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

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.

mochi oreo super orange osmanthus oolong milk tea

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.

Floral black milk tea with brown sugar boba (that I inhaled)
Joyce Y.

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.

Do they offer dairy free milk subsitutes?

Not for all drinks, but yes, for drinks like milk teas, there's oat milk for an additional cost.

On such a hot day. I was craving something fresh and nutritious after church…read more My Yelp friends led me here, and when I first walked in, there was a little bit of a line which I usually interpret as a good sign. I spent about $14 for an açai bowl their tropical mango bowl I believe. I had some modifications since I didn't like the raw coconut offering or the banana so I opted for sliced almonds and extra mango with almond butter on top. After waiting a few minutes, looking at the bowl, it didn't look like much and sadly it didn't taste like much either. The almond butter was globed on top and made it really difficult to eat. After bypassing the almond butter I was able to get into the açai which was way too sweet. I'm not sure what type of açai they use, but it did not taste like a freshly prepared açai it tasted more artificial and overly sweet. It may have also been sweet because of the honey I believe they put on top of it. The combination of the açai with the honey and then almond butter was way too sweet. The mango was OK not as firm as I would want it to be and the granola was at the bottom at the bowl and also sprinkled on top, but unfortunately it was the worst acai bowl I've ever had. Parking is free and they do offer a few seats inside. The staff was also really nice but unfortunately, if I do decide to come back maybe I'll try a smoothie instead.

I ve been going to Tastea since back in old days at "The Block" in Orange. But this location has…read morebecome our go-to when we're in OC. The location is small and they recently took out the interior tables too. They haven't changed their overall look in a while, which is somewhat comforting. I'm actually reviewing this for the Earl Grey Milk Tea but here is my all go-to's. Karate Chicken - 5 Star- If I'm even the slightest bit hungry we get an order. We've gone with #2 spice for years, very good heat that builds slowly. Crunchy, juicy and actually seasoned, this is what I compare other "popcorn" chicken to. Watermelon Heaven - 5 Star - This is a seasonal drink but they use fresh watermelon blended with ice for an amazing slushie. I get it "1/2 Sweet" when I order. iI's the best drink for hot weather. Black Iced Tea - 3 Star - I'm particular about the types of black tea that I consider good. The stronger the better, so Tastea black tea is on the light side for me. Earl Grey Milk Tea - 5 Star - I'm not sure if this is in their rotation but it just became my new favorite. The Earl Grey flavor is very forward and the non dairy creamer as the standard was perfect. .

However, after this last experience, I am sad to say I will no longer be a customer for this establishment. The service is friendly and quick, so while I appreciate that, I do not appreciate the changes they have made with drink customizations. As someone that is unable to drink cold stuff (iced) due to health reasons, I always ask for no ice so I would be able to enjoy the drink immediately, as opposed to having to wait until it becomes room temperature. If I'm already paying $7.80 for a 32oz, should I not be entitled to tea totalling 32oz? Apparently not. Please refer to my photo for what I received. The cup was basically 1/4 empty- considering the top is wider than the bottom. Tastea used to be able to accommodate no ice without an extra surcharge, so I suppose this is shrinkflation at its finest. Why should I need to pay $0.50-0.80 more for my drink to be filled where it's supposed to be filled? I'm already paying $7.80 for the tea! $7.80/32oz = $0.24/oz. I am sure my drink is missing more than just 2oz of tea. I will no longer be a customer.

I tried their Coconut Mango Boom which is a blend of fresh mango slush, creamy coconut milk, chewy sago (tapioca pearls), and coconut jelly.

Just like you, hard to believe why a simple pick-up situation can turn into such a chaos. It should be as simple as showing up at the counter, grab and go. Don't save money - hire a store manager so mistakes like these don't happen. --- I ordered via app and the drinks were ready for more than 30 mins. Yet I was not able to pick up because they wanted everyone waited at the pick up line. 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 was intrigued when I saw they specialize in pennywort drinks, which you don't come across often. I went with the P2 for a more traditional take, while my friend ordered the #4, their most popular drink. It's a beautifully layered mix of pennywort juice, taro and ube, coconut milk, pandan jelly, and chia seed jelly. Both drinks were impressive. Clean flavors, not overly sweet, and very ingredient-forward. The textures in the #4 especially made it stand out. Service was efficient and welcoming. Pricing leans higher, but the quality and uniqueness justify it. Definitely a spot I'd return to.
