    Not good.
    Tracy Y.

    I read all the great reviews and thought what can go wrong I am just getting a boba milk tea. Got there, the gal made mine right away. The place is clean. I took a photo and I was going to post it to my IG story but instead I will post it here. I took one taste and then waited until I got home and threw it away. There was 0 tea taste. The boba was a day old and overall it should be called "milk water with day old boba". Reply to owner: is the stale Boba a part of the recipe?

    I loooooved my drink from Bobapop! I got the brown sugar oat milk tea with boba, 100% sweet and less ice. It was very flavorful and a good price for a large size. Inside there is a decent amount of seating and it's decorated so cute! It's also very clean and organized. Along with yummy drinks and a cute store, the service was great! The gal making the drinks was so sweet and helpful. There's also a little parking lot in the back for parking.

    Some of the art decor!

    Bobapop Tea Bar is a nifty little boba shop that's located on Harbor and 19th St in Costa Mesa with a lively pop vibe that have French Bulldogs as their mascot and art decor. My girlfriend and I aren't usually around this area and we just finished having dinner and this place was nearby so why not give it a shot! FOOD Japanese Brown Rice Milk Tea This was my girlfriend's drink but I had a sip and it's not bad! Definitely a different take on milk tea but I would say why not give it a try if you're deciding on it! Brown Sugar Latte I'm a sucker for brown sugar but yes I did enjoy this drink and wouldn't mind ordering it again! I believe it's a crowd-favorite as well! Matcha Cream Croffle First off. Croffle = Croissant + Waffle. It's an interesting fusion that I don't think I've ever seen around but we had the Matcha Cream Croffle and wow that was pretty darn good! We had it for to-go so it wasn't as fresh but I can imagine how it would taste if you were to eat it there! Highly recommend trying it out if you're thinking about hanging out in the shop! OVERALL Not a bad find! Our visit was on a whim and I actually enjoyed our drinks and croffle. The only thing I could say that can improve is the boba, it seemed that it wasn't as fresh. Tasted like it was beginning to harden and should be softer/warmer when served. Other than that though, great atmosphere, 2 different entrances, they even have merchandise which is cool to see and awesome Frenchie decor if you're into that! Thanks for the drinks and croffle Bobapop Tea Bar! We'll visit again if we're around there area!

    Cute little boba shop my boyfriend found on Yelp as we were in the area. The gps directed us to the back side of the building, which is where the parking is. If you are traveling on food you an enter in the front, which is facing the Main Street. They have a variety of drinks to choose from. We ordered thru the self ordering kiosk. Everything is there. I like how it gives you the option for size of drink, ice level, sweetness level and topping you want. I ordered the jasmine brown rice milk tea with boba and my boyfriend got the Vietnamese coffee with coffee jelly. I do wish there was an option to control your toppings (example: easy boba, regular boba, extra boba) Because when I got my drink it was full of boba (not a bad thing for someone who likes a lot of boba in their drink). And when my bf ordered his Vietnamese coffee, it didn't specify the size. He really liked his drink because of the strong coffee taste. I tasted it and it was very coffee forward. This place is cute as their theme seemed to be focused on French bulldogs. They had few seating, and merchandise and accessories for sale.

    Cute boba shop that's aesthetic, clean, with amazing drinks. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered the Coconut Slush w/ grass jelly and it was so smooth and not too sweet. Definitely would recommend this place. The tapioca had amazing texture. Coconut Slush w/ grass jelly: 9.5/10

    Drinks were so good!!! I got the coconut smoothie with grass jelly and boba and it was amazing. I highly recommend this shop!

    Coconut Slush with Grass Jelly
    Christine V.

    Bobapop is such a cute little boba spot with an extensive menu, and everything I've tried has been delicious. My go-to drink is the coconut slush with grass jelly--so good. I did branch out and try the croissant waffle, which wasn't for me. While it's a fun and unique concept, I found it a bit dry and lacking flavor aside from the drizzle of honey or syrup on top. It's located across from the Triangle, so it can get busy depending on the time of day. Parking is a bit limited and tucked in the back, but aside from that, I'd absolutely recommend Bobapop.

    I brought my son here after dinner for popping boba- his dream come true. Parking was a bit tough in the lot behind the store. Inside the shop is tiny but perfect for what it had. My son loved looking at the stickers, pens, and water tumbler. He ordered a strawberry popping boba and absolutely loved it! He said, "this is my favorite drink! 10/10 I want to come back again!!" Will definitely return. We also loved the cute Christmas tree!

    Pros: parking in back of store, clean, quaint and cute! They take Cash/Card therefore no payment discrimination, hours are weekdays (Mon.-Thursday) 10:30am-8pm, Weekends beginning Friday/Saturday 11:30-9pm & Sunday 11:30-8pm. There is a Customer Restroom with purchase code and seating cafe with 2 per table of 3. Cons: none yet! Our first visit here, we were so happy they took cash! Bathroom code was given after purchase. Drinks we purchased were the BobaPop Milk Tea (nondairy), easy ice, 70% sweetness was perfect! And, their Roasted Oolong iced tea with Sea Salt Foam 30% sweetness, easy ice. It was delicious. Cannot wait to come back. Staff was sweet, pleasant and all smiles. Location: On Harbor and West 19th street beside Triangle Square and 24 Hour Fitness.

    Matcha croffle to go

    Great downtown CM Boba place. Our usual boba place has since closed so we found this gem of a boba place. Clean, ample parking, and super drinks. Start with a croffle 10/10 good flavor, crisp and warm. Drink: Iced blended Coconut coffee 10/10, taro milk tea 10/10, and Assam milk tea 10/10. A definite stop for a quick sweet treat!

    Mango Matcha with Brown Sugar Boba

    The Mango Matcha with chewy Brown Sugar Boba is fire ! Well served with friendly customer service and great atmosphere!

    Patricia B.

    My favorite boba shop in the OC! They have so many different flavors, but my favorite is the Brown Sugar Boba and the Taro Milk Tea. The Brown Sugar is always my go to, but I recently tasted the Taro one and it's now one of my faves. It tastes like fruity pebbles. The boba is also chewy, sweet and not too hard. The service is always great when you go. The workers are friendly, but they also have a self-order kiosk. It's always empty when I go, so it's pretty quiet and there's a lot of tables to sit at. The decoration is also soooo cute (such cute dogs) and they also have stickers/keychains on sale. I've never had a problem with parking too behind the building.

    Thai Tea, Taro Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Latte (Boba Included)
    Deej I.

    The family and I randomly tried this spot out and it was pretty good. I ordered the Coco Thai Tea Slush and the fam got a Thai Tea, Brown Sugar Milk Tea, and a Taro Milk Tea. I really liked my drink and everyone else said there's were good as well as the boba itself.

We stumbled into Elixir Tea Bar & Ice Cream and ended up staying way longer than planned (in the best way). The entire space feels like stepping into a magical world, think Harry Potter meets Game of Thrones, with incredible attention to detail. Every corner has something to discover, and yes... there are chess boards on every table, which instantly sets the tone. What really made the visit unforgettable was the owner, Cire. He personally served us, sat and talked chess, and made us feel like we weren't just customers, we were guests in his world. That kind of hospitality is rare. Since my friends were visiting from out of town, he even gave us a behind the scenes tour, including a peek into a hidden, members only room tucked behind a secret bookcase door (yes, it's as cool as it sounds). It honestly felt like we unlocked a level in a game. The drinks and treats were great, but the vibe? Next level. It's whimsical, cozy, immersive, and just... special. This isn't just a place you go, it's a place you experience. Already planning my next visit.

LOCATION: Can be a little sketchy with solicitors outside near the stair entrance. I had a little trouble finding where it was, but it was up the stairs all the way at the end. Boba and food, I hear, can be hit or miss. I got lucky that my drink was good. Cups were all a little sticky, but that's expected from the magic spell, balance a bubble on your wand and put it on your cup paid experience. Water comes out in various colors, and oddly doesn't taste cold even with ice. (Idk if cold is taste but I had the same experience with the water brand black water) Puzzles and group activities everywhere. Come in a character or be a regular civilian, all employees are in character the whole time! Restroom. There's one non vip room restroom that is super decorated. There's even a waiting area with lots to look at. Super awesome place with lots of love and thought put into great ideas. Definitely a must try at least once place, if you don't get overstimulated easily.

I tried their Coconut Mango Boom which is a blend of fresh mango slush, creamy coconut milk, chewy sago (tapioca pearls), and coconut jelly. I chose to get it a little less sweet which is what's recommended and it was the perfect amount of sweetness! The drink was SOOO good, creamy, light and refreshing! I would definitely get this again!

Just like you, hard to believe why a simple pick-up situation can turn into such a chaos. It should be as simple as showing up at the counter, grab and go. Don't save money - hire a store manager so mistakes like these don't happen. --- I ordered via app and the drinks were ready for more than 30 mins. Yet I was not able to pick up because they wanted everyone waited at the pick up line. There were 30-40 drinks waiting on the shelf yet they didn't have a good organization in place to quickly match the order with the right drinks. No employee called out any number. People who ordered at the store (not the app) don't have a good way to know if their drinks are ready unless they went back and forth from the end of the line and went back to the store to check on the screen. So even when their order isn't ready, they went to the line and wait, making the line stuck. No manager on site - no one tried to manage the line. Most employees were heads down making their drinks at the back, minding their own business. No self pick up area. The drinks melted and the milk could go bad. People waited in the sun and suffered.

Tip: Be careful with the sweetness level here because it runs pretty high. I got 75% sweetness for some drinks, and they were still pretty sweet. At 100%, one of the drinks was way too sweet and I had to dilute it. * Wintermelon Tea Latte 5/5 - This was a very tasty drink with a unique flavor from the wintermelon tea. 75% sweetness was perfect. * Peachy Green Tea 2/5 - 100% sweetness was sickening sweet. It was like drinking sugar, and I could barely taste the tea or peach flavor. Once the drink was diluted, it was better. * Matcha Latte 3/5 (75% sweetness) - The matcha was very grainy. It wasn't bad at first, but the graininess became really distracting as I kept drinking it.

We got a boba milk tea which consisted of very very soggy and old boba paired with some of the most diluted black milk tea I've ever had in the past 5 years. Their other drink was some fruit flavored seasonal tea that tasted worse than that cough syrup you all know if you were that lil kid. I won't be coming back to this location ever again. Not worth scrounging the parking lot for a spot since it's a very crowded location.

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.
