10 Best Bubble Tea in Costa Mesa

“We love trying Boba when we visit different cities. Decided to give this place a try as it was very close to where we were staying. The decor was very cute and the staff was friendly. I ordered the Lychee fruit tea with boba and it did not disappoint. The brown sugar boba tasted fresh with the perfect texture. Absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to get a drink and drive along PCH!“

“I’ve tried a lot of boba spots in OC, and Umacha really stands out. I ordered the matcha mango and wasn’t sure what to expect, but it ended up being one of the most unique drinks I’ve had in a while.

The matcha is smooth and high quality, and the mango adds just the right amount of sweetness and freshness without overpowering it. It’s super balanced—not too sweet, not too heavy—just clean and refreshing.

The texture was on point too, and everything tasted fresh. You can tell they actually put thought into their drinks instead of just loading them with sugar.

The shop itself is minimal and clean, with a really chill vibe. Service was quick and friendly.“

“Rooster Tea had a nice selection of teas available. Their drinks were really sweet here, especially the fruit teas. I should have gotten 50-75% sweet. The drinks were better after I diluted the milk tea with milk and the fruit teas with 3x water.

* Taro Coconut Milk Tea (non caffeine) 4.5/5 - This was a very nice drink. It had a strong, smooth taro taste which I really liked. The coconut milk was pretty understated, and I didn't really taste it.

* Strawberry Hisbiscus Tea 3/5 - This was a sweet drink, but the flavors didn't really come through. 100% sweet was too much for me and I had to add more water to make it drinkable.“

“Great little boba shop! Hidden little gem tucked away in Costa Mesa. If looking for a chill spot this place is a must to visit.“

“Extremely fast and friendly service. It was not busy at all on a Sunday late afternoon. The drinks are fairly priced and tasted good. You're able to adjust sweetness level of the drinks according to your personal taste as well which is nice. Decent parking available but limited during rush hours. The interior design of the place is modern and cute. Would come again to try other drinks on their menu.“

“We stopped by Gotcha Fresh Tea and loved that they have both drinks and snacks, so it was easy to satisfy every craving in one stop!
We ordered the Paris Milk Tea, Mango Smoothie, Watermelon Slush, Popcorn Chicken, and Mozzarella Sticks. The Paris Milk Tea was rich and smooth, while the fruit drinks were refreshing and perfect for a warm day. The popcorn chicken came out hot, crispy, and full of flavor, and the mozzarella sticks had the perfect cheese pull.
The shop was clean, the ordering process was simple, and our food and drinks came out quickly. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to whenever we're in Costa Mesa! 😋🧋🍗“

“Obsessed with boba guys! High quality tea! I get their decaf black tea because I’m sensitive to caffeine and I haven’t been able to find anywhere else that has decaf tea! Is they had cheese foam~ Parking can suck but that expected at the Camp and the Lab.“

“I came by with a friend one day. Really cute place. The staff and people were very friendly.. I tried the cold brew dessert. It was very delicious. It was my first time having plant base coconut dessert and I’ll tell you right now, it is now my new favorite dessert“

“Love this place every time I visit! I've been a patron for years, both in-store and delivery. They're super easy to order for pick-up to-go, as well. Their variety of flavors has expanded over the years while the quality and consistency of their food has been a welcome addition to my comfort foods.“

“First time having a MOCHI DONUT. Flippin’ awesome, and couldn’t recommend them enough if you’re a pastry lover.“
