This place has about as many rumors as it does leaves. What’s the secret recipe to their coffee. Apparently the staff doesn’t know. The cook’s come in separately and make it. I’ve even tried the whole allergy questions. Nothing. I’m all for intrigue and mystery. It makes the stomach grow fonder, right? Working by the airport I’m probably one of the few people who would actually got o FV or GG to get this on my lunch break. I mean literally that’s how much better their house coffee is that 85 which is a few minutes away. I’ll taken an hour or more for this. I no longer get coffee from 85 after I was introduced to 7 leaves. Small, like all the other locations. This place takes card, unlike other locations. Parking is bad, just like all the other locations. They aren’t really packed, but always busy. Wait times are respectable, never more than like 10 minutes. Love the to go carriers and bags, clean menu could use some relocation with the glare. Love the punch card and the friendly service. I’ve been here a half dozen times since they opened and haven’t yet tried the food. Indoor and outdoor seating, it’s not a starbucks to hangout at. The House Special coffee probably has crack in it, it’s that good, makes Starbucks and 85 taste like poop. That exact quote has been said by multiple people in my office. The seafoam topped #3 is good also. I have yet to try any of the tea’s because I’m not a tea person, but if I lived closer I’d certainly bring lady friends here on non dates.

Absolutely love love LOVE this place for so many reasons! For starters, the drinks here are dirt cheap compared to all the other places Ive ever been to. I usually come here to get my caffeine fix in with either their House Coffee or Vietnamese Coffee but sometimes my inner fat kid will surface and youll catch me ordering a Mung Bean drink on the side too, yes all for myself and not the girlfriend, dont judge me people! When I do get any of their coffee, I always end up asking for 6 shots put in my drinks and all that caffeine goodness comes included in the price you see listed on their menu. Until recently, Ive only come in to get their drinks but this past weekend a buddy of mine came up to visit from SD so the girlfriend and I took him here, being it would be his first time and all. It was this visit when we tried out some of their macarons. Now, Im not a macaron connoisseur, but for $1.50 each I was very satisfied with the texture and taste. The girlfriend and I both shared a pistachio and a sea salt caramel macaron, and both of them left us smiling and wide-eyed on how amazed we were by the goodness!

Before this was 7 Leaves this was Fusion Tea and Fusion Tea was pretty good. Can not explain why they closed but thats not the case. As someone mentioned there is "limited" menu which is pretty good because then youll have people hold up the line and when I went it was the beginning of a rush. There was 2-3 people working and they were super friendly and helpful. We order taro milk tea with boba and a jasmine tea with sea cream. It came to about $12 total, which is the average. The taro milk tea tasted as if taro was liquefied, tasted like the real deal. What blew my mind was the jasmine tea; that was bombtastic!! The jasmine was steeped so perfectly and the sea cream turned it into such a wonderful summer-drink treat. This place is promising and when I come back to visit the OC I know Ill be swinging by here again. NOTE: The employees there are eager to answer your questions and when I came it was two lovely guys who did a fantastic job getting everyones orders. ^^

7 Leaves is a small chain that started in Westminster. It offers a number of various, high-quality teas, all of which can be sampled before buying. My go-to is the jasmine milk tea, but the green tea comes highly recommended as well. These drinks tend to be on the sweet side, and while you can customize the sweetness of most drinks, it can still be present. The quality of the boba is consistently and reliably firm and sweet but not overly so. Parking is available most times as it is located in a large plaza, but the lot can fill up quickly for the dinner rush Friday-Sunday because of the popularity of neighboring businesses. Service is excellent, and they do have a stamp card that offers a free regular drink with an add-on after purchasing 9 drinks. They also sell drink vouchers for gifting purposes. Service is friendly and quick, even if there is a large line. Highly recommended.

I love this spot and here is why in laymen terms, 1. Simple choices not a ton of fancy options. 2. Speed of services is ridiculous, as in FAST. 3. NO TAX (Say what) or they include it in the very even cost of $3 for a regular. 4. Unique flavor and an option for sweet or strong (house or Viet) the "whipped cream" is actually sea cream and absolutely amazing in the Viet coffee, which you have to ask for as only the house coffee comes with sea cream. 5. Stamp card where I get free drinks for being a regular I would recommend anyone go here and try this place! ONE TIP: Ask for Light Ice, not always but one out of every three drinks I get there (when I forget to say light ice) is about 3/4 ice and the rest coffee LITERALLY being like 4-5 medium sips. Always sooo depressing when it happens leaving me feeling a little jipped but that would be my only complaint

Popped in for some boba tea with a friend visiting. She missed this place tremendously after moving away from Cali and was craving the Vietnamese coffee. I wasnt a huge fan of that drink...and opting to try something new, I was about to order the sea cream and was told it has a salty taste....meh, no thanks. I ended up ordering the strawberry hibiscus tea and it was good and refreshing. My stars were strictly because there was nothing over the top amazing for me here. Im more in to the fruit variety of teas...and this place had a limited selection that what Im used to. The service was nice and really fast, despite the fact that there was a long line that began forming out the door on a Sunday afternoon.

Heard of this place a while ago, but never checked it out until now. I got the sea cream jasmine tea. Wow, this was good. When I first came and saw the price ($3.25), I expected a pretty standard small size for the drink. BUT NO, it was quite large for the regular. Definitely made me happy to see this drink because I was getting my moneys worth. In addition, the tea quality is wonderful and not too sweet and artificial tasting like some other places. The sea salt was done well to not overpower the tea either. Also, they did not charge extra when I asked for no ice. Definitely will be coming back here.

7 leaves has a nice small menu of drinks in which they are very good at making! They used to have snacks like the popcorn chicken and fries but sadly they took them off the menu. I actually thought the snacks were really good too! My favorite drink is the Sea Cream Jasmine Tea. Its not too sweet and has a hint of saltiness with the cream. The tapioca has a nice chewy texture and doesnt taste hard and frozen like some other places Ive tried. You cant go wrong with ordering any of the other drinks either! Wish they still had the snacks.
