I use to like cha house! I always got one of their matcha drinks but yesterday's matcha was not good! I asked for more matcha since my drink had zero matcha flavor and they gave me more but even with that it seem like the matcha that day was off.... so they offered me another drink instead. The staff was super helpful but now I will be hesitant on ordering anything matcha as it seems the matcha quality is not the same as it use to be. I would not recommend the matcha here but their other drinks or food are good to try.
Service is great! Drinks were delicious. We got the Mango Milktea with boba and mango jelly, and Dirty Tiger milktea. We also ordered popcorn chicken and the tofu snack.
Loved this place my friend took me too. It was in a shopping center with plenty of parking (Also a brand new Barnes and noble & Trader Joe's- Big plus!) I loved the music choice they were playing and their food and drinks were a really nice treat! Quick and easy snacks a delicious drinks. Their tiger milk is a must try.
Our friend recommended this place and we enjoyed Tiger tea and pop corn chicken it last time. Tiger tea was good but still a bit sweet even with 25% digest. So we decided to come again and tried online order for Tiger dirty tea and thai chili popcorn chicken. The chili popcorn is great. Tiger dirty tea is perfect with a bit of brown sugar. Suggestion is not to order food online at all because you will still need to get in line to inform staff. Nothing on the order confirmation page says that customers are required to do so. Don't waste your time.
We have been here quite a few times and always charmed by its interior designs, tasty drinks, as well as friendly service staff. My parents wanted to try something new this time, so they went for some more fancy matcha latte and milk tea drinks, and I opted for my usual fav. The lady helping us was super sweet and patient. And we all loved our drinks.
The caramel Milky Way is very sweet! Looks prettier in person than in the picture tho. It's got cream, pudding, boba, and milk--all good things. Service is always good- cashier is usually quite friendly. People working hard to cook the meals are also kind when they bring out the food. The whole vibe of the place has changed over time but it's good.
The milk tea plain, the boba is not fresh even though I purchased the drink around 11 am. The cup looks cheap and the straw is too small that you cant suck up the boba at all. Quite disappointed.
So good! We got the Dirty Tiger and Strawberry Oolong Tea. This place is cute and service was very fast! Reasonable prices as well! It's in a busy strip mall where Trader Joe's is so parking can be a bit busy but worth it!
Another cute tea house (and it has a prime location between two of my favorite places to be - Barnes & Noble and Trader Joe's!!!!). The Spicy Chai (regular milk, regular sweetener) was so delicious! The decor was nice, especially the swing in the back near the pickup area. Quick service too in spite of the place being nearly full. I enjoyed my beverage and will definitely be visiting this location again.
Since rebranding and some store changes in the Triangle, I will admit that Cha House Cary is my favorite location. The workers here tend to be more patient, and there's more inside seating if you're looking to catch up with a friend or get some work done. This time, I ordered my standard black milk tea with less ice and half sugar. I thought it was awesome that they gave me a dome cap because there was leftover liquid in the shaker. My drink was as good as boba can get in the Triangle!
Checked out the Cha House a while ago through a Yelp event and was planning to go back at some point as I really liked it! And I see why I did, Cha House's menu and service are great! I was a little overwhelmed by the number of options but was able to narrow it down to their cold teas. The strawberry sounded lovely, so I went with that! I like that there is an option to select the amount of sugar and ice. I went with 25% sugar and light ice and it was delicious! With less sugar, it still had a ton of flavor. When it was brought out to me, it came with such a sweet smile and greeting from the staff. It really made my day. Add to this the cool music and chill atmosphere. This is a great place to meet up with friends or read a book on your own. I will be back!
Big fan of the iced strawberry matcha and the lychee milk tee is pretty good. Best matcha Ive found so far around Lochmere/Cary. Always has a good amount of cafe diners and the staff is cheerful and friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating. Delivery available via DoorDash and have gotten a few times. read more
First time here. Stopped in to try a tea and got the peach one. Very good! Not too sweet and refreshing. I ordered the bubble waffle as well. It was ok. Nothing I'd probably get for myself again but my grandson would probably love it! Service was good, not busy, fairly quiet. Clean bathrooms. Would go back to try some of the other teas. read more

Love this place! Have you checked their condiment area? They have recycled napkins. I love going to this place. They are consistent and I love their atmosphere. This place brought me nostalgia of my university days back in Montréal. This was the kind of place where I used to study or met up for school projects. We would drink boba, order food and work. I have been to this place numerous times and everything is like the first time meaning their food, service and atmosphere never changed. My kids would beg to go here after a taekwondo tournament. I love how they serve their meal. It's in a carton compostable container so if you cannot finish your meal, you can take it home instead of asking for a container. As for boba, you can customize to your liking. Love this place! It's my go to place in Cary. read more

My son and I are dinner at the hotpot place a couple doors down. They get their tea from here. My son enjoyed his so much that we didn't to find them after dinner. The inside was so cute, clean and bright. It kind of reminds me of the high end places a lot of "influencers" frequent for TikTok or IG content. They young lady working the register was very sweet. I ordered a passion fruit tea with lychee and no boba. It tasted great. Right near the register thy have a flyer of some popular drinks. I really wish I had ordered something different based on the picture. Not that my drink wasn't good but those drinks looked absolutely delicious. They also serve food but we didn't order and since we just ate. I'll be back for sure. Next time we'll order food. read more

Cha House is a cute little spot. We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon after a hike and it was pretty busy. I went with the strawberry matcha and it was delicious. The strawberry portion is sweet so when mixed with the matcha, it creates a perfect balance of sweetness and earthy matcha. My husband enjoyed his lychee green tea, but I thought it needed a little more sweetness. My stepson's lychee green milk tea with lychee jelly was yummy and sweet. We'll have to visit again to try more flavors. read more

This is a gem!! Hidden away in the corner of a nondescript shopping center is the little gem of a tea house. Cha House has some unique Taiwanese eats that Are hard to find in the triangle as well as some excellent teas. I've been here a couple of times before but the teas & bubble egg waffles were so good that I never had a chance to take pics before they were all eaten. I finally managed to catch a poor pathetic pic of it to post. The teas are excellent and freshly made. Not all jasmine teas are the same. My jasmine green cap tea was made with a very fragrant & strong jasmine green tea which was topped with a cheese cap. The cap adds a nice slightly savory and rich component to the lightly sweetened tea. The Fireworks tea is a wonderful passion fruit green tea with both boba & lychee jelly. It was full of flavor. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the boba. It was either sitting too long or overcooked since it was more mushy when it should be bouncy & chewy. We also ordered a pork chop rice plate that has a five spice scented fried pork chop, tea marinated egg & steamed broccoli. It was a pretty generous portion and had excellent flavor. The egg waffle was freshly made and scented with vanilla. It was dusted with powdered sugar and served with a side of syrup. Note to future self, next time, keep the box open to let the steam out so the waffle stays crispy. It was very hot & we left the box shut so got a soggy waffle. It was still delish as you can tell. The space is small but tastefully decorated with pastel colors and flowers. It's a cozy place to hang out with friends or family. Service was very friendly and efficient as well. There are also some outside tables...perfect for people watching. Highly recommend Cha House when you need to take a needed break from shopping at the neighboring stores. read more

Cha house is probably my favorite boba shop in the triangle. I like to stop here when I'm in Cary. Taro is usually my go-to flavor but I switched things up this time and went for the dirty tiger. The dirty tiger is a brown sugar boba so it is probably the sweetest flavor on the menu. I like to order my boba as it comes with regular ice and 100% sugar. If it's too sweet, then I'll know to adjust it next time. The boba pearls are the perfect soft and chewy texture. Cha house is such a great spot to catch up with friends. The pink Christmas tree was so cute! I love that they have outside seating too. It's in a shopping center so there's plenty of parking. read more
The whole family loves coming here. I think they make the best Taro Milk Tea with Boba in town, my husband is obsessed with the Popcorn Chicken, and there are non-caffeinated fruit drinks and cookies that my daughter likes. There is something for everyone here. The store is pretty and has a relaxing atmosphere. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. We crave Cha House and can't help but stop in every time we're in the area. read more
My go to has become a purple taro tea (no boba for me) and this didn't disappoint. The employee at the register was quiet, but helpful and friendly. My order was ready in about two minutes (a Wednesday evening). It wasn't busy or loud inside. There are picnic tables outside, too. My drink was creamy, not too sweet, tasted fresh and was wonderfully cold (I like drinks to be either really hot or really cold.)! I swear they have magic ice because it hadn't melted at all when I got home - at least 45 minutes after I received it. I had a taro tea from a similar place last week and can say this spot was better. I'll visit again to be adventurous and try something new. read more
Perfect location in the same shopping center as Trader Joe's and Aldi. Easy to get to from Raleigh and plenty of parking. (It's to the right of Aldi. Waze GPS marks it in a slightly off location in the shopping center.) Love the flowers outside and decor inside. I used their free wifi to do some work while I enjoyed the ambiance and my taro boba tea! read more
I love this Cha House location, it's so bright and airy! Tucket away towards the end of the plaza, before Aldi it's easy to find and park. The menu is super clearly laid out and they have so many great drinks and snacks to choose from. On this visit I went with a strawberry milk tea with boba and the popcorn chicken. Both were tasty! I highly recommend you check out their popcorn chicken if you are in the mood for a snack. They fry it up fresh and it's the perfect afternoon pick me up. The boba was perfect and the brown sugar flavor definitely comes through in every bite. They have a few tables outside and quite a few inside that are blocked off for now due to COVID. All employees were wearing masks and it felt very safe in there. My only suggestion is to have online ordering available to make the process a bit quicker! read more

Hi Holly, thank you so much for taking the time to write such good…
I love this place! The boba is great and so is the food. My favorite is the green onion pancakes with kimchi. I also got to try the Thai chili chicken and rice plate after winning one of their New Year Instagram giveaways and it is amazing. It comes with rice, broccoli and a tea steeped egg. The staff is friendly and are very quick. I love the inside very nicely decorated. The teas are great I have tried a bunch and love them all. read more
It seems I'm crushing on Taiwanese tea joints lately. This week in the Triangle Park area, I've been to Boba Baba, Brecotea and now this Cha House...all Taiwanese, I think? Again, think it has to do with its subtley sweet, distinctive flavor. Also, love the cool, sleek ambiance of these tea cafes. Cha House reigns supreme in terms of prettiness. The place is so flowery!! Granted, it's not as big and spacious as the other Taiwanese tea joints I've been to lately, but prettiest. Here, I decided to try their Taro-Matcha Green Milk Tea with Bubbles...and again, I stand amazed! OMG...can Bubble Teas get any better?!? I also tried their Egg Waffles...and again, OMG!! (I was disappointed that it wasn't in a cone...but I can only guess that it was one of their Covid-safety measures??) Charlotte needs to up their game in Bubble Teas. I love Kung Fu and Share Tea in the Queen City, but they need to add on some Taiwanese chains ASAP!!! read more
Since moving here, we've been trying all the different boba places in the area, and this is definitely a good place to go to. We ordered the kimchi pancakes which were delicious, the sauce that it came with was a little too salty though. We were pleasantly surprised that there was egg and cheese in the pancake too which was so satisfying. We also split the egg waffle, which was soft and just the right amount of sweet. To drink, I had the strawberry matcha milk tea with pudding and boba which was the perfect combination. My wife had the taro milk tea with a cheese cap. She really liked the subtle sweetness of the tarp and the creaminess of the cheese cap. The cheese cap here isn't as thick or sweet as some others and it was the perfect complement to the taro. The atmosphere is super cute and the restaurant is making an effort to be more sustainable with their straws and boxes. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Got boba for the first time here. They have a wide variety of teas and snacks. Service was fast. The employees are very respectful and informative. It was my first time, but they explained it to me in a way that made my first drink the one. It's a chill place but very popular, so it can get crowded at times. Decorations are cute and the swinging chair is good to get pictures for all you insta fanatics. read more

This place is one of my top spots for boba in this area. They have a great menu that consists of milk teas, desserts, and food and snacks! I've gone a couple times trying something different each time, but I have to say that the Thai Tea Float has really been the best!!! The tea flavor is so fresh and strong and then Thai tea ice cream is just so different and yummy. Other items that I have bought were the bubble waffles and a classic milk tea. The bubble waffle was delicious, and I would even eat it on its own without the toppings. It is definitely a treat after a long day! Inside is especially cute for photos, studying, or hanging out with friends. I hope to try their snacks/food the next time I visit. I've also recommended this to friends when they visit Cary, and they ended up loving it! read more

This is one of my favorite boba places in Triangle. During my first visit, I had a trouble finding Cha House. It's tucked right next to Aldi in the middle of the shopping center, and if you are driving around to find it, you may miss it like I did. Their bubble tea is on point. No need to mention that part ;) I seriously love their seasonal drinks. Last couple times I visited, I got Matchajito and OH MAN, it hits the spot! I'm a sucker for matcha, and I'm OK with mojito. But combining them two and making a drink? That's one genius move. I need to try the rest of the boba on the menu, but I keep going back to Matchajito. I'm also excited to try other seasonal drinks as the weather changes over time. Also Cha House here sells small bites/food food. I love the various options they give on type of food (+ size options: meal vs. snack). I've tried Chili Thai Chicken, Green Onion Pancakes, and Fried Tofu. Yum, they are were all good, but Green Onion Pancakes stole my heart. They have pretty outdoor/indoor seating areas for you to hang around after getting food. Also, they have the cutest reusable boba cup that you can use to get 10% off. I stocked up on one (smaller size) and planned to get the larger one in the future! read more

The location offers ample seatings with cute decor just like what you would expect from any boba store. The milk tea here is a hit or miss. I usually order the classic milk tea or the jasmine milk tea. The tea flavor is weak overall. Sometimes you can taste the milk and sometimes you can't. The last time I ordered a jasmine milk tea, it tasted like water. The drink consistency can definitely be improved. read more
