    This place has my heart for being so cute, cozy, clean and comfortable! Their tea is delicious and sooo refreshing on a hot day. I have never seen such a large selection of teas! This is a place where you sit down and drink your tea and chat with a friend, or work on your computer. Such nice ambiance.

    Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea, 鐵觀音奶茶
    Wendy Y.

    I got the Tie Guan Yin milk tea with boba, and it was really good. This is my fourth time coming here, and I'll definitely be back again soon. All of their drinks have a strong, rich tea flavor, which I personally love. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself is very small, more of a grab-and-go spot. There are only about two or three small tables inside, so it's not really a place to hang out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would recommend ordering online ahead of time since it can get pretty busy. That said, I was a bit disappointed with the service during my most recent visit. I received a pickup text and went to grab my order, but they told me it was still being prepared. After waiting another 5-10 minutes, I went back up only to find that my drink had already been sitting on the pickup table the whole time. The lack of organization and awareness from staff really took away from the experience.

    3Q TP Milk Tea ( Includes QQ Noodle, Boba, Coffee Jelly), 3Q TP 奶茶
    Tiffany L.

    My go-to order is the 3Q milk tea -- I love the QQ noodles and coffee jelly toppings. Such a great combo! I usually order online for pickup, and the process is always super easy. The line can get pretty long at times, so I highly recommend ordering ahead if you want to save some time. The pickup process is very convenient. I get a text notification when my order is ready, and the workers are always nice and helpful.

    The drinks were cast served and the amount put was well done. I would of liked the drink to be more bigger so I can enjoy it longer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I say the place is clean and simple to hang out with friends and to pick up and go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was glad to have gotten a chance to drop by and will buy again for the other favors.

    The new TP tea is great and servers were good. The drink I got was wintermelon tea and it tastes a bit odd. Very bittery for some reason, however I'll come back and try other drinks again!

    I've been here a couple of times and the quality is always consistent. I asked for no jelly and they let me know the drink would be short (filled to the top of the label as shown in picture), which was silly because I ordered tea. Nonetheless, the drink was still refreshing. The tieguanyin tea latte was a table favorite. The milk tea was rich and flavorful. I'd love to see a simple mango green tea on the menu.

    Strawberry smoothie
    Norma S.

    Came here on a Monday around 4pm small wait to order fairly busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Limited seating parking lot available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had kiosk too. Staff friendly. Ordered the strawberry smoothie with boba. It was sweet and refreshing. Boba was tiny but fresh. All in all good for a one time try.

    Chloe L.

    Sooooo delicious! Haven't been back for a while and this was my first time trying to drink that was not milk tea. It tasted really good even without boba and I will definitely be back!

    3Q TP Milk Tea
    Phuc T.

    TP Tea has slowly became my favorite spot to get milk tea/boba fix! Not much of a boba person anymore, but I found myself drawn to their milk tea! It reminded me of the milk tea I would get during my childhood, nothing too crazy in term of favor but super classic and fragrant! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is my second time visiting the Irvine location and I think I like it better than the Artesia location, as it is a bit more spacious and closer to me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My go to order is the 3Q TP Milk Tea with all 3 of their signature toppings. I always get my milk tea at the 30% sweetness level, which is perfect for me! The boba and qq noodles are perfectly cooked with the right chew! I visited 10 mins before the store close, which I feel bad but your boy needs to get his craving fix. The service was super fast and staff were friendly and welcoming!

    Tieguanyin milk tea with Boba and qq noodles
    Hiep L.

    Classic Taiwanese style milk teas! I love their tieguanyin tea the most. They use a higher concentration of tea for their drinks which gives it a strong and heavy tea taste. At this location there are kiosks to order off of but you can also just order at the counter. Their boba is very pleasant, no complaints. You MUST try their QQ noodles. They add a unique texture that I think you'll love.

    Lychee Cube Pearl Fruit Tea
    Peter H.

    TL;DR - top tier milk tea store in OC, can't miss with any of their drinks. Their orange milk tea was bomb but a seasonal drink. Recently released their lychee series which is also excellent! There's obviously a ton of milk tea stores throughout Orange County and a bunch of them are excellent. When it comes my definition of a top-tier milk tea store, it is TP Tea without question. I've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed in the quality of their drinks. You can't miss to be honest. My favorite drink was their orange milk tea but it was a seasonal drink. I was really REALLY sad to see it go away lol. The service here is always quick and I've never seen them mess up! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is nice. Not noisy but not silent like a library.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A lot of college students come here given the proximity of the store to UCI and OCC.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I visited yesterday and noticed they have a new Lychee series. It was really exciting for me because I'm obsessed with lychee. I got their lychee paired with our Four Season Tea and CUBE PEARL. Four Season Tea is a type of oolong. It was incredibly refreshing and I finished it before I even left the store lol. Will be coming back! Please keep this series on your menu forever!

    Seasonal 3Q TP Milk Tea delicious
    Vivan T.

    After 2+ years of hearing about QQ noodles from my boba friends in OC, I was so excited to finally get to try. Got the 3Q TP Milk Tea: Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea with boba, QQ noodle, coffee jelly. The QQ noodle mouth feel is unusual at first but it gets nicer the more you eat it. I'm a believer. I also really like the milk tea flavor and coffee jelly.

    Lychee Berry Smoothie, Black Sesame Fresh Milk, Jasmine Milk Tea
    Allyssa C.

    Came to TP Tea to try out their new lychee berry smoothie. We ordered on the kiosk and waited a few minutes for our drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is limited seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All of the drinks were subpar. The lychee berry smoothie didn't look as advertised, the strawberry was all at the bottom instead of mixed in. The lychee flavor was barely there. The black sesame fresh milk tasted like just milk with a hint of black sesame. The jasmine flavor wasn't strong in the jasmine milk tea either. TP Tea is usually consistent and good at making drinks, but we came at the last hour so they did not make the drinks well. Even so, consistency is important since there were still a lot of customers coming in when we were there.

    Ask the Community - TP Tea

    Is your tea freshly brewed from tea leaves? Or is it made from powder? And does it have additives?

    Our tea is freshly brewed from tea leaves on a daily basis. We do not use powders, and our tea does not contain any additives.

    Can I bring my personal cup?

    Unfortunately, they do follow their sanitation policies pretty strictly. So you would not be able to bring your own cup.

    Hi what milk tea can be made with no sugar?

    Just about the entire milk tea menu can be made with 0% sugar. Checkout the menu online https://order.toasttab.com/online/tp-tea-irvine-2540-main-street-ste-b

    Where can I order ahead?

    You can order with Toast Online https://order.toasttab.com/online/tp-tea-irvine-2540-main-street-ste-b or using the Toast Takeout App. We also offer third-party delivery service through DoorDash.

    Are the milk teas made with non dairy creamer? If so can they be substituted w fresh milk?

    Our milk tea is made with non-dairy creamer; however it does contain a little bit of dairy cream. Our tea latte (fresh milk tea) is made with whole milk and can also be substituted with oat milk. Thank you!

    Do they have almond milk?

    No, we currently only have oat milk. Thank you!

    I see only 2 drinks as caffeine free (honey lemon and moo my taro, is that correct? Any other caffeine free options?

    We also have the Mango Passion Smoothie that can be made without tea and Strawberry Milk Smoothie which can be found under the Smoothie section. Also, our newest drink Boba Fresh Milk Tornado can be found under the Tornado section. Thank you!

    Are there non-dairy options available? If so, is it an extra cost?

    They have oat milk as an option and it's $1 more. They also have drinks that are without dairy as well like the fruit teas.

    Can any of the milk teas are drinks? Tea made with no sugar?

    Some of the tea options you can customized your sugar level but not all of them and not exactly sure what the first part of the question really meant.

    Hi are u guys hiring?

    I saw their poster in store that says they're hiring. Probably easier to just call or walk in.

    Can we preorder drinks online?

    Yes! You can order online from Monday-Thursday on Snackpass

Jam Jam is located in Irvine, which is a perfect treat for after my cousin's math class. Although the place was noisy and very busy, we got our drinks within 5 minutes, as there were at least 5 staff members working. I love the whole design and ambiance of this boba place. White peach milk tea- (8/10) subtle peach taste, normal ice is way too much for me- ice took up half the cup!?! I will get less ice next time.

There was a short line to order, and our drinks came out just a few minutes later. I ordered my usual, the Ube Cheese Foam Slush, and it was as good as always. It's smooth, creamy, and definitely on the sweeter side, so I usually come here to get it as a dessert or smoothie rather than a traditional tea. The cheese foam adds a slightly salty finish that balances the sweetness really well. We also tried the Peach Yogurt Yakult. The Yakult flavor came through nicely, and it wasn't overly sweet. The only complaint was the peach pieces. They settled at the bottom and didn't really blend with the drink, even after stirring. If I were to order it again, but I could do without the peach bits. The shop has a good amount of seating. Most people were chatting with friends, but there were also a few people working on laptops, so it's a place where you can either hang out or get some work done. Service was friendly, and one small detail is that I always appreciate their to-go bags. They're sturdy and insulated, making carrying multiple drinks much easier. Overall, it's one of my favorite boba spots, and I'd definitely keep coming back, especially for the Ube Cheese Foam Slush.

    MISLEADING ADVERTISEMENT FOR WORLDCUP MAGNET PROMO!!!!…read more Hey Tea has a promotion stating "BUY 2 Drinks and get a random worldcup magnet" so my daughter asked that we go. I don't like bubble tea but to honor her request to get these cute little magnets we went out of our way to get some tea yesterday. When we arrived, there was a sign in the window showing the promo - NO WHERE STATING YOU HAD TO PLACE IN PERSON ORDER RATHER THAN APP. So out of convenience, although there was hardly a line when we arrived, we ordered two orders of two drinks via the app. We waited over 30 mins for those drinks. To our regrettable surprise, the girl who handed us the drinks said the magnets were only included in the orders placed in person. We said no one said that nor was it advertised anywhere otherwise we would have placed in person. WHAT DOES IT MATTER REGARDLESS? MONEY IS MONEY AND EVERYONE HAS TO WAIT IN PERSON TO PU. We asked for the magnets since we didn't know. THEY COLDLY DECLINED GIVIBG US TWO MAGNETS WHICH PROBABLY COST THEM $0.10 Each BUT COST US $25 + OVER 30 Mins AND RUINED MY DAUGHTER'S EXCITEMENT AND JOY OF RECEIVING THE WORLD CUP MAGNETS. How cold and disrespectful. First of all - very misleading and doesn't even make sense. We would never have made that trip if it weren't for that promo and you couldn't even give us two magnets? Ridiculous. While I appreciate the business manager feedback, the appropriate response would be "we apologize for the lack of communication - please come by to receive two magnets".

Order #2830 1st 2 drinks are kale juices, I was only told after my order was marked ready that they had run out of the original lids and needed to transfer the drinks to cups. While transferring one of them, the blonde female employee spilled a noticeable amount. Instead of remaking it or topping it off, she poured some from the other cup so both looked equally full. She saw that I noticed but did not acknowledge it or apologize. 3rd drink: it was made incorrectly because I had ordered the foam on the side. One staff offered to remake it, so I was fine with that. 4th drinks: My friend's longjing tea tasted like it had no sugar. Instead of trying to solve the problem, the blonde employee kept insisting the drink was made with minimal sugar. I had to tell her that we've ordered the same drink with minimal sugar many times before, and this one tasted like it had no sugar at all. Was I supposed to ask you to taste the drink yourself? Meanwhile, the staff (who previously offer to remake my drink) forcefully slammed the ice machine door. I don't know whether it was directed at us or out of frustration with a coworker. I noticed this location is currently unclaimed on Yelp, so the owner may never see this review. It's hard to believe a franchise this well known has only three stars, but after today's experience, I understand why. Anyway, you really think customers will keep coming back just because this is a popular franchise?
