Rooster Tea Yorba Linda

Unlike many boba spots in non predominantly Asian neighbourhoods, Rooster Tea Yorba Linda clearly has management that cares deeply about its clients, their satisfaction, and quality ingredients. With a wide variety of delicious quality boba, wholesome table games, friendly staff, and quality ice creams, this is an incredible value for money spot which we'll definitely come back to!

Today I visited one of my regular favorites, Rooster Tea in YL. They're located in the small, very locally owned shopping center off of Yorba Linda Blvd and Yorba Ranch Rd, in between the Yorba Linda Pet Care Center (veterinarian - so lots of cute dogs) and OC Wine Mart & Deli.

When you walk in, the front door is decorated and partially open and is already inviting. You're greeted with the colorful rooster mural on your right, and cozy seating on your left. I've never seen anyone actually sit down and work on their laptop here, but they have enough seating to do so.

The staff is always very cheerful and helpful, and I tend to learn something new about the establishment whenever I go. Today I learned that my regular order already has a little sugar in the base, so I could have ordered 0 sweetness instead of my usual 25%. Maybe next time ;)

There's a rewards system in which you receive points for each order, so be sure to sign up. You simply enter your phone number before purchasing on their touch screen. The rewards system used to be a punch card - I never remembered to bring mine! I'm sure the new system is more convenient for everyone.

Drinks are made very quickly. Mine was ready in less than 3 minutes.

When the staff was wrapping up my order, a few people walked in and the staff recognized them right away. Apparently it had been many months since he last came in (sounds like 6 months or more), but she instantly remembered his regular order - a peach slush. He was impressed she remembered, I was impressed she remembered. I'm sure the lady in the corner of the shop was also impressed!

Hats off to Rooster and congrats on your hiring practices and how you treat your employees. You're very lucky you have such a bright, smart, welcoming staff so please continue to treat them well! Give the employee today a raise - I will return back soon to find out her name and DM the owners with praise. It's so rare to have such special employees.

Finally, my order - I always get the Passionfruit Green Tea ($6.56 + 15% tip). 25% sweet, in the 24 oz cup aka the large. It's my favorite tea I've tried out of any tea shop I've been to. It's the perfect flavor and I hope it doesn't change!

They have a wide variety of options for drinks and toppings, and also have churros, egg rolls and fries, as well as ice cream and mochi ice cream. I'll be back soon and will try to part ways with my favorite drink so that I can try and review more of the menu!

I request 40% of the sugar o dextrose that they used. Careless did not care. We got home and was full of sweetener.
We know that Boba places used artificial sweeteners. They do not care the health of our kids

Only place local that sells Boba drinks, but you can also get an assortment of teas, slushies, sweet snacks, and a variety of specialty drinks. Highly recommend.

First time trying this place. The shop itself is very spacious and super cute. The drink I got was the rooroo milktea with coffee jelly. It was absolutely delicious, thank you to the 2 workers who recommended it.

I ordered the Thai Tea. That was just terrible. Maybe not the worst Thai Tea that I ever had, but it was just very bad. The tea itself had very little flavor to start. I'm guessing that they don't brew their tea but instead just make it from powder. And the condensed milk or whatever the dairy was on top didn't make it any better.I miss when this place was Ding Tea. They went independent and just messed things up.

I frequent the rooster tea and Costa Mesa regularly. Start going to Yorba Linda because it’s closer to my home. Owners son is working there and screwed up the order. The rest of five staff thought I was crazy. I know when there’s coffee in anything I consume. The staff is ridiculous for me, and the owner is Aggressive.

Tea is mediocre and so is boba

So good!! The best boba tea in town. Lots of delicious options and the staff here are very nice.

First I would like to say that the atmosphere is very welcoming. The employees were always so friendly even when busy. Sometimes though, it gets pretty busy around 2-4 because of the nearby school and neighborhood. So it’s best to order ahead online. But other then that, my mom and I always had a great experience there.

Kid-friendliness: Children from the nearby school like to come here a lot and the staff are always friendly and patient with them.
