Matcha Latte
Betty C.

Asha Tea House is a cute spot with great seating and a menu worth exploring, and I'd happily come back to try their teas. I got a matcha latte with whole milk at standard sweetness, and the sweetness level was just right for me and I would probably do just a little less. You can taste the matcha itself, which comes through slightly astringent and umami-forward and each cup is hand whisked. For my taste, though, it was a bit too milky, and I wished I got an extra shot of matcha to make it more matcha-forward. The space is super cute and offers plenty of seating, which makes it a nice place to settle in. Their matcha is also very affordable, which is a plus. I liked this one overall and I'm hoping to return to try more of their teas next time. A little more matcha and less milk and this would be an easy favorite!

Swung by at 3PM on a weekday and unfortunately, they were already sold out of their seasonal tea options that I had really wanted to try. There was a bit of a line when I arrived, but the store had emptied out by the time I got my drank. They've got a few high tops that seat 15ish, but I'd expect to grab your items to go if it's not a weekday. Iced Matcha Latte: My biggest pet peeve is a dusty matcha latte and you literally hate to see it. Is it the worst matcha latte I've ever had: no, but it definitely disappointed me anyways :(

Good but definetly a hype shop, unless they have the cool flavors they advertise. When I visited, they only had very basic flavors other than lavender as everything "exotic" or different was not in season. I visited mainly to try their "cool" flavors such as blood orange, but it was not available. (Not their fault, should've checked doordash/looked for an updated menu) I ended up getting a Lavender oolong, but I'd definetly check out their doordash before visiting in case you want to try their blood orange or asian pear flavors and its not in season. The drink was good, but it wasn't what I came for and I most likely would've not visited if I knew the blood orange wasn't available. Inside was pretty crowded and bright. They had lots of guest dining in and enjoying their tea. The service was great, staff was kind. It was quick and easy for me to order and grab my drink.

Raspberry Matcha Latte
Nicole D.

First time at an Asha's Tea House! Staff was very kind and gave recommendations. Didn't have to wait long at like 11 on a Saturday. There are some small tables in the shop but took it go. It was perfectly not too sweet with just enough raspberry flavor! We were hoping to get the blood orange flavor but that was out of season. I would come back again to try another drink!

I used to go to the Berkeley location all the time as a college student, was great to visit the SF location. This time I ordered the asian pear green tea. The pear puree was tasty, tea flavor came through nicely, and the drink overall was light and refreshing. Staff was very quick with making the drinks. Inside was very clean, peaceful vibes. There were some small teapots and other ceramics available for sale. Can't wait to come back and try more of their drinks!

I heard about Asha Tea House and I can't believe this was my first time trying! I had the Matcha Strawberry Cold, and it was so good. The matcha was smooth and earthy, while the strawberry added just the right amount of sweetness and freshness. I ordered through DoorDash pickup, and the pickup process was quick and easy. My drink was ready on time, making it a convenient option. The shop itself has a cozy atmosphere, and the service was friendly and efficient. After finally trying it, I can definitely see why Asha Tea House has such a loyal following. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

Strawberry Matcha Latte
Elim K.

I actually went here pre pandemic so during my walk downtown I was excited to see that Asha is still around. I ended up getting the strawberry matcha slightly sweetened. I wouldn't say it's my favorite but I did enjoy it. I typically like matcha drinks to be a little bolder in flavor but it felt kind of light hence the once star drop. I took it to go but the interior of the shop looked cute. I could see myself getting some work done or reading a book inside.

Stumbled upon this with my friend, I got the regular iced matcha latte and she got the blood orange matcha latte. The iced matcha latte was perfect~ the blood orange matcha latte was interesting in a good way! You taste both the orange and the matcha, it was a perfect balance of the two. It's a super cute matcha cafe. They sell matcha here and other teas. Service was fast and they were all very helpful.

Asha, you're still one of my favorite Bay Area tea places. 5/5 every time! The only trouble I ever have is either the wait because the lines are so long, or me being unable to decide between all the good flavors. This is my favorite season (Feb-March) with Asian pear and blood orange. It's super refreshing and not like other places where they use syrup. Here they use the real fruit and it shows. Since I'm diabetic I appreciate the ability to have no added sugar in my drink, and they always do a great job of listening to me about less ice. Worth the $7, just take my $$$$$!!!

Iced HK Milk Tea w Grass Jelly (~$7)
Aya E.

Ordered: Iced HK Milk Tea w Grass Jelly (~$7) Aya's take: Convenient location with a few tables/chairs making this an easy spot to stop by if you need a caffeine boost. We got the Iced HK Milk Tea w Grass Jelly. It was pretty lackluster for me; it was fragrant and spiced but I wonder if it's because I asked for reduced sweetness. The Grass Jelly was also too big to comfortably sip on. There's plenty of other boba spots in the Bay, and maybe this one just wasn't for me.

Hong Kong milk tea (left) and black milk tea (right)
Thaila N.

Decent but not amazing milk tea. Does satisfy the craving, though! I got a regular black milk tea, 75% sweet, and this wasn't sweet enough. Luckily the boba was sweet and chewy, so that helped. The milk tea itself was pretty watery and lacked the tea flavor. I also got to try the hong kong milk tea with regular sweetness, which was definitely the better drink but still eh. Probably wouldn't come back as there are many other milk tea spots that I would want to try!

Matcha cold drinks.
Lucy L.

Excellent tea shop with many fine tea options ranging from various grades of matcha to Hojicha, masala chai, Hong Kong milk tea, to herbal teas. They sell drinks hot or cold by the cup or also you can buy loose leaf bags. Also offerings of milk, fruit sparklers and lemonade. And some baked goods as snacks. They have an iced coffee too. Very nice and serene environment. Good sized drinks for iced large matcha. Smooth and very good quality.

Blood Orange Matcha Latte
Justin A.

Travel days always call for a solid caffeine stop, and this one came through in a big way. While on a work trip to SF, I found Asha tea house near my hotel and was immediately taken cared of. The cashier was super kind, walked me through some popular teas, and even pointed out a few underrated seasonal options. I ended up ordering the blood orange matcha with oat milk, and wow... heavenly. Blood orange matcha is a such a fun and unexpected combo, but it worked so well. Prices were great for the matcha quality which made the experience even better. Loved it enough to come back the very next morning for the same drink, and I'd happily do it again next time I'm in the bay.

We met him last year and were so excited to return and bring our kids this time.

Uncle G is truly a legend--warm, welcoming, and full of life. His energy and vitality are incredible, especially when you consider his age. It's fitting for a place called Vital Tea Leaf, because he really embodies it. The tea tasting itself is wonderful, with the chance to try a wide variety of teas in a relaxed, social setting. What makes it stand out even more is how it brings people together--visitors from all over the world end up chatting, sharing stories, and connecting over tea. It's one of those rare stops in Chinatown that feels personal, memorable, and genuinely uplifting. We're so glad we came back.

I typically don't add any sweeteners but was surprised at how their high quality milk had a little bit of sweetness (perhaps from the lactose?) that balanced the matcha nicely. The matcha americano with matcha snow top was also impressive. The americano was nicely mixed to begin with and paired well with the creamy, slightly sweet and slightly salty matcha cream without compromising the matcha bitterness. There were two lines - one for the kiosk and the other for staff. Since the latter line was shorter I thought I could get my order in early but the lady was *struggling* to get my orders straight and I had to repeat multiple times + she ultimately had to ask her co-workers how to edit. If it wasn't for this, I would have probably given them a 5. Drinks came out at a reasonable time but wish they cleaned the extra cream off the side. Despite the logistical hiccups I enjoyed my matcha drinks and would come back if I was craving matcha and in the area again.

There is nowhere I feel more safe and comfortable connecting with people in a real open and vulnerable away. I can't tell you the number of people I see come in and immediately their spirits are lifted after entering the space. VIBE is the most appropriate word for describing the ambiance-decor is magical and calming about sitting on ground and pouring tea in a half below grand basement. I almost always suggest to meet up with friends from all walks of life at the space because of it breeds vulnerability. Make no mistake this is not a cafe as there is no coffee or cooked food. The space has endured it's own challenges with balancing a community (open to the public), business, co-living, yoga, events, etc... I hope we can raise the space to a new transcendent level in 2025.

When I went on a Sunday afternoon, there were quite a few people there to talk or work on their laptops. I admit this place is a bit too "woowoo" for me, but I'm sure for some other people this would be a good fit for their desired atmosphere.

Parking nearby is horrendous, super busy even on the weekdays before the rush hour so I can't imagine weekends when people are out or other high traffic times. Get ready to make some rounds and pay for parking and be careful since there's very specific signage and times. The cafe itself is cute and cozy. Front area is a gift shop with lots of cat themed gifts and goodies like keychains, stickers, and such, and also some items from local and small artists too, which is neat. The cafe also has community events like movie showings ("The Cat Returns" was one of them which is a great choice) and cat yoga. If you're local, you can also get a time stamp if you are a frequent visitor. Definitely follow their socials for more information. There's reservations online and you can also do walk ins if it's not super busy. You can book for a 55 minute visit or a 30 minute visit. PRO-TIP: There's a discount for students, so if you want to be surrounded by some feline friends while you study or relax, great place to do so. You can hang your coat on the rack and there's a mini shelf area for your shoes. So you gotta walk in with socks! With each visit you can either get a hot cup of tea or a cold can or box drink from their fridge (sparking water, juices, etc.). Very refreshing and you can enjoy it in the cat area too. Sanitize your hands before and after visiting. There's lots of cats hiding around, sleeping, walking around, and some are super friendly and will go into your lap. There's toys you can play with the cats with and there's a wall of adoptable cats. Lots of seats or you can opt to sit on the floor with the cats too. There's relaxing lo-fi music throughout too. Pretty cool that they rescued 2 cats from Qatar and neat that we got to see them. As with all cats, some can be a bit spicy but it's usually just a warning teeth rub. I own cats so there's nothing new. I'm horribly allergic to the cat that specifically lives in my house, but I didn't get an allergy here, meaning that the cats are clean and well taken for. My favorite was a large sleepy orange boy, Ron (permanent non-adoptable resident) that was hanging out next to me the entire time.
