The decor is clean, modern, and warm, making it a great place to study or just hang out with friends. I especially liked the kiosk ordering system--quick, efficient, and no pressure while deciding. The drink packaging is honestly next level. It feels premium and thoughtful, not just another basic cup. You can tell they care about presentation just as much as taste. And the drinks themselves? Smooth, refreshing, and high quality. Service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and fast without feeling rushed. The space was spotless, including the bathroom, which is always a big plus for me. Overall, this place nails atmosphere, quality, and convenience. I'll definitely be coming back regularly. Highly recommend if you want a chill, aesthetic tea spot.

After a few visits, the drink I'm hooked on is the Taro Milk tea + taro paste + taro balls. It's just so loaded with taro and it tastes like taro rather than taro "flavoring". Drink after drink, it's easy to see what this tea shop has won so many awards. Plus, their cup carrier is super cute, eco and creative! I almost wish this place wasn't so good because they're pricy and addicting!

There's some indoor seating (5 tables). I ordered their Velvet Lychee Milk Tea w/ tea jelly ($7.50) and it was really good!

I had a lot of questions and they sweetly answered them before I did my order. You order online or on the screens in the store. Pretty self explanatory and easy. There are just a few places to sit inside, so probably want to get it to go. I ordered this heavenly mango/grapefruit concoction with pearls. 15/10. It was so hard to choose what to order because everything looked so delicious and refreshing. My drink was ready in less than 10 minutes. I definitely want to come back and try some different drinks!

Tried a few more drinks at Yi Fang:…read more Multi-floral honey mountain tea, 50 sweet no ice, large: The drink was done in about half the time that was estimated (Snackpass estimated 15 minutes, but it was done in 7). It was barely sweet, 50% is the lowest sweetness you can set for this drink. I was disappointed by this one as I felt the tea and floral flavors could've been stronger, it really just tasted of honey. Large chocoberry bliss, warm, 50 sweet (which was the recommended sweetness): It's a non caffeinated drink and can only be hot or warm. It tastes of dark chocolate with strawberry. It reminded me of hot chocolate but with a strawberry milk flavor, I liked it and would recommend trying it when it's in season if you enjoy sweets and chocolate in particular. Cheese creamer black tea, no ice, 0% sweetness, large cold: The tea is truly bitter when at 0% sweetness, which is what I intended. A generous thick amount of creamer on top. It doesn't mix easily with the tea. Note that on Snackpass, they add another $0.25 onto the price of your drink for "city cup fee" - referring to City of Berkeley's fee charged for plastic drink cups. I have found they're usually pretty fast at making the drinks and they may be done earlier than what Snackpass estimates. Sometimes you may need to get the attention of one of the workers as they can be occupied working and aren't always at the counter looking at you.

There were no customers, we just watched her wash a ton of dishes for 10 minutes before starting on our drinks. I got the avocado smoothie, which came with a sweetness level request. 100% was recommended, so I picked that. I watched her literally just put milk, avocado, and ice into a blender. No sweetener such as condensed milk like I expected. As expected, there was absolutely no sweetness in the drink, just milky avocado slush. My husband got a house milk tea with boba, and it was extremely flavorless. Tasted really sweet, but you couldn't really taste the tea at all. Honey boba wasn't bad, not the worst we've tried. Overall, considering there are tons of other boba shops in Berkeley, we definitely will not be back.

I absolutely, truly love this place. I got their mango sago drink and mango mochi, and both were…read moresuper high-quality, they did not skimp with any of the mango pulp or mango fruit pieces in the drink and it was so absolutely delicious. It tasted super fresh and was made with care and attention. The mango mochi were soft pillowy pieces of thin crepe skin filled with cream with a little bit of mango in the center. It was barely sweet, which is the Chinese way and I absolutely love that. I think its super rare to find a quality drink shop where the drink and snacks quality are so high when it comes to mango. I think a lot of boba places in the Bay Area use still raw, unripe mango pieces and also dilute their mango drinks with tons of ice and still charge premium prices for them for little pieces of mango, but here they do not skimp on quality or quantity, while maintaining affordable prices. The quality is so high and the prices are so affordable for what they provide. So absolutely delicious, I will be back here as often as I can.

Smooth Hong Kong milk tea in a cozy tea-focused café…read more Stopped by Asha Tea House in Berkeley and ordered the Hong Kong milk tea. The milk tea was smooth, rich, and well-balanced with a strong tea flavor that wasn't overwhelmed by sweetness. I appreciated that it tasted like real brewed tea rather than a sugary milk drink. It had that classic silky texture and bold tea aroma that makes Hong Kong milk tea so satisfying. Service was friendly and efficient, and the staff were happy to answer questions about the menu and tea options. The vibe is calm, cozy, and welcoming. It's a great place to relax, study, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a quality cup of tea. The minimalist space and focus on tea make it feel different from a typical boba shop. Overall, a great stop for tea lovers looking for something beyond standard milk tea. I'd definitely come back to try more of their specialty tea drinks.

The interior is very clean, modern, and bright, definitely gives off a nice "pick-me-up" vibe. There are a few limited tables, but still had a good amount of seating options. The staff were fast and friendly, which was great since there was no rush. For ordering, I recommend entering from the back, where you can easily order from the kiosk. Then, head to the other side to pick up your order at the window. Make sure to have your order number and receipt ready to show them! I ordered the King Guava Jasmine. It was pretty tasty and definitely lived up to the hype! As a big fan of guava, I enjoyed the flavor, though I would say it was more on the citrusy side than sweet, which I personally liked. The highlight of the drink was definitely the cream at the top - so good! My only minor notes are that it's slightly pricey, and they have limited non-dairy options. But overall, it was a great experience, and I love their drinks! I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Was trying to avoid Thai food since it's everywhere BUT DON'T EVER MISS OUT ON THAI DESSERTS!!!…read moreWanted to try out this place before and SO GLAD I DID because it didn't disappoint! The store was lovely (love the decor, many cute/photogenic corner & plenty of space/high ceiling) and the server that day was really nice (actually speaks Thai!). The orders were just... fantastic! Double float was actually not sweet (ice cream paired really well with the toast. Pangcha could be a bit too sweet but mixing it well might work with the included toast. The actual pandan toast was well-portioned. They sell plenty of Thai snack too! But overall it's actually Cha Thai (Thai tea) because the flavor was distinctive and properly made, not just industrial or too sweet like the common Thai tea you may find out there!

I've tried their original types of Thai tea as well as their sesame Thai tea. There was one with Thai tea ice cream on top of Thai tea that was really tempting, so I'll probably get that next time. There are also fruit ones too, so maybe I'll try that next next time. The space here is pretty nice. Several tables so people can sit and chat or study. Those I spoke with here were friendly. I asked how sweet the drinks are, and was told there wasn't much of a difference between half sweet and default sweetness, but they can do adjustments such as 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% or something, but there really wasn't much of a difference. It was still just a tad too sweet for me, but others said it was really great for them.
