I rarely give out one star, but this was a one-star experience for me. I was on the way to take my son someplace in the area, when I decided I wanted a milk tea boba. The closest shop was Eightfold, so I called ahead for pick-up. All of that was easy enough, and the lady inside was super nice and gave me a stamp card. However, I hated my drink. It was bitter. Like really bitter. It had barely any sweetness, which I can live with, but the bitterness was off putting. I've never had a milk tea like this before, and I hope to never have another. Also, the boba was on the firmer side and didn't seem fresh. So read more

Cute little tea shop. I ordered a jasmine milk tea. It was pretty good. The service was nice and friendly, and the place was cute. They had a couple board games as well. Specify if you want boba or not, because I hadn't ordered it but got it anyway. Overall, a good tea shop with not a ton of frills in terms of the menu, but tasty offerings and a friendly cute environment. read more

Drink was decent and got the sweetness level right at 3/4. The boba itself was not great but could have been worse. It was a little hard. There weren't any customers at the time so that could have why the boba wasn't fresh. Gave them the benefit of the doubt since they are new. The girl who rang me up was nice. I purchased a beaded bracelet for $4. read more

My fiancée and I ordered both the double green milk tea (honeydew and matcha) and a peach green tea with boba. The peach drink was good, but the boba wasn't the best I've had. It was slightly hard/firm and wasn't sweetened enough. My double matcha drink was interesting... I did not expect the honeydew flavor to be as strong and the matcha flavor was lacking. Not sure if we came on a bad day, but I had higher expectations for eightfold since I heard good things about it, especially at their costa mesa location. read more

I visited today for the 2nd time and got the viet coffee. I've also had the eightfold milk tea and both drinks were really good! The workers are very nice and we were able to try out new items they'll be serving soon: popcorn chicken, fries and a pandan waffle. Excited to try out the takoyaki when they start selling those. read more

Now to the important part- the boba was delicious! Perfect amount of sweetness & tasted really, really good! Plus great customer service! Cute family owned biz! Definitely a supporter here! We will definitely be back! My kids loved it & they're pretty picky when it comes to boba. read more

Super cute boba shop , I recently found. There weren't that many reviews but I wanted to give it a try. The shop is very well decorated. Loved all the boba plushies everywhere. The owner lady was super sweet and gave us little candy goodie bags. Got their oolong tea and 4 noble tea and it was pretty good. The boba was a little hard, but we did come near closing and it would probably be better if you come earlier when its fresh. Definitely will come again to try there other drinks. I would recommend this place if you like quiet and cozy cafes to grab boba and chat with your friends! Ps. They use high quality plastic cups that are sturdy and doesn't accidentally collapse, which you can also recycle, pretty nice touch imo read more

Great small boba shop. Very gracious and kind young man running the shop. Taro tea was delicious and I hung out for a bit in the clean shop. I wish I lived in the city to make this my local boba stop. I'll stop by next time I'm in the area. read more

I was surprised when the cashier at the counter told me they had been open for 3 months. I never heard of them until last week. We are literally down the street from them. My review is on the food and drinks. Please take this as constructive criticism because I really want them to develop, thrive, and succeed. We got the popcorn chicken, and there was not much chicken but mostly breading. I want to say 85% of it was breading. The fries were pretty good. While it was cooking, the smell of the oil was strong. Maybe a better vent would be good to invest. We got the Double Green and Eighfold Signature Drink. Drink was not too bad. The boba was chewy. Hopefully it will be better the next time we try it. There was only 1 person working counter and food, so it took about 20 mins to get our drinks and food. At least 2 employees would be helpful. I felt bad she was all alone holding down the fort. read more

Saw eightfold on Instagram and was interested in the deep matcha. The influence made it look and sound good. Service was lacking. There was only one worker when we arrive who clearly didn't want to be there. We ordered 4 drinks and it took quite some time to get made. 3 deep matchas (one with substitute milk) and one double green. We left once we got our drinks and after I was long gone did I notice that I didn't have any pudding in two of my drinks to my disappointment. The drink with substitute milk tasted so sour and awful that we just threw it away (was the milk bad?) and my friend made her own matcha drink at home instead. Very disappointed. Would not come back and would not recommend. read more

The service is great. Very polite. The drinks are very delicious. Favorite drink has to be the fresh milk marble strawberry. Is taste just like thrifty strawberry ice cream. It's very refreshing 10/10 delicious. The corn dog, delicious. The coin cake delicious!! The ambience is great, very relaxing plus they have board games. 10/10 recommend it's a must try!! read more

I pass by the area quite often and this place is very convenient , being one of the few boba spots here. I finally got to try this place and I really like their signature milk tea. It's not too overpowering in taste and the sweetness for it is just right. They have a lot of variety of drinks like matcha, fruit tea, slush, etc. The server is also friendly and very patient with you. Overall I like the atmosphere because in most rush hours this place is my go to to avoid crowded areas and long wait times. read more

If you like earl grey, milk teas, and you like boba then you NEED to get their signature tea. It's a sweet earl grey milk tea with delicious boba. I originally came for the signature tea with cheese cream topping but they stopped selling cheese cream because customers didn't like it :( otherwise it's a 10/10 not too sweet like most milk tea places. A perfect balance read more

So this place is in the same shopping center as EOS gym/Buffet/Auto Shop. Was looking for a boba place close to cypress and this place popped up. Wasn't in the mood for Ding Tea and thought I would try something different. They literally just opened this week so if you go in they have a special by 2 drinks get 1 free. I was impressed by their packaging. Usually the plastic cups they come in can be flimsy but these were quite sturdy! They are also reasonable priced and the taro milk tea I got was yummy. ..Not too sweet, chalky or overly iced. I brought my son with me and the lady behind the counter was so nice and friendly she gave him a little treat bag. Make sure when you stop by to get a reward card. read more

They were testing out a new recipe for pandan mochi waffles and gave us a free waffle to sample. It was soooooo good! They really have to put it on the menu. It was not too sweet, crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside read more

I recently went with my family and both the cashier and the other boy workers were so nice and accommodating!! Since it was my dad's birthday, there were like 15-20 of us! Their service was seriously something to compliment ! Also, their boba was SO GOOD! I got the strawberry tea with boba and lychee and they did NOT disappoint! I took a photo too and it's so aesthetically pleasing. The place has so many cute boba drink plushies which made it even better. Usually for some odd reason most boba places had no restrooms even with their huge size, but this place had a restroom! This place is so underrated and more people should come to support their small business! read more

Me and my friend loved our drinks. I loved how they decorated the place and the workers were so nice and helpful. They even offered us a free drink called the California and it was bomb! I really liked my deep matcha drink with matcha pudding and oat milk. We ended the day here and this boba place definitely hit the spot. Definitely try it out and see all the cute boba plushies in their case. read more

It was pretty good the tea tasted fresh, the boba was a bit too hard but other than that it was good. Great customer service but it was a little slow which is okay. The inside of the place was really nice and had cool stuffed animals and other things. Overall very nice! read more

Nice interior. Service was humdrum. No excitement at all to see anyone. For one thing it was kind of quiet, no other customers and from outside the place looked dark. It took awhile to get two orders completed. Even my granddaughter said so. Nothing directivos about the drinks either. read more

The teas was bad and even the guy said it could be bad, but when i said could you remake it ? He replied no i am not going to do that.

This is a really cute boba shop and I really recommend it for anytime you want a sweet treat. Personally, I didn't think I liked boba because of all the other drinks I had before but until I tried this place I realized it was delicious. It's family owned and the they are always sweet and considerate. Service is fast and I will definitely be buying from here more often. read more
