The Thai tea had that rich, creamy tea taste with the perfect amount of sweetness, and the brown sugar boba added a warm caramel-like flavor that made it even better. The strawberry matcha boba was super refreshing. The strawberry added a sweet fruity layer that balanced the earthy matcha really well, and it wasn't overly sweet. The boba itself was soft and chewy, exactly how it should be. Both drinks felt really well balanced and not watered down, which is always a win. If you like classic milk teas or fun matcha combos, these are definitely worth trying.

This place is NOT for fruit tea lovers!!! If you are craving fruit teas, go to HN Tea down the…read morestreet instead. The shop is cute on the outside, staff are friendly, and all is clean. I was fooled by that as well as the pictures (of non fruity drinks) and reviews... Actually the second worst teas I've ever had in my 15+ years of drinking boba. The quality of the tea is terrible and the fruit used doesn't taste or look fresh at all. I tried the strawberry green tea and the lychee green teas. The lychee tea I threw away after one sip, the strawberry tea I struggled with and couldn't finish either. !!!! Take a look at pictures people post of the strawberry green - it looks brown with a few chunks of soggy fruit. Let me tell you it tastes the way it looks. Anywhere else the same drink is naturally red with fresh fruit. I've also tried other fruit teas multiple times across several years since they opened in case I came on bad days. It was just as bad a week ago as it was when they first opened...Never spending a single penny more here. Perhaps the milk teas are decent, but I honestly don't know how they could be when the fruit teas are such a miss...

The sad thing is they don't have reward points here that link to their other location in SGV. I ordered the King of Mango smoothie (8.75) less sugar. I was going to get something different but ended up back to my go-to order. Drink was ready in less than 10 minutes. The king of mango is as good as the other location I tried. The mango is fresh and not artificially sweet. The green tea jelly was also good and you can taste the tea. Very good! A bit pricey but it is the price of fresh fruit I guess. They have no seating inside, just a small bench. However, they do have outdoor seating so you can chill outside with your drink. Great boba spot! One of my favorites!

Short wait time for the drinks. The Ruby Grapefruit tea and Chi Chi Strawberry Smoothie were both great. Their tea jelly is really bouncy with good texture.

HNTEA was such a great experience! The shop is super clean, has an amazing atmosphere, and the…read morestaff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. They were happy to customize my drink exactly how I wanted it, which I really appreciated. I ordered the Dragon Lemon Green Tea, but asked them to remove the green tea, add coconut milk, and make it 50% sweet. It was an absolute 10/10! So refreshing, perfectly balanced, and honestly one of the best drinks I've had. I'll definitely be ordering it again! I also tried the Strawberry Jasmine Green Tea at 50% sweetness. It wasn't my favorite, but I realized that's just because jasmine tea isn't really my thing not because the drink was made poorly. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. The drinks were fresh, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was such a vibe. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu. Highly recommend!

Clean, bright, and classy interior! No music was playing when I went, so it was quiet. Seating is…read moremostly seat pads for waiting, small talk, or grab n go - not a study or working space. Staff is friendly & greets upon entry. Ordering is done through one large tablet, and drinks came out surprisingly fast. Minor observation - there's so much glare on the screen during the day being directly across the windows, but not a dealbreaker. The menu mentions that hot teas make the wait time a bit longer cause they heat it'll up. Topping options are somewhat limited, but that's perfectly fine for me since I always choose aloe vera. They also offer soy and oat milk alternatives, though the menu notes that dairy provides the creamiest texture for their milk teas and encourages you to stick with dairy if you can have it. Mountain Rock Oolong Tea Latte is a solid option. The HNT Trinity Latte is an interesting option if you're indecisive. It combines three different teas into one drink, and I could definitely pick up both jasmine and oolong notes. Overall, a clean and efficient tea shop with friendly service and quality tea - will stop by again when I'm in the area!

That way, I can also see all the descriptions of the drinks. I like their mochi drinks a lot and like that they have seasonal limited drinks like the pistachio series they're doing right now. I also like the different types of jellies. It's nice that you can change the cane sugar to honey at no additional cost. This place does get busy but the staff does a good job keeping up. Parking is tough because Diamond Jamboree is always super busy.

The ambiance was absolutely adorable, with a fun and charming atmosphere that makes the experience feel special from the moment you walk in. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and perfect for anyone who loves a cute and creative dining experience We enjoyed their afternoon tea, which came with a preset menu featuring a variety of treats. The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making our visit even more enjoyable One thing to note: the portions are on the lighter side, so I wouldn't recommend coming extremely hungry because the preset menu may not be enough for a full meal. However, it's a wonderful spot to relax, take photos, enjoy the atmosphere, and create a fun memory I'll definitely be back again for the experience, ambiance, and delicious treats!

Hello Kitty Café is a themed café experience that leans heavily into the charm and nostalgia of…read moreSanrio, making the atmosphere just as much a part of the visit as the food and drinks. We walked into a space designed around soft colors, cute details, and Hello Kitty inspired decorations that make it feel more like stepping into a character themed world than a traditional café. The attention to detail throughout the space is what makes the experience stand out, especially if you enjoy taking photos or are a longtime Sanrio fan. The interior is playful and intentional, with every corner offering something visually engaging that fits the brand's aesthetic. The café offers a mix of desserts, pastries, and drinks that match the playful theme. The desserts are designed to be visually appealing with Hello Kitty inspired touches, from decorated cookies and macarons to cakes and specialty treats. The madeleines are a simple but enjoyable option, with a light texture that makes them easy to snack on while taking in the surroundings. The apple pie is another highlight, offering a nice balance of sweetness and texture without feeling overly heavy, a good choice if you want something that feels like a proper dessert rather than just a novelty item. The drink menu also fits the theme well, with options like strawberry based lattes that bring the colorful aesthetic together and add to the overall visual appeal of the visit. The main appeal here is really the overall experience rather than just stopping by for a dessert. The tea room adds a more elevated feel with a dedicated sit down setting, while the main café area works well for a quick visit to grab a drink or treat. The tea room in particular feels more intentional, with a setup that encourages you to settle in and enjoy the space rather than rushing through. The staff adds to the experience with friendly service that matches the welcoming atmosphere of the space, making the visit feel warm and approachable even for those who are not deeply familiar with the brand. Because the café is built around a specific theme, it is the type of place where expectations matter. It is less about finding the most innovative desserts and more about enjoying the combination of food, décor, and the Hello Kitty experience. The cute presentation and photo friendly environment make it a fun stop, especially for fans of Sanrio or anyone looking for a memorable café visit. The food is enjoyable, but it is the setting that makes the visit feel distinct from a standard café. Hello Kitty Café succeeds at creating a fun and immersive experience. The desserts and drinks are enjoyable, but the biggest reason to visit is the atmosphere and attention to detail. It feels like a place designed for slowing down, taking photos, and enjoying a little bit of nostalgia, offering a visit that feels more like an activity than just a quick stop for a sweet treat.

How have I never reviewed 7 Leaves before? I think I've been a loyal customer since I was in…read moreelementary school haha. It's just always a reliable place to go if you're craving a simple milk tea and want fast service. A lot of the times I visit, they're done making my drink before I've even finishing paying! I now mainly use the 7 Leaves app, which is even faster and great because I get points. The assam milk tea here has seen every high and low of mine over the last ten years. Sometimes I venture out and get the taro or jasmine milk tea, and the secret menu black & tan (jasmine milk tea+vietnamese coffee) is also really good. I alternate between grass jelly and aloe topping here.

I particularly LOVE this Irvine location because it's conveniently located uber close to my home; in the Arbor Village Center, on the corner of Jeffrey & Walnut (near Sunmerry bakery & Taiko). I can literally go in & out quickly and efficiently. The staff is always uber nice and the vibe is so chill. It allows me to get-on with my day with a pep in my step! Shhh..I personally am usually in the mood for the off-the menu/semi-secret for those who know..you know..black & tan with grass jelly. It's a MUST TRY! #trust It's just the perfect blend of half coffee/half tea, for days when I don't wanna commit to a heavy dose of caffeine. Also depending on my need for alertness, I sometimes add an extra shot of expresso. My other favs are their House Coffee ~ for those days I NEED a stronger go get 'em kick. Its nutty, smooth taste, just hits all the right spots..if you know what I mean. And I definitely hit up my Viet Coffee when I need to get sh*t done. IYKYK..viet coffee is like liquid crack. You will be jumping the walls and knocking items off your to-do list in no time. LOL Lastly, for days when I crave tea..sea cream Jasmine tea (plus or minus boba) is where it's at!!! That good quality Jasmine tea satisfies all your boba taste buds every time. Totally not bitter tasting at all. It's the perfect sweetness too, IMO. Pro Yelp/RxFoodie tip: Don't forget to sign-up & use your 7 leaves app to collect them "leaves" (aka points) for your purchases. Save up your leaves to redeem for goodies!!! 55 leaves gets you a free 20 oz drink or macarons at 20 leaves. AND you can earn exclusive offers, including birthday freebies or other special deals. #thankmelaters CHEERS!!!
