Craved Tea House

Great little boba ship if you ask me! The workers are good at what they do, the prices are reasonable and the drinks are amazing.
The shop is located across from Mile Square Park, providing a nice location to go to after a good nature run.
I highly recommend «The Cosmo.» It’s a flavored green tea and it tastes delicious!
Check them out!

Was looking for a boba shop to try after having lunch nearby and decided to come here. The place is really small and the line practically took up all the standing space there was. (The line wasn’t even that long).
I got the YOLO after seeing so many reviews about it and my bf got the Jasmine’s Kiss. The YOLO is pretty sweet, even for me, and I’m a sweet tooth. The pudding is really flaky and I didn’t particularly enjoy the texture. The boba is a little too hard. I think I would rather go to somewhere like Half & Half for a similar drink. The Jasmine’s Kiss tasted good to me when I tried it but he didn’t like it either.
Overall I wouldn’t come here again, although it’s possibly because I come from 626 where there are plentiful of good tea houses. I’m not too sure how boba places are around here but this place did not impress me whatsoever.

After I left the Bay area, I thought there would be nothing like ShareTea down in SoCal. But now, there is hope.
The boba and the milk tea itself are both so fresh tasting! The boba has just the right amount of give. And the milk tea is not too sweet! Don’t settle for the other chains around the area and go here!

Cashier girl wasn’t really friendly… She looked so bored and wasn’t very helpful with our drink order. Would it hurt to cracking a smile? Guess we didn’t get the other cashiers with good service everyone is talking about.
Got the Jasmine Kiss (OVERLY sweet, would not recommend unless you have a huge sweet tooth) and YOLO (pretty good, would get again).

The staff is really nice and the service is great! It’s in a more hidden plaza but that just makes parking a lot easier. I really enjoy coming here because the food is good and they go really well with the drink. It’s your classic boba shop. However, the seating indoors are pretty limited and the place is somewhat crammed so it’s not that great to sit down and hangout in.

Updated review:
This place keeps renovating and they no longer have a big seating area now it’s just a huge storage area for them :/​
And their milk tea has changed since I first tried them… no longer my favorite I’m so sad to say :(
OK. I am a milk tea fanatic. And I’m not even exaggerating. I think 60% of my blood has turned into milk tea.
Anyways this place certainly did not disappoint. There used to be a sad place here (sorry) called par tea on and at first when this place opened I wasn’t really sure. It’s not the best location but I’m so glad people have been noticing it because this place is awesome!
Great décor and customer service is wonderful! I’m a horrible decision maker but they let me try the milk tea (thank you gods). It tastes a little thin… like its not suppppper creamy or sugary which is a GOOD thing in my opinion.
I got milk tea for 2.50 and my bf got the choco mojo for 3.50 which kinda tastes like a chocolate Frostee but much more drinkable. He said it’s ok.
But to make such good milk tea. Props. I can’t wait to come back and try more.
OK HERE’S THE BEST PART. I almost had a heart attack. Actually it’s guaranteeing at least 10 million more visits for me. I’m scared to tell you because I don’t want it to get too popular and have it taken away but… ok. I’m. Ready. Are you???
MILK TEA refills within 2 hours for a dolla. HOLLLAAA
If that doesn’t get you dropping everything you’re doing to come here then I’m afraid we can’t be friends.
Half kidding.
Come try this place!

Matcha green tea latte is bomb when it’s cold as f. quick service and friendly staff is a plus

Solid place for some drinks!
It’s been a while since I’ve come back to Craved but I had forgotten how much I liked this place. The drink are great, can’t really go wrong with anything and the snacks are a nice surprise on top of it.
The only downside is the place is on the smaller side with the city forcing them to erect the walls but nothing has really changed aside from the new map rather than letting guests decorate all over it.
My go to drink has always been the Jasmine Kiss (Jasmine Milk Tea with Sea Salt)

Came here during a work lunch, the drinks however are lacking punch. I ordered a green milk tea, but it came out rather bland. I wish their tea was stronger instead of masking it up with sugar. Rather pricey as well for the size of the drink I got. Not sure if I didn’t order the right drink or not, but I will come back and try a different drink to see if its better.

I am a huge huge huge huge huge fan of the drinks here at Craved. I’m also a huge fan of their fries but this review is more of a 4.5 stars because their fryer has been broken for like two months and no progress on the fix which makes me sad. :(
Drinks: One thing that’s great about this place is that all the drinks come in a large-​ish size so you don’t really have a choice and the price is really decent for the nice size they’re giving you. My favorite drinks here are their fruit teas like Summer’s Breeze (which has actual watermelon in it!) and Cloud & Mistea. I’ve also tried their YOLO which I liked but is also really sweet so I only get it on occasion. Their thai tea slush is pretty decent too. I REALLY like the consistency of their boba because it’s always nice and chewy and sweetened perfectly. Overall, the drinks keep me coming back to this place again and again because they’re consistently good and priced so reasonably.
Food: I am a huge sucker for good fries and boy does Craved have good fries. I really like their garlic fries. In the past, I’ve gotten cajun fries which I found spiced way too much even though I got mild. Unfortunately, their fryer is broken every time I’ve come in lately (not sure if it’s fixed yet, I tried calling twice but they never pick up) so I can’t say much about their food right now. Hopefully it’s fixed soon because I’m really craving their fries.
Location: It’s located on the outside corner of a plaza. The parking in front of it is slightly limited and small. If you go around back there’s more parking but you have to walk a tiny bit. The inside is kind of small. I’m not sure what the heck that huge box of a room is doing on the inside of the store but it makes the store look so tiny. There’s only about two small tables on the inside, some seating on the outside. It’s usually not crowded when I go though so not a big deal. I also like that they have board games for people to play if you’re going to stay long. :)
The staff here is very nice and accommodating. They also have stamp cards! Overall, I’m a big fan of their drinks and I’m just waiting for their fryer to be fixed so I can have some garlic fries again!

Friendly environment
and a girl trixie made a bomb Thai tea frap!
Also the green tea or jasmine tea with lychee bits was amazing as well

Solid boba place in Fountain Valley.
It’s pretty small, about 3 – 4 tables crammed inside, but very clean/​colorful.
I’ll usually grab either a black milk tea or jasmine milk tea boba and leave satisfied. Very refreshing, not overtly sweet, and the boba comes out nice and soft/​chewy, with a slight hint of sweetness.
Prices are reasonable. And they have a whole slew of drinks with tried and true flavor combinations, reminds me of Volcano Tea House.

This place is very difficult to find as the sign on the front is not lit up.
The server is very friendly and helpful.
Ordered the avocado junkie with no added sugar and Jasmine’s kiss with no added sugar and added aloe vera. The Jasmine tea drink was super sweet but delicious.
Avocado junkie was super thick. The aloe added sweetness to it. This one def. needs sweetner. I’m glad I got the jasmine tea unsweetened since it’s sweet from the cream.
Nothing spectacular.

Was in the area and looked up «milk tea». This one was one of the highly rated ones so we came here. Got lost a bit because this location is on the corner behind the main plaza. We drove around for a bit before we found this place.
— Milk tea: wasn’t bad but not as sweet as I’m used to.
— Yolo: I liked it. Reminded me of Half & Half’s pudding drink.
— Honeydew milk tea (?): I think that’s what it was called. If you ever had a Melon bar from the Korean market, this is a melted version of that. Yummy…
— Garlic fries: Fries were cooked well… crispy like I like them. It was a tad spicy, but I think they asked us how spicy we wanted it.
Total came out to roughly $ 14. Not too bad for the size and quality of the drinks!
Plenty of parking once you find the place!

I have never liked flan in my boba drinks. I think it’s weird to drink flan… It’s so huge and ugh just weird. Weird weird…
Tell me why I picked the yolo drink and I actually liked it. I don’t even care for half & half’s flan drink but I ordered and liked this one.
Boba was chewy.
Seriously you pass my boba test. They have all the typical flavors too.
It’s super small so take your drink to go.

This place was a little difficult to find at first, but we were able to find parking with no problems. When I first walked in, I noticed how small and cramped this place was. On a busy day I can say that you should avoid this place if you’re at all claustrophobic. I ordered the thai tea slush with boba. It was pretty watery and not as sweet as I would have liked it to be. The boba was standard and lacking in flavor, though maybe that is because I have gotten used to the taste of honey boba that is offered at other locations. I also tried the avocado smoothie and that was nice and strong in avocado flavor. It was not at all overly sweet and had a good hint of condensed milk flavor.
Overall, Craved is a decent location to go to if you are in the area, but I can’t recommend this place over the other options in the area. I can’t say I am in any rush to come back.

My #1 go-​to, most favorite boba shop! It’s quick, cheap, and friendly!
Prices just recently went up. but I’d still come back! The amount of tea and milk are always on point. Not to mention sweetness level for me. Plus, I love how they only come in one size. It doesn’t make me guilty for ordering a large. you know what I mean. ha
I’m OBSESSED with their Whitey Thai Tea. No joke. I got it at least 3 times in a row one week. don’t judge guys! I’ve tried Thai Tea everywhere I go and this place has the best one (better than Seaside IMO). Every now and then, I also get the Jasmine’s Kiss, Yolo, or Avocado Junkie with less sugar and the sweetness level is perfect for me.
Can’t get enough! Yikes. I might even go after this review. My crave for craved is real :(

I like this place, it’s like a whole in the wall kind of tea shop, which I love. It doesn’t seem to get pack here and there’s no ABG hanging here (seem like other tea shop I have a I admit Living in garden grove is like living in the heart of boba shops central which means you either stand out from the crow or get lost in it. This place, in my personal opinion, is a place I can see myself coming back to and here is why.
1. It is a whole in the wall kind of shop because not everyone knows about it.
2. the prices are reasonable.
3. I really like their milk tea
4. their boba has a good consistency, not over or under cook.
5. their portion seem to be more than other places, which is a bonus.
I for their Jasmine milk tea and really love it! Their milk tea remind me of the ones made at boba guys in san francisco (one of my favorite tea shop). Overall, I would recommend this place.

As good as it gets!
Came back twice!
So far I’ve tried Cloud & Mistea, Serenitea, and Mighty Mango. These drinks are killers! Seriously love how they name their drinks, super creative and cute!
Boba is legibly boba, soft and chewy.
Service is always satisfying each time!
Will come back for more! :)

Craved is still my favorite go-​to boba place. The employees are friendly and some of them actually remember my drink and how I like it.
The drink menu is simple — one size — but more than enough. They have everything from shaken teas, milk teas and fresh blends, among other things. There is an abundance of toppings/​fillings and they even started a snacks menu.
I get the Avocado Junkie with boba about 95% of the time. I love how you can sorta customize your drink by asking them to hold the sugar — it helps you feel less guilty about indulging every now and then. The boba pearls here are perfectly chewy — not too soft, not too hard.
Free wifi here — ask them for the code. Make sure to pick up a frequent customer card which gives you a free drink after the 10^th drink.
The seating here is a bit interesting — I like how they had to creatively place chairs/​tables in the café — for those that are wondering, the city made them create that awkward storage closet that takes up half the place. When they first opened a few years back, the interior was very spacious. It’s great they have outdoor seating now too.
