Yummy drink with a cute aesthetic!…read more We went last night on a Saturday night to try out this cute place and the drink is nice. The Metal Buddha Oolong Milk Tea has a nice roasted and nutty flavor and when you have Osmanthus Oolong Tea jelly you have a blend of floral and fruity taste. 8/10 Staff is friendly and we got our drinks pretty quick. Although there are no seating and the place is more like an order and go type of place. It's also in a plaza parking lot so it's easy to find parking.

My favorite place to get boba!!…read more Highly recommend: - for something refreshing get Passionfruit Green Tea (25% or 50%) or Mango Yogurt Smoothie - Milk tea fans that loves the stronger tea flavor get Jasmine milk tea (75% or 100%) or Osmanthus Oolong milk tea (75% or 100%) or Metal Buddha milk tea (75% or 100%)

Literally the perfect amount of sweetness and the matcha flavor is phenomenal. It is made so well so the hype is real for this place. Also the color of the matcha is so beautiful.   I came on a sunday around 3pm and the line was kind of long but went by quickly. I ordered my drink and waited less than 10 minutes. My friends got the matcha ube and matcha blueberry and they were all good. The ube flavor is not too strong but just enough to taste it. The blueberry matcha was on the sweeter side but that may be from the blueberry flavoring. I wish we had one in norcal and hope they expand here. For now I am happy that we have Da Vien. Also plenty of parking in this plaza which is great!

I love when a place can take a request and take it seriously! Because I asked for an extra extra…read moreextra sweet matcha einspanner and they DELIVERED! I love a really sweet drink, and this was just that. The wait was a little bit long because this is a really popular location now (sometimes there are people lined up outside). But luckily, there's so much parking available and the line does move pretty quick. The inside has a few tables, but definitely not enough for a really large group!

The boba here is the perfect texture. My sister and I got the Thai tea and it was delicious!read more

Great boba spot tucked away in the corner of a plaza!…read more The lady helping us was super sweet and made the drinks very fast. She said the caramel and brown sugar milk teas were most popular, so we got those. They were delicious, 50-75% sweet was perfect. We also got the passionfruit guava green tea which was very refreshing. Highly recommend!

I'm at a phase in life where I'm obsessed with Matcha tonic drinks. When I saw that this shop…read moreoffered Yuzu Matcha tonic, I was sold. I love that this place has a kiosk where you can order or you can order at the front with the cashier. Lots of yummy drinks to choose from in the inside is very aesthetically pleasing. My drink was exactly what I wanted it to be citrusy Matcha bubbly it was perfect. For some reason, parking in this lot was really difficult although it is a large lot. A lot of the spaces were filled up. I think it's because it's next to Plums Café and I saw a lot of people eating over there but other than that, this is a solid coffee shop.

The pink coconut matcha felt like your classic coconut matcha, so if you're into that, that was also delicious!! Ambiance: There are nice tables with white sofas and stools (maybe this was moon inspired haha) and seemed like a great place to study or chill with friends! Service: The service was good, and the drinks come out in five to ten minutes. Overall, a nice hangout place, and please order the strawberry pistachio matcha, and thank me later!!

It definitely was not what I was expecting. A messy little cafe tucked away in the corner of a…read moreWestminster plaza with eclectic decor and a bunch of furniture and supplies laying about. A (coffee?) stained curtain. Cafe employees watching Netflix after they serve you. I'm genuinely convinced this is intentional, It reminds me of a simpler time like going over to a friend's place and hanging out in their living room. I had a matcha affogato and my partner had an immortality tea. Both delicious and served with a genuine smile. Definitely a different experience and I'm grateful for it. 5/5 this place is based.

7/10 Chrysanthemum Milk Tea - I didn't like this drink at all. My friend ordered two of these and…read moreone of the lids was literally ripped. The employee knew it too. She actually said, "Oh sorry, the lid isn't closed all the way. I tried to seal it twice but it wasn't working. I hope that's okay." It's definitely not okay when we have no other choice in the matter! Aside from the messy packaging, the drink was way too bitter. I really wasn't a fan. 1/10 Vibes - I want to touch on what the inside of the business looks like because... wow, it was jarring. It felt like I walked into some dude's basement. Mismatched curtains everywhere, 2 fish tanks that were straight up brown and green and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a yr, and sus couches just scattered around for no reason. There were cat treats sitting out too which was confusing because apparently there's a cat there?? There were like, 12 dudes sitting there and all watching whatever anima thing was playing on the tv. Absolutely not my vibe at all, but clearly it's catering to a very specific demographic. Cost - $7.65

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Aiyu Cha mostly on an impromptu date, and I can say that I enjoyed…read morethe boba cafe very much! Their costs are on the pricier side for boba, especially in Westmin where I feel like there are a lot of options for boba, but the service was very lovely and the drinks were yummy. The interior was what really wowed me though. They have a lot of bunny themed decor, and a lot of really beautiful wood grain items to decorate. Aiyu Cha is also located conveniently inside of a grander shopping plaza, so we got our boba and walked around (there's a Daiso and H-Mart nearby, as well). I got their peach green tea with boba, and my boyfriend got their tiramisu milk tea with boba. Again, no complaints on the flavor or anything, it was just on the pricier side of milk teas/teas that I'm usually comfortable paying for. That being said, I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area!

It was very quiet inside and I wish they would've played music; if the music was on, we couldn't hear it. Our drinks were ready quickly, which was nice, and the boba was good! Wouldn't mind coming here again but maybe for pick up only. I recommend this boba shop, but be prepared to sit in silence if you decide to stay and enjoy your drink(s).

First thing I noticed when walking into Bako Tea House was the display of tea leaves on the counter…read morecharacterizing the types of roast and flavor notes associated with each one. Coupled with the faint smell of tea in the store, and you know that you're going to get an authentic experience. Store is very clean inside and the decor reminds you of being in a tea house. There's only about 3-4 tables inside, so not too many places to sit if it gets busy. You can order through a kiosk or in person, and the service is usually pretty timely. I ordered the Roasted Oolong tea latte and the Phoenix Oolong tea latte, both of which are their more popular drink selection. I usually try to get the lowest sugar level which was 10%. Of all the tea places I've tried, these drinks easily had the strongest tea flavor at that level of sweetness. If you're not use to the bitterness from tea, you might elect to select a higher level of sweetness to balance it out. The oat milk has a very subtle flavor, but also doesn't overwhelm the drink. Either way, I thought both drinks were well-made.

Very high quality of tea! Never heard of Bako Tea before, but my friend who recently visited OC…read moreasking me if I wanted to get a cup. For sure I couldn't say NO to such appealing offer. Couldn't comment much on the venue as I wasn't there. I did highly appreciate how customizable the drinks could be, beyond just tailoring the sweetness and ice level to my preference, I could even choose if I wanna go heavy on tea or heavy on milk. Obviously I went for the prior as I loved my milk tea being bolder on the tea flavor. I got the Roasted Oolong Tea Latte with whole milk at 75% sweetness level and heavy tea and I really really enjoyed it. The sweetness was just right, the tea flavor stood strong and I could tell how good the tea quality was in every sip, very fragrant and aromatic. Would obviously go for more next time and tried more from their selections. I've been eyeing on their Wintermelon Tea Latte!!
