I should have went with my usual jasmine tea with lychee boba. This time around I decided to be more adventurous and went for the peach tea with Aygi (spelling?) jelly and kiwi because the picture looked so damn refreshing. And I even asked for no sugar in anticipation of the jelly and the kiwi fruit being sweet. Refreshing it was not. Reminded me of those syrupy dole fruit cups served with elementary school lunches, posing as a healthy snack. Lesson learned. read more

Sharetea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Went to their friends and family event yesterday and it was quite crowded! I ordered the classic pearl green milk tea (30% sweet), a strawberry tea with aloe (0% sweet) and the coffee ice blended with ice cream. They were very friendly and answered all my questions! They have quite an expansive menu! The milk tea was delicious and their boba was great! Not too soft or hard, perfectly chewy. The tea drink was refreshing but not overly sweet and the aloe was a nice add on. The coffee drink had a good flavor but wasn't well blended. There were lots of ice chips and my boyfriend gave up trying to drink it. The scoop of ice cream on top was yummy though! Only complaints would be the wait (over an hour!) and the blended drink needs to be smoother and have a better consistency. I am sure the wait won't be as bad once they officially open though! read more

Sharetea has been popping up in lots of places around the OC. It's consistently good and they always have some new drinks that are featured. Since I'm a milk tea with boba fan, I always get some variation of it whether oolong tea, black tea or anything with milk and boba. When in doubt, get a nice milk tea and make sure to add boba for that texture. You can ask for your drinks with less ice or adjust sweetness level. The Ginger milk tea was really tasty and it was my first time having it here. There's a little zest from the ginger which goes great with the silky smoothness of the milk added to it. Definitely recommended! read more

ShareTea the best, this was honestly the first place that made me fall in love with Boba and other fruit teas as well. The customer service at this location is fantastic, the owner of this location, she is super kind. It's always quick, and the flavors are always awesome. Not much else to say! Definitely come here whenever I'm in the area, or when I'm in RSM, I go to that location as well. read more

Sharetea is in my top five boba shops to visit. Staff are super nice and helpful. I've attached a photo of my two faves. They are so good! My favorite of the two is 'Magic potion' which has a hint of sweet mint. It's glorious. Don't get me wrong though 'Forbidden love' is bomb too! So I say just buy both if you're as indecisive as I am read more

Let's start with the staff is great and the interior is well designed. The tea I ordered, I cannot say I enjoyed it at all-- mango green milk tea is a yuck for me. They had so many options, so maybe I picked the wrong thing to try and I will give it another shot soon. read more

Order was done fast and correct. read more

I ordered the QQ Happy Family milk tea with less ice today. But what I received was a cup half full with ice. I've been coming here several times, so figured it was a mistake. But when I asked for it to get fixed, the guy there said, "less ice is half ice." Really???? I've been here so many times and that's never happened. Not even at the Irvine location. When I said to still fix it, he kept giving me reasons that there's no point to, so I left not wanting to waste my time. Kind of disappointing. If you look at someone else's picture from 4 days ago with less ice ordered, it doesn't look like the one here. Same drink too. Update: why ask customers for the ice level if they insist it doesn't change the quality and they don't honor the request? Reading Nicole's comment, I know how the drinks are made... however I did not ask for a drink filled half with ice. Again, never had this issue before...all you had to do was take ownership and acknowledge it was a mistake and train the team to produce consistent drinks. 1. Not everyone drinks their beverages fast (ice is obviously going to melt), so the claim from the manager that the quality wasn't affected is not true. Some customers get less ice to mitigate the chance of dealing with over-diluted drinks. With teas, it's not tasty. Which DID happen. I even bought a 2nd drink that day for a friend, and he mentioned the same thing. By the time I gave it to him, it was watered down. 2. Nicole's comment about quality of service... I think your team could've just fixed it by putting in less ice. I asked for it, but did not get any. That wasn't good service. It even says 'less ice' on the receipt. I'd hate to see what "normal" ice level looks like... 3. Taking ownership and acknowledge the mistake. I think that would've been enough to change my mind but the response was disappointing. I'll just stick with the Irvine location, which is always consistent and surprisingly lower in price. read more

Sharetea - I ordered the QQ Happy Family milk tea with less ice. This is NOT less ice. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Response to Nicole- Thanks for replying to my review, but it doesn't matter if you agree with my rating/review of your business.This is MY review and not yours. Quality of tea is masked by the amount of sugar used in your drinks. Every time I've gone in, your employee tell me to do 50% sweet because the drinks at 100% is too sweet. In my experience it was definitely not a 5/5 cleanliness. As for the mojito you can always make adjustments, you can't tell me you cant calculate for a higher drink volume to give a better portion for the price that is being charged. As a fellow business owner, take this as constructive criticism and better the situation instead of trying to counter my review based on your OWN opinion. read more

I like this franchise. They are really good at making their drinks. I went tonight and I usually get less ice but there was so much ice in my drink! I come to this location maybe once per month and this is the only time my order was kinda wrong. But if I'm paying over $5 for a drink I'd want it right I guess. Everything else about here is great. You should totally try it. read more

Sharetea - "Less ice" - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Waited 50 minutes for my two drinks. When I walked in at 11:20, there was one lady waiting. I heard her ask the worker if her order will be ready by 11:40. I asked the lady (after I already placed an order) if she's been waiting for a long time, and she said she had a large order. Apparently she came in when the store opened at 11 (heard the worker tell the other worker), but she had emailed the manager ahead of time. She was picking up 18 drinks. Well, that lady didn't get her order till 11:50, and I didn't get my 2 drinks till 12:10. The manager should have had the second staff come in earlier to help the poor guy that was working there by himself. The customers walking in later were told that there's a 20-30 minute wait. Who wants to wait that long for boba? read more

So happy there is finally a good Boba place in Lake Forest. Just recently discovered this thru IG ads and finally got to check it out 2 weeks ago. Apparently this place is popular among the teens. I ordered their Taro blended boba which already comes with pudding and it was good. You can also have the option to adjust the sweetness and ice to your preference i.e 50%, 25 % etc. The only thing was they gave me the wrong drink. The cashier mistook Taro for strawberry blended, a common problem with wearing masks, but they rectified it right away. They also gave me a Share card which i had stamped on next visit. I came back again after a week to try the strawberry blended with ice cream and it was also good. Will definitely come back to try their other best sellers. read more

Sharetea - Loyalty card - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

They are topping off drinks with water when you ask for less or half ice... I ordered brewed tea not water, some people actually like the taste of strong tea vs. watered down "tea". As far as I can tell, this is what I would call "shady business practices"... used to like this place but I'm good on it now after seeing this happen to my drink. You don't have to be shady to save a buck... that's just wrong, and the Tea here is already on the higher end of the price scale vs. the surrounding competition. read more

We come to this store many times. It's my first time to have issue with the service. We came in the first of the batch crowd on a Saturday. The ordering kiosk I used was stuck midway through the order. As other guests behind me used the other machine to order one by one, I still patiently waited until one staff was freed up to tell her the machine was non responsive. She told me she can take my order directly but give her a few minutes to wrap up works at hand. I patiently waited another 5-7 min until she finally came back to me. After the order was in, I mentioned shouldn't our order go first as we first came and were stuck by the machine for a long time. She responded she'll fix that for me. We've waited and waited, and nearly everyone coming in after us got the drinks while we were still waiting. I finally walked up to the counter and ask didn't she say she'll address our order first. She simply apologized and told me we will work on your order now. That's another wait until we finally got our orders. Granted, the staff kept polite attitude. But it should almost be a common sense to address a belated order for your customer due to your equipment malfunction. An unforeseen delay is okay. But lack of proper service training made this experience terrible. read more

Too much powder added to their drink. Plus the boba is not well cooked ( very tough and chewy). Staff (one person) is overworked and not in a happy mood to customer. Will not be coming back. read more

Don't bother. Lacks the earthly favor of what makes Oolong unique. This is after they remade it, I asked for maybe more tea and less creamer ... They won't add more tea and in the end, still sucks. Onto the next one. Update 8/27 Please do not reply and make false comments. I never scold at your employee as a matter of fact, your employee spoke in a low voice while the music was playing and blenders going on in the background. And let's not forget that both parties were wearing their masks Also, if you're following headquarters guidelines, I am sure headquarters will be fine with you giving me more of the tea and less creamer. read more

I had a great experience at this location. It was my 1st time here and it did not disappoint. I have never been to a ShareTea before and was pleasantly surprise with the many options of drink. They had milk-teas, smoothies, and even mojitos. The mojitos are virgin, they just make it have a mojito "flavoring." One of my favorite things about this place is that they have milk alternatives. I have lactose intolerance and I am so glad that I can get almond/soy milk in my boba instead of suffering from a post-boba stomach-ache. I ordered a Wintermelon Milk Tea with boba, herb jelly, and almond milk. I got light ice and 30% sweetness. It was one of the best Wintermelon drink that I have tasted, and I will go back for sure! The service was friendly and they had great COVID-19 precautions. They had the glass and only allowing 5 people inside at once. After ordering the drink, you have to wait outside to wait for your number to be called. If you do not like that, just order online for pick-up. read more

So first and foremost I want to say that Im soooo glad we finally have a good boba place in this area! I no longer have to drive 10+ miles out of the way to get some good boba tea! I came around 12:40 pm-ish and was lucky that there were only a couple people in line ahead of me. There were also a few people waiting for drinks. The woman that took my order gave me great service and was very nice: she repeated my order and also asked if I had a stamp card yet. She promptly gave me one when i told her i hadn't yet and double stamped it b/c of their promotion. From the time my order was taken to the time i received it was probably about 10 min or so. This is a little longer than average wait time but understandable b/c they are in a "soft opening phase" and are still trying to streamline everything so I didn't mind at all. My order consisted of: Mango Passion, 80% sweet, light ice, boba Fresh Milk Tea (oolong), 50% sweet, light ice Matcha Red Bean Milk Tea, 30% sweet Everything came out REALLY good and the boba was fresh (and was a generous scoop). Even my picky grandma LOVED her matcha drink lol I would say the standard sweetness for the drinks is pretty sweet (like most boba places) so take that into account too. I might try the 50% sweet for my drink next time. I would definitely recommend coming here if you haven't tried a Sharetea before! the taste is pretty consistent with their other locations (LB and Costa Mesa). I will definitely be coming here frequently from now on! :) Side note: I asked if they were considering online ordering in the future. They said they're eventually going to do it but not considering it until after their soft opening and until they get everything situated! I think a lot of people were asking about this. It would be nice to just be able to order+pay online and just pick up at the "pick up" area if you're in a hurry to just get in and get out. read more

Went here for the first time today, not only does it stay open late, til 9, the store is clean, staff is friendly, oh and the drinks aren't too bad either. My go to drink is a milk Jasmine Green Tea. They didn't have this but they recommended a jasmine tea and adding almond milk to it. It was so good, the amount of boba was nice too, definitely more than what I'm used to at some places. I took a picture before I shook it because it looked so cool we will definitely be back, I'm excited to try other things besides my go to! read more

Even though this is the closest place for me to get boba, it's definitely one of my least favorite. I'm bummed because the staff is really friendly but the tea is really not that great, imo. The classic boba is pretty weak and i do not like the texture of the pearls. Please note, I am not a boba tea expert, but I do know this is not something I'd go back for. They do have lots of menu items to choose from, so maybe you can find something you like. read more

Sharetea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I'm excited that a ShareTea is closer to me and I don't have to drive to irvine or Costa Mesa anymore. The only thing is be prepared to wait over an hour if you're considering coming any time soon. They're still doing a soft opening to make adjustments. Let's hope they learn to make their drinks faster soon. The drinks tend to be on the sweeter side so I'd recommend adjusting it to less sweet. The Okinawa Pearl drink is my go-to. It's located between Panda Express and Wahoos. read more

Wow! This place was super busy today, but they did a very good job of pumping out their teas/bobas. I wanted to give a shout out to the staff as this lady had erroneously place an order for a drink online and was demanding to cut in front of everyone to get Boba added to her drink. The staff was professional and asked she wait in line to add in the Boba like everyone else as the order was made to ticket (I know how these work-it was 100% her fault). Just wanted to shoot a positive review to get ahead of that horrid woman's inevitable Karen-esque rampage. The passion, mango, grapefruit is refreshing. Got it with half sweetness, light ice. Was perfect for the hot day! My girl got the winter melon, she enjoyed hers as well. Appreciate the staff working 5/15/22! Dueces yelp! read more

Finally a boba place in lake forest! Wow couldn't be happier. The boba itself is so soft and chewy and perfect. They have a decent amount of options for the drink portion.

This place is located across from the El Toro library, even though there is a fence in the way there. My friend liked the Sharetea concentrate that one could buy from 99 Ranch so she wanted to try a physical location to see if it was any different. We decided to get some and she said it was good, though she didn't like the flavor I ordered when we shared some of it. I had no issue with the flavor so maybe it was just our differing taste buds for the flavors we ordered. There was no line at the time so we could decide at our leisure and it didn't take long to come out. They had a tiny discount if one paid with cash, so I gave them cash. Based on a quick calculation this amount is approximately the same as a transaction fee. At the time they had a buy one get one free on some flavors so we took advantage of that. There are PokéStops in the library so one can collect items but they don't seem close enough to sit in the building to utilize for lures. read more

It was a warm day yesterday and I need a refreshing drink. I went and try this new boba place and ordered lime mojito with 30% sugar. It hit the spot. I loved it. The tartness is just right. The female cashier was patient and friendly eventhough there was a line behind me. The two employees at the back were super busy making the orders ( they were able to keep up with the orders). Since this is new, they will learn to adjust but I do hope they will add one more employee at the back and one more blender to keep up with the demand. Those employees were really really trying their best. Kudos to them. Yes, I will go back and try their other drinks. read more

I've been holding onto a Sharetea loyalty card that I've had at this location, ENTIRELY filled out and only needing redemption for a Free drink. You know, the paper card that they use to reward repeated customers for their patronage? Unfortunately, today I learned that they've transferred to a digital loyalty program using a Clover app. Perfectly normal, same thing happened at another establishment who still honored my card by swapping my incomplete card for a free drink (which was extra generous because I only had a few stamps on that one). But at this Sharetea, the employee said they wouldn't accept the card. A card that was already filled out 100% from purchasing 10 drinks! What a poor way of thanking me for my repeated business. read more

I come to this location to get boba pretty often because it's the closest place to my house but every time I order here they don't get order right. I always ask for 30% sweet and less ice and what do you think I get every time 100% sweet and as much ice as they can jam in the cup. It even happens when I order from a delivery app. It seems like they just make the tea the same all the time. There has even been a time where we ordered a black milk tea and it came with no tea. It was just straight milk. I will never be back here again because it seems like you guys just don't care. read more
