    I came in today for the shaved ice as I saw the shaved ice A-board outside a few days ago and it is just too hot lately. I kept my expectation low (realistic?) because I wasn't sure what to expect. My first impression walking in, this place is for teenagers and young adults. You have to walk pass a few tabletop games and electronics games to get to the ordering kiosks. The kiosk is fairly easy to use. You will receive a link to receipt also when the order is ready. I would put its shaved ice in the category of snow cones. I wonder if these mini ice cubes are made in trays due to its perfect square shape. Syrups are not too sweet. But the ice clung together towards the bottom of the cup. Overall it is not a bad option to cool down.

    The label says "No Ice" but they put a ton of ice in the drink and refused to make us a new one.

    I've been coming to this boba shop for years, but unfortunately today they've lost a loyal customer. My 8 yr old son ordered a drink with NO ICE. He specifically chose no ice because he doesn't like watery drinks. When he picked up his drink, he didn't tell me that they had ignored his request and made his drink with a ton of ice. He drank some of it because he was thirsty but when I realized that the drink had ice, I told my son we needed to go back to let them know so that they can make him a new drink. The guy at the counter said that they were not going to make him another drink because my son had already drank some of it. I pointed out that the drink had ice even though the label clearly said "no ice" and that an 8 yr old doesn't know about returning a drink that wasn't made to his specifications. The guy at the counter still said no, that he will not be making us a new drink even though it was his mistake not ours. I expressed that we are regulars at this place and that it's a bummer they'll be losing a customer but he didn't seem to care. I've attached the picture with the "no ice" label which clearly shows a ton of ice.

    Stopped by here after a hike in the area. Once you walk in there's a touchscreen where you can place an order yourself and it's pretty convenient. They also have a bunch of board games and vending/claw machines to play while waiting or enjoying your drink. The tea tasted fine and prices are good.

    After lunch, we boba! I think I've only had Presotea once before, so I wasn't very familiar with their menu offerings. However, they have self-serve kiosks so that you can take your time viewing the menu and pick whatever your heart desires. I wanted something fruity, light and cold since I had some numbing noodles next door. I was already hot from lunch, so I needed something to cool me off. I decided to go with the Strawberry Cloud with pudding. It was blended to almost an ice cream consistency and the pudding was a nice complement. Highly recommend and would definitely get again.

    Brown sugar avocado smoothie with sea salt cream - decent. The main issue is that the boba was either overcooked or it's been sitting for a while

    It's a great area to hangout with kids or friends because of the amount of board games and interactive things they provide for you. My kids love playing their jenga, Pac-Man arcade games here. However, for drinks no. Their strawberry cloud was not good and no flavour given it was 100% sweet. It was barely sweet so my kids did not like their drink.

    Great boba shop with lots of daily deals. They have a summer promotion for BOGO Brown sugar series and a coffee happy hour for BOGO coffee drinks from 10:30am-2:00 pm. They also accept the lake forest yifti gift card so it makes it an even better deal. Inside they offer claw machines at $1 a play and unlimited arcade games. The boba is nice and chewy and the teas are pulled in thru an expresso machine. It does take a little longer to make each drink because of this. I opted for the roasted hojicha this time, but will definitely be back to try others.

    Tour De Boba continues. Writing this review at midnight because I drank my tea a little past my window, so I am currently wide awake. Oh man, I feel like the past year a dozen boba shops have opened in our area. I remember having to make the drive to Irvine for my boba fix. These days, I have options and they're all less than a 10 minute drive. Stumbled upon Presotea while having lunch a few doors down. (Long's Noodle House - ANOTHER GEM!) Immediately drawn in by the clean and modern interior. Quite surprised they're all digital... three stations to order & pay from. The interface is very user friendly. Makes ordering very smooth and easy. All their teas are freshly brewed / "pressed". I had the Lychee Milk tea with Lychee jelly. My new favorite drink and I don't usually get milk teas. We also tried the Matcha milk tea sub oat milk. Great flavors. I am a huge fan. Can't wait to try everything. They also have specials. Today was BOGO on select teas like the toffee milk tea & the Vietnamese coffee. Unless marked sold out on the screen. And per usual, quality takes time. But the drinks are worth it. The pricing surprised me too... cheaper than the other tea spots. Definitely highly recommend.

    Acai bowls

    Came here to try out their Acai bowls and they are not made fresh. Prepackaged and small. $9 for this? Not worth it. Quality of drinks have gone down too. Bummer and probably won't be back.

    Boba!!!

    Eeek this place is so cute!!! They have the cutest decor and photo spots lol. They also have a nice fish tank!! And like old school arcade games!! I didn't play any but how cute! You order at the kiosk when you walk in. I got the lychee tea. It tasted pretty good but I should've gotten at least 50% sugar. Or else it just tastes kind of bitter. Boo. But what a cute spot. Want to try their a açaí bowls next time!!!

    Food: I ordered the Hokkaido milk tea. It was better than expected. The price point was fair across the menu items. They also offer shaved ice and acai bowls. Service: it was good. I do believe that you'll get your drinks faster if you order online. Ambience: the shop was clean and tidy. Sofas, arm chairs, tables as well as board games are available for those that want to hang out to enjoy their drink. I thought that was a terrific idea.

    Decided to stop in for a refreshing milk tea one afternoon. Ordered a creme brulee milk tea with boba. The young woman working here was very nice and went about her work quickly...I mean Tasmanian Devil quick (finally an opportunity for a Warner Bros. cartoon reference)! I guess I was expecting some vanilla-caramel flavor but my taste buds registered it as tasting like a very, VERY milky Thai iced tea with extremely mushy boba. I'll probably give this place another try sometime, maybe try their Vietnamese coffee, but no rush.

We honestly didn't realize it was tucked inside a religious/community center. There were a lot of people studying there, and the space itself was really open and spacious. We were afraid that we were being too loud so I don't recommend this place to hang out unless you're studying or doing work. We also liked that there was a restaurant next to Sabr, so we ended up getting a quesadilla that was HUGE and was yummy treat to go with our drinks. For matcha, I got the einspanner and my friend got the Cinnamon Toast Matcha. I really enjoyed the einspanner matcha! It was smooth and definitely hit the spot. My only mistake was drinking it around 2 PM because I literally could not sleep the rest of the night haha. Overall, good drinks and a chill place to study. Will definitely come back again and try their other drinks next time!

Usually the people at the register would ask what level ice and sugar we'd like. It's been a while since we've been to a Ding Tea location and thought about trying this one out. The person at register did not ask us about sugar/ice level. Upon getting our drink (a lychee fruit juice), I felt the cup to be super heavy. I shook it to find out that the entire cup was filled with ice and filled with some lychee juice, it was really ridiculous. I asked the person at the register about it. She said it's usually a lot of ice in that specific drink because it's so sweet. It's a "very sweet drink" so they filled the cup up with ice? Hmm... Very interesting answer...I just left thinking this was a humorous but also very disappointing experience. I casually paid for a cup of flavored ice.

We had a perfect brew from the first attempt and trust me when I say this, we have tried so many times before. Our cupboards were full of various gadgets that promised a consistent cold brew and failed to deliver. But after our first batch, we donated them all! Hear me out, the "Toddy" equipment has no kitchen counter esthetics and the first up front cost seemed high for something with no chrome, metal or electronics at all. At the time I bought my "Toddy", there was a deal off the beans if bought at the same time. What I love about Blue Hummingbird is that everything you need, they sell there. The "Toddy" is the same brewing method they use in the roastery but the home version is on a much smaller scale. The freshly roasted beans on the shelves for sale are clearly marked to let you know if they work well for cold brew. Anyone behind the counter will tell you which blend they use in-house for their cold brew so you can copy it at home. They were so sweet to even write the grind number on the bottom of my bag so I'd remember when I needed more. The cold brew you make is a concentrate and they will give you a recommendation on what ratio of water to add so we had fun finding just the right strength. Best part of the entire experience is now when we travel and visit local coffee roasters, we buy beans with confidence knowing when we get home we will be able to brew a fantastic cold brew and it's all thanks to Blue Hummingbird Roastery in Irvine!
