The staff is really nice. The shop has both indoor and outdoor seating. Drinks and food are prepared quickly. I ordered the Peach Me Sweet Tea (75% sweet) and would rate it 5/5. I've tried many fruit teas here, and all of them were delicious and fresh. Highly recommend!

I have gone to several Tastea locations and the Santa Ana is the BEST one I've been to for several reasons!! Number 1: The boba drinks are always consistently good. I recommend the winter melon milk tea & peach lychee!! Number 2: The workers are friendly and it doesn't take long for your drinks to be ready. Number 3: There are small tables on the side and outdoor seating available. Overall, I LOVE this place. My favorite boba shop not gonna lie... whoever manages this place needs a raise. They gave out FREE drinks to everyone in my school last year and their rewards system is awesome. Looking forward to continue coming here for my usual boba drinks

Santa Ana Location: McFadden & Harbor. Tastea has been around for forever! Definitely bring back some old memories of being young again! LOL. You can also order through Tastea app and earn rewards. Mango smoothie - it was refreshing. It came pretty quick. It goes with karate chicken. Karate chicken/pop corn chicken - I probably would not order it again. It was okay but did not have the Thai Basil and flavorful marination. I prefer Thai Basil to fry together with the chicken not green as shown in picture. My first time ever order chicken snacks from here. I usually do not come around here much at night but I was in town tonight so I thought I would drop by and try my childhood boba places. The inside looked well kept and clean. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Drink/food came out fast. There are seatings inside and outside. Parking - there are plenty of parking since it is inside a shopping plaza but it gets busy with cars coming in and out.

I ordered fries on Tuesday and I asked for level 2 medium kick but it looks like they gave me level 5. I was a little upset because I didn't want that much spice and it made it 10x saltier

Food/Drink: 8/10 -Tastea is one of my go to spots when looking for boba. I got the Lychee Peachee, and it hits the spot. A bit of fruity flavor and that lychee taste. With the addition of boba... YUMMM! Service: 10/10 -I went when it was not busy, and the workers were really nice. Ambiance: 10/10 -It's a small dainty tastea in the Santa Ana area. I like the music they were playing inside. It was clean and quick.

I was so excited to find out a new Tastea location had opened up near my workplace! I was able to come in, order, and leave within 5 minutes compared to other places. I know once people find out about this new location that might change haha I ordered my go to 20 oz Peach Me Sweetea and a 32 oz Lychee Peachee both with Honey Boba. Taste just as good! The only problem with this location is that there is no food which sucks because I did come thinking I could order the Karate Chicken as well :// Christie helped me out with my order today and was so helpful! I'd say don't come to this location for now if you want food. Hope that changes in the future. Don't forget to check in for 15% off your order!!

Bootea shaker replace black jelly with lychee jelly

Ordered and was about to sit down and our drinks were already ready. I love how efficient they are. The only drink I get from Tastea is their Bootea Shaker replace black jelly with either boba or lychee jelly. It's mango, peach and pineapple tea which isn't too sweet and the combo of mango and peach is amazing. We were feeling snacky and decided to order the medium spice Buttload'a fries and medium spice Kartate chicken. Both were super yummy and had a kick of spice. The portion size for the chicken was small and I wish the pieces were bigger. The sweet chili sauce pairs well with the two. We went around 8:00pm and the parking lot was hella sus but they had a lot of seating both in and outside and were playing bops. I would just go to my local tastea.

Ordered the Ooh LaLa Smootie and it was amazing!. The peach swetea looks yummy too! First time here and wont be my last! New fav spot!

Had the opportunity to go to Tastea's Grand Opening last weekend and had a great time! Drinks: + Strawberry Milk Tea with peach bits + Peachme Sweet Tea What I love about Tastea is that their drinks are consistently quality and fresh. My all-time favorite is the strawberry milk tea which is the right balance of sweet and sugar. I love how the drink has strawberry extract that makes it outright delicious and I wasn't disappointed by today's visit! I added some peach bits for a nice chewy texture and I actually preferred it better than regular honey boba (although their signature green boba is delicious.) Next time, I'll plan to try the crystal boba. As part of the grand opening, I also received a Peachme Sweet Tea for my brother, which was a drink mixed with lychee, peaches, and sweet tea. It was a little too sweet for my taste but I can see why it's one of the more popular drinks. Service: 5/5 Parking is easy to find and locate. Service is quick and efficient - we got our drinks on 5 minutes! In addition, there's plenty of outside seating (2 tables with four chairs each) and fun, pop/hiphop music to match the ambience. It's a great spot to catch up with classmates/friends. Don't forget to check in on Yelp for a coupon. Would come here again!

Estefania S.

Absolutely shocked by the level of service! Wow Thank you Ben & staff at tastea :) you really made my day, being so kind and welcoming. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by everyone The menu was vibrant and fresh, they have their own specialty boba (honey boba) soft and delicious (they let me try) also a crystal boba that is similar to a cross between boba and jelly (amazing!) Ordered avocado smoothie w crystal jelly 10/10 Ben asked how I heard of Tastea and told him a Friend recommended and her favorite drink was the peachme tea (best seller) so he Offered to make me one on the house so that I could try it, wow! Left with two delicious drinks and a smile on my face. Can't wait for them to expand into BREA, hopefully lol Drinks 10/10 Service 12/10 Thank you !!!

By far one of the best milk teas I have had in a while, I highly recommend the "Horchata Milk Tea" me personally I added some honey boba, and let me tell you I wasn't expecting much when I went to take the first sip, but I was highly impressed at how good it was, they top it off with some Cinnamon Toast Crunch, this is easily one of the top 3 milk teas I have ever tried. I Highly Recommend it! read more

Walked in and ordered my drinks and food, after I paid I was told the kitchen is closed. The self service tap and card reader didn't work good. Other places let you know in advance what they're out of, not after you pay. Also the guy had to call his manager for my refund which I thought it would be on the spot. I understand there's different methods of refunds, I also thought i'd get a refund receipt. read more

My kiddos wanted some Tastea and I found out this location just opened this week. You can't miss it..it's located against the sidewalk along McFadden right at Harbor across from McDonald's. We were quickly acknowledged right when we walked in. Since the kids can't finish their own drinks we usually order a 20oz and have it divided into two smaller cups. They have a nicely sized patio where you can hang out at to enjoy the drinks. I ordered the Strawberry Bonanza, Horchata Crunch, the Unknown, and the Passion Attraction. Drinks came out quick and the staff was very friendly. This is definitely one of the larger Tastea locations. I'll definitely start going to this one more often. Cheers! read more

I haven't been to Tastea in a long time... I was on my way to Dunkin and remembered they closed early -_- THEN I REMEMBERED THAT TASTEA WAS RIGHT DOWN THE STREET. BEST DECISION I MADE COMING IN AT 8:09pm. KYLE. KYLE. KYLE. he definitely meets the Team Member essential duties and responsibilities. I went to Tastea's website to view their motto and overall mission, solely because I wanted to see if Kyle met said expectations. HE GREETED ME INSTANTLY, RIGHT AS I WALKED IN. it wasn't a typical GENERIC GREETING It really felt genuine, and not the kind of "Hi Welcome" I'm typically used to hearing. There was enthusiasm in his tone, instantly my mood shifted. HE PROVIDED FIRST CLASS SERVICE. As soon as I placed my order, he asked for my rewards #, he handed me a little reward scratch dollar. Within minutes my drink was ready. I had the best experience ever, I definitely want to come in again just because the service Kyle provided was so amazing. Don't get me wrong... the Vietnamese iced coffee is bomb asf... but this is about KYLE. I drink a lot of coffee, and frequent Starbucks, Dunkin, etc. and their service is BLAND. NOTHING LIKE KYLE FROM TASTEA. KYLE'S greeting and service set my expectations higher for any barista and team member ever. Thank you so much Kyle, stay cool. read more

The espresso is pre-batched and sort of had a weird bitter taste you wouldn't expect from coffee. The cream top definitely made it taste better. If they make the espresso latte base the same way without a cream top, I recommend to get a specialty drink or any drink with a cream top. It was kind of expensive for what it is. However, the service and interior outweighed my opinion on the drink, so I didn't think it deserved 4 stars for that. Definitely will come back to study again and try a different drink!!

They have indoor and outdoor seating and a bathroom available. For parking, there's a good amount of free parking in the lot. I think this cafe is known more for their coffees and I would get that next time, but I wouldn't recommend their matcha.

Airoma Cafe

Finally, I was able to try Airoma for the first time! I had the opportunity to come while in the…read morearea and the location was much better location wise compared to their previous spot. Parking, however, due to the other popular neighboring restaurants can pose a challenge. There was a line forming, but it goes by quickly and the drinks seem prebatched to save time. Even if that was the case, their drinks are amazing. My recommendations are their Double Matcha, Matcha Einspanner, and their Pandan Coffee. All are excellent choices and the sweetness level is a good ratio for me. I kept my matcha at a regular sweetness and it was perfect. Any less, the bitter taste may be too strong for me, so I enjoyed it. The service was fast, and the matcha was definitely up to my standard. I would highly recommend Airoma for your matcha and coffee fix!

I've heard great things about Airoma, so I was really happy to stumble upon here when I was…read moreordering from a restaurant in the same plaza! I came on a Monday around 11AM, and it was decently crowded, which surprised me, so I had high hopes. However, the line was short, so I didn't have to wait long. The cashier who took my order was very friendly and efficient. I got a Matcha Pandan (75% sweet). I waited around 5 mins before I received my drink. Honestly, I would give the drink 3.5 stars. What I really liked was that I could taste the pandan! I also thought 75% sweetness was perfect for me. The size of the drink was also generous for the price as I'm used to smaller sizes at other matcha cafes for the same price. However, I didn't really taste the matcha which was odd because before mixing my drink fully, I took a quick sip and definitely tasted matcha. Once I did mix it though, the matcha flavor was gone, and I mainly just tasted pandan. Overall, mainly giving Airoma 4 stars for the service and efficiency! My drink was good, but not mind-blowing. Maybe their other drinks like their coffee are better, so I'd try them again if I'm in the area.

The Strawberry Matcha Latte had fuit pieces that had a nice balance of sweet and earthy flavor of the matcha. The Banaba Cream Matcha had a creaminess with banana flavor mixed with the matcha to balance it out. The most interesting one was the Sakura Matcha, it has a soft subtle flora that wasn't so strong that it over powered the matcha. Definitely would like to try some of their other drinks.

I came in today and was served by a blonde cashier who felt cold and unfriendly. She was very bubbly and warm towards the patron (who was also a white woman) before me, who maybe seemed to be a friend or a regular. They were chatting for a bit and when it came to be my turn at the register, her face completely fell and she did not welcome me or say any greeting. Just.....silence........so I awkwardly ordered my drink. Once I said my order, she turned her head to the specials menu, and had a cold, blank expression, which made me think that it was out or that they couldn't do what I asked. I asked her if the drink I ordered was available, and there was a long pause before she dryly laughed it off and said that she didn't register what I was saying. It felt like a lame excuse and it felt so awkward; so I just tried to be as polite as possible and continued with my order. I wanted to just sit down and leave asap. It was so disorienting because she had acted in a completely different way with the girl before me. I just shrugged it off as a bad day, but when I consulted my friend about it, she said that the same girl acted in the same way towards her. And then I came here to write a review and saw that another Asian woman seemed to have a similar experience, so it doesn't just seem like a one-off thing....

Just writing this makes me want another one! However, there's one thing you do not want to miss. Their newest addition is Salt Bread.

The toasted buns on the pastrami melt gave a great texture and helped it from getting soggy. In contrast, the bulgogi sandwich was very wet and the bread felt more like a sponge at the end of my meal. The flavors were great but the sandwich itself was messy to eat. The service is great and they even gave us a cookie for each sandwich for free! It's a great place for a casual lunch. I'd definitely come back to try the other sandwiches.

I recently visited a local boba place that left a lasting impression on me, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share my experience. This delightful establishment, with its scrumptious boba creations and exceptional customer service, truly deserves a glowing recommendation. From the moment I entered, I was warmly greeted by the staff, and one particular individual stood out: Katelyn. Her infectious smile and genuine enthusiasm for her job immediately set a positive tone for my visit. Katelyn's customer service skills were beyond exemplary. She was attentive, patient, and eager to assist me in selecting the perfect boba beverage tailored to my preferences. Not only was Katelyn well-versed in their extensive menu, but she also offered personalized recommendations based on my taste preferences, which greatly impressed me. Her attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile made me feel like a valued customer. The boba itself was a pure delight. Each sip of the perfectly brewed tea combined with the chewy tapioca pearls was an explosion of flavors and textures in my mouth. The menu offered a wide variety of options, from classic milk teas to inventive fruit-infused blends, ensuring there was something for everyone. What sets this boba place apart, however, is the exceptional care and attention given to each drink. The quality of ingredients used, the precise measurements, and the skillful preparation were evident in every sip. It's clear that the staff takes immense pride in their craft, and it shines through in the final product. I left the establishment with a satisfied palate and a newfound appreciation for Katelyn's exceptional customer service. Her warm demeanor and dedication to ensuring each customer had an unforgettable experience truly elevated my visit. If you're a boba enthusiast or someone looking to explore the world of bubble tea, I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Not only will you be treated to a mouthwatering array of boba creations, but you'll also experience exceptional customer service from Katelyn and the rest of the attentive staff. Prepare to be delighted and leave with a smile on your face! read more

To start I would highly recommend their strawberry ecstasy and peach me sweet tea. I think that this place has the best fruit teas and is something you have to try when coming here.
