    Various Thai teas
    Rita W.

    We love Thai Tea, and it's great to see there are varieties of that here. They can do different type of milk which is really great to those that are lactose intolerant and to those that prefer nondairy as well. I've tried their original types of Thai tea as well as their sesame Thai tea. There was one with Thai tea ice cream on top of Thai tea that was really tempting, so I'll probably get that next time. There are also fruit ones too, so maybe I'll try that next next time. The space here is pretty nice. Several tables so people can sit and chat or study. Those I spoke with here were friendly. I asked how sweet the drinks are, and was told there wasn't much of a difference between half sweet and default sweetness, but they can do adjustments such as 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% or something, but there really wasn't much of a difference. It was still just a tad too sweet for me, but others said it was really great for them.

    Thai tea and Lychee Snow
    Maggie W.

    I came here with two people and we ordered two Thai teas and a lychee snow. The inside has ample seating and a modern interior with lots of students working. The lychee snow was delicious! I liked the sweetness level and the tartness the real lychee had in the slushie. Perfect for a hot day in East Bay. Their signature Thai tea is rich and milky with a delicious spiced black tea aroma. You can tell that this place is authentic! The neighboring location is safe and within walking distance of plenty of residential parking and restaurants. I would definitely come back and recommend this to anyone looking for a sweet treat with their friends.

    Thai tea with Boba Thai tea with Thai ice cream and mango drink

    Had to try my favorite place again it's been a few months. The service is good and friendly. The drinks are on point. I did try the new mango drink. They use fresh mangoes and my sister had to try the Thai tea with the Thai ice cream both delicious. This is always my go to place.

    The $5.50 Hot Cha Thai Black Tea doesn't need sweetener if you ask me (Photo 9), and it comes across as mellow as the sparsely furnished space itself. That's not a bad thing to convey such a mellow vibe, though I forget that they offer more than tea. The menu lists out a series of specialty toasts, mostly sweet but an avocado one as well, and even a mango & sticky rice. I never retain any of that information in what's left of my brain waves, but I did come back and tried the $6.50 Iced Cha Thai Milk Tea and was pleased that it was such a satisfying thirst quencher on a warm day (Photo 2). One day, when I have the calories to spare and the brain cells to register, I'll try that Pandan Custard Toast. I'm doubtful I would be disappointed. TEA - 4 stars...nice variety of flavors at reasonable prices AMBIANCE - 4 stars...quite minimalist but clean SERVICE - 4 stars...very polite crew here TOTAL - 4 stars...heavy mellow spot, could toot its own horn about their full menu offering RELATED - Exploring Berkeley?

    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.

    Double Float

    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!

    Pang Cha
    Linh D.

    Was trying to avoid Thai food since it's everywhere BUT DON'T EVER MISS OUT ON THAI DESSERTS!!! Wanted to try out this place before and SO GLAD I DID because it didn't disappoint! The store was lovely (love the decor, many cute/photogenic corner & plenty of space/high ceiling) and the server that day was really nice (actually speaks Thai!). The orders were just... fantastic! Double float was actually not sweet (ice cream paired really well with the toast. Pangcha could be a bit too sweet but mixing it well might work with the included toast. The actual pandan toast was well-portioned. They sell plenty of Thai snack too! But overall it's actually Cha Thai (Thai tea) because the flavor was distinctive and properly made, not just industrial or too sweet like the common Thai tea you may find out there!

    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.

    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!

    Cha Thai Milk Tea
    Gina G.

    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!

    Black sesame Thai Milk Tea
    Kelly L.

    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.

    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.

They have plenty of seating, and one of the biggest advantages is their excellent Wi-Fi speed, which makes it a reliable spot for remote work or studying. The atmosphere is enjoyable as well. There's usually music playing or a sports game on the TV, creating a comfortable, laid-back environment without being distracting. Their food selection is also better than you'd expect from a coffee shop. In addition to coffee and pastries, they offer cakes, breakfast items, and a variety of other snacks and treats, so there's always something to pair with your drink. Their hours are convenient, making it easy to stop by throughout the day. The only area where I think there's room for improvement is cleanliness. I've noticed on several occasions that when I arrive shortly after opening--sometimes within 30 minutes to an hour--there are still crumbs on the chairs, tables, and floor, even when there haven't been many customers yet. First impressions matter, and the café should be fully cleaned and ready for guests before the doors open. Customers shouldn't have to wipe down their own tables before sitting. Overall, I really enjoy coming here and would absolutely recommend it for the atmosphere, Wi-Fi, seating, and food options. With a little more attention to cleanliness before opening each day, it would be an even better experience.

This is a fairly spacious cafe with an industrial/warehouse, minimalist look. During my afternoon visit, it was busy inside and out on the covered patio. Lots of people on their laptops. Artis roasts their own coffee. Service was fine. I got a side eye from the cashier/barista when I asked where the water station was (it was my first time and I was unfamiliar with this place), but they were nice and polite otherwise. The water pressure at the self-serve faucet was too strong and sprayed water everywhere. Good for a coffee fix if you're in the area.
