I saw this place replaced iTea and decided to give it a try after seeing Yelp loved it. They have an awesome menu, with lots of really fun drinks. We got the lemon passionfruit with aloe and the jasmine milk tea with lychee jelly. The lemon passionfruit was bomb, I'd probably get that next time I'm here. The jasmine milk tea was good, the tea tasted high quality and I liked the lychee jelly that they used. The lemon passionfruit drink was definitely more unique though, I would highly recommend it! The woman who took our order was so lovely and even gave us topping recommendations for the drinks we chose when we couldn't decide. So glad this place is here now, it's a great neighborhood spot for boba if you're finishing up shopping nearby! read more

I ordered the chocolate creme brûlée marble milk tea here. My drink tasted like a milo with pudding. I liked my drink. The person who took my order was nice. He seemed like a new employee. I like that this tea place has food you can order. I might try the food next time I come here. They have wifi here, which is great for people who want to work while drinking tea or eating food. They have limited seating. I think they have seats outside of the shop. The most interesting food item that I saw that they have is buttered spam. This is the first tea place that I've seen that has spam on their menu. I also love the way my drink looked. Next time I come here, I want to try one of their matcha drinks. read more

We've tried them a few times hoping it will improve but their tea is too disgusting. No more. No matter how much we tell them "no sugar" all their teas taste like lollipops. Service takes forever while owner chats to their friends. read more

Really cute store. I like the location and the smells of the egg puffs drew me into the store. The boba was good! They go up to 110% sweetness so be ready for a kick of energy! Lol The drink I got was good! A classic Thai milk tea with boba. The Thai tea was good. The boba was ok but all in all definitely worth the visit. I'm glad they joined the Walnut Creek area. read more

Li Cha Tea - Thai milk tea with boba. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

New boba shop in the heart of all the shopping in Walnut Creek! I saw this shop when I was shopping and thought why not try it out! The uniqueness of the menu drew me inn--names like creme brûlée marble milk tea anD oolong purple yam marble milk tea! I didn't feel that adventurous that day so I opted for the brown sugar Assam milk tea with boba. The milk tea was good, not too sweet. The boba was soft and chewy. The price is a bit steep for a small drink, and it wasn't the most amazing milk tea I've had in my life so this place doesn't get 5 stars from me. read more

Li Cha Tea - Menu - Bubble Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

My brother and I were craving milk tea and I went on yelp to see what boba shops were in the area and came across Li Cha. We thought the name was cool because it meant milk tea in Chinese and so we walked in and I ordered a chocolate creme brulee milk tea. The shop had several orders going on so we waited for about 15 minutes which isn't bad when there's a busy line. First impression of the drink was it resembled chocolate milk with small bits of pudding inside or creme brulee. I poke my straw in and yup, tasted like chocolate milk. The tea flavor was definitely there, but in my opinion the chocolate seemed to overpower the tea a little bit. It was alright. The interior looked like a T4, from what I read it took over an iTea and a QQ tea from before. It's a nice little spot if you're passing by, the drinks would pretty much be similar to an iTea or T4. read more

I was excited to try this place, but unfortunately was disappointed. I ordered a milk tea with boba, no ice; the milk tea was watery milk without the taste of tea, and the boba was too firm and not sweet. The drinks are pretty expensive ($4.50-$5.50 plus $0.55 for boba) but do not compare to other premium tea shops in this price range. read more

This was a great place to stop by for a wide variety of boba tea flavors. We chose the place for the abundance of options and because they had outdoor seating. We ordered inside and then sat at one of the outdoor patio tables in front of their door. Enjoyed what we ordered and also had the pandan egg puff. Would return again! read more

Amazing tea - the orange passion points in tea just blows my mind, fills my soul and makes any day better. However! I came I recently and got this tea without grapefruit slice, no grapefruit pulp and barely any boba. I finished all the boba before I got halfway done with my drink. Please provide consistency! read more

This has been one of my families go to spots when in the Walnut Creek area. The staff has always been so kind and welcoming. I personally always get the Rose Milk tea, it's fragrant taste is perfect and not overbearing and the rose pedals inside are a lovely touch. Although seating is limited indoors they've got tables/chairs for outdoor seating (I personally like getting fresh air, helps take a step back to catch a breather.) So if you're looking for a refresher before hitting the shops I'd recommend stopping here first read more

Bf put me on this place and I'm so happy he did. This is by far one of my favorite boba places in the Bay. I just wish I didn't live so far otherwise I'd come here more often. The staff is always beyond friendly and patient (I'm indecisive). Boba is also top notch and perfectly al dente. Huge variety of flavors and drinks to choose from in a super relaxing and cozy environment. Love this place so much. read more

I really enjoyed this refreshing boba! The pineapple passion was great for a warm summer day. Just the right amount of boba and tea :) read more

$6.75 for a large mango yogurt sludge. Tastes watered down. The large cup is tall but skinny.

My son likes this place a lot. He wants to get a tea with tapioca after his coding class each week. They have an awards program that they do not honor. It says, "Buy 10 Get 1 FREE Taiwan Signature Tea." My son was super excited about getting his FREE tea drink, but when we went to redeem it, the owner said we can get $5 off or get a regular tea. I didn't want to fuss about it with my son present, but I think it dishonest to have an awards program that has the word in all caps "FREE" and then not honor it. I'm going to look for another tea place that is honest about their awards. This is too bad because we love Taiwan and want to support Taiwanese-owned businesses. If you are not going to honor your awards program, just don't have one at all. read more

We ordered their brown sugar Assam with boba and hk lemon tea with boba and both are very disappointing. The brown sugar Assam is extremely watered down. The hk lemon tea doesn't contain fresh lemon and also very watered down tea. The boba is super soft on the outside while being hard in the center like when boba gets old. I don't know if it is. I don't recommend coming here unless you're desperate. I didn't try the food or the snacks but those look more promising. read more

I've been going to Li Cha Tea since they opened several years ago, and I absolutely love it. My go to order is the rose milk tea with lychee jelly and oh my goodness it's so good! I have a sensitive stomach and this is the only place where I can enjoy a drink without having a stomach ache afterwards. I always feel extremely welcome when I go in as I am met with warm smiles. The location is perfect as well because I can grab a drink before shopping :)) highly recommend!! read more

The boba scene out in Walnut Creek is dry AF, but I had a craving while I was in the area and needed a fix, and Li Cha was the only boba spot that sounded promising. My expectations were low, so I played it safe and ordered the Earl Grey MT. It actually turned out to be really good! I usually only get Earl Grey MT from i-Tea, but I'd probably order it from Li Cha too. Parking right behind Li Cha at the Broadway Pointe garage, which is free for the first 30 minutes. Perfect if you're doing a grab-and-go like I did. read more

Great bbt. Got the osmanthus oolong, 0 sugar and it was perfect. Service was on point. Someone brings your drink out so you can sit and relax after you order. Covid safe. Some constructive feedback. Make sure the lid is sealed well. Our lid did not seal perfectly and was leaking. read more

I tried this place for the first time while out shopping in Walnut Creek. The owner is so friendly and even requested to give us a sample of a drink because we couldn't make up our mind which one we wanted. We decided on a brown sugar with almond milk and a classic chai tea. I recommend you try them for yourself. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the Walnut Creek area. read more

I got an Okinawa Milk Tea, which had one of the best boba i've had it was super chewy and fresh, however for 30% sugar it was really sweet for me. Also, we got the curly fries and it was very underwhelming as it didn't come with the delicious sauces that you find at most boba shops, but rather it was just regular curly fries with ranch and ketchup. The fries reminded me of the curly fries you get in cafeteria food. read more

first time here, as far as i know itea or t4 was here before. anyway, the service is just ok. the boba is kind of hard, not that chewable. the salted crema, i expect a bit salty but it turns out sweet. strawberry mango is not fresh, i expect to get fresh strawberry and mango bits but it seems they use syrup. for peach flavor ~ the taste is a bit awkward. anyway, at least i try so that i know... read more

Cute little boba shop across the street from the Broadway plaza shopping center, directly across from Nordstrom's! Was craving a boba drink and found this place on Yelp. It is a very small space but there is plenty of patio seating, no indoor seating but there is plenty of shade on the patio. I did not try their food, but was pleasantly surprised to see they offered some good food options. I ordered the strawberry mango tea with boba 50% sweet. It was a good drink, not the best flavored tea I've ever had but that's not an expectation of every boba place I visit. I tend to prefer more natural tasting fruit teas than the fake sugary syrup drinks, which this was tasted a bit more like. I would combat this next time by ordering it even less sweet. Overall, the drink was tasty and I would def stop by again next time I shop at Broadway plaza! read more

Drinks and food are great. I've been a number of times, and especially love the fruit teas with lychee jelly. You're also not going to find a warmer, friendlier place to get a bite or drink. The owner remembered me when I came back my second time, even though it was was weeks later. Now she will greet me and wave, even if I'm just walking by. Hard not to stop in with food and people like that. read more

I REALLY REALLY IN LOVE WITH THEIR TEAS & BROWN SUGAR MILK TEA!! Apparently they're a branch from the origin of Boba, Taiwan. I was sad when I-Tea closed down because it was the only bubble tea shop that's close to Saje, my workplace. Then, Li Cha took over. I got the chance to talk to the owner. He is a really nice person. They have their own tea plantation in Taiwan, making sure the tea leaf are fresh and high in quality. And they have a special technique to brew their tea. No wonder their tea is a bit more expensive than usual boba tea. Try their Brown Sugar Milk tea. And if you like tea, try their oolong and four season. read more

Beware.... Old boba!!! As other yelpers have reported the boba here is firm which means it's not fresh. Against my better judgment I ordered from here yesterday (black milk tea with boba) and noticed the boba had weird texture. Within minutes after consuming 1/3 of my drink I was running to the bathroom. Won't be back and others steer clear. Shame on the business owner. read more

when you try to call in a order and pay over the phone, they stupidly lack the capacity to do so. They say they don't know how to. With corona virus going around you would think they would adopt this payment model. Instead they want you to pay in person and touch their touch screen... The taste of their drinks are mediocre anyways. I won't be going back. read more

Even with 50% sugar this was still great! The boba was soft and fresh. The owners were very kind and taking safety precautions. Will definitely be back! And only +50 cents for a large. This is Thai tea and milk tea with boba. read more

Li Cha Tea - Thai tea and milk tea with boba. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I was sad when iTea left this location but surprised myself by liking this place just as much, if not more. I love their Genmai-Cha Tea and the Pandan Egg Puff. My SIL likes the non-caffeinated Brown Sugar Fresh Milk, which she developed cravings for when she was preggers. The boba is nice and soft and I like that they they offer grass jelly and red bean! The parking garage next door is super convenient and you can call in your order to avoid waiting when you arrive. I recommend this as the place can get popular. Even when there isn't a physical crowd, it seems like they get plenty of call-in orders. read more

I was sad to find out iTea was replaced but I was happy to know it was by another boba spot and I was willing to give it a try. So I doordashed a regular milk tea with boba, taro-matcha, and pandan egg puffs. I've been wanting to try this place for awhile, but just wasn't sure what to order or if I'd like it. We haven't been going out so I didn't want to doordash something I possible may not like. Fortunately, doordash was offering free delivery today, I was set out to order at my normal boba spot but I decided to give Li Cha Tea a try. Maybe I'm being harsh, maybe I chose the wrong drink, maybe the distance between Li Cha and my house made the drink watered down but unfortunately, I do not like my drink all that much. My regular milk tea tasted off. It has a sour taste to it and I'm not sure if its because of the tea they're using or the boba. I will say the boba is nice, soft and chewy, but there is this weird sour after taste that I just can't bring myself to enjoy. I wish it was sweet like a honey boba, but the sourness is throwing my whole drink off. My bf liked his taro-matcha and my son and I enjoyed the pandan egg puffs. Maybe I need a try another drink, although I feel scarred that I don't even know if I wanna try it again. Only time will tell, but this first impression didn't leave a good one. Sorry, Li Cha, I really wanted to like ya. read more
