Because of the high ratings and frequent reviews, I decided to come here to try their boba and popcorn chicken. I had come in and ordered their honeydew milk tea with boba and an order of their popcorn chicken on a kiosk near the front door. I decided to take a seat on their sofa and saw many people sitting around, relaxing. I can see how busy it could get, especially when school starts in the next few weeks. After about five minutes, my boba had come out. The popcorn chicken took about fifteen minutes. I was very disappointed with both of my items. Their popcorn chicken, although it was crunchy, it lacked any flavor or seasoning. I couldn't taste pepper or salt, either! I had to douse it in sweet and sour sauce. As for my honeydew milk tea with boba, it was very sweet and you can taste the honeydew flavors, but the boba had absolutely no flavor to it. It was also extremely chewy, like chewing gum. I was quite disappointed in my food and drink, and had tossed both halfway through. I understand why college students frequent this place due to the pricing and quickness, but it's not for me.

The drinks here are decent overall. The Thai tea was really good. I got it with regular sugar and…read morelight ice. It was sweet just how I like it. It could be a bit creamier, but it was still very enjoyable. The jasmine milk tea with regular sugar and light ice was just okay. I would not get it again since it tasted kind of bland. The main attraction here is definitely the popcorn chicken, however the food feels a little overpriced for the portion size. It was flavorful, well seasoned, perfectly salty, and crispy. Even at medium spice, it had a nice kick. There were no weird pieces either. The only downside is some inconsistency in size since a few pieces could be smaller. The mozzarella sticks were also very good. I prefer them with ketchup instead of marinara. They are your typical mozzarella sticks and taste good, but the popcorn chicken is what really stands out.

This limits interaction with baristas. I came with my fiancé and ordered a mango milk tea with boba and she got the classic milk tea with boba. We also got the popcorn chicken with mild flavor. I'm pretty sensitive to spicy flavors and this one I had a hard time with. The popcorn chicken itself was fresh and crispy. I would say their tea and boba has stayed consistent and brings back some nostalgia. This is a great boba shop for students to come hang out and study. Would definitely always stop by when I am in town.

As good service as you can get for a drinks shop. Drinks here are like other 7 Leaves Cafes, my go tos are Jasmine Milk Tea, Summer Mint, and Oolong Milk Tea. Coffee options are available and they even have small bites like Macaroons. Overall, pretty standard 7 Leaves Cafe, this one even has a restroom, which requires a code from the staff. Free Wifi which is great as well.

Unfortunately, the coffee seeped into the packaging of the macarons, contaminating them and making them unsafe for my children to eat. To make matters worse, the chocolate macarons we ordered were out of stock, requiring a substitute, which added to the inconvenience. For an order totaling nearly $60, I expected better packaging and quality control. Properly sealing drinks for takeout should be a basic standard, especially when food items are packed alongside beverages. Photos of the leaking drink, damaged macarons, and receipt have been provided. Very frustrating experience. Order #24290506 06/14/2026 12:15pm

I have been to boba shops in Orange County, Los Angeles County, San Diego, and more. I can say with utmost confidence that this boba shop is top 10 in all of SoCAL in terms of quality and taste. Their black almond milk tea is out of this world, on par, if not better than some of the best boba in Irvine, Pasadena, and other areas of OC. But not only is the boba absolutely amazing. The managers, ran by two brothers, are some of the best people I've met. They are extremely friendly and care about their customers beyond selling them drinks. They get to know you as a person and that is something truly rare in any retail business. Please visit this place and keep it in business because this shop deserves to be recognized. It's sad when good places have to shut down because they don't have enough visibility. P.S. They also have a very cool animé vibe with artwork of their mascot which is a sleepy kitea, including cool tshirts and more!

She couldn't even confirm the location being next to HK bbq, basically saying she doesn't know her own neighboring store.

Of course I could always use more boba per cup but texture is chewy and sweet, yummy. My Thai tea and Honey Milk Black Tea were fine. Debating whether to stop by tomorrow for other flavors... so many to choose from. One thing being that this was close to UCR, the college students were probably enjoying the music but was a teeny bit too loud for elderly me. Lol.
