    Popcorn Milk Tea
    Andrew N.

    I was surprised to see all the raving reviews for Torotea, especially for the popcorn milk tea with brown sugar. The tapiochi in the drink was good, but the drink itself tasted just like a nutty milk. There wasn't much of a strong flavor of tea at all. I thought they were supposed to be famous for their tea. The drink was average at best, but definitely not worth the nine dollars. The vibe inside was pretty cool and the service was normal. There is a small free parking lot so you don't have to worry about paying for parking.

    I love the jellies at ToroTea. I think it tastes better than boba. The popcorn milk tea is a popular drink here, and I do think the buttery flavor is so interesting. But I think I prefer their teas. I like that the specialty ones include toppings already. Mulberry was a bit too sweet for me even though I got zero sugar. I prefer their roasted barley iced tea with osmanthus jelly. Drinks can be easily close to $10. Service is great! Queues can be long. Parking is easy. Bathroom available. Credit card/tap is accepted with no surcharge. I like to stop by when I'm in the area.

    One of my favorite boba spots ever! I love that they do not do traditional boba. I much prefer the jellies and tapaochi! The texture is perfect, if you like jello you'll like this. The drinks are also the perfect amount of sweetness. Normally at boba shops I adjust to 50% sugar, but here 100% is just fine. I do feel the tea quality has gone a bit down since they have expanded. But overall, it is still good. The service is always great & they always have a sample to give you when you enter. My personal favorite is the misty oolong. The first time I came I tried the popcorn milk tea and it was a little over rated. I think great for people that love popcorn flavored things but not my vibe. Their cassia is also good if you're looking for a non-caffeinated version.

    YUMMY!!!! The Popcorn Milktea is soo smooth and buttery, I've never had anything like it! And omg the tapiochi!! 10/10!! I shouldn't be drinking dairy because I'm lowkey lactose but it will forever be worth it for a milktea boba LMAO!! :') Went on a Saturday afternoon, even though it was busy, didn't have to wait very long. Definitely a cool little boba spot!

    * a passion project created by a physician * rather than traditional boba, this tea shop handcrafts unique toppings in-house, offering different flavored tapiochi (tapioca + mochi) and jellies (my favorite is the osmanthus jelly!) * each location has store exclusive drinks 10/10

    Torotea has really fragrant drinks. I highly recommend the Double Matcha!! It's like Super Matcha on Steriods! The Jellies are made in house!

    One of my favorite milk tea spots! Bummed at their recent price hike - one of my favorites the popcorn milk tea is now around $9... I tend to get their fruit teas like the calamansi oolong twist as their milk teas, albeit incredibly fragrant, are not as strong as I'd like after milk is added. The interior is very aesthetic although quite small- I was occasionally able to snag a spot to enjoy the drinks inside with friends. Service is friendly.

    Famous for their popcorn milk tea. I got it half sweet so perfect sweetness for me but the milk tea was decent, wouldn't be my favorite but the mochi jelly texture like was very unique and I would go back for that topping. It wasn't chewier than regular jelly but not boba jelly. Good try and good toppings.

    Really enjoying the uva milk tea with black tea tapiochi. I get it less sweet and it's perfect. Hoping they add more black teas to the menu in the future! They mostly have oolongs on the menu currently. Definitely on the pricy side, especially since their toppings are an extra dollar on top of the $6-9+ for your drink. I don't think any drink should be close to $10 so that part is a little off putting. Still don't recommend their matcha, especially since they're $8.55-9.85 and taste pretty bad and chalky to me. Would recommend trying out their other tea drinks instead.

    I've tried toro tea out a few more times and realized their non-viral drinks are so much more my cup of tea (pun intended). I've had the ember milk tea and cassia milk tea my last two visits while sampling the jellies that could come with each drink. I do appreciate Toro tea for unique, low/no caffeine options. That being said, the price is still crazy high and it really sucks if you get a drink you don't want. If you're new to toro tea, I'd go with a group so you can try each others drinks to know what works best for you.

    The chino location seems to be more convenient to me only because they have a larger parking lot. I got the creme brulee drink which is always very good. I also got the matcha duo einspanner which i felt like wasn't as good as the regular matcha einspanner. I'm used to the toro tea in Chino making that one a thick texture so I assumed the duo einspanner would be the same but more matcha but the flavor and texture just wasn't as good. This location is a lot brighter inside compared to chinos which I did like. I also liked that The workers felt more eager to serve you compared to chino.

    I used to love coming to torotea from OC, but after today I probably won't visit as often or at all. While the drinks have remained consistent as far as I can tell, there has been a SIGNIFICANT price increase across all drinks on the menu. The lack of a rewards program also makes it less enticing to return, as they used to have one in the very beginning. I am aware that a new location just opened in Santa Ana, but it doesn't have the Yelp waitlist system just fyi, so the line is incredibly long.

    My all-time favorite drink spot! I've been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. My go-to is the Osmanthus Citrus Refresher--it's so refreshing and always hits the spot. I've tried a lot of their other drinks too, and they're all delicious. At this point, I'm honestly just a hardcore Torotea fan. If you're visiting for the first time, I definitely recommend giving the Osmanthus Citrus Refresher a try! The shop is clean and inviting, and there's plenty of parking, making it an easy stop whenever you're craving a drink.

    I came here specifically because for the Biscoff latte. I was surprised that they only offered it…read morehot, but it was good nonetheless. They smeared Biscoff spread on the cup and used just enough syrup so that I could taste the cookie butter but not to the point where it was overly sweet. In fact, I would argue that it wasn't that sweet at all and the espresso was a lot stronger. There were a few cookie crumbs at the bottom too so I'm not sure if they incorporated it in the syrup or if it just sank to the bottom by the time I got my drink. I also tried the hot horchata latte but it seemed more like a regular latte sprinkled with cinnamon powder because there didn't seem to be any syrup. I loved the vibes on the rainy Monday I visited and a lot of people were in there working or studying, since there were outlets against the wall. The workers were nice and approachable, and the drinks came out quickly.

For the pastries, it looked like a lot of the ones I was hoping from browsing online were not available. I ended up getting the biscoff cheesecake. It was on the sweeter side but it was very good. For the drink, I ended up getting the banana latte. Been on a streak of getting that lately so wanted to compare with other stores. I didn't get a lot of banana in the taste. At least it had an espresso shot for the caffeine fix and did not taste like the artificial banana. Nothing special there and stand out. For the interior, they had a few seating they primarily accommodated a few groups of four and two. I was able to grab a bench seat that had an outlet. However, there wasn't enough space for my laptop and the items I ordered. WiFi was available but it had a 90 minute limit. The store had a moderate noise level and stayed busy throughout the time that I was there. The service on the order was quick and they do bring it out to you. The store also has their own house espresso which was a medium dark roast. American Express is accepted as a payment option here. Overall, it was a decent work spot. If I come back, I'd prefer to try another drink and hope other pastries are available. Would recommend the biscoff cheesecake for those that want something sweet and the house coffee beans for those that like medium roasts.

You can find parking on the street, or you can park in the lot. There isn't a parking meter anymore, so I'm not sure what the city guidelines are for payment, but your first two hours parking there are free! When walking towards the cafe, you will see a sign for a pub. You can walk inside and turn towards the right. The cafe and baristas are located towards the very back! Yet, once you go inside, you notice all the seating that is available. We have asked towards the baristas, and used a little tablet to scan their menu. We ended up ordering a tonic and a banana cold brew. They also had food items! We had chosen their breakfast burrito. Their coffee is strong and you can feel the caffeine. Yet, the sweetness is perfect and can mask your actual caffeine intake! It's amazing how they can do both. Their burrito was very savory and delicious as well. It's always quick and clean at this cafe. The baristas are always sweet. My fiancé and I do come here to do work, and their WiFi is decent, too. I highly recommend this cafe if you're ever in the area!

This Smoking Tiger Coffee Lab location is located where the previous Diamond Bakery was, in the 99 Ranch Market plaza at the corner of Nogales and Gale. Berries n' Cream $7.50 (EZ Ice, Room on Top) I had a $5 off promotion in the app but on the day of ordering, it became a $3 off promotion. Of course, the company can do whatever they want with their promotions, but it was disappointing when I was ordering through the app to see that the promo was lower than when I had just seen it as $5 off a few days prior, with no expiration date. I ordered through the app and when I arrived, the drink was not yet ready, so we waited a bit. I forgot that there is no "welcoming vibes" with Smoking Tiger Coffee Lab locations. Basically there's no acknowledgment or "hellos" when you enter or even arrive at the counter. It is very mellow, quiet. There were a few orders ahead of me so we just waited until I was called. We had only previously ordered coffee drinks before so we decided to try a seasonal drink with the promo. It was delicious and everything was well-balanced. Overall, I would only return if I have a craving due to the prices. Their drinks are more of a treat for me, than a regular every day type of deal.
