How have I never reviewed 7 Leaves before? I think I've been a loyal customer since I was in elementary school haha. It's just always a reliable place to go if you're craving a simple milk tea and want fast service. A lot of the times I visit, they're done making my drink before I've even finishing paying! I now mainly use the 7 Leaves app, which is even faster and great because I get points. The assam milk tea here has seen every high and low of mine over the last ten years. Sometimes I venture out and get the taro or jasmine milk tea, and the secret menu black & tan (jasmine milk tea+vietnamese coffee) is also really good. I alternate between grass jelly and aloe topping here. read more

I went to 7 leaves cafe because I had a reward on the app so decided to try it out. I ordered on the app which was pretty easy. There was a drink I wanted but it was out of stock so I ordered the house coffee iced. It was actually good, I enjoyed it. I did notice when I went in to pick up that the food shelves were empty so that was a bummer. There were only a few macaroons and it was 9am. Other than that, it was good and would come back. read more

Have not been back to 7 leaves in a while. I didn't realize that their taro drink is made from fresh taro daily! It was absolutely the best taro drink I've had in OC. You can taste the chunks of taro and the natural smooth and flavorful taro milk. Boba is made to perfection with just the right amount of chewiness. Only complaint would be too sweet for my personal taste even when reducing all sugar as in. But I'm sure it's fine for most people. read more

Did you know that coffee spelled backwards was eeffoc? Yea..just know that I don't give eeffoc until I've had my coffee. -_- LOL Was seriously in need of a pick-me-upper today, so where did I go??? My go-to local 7 leaves ofc. I particularly LOVE this Irvine location because it's conveniently located uber close to my home; in the Arbor Village Center, on the corner of Jeffrey & Walnut (near Sunmerry bakery & Taiko). I can literally go in & out quickly and efficiently. The staff is always uber nice and the vibe is so chill. It allows me to get-on with my day with a pep in my step! Shhh..I personally am usually in the mood for the off-the menu/semi-secret for those who know..you know..black & tan with grass jelly. It's a MUST TRY! #trust It's just the perfect blend of half coffee/half tea, for days when I don't wanna commit to a heavy dose of caffeine. Also depending on my need for alertness, I sometimes add an extra shot of expresso. My other favs are their House Coffee ~ for those days I NEED a stronger go get 'em kick. Its nutty, smooth taste, just hits all the right spots..if you know what I mean. And I definitely hit up my Viet Coffee when I need to get sh*t done. IYKYK..viet coffee is like liquid crack. You will be jumping the walls and knocking items off your to-do list in no time. LOL Lastly, for days when I crave tea..sea cream Jasmine tea (plus or minus boba) is where it's at!!! That good quality Jasmine tea satisfies all your boba taste buds every time. Totally not bitter tasting at all. It's the perfect sweetness too, IMO. Pro Yelp/RxFoodie tip: Don't forget to sign-up & use your 7 leaves app to collect them "leaves" (aka points) for your purchases. Save up your leaves to redeem for goodies!!! 55 leaves gets you a free 20 oz drink or macarons at 20 leaves. AND you can earn exclusive offers, including birthday freebies or other special deals. #thankmelaters CHEERS!!! read more

This 7Leaves location is pretty small and doesn't have seating inside, but it's good as a to go spot. We always order on the app for pickup and the drinks are done really fast. They have a section in the store for pickup drinks and they're set down alphabetically. We got our go to drinks: the house coffee and the green thai tea. Drinks are pretty consistent here and we appreciate how we're in and out really fast. read more

If 7 Leaves has a million fans, then I am one of them. If 7 Leaves has ten fans, then I am one of them. If 7 Leaves has only one fan then that is me. If 7 Leaves has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against 7 Leaves, then I am against the world. personal recommendations/preferences: jasmine milk tea -- used to be my regular. they have an item on the secret menu thats jasmine mt + caramel which is really good. strawberry hibiscus tea -- very good, very refreshing. amazing on a hot summer's day. perfect with aloe vera. herbal tea -- good for when you want something sweet but feel guilty about it. amazing with grass jelly. thai tea -- a classic. 7 leaves does thai tea especially well in my experience. perfect level of sweetness every time. my new regular. green thai tea -- first time trying it today. more floral (jasmine base) than regular thai tea, but just as good. read more

I got the black and tan and ordered on the app. On the app there is no option for easy sweet so I went in store and they said they can do that for me. The drink still came out more sweet that I usually like, but it was still tasty. I also got boba which probably also contributed to the sweetness. The Boba itself is nice and chewy. 7 leaves will always be a SoCal classic for me. The barista was super nice and was great overall. Inside is also clean. read more

A good location for drinks that is consistent with the rest of the chain. The shopping center that it's located in can be very crowded at times, but this location is in the corner where it's a little bit less crowded. There's no seating available and the interior is fairly small. The drinks are consistent with the rest of the chain and have very good flavor. The sunset passion is on the more tart side for drinks, but it's very refreshing on a hot day. The boba is cooked well and was a good addition to the drink. read more

It was a very small shop but it's located in a small mall and right by freeway. it does not havre a place to sit down but boba was great !

My newest boba obsession is 7 Leaves! I usually get a jasmine milk tea easy sweet, but recently tried their Thai iced tea and it was amazed!

How much ice do they need to put in a cup. What's the point of getting a large when they just fill it up higher with ice. However, the staff were polite and drink was good. read more

stopped by 7 leaves for a strawberry rio rosa and hot taro milk tea--both solid and satisfying. the rio rosa was super pretty and refreshing, a little on the sweeter side but still enjoyable. the taro was warm, creamy, and gave total comfort drink vibes always a quick and reliable spot for a midday pick-me-up. drinks came out fast, the staff was friendly, and the space is clean and lowkey--perfect for grabbing a drink and dipping. love that you know exactly what you're getting every time read more

You can never go wrong with 7 Leaves! Their drinks are as consistent as they come. This location on Jeffrey is in a pretty busy plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, this one has no seating so it definitely is more of a grab and go spot. You can place orders online and grab it at the pick up shelf they have or order inside with a staff member. For this review's boba run, I got a spread of the Assam Milk Tea, Oolong Milk Tea, Mung Bean Milk Tea, and the Tea Rex! I would definitely recommend checking out some of their secret menu items! All of the staff here are very friendly and efficient. After I ordered, my drinks came out in less than 10 minutes. read more

This review focuses on the false advertisement versus the product itself. Yesterday and today, the store promoted a special offering for their new Masala Chai. My friend went yesterday and raved about it, so another friend called the store this morning to confirm if the free Masala Chai deal was still valid, as their social media didn't show the offer for the second day. They were told, "Yes! They sure are free today!" I arrived around 7:55 AM to take advantage of the offer, only to be told in-store that I needed to order another item to get the free drink. This was completely different from what I was told on the phone earlier. I left, feeling confused and disappointed. Later, my friend's father went to the same location and ordered the Masala Chai. When he asked why he was being charged, he was informed that the drink was, in fact, free without requiring a purchase. Now, I have to ask--was I racially profiled? I'm Pakistani, and despite the earlier confirmation of the free drink, I was told I needed to buy something else. Yet, an older Asian man who arrived later in the same day received the drink for free. It feels like there may be some sort of selection going on, based on ethnicity. This kind of treatment is deeply troubling and suggests that the store may be making decisions about who gets the offer based on their appearance or background. It's disappointing and raises questions about their customer service practices. read more

Great customer service this morning!!! Thanks to the front dude who gave me a free sample of the jasmine salty foam. Your kindness goes a long way my dude! Keep it up and spread it in these crazy times!! Also just a nice location to grab a quick tea right off the freeway :) -Dana read more

We placed an order for 2 Thai drinks online. They got them out quick and the correct drinks. Normally I'm not picky I'll still eat my food it doesn't taste good. However this time around I couldn't finish my drink. I ordered less sweetened and my drink was so sweet. It's like I was drinking a cup of sugar with light tea no joke. It was overwhelmingly sweet. What made it worse was the boba for my wife and I was hard and seemed to be uncooked (I'm not sure of how boba is processed forgive my ignorance). It wasn't chewy but just very firm. Not good drinks at all. Hope you guys figure out the sweetness of your drinks get the boba right. read more

Steep Thoughts: Florence's Quest for (Her) Perfect Black Milk Tea Black milk tea: 1.5/2. I almost always get the Assam Milk Tea, easy ice, easy sweet. The drink has a roasted, malty, almost chocolate-y taste with a very creamy mouthfeel and is not at all bitter. The flavor of each drink is also very consistent between locations. If you generally like less sweet drinks, though, 7 Leaves drinks will likely be too sweet. Other drinks: 0.5/1. My mom and husband like the Mung Bean Milk Tea, although it definitely needs to be easy sweet. My friends love the coffee drinks, especially the House Coffee and its seasonal variations. Drinks tend to be consistent in flavor between locations, but all drinks can verge on too sweet. Ambiance: 0.5/1. This location is definitely more of a grab-and-go place. No seating inside. There is an open refrigerator to the right of the entrance that is designed for mobile order pickup, as well as a single bathroom in the back right corner. Service: 1/1. Order at the counter inside or online using their app. There is a reward system that allows you to get a free drink for every 12 or so drinks you order. Drinks are made pretty quickly. Total: 3.5/5 read more

7 leaves is always solid!! Highly recommend the green thai milk tea or the mung bean milk tea. The only cons is this location is probably in the worst spot. Parking is tough as there are so many other restaurants here and parking is very very limited. Also the inside of the store is tiny so if there's a line everyone's cramped in here like sardines waiting to order or waiting for their drink. The staff do their best to get everyone in n out, but it's just awkwardly a small space. Not great to study at vs other 7 leaves locations read more

This review is on the drinks themselves, not the service, which was great. We went to another 7 leaves near by a few weeks ago and had a negative experience, and thought we would give this location a try. But we wish we had not. We ordered a matcha tea with extra sweet, and the drink tasted bland like oatmilk with with no green tea taste or sweetening at all. And the other drink we got, jasmine green tea with boba, was not jasmine green tea flsvor and tasted flat, bland, mixed with other nasty flavors, and half the large bottle was filled with ice. I would not recommend this place. read more

Highly recommend the coffee drinks here if you need to stay up late! They can add up to 6 shots for free, or if you want your drink less sweet. I got the house coffee with 1 extra shot, and thought it was the perfect amount of sweetness and foam/cream on top. The cashier was also friendly and patient when explaining the differences in their drinks :) read more

Emme was the sweetest and her customer service was amazing! Thank you Emme for making our night a little more bright! :)

Love stopping by for their mung bean milk tea! Great to order on the app and pick up. This is a rather small location so dont expect to come and hang out to enjoy your drink. It's definitely more of a pick up and go. I will say, I feel like every time i come to this location it's always so warm inside. Either the AC is broken or the airflow isn't great.. It makes me feel bad for the workers. read more

I've been going to 7 Leaves for nearly two years now, and I genuinely drive out of my way every single day just to stop by--that's how good they are. Not only are the drinks consistently delicious (no matter who's making them or what day I go), but the staff is truly what sets this place apart. Every visit feels personal. The team always greets me with a smile, and they go out of their way to make me feel seen and appreciated. A few days ago, I placed a quick mobile order and didn't even think twice about it. Minutes later, I got a call from 7 Leaves--they noticed I usually get oat milk in my drink and wanted to confirm if I meant to choose regular milk this time. That kind of attention to detail and genuine care? Rare. That's real customer service! read more

7 Leaves Café at Diamond Jamboree in Irvine is one of my favorite spots for tea and coffee. The shop is clean, bright, and conveniently located in the busy plaza, with a lively atmosphere and a line that moves quickly even during peak hours.​ The drinks are consistently excellent. The mung bean milk tea, house coffee, and Thai teas are rich and smooth, and the boba always has a great chewy texture. There are also good options if you prefer less sweetness or non-dairy, so it's easy to get your drink exactly the way you like it.​ I especially want to recognize Tanner for outstanding customer service. He is friendly, patient, and professional, and he always double-checks orders and offers helpful suggestions. Service like that makes the experience feel welcoming and is a big reason I keep coming back to this 7 Leaves location. read more

I love the Summer Mint drink and the House coffee! They keep me coming back. Service tends to be quick and I've never had a bad experience here. The inside is a pickup style are no seating but that's fine with me. read more

I found this place when I was going through the busy parking lot looking for somewhere to get coffee and at the very end before the last exit was 7 Leaves Cafe. I believe I parked illegally in front of the cafe but everyone else was doing it and I knew I wouldn't be there long. I ordered the hot Vietnamese coffee and it was SO good! Perfect amount of sweetness and strong coffee and customer service was great. They had many to go orders, some with 12-25 drinks at a time but my coffee was done in no time. I'd come by again when I visit my friend who lives in the area. read more

This is one of my top 3 boba places in Orange County!!! Their assam milk tea is my favorite. Their milk and sweetness balance is just right and the boba is always warm and fresh which is how I like it. They don't have a confusing, extensive menu with tons of options like other places do, but the reason I come to 7 Leaves is because of their simplicity and consistency. Every time I order my usual assam milk tea I say to myself wow! why do I even go to other boba tea places? The store is very small but this is the type of place where you just grab your drink to go. read more

The Thai tea that they have is very good! And also a for a great price as well. The staff was very nice and the service was quick as well. It's a small little spot so the parking isn't always the best but other than that it is very good. I would recommend it as well read more

I have been to other 7 Leaves shops with employees that were uninviting to say the least. Unlike those stores, the workers welcomed me with bright smiles. I was assisted in finding the drink I wanted as well as navigating the "secret menu". Although it was close to closing, my drink tasted amazing and was made in rapid time. Since it was close to closing, it was empty, but that didn't change the warm atmosphere I felt entering and leaving. Overall the drinks were great and made me yearning for more. 5 stars, great job! read more

Ordered Green Thai Tea 7 Leaves is a solid place to get a quick drink. I typically order a medium Vietnamese Iced Coffee with less sugar. The creaminess and sweetness was a great balance and this is a good snack/drink to wake you up during work. This time, however, I wanted to try the green thai tea. Although it was very fragrant, I personally prefer the normal thai tea with a nuttier flavor. The fragrance was a little overpowering for me. Once you order at this location, they make the drink really quickly, and there is also parking right in front of the store, so it's easy to grab a drink and dip. If you stop by a 7 Leaves location near you, I'd recommend the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and if you're not feeling coffee, I also enjoy the Assam Milk Tea. read more

Literally so good and they have lots of options on their menu. They have really quick service here too.

I have absolutely only good things to say about 7 Leaves. It's not too complicated and the menue is straight forward. I've alwasy order the House Coffee extra hot. It comes out perfect every time. NOw and then I ask to try one of their "seasonal" drinks - they do so very quickly and it is appreciated. Please keep your prices down and we'll, at least I, will keep on being your loyal customer! read more

It makes me sad to rate 7Leaves anything less than 5 stars because I love 7Leaves and this was my go-to location during my college days. The reason I'm disappointed is they list their hours as open until 11pm on Yelp and Google when they actually aren't. They supposedly close their kitchen and store at 10:30, so if you arrive at 10:30 or after then you won't be able to order. I've been twice around 10:30 only to show up to a locked store. If you're not actually going to be open until 11 then change your hours online to not confuse customers? My friends and I went out of our way both times and have also seen other customers leave disappointed like us. read more
