Delicious house milk tea
Edith M.

Drove by and stumbled upon this tea shop and decided to give them a try. We agreed that their products have a distinctive flavor here. We liked it. We appreciate a different experience when grabbing some milk tea and such. We also enjoyed their taro milk tea and agreed that their boba was quite delicious. Will be back next time we are in this shopping center!

Brown Sugar Fresh Milk Latte
Hope W.

super yummy!! lady working was super nice and answered all my questions! i ended up going with the brown sugar milk tea latte. my only con is the straw isn't quite long enough for my liking. it reaches the bottom but barely so it was kind of hard to get all the boba out and i ended up finishing all the milk before getting all the boba out.

interior, seating

I've had my eye on Eightfold Tea Shoppe for so long, but they're a little bit out of the way for me so it took a while for me to get here. The photos of their product looks alluring, so I was hoping the presentation would correlate to quality products. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. They were out of all of the items I intended to try. No custard, no choux cream, no anything with matcha. And I heard them tell the guest after me matcha won't be available until maybe next week, so it isn't just a one night inventory issue. The cashier was sweet so I didn't want to give her a hard time so I ordered a Black Sesame Macaron ($4,25) and a Purple Taro Swirl ($6.80) 50% sweet. The black sesame macaron was hard. Allegedly it was just same on the same day but the maracon was both hard on the edges and interior. It should be a hard shell but with a chewy interior. And the buttercream filling was even hard. So unsatisfied for a crazy overpriced macaron. And I had to wait forever for the purple taro swirl. I get blending and hitting, and I saw the staff struggle to get the drink out into the cup, go back to the back to keep blending. I went from having an hour to kill to actually worrying that I'll be running late. The anticipation did not pay off cause I didn't like the drink. It was still a tad too sweet at 50% sweetness. And instead of tasting like taro, it tasted like coconut milk. Ugh I hate coconut milk in my drinks. I threw away more than 75% of the drink cause the sugar wasn't worth it to me. They have a stampcard but I don't plan on coming back. Given they were out of everything I actually wanted, and the things I actually tried sucked. I'm not coming back. It's way too inconvenient to come here to be disappointed. Staff was nice so I'm giving them a 3 star but how I feel about their products that I tried is at a 2 star.

Great teas! Our orders came out perfect as we did customize the sweetness level and ice level. The pistachio custard dessert was so delicious, I wish I got my own (but shared it with hubby...). Service was friendly. Will be back when we're in the area again!

food matcha not my fav and i feel so bad bc the service was so good tasted really sweet and really milky , it tasted like a honey dew not a matcha :( i know they are known for their custard cups so i would come back and try that service really good everything came with boba and i didn't know so when i received my drink i let them know i can't have boba and they kindly made adjustments but there should be a sign / customers should be informed but other than that great ambiance quiet i came close to closing not many people towards the end of the day on fridays but could be different for other days

Nothing extraordinary about this place. The boba tea was average, service was indifferent.

Mango matcha, Double Green matcha
Vivian T.

I got the mango matcha and double green matcha drinks half sweet and they were alright. I do wish the matcha flavor was stronger. I like that there were mango bits in the mango puree, makes it seem fresh. I also like the honeydew flavor in the double matcha and the matcha pudding topping, I hadn't seen that combination before and enjoyed it. Drinks were made quickly. The shop had a cute vibe with seating indoors to hang out and chat over a cup of boba.

It's a small boba shop, but wow is their menu interesting! I stopped by here with a friend after lunch at a nearby ramen shop and grab their kiwi mojito mainly because it was labelled as non-caffeinated. I'd never seen any boba shops serve that, so I was excited to try something different. I'm glad I did because it actually was super good! It was refreshing, sweet, tart, and fizzy! Think like a kiwi soda with kiwi bits floating around. I adjusted my sweetness to 50% which was perfect because 100% definitely would have been too sweet for me. There was only one person working when we came, but she was super sweet and the drinks came out within 5-10 minutes. It looks like there are also some card/board games for people to play. There are a few seating options so it's probably good for hanging out with 1-3 friends. Super glad my friend recommended this spot.

Eightfold Signature / Earl Grey Cheese Crema
Andrew C.

Eightfold's ambience is so cute inside! Their drinks are so tasty - We got the Eightfold Signature Milk Tea + Earl Grey Cheese Crema, which was delicious! The cashier was so kind and sweet to let me substitute toppings. Very much appreciated the service here.

Marbled Strawberry
Vincent P.

I came in here to grab a drink since I was waiting around in the area. After looking at the menu on Yelp, I decided to get the Marbled Strawberry with boba, which is also on their best sellers list. I love strawberry and this drink was a delicious blend of strawberry and milk. The restaurant itself is quick small, so it's more of a grab and go kind of spot. The OC area has plenty of boba spots to choose from, so I was happy to give them a try and it turned out to be a good pick!

Signature milk tea
Sabrina S.

It's rare for me to strongly dislike a bubble tea spot, but unfortunately, this place gave me a bad experience and really disappointed me. I ordered online for pickup through Yelp, and when I arrived, the staff informed me they had no access to the online ordering system. While I don't blame the staff for this issue, the person I spoke with was neither helpful nor knowledgeable about how to resolve it. I had to call Grubhub to sort out the problem, and luckily, their customer service was helpful. Despite the online ordering mishap, I decided to try their signature milk tea with boba. The cup had an odd parchment-like paper sealing it, with a plastic lid on top. When I took my first sip, I had to resist the urge to spit it out because the flavor was so unexpected. I was expecting a milky black tea with a hint of brown sugar, but instead, I got a weird minty flavor with an unpleasantly bitter aftertaste. Whatever tea was used in their signature milk tea was not a black tea I'm familiar with, and this is coming from a tea lover. Unfortunately, by the time I tried the drink, I had already left the area, so it wasn't worth it to return. I definitely won't be coming back to this bubble tea shop.

Eightfold Tea Shoppe is an aesthetic shop serving some up amazing loose leaf tea, matcha, and more! This spot is located in the same plaza where Target and Sprouts is but tucked more in the corner where the other small businesses are where there are a decent amount of parking spots. Inside, they about 3 tables for seating. They have an extensive menu with fruit teas, milk teas, matcha, coffee, and even a bakery section with Japanese cheesecakes! I opted for the pineapple paradise and could see them making it right in front of me with fresh fruit! The drinks here are refreshing and they have a cozy aesthetic! The staff here are very friendly and welcoming.

Does your matcha pudding contain egg?

No. Matcha pudding does not contain egg, but we are currently out of matcha pudding, it may back next week

Is sweetnesses adjustable at this boba place? Was curious if there are sugar free options. Thank you

Depends on the drink you get, I think. I had a raspberry matcha latte and I think the lowest they had for that was 25% sweetness, bc of the raspberry purée. That would probably be applied to other similar drinks

Can I bring my own tumbler to buy the drink?

Yes

Do you offer soy/almond/oat/coconut milk as an alternative to the nondairy creamer?

They do not have almond milk. The other answer posted is incorrect. They only have soy milk.

Lactose free options?

For now, they use just non-dairy creamer and Soymilk. They are working on making an Oatmilk.

Is this place a good place to study?

It could be! They have WiFi! There are only 5 tables with 2 outlets - 1 next to table near door and 1 in the middle of the store next to tables.

What's the most popular/recommended drink?

Deep Matcha but I wasn't a big fan.

Let me tell you ,every time we get their drinks, it's always a hit! Their boba teas aren't overly sweet. They make them just sweet enough so you can enjoy them without worrying about too much sugar, and you can adjust the sweetness level to your liking. I love the atmosphere of this place ,very cozy and spacious too. It's perfect for hanging out with a group of friends or a solo date if that's more your vibe. I haven't tried their desserts yet, but I definitely plan to next time I stop by for boba. The service is very quick, and the workers are really friendly as well. All in all, I love this boba place, and I know I'll be a regular at this location hands down! Thank you, Feng Cha, for always making yummy drinks You'll definitely see me again soon

I mentioned that to the person that made the drink and they offered to make another one. But I didn't have time to wait since I waited for 20 minutes already and didn't want to hit the rush hour traffic. Boba was either undercooked, overcooked and got burnt, or mixed from an old batch? Service was good though. Only one person working at the time but they were very polite.

I got there and no one was within view. Once again, no problem they have a bell for a reason. I rang the bell and no one came out. I was also trying to listen for any sounds in the back if they were busy with anything. Nope. All I heard was a super loud Reddit story time. I literally walked around multiple times to see if I could see any sort of movement and rang the bell more times. Once the person finally came out, he looked at me and then went to move a couple items and I had to ring the bell AGAIN. What is the point of online order? Or the bell? This isn't the first time this specific employee has ignored us/people in general. I'm genuinely annoyed at how many times this has happened with this guy. We put in the order well before we get there to allow time for rushes or any issues. We've never had issues with other employees but the person wearing glasses, a hoodie, and a normally heavily stained sunright shirt.
