After eating sushi and seeing this place was right across the street, me and a friend decided to try it out! Place seemed very busy when we walked inside. Probably about 5 parties were waiting for there drinks while there were 3 parties ahead of us still before we could order. Interior is pretty roomy and the menu itself is pretty extensive and they do have a variety of drinks here. I decided to order the mango green tea with boba while my friend had the iced coffee with boba. We waited a couple of minutes at a bench where the floor was fairly sticky. People must've spilled some drinks there but oh well it happens. I was semi observant of the workers and man they work at a super fast pace! They were cranking out the drinks really quick that I noticed that some of the milk teas when being placed in the machine that caps the drink itself were being spilled all over because they were placed there hastily. The worker would then wipe the drink and serve it. Not saying that's a negative or anything cause I understood how busy it was but wow lol. Have to say though, this was probably one of the only times I couldn't finish a boba drink. Mango flavor was really non existent. Literally just tasted like green tea with boba. The boba was super chewy compared to other boba I've had. I probably had about 1/3 of my drink left before trashing it. The menu does seem really extensive and I'm sure there are some really good staples here. Maybe we just came at a bad time and I understand that but because of that experience I would recommend getting boba elsewhere. Maybe I'll come back when it's less busy but for now, pretty disappointing if you ask me. read more

I came here on a rainy day with my best friend and there was a line out the door, not really sure why.. The cool thing about this boba shop is that the cups are HUGE. They do have some interesting drink choices, but the menu doesn't have a ton of variety which is something I look for in a boba shop. Another thing I noticed is that the drinks are too sweet. I customized my pineapple green tea to be less sweet but it was still too sweet. I am willing to come back to check out other teas on the menu but I also know there are other options in the town center. read more

I had a great experience at this particular Sharetea location. I ordered the milk tea with pearls blended drink, which is pretty much a milk tea icy with boba. I asked for 50% sweetness level and the staff member said he would try his best because reduced sweetness for blended drinks can be too diluted and lose its flavor, or so he says. I appreciated the communication and effort. My drink was delicious! Overall, great experience, but there's no wi-fi. All major credit cards accepted. 10% off with a Yelp check in. read more

This is by far my favorite sharetea location. I know all sharetea have the same recipe, but for some reasons the drink here always taste better than other locations. I love that they have friendly service. Never have to wait longer than 5 minutes for my drink. QQ happy family is my favorite drink here. It comes with 5 or 6 toppings such as baby boba, regular boba, red bean, lychee jelly, and 2 kind of puddings. Every sip is filled with goodness. I love it! read more

Located in the plaza off Bristol and Sunflower in Santa Ana. Lots of parking since it's shared with the other businesses in the plaza. This place is nice a few tables inside and tables outside. Staff is friendly and pretty fast in making the drink especially when not crowded. I got the mango passion fruit green tea which was good but a little too sweet I should have asked for half sweet. They have a good amount of choices of fruit teas and milk teas. Overall I liked it and will definitely come back or visit other locations. read more

I have stopped by now 4x and can say the first time I came I was not a fan. I then spoke to a friend that said they have gotten better since opening up. I decided to try it the 2nd time after having dinner with my Gfs (same friends was with me when we first gave them a try). 2nd time I was impressed and so were my Taiwanese friends. 3rd time we liked it even more than the 2nd time. 4th time as just recently and we are totally fans. Check-in folks so you get a 10% off making your teas/drinks only $3.85, that's a great deal compared to other Tea/Boba Houses. Their cups are taller so it's definitely more "Bang for your Buck!!!" They also have a "Share Card" so you can get it punched and get a free Tea/Boba/Drink after 10 punches. It gets stamped FAST if you come with a group! 01. Mango Green Tea (Half Sweet) - $3.75 - 4 Stars - Really good with Mini Bobas. Half sweet is perfect and their Bobas are so soft and yummy. Your jaw will not be in pain here. 02. Mango/Passion Fruit Green Tea (Half Sweet) - $4.25 - 4 Stars - I love this combo and it's really better than other Tea Houses. So REFRESHING!!! 03. Classic Milk Tea w/ Mini Bobas - $3.50 - 4 Stars - Not bitter or too sweet, just perfect! 04. Hawaii Fruit Green Tea - $4.25 - 3 Stars - Not our FAVE one but had to try it. It has Orange Juice, Grapefruit and Pineapple so it's a little Bitter for us. If you like Bitter tasting teas, you will like this one. 05. Kiwi Strawberry Aiyu - $4.25 - 4 Stars - REFRESHING...we like this one (Half Sweet) though! CUSTOMER SERVICE - Friendly and Nice Team. PRICES - Great and even better when you CHECK-IN on YELP!!! LOCATION -Underneath the 2 Floor Plaza PARKING - Lots of parking in that area VERDICT - I'm an ADDICT now...I can go on my way to work or on my way home!!! No need to head to Irvine or Westminster/Garden Grove for my Tea FIX. read more

Yaaaaas, a location closer to home! I don't have to drive to Fullerton or Cerritos to get my Sharetea fix anymore! I like that their drinks are customizable and they ask you if you'd like to adjust the sweetness or ice level. The drinks run for about $4 and they only come in one size. Add ons are $.50 and you can even add ice cream to your drink! The pearl drinks come with boba; no extra fee for your boba! I've tried the Hokkaido and the Okinawa and they're both solid. What keeps me coming back though, is the mango green tea creama! So unique and yumm. I can't find this drink anywhere else soo.. I'm just happy they opened a location closer to me! You cut the lid at the top so when you take a sip, you get some creama and some tea :) when I get bored of drinking it this way, I'll just mix it up and it makes it creamy and gives it a new taste. Ask for a stamp card & check in for 10℅ off! read more

One of my favorite boba spots! Fast service, consistently good tea and fresh boba. I came here after work all the time when I worked in the area. The outside sitting area is nice and shady. Usually smells a little bit weird outside for some reason but that's not their fault haha. Mango green tea with boba was my go to! I usually get it half sweetened. read more

They said they have no idea if any of their teas are vegetarian. Lol like what, you don't know if what you serve contains animal product?

Good selection of drinks whenever your in the area. Have a go at it at least once. 1 thing to consider, if your ordering a drink with beans in it, cannot suck it with a straw!! read more

Sharetea - Strawberry lychee ice cream blended and Green matcha red bean with ice cream - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Came here with a couple of people. The service here is generally slow, but the employees are nice. Me and my bf ordered the Oolong milk tea and the Wintermelon green tea with whole milk, 75% sweet. LOCATION: The location of this place is in a nice little plaza! There's plenty of seating inside and out. The decoration inside has a modern take which I like, with the grey cement wall wallpaper, which makes the place look a more spacious. The parking lot is pretty big, so it shouldn't be hard to find a parking spot. DRINKS: So for the Oolong milk tea, it was very watered down and barely had any flavor of Oolong, unfortunately. I like my drink tasting like the actual tea, but the tea flavor didn't even pop out. For my bf's drink, usually at the sharetea Cerritos location, they are able to make our drink perfectly with the right amount of sweetness, but for this location, the cashier said that they were unable to make our drink 75% sweet and had to adjust the syrup instead. When we got the drink, it tasted like straight up milk. Just milk, with a hint of Winter-melon. OVERALL: Although this store is in a great location, the drinks aren't made that great in my opinion. Everything was watered down and milky, sadly. As an overall rating, I would give this a 3/10 as a recommendation to coming here. read more

I wanted to try Sharetea since I heard about it in Fullerton, but luckily it came to me near my workplace so yay! It's currently in its soft opening I think so they only accept cash at the moment. It's located in the plaza directly across Sears near Euro Caffe and Yogurtland. The interior was spacious and seemed a bit bland which I think is why it's just their soft opening. Their menu is extensive with an average price of $4 and add-ons are $0.50 each. I recommend getting any of the Pearl Milk Teas because they come with pearls (boba) so you don't have to pay an extra $0.50 unless u want more. I first got their Okinawa Pearl Milk Tea here due to my coworker suggesting it and it was actually pretty good. I decided to be spontaneous and add ice cream (vanilla) into the drink for $0.50! The drinks were made quickly and they also give you stamp cards. The drink sweetness and ice level are adjustable with no cost which is great because I don't like a lot of ice in my drinks. The drinks are one size which looks equivalent to a Large so that's another perk. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Oolong milk tea with mini pearls. 100% sugar was kind of on the sweeter side but after the ice melted it wasn't too bad. Tea flavour is strong. 5/5. read more

Guy with tattoo wearing glasses who took cusorder and was very rude. Bad customer service. UPDATE: when to the store today and the two girls working was very nice and provided great customer service. This was on 6-5-2020 at 4:45pm. Drink was awesome!! Thank you!! read more

Their boba was so delicious. I got the oolong milk tea and ugh! SO GGOD. the place is so calming and warm. will def be coming back. They treated me so well and I'm so excited to be served by them again soon! read more

Zero star!!! Worse customer service ever! Been to this location many times and never had any issue until today. Heidi was extremely rude and disrespectful. I asked for management and was told by Guadalupe that manager comes in and out and does not have a set schedule. Will never come here again. read more

This is one my favorite places to get my milk tea fix in Orange County. I like it because I am able to adjust the sweetness in all the drinks. My go-to drink is Earl Grey with fresh milk. It's light and refreshing. If Earl Grey is not your thing, they have other drinks. They have a wide selection of drinks. Another drink that I like to get is the Hawaii Fruit Tea, I recommend getting it with 50% (or 30%) sugar as the combination of all the fruits in the tea make it very sweet. If you are by South Coast Plaza, I highly recommend coming to get a drink at Sharetea before you go shopping at South Coast Plaza. read more

I rate this place a 3 stars because unfortunately very sad that they don't give you a bag when you order one drink. I totally understand their rules but sometimes it can be an exception because I'm holding a 20lbs baby with my cc and keys on my other hand. A single bag to hold my boba would help me a lot esp on this hot weather. I was struggling opening the door on my way out! Also struggling getting into my car. But on the plus side, my milk tea was good. read more

They were very rude to me when I walked in. I ordered a regular milk tea with oolong tea. No ice. No sweet. Mini pearl boba and they made it seem like it was the most difficult order in the world. The server looked at me and had the cup in her hand. She called me so I reached for the cup and she said that I need to walk around to pick up my drink. I don't understand why she would hold my drink as if she's going to give it to me to then make me walk around. I asked for a napkin and she told me that there was a limit to napkins I can take. There is no excuse for the way I was treated. Do not recommend this place at all. read more

If you want good customer service it's better to go in the afternoons when Mary or Luna ain't there those girl are very rude and have very poor customers service it seems they get them mad when I ask for extra boba although I'm paying for it already. Just better going when the boss it there. read more

This Sharetea is average compared to the other locations I have been to in Fountain Valley, Irvine and Cerritos. Since they aren't the best in quality, the lines are super short and your drinks are ready pretty quickly. They also don't always make your drinks consistently here either. I would only come here out of convenience or if you happen to be in the area and wants an acceptable quality for milk tea. It is in a good location close to Southcoast plaza. read more

If you're a boba lover like me, this is the place to try the many different (and really delicious) varieties of boba drinks. I'm a big fan of more non-milk based fruity teas and I initially went for those types my first time there like the Hawai'i Fruit Tea, but after multiple visits, I've definitely grown to expand my horizons on the menu like the Hokkaido Pearl Milk Tea I got the time I wrote this review. They do a great job with making higher quality boba compared to almost every other boba shop around the area, which definitely gets me coming back as much as I can to try out the whole menu (without burning my wallet out...). read more

Went in for boba on a rainy night. As soon as my son opened the door to step inside, he slipped and fell down. There was a caution sign but it was near the register. The floor was extremely slippery and I think they should have put the sign right at or near the door. By the time we saw that sign, he had already slipped! No one bothered asking if he was ok or not. The lady at the register wasn't very friendly either. I requested my drink to be 80% sweet but tasted more like 20% sweet. My milk tea was lacking the tea taste. Definitely not up to the Sharetea standard. read more

I havent come to Sharetea in forever. I've been to several tea shops since I last came here so I didnt know what to expect. I went with the Hawaii Fruit tea with aiyu jelly. I loved the idea of the combination of fruits. This one had passionfruit, lemon, and maybe strawberry? Whatever the combination, it was a really good mix. The tea also came in pretty strong. It tasted like a green tea, but im not 100% sure. It also came with aiyu jelly which didnt have a whole lot of flavor. I asked for this to be slightly sweet and less ice. The less ice was nice, but the slightly sweet was....SWEET. Like i cant imagine this drink with full sweetness. Maybe some people like it, but i think they need to tone it down. Also the drink was $5.50, which was steep for a drink that didnt even have boba. Overall, sharetea is definitely one of the better chains out there, but i just dont love boba or fruit tea to continue to come back. read more

Sharetea - Hawaii Fruit Tea with Aiyu Jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

i'm impressed by the quality of the milk pudding they served here! i think coming into sharetea, i had low expectations because i heard good and bad things about the bubble tea here. i ordered the winter melon with milk and the milk pudding as a topping, light ice and 70% sugar. i was genuinely impressed, since i was just craving bubble tea and it showed up near the area where my friend and i was at. my friend was desperately looking for a bathroom, and they had one so it was convenient as well. the reason why i gave a four star was because the smell of bleach was pungent, but overall, i liked the drinks. there were the various options of bubble tea, and the price range is reasonable. will definitely come back again if i'm around the area and is craving bubble tea! read more

Sharetea - Wintermelon with Fresh Milk plus Milk Pudding - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

This place is pretty consistent. It's been my go to boba place for a couple of months now. I love that they have mini boba! That was a main selling point for me. I recommend checking this spot out (: read more

They have a great menu selection filled with unique tea drinks. The coffee crema is one of my faves because of the frothy crema they top it off with. That stuff is gooood! I could drink a whole cup of that. *UPDATE* Oh no!! They got rid of the coffee crema and the cream froth topping. So I found out the creama is a separate topping now on the classic coffee. Back to 5 stars! read more

Sharetea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

This place has become my go-to boba stop! I basically come here every day on the weekends. The people who work here better recognize me by now... My go-to drink is Oolong milk tea. I love the toasty flavor of Oolong. The other milk teas are really good too! I recently discovered the Fresh Oolong milk tea which is made with milk instead of non-dairy creamer. The fresh milk tea taste is lighter and has a less creamy taste. I'm not sure if I prefer the normal non-dairy creamer or the fresh milk version... I guess it would depend on what I feel like that day. The fruit teas are delicious but make sure you ask for no added sugar because the fruit syrups are sweet already. I like how the with the fruit teas you get little bits of fruit at the bottom so it tastes more fresh! When I'm feeling sick, I always come to Sharetea for the hot ginger tea. It makes me feel better every time and gets my sweat glands working! Sometimes it gets pretty crowded and the lines get pretty long but the drinks always come out quick. Remember to check in every time you're here to get 10% off! read more

Sharetea is a chain, and one that I think is pretty good. Yes, they do use powder instead of fresh, brewed tea. But at least the tea flavor is good unlike other places where the tea flavor is barely there. They only have one size for drinks, which is more like a large at other places. The price for what you get is also slightly better (think Tapioca Express). I usually get the milk teas and have also tried the matcha red bean milk tea. The QQ family tea flavor wasn't my favorite although I do love toppings in my drinks. My go-to drinks are classic green milk tea, handmade taro milk tea, milk teas with fresh milk, and add-ins pudding, grass jelly, aloe vera. I've tried to call in orders for pick-up before, but they never pick up. I also wish they would open earlier. read more

Sharetea - Menu as of Jan 2018 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santa Ana, California

First time here and was pleasantly surprised! Happy I found a good boba place walking distance of where I live. There is only one large serving size so I will probably only come here if I am sharing a drink with my husband. But that's usually the case! It was a hot summer day so I definitely wanted an ice blended drink. I was disappointed there was no Matcha green tea flavor but there was a taro ice blended so I ordered that. I liked how you could customize the sweetness! Usually these drinks are way too sugary so I only ordered 30% sugar and it was still very good! The taro flavor was very good. I highly recommend this flavor! I got a rewards punch card that I will most definitely use so that is also a nice plus! I may try a different ratio of ice to drink next time. You can also customize that as well! It was a hot day so the cold ice hit the spot :-) read more

Discount with Yelp check in, skillfully brewed tea, accurate order taking, good texture & sweetness on their boba, courteous employees, fair prices, loyalty stamp card, ample amount of parking, good hours, drink filled to the top... I really can't think of anything bad to say about this place! As someone who used to drink boba tea at least 3x/week from all over the county, state and even outside of the country, I'd have to say I have high boba standards and Sharetea meets those expectations! Recommendations: - Classic green tea with boba, no ice, 70% sweetness (for the purist tea drinker) - Hawaii fruit tea with aiyu jelly, boba, no ice (for someone preferring sweet, fruity drinks) read more

I've been to Sharetea many times and it's quickly become one of my favorite boba shops! Consistency is key for me and I've never had a bad drink at Sharetea (yet). We generally go about an hour before closing and they're always crowded. But we never have to wait too long for our drinks which I really appreciate! They only have one size for their drink and it's a large size so you can actually share your drink if you want. My favorite drink to get here is definitely QQ Happy Family. This is just their regular milk tea with 5 random toppings. They allow you to choose 2 toppings that you want and you can always tell them what to avoid. I tried red beans in my drink for the first time because of QQ Happy Family! I've also enjoyed their Hokkaido Milk Tea, Kiwi Fruit Tea, Almond Milk Tea...basically I've tried a bunch of them. Their boba is always on point and I love their pudding. The only topping that I don't like is their taro mochi. That really fell flat for me because of the texture. Very mushy and slimy. I wish Sharetea was a little closer to me! But they're located right across the street from South Coast Plaza so it's convenient for us to drop by after shopping. Their prices are pretty reasonable too considering the size of their drinks. We'll be back for sure since we're addicted to boba and as long as they keep their quality up! 4/5 read more

What is all the type about?! This location was super busy and crowded! We were having lunch next door at Bella Cuba and were eating lunch outside with KL and people just kept coming! After we ate, we went inside and ordered. First off, this music is WAY too LOUD!! How can the girl at the counter even hear people's order and get the right?! Second, we noticed that there aren't many dairy alternatives! When we asked the girl at the counter, she seemed so unsure and said the only thing they had was the fresh milk teas (made with whole milk) That was not too assuring for us and my sister wasn't able to order a drink (she's doing the keto diet and she can have almond milk as her dairy). I went for their Thai iced tea. We waited a few minutes and the lines kept coming. I did notice the girl who was taking orders had an attitude for sure. An employee asked her about the volume of the music and she had a snarky reply. Got my drink and we split like bananas! When I tasted my drink, it was very thick and unappealing. It didn't taste like a legit Thai iced tea. Overall, the drinks are lacking and so is the service. It's a one and done for us! -__- read more

One of my favorite boba places! I love how you can customize your drinks- I usually get mine 30 percent sweet and it still is plenty sweet They don't have a huge variety but my standby, jasmine milk tea with boba, is well done. I haven't tried their macarons but they look delicious. I will definitely return! read more

Sharetea is a cool little joint. A little pricier than let's say 7 Leaves, but whatever... but I tried ordering a couple drinks through Yelp today, and my order said it had not yet been verified with the restaurant and to contact customer service. I don't know if it's a GrubHub customer service or a Yelp customer service since it's an order through Yelp via GrubHub, but regardless the customer service guy who answered my call called Sharetea and told me that they weren't accepting orders through them today. Naturally I asked him if he could cancel my order or reimburse me since I had already paid, and he said "yes, have a nice day" (as if he was about to end the call) so I immediately said, "wait, did you do it already, when can I expect to be reimburse?" He bit back - "YEEES, uhhhh I'm sending you a text right now telling you your orders been canceled okay?" - Well d!ck, my bad Jesus! It's not my fault you're not informative or professional... if you don't like your job then quit, don't take it out on me. Your job after all is Customer Service!! For F@cks sake! People like that guy make me rant to backhand customer service reps. It's not as if I was requesting anything special... just a simple verification of if the order has been canceled and when to expect being reimbursed, furthermore I shouldn't have had to ask for that info, he should've given it to me. So, aside from attempting to order Sharetea via GrubHub or Yelp or whoever, the establishment is pretty cool, but if we're going to be charged a lot more for ordering, the least the middle man can do is provide service to its customers that don't make the customers never want to order from them again. That's just stupid.gh read more

This is one of my favorite boba places, especially because the menu constantly has new things to try! I feel like Sharetea's best drinks are their fruity ones, which is why my favorite drink is probably the Hawaiian one. I'm never dissapointed with my choice to go here. Their blends are pretty good too and cute might I add. I would say that the lines are generally short, the waiting time is decent, and the staff is always welcoming. read more

Unfortunately, Sharetea wasn't as tasty as I'd hoped! I've visited twice and both times let me down. Today's visit was really disappointing. I ordered black milk tea with boba and no adjustments which is what I always order at boba shops. It was SO watered down and didn't really have a tea taste to it. However, the boba was nice and chewy. I'm sad that I wasted $4. I came here to kill time because I had to be nearby in an hour. I brought my laptop, but the tables do not have any nearby plug outlets. The chairs are also the high, metal chairs that are uncomfortable. Maybe they don't want people doing work, studying, or hanging out so if that's what you're coming here for - DON'T! Unless you have a portable charger and your butt is comfy in those metal chairs. I regretted coming here because my drink lacked flavor and I couldn't get any work done. I was not offered a stamp card, but the guests after me were offered. Maybe they forgot? It doesn't matter because I won't be coming back anyways. read more
