I ordered Brown Sugar Creme Brulee using the Ritual app. Had the following issues: 1) They made a mistake on my first order and missed the Brown Sugar. It was literally milk. 2) I informed then about the mistake. Terry acknowledged and apologized for it. They took the wrong drink to their kitchen. They did it correctly the second time but only filled 3/4 of the drink cup. Maybe they were cutting cost and figured since I sipped the first drink that they should reduce the amount or perhaps even reused the same drink and just added the syrup and creme brulee. However, that is still really poor customer service. 3) The Presotea prices were higher in the app then in the local store which is not supposed to be the case, as per Ritual app. read more

I absolutely enjoyed the blueberry tea! It was delicious! Highly recommended, especially if you like sweet flavors.

To be honest, it's decent. If you really want tea, it is not the worst option in the world. It's got a large selection of drinks with varying quality. I would say definitely stay on their recommended drinks as the others are so-so. The price ain't bad either, it doesn't make my wallet go sad. The only real problem I have with the place is that it's just decent. There isn't any stand out drinks that really impressed me. It's there if you want tea quick, but there are much better options, albeit at a slightly higher price, around in Irvine. Overall, I'm okay with the place. It's fine. read more

I tried their taro cloud and it was good. My all time favourite boba is taro/ube based. I would definitely recommend this ine for it.

My hojicha milk tea with boba was exactly what I was looking for with 30% sweetness. The tea itself was great but I find that it takes me awhile to order from the self order kiosk. I take the star away because I have been here a few times now and that always seems to be my only issue. The reason it's an issue is it can really delay the line if people struggle to order because they have so many options to navigate through. The long line has deterred me a few times as well when there are a lot of people in the area ordering. read more

I ordered two drinks a Oolang tea and a slush. I usually don't write reviews but when I paid $14 for it to taste like pure water. I am very disappointed. 1 star for the lychee jelly. I don't recommend, it wasn't busy, whatsoever. read more

Fantastic little boba tea place in food court , I reccomend this place it's chill and they have some of the best tasting boba and best service, friendly I highly recommend 10/10!!!! read more

There are quite a few Presoteas around now, but not all of them are consistent. This location is better than some of the others. Located in the Trade, they have a wide variety of drinks and egg waffle puffs. read more

Super easy to order, all transaction was done on a portal, no interface with attendant. I walked up from the very packed parking lot. GO after lunch rush for easy parking. Upon placing your order there's plenty of pictures with detailed description of what's available. I ordered the strawberry mango with orange tea. It was delightful, and very inexpensive. I highly recommend trying this place for a refreshing tea. I have attached pictures for your review. read more

When I came to visit TRADE Food Hall, I noticed Presotea had the most business out of the other stalls, so I definitely wanted to give it a try. I ordered a basic Pearl Milk Tea. It wasn't anything special, the flavor was just alright. It was a little too watery for me, and the boba itself didn't really add anything to the drink since it wasn't really sweet at all. Maybe it's my fault for not ordering one of their specialty drinks, but sometimes you just want to have a plain milk tea-- in my opinion, you can really tell if a place is good if they have a solid recipe for the classics. I did appreciate their self-serve kiosk, I was able to look through all their menu items with descriptions of what each item was, and it was really convenient and easy to use. And even though there were lots of people waiting around for their drinks, the service was really quick and I didn't have to wait long at all to receive my drink. If I come back to this food hall, I would be interested in trying some other drinks here! read more

I like this spot. The boba is reasonably priced, usually not super busy. Boba is delicious and their menu is vast. Take it to go or enjoy it there with outdoor seating. Sometimes parking can be tricky because the lot is small. read more

Wow I hate giving anyone less than 3 stars but the boba tea tasted awful! It was diluted and basically tasted like drinking dirty water. The bobas weren't good either. I'm giving them 2 stars instead of 1 because they let us exchange it. However the second drink was marginally better. We even tried the crystal boba instead - that wasn't good either. I have no idea how this place has such a high rating. I am totally not super picky but I have to admit I wouldn't drink either beverage we tried. Let's hope we just happen to come on a "bad day" even though it was the weekend so it's not like it's a slow day lol. Anyways sorry I can't recommend this place when there are way better boba places nearby. read more

Presotea is probably my favorite boba spot in Irvine. I get the ceylon black milk tea with 80% sweetness and no toppings. It's the perfect amount of sweetness (not overbearing and not too little) but if you don't love sweetness, I would go down to 50%. It's located in a shop area with lots of stalls so there's also lots of food to choose from and lots of seating! read more

My drink was so watery. It was over $7 and was just a watery drink but I also overheard a customet talking about ROACHES being in the back kitchen if you check google you can read the health inspector shut them down just this week read more

My daughter got an Osmanthus oolong tea with strawberry boba and let me have a sip--what a delicious drink! Highly recommend! Staff were knowledgeable and helpful. Would visit again! read more

Not sure if we came on an off day, but it took over 30 mins to get our basic brown sugar boba drink. The drink itself was good, but we had to check in with the staff multiple times to see what was going on. If we were on a time crunch this would not have worked. read more

This place is not bad for a quick boba run! I got to try the brown sugar milk tea and the A-li shan iced tea (both at 100% sweetness) during my trip here. For the brown sugar milk tea, the flavor was actually more mellow than I was expecting. I've been looking for a super brown sugary drink that is so concentrated, it makes me thirsty instantly. This drink is actually the opposite of it, but if you're looking for something less sweet, this drink might be for you. The a-li shan tea was actually very refreshing! It was very light and also not too sweet either. It definitely quenches your thirst, but there is only a slight tea flavor from what I could tell. Based on my experience, this place is great if you don't have much of a sweet tooth. It was also pretty quick to get my order as they use a self serve kiosk to get your order! read more

Tried 3 different teas here, but all of them tasted weak and watery. Matcha tasted like cheap powder and boba was soggy. Thoroughly unimpressed. read more

I didn't expect much, but Presotea exceeded my low expectations lol. They have so many drink options and alternative milk options. Wintermelon and hojicha milk tea with panda pearls and oat milk - what a unique combo. There was just a light hojicha taste - could have used more, but I still really enjoyed the drink. There were pieces of fruit (I think) as well. I also loved that you can get panda pearls - crystal and regular boba! I got 0% sweet and it was still lightly sweet - perfect for me. It didn't take long to get our drinks either. read more

Really great quality tea with a big menu. They have a good variety of milk teas and fruit drinks. The tea is brewed fresh through the espresso machine and I can definitely taste the quality in each sip. I opted for a Wintermelon Hojicha Milk Tea with 70% sweetness and grass jelly. I really loved the sweet wintermelon chunks and it blended well with the roasted Hojicha flavor! 70% sweetness was perfect to balance the sweet grass jelly and the roasted tea flavor. Online ordering system was efficient and drinks were made fast. I can't wait to try their other drinks :) 10/10 read more

I come here whenever I'm in this shopping center! The actual boba is always cooked to perfection. Never too hard or extra chewy. Most of the team working there is friendly. I enjoyed the wintermelon chunks in this drink but that's about it. The actual milk tea was very bland and tasted watered down. I think it's best to stick to their blended drinks here! read more

Presotea Irvine - Wintermelon Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Plenty of options for flavors and add ons. You can adjust sweetness as well. Out of the 2 drinks we had both were in the less sweet side which we prefer. Cool little spot that has other vendors right next door. Outside seating is great on nice days. read more

I love that their items are less sweet in comparison to other places! I adjusted the drink sweetness and it tasted very tea-like which I enjoyed. If you normally get like 25-30% sweetness at other places and want to stay at that level, I recommend getting 50% here. I was excited about the waffles but they weren't as expected. I won't be back for the waffles but I recommend trying their drinks out especially if you seek healthier options! read more

Service is friendly and quick:) Thai tea was delicious, definitely less is more with the sugar! We got 30% and it was perfect! you get a pretty large drink that is perfect to share, my fiancé and I split one:) the ambiance per say isn't much to note but this is mainly because this little tea spot is located in a food mall. They do have lots of pictures of the drinks which makes ordering much easier. Will note parking can be pretty frustrating at this location. Very limited spots and it jams up quickly. read more

I've come here a few times so far, and can say that I really enjoy their teas! They were always patient with me asking about their sweetness levels (I try to lean low sweetness) and always offered to adjust if it ends up too sweet. So far, I've tried their pineapple fruit tea, signature fruit tea, and strawberry lychee fruit tea, and all have turned out great at 0% sweetness (YMMV). Found in the same food court as Two Birds and Champion's Curry, it makes for a great lunch + drink pairing! Parking is free but can get crowded on weekends for lunch. Would recommend stopping by if you're craving fruit teas! read more

Located in plaza near HiroNori Got the Taiwanese pineapple iced tea at 30% sweet. The taste is similar to the jam in fung li su (Taiwanese pineapple cake), and 30% was perfect: not too sweet but still flavorful Love that they have an open kitchen (through the window) so you can watch your drinks being made. Friendly service! Will be back to try other drinks read more

Excited to see another presotea open up in the OC area. I know they have a bunch of locations already, but this is my first time trying it. This location is in an interesting spot. You order at one window and then walk around to the other side of the building (the side near duck donut) to pick up the drinks. It was also interesting to see the machine they used to make these drinks. It kinda resembles an espresso machine where they put in the tea and the flavor is extracted with high pressure. Seeing this through the window got me super hyped up for the drinks. I ordered the Ceylon milk tea with boba and unfortunately it tasted mostly like milk with a very light tea flavor. With their high pressure extraction, I was really hoping for a strong tea flavor, but the tea taste was barely there. I got half sweet and this was a good sweetness for me. Even with less sugar, I still didn't taste much tea. The boba itself was just an okay texture. A bit too soft for me since I like it more chewy. Overall the drink was meh. Drink: 6/10, wait time: less than 5 min read more

Presotea had about a variety of tea and milk tea in which I have never seen at other boba places. Ordered the White Peach Milk Tea and A-Li Shan Milk Tea. Both drinks turned out so good and weren't super sweet! It left me wanting more. For those who prefer a variety of tea options, this is your place! read more

Great drinks, average to above average price. In total, we ordered a Wintermelon Lemon Tea and a Black Sugar Creme Brulee. We also bought midnight blueberry and white peach fruit tea for friends! My favorite was the black sugar crepe brûlée because of the sweetness and milky-ness. Although, I did ask for "less ice" but received plenty of ice. The wintermelon lemon wasn't my cup of tea because it tasted very much lemony rather than wintermelon, but paired with the toppings made it so much better. Tina (our cashier) was adorable and kind. Would come back for more! read more

I've never been to a Presotea before, but I don't think I'm going to be able to stop coming here. In fact we're already planning on coming back tomorrow. Their avocado smoothie is made with a whole fresh avocado and all of their drinks are made to order from scratch. And you can really taste the difference. On top of all that, the owners and staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel very welcome. I rarely gush over a business on Yelp, but this is one of those places that makes me eager to share it with everyone. Support local businesses! read more

I wish I could try all items, but I still haven't had a chance. Just let you know that spot has been my favorite place when I have been there. Thanks, Tina, for your service & I love their waffles + a boba, as ever. read more

This place was really disappointing. I got the Peach Oolong Milk Tea w/ boba and it tasted like a cup of milk with a light peach flavor. I couldn't taste the oolong tea hardly at all. I exchanged it for the Ceylon Milk Tea thinking it would have a stronger flavor. It did, but it was still so watery. Both drinks were lacking in flavor, body, and richness. I would only come back again to try the fruit teas if I already happened to be in this shopping center. read more

Thank you, for your reply. However, that is incorrect, Tina. Please review my receipt again. I received the BOGO drink, that is accurate. But I was not given the additional free drink because I was one of the first 100, as I explained to you in person and in my comment above. That is a total of 3 drinks, which I had hoped to share. You had indicated that it was busy and there were too many people in line. While I appreciate that it was your first day fully open and the challenges that come with it, mostly, I was disappointed with the customer service after waiting 1.5hrs in the heat. read more

Second (last) bad experience at this location ... I got to the center to grab lunch early today, lots of parking at 1130 for sure. While waiting for my food I ventured over to the empty store front and started attempting navigation of the order system. Walking up I saw 2 employees chatting in the back, no other customers and nothing being made. Very odd Im still ordering from a machine? I place my order and it asks for my phone number a second time, so I enter it and it spins. A minute or 2 later it asks if Im still there but is also still processing my phone number?? I back out and try again, still hung up on my phone number I try to back out again, now my food order is paging me. The Currey spot cooked, processed and packed my order before I could simply order one coffee from an empty stand? Walking away the two employees still chatting in the back. I wish one of them could have checked on the counter. Super disappointed for a 2nd (last) time. read more

Somehow messed up my order. Gave me the wrong drink. I didn't noticed until I left. Judging from whatever mystery drink that they gave me, it was just alright. The flavor was not discernable and toppings were just there. Painfully average and nothing special. Update: Owner claims pudding is creme brulee. I know what wintermelon is supposed to taste like, it's my go-to drink at every boba shop that has it. If they are claiming that is wintermelon and those are watermelon bits, then I need to get a COVID test because my taste buds are not working or other places are making it wrong. read more
