    I was craving for a brown sugar boba milk drink and found Rooster Tea on Yelp while in the area. Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon - it was pretty empty inside with only one person ahead in line. Drinks were quickly delivered upon ordering (~3 minutes). 17 oz Tiger Sweet Milk Boba ($5.45): I asked to adjust sweetness level and was told they could include less brown sugar around the perimeter of the drink. The drink ended up still being incredibly sweet and some of the boba was tender while others had a bit of a hard center. Very disappointing. 17 oz Taro Slush ($5.15): All powder only with no fresh taro, drink was very watered down with just a hint of taro flavor. Overall, not a tea shop I would visit again as the ingredients did not seem as fresh as other boba shops.

    My cousins and I decided to go to a boba tea shop after going to afternoon tea. I don't care what you think, it's different. I opted for the Hokkaido Milk tea with egg pudding and whole milk, less sweet because the pudding is sweet. My drink came out in a few minutes and it was good. The sweetness was still a bit sweet but I liked it. It's interesting that they use non-dairy for their drinks and charge extra for cow's milk. Glad to see they have the option I guess. I can see how parking in this tiny lot can get crazy but we went when there was a lull in activity on a Sunday afternoon. Service was good and they had some spots to sit which we took advantage of.

    Mango Hibiscus Tea with boba

    Went on a Sunday evening around 5 and it wasn't busy! Worker was pretty helpful and drinks came out quick! I got the mango hibiscus tea with honey boba. I like that they have this flavor because I've never seen it anywhere else! It was a good even mix of fresh mango flavor/juice and hibiscus tea. The hibiscus part was a little too sweet so I'd get lower sweetness if that was an option next time. The honey boba was pretty fresh and chewy. I tried a sip of their peach tea too and I liked it because the tea flavor balanced out the sweetness better. Would come back and get the same or try something different!

    Great service, super friendly staff! The drink was pretty good too, would definitely stop by and try something else if I'm in the area! I had to stop by for my "30 before 30" challenge to go to 30 animal themed tea/boba places before i turn 30, because look at that rooster!

    I happened to be in the area today and decided to try out this location. I ordered the mango hibiscus drink and was really impressed. It tasted fresh, fruity, and refreshing, with small chunks of mango that added a nice touch. The boba was perfectly chewy, just the way I like it! The staff was friendly and helpful, and the overall vibe of the shop was cozy and welcoming. They also have the lunar new year decorations up which make the shop even more festive.

    Whenever I step into this store, it always reminds me of the beach! I love how chewy their boba is here and the drinks are always consistently made. I love their exclusive flavors too, back when they had blueberry matcha!! The mango matcha is always my go to. The matcha isn't the best, but it's pretty good as a tea drink and the fruits taste fresh! The drinks were made quickly and the servers were friendly. I love how this place has outlets near the seats and lovely decor!

    Dropped by with some friends & our kids all ordered their slushy boba. :) Lots of flavors to choose from with very friendly service!

    I absolutely love Rooster! It is one of the best places to go, especially in the summer because their drinks are so refreshing! They have an extremely wide selection of different types and flavors of drinks so there is something for everyone! All the staff at Rooster are incredibly kind and thoughtful! They will let you try the different toppings and teas and they are more than happy to help you figure out what you want. Rooster Tea is a great place to hang out with friends because it is very well decorated and has an inviting bright and colorful ambiance. It is also always outstandingly clean and a great quick stop because it never takes more than five minutes to get your drink!

    This place is in a quiet little shopping center. The inside was clean and decorated nicely. I like that there was cool art on the wall to take a photo with. I got the Jazmine milk tea less sweet with boba and enjoyed it. My friend also enjoyed their drink. I can't complain.

    Flavor is decent but half sweet was still a bit sweet for the mango matcha latte. The texture of mango bits was a bit odd but the boba was chewy and perfect for the afternoon. The matcha slush was good with no adjustments.

We stumbled into Elixir Tea Bar & Ice Cream and ended up staying way longer than planned (in the best way). The entire space feels like stepping into a magical world, think Harry Potter meets Game of Thrones, with incredible attention to detail. Every corner has something to discover, and yes... there are chess boards on every table, which instantly sets the tone. What really made the visit unforgettable was the owner, Cire. He personally served us, sat and talked chess, and made us feel like we weren't just customers, we were guests in his world. That kind of hospitality is rare. Since my friends were visiting from out of town, he even gave us a behind the scenes tour, including a peek into a hidden, members only room tucked behind a secret bookcase door (yes, it's as cool as it sounds). It honestly felt like we unlocked a level in a game. The drinks and treats were great, but the vibe? Next level. It's whimsical, cozy, immersive, and just... special. This isn't just a place you go, it's a place you experience. Already planning my next visit.

LOCATION: Can be a little sketchy with solicitors outside near the stair entrance. I had a little trouble finding where it was, but it was up the stairs all the way at the end. Boba and food, I hear, can be hit or miss. I got lucky that my drink was good. Cups were all a little sticky, but that's expected from the magic spell, balance a bubble on your wand and put it on your cup paid experience. Water comes out in various colors, and oddly doesn't taste cold even with ice. (Idk if cold is taste but I had the same experience with the water brand black water) Puzzles and group activities everywhere. Come in a character or be a regular civilian, all employees are in character the whole time! Restroom. There's one non vip room restroom that is super decorated. There's even a waiting area with lots to look at. Super awesome place with lots of love and thought put into great ideas. Definitely a must try at least once place, if you don't get overstimulated easily.

This place opened in 2022 and is a Franchise from Taiwan, it is family owned. I was served by the most genuine people, "Tom and Sue". What makes this place SPECIAL? It really is a GO-To NOW spot and I would try their Taro Milk Tea to start; it is actual fresh taro and you taste the ground Taro which is absolutely fresh, tasty and unbelievably delicious!!! If the Taro Milk your looking for is more of a drink, this has more of a creamy base because it is actual ground taro root. Upon tasting it I was like, "mmmmmmmm!" No kidding it is not powder based but fresh!!!! Next, they also have Mango Green Tea and it too is tasty, clean and fresh. They accommodate to your personal taste whether on sweetness, ice preference, toppings and milk base. We got their Mango Machiatto with Mango popping pearls and no cheese foam (we're lactose intolerant). Food wise, you have got to try their Popcorn Chicken! It is so deliciously tasty and crisp, there's no way you will not get addicted. I drive to Dos Lagos near Corona, just to find this kind of crispy and tasty Popcorn Chicken, it is the Best Popcorn Chicken in OC. They are open late weekdays until 9pm. I came almost 9pm and they made me 3 popcorn chickens and 2 milk teas and that would have passed their closing time, but they were so kind as I told them my daughter just got out of ballet 8:30pm. This will be our new home for late night popcorn chicken and boba tea that's close by her ballet studio. They also take cash! No payment discrimination!!! Come and leave them a review so they can stay!!!

The whole shop has a fresh cream-green color palette, soft lighting, and such a photogenic vibe. The "JAM FOR A GOOD TIME" wall adds a fun touch, and sitting down with a drink here really feels like a relaxing weekend moment. This time, I ordered several drinks at once. Every cup looked pretty and had its own memorable flavor: Coconut Mango Pomelo The mango flavor is rich, the coconut is smooth, and it gives off that refreshing tropical fruit vibe, almost like mango pomelo sago. Sweet, creamy, and perfect for summer. Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea The brown sugar aroma is strong, the boba is soft and chewy, and the milk tea base is very smooth. It's a classic, comforting drink that you really can't go wrong with. Rose Cream Coconut Jasmine This one is a new drink! The rose fragrance is gentle and not overpowering at all. Paired with coconut and a jasmine tea base, it has layers of floral aroma, tea fragrance, and a light creamy topping. It tastes refreshing, looks beautiful, and is definitely a drink girls would love. Oreo Cream Boba Fresh Milk The crushed Oreo and fresh milk blend together so well. The texture is rich, almost like drinking a dessert-style milk tea. Sweet, creamy, and super satisfying. Green Grapes Smash The green grape flavor is very refreshing, with a bright fruity aroma and just the right balance of sweet and tangy.

My friend got the Green Grape Smash and said it was really good. I took a sip too, and for someone who usually doesn't like grape-flavored things, it was surprisingly refreshing. It tasted light, fresh, and not overly artificial like a lot of grape drinks can be.
