TBaar

This place has changed its sign since the older reviews. I ordered a pear boba with 50% sweetness - and that was a big mistake. It tasted like liquid grass.I honestly didn’t expect it to taste so bad, so don’t make the same mistake I did! Either don’t get the pear flavor, or don’t reduce the sweetness, otherwise it’ll be really unpleasant, not just “not for everyone,” but genuinely bad. Overall, I still think it’s a good place: everything looks clean and tidy, and they have a wide variety of drinks. Update: I ordered fresh orange green tea with 50% sweetness. It was better than pear, but I am totally sure now. DON'T REDUCE SWEETNESS!

Nice drinks for reasonable prices. The servers were very friendly and helpful. I had dragon fruit smoothie, and it was made with fresh dragon fruit. This place has double sided cup for two different drinks side by side for one serving. Kids liked it. Boba was fresh and chewy. Good stuff.

New tea place at The Source shopping center. They have a big menu with lots of choices. One page is for the smoothies and the other side is for all other drinks. We had the dragon fruits tea and Brown Sugar Milk. Even with 1/4 sugar, the dragon fruit tea is still very sweet but at least fruit taste fresh. The boba for Brown Sugar Milk was pretty good, chewy and soft inside. Overall, not much surprise but another average tea spot.

LOVE LOVE LOVE This place. I got the strawberry pineapple coconut smoothie and it was AMAZING!! I also had a few other drinks before and they never disappoint!!

Just went yesterday 1/17/26 and booth was emptied out. Maybe they went out of business for this location? :/

Amazing drinks I love the selection. The customer service is spot on. The team that works there are amazing. Positive attitude awesome personalities. They make the experience easy and comfortable. they are very knowledgeable of each drink. They work together beautifully so they get out drinks quite quickly. I've been there when it was insanely busy and they all held together everyone left happy. I love it there. Also they have a point system there they have solid Rewards.

Cool little spot within The Source food court. I ordered the Amazing Milk Black Tea with no adjustment to ice and sugar level and the drink was just right. The tea flavor was there and it's sweet but not at all overwhelming like Share Tea. I'll definitely come back to try different flavors.

my first time trying this place and i loved it so much! thank you tbaar! ᵔᴗᵔ

This place is located in the big Korean mall in the area. It's on the top floor in the food court, you just order at the counter and take your drink elsewhere. They have a variety of fruit drinks but they don't seem to be serving the cakes anymore, which is what I originally came here for. I got a passionfruit smoothie and a grapefruit tea. Both were tasty and fresh, and came out fresh. I do like the location because you can go get doughnuts or pastries at the stand next door while you're waiting for your drink. The mall also has free parking and a ton of restaurant options which is great. I definitely recommend this place if you're just walking around and need a quick fruity pick me up. There's a ton of options in the area but this is a good one.

Ordered the Brown Sugar Boba, Matcha, Milk Tea with Boba, & Peach Oolong Green Tea with Mango Stars The drinks were made well and the staff was friendly I really enjoyed my Peach Oolong Green Tea - so refreshing! The Mango Stars were a nice addition too

Located inside the Buena Park Source Mall within the top floor food court. This is mostly a fresh juice and tea shop with a variety of unique flavors (like watermelon lemonade, fruit milk teas, and different fruit smoothies. The service was quick and easy as I was able to just walk up and order. I had the fruity dragon fruit smoothie and my friend had one of the lemonade. If you are into sweet tasting smoothies, the fruity dragon fruit will not be like that. I was surprised that the smoothie was basically a blended up dragon fruit (it was refreshing and I didn't feel guilty about having it). The lemonade as a warning will be extremely sour! Overall very nice stop to visit! Plenty of places to eat at, hang out with friends, and watch a movie at the CGV theater.

1. The drink was a little sweet, but it was still delicious and refreshing! 2. The spot had fun casual vibes since it is located inside a foodcourt of an outdoor mall! 3. There are plenty of indoor tables as well as outdoor tables nearby! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! 5. There is a free parking structure nearby! Note: There is a public restroom nearby in the food court! Photo: Mixed Berry Mojito

Located in the food court, ordered four drinks. We got Brown Sugar Tea (L-$6.25), Thai Iced Tea (L-$6), Strawberry G.T. Milk Foam (L-$6.95), and Brown Sugar Matcha (L-$6.50). Boba is an extra $0.65 for certain drinks, I ordered boba along with the strawberry drink but the employee that helped me ( J ) did not add it and I didn't catch the mistake until after the drink was made so he charged us an extra $0.70 to give us the boba in a cup and put in ourselves. Total for everything came out to around $30, drinks also took quite awhile to make but he was the only employee working. Wasn't the best boba I've had but was nice to try, probably wouldn't come back again.

The tea here isn't the best unfortunately. We tried two different milk teas and a pineapple fresh fruit tea which tasted too much like non dairy creamer. We all ended up throwing our drinks away. I would suggest improving the tea quality and maybe using less of the non dairy creamer or giving the option of regular milk instead. I don't think we'd give this place another try.

TBarr was kind of a disappointment. They are known for their many various flavors of boba drinks, juices, millie cakes, smoothies and lemonades. I came with a few people for an after lunch treat. I got their Brown Sugar Bubble Tea which already included boba. I got it 50% sweet and the sweetness level was just right. However, the boba in the drink was not very good. The tea also tasted really basic. The person I came with got their Brown Sugar Bubble milk which they said tasted more like just milk. TBarr is located inside the food court on the 3rd floor of The Source.

I got the brown sugar matcha boba!! It was very good and had almost the right amount of sweetness (I didn't change the sweetness level, just 50% ice) -- I think I would've preferred it just a bit sweeter, but I like that they added a good amount of matcha in the drink. I also got the mango mille crepe cake slice. It was very good: it tasted moderately of mangoes with mango chunks, and was sweet, slightly tart. It was expensive, though, at $8.25 a slice, and I feel like it could've been a bit bigger for that price. I definitely want to come back and try some of their smoothies and their matcha mille crepe cake, though! Service was relatively quick for how busy it was! We went around lunchtime, and this place is in a food court at The Source! It's in The Grub on the third floor (4th floor for anyone taking the elevator in the parking lot). It was quite loud and busy but they're really good at calling out your number.

This is one of the first spots you see when you enter the food court on the third floor. It seems like their main focus is their green drinks but my date wanted something healthy so here we are, trying something new. I tried to find the tastiest non-green drink here and settled with their advertised Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea. The drink itself wasn't a bad drink, although it wasn't anything memorable, I did not regret getting it. However, the normal sizing is tiny especially for the price!

That is located on the 3rd floor food court in The Source in OC. I got the sea salt milk foam and my bf got the mango pineapple smoothie. The smoothie was good, the fruits were fresh and delicious. The smoothie texture was good too. I didn't know the sea salt milk foam would default to green tea, I would've preferred black tea but it's good. The milk foam is more like cheese foam, and it was really thick. Good if you like to eat the foam, but didn't mix well with the drink. I had to really shake it to combine it with the tea. Overall not bad, I didn't get boba so I can't judge that.

The crepe cakes were fresh and delicious!! The mango cake has fresh real mangoes inside and strong mango flavor. The brown sugar milk tea was also good, but sweet enough at 50% sugar. Service was pretty fast, and there's a nice large seating area in the food court where this place is located.

Wife and I got some Tbaar drinks to sneak in the movies. She got orange green tea while I got the lychee lime green tea. Unfortunately for me, her tasted much better than mine. The lychee lime had a weird aftertaste, while her orange green tea tasted like they squeezed real oranges in there. Overall though this place usually delivers high quality drinks, so just have been a bad choice on my part.

*4.5* Good Fruit Tea selection & more, solid flavor. Not sure about the dried fruit pieces that are included with some, but that's an easy fix. Was happy to see mixed fruit jelly as a topping choice. Prices are reasonable, portions are decent. Walk up counter in a food court; space was clean, enticing visuals. Service was fast & friendly.

Smoothie was good , but I ordered a cup of fresh mango, and it wasn't ripe. I don't appreciate that because you can very well tell while cutting if it's ready or not . Just seems like a place that just cares about money and not the quality of their product. Really what am I supposed to do with this hard mango ?

This shop have so many amazing drinks options from fresh fruit to fresh squeezed drinks to smoothies. They also offer crepes and fresh fruits cups. Ordered Fresh Passion Fruit tea It is Jasmine green tea based filled with fruits and jelly bits. I wasn't sure if the sugar level option was available for this drink. It tasted half bitter and sweet. It was okay drink. The service was fast and the staff was good. It is located on the 3rd floor food court at the Souce mall. The place is cool. I would like to try other varieties next time.

Solid for fruit smoothies and efficient service. However the food court they are in leaves a bit to be desired, at least in the evenings-- seems like a bit too few seats and not enough light or character. So a bit lacking.

Very authentic 100% fruit or greens drinks. Healthy and delicious. It's a very small part of a food court at The Source OC. The service is great. The location is a food court so it can get pretty noisy. Sometimes the fruits are too sweet and sometimes not very sweet. It really depends on the fruit.

This place is okay, nothing special. I think I'd rather get a drink here than at Gong Cha. But I usually go to Ding Tea downstairs. I do like their little cup lid stopper though. I hope they bring more cafés into the Source.

Service is decent. A bit pressure-inducing because of the line during the weekend, but the cashier person tries their best answering questions. Partner and I ordered: 1) Amazing Milk Tea (25% sweet, boba) 2) Oolong Green Milk Tea (25% sweet, boba, less ice) We were both disappointed with the quality/taste of the tea. Tea flavor was lacking. Feels like we spent $6 on drinking water. As for the boba, pretty normal, and average. Would I come here again? Maybe not. Would I come here due to convenience? Sure. What would you recommend here? The smoothies.

It's inside the food court on the 4th floor of The Source OC. There's a huge menu of drinks available. It's a little overwhelming to go through but there's so many choices that there's a drink for everyone. I got the Lychee Lime Green Tea and it was perfect on a hot day. The drinks came out quickly.

Been here a few times and get their mango lemonade which is refreshing during summer but does have a bit of an artificial mango flavor. I tried their strawberry smoothie and it was overbearingly sweet and tasted of no frozen or fresh strawberries I think they use a jam or syrup to make it.

Tasted mediocre. The dragonfruit tea felt like it had artificial sweeteners in it. Not a fan. Didn't taste refreshing. Cant comment on the green tea as it was for my SO.

Ordered lychee lime green tea and orange green tea. Unfortunately the lychee lime green tea tasted synthetic and super sweet, no good. It tasted like the juice from canned lychee or the bottom of a sugary lychee jelly can. The orange green tea was delicious and fresh!

Expensive for the quality, mediocre taste. My drink was almost $7, and it was just a watermelon lemonade with a topping. The regular sweet tasted mostly like water

Pretty nice juice bar that makes your drink right in front of you so you can see what fruits they use. Ordered the Vitamin 123 which is orange, apple, and carrot and thought it was very tasty. Would have preferred for it to be cold, but it was closer to room temperature.

This place really hit the spot on a hot Cali summer day. They have a wide variety of drinks - something for everyone or every mood. You can get something light and refreshing like the oolong and green teas lightly sweetened or something decadent like a red bean smoothie or brown sugar milk tea. Or something extra healthy like the green smoothies. I haven't tried their crepe cakes but they also carry some as well with fun flavors like ube. They're located in the food court of the source mall which makes it a great location to stop by before, after, or in between other fun activities there. The drinks came out really fast and I really enjoyed my four season green tea!

Location: The third floor of The Source, which is an outdoor shopping mall on the corner of Beach Boulevard and Orangethrope. Getting there: Entrance to the parking garage is on Beach Boulevard. You can also use the back entrance on Brenner Avenue. There's a good amount of spaces but finding a close spot can be challenging. Thankfully it's free, except for the Tesla chargers. Park on Level 4 if you're specifically visiting Tbaar. Vibe: It's inside a food court. You order at the register and pick up your drink at the counter on the right side when it's ready. There are several chairs and tables all throughout The Source, both inside and outside. Menu: Your typical milk teas, brewed teas, oolong teas, foam teas, and smoothies. The mojitos are unique, non-alcoholic I assume though. Ice and sugar levels are adjustable except for their 100% juice series, which does not have added ice or sugar. Toppings were 50 cents additional. Black Milk Tea with Boba: Pleasantly creamy and silky. Tea flavor was present and the adjusted sweetness level (75%) matched expectations. They are generous with the toppings, my drink came with a lot of boba. Consistency was kind of soft and the size of the tapioca spheres was smaller than I personally prefer. Passion Fruit Smoothie: Tropical and citrusy. Very flavorful and refreshing. Verdict: Nice place to take a break from shopping and pick up drinks. There are two other boba shops in this mall, Gong Cha and Ding Tea. I would choose this one over both of them.

Stopped by for smoothies because I wanted something healthy in the morning. It is one of the vendors located in a food court on the 3rd floor. I ordered the dragon fruit smoothie and a super C smoothie. Both drinks came out tasteless. I took both drinks back and let the cashier know. He told me that the drinks do not have sugar and they are all natural. I appreciate that they are healthy without sugar, but both of them were really tasteless like I was drinking water with calories. He offered me to remake my smoothies, but they came out the same. I was disappointed, and felt like I wasted my money on this. The smoothies was $8.75 each.

I'll start by saying the service is great. The person who helped me was very nice. My drink, the fresh passion fruit tea, was okay. Next time I'll probably upgrade to 75% sugar from 50%. I usually get 50% sweetness but you just never know what to expect at new places you aren't familiar with. TBaar is located inside the food court so it has a food court vibe ambiance but is less busy than your regular mall food court. Could be because I came during the day on Friday while most people are at work.

After eating a tasteless and unappealing soufflé at Basilur, my friend and I wanted some boba drink. We stumbled upon this place as their drinks look healthy and their slogans and ads claim it to be made fresh press juice. I must've ordered the wrong thing and ordered the incorrect level of sweetness as my AVOCADO GREEN drink tasted so sour and bitter at 50% sweetness, which is usually what I get at any boba place. My friend ordered their PINEAPPLE SMOOTHIE and liked it. So, I would give them another chance and try their other drinks next time I'm in the area. Their service was prompt. It's a walk-up counter in the food court at "The Source". The seating areas are shared with the rest of the vendors inside the food court. The ambiance is clean. (I had to add the word "ambiance" to meet all the checked requirements lol).

It was hot day yesterday and we wanted something to cool down. We were in line for 'Hao Sweet" but long wait and long line in the hot 100 degree weather. I couldn't take the heat and stepped out of line and went into the food court and my fiance was waiting for the drink he bought and also I wanted a drink. I ordered the Strawberry Lemonade. My... it was delicious and quench my thirst and the heat. They serve healthy options for smoothies too. Next time I would want to try the healthy smoothie option.

I enjoyed TBaar's Vanilla Milk Tea at Los Cerritos Mall, and I was aware that there was a location in Buena Park. However, I didn't know it was specifically at The Source, which is located on the northeast corner of Orangethorpe and Beach, just north of the 91. The only reason I was at The Source was because I needed a short little getaway from LA County, and I wanted to see what The Source was like. The Source is a pretty large shopping center that consists of three levels, and TBaar is in the food court on the third level. When I saw that both TBaar and Gong Cha were at the same food court, I pulled up the Fivestars app on my phone. I know TBaar and Gong Cha in Cerritos both participate in Fivestars, so I wanted to see if these locations in The Source participate as well. Sure enough, they did, and both had a reward for $1 off any drink! I was torn between Gong Cha and TBaar before finally deciding on TBaar due to the longer lines at Gong Cha, which looked a little more expensive than TBaar. After adding the $1 off reward on Fivestars, I perused the TBaar menu, which appeared more extensive than the Los Cerritos location. I had a hard time deciding until I suddenly caught sight of the Papaya Milk Shake. I hadn't had papaya before in my life, and just a few days prior to my visit, a Yelp friend mentioned comparing it to butter due to its creamy texture and slightly sweet taste. She also mentioned refreshing, and I definitely needed some refreshing while walking the labyrinth of walkways at all three levels of The Source! When it was my turn to order, I intended to order the Large Papaya Milk Shake as long as the $1 off reward could apply to that. She repeatedly said it would work for any drink and kept asking what size I wanted. I thought I said Large? This went on for a few more seconds before she finally heard me say "Large". I don't know if she misheard me the first time, but that was a little frustrating. However, she was really sweet and courteous, so maybe it was my bad for not speaking clearly enough. It took just a couple of minutes before a staff member placed a straw and a large orange-colored milkshake on the pickup table. He didn't say anything, so I asked, "Is that the Papaya?" After he answered affirmatively, I grabbed the shake and drank it while walking back to my car. Since I hadn't had papaya before, it would have been hard to describe the taste, but I do agree with my Yelp friend that it was creamy and slightly sweet. I'd also say it was smooth like butter (see what I did there?) because it wasn't thick, and I had a pretty easy time sipping on the shake. However, the taste of the papaya wasn't too strong, so there definitely could have been more flavor added. I still liked the shake though! There are cup sizes behind a plexiglass by the order counter so you can get a better idea of how large a Large really is and how small a Small is. Actually, that's a lie. They don't have Small. The smallest they have is Medium, and I think the size difference between Medium and Large is quite noticeable that I would recommend paying the extra $1 to upgrade to Large. It was a nice refreshing drink that helped me get through the day. Even if Gong Cha would have tasted better, I'm still happy with choosing TBaar over Gong Cha since I wouldn't have wanted to wait in such a long line for a drink that I would have paid probably $1 more for.

This place is really good! I wanted to mention that the ube cake is not overly sweet! I am someone who has a sweet tooth so it wasn't what I was expecting, but my mother in law who is diabetic was so happy to have tried it because it was perfect for her. This is a great option if you do not like really sweet treats! Aside from the ube cake the smoothies are tasty! I will definitely be back to try other flavors!

The drinks are sort of overpriced here and it slightly tastes artificial. I ordered the Fresh Dragonfruit Tea here and it was okay. There wasn't too much flavor of the dragon fruit, but I understand that it's hard to capture it since it doesn't have a strong taste to begin with. However, I think that the staff were very friendly and the other drink on the menu sounded yummy!

We always get their smoothies here for a nice refreshing change to coffee and tea. They have a great selection of teas and smoothies with milk alternatives as well. Located inside the food court (3rd floor) next to Mochinut.

Super refreshing Fresh Dragon Fruit Tea. Got it all default and it was just perfect - not overly sweet but still flavorful. They even had a small fruit piece inside. Very happy with their fruit tea, I drank it so fast!

I've been here a couple of times and the guy/maybe owner who is here, is always on top of things. For someone who is working alone, he sure churns out the drinks at a reasonable rate. Everything I've purchased has been delicious. Will continue to monitor this place while charging my car.

This place has such an extensive menu, it's overwhelming. It seems to specialize in healthier drinks like fresh fruit/vegetable juices and smoothies, but also has boba drinks, and even serves layer crepe cakes. My wife and I were both craving milk tea drinks, so got the Brown Sugar Bubble Matcha, and Mixed Berry Mojito for our daughter. We all shared one order of Matcha Crepe Cake because it's expensive. Think it's $7.95 for just one slice. Brown Sugar Bubble Matcha was perfect. Great matcha taste with just the right amount of sweetness. Boba was good texture as well. It went great with the matcha crepe cake, which was very tasty and spongy soft. Definitely wasn't wimpy on the matcha flavor either. Our daughter loved the mojito drink which was very refreshing. Even though there are two other drink places at The Source - Gong Cha and Ding Tea, I think I will stick with this place because of its variety and unique options.

One of my favorite boba places. The menu is big and there are lots of variety to choose from. The category of drinks range from fruit tea, milk tea, foam tea, oolong tea, mojitos, lemonades, and smoothies. My favorite is the taro smoothie. Good taro flavor and there's lots of add ons to choose from. The add ons include, pudding, red bean, tapioca, white pearls, aloe, herbal jelly, lychee jelly, and mixed jelly.

This place has so many options it can get overwhelming. I'm glad they list the ingredients on the menu. I don't see many places around OC with pressed juice or clean smoothies with veggies and fruit like this one, normally I would see protein smoothes. I'm glad this place exists! My Avocado smoothie had everything I was looking for in this summer weather- fresh and nourishing ingredients to keep me hydrated and healthy in the heat. Tasted delicious too and filled me up for a few hours before dinner. I'll be back for more!

On point and yummy is what I have to say. Probably one of the best food court boba shops I've been to ever. I liked how they prepared my drink that way I had asked. It's hard to find a yummy milk tea where they know exactly what I mean by 50% sugar. I enjoyed my drink very much and I would definitely come back to The Source and get my milk tea here than the other places there!

Delicious protein smoothie made fresh. Ask the security personnel to give you directions to the correct level this juice bar is located.

I chose to stop by TBaar and searching for bubble tea places near Buena Park and was pleasantly surprised! First, TBaar is located inside a shopping center called The Source. Park on the 3rd level if you can because it's inside the food court on the 3rd floor. I ordered the passion fruit tea with fruit and substituted the mixed jelly for just lychee jelly. I got it with less ice and 75% sweetness, it was perfect! I especially liked the little bits of fresh fruit that was part of the drink. The tea flavor brought me back to Taiwan and I was so happy to have found a good bubble tea place on the first try. I also ordered a slice of the ube crepe cake on a whim after seeing it on the menu. Do yourself a favor and GET THE UBE CAKE! It was moist, not overly sweet at all and in between the layers it was nothing but delicious cream. Service was great, little to no wait for the order to come out and everything was fresh. I like the location inside the food court, there's plenty of tables inside so much sunlight. It's a chill spot for people to hang out at, young and old. I think it'd be very easy for you to plan lunch, dinner and dessert at this shopping center!

Great drink! I got the yakult strawberry drink with aloe which was really delicious! Not much of a wait time and they offer a variety of selections!

Cute place. Wait time was minimal! I was trying to get something refreshing without high calories and this place hits it in the head!! I ordered the dragon fruit smoothie with added boba. The smoothie was not sweet bc it was all natural. You can taste the beet in it but it was surprisingly good. I think adding basil seeds will make it even better. Boba brought out a hint sweetness in the drink. I was able to share with my 16 month old without worrying about tons of sugars. Located on the third floor of the shopping center!! Don't miss out! Service was excellent! Place was clean and efficient!

Located inside the Source on the 3rd floor. It's located inside the food plaza area with Popeyes and Gongcha. My hubby got the King of Tea 25% sweet with grass jelly. I got the peach milk foam 50% sweet. Let me tell you these drinks are goooooooood!!! The 25% sweet was perfect for the tea and they were very generous with the grass jelly. My peach milk foam has the perfect amount of sweetness and saltiness and the flavor is the peach was super light (it wasn't like the typical syrupy peach flavor you'll get at other boba shops). Highly recommend!

TBaar is inside the food court of this really strange complex in Buena Park. The Source OC in Buena Park tries to mimic the large department stores you'd find in Asia, where it's one big colossal structure with tons of boutique stores and food shops. It looks newly built and still finding vendors to fill open spots. TBaar is hard to find. You'll have to go to the third floor and towards the food court to find it. However, the tea is pretty solid. We enjoyed the TBaar jasmine milk tea. I couldn't tell if they use fresh milk or creamer as the milk base, but the tea flavor was definitely present and offered a nice overall drink (at our usual 50% sweetness level). The food court that TBaar is in is very spacious and well-heated in the winter with lots of seating so it's a great place to hang out with friends.

Last stop on my food tour at The Source! I could not leave without a dessert and settled on a boba. There are other boba places at the Source (all of which I tried), but I have never tried Tbaar, so I knew I had to try it. Tbaar is located on the top floor inside the food court. There were not a lot of people, so I was able to order pretty quickly. I decided on a mango green tea with boba and lychee jelly. The cool thing about this place is that they use fresh fruit and I was able to see all the employees in action as they cut up the fruits to make the drinks. I definitely want to try a smoothie the next time I come here. My drink came out in about 5 minutes. I have to say it was super tasty! The fresh fruit in my drink was really good and the boba was super fresh and tender. I finished my drink in about 15 minutes. LOL. A suggestion that I have is to ask for less ice. There was a lot of ice in my drink, so there was a lot of boba left at the end. I am definitely going to stop by here next time. I will definitely try a smoothie next time.

Excited that they serve crepe cakes because that is one of my mom and brother's favorite desserts when done right. So I took a chance and got one Mango and one Ube slice for us to try. I love how soft the cake was and how it wasn't too sweet. They both tasted great with mango being my favorite between the two. I am glad they held up well since we got home about two hours after purchasing.
