"Cha for Tea is one of the most beloved boba spots in Orange County and for good reason. With refreshing teas and drinks that are highly customizable with the toppings, fruit flavors, sweetness, cream and milk additions, and the amount of ice, both the fruity and milk-based beverage offerings run the gamut. The crispy chicken makes for a fantastic accompaniment, while diners also frequently order dumplings, beef stew, and curry chicken from the food menu." - Cathy Park

Amazing boba!!! We drove an hour just for the boba!! The only thing is that they do use paper straws… so if you can bring your own. The boba is always on point sometimes the tea is not. The line can get long, but worth the wait. Will be coming back.

Great drinks and for good prices. Cheaper than the other boba places in the area. I like they had a little area to pour a little sample of 4 drinks. Limited table spots inside, seems always busy. Got the Mango Green Tea, reg sugar and fruit jelly. So good would get again.

Who wants tea with boba? I want one please! Cool, clean place to drink your bubble tea. Tea flavors are unique and refreshingly yummy. Plus, it seems that they use half and half instead of milk making their drinks extra creamy. Also great quality tea bases, brewed strong enough that you can actually taste them! The staff is friendly and quite informative of the ingredients and proud of the quality. Not only that, but they provide a lot of the mix-ins (maybe even a bit too much, which isn't a bad thing in my opinion). Yum yum taste and fast service. I'm sure to come back!

There can be a line, but the tea is worth it—very refreshing! The staff is incredibly kind and understanding, even if you’re spilled on by your friends. Despite the rush of customers, they handle everything with patience and care, and their knowledge of the menu helps keep the line moving quickly.

I came here relatively often in my junior college days. I'm not too far with my car, thankfully. Every time I've ordered something, it was usually good. I get cravings for their matcha green tea boba and some other flavored boba tea drinks like lychee green tea and almond milk boba, etc, on occasion. I still like this place today. yay !

This was hands-down the most frustrating and worst experience I’ve ever had at any tea shop, let alone one as well-known as this. The curly-haired guy in the picture working here was unbelievably rude. I came in before closing time, fully expecting to place my order, but he aggressively told me to get out. When I tried to explain that I was inside well before closing time, he cut me off and had the audacity to say he’d call the police if I didn’t leave! I’ve never been treated so poorly in any establishment. It’s absolutely outrageous and unacceptable that this is how they treat their customers. If management doesn’t step in and fix this, they’re going to lose every loyal customer they have. I’m beyond frustrated and disappointed.

One of my favorite spot since 2017. Love their mango green tea crispy chicken

This place is pretty much a Denny’s version of a Boba place in Taiwan. Professional boba tea places do not use blenders to make their teas 😳 They target students so I can understand cost control where rent is outrageous.
