My husband and I order take out boba weekly here, we like the fresh brewed flavor. The tea is good but the boba is not consistent: sometimes too hard or too sweet or not sweet at all. I have also been purchasing their loose leaf tea for past year regularly to support our expensive home tea habit. During my first in store visit about a year ago I ordered a matcha and didn't realize it came automatically sweetened (disappointing for a high end tea spot) but the staff were unfriendly and unhelpful and I ended up tossing it. Nowhere to sit that day so we had to take our tea to go after all. Today had the day off decided to go with my husband for a sit down tea again. We purchased $259 in loose leaf tea. I received a complimentary hojicha. I asked for a light steeping (though apparently it is mixed from a concentrate). I received the drink too hot to drink and too strong for me so asked for a splash of milk. Bar staff (again unfriendly) made a show about asking management and measured out the 2 tablespoons of cold milk and chastized me to order a "milk tea" next time. I was embarassed and this pretty much ruined my experience. Two top tables were full of single seated students on laptops so not much ambiance for sitting either -we didn't stay long. Will be taking our future business elsewhere unfortunately. For other tea aficionados we recommend Blue Willow- great atmosphere, service and tea! read more

This is my go-to tea spot for workdays. They have an exceptional variety of teas (caffeinated and non-caffeinated depending on your needs). Their organic matcha latte with oat milk is my favorite. I am also a huge fan of their boba- it's super fresh because it's made in-house daily! Unfortunately, boba isn't ready until 11am, so you'll have to plan accordingly. read more

Asha Tea House - Iced matcha latte with oat milk at the tea bar - Tea Rooms Near Me - Berkeley, California

Consistently awesome but not spectacular They have an extensive selection of boba/MT and tea. They also sell some pastries (ie donuts from Third Culture) and tea cups. Drinks: 1. Jasmine green MT: 50% sugar, no ice, w/ boba, the drink is slightly watered down (some days less than others?) = pretty good (for me) 2. Black MT: 50% sugar, no ice, w/ boba = pretty good (for me) 3. HK MT: 50% sugar, no ice, w/ boba = still good, on the sweeter side, NOT watered down, you can definitely taste that "hong kong milk tea" flavor in it, will not be the best you'll ever have BUT I will come back for more! I love their boba; it has just the right amount of chewiness and texture to it! There were 1-2 days where boba ran out at the end of the day. No longer uses "five stars" rewards. Staff is friendly and polite. Drinks come out relatively quickly. read more

This is my go-to boba spot in Berkeley. I always get the hojicha latte with boba, sometimes iced, and sometimes hot, depending on the weather. The hojicha flavor is strong, and without modifying sweetness, not too sweet (I usually get 0-25% sweetness at other places). The boba is perfectly soft, chewy, and sweet. My sister always gets an iced fruit tea, and loves how they have a rotating menu of different flavors so each time she can try something new. Ordering online for pick up is super convenient, although approximately 10% of the time, the drinks are not ready by the promised time. This is important because parking is impossible in the area and I usually have my sister hop out of the car to grab the drinks while I wait in the car. One time (out of close to a hundred times I've been here), our drinks did not have boba in them and we had to go back (the hot drinks come in paper cups so we couldn't see inside), so take a sip before you leave! read more

This is my go-to tea shop whenever I'm in Berkeley/Oakland area. I essentially only get the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea. A lot of my friends recommend their seasonal fruit teas. I have yet to try them, but definitely on my list to try! I generally have 3 major factors for rating a boba shop: tea flavor, pearls, and whether I need to adjust sweetness. This shop fits all three criteria: tea taste is prominent enough, pearls are not overly chewy yet not overly firm and their sweetness compliments the bitter tea flavors, and I noticed that I don't need to adjust the percentage of sweetness. read more

Why have I not written a review on you my dear Asha?! You truly deserve a HUGE THUMBS UP from me! Forgive me for taking a while to write something wonderful about you. Whenever I'm in Berkeley or in the surrounding area, I try to make it a point to come here because I LOVE their iced matcha latte. If you follow me on Yelp, you know I'm a super fan of matcha and the matcha here is amazing! I would say it's on par with the matcha in Japan. Cool Stuff to Note: - The music. Right now, they're playing R&B. - There's a bathroom inside. - The interior is cool. It's clean, industrial-looking, and has a high vaulted ceiling. - They have a rewards program. - They serve VERVE Coffee Roasters. - They have baked goods inside. - You can buy cups, reusable straws, their T-shirts, and more in here. NOTE: Finding parking kinda sucks around here. Anyway, I love you ASHA and I'll totally be back to visit you soon! read more

This review is for the strawberry matcha latte. It was pretty mediocre. The strawberry didn't stand out. I requested boba in it but the barista forgot it but was able to add it after I informed her. I wish I didn't because the boba was undercooked. Boba Guys makes a better strawberry matcha. read more

Ehh came back again because Asha has been my go to place for tea in Berk. However, the quality of drinks we got today were not up to my standard and service was meh today. Workers are mostly college students and aren't the most welcoming. Drinks we got today: Hojicha Latte: 5/10 stars Hojicha Latte was very watered down, could not taste any hint of tea in it. Also lacked sugar and I couldn't customize/change this on their site. Will pass on it. Note to self: stick with their matcha drinks or seasonal fruit teas; switching it up was a big mistake. Matcha Float: 5/10 stars The Matcha Float also seemed a bit watered down compared to how they usually make it. Matcha was also not well-blended, could taste hints of powdery texture in drink. Additionally, by the time it was ready for pickup, most of the ice cream melted. Ice cream looked like melting glacier that was submerged in matcha drink. Overall, I've been loyal to Asha for years. However, as of recent, it just seems like their quality has gone down. Last two experiences I've had were not the best. And with One Plus having higher quality matcha lattes and unique fruit teas, along with better service, I might have to betray Asha and jump ship. read more

We tried Lemon Jasmine Green Tea (with grass jelly), Asian Pear Oolong tea (with boba), and Tapioca Milk Tea (with boba). The drinks are of decent quality, nothing too fancy, but a good choice. For us, the Lemon drink was a tad too sour at 50% sugar. Tapioca drink was pretty standard. For the Asian Pear, you can feel the granularity of the ingredient which is pretty unique. The texture may be a bit off for some people, but we liked it. read more

How refreshing was a stop at Asha on a hot weekend afternoon! It wasn't very crowded, with some customers eating some lunch or studying while enjoying their beverages. There wasn't a line and I was able to order right away. I was intrigued by the seasonal menu offering with green tea and seasonal fruit, so I ordered the lychee sencha green tea. The drink's flavor was light and delicate. The lychee flavor was naturally derived from the actual fruit, which was a nice change from artificial flavors that one would typically find in boba/milk tea. The tea itself was also very light and not over-steeped which typically brings out the grassy flavor of sencha. I also got to try the blueberry green tea and HK coffee milk tea which were both very good. Prices in general were a bit higher than one would typically expect for boba/milk tea, but it seems the shop focuses more on higher end, small batches of tea and so the price point seemed reasonable. I would definitely come back to this shop next time and try the sparklers or some of the other milk teas. read more

Came here at around 4pm on a Monday. Was told that they ran out of boba, and it'd take 15-20 minutes to prepare. I didn't want to wait that long, so I ordered an oolong milk tea with lavender. I wanted to like this place because I've heard a lot about it through friends, but I thought the drink tasted too watered down and the milk wasn't creamy enough. Perhaps if I were to come back, I would try their more popular drinks. read more

Recently came during covid times to remember the good old times but sadly it did not live up to my memories. I had the hong kong coffee, which I remembered to be so rich and flavourful but the one I had this time was pretty watery and just meh. It was lacking in strength of coffee flavour, condensed milk was weak, and overall was kind of sad. FYI, University is closed off right now so the only way you could get to the location now is by walking from somewhere else. read more

First time trying Asha and kind of set high expectations based on the Yelp ratings. Was a little disappointed, I'm not going to lie... I kind of feel bad leaving a 2-star rating, but im basing it on my experience Okay, for me, boba was a 4/5, drink was like, a 1.5/5 lmao... I ordered the Hojicha Milk Tea and I could not taste the tea at all. I felt like it was all milk and just super watered down. No toast-y notes or tea flavor at all! *sigh* the boba is cooked well and sweetened well though, I'll give them that! I've had better tasting boba tho Customer service was meh. I felt like the person taking my order wasn't helpful, especially after I told her it was my first time trying this place. I just wanted a little bit of guidance and direction to whats popular here, ya know?! Maybe then I wouldn't have ordered a hojicha bc it was clear to me after the fact that it's not the the best drink on the menu here.... I will say, I do appreciate that a milk sub for +.25 cents is a phenomenal deal--I never see that (it's always $1 extra) so that's super cool! Will visit another time MAYBE and give it another chance....... read more

My favorite boba place ever! The space is calming and there are tables to sit and chat or study at. All the drinks here are wonderful and so well-made. Some of my favorites are the Hong Kong Milk Tea and the Blueberry Tea. Tonight we got the Jasmine Green Milk Tea. Asha's drinks are not too sweet and you can really taste the tea flavor. Always a great experience here! read more

Visited Asha Tea House because I had to do a quick errand in the East Bay. The coffee shop was clean but very few people compared to pre-pandemic. I remember coming here and I would see a lot of university students coming in and out and some sitting in with their laptops studying. I ordered the Hojicha latte and it was good. I wish the drink was a little bit hotter since it was a cold day. I saw a customer who went up to a worker and asked to make the drink hotter but I didn't want to trouble the worker (especially during a pandemic). Nonetheless, I got my drink and I was happy with it. I think I prefer their hojicha latte over the matcha one. read more

Asha tea house has a clean, chic, modern and very inviting interior. They have a counter height sitting area which overlooks the street and is decorated with ceramic tea bowls, and more nice sitting area in the back. Good selection of artisanal tea drinks and you can customized them anyway you want. We had the iced matcha latte with oat milk, and mango passionfruit tea drink with grass jelly. We liked and enjoyed both our drinks, especially on a warm day when we visited. The prices are a bit high but the ingredients they use are high quality and you can taste it in their drinks. read more

Love asha - lots of different teas and different seasonal flavors. In addition they have a tea bar which lets you try a bit of their loose leaf teas before you buy as well as try out some of their different tea equipment which is great. Usually quite crowded and impossible to find a seat - though not during covid of course. Their fruit teas are awesome and super different flavors, and actually brewed from tea not powder! read more

Coming straight from the South Bay, Downtown Berkeley was a nightmare to drive through, but the drive to Asha Tea House was totally worth it in my opinion. I got myself the Hong Kong Milk Tea with honey boba, with less sugar and ice. My drink was quickly assembled, and it tasted pretty good; I wished the tea was a bit stronger, but it's a pretty minor issue. Love how the boba was made in-house, great texture and all. I enjoyed the Mochi Muffin a lot. It is a novelty item that attracts those who are looking for a sweet and chewy snack. Very similar to the ones in a boba place near my place called Teaspoon. Along with the friendly customer service and great choice of aesthetics, I can see why this place has such a high reputation. Berkeley, you really outdid yourself with this establishment. I think it was a missed opportunity for me to not check out the matcha options. I heard plenty of great things about them. Looking forward to checking Asha Tea House again in the future! read more

Came here for dessert after eating at the Berkeley Social Club a few stores down around 2 PM on a Saturday. It wasn't too crowded; I saw a steady stream of people come and go and get drinks from here along the street as well as people who bought drinks while waiting for a spot at restaurants nearby. It was a shame that they were out of Jasmine green tea pastries because they seemed so good! Right now it is a pick up and go type of store due to coronavirus, like the register is right at the door and you just stand around and wait. The ordering process was quick and easy and there's contactless pay. I got the matcha latte. it's naturally sweetened but I think it's definitely adjusted to Asian taste because it wasn't overly sweet like other milk tea shops. Matcha seemed to be the most popular ones that I saw people holding. It was a good caffeine fix but I had to drink it fast so that it wouldn't be diluted. The matcha taste really came through in the drink and I just had regular milk with it. Nothing fishy-tasting or powdery at all. I could tell from the menu and the selection in general that this is a high-quality tea store. I wish I'll have more chances to come back and try their other teas! read more

The inside of this tea house was super aesthetic and they had a wide variety of unique drinks!! Both my sister and I got the lemon jasmine green tea that was so refreshing and really hit the spot. Although I usually get less sugar in my drinks, I wouldn't really recommend doing that here, because their drinks aren't that sweet to start off with and can end up tasting a bit watery. But asides from that, the boba texture was so great and I really enjoyed the authentic tea flavor combined with the lemon juice! It tasted a lot like 愛玉/ai yu (a lemon flavored Taiwanese jelly dessert) and was the perfect drink for a hot summer day read more

To be honest, I'm a bit conflicted about Asha... I'm giving it a 4-star cause I appreciate that their teas are high quality and they have some unique fruit tea options that you can't find anywhere else. Plus it's got a nice ambiance and most of my tea-loving friends love it. However for me personally, I haven't found that go-to drink yet that makes me want to keep coming back. I've tried their fruit teas as well as their matcha latte. They were all good, especially if you appreciate tea. But the drinks tend to be less sweet and I always forget and get 50% sugar (my go-to anywhere else). So then I'm kind of disappointed at the bitterness haha. In any case, this place is good enough that I keep wanting to try more options, but I wouldn't rate it as one of my favorite boba/tea shops. read more

Good quality teas. I've tried 3 of their cold drinks - matcha latte with boba, blood orange oolong and Asian pear oolong. All were really good. Matcha was nice and creamy - not too sweet. Blood orange was refreshing if you want a light drink after a heavy meal. Finally, the Asian pear oolong, that one was not as good as I imagined it to be. I got it half sweeten because I really wanted to taste the oolong which did come through. But for some reason, the drink seemed off. Maybe I just didn't like how the asian pear flavor was incorporated in there. I just didn't fancy it. read more

Like any spot to study at near campus finding seating can be difficult. The tables and countertops are large enough to accommodate a good study session. They off tables, solo bar seating, and a non study section as well. Free WiFi, however there are limited power outlets so bring your electronic devices fully charged. As far as the tea goes, I had one of their green tea sets and it was the best tea I have tasted. Asha offers s large selection of various teas and their staff was great with pairing me with a tea that matched my taste. Asha has friendly staff, attentive service, and a high quality tea. read more

There's been a lot of hype around Asha Tea House with my friends. When I took a trip to Berkeley, I knew I had to take the chance to visit. Of course, when we arrived there was a long line, but we moved up to the counter fairly quickly! -- ORDER -- My friend ordered Hojicha and I got the Hong Kong Milk Tea (50% sugar, no ice). I think my drink was solid and had that really fresh tea flavor. The tea was brewed well for both my drink and my friend's (heh had sips of her's). Since the HK Milk Tea consisted of condensed milk, I expected it to be very sweet. Thus, I got my drink at 50% sugar, but I didn't taste any condensed milk at all. To be honest, I probably wouldn't be able to differentiate it from regular milk tea. If I were to order it again, I'd get the HK Milk Tea with 75%-100% sugar level. -- VIBE -- I really liked the ambiance of the shop! I absolutely love concrete walls matched with leafy plants and wooden tables. Near the window, there are also cute displays of tea sets. It was fairly crowded when we went, but I think on a less busy day, this would be a great study spot. read more

Instead of just waiting for our tables next door, we decided to grab boba next door at Asha Tea House. I've been here before but they ran out of Boba last time so I went to a different Boba spot. This time the line was long but they had Boba! The line moved pretty quickly so don't let the long line fool you. It's worth the wait! My Strawberry Matcha Latte was yummy! It's so pretty! Every time I order it, I just stare at it mesmerized at how the colors are separated. The staff is so helpful and friendly. The girl in front of me felt overwhelmed with all their choices of drinks but the staff was patient and made suggestions and helped guide her through the process. I thought that was so great of her to do that and allowed her to take her time. This is the kind of service you appreciate and makes customers come back for more! Thank you for an amazing experience, I'll be back! read more

As long as you're not coming here on the weekend, the service is super quick (as in you press order and they will already have your drink ready). I will say the HK milk tea here is the most "authentic" one out of all the boba shops here in Berkeley. If you want the closest one though you'd have to go to Oakland Chinatown but this place is the closest to the real deal. Boba here is also very solid so I usually get it. read more

My husband and I came here on last Sunday to explore their tea. We have matcha latte, hojicha milk tea & mochi muffins. The line to order wasn't long, we stood up a little bit waiting for drinks and any seat available. I have special request to have less ice and less sweet for my l;arge matcha latte. Both of us like their mochi muffin and found that was really interesting. The muffin was chewing when biting. Our drinks were good and taste really 'tea'. We liked it. The grass jelly taste different from what I have usually. We seated on the bar where we can see how the staffs preparing the drinks. They're really efficient and skillful the way they make drinks. The shop was really busy as people staying there studying or working on their laptop. This is one of the reasons difficult to find place to sit down and enjoy the drinks or snacks. read more

Have been a big fan of Asha since about 2016! My favorite boba spot because the drinks aren't overly sweet and you can really taste the tea flavor. The boba is perfect and chewy, never had a drink with hard boba here! I recommend getting full sweetness here if it is your first time since the drinks aren't as sweet as other boba shops. If you like matcha drinks, they have seasonal flavored matcha drinks which I recommend trying out. If you like brewing tea at home, you can also purchase loose leaf tea (I recommend Genmaicha--which is roasted rice green tea). The ambiance of the shop is warm and inviting, a great study spot. The workers are always friendly and helpful, and I enjoy stopping by. Have had great experiences visiting Asha over the years! Thank you for making quality drinks! read more

Asha makes the best tea drinks in Berkeley! With their selection of seasonal fruit teas and always-reliable matcha and black tea beverages, this is a must-try business in Berkeley. I frequently order their matcha latte (L: $6) and bought their quality stainless steel straw set ($5) to reduce waste. It does get expensive drinking Asha all the time so I've started splitting a large into two mornings worth of caffeine. This one store kept me awake for the month after I moved in and didn't have an electric kettle to brew my own tea. Now that my kettle arrived, I can't justify spending so much on drinks every week, but I fully intend to come back and try more of their seasonal fruit teas. One day I'd like to do the tea tasting that they offered pre-Covid. I recommend ordering ahead of time or outside of busy hours because it can get a bit crowded inside the store when there's a line. Whenever I've placed an order online in advance it's always ready at the front by the time that's listed on my receipt or within 15 minutes. For anyone else who likes to brew their own drinks, I believe the price of a tin of matcha here is close to that of Ippodo's, the brand I keep in my pantry. When I run out I'll definitely try Asha's next! They also sell fruit purees, matcha whisks, and any other specialty equipment or ingredients you may want for making a perfect cup at home. read more

I really wish I could give a higher rating to Asha Tea House. The actual shop is very aesthetic and the vibe is peaceful. Prior to pandemic, this was a nice place to sit down and have a drink. The ingredients are responsibly sourced and all the drinks are hand-crafted. They use whole leaf tea, and the drinks are refreshing. They also sell pastries as well. However, every time I come to Asha, I am disappointed. I have had almost every drink on the menu and none really stand out. I do not think the tea particularly tastes better, and the boba is a 2/5 at the best. I will comment on the actual drinks later in this review and talk about the boba quality right now. Maybe it is because I got boba later in the day (around 3pm), but the boba was hard. It was not chewy, soft or tasty. It tasted like boba that was left out for too long and/or refrigerated after being made. I heard about the impending boba shortage, so I really wanted boba, but was ultimately disappointed. Grape Oolong Tea: 3/5; I got 50% sugar and regular ice. The drink was not as fragrant or tasty as I thought it would be. I would not say the flavor of the Oolong was anything special and the grape puree in the drink was bland. Maybe it would be different if I could 100% sugar, but I doubt it. Hong Kong Milk Tea: 3/5; again, nothing special or unique. It just tasted similar to any milk tea you could get at any boba shop for a fraction of the price. Because the pricing of the drinks are on the higher end, I would expect the drinks to be better, but most are lackluster. While I recognize the importance of responsibly sourced drinks, at the end of the day, this is a boba shop. I would hope that they can balance both producing tasty drinks, in addition to using pure and real ingredients. read more

Lots of things have changed since my last review so here's an update! 1. Interiors have been revamped. The vibe is so much cleanER (it was clean already last time). It now has a more minimalist-chic zen-oriental vibe inside if that makes sense. The patrons are mostly studious students/professionals. (We are a community communing in good teas and productive work!) 2. I've actually been studying here regularly and it's been pretty good. You gotta know where the outlets are though if you're using a laptop. Don't feel intimidated to ask another customer to share tables with them. If you need to get work done, don't let sh*t stop you. Prop your laptop or book and grind on. 3. Their matcha lattes are wow. You should watch how they make it. It's legit, organic, no artificial "matcha flavor" seasoning b.s. In short, matcha latte is real wow. Their matcha milk tea is great too. Not sugary. Also their matcha macchiato. Matcha in general is healthy for you -- antioxidants and other nutrients, look it up :) 4. I see that some new additions have been included in their drink menu! They now have oolong milk tea, matcha macchiato(!)... among other selections. 5. Okay, so what really prompted me to update my review is the ginger cookie. I know I wanted a ginger cookie, but I didn't know it's a REAL deal GINGER cookie! It's got big CHUNKS of candied ginger, so if you don't like real ginger, it's not for you. If you do like real ginger without BS, this legit one is for us! I know I'm loving it. 6. They're fully staffed. Lines don't get too long anymore like it used to. Even though the lines can get long, the wait isn't long. The baristas seem well-trained because each drink I've ordered has all been consistently good. 7. Stop buying the matcha muffin/cake -- IT'S MINE :( lol! it always runs out when I arrive, I'm late in the scene. Everyone wants it. That thing is darn good. I love you, Asha Tea House. You get 5 stars. read more

I came here for my boba fix. I should've realized that I should keep walking to the next boba place after I saw that their cups have snap on lids. But I wanted to give each boba place a try. I ordered a Jasmine milk tea with boba and a sugar level of 50%. The tea tasted like cold water. There was barely any flavor. Even the sugar from the boba was not enough to make the drink tasty. Next time, I'll probably pass this location and try the other boba locations. Although, I might try other non-boba drinks and do some work in the cafe. Service was quick and friendly. read more

My ratings out of 10: PRICE - 7 (standard prices for a drink place but not very generous cup sizes) QUALITY - 8 (fresh and raw ingredients!) WAIT TIME - 9 (maybe around 5-10 min) AESTHETICS/VIBE - 7 (could use more seating) The drinks here have a pretty high quality feel, and the decor is aesthetic for a boba/drink place. Having been here as well as a couple of other boba/drink places a few times for comparison, I personally feel that the menu could be expanded - oftentimes I'm hoping for something fruity or sparkling but there aren't as many options as I would like. I've tried some of the green teas and a sparkling ginger lemonade from Asha, and though the drinks are definitely not the largest sizes for their prices, it's at least still a good place to go with friends after grabbing brunch nearby. read more
