    Went back today to try some other drinks and Jesus was super helpful! He provided great customer service and answered all our questions. The coco dew was probably my favorite drink today.

    This is my go-to place whenever I crave boba. I love that they have a wide variety of teas and customizable sweetness levels, and you can add fresh boba of your choice. Their Peach Jasmine Milk Tea is not too sweet and perfectly suits my taste, so it is one of my frequent orders. The staff is also friendly, which makes the experience satisfying. As for parking, it is located inside a large plaza, so parking is always available whenever I go. It is also fun to grab a boba and go shopping at the Target right next door.

    Bengong Tea is one of my favorite places to grab a drink and relax. Their teas are always delicious, with plenty of options to choose from, and they also offer tasty macarons if you're looking for a sweet treat. The café has ample seating, free WiFi, and even a selection of games, making it a great spot to hang out with friends, study, or get some work done. Another bonus is that they frequently have drink specials available through the Retail Therapy app, which makes an already great experience even better. If you're looking for a comfortable tea shop with a welcoming atmosphere and excellent drinks, Bengong Tea is definitely worth a visit.

    I don't even know what words to use to describe this experience. They were running a BOGO promotion. When you place your order, you're supposed to manually add the free second drink. I placed two separate orders and forgot to add the free drink on my second order. When I asked the girl for help, she kept saying, "You're supposed to add the second drink to your order." The girl barely looked at me, seemed completely uninterested, and refused to make the drink over such a small mistake. Instead of trying to be understanding or accommodating, they hid behind a technicality. Yes, I forgot to click one button, but good customer service is about helping customers, not looking for reasons to deny them over an honest mistake. This was some of the worst customer service I've had. They'd rather save the cost of one drink than treat a customer with basic courtesy. The other girls seemed nice. I wouldn't want one employee's attitude to reflect on the rest of the staff because it's not their fault. My experience was only with her. the drinks are good though. it's too bad that they're closed. but just wow

    Great vibes but drinks were average. I tried the Mango Pomelo Sago and thought it was a bit underwhelming compared to other mango drinks I've tried like Auntea Jennys. Sizes aren't that big either for the price. It's a decent place to chill with friends and located with other stores - not bad to walk around.

    Peach oolong milk tea with cream top
    Kelly N.

    Not bad. A huge selection, so hard to decide since a lot of drinks looked good. Staff was patient. Our party of 4 was satisfied with our drinks. Beware: the strawberry peach sparkling tea was very sweet (like OG tea places' 100% sweet). I liked my peach oolong milk tea with cream top. It was truly cream--whipped cream. And my favorite part was some ?barley inside. The pecans were a nice touch, but also tasted like they could've been fresher. My friend liked his hot peach oolong milk tea, which surprisingly also had barley at the bottom. My other friend and my bf liked their strawberry peach sparkling tea. They said it was like a sweet mocktail. One out of two of them found it to be too sweet (the other one likes soda and would probably drink it every hot day if it were good for you). The decor is cute and clean. Some large families came in on a temperate March Sunday mid-afternoon, so it got a bit busy. Overall average and the barley in peach oolong MT was a delightful touch. However, since I only might come back if in the area, 3 stars for now.

    Cute place, if you enjoy your drink here, there are tables, games and table top activities available. Check out the counter space opposite of ordering and see what is displayed. Excellent tea and creative flavors. Our group of 5 ordered different drinks and we were all satisfied. I ordered their signature drink mango pomelo with my adjusted sweetness preference, wow it was so good, so refreshing, not tart, perfect! We came on a Sunday, there were many drink orders Togo. Had a little wait for our drinks, but didn't mind . Seemed to be one worker making the drinks at the time, and she was killin' it! Made each drink with intention, consistency, many satisfied customers. She was in her zone. Amazing job! It's hard to find good workers these days!

    I got a grape cheese slush and a passion fruit sparkling tea. Both drinks were delicious. The only thing that I wasn't a big fan of was with large drinks with the dome lid the straws are too short and barely stick out of the cup making it a bit hard to mix the drinks. I wasn't able to mix the grape cheese slush and ended up drinking just the cheese at the end which wasn't bad but I would've preferred if it was mixed together. There is a kiosk that you can order from and a screen that lets you know when your order is ready so there is minimal interaction with staff. There's lots of tables and seating indoors. There are also activities to do and card games that you can use while you hand out at the store.

    I LOVE BenGong's Tea. I wish I could come here everyday. I tried it a few months ago for a yelp event and just keep coming back. They are 100/10 in my opinion. Drinks- 100/10. Oh my God their drinks are heaven. I looooooove the toasted brown sugar milk tea (75% sweet with regular ice). It's like heaven in a cup. The crunchy sugar on the top just makes it so delicious. Their boba is the perfect texture too. My date got the caramel cheese milk tea and it was equally as good. I want to try every drink on the menu! Service- 100/10. Every time I have come here the service has been amazing. Everyone that works here is so sweet and makes the drinks so delicious. Environment- 9/10. The decorations are sooooo cute. It's such a cute space to go with friends and grab drinks. They also play jazz which sets such a cool mood. My only complaint is that the chairs are cute, but they are all stained which isn't too heartwarming to sit on. Extras- It's in the Tustin Marketplace, so there's tons of parking. It's next to lots of great restaurants and shops too. Whenever I have come there hasn't been a long line so you get your drinks quickly :)

    Ordered mango bloom for $7.25. Drink had plenty of mango pieces. Ample parking in shared lot.

    The best boba spot I've found in southern Cali. The staff were super friendly with cute decors. I can definitely spend a few hours here with a couple of friends. Highly recommend this place, by far the best milk tea. If you prefer to have more of the tea taste, this is the place!!

    Osmanthus Rice Milk Frost $6.95 with brown sugar boba (extra $1)
    Mary D.

    BenGong's Tea is a tea shop chain that blends traditional Chinese tea with modern flavors. They offer milk teas, fruit teas, cheese teas, slushies, and other signature drinks. I got the OSMANTHUS RICE MOCHI FROST. It was a creamy, blended drink with notes of floral. It had a bit of a rice wine taste to it which I enjoyed. It was also topped with crunchy bits of water chestnut boba. I also added boba for $1, but I didn't know the drink already had the water chestnuts so it was a little too much texture. I got the drink at 25% sweetness, which was perfect. The boba was warm but a little hard and I would not get that in the future. They were super busy on a weekend around lunch time and we waited about 10-15 minutes for our order. The inside was cute and there are a few tables to enjoy your tea. There is also a "wish tree" as an nice decoration. I look forward to trying their mango sago, black rice taro milk tea, other specialty drinks, as well as their milk and fruit teas in the future. Stay thirsty my friends! Yelp Review #8- 2026

    The staff was very nice and there's plenty of parking next to Target. Unfortunately, the drinks tasted very artificial and like someone added essential oils. Orange Jasmine: the orange tasted very fake and you couldn't taste the Jasmine tea. Osmanthus Rice Mochi: the osmanthus had a fake floral perfume taste and the rice was like popping boba. The mochi got stuck in the straw. Da Hong Pao Tea: this tasted like a regular black tea with a weird tangy aftertaste. The interior had cute decorations and some seating but the drinks were unpleasant. I wouldn't recommend it unless you get a fruit smoothie.

    Stopped by around 4 PM on a Saturday. The plaza has a decently sized parking lot, so even though it…read morewas pretty busy, finding a spot was easy. There was a short line to order, and our drinks came out just a few minutes later. I ordered my usual, the Ube Cheese Foam Slush, and it was as good as always. It's smooth, creamy, and definitely on the sweeter side, so I usually come here to get it as a dessert or smoothie rather than a traditional tea. The cheese foam adds a slightly salty finish that balances the sweetness really well. We also tried the Peach Yogurt Yakult. The Yakult flavor came through nicely, and it wasn't overly sweet. The only complaint was the peach pieces. They settled at the bottom and didn't really blend with the drink, even after stirring. If I were to order it again, but I could do without the peach bits. The shop has a good amount of seating. Most people were chatting with friends, but there were also a few people working on laptops, so it's a place where you can either hang out or get some work done. Service was friendly, and one small detail is that I always appreciate their to-go bags. They're sturdy and insulated, making carrying multiple drinks much easier. Overall, it's one of my favorite boba spots, and I'd definitely keep coming back, especially for the Ube Cheese Foam Slush.

It's a long drive for me so I hadn't been in a while, but I was excited to grab my usual on the way to an event. Cold Yuzu Dragonfruit Refresher via the Toast app. Easy pickup. Great plan. Except the drink that was waiting for me was noticeably smaller. Like, significantly. I'm estimating around 12oz. Was it delicious? Yes. Was it worth $9+ when $9 used to mean at least 16oz? Not for me. I get that prices have gone up everywhere. That's just life right now. But the menu gave zero indication that the size had changed, and that's the part that stings. Let me make an informed decision. I probably would've still ordered it. Treat yourself, y'know? But, I just would've mentally prepared to pay a premium for a smaller pour instead of being surprised at pickup. A little transparency goes a long way.
