First time and we got the top two drinks. Husband got the Amber Oolong which was very tea forward and refreshing. I got the BOYA Tea Latte. I liked it was light for a latte. Neither was very caffeinated. Service was quick, straight forward. We got our drinks togo but plenty of seating, just a bit tight. Would definitely come back to try other drinks but not a place I would want to hang out at.

Large jasmine brewed tea

When: 1:30pm on Sunday, minimal line, got my drink within 5 mins. What: Large brewed jasmine green tea unsweetened. Experience: It was underwhelming. Though I got something simple (intentional), it was to really see how good of a tea quality it is without any alteration (with milk or sugar). The tea was alright but I've had much better jasmine green tea before from David's tea or other loose leaf tea houses.

Finally got to try this place and was surprised at the flavor of the teas! Since it was my first time, the server was super helpful in answering some questions I had. I ended up getting the Amber Oolong Tea and the Boya Jasmine Green Tea Latte. They were both really good, you could really taste the tea they extract with each brew! The amber tea had a roasted taste and the Jasmine was floral without it being too overpowering. I usually get my drinks half sugar but per the servers recommendation, their perfect sweetness is their regular so that's what I went with and it wasn't too sweet at all! They also had samples for their Peach Oolong and it tasted really refreshing too! I usually don't like this combination because most places make it too peachy it tastes almost artificial, but theirs was a really nice refreshing balance. The store is inside the Shops at Mission Viejo so there's plenty of parking and it's not crowded at all. Quiet ambiance with limited seating inside, but you're in a mall!

Ambience/Interior: 5 Service: 5 Food: 4 The menu is super simple and straight forward. No toppings available. I go the hot 16oz Ceylon black tea latte. It was brewed and prepared on the spot. I liked how creamy the tea latte was. I also loved the aesthetics, it looks fancy and classy. However, I didn't love the price tag. The tea is over $8 (with no toppings!)

OK so first things first. It's not a boba place. I'm lookin' at you, Google Maps. But! A great accident of Googling, this was a great find. Delicious tea. Other reviewers were right, they really respect the tea itself. Even the sweetened iced tea had just enough sweet to cut the natural astringency of the tea. I always go for "light ice" to avoid the "ice with a little tea" effect, and that worked just fine here. I moved here from Texas, where sweet tea is usually watered down corn syrup with food coloring and a little flavor. What a palate cleanser! The place itself has a minimalist, clean aesthetic to go with the no-frills tea. And it was in and out; I had my tea in no time.

Chagee moving to south Orange County is a very nice move by Chagee! This location is located in the Mission Viejo mall and is currently not too busy. For now. I've been to multiple locations in China and I'm not sure what it is but the tea here tastes a bit different but not in a bad way. Not too much seating inside but there's a lot of seating outside in the mall. Clean place. Good service.

I ordered the black tea latte and what stood out right away was how strong the tea flavor is in a good way. It's bold, slightly smoky, and doesn't get drowned out by the milk like a lot of other places do. You can actually taste the tea, which I really appreciate. Also, can we talk about their packaging? The containers are so nice and feel kind of fancy it just makes the whole experience a little more enjoyable. I wish they had more variety or options to try because I'd definitely keep coming back to explore more flavors. But overall, if you're into real tea flavor and not just sugary drinks, this place is worth it.

Newly opened tea spot inside the Shops at MV. I first heard about Chagee from my fellow elites at a Yelp event. Since then, I was curious to see what the hype was about. On opening day, the lines were insane. They were also giving out Chagee totes (super cute and reminds me of the Dior book totes). This is located on the ground floor right across Old Navy, and directly below Tommy Bahama. They have a decent sized seating area to enjoy your bevvy and chat. Weeknights, no lines. Perfect time to try. I tried the iced peach oolong lemon special-tea. I did it with no adjustments... and it is pretty darn good. $8 for a drink is pretty steep but I appreciate and 100% taste the difference in the quality of tea they use and how they brew it. The lemon makes this drink extra refreshing. I also appreciated the nutritional facts label plastered on each drink. It is very helpful to know that this drink has 230 calories, a whopping 1 gram of protein, and contains 135mg of caffeine and I absolutely have no business drinking this at 6PM. Delicious tea. Pretty costly for a drink. Great service. Might get another when I'm in the area.

Jasmine Green Lemon Tea (Iced)

This is my first time at a CHAGEE Tea house. According to their website, "CHAGEE is a modern teahouse with over 7,300+ locations worldwide, rooted in heritage, wellness, and connection". Their aim is to bring centuries of Chinese tea culture into the modern world. They were founded in 2017 and I counted 9 Southern CA locations on their website. This location is inside the shops at Mission Viejo (Basically inside the Mission Viejo Mall). It is located adjacent to the Macy's men's store at the lower level next to the water fountain. It is a small space with a few tables and chairs. The Interior is ultramodern with glass and wood elements. Just like most coffee and tea shops, you pay first. FYI: They do not take cash. CHAGEE is known for its tea-based lattes made with real tea leaves and fresh milk. Their Menu includes several attractive options within 3 categories ranging from Brewed Teas, Special Teas and extracted Teas. (See attached photos for full menu). According to the menu, everything seems to be Iced. Today i had the Jasmine Green Lemon Tea. It is a refreshing citrus beverage crafted by combining premium jasmine-scented green tea with fresh lemon and lime. The tea is made using fresh, whole green tea leaves, blended with fragrant jasmine blossoms, then paired with real, sliced lemon for a bright, floral, and slightly tart flavor. It was delicious. I found it interesting that they offer 2 different types of straws. One shaped as a 3 hole triple channel that is recommended for Tea latte and pure tea and another standard wider one for their Lemon Tea. The idea is to optimize the tasting experience for different types of beverages. The baristas are friendly and their prices are reasonable for the quality. My 22oz Jasmine green Lemon Tea was $7.45 plus Tax. But it also had a descent amount of ice. So, you don't really get a full 22oz. I had a good first time experience and so did my taste buds. :) I am looking forward to trying some of the other tea flavors and i recommend giving CHAGEE a try. I think that you will like it.

Easy 5 stars. Special shout out to the staff Asu, Vanessa, Emi, and Christian. Jeez, I know how hard working in the food industry can be and these workers work HARD af. Located in the Mission mall (kinda random but I digress), the storefront is easy to locate. I think the easiest landmark is to park near the Cheesecake Factory, and once you're inside the mall entrance on the left of the restaurant, just turn left and go from there. The store itself is clean with a few seating options. But the 5 stars go to the staff because they are on it with the suggestions and what you might like. I was really hesitant if the peach oolong lemon tea was going to be too sweet for me but the cashier reassured me that if I didn't vibe with the drink I could just order an alternative. Which I did lol. The peach oolong tea latte was way more up my alley. Wow. Seriously, I could taste the peach extract. The quality difference compared to other tea stores was staggering. I personally like my drinks on the less sweet side so next time I'll go for less sugar. But, overall Chagee has a lower sugar level than other tea shops. Service was quick and easy. So impressed!

Amber iced latte
Megan Y.

I got the iced Amber oolong tea latte and it was SO good! The flavors are very nutty and toasty, which I already love about oolong, but I'd never thought to have it as a latte before. I ordered it based on the associate's recommendation and I'm so glad I did because it was the perfect balance of creamy and tea forward. You can really taste that roasted, nutty oolong flavor without it being too sweet or heavy. Super refreshing and honestly such a nice change from the usual iced lattes or milk teas. They also have a lot of really cute merch. I didn't end up buying any this time, but it's definitely tempting. Overall, it's a great drink to walk around the mall with and enjoy slowly. Would absolutely order this again!

I've been here twice so far, once during their grand opening and a week after. The tea is good and I can definitely recommend their signature boya jasmine milk tea as well as the jasmine lemon tea. Their tea is brewed well - not too strong or light. They recommend drinking from a special straw they developed which is pretty much 3 coffee straws stuck together to get the most flavor. The workers have been helpful and can help recommend some options if you're undecided. Thankfully it's died down since the grand opening and it's a welcome addition to this mall.

I have heard so much about Chagee and I'm so happy they opened one near me. My friend and I decided to line up for the grand opening. We arrived at 7:45am for 10am opening and we were already 30th in line. We found out that people are fanatics and go around camping out for different grand openings to collect the unique plushies and tote bags. The grand opening was very organized and staff would communicate with us every 30 min. At 10am when they opened the line moved fast and efficient. I got the boya green tea latte which was very robust in flavor and creamy. The packaging on the cups and take out bags were beautiful. I was very happy with my free tote bag and cute plushie!

Jesse and the entire team made me feel so comfortable, and it was such a pleasure being part of their special day. Not only is the atmosphere beautiful, but the coffee is amazing too! I highly recommend trying the Cocoa Pebbles drink, it was so delicious and definitely one of my favorites The shop has such a warm, inviting atmosphere, a beautiful aesthetic, and customer service that truly goes above and beyond. You can tell they genuinely care about every person who walks through their doors. If you're looking for a local coffee shop with great drinks, a welcoming environment, and some of the sweetest people you'll meet, I definitely recommend checking out Concrete Coffee. I'll absolutely be back!

I've been here a few times before and have always enjoyed both their coffee and matcha. This visit, I couldn't decide between the two, so I was excited to see the Matcha Americano on the menu. It's essentially an Americano topped with matcha instead of milk, making it a great option for someone like me who is lactose intolerant. The drink had a nice bold coffee and matcha flavor. I did ended up adding a little honey when I got home since I wanted a little bit of sweetness. I also have to give credit to the service. For a holiday weekend, I was surprised there was only one employee working, especially with a steady line of customers coming in. My drink took a little longer than usual, but considering the barista was taking orders, making drinks, and running the register all by herself, she was incredibly efficient and kept everything moving smoothly. Overall, another great visit, and I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in the area.

The owners…read moreand their son have always been incredibly kind, welcoming, and appreciative of the neighboring businesses. Their son in particular is phenomenal and always made every interaction pleasant. The baked goods are fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. While there was one interaction in the past that felt a little more business-focused than hospitality-focused regarding a mall discount, it was far from enough to take away from the overall experience this bakery consistently provides. Manager ( not the owners ) was upset I wasn't able to offer a mall discount when they were able too. Came to the point she would verbally say we wouldn't ( myself and crew members) wouldn't be receiving it. Personally not a big deal. Most I'd spend was 5-7$ and discount was less than a dollar. Still a phenomenal bakery At the end of the day, great ownership, great products, and great people. Small businesses like this deserve support, and I'm always happy to recommend them.

Fantastic food and drinks -- just plan ahead on busy mornings…read more Pandor Artisan Bakery and Café is a true local gem, especially if you love well-made drinks, crepes, and pastries done right. We visited on a Saturday morning around 9:30am, and while the place was very busy and lively, it's easy to see why it's so popular. Drinks: The honey lavender latte was excellent -- smooth, lightly floral, and not overly sweet. The Nutella cortado is also a standout and a great choice if you like something rich but balanced. Food: The chicken and mushroom crepe had great flavor and was very satisfying. The Romeo and Juliette crepe was absolutely delicious and easily one of the highlights of the visit. Pastries: The almond croissant and peach danish were my favorites -- flaky, fresh, and exactly what you hope for at a bakery like this. Because it was a peak Saturday morning, there was about a 15-minute wait to find a table, and ordering took another 20 minutes. My food came out fairly quickly, but my husband's order was unfortunately missed and didn't arrive until about 40 minutes later. That said, the woman running the place was an absolute sweetheart -- incredibly kind, apologetic, and genuinely attentive. She even offered us a free dessert to make up for the delay, which we really appreciated. The rest of the staff was also friendly and helpful despite how crowded it was. The space does get noisy when it's full, so it's not the most relaxing dine-in experience during peak hours. My advice: order online and take it to go -- this would be perfect for a picnic or a relaxed breakfast elsewhere. The food and drinks are absolutely worth it, and with a little planning, you'll have a great experience.
