As one of the handful of treats I promised my Kinder graduate, milk tea was one of the higher items on her list. Now I know I will most likely catch some heat for openly admitting that I give my child MT but it's not something we do regularly. And more importantly, I say this in the most respectful kind way but MIND YOURS :D Roasting Water was automatically the go-to spot simply due to all of the high ratings. At 3.9 stars and over 1900 reviews, coming here was a no brainer. The menu is broken down into a few different categories of: CHILL ME- ice blended tea with fruits, non dairy base TEA- brewed fresh daily. can be hot of cold. MILKY LATTE- milk based flavored lattes. doesn't contain any espresso. COFFEE- drinks can be hot, cold, or ice blended. drinks come with espresso but added shots can be customized. CHOCOLATE- all listed drinks are made with Ghirardelli chocolate. caffeinated and non caffeinated beverage options. SMOOTHIE- dairy based smoothies with fresh fruit and juice FRUIT TEA- base of these drinks are either green tea or jasmine. standard-ly made with non dairy. LEMONADE- all items made with fresh squeezed lemon & basil seeds. While there was so much to choose from and the listed customer top picks + employee recommendations, our family went with the OG. Buys consisted of: *OOLONG MILK TEA + BOBA *GREEN JASMINE MILK TEA + BOBA *BLACK JASMINE MILK TEA + BOBA Drinks are good but the default sweetness level is too much for me. It was an easy fix with letting the ice melt and adding more as I drank things down. The tea aspect stands out as opposed to being overshadowed by the milk and sweeteners. The boba was freshly made, had a good chew, and complimented the creamy drinks well. 5 stars!! Roasting Water is all about deliciousness & cutesy fun!! I was already a fan based off of the quality drinks but tack on these reusable bottles?? I'm all in!! The only issue we had was the drinks being messy for my toddler due to the cap having to be fully removed and a straw is just floating around while the drink is enjoyed. read more

Drinks are good. Cute bottles and cups. Like everyone else had mentioned the guy and lady (owners possibly) not friendly, not helpful... like chill TF out, y'all are selling drinks in little cute cups for god sakes. Also it'd be nice if u mentioned that we had a choice of getting bottle or cup. read more

We were craving boba teas and stopped in here since we were just down the street. It's a nice little boba shop with lots of cute items for purchase. Almost like a boba / gift shop. It was a weekend afternoon but we were the only ones there. No place to really sit and hang out so it's togo orders only. Our orders came out fast and we all enjoyed what we got. They also came in cute plastic reusable bottles as well. read more

It's a small and cute place. The store has lots of cute little items to buy. No sitting area though. I ordered the traditional iced Vietnamese coffee. It was okay. It felt a little watered down, probably because I'm used to very strong coffee. read more

I ordered a nutty banana plus boba, chocolate drizzle, sea salt cream, graham cracker crumble with half the usual ice: came out great

Drinks are always yummy! But this location is not the greatest. Looks a little run down, and staff was not super friendly. I love Roasting Waters, but I would recommend trying another location. read more

Roasting Water - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westminster, California

This place is super duper cute, small but really cute! They sell cute Sanrio and friends stuffies, totes, cups, and fun other Knick knacks. There isn't any place really to hang out here so no tables and a few chairs (probably to sit while just waiting for your drinks to be made). So you must order to go. They have a black board with customers and the employees' favs so it's nice to have some recommendations. We ordered a milky latte $6.75 and a black milk tea $6.20 adding boba. The milky tea was creamy (note this has no coffee in it). The black milk tea was really good. Both were really refreshing and came in a super cute reuseable plastic bottle. I did read the sign on the door, and it said they serve in glass containers and to be aware and safe while handling it. But we were served in a plastic bottle instead. So not sure if they ran out or what. But if you expect a glass bottle just be aware you may not get one. I would definitely come back to try other as they have a vast menu of drinks! read more

I suppose my last visit to Roasting Water was before to the Covid outbreak. At the time, the place provided a large reusable glass bottle. Since I'm in the area and have decided to buy the drinks there, I'm hoping to still get a reusable glass bottle. I ordered three drinks and waited 20 minutes before the worker delivered the drinks in smaller plastic reusable bottles now. To be honest, the drinks here are just okay; I'm here for the bottles, not the drinks. If you want to get drinks in reusable bottles, only visit Roasting Water. read more

Roasting Water in Westminster is easily one of the best spots for Asian drinks in SoCal. If you're looking for something high quality, this is the place. The shop is small and cozy with tons of fun decor that gives it a great vibe. Staff was friendly too. If you need a serious pick-me-up, get the Straight Cafe Sua Da. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Used to come here alot but I feel like the quality just went downhill. The bottles used to be glass but not it's plastic. The drinks used to be refreshing but they just don't hit the same anymore. The waiting area is small but the drinks come out quick. they always have good music playing though. read more

I had seen that the Alice in Wonderland bottles were available in the Instastory so made a point of visiting the store to get drinks after an appointment and on our way to run an errand. I ordered my usual of strawberry matcha latte with soy, a strawberry lemonade, and I had to have the Malibu smoothie again because I enjoyed it so much on my last visit. Daughter ordered a pink frost, a strawberry hibiscus lemonade, and a rose lemonade. A couple came in to order after us and a man came to pick up his coffee while we waited for our drinks. I asked my daughter if she thought the Cinnamoroll with a pink hat was available in association with the Alice in Wonderland bottles. She didn't think so. She thought the Sanrio plushies, even the Melody in her cute dress, are part of the spring Sakura collection. Any time I suffer a leg cramp, my husband tells me that I should have a banana. I like my banana in a smoothie. The Malibu is described as being a blended strawberry, banana, and blueberry smoothie with strawberry and blueberry bits. I would not say they are blueberry bits. There are actual plump blueberries and strawberry chunks. Daughter likes the Tropical Storm, but wanted the coconut jelly in the pink frost. She prefers the strawberry lemonade to the strawberry hibiscus lemonade. She couldn't really taste the rose syrup in the rose lemonade. read more

Roasting Waters used to be really good--back before COVID, it was one of those spots you'd go out of your way for. But honestly, it's gone downhill since then, and now it just feels like you're paying for the souvenir cup, not the drink. The drinks themselves are nothing special anymore. They're usually about 70% ice and maybe 30% actual drink, even if you ask for light ice. The flavors are watered down, not well-balanced, and definitely not worth the hype or the price. Speaking of price, it's super overpriced--you're paying a premium for a drink that's under 16oz, and the quality doesn't justify it. Service is whatever--not rude, but also not anything memorable. At this point, it really just feels like a place people go for the aesthetic cups, not for the drink experience. If you're looking for quality boba or specialty drinks, there are way better options nearby. --Roasting Waters just doesn't live up to what it used to be. read more

I normally go to the one in Long Beach. But I came here once while in the area and the drinks, of course are always so delicious and good of course they are very sugary but so good. And they have the most cutest cups ever that you can keep forever, especially the glass ones. The service is always fast and they always have the most cutest shops ever inside. You can find it filled with so much cute knickknacks. Also if you love anime, you would love it here. read more

Called to order ahead at 8:37pm, the worker (a guy) answered and then hung up on me. I arrived at 8:53pm and the place is already closed (supposed to close at 9:00pm). Drove all this way for nothing. Unprofessional employee whoever worked the Sunday closing shift 9/21. At least be honest over the phone and let me know you'll be closing early. He answered and then pretended like he couldnt hear me anymore when I tried to place an order. read more

Roasting Water - Island Coffee (TikTok: @justandyvu) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Westminster, California

If you're looking to get a new reusable water bottle, Roasting Water is the place to go. Lots of parking for easy access, everything is super cute, and if you follow them on IG, you might even find cute seasonal designs for your bottles. The menu has a good variety to choose from and isn't overly complicated. My favorite thing about toppings here is that the first scoop of boba is free, so most of the time I'm not paying extra. The downside is that some drinks aren't as customizable, such as the amount of sugar you can put in. I chose a regular oolong milk tea with cream and since I couldn't lower the sugar levels, it was a bit too sweet for my taste. Still the place is super cute, the employees are very friendly, and you might be able to find cute merch to bring home as well read more

Cute little shop filled with the cutest trinkets and mugs. The drinks are pretty tasty and simple- my go to is the Peach Tea made with black tea (sometimes they have white tea but that could be at other locations!) and boba. The staff is pretty kind and work efficiently- my drink was ready in under 5 minutes! There's plenty of things to look at and check out while waiting for your drink, I noticed plenty of mugs, plushies, anime figurines, and plenty of Studio Ghibli merch! read more

#ThankYouThursday Man... the drinks are getting pricey here at Roasting Water! But, it's kind of pricey everywhere I go these days... so maybe it's justified because you get a pretty bottle. I rarely come to Roasting Water these days. I used to collect their bottles, but I ended up with so many bottles that I stopped coming. Drinks here are really good, but for the price, I usually pass. I get it though, the bottles costs more than a regular cup, but I don't usually want to pay a premium when I'm just looking for a good drink. This is such a cute store with so many things to buy and add to you home. I know that my high school self would have loved this boba shop because I would buy all the plushies and goodies here. If you're a fan of trendy and cute characters and you like boba drinks, this is the place for you! Their drink menu is extensive and they taste great! My favorites are: Jack and Jill, Strawberry Blonde, RW Coffee, all of their lemonades, and Green Milk Tea. read more

Unfortunately, they NO LONGER do the bottles ): I'm so bummed since that's the specific reason why I came in today (after years of not coming). Came in, still very cutesy inside with anime and character decors! No one greeted, it was a bit awkward. I did ask if they still do the bottle and said no. I asked if there's anything they suggest I should get but they weren't too convincing nor I believe that they believe on what they have to offer lol. I ended up getting Jasmine Milk Tea. Boba was soft but not as sweet so it was just okay for me. Overall taste and visit was fine. Might be my last visit here. read more

I have been wanted to try this place for years and finally got a chance! This place is known for serving their drinks in super cute reusable bottles. I got the sea salt jasmine and my boyfriend got the lots of lychee drink. They were both delicious! The sea salt jasmine was super creamy and the boba was perfect. The lychee drink was super refreshing. I was bummed because I missed the sanrio bottle but the worker was super nice and offered me a pin. Really appreciate him for doing that read more

Found this little spot in Westminster and it was pretty good. Each drink comes with its own reusable decorative cup which is pretty cool. Prices are a bit elevated but probably because it comes with a cup. I got the strawberry milky latte with oat milk and flavor wise it was solid. 25 percent sweetness still was a good amount of sweet. Overall an enjoyable place to get drinks. Boba is included if you like that. read more

My first time here and I instantly fell in love with all the adorable decor and plushies! I ordered the RW Coffee--it's on the sweeter side, but still has a nice strong coffee flavor, so it strikes a good balance. My friend recommended the Cafe Sua Da, so I'll definitely be trying that next time. They also give you a free gift if you spend a certain amount, which is a fun bonus. The staff was super friendly and polite--great vibes all around! read more

Attempted to go to another Roasting Water location, but that one was closed down for some reason. So here I am at this location, needing some refreshment before heading down to SD. This is a cute boba restaurant with merch throughout. They have a variety of boba drinks that come in cute portable plastic containers. The only issue is that these containers are narrow, so you can't put any ice in it. I mean, you can, but only a little ice since the vessel is narrow. I attempted to order the guava iced tea, but they are out of guava. Instead, I opted for the Lychee tea with Lychee bits and boba. The boba was soft and fresh, and tea was tasty enough. They have a good enough selection. read more

We were shopping nearby in Little Saigon and found this boba shop via Yelp. First off, the shop itself is very small so there are no chairs or tables. Just an order and go type of boba spot. Loved the variety of milk teas, smoothies, lattes, and fresh tea brews. All drinks are made to order -- none of that powder stuff. And, all the drinks come in a complimentary cute plastic cup for patrons to take home. My girls ordered an Avocado smoothie of some sort and a Strawberry Coconut smoothie. I chose the "LOL" which is short for Lots of Lychee. Our drinks were prepared with good quality tea and the toppings were fresh. The young man who took our order was professional and efficient. No complaints from any angle. Would recommend to all near and far. Support local y'all! read more
