    Hokkaido + Butterfly Wintermelon
    Angelie H.

    Been here a few times. The menu behind the cashier isn't updated and there's a few drinks on there that they don't sell anymore. I've tried their matcha which was only okay for me but love their butterfly wintermelon and hokkaido milk tea. Service is always nice. Only one guy ever working (think it's the owner?) so drinks can take a few, just something to consider if you're in a rush. Shop is small but clean and parking is plentiful.

    Jasmine Green Milk Tea
    Gilberto C.

    Found this place with my friends because we wanted something sweet after eating. We walked in the location is pretty small but it's cute. Definitely more of an order and head out location. There are a couple places to sit while you wait. It's order yourself as well, just walk up to the screen and place your order. The drink was alright the sweetness was actually pretty good for not switching the level that I got. However, the actual pearls were not that good. They were very chewy and hard. They might not have been fully cooked. Other than that it was an okay drink.

    Wintermelon Butterfly with lychee jelly
    Katherine P.

    It's a perfect blend of refreshing wintermelon and a vibrant butterfly pea flower infusion. Love the way it looks- so pretty! It pairs well with lychee jelly giving it the right balance of sweetness. The cafe itself is clean and cozy. Staff were friendly. I would come back to try other drinks if I'm in the area.

    I have been coming here since high school and they have never done me wrong. It's a very small boba shop with not a lot of seating, but it is a must try if you're around the area and craving for a sweet treat! Now I usually don't like rose stuff, but when I tell you their rose milk tea is divine! This is the only boba shop I will ever get a rose milk tea (bonus points if you add sea salt cream as a topping for the sweet and salty flavor). The staff are always very nice and helpful here. My only complaint is sometimes the drinks are filled up to the top, but you could just let the staff know

    recently came here to try their teas and brought my cousins with me--we all loved it! The owner was so kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I ordered the tea and a mangonada, and both were delicious and super refreshing. The shop itself has such a fun and creative vibe, especially the photo wall--it's perfect for taking pictures and adds a unique touch to the space. The atmosphere is bright, clean, and inviting, making it a great spot to hang out and enjoy a drink. I'll definitely be returning

    What's up: Looking for a sweet treat after finishing up a volunteer event nearby. After a quick search, we decided to visit this place. And there's also a Daiso nearby! Parking: Parking was busy when we arrived. It is shared among the nearby businesses. Environment: Walking in, the menu is located overhead behind the order counter. We placed our order and had a short wait before the drinks were ready. They also have a stamp card program! There's indoor seating and the restroom is located down the hall, in the back. What was ordered: - Matcha Latte Tea (got it in hot. More on the sweet and milky side with a hint of tea flavor) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The drink was decent and it's a nice place to sit and enjoy. Credit cards and Apple Pay are accepted.

    Came here on a Wednesday afternoon and there was no line! This boba shop is small but very cute and quiet. I can see it being nice place to study or catch up with a friend. The cashier was very sweet and recommended I get the rising phoenix milk tea on my first visit. It reminded me of a roasted oolong milk tea but the flavor was pretty unique. The boba had a good texture too. Would be interested in coming back and trying out some of their other drinks!

    This place was closeby to my house so thought I give it a try but danggggg, I must've gotten a new worker because my milk tea wasn't even full. I got the Rising Phoenix and had high expectations since the only rising Phoenix I had was at Orobae, however this one had more sugar than actual tea and lacked the tea fragrance I was expecting. Overall it's OK but to serve customers with a 90% full cup doesn't exactly look that great. At least get an all white non clear cup so it doesn't look so obvious(?). I got one with no ice and the other with less ice so you would think maybe the one with less ice look more? I don't know - what do u think?

    I have to say first if all.. the name of this business was genuius its cute , hip, funny and so convenient lol. 5 stars for that! Unfortunately , i wasn't impressed with the drinks. I ordered the Strawberry lychee Agua fresca ajd it taste like syrup, drink was way too sweet and tangy at the same time, no real fruit inside just tasted artificial. Too much sugar. I was going for fruit water .. something refreshing with real fruits inside with natural sweet nothing else added.. I didn't like that one at all. Just my opinion. My husband ordered Aloha sunshine green tea - he said it was good, nothing that stood out. Over all. Just not.my cup of tea.

    Purple Signature Special Matcha Taro

    Very nice location, very clean, came on a Sunday afternoon and the store was empty. Overall my partner and I had very high expectations. We ordered the Purple Signature & Taro Matcha... Purple Signature: it was great! The flavor was nice, it had chunks of ube (I think) in the drink, but you can't call it a signature if there's a surcharge & half the drink is ice! :( Taro Matcha: matcha was ok, nothing too special. Unfortunately there was barely any taro topping compared to other places. I would hope to give this place another chance, so many other drinks on the menu and the prices are fair (until you realize you're being charged for ice cubes)

    Strawberry Banana Purple Signature Special

    Went in on Memorials Day and there was no line. The cashier was friendly and quick with the drinks we got. For the purple signature drink, the texture of the taro at the bottom was just not for me. Otherwise drinks and boba were good.

    Thai Tea with Boba, Perfection.
    Jessica L.

    I came back again to get my favorite Thai Tea but also wanted to try the Rising Phoenix that everyone was raving about and Boy, that was sooooo Good! I'm not sure what kind of milk tea it is but definitely had a strong tea aroma, authenticity, and perfect amount of sweet to it that's making me want it now as I'm writing this review. The Thai Tea was also soooo good, I now have 2 favorite drinks from here and may need to just buy 2 each time I come. I also got to try their new "The corndog" , it had mozzarella cheese inside with some super yummy sauce on the top. It was the perfect snack combo (corndog + milk tea) that I didn't know I needed until now. If I lived closer, I would be here everyday cuz I have high expectations and I found a spot that's sooooo good. I'll be back this weekend for more. Give this place a try, support your local business cuz it's seriously better than the big chains and drinks will have you coming back for more.

    Phoenix oolong and fruit tea
    Diem N.

    We got their new Phoenix oolong milk tea which has a very distinct taste. THEY WERE SO GOOD!!! The tea flavor was strong and fresh and the milk and tea ratio was perfect! To make it even more top notch, their bobas are so fresh. Whoever is making these boba tea must care about the quality diligently; Customer service is very prompt and friendly. But honestly, it was perfect and we loved it!. Thank you for these awesome teas!! 10/10 would recommend!

They have many more options of drinks and food items that are not listed on their TV menu, so ordering from the kiosk is a great option. Overall, would recommend for the late night cravings!

When it was finally our turn, they told us they were closing early at 11:45 PM due to being short-staffed--even though it was only 11:15 PM at the time and the posted closing time is 12 AM. They still took our order, but the interaction felt rushed and uncomfortable. While I was trying to decide what to order, they kept emphasizing that they were closing early, which made it feel like we were being pushed to hurry. I understand being short-staffed and didn't expect full service, but basic courtesy and clear communication would have made a big difference. It would have been more respectful to let customers know about the early closing when we walked in, rather than waiting until our turn after helping others. The overall experience felt unwelcoming and poorly communicated.

I was so excited but my husband said his drink was very sweet. I thought he was exaggerating. Nope. Extremely sweet and the boba had some hard ones. Mine had hardly any boba and was missing the caramelized brown sugar. Again the boba was flavorless and hard. It made my stomach hurt so I didn't even drink half of it. Super disappointing. There is a lot of room for improvement with the employee's attitude, customer service and drink making. It's a no for me. I rate 2 stars. 1 for the cute cafe and 1 for the wait time.

After having…read morelunch nearby, I was suddenly craving a milk tea boba and this place popped up on my yelp app. As you can guess, the theme here is bunnies. Lots of rabbit decor, wall paintings, and statues. Very cute. There was a good amount of seating inside for those wanting to sit and enjoy their drinks. The bubbly young woman at the counter took my order and had it ready in a couple minutes. After looking over their extensive offerings, I decided on a Hokkaido Milk Tea with boba. You can request your sweetness level preference; I like sweet so 100% sweetness was perfect. The flavor was pretty good and I liked the squishy-fresh boba. I sat inside for a short time and was impressed with how the sole worker handled the sudden influx of customers (funny how they all seem to come in at once), never getting flummoxed and always with a smile on her face. This is an excellent spot to fulfill your boba tea desire.

My friends and I ordered a couple of drinks and regretted it badly. Despite being one of the only customers at the store the drinks came out slow because staff were talking to their friends. I wouldn't care for this, but if you can't make the drinks right the first time, then maybe you should focus a little more. It's not that hard to remember cream, when the drink comes with it. The drinks were overly sweet even at the 50% level and still lacked flavor. Their premium tea is masked behind the copious amounts of sugar and not brewed long enough to have a lasting tea flavor. Also, is it normal to have whole tea leaves in the drink? This is the only boba shop that I know does this. Overall miss the prior establishments as they were more consistent and cheaper. Not saying they were good, but in my book they rank higher compared to bunny cha.

Vibe: Summerfield is a staple in Garden Grove for friends to chat at or students to do some homework in.The place is very clean and has its really nice charm to it. There's plenty of natural lighting, despite being somewhat tucked away at the ground floor of a complex with other businesses in the same complex. The interior space and the two outdoor patios are really nice and roomy. Food & Drinks: I got a MIso Crunch Platter for ~$15, and the value for this was really great. The salad was very filling especially because it came with a lot of popcorn chicken, almonds, fried crisps, salad green mix, and a mildly spicy dressing. The combo also comes with a milk two of your choice (which I believe there were only two options, if I'm not mistaken). The Wintermelon Milk Tea at regular sweetness is really sweet in my opinion, so for folks that like their drinks to taste more of a beverage instead of a dessert I'd recommend starting at at 50% sweetness. I'd recommend bringing your own water since the store policy bars staff members from refilling customer-brought water containers (e.g., Hydroflasks and Owalas), and their water cup is really tiny and almost only the size of a standard shotglass. Work-Friendliness: Lots of outlets and very stable wi-fi! There's also tons of seating, both indoor and outdoor. The shop has music they play, but it's not too loud to the point that you can't focus, or put headphones on to listen to your own music. There's a lot of seating options for you to choose from. Getting There: The parking lot immediately next to it doesn't quite get busy, so driving there is an option. If it does get filled up, however, street parking is pretty easy since the shop is at a complex immediately neighboring suburbs. Public transit doesn't seem like it would be ideal. Service: Really kind staff and very patient. Going back to their water refill policy: Christine kept helping me out very patiently with water refills even though I kept coming back for what felt like the 50th time. Christine always assisted me with a smile on her face, which didn't make me feel like a burden at all. Big shout out to you diva
