    Peanut Butter Coffee
    Michael F.

    This is a neat small tea shop in the Esplanade. It's tucked in the corner, but it's open a roomy inside. I used the kiosk to order a Peanut Butter Coffee, a recent new offering from them. I love peanut butter and coffee so I wanted to see how they come together here. First thing to note, I selected the option presented to me on the kiosk for "Less Ice". When I received my iced coffee, it was full to the max with ice, despite it printed right on the side of the cup stating Less Ice. I don't think they could have fit another ice cube in there. Taste - The coffee was semi bitter which would be OK with some cream or flavor. It appeared that they lined the cup with peanut butter, yet that really didn't flavor the coffee much. It wasn't until I finished the coffee that I noticed I had a full cup of ice and peanut butter. I used my finger to get a nice heaping taste of the peanut butter and itneaa delicious. Whichever peanut butter they are using here, It tasted really good! This was an interesting drink, yet poorly executed in my opinion. The coffee was okay, but the peanut butter was excellent. Now, only if they could somehow get them to mix together... A shaken coffee maybe?

    Overall visit was good came in had a decent amount of customers sitting down enjoying drinks, we were greeted right away by two young men and our drinks came out quickly and received a big smile when we picked up!

    Chakaa Tea House is such a cute little hidden gem. I was craving some boba, as I usually do, but it was in the morning and the place I usually go to didn't open til noon. But I saw that this place opened up at 11 so I thought I'd try something new and it did not disappoint. The inside was so cute, a modern feel but also so inviting with the foosball table which was a nice touch. The perfect place to catch up with friends and hang out for awhile. My go to is always a brown sugar boba drink so I tried theirs and it was sooooo good. Since I came right at opening I waited about 15 minutes for the boba which I assumed would be the case because it takes time to make the boba so I didn't mind. Plus it was well worth the wait, I will definitely be back and bringing friends!

    First time here while I was in town and the Vietnamese iced coffee was really good! I recommend it. The place was clean and seems like a chill place to study or hang out with friends. Nice casual vibe and the service was pretty good too! I'd come back

    Got a roasted oolong milk tea. Tea was milky and boba was hard. Place was cute and plenty of parking.

    Chakaa has been one of my favorite spots since they opened, particularly due to the strawberry cheezo and strawberry green tea drinks with the pieces of strawberry at the bottom of the drink. I was very disappointed when I returned yesterday to discover no strawberry pieces in my strawberry cheezo :( although the drink was still delicious, it made it much less special for me and I am not as likely to go out of my way for this, especially at almost $8. I was also a bit disappointed that the usually friendly and cheerful staff did not feel warm at all in greeting me or in their interactions. I was also surprised by how warm it was inside, too warm for me to comfortably stay there if I wanted to - you expect a place like this to be cool inside, not warm. I hate to deduct a star and still think the drinks are delicious, but I hope they go back to adding the strawberry pieces at the bottom of the drinks rather than blending them all into it.

    One of my favorite Boba shops in the 805 area. I love their unique flavor combinations as well as the crushed fruit and some of their drinks. I wish they had lactose free milk because I am lactose intolerance but otherwise I love this space. I come here a lot to study and they play a lot of k pop music. I love how there is also rewards program.

    Located at the Esplanade Shopping center. Busy area so parking might be difficult unless you don't care about walking towards the parking for the other stores. Clean space, friendly stuff. Delicious combinations of tea creations. My only issues are the hours. I want my tea/smoothie early in the morning and they don't open until 11:30 am.

    Ordered the Banana Matcha, Super Passionfruit, and House Bobo--and wow, everything was delicious! The Banana Matcha was recommended by the staff member, who was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knew his drinks. It ended up being such a treat and definitely my favorite of the three. The ambiance was also beautiful. I especially loved the flower wall design!! it made the space feel so inviting and perfect for photos. I'll definitely be coming back again!

    Chakaa has become our favorite boba spot . We often order large fam orders . The Viet coffee is a fave for sure for shhuurree ! Space is large and nicely kept. Love the music that is often playing. They don't post often on insta or advertise much but it has quickly become a local favorite. Per Yelp it is a top place to drink. My fam used to order from Boba Time but once I turned them into Chakaa , they have never looked back !

    What i was surved

    8 dollars for a drink filled 50%. Payed an extra 50 cents for no ice and 1 whole dollar for boba

    BLUEBERRY MATCHA

    Every drink I have had is good. Flavors are hit or miss depending on who is making it. Customer Service is definitely lacking. Maybe that's not what they want to be known for but if you have great customer service then it definitely makes ordering easier for those who may be nervous to try a new place! Blueberry matcha 8/10

    Beautiful small meal dessert and drink place. We ordered two ice cream cups and two little cakes…read more Everything was sooo tasty! Not too sweet, so we can savor the original flavor we wanted, and much healthier. The shop has plenty of both inside and outside seatings. Interior decor is modern and artistic. AC is on. Service is fast. Prices are very reasonable. Our party of four, two kids two moms, were very happy. You can also take to go order and just eat it on the beach or on your stroll in the walkways of the harbor. Soak in the sun the ocean breezes and enjoy the best Southern California has to offer!

    I came in yesterday on 4th of July and the line was long(which I didn't mind since it's a busy…read moreholiday). We ordered 5 hot chocolates for our family. My issue is that all of our hot chocolate felt very light and when we took the lid off to check it out they mostly filled it up with whip cream!!!! They rushed it and stole money out our pockets by not filling up all 5 cups. It was a waste !!!! Then the hot chocolate that they serve wasn't even anything to be screaming about. The local 711 hot chocolate is better. Just a shame that they would do that to people bc they're busy. Never right. The picture doesn't even show how much more was missing under that whip cream. Also it wasn't even hot more like warm temp
