Odd One Out

You're going to want to Try the Champion Milk Tea with Jasmine Silk Boba. Odd One out hits on all cylinders. Excellent service, great tea quality, and top-tier boba

This shop has a great selection of custom teas. We would recommend getting the peach bellini with the honey boba (half sweet).

🍹 Local Spots

MeetFresh
Irvine, CA
This is primarily a Taiwanese dessert place but they have an ace in the hole with their Mini Q Milk tea. This is one of the only spots in Irvine to get taro boba so its a great change of pace from honey boba.

Cafe 302
Irvine, CA
This is tucked away in the Tustin Marketplace food court but is the perfect drop in spot for your boba fix. They have self-service where you pick your toppings and then pour your own tea. In and out, easy peasy. For starters, try the Taro milk tea with taro pudding and boba. Plenty more combinations to try after that!

HEYTEA
Irvine, CA
This tea shop is not one that comes up on most lists but their boba punches above their weight. If you can get there in the right season, the cloud coconut blue tea with the brown sugar boba half sweet is a great refreshing beverage.
