Walked in and immediately loved the smell of tea. It was strong and comforting, almost like one of those wall plug-ins but way more natural and inviting. We asked the barista and unfortunately it's their tea, otherwise i'd buy that wall plug lol! The space itself is super cute, with merch and a cozy vibe that makes you want to just sit there all day. We especially want to highlight one of the baristas (I believe he may be Filipino, young, tall, wears a hat). He was incredibly kind and welcoming, took the time to recommend drinks, and made ours exactly to our liking after we needed adjustments. You can tell he really cares about the customer experience, and he went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. We actually liked him so much that we walked back to our car to try to find cash to tip him,but sadly couldn't find any. We told ourselves we're definitely coming back just to tip him next time! Parking is in a shared plaza. We walked over from LXF Malatang (our favorite spot nearby). Overall, such a great experience. SHOUT OUT TO THE KINDEST GENTLEMAN!!! The tea, the atmosphere, and especially the service made it totally worth it. We'll definitely be back! read more

Ordered the black sesame Hojicha with barley popping boba, 25% sweetness. The Hojicha was not super strong and I would have preferred it stronger. Same with the black sesame foam. The drink was better once more of the black sesame mixed in with the rest of the drink. It's nice they have the barley and water chestnut popping boba available here though. Only other boba place I know that carries it is 3Cat. Interior is clean, but small. No public restrooms it seems. read more

Gave Ming Cha another try despite my previous experience with the service, but unfortunately it still didn't quite hit for me. The tea tasted very light and a bit bland for my liking. I've tried quite a few boba spots, and this one just didn't have the strong tea flavor I usually look for. It might work better for people who prefer lighter, more subtle drinks, but personally it wasn't what I was hoping for. read more

Ming Cha is a really solid spot and easily one of the better tea places in the area. The first thing you notice is the aroma--the tea smells incredible even before you take a sip. The drinks themselves are very tea-forward, which we personally love. You can actually taste the quality and depth of the tea rather than just sweetness, and that really sets it apart. We got their jasmine milk tea, and it's a standout for us. It's one of our personal favorites, and they executed it really well--fragrant, smooth, and balanced without being overly sweet. The space is very aesthetic--clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. It's a pleasant place to stop by, even if you're just grabbing something to go. Pricing is relatively reasonable for the quality you're getting. It's not the cheapest, but you can tell you're paying for better ingredients and execution. It is a self-service setup, so interaction with staff is minimal, but everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Overall, Ming Cha is a must-try if you're in the area. Great tea, great atmosphere, and a place we'll definitely be frequenting. read more

I was passing through the city of Walnut and wanted to grab a quick drink. I loved this little boba shop! They sell a bunch of cute items like stickers and other merch, and the drinks were delicious. What stood out to me was that they offer unique boba options like highland barley and water chestnut, which were very interesting to try. I got the Ube Osmanthus and loved the taste. It was refreshing and not overly sweet. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

Ming Cha is such a cozy cute cafe with lots of cute decor. The cafe is small but has some seating area and some board games to play with as well. Parking is shared with other businesses but there were enough areas for parking. The staff were super friendly and on point. Had assisted with some recommendations since we were quite indecisive with our choices because there were too many good options. Got to try: - Roasted Black Sesame - Jasmine Matcha - Omanthus Oolong Milktea - Mango White Peach! The drinks were light, refreshing, and wasn't too sweet; it paired well with the cream tops. Would love to try some of their other items in the future! read more

came here for drinks and ended up liking everything we ordered. the cheesy taro was definitely the standout for me because the foam was AMAZING. the white peach milk tea was lighter and refreshing, and the mango yuzu fruit tea had a nice citrusy flavor. also tried the mango jasmine lassi which honestly sounded questionable at first but somehow worked lol. drinks felt balanced overall and not too sugary. Loved the service and its a cute space to hangout! read more

Ming Cha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Walnut, California

Decided to give this place another chance since they were having their BOGO. It's a very clean small place with no seating. There is plenty of parking since it's located in a plaza. As you enter the door, the tea smell is captivating. However, the drinks were okay; nothing spectacular which is how I felt the first time I came when it opened. I ordered the Earl Grey Milk Tea (less ice) and Yuzu Grapefruit (no ice) both half sugar. They were drinkable but tasted bland. The server was friendly but way understaffed especially during a BOGO event. I don't think 3rd time coming will be a charm. read more

Service was excellent. The staff was friendly, patient, and took the time to answer questions and give recommendations without rushing me. It was small but very cute on the inside, with pictures of happy customers hanging everywhere. I tried the mango milk, white peach mango tea, strawberry matcha, and roasted black sesame. All of them were really good. The mango milk was not overly sweet, the white peach mango tea was refreshing, and the strawberry matcha was well balanced. The roasted black sesame was my favorite, rich and different than any drink I've had before. Everything tasted fresh and well made. I'd definitely come back. read more

OVERALL : When I walked into this shop and smelled the tea right away, I KNEW it was gonna be good! The shop was small and minimal, yet there were lots of people hanging out / chatting and enjoying their drink, which was a good sign. They're known for their tea-forward drinks and extra fluffy cloud tops that I've yet to see at any other boba / tea shop in my area. Service was fast + friendly and the self-ordering kiosks with photos of the menu items made it easy to order. I genuinely enjoyed every drink I got and am excited to come back and try more. They had some unique drinks that I don't know where else I would go to find! Bonus points for being not too sweet. PARKING : Small parking lot shared with other businesses in the plaza, but still many spots left on a Saturday afternoon. I did not have any issues w/ parking! FOOD/DRINKS : Double Matcha - matcha latte on bottom with matcha foam on top. Not too earthy, no clumps or powdery taste. 75% sweet was perf for me! Roasted Black Sesame - milk tea on the bottom was light and fragrant, loved the black sesame cloud and top. not too strong once mixed into drink though. 75% sweet Mango White Peach - Mango cloud with white peach tea, 75% sweet. The mango flavor just comes from the foam, but you can taste it slightly more if you mix it in. Lychee Osmanthus - frangrant with balanced lychee flavor, 50% sweet was perf Mango Jasmine Lassi - a very unique drink! creamy with strong mango flavor, but you can still taste the tea. 75% sweet read more

Decided to give this spot a visit and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is cozy even though the store is small but it does have some seats and even some games if you're here with friends. I got 4 drinks: double matcha, lychee osthmanthus with lychee jelly, white peach oolong with boba, and the roasted black sesame milk tea We got all drinks at recommended 75 sweetness and it was the perfect amount. the drinks were light, not too heavy if you're looking for a post dinner sweet treat. My favorite was the lychee osmanthus and ryan's favorite was the black sesame. Mingcha is celebrating their one year anniversary with an event! From jan 24-25 they're having a BOGO deal and the first 100 guests on both days get to pick 2 free merch from pickleball paddles, tote bags, and more! so make sure to check them out for some yummy treats and fun goodies! read more

Ming Cha - Double Matcha Lychee Osmanthus with Lychee Jelly White Peach Oolong with Boba Black sesame Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Walnut, California

My first visit was wonderful. I had to return for round two. Ming Cha is located within the Lemon Creek Village in Walnut. Free parking is available. I ordered via the self-ordering kiosk. It was very quick and easy. Ambiance was bright and clean. They have merch for purchase. No restrooms. This time around, I tried the Dubai Chocolate Latte which was amazing with the perfect amount of sweetness. I got it hot and it was the best! SO VERY GOOD!! Please let it cool down just a tad before drinking it. I got the Mango Yuzu Refresher for my eldest daughter. It was good, too, but not as great as the latte. Just a bit citrusy for our taste. I would get the latte again over the refresher for sure. Young man behind the counter was busy making the drinks. He was heads down most of the time. I didn't have any eye contact or interaction with him which was perfectly fine. I just grabbed our drinks when they were done. Thank you Ming Cha for coming up with some unique flavors and sharing with us! We'll be back!! read more

Tried Ming Cha and I'm honestly impressed. I ordered the double matcha jasmine green milk tea and the mango yuzu, and both were super refreshing in their own way. The double matcha jasmine green milk tea had a really nice balance -- not overly sweet, and you can actually taste both the earthy matcha and the floral jasmine without one overpowering the other. It felt clean and smooth, not heavy like some milk teas. The mango yuzu was my favorite though -- bright, citrusy, and perfect if you want something light. The yuzu gives it that extra tang that makes it stand out from your typical mango drinks. Service was quick and the drinks tasted fresh. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

Being a huge fan of oolong tea, I've been excited to try Ming Cha. It's located near Donut Tree with plenty of parking available in the front or back area. The shop is bright and clean with ordering two ordering kiosks. The menu itself isn't extensive. That's usually a sign that a shop takes pride in each of their menu offerings. I opted for the mango yuzu refresher because I felt like having fruit flavor. Drinks only come in one size. I could tell they use natural flavors because I selected 0% sweet. If they used syrup flavorings, it would be just sweet enough for me, but it wasn't really sweet at all. Nonetheless, it was light and tasty. The tea flavor was present, smooth, but not overpowering. Overall, I think this place is quite good if you like smoother, milder tea flavors. read more

Discovered this place through a Yelp event. So glad I visited. Luckily it's in my neighborhood and has become my goto place for boba type drinks. Small but nice looking interior. They've decorated well with little knick knacks around the store. Servers here are very friendly and welcoming. Order through the kiosk and they'll start working on your drink immediately. So far all the drinks I've tried here are made well and delicious. They know how to use their foam gun! My favorite drink is the black sesame with barley boba. It's a different flavor that's hard to get anywhere else. You can really tastes the black sesame flavor in the foam - recommend mixing the drink before drinking. The barley boba is also different and not too sweet - which is to my liking. So glad this place is in my neighborhood. I end up going almost every week! read more

Came back for round two because I love boba too much to give up that easily and I'm so glad I did. Tried the hojicha milk tea with no sweetness + boba, and it was a much better experience this time around. Good flavor tea and good boba are always important to me -- I usually get my sweetness from the boba itself, so I almost always order 0 added sugar. The hojicha was flavorful and smooth, and the boba was fresh, chewy, and delicious, which really made the drink. The staff was super friendly, the space was clean and welcoming, and they were kind enough to let me take photos (always appreciated by a food lover ). Everything felt thoughtful and well done, and the vibe was perfect for sitting and actually enjoying your tea. I'd definitely come back again -- the boba lover in me approves read more

Ming Cha - Delicious! They are not on the sweeter side so if you like sweetness then get that 100 lol - Bubble Tea Near Me - Walnut, California

This is a really cute tea shop in Walnut and a nice spot to grab a quality drink. The shop itself is cozy and inviting, making it a good place to stop by with friends or for a quick treat. I tried the double matcha with matcha cloud, ube osmanthus, and the peach oolong with cheese cloud. The matcha was rich and bold without being too bitter, the ube osmanthus was lightly sweet with a subtle floral note, and the peach oolong paired surprisingly well with the creamy cheese cloud. Everything tasted well-balanced and thoughtfully made. Overall, Mingcha is a solid option if you're in the area and craving something a little different from the usual milk tea. Would definitely come back to try more drinks. read more

Ming Cha is located in Walnut which is further out for me but I stopped by when I was in Rowland Heights the other day. I've been meaning to visit because this boba shop has been all over my feed recently. I tried the signature Mango drink and loved how refreshing it was! The Roasted Black Sesame was delicious, it had a good balance between hojicha and black sesame. I love the logo and design, it's so cute, it gives me a vibe of a modern Chinese tea shop similar to the ones from China! There's a few seats available if you want to sit down and enjoy your drink. Service is friendly! read more

A fairly new tea spot has opened here in Walnut and I have to say this is some pretty tasty tea at Ming Cha. You will need to order the tea at a kiosk, where a visible menu is displayed on the wall, as well as on the kiosk itself. I have been here twice and both times the tea was nice and you can select your preference on the sweetness level. I don't really like sweet teas so I think this is pretty good. They have a small seating area that you can chill in if you like old like. read more

Customer service was on point the whole time I was there, I think what I loved about this place is the teas were not overly sweet. Something that I enjoy tremendously and probably for people of older age enjoy this type of tea. My favorite was the black sesame foam with hochicha and also their Yuzu with grapefruit was amazing. If you really enjoy something super sweet then ask for a lot more sweetness. Their drinks are definitely made fresh and they don't use artificial sweeteners. read more

Drinks ordered: Taro Four Season (taro pure & four season milk tea) & Yuzu Osmanthus (osmanthus oolong & yuzu puree). Both light ice and 0% sugar. Taste: Taro Four Seasons had a toasty flavor that wasn't too strong and overpowering. I was able to taste it and understand that the milk tea was a mix of both taro and four seasons! If you prefer drinks with no sugar, then this drink will be perfect with no sugar! My bf and I both recommend this over the Yuzu Osmanthus. Yuzu Osmanthus was refreshing, tasted sour, & had a mild yuzu flavor. It was a bit plain in our opinion. Service: 10/10. A sweet girl named Sylvia offered to give us sample of the plain teas to which we tried the green tea and four seasons. They both tasted familiar! Once we were ready to order, she promptly took our order and made the drinks to order. It came out really fast!! Fun things: they offer to take a Polaroid of you and there's a wall of Polaroids! I did not take one as I did not feel picture ready but it is nice of them to offer it! They also give one mingcha themed sticker per drink ordered. Overall, I will come back. The prices are expensive but inflation made everything everywhere $7 T.T oh well. May Mingcha forever stay in business because I loved every aspect of this visit! read more

I smelled the lovely strong tea immediately once I walked in. I chose the ube Osmanthus milk tea and it was so good. Love how strong the tea was, while tasting the ube foam on top. I also added chestnut boba which was almost like a popping boba with some crunch. Too bad the drink is in a covered cup, I opened the cap and it looked so beautiful. read more

I was disappointed by the store policy. In order to get a cooler bag, you need to buy 4 drinks. At Molly and Auntea, even one drink gets you a cooler bag, let alone I have 2 drinks with me. Another minus is that there is no public restaurant. This is a drink restaurant and it doesn't offer public restroom? I got a lychee osmanthus tea 25%. I think it is too sweet. Please get a 0% for this drink. Overall drink is basic. The lychee taste is strong so that's a bonus. read more

Solid boba shop with fresh strong tea. My fiance recommended this to me and took me to try since she said it was similar to Molly Tea/Chicha San Chen. I got a milky drink and she got a white peach tea - I was pretty satisfied with both drinks. I can see myself coming back for this spot if I'm in the area. It's a good solid option if you want a stronger tea flavor over sweet & creamy. The location is tucked away in a plaza towards the backside so GPS might be a little confusing. read more

Went last weekend for their grand opening BOGO promotion. They are efficient and the fast are friendly! My friend and I got the Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea and the Lychee Osmanthus Milk Tea -- both at half sugar, regular ice. The drinks were still decently sweet, but it was good! The tea flavor isn't as strong but the osmanthus was strong for the Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea. The lychee one, on the other hand, tasted like a Lychee Flavored Yeo's Drink as the lychee taste was really strong (which I liked but was a bit surprised by it). read more

I hate to do this, but I'm going to be brutally honest... not going to sugarcoating it...unlike the drinks. I went to Ming Cha for their BOGO event, expecting a long wait...but not over two hours. A line is one thing; complete disorganization is another. The wait felt endless, with little to no communication from staff about delays or order status. What made it worse? After all that waiting, my order was forgotten. I had to follow up myself just to find out it hadn't even been made. At that point, the excitement for boba was long gone and replaced with frustration. And unfortunately, the drinks didn't redeem the experience. They were bland and underwhelming, lacking the depth and flavor you expect after committing that much time. No balance, no punch...just very forgettable drinks after an unforgettable wait (for all the wrong reasons). BOGO isn't worth it if you're paying with your time and patience. Between the excessive wait, forgotten order, and mediocre drinks, Ming Cha seriously missed the mark. I left disappointed and wouldn't go out of my way to return...even for a deal. read more

Drinks ordered: Double Matcha, Ube Osmanthus, Lychee Osmanthus, and Matcha Black Sesame. Their drinks are on the not so sweet side, and I prefer mine a bit sweeter. That's an easy fix though since they allow you to adjust the sweetness level. My favorite drink was definitely the Ube Osmanthus! Ming Cha is also celebrating their ONE YEAR anniversary! On January 24 & 25 they will be offering BOGO Free (limit 2 deals/person = 4 drinks total) & The first 100 on both days get to pick 2 free merch items including: pickleball paddle, tote bag, keychain, fridge magnet, or tumbler!

I was nearby and just got done with my dental appt so I decided to search for something on my bookmarks. I went right after they opened so the girl working looked like she was getting a few things ready but she answered my question about the yuzu drink, whether it would be doable with 0% sweet without tasting sweet. I went with the hojicha tea with sesame cream and the yuzu osmanthus tea. The hojicha was very nice, it tasted like a brewed green tea with a roasted note, which is different from powder that I'm familiar with. I would come back again for this if I'm in the area. The sesame foam I didn't really like that much. It had a bit of a raw sesame taste, not fully roasted. And it probably could do with more cream ratio since it kind of gave me a concentrated sesame taste. The yuzu was also pleasant. It had a strong yuzu flavor without the sweetness of certain types of yuzu jam/puree. I noticed that they've been switching up their toppings over time based on the menu pictures. Hopefully they modify the foam recipe because I would not order the sesame foam again as a black sesame lover. read more

MingCha never misses. From the moment you walk in, the space feels clean, modern, and welcoming -- it's the kind of spot you can sit and catch up with friends or just enjoy a drink solo. The drinks are consistently high quality. You can actually taste the tea (which is rare), and everything feels balanced -- not overly sweet or artificial. The boba has the perfect chew, and you can tell they care about getting the texture right. I also appreciate that they're consistent; every time I come back, it tastes the same. Service is friendly and efficient, even when it's busy. Orders come out quickly, and the staff is always patient with customizations. If you're looking for a tea shop that focuses on flavor and quality rather than just aesthetics, MingCha is it. Definitely one of my go-to spots. read more

As soon as you open the door at Mingcha, you're greeted with the amazing aroma of freshly brewed tea such a great first impression! This spot has only been around for about 8 months, but everything already feels so well thought out and put together. Their branding is on point from the cups and straws to the napkins, to-go bags, and even cute merch like pickleball paddles, totes, and tumblers. We tried a few drinks and loved them all: Dubai Chocolate Latte - rich and smooth with a nice balance of tea and chocolate. Mango Yuzu Refresher - super refreshing and not too sweet. Mango Jasmine Lasi - unique combo that's creamy yet light. Ube Osmanthus - floral, earthy, and beautiful to look at! What stood out the most was that you can actually taste the tea in every drink. It's not just sugar and toppings. You can tell they really care about quality and flavor. Definitely a must-try spot for boba lovers in the Walnut area. I'll be back to try more flavors soon! read more

It's a youthful vibe boba shop founded in US by American Asian. They sell pickle ball and some merchandise. The small store filled up with mini pictures walls. The drinks itself is not too bad. Using tea leaf imported from Taiwan and ceremonial Matcha. Good price range. You can choose a regular plastic cup or a smart paper cup with flexible top cover for sipping or straw. Flip cover either one or both. Love the paper cup. Located in the back row side facing la puente. Rather hidden. Same row with Donut store. Service was fast. Hope this place last. Promote local vendors especially when the taste and price is good. SYOY! read more

Came here to try for the yelp event! The place looks very modern, some nice decor. It isn't that big of a place, so if you have a big group keep that in mind. This tea shop is very close to Walnut High. I tried the Yuzu green tea, and also tried the Oolong Milk Tea. The green tea drink I believe could have had a bit more green tea ratio, but I did enjoy the Oolong. I saw some people talk about the lack of choices but I actually like places that don't have too much on their menu, I believe this helps to make their offered drinks better and not so hard for customers. I liked that the place was clean and that you can order your own drinks on the side with the touch screen menu. If I am in the area I would stop by again for their Oolong and Agar Boba. Until next time! read more

This place has the potential to be very good!! I was pretty excited to try this place because I heard a lot of good things about it however, I felt like the drinks did not live up to the standard that my fellow foodie friends talked about. For the matcha, there was some white powder clumping on top of the drink, I think it was the flavoring? The cloud topping was good though, and I think it definitely added to the drinks! I think with some tweaking of their recipes, their drinks can be impeccable! read more

I liked this place! Tried the standard brown sugar milk tea and it was yummy - sweet enough but not too sweet. Also tried the black sesame with the cloud and barley boba. It was less sweet and the boba had an earthy flavor - I liked it! (But I like barley, so there you go.). It's a cute place with a cute logo and the service was friendly and fast. Prices were fair and pretty good, all things considered. I'm definitely going to try more things soon. read more
