“This place is amazing! I was about to update my review when I discovered I never wrote one! Yikes, live been here at least 10 times, have had different sandwiches and burgers they are all amazing. I love their Taco Tuesday menu. The in house sauces are some the best I've had in a while. Service is quick and responsive to needs. Freddy makes you feel right at home. If you're looking for outstanding food this place is for you.“
“Come here if you like mangos! Pretty fun place with a lot of coconut mango related drinks and dessert items. I really like mango coconut drinks with sago and they have it but the slushy coldest tends to freeze the sago and making it frozen instead of soft. The service staff is very friendly and will make special accommodations if asked. I hope this place stays open for a long time.“
“This place is fantastic and the best bubble tea/boba place at UTC.The quality is consistently good, and they have lots of choices on the menu.I really appreciate the speed of service and the line moves quickly when there is one.Lots of off the menu options too!“
“Amazing service, came out to my high school for a presentation. Food items looked great and the tea is much better than your average tea house! Boba was nice and chewy, the containers sturdy, and not too sweet (I did order 25% though haha) Would come again :)“
“Went and got a Korean style lunch, the gochujjang pork rice bowl. It's was fine. Nothing special and very pricy for what it was. When I got there it was empty but it filled up quickly with blizzard employees. There are Korean side dishes that look homemade in the refrigerators for sale. I thought they were expensive too but ymmv.“
“I absolutely love Jan's. The sandwiches here are so fresh and tasty - my favorite is the chicken salad sandwich. I love getting my order to go and heading to the nearby beaches for lunch. Jan's is the BEST addition to the any beach day.“
“I found this place thru Google. I'm so glad I did because their smoothies are really good. It filled me up after a workout. ESPECIALLY on the days I'm plan not to eat, I'm replacing it with Sam's Smoothie. It gets me going for the day. This place is located inside a gym and is very looks clean. This is forever go to place for meal replacement. Try it out.“
“Don't let the address of the cafe fool you, while it says Spectrum and you may think it is a cafe in the Spectrum mall, it's just across in the nearby Parks apartment community. It is a really cute cafe with a European feel to it. I'm sure children will love it, as well as adults who crave Nutella anything. Their menu offers everything from coffee, hot chocolate, waffles, crepes, chocolate covered fruits and savory items like flat breads and a beef burger. Ordering was easy via a large iPad. The people working there were great too and were quick to give us recommendations and also tips on where to park the next time. Parking is available around the cafe and if that is full, you can park in the visitor spots inside the community's parking garage. On to the food, what can I say, how can anyone complain about Nutella? To mix things up, I ordered their crepe with half Nutella, half Biscoff and with strawberries. A very good decision, I must say. The Biscoff was definitely a good surprise. As if I didn't have enough Nutella, I went ahead and ordered the Nutella hot chocolate. It was interesting in a good way. I fully expected a hot chocolate with a hazelnut flavor, but there's actual Nutella in it. My husband ordered the chicken flatbread and liked it but he was swiping at my sweet treats more often than I liked. Overall, a good experience and I would definitely come back again when I am craving crepes.“

“This is one of the best tea stores. I'm working in the Diamond plaza as well, I almost purchase a drink from them every day. They use real teas and fruits that I can taste, unlike some other tea stores, they use powders and may add artificial flavours. Sunright also offers options for less sugar which I like it pretty much since I don't want to intake sugars too much. Another good thing is their employees, they work really hard and are very friendly. They give me a smile every time when I pick up my order, some of them even used their both hands to pass me the drink, I'm really appreciate that I'm treated with respect. Overalls, 5 Star ⭐“
“This is my go to. The food is always delicious and everyone who works there is so friendly. I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you order. I'm always finding something new that's just as good. My only tip is to get there earlier as the line can get packed at lunch. Most recent find was the overnight oats which far exceeded my expectations of being a boring breakfast food. Not to mention they make it in house.“
“The Truffle honey avocado toast and Cacao Bliss açaí bowl were deliciously flavorful! The blueberry match is perfect; not too sweet with enough earth tones from the matcha. Lastly the white macadamia oat latte is one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. It’s also a great spot for working. They play nice ambient music in a peaceful atmosphere. There’s a good chance I’ll become a regular at this spot!“
“This independent location is a great little place, a bit pricey & a little long wait, but well worth it, service is wonderful, entire staff are very friendly and make excellent drinks, all with strong knowledge of the items...They serve a little appatizers which I must try next time, popcorn shrimps & fries...Very clean, nice warm atmosphere...A big shout-out to this amazing staff: Natalie, Dora, Emilie, Ava, Ethan, Brian, Zainab...?????“
“Delicious sugarcane juice! Very refreshing, I got the coconut sugarcane juice. It came out fairly quick. It's a little confusing to get here, my gps routed me to the back which looks like a dark alley way and is a bit confusing, the back is apparently for Uber drivers and door dash etc and front is for customers. There's a kiosk where u can order food from multiple areas in the kitchen which was nice to have a variety !“
“The Ooh La La smoothie I had was delicious! I especially love the option to have Stevia instead of sugar. I added honey boba and it was wonderful, I highly recommend it! The only disappointment was the fried calamari - it had a good flavor, but wasn't crispy at all.“
“A solid breakfast option in Irvine The menu seemed very familiar.. but that's a good thing I love that there is a lot of Hawaiian inspiration You could choose to play it safe with breakfast classics like omelettes or eggs Benedicts or select an item that you cannot get anywhere else like their Hawaiian (coconut and macadamia nut) latte or delectable guava French toast Oh my gosh the toast was so addicting I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it all without more strawberries/something fresh but it was just toooo good and crisp and satisfying My mouth is watering just by the memory of them The service was great, there's space to eat inside but I chose to enjoy the wonderful outdoor seating options (there are heaters outside as well!).“
“Jamba Juice has become my top choice for delicious and energizing smoothies. The Protein Berry Workout and PB and Banana Protein Smoothie are absolute winners. The flavors are outstanding, and the quality ingredients create a satisfying and nutritious blend. Consistency in taste and service makes Jamba Juice my go-to spot for a refreshing and fulfilling smoothie experience. Highly recommended for smoothie enthusiasts!“
“Absolutely the SWEETEST couple running this shop. I came around closing time and they accommodated my request for honey tea with boba. They even reduced the price to $4 for the large!Honey Tea boba: good tea flavor. Boba was still soft but getting a little hard in the middle (makes sense for closing time). Sweetness was perfect for me.They have frozen potstickers here which I'm excited to buy in the future to have handy for quick lunch at home. They also seem to have mochi and other buns. Although most of their dumplings seem to be with pork filling or vegetarian. Suggestions: I wish they would have shrimp only or chicken dumplings. Would love it if they made it there during lunch so people can have it with the boba. Service: very helpful, friendly, and sweetAmbience: takeout place“
“Gong Cha makes my favorite strawberry milk tea. It has real strawberry bits in it, which can be hard to come across. Good blend of flavor. Boba pearls are always nice and chewyLove how you can adjust ice level and sweetness. I recommend 25% ice for the hot SoCal sun and 30% if you don't like things too sweet. I've also tried their Taro Milk Tea and QQ Passionfruit Tea, both also good. Nothing tastes powdery here. Store is pretty small, it can get backed up on the weekends. Recommend going here on random weekday afternoons and nights instead. Workers are usually nice and happy to answer questions about the menu.“
“I love this place! I have enjoyed the frozen yogurt from this location in Irvine (Close to UCI) for the past couple of years and have not been disappointed! Following a car accident, I began ordering it by delivery, which worked out so well I often still do! Even by delivery, the staff still takes the time to package it well and ensure the order is correct! In addition to the place itself and its yogurt, the staff is fantastic and very personable!! In fact, from my occasional phone calls asking if a specific flavor is available, I've found that more than one staff member literally knows who it is and greets me by name before I even have a chance to tell them! They even remember my usual order. This kind, personable attitude is something that is far from the norm in this day and age! Their consistent, kind demeanor reminds me of what things must have been like ages ago! Long before, so many acted entitled, too often treating the people serving them as if they were insignificant! Serving the public is a tough job, and when it's performed at this high level, I am incredibly impressed! I have to admit that while I don't have impossible or unrealistic expectations for any establishment, I do have relatively high expectations that need to be met before I feel comfortable writing glowing reviews that others may use when deciding where to go. That said, this place, its yogurt, its flavors, and its amazing staff far surpass those expectations! My sincerest thanks to all of you at the University Center Yogurtland for your hard work and simultaneous positive demeanor that, IMO, goes unrecognized far too often! (and BTW, thanks for the cute drawings on the bags I receive!! HaHa!).“
“Nick was the best….. very knowledgeable, talkative and he is represents what it is say I’m part of Marriott. We have been to YnK since it opened and we have seen the changes and it keeps getting better and better…. We need more of these speakeasy places at other Marriott locations.“
“great study spot! the tea to boba ratio was perfect, my friend and i ordered a jasmine milk tea and a strawberry jasmine green tea and the teas were so light and yummy. the environment and atmosphere of the cafe is super peaceful for studying & music was very relaxing. only downside is that i did not see any outlets.“
“The best thing about Yogurtland is that you can mix a bunch of different ice creams on your own, and also, they have a ton of toppings to choose from. You can have as little as you want or fill the whole cup. It's up to you. They charge by the weight of your cup.“
“Coco Literally took care of me she was actually listening to me and I really respect her. She listens and is super sweet and expert making ta. I wanted less sweet. it's usually 30% but I want to see what she would do make it less than 30%. She did not say no sugar at all but instead coco put the bare minimum than %30. %30 is way too much sugar still. She knew I was being Health conscious. I want her to care my order and all the employees should do what she did if the customer is concerned. She is actually the employee of the year for 2024. Listening is a big part of business To make customers happy, and she sure made my night. Matter-of-fact she should be a manager, and all the workers should learn from her.“
“Was told this place is now under new management. I'd say not much had changed (which is good, in my opinion). Good amount of sitting space.Kid-friendliness: And if you like to play claw games, they have a handful full of selections too. ?“
“Presotea is probably my favorite boba spot in Irvine. I get the ceylon black milk tea with 80% sweetness and no toppings. It's the perfect amount of sweetness (not overbearing and not too little) but if you don't love sweetness, I would go down to 50%. It's located in a shop area with lots of stalls so there's also lots of food to choose from and lots of seating!“
“This location on Harvard in Irvine is the BEST Jamba Juice I've ever been to. I have been to quite a few of them all over the OC/LA area & the country too. This one is so well run & the manager & staff are so friendly. Side note: this location was the 2nd store ever opened after the original store in San Luis Obispo.“
“The owners at Van Dyke are so friendly. I visited at the recommendation of a friend. It's located in a business complex, and parking is paid, but they validate. Some of the drinks are named after their regulars, which is what we ordered. I love strawberry-chocolate anything, so Spencer's was right up my alley. Inki's was really good too. There's so much room for seating, and I love the ambiance--it's so open. It was great to stay and study. We also were given a cookie on the house, which was enormous and took me days to eat (but it stayed perfectly good). We will be back!!“
