Tea, Snow & Coffee

All the Asian drinks here are great and even though its a long drive for us we never mind making it when we have a craving for some boba or dessert.

I usually stop by after eating or shopping in the Mekong plaza so the convenience is really awesome. They have a few selections of Vietnamese Che with American names so its always great for dessert and some flavors other boba places don’t usually have like mung bean tea. The staff is real nice too and the guy that shouts the drinks makes sure you don’t forget your order.

I love making a stop here whenever we do a Mekong visit! In comparison to snoh on Camelback, I love how the snoh here is creamy with every bite and not dry towards the bottom. I also love that try hook it up with the toppings so there is definitely enough to share!
We recently got the pistachio snow with condensed cream, strawberries, and lychee jelly– it was delicious with every bite!
Each time we go I try something new and have no been disappointed!
The only thing is that I wish the A/​C was turned on a little lower because it was very humid in there especially now that it is going above the 100’s now…
We will keep coming back for sure!

I enjoyed the large shaved snow dessert. Mango and green tea shaved snow with Lychee and Mochi toppings. Pretty sweet and tasty. I didn’t need to add any more syrup or condensed milk. The large can be eaten by 4 adults.

Horrible service. Took forever. Asked for our order. They kept it in the freezer. Claimed to keep calling us. Handed us our order. Wasn’t even the correct order. And they made the Taiwanese ice cream look really sloppy.

They use real fruit and for me that is a huge plus! The lychee jellies are hard and way too sweet, so stay away from those. Honey boba is the way to go. The boba is sweet and chewy, and the soursop smoothie is the best! The employees are also very nice.

I like their milk teas, their honey boba are great too. They’re in the Mekonh Plaza, like the Vietnamese areas in California.

BEST BOBA PLACE EVER. Seriously I want to work my way through every flavor– this place is heaven

My wife and I get Thai dessert whenever we are in the area. The snow and smoothies are amazing.
The service and quality are awesome and anytime we get a chance, we want to stop by and get a dessert.

Good location and good drinks. Prices are reasonable and there is so drinks much to pick from, including the traditional milk tea and the typical Thai tea. I especially liked their mung bean milk tea. However, I didn’t really enjoy the Vietnamese iced coffee. This will not keep me away. I’ll be back to try their penny worth drink!

The milk tea here is decent and you can definitely taste the tea in it. Unfortunately, the boba was a little on the hard side. When the boba isn’t good, it’s hard to enjoy the rest of the drink.
The coconut cream and grass jelly was no bueno. It looks better than it tastes. The grass jelly is good but I’m sure that comes from a can. Grass jelly usually isn’t made in boba tea stores. What would be a much better drink is coconut MILK (instead of cream) and grass jelly — now that would be dank. The coconut cream does not mix well with the grass jelly and it comes off too sweet. The texture is off. Coconut milk, guys… coconut milk.
The shaved snow here is very underwhelming. Again, it looks better than it tastes. The texture is a little gritty and is just off-​putting.

This place is still a solid 3 for boba drinks. I ordered a Jasmine milk tea it was overly sweet and the tea had an ashy taste to it. I guess there was a language barrier because when my order came out it was just Jasmine tea. I reserve this place when Im just desperate for Boba & miss CA or hot days in AZ like today. Kudos to their staff for customer service the guy opened the door for me when I was holding a ton of groceries.

This cozy place is situated inside Mekong Plaza, and it is pretty hard to miss. The menu has a wide variety of options to choose from ranging from hot teas to iced slushies. The décor was trendy and modern with lots of bright, attracting colors. The place seats about 22 people and can fill up easily. Fortunately, I hit them at an I busy time. Unfortunately, they somehow forgot my order entirely, and after 15 minutes, I had to remind them of my existence. They were prompt in fixing the mistake, however.
I always base my enjoyment of boba tea spots on the tastiness of their original boba milk tea, and they nailed it. I got the large for a little over $ 4, and it was worth it. The tea was perfectly sweet. It had a very pleasant undertone reminiscent of coffee. The boba was chewy and exactly how I expected, no surprises here.
Overall, the tea was your standard affair, but the service left a bittersweet taste in my mouth.

Never before I have stumbled upon such a delight of a hidden gem. I was wandering the area in search of desert and my map suggested Tea Snow. Never having tried this place, the sweet girl behind the counter made some recommendations about what items were most popular. I ended up selecting a small green tea ice cream with green tea mochi and mango pieces and a «house cocktail» drink. Firstly, I thought the prices were a little costly– but the amount of ice cream they give you is well worth the price. The person ahead of us ordered a medium ice cream for him, his wife and four toddlers. The price also includes two toppings. The house cocktail boba tea drink was mostly fruit. It was really chunky with pieces of lychee– but still rated great.

Good varieties of boba drinks. And they serve other desserts or snacks too. There are drinks here that I haven’t seen anywhere else. The décor is pretty inviting and you can hang out with your friends in this bright color place and drinking boba.
They also have other toppings besides boba. I had the grass jelly coconut ice tea and that was pretty good. There are enough options to keep you coming back to try more. What’s best is that it’s in Mekong and you can come here after lunch or dinner for a relaxing time.
Or buy a drink for the road.

Conveniently located in Mekong Plaza, guess where we stopped by for an impromptu dessert stop after getting some dim sum! Reasonably priced with a large variety of drinks, I got myself a taro milk tea with boba and it cost me just $ 3.75! I should have just gone with the large. It was so good but I absolutely hate how the ice traps the boba when you’re done gulping down your drink, but that’s no fault of theirs. Or maybe it is, cause if the tea wasn’t so delicious, well I wouldn’t have gulped it down and had this problem, would I? Hmmm… Oh and apparently they sell this snow dessert too, which I’ve only had at Snoh’s Ice Shavery in the past, so next time I stop by, I might give that a try!
On a side note, I really wish I had painted my nails purple to match my taro milk tea. Maybe add a couple black dots of nail polish to the tips of my nails so each nail looks like a cup of boba tea. I digress.

I’ve had a few great visits here and a few mediocre visits. The lack of consistency in their service and product is disappointing. Sometimes the service is really fast and friendly. Other days, things are chaotic and slow. On a good day, their Vietnamese Coffee is worth the drive. Their teas and smoothies can be quite nice too.

This place might just be one of my favorites to get dessert.
A few of my friends were having cravings for something sweet on a Friday night, so we decided to try Tea, Snow & Coffee for something new. There were tons of people inside, so we figured that there must be a reason for this place to be so popular, and there was.
Note, this is the first time I ever tried shaved snow, and I fell in love. I don’t know how they make the shaved snow, but it had a texture that was thicker than regular ice cream; it was almost sticky, but in a good way. Two toppings can be chosen with the order — I ordered the taro shaved snow with a strawberry topping. The cashier gave me double the amount of strawberries — I was really happy about that. To top it off, the prices are very reasonable.
The location around this shop has lots of Asian-​related markets, including Phở, an Asian market, an Asian bakery, and lots more. I highly suggest trying this place!

Mom and I have tried a few slushy flavors (taro, durian*, soursop*, and blueberry*), and they’ve all tasted very good! We do wish there were more chunks of fruit in these… Mom really likes the durian, while my favorite is the soursop– can’t wait to return and order it again! :) If you try the blueberry, which is made with real blueberries, you may want to ask for no sugar added– the original version they gave me was TOO sweet– ugh! (And if you’ve read my reviews, you know I like my sweet breakfasts and treats, so I’m not against sugar at all.) The unsweetened version was perfect for me.
The staff is comprised of teens and a few young adults, and a few are friendly. Most are eager to please and are helpful with samples to help you make up your mind on which milk tea to try– not all teas are available to sample, just a handful. I try to tip a buck, or two every visit, and some of them say thank you, while others just stand there, waiting on the next customer.
Will order soursop and mung bean on my next visit!
p. s. The grass jelly taste so good! I was able to sample the basil seed and grass jelly drink, and I like the grass jelly and liquid components; The basil seeds I can do without. I wonder what pennywort tastes like?
Durian with boba, and blueberry shushies–
Soursop, my favorite!
*We detected real fruit bits in these drinks.

Cheap and yes, they carry Tea, Snow & Coffee– just as they have advertised.
Was craving a Mung Bean Milk Tea, because 7 Leaves Café in Tustin, California makes a mean mung bean that leaves you wanting more.
Ordered a regular size ~ $ 2.75 for a milk tea with (honey) pearls. The drink came out in a larger size and rather quickly, oh gosh! Tbh, it wasn’t as good as 7 Leaves because they add pandan to it and TS&C had a more grainy-​bean texture to it from the blending of Mung Bean. Which at least is indicative that they use real mung bean in their drinks, just wish it was a tad bit sweeter and filtered a bit more finely. The pearls were cooked well, but not as sweetened as I had hoped.
4 stars for even carrying Mung Bean MT (seriously, try to find a place that does … then PM me), great workers, fast service and cheap prices for boba. Their menu is also looking a bit extensive which means tons of variety! Plus, when you’re done with the boba there’s coffee and snow left to try too!
