Sharetea -- Fountain Valley -- 7/19/2026 & 7/20/2026

B Tier ☆Boba: 4.1 out of 5 boba is soft and has a good chew but it kinda depends on the day plus the mini boba is too soft unfortunately (but bonus they have mini boba :D ) ☆Drinks: 4.7 out of 5 Mango Green Milk Tea Halo Halo yeahh I went 2 days in a row solely because they have a halo halo drink like no one else has that :D mango milk tea never does me wrong and sharetea has a really good one that has like a slight unique taste in terms of tartness their take on halo halo is just taro milk tea with like every topping (basically their golden retriever but that is classic milk tea and i think like only 3 toppings instead of all of them lol) drinks are good here at 50% sweetness but aren't horribly sweet at default sweetness either ☆Atmosphere: 4.5 out of 5 standard boba shop vibes like this is a boba shop ☆Overall: 4.5 out of 5 chill place but i remember like so many years ago i heard their management sucked and it kinda sucked to work here so i hope it's better now :/ menu is pretty big and you can't really go wrong with any drink service is quick and if there's ever a line it's usually not a long wait to order but it might be longer to get a drink (not abnormal or bad at all) there's a lot of seating and the space is definitely not small

Heuk Hwa Dang -- Koreatown LA -- 6/9/2026

B Tier ☆Boba: 3.9 out of 5 Boba isn't as soft as I remember, this place used to be A tier but the boba was not as ideal a texture as before Not much of a qq texture anymore ☆Drink: 4.4 out of 5 Rose milk tea is good! Their drinks seem to often have stuff blended in like in espresso smoothie there's coffee bean bits and the rose milk tea has bits of dried edible roses ☆Atmosphere: 4.8 out of 5 Really nicely decorated and spacious shop Lots of seating available and has a cute korean cafe kind of vibe like in vlogs Cool space and vibe is definitely a plus really great for hangouts Underground - entrance on sideways like a typical shop and it's a wide space that has different levels for seating and leading to the counter I should have taken pictures, I forgot :P -- i added one now, maybe i'll remember to take more the next next time i go :Q ☆Overall: 4.5 out of 5 Really good drinks Unique drinks Huuge menu Parking sucks since less space in the city and parking needs to be validated plus time limit for parking validation - Right across from the d line train station though

THE ALLEY -- Fountain Valley -- 5/15/2026

A Tier ☆Boba: 4.7 out of 5 one of the OG brown sugar bobas around here boba is like pretty close to perfect qq texture, just on the smaller side ☆Drink: 4.8 out of 5 ube brown sugar creme brulee boba milk (long names lmaoo) and i got it with oatmilk sweet by default, but not sickly sweet, and server told me the sweetness came from the boba so any adjustment would affect the amount of boba really good drink and one of the best creme brulee topping (they were like the OG of it or one of) ube flavor is really good which is a plus, ube flavored drinks/foods vary a lot for some reason, but the Alley is one of the ones that do it well ☆Atmosphere: 4.3 out of 5 empty and spacious things are being stored near the front of the store now the seats are in the back and that area looks nice/standard trendier boba shop seating the nicest looking area is honestly the counter and the space behind that is kinda nice with the plants ☆Overall: 4.5 out of 5 service is quick and helpful menu is bigger now but not really varied so the drinks are more so the same base and just different toppings (i.e. not a lot of different flavored fruit teas, milk teas, plain teas, blended drinks, etc) atmosphere/vibe isn't bad it just feel more vacant now and like they don't expect people to stay since so many things are being stored in the front drinks are more on the expensive side (drinks are around 7.95, basically $8, by default, but the drinks often come with toppings already || oatmilk/soymilk is extra $.50) kiosk ordering
