    Chicken Jujutsu Rice Bowl
    Tim W.

    I ordered delivery and got The popcorn chicken bowl with corn and furikake rice - which was good and liked that. I did not care for the 32 oz matcha strawberry. It was so bland towards the second half. I loved loved the chamango and wished that's the one I got the 32 oz instead of the 20. I would order from here again.

    Got here and there was no one but the people working wouldn't take our order, and we would make eye contact and it was so awkward lol. But we ordered and everything was okay, the area was nice. There were people there, sitting outside. They do have seats inside and outside, we didn't stay but I ordered my go to. Love Tastea in general.

    Adorable sign!

    Stopped in for a treat after dinner and had a great experience at Tastea in Costa Mesa! I ordered the Tiger Milk Tea (medium sweet), and my partner went with a Strawberry Tea with honey boba (full sweet). I decided to try something new this time, and while it wasn't my favorite, it was a good tea. Next time, I've got my eye on the Coconut Blueberry Smoothie - it looked amazing, but I didn't see the sign until after I ordered! They also have a few food options on the menu, and I'm definitely going to try the ranch flavor fries on my next visit. Service was quick, and there was plenty of staff on hand, which kept the line moving. I also appreciate that they're open late and have both indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for a late-night hangout or grabbing a tea before your class at Orange Coast College. Overall, solid tea spot.

    Oh my god! So in love with the drinks they gave me, my boyfriend and my friend. Want to give a shout out to Jun for being a great barista!

    Left: Thai Milk Tea Right: Horchata Crunch
    Joycelyn C.

    Tastea shops are usually designed the same with a half wood wall and seats but it still cute place for people to have a seat and drink their boba. The staff were nice and really quick to make our drinks. We ordered a Thai milk tea and horchata crunch. I absolutely LOVE horchata crunch and go back for this particular drink. It usually has a smoothie like texture of horchata with Cinnamon Toast Crunch as a topping. I did rate it lower because the consistency was more watered down but still enjoyed it!

    Lychee Freeze
    Betty C.

    Uhhh YUMMYYYY!!! I got the lychee freeze, (my go to) and it did not disappoint. It came with lychee jelly and I added boba. It was everything I wanted and more lol. There was no shortage of jelly and boba too. You do have to order yourself on the kiosk.

    Karage Karate Chicken and their Weak Sauce - Honeydew with Boba
    Mitchell N.

    One of our favorite spots for boba - simply because of the Honeydew option. So good and very few places have it currently and this is our now go to spot each time! Great flavor and price for a good amount! The chicken has great flavor and definitely recommend adding some heat to it! Thank you - please keep honeydew!

    Mango All The Way
    Britney M.

    Was craving some boba! Did a search on Yelp and the rest is history. Tastea popped up with lots of boba drink options. I ordered the Mango all the way with boba. I enjoyed it. It was fruity and delicious. The boba was chewy and yummy. My partner ordered the tiger milk tea with boba. He didn't like his. I tried a sip of it and it tasted kind of bland/ boring. Maybe it needed something else added? Tiger milk tea with boba 7/10 Mango all the way with boba 10/10

    Ordered some popcorn chicken and had it delivered to work. This piece was so big it didn't fully cook. This is ridiculous! Do a quality check before you send the food out.

    Mango Milk Tea & Strawberry Milk Tea
    Archie S.

    Love the different varieties of milk tea they have here. Mango Milk Tea and Strawberry Milk Tea were the drinks that stood out to me. Here the Strawberry milk tea actually has tea in it as in some places it's just strawberry milk from what I have tasted. The boba here were fresh and chewy and even my nephew gave it a thumbs up. If you're craving some snack as well they serve chicken and fries and some other items as well. They have nice inside seating area that is air conditioned well specially for a hot day. Both the Mango and Strawberry Milk Tea tastes great. I had my tea at 75% sweetness and it felt like just the right amount of sweet. Staff was friendly and attentive which is a great thing these days. Definitely recommend and honestly the drinks were much better than I expected.

    1. The drinks were refreshing and made well! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes with few seatings! 3. The staff were friendly and timely with our drinks! Took about 5-10 mins for four drinks! Note: You can adjust sweetness level! Photo: Winter Melon Milk Tea, Jasmine Green Tea, Strawberry Ecsteasy Tea, Peach Me Sweetea

    Peach Me Sweetea
    Czarina D.

    Solid service! Solid drinks! Came here on a Sunday morning and had a pleasant experience! The server who helped us was nice and quick. Our drink was ready right away! We had the Peach Me Sweetea at half sweet. It was super refreshing and had a nice flavor! Glad we went for a lower sugar level because it was pretty sweet as is. I can totally imagine myself craving this drink in the summer. I'd definitely go back!

    Are the fried shrimp gluten free?

    Which Creamer has the least amount of calories? Non-dairy, oat milk, whole milk, etc..I am always looking for ways to reduce the calories in my milk teas. Does the non-dairy creamer already have sugar in it?

    Hi Sinette, thanks for your inquiry. Our almond milk would have the least amount of calories. Yes, our non-dairy creamer does have some added sugars as well. We hope this helps! :)

    Anything vegan? Can the matcha milk tea be vegan? Is the boba vegan?

    Hi Magaly, yes the matcha milk tea can be completely vegan is you substitute the dairy with almond or the oat milk that we offer. Boba is vegan as well because it is made with tapioca starch.

    Best drink to get?

    Hi Katherine! We offer many varieties of drinks. We are best known for our Peach Me Sweetea! It is a peach and strawberry black tea with bits of both!

    Does the house milk tea use a dairy free creamer?

    They can use the have options

    Is the almond milk tea good here?

    Yes! I love it!

    Is there a lavender milk tea?

    Hi Kelsey! Our lavender milk tea is a seasonal drink and is currently not offered at this time. We are hoping to have it again sometime soon :) We hope this helps!

    Are there any spicy or salty drinks? Thanks

    We have our Salted Cream Jasmine Iced Tea! :)

    Does their matcha Thai milk tea taste close to seaside bakery? Thank you

    Our Matcha Thai Milk Tea tastes a bit different than the one from Seaside. Only way to find out is to come on in and try one! :)

We got the Campfire French Toast and Cowboy Steak Fries and honestly enjoyed both. The french toast was yummy -- not overly sweet, topped with fruit and graham cracker crumbles for that little crunch that totally fits the campfire theme. The steak fries were solid, though the steak came out a touch more done than the medium we ordered -- minor thing overall. For drinks, we ordered the Coco Drift and Jasmine Coast -- the names alone are cute and very on brand. Coco Drift was my order and it was a seasonal item, but I hope it becomes permanent one day. I'm a huge coconut water matcha person and this met my standards - super refreshing, and the matcha and coconut water were balanced from each other. The space is really charming -- beachy and coastal with warm rustic wooden touches that make it feel cozy. It all ties together in a way that actually matches the name, which I appreciate. Service was super friendly too, everyone was really welcoming. Street parking only and there's usually a line, but both moved faster than expected and it wasn't difficult to find seating. Overall just a really fun spot -- would definitely be back!

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!
