Brown Sugar and Creme Brulee Milk Tea
Dane B.

"Another Day, Another Cha Tea" I've been to Cha Tea many times now, and I still pass by and think about stopping in for another round. This place has become one of my go-to spots, and honestly, it never disappoints. The vibe in here is really sweet and welcoming, one of those boba shops that just feels good to hang out in. Not trying too hard, but definitely put together in a way that makes you want to stay a bit longer than just grabbing your drink and leaving. I went with the brown sugar creme brulee milk tea with double boba and wow--this drink was actually delicious. The brown sugar flavor came through without being overwhelming, and that creme brulee twist gave it this almost caramelized richness that made the whole thing feel a little fancy. The boba was perfectly chewy, and getting double was absolutely the right call. My hubby got the Oreo creme brulee with boba which was also really good, leaning into that cookies and cream situation with the same smooth, decadent quality. Service was super quick and the staff seemed genuinely friendly. This spot has totally earned its place in my regular rotation--I keep coming back for good reason.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Coin Cake - Mozzarella $5.50 It was okay. Not bad, not memorable...just somewhere in the middle. Strawberry Matcha Latte $7.50 with strawberry popping pearls $0.75, oat milk $0.50 This was a solid drink. The strawberry added a nice touch and the popping pearls gave it a little fun texture. With so many spots offering matcha these days, I'm not sure how soon l'd come back...but it wasn't a bad stop.

Plain sugarcane (left) for $9 and Hokkaido milk tea with boba (right) and completely watered down
Vivian H.

I know my boba teas well and this place just didn't do it for me. I ordered a Hokkaido milk tea with boba and it essentially was watered down and boba was so-so and my drink was about $7. My mom tried it too and agreed. She kept trying to get me to go inside to return it but I just didn't want to bother. My mom got the plain fresh sugarcane drink and that was close to $9! She said it was good but not worth that much. I had a try also, it was tasty but I can't justify paying close to $9 for it. I think for the price point and what you get, not that great value or taste wise. Also, the outdoor tables were in bad shape and super wobbly and could not place anything on them and they were filthy. Doubt I'll come back here again, unless something changes.

Sugarcane coco, iced coffee with taro, Oreo smoothie
Colette C.

I'm always craving a sugarcane drink for some reason and this spot is as good as it can get for me. Tons of different kinds of drinks to choose from. Service is always on point. Cute little tea shop. They also have macaroons/cookies for sale. Sugarcane coco 4/5 Iced coffee with taro 5/5 Oreo smoothie looks good but I didn't get to try it.

Matcha milk tea
Emma N.

This place was good! After getting a foot massage in the plaza, I HAD to check out the boba place conveniently located next door!!! Cha Tea has a large menu, lots of drink choices including teas, smoothies, coffees, ice cream and food choices too. When I arrived around 545pm on a weekday, it was pretty slow. There are lots of seating options here and fun claw machine. I'd been craving matcha and decided to try the Matcha Milk Tea with boba. It was pretty good! I sat inside for a while and enjoyed my drink. It got pretty busy after that and it seemed like the two people working were getting behind. I might come back if I was in the area again.

All I can say is PANDAN BUBBLE WAFFLE WITH ICE CREAM is chefs kiss! My go to dessert place after having a meal right next door at HMart. Not only do they have a bunch of options of sweets but drink options too with different toppings choices. Service is great and they're so sweet :) Great hang out spot! All pictures are from different days, that's how much I looooove me some bubble waffles!

Sea salt Viet coffee
Emily L.

I've been going to Cha Tea for years, but finally getting around to reviewing it since it still seems to be so underrated! Conveniently located in the H-Mart lot, this shop offers perfectly chewy boba every time. It's nothing fancy, but the drinks are so reliable -- never too milky or too sweet. And the menu is pretty huge. I've even been able to order a coffee milk tea (not on their current menu) since they have the ingredients for it. My latest obsession has been the sea salt Vietnamese coffee. Nice and strong, with a very light saltiness balance the sweetness. The snacks menu is ever-evolving, so there are often nice surprises when returning. They've recently updated the space with comfy chairs and new tables, too. WiFi is also available, so all in all would recommend!

Sugar cane menu
Tonisha C.

Wednesday evening visit. They were out of sugarcane so one person in my party had to change their order. We had the lemongrass orange peach tea and coconut smoothie. There was no wait to order. It was on the warmer side inside. The service was fine.

What an incredible experience I had on a whim. This Boba-Tea, Waffle Ice Cream shop is a must try. I created an ice cream version of my favorite boba tea. Homemade Waffle Cone. Taro ice cream. Boba pearls and Mango popping Boba with whipped cream. The portion was large. 2 can share Can't wait to go back!

"Red sauce"

Health hazard. Raw pate. I've made pate before, im vietnamese. Pate is blended pork/chicken liver. Post processing it will always be some shade of brown. This is red. Clearly raw. This is a repeat review. They got mine removed and tried to cover this up as a "red sauce". I came to the store and asked them about the red sauce but the person in the front didn't know anything about it. I'm from Vietnam and this was definitely raw.

Strawberry Sugarcane & Durian Sugarcane
Lien S.

After having lunch in the HMart food court, I came here to grab drinks. It was busy but I had no idea it would take as long as it did for 2 drinks! The cashier didn't seem very friendly. I ordered a Strawberry Sugarcane and a Durian Sugarcane. Unsure if you can adjust sugar level for these since the cashier didn't ask about sweetness preference but I would recommend asking for it to be a little less sweet. Mine was the strawberry and I got the durian for my mom. We both said it was a lil too sweet. It took wayyy too long to receive the drinks. I heard them calling numbers all out of order too. It should not take 30-40 mins. Had I known that, I wouldn't have ordered

Angel A.

We bought 4 drinks and I have never had a boba drink that they put coffee filter on as a cover then a lid but didn't seal it with no sealing machine. Not coming back. There is plenty of boba places to go elsewhere. His attitude at the cash register was rude. Not a friendly place.

Pennyworth Sugar Cane
Kimberly P.

This place is a hidden gem. It's in the same plaza as Daiso and Hmart. So after some grocery shopping, you can stop by this place for some refreshing drinks and or desserts. Coming from the Bay Area, I have yet to find a place that sells fresh sugar cane juice until I discovered Cha Tea. Their sugar cane drinks are worth checking out. I love their penny wort and sugar cane option. It is a little pricey at $7.50 but it's well worth it to me. On top of their drinks, they sell shave ice, cake cups, and french macarons. The service is great! The ladies are very friendly and quick to fulfill your order. It's a clean and nice family owned place. They play music videos which might not be as kid friendly, but overall, the ambiance is a nice cafe style. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

Delicious drinks, strong tea. The only thing is the green boba color kind of puts me off, but the boba does taste very good.

With so many choices, how do you decide on which boba place to go to? Well, this one in particular…read moreis a great choice if you like your drinks more milky than tea in taste. They are reasonably priced although I felt like the price difference for the matcha Thai vs Thai milk tea wasn't worth it. The matcha itself did taste good though and I'd love to come back and try their Pandan Matcha. Their boba is consistently chewy and yummy. Drinks are consistent in quality with variety. We showed up late and the person who served us was very kind, patient, and welcoming despite it being close to closing. We were apologetic and grateful. (Thank you to her!). Otherwise, beware of limited parking like everywhere else in Mesa. This location also has an added bonus in that it's open later than a lot of other boba places so you can still fit in that boba run after dinner! We were also impressed that they have options for a 32 ounce so you can REALLY get your cravings satisfied! Overall, a really solid option.

I remember Tastea from their California location years ago when boba was starting to become a thing…read morethere and was excited to see them come to the East Valley after seeing them at food festivals. I was in the mood for snacking and therefore, looking for a boba spot with more than popcorn chicken. Their seasonal hot honey fries caught my eye as I was scrolling through recent menu photos and in we went. They were out of the calamari, and the staff was friendly in cautioning us that the snacks may take a while since there's one fryer and luckily, we weren't in a hurry. We ending up ordering the following: - Jasmine Milk Tea with aloe vera - was quite disappointed to have the aloe vera super mushy. I would have switched it out if I had tried it in stores before leaving. - Fried Shrimp - this was pretty salty to the point I could barely finish these - Hot Honey Fries - seasoning was superb and would come back alone for this! - Popcorn chicken - okay, not much breading to it and therefore, not too crispy, but the sauces helped There is a smile/satisfaction guarantee, and perhaps we should've tried everything before leaving, but that's moreso on us wanting to go home. Unfortunately, phone did not eat first so not much photos taken.

Pretty solid tea shop with a clean interior, good seating, and convenient location. I decided to…read moretry the coffee brown sugar milk this time and was so happy with the default sweetness levels (lower than average) and the coffee strength. My only gripe is that the boba consistently gets stuck in my straw here. Previously thought I ran into an old, sticky batch, but it's been the same way all three times now. However, given that all the drinks I've tried tasted solid -- especially the white peach refresher with oolong tea (SO GOOD) -- I'll still be back. Perhaps with jellies or no inclusions next time :) Xing Fu Tang is still a great place to hang out with friends after a dinner in the area, especially if you're getting the Mensho customer discount! Staff is always nice and parking is easy in the lot.

Xing Fu Tang stands out for their homemade boba pearls. Because they're homemade however, they can…read moreoften be stuck together or even cut too big to fit through a straw, which can make the drinking experience a battle. The pearls themselves are very tasty with a good texture though. It's worth trying! The drinks here are not overly sweet even at 100% sugar level. I prefer less sugar generally (25% at most other places), but you can safely get 100% sugar level here without feeling like your drink is overly sweet. If you opt for less sugar, staff may warn you that it won't be sweet at all unless you get the pearls, which are sweetened by default. If you dined at Mensho Ramen next door, you can get a discount on your drink order at Xing Fu Tang if you show them your receipt. The shaved ice is delicious with the ice being made from frozen sweetened milk rather than only water. An order is huge and you can easily share with 4 people for dessert. The largest tables inside can comfortably accommodate a group of 4. You can easily pull extra chairs over if your group is bit larger. Service is curt, but they're not intentionally mean. There was a mistake one time with my order, so they made my correct drink asap and free of charge.

I'm surprised that I have not written a review for Crafti yet because my boyfriend and I are here…read more(what feels like) every week. The fact that we go so much is an obvious 5/5 stars!! I understand that the 10 photos I've attached are essentially the same drinks, but that is because they're consistent here and it just proves how loyal we are. Our go to order: Apple Jade Tea (add crystal boba) -- my boyfriends gets 25% sweet and I get 50% sweet. It may not be on the menu, but it is available to order! If I don't get the tea, my other option is the matcha latte (sometimes with cold foam). Lychee is/was on their seasonal menu, so I would take advantage of that and order a Lychee Oolong Milk Tea (add lychee jelly). This place is so cute because there are capybaras everywhere. My boyfriend even bought me a flower pillow with a capybara face on it and it is the cutest addition to my WFH space. They sell cute little accessories, stickers and plushies that match the theme of the shop. I wish they sold little appetizers (like popcorn chicken) so I can eat a little snack with my drink! The workers here are always so sweet! And make sure to check-in with your phone number because you can accumulate points and get rewards like $5 off your order.

My boba sistah and I wanted some boba after lunch, and I suggested this place since it was nearby…read more I checked Yelp and wondered why I hadn't reviewed it, since it looked familiar and I thought I had been here before. Turns out I had, but it was for a Yelp perk so I reviewed that particular listing. There are a few parking spots in front and a solid amount of seats inside. A few people were inside ordering, and most of them left after receiving their drinks. I like the capybara theme and the plushies - they were cute. I decided to get their seasonal milk tea, which happened to be the ya shi dancong oolong (translates to duck droppings, lol). It's a lighter oolong and fun fact: comes from the Phoenix Mountain in Chaozhou, China. Definitely appropriate for Arizona. I chose 50% sweeteness, light ice, and added their signature boba. The bobaista was super friendly and welcoming. Once I got my drink, I could taste the faint floral and toasted flavor, which was pleasant. The boba was nicely cooked as well. Although there didn't appear to be much ice in my drink as expected, it did make my drink cold more quickly and watered down the flavor, unfortunately. I'd probably order no ice next time. Their matcha drinks looked pretty and were popular, as many customers purchased them while we were there. I'd probably visit again!

This is a great little coffee house/cafe. There is a rather extensive menu with lots of coffee,…read moreread, and smoothies. They also have a menu of breakfast and lunch items. You can buy bags of coffee to take home, too. There is a case with donuts and pastries. I love that they have some colorful earrings and tumblers for sale. The person at the register was so nice and helpful, making sure to go over all our options with us. This place was a burger king in it's forever life, but all of the old signs of plastic booths are gone, and that have been replaced with wooden tables, industrial metal chairs, a bar height communal table, and a leather sofa/chair conversation area. I love the beamed ceiling and the mountain scene made in wood on the wall. We ordered an iced turtle mocha and a cold brew. Both were delish. I never drink black coffee, but the cold brew was so good I would drink it black. We also ordered roast beef melt, panini style, and the ham and Swiss melt, also panini style. Both were yummy. They were each served with a pickle and a bag of chips. There were several people working on laptops when we were here. They even have a printer available which is a huge plus for people here working. There were several rainbow flags and even a rainbow themed drink of the month, so this place is definitely lbgtq+ friendly. This is a great little spot, and I certainly see my self returning.

When Mayo Becomes the Main Ingredient:…read more My wife and I stopped by Renegade Coffee in Mesa for a quick lunch. We've enjoyed their breakfast offerings in the past, so we figured we'd give their sandwiches a try. Unfortunately, lunch was a completely different experience. My wife ordered the Spicy Chicken Melt, and I went with the Turkey and Provolone. Let's just say I wasn't prepared for what came next. My sandwich arrived on bread that wasn't even toasted, with a mountain of mayo and what seemed like just enough turkey to legally call it a turkey sandwich. You know there's too much mayo when you take one bite and the entire sandwich explodes, sending the fixings straight to the floor. At that point, I wasn't sure if I ordered a turkey sandwich or a mayo sandwich with a turkey garnish. My wife said her Spicy Chicken Melt was okay, but nothing special. Certainly not something she'd go out of her way to order again. The real kicker? $34 for two sandwiches and one Diet Coke. For that price, I expect a decent sandwich, not a mayonnaise disaster held together by a few slices of turkey. My $9 sandwich ended up exactly where it belonged--in the garbage. We've enjoyed Renegade's breakfast before, but after this lunch experience, I think we'll stick to the memories of better meals. Final verdict: Disappointing food, poor value, and a lunch we won't be repeating.
