Even amid a pandemic, bubble tea spots have continued to sprout up all over Orange County. Here are 10 of our favorite boba shops that have opened in the past two years.
Moozi Tea Bar
This women-owned boba shop is known for their Triple the Trouble fruit tea with peach, strawberry, and mango jasmine tea and topped with fresh fruit and rainbow jelly; their Matcha Swirl smoothie with cheese cream, and their Mangonada smoothie with chamoy, tajin, tamarind candy, and fresh mango. Garden Grove
Holy Sheep
The top three drinks at this adorable boba shop include the Brown Sugar Avalanche with boba and grass jelly, the Holy Sheep Fruit Tea with peach, lychee, and chia seeds, and The Holy Grail (house signature milk tea) with cheese foam. Feel free to customize your sweetness level. Anaheim, facebook.com/holysheeptea/
Tiger Sugar
Tiger Sugar is different than other boba shops because it primarily sells milk teas instead of fruit teas, and it’s known for its brown sugar bubble tea, which takes eight hours to make. The stripes of syrup running down the sides of each cup are what give the shop its name. Irvine, https://tigersugarec.com
Pink Pig
Across the street from UC Irvine, the popular new store has traditional milk teas and fresh fruit teas as well as unique flavors such as Nutella milk tea and passion avocado. The store also sells high quality gelato with flavors from espresso to ube. Irvine, https://www.instagram.com/pinkpigirvine

They have everything from banana chocolate milk tea to a sparkling sunrise mocktail, and their drinks are known for being lightly sweetened. Specialty drinks include the Afternoon at Sicily with lemon and espresso. Irvine, https://en.soma-drinks.com
