    First visit here and was in awe with the secret garden ambience. Friendly staff and place is kept clean. Ordered the Tiger Sugar Boba Milk with mango jelly. Loved the brown sugary and creamy flavor with jelly and boba with every sip. 3 enclosed booth seating for privacy are available. Low lounging padded seats and a low lap top table for customer's convenience. Another area seating having that feeling you're out by a garden wall. The hanging planter box with vinyl natural looking plants from the ceiling added an outdoor garden look above a seating table.

    We've given this place several chances, but the service remains terrible. Actually, there's practically no service at all. They have only one person in the back making drinks, and you're required to place orders on an iPad. If you have questions, you're stuck waiting forever for that one employee to come out and assist. Even when you order online, you'll end up waiting an extra 30 minutes after receiving the message that your order is ready.

    Good drinks. Not so good? The wait. We had 4 drinks (2 milk teas, smoothie, flavored tea), 2 plant-pot ice creams and a flan... 20 minutes with no one waiting before us on a Saturday early evening. Lots of laughter coming from the kitchen but no drinks in sight. I stood at the cashier stand and someone came out from the back and asked if I needed to order something. I said no, I'm just waiting for our order that we placed 20 minutes ago... Her response to me was that they make their drinks fresh so it takes a while. I stood there dumbfounded. Doesn't everyone make their drinks fresh? I guess they were milking a cow in the back, seeping each flavored tea, cooking the boba and churning the ice cream. We were going to come back the next day to try out something different from their very extensive menu, but it's really not worth the wait. Perhaps they should remove some items from the menu and focus on making their "fresh" items instead.

    Out of Boba Again

    I love this place when they have what they sell available. Unfortunately, they are always between batches of Boba and the wait can last between 40 minutes to an hour for a drink. This is the norm for this location; hopefully management learns how to fix this issue. It seems very simple to keep multiple batches going so that there aren't long lags without prepared boba. Edited to one star after I waited for 40 minutes in the store for my drink before they called my number to tell me they were out of boba and it would be an hour before it was ready. I asked for a refund and they refunded the amount for my drink but kept the tip.

    1102 Bubble Tea & Coffee is the first bubble tea place that I had ever been to. It started my love for bubble tea. It is some of the best bubble tea that I have had, and now I live in Dallas where i'm surrounded by bubble tea places. In or around Waco, there are not that many places you can get bubble tea. So it is a very special place that is unique for Waco. I would say that it is up to par with the Dallas bubble tea businesses. My favorite drink is the Tiger Sugar Boba Milk. Very tasty and reminds me of the black sugar boba drinks in Dallas. Come try this place out! It's super cute, has chills vibes, and k-pop music. What more could you want?

    Super cute shop! They have great service and great boba. If they have egg rolls when you go, try them! They're really good. The dumplings are also good. They recently started being cashless, so card only.

    Out of the four -ish places that does Boba in Waco, this one is definitely the best quality,but also has the highest prices. They have a lot of versatile flavors and teas, and there's really no way you can go wrong with the choices. Don't be intimidated by all the options! I recommend the oolong black taro bubble tea. During COVID they are not doing dine in, but you can go in to order.

    1102 Bubble Tea and Coffee Newer Bubble Tea place in Waco. Interior decor is nice and very modern. Like the tent style semi private japenese cubicals. Strawberry Sorbet was very tasty and enjoyed. Milk Tea with Boba was a favorite of my daughters. Everyone welcomes this place to Waco!

    My husband and I were in town visiting family and I wanted to grab a boba drink. I went on Yelp and found this place, the reviews didn't look too bad and it was on the way home. When we pulled into the parking lot it was small and the shop looked empty/closed. The shop itself is very cute, they have seating areas that are well decorated. The menu has a good selection of milk teas, smoothies, and slushies. I ordered a large Strawberry Milk Tea with boba and my husband got a Vietnamese Coffee. There were only 2 people working so service was really slow, it took about 20 minutes to get our drinks. This was all during the COVID-19 so I understand they're taking precautions by having fewer workers. The Strawberry Milk Tea was pretty good, I really enjoyed my drink. The boba had a nice chewy texture. The sugar level was a little sweeter than I would have liked, but it was ok. My husband's Vietnamese Coffee had more ice than coffee (see pictures) so I took 1 star off for that. Overall, it's a cute boba shop that has IG worthy decorations, the drinks are pretty good depending on what you order. Ice level is definitely a problem that needs attention. Will I come back? Ehh not sure how I feel about it.

    Maybe it's time to figure out a more efficient way to make a drink?!?! Drink selection is wonderful, plus the place is super cute. However, the wait is ATROCIOUS. When we walked in, there were three people waiting. Two of them received their order 10 minutes after we placed ours and the third waited 25 min. after we arrived. How long had they been waiting before we got here? We're way past 30 min in, as you can see from our ticket and the time this posted, and still don't have our drinks.

    So happy to finally have a bubble tea place in Waco - definitely better than the current situation of ordering bubble tea from an Asian restaurant. Since it's still pretty new, I'm keeping my hopes up that this place will only continue to improve. I really hope they have the option to change the "your order's ready" buzzers from the mildly disturbing beeping to a softer vibration instead. I went to place my order of oolong lychee milk tea, but the cashier told me that people "don't order lychee with oolong because it's a strong tea." She offered to let me try the oolong to see what she meant but handed me a small cup and said "here's the black tea" and then proceeded to input my order for black tea with lychee...I enjoyed the drink but felt like this was pretty rude on her part. The milk tea was a bit too sweet and had more milk than I normally like in my tea so any flavor of the tea was overshadowed. I did enjoy the agar boba, which is basically just crystal boba if you've seen it by that name at other places.

    Coconut black tea with boba

    The place is cozy, the drinks yummy and the employees are so nice and helpful. I picked up my kids from school and made a stop here for some bubble tea. We got 5 black tea with bubbles, one coconut, one strawberry and 3 mangoes. I called for the order because I didn't want to bring them all in. The lady that took my order was nice enough to order to bring me my order at my car. I so appreciate this.

    Staff is friendly but the wait to get your drink is SUPER LONG. The flavor of the drinks was good so it made up for the wait.

    The Vietnamese black coffee with boba topping was the perfect afternoon wake-me-upper. I will definitely get another in the near future.

    When I went a couple of months ago the tapioca was really mushy, and not sweetened. The drink itself was pretty good, though!

I got the hojicha with oat milk, no sugar, regular ice and matcha strawberry (that was da bomb!). They were also able to accommodate my hubs who can't have dairy or sugar! He got a jasmine green tea iced and he was very happy. BUT what really made this trip so special was the yummy eats we got to go with our drinks. We got pan fried veg mandoo, bbq pork steamed bao, and green onion pancake. I grew up spending the weekends in Flushing, Queens eating these type of snacks and boy, eating these brought me back to those good times!

    Drink: I ordered a large peach green tea with boba, no ice,…read moreand it was fantastic. The tea was brewed beautifully , fresh, balanced, and not syrupy sweet like some other boba spots. The boba itself was perfectly chewy and just sweet enough to complement the drink, not overpower it. I also really appreciated that, even with no ice, they filled my cup completely to the top. Simple, thoughtful detail and it makes all the difference. Service: The staff here was genuinely kind and patient. I asked a few questions about sweetness levels and tea bases (I'm mindful about sugar intake), and they answered every one with care, no judgment, no pressure, no upselling. They made the drink exactly how I ordered it and didn't try to push other menu options on me. That respect and attentiveness go such a long way. Ambiance: Cha Community has such a warm, creative vibe, red brick walls, cozy coffeehouse energy, indie music, local art, and stickers that make the space feel personal and loved. The whole café smelled amazing, and you can tell they've put heart into the details. It's the kind of place that feels like a little pocket of calm and connection in the middle of the day. Overall: Highly recommend stopping here if you're in Waco. The experience was night and day, proof that quality, care, and consistency matter more than anything else. Refer to my Poppa Bear review if you want the comparison, but honestly, just come to Cha Community first.
