Got the matcha Tornado! 🍵Long line, no sitting area inside the store but there are plenty of benches and tables right outside. A must-go for milk tea! There’s two locations, one near Alton Parkway and the other on Culver Dr.
Well worth the wait! Been here several times and it’s consistently amazing. There’s usually a line, but it goes by pretty fast.
The fresh mango chunks in the Mango Tornado were a nice surprise, the Oreo Brûlée is my favorite treat, and the jasmine green tea was well balanced with cheese foam.
The quality of their ingredients is what makes this tea shop stand out from the rest!
Top 3 Flavour:
Omomo Matcha
Camo Thai
Strawberry Tornado
Uniqueness:
Omomo Matcha: The depth and richness of the matcha flavor set it apart from other standard green tea varieties.
Camo Thai: The uniqueness of Camo Thai lies in its exotic and refreshing combination of flavors.
Strawberry Tornado: Its intense and sweet strawberry taste is accompanied by a delightful texture that elevates the overall drinking experience.

I come here quite often their tea is good here and so is their boba. They got their boba down right. Other shops do not know how to get the boba right. Their cream topping here is also quite good. Many other shops do not know how to get it right. They are busy so one expect to wait at times from 15-30 minutes before they get their drinks here. Recently drink quality has changed a bit depending on which employee made the drink. I can see how they have been struggling to find good help at that shop. Price is reasonable here for drinks.
New update, constant change of employees is showing in taste consistency. The drink quality these days is not quite as good as it used to be.
Latest update. Not sure why but a while back ago they decided to cut cost and use a very cheap Oat Milk brand instead of using quality Oatly or Minor Figures. They should replace the cheap quality oat milk they use with better quality Oat Milk. I get that a while back ago that there was a shortage of Oatly and Minor Figures Oat Milk but they are in stock now so not sure why they would use a bad tasting cheap quality Oat Milk in their teas.. What happened to quality ingredients..? One would have to have poor taste buds if they can’t taste the difference between quality oat milk and poor quality cheap oat milk. The same goes for regular milk as well.
The best place for creme brulee boba drinks. We come on a Tues afternoon and it is not as busy. We get the mango tornado with black and white boba 50% sweet. It's just the right amount of sweetness and there are a lot of mango bits inside the cup compared to other places that don't put enough mango in their drinks. Overall chill and delicious boba but be careful when you go near their closing time or rush hours.
Ordered the avocado smash and it was good! Will definitely come back when I'm in the area. Daughter also ordered orio Brule green tea and she was one satisfied customer as well. When you're on the Irvine area, stop by and you won't regret it.
Be ready to wait in line. Showed up 10 Minutes before it opened and I was the 3rd person in line. When it opened, the line was already really long. Store is credit card and phone pay now, No cash.
To drinks seem high quality. It is expensive. $5 for a green tea that's smaller than Starbucks. It's not worth the wait if there's a long line.
The average age for this tea shop looks to be about 20 to 25 so I felt a little out of place walking up especially when I first noticed how long the line was. The teas are amazing I will give them that, they're beautiful, but I know a lot of people like to come here and take pictures of all the beautifully swirled, cheese, oolong and black tea.
I would definitely come here again but I would not wait in the line that I waited today. We arrived at 3:30 and my trusty amazing friend was there earlier than me so she waited in line right away thankfully because we did not sit down with our tea until about 4 it literally takes that long. Still if the line wasn't as severe I would definitely go here again
Long lines on the weekend be careful cuz might be an hour wait. Weekdays are manageable. Would recommend their matcha drinks or the mango tornado. Their agar boba is very unique would recommend that as the add on topping instead of regular although their regular boba is solid. It is more on the pricier side
Drinks are super. Avacado smoothy open my mind. Didn't know avacado can be a good choice for drink before. Since I don't live in LA or Irvine area, I cannot go there often. So I decided to copy their drink at home.
