CHAGEE Modern Teahouse

I honestly don't think the wait justifies the product. We waited 2 hours for a queue of about 50 orders (70 cups). While the tea is okay, it’s not life-changing enough to warrant that kind of time commitment. I will give credit to the staff—they are very professional and do a great job of warning newcomers about the long wait times before they order. Only stop by if you have plenty of time to kill and aren't expecting anything mind-blowing

CHAGEE is such a vibe! The place looks amazing — super clean and modern — and their teas are on another level. You can really taste the quality in every drink. The milk tea is creamy and just right, not too sweet. Staff are always friendly and quick too. It’s the kind of spot you actually look forward to going back to. Totally recommend!

I've been wanting to try Chagee since I hear they opened in SoCal. We don't have any branches in the Bay yet. Wait times are super long due to brewing each tea per order. The wait was worth it as it was one of the better tasting oolong roast I've had. You can taste the higher quality difference compared to say a regular Taiwanese milk tea shop. I hope they expand north soon!

There is always a long line. Luckily There was 0 line that day I went. Maybe colder days less people buy bubble tea? I tried the Roasted Oolong late - it was sooo good! Roasted Black Tea late is nothing too special

This chain coming from China has set up a record of selling the most boba tea in China, named Boya 伯牙琴弦,a jasmine flavored green tea, so I decided to give it a try. With $6.53 for a regular size, the milk tea is just average To my taste. I asked for zero sugar which is a plus as not every milk tea shop offers zero sugar drinks. If you enjoy the super modern ambiance and decide to chill here for an afternoon when in the shopping mall, maybe this is a place worth stopping. Otherwise, find another milk tea place for the best bang for your buck.

For those who love tea, tea only. No topping add on and not any popular drink, their flavor is so so Located inside Westfield and easy to find

I really like it not too sweet, and it’s something new for people who don’t drink coffee. It makes you forget the usual flavors from Starbucks. It’s something fresh, worth the price and quality. I hope they open more branches. The service is pretty fast, not slow at all. The staff are friendly and smiling. The packaging is beautiful. I’m waiting for the merchandise to be released — I really want to get a cup!

Make sure to download the app before your first visit to get 15% off! CHAGEE might just serve the best tea latte I’ve ever had in my life! The Jasmine Green Tea Latte is absolutely next level—so smooth, fragrant, and perfectly balanced. I also tried the Peach Lemon Tea and Roasted Black Lemon Tea, and both were excellent. Flavor-wise, this place is a total win. Now, the downsides: the wait time can be brutal. We waited 1 hour on a Sunday afternoon, which definitely tested our patience. Also, parking is a pain, especially on weekends—so plan ahead if you’re visiting during peak hours. That said, the drinks are worth the hype. Just go prepared!

Came in today needed a slightly different caffeine fix& so instead of coffee I opted for the Changi Jasmine green pure tea, for the first time. My previous selections were green tea, but with the milky white stuff added to it. (Whatever that means.) You can tell I'm no tea or coffee connoisseur-we can agree on that much! Lol To my surprise there was no line! Just goes to show you that no matter the demand or popularity of any given product, given enough time things calm down one way or another. What's the old saying? "This too shall pass!", and it appears that the hype around this particular location has finally subsided somewhat. That said, its a cool, overcast, and windy, so that could have some bearing on it. To conclude, the staff here is well-trained, and all possess great customer service skills. As always, I shall return.

I've heard so much about Chagee in recent times so I decided to try them out on a Saturday afternoon. I have no idea what I was expecting. The line was out the door for those who were attempting to place an order in-person and also mixed up with those waiting for their online orders. There were 82 cups ahead of me. I kid you not. My order was supposedly going to become ready in 118 minutes. The awkward long wait was horrific. I got to watch people have meltdowns. Drinks were piled up on the to-go shelf and in-person order pickup area. Some didn't know their online orders were ready on the shelf and apparently waited for nearly 2hrs. They stormed out angry. I can't blame them. My drinks became available after nearly an hour wait on standby. The caramel tea latte was way too sweet and much too melted by the time I received it. My peach oolong tea latte tasted diluted and nothing to write home about. The pure chaotic pickup process and the very underwhelming drink quality makes me not want to return ever again. I still don't understand what the hype is all about at Chagee, but I can confidently say now.....it's not worth the wait. Just go to Knotted across the corridor for much easier, faster, and 100x better experience in both service quality and food/drink quality. They make wonderful matcha lattes and their donuts are not too sweet. Best of all, wait time is nonexistent.

This place opened relatively recently, and several of my friends highly recommended it, so I decided to give it a try. It's located on the top floor of the Westfield Century City Mall, tucked into a corner. The line was already stretching outside when I arrived, and the wait ended up being pretty long -- definitely an overhyped spot. Service itself was fine -- the employees were doing their best, but the line and crowd made the experience feel chaotic. The pricing isn't particularly great either, especially considering the wait. I ordered the boya tea latte. The drink was okay but fairly bland and not quite to my taste. I can see why some people enjoy this style of tea shop, but personally, it didn't leave much of an impression. Overall, I wouldn't make a special trip back here. For me, the hype and pricing outweigh the experience, though I'm sure many people love it and find it worth the wait.

I made a line and it wasn't too long. But there is a useless app that I can't order from. There is a 15% off code on there. Anyway, I ordered one drink. The bag that comes with it is an ugly paper bag and not a cooler bag like other places. I think only when you order 2+ drinks they'd give you a cooler bag. I don't recommend this location because the parking is horrible enough itself. Maybe Westfield Culver City will be better when it comes out.

Chagee has been on my list for soooo long! I've been waiting for the hype to die down before visiting. My friend and I visited on a Friday morning and there was no line in sight! The interior is well-kept with ample and comfortable seating. Our server and barista were also nice and prompt. I liked how the menu lists what items were their most ordered since it helps me narrow down my options. I ordered the peach oolong. I wish the peach flavor shone through more, but other than that the tea base was rich and silky. Also keep in mind that regular sweetness for teas is set at 50%. I usually prefer things on the sweeter side, but it ended up being perfect!! The straws are also really cool! I'm a chugger by heart and these tri-hole straws really helped me enjoy the tea, one little sip at a time. I feel like the low ratings are explained by the long lines, which have long since died down. Looking at the stars, I would've expected the tea to be the problem, but it wasn't. I would come again :)

I've heard so much about Chagee that I was really excited when I finally had the opportunity to stop by and try. It was extremely busy, so we waited around 35 minutes to order and then another 10 minutes for our drinks to come out. The line does move fairly quickly, but no drink is worth a 45 minutes wait in my opinion. I opted for the iced Peach Oolong Tea Latte, and my fiancé ordered the Jasmine Green Pure Tea. This spot truly focuses on tea so there are no toppings available. The teas are solid - very fragrant and smooth which is how I love my teas, but definitely still overhyped. I will say that the packaging is very cute and reminiscent of Dior, but other than that there really was nothing special. They also sell some interesting pastries, but we didn't get any. The prices are very reasonable at around $6 for a large drink, although the parking in this mall is expensive and hectic. Can't say I'll be back, but it was fun to try.

We finally got to try this place and it was good. We tried their signature Roasted black tea latte, Roasted oolong pure tea, and a Nutella Cruffin. The drinks were very good and the pastry was soft, buttery, sweet and flakey. We liked the fact that you can adjust the sweetness level and ice level as well. The cafe was very bright, spacious and clean. There is ample seating inside and out. The lines can be long at times but the service and staff are all helpful, nice and attentive. We'll be back to try some other items. Happy Nom Nom!

Came here a 2nd time to try the Boya tea latte and the peach oolong cruffin. They both did not disappoint, but I did like the peach oolong tea latte better though since it was fruity. The cruffin (a hybrid of a croissant and muffin) was nice and flaky on the outside and soft in the inside. It was filled with a creamy peach oolong custard which wasn't too sweet, which I liked. Like my previous experience- although there was a line, it moved quickly and the drinks came out in about 10 minutes. Also, don't forget to use the app. They have occasional coupons of 15-20% off.

I love Chagee!! Not only the drinks were really good, but the presentation was so unique. They served the drinks in this Dior inspired cups with matching bags, which made the experience extra special. Such a fine touch that makes them stand out from other tea shops.

Wanted to give this place a try as we were in town. Outside and inside was decored really nicely. Really upscale feel. Somethings i noticed really quick was the customer service was great! There was a appstore promotion of 15% off and i was super suprised that the person taking our order was able to pull up the coupon and instantly apply. We ordered the Boya Tea Latte and the Peach oolong tea latte. We liked the Boya Tea Latte, but the Peach oolong tea felt a bit too artificial, and also seemed like the tea was diluted, and not as strong. Would not get the peach oolong again. If we are in the area, would come back to try the other drinks.

Hype seemed to finally die out so I came on a Friday morning to try. There was no one in line so I walked straight up to the counter. The pastry box was filled too. I had the oolong milk tea and substituted the whole milk with oat milk. Wasn't really a fan of the drink but it might be because of the oat milk. I tried my boyfriend's green milk tea with whole milk and enjoyed it 10x more. I really liked their cruffins. Tried the peach oolong and jasmine one and enjoyed the unique flavor that you could only find at chagee.

Saw this Tea shop the first time I came to Century City mall and it was packed out. Came back on a weekday evening and figured I'd give it a shot. The shop itself looked really nice on the inside, line was manageable and there were areas to queue after you have ordered. I ordered the Roasted Oolong Tea Latte just based off the image on their menu. I waited around 10-15 minutes for the drink which was longer than I anticipated. The latte was great and I had no complaints. It was not too overpowering and not too sweet either, perfect balance of both. A refreshing latte for a hot day. Overall I'd come back to try the other flavors they have, only if it's not as packed lol.

CHAGEE is one of the most POPULAR TEA SHOPS IN Shanghai China, when I went last year I was obsessed!!! I am so happy it's now in LA! It did not disappoint ! The aesthetics is celebrating Chinese culture in the west , well balanced and the taste of the drinks is just as good as I remembered it. HIGHLY recommend : ROASTED OOLONG TEA LATTE : strong creamy mix tea flavor and sweetness levels make sure to always go less sweet ! PEACH OOLONG TEA LATTE : super refreshing !!! And also I think less sweet was good and I have a sweet tooth. There was a line up , but not too long and definitely worth it ! Clean atmosphere, good service. Lots of seating outside. high quality tea here for sure ! Hope they expand all over SOCAL SOON Follow me for more foodie adventures , -LIVING WITH LUCI

The line is always around the corner, however it does move fast. The inside of the place is modern, organized and has a cool vibe! I ordered the jasmine iced tea and my sister had the peach oolong tea. I'm a tea lover. I drink Matcha every morning, so I was excited to try this place. I heard many good things about it. My tea was delicious. The mixture was perfect not too sweets and you can taste the jasmine. It was a nice afternoon treat for me to have. I will definitely be back.

Finally oh finally, I get to try Chagee. I'm not sure why they decided to open in Culver City and not 626, but I think it's like what the reviews been saying. They are famouse with their teas, so it's very strong. It's not your typical boba shop. I think it's good and I like their oolong tea with less sweet. I'd recommend to order with less sweet if you want to taste the tea stronger. They are busy and move pretty fast. I'd say I waited around 15 minutes for my drink to come out. There were 10 people working, and there are plenty of seats as well. It's located at the corner and very top floor of the mall.

My first mistake was reading the first tea on their menu as "boba tea latte" when it was Boya tea lol. I should have researched more thinking this would be a tea shop that had boba. It's not. But like I said my bad. With that being said the service was great and the tea that I got was pleasant but it's on the resale heavy brew side. If you love authentic tea this is your shop. You'll taste the bitterness and hit of the their brew as the have these presses machines similar to espresso machines but for tea. I ordered the peach oolong tea latte with oat milk. It's lacking the creaminess of a latte, the drink was light on the watery/tea side. Like I'll state below I'm used to the Wushiland, half and half's, tasteas, and even quicklies so I'd rather spend my buck there for the milky/latte experiences. My palette has been used to Taiwanese boba tea shops so I don't really see myself coming back often because I steep my own teas at home for this type of drink experience. The packaging is beautiful, and for me personally this is the selling point.

Im happy I got to try chagee and try a their caramel tea frappe. Its arguably one of the more unusual drinks that i decided to order because my usual choices are either milk tea or fruit tea. This one was made similar to a frappucino you'd get at Starbucks. I saw several people in front of me order it so I decided 'why not?' Im really glad I got it! It was a deliciously refreshing frappe with a strong tea presence. It was unique for me because I've never had anything like this before. I would reduce the sweetness next time but im definitely looking forward to getting this one again! Ambiance was nice. Easy to hold a conversation. Staff was very friendly and professional. They answered all my questions before I ordered:]

I have gotten a chance to finally try out Chagee and was lucky that the line/wait wasn't too long. Chagee located on the second floor of the Westfield Century City Mall! Took me a a little bit to find it, since it is tucked in a corner, but I am happy to find it. They have a smaller selection of drinks, with a big focus on premium tea! There are three main categories with tea latte, pure tea, and fruit tea. We wanted to try the different types, so we ended getting the Boya Tea Latte, Peach Oolong Tea Latte, and Roasted Black Lemon Tea. My favorite was the Roasted Black Lemon Tea, as I love myself some refreshing fruit tea! For all three drinks, the tea flavors are fragrant, yet light at the same time! They are not too sweet. The place itself is beautiful with the wooden theme interiors. Love the ceiling lights at the middle of shop! I would def go again when I'm visit the mall or when there is a location near me open!

Your experience can vary greatly depending on what you order here. And I say this because I think social media has hyped up this place and their top seller isn't even their best item. Came here a bit past 3pm on a Saturday and was pretty worried the line would be too long of a wait. Surprisingly, it took about 20 minutes from when I first got in line to when I was able to place my order with an employee on their tablet. 10 minutes after that, I received my 3 drinks. So, in total, it took 30 minutes from getting in line to having my drinks ready. Here's what I thought: -Boya Tea Latte: From their marketing, it seems like this is what they are known for, so I had to order it. It's basically a Jasmine Green Milk Tea, and I was told they use whole milk and a bit of non-dairy creamer to help with texture. I got one with light ice and one without as I was ordering one for my boyfriend who would not be able to enjoy the drink until 2 hours later. I say this because I thought my drink was milk forward and had a lighter Jasmine flavor than similar milk teas from other shops and my boyfriend agreed and said he thought it tasted diluted as well, despite his drink having no ice. It's okay if you like a light flavor, but it definitely doesn't pack a punch if that's what you're hoping for. -Roasted Oolong Pure Tea: I wanted to try their pure tea to see how the quality was and I can confidently say this was 1000% better than their tea lattes. The only thing that's a bit annoying is they are not able to offer the pure tea without ice so I had to walk outside and use a spoon to scoop it all out as I was planning on enjoying the drink the next day and even the employee acknowledged that it would be diluted by then. I appreciate that he asked some other employees if they would be able to make the drink without ice, but they all said that was not an option so just keep that in mind. The shop also offers a few pastry options in their glass case at the front but because I ordered with an employee on the tablet, I was unable to see what they were offering. Price range: They offer two sizes and I would say their prices are on the cheaper side compared to many other boba shops in LA area. Also keep in mind they are a tea shop that specializes in teas so they do not offer boba or other toppings. Parking and the shop: This shop is located on the second floor of Century City Mall towards the Container Store side. Parking is kind of a hot mess in the structure. I was lucky to find a spot within 5 minutes of circling but it does get crowded. The structure allows for 1 hour of free parking and I was able to get back to my car with about 15 minutes to spare. Overall: Do I think this is worth a long drive? No. I would say if you're around the area and can make a quick stop, go ahead and order the pure tea. Otherwise, I think I prefer Molly Tea :/

Chagee is a chic tea house with beautiful Dior-inspired decor that makes for a stylish and cozy spot to enjoy a tea break. Now that I've tried all their tea lattes, I can give a better overview of what to expect. The Boya Tea Latte, their take on a jasmine green tea latte, has a light flavor. Personally, I prefer a stronger jasmine note, so this one didn't quite stand out for me. The Roasted Black Tea Latte is good but not as memorable as the Roasted Oolong or my favorite, the Peach Oolong Tea Latte. If you enjoy a more pronounced tea flavor, I highly recommend going with one of the oolong options. The peach oolong is refreshing and smooth and my go-to order is with less sugar and less ice. I also highly recommend the peach oolong cruffin. One thing I wish they would change is the packaging. The plastic cups tend to sweat a lot and make a mess. I much prefer their stylish paper cups that feature that Dior-like print. It would elevate the experience even more if all drinks came in those. I've been a fan since their food truck introduction in Westwood and even waited in the three-hour line at the Century City grand opening. Since then, I've come back several times. Be sure to download their app and follow them on Instagram if you plan on going more than once. They offer great coupons and rewards. For a while, they only had whole milk which made it hard for anyone with dairy sensitivities or are vegan. I kept suggesting a dairy-free alternative and I'm glad to see they finally added oat milk to the menu! I'm also not a fan of is the tri-sip straw. I know it's meant for tea lattes and pure teas but I personally find it a little annoying and would rather just have a regular straw. They still don't offer boba which feels like a huge miss. Their tea quality rivals some of the best boba spots in town but without boba, I think they might struggle to keep up with US trends. Like I'll drive 45 minutes just to go to a great tea and boba shop but less inclined if it's just one or the other. I'll definitely keep coming back for the tea but I would visit a lot more often if they added boba.

I was so excited for this one and kinda left in a small disappointment. I've been raving about Chagee ever since I had it in Shanghai last year, and then got overly excited about it coming to the US in California esp. It did not give me the WOW factor I had in China. Pro's: Commpared to China, they actually do milk alternatives here. It's still a decent milk tea. I ordered exactly what I ordered in Shanghai just with oat milk. With the collective review from my friends, the drinks tasted like milk with a hint of tea.... I know chagee's very tea focused, but we barely tasted that :/ Interior looks nice and modern, could be a good cafe for work/studying but only if you're not there during the influx of people. We got lucky and came before a rush so we only waited about 15 mins. But I have heard and been asked by people about the line being extremely long, which of history with new boba/milk tea shops opening in California is always the case. If you don't wanna wait in like go during dead periods either opening/closing or weekdays. It's located on Level 2 in the Century City mall.

I've been the a couple of Chagee in China and Malaysia. So when they finally opened Chagee, I was excited. However, the menu for this Chagee is much smaller than the Chagee oversea. While the store smelled really good when you walked in say, the drinks were only okay. There weren't bad, but they weren't as impressive as I remember them to be when I went to the Asia ones. Located in the popular mall of Century City, it is expected that it normally has a wait. I've gone a couple times, all during the weekends. I would say, getting Chagee would likely take up 90% of your allotted free parking. Been to multiple popular boba shops, it seems that Chagee in Century City is not as efficiently run as other popular shops in SGV, Heytea, ChiCha, Molly Tea etc. In my opinion, it's not worth making a trip specifically for Chagee. However, if you're in the mall and have time to kill, I do think it's one of the better options in the mall.

Followed the hype coming here and was neither disappointed nor impressed. Peach oolong tea latte had decent peach flavor but tasted a bit watery. Jasmine green lemon tea tasted okay and I personally thought it needed more tea flavor. Above average but not amazing drinks imo. Worth a try.

New tea spot in Century City with friendly staff and beautiful branding. The jasmine green lemon tea was light and refreshing.

Unfortunately, I made the grave mistake of waiting four hours in line for their grand opening to get free drinks, so that's on me. Imagine my disappointment when I finally got inside to order a Boya Tea latte ($4.95) only to taste the most watered down drink ever. My boyfriend also hyped up the drink too much as he loves Chagee in Asia so I was excited to try what he was raving about. Apparently, the tea is made with daily consumption in mind for tea lovers, so I could see why the taste of the tea was very faint. I will say during my last sips the drink did grow on me as I tasted a stronger tea taste but overall would not get again. The second time we came back to redeem our free drinks, the hype for the place had died down a bit so there was only around a 15 minute wait in line. We got the jasmine green lemon tea ($5.95) and peach oolong lemon tea ($5.95). These drinks were a lot more flavorful than the tea lattes. I enjoyed these and would give both drinks an 8/10. The inside is very pretty with a minimalist but modern vibe. However, I fear they did not consider the layout of the place very well as they had workers taking orders on the side of the line as well as in the front. Chagee was also packed with people inside so we were all like canned sardines. Their system to pick up the drinks was a little disorienting.

Finally tried Chagee and I'm OBSESSED. I came around 10:30 AM on a Friday, waited about 5 min in line, and then got my drink within 5 min of ordering. I tried their regular iced signature Boya tea latte with less sugar, and it was freaking delightful! It was light and creamy and had a wonderful floral sweetness to it. I know it's a huge chain but I honestly thought my drink was on par with many of the drinks I've tried from boba and tea shops in SGV (and cheaper too!) I will definitely be back (probably next week lol)

It is located at the Century City mall and upstairs in its own little corner. So you do have to pay for parking. Ordering was actually pretty fast, with someone taking orders with a tablet and another at the counter. I tried the Roasted Oolong Tea. The only thing is that it was going to be a far drive to get back and I didn't want to drink it quite yet, so I asked for no ice (totally ok with not a full cup), and they told me it could not be adjusted. :/ When the drink came out, the amount of ice was actually insane. I feel like this might have affected my drink, since I thought it tasted just like any other tea. Not worth going far for this place. My friend did enjoy the peach oolong tea though, saying it was a good balance of sweet and bitter. Maybe I will try another drink some time, but overall nothing is driving me to come back. So many other better options for tea. But did want to mention the employee calling out names was kind enough to give us each a cute bag to place our drinks in.

4 stars! We came by on a weekday just one hour before closing and there was still a decent amount of people in the store. After ordering, a line formed. The peach drink was sweetened and was too sweet for me (I think it didn't taste much other than sugar) and I couldn't taste too much of the peach. I enjoyed the BOYA tea. I love that they tell you the caloric information along with the caffeine content. I am excited to see a closer location open up soon (Brea). Prices are fair - with boba prices being $6-7 in 626 area, prices below $6 is considered affordable. +: Friendly Service Premium experience Indoor and outdoor seating available Baked goods available for purchase No extra charge for dairy substitute (oat milk) -: Online ordering wasn't possible Long waits due to grand opening / hype Minimal dairy substitutes Tips- parking at Century City is free if you park under 1 hour.

I was craving chagee, and tried mobile order today! It was super quick and I picked up the boya with ease.

Chagee - 4/5 Came here around 7pm and there wasn't a wait but it was pretty crowded. My friends and i got the boys tea latte and peach oolong tea latte that the workers recommend. I'm not a huge milk tea person but the peach oolong tea latte was super light and not overly sweet, however please be aware that the drinks are already light ice when we got them. The workers here are super nice and helpful! 3 drinks and it came with a cute reusable bag.

What We Ordered: -Hot Boya Tea Latte (Jasmine Green) (L) $5.75 -Iced Boya Tea Latte (Jasmine Green) (L) $5.75 I'm not always plugged in on what's hip or not hip these days. However, I read on Eater that Chagee was opening their first store in the USA. I knew that I had to go, but finding the time is not always easy for any parent. Having lived in Beijing for 5 years, the wife and I had Chagee loads of times. We know it as a brand that offers a high-quality product. We were intrigued whether or not they would offer the same quality in the states. The service was very friendly and helpful! Chagee lived up to they hype. The tea was just like we remembered it. The Jasmine Tea is so smooth. How could you not love those cups?! Grab a tea from Chagee and have a stroll around Century City and live your best life.

Line wasn't too long on a Friday, but we did wait around 15-20 minutes for our drinks. I like how floral and fragrant the drinks are - you can tell the quality of the tea themselves were really good. We got the BOYA jasmine tea and their peach tea. I'm more of a sweet tooth and got the regular sugar, but it wasn't sweet at all. I would definitely get extra sweet next time for the jasmine. Their peach tea was barely sweet. The brand does remind me of blue-version of Molly Tea. Seems to be in the same category as them. I would try again.

I have tried drinks from this tea shop many times in Kuala Lumpur, and I was SOOOO excited to see their first USA location was not too far from me. It's hidden at the very top back corner of Century City Mall, but quite spacious with outdoor seating and a couple tables inside. I came here on a Friday at 12 PM and the wait was not too bad, about 15-20 minutes. This visit, I tried their Boya Milk Tea - which is their rebranded Jasmine Milk Tea. So fragrant and rich in flavor! In my opinion, this was the best milk-to-tea ratio. The floral of the jasmine really came through. If you have tried Molly Tea, it is very on par with their quality. I definitely recommend the Boya Milk Tea, or the Peach Oolong Milk Tea :)

Came from Eastvale to try this place! 1.5 hour drive.. and I'm glad I came! Super stunning interiors and despite having a large capacity indoor and outdoor, this place is always packed!! Luckily, when I went the line was about 15 ish min. (6pm Friday, odd right!) Ordered peach oolong tea latte, boya tea latte, nutella cruffin teas : mild, soft, delicate, fragrant, affordable. I was able to enjoy my cup of good tea for $5.15. regular sugar is not too sweet! the highest compliment lol nutella cruffin : I got this because the other cruffin flavors (peach oolong and jasmine) were sold out. I'm not a nutella fan but decided to try. I'm surprised by how good it was! I suggest asking to warm it up or come earlier because my only wish was that it was warm! its pretty sweet but complimented the tea. I sat outside, some shade is provided and no bugs :) Overall a nice experience and great teas for a great price! Hope this helped! :D

The newest flavor of the week in terms of Boba tea shops popping up. Super happy that there is another great option in my favorite mall.. They messed up my original drink and put 0 sugar. Ordered their roasted Lemon tea and it was just a drink full of sourness. They re-made it and it tasted decent. Similarly, to what Happy Lemon tasted when they first opened. The line moves fast but don't know if it's worth the wait or the hype. You decide!

I came after craving CHAGEE after my travel to China. Parking here is at the mall so it can be difficult! Arrived around 1 pm on a busy Saturday and there was already a queue! Waited about 10 minutes before heading in. We were able to order with the iPad and got a BOYA latte. After ordering, you kind of just wait around until your drink is ready. Because this place is so busy, there is limited seating. They have a variety of drinks and pastries, but keep in mind they specialize in teas, not boba or toppings! You can definitely smell the frangrant tea as soon as you enter but it's not as comparable as the CHAGEE chains overseas. However it is still nice and strong! I'd probably get it again if I was in the area! But not something I'd go out of my way for.

Is a treat worth waiting an hour? Nope. Hard no for me. The staff outside were great. The people in line were entertaining. I however cannot justify the wait for a beverage. If it were up to me, I would've turned right around as soon as I saw that line, but I was dragged to this location by a friend who wanted to try this place so I had no choice but to wait. Ordering wasn't an issue. That line moved fairly quick. It was the wait getting our order that was ridiculous. We kept looking at the screen which showed the queue. It took damn near 45 mins for our 3 drinks to be ready. The woman yelling out the ones ready was getting frustrated. She kept telling folks to not block the front, but there was nowhere to go since every corner was occupied. It would really help if there was a screen outside showing the orders. My choice was refreshing, but no way in hell would I willingly wait an hour if I was on my own.

Tried to come here during their grand opening week, but decided to skip it as the line was SUPER freaking long. My mistake, I keep underestimating Socal crowds... But luckily, my husband was able to pick some up during off hours on a weekday as he was nearby during work. He ordered the Ceylon tea latte and the peach oolong milk tea, I believe. I really, REALLY love Chagee when I had it in China. I thought it was just fine here? I definitely love that the tea flavor for both drinks were present. Not sure if it's because a bit of the ice melted, but I did feel like the drinks were more watered down than back in China. Definitely need to go back and try in person on the spot next time. He also said for some reason one of the teas took like 20 minutes to make despite there being barely a line. So don't know what happened there. But would still come back and try their other menu items when I'm in the area.

It's finally here, one of the most famous tea chains from Asia has arrived in the States with its first flagship location! Started by an orphan in Yunnan China, Chagee has thousands of locations all across the world and if you've had the pleasure of trying it, you'd know you need to run not just walk to get a cup, or two, or five! The Christian Dior of Teas, Chagee elevates and modernizes the tea experience by using high quality ingredients combined with novel extraction techniques to enhance the natural flavors. You won't get endless options and ton of additives. Their approach is tea forward and simplified in order to let the carefully curated tea ingredients shine! The flavors are unique and bold. Chagee's signature BOYA tea features a special blend of premium tea leaves extracted to perfection. The flavors are a careful balance of floral and earthy tones while remaining grounded and simple. The texture is smooth and even silky. The aroma is intoxicating and addicting. Combined together, this delivers a cup that is as close to perfection as it can get. The atmosphere of the "modern tea house" as they like to label it is immaculate. It's modern yet simple and elegant. It exudes fashion and confidence while not foregoing utility for looks alone. While aesthetically pleasing, the seating is actually quite comfortable, the lights are the perfect color temperature and intensity, and the decor is peaceful and soothing with their merchandise on display serving as a splash of color with their recognizable pattern. Examining the walls will also provide you with simple illustration and explanation of the various methods of tea preparation over the decades and how the techniques have evolved. Chagee has their own signature equipment and methodology to use pressurized water to extract the tea flavors while preserving the tea's natural essence and boldness while insuring consistency and output. The staff moves in a choreographed manner where every movement is precise and calculated, embodying the art of making tea while insuring consistency and quality in the preparation. They are also just extremely friendly and seem happy to work here, going out of their way to help you make sure you get the right order for you and your personal preferences. There are other Chinese tea chains that have more of the assembly line approach down to a science with an endless army of employees, making them even quicker and more efficient but can't complain too much. While yes, the lines are still crazy long and depending on when you come you may wait upwards of two hours or not at all, Chagee is a magical experience that is a special treat for everyone. Given the popularity, you may even run into an influencer or two; hi Andy and Michelle! I look forward to the day their stores are everywhere and you don't have to wait for a magic in a cup. The name in Chinese loosely translates to Tea Empress as the logo implies, but even more so, it's a play on words and references the famous Farewell My Concubine Opera. Overall, if you love tea forward flavors and appreciate the artistry that goes into modern and high end tea preparation, you'll absolutely love what Chagee has to offer!

By far the best tea shop i've been to with great quality tea! Made the drive out to try Chagee after the hyped died down and it was worth it! Wait was a solid 10 min and another 10 to get my order. I got the BOYA tea latte (jasmine green) + Peace Oolong tea latte and they did not disappoint! The aesthetic of this place is so neat and crisp. I need to come back to get their merch!

Came to see what the hype is about and was surprised by the ambiance. Rlly nice and nicely packaged , staff quick and friendly. The mall is a bit stinky on the parking fees but if you park within 30 mins you'll be able to get your drinks and go as the location is very easy to find. The Boya tea is as imagined, very fragrant. Peach oolong on the other hand was meh. Prolly would just come back and get Boya again. The tag also says how much caffeine is there which is nice.

My friend and I wanted to check this place out after dinner at the US's first and only Chagee location. Luckily, there is a very short line around 7:30 p.m. on Sunday. Downloading their app gives you a 15% first-time customer discount. We both ordered the Large Boya Tea Latte with ice. You can customize the sugar level and how much ice you want. The tea tastes fresh, and smells so good. They have merchandise on display, but it is not currently available for purchase. The service was regular service. Nobody stood out (not too friendly, and not rude)

Holy moly is it crowded here. Was just shopping and saw this line, so we decided to try it. I heard it's their first US store. It's a really pretty store, gorgeous cups and bags, but just okay drinks. I'm not sure if it's because they're in such a rush when we were there. The employees looked and sounded really tired. The girl at the handoff station was super positive though despite how busy it was; the guy at the register, not so much. The lady that looked like a supervisor or manager kept telling us to move forward in line even though we were pretty close to the people in front of us.. like this isn't going to make it move faster, just less comfortable. Overall cool place, decent drinks, but not really worth the time or money. Nearly 40 mins from line to drink, and at $6.50 a drink? Eh.

I went to Chagee twice. Once during their grand opening and again three weeks later. On the grand opening, I won a tumbler. Then I got a text stating that they were having some technical difficulties in the redemption of the prizes and to come back after the grand opening 5/12 to 5/26 to claim your prize. I came back on 5/25 and they would not honor it. I even told them about the text message. They knew nothing about it. I sent an email to customer service. It's been over 30 days with no response. My review of their teas. I tried their latte. No option except whole milk. The second time I tried their unsweetened tea. It left a bitter aftertaste. The pastries were not fresh. All this blitz advertising and social media do not live up to their service and teas. DJ's rating: .20/5.00 Would I come back? Definitely not.

Finally got to try this place as I have been wanting to try it in china but haven't had the chance to. line wasn't too bad when i went on a sunday afternoon, probably took around 20 minutes from beginning to getting my drink. staff was very friendly and helpful as well. i got the boya jasmine milk tea and the roasted oolong. they currently only have 5 items on the menu so i rlly hope they expand their menu soon. the boya is pretty good and has a strong aroma. the roasted oolong was decent at first but got really bitter as i kept drinking it.

There's an app for Chagee & you can get 15% off your 1st order. You can also order pick up, we got there before the rush and the service was fast. You can see your place in line on the app or the right side of the screen. I ordered the Boya Milk Tea, it was a slight jasmine flavor that isn't overly sweet. My friend ordered the Peach Oolong, unsweetened and refreshing. The place itself fits perfectly with the aesthetic of Century City, modern and a great spot to chill.

This is for authentic tea lovers! It's way too good to pass up! So what really attracted me to this store is how they designed their exterior and interior. It's very modern, inviting and simple yet sleek. I mean it's a good place to get your tea cravings fixed. They have very simple menu which will not make you go crazy in going over everything! I love their Peach Oolong Tea Latte, which is very milk tea like taste but the tea base that's from China, tasted fresh, smooth and flavourful! With this being a tea, I like that I'm having caffeine fix but not as strong as coffee. Another Favourite is their Ceylon Tea Latte - cold, the taste is very chai like but not chai. Creamy and comforting beverage. This tea is specifically from Sri Lanka per the server, it's very good! For their pastry, we ordered their Ricotta cake and Cheese and bacon scone, which are good options!

Came here on a busy Sunday. Waited about 5 minutes in line before ordering. The drinks came out after another 30 minutes. The inside is obviously very busy, but the service provided was very good. I would recommend ordering on the app and coming when your order is ready. Really cool decorations around and small tables to wait for your drink. Hoping to have more locations in the future!

I did drive all the way from San Diego on a Monday right around lunch time to get Chagee because I needed to satisfy my cravings since my last trip to China. It was still quite busy. Ordering took about 5-6 minutes, pickup took about 10-15 minutes, so I was in and out pretty efficiently for how crowded it was. I got the boya regular tea with no adjustments and safe to say, I could easily had gone for another one right afterward. Price wise is comparable (prob better than other boba places I've had in Los Angeles) but definitely more expensive than it would be in China, which is expected. I missed the flavor and just a touch of China. I appreciate the great service and comfortable atmosphere!
