4.5/5 Black tea with cream (ie boba-less). Half sugar, less ice. Good rich flavor.

My nephew told me to go try here after I realized Bubble n Tea was closed on Mondays. Took my two little kids after school a run from Happy Valley to Cedar Hills and was impressed with ChiCha with tasty drinks. I prefer the taiwanese style boba handcrafted beverages, so this place hit the spot to make my drive worthwhile without regret.

Iced Peach Oolong Tea with Konjac

Hailing from Taiwan, ChiCha San Chen brings high quality ingredients together in delicious harmony. The tea quality is among the best in the city and drinks are brewed to order. The high mountain pouchong pairs particularly well with fruit flavors and the dong ding oolong is a great medium body balance to milk teas. Though the menu isn't expansive, they are focused on quality over quantity. Menu highlights include: * High Mountain Oolong with Passion Fruit * Dong Ding Tea Latte * Taro Latte While the standard menu is great, seasonal offerings like the summer peach series can be standouts. Even with many bubble tea choices in the area, ChiCha San Chen stands above most in almost every regard. Definitely worth many return visits!

Very artsy boba spot at Cedar Hill Crossing. They've definitely given boba their own unique touch, and I LOVE their drink holders with the twine handle, such a fun touch. I ordered the high mountain Pouchong tea with mango, and it was great. The boba was a little less firm than I'd prefer, but it was super fresh, which is a big plus.

ChiCha San Chen now has a location in Oregon and it is in the Beaverton area! This spot is located in a mall right next to Powell's bookstore. To get here, there is a parking lot with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have the same menu to go along with the modern and spacious setup as most of their other locations. This one however does not have a wait, which was a huge plus! I ended up getting the High Mountain Orange Pouchong Tea and wifey got the Dong Ding Oolong Tea with Fresh Milk. All of the staff here are friendly and welcoming. ChiCha San Chen welcome to Oregon!

Dong Ding oolong Tea Latte
Kevin L.

Parking is plentiful and easy to find. The interior was so fragrant and nice. Ordering is done on a self serve kiosk. Dong ding oolong tea latte (5/5): so creamy. The boba was soft and chewy. The tea was so fragrant and the right sweetness. I opted for less sweet. Tap to pay is accepted. Portions are a little small but the quality is top notch. Overall, ChiCha San Chen is a top tier boba shop. Drinks are super high quality and rich.

Located next to a branch of Powell Books, ChiCha San Chen is a great stop to get milk tea before browsing. When we visited on a Saturday afternoon, the place was buzzing, with all tables taken, a number of people waiting for drinks, but no line to order (note: this location is a larger one and it's not nearly as busy as the one I visit most often up in Bellevue). They are busy but very efficient, pumping out drinks from four different specialized teaspresso spouts. We opted to only get one drink this visit since it was getting a little too late in the day for additional caffeine. Dong Ding Oolong w/ Cream, Perfect Sugar, Less Ice w/ Boba ($7.50) - This tea has strong, deep earthy flavors from the heavily oxidized tea leaves. It otherwise has an extremely creamy mouthfeel, very pleasant to sip on slowly. Less ice actually might not be enough - the ice melts before completely cooling the drink down. It's cool enough, but not ice-cold. Perfect sweetness is around 50% sweet compared to other shops, which is good for me. It's a good soft pleasant sweetness, not harsh in any way at all. The boba is pretty consistent with other locations (some are a little firmer, some a little softer, but the spread isn't very large with the worst rating I've given a 4, best a 5, and the typical being 4.5). The pearls are large and chewy with great bounce, albeit a little too firm for my tastes. It's probably partially due to not being marinated in as strong of a sweetener as top tier boba. Still very good. Milk Tea Rating: 5/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Overall this Chicha San Chen is very consistent with other locations. It's a premium priced boba shop, but I think the extra money spent is worth the quality jump. Bathrooms - They have a bathroom code displayed at the counter but I couldn't find one in store. Instead, since this is in a mall, there are larger bathrooms just a minute or two walk down the hall.

I was surprised when I looked up "boba shops" in Portland to not only find a ChiCha, but a ChiCha without a huge crowd or line to wait in! I'm a Bay Area transplant and let me tell you....I dared not to go to the ChiCha in Cupertino because I valued my time and sanity. So ChiCha San Chen in Beaverton was my very first time there! And it definitely lives up to the hype. VERY tea forward drinks, the entire place smells deliciously fragrant with a pleasant aroma. Employees are super nice and usually offer a sample of a fruit tea or milk tea. My default is the Dong Ding Oolong Tea Latte with boba at perfect sweetness and no ice. The boba is always soft, sweet, and chewy - just perfect. I'm also a huge fan of the High Mountain Pouchong Tea with Mango on a warmer day! Why not 5 stars? I REALLYYY wish they had a loyalty program, and I wish their drinks were larger-sized. At nearly $7 a cup, I'd appreciate either of those features that some of my favorite tea shops seem to offer. I'll still happily patronize ChiCha though!

Bubble Milk Tea
Jen F.

Very high-quality feel to this boba place. They spend a lot of time making each drink and making sure it's perfect. I ordered the bubble milk tea which was delicious but despite getting 100% sweetness it's not very sweet and doesn't have strong flavor, so if you're more into a mild tea flavor this is for you. I wouldn't study or do work here because it is often very busy with people walking through and a bit over-stimulating since its floor plan is one big long rectangle basically.

Entrance

Finally got to try this boba spot! It's located in the Cedar Hills crossing shopping center. It's right near the movie theater. There are two entrances to the boba cafe. Walking in, I was taken back by the aesthetic. It had a clean, contemporary botanical vibe. The decor had circular plant engravings and a teapot array. There is a tablet to order off of and someone to take your order. There are display tvs with the menu and a booklet at the counter. I asked the employee what she recommend. She said green tea with crème. I added boba to it, coming out to $7.60. It did not take long for it to be ready. The drink came with a little string to carry. I loved my drink, it tasted so good. Best boba flavor I ever had.

Taro Milk Tea and Cassia Black Tea with honey and boba
Rachel M.

This is my favorite boba spot in the area. Since the loose leaf teas are freshly brewed to order with a teasspresso machine, you have a wait a few minutes longer than other places. The menu includes green and black teas with a separate taro section and customizable options. I usually order the Taro Milk Tea (5 stars) with a black tea base. It includes taro paste that captures its true flavor rather than the sweeter and more purple versions elsewhere. The texture of the taro balls remind me of mochi. I also like the Orange High Mountain Pouchong Tea (5 stars) with boba. This combination highlighted the orange flavor more than the subtle green tea flavor. The Mango Green Tea (4 stars) with boba had a nice floral flavor. My husband's go to order is the Cassia Black Tea (4 stars) with honey and boba. The staff knows their menu well and can make recommendations if you are not sure. They usually offer a featured tea to sample. They keep the space clean and consistently provided 4 star service.

The display next to the self-order machine

In a hot summer day, a cup of cold drink helps to keep hydrated and the fruit tea is making me feel refreshed. The shop uses a self-ordered machine for customers to place orders. You can pickup your drink when they call your number or name.

A haiku review: Sadly a two star Thick sludge lies at the bottom Taro lacks color The "perfect" sweetness, Tastes like there is no sugar Chunky and grainy Ordered for a sweet Yet flavor's giving health beverage Drink was a bit warm

Delicious!

When we visited a couple of weeks ago in May, the themed drinks were Lord of the Rings and Mario. I had the Gondor, which, if I recall, may have had hazelnut and cinnamon. I DO recall that it was delish. I forgot what drink my daughter ordered, but she enjoyed it as well. I look forward to coming back and trying their London Fog, which is one of my favorite drinks and seems to have significant praise from other reviewers. We didn't get an opportunity to try the food, but look forward to in the future. One refreshing surprise is that this is a no-tip establishment. I don't recall what I paid for the drinks, but I appreciate places that charge what they need to make their business work and to (hopefully) pay their employees a living wage. Brickhaus is rooted in community and belonging, and I am here for it!

One thing that caught me off guard was that there wasn't a traditional menu posted. As a first-time visitor, I wasn't sure what coffee options, blends, or milk choices were available. Thankfully, it wasn't too busy, and the employee working was incredibly patient, friendly, and happy to walk me through everything. Customer service like that goes a long way.

The breakfast burrito was also delicious. I added sausage, Guac, and mushrooms. It would've been a 10/10 if left off the mushrooms. The burger tasted precooked, not a lot of flavor, just ok.

It's packed with savory flavor, and the egg has an incredibly light, cloud-like texture that pairs perfectly with the bacon, peppery arugula, and the rest of the ingredients. It's one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. Their lattes are just as impressive. I've tried both the ube coconut latte and the black sesame latte, each made with plant-based milk instead of regular milk. The ube coconut latte was smooth, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. The black sesame latte, however, was the standout for me. It had a rich, nutty flavor and is hands-down my favorite of the two. I don't believe it's a regular menu item, so if you happen to see it, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. Loro is on the pricier side, which is why I don't visit as often as I'd like, but I genuinely think it's worth it. The quality of the food and drinks makes it feel like a special treat. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the parking. The café is tucked between apartments and other retail spaces, so street parking is your only option. I've had to circle the block several times before finding a spot, making it less convenient if you're driving. Parking aside, this is a charming neighborhood coffee shop that consistently serves flavorful food and thoughtfully crafted drinks. If you're looking to treat yourself to an exceptional breakfast sandwich and a beautifully made latte, Loro Coffee is well worth the visit.

Personally, I could've done without the sugar crystals on top, but that's just preference. The absolute STAR of the show, though, was the Dad's Delight! By golly, my mouth is salivating just thinking about it. Super moist, just the right amount of sweetness, and the perfect pistachio nuttiness. YUM!
