Tea Restaurants near Irvine, CA

“Junbi recently provided some amazing drinks at a conference in Irvine! They were super easy to work with--flexible, communicative, and enthusiastic. They helped me pick the perfect mix of flavors for our group. The team was early for setup, something I can deeply appreciate as an Event Coordinator. Needless to say, their drinks got cleared out! I look forward to working with them again soon!“

“Very Good hand made Tea Shop“

“Lovely tea house with amazing quality teas from Chinese green and black teas to Japanese matcha and hojicha. The sweetest owner patiently walked us through all the flavors and even brewed fresh samples 🥰 it felt like a mini tea adventure. Took home a bag of hojicha , and absolutely delicious! Highly recommend for tea lovers!“

“Ever After Tea Room really impressed us! We tried the beef noodle soup, Thai Basil fried rice, rib eye, and salmon entrées, and each dish was absolutely delicious. The broth in the noodle soup was rich and comforting, the fried rice had bold flavors, and the entrées were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned.

We also treated ourselves to the matcha red bean bingsoo with taro, and wow — it was so light, fluffy, and not too sweet. Exactly what we were craving! The real taro drink was another standout — made with actual taro chunks and red beans. It tasted so fresh and creamy, nothing artificial at all.

The staff was kind and attentive, and the decor is super cute and cozy. It’s also a great study spot with plenty of outlets and comfy seating. Definitely a new favorite for both food and vibes!“

“Please bring back the Longjin cheese cap tea!

The Longjin cheese cap tea is delicious and is the low caffeine tea option I need. I was planning come back long term just for this drink.

But I discovered recently that it's no longer on the menu. This would have been a five star review for the Longjin tea alone.

I would highly recommend others to try the Longjin tea if/when it is back for it strikes a perfect balance of tea flavor, bouquet and caffeine.“

“This nice little shop tucked away inside a small shopping center is a gem. Highly recommend coming here for some boba and toast to go or to hangout inside the cute little shop. Ordered bulee throw it crystal boba and I have to say that this is one of my fave 9 out of 10 stars. The perfect matcha, 80% sweet and less ice was 8 out 10. The custard toast with taro was soft, creamy and sweet 8 out 10 stars. Will come here again when we're in Irvine.“

“Their brown sugar cream brûlée drink IS THE BEST EVER!!! it been 1 month since my Hawaii vacation and I cannot stop thinking about it ... so I’ve been googling other locations and luckily found out there’s one in Irvine CA which is only 1 hour away from me and let me tell you I will not mind driving an hour all the way from San Diego just to get one I LOVE IT! 😍“

“Not sure why this place has so many bad reviews. I just encountered the sweetest lady who let me try my drink before she sealed it because I was concerned about it being too sweet. I got a mango jasmine tea with 0 sugar and she waited for me to taste it before adding more sugar. What a gem! The tea was also very yummy, with fresh mango purée. I would return for sure.“

“Freshly brewed teas in a minimalistic setting. Drinks were rich, and not too sweet, which I greatly enjoyed. Great grab & go place!“

“My group of three went right at opening we had reservations for 11AM. The staff were kind and attentive. My glass of water was always filled without having to ask which is always a personal plus of mine.
We ordered, fried tofu, shrimp ceviche, papaya salad, both of the curries, pineapple fried rice, pepper beef and truffle noodles. We loved everything we ordered!! The ambience of the restaurant and delicious food was an amazing combo, I really wish the best for this restaurant because we will definitely be back!“

“Deliciosos Tes y otras mas y buen servicio“

“I'm quite picky about my boba. I need it 25% sweet with light ice, and I really want to taste the tea in my boba drinks.
This is a recent thing in an effort to be somewhat healthy so before i always had gotten 100% sweetness in my boba. This cafe makes their drinks with quality tea and I really like that. My one very big quib about this place was that they don't do sweetness levels in percentages so that knocked a star off for me bc they only have heavy sweet or light sweet, and light sweet in ny opinion tastes like 100% sweetness. I tried asking for no sweetness and they couldn't do that. The cashier was really helpful and patient with all of my questions so that was great.i ordered a jasmine milk tea light sweetness light ice and it was very very sweet, but the tea was very strong which I liked. I am noticing a trend in boba places going hard at making their drinks sugary and I wish that wasn't the case. I think the milk teas might be sweeter but I will make an edit to this post when I get a non milk tea.

Dietary restrictions: Good for lactose free folk but not diabetics or those looking to cut their sugar intake.

Parking: So little parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Good space inside for wheelchairs.“

Visited Cha Redefine last weekend with a friend who couldn’t stop raving about their drinks, and wow, I totally get the hype now! 😍 Their menu is super creative, not your typical tea house vibes. I went for the Dirty Avocado, and let me just say: mind blown 🤯. Who would’ve thought avocado and coffee could be such a dreamy combo? Creamy, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. Also tried the Ceylon Latte – loved the pecan cream topping. 🌟

The drinks here are as Instagram-worthy as it gets – beautiful presentation that’s totally fresh and handmade. If you're hunting for LA's best tea house or looking for unique flavors, this place is definitely worth checking out. Highly recommend for tea lovers or anyone craving something out-of-the-box. 💯 @Cha Redefine“

“Has great Milk Tea, Teas and Matcha 🍵 Garden. People are very helpful to explain there different teas.“

“Matcha lovers, heads up! My friend shared that R&B Tea’s Garden Grove location is running a Buy 1 Get 1 for $1 promo on their new matcha series from 7/25–7/31/2025 so we went to check it out.

Here’s how it works:
BUY ONE :
Try one of their NEW matcha drinks:
💚 Matcha Latte
💚 Double Matcha Latte
💚 Coco Matcha
💚 Matcha Stormy
💚 Strawberry Matcha Latte
💚 Mango Matcha Latte

GET ONE for just $1:
Choose between a Classic Milk Tea or Jasmine Milk Tea, and they’re actually bigger in size than the matcha ones!

We tried the Strawberry and Mango Matcha Lattes and not bad at all, though they were a bit on the smaller side. The milk teas that came with the deal were nice and refreshing, especially on a warm day.

Oh, and they also sell those cute puffle waffles if you’re craving a snack! 🧇

If you’re nearby, swing by before the promo ends on 7/31/2025.

📍9732 Garden Grove Blvd #6, Garden Grove, CA 92844 (inside Hanmi Plaza)“

“This coffee shop is really, really something special to the community. This cafe offers a safe, warm, electricity-available and WiFi-available place for students and groups to study, gather, play board games, etc.
Mon-Thurs & Sun: 11am-11pm
Fri/Sat: 11am-2am!!!

The owner has a big heart for the students here. Even though posted hours are until 11pm (later than 90% of coffee shops in the area), I have personally witnessed the owner sometimes extending the shop hours if there are lots of students studying. Doesn’t matter if people aren’t buying new drinks or new food. I’ve personally seen her keep the lights on an extra 30mins or 1hr sometimes. So when I say this place is a gem in this community I really mean it.

In addition, they have very decent prices for milk teas/coffee/comfort foods. I got tired of paying $7-9 for overly sugared drinks with no option to cut out the sugar. Many places don’t even have sugar-free coffee or teas. This place does. Here they have a really wide food menu too.

No cheap chairs, rickety/dilapidated tables, etc. The furniture they have here is comfortable for long study sessions or game nights. It’s not quiet, but it’s not overly loud. And it’s warm/cozy. Very chill place to study (if you can find a table). Electrical outlets to charge your devices. And great lighting and music. Restrooms in the back as well.

I drive 45 minutes to come here when I need a late night study or work session. Grateful for places like this.

Also…if this place is overfilled and you can’t find a seat, there’s a tea shop few stores down that’s open till 12am. Not a bad place to chill until seats open up here.“

“Had lots of fun, at the Chinese New Years festival“

“I don't know why this place has such bad reviews. They're doing a too good to go promotion where you get 2 surprise drinks for a decent price. They come out really quick too. Great service. It's in an apartment complex which is an odd area, but their toppings taste fresh.“
