    Black sesame Thai Tea with boba and 25% sweetness.
    Linda D.

    Great place for all your Thai Tea needs. Came in after lunch and stayed a bit with some friends. My order was the black sesame thai tea with 25% sweetness and added boba. The lowest level for sweetness on the black sesame was 25%. The low sweetness was perfect and it didn't make the drink bland. Appreciate the chewiness of the boba. The person taking our group order and making our drinks was so kind. When I'm in the area again, I'd stop by. There are also plenty of seats and outdoor seating for anyone looking to stay awhile.

    Cha Thai Tea is a little gem in Berkeley that specializes in (as the name suggests) thai tea! They mix thai tea with very likely flavors like coconut, s'mores, and other flavors! It's located nearby UC Berkeley campus so it's a cute little study spot or place to hangout with friends, but their tables and indoor space is a little small. Since it's also downtown, street parking can be a little difficult, especially during busy times of the day. Besides drinks, they also offer small eats like savory or sweet toast. As for service, the workers are always really sweet and helpful when taking your order! Drinks that I've tried: - Up All Night (4/5) ($7.50): A mixture of Thai Tea and Vietnamese Coffee so it's a great drink for someone that needs to stay awake and be productive! It's definitely on the sweeter side but still has strong notes of the coffee. - Black Sesame Thai Milk Tea (4.5/5) ($7.50): Has the delicious Thai Milk Tea as a base and an equally delicious black sesame foam on top. I love that they don't skimp on the top and that both layers mix equally well with each other! The black sesame also tastes strongly nutty and roasted! - Double Float (4.2/5) ($9.50): I believe this is one of their newer drinks, which is a thai tea topped with thai tea ice cream! Honestly, their ice cream tastes very strong of thai tea, unlike the store bought ones that taste like straight cream and sugar! Not sure if they make the ice cream themselves, but I would definitely order this just for the ice cream again! - Coco Cha Cha (5/5) ($7.50): This drink is my absolute favorite and the reason I keep coming back! As much as I want to try new drinks, I can't help but order this one! It sounds like an odd combination at first, coconut water and thai tea cold foam, but they make a magical, refreshing combination! All in all, Cha Thai Tea is the best place to get any thai tea cravings fulfilled, especially with their unique drink combinations! Another plus is that they use delicious, crunchy ice! Definitely come by and check them out!

    Came here today and ordered the black sesame Thai tea with boba. It was really good, the Thai tea is good quality and the sesame was a really nice added flavor.

    thai tea flavor was strong and authentic! it was also pretty sweet so i would lower the sweetness level if you prefer to taste more tea. good place to stop by for a drink and it's walking distance from other restaurants and little shops too

    The decor is very simple and modern, very clean. The menu is very creative, with flavors and such. The service was very fast and the drinks too came out pretty fast. My order was good but its something i wouldnt order again for the reason that the more i drank, the more it became bitter. Idk what exactly in the drink that gave it that bitterness but it was 4/5. The Thai tea float was phenomenal. It was delicious! I wish that was my drink. Definitely something you should order. Next time im back ill try something with coffee because that was my second choice.

    Pang Cha, Mango Coco
    Ashley S.

    I wasn't sure what to expect when I got the Pang Cha, but it literally is a blended Thai tea with some pieces of bread on top. The bread was perfectly sweet and savory, and the Thai tea is not overly sweet. I would suggest getting boba with it. My friend got the Mango Coco and she didn't like the little threads of mango towards the bottom, but the drink was very refreshing. There is some seating inside the cafe, and they prepare the drinks relatively fast. However, it is very hot inside due to the lack of air conditioning, and we heard many people comment on how it was literally cooler outside than indoors.

    Came for a second time, service is so quick and the drinks were so good! The Thai tea was very creamy and sweet. Their boba is very bouncy and has a good texture. It wasn't crowded when I went and I got to enjoy the relaxing shop while I was working.

    So happy to see a spot that's literally dedicated to Thai tea! I've been obsessed with Cha Tra Mue in SoCal so when I saw Cha's menu, I knew I had to make the trek across the bridge to try them out! I love the interior of the restaurant, it's bright, airy, and super aesthetic! They had a lot of really creative drinks. We ordered a classic Thai tea and a black sesame thai tea. It tasted like the tea was somewhat oversteeped in both, they were definitely strong but they had a lingering burnt taste. I love their inventive menu but I've definitely had better Thai tea elsewhere. I'd come back though for the vibes & creative drinks though!

    Such a cute and cozy spot off Shattuck in Berkeley. After driving by Cha Thai Tea quite often, I finally pulled over while in the area to grab a drink and check it out. The menu is fun and full of unique sips and bites. While I went with the Cha Thai Milk Tea, the staff mentioned the most popular current items for summer are the Pang Cha (Thai tea frappe topped with actual pieces of butter milk toast), Coco Breeze (looks so beautiful, essentially coconut water, coconut milk, avo, and other ingredients), and the variety of Slushy options (there's an Avocado Smash one, Mango, Strawberry, and more). I noticed a S'more drink, toasts, and classic Thai desserts. A spot to tuck into with your laptop, a fun date, or just a grab and walk down Shattuck, I would definitely come back to try more from their menu. My next morning iced inspiration is the Black Sesame Thai Milk Tea...coming back for ya soon! Metered parking available but in a hoppin' area so leave time to find. Pricing around $7/8 a pop, although felt like a nice escape. Let me know if you've been and what you've tried!

    This place is amazing! Pang cha is super refreshing and you can add toppings like boba, crystal boba, grass jelly. The Thai tea slushy is not too sweet and has great Thai tea flavor, the toast on top is so good, crispy, buttery. I thought the coconut ice cream that came with coconut pandan toast was too sweet and overpowerred the pandan. I recommend getting the pandan toast or butter toast.

    This was our first visit to an exclusively Thai tea joint, and I thoroughly recommend this spot for a try! The cups, straws, and drink materials are entirely compostable which adds a lovely sustainable touch. I chose the black sesame Thai milk tea with boba, served warm, at 25% sweet perfect for a rainy day. We also tried the classic Thai tea and the Up All Night, a mix of Thai tea of coffee, which was described as "impressive" where the subtle essence of the Thai tea was contrasted to the coffee. Service was quick and very personal!

    Such a cute spot! Came here with a friend on a weekday evening and I was so surprised by how good their Thai tea was. It's a strong tea, which I like, and their boba is a good amount of QQ, with just the right amount of chewiness. They have limited seating inside, but definitely a good place to grab and go, as the service is pretty quick.

    Chai Thai Tea opened where Boba Panda was. Infrastructure same. Less seating. Austere creamy vanilla walls with a few boba pics on same. Offerings (Thai-ish): Thai tea, fresh fruit tea, fresh fruit slushy, chai signature, toast, classic dessert, toppings... Single barrista on duty. Confirm with him Thai tea frappe had much sugar so passed. Ordered mango coco slushy. Pd. Ready in 5 minutes. Sips: mango coco slushy (8)less sugar. -barrista inform me drink would be slightly sour/tart. Was that ok? Yes said I as long as it wasn't too sweet. -an whole mango utilized mixed with house made coconut milk. Nicely blended. Nuanced sips. -drink stay consistent until literally the last drop. 4.5 stars: quantity/qualify very good. Worthy! May is Asian American Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

The decor is clean, modern, and warm, making it a great place to study or just hang out with friends. I especially liked the kiosk ordering system--quick, efficient, and no pressure while deciding. The drink packaging is honestly next level. It feels premium and thoughtful, not just another basic cup. You can tell they care about presentation just as much as taste. And the drinks themselves? Smooth, refreshing, and high quality. Service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and fast without feeling rushed. The space was spotless, including the bathroom, which is always a big plus for me. Overall, this place nails atmosphere, quality, and convenience. I'll definitely be coming back regularly. Highly recommend if you want a chill, aesthetic tea spot.

The seasonal taco mochi milk tea I got was fulfilling and yummy. The price was little high compared the size with other competitors. Good thing is I could opt out ice or go for hot option. Everyone was happy with their drink. Mango osmanthus oolong and bubble milk tea looked legit to me. The wait time estimate was accurate. We got in and out pretty quickly.

    Tried a few more drinks at Yi Fang:…read more Multi-floral honey mountain tea, 50 sweet no ice, large: The drink was done in about half the time that was estimated (Snackpass estimated 15 minutes, but it was done in 7). It was barely sweet, 50% is the lowest sweetness you can set for this drink. I was disappointed by this one as I felt the tea and floral flavors could've been stronger, it really just tasted of honey. Large chocoberry bliss, warm, 50 sweet (which was the recommended sweetness): It's a non caffeinated drink and can only be hot or warm. It tastes of dark chocolate with strawberry. It reminded me of hot chocolate but with a strawberry milk flavor, I liked it and would recommend trying it when it's in season if you enjoy sweets and chocolate in particular. Cheese creamer black tea, no ice, 0% sweetness, large cold: The tea is truly bitter when at 0% sweetness, which is what I intended. A generous thick amount of creamer on top. It doesn't mix easily with the tea. Note that on Snackpass, they add another $0.25 onto the price of your drink for "city cup fee" - referring to City of Berkeley's fee charged for plastic drink cups. I have found they're usually pretty fast at making the drinks and they may be done earlier than what Snackpass estimates. Sometimes you may need to get the attention of one of the workers as they can be occupied working and aren't always at the counter looking at you.

    We found this spot by accident because we were looking for a store nearby. I LOVED IT! Cutest place…read morewith the nicest employees. I had a lot of questions and they sweetly answered them before I did my order. You order online or on the screens in the store. Pretty self explanatory and easy. There are just a few places to sit inside, so probably want to get it to go. I ordered this heavenly mango/grapefruit concoction with pearls. 15/10. It was so hard to choose what to order because everything looked so delicious and refreshing. My drink was ready in less than 10 minutes. I definitely want to come back and try some different drinks!
