A Little Tea just opened in Irvine and there was a pretty significant line when I went today. I just recently tried the location in Rowland Heights and thought pretty similarly of this one - solid albeit not amazing tea at relatively cheap prices compared to other boba shops. Boba quality was better at this location - the texture was more consistently chewy throughout. One knock I would give this location is that half the menu was out of stock but this might be due to having opened very recently. read more

8/10!!! Decent boba shop :) I've tried their location in Rowland Heights and cool to see they opened one here in Irvine. I came around 5 after work and there wasn't much people. When arriving, I noticed that it's a small shop and no seating area inside. There are 2 kiosks for self-ordering which was great for an introvert like me haha. Our drinks took less than 10 minutes to be done and they were ready! I ordered a milk tea with normal ice, 100% sugar, + tea jelly and my partner ordered a yakult green tea with normal ice and 100% sugar. I will definitely come back to try more tea options! read more

A little tea? More like, too much boba! My drink was 1/3 full of boba. I saw the employee scoop and weigh the amount of boba. I'm not sure what weight she was looking for, but it's too much! The boba is not good either. It's way too soft and it was too big. Boba balls kept getting stuck in my straw. And the boba had no flavor. No honey. No brown sugar. Just big balls of tapioca starch. Gross. The tea itself was nothing special. There's too many options in Irvine to come back to this place. Sorry. read more

This place is good. You can taste the tea and the difference between other milk tea places. Plus their toppings like pudding, coffee jelly, tapioca are free. Unlike other boba shops now. Its self order and shop is small so its not a place to stay and drink. But good place if you want something togo. Wait time was around 10 minutes on a Sunday afternoon! read more

This is what I imagine for a classic milk tea boba. It's super affordable, my Boba Milk Tea (medium) was $4.99. Definitely a good price point, you can order in person through the kiosk, cashier, or order online. The store is very grab and go with no seating. It was busy when we came on a Friday night. ig: @cravingswithcat read more

finding decent boba for around $5 nowadays is really hard, but alittle tea is out here with such a great deal! i ordered the four seasons milk tea, and you can add in boba, tea jelly, and pudding all without extra charge. usually places charges about $0.50-$1 per topping now, so this was a big plus for me. i would say that the milk tea itself is pretty sweet despite getting only 50% sugar, so far warning if you are not a fan of very sweet milk tea. the drink itself though was good, and the tea jelly added a nice texture to my drink. they have two self service kiosks to make ordering easy. the shop was a little busy when i got there, but the workers made my drink pretty fast. the store itself is pretty small with no areas to sit, so it's definitely a grab-n-go situation. there is a lot of parking in the lot outside too. i wouldnt say that this was anything life changing, but pretty good for a milk tea + toppings for a good price! read more

ALittle Tea - four seasons milk tea with tea jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I thought the spot wasn't too bad, considering the price point and the free toppings! It's definitely a bit on the lighter side as far as the actual intensity of the tea, but still really enjoyable! My favorite item on the menu was actually the tea jelly, which is really really good and I honestly prefer over the Boba. I will also say the tea is also a little bit on the sweeter side so I would recommend getting around 50% sugar instead of 100%. read more

Four season tea with pearl. Not many tea shop offer pearl ( the smaller version of the tapioca). When you see a tea shop has pearl that means it's authentic Taiwanese tea shop! We love the balance between the tea taste and the pearl. We will be coming back "a lot " read more

Stopped by on a Friday afternoon and there was no wait. There are a few self-ordering kiosks in the small guest space and no seating. I got the four seasons milk tea 50% sweet with tea jelly and it was so good! Good balance of sweet, tea, and milkiness. My husband got the coconut jelly milk tea 100% sweetness and it was def way too sweet and overpowered by the coconut jelly, which filled half of the cup. Will def come back when I'm craving for a simple milk tea. read more

This boba shop is one that all of my friends up in LA rave about and I'm so glad it opened in my hometown! A little tea has your basic boba teas: milk teas and fruit teas along with cool flavors like Mango sago, Strawberry, Ovaltine) These however are NOT available during soft opening. A lot of people are knacking on the fact that these are not available yet, but come on guys, it's soft opening--it's a time for most businesses to put their training to the test and figure out their service. As for the teas---affordable! The tea flavor isn't crazy strong but for the price point I actually prefer Alittle Tea's oolong/milk teas over Sunright's. It's really hard to find a boba place that doesn't completely water down milk teas and I feel like this place is a nice balance. What I've ordered this random Wednesday afternoon: **Oolong Milk Tea with Tea Jelly | 50% sweet** To me this was the perfect sweet, creamy, tea jelly added a nice texture/enhanced the tea flavor. Friends have told me they are now jelly enjoyers because of Alittle Tea's jelly, and I have to say I am also converted **Passionfruit Green Tea | 30% Sweet ** Wow guys this tea was still SUPER sweet at 30%, if you prefer it not too sweet. I think next time I'd attempt to order 0% sweet and see what I get. Other than that, passion-fruit flavor was highly reminiscent of Cha for Tea's passion-fruit tea, which is excellent. Overall, super excited for a new boba place, can't complain as they're new and figuring stuff out, we're all human at the end of the day, ey? Boba is decently priced and flavored, AND ALSO--FREE TOPPINGS? Will be back to try more! read more

Their milk tea isn't anything special, it's basically just tea with a lot of creamer and sugar. They brew the tea in an old-school way, and I can't even taste the actual tea flavor. The hygiene is also very bad. They keep the counter station open so customers can see, but the staff look exhausted and everything seems quite unsanitary. read more

ALittle Tea - 7:30 pm - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I came here for the first time and got the four seasons tea with tea jelly. The drink came out to be $3.99, which is a steal these days for boba!! I wasn't sure if I didn't like the drink or four seasons tea but I thought the drink tasted pretty plain and the tea jelly didn't have a lot of tea flavor. For the price, I would come back here again to try their milk teas but would skip on the four seasons tea. read more

the most affordable boba shop ever! green milk tea (M) with boba came out to be $4.99 which is so cheap compared to other boba shops these days. their toppings are free! I thought the drink was a solid balance of milky and tea flavor (although i wouldnt have been opposed to a little stronger tea flavor) and the boba was sweet and chewy. they didnt skimp on boba either cuz i had some leftover after i finished the tea. my friends tried the apple milk tea and four seasons tea and they were not a huge fan of them so this review is purely based on the green milk tea read more

Very cheap boba drinks, probably the cheapest you can get in the area and toppings are free. That said, the drinks themselves are just a little above mediocre so about Lollicup quality. There's a lot of competition in the immediate area, but this does give them a good niche. If I was a young starving college student again, I would totally come here all the time. read more

Good service and good drinks, great value! I had a great experience with the employees and the place:),

This is probably one of my favorite boba spots now. Highly recommend trying the four season tea, ice cream black tea, or fruit tea. The prices are really affordable compared to other boba places, and the best part is they offer unlimited free toppings. I tried to sign up for a rewards account, but it seems like the system is glitchy. Would definitely recommend giving this place a try. The place is pretty busy but they are pretty efficient. read more

I enjoyed my first experience at ALittle Tea. The shop itself offers a wide selection of brewed teas, milk teas, and some fruit drinks. You can add some toppings to your drink if you want. I decided to order the large milk tea with half ice and half sugar. I thought that it was very flavorful. You can really taste the tea in the drink. The employees were not very friendly and the service was just okay. The ambiance was slightly outdated. read more

The worker are so nice, the drink is really good. Better than any other Boba Shop around here. read more

ALittle Tea - Hard working stuff - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Great food, they offer small pearls as well as regular boba. Friendly staff, very patient. Overall cute little spot!

This places drinks were cheap, but the sanitation practices here are disgusting. Why is one of the workers putting her entire fist into cup to clean it? Also why was most cups in the sink. It was packed and most of their items weren't being sold. They also opened like 15 minutes late. Again the drinks are cheap and kinda good but knowing how the girl had her whole fist in the mixer makes me not want to go back and finish my drink. read more

Need better staff and health/sanitation training. Saw worker deliberately pour drink from shaker over their fingers into the cup... why? For extra flavor?? then proceed to joke around with coworkers loudly and spill the drink. Instead of making a new one, he mixed some more powder and just refilled the half empty cup... weak ahh drinks too read more

This spot took over Champion Food, which was the first place I had ever tried boba! It was very nostalgic to come back and now try A Little Tea. The line out the door seems a bit intimidating at first, but there is absolutely no room to stand inside. We made it to the front of the line fairly quick. I ordered the Green Milk Tea with mini boba and it was perfectly sweet and flavorful. I really enjoyed my drink, but I would say the mini boba itself was a bit on the hard side. I would have liked it to be a bit softer and chewier. It was definitely worth the price, being less than $10 for 2 medium sized drinks. We ordered at the kiosk and the only interaction we had with any employee was them calling out our drinks, so I can't speak much on their service. I will for sure be coming back to try their other drinks and possibly get the green milk tea again! Seems like a reliable options closer to home! read more

Cute little boba shop with good boba :) the workers were super nice and polite The tea was really good as well read more

Our family used to go to Champion for 35 years so we were happy to try this new tea spot in its place. Unfortunately we were beyond disappointed with the service and the drinks. Drinks themselves were watered down and not well made. Please look into better staff training so they are able to answer questions from customers adequately. Please consider optional cups to purchase on menu because for families with small kids (age 3-7), a single small is still too large for them to consume. Being able to split on the go makes this an enjoyable family destination instead of an annoyance as we don't always want the kids to share drinks due to germs (nor are they willing to share)! On top of that, it was Thanksgiving and to be put in a position with young kids where a store will not spare a cup even when we offered to pay for it is appalling customer service. Good luck to this chain in Irvine, there are many better options. read more

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE HAS ARRIVED IN IRVINE. Please never close!! Don't expect any crazy high quality tea--it's about price point here, and free toppings. A large for $6 and under with boba in this economy? Can't get that anywhere else. It's not like the drinks are TERRIBLE either, it's the sister store to Wushiland so they're pretty similar in taste, although I prefer A Little Tea's menu more. Store is super small and a few things sold out, but I don't even care I'm just happy to have it here. Service was quick! read more

I had really high hopes for this place but was sadly quite disappointed. Having become used to quality tea flavor milk tea places like Bako, 3CAT, and Cha Redefine (and HeyTea arguably), I was surprised at how weak the Four Seasons tea flavor was for my milk tea. I got 30% sweet and it was way sweeter than I expected as well (tasted like 50%). Boba has no inherent flavor (not honey boba or brown sugar boba), which is fine. I had them add some pure tea to make it tea heavy and it still didn't taste very strong. Overall tasted like TapEx or something generic. I'm happy to give this place another try because I've heard such good things about it but it really let me down this time read more

ALittle Tea opened in Irvine. They haveother locations but they are not near here. They offer free toppings and you can't find that elsewhere. Great tea and quality ingredients. Saw that they use organic milk for their milk teas. Tea jelly I ordered was very good. Can't wait to try other items on the menu. Glad we have other option in this plaza othet than Lollicup. read more

They were soft open when I visited and tried it for the first time. The inside is small and is mainly standing room (as long as the line doesn't crowd the entrance). Their most popular drink is the mango milk green tea, but they didn't have any mango drinks available at this time. I ordered on a kiosk, but staff was open to answer questions. Instead I got a four seasons milk tea and a four seasons pure tea. The milk tea was very milky, felt like the ratio was a little off 3/5. The pure tea was a little better but still felt like it was lacking a punch. The sweetness on it was a good level. 3/5 read more

Their prices are very budget friendly compared to the other boba/tea places around the area. The service was quick with kiosk ordering process. read more

Four Seasons Milk Tea never disappoints! Their drinks are amazing every single time, and the staff are always so kind and friendly. The service is fast, and everyone has such a positive attitude. This has become my favorite milk tea spot, and I could seriously come here every day. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for great drinks and even better service! read more

Underrated boba spot in Irvine that will definitely get more popular as word of mouth spreads! What makes this spot so special is the cheaper prices and extra toppings that come with no charge. Most places in Irvine don't have anything like this. Great location in the middle of everything, good drinks, easy to order, good service, and nice and new inside. Would definitely come again. read more

I work in the area and have come here twice, and both times have been consistently good. I usually order the regular black milk tea with boba, and it's really good. The prices are more affordable than a lot of other boba spots, which I appreciate, and the drinks are solid. Even at 100% sugar, the milk tea isn't overly sweet, and the boba is nice and chewy. You can order at the register or at the kiosk. Parking can be a little tricky sometimes, but overall, it's a great boba spot to check out. read more

Great service, delicious drinks, and smooth, efficient service. I love the Ovaltine with ice cream. It's a great place!

Great drinks and excellent service! The tea tastes fresh and flavorful, and the sweetness level is just right. The staff are friendly, and the drinks are always made quickly. read more

Drinks were not that good. We ordered the jasmine milk tea and the oolong milk tea both less sweet and it literally just tastes like diluted milk with melted ice. I had it at their rowland heights location and it was good, but this location was disappointing, not sure if it's the rush that's causing it but i'll give it a second chance when it stabilizes for sure. But other than that, even tho I ordered through the kiosk, the employees were fast and really nice. Drinks: 1/5 Service: 4/5 read more

This is our new go-to weekly boba spot. Great prices, consistently delicious tea, and friendly staff. It's strictly pick-up-and-go (no seating), and they can get backed up when busy, but it's worth it. read more

Such good selection. Nice flavors. I got the four season with big bubble and coffee jelly. The prices are pretty low too so I feel like I have a go to place in this shopping center read more

pretty new place in the plaza we always go to, it's beautiful and clean inside, they are fast and have so many flavors available!

You're really paying for the quality with their pricing. Quality in both the drinks and service. The four seasons milk tea was so incredibly watered down - there was barely a hint of tea flavor. Don't even bother with the Ovaltine unless you want malt chocolate flavored water. Staff needs some serious training. One male employee was talking with the other employees so loudly as he was using profanity both in Chinese and English. I was in line waiting for my order to be taken when a female employee asks "can I help you with something?" in a rude and condescending tone. Yes, I'm waiting to place my order.. No "hi, how can I help you" or anything or the sort. Would not be returning. Spend the extra few cents and go to Soma in the same plaza for better tea and boba. read more

So slow. 30 min for a drink and mediocre not even good and too much ice. This is a place to when you want to wait for long periods of time.
