    Crunchy watermelon
    Amy L.

    Gets busy on weekends. I like trying their seasonal drinks (hoping silky green makes a comeback). Limited seating inside but there's some chairs right outside too.

    Left to right: Floral black milk tea with mochi, osmanthus latte, mochi mango
    Angela C.

    If you like mochi as a topping, I'd say 3CAT does it best. There is usually always a line here, but you can usually order on snackpass too to avoid the line. I got the Floral black tea latte with mochi, mochi mango and osmanthus oolong latte. The Floral black tea is like the name suggests, Floral taste but it does complement the black tea well. Their mango drinks are always good, strong and fresh mango flavor! It was my first time getting their osmanthus too and I was pleasantly surprised at the tea taste you get, highly recommend if you like osmanthus! There's not too much seating indoors but it's by the District plaza so plenty of outdoor seating available. Since they are popular, do expect a wait if you come on a weekend.

    There is no shortage of boba spots in Orange County so it takes some creativity to stand out from the rest! 3C:at always has very unique drink offerings outside of the classic milk teas and slushes. The interior seating area at this location is spacious and well kept. Music isnt too loud, and the crowd is always respectful. The employees are quick with pushing drinks out. You order from a self serve kiosk and they call your name/number when your order is ready!

    Love 3CAT! The long line here is a good indication of their drink quality. I haven't tried the regular milk tea/tea offerings here but I can vouch for some of their fun drinks option. My favorites are the rice frost (not pictured), avomango, and the green grape-pear drink. Some of them could be an acquired taste (i.e: rice frost drink, with chestnut boba) but their creative combinations are so fun to explore. There are some seatings inside and plenty more outside. It could be a little bit of a wait (depending on when you go) but it is quite worth it for me.

    We heard about this place from a relative so my sister and I decided to give it a try. You order through digital screens, but when we went, there was only one working so the line does get long after a while. The interior of the place is very cute though and it's cat-themed. I got the osmanthus oolong milk tea and I really liked the tea flavor and it wasn't too sweet. Then, I tried my sister's drink which was the mochi oreo. Personally, I'm not a mochi fan, so I thought it was okay. Other than that, the drinks do come out relatively fast, which was good.

    Another boba place?(!!!!) This one is interesting with pear jelly and barley popping boba, and their milk teas were perfect. My cousin and I were quite pleased with both of our drinks, and I will definitely be back, when in the area. (The District has bad parking, but it has lots of good places, including Whole Foods and HomeGoods!) We ordered via Uber Eats, so I'm unsure of the service and ambiance, but a boba place about cats? As a cat lady, I'm all in. There is only 1 location in the OC, so definitely try it.

    Had the service been better, 3CAT would have been a 5 star. I never have issues with the drinks and I think they offer unique options. I like every drink I've ever had from here and like to stop by when I'm in the area. My issue is with the customer service. Whenever I am there for an online order, staff ignore guests trying to pick up, even though they're right in front of them. They also don't greet you or say anything really. Between waiting 10 minutes for the staff to acknowledge me (while trying to get their attention) , and having a conversation with myself to get my drink, the whole place feels very unwelcoming.

    Mango mochi & Soybean Dragon Well
    Leyna N.

    Drinks- Mochi Mango & Soybean Dragon well Both drinks are just okay but not overly wow. Mango mochi was still icy with ice chips, mochi texture is whatever. Soybean dragon well was just alright with boba. I wouldn't come back or crave it, but service was really quick with our order!

    Avomango Dew
    Andy P.

    Their drinks here are delicious! When it comes liquid sugar, the old standards have their rights and ways but the newer generation introduce texture to a whole new level. Selection wise, you'll have a decent list and choice to choose from on their two tablets. They are quite automated and order announcements are all electronic. You have a QC person to ensure drinks are delivered properly which is quite nice and streamlined. Service behind this process is friendly and quick. Inside can get a bit loud depending on time of day. It's bright and has a few areas for seating in the back. Avomango is the choice for me. What will you choose?

    Been wanting to try this place for so long and finally have! My friend and I arrived around 1:45pm on a Monday afternoon. It wasn't busy so they made our drinks very fast. We ordered the mochi barley burst and the mochi matcha. I had the mochi matcha and it was good! I love the rice mochi in the drink. I got mine less sweet and it was good but I wish the matcha flavor was a bit stronger. Overall a good place! I hope to come back and try their other drinks :-)

    Mango Mochi
    Andrew D.

    Great boba spot! Located in the middle of the District, this boba joint provides delightful refreshments and a wide selection to choose from. They have slushies, milk teas, fruit teas, etc. The shop's ambiance is akin to your typical boab shop, nothing out of the ordinary there. The ordering system is via tablet and you can customize to your liking including sweetness, ice level and additional toppings. We got the mango Mochi and avomango sweet dew, the two most popular drinks. They were both great! Jam packed full of toppings and real mango bits, both drinks were nice and sweet but not too heavy. Personally, I likes the avomango sweet dew more because it became more consistent in texture after a bit of mixing. Recommend for those in this plaza looking for a pleasant refreshment!

    3 Cat in Tustin is officially a new fave The Chestnut Matcha was creamy and nutty with a smooth matcha finish. The Jade Matcha tasted fresh, earthy, and high quality with no bitterness. The Avomango Honeydew was refreshing, fruity, and perfectly balanced. Not overly sweet and everything felt intentional. If you love unique tea flavors, this spot is worth it.

    Mango mochi
    Erin T.

    Love love love!! I got the mango mochi drink & it was amazing. It tasted like mango sticky rice in a frozen drink!! It was blended well, the mochi was the perfect texture, and the mango puree was great! Also, the cat theme is just adorable. 10000% recommend.

There was a short line to order, and our drinks came out just a few minutes later. I ordered my usual, the Ube Cheese Foam Slush, and it was as good as always. It's smooth, creamy, and definitely on the sweeter side, so I usually come here to get it as a dessert or smoothie rather than a traditional tea. The cheese foam adds a slightly salty finish that balances the sweetness really well. We also tried the Peach Yogurt Yakult. The Yakult flavor came through nicely, and it wasn't overly sweet. The only complaint was the peach pieces. They settled at the bottom and didn't really blend with the drink, even after stirring. If I were to order it again, but I could do without the peach bits. The shop has a good amount of seating. Most people were chatting with friends, but there were also a few people working on laptops, so it's a place where you can either hang out or get some work done. Service was friendly, and one small detail is that I always appreciate their to-go bags. They're sturdy and insulated, making carrying multiple drinks much easier. Overall, it's one of my favorite boba spots, and I'd definitely keep coming back, especially for the Ube Cheese Foam Slush.

There were 30-40 drinks waiting on the shelf yet they didn't have a good organization in place to quickly match the order with the right drinks. No employee called out any number. People who ordered at the store (not the app) don't have a good way to know if their drinks are ready unless they went back and forth from the end of the line and went back to the store to check on the screen. So even when their order isn't ready, they went to the line and wait, making the line stuck. No manager on site - no one tried to manage the line. Most employees were heads down making their drinks at the back, minding their own business. No self pick up area. The drinks melted and the milk could go bad. People waited in the sun and suffered.

I stood there awkwardly for several minutes while employees walked around behind the counter without saying a word. Eventually, I noticed two ordering screens mounted on the wall. Since it was my first visit, I wasn't aware that orders had to be placed there. I asked an employee, "Is that the only way to place an order?" and was simply told, "Yes, you can order there." There was no greeting, explanation, or attempt to help a first-time customer. I almost walked out because the interaction felt so unfriendly and uncomfortable, but since I was already there, I decided to order anyway. I got a Thai milk tea with boba, and it was fine, but nothing memorable or worth going out of my way for. The drink itself wasn't the issue. What really left a bad taste in my mouth was the lack of customer service and basic acknowledgment. A simple "Welcome in" or "You can order at the kiosk" would have made a huge difference. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I don't see myself returning.
