My SIL recommended we try this because it was the best jasmine tea she's had. We ordered the premium jasmine tea latte and were there at around 9pm? It was definitely really busy even so late. Once we got our drinks, it was honestly pretty good for a jasmine tea. Rivals even the Louis Vuitton jasmine tea, iykyk. I'd like to try it again to see if anything else is really good. read more

i've been seeing this place literally everywhere on social media, so i had to try it out! i went on a wednesday around 5 pm, and it was sooo crowded, so do be prepared for a rather long wait after ordering your drink (my drink took about 1 hr to be made)! i would say ordering online, or ordering in person and then going to eat at one of the restaurants nearby or supermarkets, would probably be the best way to spend your time waiting. for my drinks, i tried the signature red glutinous rice fresh milk tea and the premium jasmine green tea latte (not pictured). i really liked the glutinous rice added to the fresh milk, but i wouldn't get this drink regularly because i feel like the milk tea base itself wasn't as flavorful in comparison to match the rice. however, where they really shined was with the jasmine green tea latte! even though waiting an hour for just a jasmine green tea latte sounds atrocious, it was so good and had a great balance of sweet and tea flavor. i would definitely get this again once the hype dies down and the wait isn't too bad! read more

So happy that Auntea Jenny is now in Irvine. I would stop by their Rowland Heights location anytime I was out there. The Coconut Mango Boom is my favorite drink and it tastes just as good here as their other location. I find the staff here very friendly and efficient. I placed my order online and the drink was completed in the time quoted on the app. When I entered and provided my order number, I was greeted with a smiling staffer who was friendly and located my order promptly. Drink was great as expected. For those not familiar with this shopping center, the parking can be crazy if you come during busy times, which is practically all the time! read more

Auntea Jenny - Lots of pickup orders - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I wanted to give Auntie Jenny another try, thinking I'd be smart and bypass their notoriously long wait times by ordering online. Guess what? They turned their online ordering completely off. It honestly feels like a massive "F U" to customers. Instead of using technology to manage their crowd and provide a better experience, they just shut it down and force everyone to stand around and wait. If you're going to have modern conveniences, keep them running. Disabling online ordering just because you're busy is incredibly frustrating and disrespectful of people's time. Not cool at all. read more

We went during off-peak hours and the wait was around 15-20 mins for 3 drinks. Got the purple rice milk tea drink, crème brûlée drink, and a strawberry milk. The person helping us order at the Kiosk was super nice. Tea and flavors were very weak. Very little toppings but price was affordable. There were SO many workers standing around not really doing much. I believe it was an assembly line of workers. Honestly, I'm not sure what was going on but can see why drinks take so long when they're busy. I wouldn't come back again unless the drinks improve. read more

Drinks were okay but probably not worth the wait IMO. I came into the store Sunday afternoon and there was only 1 other person in the store so I submitted an online order since I wanted to use a reward. As I waited, people were walking in and out consistently. Although there weren't many people in the store, it seemed like the online ordering was where it was at. I ended up waiting about 30 minutes after ordering, for 1 Mango Sago. The drink itself was okay, but not something I would crave or come back for especially with so many other options in the area. read more

What an experience here...and could not be a more disappointing first impression and probably the worst I've had from a boba shop. Waited about 35 minutes in line to order through one kiosk, and then saw that there were a bunch of people just waiting for their orders on the side. Thought it would go pretty quickly like many other busy boba shops but it was far from that. We expected some wait, so we walked around Tokyo Central next door, came back after 20 mins, still nothing - order says still pending. Decided to then walk to some other shops in the adjacent plaza for about another 40 minutes, came back, still not ready. Staff did not acknowledge anyone who was waiting and trying to get a status of their order, many visibly irritated as we were. I asked for an order status when I was finally able to flag one of them down to check, who said it was still being worked on. Finally, about another 20 minutes later, it was ready. The whole process took 1 hour and 45 minutes to get our three drinks. The drinks themselves were just average, and I would not want to experience any of that again. With the amount of people waiting, it was hot and cramped inside. Not a great way to spend almost two hours on a weekend. read more

The tea was mid and service was slow was hyped for this place but dissapointed. Hubby and I came here for dessert after having dinner. We ordered through a kiosk and waited inside. Interior is small with little seating. Not sure if there was a lot of online orders but it took 30 min to get two drinks. The strawberry daifuku tea was bland, the mochi was watery, the strawberry was refreshing but not the best tea I've had. My hubbys tea was whipped cream latte was bland and not sweet not enough tea. Service was friendly, the workers greeted customers as they walked in. Overall wait it long and tea is mid, probably won't be back here again. read more

If you're a fan of lemon jasmine tea, this is the place to be! I always come here for their fruit teas they're consistently fresh, refreshing, and full of flavor. The Lemon Jasmine Tea is my absolute favorite. If you're in Irvine and looking for an amazing tea spot, I highly recommend it! read more

We came here after pickleball. You order with the kiosk bc all the employees are busy making drinks. We got 2 Jasmin green tea and 1 red rice glutinous fresh milk tea. The jasmine green tea was so refreshing, the tea flavor was so bold. The glutinous rice was so soft and chewy! I absolutely loved both drinks and I can't wait to try different ones next time read more

I've been meaning to try this place for quite a while, but have avoided it due to seeing multiple reviews about the long wait times or inconsistent quality. I'm glad that I finally got to try this place, but to be honest, I do believe Auntea Jenny is overhyped - especially for those outrageous wait times. To each their own, as my girl friend loves a specific drink from this location. My honest advice is that some drinks are probably a hit and some drinks are probably a miss, so if it's a miss for you the first time, I would try a different drink instead. For me, I personally don't think I need to come back lol. My friend ordered our drinks 30 minutes in advance via the app and we passed the time by browsing Daiso and Tokyo Central nearby. When we picked up our drinks, the staff was kind and welcomed us in. I tried the Strawberry Daifuku drink with 70% recommended sweetess and to be honest, it was just okay and not mindblowing. If I got 30 - 50% sweetness next time, I do think I would enjoy this drink a bit more, as it was a bit sweet for me at 70%. It kinda just tasted like artificial strawberries and I ended up ordering a different drink at Hamadaya nearby that I loved more for a fraction of the price. However, I will highlight that the mochi bits are REALLY good. TLDR; Is this place worth the visit? Personally, I don't think it's worth waiting for but if you're looking for a new drink spot with unique flavors, go ahead and give this place a try! read more

I've recently tried the Mango Coconut Punch at the newly opened Auntea Jenny in Irvine. It was sweet, full of fruits (both mango and coconut) and delicious. The packaging was also cool to carry and keep your milk tea cold. The staff were helpful and mage recommendations at their best sellers. The ambiance is cozy and bright with limited seatings inside. You can also order via their app for pickup as well. Lots of parking near Tokyo Central. Highly recommended! read more

I just tried their new drink lineup and I am officially obsessed. The store is not very big. The service was simple easy just order your drink from the kiosks, they will call your number to pick up the drinks when ready. Ambiance is cute and clean. The flavors are so fresh and the textures are spot on--it's the absolute perfect afternoon tea treat. My Top Picks: * Mango Sago: Super refreshing with that perfect mango fruitiness. * Crème Brûlée Boba: Rich, creamy, and feels like a total treat. * Cake Brûlée Boba: If you love dessert-inspired drinks, this is the one! The boba is so chewy and delicious! I ordered mine at 30% sugar, and it was absolutely perfect--just enough sweetness to let the flavors shine. Bonus: When you order to-go, they give you the most adorable bag with cup holders! It makes carrying your drinks so easy and looks great. Free parking. read more

I enjoyed the tea a lot but not sure it's worth hype. The workers there were working to the bone. I honestly they are well compensated for all the hard work they are doing. I saw some of the reviews that the workers are not smiling. Put your yourself in their shoes. They are literally working non-stop. It's understandable their focus on fulfilling orders in front of impatient crowds. The drinks are good but please keep it mind that it takes time to get your drink. read more

Had to come back for the grape crystal green tea punch. It's super flavorful and the boba here is the perfect chewiness with honey flavor. I really enjoyed the little jelly bits in it as well. If you like grape-flavored things, you would love this drink! Drinks take a bit of time to be made, but staff are very friendly and it is very worth the wait. read more

Terrible service and a really bad attitude. The place wasn't even busy, yet we waited half an hour just for two drinks. Very disappointing experience. read more

It took 30 mins waiting in line, 30 mins to get 2 drinks. When I came to the counter to pick up the drink, the girl didn't even bother to put them in the bag. Then, I asked for the bag, she just tossed them in there without the cup holder, even thought it's literally next to the bag. Bad customer services, I rather drive further to Chagee in Mission Viejo, their customer services is top notch! Small store. Manager, please blast the AC, because it's super hot from waiting in line outside. read more

Da Hong Pao milk tea is one of my favorites but there aren't many shops that carry it around here but Auntea Jenny does! Gotta say I'm a little disappointed in the level of milkiness, but the strength of the tea was moderate. Came at a busy time right after their soft opening though and by the time we got the text to pick up our drinks, there was a noticeable amount of condensation outside already. Could just be a bad batch but next time I'd probably try to ask for less/no ice and add it in at home in case it waters it down again read more

Picked up 2 drinks on Thursday, 9/10/2026. The drink was good and the ambience is nice, but the attitude of the female worker was unbearable. I came in and informed the worker politely that I have a pick up order and showed her the order number. She didnt say a single word and just push the bag in a disrespectful way without looking or saying a word. Unbelievable. read more

As first timers, we figured our best bet was to order the popular items. Unfortunately, about half the menu was already unavailable by noon! We ended up ordering the Strawberry Green Fresh Milk Tea Daifuku & the Orchid Tie Guan Yin Tea Latte with Cheese Foam and Water Chestnut Boba. The strawberry drink was decent and lightly fruity. My latte came in a paper cup, so I couldn't check the add-ons before leaving. Once we were already on the road... surprise: no cheese foam and no boba! Flavor-wise, the latte itself was strongly floral. Not bad, but without the toppings it felt a bit one-dimensional. One thing I'll give them credit for: the interior looks really nice. Operations seemed a bit rough. We waited 50 minutes for two drinks. There were tons of drinks already lined up, prepped and sealed, but the final step - wiping the cups and calling out numbers - was moving at a painfully slow pace and holding up the entire line. Also, to order, you must use the kiosk. Although convenient, it also means new customers miss out on being able to ask staff for drink recommendations. Between the pricey drinks, long wait times, incomplete drinks with missing add-ons, and half the menu being unavailable, this visit was a huge miss for me. That said, the shop is still pretty new, so there's definitely room for improvement. Hoping they work out the kinks. I just might give them some time before trying again. read more

I recently got to try Auntea Jenny and had a mixed experience. It is located near the Tokyo Central Market. Drinks: Some of the drinks were delicious while others were okay. The multigrain boba drink tasted great. However, my black tea drink tasted just okay. The menu was slightly limited in choices for boba drinks and milk teas. Inside: The inside seating was a bit limited and there was a long line of people standing outside in the hot sun. read more

I drove quite far to try this boba shop because it's been trending all over social media but honestly, it was a huge disappointment. I placed my order through the app ahead of time and arrived right when my drink was ready for pickup. However, the staff didn't seem welcoming or attentive at all, even though it had just opened. When I went to grab my order, the employee standing at the pickup area pointed me to another staff member instead of helping directly. Then I was handed my drink with a straw that couldn't even handle the toppings seriously? I ordered it to go, but they carelessly put the drink into a paper bag without a cup holder. I had to ask what would happen if it spilled in my car, and only then did they give me a proper holder. It's really confusing and frustrating to experience this level of service at a place that's supposedly so popular. As for the drink itself another letdown. I ordered the Six Berry Glow Pearl Boba Boostea, and it honestly tasted like watered-down fruit juice with barely any tea flavor at all. The Classic Mango Pomelo Sago is the one which I give this store 2 stars. Definitely not worth the hype or the drive. read more

SUPER BUSY for grand opening. Had to wait almost 2hrs from getting in line to receiving my drink. They have a screen that updates what order numbers are being made and estimated wait times. However, the staff inside were calling numbers verbally, and a lot of people waited outside so they didn't hear. Overall, the drink was good quality and well priced. The prices are the same as Chagee or HeyTea. Good taste for the price, definitely tastes better than Sharetea/Dingtea quality. Because they were so busy, the staff got my order wrong. They added the wrong toppings and I didn't check until after I left. Not a great first impression of the place. read more

Came on an early Sunday afternoon and it was a poor experience. There were signs promoting their strawberry daifuku and fiber drinks but they weren't on their menu (I assume they were out of stock). The wait was over an hour - enough time for us to put our name on the boiling point waitlist, get seated, and eat our meals. When our drinks were ready, no one was prepared to hand drinks to the customers. There were a ton of drinks on the countertop ready for pickup. It seemed disorganized and makes me wonder why they don't organize the drinks by order number so it's easier for them to look for the drinks when a customer comes to pick it up. I've down order online and pickup on a Monday before but the wait is honestly still long (~45 minutes). I genuinely believe they could cut the wait time by being more organized. Other places like Molly tea have long waits but at least they're presentable and prepared to help their customers when needed. I don't understand the hype at all. read more

In complete disbelief on how bad this experience was. Completely unorganized and location is poorly managed. Came on a Saturday afternoon and knew it would be busy but did not think that it would be this bad. Starting from long line outside in the sun, just to order on a kiosk which took at least 20 minutes. Then got a text confirming order at 3:11pm and drink finally came out at 4:09pm. So waited nearly an hour for the drink and also an additional 20 minutes prior just to order. The staff are all moving so slow and look very confused. So many people going up to the counter to check on their drinks and complain. They were so unorganized and were not calling out numbers and don't even keep up with the numbers ready on the board. You find out if yours is ready by waiting near the counter and asking. Lot of online orders also had to get filled to make the wait even longer. To add to the chaos, there was no AC and so many people waiting inside so it was incredibly hot inside. When we left, there was a worker turning people away to come back at 6:30pm instead. Probably to have a meeting and figure out how to do things better and train the staff. Got the mango pomelo drink which was decent, but not worth waiting well over an hour. Definitely wait a couple months for this location to figure things out. read more

came here for their soft opening deals and waited for around 45 mins. tried a few drinks and i found the mango sago and jasmine milk tea the best ! they both had a lot of flavor. inside design was very nice and clean. a little cramped with people waiting for their orders but not too bad at all! read more

Long wait during their grand opening ~2hrs but drinks do come in a cute insulated bag. The mango pomelo one of their top drinks was pretty good. I would say actually better than Haiti. There are various like chewy jelly bits, and the mango flavor is strong. The Taro, Boba milk tea with 50% sweetness didn't have too strong of a tea flavor but pretty milky and with real Taro bits and the Boba is also chewy. read more

Auntea Jenny - Premium Jasmine MilkTea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I want to clarify that this review isn't about the drinks themselves, but about the operations during a recent promotion. They were running a BOGO deal, and I ended up waiting over two hours for my drinks. Initially, there was only one main cash register open, which created a significant bottleneck given the volume of customers. Staff came out to take drink orders by marking up menus, but it didn't seem to speed things up much. In some cases, customers weren't told that certain drinks had a minimum sugar level, which caused additional delays at checkout when orders had to be adjusted. While I was waiting for my drinks, I noticed staff bring out an additional iPad to help take orders, which I appreciated. However, it seemed like the promotion could have been better staffed or prepared from the start. They also ran out of cup holders during the rush. The drinks were placed in bags, but without cup holders inside, they didn't feel very stable or secure when carrying multiple drinks. I'm sharing this as constructive feedback. The drinks may be good, but the overall experience was frustrating due to the long wait and operational issues during the promotion. read more

With the MANY choices of tea and boba places in Irvine u was thinking "should I try it?" Well glad I did. The tea was cold and crisp and just the right amount of sweetness (70%) the boba was chewy and soft. Ordering at the kiosk was easy but I do wish there was a human element in ordering. Like how you can see the progress of your order on their screen. read more

Auntea Jenny is a very popular tea chain from China that is beginning to open US stores. This location in Irvine sits in the very popular Heritage Park. There's plenty of parking, but also plenty of competition, so I was excited to see how it matches up. The line wasn't super long, but service ended up being really slow. I understand they're still in soft opening, but the efficiency is definitely not there. The drinks took almost 30 minutes to come out after ordering. They should probably slow down taking orders if they're that behind. The inside is nicely decorated, but is pretty small. The drinks themselves were actually pretty good! The Gluttonous Rice drink was really good, a perfect "not too sweet"! The Kale tea was a surprise, as it ended up being very refreshing! Overall, Auntea Jenny is a good spot for tea, even in a sea of other boba spots! read more
