Aicha hit the spot for those who like strong boba tea flavors. I got oolong milk tea with grass jelly. It was so good I forgot to take a picture before drinking. I had to stop myself mid way. They also offer student discounts. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Location was clean and service was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of teens there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Menu had a great selection too. read more

I think this is a solid boba place in the Mission Viejo area since there aren't too many options around. There is a very wide selection of drinks and the service is always relatively fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus, there's a lot of seating inside which makes it a perfect study spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tried their seasonal biscoff milk tea the last time I went, and it was just okay. I think it would've tasted better if I ordered it hot instead of iced. The biscoff got soggy after a while and made the whole drink a weird texture, and it was pretty watered down from the ice. I probably wouldn't order it again, but it was worth a try. I think that was definitely my fault for experimenting with my drink order instead of just getting one of their more popular drinks. But overall, I'd definitely come back to try something else! read more

Stopped by AiCha Boba for a quick afternoon pick-me-up and was pleasantly surprised. I tried the Mango Slushie--it was bursting with fresh flavor and really hit the spot. My god‑daughter ordered the Strawberry Milk Tea with Strawberry Boba and couldn't stop raving about it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself has a relaxed, clean, and comfortable vibe--perfect for unwinding with a good drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This one star isn't for the staff or the service. It's the fact the whoever owns this place is too cheap to run the AC when it's 95 degrees and humid outside. It has to be 100 and HUMID insides which makes this unhealthy for customers and employees. The employees are using fans because they are sweating and miserable! I don't appreciate sweating while I'm waiting for my boba as well. This is a health concern, and you are losing customers because you are too cheap to run the AC. My family and I will NOT be back here this summer, and your employees should call the health department. read more

Fast service and flavorful drink. I ordered a wintermelon black tea with golden boba. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I believe this used to be a Ding Tea location - it does not look like much has changed (menu and flavor profile wise) other than the name.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I usually come here when I'm around the area and stopping next door at milk and cookies. read more

AiCha Boba - Menu - Desserts Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Aicha is a pretty good go-to boba place but the quality isn't as good as other places such as Hey tea or Omomo. Most of their fruity flavors come from syrups rather than actual fruit. However, it makes sense since their menu is rather big. Personally, their drinks are also very sweet. read more

this is just a rebranded ding tea that changed its name lol it's nothing special I used to come here a lot when I lived in south county, but I had a bad experience with one of the workers yelling at us because we came in thirty minutes before closing (it was earlier back then, maybe 8 or 9pm). I used to be a barista so I get it, but that kind of open yelling from the back would've gotten anyone I know fired in the past LOL maybe times have changed, but now I prefer other places like vivot, mameya, and Okayama kobo that are more original read more

I was ok until they charged me an upgrade fee to use cow milk in my "milk tea" instead of oat milk. Overall, it was expensive fora small boba tea, and too sweet - even though we ended up having a relatively long discussion about the sweetness level. read more

I ordered two things. The coffee milk tea was not very good, but passable. The other thing I ordered however, was awful, and I probably should've had them remake it. I ordered a kiwi fruit tea, but when I got it, it did not taste like kiwi at all. It tasted EXACTLY like Fake green apple candy, think like the green apple jolly rancher flavors. I also ordered at 30% sweet, and it was still very sweet. I will not return here when there are so many better tea and coffee shops around. read more

Taro mash was so bad - it tasted like drinking a floral air freshener. Staff was not very accommodating, like maybe she didn't want this job to begin with? [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was extra dark too, we were there at around 3pm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Plenty of parking spaces. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have some indoor seating available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the Lychee Yakult with Lychee Popping Boba and with less sugar. Even with the less sugar, the drink was too sweet. I think maybe the Lychee Popping Boba added the extra sugar level to the drink, but it was too sweet for me. The drink itself was good, but definitely had to have the ice dilute the drink more for it to be not too sweet for me. Recommendation(s): - Lychee Yakult (try half sugar since this drink was pretty sweet -- at least for me) Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Plenty of parking spaces - Indoor seating available read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Solid neighborhood boba place with convenient parking and a welcoming, cozy vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Loved that they offer student discounts which makes it easy to visit often. Drinks were flavorful and well made, easy 4/5! Services are ok, not out of ordinary, menus are customizable, quite nice! read more

I am a boba fanatic and this place can sure serve up a boba! I love that they are open later than most boba shops in south Orange County. They have a nice selection of different bobas. I tend to get taro or matcha drinks and they haven't disappointed. My husband really love the Yakult bobas! It's a small little boba shop and it gets quite busy so you may not find seating. It doesn't have as trendy vibe as other boba spots, but still cool. They have an arcade machine there. All in all, this is now my new boba spot! Try it! read more

This location has changed out to different boba businesses. I am not sure how long it has been AiCha. We tried a variety of drinks from milk teas to fruit slushes. We also tried traditional boba, lychee jelly and strawberry popping boba. I like they have non caffeine options, teas, coffees and various mix ins. You can change the sweetness level and amount of ice. read more

This is such a convenient and good quality boba place in Mission. My go to drink recently has been a peach green team 75% sweet with lychee jelly and strawberry popping boba. So refreshing! If you're not too into sweet, but my drink sounds good, I'd probably go 50% sweet because they toppings do add extra sweetness. I have yet to try their milk teas, but my family loves them. Everyone is also super nice there, too! They always have great recommendations. read more

Cute little boba place in Mission Viejo with a great menu of classics and specials. I ordered the Oreo milk tea with egg pudding and it was so delicious. I totally forgot to ask for less sweetness but it still came out perfect. The almond milk tea was perfectly almondy and the pearls were perfectly chewy. Would come back here for sure. Great service too. read more

Mulberry green tea 50% sweet w boba: Pretty good! The tea base is nice, floral, and light and I can taste a slight mulberry flavor. I tried it w black tea base and it was too strong and I couldn't taste any mulberry and was very one note. Get the green tea base! 4/5 If the mulberry flavor were stronger it would be 5/5 Boba is soft and squishy. Could be bigger but not bad 4/5 read more

First time here. It was night time and we are old...maybe not too old but we have three kids and we came here on a date for dry January vs our usual places. We didn't want anything with caffeine so we tried taro with light sweetness, light ice, and boba. It was great! Our favorite spot! The boys had fun too! read more

Already impressed that this place has oat and almond milk, but also their milk tea base is non dairy.

Worth a stop. read more

Bobbbbaaaaaa! I love Boba Addict; it's arguably my favorite place to go for boba drinks in the area. Their golden boba is perfectly textured and melts in your mouth. It's the main reason I go back here so often! THE DRINKS | Wide selection of milk & flavored teas, speciality drinks, slushes, juices, coffees, etc. Customize the amount of sugar & ice, type of milk used, bobas, jellies, cream, etc. - Pumpkin Pie Milk Tea + Golden Boba ($0.55 extra) | Pumpkin pie flavored milk tea made with Assam black tea. It's topped with sea cream, pumpkin spice, and pumpkin sauce drizzle. This seasonal drink is tasty with the sea cream elevating its flavor profile. Their boba is consistently made well; softly chewy and slightly warm. THE BOBA ADDICT FEELS | Formerly known as Ding Tea, their recent rebranding also came with a bit of renovation work inside. It doesn't seem too much has changed with exception to a new accent wall and some minor cosmetic work. The vibe is laid back coastal. THE PARKING SITUATION | Located in a shopping plaza, there is free parking near and around Boba Addict. I almost never have issues finding a parking spot. read more

Friendly service with disgustingly sweet "tea". --- Peach green tea with 50% sugar and less ice. It's like drinking syrup; the tea has a slimy texture, and you can't taste the peach or green tea. It's essentially 100% pure syrup with an orange food color. The tea is very suitable for inflationary times like these. If you bring your own cup and a bottle of water, you will pay for one drink that actually contains more sugar for two people. I waited for all the ice to melt down, and to my disappointment, it was still way too sweet. It's easy to develop diabetes if you finish this bottle of syrups. read more

A nice little tea and boba shop that's open slightly later than most in this sleepy county of orange. This is located fairly close to Saddleback College so don't be shocked to run into a bunch of loud and obnoxious college kids that will just shout or speak loud for no reason. I got to try the hazel nut milk tea and the strawberry milk tea with boba. The Hazel nut was really good. Bold flavors of both the tea and hazelnut. The strawberry milk tea was good too but didn't really taste like tea. More like strawberry milk. I've had strawberry milk tea in other places that were bold in tea flavor and it has the potential to be much better. The tapioca or boba was nice and chewy. There is decent amount of seating area here and a good selection of items to chose from. Falls under industry average with their good points being open till 10pm and good amount of indoor seating. read more

Found this little gem and now I'm stoked beyond belief. Walking in here felt very calming and inviting. I had lost faith lately after trying many other boba places that all tasted similar with gooey boba and sugary aftertastes. However, the teas here were shockingly different. The level of ice and sugar were spot on. The boba was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor and texture. I ordered the golden boba with a Wintermelon milk tea and finally found my go to drink. They were very busy and yet still got drinks out very timely. They were all very nice. I look forward to trying other drinks, maybe. For now I'll stick with my Wintermelon milk tea:) read more

Formerly known as Ding Tea (don't worry they still honor gift cards) with a revised menu that includes a few new specialty items and updated cup designs stands the new AiCha boba. The interior is still clean and modern but does attract a noisy crowd which is to be expected with all of the nearby college students. There can be a wait on Friday night and any weekend evenings. The customer service is still patient, friendly, and helpful. Tried their thai milk tea (which included a non-dairy substitute) and found it to be a solid drink. It's not a beverage that has a strong tea flavor and runs on the sweet side but for a franchised chain it was perfectly suitable. read more

Came in a few times when it was ding tea. Surprised to see the new name on sign today. Figured since I came all the way over here, I'd at least try it to see if it's still as good The guys working the register are friendly and helpful. Described the drinks and different toppings. Took a while to get drinks out but they are definitely good. Inside is clean and neat. It's sorta noisy but it's by saddleback college so it could be all the students trying to caffeine up for the evening. read more

Came here for the first time. The ambience is pretty cool and I love that you can play board games while you're drinking Boba. There's also like a little arcade game in there. The kids were playing. It was nice to find a place that was open past 9 PM and me and my husband had our date night here. The Boba was OK. It wasn't the best but it was good. The staff was super friendly and helped us choose a drink. I looked up. My drink was not very sweet and came as it is. I got the mango. read more

I was staying at the Hampton in a few blocks away and was looking for some Boba nearby and found Ding Tea! I probably should have looked on their website earlier before going since there was a line to pick up drinks. Luckily, it didn't take terribly long. From order to drink, it took about 15 mins and maybe 8 people ahead of me. I ordered: 1. Guava Green Tea: Really delicious. I got it Less ice and less sugar. Kinda wish I got it even less sugar but it was delicious! I love the strong guava taste and it wasn't syrupy tasting. Tasted like fresh guava juice. The tea itself was good quality and refreshing. 2. Brown Sugar Milk Tea: Honestly thought it was just okay. The boba was really good and fresh but I thought the milk tea itself was just avg. I actually didn't end up finishing it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, both both teas were good but I'm pretty picky about my milk teas which is why I thought it was just alright. I tea flavor overall was excellent and the service was good despite it being super crowded. read more

0 star review. The cashier was disgustingly rude. As I ordered, I changed my mind about things as is normal for most people who are ordering at an establishment they're visiting for the first time. All the cashier kept saying me while I'm placing my order was "anything else?" Over, and over, and over again. Being hurried while choosing drink options is not professional in any way, shape, or form. Customer service is a fundamental, rudimentary skill, and this little kid has zero of it. Top ten rudest customer service of the year runner-up candidate. Cheers. read more

I've boba shop hopping since I needed a place to do my homework. This has been by far the best homework spot! They have multiple outlets by each seat. The seating area isn't crammed either and they have free wifi!!! The younger employees play great music (tyler the creator,dean, and and kali uchis.) Customer service is great here! All their milk teas are dairy free which is really nice. They are very quick at making drinks, the employees know what they're doing. The drinks come out really scrumptious everytime. My personal fav as of right now is the matcha strawberry slush! Overall it's been only great experiences the past couple times I've been there for finals. No distractions besides when it begins to get busy around 8pm lol read more

I love this place!!!! The service is exceptionally quick, and this girl named Vy at the register was super helpful in letting me know what the best options were! She did the griddy when I ordered her favorite drink! Cheers to that!!!! Also, another worker named Oanh made my drink in what felt like 1 second, like wow!!!!!! This place is beyond superb!

I give a 1 for the customer service because they were nice. The drink was an absolute 0. Idk how you mess up a drink that has the universal same base at every location man. Why did you dump the entireity of a gallon of sugar in my drink? This tastes like the candyland pool in a Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory movie. I understand that each location may cater to the tastes of the local folk however, I would actually LIKE to taste the TEA itself and not just sugar? Get it together Ding Tea Mission Viejo, not everyone is trying to race to their graves and spike their blood sugar simultaneously. If you would like to pay 4-5$ to be disappointed on purpose then by all means, visit this location. Interior cute. Staff nice. DRINK = DO BETTER NEXT TIME. read more
