If you love boba drinks and want a Vietnamese twist that is yummy and reasonably priced, check out 7 Leaves. I've been to several of their locations, but this review will focus on my recent visit to the Garden Grove shop on Euclid Street.
The Drinks:
It offers a good selection of different drinks without being overwhelming, ranging from coffees and teas to juice and off-menu concoctions. I ordered the house special, a Vietnamese-style iced coffee brewed the 7 Leaves way. (Note: They do have a separate Vietnamese iced coffee that has a more traditional taste.)
The Service:
The team here is fast, polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. They did mess up on my drink — I asked for no ice so I could have it at home without it being watered down, but my drink had ice in it. However, they were apologetic and came out with the correct order in a couple of minutes.
The Location:
It's located in a small strip mall beside a Subway and T-Mobile store. Parking in front of the store is limited and can get filled up quickly, especially during peak times. Fortunately, it shares a large parking lot with a nearby church, so most people head there and walk the roughly 20 yards over. Inside, there are several tables and chairs and people often hang out here or bring homework to study.
The Conclusion:
If you're looking for Taiwanese boba, you might be disappointed. But if you want a Vietnamese twist on this Asian drink, you'll love 7 Leaves as much as I do.
