Charuma Tea Bar

I was excited to visit Charuma because from the Google reviews and the pictures, it looks like a great quality boba shop. I like that the menu is limited but unique, and that they have lactose-free milk options! On the flip side, I was disappointed with the actual tea that we got. I got the Jasmine Milk Tea (75% sugar) with almond milk, and the XL Jasmine Green tea (no milk, 25% sugar). Both of the drinks, regardless of the sugar or milk, had a faint flavor and even felt watery at times. The only redeeming quality were the house-made bubbles, which were absolutely delicious (soft and sweet). I’m not sure if it was a one-time thing but hence, the 3 star review.

I want to love this place so bad. I order brown sugar bubble tea. I dont know not as I expected. The bobba not like regular bubble tea tapioca bobba. But their staffs super friendly and nice, the place also have very nice ambience and decoration. Small but very comfortable place. Next time I come to PVD again will try their snacks, if their snacks good, I will update my review to 5 stars.

Always read about this place, so when I in the area I came to check it out. First walk in, the place looks kinda empty and there is no AC on super hot day. Had a super large table not sure why, probably will be better with 2 smaller tables. We ordered both popcorn chicken and chicken cutlets also sweet potato fries. Speed of the drinks and food was great. Popcorn chicken is crispy and had a lot of flavor, wish there is basil will be even better. Over all, food is great and reminds me home. Drink is acceptable nothing special about it. But for sure will come back for the popcorn chicken!

Staff were sweet and helpful, we got the pu-er milk tea, something beauty milk tea, passion fruit green tea, and sweet potato fries with seaweed salt. Everything was great, seaweed salt could have been stronger and saltier though. Small location so maximum seating is basically 8 people in the whole place. Cups were adorbs

We were pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of the tea and food. We got the fried chicken cutlet and sweet potato fries w the chili and plum seasoning and it was to die for. 10/10 for quality, taste and price

Shout out to the female staff that was working at the front alone- doing both cashier and making drinks duties. She handled it super well despite numerous customers waiting. Drinks were great but the boba was too chewy/soft for me, popcorn chicken was delicious but the portion was small for the price. This place needs to hire more staff.

Well interior decor. Their specialty is homemade boba which taste really good. I like different milk options with Oat Milk, Half and Half or Almond Milk. I prefer fresh fruit tea versus syrup so I didn’t try any of the fruit tea. Hope service can be improved with more friendly attitude to customers. Strong fried chicken lack of ventilation upon walking in to the store.

I got the jasmine green tea with mango and boba. It was really flavorful and a great drink to have on a day walk. I didn’t get food but a lot of folks were digging the chicken so definitely check that out too!
