I came here Saturday of their grand opening weekend to get their BOGO drinks deal. The wait outside of the store was deceptively short. I ended up waiting for over an hour and a half just to get to the front to order my boba. Then I had to wait an additional 30 - 45 minutes after ordering to even get my drinks in the first place. Upon getting to the register, my boyfriend ordered the classic mango pomelo sago drink and I picked the strawberry daifuku drink. Me personally, I am not much of a mango person, so it was really surprising that when we finally got our drinks, I much greatly preferred the mango drink as it was not too sweet compared to the strawberry one. I greatly preferred Auntea Jenny's mango drink to HeyTea's mango boom. The interior of the boba store had several chairs lined up against one of the side walls, but all of those were pretty packed. People were waiting for their drinks both inside and out. read more

We came to the grand opening bogo deal and besides the expected wait, all the baristas were kind in our interactions. We got the mango sago and strawberry fresh milk tea with daifuku (their top drinks), both being on the sweeter side. It's a very busy casual boba spot, for good reason in my opinion. Great variety of drinks and toppings, perfectly cooked boba. I'd want to try the milk teas later to really taste the tea quality, but otherwise it's a very nice shop. Of note, facility still has some kinks in their system, like calling out orders and duplicate orders. read more

So early on a weekday yet already so busy! Service is nice, parking is not too bad for a Friday early afternoon (but I also hate this parking lot because of how cramped and crowded it can get on busier days). There is a bit of a wait because it's new and busy but I didn't find it too bad. Currently also a BOGO free offer going on, so that's always a nice offer. Got the Premium Jasmine Green Tea Latte, Matcha Fresh Milk Daifuku, Strawberry Crystal Green Tea Punch, and Classic Mango Pomelo Sago. - Premium Jasmine Green Tea Latte: I got this at 70% sweetness and regular ice. It's nice to sip on because it's subtle with the floral notes and tea, but it's not strong if you want flavor or like strong tea bases. It's nothing special but a good option if that's something you're interested in. - Matcha Fresh Milk Daifuku: This was a medium with 100% sweetness and less ice. It's not bad but I personally didn't like the matcha flavor. The inclusions were good: mochi and milk jelly. It makes me curious about their strawberry version though. - Strawberry Crystal Green Tea Punch: We got a large with 70% sugar and no ice. It's made with real strawberries, so it was tasty. Tasted like juice, even at 70% sweetness. It would definitely be refreshing on a hot day! I didn't know what to expect when I chose this and also had low expectations, but I was actually pleasantly surprised with this. A good option to me! - Classic Mango Pomelo Sago: I got a large at 100% sweetness (I would personally go 70% sweetness next time if possible). It's good but it's not as generous with the inclusions (mango, pomelo, sago, crystal boba) as other places. I find that it's more on the mango side than anything else. Still a good option if you like this flavor combo though. Overall, a nice experience despite a long line! It's not too pricey in comparison to other new international tea shops. There are variety of drinks so you can find something you like! Worth a try if you're interested (definitely go for the BOGO offer right now if you were planning to already)! read more

Finally got to try Auntea Jenny and see what the latest hype is about! Came on a Wednesday night around 7:30pm before they closed at 8 and there was quite a lot of people waiting inside. However, there was no wait in terms of ordering with the cashier, I was able to walk in and immediately order. The staff who took my order was patient and kind. I initially wanted to do the "buy three drinks for limited merch" but they were already out of it for the day (which made sense as it was close to closing and I saw somewhere online the horse plushie was only for first 15). Also didn't realize that the limited red cup was only for the premium jasmine green tea latte oops. So I just ended up getting two drinks for me and my friend. I got the strawberry green fresh milk tea daifuku while my friend tried the signature red glutinous fresh rice milk tea. After ordering, the wait was a bit long (~30 min), so it seems that there were just too many drinks for them to keep up with so it did feel a bit slow, but I do understand this was probably already pretty quick since they're still figuring out the flow and training the team. There are some seats and tables in the store, but it did get crowded very quickly and it was a bit hard to see when the drink is ready unless you're sitting right in front of the counter. There is a staff member capping the drinks (I do appreciate the extra layering aside from the sealing of the cups) and calling out the order numbers, as well as a screen that shows the completed orders and those in progress. As for the drinks, I will say they are pretty good! The strawberry fresh green milk tea daifuku at 30% sweet was just right for me. I would say it's a good mix of being slightly creamy and fruity. I like the strawberry bits that give the drink its sweetness. I also really enjoyed the daifuku, it basically tasted like mochi so it was slightly chewy and had a milky flavor. I do wish there was a bit more tea flavor, I could tell it was fragrant, it was just a bit on the lighter side and could be overpowered by the milk, strawberry, and daifuku topping. I didn't personally try the glutinous milk tea, but my friend did say she liked it! There was a lot of the rice bits, so definitely suggest mixing it thoroughly. Overall, a very solid Chinese tea shop addition to the Irvine area! I would definitely recommend, but I might also wait until the hype dies down especially considering bogo starts tomorrow (Friday) before trying again. There are still many drinks I want to try, so I'm looking forward to the next time I come back for the jasmine tea latte and the classic mango pomelo sago. read more

I have been to their Rowland heights location but I came the the three drink and horse plushie deal! Their Irvine location is bigger than their Rowland heights location and there is ample parking on a weekday! It's in the same plaza as the Tokyo Central! I got the Kale Fiber Boost and the Peach Oolong Latte which I really love. I forgot the Kale Fiber Boost is very sweet and even though I opted for 50% sweet, I wish I did 25%. The drink is very refreshing and made with real fruit. AUNTEA Jenny's drinks are all very high quality and if you are a fruit tea girly like me, you have to try their drinks! The peach oolong latte is much better than the one at Chagee btw! read more

I tried the Strawberry Daifuku drink at Auntea Jenny and thought it was just okay. It was creamy with a light strawberry flavor and not overly sweet, but nothing about it really stood out. It tasted decent, just not memorable enough to justify the hype. The ambience was alright -- I actually liked the decorations and the overall store vibes. It felt cute and trendy, which made the experience a little better while waiting. Service was polite, but it felt a bit hectic because of how busy it was. I waited about 30 minutes in line and then another 30 minutes for the drink to be made. For a drink that tasted pretty average, an hour total just didn't feel worth it. Overall, it's not bad, but I probably wouldn't wait that long again. If there's little to no line, it might be worth trying once. read more

Went during soft opening and great teas, decently priced, just very long wait times! We waited 50 minutes for our drinks. -Lemon Jasmine Tea Punch 5/5 -Strawberry Green Fresh Milk Tea Daifuku 4/5 -Brown sugar milk tea 5/5 -Glutinous rice milk tea 4.2/5 Other than the long wait times, the PROMOTIONS going on are falsely advertised or they ran out the same day of the promotion. Ie. The buy 3 drinks and get free lunar new year merch, the deal on the very same day was supposedly sold out by 11am and there will be more avail tomorrow. I'm sorry but I don't believe they ran out that fast, on a rainy day. Either way, a management issue. A very cute small shop and overall, good teas. read more

Came here during soft opening weekend randomly after we ate lunch nearby. There was a small line to order but that went by fast. The wait for the drinks after ordering was about 20 mins. I tried the Da Hong Pao latte which the employee explained is a really strong roasted oolong vs the tie guan ying as a really strong green oolong. The tea latte was very good with nice strong tea flavor. I normally get tie guan ying at other places but I will definitely get the da hong pao here again. The store is nicely decorated and staff were nice. The only suggestion I have is that it would have been better if they placed a screen showing the order numbers facing the front of the store as well instead of only having it at the back facing the side. The store was very crowded inside with people waiting for their drinks and it was very hard to see the screen with the order numbers. read more

A very interesting visit for my first time. We ordered on the kiosk, and waited for our drinks. They are REALLY busy here. It took almost 25 minutes for our drinks. The one thing we found interesting is that they do not call out names or numbers. You will receive a text when your order is ready! So just FYI! The store was pretty silent, not many people talking. You can barely hear the staff when they talk as well. I will be back to try other drinks! read more

Line is short and service is good. The boba is delicious, the drinks are flavorful, and there are lots of options to choose from. Everything tastes fresh and the staff is friendly. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the area. read more

Soft opening for the new teashop. Staff was busy with filling order. We got the FoodPanda special and was able to quickly get our order. The space is small, so you will have to wait outside for a bit. Got the strawberry milk jelly to try out. Will have to come back for the other flavors. read more

I think about Auntea Jenny's mango pomelo sago way too often, so I'm thrilled they opened in OC. This location is more spacious than the Rowland Heights one, but still no seating. They're in soft opening and open until 8pm. Even though it was super busy, it didn't feel crowded at all because they were efficient. The counter looked a little chaotic (like 10 people back there, 8 making drinks), but orders moved fast. You can also order select drinks for pickup on Hungry Panda. Soft opening has a deal of 2 drinks for 20% off. My go-to is the mango pomelo sago, and it easily beats any other version I've had. Fresh mango, nicely sized sago, and super refreshing. Sadly, they were out of grain tea jelly on a Friday night. Overall, their teas and fruit drinks are solid. I haven't tried their matcha, but it looks pretty strong and dark in color. Definitely coming back. read more

Congrats on Auntea Jenny for opening! I swung by today for their soft opening, which includes a combo discount if you download the hungry panda app you can either pick between two different combos: Combo A: with jasmine milk tea, and strawberry daifuku milk tea (i got this one) Combo B: which includes a glutenous rice milk tea, as well as a fiber tea. Overall, it was really well organized, and the wait wasn't too long. The milk tea is so interesting-- and it's my first time seeing those mini straws that are very popular in China! the purpose of the mini straws so that you could savor the pure taste of the milk tea! I'm unsure how that is supposed to work, but the tea is indeed delicious! Super excited to welcome them into the neighborhood and I hope I can try more things from their menu ! read more

Ordering system was easy, but awkwardly placed- similar to sunright, but sunright feels more intuitive. Their menu screen was not reactive and took too long to scroll up and down, kept going to different sections. Wait was 30 mins for 2 drinks ($14 w/o tip). The reason why I didn't give 1 star is bc I kinda like the chewy texture of boba but it wasn't worth it. I got the taro mochi and mine didn't have any mochi but had a lot of powdery. Worst of all, when I tried to stick my straw in through the top, it keeps spilling everywhere. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Its slightly above average. The mango pomelo sago was ok. Yes, go with the recommended 70% sweetness. The glutinous red rice tea was ok as well. The red rice was very tasty, but the tea was average. Busy place, but the service was still good. read more

Stopped by for a quick snack and ordered a couple of egg tarts with an iced coffee. The egg tarts were fresh, flaky, and not overly sweet. The coffee was smooth, and everything went well together. The staff were friendly, and my order came out pretty quickly. Nice little spot if you're craving something sweet with a drink. I'll definitely come back to try more of the drinks and pastries. read more

If you're coming here, I would highly recommend ordering it in advance! There aren't that many seating areas, so definitely not a place to come and hang out. It's a place to go in and pick up your drink, though there are tables outside by the complex area. You can order through your app or you can order via kiosk. I ordered through the app and didn't realize there was a way to customize the drink so it came with the 70% sugar and regular ice, I would've adjusted it had I known. I tried to get the mango coconut saga but they gave me the one with grapefruit instead, I also got the six-berry glow boost tea, and finally the classic Matcha Boba Fresh Milk Tea. Mango Grapefruit - The drink was a little sweet but that was my bad, the mango tasted really fresh though and it was a great non-caffeine drink. I would see myself ordering this for dessert in the future. Six Berry Blow Boost Tea - This drink was really refreshing and light, the boba was popping boba so that was fun to drink. I would definitely order this for a mid day boost. Matcha Boba Fresh Milk Tea - This has got to be my favorite. The boba was so chewy and delicious, the milk didn't give me stomach issues afterwards and the matcha wasn't grainy or chalky, it was perfect. read more

Auntie Jenny's is such a charming spot for Taiwanese-style drinks and desserts! Everything felt thoughtfully made, from the quality of the ingredients to the presentation of the drinks. What stood out to me was how balanced the flavors were. The drinks weren't overly sweet, allowing the tea and fresh ingredients to really shine through. You can tell a lot of care goes into each order, and the quality is noticeable from the very first sip. The shop itself has a clean, cozy, and welcoming atmosphere. It's the kind of place that's perfect for a quick drink, a study session, or catching up with friends. The décor is simple yet inviting, making it easy to relax and enjoy your time there. The staff were friendly, patient, and helpful when answering questions and making recommendations. Their warm service made the experience even more enjoyable. Between the delicious drinks, cozy ambiance, and excellent customer service, Auntie Jenny's is definitely a place worth visiting. I can see why it has become a favorite for so many people, and I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. read more

This was extremely hyped online when they first started opening stores here in SoCal so I've been wanting to try it. However I didn't want to drive out of my way and I'm glad I never did. I finally tried it today since I'm in the area. The plaza that it is located in is very popular with many other stores so the parking was packed. We were able to find a space but they are sort of tight. (Don't worry, didn't knock any stars off for this, just mentioning it.) The line to order was short because they had two kiosk to order from and one person who can take orders. They had several employees helping to make the drinks so it was pretty efficient but it was still about a 15-20 minute wait to get my one simple drink. I do very much appreciate that they had some cute seating for people to wait and take a seat. It's not many so don't plan to come and study here unless you get here early and you don't mind the crowds coming in and out often. The biggest reason I gave this place 3 stars was that the drink didn't taste like anything special--quite average or dare I say, less than average. I got the premium matcha boba fresh milk tea, less ice, 70% sugar (recommended) and it tasted watered down. My husband liked the boba since it was brown sugar and chewy. Thank goodness for the ability or order online, because if there was an even longer wait for this, I might have given it even less stars. I wouldn't come back for it being average and all the other obstacles to ordering here. Seems like the other popular drinks are unique and interesting so maybe it would be a better rating if I wanted to try those other ones but I'm not a big fan of fruit flavored drinks. read more

New tea/boba place. Parking can be a pain at peak dinner times, but plenty of parking at other times. The matcha fresh milk daifuku was so good! The best matcha I've had in a while (outside of Japan). I've never had daifuku (mochi) in a drink before, but it was really good. I would recommend 50% sugar unless you really like it sweet. 50% was perfect. My kids really liked the Mango Pomelo Sago. Once again 50% sugar was probably perfect. The six berry glow pearl was also really good. If you want something fresh and lighter. The pearls were perfect little pop. read more

It's a beverage brand battle... recently I tried Molly Tea (San Gabriel), Chagee (Westfield Century City) and Auntea Jenny (Irvine) to see which one was the best. Auntea Jenny first opened in Shanghai 13 years ago, and has rapidly expanded to over 11,000+ locations worldwide today. There are currently three cafes in the U.S., with more on the way. The Strawberry Green Fresh Milk Tea Daifuku was pleasant. Kind of like a drinkable dessert with sweet fruit flavors and the added mochi topping. Not very impressed with the White Peach Oolong Tea Latte, which was weak and watery. And the Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk Tea was also fairly disappointing; the texture of the tapioca had no chew to it and the flavor wasn't really anything special. Verdict: #1 Molly Tea Premium Jasmine Milk Tea #2 Chagee Boya Tea Latte #3 Chagee Peach Oolong Tea Latte #4 Auntea Jenny Strawberry Green Fresh Milk Tea #5 Molly Tea Gardenia Milk Tea #6 Auntea Jenny White Peach Oolong Tea Latte #7 Auntea Jenny Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk Tea read more

AVOID!! Unless you want to end up waiting almost 2 hrs for a drink which is what happened with me. Placed a door dash order at 5:33pm and received my 2 drinks at 7:18pm. This was my second time here and this will definitely be my last. I saw other people who placed orders after me get theirs before mine. The only comforting thing was that I was not the only one waiting a long time for their drinks. For reference this was on a Sunday afternoon. However, my first visit was on a Tuesday evening and that was almost an hour wait. I will say the customer service was good. The worker taking care of the door dash orders was sweet and apologized for the long wait but as much of a tea, boba lover i am there is none in this world worth an almost 2 hr wait! First visit tried the mango pomelo sago, second visit tried their da hong pao iced latte and strawberry jasmine milk tea with daifuki. While the drinks were good I would say it's nothing amazing or spectacular. Would rather recommend Chagee or Heytea instead read more

Came to auntea Jenny to see what the hype was about and they didn't disappoint! Came on a Tuesday and ordered 3 drinks. We got the jasmine tea latte with oat milk, kale fiber boost, and kale vitamin c boost. All were very good. We added boba to the jasmine milk tea and it was yummy. The kale drinks were also super yummy. The fiber one had crystal popping boba that we weren't expecting but also super good. We got our drinks 4 mins after ordering. I would come back! 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

Small location with kiosks to order by yourself or via their app. Inside is modern with limited chairs. Service is relatively quick and delivered on a number bases.

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
