    SURPRISINGLY STRONG. Tucked away near hako, this place surprised me! They also serve little bites and stuff here.

    Quick and fast service, atmosphere of the shop seemed calm and serene - good for studying. I ordered the Cookies and Crème macaron and the Cookies and Dream with extra boba and red bean.

    Got their lychee strawberry kiss with added red bean and white peach oolong iced tea, and both were pretty tasty. Didn't like how floral the oolong was, but I should have inquired. The other drink was really good together with the red bean. Definitely would come back for that.

    One of my PTO mom friends told me about Boba Square and she was right -- they are so easy to work with and really care about making drinks that their customers will like. I reached out to the owner to place an order of 50 drinks for our science team and they were so thoughtful about recommending low caffeine drinks appropriate for a group of tweens. The kids absolutely loved the drinks and asked me to re-order them for our next science competition in Irvine.

    Boba Square is one of my favorite spots for fruit tea, and it's a place I consistently come back to when I'm in the area. I tend to rotate between a handful of drinks, but they're always reliable and well-balanced, which says a lot. The lines are usually reasonable, though the shop itself is pretty small, so I usually just order my drinks to go. Prices are fair for the quality, especially considering how generous they are with fillings. A lot of their drinks come fully loaded, so I never feel the need to add extra toppings. The Peachy Berry is a great example--it comes with strawberry bursting pieces and grass jelly, which add great texture and make the drink feel more complete and satisfying. Overall, it's a solid spot for fruit tea with consistent quality and good portions.

    Black Sugar Milk Boba
    Jessy C.

    I tried the black sugar milk tea and it was good but I don't know if I want to spend $6-7 on one drink. The place is small so not too many people can hang out inside. Service is nice. I like that they give you options for the ice.

    Is this the best Irvine spot for after lunch, sports, tutoring, dinner boba drink cravings? Oh yeah, @boba_square in Irvine has been satisfying all boba lovers in the OC with their bouncy and chew boba balls. Their boba goes well with every drink and their yummy popcorn chicken!

Come check them out!

    White Peach Oolong Milk Tea . Recommend!
    Di L.

    Craving something sweet after a savory lunch. First time here and was pleasantly surprised they have a peach oolong. I love a good peach tea. This was fragrant and fruity, perfect for summer. Also got the Phoenix King which unfortunately tasted like flavored water. My preference is less sugar to taste the tea, and the Phoenix tasted weak, so I would not recommend. However, will def return for the peach tea. It's the only local tea shop I know that has a peach selection.

    it was really good they made my drink fast and it tasted really good. variety of items on their menu, games in the shop and they also sell food and macrons and the servers were very kind!

    PARKING: Pretty decent parking! Just park on the outskirts as the market is the main attraction in this plaza. SEATING: Typical boba shop layout. Big table, one small table, and a counter top. Seating on the outside as well. There's a couple of games they provide such as connect four and tic tac toe! SERVICE: Quick service! They were helpful to ask if I had any questions. Super nice people working at the counter! FOOD: Got the green thai tea with oat milk and it was fantastic! Just the right amount of sweetness and I could really taste the tea! Really enjoyed savoring it by the window! You could people watch! OVERALL: A nice low-key boba shop! Would come back if I'm ever in the area again!

    This is my second time back at this boba shop, and a big part of that was thanks to Drew. From the moment I walked in, he was super friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful with recommendations. You can tell he really knows the menu and cares about making sure customers get exactly what they want. The drinks were fresh, well-balanced, and not overly sweet, or it can be depending on your preference which I really appreciated. Overall, the service and quality made this a spot I'll definitely be coming back! I also think this is better than omomo

    Green Thai Milk Tea
    Michael B.

    This is quickly becoming my favorite local spot for boba. They really just hit all the checkmarks. 1. Fantastic variety. Tons of different milk and fruit teas, including some more unique flavors like guava. 2. Delicious taste/quality. So far I've had Green Thai (pictured below), house milk tea, wintermelon milk tea, and pink guava. None of them disappointed. They also add fun toppings like basil seeds and star jellies. 3. Great service and ambiance. The workers are pretty quick to help you out, even though there's a self-order screen. Interior design is sleek and pleasing. They even have some food items. I've tried their popcorn chicken and fries. I might prefer some other locations for this kind of food, but hey, at least they have something! All in all, I'm thankful that I found this spot, which is so close to where I live in Woodbury.

    Popcorn Chicken
    Peter T.

    I went here cause it was next to work. They greet you upon arriving and had really friendly service. Their drinks were refreshing but I would come back just for the popcorn chicken alone. Crunchy, moist, and packs a lot of flavor. Highly recommend overall!

    Does the non dairy creamer you use has casein? I am allergic to this milk protein, casein, in the non dairy creamer and have reaction. My asian body isn't good with milk traces.

    Hi Thy! Our non dairy creamer ingredients are glucose syrup, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, whey powder, sodium caseinate and a couple of stabilizers. I hope this answer your question

    Do the milk teas have dairy? If so, is there a non-dairy option?

    Majority of our milk tea uses non dairy creamer and the ones that do not can always be adjusted to a non dairy option! Our house milk tea which is our number 1 seller is already non dairy :)

I tried their Coconut Mango Boom which is a blend of fresh mango slush, creamy coconut milk, chewy sago (tapioca pearls), and coconut jelly.

    MISLEADING ADVERTISEMENT FOR WORLDCUP MAGNET PROMO!!!!…read more Hey Tea has a promotion stating "BUY 2 Drinks and get a random worldcup magnet" so my daughter asked that we go. I don't like bubble tea but to honor her request to get these cute little magnets we went out of our way to get some tea yesterday. When we arrived, there was a sign in the window showing the promo - NO WHERE STATING YOU HAD TO PLACE IN PERSON ORDER RATHER THAN APP. So out of convenience, although there was hardly a line when we arrived, we ordered two orders of two drinks via the app. We waited over 30 mins for those drinks. To our regrettable surprise, the girl who handed us the drinks said the magnets were only included in the orders placed in person. We said no one said that nor was it advertised anywhere otherwise we would have placed in person. WHAT DOES IT MATTER REGARDLESS? MONEY IS MONEY AND EVERYONE HAS TO WAIT IN PERSON TO PU. We asked for the magnets since we didn't know. THEY COLDLY DECLINED GIVIBG US TWO MAGNETS WHICH PROBABLY COST THEM $0.10 Each BUT COST US $25 + OVER 30 Mins AND RUINED MY DAUGHTER'S EXCITEMENT AND JOY OF RECEIVING THE WORLD CUP MAGNETS. How cold and disrespectful. First of all - very misleading and doesn't even make sense. We would never have made that trip if it weren't for that promo and you couldn't even give us two magnets? Ridiculous. While I appreciate the business manager feedback, the appropriate response would be "we apologize for the lack of communication - please come by to receive two magnets".

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.
