Summer has definitely shown up during the last few days of July with a heatwave upon us with the…read moresun coming out. The weather heats up there is nothing more essential to refresh by grabbing a beverage on ice. There are many places to grab something to clinch your thirst. Nothing is better on a sunny day as grabbing a bubble tea. There is a place which professionally provides all kinds of flavors of drinks from Taiwan and it's called Taiwan Professional Tea. On another Summer stroll in Telegraph I landed at Taiwan Professional Tea. Inside there is some seating and the party people order on a kiosk. They have lots of drinks not too sweet and some are sour like lemonade like some on my social media feed. They also have matcha for Don Juan de la Matcha . I got the Mango Passion Smoothie . It was not too sweet and it had lots of flavor and hit the spot . A good place to grab a drink rain or shine because the drinks are Type A ( Taipei). Last day of the month and it's "gone" now every social media feed for the end of July photo dump is what is going "on" but this place has tasty tea drinks which has a second name professional and first name "Taiwan" and they also have matcha for the "Don Juan" This place is the place during a heatwave is the answer and that is "unquestionable"they have drinks with fruits and not a "vegetable"when it comes to matcha leave it to the "professional" because Don Juan de la Matcha is nothing "correctable"

I got the spanish latte with oat milk and less sugar. However, it was still insanely sweet and…read morebasically undrinkable without diluting it somehow. Also, the coffee flavor could be stronger, as you can probably tell from the photo, the color is lighter than I would have liked. Additionally, oat milk was an extra $1 but most egregious was the additional $1 in taxes and fees, making my $6 drink turn into $8. You order on a kiosk, and inside there are a few stools but not the best for sitting or studying. I would be willing to come back to try other drinks but beware of the sweetness levels.

I almost don't want to write such a glowing review so i can keep the space for myself but it's so good i can't help it. The owner hands you your order usually without having to call your name, and it feels so personal, reminding you there's a real person in the kitchen, and running the store! The atmosphere is great and its always peaceful and well lit and their outdoor seating is a nice bonus in the shade. I haven't been able to use their guest wifi, but that might not be for customers. That's my only complaint! But everything about this place is fantastic and i don't think i'll find a better place! When classes get tough i always think about how ill get J's snacks after and it keeps me going

Lo and behold, my friend was gate keeping Mr Green Bubble! With so much excite we enter the establishment and we see the kiosks. My friend places her order in like 1.5 seconds and I look at her and she's like "oh I know what I want". So I'm looking at the menu and I'm like whoa, matcha something something with boba and popcorn chicken. Done and done. Less than 5 mins later our order comes out and I'm like. Wait what? I don't have to wait 30 mins like in the city? Nope. Instant gratification! The boba was so fresh, like literally just made. And the popcorn chicken -- noms. I'm sure there's MSG because it "makes shxt good"! I'm a happy camper and I'll be coming here more often. Quick, easy, clean, and satisfying. Thanks!

I moved to Berkeley about a month ago, and Asha quickly became one of my go-to spots for matcha. I…read morelove the vibe and decor of the cafe, the baristas have always been sweet and friendly, and the menu has a great selection. I especially appreciate that they have genmaicha, which can be harder to find. Their version has a distinct roasted tea flavor that doesn't taste watered down, which I love. Their strawberry matcha is also delicious, with a fresher, juicier strawberry flavor than a lot of other spots. I would honestly give this location 5 stars based on the drinks and regular barista interactions alone, but my last experience was really off-putting. I noticed that people often study there with laptops, so I came in with mine and brought a small lunch from Oori down the street to make a morning out of it. I've done this before without issue, but this time, a woman with crazy eyes who seemed to have a higher role came out and very abruptly scolded me, saying, "You CAN'T eat outside food here," while aggressively pointing toward the door as if I needed to leave immediately. I completely understand having a no-outside-food policy, and I would have had no problem following it if it had been communicated respectfully. But the way she approached me felt unnecessarily harsh and honestly pretty upsetting. I apologized right away, packed everything up in a panic, and left. After processing it, I realized how inappropriate the interaction felt for something that could have been addressed with a simple, polite reminder. Overall, Asha has great matcha, a cute space, and friendly baristas, but that experience really left a bad taste in my mouth. Just a heads up: the drinks are good, but you may want to be careful about bringing outside food in, because the policy might be enforced in a pretty unpleasant way.
