Santa Ana - Loose Leaf Boba Company

Santa Ana - Loose Leaf Boba Company is in 4th Street Market in downtown Santa Ana. It's a boba shop that brews tea from real leaves, not powder. It's open, with wood and black-and-white decor, self-order screens and parklet seating outside. There's a sister shop in Long Beach. The nearby garage can cost $10 on event weekends.

Try Go Go Bananas, made with Vietnamese coffee and banana milk. There's Banana Fosters milk tea, Purple Roots ube taro smoothie and crème brûlée brown sugar matcha.
