    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!

    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!

    Sea Salt Roasted Oolong Tea iced :)

    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.

    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.

At the Costa Mesa location, parking was a little tricky at first, but after circling we got lucky with a corner spot. The location itself is SO cute! It's right next to colorful barrel fountains, and on a sunny day it honestly felt like the perfect coffee outing. The line was pretty long and you are standing in direct sun, so just keep that in mind, but the service was quick and efficient once you order. Inside, it's small but really charming, with Sunny Angels hidden around and a very open, friendly vibe. My sister (who is basically a professional coffee drinker at this point ) got the matcha and said it was her favorite, which says a lot. I got the iced Spanish latte with oat milk, and it was SO good. Spanish lattes are my go-to, and this one had the perfect hint of cinnamon without being overly sweet. Even as the ice melted, it still tasted great, which is rare. The Torrance location was just as good! Parking was easier, the space is bigger, and the service was still super friendly and fast. My husband got the cold brew "Nook way" and finished it in like 10 minutes. He said it tasted like Golden Grahams cereal. Highly recommend both locations and especially the Spanish latte. Definitely worth the visit!

The parking however, was VERY filled during this time. The line was huge for a 11:00am on a Friday morning. We were bummed that the QR code was not working on the very cute wooden signage outside the coffee shop while we were in line, which was a bummer. The Honey Oat Latte with oat milk was delicious. I am notorious for chugging my iced coffee but this was absolutely delicious. A sweet, subtle honey sweetness taste and the creamy oat milk was divine. My manager's Spanish Latte was so much better & I will be getting that next time! We bought our other coworker the Strawberry Matcha, which we did not try & we were worried after the fact because it did not look like it had strawberries in it, but she confirmed it was very tasty and tasted the strawberry! The outside seating areas in this outdoor area was very cute. Lots of fun art, the directory was creative, the CD tunnel was the coolest part! We also walked over to the breakfast burrito place as well. This seems like a nice area to come and relax and just people watch and enjoy a delicious iced latte from Nook.

After it took quite a while for my order to come out, a staff member finally came outside to inform me that they had actually run out of yuzu. It felt a little disorganized and off that it took so long just to realize they were out of an ingredient. Despite the awkward ordering delay, the overall environment is excellent. It's a great, clean space to be productive, and I'd definitely give it another chance.

    Checked this spot out since I was staying at the hotel nearby…read more.. What a neat little spot! Can almost call it a hidden gem! Despite being relatively close to two major colleges - OCC and UCI - this place wasn't as crowded as you'd imagine it would be. They serve coffee, matcha, breakfast foods like breakfast burritos, protein bowls, avocado toasts - but I didn't pick anything to eat since I already had lunch. I shared with the barista that it was my first time here, and he asked what type of drink I was looking for. I told him something iced and caffeinated - and he mentioned his favorite was the Honey Cinnamon Latte - which I opted for - iced, with oat milk. Total was $8.50 including tip. My iced Honey Cinnamon Latte was yummy, creamy, and fantastic! With the oat milk substitute, it sorta tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch in liquid coffee form. It wasn't overly sweet, definitely had a nice kick to it - love this recommendation by the barista! I checked out the rest of the space and used their restroom to wash my hands - it's really a neat space here. Lots of seating. Lots of space. There's an adjacent room that's connected to the cafe called "Flow Space" - which is utilized for small popups and arts & crafts. Neat spot for smaller community members to showcase their wares. Some of the other reviews mentioned no a/c - which had me worried considering we were having a bit of a heatwave lately - but to my pleasant surprise, A/C was on and cold! It was a great escape from the heat. Free wifi - fast enough for a zoom call if you need to hop into one - my speedtest reported download speeds of 17.5MB/s Restroom is clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking - of course, I stopped by a little after 2pm, so already avoiding the tail end of the lunch rush. Only downside is they close kinda early - 4pm - but open up at 7am. Great spot! Will probably be my go-to considering there's ample workspace, plenty of parking, less crowded than other coffee spots in the immediate area. I'm curious to try their matcha the next time I'm here, as well as possibly their breakfast burritos, since photos for that looks delicious.

Since straws were apparently behind the counter since they haven't gotten around to restocking the self-service area, I requested one for my iced latte. Those straws weren't individually wrapped, so it grossed me out when the barista handed one to me with her bare hands. It's a cute shop with minimalist, modern vibes. Barely any parking there, so we parked a block away and walked over to its little nook. They also sell a variety of roasted beans, and we liked the Pantan Sinaku Indonesia beans from Dune Coffee Roasters. If I were to come back, I'd try the Shakerato, as it seems to be consistently crowd-pleasing.
