Boba milk tea is really good. Half sweet. Not a fan of the tie guan milk tea, strong tea flavor if you like that stayle. The lemon signature tea is good. Honey jasmine green tea with lychee is very good. read more

I got the Tie Guan Yin milk tea with boba, and it was really good. This is my fourth time coming here, and I'll definitely be back again soon. All of their drinks have a strong, rich tea flavor, which I personally love. The shop itself is very small, more of a grab-and-go spot. There are only about two or three small tables inside, so it's not really a place to hang out. I would recommend ordering online ahead of time since it can get pretty busy. That said, I was a bit disappointed with the service during my most recent visit. I received a pickup text and went to grab my order, but they told me it was still being prepared. After waiting another 5-10 minutes, I went back up only to find that my drink had already been sitting on the pickup table the whole time. The lack of organization and awareness from staff really took away from the experience. read more

TP Tea - Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea, 鐵觀音奶茶 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Favorite boba shop in Irvine! Found this place per a recommendation after Sharetea messed up their menu and never looked back! They have such a great selection of teas, and they make the best seasonal drinks as well. I'm a fruit tea person and my go-tos are 1.) Lemon Jasmine with Aiyu jelly, 2.) Fantastic fruit tea without the fruit slices and 3.) Passion fruit green tea. Topping selection is also really good. Parking is convenient because the lot is huge. Ordering is usually convenient because they use the Toast app and have screens inside you can order from. Seating inside is very limited - only 2 tables and they are usually taken due to the popularity of the place. Major complaint is that they make it really difficult to make adjustments to drinks. You can't make notes for adjustments through toast so have to order in person. Similarly their ordering system inside doesn't have notes so you have to place your order and walk up to ask for a modification. Unfortunately when they make seasonal drinks, they have preselected toppings that they don't allow you to substitute for free. When they did the Lychee tea with cube jelly, I had to pay for the cube jelly and the topping I actually wanted, then ask them to leave the cube jelly out (didn't taste good, was too big for the straw) - such a shame they would do that, you'd think they would realize people have toppings they like and be flexible about it, especially for the price of boba these days....super annoying. Overall, the staff is nice and they work quickly. There's a vibe they prefer to be making drinks rather than dealing with people due to their operating model so don't expect too much from the service. Here weekly and will continue coming in for the foreseeable future! Hoping a few improvements are made. read more

The new TP tea is great and servers were good. The drink I got was wintermelon tea and it tastes a bit odd. Very bittery for some reason, however I'll come back and try other drinks again! read more

I've been here a couple of times and the quality is always consistent. I asked for no jelly and they let me know the drink would be short (filled to the top of the label as shown in picture), which was silly because I ordered tea. Nonetheless, the drink was still refreshing. The tieguanyin tea latte was a table favorite. The milk tea was rich and flavorful. I'd love to see a simple mango green tea on the menu. read more

My go-to order is the 3Q milk tea -- I love the QQ noodles and coffee jelly toppings. Such a great combo! I usually order online for pickup, and the process is always super easy. The line can get pretty long at times, so I highly recommend ordering ahead if you want to save some time. The pickup process is very convenient. I get a text notification when my order is ready, and the workers are always nice and helpful. read more

TP Tea has slowly became my favorite spot to get milk tea/boba fix! Not much of a boba person anymore, but I found myself drawn to their milk tea! It reminded me of the milk tea I would get during my childhood, nothing too crazy in term of favor but super classic and fragrant! This is my second time visiting the Irvine location and I think I like it better than the Artesia location, as it is a bit more spacious and closer to me. My go to order is the 3Q TP Milk Tea with all 3 of their signature toppings. I always get my milk tea at the 30% sweetness level, which is perfect for me! The boba and qq noodles are perfectly cooked with the right chew! I visited 10 mins before the store close, which I feel bad but your boy needs to get his craving fix. The service was super fast and staff were friendly and welcoming! read more

Stopped by yesterday with some coworkers for a quick refreshment. This place did not disappoint. Place was in a plaza of private parking and some other food spots nearby. Opted for their Green Milk Tea. Quick service. The drink had a perfect balance of creamer and tea. Great spot for people enjoying a heavier tea for milk teas. read more

TP Tea - Jasmine Green Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

TL;DR - top tier milk tea store in OC, can't miss with any of their drinks. Their orange milk tea was bomb but a seasonal drink. Recently released their lychee series which is also excellent! There's obviously a ton of milk tea stores throughout Orange County and a bunch of them are excellent. When it comes my definition of a top-tier milk tea store, it is TP Tea without question. I've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed in the quality of their drinks. You can't miss to be honest. My favorite drink was their orange milk tea but it was a seasonal drink. I was really REALLY sad to see it go away lol. The service here is always quick and I've never seen them mess up! Ambiance is nice. Not noisy but not silent like a library. A lot of college students come here given the proximity of the store to UCI and OCC. I visited yesterday and noticed they have a new Lychee series. It was really exciting for me because I'm obsessed with lychee. I got their lychee paired with our Four Season Tea and CUBE PEARL. Four Season Tea is a type of oolong. It was incredibly refreshing and I finished it before I even left the store lol. Will be coming back! Please keep this series on your menu forever! read more

As someone who loves trying new boba spots, I found one that might move close to my top favorites. I ordered the black sesame and added boba and coffee jelly and was amazed at how much I loved it. The black sesame flavor is strong while the coffee jelly adds a hint of a coffee taste that mixes surprisingly well. My complaint about a lot of boba shops is if the boba is overcooked but TP Teas bobas were great consistency. Definitely saw some other drinks I wanted to try so will be sure to return. read more

Came to TP Tea to try out their new lychee berry smoothie. We ordered on the kiosk and waited a few minutes for our drinks. There is limited seating. All of the drinks were subpar. The lychee berry smoothie didn't look as advertised, the strawberry was all at the bottom instead of mixed in. The lychee flavor was barely there. The black sesame fresh milk tasted like just milk with a hint of black sesame. The jasmine flavor wasn't strong in the jasmine milk tea either. TP Tea is usually consistent and good at making drinks, but we came at the last hour so they did not make the drinks well. Even so, consistency is important since there were still a lot of customers coming in when we were there. read more

After 2+ years of hearing about QQ noodles from my boba friends in OC, I was so excited to finally get to try. Got the 3Q TP Milk Tea: Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea with boba, QQ noodle, coffee jelly. The QQ noodle mouth feel is unusual at first but it gets nicer the more you eat it. I'm a believer. I also really like the milk tea flavor and coffee jelly. read more

Was driving past Irvine recently and wanted to pick up some boba on the way, so I decided to stop at TP Tea. I've been to other locations before but it was my first time here. I ordered via their website maybe 20 minutes before arriving at the store, but surprisingly it was ready within minutes. I was able to quickly grab and go when I arrived. I was very intrigued by their new sesame line of drinks, so I got the sesame iron goddess cube pearl milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice for $6.75. I'd say it was okay but not great. As someone who really likes the black sesame flavor, you can definitely taste it in the drink but it wasn't strong enough for me personally. I think I'll stick with their regular milk teas going forward... read more

I'm getting closer! If you've been following my recent reviews, you'd know that I'm currently on the hunt to find my new boba tea store since moving to the area. Man oh man. This store has amazing soft, chewy and fresh boba! The boba is consistently the perfect size for slurping and they don't get jammed for being too large. I love how there are self serving kiosks available too! I was able to adjust the sweetness to 80% and it was perfect!! Loved all the menu options and I'm really excited to come back soon! It reminded me of Ommo but without the crazy wait. read more

My favorite boba/tea place in OC! Love that they use fresh fruit and the tea flavor is always strong in every drink. My go to from is always the mango tea with lemon aiyu jelly but I also enjoy the lychee cube pearl tea and the seasonal emerald yuzu tea. The store is on the small side and there's not much seating, but it's more of a grab and go place. On busy days, the service can take a bit long though, but it's still always my go to! read more

TP Tea - Yuzu Emerald Fruit Tea, 純柚翡翠果茶 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I ordered the Tie Guan Yin milk tea with boba and QQ noodles, and a jasmine milk tea with QQ noodles. Both drinks were decent, and they're definitely generous with the toppings, but it felt like the toppings overpowered the tea itself. I'm also not a fan of the QQ noodles. The jasmine milk tea tasted a bit weak, which was a little disappointing. Overall, it didn't make the best first impression, especially since it came highly recommended by family. That said, I wouldn't mind coming back to try something different next time. read more

OVERALL : As soon as I walked in, I smelled the tea brewing and it was so fragrant! TP tea had a variety of fruit and milk teas, as well as both classic (tapioca pearls, lychee jelly, etc) and unique toppings (like QQ noodles and cube pearls): The self order tablets with photo menu makes it easy to order, and drinks came out quickly (granted it wasn't busy). I've tried a variety of menu items from here and they never disappoint! Tea is never bitter and drinks all feel "artisan" and not like a syrup/powder mix. PARKING : Parking lot with spots right in front of the shop. I've never had an issue finding parking here; plaza isn't super busy! FOOD/DRINKS : Fantastic Fruit Tea - Pineapple Juice, Jasmine Green Tea, Apple slice, Orange slice, and Chia Seeds -- we got 80 sweet and the pineapple juice wasn't too acidic / sour. Refreshing and pleasant esp for a hot summer day! Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea - 50 sugar was still perfectly sweet! Tea flavor was strong and the drink was creamy. Super enjoyable and nostalgic for me as a classic milk tea w chewy boba pearls! read more

TP Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I had my fair shares of boba places and this one is up there on my top 10 boba places to visit in Orange County. Let's start with the service. The service is quiet and simple. You have the option to order at the kiosk or at the cashier. Keep in mind tho for any modification like removing topping that's already included in any drink just know that you can not do that at the kiosk got to make sure to let the worker know on those kind of special request for people that doesn't like toppings in their drinks. But either then that it's very convenient especially if it's busy . Next the ambiance. The ambiance gives me that chill vibes kinda feel. There are seats and tables inside where you can sit and chat with friends and family while drinking your tea. Of course it's a bit small so don't expect to have a big group of friends to be able to sit. But again very chill and of course very very clean ! Thanks for that . Lastly , the boba ! Their boba is always great for this is my I think 3rd time trying this place and all the time their teas never seem to disappoint! Every time it's always refreshing and yummy ! Both my husband and I love this place because of how simple their teas are here . All and all their teas and milk teas are chefs kiss Thank you TP Tea for amazing experience , excellent customer service and yummy tea/milk tea drinks ‍ read more

This is one of my favorite boba franchise! Not many places offer QQ noodles and coupled with coffee jelly, their taiwan classic milk tea/3Q TP Milk Tea (already comes with those 2 toppings plus regular boba) is a must. Did venture and tried their strawberry latte matcha with QQ noodles today. Even at 30% sweetness, it was still a bit sweet for me so will have to remember to order it at 0% next time. Didn't get much of the milk/latte taste, but I prefer it that way. I still think the 3Q TP Milk Tea tops this, but it was a good alternative. There's 2 kiosks in stores, but unlike other stores in the bay that uses snackpass, you can order online with DoorDash or toast tab which I recommend since there can be a wait. read more

Great service, great options, 2 large screens to order from. I like their boba a lot but I'm not in LOVE with either any of the drinks until you MIX the tornado fully then you get this lovely creamy taste. The tie guan yin tornado was the best!! This is great for boba people who like more of the tea taste. The ambiance is good here. They have 6 chairs and a bench. They should add more so that kids can hang out here. read more

4.5 to be exact. I've had this place saved on my phone for several months to try. One day I had to be in the area for some medical work so I stopped by here. I ordered 2 drinks: a safe one which was their signature boba milk tea and their pineapple Green tea since that's my favorite fruit tea flavor. The employee did warn me the pineapple tea will have a blended/icy consistency and I decided to try it anyway. On the drive home I tried the pineapple tea. Yes, it's refreshing but the only tea flavor i got was from the tea jelly. The blended pineapple was icy but it tasted more like pineapple and water. I wouldn't mind the blended consistency if the drink itself had a stronger tea flavor. 3.9 stars. For the milk tea, it saved the day. I've been wondering where I can get good milk tea and I think TP has a really solid one. They are heavy on the boba but that's okay if you like boba. They are light on ice so im glad I asked for extra ice in this drink. All in all, their milk tea was delicious and if I was nearby I would come by for it again. read more

Jana was really helpful, I asked to split one of the strawberry smoothies with boba bc my two little girls can't finish a whole one and they would fight if it was on one cup. She gave me two cups and helped me out with it. I do highly recommend the Thai tea crème brûlée added boba, I did 80 percent sugar and to me that was good enough bc it was already sweet. Tasted like a cake in a drink with some Thai tea. I liked it. My husband got this taro pudding ice drink with boba with 80 percent sugar and it could've done better with 100 percent. So I just guess depends on the drink. It's super small inside, maybe like 7 chairs and 3 small tables, there's some benches I guess to wait for the drinks but it's definitely a place to grab and go. The little decorations are cute inside. I'd go again. read more

TP Tea always hits! But had to make an update as I'm still in the parking lot to say the new Sesame Noir series is SO GOOD. If you like black sesame tang yuan then you will like the drinks. Got the Black Sesame Tie Guan Yin/Iron Goddess with boba cubes w/ 15% sweet and it's so good (still kind of sweet tbh) but the flavor is really good, toasty and flavorful. The boba cubes are unique in its shape but the bite is similar to boba. Would come back just for this drink because it's so unique and hard to find at other boba places. Might try the other drinks in the Sesame Noir series next! PS: Whoever made the boba and QQ noodles being served on 3/15 around 3:20pm you a GOAT. It's the perfect texture!! read more

TP Tea - Taiwan Class Milk Tea & Black Sesame Iron Goddess Cube Pearl Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Classic Taiwanese style milk teas! I love their tieguanyin tea the most. They use a higher concentration of tea for their drinks which gives it a strong and heavy tea taste. At this location there are kiosks to order off of but you can also just order at the counter. Their boba is very pleasant, no complaints. You MUST try their QQ noodles. They add a unique texture that I think you'll love. read more

There's obviously no shortage of milk tea places in Orange County to choose from, but TP Tea has become one of my go-to spots, and a big reason is their QQ noodles (which I add to every drink I order). They have this super chewy, springy, bouncy texture that's like boba in short noodle form. I've tried a bunch of their teas, and some of the standouts include: the Green Tea Milk Tea (a staple, can't go wrong with it), Strawberry Milk Tea (if you're looking for something on the sweeter/fruitier side), or the the Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea (my favorite in terms of balance and depth) The shop is clean, easy to order from (there are two large digital kiosks to order from), and even when there's a line, drinks come out efficiently and quality stays high. Be sure to join their rewards program (all you need is a phone number) as you can often rack up enough points easily enough for $$$ off your next drink. read more

This was my second visit here and I appreciated TP Tea's consistency with their drinks and the unique options they have. I got the sesame goddess milk tea wjth light sweet and light ice. This drink is probably not everyone's cup of tea but as a big black sesame lover, this drink tasted so yummy. I also loved the boba cubes, it's the perfect chewiness. My friends loved their drinks as well. Service was so quick after we ordered. Will definitely be back here to satisfy my boba cravings :)winesstea read more

My favorite tea/boba place! They have a great variety of teas (crema, milk tea, uji matcha, blended drinks, etc) with lots of topping choices. Highly suggest ordering online through toast.com to save you on the wait. Haven't really interacted with the staff much, but every time I've ordered my drink has been there waiting for me. There isn't much space to sit and lounge around, it's more of an order your boba and leave type of place. My favorite is the Tie Guan Yin milk tea with boba. read more

My favorite from here is the tin guan yin oolong MT. Recommended sugar level is 50% or under as the drinks are pretty sweet. The milk tea is very creamy but the tea taste is still apparent. Service is efficient and the store also has a nice tea aroma :) read more

I saw a lot of good reviews for TP Tea Irvine. I ordered their milk tea and I thought it was just OK. To me it wasn't worth the hype. Service was great.

We came on a Sunday afternoon and it was so busy with in-person and online orders. Our drinks ended up taking a little longer, but super understandable.

One of my absolutel favorite spots for tea and boba! Delicious, great quality tea and toppings, easy ordering and clean space. This boba shop is located in a food plaza in Irvine. Everytime I am in Irvine, I always have to stop by haha. I am obsessed with their TGY and fantastic fruit tea. I love getting them at 50% and less ice but honestly their stuff isn't that sweet to begin with compared to other boba shops which I really like. I have tried a lot of toppings here including foam, boba, egg pudding and jelly and all are great with the drinks! The only thing I'll say is this spot is not a big location where you can really hang out and catch up, study as there's only enough room for a few people and one or two tables. But I think in the plaza you can probably find somewhere else to hang out with your drinks! read more

Was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the milk teas here! Ordered their new velvet jasmine milk tea - I love the jasmine flavor which is quite strong, 50% sugar was the perfect level of sweetness and I love how the drink is very creamy without the dairy overpowering the tea flavor. The boba also was nice and chewy with a subtle sweetness. Also ordered the sesame iron goddess drink which had the perfect delicious amount of sesame flavor (50% sweetness also perfect). Both of these were SO good and highly recommend (especially sesame drink if you love black sesame!) read more

TP Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

A relatively spacious and cute shop, but they do have limited seating (two little tables with maybe two chairs each). Parking is shared as it's in a little plaza, but as far as I see, it's not usually busy to a point where it's difficult to find parking (I normally go at night). They have self-order kiosks, so I can't say much about service other than it's quite quick for the drinks to come out. Got their TGY Family Milk Tea. It comes with boba, coffee jelly, and pudding. - TGY Family Milk Tea: I normally get this with 100% sweetness, which I thought was perfect before, but decided this time that I'd try 80% sweetness. 80% sweetness was actually perfect for me and may be my new go-to sweetness level here. This drink was more milky than tea, but you can still taste the tea. The toppings are usually more of a textural addition for me as it automatically comes with boba, coffee jelly, and pudding. Their boba was okay, not the best and maybe even a little tough for my taste. The coffee jelly this time felt like there's no coffee flavor but did have a great firm jelly texture. The pudding was the average boba shop pudding, and I found it to be the best pairing topping for this drink. This is a good drink option if you want to try several toppings in one drink. Overall, I'd recommend this place! This is a cute shop with consistently good drinks for appropriate pricing for its quality. I think that this is one of the more solid boba shops around lately, so it is always an option for me when I'm in the area. Worth the stop! read more

Thank goodness that I trusted my instincts to pick 80% sweetness - my taro drink is De!li!cious!!! My partner's sesame drink looked very mysterious with the black paper cup (creative!), and it's just as tasty. He picked 80% also but said he'll try it in full 100% sweetness next time if it's still available. I love that I get to decide when I want to shake the drink and mix up the texture for each sip. Overall a very yummy experience! read more
