My wife wanted to have a quick family dinner next door at Naan Cafe. As I started walking up, I realized that today was Monday and I saw the display board outside advertising the $1.50 Monday Special on 12/1/25, which is a Mango Green Tea. At that price, it is almost too hard to pass up. The store was busy, but they are so quick and efficient in making drinks that there isn't much of a wait. The store was decorated with Christmas spirit and a 7 foot Christmas tree. I was assisted by both Evan and Vicky who were very friendly. My 4-year old watched Evan intently as he took care in making his Vanilla Oreo Shake. Thankfully my son was feeling generous and shared his shake, that was generously topped with Oreo cookies and whipped cream. Definitely recommend coming here and I know I'll be back soon to complete my stamp card for a free drink! read more

My boyfriend and I were in the area and decided to check this place out. It was good! Parking lot was decent and inside is nice and cozy. The staff is nice and helpful. They have specials on Mondays and we were lucky to have gone on that day. We were afraid the tea would be watered down since it was so big but it was just right! I recommend trying this place if you are in the area! read more

Having been to my fair share of boba spots in and around OC and LA Counties, I've been exposed to the gamut of varieties of bubble tea. I was pleasantly surprised by this spot because I didn't know what to expect. I definitely think it's great that they give you a free topping for checking in. That said, I had the Strawberry Fields, which was green tea mixed with strawberries. The drink was refreshing and pretty tasty. Although it didn't blow me away, it was pretty solid. The boba was okay. Not quite as good as I wanted, but definitely serviceable. If you want boba in a pinch, you can't go wrong with this spot! read more

Chaca Tea Bar - Strawberry Fields - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Redlands, California

I was in the area and wanted tea. I found this on Yelp. Be sure to check in because your get one free topping! This place is in an older strip mall. There's some indoor seating. The service was good. They were fast and efficient. I got the mango tea with 25% ice and my free topping was the salted caramel cream. I felt there was more ice than I asked for but it was close. The cream was OK but I couldn't taste the salted caramel. I'm glad I gave it a try! read more

I love how much of a variety the menus offers. Im usually a taro gal but this time I opted for a yogurt based drink. I had a small strawberry yogurt drink with boba at 50% sweetness. It was very refreshing and I think it would be pretty yummy if it was blended too! The boba was not too shabby but I enjoyed the drink much more. I really liked that they added bits of fresh strawberries in the mix. The service was super quick even though it was the lunchtime hour, which is a plus! I haven't been to this location in over 6 years but the quality is just as I remembered. read more

One of my favorite boba spots. Service is always so quick and the workers are very friendly. I've been coming for years and will keep returning! read more

I have to say the boba here was top quality, better than most others. I ordered the pineapple smoothie/slush and it was refreshingly awesome...given that this particular day was a hot 90-100 degrees. I like how they have non-diary options and they specify it on their menus. Interestingly enough they also had a unique menu options, one offering sea salt cream where you get milk tea with sea salt foam. Never heard of it yet it is intriguing. I maybe curious enough to try it next time I'm in town. read more

Chaca is actually a really good Boba spot in the Redlands. It has definitely met my standards. I am always pleasantly surprised at the quality. I always come here when I am in the area. My usual: - Jasmine Green Milk Tea (50% sweet 50% ice) w/ Boba - Standard. Good. - Avocado Frappe (50% sweet) w/ Boba - Avocado Smoothie that isn't too icy. Love the texture. - Strawberry Yogurt (50% sweet 50% ice) - Very good. Great if you don't want caffeine. Sometimes their boba is really soft and sweet, which I appreciate. Love that warm boba! They also do have seasonal drinks, plentiful parking, and stamp cards. read more

As a previous poster stated, this shop could hold its own in the 626. Boba and tea is about average. The major plus here? MUCH BETTER price point for the beverages!!! Good tea, good boba, polite employees, and about $3 LESS than in the 626. Will definitely be back! read more

TO THE OWNERS OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!! It is extremely hot in the shop. Those poor employees look so over heated to be working in such horrible conditions!!! It's cruel actually!! We are visiting Redlands from out of state and I was horrified how extremely hot it was inside. Please do right by your employees and customers!! My next call will be to the labor board & the BBB if not taken care of soon. Again, unacceptable!! read more

I really love this place. We used to come here all the time when we lived in Redlands. The drinks are good and priced well. The only constructive criticism I have is that the young people who work here (not all of them) could maybe try a bit harder all around. I get that they are still young but at times they lack professionalism and care (constant chatter, flippant attitudes) and it's seeps over into the drinks as well. Besides that the place is great! Owners are very kind. read more

Delicious tea and a variety of flavors. The inside is welcoming and has seating. Service was quick both times I went. Highly recommend the milk teas. read more

I've never been disappointed by the service here or let down by the employees attitudes. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and they always ensure orders are handed out correctly.

A few weeks ago, my eldest daughter and I were in Redlands for personal business. On our way out of the city, I had the urge for a boba drink. I found Chaca Tea on Yelp and I said let's go. We arrived at the shopping center and didn't notice the boba shop at first because their sign was not lit. I had to look for it and finally found it. It's a cute boba shop. There was a woman taking orders and a man making the drinks behind the counter. I got the lavender milk tea with egg pudding. My eldest daughter got the mango green tea with lychee. We also got the regular milk tea with aloe vera for my youngest daughter. Unfortunately, my daughters and I were very disappointed in our drinks. They lacked milk tea flavor... very watered down and not enough sweetness. I have never tasted such bland milk tea in my boba drink journey. We'll definitely not be back. Hope you have better luck with your boba drinks here. Service was very quick though. Maybe they should slow down a bit and get the drinks right. I would prefer to wait for better tasting drinks rather than getting them fast and have them not taste great. Happy Chaca'ing! read more

I am from the 626 yo! I have to say Chaga is right up there with the prime Boba places in Los Angeles. No fake powder crap here. Its all real tea and syrups. Lets break it down!! 1. real ingredients and High level quality 2. a lot of selection to choose from and tastes super good 3.Clean inside and bathrooms are good too 4. great employees and atmosphere. I have high hopes that they can move to a bigger space soon. I know its custom for the Chinese to save money, If they invested in a bigger space we could have Anime night, haiku poetry readings, cosplay events that would generate income. I am a professional Mascot and I know how to market. They better get a move on cause Moon Tea is on their heels from Taiwan and the Taiwanese are friendly kind and open to cool ideas.. read more

Came late afternoon and there was two people waiting. I ordered a chai frappe or whatever and waited. They were making drinks, the people waiting got their drinks and then two more people came in. They were still making drinks and I was assuming they were making mine but the next drinks out were the people that just came in. I was still waiting for my drink and it finally came out. It tasted good but I'm not waiting while people behind me get their drinks first, here again. So I'm done with this place. read more

I was a bit apprehensive coming here after living in Orange County and experiencing some really great boba spots, but they did not disappoint! They have a pretty diverse menu, with plenty of options for milk teas, coffees, slushes, smoothies and shakes! We have tried quite a few options on the menu, and they have all been pretty good. We really enjoy their taro smoothie and the mango smoothie. They've been consistently smooth, and the boba is a decent texture. If your drink ever comes out and you don't enjoy it, they offer to remake it, which is appreciated. Great spot to stop by that is priced well, has generous sizes and is quality, from the drinks to the customer service! read more

The milk teas are super delicious. I love this boba place. Definitely recommend. They also have a Banning/Beaumont location too.

Located in a plaza on Redlands. Plenty of parking nearby. This store is small, but cozy. You walk up to order your drinks, there's so many choices to select, but we just ordered our favorite taro boba drinks. Surprisingly it's not the top 10 choices here, but that's ok. The employee there was friendly and smiled. Plus, she was fast with her service. We may just come back for the customer service we received and to try the other flavors. read more

excellent place to get a boba tea always freshly made and a nice place to talk with friends

My family and I come get Boba here every Tuesday. This Tuesday we missed it due to work but we came in on Thursday because my 5 year old loves this place and was begging me to take her. When we started coming here years ago, we would always asked if the strawberry slushy had a dairy in it due to food allergies my daughter has. We eventually stopped asking because she always gets the same thing and we know it's made with water. On Thursday we ordered our usually drinks but this time I brought one of my employees with me and she ordered a drink with dairy. I was watching the worker make the drinks and noticed she pick up a rag that was sitting on the counter and wiped my employees drink with it and then used the same rag to wipe down my daughters. I asked her to remake my daughters due to allergies so she did. She then walked over to me and said, Next time let the employee know about your daughter's food allergies because how are we suppose to know! I looked at her and said, You forgot the Boba. She started to laugh but not because it was funny, more of a pissed off laugh that she needed to remake it. Another young later came over to help her who we see all the time when we go in. After they made her drink, I asked the girl what her name was because I was to say Thank you for remaking it and I figured she was new and wanted to tell her we have all been new in a job and it was ok. She then stood tall, placed her hand on her hip and said GISELLE! With lots of attitude. I told her she didn't need to be rude to us because I was just trying to thank her. For me. I didn't want to react in front of my daughter or employee but I wanted to tell her that's not how to speak to people, especially customers who come in often. I was very disgusted because I own a business and my employees know never to use the same rag twice especially if the items are not the same. After we walked out, we saw the two ladies looking at us and talking which made me feel very uncomfortable. I emailed the owners and asked for a phone call which I never received. I'm sad to say that we won't be returning after our experience. read more

The drinks are amazing!! The service is so good and they treat customers well. Definitely recommend!

It was okay. One of the few boba shops in the area though. Not bad, not great. However, the texture of their boba is pretty good! Chewy, sweet, and not too soft. + Milk Green Tea: The tea flavor wasn't great. Pretty watered down and too milky. The tea did not come through. Overall, it paired well with the boba despite the lack of tea. + Watermelon Mojito: A good minty flavor, but the watermelon flavor tasted really artificial. It almost tasted like a jolly rancher or bubblegum. I wasn't a fan. Very little tea taste too. read more

Chaca Tea Bar serves more than tea. I have been by here a bunch of times and it always seemed empty and slow. I was wrong! When we had our drinks there, I thought we'd have a quiet time to enjoy our drinks and visit. There were a ton of people, in and out of that place. The baristas are very quick! While the line queued up, the through put was fast. Based on our visit, don't let a long line discourage you from ordering. When ordering notice their Modifications sign. You can choose from several options of sugar and ice content. A nice touch for the health conscience. My go-to is a coffee latte Frappuccino. This was good: the coffee flavor readily came through, was blended well and smooth but not chunky, and had the right amount of milk. Our next 2 drinks we ordered from the Chaca Top 10 menu board: a great way to be introduced to new drinks. We had the No. 1 Milk Tea /w Boba and No.6 Sea Salt Caramel Milk Tea. We liked both, and both drinks looked like their pictures in the menu board. Both had ample Boba pearls. The Boba had the right amount of chew and a hint of honey flavor. The No. 1 Milk Tea had a more pronounced green tea flavor. The Sea Salt Caramel Milk Tea had a more muted flavor with the Caramel. It was sweeter and saltier. The background music was what you'd expect at a coffee/tea place. But the mixers were a bit loud, if you're having a constant conversation. read more
