    EARL GREY MILK TEA w boba (left), DOUBLE MATCHA (center), green grape milk tea w highland barley boba (right)
    Katie L.

    My friend said they'd been wanting to try here for a while, we went tgt today! We had the green grape milk tea with highland barely boba, earl grey milk tea with boba, and double matcha! I had been worried to try the green grape milk tea because I've only ever tried them separately and wasn't sure how a fruity creamy drink would taste, but it was soooooo good! My friends said they were glad they got the double matcha at 50% because it would've been too sweet if not The highland barley boba resembled more of a popping style boba, with a "wrapper" feeling. I personally prefer the texture of regular/honey boba, but the taste was rlly good The interior was gorgeous! And so cute to have Polaroid films of guests everywhere, though I wonder how you can achieve being pinned up there haha

    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.

    Zero sugar and the black sesame cream blends well. Quick services. No line during daytime

    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.

    Ming Cha in Walnut is definitely one of the most unique drink spots I've tried recently. The cheese foam is so smooth, creamy, and slightly salty, which pairs perfectly with the tea. Every sip has a rich flavor without being overly sweet. We all loved the matcha and black sesame drinks. The matcha tasted earthy and smooth, while the black sesame had a deep roasted nutty flavor. The ube foam was also super creamy with a light vanilla-like sweetness that made the drink extra special. I really loved the Cheesy Taro drink! The taro flavor was rich, smooth, and creamy with a natural sweetness, and the cheese foam on top made it even better. The slightly salty and creamy foam balanced perfectly with the sweet taro flavor. Such a unique combination and honestly so addictive! Definitely one of my favorite drinks at Ming Cha. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors My kids loved their drinks too, and we already want to come back to try more flavors! If you enjoy boba, milk tea, or creamy foam drinks, this place is definitely worth checking out. Friendly service, cute atmosphere, and lots of creative flavors to choose from! Free Parking!!

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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!

    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.

    Do the lattes and milk teas contain diary? Is there a non-dairy option for us lactose intolerant people?

    We use our house milk which does contain dairy but we can replace it with oat milk which will be an extra charge.

    Originating from Taiwan, this bubble tea shop is a must-try. I am a huge fan of their Osmanthus…read moreOolong Tea with Mango. It tastes crisp and refreshing and does not taste syrupy at all. Another amazing drink is the Cassia Black Tea with Mousse. The tea itself tastes robust and slightly malty, while the mousse adds a silky and creamy texture that enhances the drink. My husband especially likes the drinks from the Lemon Condensed Milk series. Each cup is freshly brewed to order and has a strong tea base, which is exactly how I like it. This particular location only has one ordering kiosk and only a couple of small tables. It is definitely more of a grab-and-go type of place. The premium tea taste and tea quality here are consistent with other locations I've been to. I like that we can see into the kitchen and watch the drinks being made. If there is a wait, it is all worth it!

    I stopped by Chicha San Chen after hearing about its award-winning reputation, but unfortunately,…read morethe experience fell well short of the hype. The shop itself was clean and filled with a pleasant tea aroma that created a welcoming first impression. Service was average, with nothing particularly memorable about the visit. Considering the relatively small size of the drinks, paying over $8 per drink felt difficult to justify. **Green Tea with Boba: 2.5/5** For a tea shop renowned for its freshly brewed-to-order teas, this drink was surprisingly lackluster. It tasted noticeably watered down and had very little of the fresh, fragrant jasmine tea flavor I was expecting. The chewy boba was the highlight, offering a pleasant texture with just the right amount of sweetness, but it couldn't salvage an otherwise disappointing drink. **High Mountain Pouchong Tea: 1/5** This drink was an even bigger letdown. Like the green tea, it tasted diluted and lacked the floral depth and complexity that a high mountain pouchong tea should offer. An unusually artificial, creamy, sweet aftertaste also lingered after each sip, further detracting from the overall flavor. Overall, the drinks lacked the bold, distinctive tea flavor I'd expect from an award-winning tea house. Considering the premium prices and relatively small drink sizes, the quality ultimately didn't justify the cost. There are simply too many better bubble tea shops at this price point, and I don't see myself returning.

    Before every review, I recheck my photos. I feel irritated that Boba Chew Chew (Walnut) is not…read morehonest nor transparent. Boba Chew Chew (Walnut's) menu says the Strawberry Matcha costs $6.45. My photographed receipt (before toppings and taxes) shows I paid $6.75. I understand that the discrepancy was small (30 cents more), but I rarely see a menu lie about prices. I hope Boba Chew Chew (Walnut) fixes that issue asap. Regarding the drink, the Strawberry Matcha resembles the texture of blended vegetables. It's a chunky, thick drink. Thankfully, the flavors are not unpleasant. This thick drink still flows smoothly, and it has that prominent fresh matcha taste. I also enjoyed the subtle strawberry flavor; it tastes like finely smashed strawberries rather than syrup. In addition, I paid 75 cent to add the mini boba topping. These mini boba are a fun, playful novelty. They're very tiny and squishy like the tiniest marshmallows. One bite and they vanish. I visited Boba Chew Chew (Walnut) on Wednesday (around 8PM). I asked the staff for a "Strawberry Matcha." Staff complied with a smile. Staff is friendly and quick. The drink was complete in one minute and 55 seconds. Fast!! However, Boba Chew Chew (Walnut's) greatest strength is its ambiance. Despite the menu dishonesty and average drink, Boba Chew Chew (Walnut) is beautiful. It's decorated like a themed cafe in Downtown Disney. The location is clean; the upbeat music is pleasant; and the train decor is extremely cute. Boba Chew Chew (Walnut) is lovely to look at. Overall, my experience at Boba Chew Chew (Walnut) was not the best. Thankfully, I enjoyed the charming ambiance and fun mini boba. As of now, Boba Chew Chew (Walnut) is difficult to recommend. 2.5 out of 5

I've been coming here since it used to be Lolicup and then rebranded to Boba boba Chew Chew. Their popcorn chicken has always been my fave! I will make the 45 min drive here from time to time. I love that they have new menu items available and also new specials! It's a cute little IG worthy place located next to Mt. Sac. Not too noisy, average I'd say. And you can take a lot of pictures! My all time fave drink is the matcha cheesecake!
