I don't really know what's going on with this spot lately, I believe there's been a management change. But as it is now, it's honestly a bit hostile. I came in a few times after the renovation and the cafe is totally empty of decor, and they never have most of the items on the now-small menu. It used to be a nice spot to sit down and chill, but I would never do that now. I'm always getting the vibe that the one employee there absolutely doesn't want you in there, and they're typically hiding behind the counter? Even when the door is open. Again, I'm not sure what's going on. I don't want to be rude. I hope it's just some transitional changes, because I quite enjoyed the old Pink Pig-- cheap, fast, and friendly. The woman behind the counter was very sweet. Now there's really not much reason to go there when you could have a better and less hostile cup of tea at the other two spots in the plaza. read more

I was lured in the buy one get one for $1.00 special. Limited menus and I got the matcha latte. It was very average. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Located inside UTC, parking is limited to 30 minutes to 2 hours. Inside there is 4 tables and lots of outlets. They do have their own wifi but didn't see the password posted anywhere. On friday, the both the taro and uji matcha is $1.99 for the drink and pudding. order: - $1.99 Uji Matcha Milk Tea (3/10): tasted very watered down. will be making a face with each sip, not good - $1.99 Taro Milk Tea (8/10): not real taro i think but still good and refeshing. way better than the uji matcha. Can order on a kiosk and service was quick. read more

Pink Pig is a tea/boba shop at the University center across from UCI. Their menu is unique and they have some interesting and fun drinks but as a milk tea fan I always stick to it. I saw that they had a Hokkaido Milk Tea and I had to try it. It's heavier on the flavor of Japanese milk and I had added the pink boba to it. It's regular boba just pink in color. You order at the kiosk and pick up when your name is called. The drink was good and I had also ordered a regular black milk tea with boba too just to compare. Slightly weak on branding I think other wise this place has potential to do well. No prints or images on the cups, and the inside is slightly dark and dull. But they have a place to take a pic with a floral background in one corner. read more

Right after the Sanrio store, we came here for drinks. They had a few specials. Buy 6 drinks, get 1 free. Buy 1, get the same drink for $1. Or buy a drink and pay x for dessert. I wanted two different drinks so none of those deals worked for us. I ended up with Uji Matcha Milk Tea and it was so bold, strong, and earthy. I loved it. Kept me wired all day. The kiddo got strawberry yogurt and she loved it. We loved it too. It was fruit creamy and refreshing. Must use the tablet to place order. I didn't speak a word to the girl behind the counter. read more

Solid milk tea! We got the Postmates BOGO deal for their milk tea. Only adjustment was for the drink to be half sweet. They did a good job. The tea tasted great. No complaints. read more

I came here with my sister and this was our first time coming here since we've been looking for new boba spots to try. Today, my sister got the watermelon fruit tea and I got the Oreo brulee with strawberry popping boba. The Oreo brulee was delicious, sweet, and great texture and flavor. The strawberry popping boba was delicious, fruity, and burst was fantastic to bite. I would give my drink a 5/5 since this was so delicious and sweet. There is plenty of parking. They have their promo on buy one get same one for $1. The service was fast & employee is very nice and friendly. The store has a great atmosphere, spacious, and clean. I would definitely come back here to try their other boba drinks! read more

Dropped by here the other day before a concert and it was a very nice visit. Lots to choose from, and I ended up with a strawberry guava fruit drink which was very good. Inside had a nice spot to take photos as well as tables for people who wanted to hang and study. Ordering was easy off the counter tablet, while staff was quick and friendly in getting the drink out. Also, such a a cute pig plush for sale! read more

I wanted to like this spot because the drink options look delicious but unfortunately this is one of the worst boba spots. I got the strawberry guava and it tasted completely watered down with a weird aftertaste, 0 flavor. I don't even know how it's possible to mess up basic fruity flavors. Cheese foam tasted like it went bad. Thai Tea Brûlée was okay also tasted bland, disappointed overall. Also they ran out of boba at 3pm? No trash inside store, no music playing, it really had the vibe that they just want you out of there as quick as possible. read more

Came here around noon on a Friday after seeing a sign on the window that they have a promo for a buy one get one for $1! I ordered Uji matcha brûlées with pink boba. A lot of boba shops have this type of drink, and Pink Pig's version was pretty much what I expected. However, you really can't beat the promo price, and I think a good deal makes food taste better. I liked the pink boba too, which matched the theme of the place and was a nice texture. Service was fast, and the shop itself is cute and has a few seats. read more

Reliable boba spot in UTC! Especially good for college students as they currently have a BOGO free drink special on certain drinks. You must get the same exact 2nd drink and toppings are NOT included. The boba is pink(!) and chewy and sweet. Coffee milk tea 5/5: Super delicious if you're craving both milk tea and coffee Tieguanyin oolong milk tea 5/5: Refreshing oolong milk tea! It is very cute inside with pink walls and piggy stuffed animals everywhere. :) read more

Pink Pig has been rarely busy the times I've gone. I ordered the taro milk tea with lychee jelly and 25% sweetness and it was pretty good! Just the right amount of sweetness (I can't imagine what 100% sweetness would taste like). The jelly was a fun textural addition to the drink I like the quality of the cup/lid, oddly enough. It's not super cheap plastic, so I can reuse it for other things later. They also sell some other things like packaged noodles. One thing I thought was weird when I went was their stamping system. I went with 3 other people and we all ordered drinks. When we picked up our drinks, we asked for a stamp card with all of our drinks on there. She ended up giving each of us separate stamp cards with one stamp each. Not sure if there was a misunderstanding or if she didn't want so many stamps on one card. read more

I stopped by because I noticed they have macarons, now! They are cute and only $3.50, even for the character ones! Just be careful if you are gifting them. The container squished the bears and cracked them. I just bought them for my kids and me, so it was fine. But, if I were buying them to give away, I wouldn't want them to crack. The black sesame cookie was not too sweet. It had chocolate chips and pecans inside. They offer to warm it up for you. read more

Delicious drinks, cute décor, quick service, plenty of other snacks, affordable prices AND bundle deals! I wanted a sweet drink to top off a night out with friends and ended up getting a delightfully dense chocolate cake to go along with it. They got me! read more

Got the Uji Matcha Cloud since there was a BOGO free promo on certain drinks. The place was really cute and offers a lot of freebies and cool things! There's a Photo Booth in the shop as well as plushies available for purchase. If you spend over a certain amount, you also get to pick a free plushie! There were also samples out of their coconut pudding which was very interesting. The drink itself, I must say is pretty watered down!! Typically matcha drinks are matcha poured over some milk, but this tasted just like matcha, water, and sugar. Maybe that was my mistake not knowing what I ordered? The boba was good and chewy though! I would come back here again to give it another chance! read more

Hidden within UTC, Pink Pig offers all the typical drinks. The special thing about this place at the moment is the BOGO deal! The drink has to be the same but with inflation, it's hard to beat that! The service is quick service, you can order through the kiosk or wait for the person behind the counter. Boba is nice and chewy! Find it near the sushi restaurant. read more

Was drawn in by the interior decor, but was not a fan of the milk tea I got. Pink Pig is a cafe/dessert shop at UTC, the shopping center across from the university. The former tenant was Snow Monster. Closest parking spots are near Target, Regal, and Chick-fil-A. The interior is a little bare but is pretty picturesque. There's a flower wall for sharing pictures on social media, and I saw pig plushies for sale. They have a few tables if you're planning to sit and chat for a bit. You can also sit outside around UTC. They have a good selection of drinks, with several milk teas and fruit tea options to choose from. Several toppings to choose as well. Sweetness is adjustable, but I don't remember being able to change the amount of ice. No milk alternatives, but most of the menu is dairy-free. Order using one of the tablets on the counter. There's also a couple of food and bakery items. Classic Milk Tea was $4.95, and pink honey pearls were an additional sixty cents. All I could really taste was the artificial creamer they used, not much tea flavor. The pink boba was a little too firm but was edible. It was a mistake trying this place, to say the least. read more

Ordered the milk tea with the pink honey boba. Not sure if this place uses powder to flavor their tea that includes the sugar because I ordered 25% sweetness and the tea really did not taste like anything. The boba was also not sweetened very much so didn't taste like anything either. But the pink boba and interior is cute! Service was fairly quick considering there was only one person working there and not many people since it was the middle of the day. read more

My friend knew I love pigs, so she mentioned this spot to me and I came here the following weekend! Not much pig aspect besides the cute pink decor, pig logo, and some cute pig plushies. Pig plushies are available for purchase or if you spend x amount of money, you can grab a free toy. Kiosk ordering is always a plus, but if you need assistance, someone is available to take your order. When I went, there was only one person working, so the orders came out kind of slow, but it wasn't a big deal for me. I got two delicious brûlée drinks, which were less than $7 each, which is a steal these days considering how expensive boba has gotten, haha. Overall, I was expecting a little more as a pig fan, but the drinks I got were yummy, so I would come back to try more things. read more

Small boba shop with a decent selection of drinks. Sweetness was adjusted correctly and tea is very aromatic. Ordering is done through their point of sale system. Menu is clear with descriptions and selections with options are intuitive to go through. Not a lot of seating inside, but plenty of places to hang out outside. read more

On one occasion, their boba was perfectly chewy and bouncy. On another occasion, their boba was beyond mushy and sticky, almost like mochi (but worse), so it's kind of a gamble on what you will receive. In terms of cost, if you pick from their buy-one-get-one-$1, you'll get two drinks with boba for ~$4, which is pretty good. read more

Very nice drinks--not too sweet. I got the golden oolong and it was perfect! My friend got a non-dairy milk tea so they have good variety too! They also offers sweets like tiramisu and cheesecake. The tiramisu was good, almost not too sweet and better than whole foods in my opinion. The lady at the counter was very sweet too, great service. Overall, definitely would recommend, even compared with other local tea places like Cha Tea. read more

I have been here about 3 times in the course of a few years and randomly return because I absolutely love the name! Now I love a sweet drink but this place consistently sells sugar water. Like I'm not exaggerating like legit sugar water topped with crystal sugar boba. Quality is bad. My last drink I had pretty recently was a Hokkaido Milk Tea w/ 70% sweetness and the quality was so bad I tossed it after some sips. I have never tossed a boba drink in my life. read more

Place was empty when I went during finals week- not a great sign. Was hoping for a secret hit as their menu looked great, but the drink I got (some kind of Matcha Brûlée) was so bad I threw it out after a few sips. Lady behind the counter was nice and the ambiance of the place was cute, but unfortunately, with so many wonderful options in the area, this one is definitely a skip. read more

My girlfriend and I gave this place a try, I felt bad for the one person making the tea, but they were quick and efficient. The tea isn't super sweet like some other places, but that's what I like. I got the matcha red bean tea, and my girlfriend got the honey milk tea, and they were delightful and refreshing. The little pastry counter was cute and stocked with interesting items. we had to try ourselves a Tirimasu crepe cake again, not super sweet but very delicious. read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!! We got the uji matcha and after an hour we immediately felt sick and nauseous. All we wanted to do was throw up. The matcha powder they use tastes wrong. The agar boba texture was awful and the aftertaste was even worse. I wish I could give it 0 stars. Although my nausea has subsided, every time I burp I can still taste this terrible drink. read more

Don't order food here. I was warned that it might take a while. After 30 min, I checked & was told that they had forgotten to make the order. And the tea didn't sit well in my stomach either. There are multiple better boba options at UTC. read more

Came yesterday and was highly dissatisfied the matcha taste like nothing , the creme brulee taste weird , the matcha pudding was like 60% water to pudding ratio , overall just a unpleasant experience and way overpriced for the quality of items you get will never return here again nutella flavor was alright but why did it taste like chocolate banana read more

This place is UNDERRATED! They have a good variety of drinks, and my favorite is the Jasmine Matcha Latte. They also have great deals! $1.99 for an Uji Matcha Milk Tea, or Buy One Get One for $0.99 (selected drinks). Be sure to order via Kiosk! read more

Good drinks and experience! In September, one of us had a coffee milk tea. Another had the chichi mango which included strawberries.

Second time coming here and every drink I've tried is exceptional. Their taro milk cloud legit tastes like childhood taro ice cream, it's incredible. I haven't found another boba place that makes it like them (and I've tried almost all the places in Irvine). Their chichi drinks are great too and super refreshing, with real pieces of fruit inside! The service is amazing. The owner is super sweet and spent a lot of time answering all of the questions we had about the drinks! This is a must try!! read more
