Sunright Tea Studio - Irvine — Restaurant in Irvine

I recently visited Sunright Tea Studio and sampled three of their popular drinks: Taro Boba Tea, Matcha Strawberry, and Boba Milk Tea with Cheese Foam & Cream Brûlée. Each drink was exceptional, boasting rich, well-balanced flavors and perfect textures. The Taro Boba Tea had a smooth, creamy consistency, while the Matcha Strawberry offered a refreshing blend of earthy and fruity notes. The Boba Milk Tea with Cheese Foam & Cream Brûlée was a delightful indulgence, combining sweet and savory elements in every sip.

📌One thing to note is that the customer service was a bit slow, but the staff made up for it with their kindness and politeness. They were attentive and ensured we had a pleasant experience despite the wait.

☘️A unique and fun aspect of Sunright Tea Studio is their suggestion to shake your beverage 17 times before drinking it. This isn't just a quirky gimmick; it's their tried-and-true method for blending flavors and textures perfectly. Plus, it encourages you to take a moment to savor a happy moment, which is a lovely touch.

🍵Sunright Tea Studio embodies the sunny vibes and diverse culture of Southern California. They take pride in sourcing high-quality ingredients and preparing their drinks with great care and intention. The studio offers a welcoming space to share time with family and friends, perfect for an afternoon tea or a casual hangout. The creative product line reflects the free spirit of California, making each visit feel special.

🧋Overall, Sunright Tea Studio offers not just great drinks, but a delightful experience that brightens your day. I highly recommend...

White peach oolong cheese w honey boba (50% sugar, less ice):

Oh my goooooddddddd. The cheese here is the best I've ever had anywhere. It's more like a sweet cream rather than a cheese which makes it so muchhh better!!!! Just try it! The white peach oolong at 50% sweetness isn't too bad. I think because of the boba and the cheese it makes it perfectly balanced. Honey boba is nice and sweet and the boba itself kind of has a tea flavor.

Strawberry matcha latte w boba:

Ooo. The strawberry purée is very good, not too sweet and blends well with the matcha. You can't adjust the sweetness or ice level for this drink but that's fine because it's perfect t the way it is. It isn't too sweet or too bitter. The regular boba is brown sugar boba and it doesn't have that weird raisin-y taste that some brown sugar bobas have. Great!!! One thing is the texture for the boba could be softer although the texture is better than the honey boba. The size and sweetness is perfect though! The texture for the honey boba isn't as soft and it gets firmer faster than the regular boba, not sure why.

Taro boba milk (less ice):

Pretty good! The brown sugar boba tastes awesome and works well w the milk. The taro is not as sweet or soft as other places but it's obviously fresh and natural which is great. I definitely would try it again with tea

Strawberry jasmine w honey boba (less ice):

Super refreshing! Honey boba works better w fruity drinks imo. The strawberry and jasmine are perfectly balanced and 100% sweet isn't too sweet but for health reasons I'd probably try...

I’ve been to Sunrise Tea Studios many times, and I’ve always been impressed by their drinks. This is my first visit to this particular location, and while it’s a bit different from their others in terms of ambiance, the quality of the drinks is still top-notch. I’m a big fan of their strawberry matcha and Oreo brulee – they never disappoint.

At this location, you order through a kiosk, which adds a unique, self-service touch. It’s convenient, and they accept Apple Pay or card, but cash doesn’t seem to be an option. The staff is helpful, but they mainly stay behind the scenes, only engaging when they call out your name for order pickup. It’s a bit more streamlined and efficient, which some might appreciate.

The seating area inside is limited, so I’d recommend this spot more for quick stops or to-go orders rather than large gatherings or long hangouts with friends. It’s a bit more utilitarian in terms of space, but overall, the drinks and service are still great, making it a solid choice for those looking to grab a delicious...
