    Stopped by on Saturday, 04/18/26 for the first time. Located inside the Brea Mall, I ordered the following: - 1 boya jasmine green tea latte = $5.95 (I asked to add oat milk) - 1 peach oolong tea latte = $5.95 (I asked to add oat milk) SUBTOTAL = $11.90 15% OFF DISCOUNT = -$1.79 (download the app, create an account for this discount!) TAX = $0.78 OVERALL TOTAL = $10.89 The wait time took a while but it wasn't as bad. It was extremely crowded. I dislike how this place does not have any matcha drinks. This place only serves CAFFEINATED TEA, no boba whatsoever. I really like the bag they give out - such great quality!

    Heard the line gets really long here. However, we went on as Friday afternoon and it wasn't too bad. The wait to pick up drinks was longer than to order. I got the peach oolong lemon tea and my husband got the jasmine Lemon tea and they were both really good. A tad bit sweet but good. If you like it a little less sweet, 50-75% is good. It was very refreshing on a hot day. Can't wait to go back to try the other teas.

    Popular Chinese tea shops like Chagee are bound to have wait times and this one in the Brea mall is no different. I braced myself and waited the 20-25 minutes for one drink. I ordered the Roasted Oolong Black Tea; it was delicious for the first few sips but was watered down halfway through the drink. I do wish there was more tea, as I do taste the flavor, but tastes watery quick as the ice melts. There aren't many tables as the shop is small. I'd consider the wait to try Chagee due to its popularity, but only if you are willing to wait. The service is friendly, and they do call out names, so your drink isn't just left there on the counter as a mystery, at least.

    Chagee is a tea house that is well respected on the Internet and social media, so stumbling across it on my visit to Brea excited me. However, I wasn't too impressed with the orders we made. The menu is a bit limited, which is no problem as I think it's nice to specialize in specific teas and latte forms, but they were just... okay. I will say the overall aesthetic is nice inside though. We ordered the Ceylon black tea latte and the amber oolong tea latte, and it was a bit underwhelming. The Ceylon black tea latte was pretty average. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that special. The amber oolong tea latte, however, seemed very watered and milked down. The tea flavor itself felt lacking and very light. I believe the Ceylon black tea latte to be leagues ahead because of that, but in general, I felt like the teas didn't exactly live up to the hype I've seen online.

    I honestly hoped I'd enjoy this place a lot more than I did. I ordered a large Ceylon milk tea (I can't remember what it's called) and I couldn't adjust the sweetness or ice levels. I decided to just give it a shot. For it being a tea place with no toppings, I was really setting a high bar. However, they definitely fell short. The tea honestly tasted diluted and with the ice, it was only going to be more diluted as I held onto it. The line was significantly long, there were plenty of to go orders, and the shop itself was busy. Why? I have no idea but I most likely will not come back unfortunately.

    First time visiting--I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I ordered the peach oolong tea, but since they were out of sweetener, it ended up just tasting like plain tea. Unfortunate timing, I guess. Overall, I didn't find anything particularly special that would make me want to come back. I might return to try some of their other milk teas, but I didn't quite understand what all the buzz was about. The service was good--the cashier was super nice and friendly. However, the area where they were assembling drinks and orders seemed a bit disorganized. On a positive note, the ambiance is really nice. The décor is very aesthetic, and I liked that they offer online ordering as an option.

    Came here with my friend who is obsessed with Chagee for my first time trying out Chagee! They do have a mobile app that is currently running a promotion for your first order through the app to be a % off. There is limited indoor seating as well as a restroom inside. We came on a Sunday afternoon and the mall and Chagee were PACKED. My friend and I ordered online in advance to just pick up the drinks much faster which I do recommend although we came back a few hours later and waited in line and it didn't take too long. One thing to note is for all orders, they don't call out your name when the order is ready so just be prepared to keep a close eye on the drinks coming out. Boya Jasmine green tea with less sugar 4.5/5, well priced, the 3 hole straw is excellent for a slow sip to savor the tea, I would absolutely come again and order this again

    I was too intimidated by the long line at Chagee on opening weekend to try it but we came back on a Sunday afternoon a few months later and were pleased to find a relatively short queue. While the Laufey collab was intriguing, I knew what I wanted: the amber oolong. It had those nutty, toasty notes that I love. I'm a little embarrassed to admit it was gone in just a few sips (gulps), but to be fair, it was a really hot day and this iced tea was very needed! I didn't stay so I can't say much for the ambiance. There were a handful of seats but they all seemed to be taken.

    have heard many great things about the chagee craze. One noticeable thing was how premium the experience felt, from waiting in line to waiting for the drink. They were pretty busy, as expected but ordered and received the drink in under 30 mins. I wish they had a stand alone store instead of having to navigate through an already crowded mall but it's ok. Simple menu focusing on TEA. Loved the decor inside and the books the have on the wall about their history of tea In Taiwan. Oolong Latte: 4/5. Honestly nothing super crazy, good amount of tea. Tasted more milkier/watery imo but the tea balances it out well. Solid option. Would def come back and try everything else when in the area :)

    I've always thought chagee is a pretty good dupe of Molly tea if I don't want to drive far to LA! I enjoy their tea flavors a lot I think it's pretty strong. Prices were affordable and their packing is so cute!! The only problem is the line, I always hate going here bevause the drinks take about 30-1hr, however YHEY do have an online ordering system so that makes it easier!

    LAUFEY!!!!
    Anastasia V.

    Any teahouse that collabs with Laufey is a teahouse that I will frequent.. and I do love Chagee! This particular location usually has a line but the wait doesn't take too long, and you always have the option to order through the app for pickup. The staff is always super helpful and nice which is always a plus. I always get the Amber Oolong tea latte and it always hits the spot. The flavor is nicely nutty and never too sweet. If you prefer more floral, jasmine teas, I recommend their Boya Jasmine tea latte. This specific drink is in collaboration with Laufey, and you have the option to purchase the Laufey bundle to win tickets to a future Chagee x Laufey concert. Chagee has also been opening plenty of locations throughout LA/OC, so I recommend giving it a try at least once!

    Ever since Chagee opened up in the Brea Mall, I've been very hesitant to try them out because of how long people have to wait. I took my chances on a random Monday a little past noon. The place was moderately filled up with a few people in line to order. Since it was my first time at this tea joint, I asked the cashier up front what was popular and after she assisted me, I went with their Amber Oolong Tea. I was told that it wasn't too sweet so for my first time, I decided to get it regular sweet. The flavor was honestly pretty good but the tea flavor was a bit on the weaker side. Next time, I would definitely get it less sweet and get it with oat milk to maybe get more tea flavor. I waited less than 5 minutes and I was quite surprised knowing that others have waited upwards of 45 minutes to an hour plus even with nobody around.

    Roasted Oolong Tea Latte & Roasted Black Tea Latte
    Kiana L.

    Changee finally opened a location closer to me, and I've been wanting to try it for a while because I love Chinese boba shops that focus more on the tea than the toppings. Their drinks aren't overly sweet, which makes them really enjoyable for me since the sweetness is just the right level, enough to complement the tea without overpowering it. I tried their Roasted Oolong Tea Latte, and I was so impressed. It's hard to find places that do roasted oolong rather than just standard oolong, and this one was perfectly balanced with a rich, toasty flavor that really highlighted the tea itself. The drink was smooth, well-prepared, and comforting, exactly the type of tea I love. The shop was pretty busy, especially since we went around their grand opening, but the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Since it was our first time, we weren't sure what to try, and they were patient in explaining the drinks and helping us make our choices. That kind of service really makes a difference, especially in a place that's a little new and unfamiliar. The space itself is also really clean and inviting, with a modern yet cozy vibe that makes it easy to enjoy a drink and relax for a bit. I can see myself coming back regularly, not only for the delicious teas but also for the welcoming atmosphere and helpful staff. This place definitely stands out as one of my new favorites for tea.

With so many boba shops opened now in brea including the 3-4 spots in brea mall alone, good drinks and good service will keep your business alive. 2 stars for my pineapple Green tea. It was decent but the ice level sucked. Very little ice was given and the ice they used melted super fast.
