A pretty popular boba chain in chain in cali. First, I'd recommend to get their app and earn points. They also give out random freebies and discounts. I've tried a wide array of their drinks here. Some go tos are the peach me sweet tea and lychee peachy if I'm feeling fruity. For milk teas. I looove their horchata milk tea! Taro and matcha are pretty standard. House coffee is similar to 7-Leaves coffee with that yummy cream on top. Overall solid spot for your caffeine and sweet fix. My only gripe is unlike other boba spots when you ask for less or no ice, They give you partly filled drink. I just want more in my drink! Lol but I get it. read more

Tastea is a hit from back home and wherever I go. From SoCal to NorCal, this place always satisfies! My go to are the smoothies while my friends really enjoy the peach me sweet tea! The popcorn chicken and the fries are addicting! Not only can you get a satisfying drink you can get a full meal. All in all, I recommend that you adjust the sweetness, I usually adjust it to be half sweet! read more

Came in to try the new featured calamari. I'm not sure about the price of this. It's $10.29 for this portion of calamari. Where as you would get much for more for less cost for the chicken. Pretty good flavor though! Just disappointed on the size. read more

My new fave place atm!! I love boba and milk teas and have tried many places. This place is pretty good. Only thing I have to knock a point off for is the consistency of quality. I love this place, but every so often the milk tea drinks are bitter somehow and 1/5 times the fries aren't crispy. This is one of those boba places that are pretty good but not like an authentic boba tea taste. The drinks here reminds me of Cha for tea. Not anything bad just not like an authentic tea flavor (ex: Panda Express is good but not authentic Chinese). Here's my ratings: * jasmine milk tea (my fave) 5/5 - very consistently good. Nice milk to tea ratio. * classic milk tea 4/5 * karate chicken 4/5 - very good chicken and flavor! * buttload'a fries 5/5 - I love these fries!! I've come in just for fries multiple times lol. Get the original with ranch. FANTASTIC. For a boba place, their fries and their ranch are extremely good. Better than wingstop imo * boba 4.5/5 - they have pretty good boba! This gets its own category bc their boba balls have a lot of flavor that compliments their drinks well. Perfectly squishy boba balls. I hope this helps! I'm interested if anyone else has similar or contrasting thoughts on the fries + ranch compared to wingstop?! read more

Excellent drinks and kind customer service. I'm always happy with their quality and promptness. We even ordered Tastea jugs for my daughter's birthday and loved it. read more

Tried their Pumpkin Pie Brûlée drink and loved the brûlée (flan) part of the drink! The pumpkin pie milk tea was tasty and it was topped with some sea foam and nutmeg sprinkled on top of the ice. A little too sweet for my taste, but next time I'll adjust it. read more

They have a nice variety on their menu and solid serving sizes for the price. Their food is pretty good and their drinks always hit. The shop is pretty small but has a few tables. The service is lowkey a hit or miss depending on the workers. read more

The matcha milk tea had no matcha flavor at all, which was disappointing. I feel like it was just tea with some green food coloring because there just wasn't any of the match taste at all. The tea was also strangely very bitter. The boba was chewy and had a good amount of sweetness. The green boba is unique. Pretty similar cost to other boba shops, but the lack of flavor definitely makes it very mediocre. read more

LOVE THEIR FRIES. I got sour cream and onion with a spice level of 3 and it was not too spicy at all. It is really yummy with ranch.

For some reason, I haven't been able to understand the Tastea hype ~ I like a strong tea taste and I usually feel like the drink tastes like fruit juice, minus the lychee peachee. I got the bootea shaker this time with medium sweetness but it was still very sweet for my preference. I have heard that Tastea's popcorn chicken is delicious, so maybe I'll give Tastea another try~ read more

Appreciate Tastea for all the precautions they take during this coviid period. Gloves/masks/ and a tv showing ready orders. I ordered their fried shrimp and it was crunchy, tender, and spicy! They do not skimp on the spices at all. Also ordered the yummy gummy, great mix of peach and orange as well as peach bits. I recommend downloading their app because you get a sign up bonus that's equal to a free drink, plus it works like a stamp card! read more

I finally got the app considering I go to Tastea at least monthly and they sometimes have freebies (at sign up, for birthdays, discounts). I liked the Peach Me Sweetea, but favorite is still the Bootea shaker. The boba has been pretty consistently chewy. Friend likes the 32oz size but I prefer the smaller 20 oz, but 32oz is good for sharing or leftover next day tea. They have been pretty quick w orders at this location though I've never gone when it's really crowded. read more

my experience was ok. i requested oat milk and it was made with non dairy creamer instead. i asked them if it was made with oat milk and they looked around confused. the guy who made my drink wasn't included in this interaction and instead he was on his phone. thankfully my drink was remade but they don't strain the syrup from the boba very well and i was left with a lot of boba syrup at the bottom of my drink. service could improve and my drink was ok. read more

Came in at 9:58pm to the register. Supervisor Luis walked around and didn't help us until 10:01pm. We tried to order food and he declined our order since their kitchen closes at 10pm. Very disappointed with how bad the service had gotten here. read more

The workers here are super friendly and fast which I appreciate! I usually get their fruit teas or blended drinks as I think they are better than their milk teas. The drinks are usually on the sweeter side (especially the peach me sweet tea) so I suggest lowering the sweetness! The price is fairly average compared to other boba spots in the area. The fries are great here as it is well fried and seasoned. read more

Bumped them up to a 5, after consistency with their customer service. Had such a awesome experience on Sunday 7/11/21 around 11:20AM shout out to the young man at the register. He made a special request for my son, who is too young for caffeine. My family continues to love the drinks at Tastea!! Their green boba is growing on me too. The drinks are consistently on point at this location! We love the customer service here, their always willing to make their customers happy. Great job guys!! read more

I'm not usually a fan of fruity bubble tea but this one I have to say was quite good! Went here with my wife and the fam after korean BBQ for a little dessert, I got the Peach Me sweet tea large size to share. It was quite good - the tea itself is very smooth and not overly sweet despite getting the full sweet option, I like the peach flavor. The fillings including the green boba and the fruit bits were super tasty as well - the boba has a nice texture, soft but still a tiny bit chewy. Would definitely come here again to try some more flavors, I saw some people getting food here too so I assume the snacks are good here too. read more

I finally took it upon myself to appreciate what was around me in the bubble and I noticed how Tastea has graced the Crossroads Plaza for a while now. I was in the area and was "thirstea" so here we are. I got a "thirtea" two oz. HONEYDEW MILK TEA with regular boba vs honey boba and let me tell you how "prettea" stoked I was after almost downing my drink in one sip because it was "tearrific". They have the boba making process down to a "tea". I promise it's not just because I was "thirstea", it was really "tastea". No stamp cards here but they have an app says the guy behind the counter. I'm "toteally" going to be a regular. read more

I was very excited when I found out they had Tastea in Irvine. So far, the workers that helped me are really friendly and accommodating. They always have a friendly smile and greet customers when they come in & leave. -Peach Me Sweetea: This is my go to drink! It's refreshing and fruity just the way I like it. Also, their honey boba is always fresh. They serve it warm. -Taro Milk Tea: If you love taro, you must get this. It's creamy and has a nice sweetness to it. -Avocado Avalanche: My mom loves this drink. She's a huge avocado fan! This is right up her alley. Don't forget to order some fries and popcorn chicken! The price is worth the amount of food they serve you!! It's served fresh and always piping hot! Yummy read more

First impression: The two employees making drinks cheerfully greeted me as I walked in. I felt welcomed! Second impression: I had to wait for the cashier to stop texting so that I could order. Those welcoming feeling faded but I tipped because the employees making the drinks seemed nice. Third impression: The employees making the drinks were spending more time talking than making drinks so the wait was longer than usual. Fourth impression: I get out of the parking lot and realize my drink doesn't have the boba I ordered. So I go back and the employee (cashier) puts a weak spoonful in and gives me a dismissive "sorry." I regret that tip. read more

I love coming here because I love fruity drinks, and Tastea has always delivered without fail. I've gotten Peach Me Sweetea most of the times, and thought I should try something new. Peach Me Sweetea is definitely still my favorite so far! Sunset Peach: This has peach and raspberry, along with green mango bits. I substituted for Green Tea instead as well. I thought this was very refreshing, but still not as good as Peach Me Sweetea - I couldn't help but compare as this had peach flavor in it. Strawberry Ecsteasy: This has strawberry black tea and grass jelly included in it. This might be my second favorite drink now - this has a great balance of strawberry flavor and the bitterness of black tea, and the grass jelly just ties it in all together. Tastea is a definite must-try if you're ever in the Irvine area!!! read more

Some of the largest smoothies in the area with the best prices especially for being in Irvine. I'll be coming back!

Usually I enjoy most Tastea drinks, but I was disappointed by the strawberry matcha at this location. The matcha was powdery and there was barely a strawberry taste in the drink. I have tried many other drinks and would recommend their fruit teas instead of the milk teas. read more

I ordered their pineapple flavored smoothie expecting a healthy, fruit filled smoothie. Instead I got a pineapple flavored ice cream dessert. It was awful how sweet it was. I threw it out and wasted $7. I respect the owner quickly responded on my review. read more

Tastea - Strawberry sensation: half sweet - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

One of the best boba spots in orange county, hands down, fresh fruit is key and they use it as much as possible.

Tastea has an excellent selection of fresh fruit teas, which IMO, are better than their milk teas. I've known of Tastea for a long time, but I don't frequent this place for two reasons. The first reason was because their milk teas make me sick. Don't let this deter you - I have a sensitive stomach, and they also have alternatives to the nondairy cream they use. The second reason is because their drinks come out cool (not cold) if you ask for less ice, and if you get regular ice, they'll put a significant amount in. As such, I always felt Tastea wasn't a great value compared to other shops in the area. Nevertheless, I had a great experience today that makes me consider coming back more often. For my birthday, I ordered 32 OZ Great White with Longan! That would have cost $7 without my discount, but it was a treat! The cashier was very knowledgeable and patient in explaining the drink's components to me. He was right in saying white tea is bright, light, clear, yet strong. What resulted is an excellent balance between tea and fruit flavor with delectable longan bits at the bottom. They didn't put too much ice in either - at regular ice, it was still less ice than 7 Leaves' less ice. I was pleased with not only this drink, but with the Peach Me Sweetea I've had in the past. I always look for fruit teas with a balance of natural fruit flavor and well-brewed tea, and so many places can't seem to get it right. Either you're faced with overpowering fruit syrup or overbrewed tea in an attempt to make it "strong." I usually go to Pengo or YiFang for my fix, but I'm happy to have a closer establishment now! read more

The drinks here are delicious. Made to order to your liking, I usually order mine with light ice and less sweet. Prices are fair and the quality is consistent.

I like tastea but I don't love their drinks. I used to be a bigger fan but over the years their drinks just tasted okay and super sweet, make sure to adjust the sugar level. Their drinks are more like slushy and juice vs real quality tea. Their boba are fun though, colorful. read more

I had a pretty bad experience today. The customer service is really great but my drink was horribly bitter. It sucks because I've been here three times before and it was great all the other times. Today, I order to jasmine sea salt with honey boba. Holy heck it tasted like a big swing of hydrochloric acid. I couldn't drink more than two sips. I paid 4.50 for a drink that tastes terrible. I really liked this place and I'm so sad because it was supposed to be good. I'm so confused and I want a refund. Why does it taste like bleach?? Like it never tasted like that before!! Please, somebody, tell the management that they need to watch out for bitter batches. UPDATE 4/5 Tastea has really stepped up their game. Thank you for the reimbursement. I still haven't tried the same thing I ordered the last time, but all of the other drinks I've tried since that incident have been great. Thank you Tastea~ read more

Strawberry matcha here is excellent, recommend 75% or less sweet unless you really want to be punched in the face with sugar haha :) such fast service as well! read more

I used to enjoy the drinks at Tastea, but they've had inconsistent quality, taste, and customer service here. Even when I get drinks with adjusted sweetness levels, I feel like they turn out either bland or too sweet with indiscernible flavor. From what I remember, the boba is super sweet since it's shrouded in sugary syrup that's easily seen at the bottom of the cups. I did have a very disappointing experience one day when I ordered a salted cream jasmine iced tea with no ice. The bobarista, after making my drink and seeing that there was space at the top, added more premade tea to the cup to compensate for the lack of ice. If she wanted to add tea to adjust for that, then shouldn't she have added some sweetener as well? Anyways, she then quickly realized she had to leave some space for the cream, which in the end wasn't enough to balance out the strong bitterness of the added tea. Not sure if what she did was protocol or if the jasmine tea was oversteeped that day, but I was surprised at what I had witnessed. Also, it took me at least a couple of minutes to flag someone down just for a straw. Sadly, I couldn't enjoy that drink the way it was because there was a stingy amount of salted cream on top of a whole lot of bitter tea. I don't see myself coming back here, especially since I've had to doctor up most of the drinks at home. read more

Wow pretty amazing here. First time customers. Won't be the last! We got the taro milk tea, tiger milk, Karate Chicken, Buttloads fries, and Shrimp on it! I chose oat milk as my base for my taro milk tea and honey boba - the oat milk is def very prominent over the taro which is a given but the honey boba really stood out. They came in different color balls too Tiger milk tasted just like an ice cream bar. SWEET LEVEL TO THE MAX, added honey boba - if you like love sweet, this is the drink Karate chicken level 2, which in my opinion tasted like it should be insane. I'm scared to feel what the spice level is on actual insane. The meat was nice and tender, gently fried and perfectly spiced. I would 100% get this again, debating if I get the same slice tho. Phew. Buttloads fries no spice, but they had this seasoning on it that had no flavor just weird mouth full, like powder each bite. I'm not sure if I would get these again, nothing special. Skip the ranch side, no need for ketchup but DO get the sweet chili sauce. A given! Some side notes: Cups have a lot of plastic - plastic lid vs the traditional thins plastic top seal To-go orders are placed in paper box vs plastic (thank you) Paper bags for all your items vs plastic bag. :) I will definitely be coming back here for my late night craving fill. read more
