7 Leaves Cafe

This is a drive thru only café– so interesting.
Staff is friendly as usually, my recommendation for management is to consider a menu at the entrance of the DT lane. It should speed up the process so that customers do not need to spend time looking at the menu at the speaker and already know what they prefer to order

Love their house special coffee with sea salt cream. Best coffee in town for the price. More on the sweeter side since they use condensed milk.

Prices are good. Drinks are good. Customer service is great! I always get the mung bean milk tea or the house coffee! They also have a drive thru so it is super convenient for customers.

Drive through is a great idea except it takes so log to get to the front. And today they are only accepting cash so after waiting 15 mins in line I finally get to order, which I’m excited about, only to be informed that they can’t take cards and thus cannot help me. Great what a waste of time

This is my go-​to 7 Leaves location! Like any other location, the drinks are always made very fast, even if there is a line.
This location has a drive through, which makes things much more convenient.
I have never had any issues with the service and my drinks are made pretty consistently and well.
Recommendations include Sea Cream Jasmine, Thai Tea and most definitely, the House Coffee!
Enjoy!

Cool place, love the hot drinks hear.
The service is fast and the workers are really Professional and nice, I recommend giving this place a shot.

At this specific location, the reason why I gave it a five stars was its DRIVE THRU! It is sooo convient esp. if your baby is asleep, a rainy day, lazy, or if your on the go! The service is great as well! Very friendly and fast ^.^
Today, I ordered the Royal Lychee tea with aloe, Mango Tea with aloe for my husband, and a Jasmine Sea Cream for my Lady
The Lychee tea was light and refreshing and it gives a little bit more flavor with the aloe add on. This tea comes with pieces but I sure would like to know what is. Honestly, I rather have those pieces out.
Everytime I order 7 Leaves I feel like i could gulp it in 5 big gulps! Lastly, I love the new large size!

I came here on a recent business trip and went thru the drive though at 7am on my way back to LAX. I ordered an iced coffee and found the service an flavor of the coffee to be excellent. I’d come again, or try another of their locations in OC.

Macarons here are $ 1.50 each (not too expensive. average price, if you ask me) and they’re pretty decent! Just enough filling inside and the outside is chewy as well.
I am not a fan of their teas, just their sea salt coffees. I usually get the House Special of the Sea Salt Black Coffee depending on my taste buds that morning. The House Special is a lot sweeter and the black coffee is a little bit more bitter– but it gives that nice coffee taste with a blend of salty & sweetness from the sea salt and whipped cream mix!
Sometimes the drive-​thru line gets really long and it takes awhile… so you may just be better off parking and ordering inside. Don’t forget your stamp card! 10^th drink is free :)

This is my favorite 7 leaves of all time. Fast and friendly service as always. I like this location the most because they have a drive thru and there’s plenty of parking spaces compared to the original location. You can find your usual drinks that is offered at any 7 leaves. There’s some seating but it is limited because it’s more like a grab and go type of shop.
Tip: if you’re using the gps and it tells you to go to the fwy, DON’T go. It’s located right at the plaza near the entrance of the freeway.

As always delicious drinks and this location has some strawberry custard pastry to die for.
Tried the viet coffee today knowing it would be sweet but it was incredibly sweet. Asked the cashier if house or viet coffee was sweeter and they said the house. I can’t imagine what the house would taste like!
I think I’d only come here for teas as it doesn’t seem you can adjust the sugar levels for the drinks and I like my coffees less sweet.
Boba is still a 10. Soft chewy and just the right amount of honey.
Strawberry pastry is to die for. If they have it don’t hesitate. Get it!

I know this is a tea place but I wish there was a little more variety. I decided to go off my beaten path and get a Thai tea with boba. The Thai tea itself was nothing special and the boba was average.
Love that there is a drive thru though and the staff was friendly and fast.

BUYER BEWARE! Ordering «Cup Upsize» for $ 0.75 is almost equivalent to regular size. In the future, check if employees are actually checking consistency of ounces!
*customer service and quality of drinks is fantastic

My weakness is boba teas and living by 7 Leaves’ most convenient location doesn’t help.
When I’m tired, stressed, down in the dumps, 7 Leaves is my place for a pick me up. Though their drinks and boba aren’t as consistent as their Garden Grove: Euclid location (my fave), the DRIVE THRU with fast service and convenient factor makes up for it.
I’ve been a big fan of 7LC for a few years now and have tried most of their drinks at this particular location. I heart the fact that they use REAL tea leaves, which makes the drink more aromatic. None of that powdery/​artificial crap. Big fan of quality drinks.
My FAVES are still:
–JASMINE MILK TEA AND MUNG BEAN MILK TEA: sometimes drinks are a bit watered down. Ask for no-​ice if this is consistently the case. They can also make the drink ½ sweetened and it still taste very good.
–LYCHEE Shaken tea would be my choice for fruity tea. However, it’s a bit too mild in flavor
–SEA CREAM JASMINE tea is good if you’re looking for a hint of cream and mainly tea.
ADD ONs:
–Sad to say their boba balls are no bueno. Not chewy and gets hard as it sits in the drink. This may be a blessing in disguise since it’s added calories. IF they can improve on this, lots of customers would be much happier. SO, instead I either get no add-​ons or grass jelly.
–Perhaps, lychee jelly or mixed jelly would be nice for their fruity drinks. Just a suggestion, HINT HINT!
TID BITS:
1) Stamp cards; can be used at all their locations
2) Opens early, closes late and usually open on major holidays… NICE! (M-​Th: 7am-​10pm; Fri 7am-​11pm; Sat 8am-​11pm; Sun 8am-​10p)
3) Upgrade drinks to a Large size for $ 0.75. Add-​ONs extra $ 0.50.
4) CREDIT CARDS accepted (no minimum)

So today is Friday! April fools day!!!
Anyways, I came around 6 pm through the drive thur. So you’re probably thinking why is she even writing a review? It’s just drive thur? Well I write reviews where it’s due. The guy working the drive thur. Kudos to you! You were so nice, you made my day.
How you ask? Did he give me anything free? No. Lol. He was just super friendly. Something you don’t see every day. Asked me how my day was going and if he could get me anything else!
Isn’t that sweet??? Sweet enough for me to sit here and write a review .
PS. Bring back my black halo! Why you take it out? Was it really losing you money? *adds eye roll emoji*

This place was surprisingly good. All their drinks were on par with one another. I got a soy matcha latte, and my friends got the coffee variants. We all tried each others’ drinks and agreed that it was legit.
I appreciate the small menu selection because it helps to highlight the specialty drinks, rather than the usual bombardment of peculiar drink variations you’d see at Quickly’s.
I’m a big fan of half and half in Socal, but this place trumps it by a bit, in my opinion. It’s a little lighter and the taste is unique and potent. Half and half is very sweet, and tends to be thick and milky. I guess it depends on what you’re in a mood for, but I highly recommend 7 Leaves Café. It’s a must if you’re visiting SoCal like I was.

I have not one thing to complain about 7 Leaves. With multiple locations, I can see why this place does so well. Simple menu, decadent pastries, and friendly staff makes 7 Leaves Café a destination tea house. I tried the Jasmine Green Tea with Grass Jelly. Perfection. The tea was high quality with hints of flowery bitterness and the grass jelly was herbal. Without asking, the sweetness and ice levels were appropriate. Overall, a solid tea place. To top it off, this location has a drive thru. For whatever reason, I was so ecstatic to see a drive thru boba tea house. What’s this world coming to?

Why haven’t I ever checked in or reviewed here? Because I am slackinnnn! Somehow 7 leaves has become my BF and i’s coffee/​tea spot. I am here every week sometimes twice a week and I don’t even live close! Now I realized I could have become duchess by now! This will not happen again I swear lol. Not sure if its the awesome punch card deal or the close proximity to us but it is what it is!
Here it flows:
House coffee: not as strong as the view iced with a salty foam on top. ³⁄₅ to me but BF likes it.
Viet coffee: when I want a coffee from here I always choose this one, yummy and strong! Close enough to legit Vietnamese crack coffee better than Lee’s ⁴⁄₅ add boba!
Japanese Matcha Tea: super refreshing, hydrating and quenches my thirst. Even better with added Aloe Vera. Gives a sweet burst of freshness! ⁵⁄₅ good for you and bomb dot com.
Sunset Passion: not my favorite, cool name, I like passion fruit but something in this drink doesn’t seem balances on my taste buds. Tastes a bit salty to me somehow lol. I know passion fruit is good for you though but I haven’t reordered this since I first tried it last year. ²⁄₅ meh!
Macarons: I like their macarons, just your typical decent macaron here the only problem is the availability. Sometimes they have macarons, sometimes they don’t, sometimes they have some flavors and other times who knows! I only find out when I drive thru it’s always a gamble lol. I’m not picky though all flavors are good when they have em!
Haven’t tried their strawberry custards or popcorn chicken I’m afraid to ask thinking of it’s still on their menu. Sometimes I feel I never know what’s coming or going next but as long as I can get my hands on a Japanese matcha or Viet coffee I am golden! Please don’t take those away, I’ll be sad.
Will I return? Obviously I will. This is our drink stop before beach trips, road trips, trips to SD, mornings and pre date beverages. Literally our drink stop before we do anything in life even grocery shop. Yes, I have no shame about this place. It’s not the best place in the world but it’s consistently yummy.
So why only 4 stars? I’ll tell you why: although customer service is always friendly and polite… sometimes they forget the boba. You cannot, I repeat cannot forget the boba! This has happened 2 – 3 times and it’s not cool. I drive off anyway because oh well, but inside I am a little disappointed. I let it slide though. But please don’t let it happen anymore y’all!

Stopped in here before Running errands and I’m sure glad I did! The menu is basic and east to order where you’re not overwhelmed. They have pictures of Drinks with a brief description so you know what you’re getting.
I’m a huge milk tea fan so I got the sea cream Jasmine milk tea and was not disappointed. It wasn’t too sweet or tea-​y. Just right for my taste buds. Can’t wait to stop in again. Don’t forget to ask for a punch card! Staff is really friendly too :)

I love 7 leaves because they have cool mixes on the boba scene, my favorite the mung bean! I’ve also tried the taro one and the mung bean is still my favorite. Ass some boba and the pudding! Delicious. If it’s too sweet ask them to do the low sugar one.
The girl here was also super helpful and nice. She let my BF taste 2 flavors before ordering since he is new to this boba thing.
Next time I’ll come for their version of the sea salt coffee.
