    Espresso royale
    Karen L.

    It's a fine pit stop for boba especially in this mall. There isn't a ton of seating though. Note they have an espresso royale special right now with the mangosteen juice. Even though I got it unsweetened without any added sugar, the staff was right to call out it is sweet on its own with the juice, as it was too sweet for my liking. Typically I do like their drinks though, just this new special is a pass for me given I don't have a sweet tooth and don't like overly sweet drinks.

    Though this is a boba shop, they make decent matcha lattes. Each drink was about $9 which is steep given how small it was. Ordered 2 double matchas and 1 matcha einspanner; can't go wrong with either of your choosing. Located outside of the mall in its promenade and the store stays quite busy.

    I came to this location because I thought they had soft serve matcha, but I was told they took it off the menu. I was bummed, the staff was friendly, and I ordered a drink. One of the staff members even remade a drink for me because I forgot to adjust the sweetness level, so that made the experience much better.

    Matcha coconut chill mixed together
    Belinda T.

    I'm pretty bummed the Cha Redefine in Pasadena closed, but luckily this one is still here! I usually grab a drink when I'm at the mall and think this is way better than 3CAT. The matcha, regular teas, and hojicha are all great quality and fragrant which I love. The boba is usually fresh and chewy also. They usually have a seasonal menu that changes quite frequently and it's been fun trying new drinks. The matcha coconut chill (just coconut water and a matcha cream top) was something I've seen elsewhere and been wanting to try. Once mixed together, it was creamy but also incredibly refreshing, quite delicious. There's a little free photo machine by the door you can grab a quick group photo with! Scan the QR code to retrieve. Sometimes it's outta paper but it prints on receipt paper anyway.

    I have seen Cha Redefine pop up on SGV, so I finally decided to try on very hot day. This location is part of the Santa Anita mall in the outdoor area where there a few other boba locations. There was no line when I went so I ordered with the employee. There is also a kiosk. I really like the ambiance of the store. It was cool items to look at and tons of seating (including tables and a bar). Just overall super cute inside. I did wait a long time for my drink. I thought it would come out pretty quickly because there were no other orders and several staff members. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up if you're in a rush to grab a drink. I ordered a matcha latte, which seemed to one of their more popular items. Once my drink came out, I was a little surprised by how small it was (considering the price). I have been on a matcha and boba kick lately and this was one was one of the smallest one that I have gotten. The other thing is that the drink itself was pretty average. It had a slightly bland taste, which was disappointing. Not sure I will be back here since there are tons of matcha places to try in the mall.

    Love the non caffeine options so I can share with my son. It's made to order and lots of staff are prepping. Love the cleanliness and environment- great music and the aroma of the variety of drinks. Grateful for a quality tea shop at the mall!

    Good environment! Love the drink here! They occasionally have promotions! Worthy to try!

    Lychee rice slush
    Amy L.

    I liked their popcorn latte. They had little crispy stuff on top that added extra flavor to the drink. Mix well. The coffee taste isnt that strong so if youre expecting alot of coffee this is not the one for you. Lychee rice didnt have any lychee taste at all. It tasted like cheesy milk only. Maybe the cheese overpowered it? They have a photo machine that used to print pit the pictures but i guess it ran out but you can download the picture from the qr code at the end.

    Mochi Mango
    Megan D.

    Cha redefine will always be a go-to. My favorite drink is the Mochi Mango, and would def reccomend to anyone. This location specifically tends to get crowded often, hence it is in mall. However, even during rushes, the staff is fast and efficient. It sometimes gets tight, especially when the line goes out the door, but this spot is nice to sit in and chill when there are less people. Bonus: They have a free photobooth, but it was out of paper when I went. I was still able to download a digital version.

    Popping Milk Tea (only 1 size).  Have you pop yours?
    Jenny C.

    I stop by to just get my favorite Popping Milk Tea . I wish the size would be bigger for the coco one they were featured on their sign , but all I got was just a reg size drink for $7.50 it tasted so good that I was willing to pay for it (just once in a while ). There's always a line, luckily there were chair for me to sit and take pic while waiting for my drink. Surprisingly was pretty quick. Believe is barley and rice crispy popping in my mouth Ambience: the insIde was pretty squishy, better Togo it or carry it outside , since it was outside the Mall, can still window shop while popping my favorite Did you try it yet?

    Blueberry oat milk matcha latte
    Katharine L.

    I come here all the time for the blueberry oat milk matcha latte its the best!!! I've influenced others to try it and they love it too! Perfect for my lactose intolerance buddies. Service is great too. I love all the locations!! Yes I travel to the other locations too to get the same item

    I had tried Cha Redefine over in Rowland, so I was very interested in trying this one in Arcadia. Luckily, my wife and I visited while shopping at Santa Anita Mall so this was the perfect spot to visit. Interior is quite glamorous, it has that cozy vibe but also a nice modern spectacle to it. There's a limited amount of tables but there's a sizeable crescent counter to place your drinks. Drinks here are good quality, if not, even high quality. They're known for their fresh ingredients and high quality teas and our drinks reflected that. They have a top 10 most popular drinks which is helpful for first time visitors. The matcha tornado was the star of the show for me. It was very delicious and easy to sip. I can see why it's one of the most popular drinks. Although it's more of a smoothie type drink, it still have that milk tea type feel which is a perfect combo. Super delicious and definitely a high value drink. Overall, very happy about this location, probably my top choice whenever my wife and I are shopping around the area.

The shop feels very nice and clean with a simple interior design. My top drink is probably the White Peach Oolong Milk Tea, which has an oolong tea base with floral notes and a kick of sweet white peach. I like how creamy and fragrant it is. At 50% sweetness, I feel like there is the perfect balance of sugar, tea, and milk. Another solid drink is the Oops Cheese Matcha Smash, which is easily one of their best sellers. This drink is creamy, rich, and indulgent. The layer of cheese foam deepens the flavor of the matcha, making it extra creamy with an enjoyable contrast. Aside from drinks, there are also some snack food options like popcorn chicken and fries. The savory snacks would pair perfectly alongside the sweet drinks. This is for sure a boba spot I would recommend.

You definitely can taste the rich tea fragrance notes in each of their drinks. So far, I've tried their One Tea Signature blend milk tea and their Orchis oolong tea with coconut cloud. I also especially love their popping barley topping. It's a unique spin to the traditional boba. It's refreshing a fun to eat. We also got their walnut custard cake, which was a nice treat. They are slightly crispy on the outside, yet pleasantly moist on the inside. The custard inside added just the right about of sweetness. To finish each mini cake off, each contain bits of actual walnuts on the inside, which really made this dessert well worth it. The only reason I am knocking off a star is because of their staff. They were not very friendly or communicative. The majority of the time, they really tried to avoid making eye contact with the customers. This makes the experience feel awkward and unwelcoming.

Unfortunate to say, that one of the baristas isn't. She has short hair, glasses, and tattoos. There are 3 instances with her specifically. Not that I want hate on anyone. Maybe they had a bad day, I get it., But her actions otherwise... First instance. Ordered strawberry latte with mochi. We asked to remove the topping. They did, but it messed up the drink itself. Asked to reblend it. I don't think she liked that. If the drink had mochi and there is a specific way to make the drink, she could've said it would just be less of the drink because there isn't mochi. Wouldn't been fine. Different day, ordered the same thing. She refused to not allow removal of the topping. I guess from what happened last time. She wouldn't budge on it. A different day. Ordered 4 of the bogo. Only 1 party in front of me that ordered. After I ordered, another party ordered after. The location isn't busy. Both got it before I did. The cashier asked if I was still waiting. I said yes and showered my receipt. The barista came out. Looked at the kiosk and did some tattoos and went to the back. Mentioned they are going to check and working on it. After giving my drinks, she said it was because they were brewing the tea. If it's a bogo, normally that tea should be ready since it was offered the whole week. I don't know. It seems a bit deliberate for those who ordered with adjustments. Considering they didn't even bother to mention they were brewing more tea knowing I was waiting. Technically the store would be saving money if we don't order with toppings so I'm not sure what the issue is with this person and tonight considering another review also mentioned a barista who laughed at them for ordering more in front of them. I come to a conclusion there may be something with this person. I understand bad days and hate to think otherwise.
