    Brown Sugar Fresh Milk in holiday cup design
    Ky-Anh H.

    This Presotea location is in a well sized food plaza in Irvine by the entrance, which is a good spot to put their shop. We only had the option of ordering by kiosk, and there was a wide variety of drinks to choose from. We got the Brown Sugar Fresh Milk as well as a Thai Milk Tea. I don't get drinks like the brown sugar fresh milk often, but it was a nice change of pace. I'm into sweetness in my drinks, and this was the right amount at 120%, granted this is way sweeter than normal, and balanced the, purely just, milk I ordered. The Thai milk tea was a bit different in taste compared to normal. It was good, but not what we expected in a Thai milk tea's taste profile compared to other places. Overall I'd recommend Presotea if you're in the area. Their drinks are good and pretty affordable in this economy, big thumbs up :)

    I ordered it with less ice and less toppings.

    I've been here a few times in the past. It's located in a small outdoor but indoor food court area off Michaelson. The ordering doesn't take too long and they have a kiosk you can order from or the person at the register if he's not busy. I have been here when the order has taken 10 min and also when it's been a few minutes. But it's usually not too long. Today I got the Slate Grey Milk tea and subbed organic fresh milk for an addl .70 or so. The drink included boba and grass jelly. It was a black tea and had a great flavor. The boba and jelly both had great textures and imo cooked perfectly. I ordered with less ice and the still filled it to the top.

    I try this place almost on a whim while I was visiting another store in this food court where this Presto tea is located. I went with the A-li Shan milk tea with boba and 30% sweetness and less ice. Overall, it didnt necessarily wow me but the drink was solid none the less. The drink had a good tea flavor which I always appreciate and not overly sweet. The boba itself was actually very delicious. It was warm and chewy like it was just made fresh, which I think was the highlight. Overall, I think this place is worth a try as they also have a large selection of drinks that is sure to please a lot of tea fans.

    Completely random, but wow! I'm so happy to get the pink one!!! My cousin told me it's the My Melody.. so it matches my name, but im so happy for pink! The cashier was very kind too. And it's sort of an outdoor place. I got the slate gray milk tea and it's amazing! Very very happy with my visit :). I'm just really excited for the pink Sanrio My Melody!!!

    strawberry matcha latte

    My friend and I got a drink here to go with our dinner from a different stall in this food hall. I ordered the strawberry matcha, and I was very good! The drink was made in a timely manner. It helped that this was on the earlier side of dinner, and it wasn't crowded at all here. I definitely would come back again!

    Mango Green Tea and Lychee Fruit Tea (w/ Black Pearls)
    Lauren D.

    Decent drinks but could use some work. The menu is the same as other locations with various options. They also offer food items like acai bowls and bubble waffles which I don't think other locations do. There are mobile kiosks to order from which makes it very easy as well as a cashier. The drinks are good, but the workers don't read the comments that we add to the order. I asked for no orange slices and my sister got black pearls, but they added the slices to my drink yet no black pearls to my sister's. They also barely give you a full scoop of toppings when they charge nearly $1 for it. * Lychee Fruit Tea: 10/10 - fruity and sweet * Mango Green Tea: 6/10 - bitter, too much mango, and not enough tea * Black Pearls (Topping): 9/10 - soft and chewy The boba shop is located in Trade Marketplace along with other restaurants which is nice to hang out at. The parking lot is pretty spacious with easy parking but can get crowded at peak times. Compared to their Westminster location, this one lacks in many aspects. Not the best, but also not the worst.

    I visited Presotea in August 2024 after having ramen at Hiro Nori, which is just a few stores down. I ordered the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba, and it was pretty good! The staff was quick, and I liked the convenience of ordering from the touch screen pad. The shop is small and cute, with seating shared with other nearby eateries. It's located next to several small businesses, making it a great spot to grab a drink on the go. Definitely recommend!

    My go-to pre-airport treat. I had a few extra minutes to spare while on pick up duty at John Wayne, so I panicked and stopped for boba. Trade is a food hall-esque shopping center that houses a number of bites and sips under one roof. You'll also find a communal area for lunch or to grab a beer after work. The parking lot can get a bit packed mid-day with the nearby corporate offices, but at night, you're gucci. I ordered the oolong peach tea with 75% sugar and light ice + the boba and cheese foam add on. The balance of sweet and salty in this drink was absolutely incredible. This might be my new favorite combination! My drinks were ready in under 10 minutes. Plus, what better way to greet your friend than with their favorite boba in hand?

    Lychee iced tea and passionfruit

    There were a lot of good choices, I loved the passion fruit pineapple tea and the lychee fruit tea and the service was good she was replay helpful and I loved sitting outside

    Brown Sugar Creme Brulee
    Nichole C.

    My favorite boba/tea shop in da worlllddd! Menu options are insane, and every single thing I try is amazing 10/10. The add ons are top tier, added a tiramisu foam to my brown sugar crème brûlée, and WOWWWW in all seriousness, I'm literally addicted to prestotea..

    Panda Pearl Milk Tea was good, but wished they could add more CREAM to Original Bubble Waffle with strawberry and cream.

    Taro Milk Tea
    Madelyn S.

    I came here on a whim when I wanted some bubble tea at the end of a long day. It was past 8pm so there wasn't any line to be found. I went straight to the self-order machine and got a taro milk tea with boba. In truth I don't think I have the highest standards when it comes to boba tea. Mostly I want it to have good flavor (of course), not be too sweet, and want the boba balls to soft. Thankfully, my milk tea met all of this criteria! The location of the place is nice since it was easy to find parking and is neighbored by other small businesses. This is actually how I found it, by visiting other businesses nearby. On a different visit, I tried a plain bubble waffle with strawberries & cream on top. It was really delicious! Everything was balanced well and the waffle was soft. My only complaint about this place is that it was a bit pricey. My taro milk tea with boba was around $7. Other than that I think it's a nice place that is worth giving a try.

    Panda Pearl Milk Tea
    Rick S.

    Amazing, savory and delicious Pandan Milk Tea and original waffle with strawberry and cream. Located in an open-air food court is perfect ambiance for a place to gather with friends and family for a great dessert or dinner. Staff were friendly and personable, while their service is quick as we got our desserts in less than five minutes. Highly recommended and I look forward to trying other items on their menu at our next visit.

I found the inside decor a bit unexpected, the green walls, the dark vibe with gold accents. It reminded me of a chic lounge or den. I was happy to see they sold drinks and baked goodies. I wasn't in the mood for coffee or a drink, but decided to check out the sweet treats. I was so excited they had Portuguese egg tarts. I am very familiar with the Asian egg tarts, but I haven't had the Portuguese kind. I was eyeing up the banana pudding, but I decided to not get it. Prices seemed a bit high so we just went for 4 egg tarts. We relaxed a bit while our order was ready. They warmed them up, I decided to try one since I am not from this area. MY, oh MY, oh my!!!!!!!!?!!!!!?!!?!!! They were so good, the outside was super flakey, not greasy. The egg center was warm, not too 'eggy' and the sweetness level was just perfect. They were honestly to die for. I contemplated for a few minutes to BUY MORE even though I had only eaten one. I thought, I'm not from this area, so I might as well get more! I ended up getting 5 more, each tart leans on the expensive side for how small they are, but they are mighty delicious!!! I also decided to try the sea salt chocolate chip cookie: Classic Cookie. Traditional components with a dash of sea salt to accentuate the taste of rich imported Belgian chocolate Egg tarts: 5/5!!!!! Honestly when I put in my 2nd order, I couldn't help myself to tell the people behind me how dang good the egg tarts are... They told me they ended up getting some just because I mentioned it.. The salted chocolate cookie looked different to me, it is shaped like a mound. I thought this was good, full of chocolate and the sea salt was good. Would I order it again? Maybe, maybe not. 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 4/5
