Haven't been here since it was a Ding Tea. I was desperate for a matcha einspanner, but not enough to drive down to my usual place in Westminster. After reading the reviews, I thought I'd take the risk and give Teatopia a chance and I am so glad I did. We ordered at the kiosk, but failed to notice a posted sign that said they were out of green grape, which is one of the things we ordered. When only one drink came out, the super sweet girl behind the counter offered to make any drink from the menu for us -- regardless of value. MATCHA EINSPANNER: 4/5. Truly surprised by how good this was. Matcha forward, super creamy. 100% sweetness was just right to me. I just found my local spot for when I don't feel like making the trip to GG or Westminster. LYCHEE TEA: 4/5. 100% sweetness here was a little too sweet for me, but my partner loved it. The flavor of the tea itself was delicious. read more

Yikes. I was in the area shopping and getting errands done. I had a 25 minute ride back home so I decided to get something refreshing from here first. It was a Saturday evening about an hour before they closed. When I walked in there was a couple in front of me and it appeared they had issues ordering from the kiosk. The one worker who was there that night came out with the most unfriendly face and vibe. Even though she wasn't serving me yet she even made me feel uncomfortable and that's hard to do. Lmao. After we all ordered our drinks, we could not help but talk about how grumpy she looked. I gave the benefit of the doubt knowing it sucks to work alone on a Saturday or maybe she's tired but the strangers i was talking with said everytime they come here she's always unfriendly. The one star reviews on here confirm that. I kid you not I was looking for the manager to share this concern with because it was that bad. There was no one else in sight. I didn't feel like confronting anyone that night, but if they read their yelp reviews please consider providing customer service training to your employees. With so many boba shops opened now in brea including the 3-4 spots in brea mall alone, good drinks and good service will keep your business alive. 2 stars for my pineapple Green tea. It was decent but the ice level sucked. Very little ice was given and the ice they used melted super fast. read more

My visit to Teatopia in Brea left me pleasantly surprised by how much care and personality this little shop packs into its drinks and atmosphere. It's the kind of place that feels instantly welcoming, with a menu that's both approachable and full of thoughtful flavor combinations. The moment I walked in, I felt that familiar comfort of a neighborhood tea shop done right. The space is clean, bright, and cozy without feeling cramped. There's a relaxed energy to the shop--enough foot traffic to feel lively, but never overwhelming. It's the kind of environment where you can settle in for a bit or grab something quickly on the go. The décor leans modern and simple, with just enough personality to make it feel warm rather than sterile. It's a place that clearly prioritizes comfort and good vibes. Teatopia in Brea is one of those spots that quietly wins you over with its warmth, its simplicity, and its consistently delicious drinks. The cozy atmosphere makes it easy to relax, the service is genuinely friendly, and the menu offers just enough variety without feeling overwhelming. read more

Came across this gem through a Yelp buddy's review. Doug, if you see this, thank you, haha! I've been hitting up Brea once a month for an errand, and I always scout for a coffee spot afterward. Somehow, this spot never came up even though they have coffee. I got the Biscoff Crunch Matcha and felt like coffee too, so I ordered the coconut coffee. The Biscoff matcha was a new flavor combo for me, and I liked it so much I finished the whole thing on my drive home. The coconut coffee was solid too (only took a few sips) but I just couldn't get enough of the match. Just a note... Yelp showed it closing soon (11:00 AM) when I arrived, 8 minutes before 11, but the hours on the door said otherwise. The girl was already scrubbing the counters in the back when I walked in. Glad I checked and went in anyway! read more

I have been coming here for years, and I almost always order my same kumquat lemon green tea. I saw on their Instagram account that they have a few new drinks that looked interesting. They were offering a great promotion on the new drinks, so I thought I'd stop by and give them a try. Green Grape Smash Tea - (Ordered 50% sweet, 25% ice, with boba, $5.95 base price, boba $0.85 extra) The drink has a nice tartness, and at 50% sweetness, it is just right. I think any higher than 50% sweet would be too much and would overpower the tartness. I love the smashed grapes at the bottom, definitely a unique "topping". I eat my grapes like my boba, I munch on them once at a time for a little bit. The grapes were very fresh and the mash was crisp, with a mix of smaller and bigger pieces. They add to the refreshing aspect of this drink. Mango Coco Sago - (Ordered 50% sweet, no toppings, $7.50). My first few sips were definitely interesting as I tried to analyze the flavors. The slush had a nice texture. I definitely tasted the coconut milk, which also has a nutty component to it, perhaps from the sago. This is the first time I've had sago pearls which are like tiny boba with a softer texture, and there are a lot of them. The mango flavor is there, but more in the background for me. The mango puree at the bottom was very fresh and flavorful. This is a richer drink, and a slow sipper for me unlike flavored teas that I have to stop myself from drinking too fast. Two good new drinks! Service was friendly as usual. read more

Was looking for a place to get a good drink late in the afternoon. We were at Trader Joe's and found this place nearby. Cute little shop with lots of drink options. We got the banana matcha latte and the lychee lemonade. Both so good. Will have to come back and try their coffee. read more

Teatopia - Banana Cream Matcha Latte and Strawberry Lychee Lemonade - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

Tried their matcha einspanner and added on the "1 extra gram of matcha" for $0.75. The einspanner top was sweet and delicious and mixed well with the rest of the matcha, especially since I added the extra gram which I feel like made it ever so slightly additionally "bitter" or more matcha-y so they balanced out! It was hard not to continuously drink it during the 30 mi drive home!! My drink came out fairly quickly and I was the only one in the store at the moment. Love the artwork on the wall! The area is also clean and a couple of tables and chairs to hang out. read more

I LOVE the matcha drinks here. Prices are fair and quality is great. U have ur choice of any milk and an extra gram of matcha at no extra cost. I LOVVVEEEEE the banana cream matcha. It has chunks of banana in it and some toffee bits. Perfect flavor palate. I love that the banana doesn't taste overly ripe. It's just perfect. I've been addicted and coming here 5 days in a row lol my daughter tried the coconut matcha and the strawberry matcha and she loved them. I didn't really taste much coconut in her coconut matcha honestly. The strawberry matcha had the perfect strawberry taste. They do a good job of the fruit matchas tasting fresh :). I have gotten it DoorDashed and I have also gone in store and the quality was great both ways. It's a cute small spot displaying art specific to OC, and has a few tables inside playing jams quietly in the background. Service is good, no complaints :) Today I found out they do a matcha Monday with a few matchas on the menu for a couple dollars less read more

Been wanting to check this spot out for the matcha. Just realized this is a boba shop not sure if the matcha grade is ceremonial. I ordered the matcha einspanner. The matcha was quite bitter however, the cream top saved the flavor profile of it. It will do In a pinch! Matcha einspanner: 7/10 read more

Teatopia - Matcha einspanner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

They have wintermelon, my fav boba tea flavor because it tastes a lot like milk tea but without the caffeine. And they make it perfectly here. When we first got the boba the boba was hot which eventually cooled in the iced drink but tasted weird that you're drinking really hot boba with cold tea. I would wait for everything to cool. Maybe it's ok when the weather is cooler but when it's 90 degrees outside and you just bought a cold drink to cool down, it's a downside. Very glad good boba place is open so near me. My son really liked their cookies and cream. read more

I'd actually give this place 4.5 stars It wasn't crowded so we got our drinks pretty quick. We got a cookies and crème drink w/boba and a strawberry snow w/boba. Both drinks were really good. The boba was soft and chewy. It wasn't hard. If I'm in the area again, I'd probably return. read more

Parking: busy lot because it is right next to Trader Joe's. Everyone is going there instead. free parking at least. Service: self-serve kiosk in the front. staff is friendly and fast. Food: the coffee drinks are hard to customize. I wonder if you can ask the staff to change some things such as light ice otherwise all other drinks are pretty customizable. read more

My coworker and I come here all the time, as we work down the street. I get the taro and Thai tea with a side of popcorn chicken with medium spice level. Prices are on the regular high price. Around $8 for a one size drink with 1 topping. Small little shop with seats for up to 8 people. The egg pudding is great! And will continue to come here with my coworkers when we dig boba tea. Service is now done through a screen, while the workers make your drink. read more

Absolutely unacceptable. After Dingtea left and Teatopia replaced it, I was expecting atleast a mediocre boba. I ordered the Jasmine tea and it tasted like my moms nail polish remover mixed with sunblock cold foam. There were only two 20 year olds running the place and there wasnt any vibes in the store. The Krak boba across the street seems to be doing mich better and I would probably rent out the building if I had the decision. The service was okay at best. read more

It's pretty good, when I got the lavender matcha there were like lavender stems in it... kinda interesting. Still pretty good though! I got the biscoff matcha and it's yummy, just wish it was a little bit more strong because they do advertise high quality ceremonial grade matcha. I would recommend this place because service is good and they do have a decent amount of options. It's a small place but it is nice and cozy, not too crowded so no complaints! Try it. read more

Service was speedy. Ambiance is nice. They have chill music. Limited seating not a super big place. Would go again but this place is on the pricey side. Very many matcha options on the menu! The banana cream did have a slight grass taste. Soft top foam was 5/5 crunchy banana toffee 5/5. I think it could do with a stronger banana forward flavor but still liked it. Not a fake banana flavor. There were also tiny chunks of banana. This place can mix drink flavors for you! Has alternative milk options for $0 Has soda options too They also sell Labubus Is the price justifiable, idk I paid about $10 for my matcha :/ Banana cream matcha w oat milk 3.75/5 read more

I had posted a video on TikTok about my recent cafe visits and Teatopia commented on my video to stop by so I said "Say less!" The space was small and cozy and the workers were nice. They were helpful at providing recommendations for me after I was debating on getting the banana cream matcha latte or the double matcha. I was surprised at how good my banana cream matcha latte was! The cup size was super generous and I really liked the banana pudding; it didn't taste artificial at all. It's up there with Coffee & for the best banana pudding matcha for sure. Definitely visiting again! :) read more

Usually this place is pretty good with service and quality but came here tonight 15 min before closing and it was locked. Called, they answered and the girl said they "ran out of boba and everything." Unbelievable. read more

Decent new tea spot in the Trader Joe's/Protein Lab complex! Staff was kind and offered quick service. Cool Orange County themed mural inside too! Ordered the banana cream matcha latte. Not bad! I wasn't expecting the nut topping, but the cream did have a good banana taste and the drink did taste like matcha. Not the freshest ingredients nor the highest quality, but that's not to be expected of your neighborhood boba joint. Recommend this place if you need a quick boba fix! read more

Great spot for matcha! When I don't feel like making my own, this is where I'd go. They use a generous amount of unsweetened matcha powder (they even offer 1 FREE gram of matcha), so the drink comes out bold, smooth, and well-balanced, not grainy! For sweetener, they use agave so that pairs well too. I'd recommend ordering with less ice, to avoid dilution. Overall service is quick, pricing is fair, and the quality is just how I like my matcha to be. read more

This may be my new favorite matcha spot! The banana matcha latte with oat milk was absolutely delicious. You could really tell the banana topping was fresh and the matcha was high quality. It's one of those drinks you want to keep sipping, even while trying to take it slow to savor the flavor. Teatopia is located in a busy shopping center, but there was still plenty of parking. Service was quick, even though a sign noted they were understaffed. The only downside was the price. At $8, this will be an occasional treat. read more

One of my favorite matchas in OC! I get the matcha einspanner with oat milk full sweetness. The drink has a strong matcha flavor, green color, and creamy consistency. The cream also compliments the drink well. My drink is always consistently good with friendly service. There was one instance where they forget the sweetener in my drink but they remade it for me. The inside has a few tables and chairs. The store itself is small so it's good for a quick grab and go or chat with friends. I would not recommend studying here. Overall, I love the matcha here! The drinks are always solid and the service is quick. read more

The menu has so many options, I'd love to try them all! The flavors are good and you can adjust your sweetness or add toppings and there's a lot to choose from which is always great. There is an order screen or you can order with a staff member. Our matcha lattes were tasty, unfortunately they were out of banana cream which is what we originally came there for. I would recommend playing music to add to the environment. They were short staffed the day we went, which resulted in drinks taking a little longer to make but they were fresh and I will definitely come back another time to try more. :) read more

Teatopia - Double matcha latte Strawberry Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brea, California

This place is a small and quiet spot (no background music was playing when we visited, which I thought it was too silent). There were a couple of people studying, but since the tables are pretty close to the counter, it didn't seem like the most comfortable place to stay for long. I'd say it's better suited as a grab-and-go kind of spot. I liked that they have a self-order kiosk, so you don't feel rushed while deciding what to get. My friend really appreciated that they offer milk alternatives and even a free scoop of matcha to make drinks stronger, especially considering how pricey matcha powder is these days. I ordered the grapefruit green tea with 75% sweetness, and it was perfect for my taste. I loved the bittersweetness with real grapefruit pieces!! read more

I ordered their matcha einspanner price was $6.41. Service was good. The only thing is that I wish they let me know they had a point system so I could've been able to redeem my points. Ambiance is nice and clean small seating area. The matcha tasted pretty rich! I would def be back to try other drinks. They also have a restroom too so this place would be a good spot for studying read more

Tried their banana cream matcha for the first time. The cream was super good and it had the right amount of sweetness with the banana flavor. The 3 star is due to that it was way too small considering that it was almost $9 and they put too much ice in it. I finished the whole thing under 5 minutes. read more

I was lured in by their $4 matcha einspanner deal and I think their trap worked and I will be a regular here. There's FREE milk substitutes and the menu is so big there's something for everyone. I even see a kid's menu with smaller portions and hot food items. There's maybe 3 tables in there so a small group could come to study. The person who took my order was so nice and knowledgeable about the menu, and turns out he was the owner working the front. He was telling me that their banana cream match is actually the most popular drink, so I'll have to try it next time. I think he even went back to make the drink himself and even checked in to see if I liked the drink (i loved it). Thanks Jimmy. The quality of my matcha einspanner is amazing. They are generous with the matcha and it tastes smooth and the flavory right mixture of creamy, earthy, and umami. Perfect amount of ice. See you soon Teatopia! notes: I was lost bc apple maps directed me wrong, it's next to baja tacos, lots of parking! read more

I'm looking forward to coming back with the kiddos! read more

Teatopia was perfect. Not sure why it changed from Ding Tea but menu is very similar. Maybe just new management?! Jasmine Milk Tea was good very floral tasting. Half sweet was definitely the move. Green Thai Tea was my favorite of the two. Never had green thai tea but will be back again to get this. Also 50% sweet was just right. Boba was fresh. Ice level was also perfect. Happy to see this place thriving. Matcha looks delicious too will have to try it out next time. Small inside not a lot of seating, but clean and friendly helpful workers. read more

This was honestly one of the best matchas I've had--it had such a rich, deep flavor that really stood out. The oat milk added the perfect creaminess and balanced the slight bitterness in a really nice way. I tried the strawberry matcha, and it was different from what I'm used to. Instead of the usual syrup or purée, they used dehydrated strawberries, which gave the drink a crunch and a little tang that made it unique. Overall, super refreshing and delicious--I'd definitely come back! read more

One of my favorite boba tea cafes to order from. It was originally a Ding Tea, and I'm not sure if it's the same owner. But the menu looks similar + matcha drink options. Very reasonable price compared to other boba shops in Brea. Cute little space off of Imperial. My favorite is the Guava Green Milk Tea, and I will always order it as long as they have it. But, I might have to try a matcha drink. I heard it's really good here. Located: Brea, CA. Similar to a strip mall with large shopping brands, other food/restaurants, Trader Joe's, etc. Lots of parking. read more
