    I liked the different drink options available. They all sound pretty good. I had the Thai tea and the drink itself wasn't bad, but the boba was terrible. Not sure if it was just an off day, but it had zero flavor. Most boba is usually sitting in some kind of syrup (typically brown sugar) to make it sweet and taste good. This boba felt like it was just sitting in water and did not taste good at all. It didn't soak any of the Thai tea either so it just felt like I was drinking my drink then chewing on some flavorless gummy. I think it's fun how they have some games though so you can play while you wait or hangout there. They had a few board games as well as some claw machines.

    It's Krak Boba. So lots of boba drinks. Love their taro cloud! They have other types of boba smoothies and other drinks! Service is good. Selection is good. The place has some chairs and tables, a sofa, some table games too! Yes, I can recommend this.

    It's my time to visit Krak Boba after countless times walking by. I am glad that I finally stopped in. They have quite a list of fruity tea and milk teas, with or without boba balls. The team was very efficient in making them. We enjoyed our drinks quickly even though we ordered about a dozen items. We enjoyed games on the table and had a great time.

    My favourite spot for boba! Whenever I come to Irvine I HAVE to get a drink from here. They do their boba so well, but I can't tell exactly what it is that makes this place so good. In particular I think they do their fruit drinks super well. I've had a bit of their other menu, but those are the standouts. The fruit combos and spritz work well together, and I love the bubbly feeling in my mouth when I drink it. Their milk teas are also good but can get a bit sweet depending on what you're ordering. The shop itself is also really nice and modern, with many things to do. There's game machines, board games, card games - plenty to do if you're looking for a nice place to hangout.

    I had been seeing Krak Boba on social media and from friends' posts recently. I totally forgot we had one close by, so curiosity got the best of me. We've been a handful of times now. It's nice having more and more Asian joints popping up further south past Irvine. Krak Boba, is in the same lot as Simply Pho and Island Pacific, on El Toro and Rockfield, in the city of Lake Forest. Walking into the space, you'll find a fun and chill atmosphere where you can lounge with friends, play some chess, card games, jenga, or the claw machines that have been showing up at these boba joints. The space is well lit, open and comfy. I stayed for a while with the kids but didn't get to stay as long as I had wanted to. We'll hangout longer next time. They offer bags of chips for purchase at the register, as well as gift cards and some cute tumblers for drinks. Staff had smiles on their faces, were very friendly and patient. What we've ordered; 1) krak coffee with taro cream - strong, decadent and so good 2) krak signature milk tea - I've had this with matcha cream, 25% sweet, light ice with coffee jelly. I LOVE this drink in this version 3) krak signature milk tea - light ice, 25% sweet with coffee jelly. Nothing else added. This is also so very good just like this. Not overly sweet while getting a taste of that good milk tea I definitely have a lot of other flavors to try and do plan on it. I'll just have to order two drinks and have them throughout the week since I can never finish them at one time. I'm looking forward to bringing the family again to sip and play. Thanks for such a chill place to be.

    The drinks at Krak are always tasty. I usually order it on the app for pickup. When i don't want to have caffeinated drinks I have plenty of options to choose from. The staff would have my drinks ready for pickup. The store is bright and encourage to spend time hanging out at the store. They provide some games to play if you want to enjoy the drink and time with others at the store. They also added a few claw machines if you would like to try your skills at some prizes.

    I've been to this place more than a couple of times. I can remember if I enjoyed it before. But this last visit, I did. The place is nice and clean. Looks like a good place to relax while drinking your boba and not be in a rush. They have table games that can be played and I see groups of people playing and having a nice time. Our order was done pretty quickly. I got the King/ Queen brûlée blended. It has the right amount of sweetness and gets me sipping continuously. The boba was nicely made too. Soft, warm and a bit chewy!

    Kind customer services, Ran into no issues, except parking is pretty tight, A great spot to check out if you want to play a couple of cool games with a drink and Keep your thirst satiated by stopping by on a hot day with BOBA

    Awesome place to hang out! The boba tea was DELICIOUS! Definitely coming back! The drinks came out fast and were made to perfection! I ask the employee to make mine less sweet and she recommended 75% for mine! I'm glad she did! It was perfect:D

    The menu
    Jana N.

    I saw Krak Boba on Yelp after a boba craving hit and found it was a good choice. It has a nice clean, modern interior with couches at the front, board and claw games making it a good place to hang out. The menu has a lot of fun drinks and decided on the taro twist. They were able to make it non-dairy with almond milk and no condensed milk. I think my selection of 50% sweet was smart since it was already pretty sweet. The boba was chewy but found there to be quite a few larger ice chunks in my drink. Overall, very good flavor and boba and quick service.

    Fun game
    Arlynne D.

    This place has a fun ambience. When you walk in you see the Artwork and lively employees. You see fun games to play with friends. The music is uplifting and energetic. The menu had something for everyone. I had the 50% sweetness citrus tea. Good to drink but just your average boba place.

    Cool and inviting space
    Sarynelli A.

    Whenever I go to a boba shop for the first time, I always get a regular milk tea with boba just to gauge the overall quality. This one is not bad! The boba itself is AMAZING. The tea was ok, a little watery and bitter but not a deal breaker. The cheese foam definitely helped to make it richer, especially once it dissolved into the tea. The place itself is really cool with lots of great artwork and tons of board games, so it's a great place to hang out. Decent wait time and customer service as well. Not the best bubble tea of my life but definitely up there! I will definitely be coming back to try their other flavors.

    This review is based solely on the drink since I ordered ahead using the app and picked up in store. I ordered the Wintermelon tea and added boba. When I ordered ahead on the app I did not realize the drink also comes with aloe vera. I tried aloe vera in my drink once and was not a fan. When I drank my drink and noticed the aloe vera I was pleasantly surprised. The tea and aloe vera complement each other giving a nice fruitful refreshing taste. I do enjoy going to Krak Boba and their drink selection. This drink is $5.85 and boba is an extra $.90. I believe their drinks come in one size (24 oz). You can adjust the sweetness and ice levels to your liking.

    Do you have sugar free coffee or boba drinks?

    Hi, thank you for reaching out, unfortunately for our coffee it is premade with sugar. Our other drinks can be adjusted down to 25%. The drinks that can be adjusted to be sugar free is either black iced tea or jasmine iced tea.

    When will wifi be available to the public?

I ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and initially thought it was good. Their coffee and drinks are pretty simple and on the more plain side. Personally, I thought the coffee could have been stronger, especially since I usually drink coffee for the caffeine and expect it to give me a little more of a boost. Unfortunately, by the time I got home, I was only halfway through my coffee when my stomach started hurting pretty badly, and I ultimately ended up spending much longer in the bathroom than I would have liked. I drink coffee pretty frequently -- probably five out of seven days a week -- and I generally don't have this kind of reaction to the different coffees I drink. I also hadn't consumed anything besides water this morning, so I'm fairly confident the coffee was what upset my stomach. My biggest concern is that if I had gotten this coffee before heading to work and had the same reaction, I would have been cooked. Thankfully, today was my day off. Aside from that experience, the shop itself has plenty of seating, and the staff is very friendly. It's really unfortunate that I had such a bad reaction to the coffee because, otherwise, I didn't have any major complaints about the place.

We ordered the Tiramisu Milk Cake and the Saffron Milk Cake, along with a couple of Rose lattes, and they completely exceeded my expectations. Light, creamy, fluffy, and perfectly balanced. Not overly sweet, not soggy or swimming in espresso...just incredibly fresh. It's one of the best I've had in a long time. Their cakes definitely set the bar high. I enjoyed the atmosphere just as much. The outdoor patio is spacious, making it a great spot to meet up with friends, bring your laptop to get a little work or studying done, or simply enjoy a coffee. The space is warm, welcoming, and filled with beautiful, unique furniture. While in there, you almost forget you're in Orange County. Highly recommend! I'll definitely be back to try their savory menu next.
