    There is a parking structure nearby and one thing I must say that they do not make drinks quick. The ambiance is a very chill, calm, and tranquil place. Has a few chairs, tables, and lounge area. They have a sign that says they don't rush making their drinks. If you're in a time crunch, this is not a place for you to go. It took over 20 minutes to get 3 drinks made. The drinks were delicious, but not if you're on a time crunch.

    black milk tea

    I had really high expectations since this place had such high ratings and when you walk in, there's a strong aroma of freshly brewed tea. Boy was I fooled! This was probably the worst black milk tea I've ever had! It was so watered down and diluted. No sweetness at all and no milk or tea flavors either! My boyfriend and i took one sip, gagged, and then took another sip to make sure we weren't trippin. We could not believe what we were tasting! Total sips: 4 before dumping it in the trash. The drinks came out quick though and you order at the kiosk so no need to tip. Thank God we didn't tip because that drink was a disaster. Would not recommend!

    Great place for boba and they are open pretty late. My jasmine milk tea was better than any dessert I could have had after a big dinner at Javier's. Friend who is local is a regular. Clean space. Decent seating. Fun desserts. Very expansive menu.

    Blueberry smoothie

    There's street parking or structure parking nearby to access this location. The inside is fairly pretty with couches to relax. There's a kiosk for ordering. The drinks arrived at a good time. Even when it was busy the drinks didn't take too long. I got the blueberry smoothie and it was pretty good. Good sweetness level and refreshing. I'd try it again.

    Nice simple boba place in Pasadena with a cute interior. They got my order wrong tbh haha but that's alright, it was still decent. You can still taste the tea which is a personal preference for me over a pure sugary drink. Lots of options to choose from!

    what they posted vs what I got.  SOOOO MISLEADING!!!

    I didn't like the tea last time but I liked the boba. So decided to give them another try... and ordered a different drink this time. I ordered the mango fruit cha with green tea. What I got looked nothing like the picture they used. When I asked the staff why my drink looks nothing like their picture... she just shrugged her shoulders.

    Boba was fresh and the place felt spacious. One employee was working but she was fast and courteous.

    Iced Matcha Latte
    Diana L.

    I visited BoBa ChaCha to do some reading - it was really cute spot, quiet and clean. I ordered an iced matcha latte with almond milk - I'm not sure what kind of almond milk they used but it was absolutely delicious. It is on the sweeter side but the matcha and almond flavor mixed really well. Best matcha latte I had in the area!

    A nice boba place! They had very cute decor and were dog friendly. :) The boba was good too. Not too sweet!

    Lavender Milk Cha, Strawberry Cheesecake
    Rachel K.

    Boba ChaCha's strong points are its super cute aesthetics and friendly worker. It has a variety of seating arrangements making it a good setting for duos and medium sized groups. The boba balls were nice and chewy. Unfortunately, the drink itself tasted watered down, possibly due to my alterations. I got a Lavender milk tea with 75% sweetness, 100% ice and soy milk. If you're planning to go maybe order the drinks at 100% sweetness with regular milk and less ice. The strawberry cheesecake had cute plating, but flavor wise was a bit lacking. I'm willing to give them another try in the future, but I'll probably try different menu items next time around.

    My family came to try out a new boba spot in Old Town Pasadena after seeing a BOGO deal online. Chacha is on a busy street with limited street parking and a $5 parking structure close by. The place is cute, feminine decor with both self kiosk ordering and a front cashier. I was surprised to see that they had a green Thai iced tea which I love so I ordered that and my daughter got a jasmine green tea with popping boba. She loved hers, and was excited to see that there were multiple topping optionsfor their drinks. My green Thai tea was okay, had an interesting aftertaste. Overall it's just an okay spot, didn't really stand out but it's worth a try if there's another bogo deal especially if you have to pay for parking.

    Strawberry Slush with Popping Bobq

    Apparently, when you order the popping boba, it is now premixed with the jelly. They do not mention this anywhere, even when ordering at the counter. I confirmed with the gal at the counter that it is not possible to only get the popping boba, you have to get the jelly too. It really ruins the drink.

    25% sweetness: watered down, bland tea & boba--unlike other boba places.
    Aurora L.

    Disappointing experience. I ordered the black milk tea with boba at 25% sweetness, but it tasted watered down with only a faint tea flavor. The boba was also bland and tasteless. When I brought it up, the server said it was due to the 25% sweetness, but I've had flavorful drinks at this level from other boba places. I appreciated the refund, but will not be returning.

    What a charming and quaint coffee shop this Republic Coffee is. With indoor and patio seating... so…read morelovely. Both inside and outside were super clean along with their restrooms. The minute I walked in, the aroma of the coffee and baked goods just organically welcomed me IN! Walked in this morning at 10:15AM, and was greeted by Stephanie. All the people behind the counter were genuinely super nice and friendly, and I am going to leave it at that. Some places can be pretentious and I don't like that. I didn't get that vibe here. Loved it. They have many different options of baked goods, hot and cold beverages, salads, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and more.They also serve wine. Very unique and interesting. Some coffee shops do serve wine. Love wine, but not in the mornings/afternoons:-)). So, she took my order and got everything right. I ordered an Avocado Toast, 2 Blueberry Muffins, and for my drink, got an Ube Latte. Everything tasted above and beyond fresh and delicious. My Ube Latte was made to PERFECTION! Don't know much about their parking situation, but I found street parking right in the front. They also do delivery, and 3rd party orders. My first time, but definitely not the last. Was so pleased with their hospitality. If I didn't happen to be in the area, I probably would have missed this beautiful gem. Glad I saw it and walked in. They have some nice decor inside but I decided to sit on their lovely patio. Thank you everyone, and keep up the good work!

    This review is solely about the coffee. I can't speak to the food…read more Before getting to the coffee, I have to say the ambience is just overwhelming and not relaxing--to me! I love minimalist spaces, and this is the exact opposite. This is probably just my own OCD personality that misses Steve Jobs and his black turtlenecks. The staff, however, is very nice! Okay, now the coffee, which is what my rating is based on. The latte was a small step up from Starbucks and had an odd taste that I couldn't quite place. My wife couldn't finish hers. The drip coffee was barely above lukewarm and just didn't taste good. Again, it was hard to put my finger on exactly what was wrong with it, but it didn't taste particularly fresh. I noticed the bag of beans on the counter was roasted on 6/30 and marked down on clearance. Anyway, it's probably a perfectly fine place if you're not obsessed with excellent black coffee or high-quality espresso drinks. The space is large, there's lots of outdoor seating, and the staff is nice. I just wish I'd known going in that the coffee wasn't very good, so I'm writing this review for the other people out there who are equally insufferable about their coffee.

Once we got to the counter everything was quick because they just pack everything up right away. I ordered the Spinach Feta Croissant ($8.40), Berry Danish ($6.95), and Turkey Ham & Gruyere Croissant ($8.50). The berry danish was cleared out at the front glass but I asked if they had more coming in the back and luckily they did. The other two were ordered from the glass displays. I wouldn't say they're the best croissants I've ever had, but they were still pretty good. Only thing with the ham and cheese croissant was that I cut it in half the short way to share (so you would think both halves would have an even distribution of everything) but all the ham was pushed to one side that their half literally had no ham in it. There were a lot of other things on display that looked really good so when I venture out to this part of town I'll have to come back and give those a try. I definitely recommend coming in early because a lot of things in the front displays were cleared out by the time we got to the front. They do keep making more but it's not a guarantee.
