5 read more

Happy to be able to visit one of Mixue's second location in California! Always come here for the soft serve! Came here during soft opening, they seem to open until 9 pm as they are figuring out logistics. Keep note at least during soft opening they said they don't have matcha. They even had a Mixue sign hanging to match the rest of the plaza. The staff seem very nice, looking forward to when they open up officially ! read more

The place to go for some cheap desserts but they run out of stuff and very inefficient from ordering to getting your ice cream or shake. Line is crazy long and just not worth it imo read more

All the ice cream tastes good, the kids love it. I ordered fruit tea with 50% surfer, good. read more

Came on a weekday, was not busy but smaller space compared to the one in City of Industry. Solid drinks & wait was about 5mins. It is next to a Starbucks in a plaza full of eateries so parking could be tough during park times but at 1130am no issues finding a spot. read more

The service was super quick and the merchandise was absolutely adorable. Love their affordable prices and helpful coworkers. I got the pearl milk tea with 70% sweet but it still tasted super sweet haha, I'll make sure to order 25-50% next time but other than that everything was nice! read more

Mixue offers a lot of desserts and sweet drinks at a super cheap price, and I mean extreme for the price you're paying. You're honestly getting your money's worth. The specific location has a bathroom in the parking outside is pretty good. You don't have to pay. I got the Matcha soft-serve and the lemonade and they were very good. It's something you would pay around $6 to $9 for, but thankfully Mixue offers it at a nice price. I see other reviews writing about how the service here is bad, and honestly, I can see what they mean, but I didn't encounter anything bad, but there was a lady with blonde highlights, and she honestly seems to really grumpy, which is ironic because the store is playing happy music and is decorated nicely. read more

I was so excited to try this place and am happy to report it didn't disappoint. Space is kind of small, but there are some chairs and tables to sit and hang out. The environment is super fun with lots of plushies, keychains, and merch available for purchase. Might've gone overboard ordering 4 drinks, but the prices are hard to beat ($2-5 and 49 cents for add-ons). Plus, their classic ice cream cones are $1.19! Everything came out super quickly, and the quality of everything was spot on. I'm bummed that they ran out of matcha ice cream today, but I'm excited to come back and try it! read more

For less than $2 per icecream cone I have noooo idea why so many ratings aren't that good. The vanilla and matcha were delicious, super creamy and not too sweet. Loved them!! read more

Mixue - Soft serve vanilla and matcha 10/10 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I loooove how rich and smooth the soft serve is. It's not gonna taste quite like other vanilla soft serve you find here in the US, so don't expect something as sweet as Dairy Queen. The sundaes offer a nice balance of toppings, too. Considering how just about every other ice cream shop has jumped in price over the last few years, the low prices here are very welcome. Unfortunately, this location loses a star for not only being cashless (I know it's common these days, but for any store that isn't a tiny 1-person operation or a temporary pop-up, unwillingness to accept legal tender loses points with me), but the order kiosks have given me grief each time I've come (three visits). My partner and I have had to cancel our order multiple times before it would take any of the three cards between us - probably not a problem on our end since we have different banks! read more

I came during the soft opening. It was honestly chaotic. As soon as we walked in, the workers were yelling at each other behind the counter. At one point an employee threw down his apron, said "fuck it," and then walked away. It seemed like they may have been overwhelmed with online orders. It was also confusing because one worker was telling people they were closed while another told customers we could only get free ice cream cones. The ice cream cone was actually really good, but the overall experience was uncomfortable. I didn't get to try any of the drinks this time, but I'm hoping to come back once things settle down. Hopefully the service improves because I'd like to give this place another chance. read more

My wife and I love the soft serve here, so good and cheap. It's insane how cheap their soft serve is. Minus one star because service many times is not that good. You can see many workers just standing there not doing anything. read more

Mixue - Hours posted are not accurate - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Got the grape with taro balls, peach oolong tea, strawberry sundae, and an ice cream cone. I went here with low expectations due to the poor reviews but it wasn't as bad as how others made it to be. Order at a kiosk and wait for your order to be called. Ice cream and drinks are called separately. I appreciate how they scream out the numbers to confirm you are actually there before making the ice cream. Drinks were made quickly. Vanilla ice cream cone - it's definitely on the sweeter side but it's not icy like how some mentioned. It's definitely not Chinese buffet ice cream where it tastes like ice with a bit of milk. There is creaminess to it, but don't expect it to be creamy like American ice cream. There is also a bit of a milk powder taste to it. It's a bit too sweet but balanced out with the waffle cone. Strawberry sundae- I wouldn't get this again. It's way too sweet. I'd describe it as a mini version of costcos berry sundae, but less creamy. Peach oolong tea - loved the crunchy peach bits they included in the drink. There were also some coconut jellies in it. The drink itself is on the sweeter side. I got 50% sugar and less ice but it tasted more like 100% to me. The jellies probably made the drink sweeter. Grape with taro balls - I was skeptical about taro balls in grape but was surprised how well it actually tasted together. There also coconut jellies in the drink. I also got 50% for this but it tasted more like 100% as well. The taro balls aren't sweet, but it's a nice alternative to boba. Both drinks weren't very strong in tea taste, it's mostly sugar. Overall, this is a very affordable option for ice cream and drinks in the area. I'd come back for the ice cream cone. read more

Please don't turn back if you see a long line, it moves up quick! I pwomissss! & also it worth it. Soft serve is very milky and creamy! The prices here are super affordable! The spot for heat coming up! if you order the soft serve, you don't need to wait to be called. Just show receipt to the awesome staff on the left side of the wall and they will serve to you. Fast! Definitely a new fave in my list! read more

The prices can't be beat, however I'd rather pay more for places that give better tasting drinks. The ice cream while inexpensive didn't taste that great, for that cost I'll just go to the Costco food court. I ordered the orange punch and it tasted like diluted orange juice with lots of rind, we also ordered the Strawberry Jasmine tea which also had orange rind in it and also tasted diluted. Unfortunately you get what you pay for and this was a one and done for us. read more

This place was incredibly busy, which is understandable since they just opened. Ordering online was easy, but the pickup process felt a little chaotic. There didn't seem to be a clear system for online orders, and with such a large crowd, it was hard to tell where the line started or ended. There were people who didn't have the common decency to wait after the ones who were there first. Nothing was done about that either. They were just taking whoever approached them and didn't address a line that was formed for pick up. I tried the Cookies & Cream ice cream and thought it was okay, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I can see why people are drawn to it, especially given the price point. One thing to note is that the ice cream is not lactose-free, so keep that in mind if you have dietary restrictions. read more

Super cheap soft serve that has a really milky flavor, kinda like the original milkita candies, but much creamier. Texture is pretty firm, which I personally like! The place is cute; there's a bunch of snow king merch and decor, but pretty small with little seating options. Even though it gets really crowded the line moves fast, and I've had a great experience in the few times I've visited. A pretty solid spot for vanilla soft serve! read more

Mixue - milk soft serve - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

A friend showed me that they had some grand opening promotion on Instagram so I decided to come here. It said there was something free with purchase of two drinks on this ad, but I looked over the entire menu and nothing existed with that name. I assume there was a line because of this, though in comparison that new place at the Spectrum still hasn't abated in line length either. The way one orders is by using a kiosk and entering one's phone number. It's a good thing I bought that prepaid phone. They had two kiosks, as seems to be the standard of most tea places. At the time they did not have a human cashier. The line was probably too long. I decided to get no sugar due to gaining too much weight recently. This made the drinks taste very diluted. I've made juice from concentrate before and I would say the amount of flavor it tasted like was if it was 10% concentrated, so it was like I was drinking Ocean Spray. I'll get soft serve next time, but I didn't choose to get it because they said to buy "two drinks" on the ad, and other than a milkshake there was a lack of things that didn't look caffeinated. This place gets 3* for doing what it's supposed to do, but I don't think I'd want to rate it any higher than that. read more

Not a bad spot for affordable soft serve and drinks. Had a Super Cookie and Super Strawberry Sundae. Not bad, standard tasting soft serve that is topped with a propionate amount. Happy they used actual strawberries tho. Service was good. Second official opening day, can imagine they were overwhelmed, but they were organized and did a great job. read more

I love Mixue in China. While these drinks are incredibly cheap compared to other boba locations, their milk teas are extremely lacking. I got the jasmine milk tea with boba and the spring oolong milk tea with boba. Both lacked significantly in tea flavor, especially the jasmine which tasted like milk and boba and some unknown flavor (maybe masked from the boba syrup?) Overall I cannot recommend this Mixue as it is today. I'm not sure if the teas are just overly diluted or if their teas are just not strong in flavor, since their drinks are combined perfectly by a single machine. No complaints for service or ambiance, I just wish their tea flavor was stronger. read more

Very confused, the "vanilla" soft serve taste like nothing. The matcha is great though read more

Do. Not. Come. Here. You truly get what you pay for at Mixue. With their hard-to-come-by low prices in this economy, you also get hard-to-come-by HORRIBLE food and drinks. Starting off on their only semi-redeeming quality, their soft serve was mediocre at best. While it wasn't the vanilla flavor I was expecting and wanting, tasting like straight up milk instead, it might tickle a lot of people's fancies. Definitely not mine though. On the other hand, their Jasmine Milk Tea was the absolute worst JMT I have ever consumed. I genuinely do not know what they put in there to receive that flavor profile but it is borderline offensive. I definitely WON'T be coming back and I implore you to think twice before trying this spot out. read more

love this place it's super cheap and the ice cream is good. it tastes similar to the white rabbit candy and only for ~$1! the drinks are cheaper too maybe from $3-$6 but some of the drinks are a bit watered down. service is fast and they also have two kiosks. not much tables and chairs inside but there are some seating areas around the shop. would come again if im in the area and only have 4 bucks in my wallet but not worth the 30min drive read more

Mixue definitely attracts a crowd. The drinks and ice cream are very affordable, and they even give a free ice cream cone with every drink purchase. On paper, it sounds like a great deal. Unfortunately, the quality doesn't live up to the hype. If you enjoy a cone that's sweeter than the ice cream itself, this might be the place for you. The ice cream was surprisingly bland and lacked the creamy, rich flavor I was expecting. I also ordered the affogato, but it tasted watered down and flavorless, with very little coffee character. Considering the long lines and the fact that you're often standing outside in the sun waiting, the experience just wasn't worth it for me. Cheap prices are nice, but they don't make up for disappointing flavors. I wanted to like it, but there are plenty of other places where the ice cream and coffee actually taste like something. read more

Vanilla soft ice cream was good; however, the service and time that I waited inside for 2 other ice creams were bad. I waited over 40 minutes and I felt like I was going to pass out. Ambiance is not friendly, so many people who smelled so bad and too crowded where I felt like I was there for some free stuff. read more

*4 stars for service *2 stars for taste I wanted to try this place since it's the largest food chain in the world, and the Irvine one is pretty new. My son got the banana shake and I got the milk tea with boba. It was our first time, so we got the regular sweetness level. It was way too sweet so I asked them to fix it. The employee emptied half of the drink out into the sink and added some milk and water mixture from the dispenser and asked me to try it. It ended up being too diluted and bland so she made a new drink at 50% sweetness. I left the store thinking there was no way it would be as sweet at that point, but it was still super sweet. I ended up adding more water to it when I got home. Next time I would get the 30% sweetness level. I can't imagine anyone getting 200%??? read more

Is it the best ice cream and drinks I've had? No. But for $1.19 for a soft serve cone, you really can't beat it. The milk tea isn't the best. It tastes a bit watered down and the tea flavor isn't strong. I'd rather spend a bit more at a better place for milk tea. The real star is the ice cream. The ice cream is a creamy and light soft serve. Beating out even McDonald's prices but with better quality, I'd recommend anyone to try it for a cheap refreshing dessert. read more

Unbeatable prices. Went for the matcha ice cream - was available to order on kiosk. When it came to pick up my order, was told that they ran out. Weird because I came within one hour of store opening. So did yall ran out or is it just unavailable? Talked to employee and was later told matcha is only available on Tuesdays and Sundays. So, don't go if ur going for matcha ice cream unless its on a tuesday or sunday i guess read more

My partner and I have been here many times since its opening and love the drinks & soft serve. The quality is great for the price and everything is very delicious. However the staff are often very rude and unhelpful. A few days ago when we came here we ordered some soft serve and drinks and our drinks have been ready for a while but the soft serve was not, so we went up to the staff attending to the soft serve station and politely asked if our order was ready in a kind manner, and the female staff just replied "I'll get to it when I get to it" in a rude manner. Tonight we placed our order for pickup through a food delivery app and waited more than 20 minutes past the food preparation time in the app and watched many people who ordered after us get their drinks, but our order was not ready yet and was still "delayed" in the app. We finally went into the store to check on our order and realized it was ready more than 15 minutes ago but the staff never hit "finished" so we were never notified that the order was ready, and the ice cream sundae we ordered was just sitting there for a long time. We wanted to confirm if the ice cream is in the to go bag because we didn't think they would just leave ice cream sundae sitting out for more than 15 minutes & would make it for us when we pick up (we later realized they did just leave it out there sitting), and the male staff pointed at the to-go bag and yelled at us "is it not in there?!" very rudely. The food is delicious and great for the price but the staff are often very rude and talks to customers very inappropriately. I'm not asking for amazing service but I would at least not like for the staff to talk rudely to me like I'm always doing them injustice and inconveniencing them when I'm just picking up my food. read more
