Pineapple Crush with boba
Ashley M.

Roasting waters, wow! I have not been here in 6 years. I happened to be in the area and I was like "roasting waters?!" I had to swing by to grab something. I arrived in the morning around 11:30ish and it was not busy at all. I asked the cashier for recommendations since I haven't been in such a long time. The service wasn't anything crazy. He answered my questions but was not overly enthusiastic or friendly. I ended up ordering the pineapple crush with jasmine tea as the base. I really enjoyed it-- I wanted something refreshing for the warm morning & that sure did it. I loved eating the pineapple chunks with the boba I added. The plastic cup they provide is the cutest thing ever and can def be reused. We love a recycling queen. The top even has a removable lid where the mouth spout is. I was amazed. I'm use to the lids you have to flip and stick inside the cup, so go figure something different and I was like WoOoOoOow! Overall the prices are within the market for drinks, and I like the fact I get a reusable cup with it. Inside they have some cute merch! Other characters and such. Located in the towne center, there's ample parking in the lots.

I used to be obsessed with this place but haven't been in awhile, and never to this location. First off, as soon as you walk in, you are transported to a cute teahouse with cute cups on display that I always wish you could buy. So many Hello Kitty ones that are super cute. There is some wall art throughout the tea house, too. Def worth a photo. We came on a Saturday afternoon and it was empty so we got my order quick. I ordered the Strawberry Kiss. I got green tea as my base and the drink comes with strawberry bits. My mistake in not adding boba and the girl at register didn't ask either. The tea was a bit bitter but may be because of the green tea. It was okay and not my favorite. To top it off, this location does not give away the collector cups. I just got my drink in a regular cup. That was the fun part about coming here and collecting the cups. Overall, not much of a fan for their teas and this is probably my last time here.

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

I absolutely love coming here. The drinks are incredibly delicious, and the customer service is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend visiting this place (:

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.

Update review.... still going strong here at Roasting Waters. Enjoyed 2 hot drinks (jasmine sea cream n RW mocha coffee). Both tasty but on the sweet side. Not sure if u can have sweetness adjusted. Staff friendly n efficient.

Mocha frappe and strawberry blonde

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
Jaeden Y.

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

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

Very impressed with this place! They have both kiosk and cashier ordering available, and I liked…read morethat they had a display that showed the flavor profile of each tea strain. Ordered the phoenix oolong milk tea and it was very floral and fragrant. I think I ordered with slightly less sugar (don't remember the %) and it was just the right amount of sweetness for me! Service is standard. Interior is clean and modern, great for chatting and hanging out with friends. I also noticed they have wifi available, so it's possible to study here (I didn't notice too many outlets or seating though). Will come back for their other teas.

The interior is modern with two tables fit for 2-5 people and a bench for waiting. They have a self-order kiosk but you can order with a person too. The grapefruit tea was refreshing and had great flavor without being too sweet or bitter. I got 25% sweetness which was perfect. Aloe was an additional 75 cents. The music was good. The drink had actual chunks of fruit too. The bad: I ordered wintermelon tea but they ran out. I also wanted to use the rest room but it was out of order. There's no outdoor seating. The interesting: The cup has a paper seal but also a plastic lid on top. Suggested tip auto starts at 22%. They have tea leaves out on display so you can see that they brew tea themselves rather than use a powder. They have a red bean frappe as a seasonal flavor (are red beans a summer thing?).

As I got it for to-go to be consumed the next day, intentionally got it without milk as I added the milk myself at home. Lovin' how both the wintermelon and oolong tea flavors stood out strong.

I got the Oolong Milk Tea, and the tea quality was really good. you can actually taste the oolong instead of it being overly sweet. The boba pearls were fair/decent and paired well with the drink. I also tried the Thai Tea Slush, which was refreshing and good overall. I just wish the Thai tea flavor was one notch stronger so it came through a little more. Service was great... all the workers were friendly, welcoming, and fast with our order. As for the ambiance, its definitely more of a quick grabandgo tea spot. There are a few small seats and tables where you can sit, socialize, or wait for your drinks, but its not really designed to be a place where you hang out for hours. Overall, solid spot for authentic flavors, good quality tea, and quick service. Would definitely come back!
