    I've been coming here since it was previously known as Boba Time - vs BT Cafe. They've made the outside patio area in the side a nice place to hang out - weather permitting. Inside is a nice seating area too, but it's smaller than the outside area and it can get busy. Their drinks have always been very good and well made. Our go to is the red bean smoothie - nicely blended and good flavor. Sweet but not sugary. This place used to be a 4-5 star place for me, but lately it's been taking longer to get my drinks made. Last time we were here it took about 20 minutes for our drinks to be made. Also, the sizing of their cups are smaller than what we used to receive. We still go occasionally to get their red bean shake, but unfortunately not as often as previously.

    *Note: TDLR at the end of the review Chai Latte: 6/10 Got it hot. It's whatever. Kills my itch, but it's definitely more on the milkier side. Spice isn't very strong at all and there's a very subtle sweetness. Service: 9/10 Every employee I've ever encountered here is super nice and prompt. They bring you your drink if you don't hear them or if you're out on the patio. Ambiance: 10/10 Super duper cozy. There's couches and a variety of tables inside with lots of natural and yellow lighting. Music varies time to time, but it's nothing crazy. It's always something on the calmer side. It's pretty warm if you're inside. There's an outdoor patio area and it's very cute and spacious! There's a couple heaters as well. It usually gets more crowded towards the evening = gets noisy. There are outlets inside and on the patio, but not everywhere so be selective of where you sit. Parking lot is small, but never found it hard to find a spot even when it was crowded. TDLR: 100% on the pricier side, but if you don't mind, it's a super cozy place to study or socialize. The ades are pricey, but tastes good and a good option for caffeinated drinks. Chai latte is mid. Sweet potato latte is pretty good. Inside area is warm, patio can get cold even with warmers. I've always found parking. Wifi and outlets available, but not everywhere.

    Met my gf here for a nice talk. The ambiance was so nice! I loved the comfy sitting areas. The shaved iced we shared was good, could have been better-- didn't taste as fresh as I would have preferred.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 This place has easy parking, nice indoor and outdoor seating area. Very cozy and relax. Ordered strawberry yogurt drink from popular drinks and I was surprised it cost over $8. This is my most expensive drink so far. Taste was good but I can't justify myself spending this much for a drink. The store was busy regardless of the price. Maybe I ordered the expensive one out of their menu. It would be nice to have prices for their drinks. I don't see myself coming here regularly but it is a nice place to hang out.

    Shaved ice Large $24.00

    Cool chill spot for a good boba, matcha or simply a nice hot tea. The place was very packed and good vibes all around. The staff was kind and welcoming. We also ordered a large shaved ice. I thought a little pricey for the dish at $24.00 but it was refreshing and more than enough for about 3 people, we probably could have ordered a small. The dish comes with mochi, fresh fruit, ice cream scoops, corn flakes, red beans and fruity Pebbles. I thought an interesting combo but overall it all meshed well. Must try

    I love the greenery in the outside part of the cafe and I love that the service was good

    Passion fruit Ade

    From the outside, it doesn't look like much--but step in, and you're instantly welcomed by a cozy interior and soft, calming music that's perfect for studying or working. It's rare to find places with this much space; there are tables for both small groups and larger ones of up to 7-8 people, plus comfortable seating throughout. There's even more seating outside, which has become popular now that the weather's warming up--perfect for soaking in some sun while you work or relax. They do serve food, though I didn't try any this time. I went for the passion fruit ade, and honestly, I'd get it again. That one drink alone convinced me the rest of their drink menu is probably worth exploring. Though it did seem like their boba was popular too. Overall, it's a great spot for productivity with a solid drink menu and food options if you need them. Service was welcoming and quick, and I'd give it a solid 4--mainly because I haven't sampled the food yet.

    Ramen

    I came here because I was looking for a place to study and have a meal at the same time. I saw they served food and thought 'ok!' I hade a strawberry matcha tea that was actually amazing 10/10. I ordered the ramen as well and was expecting a little more than top ramen and hot dogs (for $9?!) they called it "sausages" but I know Oscar Meyer when I taste it. Otherwise service is good. The vibes are vibey. I'd come back for the drinks and ambience.

    Quality has gone down significantly ever since they changed their menu. None of the drinks taste the same anymore & I found plastic in my drink. I want the old cafe bt back.

    Matcha lovers, this one is worth the stop…read more I visited Chayan not too long after they opened, and this was such a good find in Rowland Heights. First of all, the space itself is beautiful. The traditional Chinese-inspired aesthetic gives the shop such an elegant, calm atmosphere. It isn't overly flashy or trying too hard to be trendy--it just feels peaceful and thoughtfully put together. Definitely the kind of place where you can slow down and actually enjoy your tea. But let's talk about the reason I came here: the Matcha Green Tea Frappe. SO. GOOD. What immediately stood out to me was that this didn't taste like one of those drinks where the actual matcha gets completely buried underneath sugar. You can genuinely taste the matcha and the quality of the tea. It has that distinct matcha flavor while still being creamy and enjoyable. And the topping?! Instead of just throwing regular whipped cream on it, they top it with whipped matcha and roasted peanuts, which gives it this really interesting combination of creamy, earthy, nutty flavors. The peanuts add a little texture and complement the matcha surprisingly well. It tasted intentional rather than just sweet for the sake of being sweet. That's probably my biggest recommendation before coming here: if you're looking for an extremely sugary, dessert-style matcha, this may not be what you're looking for. This is much more about actually tasting the tea. If you want something loaded with sugar where the matcha disappears somewhere in the background... Starbucks is right there. But if you appreciate a more balanced drink where you can actually taste good-quality matcha, I absolutely recommend giving Chayan a try. Beautiful atmosphere, quality tea, unique flavors, and an overall really relaxing experience. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu.

    4/5 For some of you…read morewho might not know, CHAYAN is: * Chayan -- a UK / London-born tea brand * Origin: London, United Kingdom, originally known as Tastetea * Specialty: Modern-style Chinese tea, frappes, and "chappuccinos" topped with cream and nuts * The brand has also expanded internationally, including locations in Canada such as British Columbia. LOCATION & PARKING This CHAYAN is located inside Pacific Plaza on Colima Rd. The parking lot is shared with the other businesses in the plaza, and it's not very big, so parking can sometimes be a little limited. The shop is on the ground level, right next to the stairs that lead up to the second floor. ORDERING & ATMOSPHERE Once you walk into the store, there are two self-order kiosks on the left where you can place your own order. You can also walk straight to the counter and have one of the staff members help you. The staff members I interacted with were nice and friendly. Usually, there aren't too many customers inside, so the atmosphere tends to be pretty quiet and relaxing. PEACH OOLONG MILK TEA I've visited this place twice. The first time, I ordered the Peach Oolong Milk Tea with their chestnut boba--or whatever their specialty topping is called. Sorry, I forgot the exact name, but it's definitely not the regular black boba. The drink was pretty good. It wasn't overly sweet, and I liked how the peach flavor blended nicely with the tea. You could still taste the tea instead of the peach flavor completely overpowering it. DA HONG PAO MILK TEA The second time, I ordered the Da Hong Pao Milk Tea with the same chestnut topping. This one was decent as well. Nothing crazy or mind-blowing, but still an enjoyable milk tea. OVERALL Both times I came here, I had a good experience. I'm giving CHAYAN 4 stars because while none of the drinks really "wowed" me, they were still good enough for me to consider this place above average overall. Friendly staff Nice and quiet atmosphere Drinks aren't overly sweet Good tea flavor Easy ordering with kiosks or at the counter The drinks just need a little more of that "wow factor" for me to give this place a full 5 stars. Will definitely come back again and try some of their other drinks!

They also use Häagen-Dazs ice cream as a topping! A friend recommended this spot, and even on a Wednesday night it was packed. It's located in the same plaza as Chubby Skewers with a large shared parking lot, though the plaza itself can get busy. Ordering is easy through the self-service kiosks, and they also have a rewards program. The staff was incredibly friendly. My partner decided at the last minute that he wanted to add their mini pearls, and they happily accommodated the change without any hassle. I got the large macchiato (around $6). I would've liked a stronger tea flavor, but considering the price point, not bad. The mini boba wasn't my favorite, but if you plan on adding it, I'd recommend asking for light boba unless you're a serious boba lover. My partner's drink was probably close to 40% boba, which was a little much for our taste. Just know this is strictly a grab-and-go kind of place. There aren't any indoor tables, although plenty of people were hanging out with their drinks outside. Likely would come back to try their other drinks!

The presentation of their fresh milk mochi (鲜奶麻薯) bowls and dip-and-stretch mochi desserts is undeniable--it makes for great photos, and the shop itself is super bright and clean. The stretchy texture of the milk mochi base was fun and delightfully soft, and components like the taro paste and purple rice had a nice, subtle sweetness. However, for the price point, the execution fell a little short. Some of the toppings felt under-prepared; the taro balls lacked that fresh, springy chewy elasticity you want in a shaved ice/mochi bowl, and the coconut jelly base tasted slightly watered down instead of rich. Logistics wise, the service was quite slow even though the store wasn't very busy, and parking in this Labin Court plaza can be a complete nightmare during peak evening hours. It's a solid place to stop by once for the aesthetic and novelty, but given the steep competition for Asian desserts in Rowland, it doesn't quite hit top-tier status for me.

The smooth, light, melt-in-your-mouth custard is nice and thick, so the ratio of custard to crust is like 15:1 (how it should be, in my opinion!). Pictures do it no justice--you absolutely have to try it. I tried it the next morning after refrigeration and microwaving for 22sec, and it was so delicious, I finished the entire piece! And now I'm super full. But it was worth it. They also have a chocolate version that I was considering, but opted to go with their most popular, which is yummy enough to go out of your way for. Also tried their floral quartet oolong milk tea with boba. Tea was ok but boba was lackluster, a bit too stretchy and not sweet enough. That custard pastry though, easily brings this spot up to 5 stars. Small shop just to place your order at the counter and leave with goodies. Cute bread themed interior: baguette door handles, a variety of bread squishies for the kiddos to play with while you order, and a large rolling pin light fixture above you. Do yourself and your friends and family a favor and bring home at least a few of the butter caramel tarts. They're each nicely packaged in a windowed bag with branded sticker, so they're easy to gift. And each one comes with a packaged glove with which to enjoy your treat and not have to wash your hands.
