Such a cute boba place . I been here when it was bober tea and now they're naricha tea. This place is cute a lot of areas in this place that you can do photo ops with your friends and family a perfect hang out spot . Their boba is really good and flavorful let alone refreshing perfect for the hot summer. I really love places that have kiosk , makes it easier to order and very convenient you order from the machine and like 5-10mins later your drinks are ready . I will come back because I eat to try their Dubai strawberries and see what the hype is about. All and all this place is pretty good. Spacious and has a very friendly welcoming. Oh and have I mentioned they have a lot of Filipino inspired drinks ! THAT IS 100% AMAZING ! I love that they have Taho on their menu ! Thank you Naricha for making amazing drinks and awesome good vibes read more

Decided to try this shop due to a BOGO free offer on the brown sugar brûlée and boba. Drinks were already ready when we arrived. Parking can get a little tight in the free parking lot, but we didn't have too much trouble on Sunday afternoon. The interior was very cute and pretty with flowers. They also sell mochi donuts -- this looks like a rebrand Bober Tea shop that's known for their "stir fried" boba. The brown sugar boba in our drinks tasted like the super soft and flavorful boba. My husband and I really loved the boba. But at 100% sweet, the drink was wayyy too sweet that we had to dilute it with water. Next time I would get half sweet. It had a very nice black tea flavor that shone through which is unique from other boba shops. read more

Insta worthy tea shop with tasty drinks! My daughter and I both ordered the strawberry matcha and mochi donuts - perfect ending to our dinner. There are a few self order kiosks to place your order and the drinks come out fairly quickly. We'll be back to try some new items. read more

My go-to boba spot when I'm in Irvine! I saw they had the dubai chocolate series so I got one of each. They use nutella for their chocolate and it's SOO good. If I had to rank the items, it would be 1) dubai strawberry 2) dubai croffle 3) dubai waffle. However, I do recommend the waffles if you're sharing with friends. All 3 items were super tasty!! Definitely need to come back to get their drinks again :) read more

Stopped in on the way to go shopping and so glad I did! The inside is very pink and over-the-top in a fun way -- there's even a phone booth with a sign that says "do not step inside, not stable" . The decor is a little cheesy, but honestly, it adds to the charm. Will add parking was a nightmare on a Monday afternoon. We got the cookie butter latte and the salted caramel latte -- both were super flavorful and yummy, but definitely on the sweeter side (I couldn't quite finish mine). If you have a sweet tooth, you'll love them! I didn't try the donuts but they looked fresh and tempting. Loved that you could order at kiosks or the counter, and you can choose "to-go," which they wrap in parchment-style paper -- a cute touch! Fun new spot to have in town. read more

Went to check out Yoo's Place for lunch and couldn't help but notice the absolute cuteness of naricha next door! Located in Irvine, naricha is a SUPER adorable tea shop! So many cute decorations and backgrounds to take pictures in front of. Service was average and the selection of drinks was pretty standard in selection and taste. Not the winner here was the Dubai strawberries in a cup- it was HEAVENLY!!! It's about $15 and it was just so, so delicious! Do NOT hesitate to order this if it's available when you're here! Definitely a must for anytime looking for a super cute place to take instagrammable photos and a sweet treat! read more

The decor in this boba cafe is beautiful! You really feel like you're being transported into a beautiful garden tea house. This has to be one of the most aesthetic boba houses in OC. The black tea assam latte drink is pretty good and has a strong tea flavor. The boba is a bit too sweet and does not have the chewiness that is ideal, but it's not bad. Service is great and the cashier was helpful. The parking isn't bad either. If you go at an off hour, there are plenty of spots in the plaza. The cafe doesn't have a ton of indoor seating, but if you're lucky, you can snag a spot on one of the comfortable couches. Great spot overall, I'd come back especially because the tea is not watered down and not too milky! read more

Naricha is easily one of my favorite dessert spots. I stop by whenever I'm in the area. The absolute best thing on the menu are the Dubai chocolate covered strawberries. I'm not typically a fan of Dubai chocolate but the strawberries cut the sweetness so well. The semolina adds the perfect crunch factor and the pistachio cream is sweet but not too overwhelming. They also serve various teas. Their boba is always fresh and chewy. The mochi donuts are also a huge hit! They're much better than some of the major chains. The mochi consistency is actually apparent unlike other places. The inside of the cafe is gorgeous! It's the perfect place for girl time. Pink floral decor and emerald green couches. It's definitely an Instagram moment! The owners are so sweet and helpful. All the staff members are prompt and provide great service. They're located in a plaza with several other business and restaurants. Finding parking can sometimes be difficult. Overall, Naricha is a must try! read more

Cute interior spot and nice workers. Matcha and their Assam Milk Tea were 10/10 with a distinct flavor. Perfect with 25% sweetness. Mochi donuts were a bit on the overcooked side, but the blueberry, orange, and matcha flavors were fantastic. Dubai chocolate strawberries were very decadent, but the crunch and flavor was really good. read more

Not bad! A very cute and aesthetic place! I liked the ease of ordering vi machine/screen. I ended up trying 3 mochi donuts, mango green tea, and a Vietnamese coffee. The mochi donuts were good! They weren't the BEST mochi donuts I've ever had, but they satisfied the craving. The donuts had good texture! It was the flavor that fell a little short. The frosting on the donuts had an interesting texture and was generally not very flavorful. Between matcha, chocolate caramel, and blueberry, blueberry ended up being my favorite since it had the most flavor. The mango green tea was particularly yummy! The Vietnamese coffee was average. Overall a cute spot for a drink and donut! read more

Try the: strawberry banana matcha-very nostalgic tasting in a Gerber baby food way but with matcha OR double matcha- solid matcha and woke me up immediately This place caught my eye because all the decor was PINK. I came to try their matcha flights and as an escape the sun that day. Their matcha quality was good but their portion size for 4 matcha samplers were tiny for $20 dollars. I recommend just go for the full-size matcha. It's a nice pick me up and a cute cafe to sit in but nothing too out of the ordinary. There's outlets, large tables, wi-fi, and a quiet ambiance for those who want to get some work here done too. Other notes: smaller parking lot but there's an underground free parking structure nearby, kiosk ordering, has a lot of fun drinks read more

Super cute. Inside and outdoor seating. Ambience is so chill. Music is fun. All ages are here enjoying yummy drink and some delicious desserts. Got the mango green tea and the golden fruit rooibois 0% sweet. Definitely coming back. Fast service. Nice. Polite. Answered my questions with how it works. Order from the machine and walah, they have your drink ready! read more

There are plenty of parking spaces and they do have an underground garage to park at. There is some indoor seating available. You can order via the 3 kiosks at the wall or with the cashier. I ordered the Pistachio Latte. The drink was good, but because I asked for light ice, the ice had already melted by the time I received it and the cup was warm. I saw they just put the cup under the espresso machine with ice, so that's probably why all the ice melted right away. Usually, there should still be some ice on the cup even with light ice so the cup doesn't feel warm. That was probably the only thing 'cause the drink was more 'room temperature' than 'light ice'. Recommendation(s): - Pistachio Latte Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Order via the 3 kiosks located on the wall or order with the cashier - Plenty of parking spaces and also underground parking available - Accept Apple Pay read more

Their tea is great. The service was quick and the workers were kind. The location is very trendy for photo ops and had a chill vibe. The menu was quite disappointing as many items were "sold out". The typical boba tea house items were not available. read more

The cutest little dessert/boba shop! On Tuesdays, they have $1 mochidonut desserts all day. I ordered that and a Dubai chocolate strawberry dessert. The service was quick! You can either other from the register or through a kiosk. The decor of the shop is very pink and girly! I work less than half a block away so I just walk here. It's extremely busy during the week so I suggest parking in the underground parking. I've been here so many times and everyone is just so nice! read more

Drinks are WAY TOO SWEET. Even at 25% it was insanely sweet. I ordered the hazelnut tea latte and it was just too sweet and did not have enough tea taste. Employees are nice and welcoming - other than that, they just need to improve the drinks. If you like aesthetically pleasing places and don't really care too much about sweet level or taste, you'd probably like this place. A lot of nice decorations that make for good selfies. read more

This store is pretty cute, with a pretty unique menu selection. You're able to self order from the kiosk or order at the register. Unfortunately the couch I sat on sank in which is a bit surprising considering the shop isn't that old. Everything else about the restaurant was nice though. The worker was helpful in answering the questions I had while I was looking through the menu. The Mungbean Pandan Matcha Latte was pretty good. I'm definitely interested in coming back and trying the other drinks! read more

I'll definitely try the drinks next time I come! read more

Been here several times and they have been wonderful experiences. Also, it's hard to find coffee / boba shops open later for university students; thus, I appreciate their 9pm closing so I can get some work done away from campus! Cookie Butter Latte: it was strong and tasty. I got it with almond milk and less sweetener. I never really calorically splurge on sugary drinks but this did not disappoint as a lift me up study drink. Hazelnut Assam Tea Latte: The taste was creamy and nutty, which complimented the brown sugar boba well. 25% sweetness sufficed for sugar max lol Pandan Latte: Honestly was one of the better pandan lattes I have had in OC. It tasted like real earthy pandan and not artificial sweetener. I would get this again Pumpkin Spice Mochi donut is seasonal which was light, chewy and baked fresh. The biscoff chocolate was my favorite! Service: every time I have gone all staff has been a pleasure and welcoming. They even ask if we are UCI students to get the BOGO drink! So sweet, thank you Ambiance: All pink decor and floral (my type of girl vibe) good tables for studying with outlets. Self ordering station or with the cashier. No cash only card. WiFi is fast and clean restrooms. read more

Got to try some mochi donuts. Place is super chic with pink girly decor. Service friendly. Nice comfy seating. I just found the mochi not as soft as some of the best I've tried. Favorite was the Churro with the Pumpkin a close 2nd. The Matcha was too light in flavor for me and disappointing. Ube too artificial. At $3.50 a donut I expected fresher tasting donuts. Tuesday special has $1 donut with each drink purchase. Overall 3 stars for donuts. read more

Love going to Naricha for a unique selection of mochi donuts! They're very reasonably priced and their mochi donuts are super high quality.

Y'all know I have a second stomach for desserts so i had to try their new Dubai chocolate covered strawberries. And it did not disappoint! Strawberries were fresh, chocolate was rich and creamy and the pistachio was just perfection. I can eat that pistachio concoction everyday until they have to roll me out. BUT it was $15!!! That's the price of a whole meal !!! but I was already there so had to try. Service was quick, they have 3 kiosks which made things easy and more efficient. Decor is super cute and very Instagram worthy. read more

A nice and pretty new tea/coffee shop in Irvine by the corporate area on jamboree. They have designed it very pink and floral which gives a very nice and bright colored ambiance that a lot of instagramers would absolute love. You can order at the kiosk or up front if you have lots of questions. They also display some mochi-nuts and that just made me want to get a few to try out. I had ordered the Mung Bean Pandan Latte with boba and their Brown Sugar Assam Latte. The drinks were fine, but maybe lacked a little more flavor from the mung bean and the Assam black tea. The after taste is what was missing for both. The mochi-nuts were alright too, I tried the matcha with rose and gold leaf since it looked beautiful. Maybe if it was made a little more fresh the chewy texture would have been present. But still a good place to try out when in Irvine. read more

I usually stop by here after dining at Yoo's. This used to be Bober, if you haven't been in a while, they took out the hot air balloon and phone booth. The staff said they underwent new management! It's still very cute and staff are still so friendly and they offer same boba, milk tea, and mochi donuts. I really like my drinks. They might be on the sweeter side but they offer you to customize the sweetness level so you can go even down to 25%. The only milk tea you can't adjust the sweetness level is the wintermelon tea. I would recommend! read more

Stumbled on this place after grabbing dinner near by. I really like the taro waffle the purple dip they had was good, I also liked the mochi donut I got the churro and chocolate with the gummy worm those were my favorite. The strawberry sago could use a bit more fruits or something sweet. I'll try the mango next time since they were out of mango, since it was soft opening they didn't have a lot of items available or that it was sold out. read more

I visited this spot specifically to try the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry after seeing it featured on a food influencer's Instagram. It looked so good that I had to check it out! I've never had a Dubai chocolate dessert before, so I didn't know what to expect, but here's my personal take: The Dubai Chocolate Strawberry was delicious, with a great texture and a very appealing presentation. I'd rate it 4 stars (would have love some more pistachios). That said, at $15, it's a bit on the pricey side for a dessert, so I'm not sure if I'd rush back for another. It's not a "must-have" for me, but definitely worth trying if you're curious or love chocolate-covered strawberries. I didn't try their coffee or boba, so I can't comment on those. The ambiance, though, was super cute and clean, which made the experience even better. The service was okay--not particularly friendly or helpful. The staff member who helped me seemed either super shy or a bit snobbish; it was hard to tell. read more

Somewhere around 3.5 stars... Mixed feelings about our drinks. We ordered two drinks with boba and one coffee drink which was a classic good one. But the other two drinks we got less sweet and were still way too sweet for us. We ended up not finishing the drinks sadly. We did get the surprise cups which are a fun, unique part of the boba experience and were so cute!! It is Sanrio theme, after all :)) Parking in the lot can be tight but was free, and the store itself is really cute, very aesthetic and has that instagram ready vibe. They have deals going on which is cool for pricing, and the mochi donut flavors all look good. Maybe will try the donuts one day and the drinks again with a lot lower sweetness. read more

This boba place recently replaced Bober in Irvine. I was super sad at first because the inside looks exactly the same and somewhat is the menu. However, the added two kiosk to order from on the walls and it looks like they are taking down some of the bober decorations. I'm a sucker for a strawberry matcha latte so what I loved about naricha is this. I love that you get the option to customize your drinks, which bober did not have for this drink. THANKYOU! read more

I've been coming to this place since last November, and I absolutely loveee this place. They have a solid amount of sweet boba options & mochi donuts to choose from! My personal fave is the strawberry matcha bliss. Every time I've been here, the service has *always* been so great and welcoming! The overall vibe of this place is top-tier, especially paired with the cute interior. As a college student, this is one of my favorite places to study and do work. They have nice comfy seats and a few places to charge your laptops/tablets. Overall a 10/10! read more

I was surprised to see that Naricha replaced Bober. However, everything still looks the exact same. I think the drinks might be the same too? The little surprise toys are still available for $6.

*Take out - This used to be "Bober Tea & coffee" but is now called Naricha. I haven't been to Bober nor to Naricha - this review is strictly of the drink & mochi donut take out. *Location/Name: A fam member was nearby & asked if I wanted something, but that was confusing since her Find my Friends location showed next to Bober Tea. Google maps says Naricha; Apple Maps still says Bober Tea & Coffee. It's located in the center that's on the corner of Dupont & Teller. -- *Price: Minus a star for this; more on the expensive side. Most drinks are ~ $6 or higher; the cheapest is an Americano at $4.80. The $5 items only include: Brown Sugar milk w boba, Assam black tea, or Jasmine green tea. Drinks go as high as $7.60 (Mangos n Cream/Strawberries n Cream). Naricha is more expensive when comparing it to other businesses w similar drinks - I compared prices of the drink I typically get (a strawberry or mango w cream) & also standard menu offerings (Thai milk & boba add-on) to some other good boba places I know. ** Mango or strawberry + cream drink, no boba: -Naricha, Mangos n Cream/Strawberries n Cream = $7.60. -Omomo, Mango or Strawberry Tornado = $6.95 -7 Leaves Cafe, Strawberry Hibiscus tea ($4.95), add salt cream topping ($0.75) = $5.70 -Jam Jam Tea Lab, Mango Slush $6.25 or Tangy Strawberry Slush $6.50 or Mango/Strawberry Fresh Milk = $5.50 ** Thai milk drink: -Naricha, Thai tea latte = $6.80 -Omomo, Thai milk tea = $5 -7 Leaves Cafe, Thai tea = $4.95 (reg size)/$5.70 (large) -Jam Jam Tea Lab, Thai Milk Tea = $5.50 ** Brown Sugar Boba add-on: -Naricha = $0.80 -Omomo = $0.75 -7 Leaves Cafe, honey boba = $0.75 -Jam Jam Tea Lab = $0.65 -- Food/drink: Mangos n Cream- ordered w 1/2 sugar & no boba. Melted before I got to it, so froze it overnight & had it the next day after defrosting. I'm a big fan of Omomo's tornado drinks & try to order something similar at other boba places. Happily, this was very similar, but the best feature was the thorough mix of uneven mango pieces permeating my drink, making it more convincing that real mangos were blended into it. At 1/2 sweetness, it was perfect too. I couldn't even tell I'd frozen it overnight, so it would've been even better while fresh. Although, yes, the drinks are pricier, they're 24oz & very good. The plentifulness of fresh fruit was a pleasant surprise & enhanced my drink. I don't feel like I'm at Lollicup, where a bunch of sugary fruit syrups & milk/tea were shaken together. And while I haven't been to Naricha's physical location, from pics it seems well decorated & very cute. Pumpkin spice Mochi donut: The donut pictures are adorable & they look really good so I wanted to try one. Sadly, I could not find a list of flavors. As a newer business, the Yelp content/photos are lacking. The page for the business under its previous name is gone. The Yelp pics also didn't have a pic of the display case, & the menu doesn't list flavors either^^. Perhaps flavors rotate but I'm sure they have a few staples, or they could list which flavors are offered on rotation. The website/IG only showcased seasonal flavors, so all I knew for sure was they had a Pumpkin spice flavor. Even on DoorDash, the option to buy a box of 3, 6, or 12 donuts doesn't list donut flavors to choose from. I ended up asking for whatever they had that was fruit flavored. Instead, she brought home Pumpkin spice. At first I was slightly disappointed because I wanted a fruit flavor, but that disappointment vanished with my first bite. I broke off a round from the donut & it was heavenly. The frosting on top prevented the dough from feeling dry in your mouth, it was sweet without being too sweet. Perfectly light & chewy, decorated with obvious thought & care, great size. I intended to graze on it a bit at a time but ended up devouring it in a few minutes. They decorated it with a candy-corn pumpkin on top, which I normally don't like, but I took alternating bites of the mochi donut & the pumpkin candy corn & ended up loving that combination. At $3.50/donut, or $10/3 or $19/6 I'll have to come back & try a bunch more flavors. On Tuesdays they offer donuts for $1 w drink purchase! The business seems extremely student-friendly. Would be a great place to enjoy a treat with friends, study, coffee date, & has lots of IG-worthy decor/donuts/drinks. I'll definitely go for the various donut flavors, I like them wayyy better than regular donuts. I really enjoyed the fresh fruit in my drink so that might make it a splurge I'm willing to go for occasionally. I didn't get to stop by the physical location this time, but I'll be sure to put this on my list of cute places to go with friends & enjoy the cute decor next time. ^^While writing this, I ended up on Google Reviews, which has a pic of the display case from Aug 2024. Not sure how accurate it is, though, or which changes are made seasonally. But, I'm listing those flavors here: strawberry, chocolate panda, matcha, churro, taro, & cookies n cream. read more
