Cha For Tea - Irvine

Over a decade I've been going here. Freshest boba ever. When did you last have a drink that was cold and warm in perfect balance. Only here

We have been coming to Cha For Tea For years. Not only are their drinks delicious, but so is their food! They have good boba here too. Some places the boba isn't good,but here it's delicious. And if you don't like your drinks too sweet just tell them to adjust the sweetness. The employees are always nice too so that's a plus!

Service is as fast as it can be for the crazy UTC center. The place is a vibe, overall nostalgic if you went to school in the area, this was THE spot to hang out at. Their mango boba, royal milk, and almond milk tea are all delicious and I get these consistently on rotation. I get everything half sweet since I'm not a fan of how sweet these drinks are, but their boba is always warm and fresh. The drinks are refreshing and don't dissapoint, the milk tea served hot is even delicious. Their popcorn chicken is a nice spicy with some tangy dipping sauce and I def recommend it for those with moderate heat tolerance...

One star is taken off because the cashier talks really fast, and her words blend together.. then she acts annoyed that she has to repeat herself. The ordering experience could be better. However, the asian guy with the bleached hair is in the back DOING WORKKK. He's quick, focused, and hard working. My order came out so fast. Food and drink were good. I used to come here when I was in college all the time, still just as good.

This spot is okay, but it is almost always crowded and they take a while to prepare the drinks. The interior is nice, and the drinks are okay, but the wait times worsen the experience. Also, their menu is much more limited than some of the other places around Irvine.
