I came all the way out here for one of those cool looking reusable cups with the design on them and the twist looking lid. I've been seeing a lot with the cute astronaut on the cups, sailor moon and other collections with different shows When I walked in I saw all the glass shelves with all the cool different cups. So I got really excited. (The place actually had a bunch of cute stuff everywhere). I was greeted by really friendly staff. I asked her how it works? Like, how much do I have to spend in order to get these cool cups? Is it just certain drinks it comes in? And then that's when she told me that I have to check their Instagram to see when they are giving those out. (I even offered to pay for them, but unfortunately she said they weren't for sale) and just kept telling me to check their Instagram account for when they are having the cups available for that. This was really disappointing, but I did still stay and get a drink. Which, it actually was extremely delicious. I went with one of the- Chill me, drinks. I went with the pink frost. The chill me drinks say- they are made with non dairy base, blended ice, real fruit, 100 percent juice and no artificial syrups or powders used The pink frost had pomegranate and coconut. And again this was absolutely delicious. So I would come back and hope that it's on the days where they have the cute cups. I just wish that since they had the cups on display that I could of bought one of them Other than that, the staff was friendly and the drink was really good. But I wouldn't have came if I knew that and wish it was listed somewhere so I could have at least called beforehand. So that's the only reason for the 4 stars

glass design change

amazing that I haven't written about this place already. I still had the old glass bottles in my photos for here. After all this time this place still has some solid hitters that you just can't get anywhere else. Always end up leaving with a Jack n Jill or the Yeti, i also like castaway.

Long Beach is one of their newer locations (I'm not sure if they've opened more, but it's one of my favorite locations to go to aside from Westminster. I always get good service here at this location and it's a must go to before heading home to San Jose. The people I've encountered at this location have always been very nice and sweet despite me ordering 10 drinks at a time. This interior of this location is super cute and clean. If you need to use the bathroom, they're located outside across from the store. Pro tip: this coffee freezes really well! Hence me buying 10 at a time. Also, my very picky Vietnamese mother loves their coffee too and that's saying A LOT.

We're frequent customers of Roasting Water, but this was our first time checking out this location. It's located in the Long Beach Towne Center near the movie theater. One of the things we've always liked about Roasting Water is the variety of drinks and the unique cup designs that set them apart from other boba spots. We visited during a promotion--spend $15 and get a free character keychain. The staff was nice enough to dig through the options so we could get the character we wanted.

so yummy! the prices are great and the vietnamese coffee was soooo good and not too sweet!

Strawberry blonde smoothie and green milk tea with boba

Been coming here for years every once in a while and I really enjoy the drinks that I get! I've also been getting super cute bottles every time! It was empty when we went on a Saturday evening so drinks came out quick! Friendly service. They have lots of cute stuff to buy ranging from various animes to Studio Ghibli merch. What we ordered: -Strawberry Blonde Smoothie: I've always gotten smoothies because the smoothies just hit different here. Anyways, this one was so refreshing and good! Nice mango flavor and creaminess (I feel like there's yogurt in this one? It didn't say.) and wasn't too sweet. I didn't taste the strawberry much but I enjoyed it! 4/5 -Green Milk Tea with boba: My brother got this and really enjoyed this! Something I noticed: Their bottles have definitely changed through the years. I believe that they used to be glass and have an actual cork lid! This was what lured all of us to this place back in the day. Then they transitioned to plastic bottles with metal screw on lids that had a small handle which was very handy! Now, they are plastic with a wider mouth and a larger screw on cap without a handle. I'm guessing that these newer cups are more affordable and durable than the OG ones which is totally understandable. Props to them for being able to consistently offer cute/cool designs on their bottles that customers can reuse and staying relevant through all these years because a lot of businesses have closed down in the plaza that this shop is located in and not much new businesses have opened up since. Overall, I really like this place and love the bottles they present their drinks in! I'll definitely continue supporting this unique place!

Lots of lychee
Victoria C.

I would definitely say that parking/getting to this location is a bit chaotic. This Roasting water is located in LB towne center and it is right by the freeway, so there is a lot of traffic in and out. Maybe I just go during the busiest time, but it is always a bit of a struggle for me. The shop is quite small so it is very easy to miss if you aren't too familiar with the location. I typically get the fruit teas/tea. I've had most of the drinks and my usual go-to is lots of lychee and the white peach tea. Honorable mention to Attraction (from the chill me section) as that is a personal favorite during the summer heat. Personally, I'm not a fan of the chocolate drinks, so I would say those are a pass. With the tea drinks, you are able to choose from 3 different tea types - green, jasmine, and herbal. If you don't want the caffeine, then definitely go with the herbal. With the drinks, you are able to ask for less ice and less sweetness! Overall I would say the drinks aren't overwhelmingly sweet. One thing I do really like about Roasting Water is that the drinks are served in reusable bottles! I do, however, miss the glass bottles they used to have, but these plastic ones are a lot more convenient.

I ordered a chili me drink. I ordered with Steven and he had a really bad attitude and constantly rolled his eyes every time I asked for assistance. The service was really slow. The set up of store was clean and neat but he wasn't organized while making drinks. My drink wasn't filled up it was half way.

I ordered a milk tea and I got a cup of ice and some tea. $5.95 for about 8 ounces of tea. Just a little pricey

What time y'all really close cause the GG one says 10 on Yelp but 8 at the door?

I have swung by twice on my way to work recently around 8:30 in the morning and they are not open! Does anyone know what time they really open? (Online it says 7:30AM)

9 am!

Do they accept apple pay?

probably

Do the hot drinks also come in the bottles?

No, just the cold drinks

How's the lava lush?

Never had it but I have not had anything bad yet at the place

Are the glass bottles coming back? Went for n there just now and they're using the plastic bottles. *Boo*

Unfortunately there's no knowing when they'll have what design. It's best to call ahead of time before going in or check their IG page to keep up with their designs.

Are the bottles BPA free? Ive been getting a lot of responses about being glass. Their bottles are plastic.

I do not know. The bottles do not have a recycling number. Sometimes they give out glass bottles but recently I've been getting plastic.

Could you choose what glass you want? The mermaid one looks so beautiful

no

What's a popular drink??? A smoothie or chill me

Strawberry blonde
