Boba in this economy?! I know... I'm supposed to be saving money but sometimes a good boba splurge…read moreis needed and Chakaa Tea Shoppe was my stop of the day. Thankfully tea shops have become more regular here in the otherwise asian treat deprived desert. Chakaa Tea Shoppe is located at "The River" which is a small outdoor shopping spot situated around a manmade 'river'. The location used to be a starbucks and is perfectly set up for a tea shop to take up residence. Now for the honest, the tea is about average, I do appreciate the ample ordering options of non dairy milks. This time I ended up getting a coffee with boba as my treat vs my normal tea order. The staff is always super friendly and helpful if you have any questions. The boba was also VERY good and well made vs some places that provided under cooked or over cooked boba. A coffee with boba and a small tip ran me up almost $10 which is a little expensive for my taste but it IS a treat after all and not an every day buy. Of all the times I've come into this location they always seem to be warm inside and prefer to not run the AC. I tend to sweat a little bit which is a bit of a drag considering that they have tons of seating. I probably wouldn't drive to the river JUST for boba but if I'm in the area shopping in need of a pick me up to go this would be a good stop.

We got half peach sorbet and half espresso. The peach sorbet was definitely my favorite. It had a really fresh peach flavor and was refreshing without being too sweet. The espresso was good too. You could taste the coffee, but as someone who loves espresso, I just wanted the flavor to be a little stronger. Service was quick and friendly. The guy working there was attentive and got us taken care of without any issues. Overall, it was a great spot for gelato. I would definitely come back, especially for the peach sorbet.

Coffee was a bit sweet for my taste - they use Monin syrups. Similar to Dutch bros imo. Note no 12oz iced option available This location is small and roadside, less scenic than the other locations. No outlets inside. Solid free WiFi. Restroom available. Parking lot available. Service was friendly! They offered the customer in front of me iced tea samples to help her order.

This coffee is shockingly so good for being in a mall. My expectations were low but my coffee…read morecraving was so strong that I drove to the mall just for the coffee. They have a pretty creative menu with a lot of unique syrups and drink concoctions so it made it hard for me to choose. I asked the worker for her recommendations and she kindly explained the menu to me. I was sold when I heard about the cafe de olla being made in-house and fresh at that -- she pointed to the vat right behind her. So, I got the iced cafe de olla latte and it was the perfect sweetness with hints of spice that added flavor to the coffee. I would order this again and wanted to come back here the same day. There was no line when I went but they was a line forming when I was leaving. There's no seating area so it's more of a grab-and-go place.

It was one of those mornings where you need caffeine before the world officially wakes up. I rolled…read moreinto the mall around 10:40 a.m., knowing the shops inside didn't open until 11. The funny thing? While the retail was still shuttered, the cafés and entertainment spots were already buzzing. That contrast -- empty storefronts on one side, the smell of fresh coffee on the other -- gave the whole place a quiet but inviting vibe. I walked into Xanti's and ordered two drinks: a strong macchiato (because sometimes you just need that punch) and a hot lavender matcha for balance. Total was $11.25, which felt more than fair. I tried paying with a $100 bill, but the barista politely explained they couldn't take it. No stress, no attitude -- just professional and smooth. Service really stood out here. The barista, a friendly guy with calm energy, not only took the order but noticed I'd settled into my phone at the table. A couple of minutes later, he personally brought both drinks over. That simple gesture made the experience feel way more personal than you'd expect from a mall coffee stop. As for the drinks? The macchiato was bold, clean, and exactly the kind of kick I needed. The lavender matcha surprised me -- creamy, floral, not too sweet, just enough to feel like a treat. Together, they struck a perfect balance: one to wake me up, one to slow me down. So yeah, it's technically "just" a coffee spot in a mall, but don't let that fool you. Between the timing, the vibe, and the barista's extra touch, it was one of those experiences that sticks.

I enjoyed a guava tea pastry and a small Pandan Latte. I also took with me the Adobo Pan de Sal which was delicious. I will definitely frequent this coffee shop. The music added to the vibes. There's ample parking in front, but there is not a restroom inside. It's a very small shop. They have 5-6 two-seater tables and an ate in the back that can seat maybe 3-4. I recommend giving this place a try.
