Cute Bottling
Ter L.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

This place can get too busy on the weekend! But lucky the one worker I saw working (there must have been another in the back) really was taking it all in stride. They created a welcome atmosphere and when I drinks came out they were very good! I would definitely come again when they are less busy to try other drinks their lava drink was so goodddd!

Strawberry hibiscus lemonade, strawberry lemonade, Malibu smoothie, and rose lemonade
Belinda L.

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.

smores coffee and strawberry matcha
Ashlynh D.

Such a cute little boba shop! I loved all the merch and decor and the cute plastic bottles the drinks come in. The coffee was sooo good! Perfect sweet while still having that strong coffee flavor. The strawberry march was also very good, not too milky like most places. They were not busy when i came in and it too about 8-10 minutes for 4 drinks

Taro coffee blended smoothie with boba added.  Yums
Tony B.

Cute little store with a few seats. Lots of drinks on the venue from teas, bobas, fruit smoothies, espresso coffee drinks with icecream. Nice service. I got a coffee taro boba while I was here. Clean spot with cool little toys and cute Togo cups. We had an altercation with a racist idiot muscle bound Douchebag while we were there but fortunately he left. Thanks again friends.

We stopped by to grab something to drink because we were in the area and this place turned out to be really good. The employee who attended us was friendly and he got our drinks done quickly. Our drinks were tasty, my coffee is not pure sugar (it's actually waking me up) so that's always a plus hahaha.

thai tea with boba
Sabrina B.

Love roasting waters they have good boba and i always get their thai tea with boba. I love how they give you reusable cups especially glass ones sometimes, it's super cute in the store and great customer service. They also have little nicknacks you can buy.

Ask the Community - Roasting Water

What are their hours?? They're definitely not open at 7:30am & no one answers their phone

They opened at 9 am today.

Is it possible to just buy the bottle?

You can always call and ask!! GLASS bottle is my favorite

Does any one know how many oz are in their regular glass bottles they always give with any drink?

The standard glass bottles are 500ml/16.9 oz.

Hi, I was there last night and ordered a milk tea. Would it be safe for me to reuse the cool bottle for hot tea at home? I know the tea won't stay warm but just wondering if the plastic was safe for hot fluids?

Not a good idea to reuse any plastic bottles for hot liquid.

Is this place good for study groups? Is the interior spacious and have outlets?

No. There's no space at this location. You'll have to go to the fountain valley one or Huntington beach.

On the menu Pom Pom is an add on ...What are Pom Poms?

Does anybody know how many ounces their plastic hard reusable water bottles are? Thanks!

20 oz

Are the bottles reusable? For example, can you bring them back in and they can reuse them for your next drink

I have asked and been told that they cannot do this. Maybe some locations will and others won't?

Does anyone know what type of plastic the bottles are made of? BPA free? I am reusing the bottles for water, so wanted to know. Thnx!

I just asked one of the servers right now and he said it's BPA free :)

The coffee house is in a larger plaza with lots of breakfast spots, so its PACKED. But, it makes sense because this place is so popular. Going in, I had no idea what to expect, but this place exceeded any expectations I could've had. The line area was organized and separated from the seating area, the line moved very fast, and the workers were so friendly! They had a large variety of drink and food options, but I ended up getting a hot Spanish latte and a banana muffin. They give you buzzers here which make the waiting process a whole lot less stressful. My drink and food came out quick, but while I was waiting I noticed that thing place has a variety of seating, from couch chairs, to group tables, to low seating outdoors. Everything feels nice and organized and there's so much attention to detail. Keep in mind it is very noisy here from how many people just sit down to hang out, and there's also a bar, which I think they serve matcha at? Now for my food, I got my banana muffin warmed. It's soft, fluffy, packs a lot of banana flavor, and most of all, I could tell it was baked fresh! This isn't one of those cafes that serves mediocre pastries, but will give you a hearty baked good to compliment your drink! My Spanish latte was perfectly hot, with the right touch of milk and spices. Surprisingly, it had a good amount of espresso, but not too much to be overpowering. Overall, my experience here was amazing and I would love to come back to try more of their baked goods! I alsoo really liked their lids, which come with a flippable stopper to keep your drink hot.

I'm not sure if it's due to the milk they use or syrup, but it overpowers the tea flavor. I don't taste any tea itself. I've had other osmanthus milk tea or oolong milk tea and they were much better. Unfortunately, this drink is quite mid. I wouldn't recommend it. I think the drink would taste a lot better if they reduce the amount of sweetness or milk since their ice and sugar levels are fixed.

Their Vietnamese coffee is quite strong and bitter, which I personally enjoy. It is a bit sweet, but that's pretty typical of Vietnamese coffee. What really sets Viland apart from other nearby coffee and tea shops is their matcha tofu drink! I typically only enjoy tofu in dessert form, like in Vietnamese desserts, so this drink was right up my alley. The matcha itself is good, although it isn't the best matcha I've had. The real star of the show is the tofu. It's incredibly silky and sweet, pairing nicely with the matcha and giving the drink a unique texture. I also noticed that their crowd ranges from younger customers to older Vietnamese patrons, which speaks to its broad appeal. With so many competing coffee shops nearby, Viland is definitely worth checking out, especially if you're curious about their unique matcha tofu drink.
