Boba Guys Costa Mesa

I always enjoy places with kiosks you can order at because it lets you take your time more and explore your options. There's many vegan options, and you can really customize your drinks. The area is super cute too. My boyfriend got the mango sticky rice drink with boba and oatmilk. The description stated it was vegan if you used oatmilk. Personally, I found the rice grains in the drink mixed with the boba a little weird, but he liked it. I got the espresso milk tea with boba. It tasted mostly of milk tea with the slightest hint of coffee. I'm definitely more of a coffee connoisseur, which is part of why I'm rating it 4 stars. I appreciate the many vegan options and customizations to make a drink vegan, and the boba were nice and chewy (not hard like some places I've been to). I'm just not a huge fan of milk tea fan when it comes to black tea. I'd love to come back and try their matcha or strawberry matcha with boba if I'm ever in the area again!

The Laneige Boba Special was really good! It had a unique texture and was full of flavor. If you’re looking for something sweet, I definitely recommend this place!

They ha e a lot of options including not unchanging for replacing milk with lactose free options. It's very friendly and their drink options are a wide variety of amazing teas and coffees! Check it out!

Stumbled across this place looking for a place to read. The vibe alone is worth a visit. The drinks are 100%. I got the jasmine green with boba. This place will inspire you.

I got the strawberry matcha latte and it was really good. Perfect level of sweetness and freshness. I can see the hype. My partner got the espresso horchata latte and it was just as great. We will be back!

I've been to other Boba Guys in California specifically the one in San Francisco, Long Beach, And when they had one in Berkeley as a pop up in the early beginnings. It's in the same area as the lab of Costa Mesa so the aesthetic is like hipster. I was looking for another place that served matcha and I remember that this place opened in Orange County. I happened to get strawberry matcha and the mango matcha latte. I would say strawberry matcha is pretty standard. Mango matcha latte was pretty good! What I didn't like so much was that we had to order from the kiosk and I would have preferred ordering from an actual person. Also there were a ton of teenagers that were trying to order from the kiosk and didn't know what they were doing and no one was helping them. I guess it's getting more of a chain feeling, but feel free to check it out if you're in the mood for mid-tier boba. Like everything is freshly made, but I think is more catered to an American audience versus Asian American audience.

Excellent service and products! Besides this place takes care of environment, they are very professional, attentive, get your order right and ask for details when you order drinks. Absolutely love them! Thank you.

4/5, recent menu included in the review with prices. The atmosphere is unique, its an open area with ample seating, they have a kiosk where you can order. We had the strawberry matcha latte, korean banana milk drink, and thai tea. All were very tasty, the korean banana one is an acquired taste. Store is next to 2nd street thrift store. Good spot for boba, inside the camp. Parking is difficult to find however during peak hours. I wish they gave free water cups :(

Boba is so tough

Boba is so tough

Visited Boba Guys for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed! Their drink selection was impressive. The Thai tea I ordered was amazing- rich and flavorful, just the way I like it. I couldn’t resist trying one of their signature drinks, the Korean Banana Milk was a delightful and unique treat. I got my drink in no time, service was fast. Even though the seating was outside, it was cozy and comfortable, making it a great spot to relax. I can’t wait to come back and try more flavors. Highly recommend Boba Boys for anyone looking for a fantastic boba experience!

friendly service. Decent drinks. Since it’s sort of an outdoor area, dust and leaves are everywhere

Boba Guys is one of my favorite spots, especially as a vegan. I ordered matcha (without honey) with oat milk and boba, and it was really good. Over the years, I have had multiple drinks, and I have never had one I did not like. Truly vegan boba and milk teas are often hard to find, but Boba Guys uses a vegan creamer and does not use honey in their boba (although they do have honey as a sweetener, so verify your drink doesn’t have it). The staff is vegan aware, and there are also vegan guides online.

Went here last weekend. I had ordered a double hojicha. I noticed something was off with the drink so the bobarista remade it. It came out perfectly the second time. Outstanding customer service!
