    Watermelon Slush, two Mango somethings
    Lauren S.

    Watermelon slush: 8/10 Very refreshing and good for summer. Only thing is that we came around 3 and it took 20 minutes for our drinks. The interior of this place is nice, lots of soft seating, plus good music. Nothing special but a good spot for kinda overpriced drinks.

    Mango pomelo

    The service was good, cashier was friendly and the drink was made quickly. I love the unique drink options as well, the drink was very tasty.

    Such a cute boba tea and crepe shop! The atmosphere is very welcoming, clean, and nice. The owl theme is adorable for the cups! The drinks and crepes are tasty! The service is kind. I would definitely go again! The ube sticky rice drink at 50% was perfect!

    Crepe menu
    Johnna E.

    First time at this boba/dessert shop and it is very cute inside! Limited menu but that's okay, I do wish they had toppings listed somewhere either on the screen or at the front near the cashier. I had to ask if they have toppings for drinks and the cashier kindly told me. This is my first time having a plain butter crepe and I am surprised I have not gotten them sooner! The crepe was very delicious. The drink was okay I ordered a jasmine tea...unfortunately not as memorable as the crepe. Overall good place, may stop by next time in the area but wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    Such a cute spot for crepes and refreshing drinks! The $9 Summer Combo is an amazing value, and the old-school crepe with their house-made custard is a must-try. perfect place to stop by for a sweet summer treat. IG: socalhkfoodies

    Old school crepe
    Amy L.

    Love myself a good crepe so I was really happy when owly opened. They don't have a big variety of crepes but I think the ones they do have are solid. I tried the old school crepe which has strawberry, banana, and Nutella topped with a crepe brulee type topping. It was good and definitely will soothe any rich sweet craving you may have! I have not tried their drinks yet but would love to come back and try. The inside is neat and has a playful atmosphere. There was plenty of parking (summer weekday evening, might be more crowded when uci students are here). You can order via kiosk or with a cashier.

    Banana Matcha Lattee
    Thy T.

    Such a cute coffee shop! I ordered the Banana Matcha Latte and the Strawberry Banana Brûlée Crepe. The staff were friendly, and everything came out in about 10 minutes. The Banana Matcha Latte was good, but it didn't really stand out. I could barely taste the matcha, though the banana foam was delicious and tasted like real banana. I just wish it had been a little thicker. The Strawberry Banana Brûlée Crepe, on the other hand, was sooo good. Definitely worth ordering! They also have a variety of unique drinks that looked delicious, so I'll definitely be back to try more!

    So cute inside

    I was pleasantly surprised by my watermelon and coconut slush with agar boba (I believe)- I got it 50% sweet and it was perfect and delightful, and you could taste the freshness. This location is by Blaze Pizza and Amazon Hub inside the University Center plaza (where Target, Trader Joe's and Chick-Fil-A all are). The service was great- a sweet girl working today (7/31 in the morning) was so accommodating- I was with my toddler in a stroller. The ambiance inside is super minimal and pleasing. The menu is broken down in categories, which I think will help the overwhelming-ness on what to order. There's a lot of boba and drink spots in this plaza, but I think Owly will do well, because they also sell crepes! Parking is all around this center, but I parked by Trader Joe's and got some shopping done afterwards.

    I went midday during the week and there was no wait at all! I'm thankful the lines have calmed down. The service was great and gave me some suggestions since I wasn't sure what to get. I ended up with the mango avocado at 50% sweetness and it was so good!! Perfect amount for sweetness for me. The agar boba, pomelo and mango combined so well with the avocado. I'm obsessed with avocado smoothies and the toppings really elevated the drink. Inside was really cute and minimalistic. I could see this as a great place to catch up with a friend or do some work. I will definitely be back!

    Owly is now my new favorite sweets spot. Good drinks and amazing crepes! I got the butter sugar crepe. It was amazingly delicious hot and crispy. It's so affordable and at the best price! I got their mango pomelo drink and it is also delicious. The area is clean modern and quirky with open space. Enough spot to hang, study or work. Waited about 10 mins max for everything. Everyone was friendly and helpful!

    banana matcha
    Lara C.

    Cute new boba shop in UTC! I arrived around 12pm on a Monday. The store had plenty of tables and seats but it was pretty empty. I ordered at the register and my drink came out a couple minutes later. I ordered a banana matcha with less sweetness. The banana flavor was spot on but it was overpowering the matcha. It was also a bit too sweet for me. Still a good drink. Would come back and try more, especially the ube drink :)

    Guava Peach
    Sharon N.

    Another boba shop at UTC but they also have crepes! Banana matcha was on the sweeter side even with the "less sweet" adjustment. I personally like my matcha to be on the stronger side, so to me, this drink was a little lacking of that. The banana cream was very good and pairs well with the matcha. Because of the sweetness of the banana, I personally would get this drink with "no sweet/sugar" next time. Guava Peach is a blended guava drink with peach bits. I got this with "no sweet/sugar". This drink is very refreshing. It was a bit icy at the beginning but my drink melted after sitting in my office and it was still great. Crepes smelled amazing but I didn't get a chance to try. Perhaps next time. Customer service was ok lol. They were there to do their job and didn't go out of their way to do anything beyond that. They seem to be a little co fused when I asked them if Guava Peach was a blended drink and they were like "no it's not and then said oh it is actually" lol. Like did yall not learn what you are selling? The store itself is small (they replaced Pink Pig). I think I waited about 10 minutes to order and another 10-15 minutes to receive my drink but granted they were quite busy during lunch hour.

    The new IT spot that lives up to the hype IMO. We did have to stand in line but the line moved pretty quick. Was greeted with a super friendly smile. The menu is different and fun. Not huge, which is a plus! The cashier was great at suggestions and describing what each drink or crepe was. Love how you can see everything is fresh and made to order. I suggest if you do get a crepe eat it straight away. My favorite was the mango drink. Heavenly! The sitting area is fun and whimsical. Best thing is it was kept clean even with all the foot traffic. We wanted to try everything so I know we will be back!

    WOW! Just wow! Omomo…read moreis very popular in the Irvine area and during peak hours, the wait can be quite extensive but definitely for good reason. The drinks are absolutely phenomenal from their milk teas to their slushies, each item is made to perfection. Upon entering the establishment, you can expect to have your order taken relatively quickly. They have a variety of high quality beverage options to choose from including fresh tea, fruit tea, milk tea, and their special creamomo creations. Personally, I always get their Omomo matcha which is their signature ice blended drink made with ceremonial matcha. This drink is definitely a must try for anyone going to this spot for the first time, it's one of their best sellers for good reason. You can also get your drinks modified in terms of sweetness and ice level (depending on the drink). Overall, I would highly recommend this drink shop to anyone in the area looking to get a refreshing beverage!

    If you go to omomo often, they always have a line before opening. I lined up around 11:50am, and…read morewas second in line. Upon entering i noticed they now offer mobile ordering and they were already busy making drinks for online orders. Considering being 2nd in line, it took a lot longer this time to get 2 drinks probs from the mobile orders. Note to self to order online next time!! The girl with the pink hair called out my name, i showed my ticket and placed it in the box. She said to show the ticket again to her because i guess she didn't see it. I showed the ticket to her and placed it on the counter. She then said with attitude i can put the ticket back in the box. Her tone and comment was unnecessary. I ignored what she said, took my drinks and left. Review is 3 stars for the interaction I had with her.

    Sharetea is my favorite boba spot in Irvine! They have an amazing selection, some really inventive…read moreflavors and the boba is pretty tasty. I usually like to adjust my drinks to half the sugar and it's still plenty sweet. I like to add both boba and lychee jelly. The screens can be a little tedious, but make sense once you know how they work. You can order at the counter if you want to as well. There is a long bench with small tables if you want to sit and wait, or get a little work done, although I find it's not very comfortable. I tend to grab drinks and go. The wait has never been unreasonable. Definitely one of the go to places.

    Great boba spot near UCI. My favorite is their signature drink the QQ Happy Family Milk Tea,…read moreclassic black milk tea with boba, mini boba, red bean, herb jelly, pudding, and lychee jelly. Love all the textures and the milk tea is soooo good, they use brown sugar as a sweetener. The employees here are very nice, mainly use the kiosk to order, so interaction is limited, but they are nice either way. The spot is modern and minimalistic, clean, nice, open and airy. Seats inside and outside. Great spot to hang out after shopping around the area. The prices here are pretty good, not too expensive and all the stuff you get in the QQ Happy Family Milk Tea is a great value compared to other Boba places, recommend you try it.
