What customers say?

“ Super cute boba shop in Pasadena with comfy and fresh vibes. Good place to hang out and do some work. Order at the counter instead of the kiosk for deals when they have them. Wasn't in love with my taro milk tea (tasted kind of artificial), but the fruit tea my friend had was very tasty. Probably need to experiment more with the menu. Overall a solid choice. ”

“ Very nicely decorated place with beautiful jazz music playing. I gave it 4 stars because prices are very high for just a drink. And we waited about 15min when there was only one other person in there. If I am paying that much for a drink (it was $9), I would think it would also be ready faster! I ordered a hojicha with crystal boba&pudding. And because I am lactose sensitive, I needed almond milk. Who knew that would make the total come out to almost $10! It was good but honestly not worth that much money. I could buy two drinks at that price elsewhere. ”

“ The deals are incredible, but make sure to order at the counter! They have a free size upgrade on Tuesdays, and they have a promotion where you can get a refill of the exact same drink for 50% off. The boba is good and they give generous portions of the toppings. This is a cute place to get some work done, as the WiFi is super fast, and there’s plenty of seating. If you come on a weekday, street parking is available, and you can pay via the parking passport app. I’m so glad I discovered this place and recommend stopping in for a drink and/or snack. ”

“ The best boba I’ve ever had. So fresh… not much to really say other than it’s really really good boba. A must try, hands down. I got Thai tea. ”

- Lessy Field -

“ I went here yesterday with my mom, uncle and aunt. I got the jasmine green milk with 25% sweetness and crystal boba. I thought it was okay. I also ordered a s’mores bar. The two didn’t mix so I should’ve just stuck to the drink. I loved the s’mores bar, I haven’t seen them in any restaurant I’ve been to. ”

- Joshua Ong -

“ Love that they have actual fresh fruit toppings (lychee, strawberry, etc.) not only jellies or boba. Their drinks are on the less sweet side, so bump up the sweetness. I usually get 50% at other places but I do 100% here. ”

- Zuhayr -

“ I am not a fan of boba but there are a few places that can change me. Boba ChaCha is one of them. I think the key feature is the boba itself. The bubbles need to be well flavored, soft and chewy, not hard and rubber-like. Boba ChaCha knows how to make this right! Another drink that amazes me is the Milo drink. Of course it is sweet but it is so thick and densely satisfying. I come to learn the story of the shop and I was floored by how hard working and the positive thinking the owner is. So I am so happy to enjoy food and support her business as well. Please come and enjoy! ”

“ Nice place definitely try their boba it was very fresh and yummy. I got Taro Milk tea with boba, 50% ice and 50% sweet. The sweetness was just great. It had a bit too much milk. But all their drinks were tasty and high quality. They also put a lot of toppings which is so sweet But they don’t have a toilet ”
