    First time at Little Tea which took over the space previously occupied by Champion. Kiosk ordering is easy to navigate and you can vary the sugar and Ice level and has a good amount of toppings to add in. Friendly bobarista and the drinks tasted great! AND they have soy milk!! I highly rec the Matcha milk tea machciato !

    To be honest, I am disappointed, I thought that there will be real fruits in the Mango grapefuit (as seen in the photo on the menu) but it turns out that they just put mango syrup in it. Also, when they gave me my drink there's mango syrup all over it, I asked them to wipe it since it's really sticky. I think mango drink is now a thing for most boba place and most of them are using real mango not just syrup, so it's a no no for me and I didn't even finish my drink. The staffs are nice though, but I still wouldn't come back, there's a lot of boba places in that area that uses better quality ingredients.

    This tasty Taiwanese brand first caught my attention in the sgv area near Tawa plaza. Coincidentally, it's across from a Tawa plaza in Irvine! Now, any boba shop from the sgv area making its way down to Irvine is arguably likely to be good. And while the tea was one dimensional and straightforward, the fact that it's "nothing fancy" is why I've been here 3x this week already. If you want a reliable jasmine mt with endless toppings (no additional charge!!) then this is the place. The baristas are nice, the area is nice. Solid 8/10 Ig/Tiktok: socalyumiez

    It's a pretty small space so if there were to be a line, it would head outdoors. I do love how they can take your order in person , but also they have 2 kiosks to tap to start your order if you want to avoid maybe a line occurring. I came around opening hours and I was second in line. And no line was formed behind me. It's a cute little spot & it was a hot day. I ordered their large oolong milk tea, part of their Milk Tea Series. I've only ever seen it before while shopping in this area but finally was able to try it before I left to the shops. Honestly, super refreshing. Although there aren't seats inside, there are some benches outside this establishment with shade. Thankfully there was a breeze this day. Can't wait to come back hopefully with friends this time.

    My husband and I wanted to try another milk tea spot aside from our usual "go to" nearby. Saw this place before but would pass it up because the few times we've walked by, there was often a congregating crowd out front. Came around 8pm on a Wednesday, so it wasn't too bad. Smaller interior with a couple of kiosks to enter your drink order, but you're also able to order at the counter as well. Order up (from the Milk Tea & Fruit Milk Tea Series): - Milk Tea (husband's) - Strawberry Milk Tea (mine) After piercing the straw with much excitement and anticipation for the steeped tea flavor to come through, but unfortunately it just wasn't there for us. Bummer..."Alittle Tea" was literally just a little tea, if that. Points for efficiency and free toppings. CHEERS and happy eating till next time...

    I'd been wanting to check this spot out for a while, but I kept putting it off because there always seems to be a crowd hanging around outside the entrance. To be clear, it's not a line--just people loitering around the doors, which makes it a little uninviting. I ordered the Four Seasons milk tea and the ice cream black tea, and unfortunately both tasted like they were very light on tea flavor. The milk tea tasted mostly like milk, and the ice cream black tea tasted mostly like ice cream, with very little tea coming through. On the plus side, they use fresh milk, and you can definitely taste the quality, which I appreciated. It just overpowered the tea for me. I'd still come back to try some of the non-milk tea options and would be happy to update my review after trying those.

    This spot is my go-to in Irvine now, the value makes it too good to pass up on and it's really close to where I live. This place is cheap, less than $6 for a large drink and it's free toppings, which makes it even better. It's located in a plaza with a ton of boba options, but I find myself coming back every time. I go for their black tea or milk tea. I will say that they can be inconsistent with the milk powder and syrup ratio since they measure everything by spoonful, so you should try their drink before you leave and make sure they made it correctly. Also do remember your order number after you order or else it gets a little confusing. When they get it correct, it's perfect, but I've also gotten watered down milk tea before. Their boba consistency is always top tier so I get all my drinks with boba. Their egg pudding is solid, but when I get boba and pudding, I find that they put less topping overall.

    This place has quickly become one of my go-to boba spots! It's affordable, quick, and the toppings are free!! I usually get their milk teas, but if you look at the menu they offer a wide variety of options including slushies and matcha! The boba here is really good. It's chewy and always has the perfect texture! I also like to get the grass jelly or coffee jelly here. And did I mention the toppings are free?! I usually order online and the drink is ready by the time I arrive, so it's very convenient. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for reasonably priced boba is OC!

    I have been really loving ALittle Tea recently. The first time I tried it I wasn't too impressed, but it was amazing the second time and now I've been back almost every week oops. On the Hungry Panda app there are always discounts so I'm able to get a large milk tea with toppings for less than $3.50 it's such a good deal you really won't find anywhere else in Irvine. I like my drinks less sweet and I love that they actually honor the sweetness adjustments here- the first time I came here I got 30% sweetness and it actually needed more sweetness. Since then I've been getting 70% and it's perfect! My favorite I've tried here is the four season milk tea with the mini boba I'm obsessed.

    Ice Cream Black Tea tasted thin and watered‑down.

    The previous Champion Food had permanently closed, and this new bubble tea shop took its place. I ordered an ice cream black tea. The amount of ice cream floating on top was very small, and even after asking for no ice, the tea still tasted thin and watered‑down. I would've been better off going to Heytea or Wushiland across the street. 之前的冠軍食品永久歇業了,換這家手搖。 點了杯冰淇淋紅茶七分糖。浮在杯頂的冰淇淋份量好少,即便去冰後茶湯味道還是淡稀水。 還不如去對街的喜茶或五十嵐。

    Stopped by to try this new tea shop. The boba was chewy and fresh. Ordered via the kiosk and was reasonably priced. The service was quick for my order. There is no seatings inside and so you will have to just take the tea to go.

    3.7 stars. Location is in a busy plaza- good luck with parking. Store isn't that spacious and there's not really seating for you to wait so it is primarily an order for pick up place. There's a kiosk on the left side of the store to order. Quality of the drinks is just about on par or a little less than the other locations. Wait time takes longer because less staff in this smaller location.

    1st time getting bubble tea from here. I got the classic milk tea with boba, pudding and pearls. It's nice that these toppings came without additional charge. The self ordering kiosk was easy to use and order was done pretty quickly. The bubble tea was good overall, the boba wasn't as chewy as I would have lies

    Came here on a hot Tuesday and tried an iced winter melon drink with 3Q toppings (boba, coconut…read morejelly, and bo-bo). Light ice, very low sugar. It was pretty good! We decided to order at the kiosk and it was pretty smooth. Drinks came out within 5min. It wasn't busy, which was surprising given the temperature and the hour (noon). But that parking lot gets packed and there are so many places to go there. The drink was very refreshing. Great flavor. Since wintermelon is so mild, the sweetness of the drink really came through. The boba was still nice and warm, which is what I like in my drinks. The coconut jelly and bo-bo had nice texture to it. There are seats up and down the shops, including covered seating, which was great on such a hot day.

The tea was only okay, and was quite pricey. I liked the brulee but slightly wished it was torched a bit more. I could not really taste the texture of the green tea jelly and the milk tea itself was also pretty average. There is seating outside but just one bench inside that people could also wait at. Since drinks does take a while I think more seating should be added.

Went during lunch and there were about 10 orders ahead of mine. Ordered 30 minutes ahead and the drink was still not ready. There is no separate lines for pickups and ordering in person so everyone was just cutting each other. The app said my order was ready so I had to wait in the long line just to get to the front and she said they were still making my drink... I stepped to the side and waited another 10 min. I see the drinks come out but there's no announcements or anything. I had to get back in line again and then ask her for my drink.. If your ordering system is purely reliant on the app and number on the screen, it should be accurate! Or just make a separate area for pickups! You have one person in the front handling orders and serving drinks. This is terrible for the employees and the customers. Drinks were decent tho..

Tangy Fresh Peach Slush Super refreshing with a nice sweet-and-tangy balance. It doesn't taste overly sweet or artificial. I found out they use 4401 premium white peaches, which explains why the peach flavor tastes so natural. Perfect for a hot day! Peach Yogurt Yakult This one might actually be my favorite! The combination of white peach, Yakult, and organic Greek yogurt gives it a smooth, creamy texture while still keeping that fresh peach flavor. Really refreshing and flavorful without feeling too heavy. If you like peach drinks or anything with a sweet-and-tangy flavor, I'd definitely recommend giving these two a try.
