"Iʻm from Hawaii so I was so happy to see that a 7 leaves still existed after pandemic! They make the best thai tea in my opinion but their vietnamese coffee is hands down so fresh and tasty. The employee was patient, funny & kind. He even gave us a sample lf the Holiday Peppermint Coffee Drink, sooo good! The place was still cute and cozy! Love it! Aloha!"

"7 Leaves Cafe is my go-to boba shop chain, but this particular review will be for the Costa Mesa location. Drinks: Almost all the boba drinks range from good up to awesome. This visit, we got a Vietnamese iced coffee and the seasonal Brazilian lemonade. The former was delicious; it has a slightly different flavor than traditional Vietnamese iced coffee, but it's still my go-to drink from 7 Leaves. We also got the Brazilian lemonade, which was tart but simultaneously sweet. A refreshing drink if you want a different style lemonade. Unfortunately, the prices continue to climb and that means I buy fewer and fewer drinks ... and they get a half star deducted from their overall rating. Service: The employees here were pleasant, competent, and friendly. Our cashier was happy to give us samples of the seasonal drinks and provided us background info. The Setting: Located in a strip mall not far from South Coast Plaza, this location is smaller than some other 7 Leaves. There are only 3 long tables, two of which have tall stools and one with traditional chairs. If it's super busy or you have a large party, it might be difficult to find enough open spaces. There is no outdoor seating. It's best for to-go orders, which is not good if you're looking for a cafe to chill at. Because of this, they get another half star deduction from their overall rating. Conclusion: 7 Leaves is a higher-quality boba shop that emphasizes quality teas and drinks over novelty flavors and sugary concoctions. All employees have always been polite and helpful. The same holds true at this location. Unfortunately it's on the smaller side, so it can't be a convenient hangout spot. Plus, the prices (following industry trends) are higher than should be. But overall, I enjoyed this cafe and would return when in the area."

"A chain boba shop that’s alright. The drink wasn’t amazing. Got grass jelly as the topping and it wasn’t great too. Asked for less ice but half the cup was ice. There was a promotion to get a lil scratcher to win something if you spend 10$. But for this price point, I’ve probably had better bubble tea. Service was quick and cashier was friendly. It was also a quiet spot with a few standing chairs."

"Small location. The parking lot can fill up quickly but it had spots available in the morning. I got the Regular Green Thai Tea with no ice and easy sweet. The drink still tasted good when I saved half for the day after. There's some seating and tables but not as many as I've seen at other locations."

"This is one of my favorite places to study late at night, and Brendan always makes the experience even better. His generosity and kindness really stand out, and it’s clear he goes the extra mile to brighten people’s day. I always leave feeling like I’ve had great service and a great atmosphere. One of the reasons why this is such a great spot to keep coming back to."
