    *Update:* The owner, David, reached out to apologize and went out of his way to make things right. I stopped by today to try the Hawaiian Fruit Tea again, and it was great--properly made with the pineapple bits and chia seeds this time. I really appreciate the care and effort to fix a mistake. Great customer service, I'll definitely be back.

    We have been coming to this Boba time location for the past several years. This is the only Boba place in Orange County that I have found that has consistently good tasting Boba. Some places you get that weird old metallic taste. This one is sweet like gummy bears every single time! Their menu is massive and I have tried so many different drinks. Some favorites are the lychee, peach green tea, and honeydew milk tea. The service is great. Sometimes there's a lot of teenagers in there so it can get pretty crowded but if you go when it's an off hour then you should be good and not have a long way. I highly recommend!

    When we got here it was very busy but luckily they have a self serve kiosk. We were able to place our order and it didn't take long for our order to be done. We didn't get any food but all of our drinks hit the spot. The vibe is chill and you're in and out in no time.

    Wow! So glad I tried the banana coffee, very flavorful and a nice change of pace from my usual milk tea. Their drinks are consistently good, tons of options and their presentation is my favorite drink. Cheers!

    This place is yummy ! The menu is great, the drinks look amazing. It's not really a place to lounge, if that's what you're looking for. There's only a little bench, just something to keep in mind. In terms of the service, the drinks can take a while to come out, I ordered through the kiosk and it took a good 10 minutes for my drink to be ready. It was a basic tea. I will point out though, the drinks are very good, the prices are meh, not cheap but not very expensive. Would recommend to others !

    I came across this place while walking with my daughter after dropping my son off at AYSO practice in Hicks Canyon Park. We decided to check it out and try their drinks. What we ordered: * House Milk Tea with Boba * Hokkaido Milk Tea with Boba Both drinks were just okay. The pearl was alright--not bad, but nothing special. Overall, I wasn't a fan of either drink.

    I had to get 10 drinks! The boba was nice, soft, and chewy. I was impressed on the flavors too! I added extra sweetness to suit my taste. I will be back for the pistachio matcha! Quite delicious!

    Back for some watermelon slushy with boba. Inside seems clean and tuned like a machine. All are staff are making drinks. Self service ordering if you are comfy with doing it that way. Otherwise wait for the staff to take your order when they are busy. Choice is yours. Drinks - slushy, smoothies, shakes, frappes, hot beverages, coffee, teas and shaved ice are some of the things they sell. Verdict - come over as they serve up good drinks in general! I love the watermelon slushies and Thai Iced tea slushies with boba

The coconut is not overwhelming as well, it seemingly blended each other flavor. It is refreshing and not too sweet to my taste. The small boba compliments the drink itself.

Went during lunch and there were about 10 orders ahead of mine. Ordered 30 minutes ahead and the drink was still not ready. There is no separate lines for pickups and ordering in person so everyone was just cutting each other. The app said my order was ready so I had to wait in the long line just to get to the front and she said they were still making my drink... I stepped to the side and waited another 10 min. I see the drinks come out but there's no announcements or anything. I had to get back in line again and then ask her for my drink.. If your ordering system is purely reliant on the app and number on the screen, it should be accurate! Or just make a separate area for pickups! You have one person in the front handling orders and serving drinks. This is terrible for the employees and the customers. Drinks were decent tho..

    I recently visited Jam Jam Tea & Moment in Irvine, one of my favorite tea spots in the area. The…read moreshop has a cozy and modern design, and the drinks are always beautiful and refreshing. This time, I tried two peach-inspired drinks from their seasonal menu. Tangy Fresh Peach Slush This drink is light, refreshing, and perfect for a hot summer day. It is made with premium 4401 white peaches, giving it a naturally sweet and juicy peach flavor. The slush texture is smooth, and the sweetness is well balanced, so it never feels too heavy. Peach Yogurt Yakult This one was my favorite! It combines premium 4401 white peaches with organic Greek yogurt, creating a creamy yet refreshing taste. The peach flavor blends perfectly with the slight tanginess of the yogurt, making every sip smooth, fruity, and delicious. Both drinks are great choices for peach lovers. If you prefer something icy and refreshing, go for the Peach Slush. If you like a creamier, richer drink, I highly recommend the Peach Yogurt Yakult.

They had one self service iPad and then one register to order from. The logo is extremely cute and the inside is well designed, kind of reminds me of a brighter Omomo. I ordered the Tangy Fresh Peach Slush which is one of their summer seasonal drinks. It was SO good. I'm so sad it's only around for a bit, I'll definitely have to come again. It has clear jelly-like balls, fresh peach inside, and a great slush texture. It is reminiscent of Sunright frosties (which are my favorite). We also ordered the Brulee Thai Tea Slush, which didn't come with a topping but the flavor was spot on. Would definitely come here again!

Since my husband and I were in this part of Orange County, we decided to make a stop at this location to take advantage of their special, buy one get one free Mango Pandan Sticky Rice Smoothie this past Sunday evening. We arrived around 4:45 pm and made our order, which came out to $8.50 total (tax included). We were not able to adjust the sweetness level on this drink. The drink was nice and cold, which was nice because it was a pretty hot day. The mango was good initially. It had a nice ripen mango flavor. However towards the bottom, the frozen pieces of mango was sour. I think it is possible that this drink was made with pureed mango (that was sweetened) and frozen pieces of mango that was not ripe. I am not sure what the sticky rice taste liked but I am assuming it was all blended together since. The pandan itself was gooey, almost like a soft formed mochi. It was powdery and did not taste good at all. I think this drink would have been much better without (which was swirled and rubbed on the inside of our cups. Service was friendly. I wanted to earn my points for this purchase but had to get onto my Happy Lemon app. But the problem was that the app was making me change my password and verify my email, etc. It was a pain and the girl at the register was patient and told me to take my time since I was struggling to log in (luckily no one was behind us when we ordered). Wait time for our drinks was about 5 minutes after ordering. There is 1 unisex restroom in this tea house but it definitely needed cleaning. Overall, our visit was positive but probably would not order this drink again or maybe ask if I can make modifications of omitting the pandan.

Anywho, I stumbled upon this place after pulling into the plaza to figure out something on my phone. I was also looking for a place to get a drink before heading to play badminton. My phone was acting up so I didn't want to look up a spot to drive to. Right before I left I looked around and noticed happy lemon. I went in and since it was my first time, I took awhile to decide. Their milk tea looked good but I wanted something lighter so I went for the passion fruit mango tea. I also ordered a bubble waffle. The order came out to $14 and took about 5 minutes. Taste wise the two items were pretty good. The tea from the drink was fragrant and strong but not bitter. The passionfruit was a bit too sour but the mango flavor saved it. The waffle was good. It was sweet, crispy, and hot. I'm not in this area a lot, so not sure if ill drive out of my way to come here, but for locals it would be a decent choice.

It was also quite sweet despite him ordering less sweetness.
