Perfect Milk Tea & Chewy Boba! TP Tea is definitely one of my favorite spots for milk tea! The boba is perfectly chewy, and the milk tea has just the right flavor--creamy, smooth, and not watered down at all. Service was also super fast, which is always a bonus when you're craving boba! If you love a good milk tea with that perfect chewy boba, this place is definitely worth trying. read more

My friends from OC speak highly about TP Tea being one of the best boba shops with unique toppings. They are known for their boba noodles which you don't see often at other shops. I stopped by since I was in the area and needed a pick me up for the drive home. Service was fine. I ordered at the kiosk and said thank you to the staff; that's the most interaction that happened. I ordered the milk tea drink that had 3 toppings in it - coffee jelly, boba noodles, and regular boba. 0% sugar is a must for a drink with that many toppings, and it was the right decision. It was pretty sweet as is, so i can't imagine how it's like with more sweetener. It was a good drink overall with good tea strength and I liked the sensory experience it gave me. I probably wouldn't return to the OC locations since Arcadia just opened, but I'll most likely continue to try their other stuff. read more

Good boba tea shop near my office. Lots of selection of milk team and fruit tea. The boba has good QQ texture. Orders are taken either at the kiosk or at the front counter. Quick service for the orders that I've ordered there. They have some limited indoor seating while you wait. Decent space for hanging out to enjoy some tea. I usually take my order to go, but appreciate the space to wait for the order. My usual order is the sunshine iced tea with boba. read more

Tea was good. Not too sweet even without adjusting anything. Chewy boba. Smaller size pearls but they did put a lot in my cup. Fast service. Order either at counter or at kiosk. Plenty of parking during weekday afternoon. Not many inside seatings. More like a grab and go boba shop. read more

After lunch, we needed a pick-me-up. We went to TP Tea. We parked right in front and the service was quick. We ordered Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea x 2, 3Q TP Milk Tea (Includes QQ Noodle, Boba, Coffee Jelly), and Strawberry Milk Tea. The drinks are consistently good here. I had my Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea (Roasted Oolong Milk Tea) with coffee jelly. Next time, I want to try the lychee jelly. read more

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. read more

TP Tea - Yum! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

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. 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. 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. read more

TP Tea - Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea, 鐵觀音奶茶 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

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. read more

I drive past this TP Tea location on my way to work all the time and finally decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, my first impression wasn't great. When I walked in, there were four employees behind the counter and another customer being helped. I got in what I thought was the line and started looking over the menu. After the customer in front of me got their drink and left, I moved forward expecting to place my order next, but no one acknowledged me at all. I stood there awkwardly for several minutes while employees walked around behind the counter without saying a word. Eventually, I noticed two ordering screens mounted on the wall. Since it was my first visit, I wasn't aware that orders had to be placed there. I asked an employee, "Is that the only way to place an order?" and was simply told, "Yes, you can order there." There was no greeting, explanation, or attempt to help a first-time customer. I almost walked out because the interaction felt so unfriendly and uncomfortable, but since I was already there, I decided to order anyway. I got a Thai milk tea with boba, and it was fine, but nothing memorable or worth going out of my way for. The drink itself wasn't the issue. What really left a bad taste in my mouth was the lack of customer service and basic acknowledgment. A simple "Welcome in" or "You can order at the kiosk" would have made a huge difference. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I don't see myself returning. read more

Food****// ordered oolong with qq noodles and it's kind of too chewy for me but tea was really good. Par with cc3000 or orobae I had in the past. I'll try other toppings next time Service****// staff was friendly with greetings and provide clear instructions on adjustments Ambiance****// nice, modern and clean environment. Some benches for waiting which is nice. I will come next time for sure read more

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. I say the place is clean and simple to hang out with friends and to pick up and go. I was glad to have gotten a chance to drop by and will buy again for the other favors. read more

TP Tea - Strawberry smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I had seen some reviews about this spot, but it wasn't overly hyped on social media for me. I finally decided to drive out here on a hot day and found it nested in a small plaza with a lot of parking space and fresh air! The boba mascot could be seen from outside, making the shop stand out amongst the gray exterior. We were immediately greeted and all of our questions were answered nicely, and our order taken without hesitation. Sometimes stores direct you to the kiosk while 5 workers stand around, but here that didn't happen. There were a lot of workers though, so I can imagine it gets busy. Now the tea! I ordered the tie guan yin milk tea. It was so rich and tea forward while not coming across as watery! The strawberry milk tea was a bit too heavy for our liking, but they DO advertise it as a smoothie :). Overall, 9/10. Ig+Tiktok: socalyumiez read more

Convenient location Very quick turnaround Great service Lots of options Unfortunately, the two drinks I had were not so great. The taro milk drink was perhaps the worst I've ever had among taro drinks The blended strawberry drink was a little better, but not that impressive The Boba quality was very good though read more

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! read more

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. read more

TP Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

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! 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. 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! read more

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. read more

TP Tea - Tieguanyin milk tea with Boba and qq noodles - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

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! Ambiance is nice. Not noisy but not silent like a library. A lot of college students come here given the proximity of the store to UCI and OCC. 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! read more

TP Tea - Lychee Cube Pearl Fruit Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Favorite boba shop in Irvine! Found this place per a recommendation after Sharetea messed up their menu and never looked back! They have such a great selection of teas, and they make the best seasonal drinks as well. I'm a fruit tea person and my go-tos are 1.) Lemon Jasmine with Aiyu jelly, 2.) Fantastic fruit tea without the fruit slices and 3.) Passion fruit green tea. Topping selection is also really good. Parking is convenient because the lot is huge. Ordering is usually convenient because they use the Toast app and have screens inside you can order from. Seating inside is very limited - only 2 tables and they are usually taken due to the popularity of the place. Major complaint is that they make it really difficult to make adjustments to drinks. You can't make notes for adjustments through toast so have to order in person. Similarly their ordering system inside doesn't have notes so you have to place your order and walk up to ask for a modification. Unfortunately when they make seasonal drinks, they have preselected toppings that they don't allow you to substitute for free. When they did the Lychee tea with cube jelly, I had to pay for the cube jelly and the topping I actually wanted, then ask them to leave the cube jelly out (didn't taste good, was too big for the straw) - such a shame they would do that, you'd think they would realize people have toppings they like and be flexible about it, especially for the price of boba these days....super annoying. Overall, the staff is nice and they work quickly. There's a vibe they prefer to be making drinks rather than dealing with people due to their operating model so don't expect too much from the service. Here weekly and will continue coming in for the foreseeable future! Hoping a few improvements are made. read more

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. read more

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. There is limited seating. 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. read more

TP Tea - Lychee Rose Slushie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Hands down my favorite tea shop in all OC. Mobile ordering is super fast as well as in store on the kiosk. They are always friendly whenever I have any questions or want to order with a person. The shop is cute and although small, there's plenty of places to sit to wait for your drink or hang with a friend. Literally every drink category here is amazing. You really can't go wrong. I've tried their fruit teas, their smoothies, milk based drinks, milk teas, and all were truly phenomenal. The higher quality is noticeable and it ruined all other boba shops for me. Their boba and toppings are always fresh and they never skimp. My favorite drinks are their TGY and surprisingly their strawberry smoothie (I don't like most boba shops smoothies but the flavor is spot on and crunchy ice they use make it so good!) I always get 25% sweet and it's still sweet enough for me. read more

Was driving past Irvine recently and wanted to pick up some boba on the way, so I decided to stop at TP Tea. I've been to other locations before but it was my first time here. I ordered via their website maybe 20 minutes before arriving at the store, but surprisingly it was ready within minutes. I was able to quickly grab and go when I arrived. I was very intrigued by their new sesame line of drinks, so I got the sesame iron goddess cube pearl milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice for $6.75. I'd say it was okay but not great. As someone who really likes the black sesame flavor, you can definitely taste it in the drink but it wasn't strong enough for me personally. I think I'll stick with their regular milk teas going forward... read more

One of the only tea shops that are good in Irvine area. Most boba shops get away with bad tea by adding a lot of sugar and putting toppings inside. TP Tea actually has some good tea if you like it with 0 or little sweetness and their toppings have the texture that I look for. Overall very solid tea shop. read more

I'm getting closer! If you've been following my recent reviews, you'd know that I'm currently on the hunt to find my new boba tea store since moving to the area. Man oh man. This store has amazing soft, chewy and fresh boba! The boba is consistently the perfect size for slurping and they don't get jammed for being too large. I love how there are self serving kiosks available too! I was able to adjust the sweetness to 80% and it was perfect!! Loved all the menu options and I'm really excited to come back soon! It reminded me of Ommo but without the crazy wait. read more

My favorite boba/tea place in OC! Love that they use fresh fruit and the tea flavor is always strong in every drink. My go to from is always the mango tea with lemon aiyu jelly but I also enjoy the lychee cube pearl tea and the seasonal emerald yuzu tea. The store is on the small side and there's not much seating, but it's more of a grab and go place. On busy days, the service can take a bit long though, but it's still always my go to! read more

As someone who loves trying new boba spots, I found one that might move close to my top favorites. I ordered the black sesame and added boba and coffee jelly and was amazed at how much I loved it. The black sesame flavor is strong while the coffee jelly adds a hint of a coffee taste that mixes surprisingly well. My complaint about a lot of boba shops is if the boba is overcooked but TP Teas bobas were great consistency. Definitely saw some other drinks I wanted to try so will be sure to return. read more

Stopped by yesterday with some coworkers for a quick refreshment. This place did not disappoint. Place was in a plaza of private parking and some other food spots nearby.

TP Tea - Jasmine Green Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

OVERALL : As soon as I walked in, I smelled the tea brewing and it was so fragrant! TP tea had a variety of fruit and milk teas, as well as both classic (tapioca pearls, lychee jelly, etc) and unique toppings (like QQ noodles and cube pearls): The self order tablets with photo menu makes it easy to order, and drinks came out quickly (granted it wasn't busy). I've tried a variety of menu items from here and they never disappoint! Tea is never bitter and drinks all feel "artisan" and not like a syrup/powder mix. PARKING : Parking lot with spots right in front of the shop. I've never had an issue finding parking here; plaza isn't super busy! FOOD/DRINKS : Fantastic Fruit Tea - Pineapple Juice, Jasmine Green Tea, Apple slice, Orange slice, and Chia Seeds -- we got 80 sweet and the pineapple juice wasn't too acidic / sour. Refreshing and pleasant esp for a hot summer day! Tie Guan Yin Milk Tea - 50 sugar was still perfectly sweet! Tea flavor was strong and the drink was creamy. Super enjoyable and nostalgic for me as a classic milk tea w chewy boba pearls! read more

I had my fair shares of boba places and this one is up there on my top 10 boba places to visit in Orange County. Let's start with the service. The service is quiet and simple. You have the option to order at the kiosk or at the cashier. Keep in mind tho for any modification like removing topping that's already included in any drink just know that you can not do that at the kiosk got to make sure to let the worker know on those kind of special request for people that doesn't like toppings in their drinks. But either then that it's very convenient especially if it's busy . Next the ambiance. The ambiance gives me that chill vibes kinda feel. There are seats and tables inside where you can sit and chat with friends and family while drinking your tea. Of course it's a bit small so don't expect to have a big group of friends to be able to sit. But again very chill and of course very very clean ! Thanks for that . Lastly , the boba ! Their boba is always great for this is my I think 3rd time trying this place and all the time their teas never seem to disappoint! Every time it's always refreshing and yummy ! Both my husband and I love this place because of how simple their teas are here . All and all their teas and milk teas are chefs kiss Thank you TP Tea for amazing experience , excellent customer service and yummy tea/milk tea drinks ‍ read more

This is one of my favorite boba franchise! Not many places offer QQ noodles and coupled with coffee jelly, their taiwan classic milk tea/3Q TP Milk Tea (already comes with those 2 toppings plus regular boba) is a must. Did venture and tried their strawberry latte matcha with QQ noodles today. Even at 30% sweetness, it was still a bit sweet for me so will have to remember to order it at 0% next time. Didn't get much of the milk/latte taste, but I prefer it that way. I still think the 3Q TP Milk Tea tops this, but it was a good alternative. There's 2 kiosks in stores, but unlike other stores in the bay that uses snackpass, you can order online with DoorDash or toast tab which I recommend since there can be a wait. read more

Great service, great options, 2 large screens to order from. I like their boba a lot but I'm not in LOVE with either any of the drinks until you MIX the tornado fully then you get this lovely creamy taste. The tie guan yin tornado was the best!! This is great for boba people who like more of the tea taste. The ambiance is good here. They have 6 chairs and a bench. They should add more so that kids can hang out here. read more

4.5 to be exact. I've had this place saved on my phone for several months to try. One day I had to be in the area for some medical work so I stopped by here. I ordered 2 drinks: a safe one which was their signature boba milk tea and their pineapple Green tea since that's my favorite fruit tea flavor. The employee did warn me the pineapple tea will have a blended/icy consistency and I decided to try it anyway. On the drive home I tried the pineapple tea. Yes, it's refreshing but the only tea flavor i got was from the tea jelly. The blended pineapple was icy but it tasted more like pineapple and water. I wouldn't mind the blended consistency if the drink itself had a stronger tea flavor. 3.9 stars. For the milk tea, it saved the day. I've been wondering where I can get good milk tea and I think TP has a really solid one. They are heavy on the boba but that's okay if you like boba. They are light on ice so im glad I asked for extra ice in this drink. All in all, their milk tea was delicious and if I was nearby I would come by for it again. read more
