    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.

I walked in and I was immediately greated by Sofia and Yesenia. They were so sweet and polite. Due to this being my 1st time here, I needed all the help in understanding how to create my own bowl. Sofia took lead. She provide me her best reccomendations, what she had tried together, what she believed wouldn't go together and her patience was impeccable. She handkerchief me with such beautiful care..lol. After finally placing both my orders, they both worked as a team to make the magic happen. Sofia or my wife's bowl together and Yesenia put mine together. Sofia ensured that I was comfortable while I waited by inviting me to take a seat. She even found time to provide some cute humor while I waited. When they both were complete, we chatted for a bit as I took pics. I thanked them for my wonderful experience because that is exactly what I had. I felt like I was around familiar ppl. My wife was so pleased with the presentation. She told me that her entire bowl was delicious and she loved her matcha, s. splash and mango base alot. So ladies.. I will definitely be back...lol I reccomend this spot if you are looking for a feel good moment with warmth. Just ensure that Sofia and Yesenia are both there to make your time complete.

The menu has a lot of range which I'm grateful for: coffee, smoothies, bowls, toast, and everything is customizable with different boosts and swaps depending on what you need that day! I always feel good about what I order here. I usually go for the Power Shred smoothie since it has a really solid protein to calorie ratio (love the sprinkle of coconut on top too), and their avocado ricotta toast is so good (I always ask for pesto on it). The Original Fit Frappe reminds me of a frappe from bigger chain coffee spots, but it feels more balanced and made with better ingredients. I've been to a few other Earthbar locations and this one is definitely my favorite, the ambiance is clean and open, and the service is just consistently kind. Big shoutout to Victoria and Dom! As someone who works in service, I definitely notice that kind of care in places I go to, and they always make the experience feel easy and welcoming. It's nice to have them as familiar faces there.

I think I'm more of a dilettante when it comes to smoothies because I use questionable decision criteria like which one has the least number of calories. Here they offer fifteen smoothies, a couple of superfood bowls, a smoothie-bowl hybrid called a booster, and three gluten-free toasts. I came in and blindly ordered the $12.95 Slim Down, a blend of strawberry, pineapple, coconut water, their plant protein, and something called the Slim Down herbal tonic (Photo 6). At 240 calories, it was the lowest calorie option, so I decided to give it a try. It wasn't as bland as I feared it would be, and it certainly wouldn't be mistaken for anything that looks similar at a boba shop. However, my conscience was clear.

Love the aesthetic. While there is limited seating indoors, this feels like more of a grab-and-go style spot near the Cal Berkeley campus. There were a few students that came through while I was waiting on my order. I grabbed a smoothie and a bowl ~ checking out the menu a bit more thoroughly for next time, I'll order the Bowlieve Me, Baby (Red Dragon Fruit Base) or the I'm So Blue Without U (Blue Spirulina Base). You can adjust your toppings, and there's a checkbox to select the almond granola (GF, vegan) or with no granola. The bowl sizes are small, medium, large (8oz, 16oz, 24oz) and it looks like the smoothies come in one size. For the smoothies you can pick your plant milk (coconut/oat/soy come with a charge). They also serve energy balls that look adorably delicious and eye-catching. The bowls and smoothies are aesthetically pleasing and incredibly nourishing. What a fun find and win for the East Bay if in the area + need for a bit of elevated (and beautiful) nutrition. Smoothie-wise the Strawesome is delish and the Greenergy looks great! You can find parking in the garage across the street (I think the first hour may be free?) or street parking near/around the area with a short walk. Can't wait to know more about this special spot!

I got the Straw Awesome smoothie and I will say, it looked really cute. Like the presentation was definitely there. But the actual drink just didn't hit. It was around $11 or $12 and for that price I expected it to taste a lot better, but it just wasn't good. I honestly wish I had gotten an açai bowl instead because it would've been more filling and probably only a few dollars more, and I feel like I would've enjoyed it way more. So yeah, the place is adorable and the service is great, but the smoothie itself was low-key disappointing and I wouldn't get it again.
