50 Best Bubble Tea near Brea

“This is a wonderful family-run boba shop. The owner is always super friendly. They make their drinks to order, instead of pre-mixing them like other shops. And I appreciate that I can get my drink with regular milk, instead of non-dairy creamer being the only option.“

“Had the banana cream matcha and the matcha einspanner. Both were so good. The einspanner low key tasted just like airoma. I couldn’t tell the difference. They had the best banana cream matcha I ever had. Real bananas. Perfect creaminess and texture. They also don’t up charge for different milk options. They allow u to add more matcha for free too. Def my new go to spot.“

“I don’t even know what to say other than you gottaaa be kiddinnnng me with how delicious the King Brulee on ice is…. Like wooooowwwww.. sweetest and best drink I’ve had in a long time. The quality of their boba itself.. chefs kiss 😙 too good“

“Just tried Teaspoon and it’s fantastic!“

“I’ve enjoyed all the drinks I’ve grown here. Staff has always been friendly and nice whenever I’ve gone too. Even when it’s busy, the line is still much shorter than the Irvine location. Only con is that the parking lot gets a little chaotic.“

“Pretty good! ??

We're always super wary of food court shops, but this place is way better than we expected. They offer a decent menu and the drinks are pretty well made. Compared to other boba shops, the price is adequate and the flavor is similar.

- Passionfruit Green Tea: 9/10 - nice flavor but a bit watered down
- Boba (Topping): 9/10 - good but not a full scoop

The workers were quick and the place is located in the food court of Brea Mall. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste and will definitely come back! Highly recommend!

Not bad for a place in the food court ?“

“I live about an hour and a half away from this location . I was on a road trip and stopped in just to see if they had a restroom and ended up getting food. The girl (I think her name was Krysta ? I'm sorry I wish I could remember)working the night shift on Saturday 10/25/25 was so kind and so helpful . I had never had a poki bowl before and she helped me pick out my food choices with a colossal amount of patience . It was so delicious and I have been craving it ever since I got home. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely be coming in to place another order ♥️“

“吃台灣的平民美食，有回家的感覺。“

“I was drawn to this boba shop because of its high ratings and very reasonable prices! Located inside Chubby Cattle, you don’t need to dine at the restaurant to order here.

Here’s what I tried:

Osmantheous Oolong Milk Tea with Boba (less sugar, less ice): This was fantastic! The tea-forward flavor was exactly how I like my milk tea, and the boba had just the right texture—not too chewy and not overly sweet. I’d definitely order this again.

Strawberry Oolong Tea (less sugar, less ice): A little on the sweeter side for my taste, but still a great deal at just $2.99.

To my surprise, they were running a buy-two-get-one-free special during Christmas week! The third drink that was part of the promotion was an Iced Strawberry Matcha, which was quite sweet but still a nice addition to the experience.

Overall, this spot offers great value and drinks—I’d happily return!“

“Taro Latte, and Vietnamese coffee ube foam is stellar, A grade. But Vi, the owner, is the star of the store. She made sure everyone loves their order before you leave, and will alter it if needed. The store is lovely with plenty of seating, toy machines, and anime merchandise. Will definitely be back for more.“

“I eat too much pizza and its become hobby of judging pizza independents. He said it would it would be ready in 10 minutes and it was. Pizza was amazing for the price point. Hospitality grade was beyond what I would expect from a small pizza establishment. Gentleman at the counter presented my pizza my like a fine wine ordered in a restaurant. Offered ranch at no charge. Offered cheese and peppers. Plates and napkins were provided without request. I approve of this fine establishment.“

“wonderful drinks and great service!!“

“I've been to this place many times and I really like it. It has a very thick tea flavor. They actually prepared a puppy cup for the puppy, with an egg yolk on top! I just love it so much!! The waiters were very friendly. Even though it was already past 9 p.m., they still faced every customer in a very good state. I will recommend it to everyone around me!“

“We love the owners, the Jasmine tea, pomegranate smoothie with boba and the jalapeno chicken with sweet potato fries and more🤩“

“If I hadn’t parked to walk over to Lux Spa, I probably would’ve never noticed there’s a Happy Lemon in the same plaza.

We kept it simple and ordered the E3 Lemon Aloe Yakult ($6) and E1 Green Tea Yakult ($6). I make lemon and green tea Yakult drinks at home sometimes, but somehow the ones from a shop just taste better. It honestly brought me right back to the drink stands in Taiwan. Same nostalgic flavor. I guess I just don’t buy boba and specialty drinks that often anymore because there are way too many new Asian chains opening in the U.S., and I can’t keep up.

They’re actually known for their salted cheese foam drinks and egg waffles. If we hadn’t just eaten, I definitely would’ve added one.

Service was quick and the staff was friendly. I think I just found my go-to spot when I’m craving an authentic Taiwan-style drink.

“Tenju Tea House has solid tea. A plus is they offer loyalty stamp cards! I think the 10th drink is free. There is a kiosk if you want to pay by card/tap, but you can order with the cashier too.

I thought they used to be in the 99 Ranch plaza, but I guess they moved here behind Yoshinoya. The parking lot is more tight and annoying to find parking here.

I wanted to mention that I was in communication with Peggy about catering. She showed passion and attention to detail. We ended up not booking them, but she left such an impression that I have to share it! Go hire Tenju!

-no bathroom (the one inside the nearby market is NASTY though)
-unsure about wifi
-Apple Pay accepted
-no outdoor seating
-parking lot but it sux“

“Milk foam topping on your tea ✅ Compliment your tea with a sponge cake✅. It’s all good!“

“Their rock oolong tea is really something. Smooth, slightly earthy, and just hits the right note without feeling heavy—it’s got that vibe you want when you’re taking a pause. Tbh, the place felt pretty quiet while I was there, which worked for me. Service was chill, not overly chatty but attentive enough to make you feel sorted. Not much else caught my eye, but that tea? Would defo tell my friends to try it out if they’re into oolong.“

“This is such a great place for nice little treat! Boba is amazing. I had the Thai green milk tea and it was delicious. Great customer service as well. The ladies in the back were welcoming and very helpful.
This is a nice place to come and hop on a work meeting or work on that important homework assignment. I will definitely be back again!“

“I love the strawberry yakult with aloe Vera. They even let you adjust the sweetness level and ice amount. The night shift are so sweet. Even if you’re just looking for somewhere to just sit and finish some assignments or to sit and chat it’s very cozy.“

“tried this place for the first time! I got the strawberry matcha with boba, my bf got the strawberry peach blend with popping boba and they’re SOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!! sweetest shop owner too! she even gave us the leftover smoothie from my bfs drink!!!“

“Ever since this Tea Spots (Azusa/Amar) opened my 2 daughters and I have been enjoying everything this establishment has to offer. I would suggest that most people if not all should try one time n u 2 would be hooked too. Their Milk Tea with black boba / fresh fruit smoothies, ices with fruit and can’t forget their delicious menu. They have healthy food and fried food like baked sweet potatoes fries and dinner plates also ramen bowls. They have 5$ 7$ n 9$ individual plates that are delicious. We have had most of their food and it has all been very umpslish. Try it yourself u will not be disappointed. EA“

“The lady staff is very knowledgeable about tea and patiently explained to me how the same group of black teas are different. I went at the good time, it was not too busy. Likely I will go again.
Hopefully there will be more vegetarian (snacks) menu in the near future.“

“I got the Four Seasons (a white tea) milk tea, which I think is my new favorite tea base, with 75% sweetness, large boba, regular ice, and creme brûlée pudding (I thought I would get something I don’t often see as a topping). I am so happy with this drink! Service was fast and easy, I ordered on a kiosk and the drink was called out within 5 minutes! When I mixed in the pudding and boba, the drink was super sweet (which is what I wanted, but next time I should probably get 50% or 25% sweet or not get the creme brûlée pudding, to limit myself to a more reasonable sugar intake). The boba was perfectly chewy, on the softer side, which is what I prefer, with good flavor, and there was a generous amount. The creme brûlée made the milk tea taste like vanilla ice cream and caramel were mixed in. Soooo good. Thank you for a nice dessert stop! The shop is small but very cozy with a few seating options. Side note: I was happy to hear Now or Never from High School Musical 3 playing over the speakers when I walked in. It warmed my gen z heart.

After looking at other reviews, I also wanted to add: You can order using one of 2 kiosks, or with a cashier at the register. There is also a QR code for the menu, and a printed menu near the register. The employee called out our orders when they came out.“

“Very delicious drink, my family really love brown sugar boba milk and classic milk tea here“

“I came into lollicup today looking for a drink, but what I didn't know is I would find is love and a hint of lust. The employee who armed the register was so delicious i got nervous and rode away on my scooter. She saw me fall on the cement and loose two of my front teeth. Don't worry my grandma is getting veneers and i'll be back for my true love.“

“Friendly staff + gr8 service! Funky decor + atmosphere.BUT issues which owners can consider: 1. Where’s the recycle bin? Everything is single use plastics, but there was only 1 bin for general trash for landfill.
2. Why are syrups full of artificial flavors? e.g RED40 in the strawberry!? That stuff needs a warning label in Europe but here we lap it up like a pig plunging into slop. Probably a supplier issue- but surely spend a little more and get some better quality ingredients?
I ended up with a tea, and sure enough it was sweetened… can’t get away from all the sugar. I’ll try the black tea next time- maybe that’ll be sugar free!

Keep it classy Anaheim“

“I was so surprised to find taro ball and mini taro balls here in the US-something I used to eat all the time growing up.the texture is perfectly chewy and not overly sweet.very authentic and nostalgic .highly recommended if you’re craving Taiwanese desserts“

“My new favorite boba spot in town! Super friendly service, drinks that are deliciously made without a long wait, and they happily take my reusable cups for my boba orders (I think they recognize me now lol)! I'm in Walnut about twice a month and have been stopping by Goomo for my boba cravings each time.

I'm still playing around with their menu to find my favorite drink. So far I've tried the orange green tea (50% sweet, no ice with grass jelly), passion fruit bomb, and green grape yakult and they're all good! Appreciate that they make the drinks with no syrups or artificial flavors and with actual pieces of fruit for the fruit drinks. Lately, I've been digging their jumbo cups of their classic milk tea and thai tea, both come with boba and is perfect for when you want a little more bang for your buck and just more drink overall!

My first time here I was more hungry than thirsty, so I tried their popcorn chicken, which was pretty solid. I need to come back and try their other food items on the menu.

Ordering is so easy here. Use the kiosk to select and customize your drink. Make sure to sign up for the rewards too, which also sends you a text when your order is ready. I found that after I place my order at the kiosk, I just grab their attention to ask if they can make my drink in my own cup.

Plenty of seating inside to enjoy your drinks and hang out with friends. Plenty of parking too. They are also one of the few boba shops that open until 10 pm so my friends and I come by after our evening Kiwanis meetings to grab some boba.“

“We LOVED their fried rice it was so good! Solid amount of chicken in it too. We ordered the chicken garlic noodles as well that was also tasty. The woman who took our order was so sweet she brought out all of our items to us very gingerly and also put a nice big bottle of siracha out. We wished we lived closer so we could come more often!“

“Ming Cha is such a cozy cute cafe with lots of cute decor. The cafe is small but has some seating area and some board games to play with as well. Parking is shared with other businesses but there were enough areas for parking. The staff were super friendly and on point. Had assistance with some recommendations since we were quite indecisive with our choices since there were too many good options to choose from.

Got to try:
Roasted Black Sesame
Jasmine Matcha
Omanthus Oolong Milktea
Mango White Peach!

The drinks were light, refreshing, and wasn’t too sweet; it paired well with the cream tops. Would love to try some of their other items in the future!“

“really great milk tea along of choices and Vietnamese food“

“I have been trying various milk tea places in the area to find a place that would cater milk tea for my upcoming wedding. My wife could not have the wedding without having milk tea served to the guests. My wife and I tried the champ milk tea here and decided that this place was the one. Their portions are much larger than other shops, and the tea flavor is pronounced and not covered by sugar/milk. The manager, Ryan, was super helpful in preparing our bulk order for the wedding, and it was a major hit during our wedding. Definitely come here for their various milk tea flavors, and also highly recommend their Kumquat green tea! Thank you Tea Champ!“

“Friendly staff. Summer time on a Friday afternoon is quiet. He said they get busy after school since there is a high school nearby. Drinks all good. I got my regular jasmine milk tea with boba and Crystal boba half sweet. Good size and great drink. Lots of parking. It’s not a big place. Just a few seats. Would come back. Put your number in for rewards. Buy 9 get 1 free.Pricing is awesome. 4 big drinks for $25. And 2 of us got 2 toppings!!“

“our best nights here in jin teahouse great location convenient friendly staff and best place to hangout with your friends and also great best place for dates.... its actually they good selection of food most recommended place...“

“It’s an overall clean, neat and welcoming place. The set up and interior is modern and unique, the employees are always nice and friendly. Best black milk tea I have ever had for a great price! My absolute favorite boba place!“

“Saw the ad on Facebook and coincidentally found the place today. I ordered the pineapple and strawberry drink which had yakult in it. It was such a pretty drink and very enjoyable. Fast service!“

“Not a coffee enthusiasts, but enjoys Vietnamese style coffee.
Had double banana coffee.

Solid offering. Foam being the trend right now, is subdued and subtle than other micro high end places.

Little too sweet for my liking but the bitterness of the coffee balances it out nicely.

IDK if I would go out of my way to come, but it's I'm in the neighborhood I'm dropping by.

I hope this place succeed competing against da vien and cortado.. which have been my go-to.

Best of luck to the owners.
Bonus point. Tax and fee are included.. price is what you pay! Awesome“

“Muy bien atendido y muy buenas vividas 🥰🥰🥰“

“After dinner nearby, we knew we wanted boba afterwards and purposely saved room for it! R&B Tea was on the opposite end of the plaza, which worked out as we worked off a little bit of dinner by walking here.

I ordered a jasmine green milk tea ($5.75) at 50% sweet with easy ice and boba ($0.75). Just the right amount of sugar with the right consistency for the boba. Would definitely order again (and also possibly try their matcha milk tea or roasted oolong milk tea). Post-dinner boba craving met! Thanks Tiffany for taking care of our large group order!

They have two small tables in the front and more table space in the back for hanging out and playing board games. We picked The Logo Game and learned new facts about products and logos and what not from the game. Did you know that Baskin Robbins had 31 flavors particular to cover each day of the month? I didn't, until the game. Fun times.

Plenty of parking spots in this large plaza.“

“Accidentally stumbled upon this cute place when I was lost looking for something else, lol. The interior is so cute and their menu has lots of options. The staff was very nice and patient with me and trying to figure out my adjustments.

Their boba is chewy and yummy and their lemon white peach is very refreshing! I'll definitely be back to try the bowls next time as well.“

“Stopped by after my service club's meeting for some boba. Very cozy setting inside with several seating options, plus the large patio outside. Make your way to the back to order first and then pick a spot to sit.

I got a delicious hot almond milk tea with boba and they were cool with using my reusable tumbler for the beverage! Solid drink. Too bad I was still full from dinner that I couldn't try any of their food items.

Another awesome thing is that they stay open pretty late, closing at 11 pm, which is a lot later than some of the other places around that close earlier at 9 or 10 pm. Though, if you're friends with the employees, they let you stay later (we were kicked out at 11 pm, while a group of 6 were allowed to stay).

Didn't have trouble getting parking on a weekday evening.“

“My favorite place for kumquat lemon iced tea with crystal boba. I love the vibe when you walk in is very peaceful and relaxing. They also use fresh fruits so you can taste it instead of too much syrup. Would recommend !“

“My fave place to write and edit and have a little mom's escape for an hour from work and family work. Get a cookie! I usually order an Iced Matcha with Coconut milk - creature of habit. Sometimes they make recs for me to add a flavor or something fun and I always love it!“

“Very good drink- to my expected- Flavorful and not too sweet! I’m not a big fan of boba/milk tea in general, but I think I’m starting to liking it. Thanks chị Ivy @Cha2cha ❤️❤️❤️“

“🍩 𝐌𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐢 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐧𝐮𝐭 𝐱 𝐁𝐨𝐛𝐚 🧋 𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭

“I went with my kids today. They have the cutest containers for the bobas. I got a milk carton and my daughter got a kitty. So cute!“

“even on my worst days Kawaii boba turns my day around 💓 sweetest customer service

boba flavors are always fresh

I’ve been reading some comments say they take a while but I haven’t experienced long wait times
If it is I don’t notice because it’s so yummy and you can personalize drink flavors

the kawaii dog mozzarella snack 💓💓💓 (enough said) haha 😋😋😋

I don’t get boba often
More as treat and I’m very picky so just trust me ✨✨💓💓

Also the inside is all pink 💓“

“Always great service. Dropped my boba when i got home so i went back for another and they replaced it no charge! Love being a regular ☺️“

“Visited OC and was looking for a place to chill. We found this place and tried their taro and winter melon milk tea, as well as their mango fruit tea. It wasn’t bad. The only thing is I think their AC is not working.

Parking: First come first serve“
