I can't say enough good things about this place. The boba is amazing, flavors are delicious, and the staff are so kind. I've been coming here for 2 years and nothing beats Rooster tea house. My go tos are any of the fruit green teas with boba. Lately I've been loving the Strawberry and Peach. You can adjust sweetness too. They also have little ice cream tubs which are the best flavors. LOVE the black sesame and thai tea. read more

Stopped by because we seen that they had boba slushies. I ordered the Mango Slushie with Boba and my granddaughter ordered the Strawberry Matcha with Boba. Both drinks were very delicious. I especially liked that the Boba was soft. My slushie melted fast though. I guess I wasn't drinking it fast enough. The inside is decorated very cute and there's plenty of inside seating. read more

This cute little boba shop was right next to Perspire Sauna Studio where I attended a Yelp Elite event. I decided to pop in for a drink to cool down. The place is small but cute. It's in a strip mall with lots of other businesses so parking can be tough. The girl at the register was informative and gave me descriptions of the drinks on their menu. I ended up with a mango type smoothie with boba. The drink was ok. The mango flavor tasted very artificial. The boba was soft and had good consistency. Overall, the place is cute and vibes but the drink was just ok. read more

Went on a Sunday evening around 5 and it wasn't busy! Worker was pretty helpful and drinks came out quick! I got the mango hibiscus tea with honey boba. I like that they have this flavor because I've never seen it anywhere else! It was a good even mix of fresh mango flavor/juice and hibiscus tea. The hibiscus part was a little too sweet so I'd get lower sweetness if that was an option next time. The honey boba was pretty fresh and chewy. I tried a sip of their peach tea too and I liked it because the tea flavor balanced out the sweetness better. Would come back and get the same or try something different! read more

I was craving for a brown sugar boba milk drink and found Rooster Tea on Yelp while in the area. Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon - it was pretty empty inside with only one person ahead in line. Drinks were quickly delivered upon ordering (~3 minutes). 17 oz Tiger Sweet Milk Boba ($5.45): I asked to adjust sweetness level and was told they could include less brown sugar around the perimeter of the drink. The drink ended up still being incredibly sweet and some of the boba was tender while others had a bit of a hard center. Very disappointing. 17 oz Taro Slush ($5.15): All powder only with no fresh taro, drink was very watered down with just a hint of taro flavor. Overall, not a tea shop I would visit again as the ingredients did not seem as fresh as other boba shops. read more

My cousins and I decided to go to a boba tea shop after going to afternoon tea. I don't care what you think, it's different. I opted for the Hokkaido Milk tea with egg pudding and whole milk, less sweet because the pudding is sweet. My drink came out in a few minutes and it was good. The sweetness was still a bit sweet but I liked it. It's interesting that they use non-dairy for their drinks and charge extra for cow's milk. Glad to see they have the option I guess. I can see how parking in this tiny lot can get crazy but we went when there was a lull in activity on a Sunday afternoon. Service was good and they had some spots to sit which we took advantage of. read more

The server was super nice and gave me recommendations and even a sample of cheese foam. Their matcha was also delicious.

Tried out Rooster Tea while I was in the area. The staff were very friendly and helped us work through a larger group order efficiently which I appreciate. I personally got the strawberry matcha latte, which has plenty of strawberry purée (I'd say it leans more on the stronger strawberry flavor end than stronger matcha flavor) and comes with sea cream foam on top that can be taken off or adjusted at your request. Their golden boba is also very pleasantly chewy. The sweetness level for most of the drinks is pretty high by default so I would recommend you get 50% or lower if you're looking for a less sugary drink, although some of them have the sweetness set. Overall a nice place to go to for drinks if you're in the mood. read more

Whenever I step into this store, it always reminds me of the beach! I love how chewy their boba is here and the drinks are always consistently made. I love their exclusive flavors too, back when they had blueberry matcha!! The mango matcha is always my go to. The matcha isn't the best, but it's pretty good as a tea drink and the fruits taste fresh! The drinks were made quickly and the servers were friendly. I love how this place has outlets near the seats and lovely decor! read more

I happened to be in the area today and decided to try out this location. I ordered the mango hibiscus drink and was really impressed. It tasted fresh, fruity, and refreshing, with small chunks of mango that added a nice touch. The boba was perfectly chewy, just the way I like it! The staff was friendly and helpful, and the overall vibe of the shop was cozy and welcoming. They also have the lunar new year decorations up which make the shop even more festive. read more

Stopped by for a boba fix, and saw they had pretty good reviews! Their drinks are very fair priced, their toppings were good and fresh, and their teas and slushies were delightful. I got the lychee green tea which was super delicious and light. My kids go the mango and strawberry slush and couldn't stop raving about it. There do offer seating but it is limited.

I absolutely love Rooster! It is one of the best places to go, especially in the summer because their drinks are so refreshing! They have an extremely wide selection of different types and flavors of drinks so there is something for everyone! All the staff at Rooster are incredibly kind and thoughtful! They will let you try the different toppings and teas and they are more than happy to help you figure out what you want. Rooster Tea is a great place to hang out with friends because it is very well decorated and has an inviting bright and colorful ambiance. It is also always outstandingly clean and a great quick stop because it never takes more than five minutes to get your drink! read more

Mango Matcha Latte * matcha latte that surprisingly paired really well with mango bits * matcha was not super strong Strawberry Hibiscus Tea * sourness from hibiscus overpowered strawberry flavor * refreshing summer menu item * drinks ordered were not overly sweet * boba was chewy and fresh * menu items were pretty standard and items ordered did not particularly stand out in quality or taste 8/10 read more

Rooster Tea - Costa Mesa - Bubble Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Ordered a mango peach green tea less ice and sugar -- a boring order for such a well-rounded menu. Tasted fresher and more natural without being too earthy -- less syrupy than other boba spots. Boba soft, chewy and fresh. Much healthier alternatives to the standard bubble tea store. Menu says they use actual fruit juice in at least some of their drinks, which was apparent in the end result of their product. They also offer substitutions of almond and oat milk in their milk teas, etc. as opposed to non-dairy creamer -- a HUGE plus for me. Customer service warm, welcoming, helpful, and efficient. Great location in East side Costa Mesa on 17th st. Areas to study or work and free WiFi. They offer a substantial variety of drinks compared to other bubble tea shops. Cant wait to come back and try their Matcha Blitz or Taro Coconut Milk Tea read more

My family and I came here after our beach day. This place is at the lower end with soo many other boba business options. Definitely not the best! Just wanted to give my review because we love boba and I was kinda disappointed since we were really looking forward to having a good drink and the large cup is kinda small compared to other businesses. However, I did give them 3 stars due to the employee's being kind but they did put alot of ice in our drinks. read more

After dinner, my friend and I couldn't decide where to go for boba. He had me pick a number and it led us to Rooster Tea haha It turned out to be a miss for me but I personally didn't have high expectations coming in I ordered the strawberry matcha. It didn't taste like matcha nor did it taste like strawberry. It was also a bit salty in a way so that was kinda interesting. I enjoyed the boba though but won't be coming back read more

One of my favorite boba spots in the area!! The owner is always nice and I love supporting local businesses. The drinks are delicious and pretty good quality in the milk and toppings, at least as far as flavor goes. The biggest con is the parking - this lot is often a nightmare to get in and out of, particularly at rush times. Finding a spot on my last visit took over 5 minutes of circling the lot in chaos. The staffing may need to be upped. The girl at the counter was upfront and let me know that it would be a bit of a wait on a week night at about 5:30pm. About 5 other in-person orders were made ahead of mine, as well as what I assume where onlines. But I ended up waiting 15+ minutes for a single drink (I agreed to wait, I'll admit). Not my finest visit here, but I've had good experiences in the past. read more

I went to Rooster's Tea yesterday after work and tried something new! As I was driving side streets it was a nice scenic view too. As I arrived to Rooster's Tea I couldn't find it because I was looking at the building and had missed its name too. When calling the store an associate who picked up was friendly too and was helpful. The parking could be difficult because it's medium sized and kind of packed in a way. I ordered the mango slushy with egg pudding, crystal boba, and mango puree. I couldn't have anything caffeinated but caffeine free. I decided to try their slushy instead. The mango in the slushy wasn't the real fruit but the mango puree was the real fruit and delicious. My drink was pretty refreshing and their slush ice was nice and smoothe. I ordered my husband and son honeydew slush as well! I would like to try their strawberry slushy next time too! The gentlemen working in the store was nice and friendly and I could probably storm up a convo in there! read more

Brown Sugar milk tea is good! Not too sweet and refreshing on a hot day. I wish they would give just a tiny bit more boba as I'm all about those! Tried the tiger milk tea and was not a huge fan. I think it had too many flavors going on for me. I'll stick to my usual brown sugar milk tea. The inside is well maintained, really clean and cute hipster vibes. The workers are friendly and really warming. Not sure if the lady I keep running Into is the owner but she's sweet. The inside is Definitely perfect for Newport Mesa vibes! Parking is not the greatest but it's not their fault. The plaza is just always jammed pack so prepare to wait for at least 5 or 10 mins for a spot depending on when you go. read more

I remember the boba being good but the milk tea didn't stand out to me. Overall my experiences here have been just okay. read more
