We enjoyed Sunday lunch at Cha Community. This is one of the few places with authentic, delicious Asian food in Waco. My girls want to go back and have double the portions because they enjoyed it so much. The Taro Milk Tea wasn't purple, so we were surprised at first (because almost all the other taro milk teas are artificially colored purple). My wife and I enjoyed the taste and how customizable the drinks are. The space is warm and conducive to conversation. There are also books and games that kids could enjoy while the adults converse. We highly recommend Cha Community!

Honestly an awesome place to eat or hang out! 4 stars on food as I found the dumplings to be a little salty; but, I would get them again so wasn't too bad! Service is normally 10/10, however you sometimes get someone who seems like they'd rather not be there and it kinda ruins the vibe of a community that they're going forFood: 4/5

I had a delightful matcha latte at this cozy spot, which offers plenty of space to work or meet up with friends. The menu is extensive, and I recommend parking on the street, as the grill next door has a strict towing policy.

The boba and food are consistently excellent. I particularly enjoy the Milky Way tea and the pan-fried dumplings. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly. Food rating: 5/5.
