50 Best Bubble Tea near Placentia

“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!!“

“How often do you find boba places with staff that seem genuinely nice and caring? Their drinks aren't too pricey, good quality, can customize sweetness and toppings. They're running a special at the moment, plenty of tables and a couple outlets to get work done too. I had their chicken tenders last time and they're solid for a "boba shop".“

“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.“

“I dont understand why this place doesnt have a line around the building... I've been coming here for a while now. I used to live in Santa Ana, then Paramount, and now Laguna Niguel. Every time I've made the drive because the drinks are AMAZING. For the most part I'm a Thai tea kinda person and the Thai Tea Blossom is ALWAYS on pint and add the Sealt Creme..... its heaven in a cup. The staff has always been good and the art does blow me away, some of these people should be doing comics, manga or cartoons. This place should be on everyone's list if you're into delicious drinks, think I'm kidding?? Again-- I drive from Laguan Niguel to get a drink from here!!!“

“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 discovered Chaos Bubble Shoppe through the Too Good to Go app.,it is incredible that I get THREE beverages for $6. I also began sampling the rice balls and have two more to go to have tried them all. Delicious!! I got a signature tea (today was roasted oolong tea, toffee is my favorite), a milk tea with boba (today was toasted oolong milk tea) and one of my favorite fruit teas with boba, cactus passion tea. I have tried at least 20 different drinks and enjoyed all of them. The staff is friendly and professional, worth a stop whether you just want a drink or some delicious food. Highly recommend!! Truly a hidden gem!!“

“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.“

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

“They are awesome and even had us try different samples. Made our group feel so welcomed when we came here the very 1st time. We will definitely keep coming back when we are in this area.“

“Chayan Tea Shop is an absolute gem!
The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the warm aroma of freshly brewed tea and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Their menu offers a wonderful variety of teas—each cup perfectly balanced, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always happy to recommend something new based on your taste.

Whether you’re stopping by for a refreshing iced tea, a creamy milk tea, or a comforting hot brew, Chayan never disappoints. The quality, presentation, and overall experience are consistently excellent.

Highly recommended for all tea lovers! 🍃🫖🌟“

“wonderful drinks and great service!!“

“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!“

“Amazing, Outstanding!!! Drinks were Awesome!!!! Visitor from Colorado who drinks coffee everyday and I must say, this coffee satisfied my thirst, will Definitely be returning again.“

“First time ever been here. I love the lovely decorations for Valentines coming. I got B2 Fresh Lemon Black Tea with Mango Boba and Lychee Jello, highly recommend for this drink if you are tired of milky/creamy boba. Service is friendly and patient!“

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

“First time trying out this place; our friend Peggy recommended here. We loved the authentic favors of our drinks and fantastic service from Sarah. Very attentive and making sure our drinks were good. Will come back again when we travel back to LA!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Came back for round two because I love boba too much to give up that easily 😅 and I’m so glad I did. Tried the hojicha milk tea with no sweetness + boba, and it was a much better experience this time around.

Good flavor tea and good boba are always important to me — I usually get my sweetness from the boba itself, so I almost always order 0 added sugar. The hojicha was flavorful and smooth, and the boba was fresh, chewy, and delicious, which really made the drink.

The staff was super friendly, the space was clean and welcoming, and they were kind enough to let me take photos (always appreciated by a food lover 📸). Everything felt thoughtful and well done, and the vibe was perfect for sitting and actually enjoying your tea.

I’d definitely come back again — the boba lover in me approves 🧋✨“

“Tried the new NoBibi Ice Cream & Boba and wow… this place is legit! We got the Mango Mellow, Dubai Chocolate, and the Oreo Cookie combo — all three were hella good. Super fresh flavors, creamy ice cream was on point. The shop is new but already feels like a favorite spot. Definitely worth checking out!“

“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“

“Just tried Teaspoon and it’s fantastic!“

“We stopped in here after our visit next door at Dong Hung Vien. We picked up teas earlier down the street that were literally disgusting with old tea and flavor. Helen helped us today and made us the most delicious Lychee and passion green teas. The tea was very fresh, fruit flavor right on and the sweetness st 25 percent was perfect. Thank you Helen for making our visit so nice and we look forward to stopping by again .“

“Amazing atmosphere! Bookstore-like decor and plenty of cool board games. Ordered the chicken wings which were juicy and spiced just right. Relatively empty in the afternoon so a great place to work then.

Critical feedback: I ordered a peach oolong milk tea with boba, 0 sugar. The drink was very watery and I requested more milk in it, but it still wasn't enough. Slightly disappointed with the drink.

Nice-to-have enhancement: have sugar packets outside so customers can adjust the sugar level themselves. Would be nice if the boba had a honey coating to it.

Overall, I loved the place and really hope it does well!“

“It’s so hard for me to find dairy free Thai tea options. I was so excited when I saw that it was dairy free and had to do double take. I’ve gone to other spots to compare and this one is my favorite! So happy to have found this spot. Quick too! I’ve also tried the cocothai and loved it.“

“Honestly, I couldn’t really say much about the atmosphere yet, I have never been inside the store. My orders were via delivery but from experience it’s the best, excellent and tasty Taro boba drink I’ve ever had. It’s so hard to a very good Taro drink these days using fresh Taro, I love ❤️❤️❤️ House Taro Yuan the best!! Please keep up the great work and never change your ingredients, you are the best and my favorite of all!! I’ll be sure to stop by and experience the taste of the atmosphere being inside your store!!“

“muy buena atencion muy amables“

“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!“

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

“This is the original Tastea location, and it’s got so much history for me. It opened when I was just finishing high school — I was 17 or 18 — and this place was the hangout spot. One of the first big boba spots around, and easily the most popular. All my friends worked here, everyone came through — it was the place to be.

When they dropped the green boba, it was game over. People were lining up. Even now, with so many new tea shops everywhere, this one still holds up.

My go-to drink is the Peach Me Sweetea — still undefeated. When I want something simple (and cheaper), the Simple Black Iced Tea always hits. Lately, though, I’ve been obsessed with their ranch fries. They used to have the buttload fries — not my favorite seasoning — but this new ranch version? So good. Everything’s fresh, hot, and made to order.

Honestly, I’ve come here just for the fries sometimes and forget to get a drink. I never get the boba, but the drinks and those ranch fries? Nowhere else does it like this. Still one of my favorite OG spots.“

“Lynn Tea - Boba in Yorba Linda, CA, is a great spot to get your boba fix. The staff are friendly and helpful, the tea selection is vast and delicious, and their prices are competitive. I have had several of their drinks over the past few months, all of which were top-notch. They also offer vegan plant-based alternatives to traditional milk teas or smoothies. They are highly recommended!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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...“

“Great place and great service.. my boys were playing jenga and uno that’s a real treat to have games at places like these“

“Such a fun and delicious experience! I tried the Boba Flight, which lets you sample different drinks, and it was such a great way to explore their menu. The Matcha Marble and Taro Milk Tea ended up being my favorites—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced in flavor. I also ordered the Ube Bites, which were so chewy and flavorful, a perfect sweet treat alongside the drinks. The space is welcoming, and the service was quick and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for creative and tasty boba options!“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you want a delicious matcha In OC i would say OMoMO is on the top of the list. We always order the omomo matcha and it was great.
The only thing you need to consider here is the line would be long because people really love the spot but this branch on brea is not that crowded than other branches and be careful with the cover its pretty sharp so we mostly request for a plastic cup to cover the edges.Still 5 star for me“

“Best boba in Southern California. I got their Ube speciality drink half sweet last night and it was so good. My kiddo got a crème brûlée brown sugar matcha and they did brûlée the top with a torch. It’s such a great place. Worth the tricky parking for sure.“

“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 !“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️“

“1st time, but not the last!“

“1. The smoothies were delicious and well-crafted! I really like the coconut strawberry smoothie!
2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior has high ceilings!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready in less than 10 mins!
Note: There is a restroom available for customers!

“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 💓“

“I have gone to this place to study several times. The workers are always so nice and give great recommendations if you don't know what to order just want to explore in flavor, or have specific dietary restrictions. Drinks are 10/10! Popcorn chicken was good I recommend sharing with someone! The wifi gets a little slow when there is a lot of people but decent.“

“My husband and I have been regulars for years. Our favorite drink has always been the Oreo green brûlée milk tea. We like the crunchy Oreo bits, cream flavor, hint of floral green tea, and soft boba.

This latest visit on Saturday night,
the boba was soft and mushy rather than chewy/bouncy as previous visits. Not sure if it was a one off situation.

They’ve transitioned their Fivestars points system to a new rewards system. We noticed our points were not showing, but after contacting the posted email address they retrieved and added the missing points.

Parking is always easy and plenty and the A/C in the store is always strong which are pluses.“
