Eightfold Tea Shoppe

Got the green Thai tea with boba and 25% sweetness and it was perfect :) The worker was also really friendly.

I've had my eye on Eightfold Tea Shoppe for so long, but they're a little bit out of the way for me so it took a while for me to get here. The photos of their product looks alluring, so I was hoping the presentation would correlate to quality products. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. They were out of all of the items I intended to try. No custard, no choux cream, no anything with matcha. And I heard them tell the guest after me matcha won't be available until maybe next week, so it isn't just a one night inventory issue. The cashier was sweet so I didn't want to give her a hard time so I ordered a Black Sesame Macaron ($4,25) and a Purple Taro Swirl ($6.80) 50% sweet. The black sesame macaron was hard. Allegedly it was just same on the same day but the maracon was both hard on the edges and interior. It should be a hard shell but with a chewy interior. And the buttercream filling was even hard. So unsatisfied for a crazy overpriced macaron. And I had to wait forever for the purple taro swirl. I get blending and hitting, and I saw the staff struggle to get the drink out into the cup, go back to the back to keep blending. I went from having an hour to kill to actually worrying that I'll be running late. The anticipation did not pay off cause I didn't like the drink. It was still a tad too sweet at 50% sweetness. And instead of tasting like taro, it tasted like coconut milk. Ugh I hate coconut milk in my drinks. I threw away more than 75% of the drink cause the sugar wasn't worth it to me. They have a stampcard but I don't plan on coming back. Given they were out of everything I actually wanted, and the things I actually tried sucked. I'm not coming back. It's way too inconvenient to come here to be disappointed. Staff was nice so I'm giving them a 3 star but how I feel about their products that I tried is at a 2 star.

The milk tea tasted very watery. I asked for 75% sweetness and it tasted like 25% sweetness. The boba was quite hard. Plus side: The shoppe is cute with the wooden furniture and plants, about 5 tables and 2 outlets so I can see this place being a decent study spot if it's not busy. The place is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Overall, not worth it. I wouldn't come back and I wouldn't recommend anybody to come here.

It's a small boba shop, but wow is their menu interesting! I stopped by here with a friend after lunch at a nearby ramen shop and grab their kiwi mojito mainly because it was labelled as non-caffeinated. I'd never seen any boba shops serve that, so I was excited to try something different. I'm glad I did because it actually was super good! It was refreshing, sweet, tart, and fizzy! Think like a kiwi soda with kiwi bits floating around. I adjusted my sweetness to 50% which was perfect because 100% definitely would have been too sweet for me. There was only one person working when we came, but she was super sweet and the drinks came out within 5-10 minutes. It looks like there are also some card/board games for people to play. There are a few seating options so it's probably good for hanging out with 1-3 friends. Super glad my friend recommended this spot.

Easy parking. Nicely decorated small shop. Drinks are decent. Service is a bit slow since they only have 1 person working.

I came in here to grab a drink since I was waiting around in the area. After looking at the menu on Yelp, I decided to get the Marbled Strawberry with boba, which is also on their best sellers list.I love strawberry and this drink was a delicious blend of strawberry and milk. The restaurant itself is quick small, so it's more of a grab and go kind of spot. The OC area has plenty of boba spots to choose from, so I was happy to give them a try and it turned out to be a good pick!

Refreshing milk tea and mojito at Eightfold. Staff were nice and friendly. Drinks came out quickly. Cozy and comfortable ambiance with many tables and seatings.

It's rare for me to strongly dislike a bubble tea spot, but unfortunately, this place gave me a bad experience and really disappointed me. I ordered online for pickup through Yelp, and when I arrived, the staff informed me they had no access to the online ordering system. While I don't blame the staff for this issue, the person I spoke with was neither helpful nor knowledgeable about how to resolve it. I had to call Grubhub to sort out the problem, and luckily, their customer service was helpful.Despite the online ordering mishap, I decided to try their signature milk tea with boba. The cup had an odd parchment-like paper sealing it, with a plastic lid on top. When I took my first sip, I had to resist the urge to spit it out because the flavor was so unexpected. I was expecting a milky black tea with a hint of brown sugar, but instead, I got a weird minty flavor with an unpleasantly bitter aftertaste. Whatever tea was used in their signature milk tea was not a black tea I'm familiar with, and this is coming from a tea lover. Unfortunately, by the time I tried the drink, I had already left the area, so it wasn't worth it to return. I definitely won't be coming back to this bubble tea shop.

Eightfold Tea Shoppe is an aesthetic shop serving some up amazing loose leaf tea, matcha, and more! This spot is located in the same plaza where Target and Sprouts is but tucked more in the corner where the other small businesses are where there are a decent amount of parking spots. Inside, they about 3 tables for seating. They have an extensive menu with fruit teas, milk teas, matcha, coffee, and even a bakery section with Japanese cheesecakes! I opted for the pineapple paradise and could see them making it right in front of me with fresh fruit! The drinks here are refreshing and they have a cozy aesthetic! The staff here are very friendly and welcoming.

Love our experience at Eightfold Tea Shoppe this past weekend. The girl working was very efficient and was straightforward with us letting us know that the drinks were going to take a little bit longer than usual as there were several orders ahead of us and she was the only one at the moment. It was definitely worth the wait, the drinks were made to perfection; good balance with the tea taste and sweetness. We ordered the Earl grey cheese cream and mango swirl. Will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area.
