    Just ok milk tea that fixes the craving. We got wintermelon and green Thai tea. Drinks are sweet so be aware! However, it comes with free boba :)

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Hours say open at 11... they're not open

    Came at 11:03. Hours state 11. They are closed. Called the number and the number is disconnected.

    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!

    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.

    Hi! Are u guys hiring?

    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.

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!

This year specifically, I've noticed a couple of things that have made my experience go severely downhill. I've visited about five times, expecting to grab my favorite toast of theirs that I've had for years (Pan Con Tomate) and they have been out consistently back to back of that item. I've literally tried 3 separate times and been told they simply ran out of tomatoes. If it's that inconsistent, I'd hope they'd take it off their menu and post it as a special. But what bothers me the most is that the service is so nonchalant that it comes off as rude. No greeting, smile, positive energy.. giving off a vibe that they'd rather be anywhere else than behind the coffee bar. Sad to see the experience decline as it's been a favorite of mine and somewhere i always have hyped up to friends. Hopefully things pick up.
