    I came all the way out here for one of those cool looking reusable cups with the design on them and the twist looking lid. I've been seeing a lot with the cute astronaut on the cups, sailor moon and other collections with different shows When I walked in I saw all the glass shelves with all the cool different cups. So I got really excited. (The place actually had a bunch of cute stuff everywhere). I was greeted by really friendly staff. I asked her how it works? Like, how much do I have to spend in order to get these cool cups? Is it just certain drinks it comes in? And then that's when she told me that I have to check their Instagram to see when they are giving those out. (I even offered to pay for them, but unfortunately she said they weren't for sale) and just kept telling me to check their Instagram account for when they are having the cups available for that. This was really disappointing, but I did still stay and get a drink. Which, it actually was extremely delicious. I went with one of the- Chill me, drinks. I went with the pink frost. The chill me drinks say- they are made with non dairy base, blended ice, real fruit, 100 percent juice and no artificial syrups or powders used The pink frost had pomegranate and coconut. And again this was absolutely delicious. So I would come back and hope that it's on the days where they have the cute cups. I just wish that since they had the cups on display that I could of bought one of them Other than that, the staff was friendly and the drink was really good. But I wouldn't have came if I knew that and wish it was listed somewhere so I could have at least called beforehand. So that's the only reason for the 4 stars

    Update review.... still going strong here at Roasting Waters. Enjoyed 2 hot drinks (jasmine sea cream n RW mocha coffee). Both tasty but on the sweet side. Not sure if u can have sweetness adjusted. Staff friendly n efficient.

    amazing that I haven't written about this place already. I still had the old glass bottles in my photos for here. After all this time this place still has some solid hitters that you just can't get anywhere else. Always end up leaving with a Jack n Jill or the Yeti, i also like castaway.

    Long Beach is one of their newer locations (I'm not sure if they've opened more, but it's one of my favorite locations to go to aside from Westminster. I always get good service here at this location and it's a must go to before heading home to San Jose. The people I've encountered at this location have always been very nice and sweet despite me ordering 10 drinks at a time. This interior of this location is super cute and clean. If you need to use the bathroom, they're located outside across from the store. Pro tip: this coffee freezes really well! Hence me buying 10 at a time. Also, my very picky Vietnamese mother loves their coffee too and that's saying A LOT.

    We're frequent customers of Roasting Water, but this was our first time checking out this location. It's located in the Long Beach Towne Center near the movie theater. One of the things we've always liked about Roasting Water is the variety of drinks and the unique cup designs that set them apart from other boba spots. We visited during a promotion--spend $15 and get a free character keychain. The staff was nice enough to dig through the options so we could get the character we wanted.

    Been coming here for years every once in a while and I really enjoy the drinks that I get! I've also been getting super cute bottles every time! It was empty when we went on a Saturday evening so drinks came out quick! Friendly service. They have lots of cute stuff to buy ranging from various animes to Studio Ghibli merch. What we ordered: -Strawberry Blonde Smoothie: I've always gotten smoothies because the smoothies just hit different here. Anyways, this one was so refreshing and good! Nice mango flavor and creaminess (I feel like there's yogurt in this one? It didn't say.) and wasn't too sweet. I didn't taste the strawberry much but I enjoyed it! 4/5 -Green Milk Tea with boba: My brother got this and really enjoyed this! Something I noticed: Their bottles have definitely changed through the years. I believe that they used to be glass and have an actual cork lid! This was what lured all of us to this place back in the day. Then they transitioned to plastic bottles with metal screw on lids that had a small handle which was very handy! Now, they are plastic with a wider mouth and a larger screw on cap without a handle. I'm guessing that these newer cups are more affordable and durable than the OG ones which is totally understandable. Props to them for being able to consistently offer cute/cool designs on their bottles that customers can reuse and staying relevant through all these years because a lot of businesses have closed down in the plaza that this shop is located in and not much new businesses have opened up since. Overall, I really like this place and love the bottles they present their drinks in! I'll definitely continue supporting this unique place!

    Lots of lychee

    What time y'all really close cause the GG one says 10 on Yelp but 8 at the door?

    I have swung by twice on my way to work recently around 8:30 in the morning and they are not open! Does anyone know what time they really open? (Online it says 7:30AM)

    9 am!

    Do they accept apple pay?

    probably

    Do the hot drinks also come in the bottles?

    No, just the cold drinks

    How's the lava lush?

    Never had it but I have not had anything bad yet at the place

    Are the glass bottles coming back? Went for n there just now and they're using the plastic bottles. *Boo*

    Unfortunately there's no knowing when they'll have what design. It's best to call ahead of time before going in or check their IG page to keep up with their designs.

    Are the bottles BPA free? Ive been getting a lot of responses about being glass. Their bottles are plastic.

    I do not know. The bottles do not have a recycling number. Sometimes they give out glass bottles but recently I've been getting plastic.

    Could you choose what glass you want? The mermaid one looks so beautiful

    no

    What's a popular drink??? A smoothie or chill me

    Strawberry blonde

    It's good for my A1C that I don't live close. (But my family and I have been making the drive daily…read moresince we discovered this place! ) Mango sticky rice 50% sweet is PERFECT! This place proves you don't need a huge storefront to serve huge flavor. The crew is so friendly that I almost forgot I was there for boba and not a family reunion. Drinks were delicious, service was fast, and everyone had great energy. My only complaint? The lid seems to believe in freedom . It could definitely seal better because I spent part of my trip home making sure my drink didn't become my passenger's drink. Still giving it 5 stars. May I bring my 32 oz tumbler so you can fill it with Mango sticky rice please?

We tried the mango calamansi and guava matcha (from the summer seasonal series), both with lychee jelly. Both drinks were enjoyable and tasted like their namesake flavors. The calamansi drink was very refreshing, and the guava with matcha was a unique twist on a classic drink. Another plus was the option for lactose-free milk. It's not always easy to find lactose-free products, so it's great that it's an option here. We didn't realize we could adjust the sweetness and ice levels, as there were no signs indicating we could do so, and the cashier didn't ask us if we wanted to. If we had known, we would've gone down on the sweetness by at least 50%, as both drinks were quite sweet. Service here was also exceptionally warm and friendly. There are a few tables to sit at and a few card games to entertain yourself with if you decide to spend some time in the shop. Overall, would recommend for a boba pit stop if you're in the area.

Favorites include Queen Bee, Lychee tea, Thai Tea, Matcha Milk Tea, and Mango-Strawberry Freeze. They recently added croffles to their menu. We tried the Nutella- Almond flavor and it was so delicious. We should have gotten two instead of sharing. LOL They have a rewards system, which is great for frequent patrons. IMO - The only thing that prevents it from being 5 stars are the employees. They avoid eye contact, generally do not greet patrons when entering the store, and barely make eye contact when calling out orders. I am usually the one who says "hello" and "thank you" first. Sometimes I get a response, sometimes it's complete crickets.

Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a couple tables and chairs. Seating is very limited. There's cute wall decor and backgrounds for photos. Service: We placed our orders at the kiosk. Throughput was quick & efficient after ordering. The two workers we encountered were courteous. Drinks: I got the Matcha Brûlée, and my friend got the House Coffee with sea salt foam. The matcha brûlée came with brown sugar boba. I couldn't taste the matcha bc the brown sugar was very overpowering. The boba texture was good. The brûlée swirls were very faint. Overall, the flavors could use some improvements. The house coffee was thick and creamy. The sea salt foam was okay; could be thicker with a bit more salt. Pricing: Average prices for boba drinks nowadays. I'd visit again bc their milk teas are good, but I wouldn't get the Matcha Brûlée again.

I've only tried a couple drinks from here, but my go to is the Strawberry Lychee Lemonade (which comes with lychee jelly but you can sub for boba or remove if you don't like). It's pretty sweet and refreshing, and one of the only boba spots that has any lemonade options so I give them an extra star for that. I will say, most times I've gone here, the service has been between kinda and really slow and delayed. I'm not sure if it's the size of the menu making it difficult to get out in a timely manner, the staff specifically, or something else but the speed of taking orders and making drinks is a little slower than I'd like as a customer. Last time in there were 2 workers and about 10 people behind on making drinks by the time my order was taken. Meaning it took about 15 minutes to get my drink. I'll try and order online next time and see if that may be faster

Unfortunately, this location was a completely different experience. Drinks were also not consistent. The sweetness level was INSANELY sweet. I normally get light sweet and my partner gets normal sweetness. His drink was much sweeter than normal, whereas my drink tasted like a normal sweetness level. The service was disappointing from the start. The staff came across as a bit rude, and I was surprised watching how the drinks were being prepared. It wasn't busy at all. There were only two parties in the shop. I watched the barista start making my drink by pouring the tea, but instead of finishing it with the milk foam, she set it aside and began making the "easier" drinks for the party that ordered after me. They ended up receiving their entire order before my drink was even finished despite ordering after me. I understand trying to improve efficiency during a rush, but when there are only a couple of customers, it's frustrating to see orders completed out of sequence without any explanation. It definitely left a bad impression, especially since I've always had such positive experiences at other Wushiland locations.
