Plaza is a bit small so parking could be tough at peak hours. First thing I noticed coming in is the layout which I absolutely love. There is seating outside the main entrance and two seating areas within. There's a tatami-like area where you take off your shoes to sit down, could be a bit smelly though at times with lots of people. I see lots of people studying or working. This was a great place to catch up with friends and to just hangout. You order on a kiosk and they will call your order when it's ready. I got the combo with the popcorn chicken and milk tea. Loved the popcorn chicken it was crispy and flavorful although a bit pricey. The milk tea tasted like a classic milk tea and a bit on the roasted side. I wasn't aware that it came with grass jelly already and was pleasantly surprised. read more

Love the food, service, and vibes of this place! Something that makes this place unique is the designated floor seating area which is perfect to kick it & chill with friends. I do wish that the music was turned down a bit just because it was hard to have a conversation without feeling like I was talking really loudly read more

Came here for a second time and all I can say is just ordered at kiosk and wait till it's made for you. Here the drinks they make is very good and the boba taste fresh as well. Service here is ok. You don't get greeted on. Here they put your drink there and then you just check from the counter if it's made or not. They get pretty busy and they don't make any eye contact or get greeted on as well. Not sure if they call the number or not.. ambience here is ok .. They can get really busy but they can make the drink pretty fast. read more

I have super fond memories of this place. I used to come here all the time back when I was a student, and I haven't really been back since I moved home, so I hadn't had the chance to stop by again. I went this time with friends, and one person in the group used to come here with me all the time. We decided it would be a good choice to grab some drinks and just chill. I also wanted to note that they only take cards, so leave the cash at home! It definitely has a small parking lot and limited seating, so keep that in mind if you're planning to stay for a bit. You might arrive and find no seats since it seems like a popular spot to study and hang out. When we went, all the seats were filled, and we were lucky enough to snag a spot. Just as we were debating whether to leave and find somewhere else, a group had just left, so we quickly made our way to the table. I'd also say that all the trash bins were full--completely topped off with trash. The cans were filled to the brim, and people were basically playing Tetris trying to stack their trash on top. The drinks were about the same as I remember--still a bit sweet, but good and a solid choice, especially when studying. I typically get my drinks around 50-60% sweetness since the normal 100% is too much for me, but if you're a fan of super sweet drinks, this place might be for you. Definitely a decent spot; the drinks are some of the cheapest around, and it's open late, which is a nice bonus. read more

Normally just come for the hot foods. Fried tofu, popcorn chicken, and mozzarella sticks are all our go to's. Fried tofu was surprisingly good especially with the spicy power. Popcorn chicken is solid but I have gotten it many times and it can definitely be a hit or miss. Mozzarella sticks seem like just some frozen ones they fry but hey I still love it. The drinks were not memorable but I did spill mine and they were kind enough to replace it for me. Thanks again! Lots of space inside to study and there's wifi but it gets filled and people hardly leave (because they are studying). read more

Summerfield is a classic place. You cannot go wrong with any of their milk teas or their fruit teas; I think they're equally very good. I personally really enjoy their oolong tea here, and every one of their fruit drinks is very good and reasonably priced; I would recommend keeping the basil seeds that they offer for the fruit drinks, I think it adds a fun and flavorless texture to the drink just in case you don't want to sip just straight tea. Additionally, if you're looking at their food menu for a snack, I would recommend their mozz sticks or the popcorn chicken. The mozzarella sticks are so simple, but holy cow do they have a crazy cheese pull. SO good. Their popcorn chicken is also basic and classic but also very good and packs good flavor. Ordering here is very easy, and your drinks always come out super fast. This place is also very good to study at; their outlets are accessible, and the interior is very cozy. I will say it gets packed pretty easily, and the study spots are usually filled up heh but I would love to try sitting on their floor seats it looks so fun read more

This small but cozy little tea spot is nestled in a shared parking lot, and easy to miss if you aren't looking for it! But what a treat it was to find this while I was working nearby. I had no trouble grabbing a close parking spot. Upon entering, I was met with a quiet and cozy spot with warm wood tones and plenty of seating. A couple groups of people were enjoying their drinks and studying or working. There are bar-height tables, regular tables for groups, and shorter floor seating tables, I imagine like more traditional seating in places like Japan. I placed my order at a kiosk; there was no line so I walked straight up. I ordered the roasted oolong milk tea, which comes with boba. My drink was ready after just a few minutes, and the staff who handed it to me were friendly. Other than receiving my drink, there was no staff interaction. The drink was perfect and well balanced! I like to reduce sweetness on my drinks so I ordered this one 75% sweet and it was just right. The boba was soft and chewy and there was plenty of it. Their seasonal drinks look interesting! I almost grabbed one of those but I like to judge a place by one of my usual orders so a classic milk tea is a great start. read more

LOVE their autumn bloom drinks bc i like decaf options HATE that their music is loud, and cannot be lowered (per store policy, according to their floor staff-- i don't blame them because i know it's not up to them to decide). because of the music volume, it's never a place i will ever study or cowork at read more

Trying the seasonal drinks and love it! Drinks are fresh and also love their snacks too. I had: 1. Wintermelon milk tea 2. Matcha colada 3. Lunaria milk tea 4. Spooky latte 5. Mint choco frost 6. Sunset tea read more

The concept is so interesting with the floor seating. Extremely popular late night study and hang out spot so dont expect available seating. The drinks are pretty decent, not anything special or high quality but also not chain quality. I like that they have a bubble tea with both toppings. Around omomo pricing. (Mid tier). The 75% sweet is quite sweet and the fruity slush drinks are on the concentrated side so recommend.less sweet. Kiosk order available, tight parking read more

Steep Thoughts: Florence's Quest for (Her) Perfect Black Milk Tea Black milk tea: 1/2. I got the Original Milk Tea, 50% sweet. Boba and grass jelly are included by default, which is nice if you like those toppings, but I prefer no toppings in my drink, so I asked for them to be removed. This drink has a fruity, grassy, somewhat astringent flavor. Despite using non-dairy creamer, it's not particularly creamy. It is appropriately sweet for 50%. Other drinks: 1/1. There's a good variety of tea drinks, including matcha, and some blended snow drinks. Some Taiwan street food-style snacks are also available. Ambiance: 1/1. One of the larger boba shops in the area, with plenty of seating at booths and longer tables. There's even an area with short tables where you take off your shoes and sit on the floor if that's your preference. Free WiFi with purchase (password is on the bottom of the receipt). Great place to work! Service: 1/1. Order at a digital kiosk or at the counter. Drinks come out lightning fast. Total: 4/5 read more

Stopped by around noon and noticed it was busier than usual,, likely with students back and using the space to study. The Lunaria Milk Tea with honey boba was surprisingly unique (think root beer without the carbonation), and the Spooky Latte had a cozy chai-pumpkin spice flavor with a creamy, floral touch. They forgot the boba at first, but the staff fixed it right away without any hassle. The Extra Spicy House Fries weren't actually spicy, but packed with flavor, and the Popcorn Chicken paired perfectly with the sweet & sour sauce. Some things to note: the number they call in-store doesn't match the one from your online order, so keep an eye on the counter. Another thing was when ordering through the app, the tea and chicken combo didn't have an option to add sauce. Not sure why it was a bit different than the kiosk in store. read more

Summerfield is always a good spot to visit whenever you're in need of a quick boba fix! Think this deal might've been limited but we did the BOGO Basics, where you get buy one, get one free of a basic drink (we got the Thai Orange drinks for only $6) -- so good! I also got the Brown Bear Boba because it used to be my favorite. This time around though, it was kind of too milky and the brown sugar flavor wasn't really coming through. Service was good. We ordered online for pickup, so it was just grab and go. The inside feels very home-y, and you can always expect students to be in there studying. The parking lot is also tight since it's in a small plaza, so it may be a struggle to find a spot. read more

Food and drink was awesome and the service was quick. However the music was so loud it was simply unreasonable - enough to knock off three stars. A lot of other reviews say similar things about the music and have replies from the owner saying that they're going to fix it... lies Maybe if the staff has to scream order numbers and aren't allowed to adjust the volume even when asked, it's too loud. read more

I came here during happy hour and got their deal for buy one get the other drink for $2. which only applies to fresh teas and milk teas. We got the Tropical Beach, Seaside, and Sunset drinks. Our drinks came out in about 10 minutes which wasn't bad since we had 8 drinks total. Tropical Beach (3/5) - The drink was sweet enough at 70% and came with lychee jelly. However, the strawberry flavor wasn't very prominent making the entire drink taste a little watered down overall. Sunset (2/5) - This drink was pretty disappointing and also tasted watered down at 70% sweetness. I think having the base as green tea would've made the drink better since the black tea overpowered the other flavors. It came with crystal boba, aloe vera, and basil seeds though so that was nice. Seaside (4/5) - This was probably the best drink of the ones we got. The pineapple was most prominent and there was a good balance between the tea and fruit flavors. The drink also came with crystal boba, lychee jelly, and basil seeds. There is an option to order online (Toast app) as well as a drive through making it super convenient to place your order. The store overall is decorated really nice and modern and there's plenty of seating. The drinks are pretty consistent between this location and their Santa Ana location however the drinks taste premade but still a good option to have in the area. Their milk teas are better in my opinion. read more

Boba for breakfast? Yes, please! Whoever came up with the idea to open earlier deserves a raise. It's quite rare for boba shops to open earlier than 11 AM which is annoying, to be honest. My sister and I are definitely using this place to study from now on. The menu offers a decent range of drink options as well as light food options. * Lychee Green Tea: 9/10 - light flavor and comes with chia seeds * Passionfruit Green Tea: 8/10- sweet and tart * Honey Boba (Topping): 7/10 - soft and chewy but got hard after a couple of hours The interior is pretty spacious and they have a decent amount of seating. The only downside about the shop is that they're located in a tiny plaza with limited parking. I have no idea what it'd look like at peak hours so try your best to carpool if you plan on meeting friends! Our favorite part was that they had boba ready early in the morning -- which never happens. Usually, boba shops don't have boba cooked until about 30 minutes after they open so we were impressed. The employees were also so friendly and welcoming which made our experience that much more enjoyable! We'll be stopping by more often! :) read more

So I wanna say first off the star off is all because of the lack of parking rather than the quality of the area itself. Finding parking is virtually impossible most of the time. The area is very cozy. They have a couple tables to sit chairs are OK but not super comfortable. There's a lot of people there to study, which is awesome and then there is also a place where you can sit on the ground and just hang out. For lack of better ways, Asian style? I love that the food comes out fresh and is always crispy. My favorite is either fries or mozzarella sticks. My boyfriend's favorite is the crispy tofu or the popcorn chicken. It's also awesome that they have combos where you can get food and a drink! This is one of my boyfriend's favorite place to get drinks and we usually order ahead and just pick up and go since it's parking is crazy still The service here is pretty decent. I haven't really had a lot of interaction. There was one person that was really happy and they were like singing and dancing and it was just a great time. I'm sure their service is also amazing. I just never get the chance to really interact to know. Also note they have a kiosk to order so that's also another reason that you may not interact with the service person as much. read more

Food and service has went down. I ordered 3 drinks from them and it was very watered down. The mozzarella sticks were also cold. I used to really like this place as it was one of my favorite Boba place but the customer service and quality really went downhill. I tried to reached out several times in regards to my order but no luck... Hopefully, maybe someone will get back to me. read more

I've had boba here a couple times, it's a great study spot. Be aware it's always full, which goes to show that the drinks here are great but also because people just linger here with their laptops so expect to wait for a seat. It also feels really stuffy but that's my opinion. They don't accept cash so make sure you're prepared with card. The drinks are good, i have to be honest, they're pricey and average tasting but nonetheless, pretty good. I recommend this to someone that wants a chill place and a drink but not for someone just looking for a quick affordable drink lol. read more

Great place for studying and yummy drinks! It definitely can get packed though so you just have to hope you get lucky if you're trying to sit there. Service is pretty fast and prices are about average for a boba shop. I got the sunset tea and it was so refreshing and I couldn't put it down. I also ended up getting the crispy tofu as I got the study munchies and that was such a good decision. I'm writing this review a day later, and I miss the tofu! I will definitely be going back if I get the chance :) read more

This boba tea place was a miss for our group. The ambiance is non existent here lol as you'll see a bunch of students on their laptops quietly looking like they are studying. Kind of a boba library vibe. We tried the strawberry tornado and taro boba drinks here. The service was surprisingly fast (we ordered in person and not at the kiosk) but the drinks were pretty average. Not much fresh fruit or fresh taro to be had. This is a powdered drink type of place. read more

Cool study spot and boba place in Santa Ana. Parking can be a little tough but the center next has some spots. Prices were average for a boba shop, between $4-8 per drink. Each food was between $7-12. You order on a kiosk and then they call your number, fast service! The food and drinks were great, nice for your boba fix. The study spaces are plentiful and cozy. The Japanese style seating has low tables where you take your shoes off and hang. Overall, good spot, I recommend! read more

I wouldn't consider summerfield to be the best tea shop in town, but it's definitely a great study spot. It's open pretty late and has power outlets to charge. You get free wifi if you purchase a drink, and it's pretty quiet and peaceful, so the ambiance is study conducive. Drinks taste so-so... a little on the watery side, but still refreshing nonetheless. read more

I got the phoenix jasmine latte and the moonlight less sweet and both drinks had a nice strong tea flavor which I liked. I love earl grey tea so I was excited to find it on the menu, it's not a milk tea that I commonly see at boba shops. Boba was a tad too chewy but not the worst. The parking lot is tiny but luckily they had a designated parking spot where you can pull up and place a mobile order. Our drinks took a while. The interior is nice and cozy and there were a lot of people studying or doing work. read more

saw some bad reviews about this place but for my experience, the drinks were reallyy good. really good compared to other milk tea places, we ordered the uji matcha and taro. very creamy and nice taste, even with less sugar. the cheese sticks are very cheesy and interesting too. i also really liked the chicken popcorn. the place was pretty packed so it was a bit hard to find seating, but the place was nice and had lots of seating (even though it was packed). it's self service kinda (most order through the screen but they do have a counter too) but staff are still nice and would assist you if they have time. gone back here for the uji matcha already. read more

This is the 2nd location we've tried; and we like it more then the Dragonfly in Garden Grove! It's seems newer, more well lit, with cute faux vintage light fixtures. I loved their Moonlight Tea (Earl Grey with milk and grass jelly), Tropical Beach (strawberry & lychee with yummy fruit bits), and popcorn chicken. $20 for 3 items, pretty good deal for the quality. They have 3 seating opt: 1) community floor seating with no shoes allowed near fake fireplace across from register; 2) community style high chair long table top; and 3) six 4 top tables right when you enter. We arrived late at night, but the parking lot might be difficult to navigate during the day time or peak hours. Service we quick and friendly. Will be back for more tea soon. read more

This used to be one of my favorite spots for tea... I would visit 1-2 per week and spend about $20 for two drinks. For my past 2 visits, I've had negative experiences and for how much it costs, I might need to find a new boba spot. To keep it brief here was my experience: * Unless you go to the front counter and order the Matcha gon' banana, the drink usually barely tastes like banana. Instead just weak matcha. The last 2 times I've ordered this drink, it has been weak and had just a trace of banana flavor. Now that I've ordered it today with extra banana cream and boba - there is no boba * Their fruit teas are a hit and miss depending who is working. Today I ordered the aloha which has green tea. The tea was VERY weak so it tasted like water and sugar/syrups. * They do not take cash which is not the biggest deal but it is a bit inconvenient I used to really enjoy the place but they have been so inconsistent that I no longer want to play roulette. read more

this place is SO ASS. the only good thing i guess is that this place opens late but tbh other places also open late so not really that great of a plus in my opinion.. the drinks are alright i guess but it obviously doesn't stick out. there are other drink places that are way better. the one thing that REALLY stuck out to me though that i thought was OUTRAGEOUS was that I asked them to seal my drink because I ordered a drink on the kiosk and they said that they have a new policy where they're not allowed to seal drinks???? wtf???? like i ordered a different drink on the kiosk and they sealed that one though??? i don't get it this place is full of idiots... what's one seal going to do?? make them bankrupt? idefk. she said i needed to put togo SPECIFICALLY on the kiosk but that option doesn't even fucking exist. so fucking annoying don't waste your money on this place i recommend a different tea place but I don't want to advertise them since I don't work for them so feel free to comment and I'll lyk!! anyway worker told me this shitty policy and said to complain online so hopefully they change something but i doubt it :) read more

Why is the music so loud??? Are we raving or studying? They lost business from me and all my friends.

This is a good spot to study. It has a cute Japanese style tables you can sit on the floor with your shoes off or option for the regular tables. The drinks are good. The popcorn chicken was probably the highlight of the whole order. Definitely recommend the popcorn chicken. The bad, since people do study here, there is very limited parking. Correction, parking is really bad. It's a small lot. There is a reserve to go parking right in front but I have a feeling it's not really enforced since I was the only one waiting for a drink and the same car was there before and after I left. In the land where there are a lot of boba/drink places. I say the drinks are probably better at 75% sweet. The ambience is really cute and a cool place to hangout if there was more parking. A decent boba spot. Try it out for yourself. read more

I used to love this place every single weekend to study, but recently the music has been too loud and it feels like a club rather than a cafe. Whenever I come but it's been pretty hard to enjoy studying here so I hope the playlist goes back to normal volume and music that is enjoyable :( read more

The good: cute interior and friendly workers The bad: super low quality drinks. Ordered their specialty drink strawberry yogurt and the Aloha.
