    I came in today for the shaved ice as I saw the shaved ice A-board outside a few days ago and it is just too hot lately. I kept my expectation low (realistic?) because I wasn't sure what to expect. My first impression walking in, this place is for teenagers and young adults. You have to walk pass a few tabletop games and electronics games to get to the ordering kiosks. The kiosk is fairly easy to use. You will receive a link to receipt also when the order is ready. I would put its shaved ice in the category of snow cones. I wonder if these mini ice cubes are made in trays due to its perfect square shape. Syrups are not too sweet. But the ice clung together towards the bottom of the cup. Overall it is not a bad option to cool down.

    The label says "No Ice" but they put a ton of ice in the drink and refused to make us a new one.

    I've been coming to this boba shop for years, but unfortunately today they've lost a loyal customer. My 8 yr old son ordered a drink with NO ICE. He specifically chose no ice because he doesn't like watery drinks. When he picked up his drink, he didn't tell me that they had ignored his request and made his drink with a ton of ice. He drank some of it because he was thirsty but when I realized that the drink had ice, I told my son we needed to go back to let them know so that they can make him a new drink. The guy at the counter said that they were not going to make him another drink because my son had already drank some of it. I pointed out that the drink had ice even though the label clearly said "no ice" and that an 8 yr old doesn't know about returning a drink that wasn't made to his specifications. The guy at the counter still said no, that he will not be making us a new drink even though it was his mistake not ours. I expressed that we are regulars at this place and that it's a bummer they'll be losing a customer but he didn't seem to care. I've attached the picture with the "no ice" label which clearly shows a ton of ice.

    Stopped by here after a hike in the area. Once you walk in there's a touchscreen where you can place an order yourself and it's pretty convenient. They also have a bunch of board games and vending/claw machines to play while waiting or enjoying your drink. The tea tasted fine and prices are good.

    After lunch, we boba! I think I've only had Presotea once before, so I wasn't very familiar with their menu offerings. However, they have self-serve kiosks so that you can take your time viewing the menu and pick whatever your heart desires. I wanted something fruity, light and cold since I had some numbing noodles next door. I was already hot from lunch, so I needed something to cool me off. I decided to go with the Strawberry Cloud with pudding. It was blended to almost an ice cream consistency and the pudding was a nice complement. Highly recommend and would definitely get again.

    Brown sugar avocado smoothie with sea salt cream - decent. The main issue is that the boba was either overcooked or it's been sitting for a while

    It's a great area to hangout with kids or friends because of the amount of board games and interactive things they provide for you. My kids love playing their jenga, Pac-Man arcade games here. However, for drinks no. Their strawberry cloud was not good and no flavour given it was 100% sweet. It was barely sweet so my kids did not like their drink.

    Great boba shop with lots of daily deals. They have a summer promotion for BOGO Brown sugar series and a coffee happy hour for BOGO coffee drinks from 10:30am-2:00 pm. They also accept the lake forest yifti gift card so it makes it an even better deal. Inside they offer claw machines at $1 a play and unlimited arcade games. The boba is nice and chewy and the teas are pulled in thru an expresso machine. It does take a little longer to make each drink because of this. I opted for the roasted hojicha this time, but will definitely be back to try others.

    Tour De Boba continues. Writing this review at midnight because I drank my tea a little past my window, so I am currently wide awake. Oh man, I feel like the past year a dozen boba shops have opened in our area. I remember having to make the drive to Irvine for my boba fix. These days, I have options and they're all less than a 10 minute drive. Stumbled upon Presotea while having lunch a few doors down. (Long's Noodle House - ANOTHER GEM!) Immediately drawn in by the clean and modern interior. Quite surprised they're all digital... three stations to order & pay from. The interface is very user friendly. Makes ordering very smooth and easy. All their teas are freshly brewed / "pressed". I had the Lychee Milk tea with Lychee jelly. My new favorite drink and I don't usually get milk teas. We also tried the Matcha milk tea sub oat milk. Great flavors. I am a huge fan. Can't wait to try everything. They also have specials. Today was BOGO on select teas like the toffee milk tea & the Vietnamese coffee. Unless marked sold out on the screen. And per usual, quality takes time. But the drinks are worth it. The pricing surprised me too... cheaper than the other tea spots. Definitely highly recommend.

    Boba!!!

    Eeek this place is so cute!!! They have the cutest decor and photo spots lol. They also have a nice fish tank!! And like old school arcade games!! I didn't play any but how cute! You order at the kiosk when you walk in. I got the lychee tea. It tasted pretty good but I should've gotten at least 50% sugar. Or else it just tastes kind of bitter. Boo. But what a cute spot. Want to try their a açaí bowls next time!!!

    Food: I ordered the Hokkaido milk tea. It was better than expected. The price point was fair across the menu items. They also offer shaved ice and acai bowls. Service: it was good. I do believe that you'll get your drinks faster if you order online. Ambience: the shop was clean and tidy. Sofas, arm chairs, tables as well as board games are available for those that want to hang out to enjoy their drink. I thought that was a terrific idea.

    Came here to try out their Acai bowls and they are not made fresh. Prepackaged and small. $9 for this? Not worth it. Quality of drinks have gone down too. Bummer and probably won't be back.

    Decided to stop in for a refreshing milk tea one afternoon. Ordered a creme brulee milk tea with boba. The young woman working here was very nice and went about her work quickly...I mean Tasmanian Devil quick (finally an opportunity for a Warner Bros. cartoon reference)! I guess I was expecting some vanilla-caramel flavor but my taste buds registered it as tasting like a very, VERY milky Thai iced tea with extremely mushy boba. I'll probably give this place another try sometime, maybe try their Vietnamese coffee, but no rush.

    The best tea place here in South OC! It's a hidden gem. I go here at least twice a week. My entire family loves their teas as well.

    Can I bring my own cup? I'm trying to reduce single use plastics:)

    So you have almond or coconut milk or is dairy milk the only option?

    Hello, we have oat milk as our non dairy option. Our creamer also contains dairy. If you have anymore questions, please let me know.…

The breakfast bowl was pretty filling for an early morning meal, and the Strawberry Matcha had a good balance of flavors. On my second visit, I tried the Monastery Latte with oat milk. It had subtle notes of locally sourced Ramakrishna honey and house-made lavender syrup. The oat milk may have lightened the flavors a bit, but it was still a satisfying drink for a cold morning. I'd come back and try it iced next time to see how the flavors compare. Overall, I've enjoyed both visits and would come back to explore more of the food and drink menu. Location & Parking: 5/5 The café is located in a large shopping plaza with plenty of parking. The lot was pretty empty during my morning visits, although I can't speak for how busy it gets in the afternoon or evening. Ambiance: 5/5 The café has a homey and inviting atmosphere that really fits the idea of a "third place." It's a great spot to relax and catch up with someone or settle in and get some work done. Overall: 5/5 A cozy neighborhood coffee shop that I can see myself coming back to. I've had a good experience both times and still have plenty of other menu items I want to try.

Lots of business people post up out here working or taking meetings, which makes it lively. Whenever I've been in, service has been friendly and I've never had an issue. The coffee is yummy and so are the pastries, and my little one is obsessed with their gelato. Milk options are great too, though they do upcharge for them, which is a minor gripe at most. I mostly stick to lattes, but their signature and seasonal drinks are worth branching out for. The coconut cloud matcha in particular is incredible. They also have an app with a loyalty program, which is a small but appreciated bonus for regulars. This is actually their flagship location, and they roast their own beans on site, so you can watch the roasting process happen while you sip your drink, a fun detail most people probably walk right past. Only real gripe is that they close at 2pm on weekends, which is exactly when I usually swing by. Wish they'd push it to 3pm. A girl can dream.
