    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!

    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

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Super cute interior and couple tables to chill and do homework! They have variety of drinks and crepes options but not overwhelming! I wish I get to try the Oreo crepe maybe next time!! Love the creme brulee crepe! The drinks are not too sweet which is perfect! Got the Sumer combo for $9 with lime jasmine latte + sweet butter crepe

    banana matcha

    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 :)

    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!

    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.

    mango pomelo
    Sharon C.

    Finally got to try the newest boba shop at UTC that replaced Pink Pig! My friend and I came around 12:30pm and thankfully there wasn't a line out the door since the past few days whenever I passed by there was always a line outside. The ordering process was easy, you can just order with the staff member, and the person who took our order was nice. I got the Luminous crepe while my friend got the Old School. We also got drinks to pair with our crepes, which I had gotten the mango pomelo while my friend got the peach jasmine tea. Drinks came out pretty quickly, while the crepes did take a bit longer (to be expected). There were a few staff who focused on the drinks while the other staff did the crepes, so our number had to be called twice (so be alert if you order two different things). But I think we got everything within 15min which was good. Starting with the drinks, they were pretty good! For my mango pomelo, I got the least sugar (which they said was about 25% sweet) and it was just right. I liked the fresh mango flavor and the coconut milk went well with it. It also comes with some agar boba which was nice as well. I'm glad that this met my expectations because I know nowadays a lot of drink places have this type of drink. For my friend's drink, she got less sugar (50%) and it was refreshing. The sweetness mostly comes from the peach bits, so I definitely recommend mixing it thoroughly because the first sip was a bit on the tart side. As for the crepes, I will say it's just okay, wasn't anything special. The first few bites were good because all the toppings balanced each other out (for Luminous, I enjoyed the mango and peach bits as well as the mango ice cream), but towards the end, it kind of got way too sweet with the custard cream. I struggled to finish because it was so sweet (but also because I got full pretty quickly). It also got really soggy by the end. I will also say that although the packaging was cute, it was kind of hard to eat the rest of it without ripping the paper cone, which got kind of messy. Overall, a solid drink place at UTC! Their concept of being a tea and crepe place is unique and the interior was pretty cute and had a good amount of seating (there were tables with chairs as well as two bigger couch chairs). However, personally, I would just stick to getting their drinks, and only rarely would I come for just the crepes (unless I share with someone). I would definitely come back again to try their other drinks!

    Cute spot with a small, but fun menu. Our two drinks came out pretty tasty, service was friendly, and prices very fair for the size. Love the attention to detail at this new boba spot :)!

    Seasonal offering of Smashed Lime Jasmine Latte
    Belinda L.

    It had been a hot one at junior high summer camp. We wanted a drink and a snack. The place was fuller than on our last visit. Summer school is happening at UCI for young STEM students in Cosmos program. There was only one person taking orders and making the orders. Daughter ordered a mango sticky rice smoothie and buttery crepe, while I ordered the Osmanthus oolong milk tea latte. Luckily, another staff member arrived and orders were quickly filled. We got our full order 18 minutes after ordering. The plain buttery crepe was warm, crispy, and good. I liked the sweet flavor of the Osmanthus oolong milk tea latte better than the jasmine latte I had last time. Daughter liked the mango pomelo with the citrus flavor she had last time over the mango sticky rice smoothie. The mango sticky rice smoothie was creamy though and had good flavor. I forgot about the seasonal special of smashed lime jasmine latte. I will need to order that next time.

    I tried the Tangy Fresh Peach Slush and Peach Yogurt Yakult. Both have a really nice fresh peach…read moreflavor, but they taste completely different. Tangy Fresh Peach Slush Super refreshing with a nice sweet-and-tangy balance. It doesn't taste overly sweet or artificial. I found out they use 4401 premium white peaches, which explains why the peach flavor tastes so natural. Perfect for a hot day! Peach Yogurt Yakult This one might actually be my favorite! The combination of white peach, Yakult, and organic Greek yogurt gives it a smooth, creamy texture while still keeping that fresh peach flavor. Really refreshing and flavorful without feeling too heavy. If you like peach drinks or anything with a sweet-and-tangy flavor, I'd definitely recommend giving these two a try. Definitely one of those places I didn't expect to remember, but ended up wanting to come back to!

    I recently visited Jam Jam Tea & Moment in Irvine, one of my favorite tea spots in the area. The…read moreshop has a cozy and modern design, and the drinks are always beautiful and refreshing. This time, I tried two peach-inspired drinks from their seasonal menu. Tangy Fresh Peach Slush This drink is light, refreshing, and perfect for a hot summer day. It is made with premium 4401 white peaches, giving it a naturally sweet and juicy peach flavor. The slush texture is smooth, and the sweetness is well balanced, so it never feels too heavy. Peach Yogurt Yakult This one was my favorite! It combines premium 4401 white peaches with organic Greek yogurt, creating a creamy yet refreshing taste. The peach flavor blends perfectly with the slight tanginess of the yogurt, making every sip smooth, fruity, and delicious. Both drinks are great choices for peach lovers. If you prefer something icy and refreshing, go for the Peach Slush. If you like a creamier, richer drink, I highly recommend the Peach Yogurt Yakult.

    Refreshing drink and a summer delight :) My girl introduced me to this place last night and she was…read moreso excited for me to try it out. She's a picky when it comes to food, so if she recommends something.. it must be really goooood :) As soon as we went inside, this fresh aromatic flower smell hits my nose; smelled clean and homey. The service is alright with the great smile :) My girl ordered the Mango Coconut for me, which is refreshing because of the chunk of sweet mangoes in it. The coconut is not overwhelming as well, it seemingly blended each other flavor. It is refreshing and not too sweet to my taste. The small boba compliments the drink itself. Overall, a great recommendation for boba lovers :)

    Hey Tea chains are pretty consistent. Pretty pricy drinks and they're all decent. Most of the time…read moreservice is good but this location was not it!!! Went during lunch and there were about 10 orders ahead of mine. Ordered 30 minutes ahead and the drink was still not ready. There is no separate lines for pickups and ordering in person so everyone was just cutting each other. The app said my order was ready so I had to wait in the long line just to get to the front and she said they were still making my drink... I stepped to the side and waited another 10 min. I see the drinks come out but there's no announcements or anything. I had to get back in line again and then ask her for my drink.. If your ordering system is purely reliant on the app and number on the screen, it should be accurate! Or just make a separate area for pickups! You have one person in the front handling orders and serving drinks. This is terrible for the employees and the customers. Drinks were decent tho..

    Came here on a hot Tuesday and tried an iced winter melon drink with 3Q toppings (boba, coconut…read morejelly, and bo-bo). Light ice, very low sugar. It was pretty good! We decided to order at the kiosk and it was pretty smooth. Drinks came out within 5min. It wasn't busy, which was surprising given the temperature and the hour (noon). But that parking lot gets packed and there are so many places to go there. The drink was very refreshing. Great flavor. Since wintermelon is so mild, the sweetness of the drink really came through. The boba was still nice and warm, which is what I like in my drinks. The coconut jelly and bo-bo had nice texture to it. There are seats up and down the shops, including covered seating, which was great on such a hot day.

    I ordered the guanyin brulee milk tea online. The store is cashless and the service is average…read more More workers are needed because it takes a lot of time just for one drink to get made. The tea was only okay, and was quite pricey. I liked the brulee but slightly wished it was torched a bit more. I could not really taste the texture of the green tea jelly and the milk tea itself was also pretty average. There is seating outside but just one bench inside that people could also wait at. Since drinks does take a while I think more seating should be added.

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.

I chose to go with the Mango Dew since it was more of a smoothie and it was a hot day. It had a mango based smoothie with passionfruit, one of my favorite combos. The drink with tax ended up being around $8 and it was ready in about a few minutes. After getting it, I loved the flavor and could not stop drinking it. My only complaint was that even though there was only 3 tables occupied, all the other tables were dirty so we didn't feel comfortable sitting while waiting. I think that says a lot since there were more dirty tables than clean ones. It also made it difficult to tell if someone was sitting at a table or not, or just in the bathroom.

The peaches added a nice crunch and the iciness was super refreshing on a hot day. My boyfriend rice frost was a bit on the mushy side (the rice) and was not as icy as he would've liked it to be. It was also quite sweet despite him ordering less sweetness.
