TP tea is definitely my go-to for quality milk teas and toppings. I'm so happy that this one opened near my work! It's took over Soma Tea and is right across from KFC. Parking is a hit or miss depending on the time and day. My favorite is the TGY milk tea with either grass jelly, tea jelly, pudding, or crystal boba. The lychee strawberry smoothie is also good! It's the one boba shop I can rely on to be consistent. Service was fairly quick the few times I've been here and there are some seating located inside of the store. read more

A friend notified me that this branch had a sale, so I decided to go here. The line was far too long when it opened initially, so I just waited out until they had another sale. I think it used to be where the Soma used to be. In comparison to the branch closer to the airport, one can tell that the clientele that shows up here is different, as there was a greater presence of kids here which were disruptive to my ability to order and move to some extent. One even pressed random buttons on the kiosk and racked up a $62 bill for no good reason which they didn't complete. Luckily the order timed out so the next person could use the kiosk. I ordered with a human cashier since the offer required me to order verbally and use Instagram. I think they understood me well enough to get my order right. I put in my rewards number on their cash register as well for points. It came out relatively fast since there was no crowd. The drink tasted good as well. Parking in this plaza isn't that easy to do. There are a lot of PokéStops and Pokémon GO gyms in the plaza as well if one needs to play while waiting. read more

Tasty! I was glad to see that their drinks and menu are consistent with their other locations. Everything tasted amazing, and they have a huge variety to choose from. My mom is crazy picky when it comes to her boba drink, but she really enjoyed the TGY Family Milk Tea! Be sure to adjust the sweetness level of the drinks to your liking -- I recommend 50% for everything! * TGY Family Milk Tea: 10/10 - yummy toppings and good flavor * Lychee Aloe Fruit Tea: 10/10 - just the way I like my lychee teas * Passion Fruit Green Tea: 7/10 - tea itself was a bit more sour than expected * Boba: 8/10 - soft and chewy but smaller than we would like The shop is located in the popular Arbor Village Center, so parking will be quite difficult. The workers were very friendly and welcoming, even though they were very busy at the time. The interior also has a booth and some tables to sit at, but I don't recommend it for large groups. Compared to the other boba shops in the area, their prices are pretty reasonable, and we didn't have to wait too long for our drinks. We'll definitely be back if we're ever in the area! read more

TP Tea is, more or less, a pretty average boba stop. This TP Tea is in a decently busy plaza which is also home to many other boba related places, so in general, it's hard to stand out when the area is jam-packed. The selection is extremely diverse, however, with a menu that has a *ton* of options to choose from. That is pretty nice itself, but other than that, I'm not too keen on the location. I ordered a boba milk tea and mango ice tea because of the opening promotion, but I wasn't that big of a fan of the boba milk tea itself. In my opinion, the milk and tea didn't exactly go together, which is strange to say, but I found it a bit... different I guess. The mango ice tea was better, but the boba milk tea was off when I had it, so I'm a bit skeptical. read more

I came during soft opening and I have to say I really missed TP Tea and they delivered There is just something about walking into a boba shop, ordering in person, and getting your drink in like five minutes. Lately it feels like everywhere else you either wait forever or have to order ahead super early and pick up and the staff inside look super stressed the whole time. TP Tea stays consistent with their super efficient process and I love that, especially during a soft opening. I got the yuzu emerald tea with the QQ noodles and it had great yuzu flavor. I think quality is pretty consistent with the other TP Tea in irvinez This location took over the old Soma spot in the plaza and it is super cute. There are about four tables and even a comfy couch if you want to sit and sip for a bit. And of course the little boba guy logo is still adorable as always read more

We came to this plaza for another reason and were beyond excited when we saw TP Tea in the corner! My husband and I first tried this place in Vegas, and it became our "go to" spot for milk tea up there. Parking was effortless the day we came (soft opening), and the staff was welcoming when we entered. You can order at the kiosk or at the counter. Cute interior which isn't too big, but there are a few tables and chairs inside. Order up: Strawberry Milk Tea (w/ boba) Black Milk Tea Tasted just as great here in Irvine as it did in Vegas! LOL. CHEERS till next time... read more

Steep Thoughts: Florence's Quest for (Her) Perfect Black Milk Tea Black milk tea: 1.5/2. I got the Milk Tea, less ice, 30% sweet. This is an excellent standard black milk tea, creamy and smooth with a mild and slightly caramel-y flavor. It's a little sweet for what I would expect 30% to be, but not overwhelmingly so. Other drinks: 1/1. Good variety of milky and fruity teas, including some specialty teas like Tieguanyin and a few hot and non-caffeinated drink options. Ambiance: 1/1. Simple and functional shop with several tables, chairs, and booth-style seats. No WiFi that I can see, but otherwise a good place to work if you can grab a seat. There's even an outlet under one of the booths! Service: 0.5/1. Order via two digital kiosks or at the counter. I went during the soft opening period, so there was a bit of a wait for my drink. Hopefully things will speed up as the shop becomes established; there's a lot of competition when it comes to boba shops in this plaza and the one across the street. Total: 4/5 read more

I'm really happy that another TP Tea opened in Irvine. They serve great milk tea. Food: The milk tea that they serve is very good. I usually order 30 % sugar so it isn't too sweet. Service: The drinks usually come out in a decent time. Ambiance: The decor inside is nice. read more

This is the second location of TP Tea! The original one we've gone to is off Main St in Irvine. This is in the same plaza as KFC and Sunright, directly across from HeyTea. The drinks only one in one size and range from $7-8 . They have self-service kiosks and a modern ambiance. The drinks are customizable and I would recommend the Family Milk Tea if you want a little of everything. Adjust the ice to less, 50% or less sweetness since the toppings are sweetened and you have a sweet treat! Their pudding tastes custardy, coffee jelly has a nice chew, and the boba is smaller than normal but great texture. read more

Came here on a Saturday 7 pm for their grand opening promo BOGO and the wait wasn't too bad. From lining up to getting my drink, it only took 25 minutes. They were out of some toppings but I was still able to order from their BOGO selection. I got the Tie Guan Yin milk tea with boba. The tea flavor is great, with a good balance of the milk. Their boba today was also really good, nice and chewy! Other times I've gotten boba from their other location, it was a bit hard and no flavor, so this was a nice change! I also got their Fantastic fruit tea which comes with basil seeds. It has a good citrus flavor, not too sour. The description does say it comes with apple slices but mine only came with orange slices. Not sure if it was an error or they ran out, but it was still a good drink! So glad they opened another TP Tea! read more

Just opened recently, the tea drinks here taste great, good value and nice size. I especially like their Yuzu emerald fruit tea and their 4 seasons. It's a good place for good tea with boba. read more

New TP location that isnt very crowded and they do online ordering which is always a plus. There's a lot of boba options just in this plaza and the one across the street, but I feel TP tea is still the best option. Most of their drinks are good, especially their mango milk tea. Boba is always consistently good. read more

Their TGY teas are a must get - it's like a roasted oolong, and the flavor is robust. Their matches lattes are decent, but their TGY teas are standout. Located off to the side of the Arbor Plaza, near KFC side read more

Came here on a weekend with my friends after playing PoGo, and was excited to try out a new tea spot. The shop itself was the modern boba shop look, with an organic feel to it. There's some seating, but definitely more of a pick up spot. I saw that they had a wintermelon tea, and opted to get that. We ordered on the kiosk, and waited maybe 5-10 minutes for our drinks. The wintermelon tea is different from the one I'm used to from Boiling Point. TP's drink felt richer and almost chocolatey/mocha-y, and I wasn't a huge fan of it. I did try my other friend's drink, which was one of the yuzu lemonade specials that they had. That one was so good and refreshing! It was slightly carbonated, and the little fruit jelly bits at the bottom made it so tasty! It's located across from the HeyTea plaza, but luckily parking wasn't difficult at all! read more

This place is nice, quick and friendly staffs. I ordered boba milk tea and TGY family milk tea. Both are good but I will go for TGY to my taste. This is a nice place to hang out with friends. read more

Inconsistent promotion policy and unfair treatment. I was accused of visiting before without any evidence.

Good service, good drinks, nice, new, updated and spacious inside. Really accessible location in Irvine on Jeffrey. Would come back again!

I stopped by for their soft opening and tried the Lychee Berry Smoothie. It was delicious and came out quickly. I am so happy they opened another location in Irvine because it's my favorite tea spot! read more

Really fast service, great drinks, and if you order no ice they fill it all the way up. Really love their taro paste as a choice for toppings! read more

I visited TP Tea for the first time to try their BOGO sesame drinks promotion and completed my purchase, but the experience left me both uncomfortable and disturbed. While I was there, I witnessed another customer trying to redeem the same BOGO offer. The senior staff member (who appeared to be a manager or owner) told her she had bought yesterday and cannot get BOGO Free purchase today. Thankfully, she was able to proceed only because her mom was there and hadn't bought before. What stood out to me was how strict and closely tracked the promotion seemed. The manager/owner actually remembers customers' faces, which made the whole situation even more uneasy and honestly, ridiculous. There were other people there witnessing the incident as well. As for the drinks, they were just okay--Considering the price point of $7+ per drink. I've never experienced such tight restrictions on a BOGO promotion at other boba shops, where the focus is usually on letting customers enjoy and try different flavors so they'll come back. Overall, I won't be returning after this experience. It doesn't feel like a sustainable way to run a business, as how customers are treated directly impacts whether they return. With multiple boba shops in the area, customer experience matters more than ego. read more

Poor review is for making it difficult to customize drinks. This is the only place that pre-determines toppings with their drinks. Most other tea spots allow you to select your topping. When I asked if I can replace a cubed boba with black boba, their response was you can delete the topping and pay to add boba. Why would anyone pay more? Most places will substitute no problem. read more
