    My niece treated me to her favorite boba spot before my flight back home Tea Be Honest on Date Palm Drive and as we were pulling up she goes, "Prepare to be amazed." Let me tell you... she did NOT lie. I was instantly impressed by how many different options they had. The menu is stacked with creative flavors, mix-ins, and combinations. It honestly took me a minute to decide because everything sounded so good. I went with the taro tea with classic boba smooth, creamy, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. My niece ordered the Fresh Citrus Blossom Tea with kiwi pop boba, which was bright, refreshing, and fun with that juicy kiwi burst. My sister created her own custom mix: green apple lemon with kiwi pop and crystal boba. It sounds extra and it was but in the best way. Everything we tried was divine. On top of the drinks being amazing, they have a point system for giveaways and specials, which I love because who doesn't appreciate rewards? The customer service was awesome friendly, patient, and genuinely welcoming. If you're in the Cathedral City area, definitely stop by. Whether you're a boba regular or just getting into it, this place will have you saying "prepare to be amazed" too.

    Tasty drinks and great service! I enjoyed both their coffee as well as their Matcha. Service was friendly and fast. Plenty of easy parking and indoor seating. Very clean and well run, great option if you're looking for a refreshing treat in the area!

    Roasted oolong milk tea
    Kristinne B.

    This place is honestly one of my favorites. The boba was fresh and I ordered the roasted oolong milk tea. It was definitely a hit. I also love that you can choose your sugar level. The staff were accommodating and friendly, and they even have board games to play while you're there.

    Dirty and Thai Tea
    Mailani S.

    The teas were awful. We've definitely had better. The boba in both of the drinks was incredibly sweet and overpowering. My Thai tea was watered down and didn't taste particularly good. It wasn't bad but definitely not for us. It's unfortunate that the sizes are so big too because we couldn't finish our drinks and had to throw a lot out.

    Brown sugar milk tea
    Doll T.

    This is honestly one of the worst bubble teas I've ever had. I waited over 5 minutes just to place my order with no acknowledgment, which already showed a lack of basic customer service. The drink was made quickly, but unfortunately tasted very poor and not up to standard at all. Overall, the service and product quality were both disappointing. I won't be coming back.

    There are not too many boba spots in the area. Luckily TBH has 3 locations. More importantly, they offer good tasting, fairly priced, quality drinks with a variety of toppings. The staff is friendly, helpful, and very efficient.

    Vietnamese coffee with crème brûlée
    Stacey O.

    I tried the Vietnamese coffee with crème brûlée. I really enjoyed it! Definitely recommend. Staff recommended and it did not disappoint. Very quick we went at a good time and wasn't busy.

    Sea Salt Coffee (mixed)
    Arren U.

    I went here while on vacation with my family, so I don't know how Tea Be Honest compares to the other boba shops around. But the staff was friendly and got the drinks out fast, but sadly they said they couldn't add milk/creamer to one of my ice blended drinks (we wanted it creamy) The drinks are good, really sweet if 100% tho. I personally got the sea salt coffee and sadly it lacks flavor. No taste of sea salt, just subtle milky coffee, but honestly unoffensive so it's fine.

    Taro Hokkaido with caramel bobba and a strawberry refresher tea. BOMB!

    This place is amazing!My step son can't tolerate lactose, so this place is ideal for his sweet creamy drinks. They're super tasty, and the cups are tall and stylish. You really get a lot for what you pay. I'm honestly impressed with this place. The people here really understand what they're talking about and are truly helpful.

    Love Tea Be Honest

    Late evening craving. Barista was so nice! Made my order accurate and tasty tasty. Good vibes. Saw updated menu. Going to try their new items next time.

    UPDATE (9/15/26)…read more First off, I came here 2 years ago when they first opened. I got their soft serve in the Taiyaki with the Red Bean filling and other toppings and it was wonderful. It was a really good first impression. Also Black Sesame is one of my absolute favorite flavors I always order for any dessert. Now fast forward to now, I'm back here for a visit. When we got inside it wasn't busy at all. Service was friendly and helpful. When I walked inside to see their Taiyaki soft serve options, I was pretty disappointed. They only had three flavors available. And I have to be honest, the flavors didn't interest me. It was just Vanilla, Green Tea, and I think Chocolate? Maybe a Mango flavor too which seemed seasonal. I'm sure they were good but the ice cream section had flavors I wish were soft serve like Black Sesame and a milk tea one. We ended up getting their ice cream instead because they had a larger assortment of flavors. And when I tried the sample, the flavor was decent. Two years ago, my 5/5 stars was for my Taiyaki experience. Now it's 3/5 stars for the ice cream. I got the Black Sesame and Coffee ice cream scoops with the waffle cone. Flavor was there, the waffle cone was good, but the ice cream didn't blow me away by any means. I wish this place had more variety for their soft serve because it's worth the money for me. Most of my disappointment came from that I'd probably never have the Black Sesame soft serve Taiyaki again from here because I only had it that one time, and also there weren't any appealing flavors for the soft serve I would've been excited to try instead. I would not come back here for their regular ice cream, I'd just spend my money somewhere else.

Thankfully tea shops have become more regular here in the otherwise asian treat deprived desert. Chakaa Tea Shoppe is located at "The River" which is a small outdoor shopping spot situated around a manmade 'river'. The location used to be a starbucks and is perfectly set up for a tea shop to take up residence. Now for the honest, the tea is about average, I do appreciate the ample ordering options of non dairy milks. This time I ended up getting a coffee with boba as my treat vs my normal tea order. The staff is always super friendly and helpful if you have any questions. The boba was also VERY good and well made vs some places that provided under cooked or over cooked boba. A coffee with boba and a small tip ran me up almost $10 which is a little expensive for my taste but it IS a treat after all and not an every day buy. Of all the times I've come into this location they always seem to be warm inside and prefer to not run the AC. I tend to sweat a little bit which is a bit of a drag considering that they have tons of seating. I probably wouldn't drive to the river JUST for boba but if I'm in the area shopping in need of a pick me up to go this would be a good stop.

But after my experience, I think it was best that I stayed away for a while. I came here with a friend and we had a popcorn chicken to share while we had our own poke bowls. I'm going to be completely honest and transparent, but we were disappointed at the portion size. The popcorn chicken was good, they brought it out and it tasted crispy and flavorful. And how much was it? $10. Imagine ten dollars for about 7 small pieces. Never in my years of dining out have I ever felt so robbed. I would pay $6 for this portion size. It was good but $10 quality good? Highway robbery. I've never felt so betrayed by my hometown like this before, everywhere else I liked and had no problem. We got our bowls and we both looked at our tiny pieces of fish in it. We could count them on our fingers. I had about ten small pieces of fish per 3 fish (tuna, salmon, yellowtail). It's funny because I was thinking as I was ordering "3 proteins in a bowl?? What a steal". Little did I know, it wasn't a steal but the exact opposite. A robbery. Actually a steal for them probably, but not me as the paying customer. I was contemplating about giving them four stars because everything tasted good for all our dishes, but four stars mean I'd come back again. I would absolutely not come back because I'd rather go to the Poke chains in the desert because they're priced reasonably and they give more. Also at first I was interested in their Chicken Katsu but there's another Chicken Katsu plate lunch in the valley that has an amazing portion size and tastes delicious. I have no reason to come back here. I wouldn't go back to place I paid over $30 dollars at that was stingy with their portions. This is my first time feeling disappointed for the experience and for what I paid. 3 stars because food tasted good, but I have nothing else to say. I've tried the other poke chains in the desert, and this place is ranked last for best portion to price ratio. I can't speak for anything else on the menu but I just don't understand having "Poke" in the restaurant name and sprinkling the protein like a garnish rather than for what it is. It boggles my mind.
