    I love coming here! The owner is so nice and recommended me the strawberry banana smoothie and the matcha creamy latte! I was very happy and satisfied with the recommendation.

    Tiger Milk Tea

    This place is pretty good but I wouldn't say it's my favorite place to get drinks.... But it's pretty busy like lot's of people come here... I kinda feel like there's a good amount of older people hanging out here..didn't try the food just the drinks... seems to be pretty popular

    We ordered 4 drinks, three of which were Avocado smoothies and 1 was a Thai smoothie. I thought California banned powered flavored drinks? I over heard the staff say "get more avocado powder!", which kind of turned us off a bit. The avocado smoothies ended up tasting like coconut, but the Thai smoothie was fine. Will definitely not recommended this spot to anyone.

    Strawberry Slush & caramel coffee freeze w/ boba
    Diana N.

    I was craving boba this past Sunday and decided to stop by the first boba spot we spotted - Boba Ya it was! I ordered the strawberry slush w/ boba (.80 cents extra) & my boyfriend ordered the caramel coffee freeze. The drinks were good & the boba tasted really fresh - more on the sweeter side - but nonetheless, satisfied my craving! They have quiet a few things on their menu not only smoothies/coffees/milk teas. Cool little spot that offers free wifi for customers with a good amount of tables.

    Fish Bread

    Wonder why they ask what flavor we want if they only put this much of red bean in it. Only thing we found inside the bread is brush hair and no apologies! 긁

    Ordered the Dalgona Milk Tea. Wasn't worth $5.25
    Brandon T.

    The service was quick and friendly. I ordered the dalgona milk tea. Didn't like the $0.50 charge with no ice. I get it, but I was glad I didn't order it because the drink was mid. Literally just tasted the milk. Did not have any tea flavor at all in my opinion. Maybe their fruit tea is better, but I am not going out of my way to come back anytime soon.

    I'm so happy that I went rite on time, before they close! The service is fast, the staff at the counter explains me well that for the fish bread, the last order was at 10pm, we came late so I understand that. I got Tiger Milk Tea and Dalgona! Honestly, it's not watery at all, the consistency and the taste is really good! It's so refreshing! And I'm definitely gonna be back for more!

    Cream Waffle!
    Matt K.

    This place has really good dalgona milk tea and cream waffle! I definitely recommend! The lady who took my order was very nice and considerate. She apologized for the waffle being cooked too late as she served me the dalgona milk tea first. I didn't mind because I wanted to give a chance for the dalgona to melt to give it more flavor throughout. The waffle was so worth the wait!

There was also a yogurt-like cream on the bottom, and I personally could have gone without this cream, but loved the drink nonetheless! Service: You self order, and the drink comes out pretty fast in five to ten minutes. The cashiers are nice and call you by your name! Ambiance: The best quality about this cafe is it's such a nice place to study with many tables inside, a few tables outside, and a clean bathroom. Parking is also easy with a upstairs lot facing Vivot! There's also a bit of area to walk around the cafe for a study break! Also huge shout out to this cafe's hours as they're open from 7 AM-11 PM, so you feel no rush to quickly finish your tasks! Please come to Vivot for not only a refreshing drink, but a beautiful place to study that is open late!

    My second time here…read more Drinks: underwhelming. Not well proportioned ingredients between the chosen flavor, milk and matcha. Waterdowned with plenty of ice. Price: overpriced for both drinks and sandwivhes. Although I don't mind paying extra for a satisfying drink, this one is not one of those. Ambiance: the walls, decor, plants and furnitures needs plenty of improvement. It looked like they were going for a minimalist look but it seems too bland and all over the place. I appreciate the music but the overall ambiance is not very inviting. Service: self serve to order and they ask for tip? The customers are expected to clear the tables and put away food and drink containers. It doesn't make sense. Parking: it's downtown fullerton, unless you know the area, it might be difficult for you to find parking especially during peak hours. But there's a couple of parking structure nearby which is a plus because it's covered and free. By the way, I initially ordered the classic strawberry matcha for comparison to other matcha drinks I've had from other cafes and I came the 2nd time to try the matcha flight to give it a chance but I was underwhelmed on both times. On both occasion I ordered my drinks with coconut milk and it was so overpowering and matcha flavor is very mild and with addition of plenty of ice, it taste like a waterdowned green drink that's milky in flavor.

    //Drinks: Strawberry + Pineapple tea with boba…read more In a city where there is very few boba shops, it is always nice to try the new ones out. The teas are made with mix of syrups and powders (lemonade) but so are the drinks at most boba shops. Overall the taste of strawberry and pineapple was a good choice, the boba was just okay in my opinion. //Service & The Shop: The cashier and the girl making the drinks were super friendly. We were told that there was a buy one get one for 50% off deal because of their grand opening. Inside it is very basic looking, and not quite finished yet. Some of the picture frames did not have any pictures in them. I am sure this will all get sorted out in due time. //Notes: The wife and I have gone to probably over 100+ different boba shops so we are kind of hard graders on boba shops. This one is pretty standard and will face some competition when the other shops (bigger named brands) open up nearby. It is across the street from a Dutch Bros. which will make it hard to compete as well. I hope it does well, and I'll stop again whenever I am in the area.

    We saw that there was a new boba spot in town and were super excited to try it out! We came late…read moreafternoon, and we were a bit worried because the location does not have their hours posted anywhere. Luckily the shop was open and not terribly crowded. The space is large, clean, and bright with huge windows! It really is such a cute space and it fits the vibe of the shop perfectly. Their menu is pretty big with lots of flavors for tea and boba. I chose their mango fruit tea, and my partner chose their horchata matcha milk tea. The horchata matcha was really tasty and I also enjoyed my mango tea. The boba is fresh, which is great because many spots don't always have good chewy boba. The service is friendly and we got our drinks pretty quickly after ordering which is definitely a plus. The only thing I would say is a downside is the hours of the store. Since they don't have them posted it makes it difficult to know when they're open, and I would probably only stop here if I was driving immediately by and saw people inside. Aside from that it's a solid boba spot and definitely one I would consider going back to.

There were two couples ahead of us…read moreordering, and the lights in the main waiting area were turned off while we were still there. When it was finally our turn, they told us they were closing early at 11:45 PM due to being short-staffed--even though it was only 11:15 PM at the time and the posted closing time is 12 AM. They still took our order, but the interaction felt rushed and uncomfortable. While I was trying to decide what to order, they kept emphasizing that they were closing early, which made it feel like we were being pushed to hurry. I understand being short-staffed and didn't expect full service, but basic courtesy and clear communication would have made a big difference. It would have been more respectful to let customers know about the early closing when we walked in, rather than waiting until our turn after helping others. The overall experience felt unwelcoming and poorly communicated.

The place looked great. Very empty. I was not greeted at all there were two young employees. When I walked in the guy looked at me and walked away. They both had headphones in. My drinks were ready on the counter. I asked the girl that walked up to the front if they were under "____" and she said yeah that's yours and walked away. Rude. We tasted the drinks. I was so excited but my husband said his drink was very sweet. I thought he was exaggerating. Nope. Extremely sweet and the boba had some hard ones. Mine had hardly any boba and was missing the caramelized brown sugar. Again the boba was flavorless and hard. It made my stomach hurt so I didn't even drink half of it. Super disappointing. There is a lot of room for improvement with the employee's attitude, customer service and drink making. It's a no for me. I rate 2 stars. 1 for the cute cafe and 1 for the wait time.
