Amazing neighborhood coffee shop. Their drinks are delicious, and the store atmosphere is great. Extremely clean and very conscious about safety during the pandemic. Dont miss the pistachio latte!

Tastea never disappoints. The service is always amazing, especially the worker named Ashley. She always makes my drinks just right and has the bubbliest personality.

I love this place!! They offer a whole variety of flavors and styles of boba tea, and theyre open later than most other shops which is a plus for me. Highly recommend!!

Strawberry bannanza is pretty good. the full sweet is definitely really sweet especially with the strawberry sweetness already. 12 o clock is definitely rush hour. order ahead probably during that time.

I got a winter melon green milk tea here with honey boba and light ice. The tea was awesome. It had the right amount sweetness and was fresh. The staff was friendly and answered any questions I had.

Tastea is my favorite local boba place! My top three favorite drinks are the (1) Strawberry Sensation, (2) the Watermelon Heaven, and (3) the Avocado Avalanche. Customer service is fantastic, and the patient hostess at the register patiently answered every one of the questions that my bickering parents asked her. Even though my parents constantly argue with each other, and even though they disagree on virtually EVERYTHING, they definitely agree on one thing--Tastea is the best, and its our new favorite spot! Tastea has saved their marriage, and were all the most blessed because of it! (A Strawberry Sensation is much cheaper than a $150 marriage counseling session!) Thanks, Tastea, for your awesome boba drinks, and thanks for saving my parents marriage!

Negative experience here. Hate to sound like a karen but the order did not match what I got. Specifically asked for no sweetner and instead I got a drink that was not only sweet, but TOO sweet. Imagine getting a matcha milk tea for it to only be sweeter than taro. Probably to mask the fact that this is cheap culinary grade matcha. Hardly drinkable by itself. $7 gone. Oh well, last time I come here

I love Tastea, its been awhile since Ive been able to get in. Obviously because of the current situation. However, if they have some kind of contactless pickup system, I would highly recommend this place. My favorite drink here is the Kryptonite matcha green tea smoothie. I first tried it with regular boba, but then I tried thier honey boba. Its fantastic!!🤓I cant get enough of it!!👍👍

This is a nice, small spot for some popcorn chicken and shrimp. I think the chicken is called karate chicken lol? Anyways this is definitely more of a snack-type spot, nothing really stands out as far as what youd call a complete meal. I say that but the shrimp has nearly gotten me full! We also ordered the chamango drink and while its not my cup of tea (no pun intended) wifey enjoyed it.

This is a gluten free review.Gluten free menu: No, but GF items clearly markedWhat I ordered: Karate Chicken with Buttload’a Fries (this is a funny item to order. Feels weird to say it lol)Gluten free options: 5/5The whole menu is gluten freeFood: 3/5The chicken and fries are HOT and fresh. I’m not a huge fan of the Tastea dust. This seasoning is very strong. I wish it was a little less overwhelming. Both the fries and nuggets are very “heavy”. I can usually only eat about half of it before I feel like I need a salad or something healthy. There’s not a lot of places where you can have gluten free chicken nuggets in Orange County (I know of two places).The smoothies and teas are awesome. So much variety. I especially love the summer flavors.Service: 4/5Chicken and fries took about 15 mins to come out, but it was very fresh. Usually takes 5 mins for a drink order.Location: 4/5This center can get pretty busy, but fortunately Tastea is in a less crowded part of the center. Parking isn’t difficult to find.Ambiance: 2/5Comfortable seating. Nothing special about the space.Price: 4/5Prices are reasonable.Overall score: 4/5

They messed up my order which wasn’t a big deal they just didn’t give me my boba I asked for. When I went in there the lady was super rude with a bad attitude. I asked her kindly why there was no boba in my drink and she said it was my fault I didn’t ask and if I wanted it then I would have to go pay for it . I checked my recipe they had already charged me for the boba. Not only were they rude and messed up my order the tea wasn’t even good.

Clean and cozy, well-equipped for COVID-19 precautions, a great place for an exotic smoothie-type drink or snack. I enjoyed trying something new and different. There is an Asian influence in the menu.

Great boba place for vegans!! All their drinks can have plant milk substitutes. I come here a lot and never disappointed.

Review №19

Their quality has really gone spectacularly downhill. Today I had the displeasure of ordering the worst jasmine milk tea I’ve ever had in my life. The tea tasted bitter, verging on soapy, and I could count the number of boba they added on my fingers. Atrocious.On the upside, the taro was at least barely mediocre.

I was just there, I asked for 4 Taro tea, blended with boba, but didn’t get the boba. I even paid extra for one to have extra boba and I didn’t even get that. I repeated the order twice to the girl working there, and she got my order wrong.

These guys actually close at 8pm, and their kitchen closes even earlier at 7. They should update their hours and post the kitchen hours somewhere prominent on their website...

Will totally give a 5/5 for boba because it’s super unique. Got the lychee freeze and it came with rainbow jelly and little bits of actually lychee, which I’ve never had anywhere else. And the boba is green. I thought they were giving me green peas🍏 lol. However, the service is rather poor. My drink never came out and it was never even on their board of drinks to make so I waited extra and had to retell the lady what I ordered. To make matters worse, my friend was #1 on the drink board but she waited 12 minutes 😱for them to make her drink. And people after her had their drinks served before her. And she only ordered one simple thing. The ladies working there at night are extremely noob and we saw a few other people waiting extra long and talking to her for extra drinks. Tisk tisk. 👎

Quality drinks as usual. Been to the Rowland location for years, and when I saw this I knew that it would be good. Peach me sweet tea is still my favorite after all these years. 👍🏽

I was in a rush, and didn’t remember what I liked last time I was. She was very helpful, accurate, and quick. By the time I was done paying my drink was ready. And it was delicious

This place is young and hip. More than boba. You can get fruit smoothies and seasonal drinks as well.Got the watermelon heaven with watermelon chunks for less than $5. Real fruit drink for less than $5!

A good selection of fresh and tasty tea. My personal best choice is a Thai Matcha Milk Tea. Add some amazing sweeteners like honey boba or lychee jelly inside and that would keep your well energized and hydrated as well as its just damn good.

Tastea is tasty indeed! I have been waiting for this location to open and its finally open! My personal favorites are the Lychee Peachee and the Bootea Shaker. Always in 32oz and always with an order of Karate Chicken at spice level 2 (out of 5). Very clean location and friendly staff.

Hands down one of the most unique boba places. I was pleasantly surprised by their green boba (and pink boba during Valentines). Their boba has the best texture in my opinion. Interesting additives that still taste good!

Obsessed with the boba here. Boba always tastes fresh and many drink options have bits of fresh fruit. Yums! There are also options to adjust sweetness and among of ice.

In the crossroad shopping center, can be a bit tricky to found parking. I order a Thai iced tea, Boba was extra charge. For $6 a bit pricy for a large, a bit to sweet but the Boba was nice and soft. Ive had Boba that were hard and rubbery. Staff can be a bit impatient if you dont know what to order. Busy on hot days.
