Everything about this place was so so good food and drinks amazing 10 out of 10 unfortunately I…read moredon't live in Waco but if I did, I'd be there all the time. I will definitely try to stop by as often as I can when I'm traveling through!! here's an updated menu for this location as well as some pictures as of the interior! Service was also very good!

Drink: I ordered a large peach green tea with boba, no ice,…read moreand it was fantastic. The tea was brewed beautifully , fresh, balanced, and not syrupy sweet like some other boba spots. The boba itself was perfectly chewy and just sweet enough to complement the drink, not overpower it. I also really appreciated that, even with no ice, they filled my cup completely to the top. Simple, thoughtful detail and it makes all the difference. Service: The staff here was genuinely kind and patient. I asked a few questions about sweetness levels and tea bases (I'm mindful about sugar intake), and they answered every one with care, no judgment, no pressure, no upselling. They made the drink exactly how I ordered it and didn't try to push other menu options on me. That respect and attentiveness go such a long way. Ambiance: Cha Community has such a warm, creative vibe, red brick walls, cozy coffeehouse energy, indie music, local art, and stickers that make the space feel personal and loved. The whole café smelled amazing, and you can tell they've put heart into the details. It's the kind of place that feels like a little pocket of calm and connection in the middle of the day. Overall: Highly recommend stopping here if you're in Waco. The experience was night and day, proof that quality, care, and consistency matter more than anything else. Refer to my Poppa Bear review if you want the comparison, but honestly, just come to Cha Community first.

It was a self-order and they come out when your order is ready. We got the mango milk tea w/ black tea. 2/10 not a fan. Popping boba wasn't good and flavor wasn't good either. We also got a mango smoothie with strawberry popping boba which was ok. 6/10. I don't think we'd come back to this spot again.

The shop has a wide selection of teas, coffees, slushes, smoothies, and toppings to choose from. They also have poke bowls available that you can build/customize to your likings. You can either customize your own drink or pick one of the existing drinks on the menu. You can also adjust the ice and/or sweetness levels if you choose to do so, add toppings. We got the Oreo Milk Snow Ice, Mango Honey Snow Ice, and Brown Sugar Milk Tea (not pictured), and every drink tasted delicious. I'm actually surprised that they don't have more reviews.

This is a spot they frequent often since his wife has dietary needs that the Clay Pot can support. The menu is a bit overwhelming with choices, so we started with appetizers: steamed chicken dumplings and the Clay Pot sampler. I enjoyed a couple of the steamed chicken dumplings with the house sauce which is a bit sweet but quite tasty. I ordered Bun Bo Hue soup with tofu. It was spicy and delicious. The tofu was fresh and cut into generous pieces. I ate as much as I could because no one wanted any and there is only one size. Our waiter Issac was amazing.

Why only three stars? I averaged down as follows:…read more This place gets five stars for the taste of its food, which was truly outstanding. Obviously, that's very important. I had a pork banh mi sandwich along with a vermicelli pork, bowl and an extra eggroll. Without question, the best Vietnamese food I have had in Waco and this place would situate itself very well in a bigger city, such as Austin, based on the taste of the food. Simply delicious! But, portion size in terms of the meat was inadequate. Incredibly small portion of meat on the vermicelli pork although the overall dish was filling, I did not buy noodles and some veggies, I bought a pork dish. Same was true of the bahn mi sandwich. Not enough meat. Unfortunately, I would have to say that I do not believe this place offers good value for the money I n Waco, particularly for the pork vermicelli bowl.

In my short trip through Waco, I was craving Asian food and found this little spot near Baylor U. - amazing variety of sushi and korean menus - great value for portion sizes (I couldn't finish as the portions were Texas size!) - serve serve kiosk but support staff were friendly - somewhat satisfactory taste But when you walk in with the lowest expectations in a small town diner, it's not difficult to be satisfied with a mediocre food. The spicy korean tofu soup wasn't even close to avg quality I've had in the big cities of LA, Chicago, or NY, but it did its job and satisfied my korean food craving. I'd come back for more!
