Coco Mango is good. Avocado smoothie base is light and gives a slight nutty taste. Mango sauce at the bottom, good flavor, a bit stringy from the mango fibers. You can only have it 75% sweetness. Solid service, completed in reasonable amount of time depending on how many people are there. It's a cafe after all. Selfie machine inside. Finally, they did something with that plaza, it's been years since I've last went there for that big restaurant at the top of the main building. Kind of nostalgic but we know why they're putting up the boba shops first.

I have ordered from here multiple times now. They have cute bags and so many drink options. Their drinks are decent, imo. Kinda pricey... All the drinks I have tried were ok. Not the best but not the worst. Something to drink when thirsty. If you go during the evening or night time, it is best to avoid their pastries. We got a plain croissant at night. They gave it to us without warming it up or anything. It was hard as rock. After warming it up, it wasn't even warm. It was still cold. It got even harder lol Not something I would drive outta my way for. They closes late so it is convenient when needing a drink while in the area

CHA REDEFINE is one of the best spots to get delicious drinks with a variety of flavors including coffee !! Sometimes I find it hard to get my matcha, coffee and GOOD BOBA FIX in the same store. This place has it all! I literally never tried a drink here I didn't think was bomb. Good service, it is quite a long wait ... but it's pretty inside and clean, lots of comfy seating and when you get drink it's all worth it. My FAVE IS : Mochi barely milk tea with POPPING BARELY that is so delicious and a great refreshing switch from traditional boba but still getting that chew, I usually always get sugar but this one with 0% sugar is still delicious because the mochi is sweet. Mango Mango : if you love mango sago drinks, this one is so refreshing and again, no need to add sugar it's perfect with 0% sugar still sweet and has jasmine green tea which makes it extra good imo perfect balance. If you like peach tea, please get the peach chappucino so good! I also tried their coconut and matcha gelato , it's ceremonial grease matcha and you can taste the richness. 100/10 Follow me for more foodie drink reviews -Living with Luci

Staff is really helpful in recommending drinks. Really enjoyed the different options. Great drinks!

Jasmine Milk Tea (Chapachino) - left Jasmine Iced Tea - right

I'm so excited for the San Gabriel location to be open! They'll have ice cream and croissants and pastries on top of their normal menu as well. The store typically opens around 11 or 11:30am and it's spacious so there's a good amount of seating as compared to other locations.

6/25/26 Sri Lanka Ceylon cha latte with oat milk-- surprisingly good!

Jennifer W.

6/25/26 I was really excited & rearing to go in.... Entered the doors and was told, "We open at 11". I figured it was an open door that they were. Would've passed the chance coz time is money but J figured J will take my business elsewhere but decided to return. J walked over to Kee Wah. When I returned, it was starting to pick up already. My less than warm reception was not impressive. The young man at the counter did not greet me and I may have startled him when I loudly said "Hi! Good morning!" as I stood there waiting for him to acknowledge the presence of a customer. If anything, I value these interactions & it didn't bode well. Ambiance is modern, clean, even the single stall restroom was clean and furnished for comfort. Music is extremely loud, not much for conversation if you would like to stay to enjoy your beverage with a friend, unless you relish shouting over each other. Perhaps it's only geared for the younger crowd. I ordered the HOT Sri Lanka Ceylon Cha Latte with oat (extra $0.75 for the oat milk)--- the only reason I'm giving it a 3 star rating. This beverage was actually very good. Not many beverages are made hot here (silly me, I thought tea & coffee are traditionally served hot vs. cold). The house cream made it palatable & the crunchy nut bits were a pleasant surprise. This is newly opened in the TAWA Gateway plaza, with many businesses sharing the lot, which I'm fairly certain will be packed in peak hours. The experience was lackluster as it was not the most welcoming atmosphere from the staff but at least I gave it a try.

Sri Lanka Ceylon latte, canneli, coco mango gelato ($22)

Sg has become the spot for boba. I ahve been trying to try all the new spots that just open and i am so glad to have finally checked off cha redefine. for co text, I have tried the arcadia location before. I remember getting a fruit juice (cant recall which) but i wasnt really vibing with it. however, when the sg location opened, ive been seeing/hearing sm hype about this place and decided to give it another go! we came, and it was pretty crowded but our order came out pretty quick! we ordered the - Sri Lanka Ceylon latte (7/10) loved the pecans & whipped cream. base was not as tea-a compared to the other mainland boba shops in sg but still phenomenal! also not too sweet - canneli? (idk if i spelled correctly, 5/10) would've given it an 8/10 but it was 3.75 per piece which was kinda insane to me. but it was rlly good. it kinda tasted like an elevated madeline cookie, rich and fluffy in the inside with a burnt crisp texture on the outside. - Coco mango Gelato (10/10) so good omg! I love ice cream, and this hit home!! loved the Gelato u can rlly taste the cream. the fruits were very fresh and sweet!

New tea chain that opened up in this busy San Gabriel plaza. Open late night which is great for hanging out. Indoor and outdoor seating. Refreshing drinks. Nice service and even gave my dog whipped cream on the side! The mango chili uses real mango for that sweet natural mango flavor. The ceylon cha latte comes with a thick whip cream and nuts on it. Tea was good. Would come back if I'm craving a late night drink. They also have ice cream and pastries here!

Kevin T.

Visited Cha Redefine with my lovely wife during their grand opening and it's just like the other locations I've been to. They're pretty big and have plenty of tables around. The cafe is very clean and big, free parking in a large parking lot as well. They share same plaza with two other boba shops and are close to popular restaurants as well, perfect spot to get some drinks after a meal. My go to drinks here are the matcha tornado and the Osmanthus drinks as well. All are refreshing to drink especially on a warmer day. This spot doesn't seem like a spot to hangout with friends as they don't have big tables. More of a grab and go type cafe. CRF is known for their higher quality drinks so I'm very happy to have another boba spot added to an already packed SGV.

Karen T.

Of course I had to visit the newest Cha Redefine location. This location is pretty much the same as the one in Arcadia. The shop has a clean, minimalist aesthetic. There is minimal seating inside, so it seems better for a grab-and-go experience rather than hanging out for a while. The menu has many creative drinks and a decent variety of drinks to choose from. I really like the chappuccino and cha latte drinks, whereas my husband really likes the ceremonial matcha grade drinks. Their drinks do lean towards the sweeter end though, so I prefer to get half sweetness here. Although there is no self-order kiosk, they do have online ordering through Toast and a loyalty program. The store opens until 1 am everyday, making it the perfect boba spot for late-night visits. Plenty of parking, including underground level parking, is available in the shared plaza.

the #2 mango mango is super yummy! such a light taste and perfectly sweet. The mangosteen peach paradise was just fine and would def pass next time. we loved the free photo booth while we waited for our drinks

Jenny N.

Came here around 11pm and line was packed!! Who knew there was 50% off drinks late night Mango Mango: 8/10, good refreshing summer drink Super crowded inside but there's a cute photobooth! Good amount of seating to chit chat while waiting for drinks.

Leesuh W.

Matcha Matcha 5/5 (good if you like matcha) Mango mango 5/5 (50% sweet is just right) Mango Passion Chill 4/5 (25% sweet is still a bit sweet) Almond Croissant 5/5 (only if it is baked fresh) Service 5/5! My overall experience has been good! However, their bakery goods are not good if you come in the late afternoon or evening. They're either cold or too hard to eat. I would recommend their almond croissant, but get it when they open or early afternoon - otherwise it's a waste of your money.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon and had a pretty terrible experience. The employee taking our order did not inform us that they had run out of agar boba, so we were surprised when our Mango Mango came with regular boba instead. If an ingredient is unavailable, I feel like customers should be told before their drink is made so they have the option to choose something else. On top of that, the menu description says the drink comes with coconut milk, but ours didn't seem to have any. When we brought this up, the girls making the drinks turned around and looked at us rudely, as if we were somehow at fault for asking about what was supposed to be in the drink. I understand that ingredients can run out, but the lack of communication and the attitude from the employees made the whole experience unnecessarily frustrating. Definitely not the kind of customer service I'd expect. read more

The service is okay. The drinks are good. Their mango and matcha drinks are very good. I would say they have the best mango jasmine in 626. They definitely have the best matcha out of boba stores. It did take a while for my drinks to come out. The pastries are pretty good also but a bit steep. Their limited time mangosteen peach drinks was very underwhelming. It was watered down with a hint if peach. There was no taste of mangosteen, which I was looking forward for. read more

Cha Redefine in Tawa has a clean, modern vibe that makes it an easy place to settle in for a quick drink. The space feels bright and tidy, and the staff keeps things moving with friendly, efficient service. Their Mango Mango drink is the standout--fresh, fragrant, and naturally sweet, with that smooth, juicy mango flavor that hits instantly. It's one of those drinks that feels genuinely delightful, the kind you finish faster than you meant to because it's just that good. read more

I went recently and got a large matcha blueberry drink, less sweet, and less ice. Don't even bother asking for less ice, I understand if they don't want to fill it up all the way (as per the sign by their pickup counter) but why is nearly half my drink ice?? It's literally down to the cup's logo. My friend also ordered her drink with less ice and her's was filled up all the way. Her hojicha einspanner did not NEARLY have as much ice compared to mine. I asked the employee at the counter if my drink was indeed "less ice" and he said that's a correct amount of ice for less ice in large drinks. My friends drink for scale (see attached picture), the matcha drink is literally the size of her drink topped with even more ice. Why did I bother paying for a large if that's the case. Size upgrade does not mean more drink, just more ice. Lesson learned, stick to the regular size. Edit: The drink itself initially tasted great. But it watered down substantially on the 10 min drive home. :/ read more

For adults, they're more of a two-bite treat (or potentially one bite for some). I tried the Madagascar Vanilla Bean, Black Sesame Hojicha, and Rich Taiwan Oolong Tea. The Madagascar Vanilla Bean and Black Sesame Hojicha were my favorites as both had really nice, distinct flavors without being overly sweet. The Rich Taiwan Oolong Tea was very bitter and had hardly any sweetness which wasn't really my preference. The filling is a light, creamy texture. Personally, I prefer a thicker, more custard-like filling but the cream was still enjoyable. What really stood out to me was the pastry itself. The exterior has a nice flakiness and slight crunch which added a great texture contrast to the soft filling. Overall, these are a solid cream puff option especially if you like lighter, less-sweet desserts. The mini size also makes it easy to try multiple flavors without committing to a full-sized dessert.

Tried the Cassia Milk Tea at Torotea in San Gabriel and, unfortunately, it was still way too sweet even after making two sweetness adjustments. I asked the nice staff I like less sweet and she first recommended "perfect" which was still sweet then "less" sweet was also still too sweet. The cafe has many tea selection I am not too familiar with. The cafe itself is really cute and chic--kind of narrow, but with calm, minimalist decor and a unique selection of teas. The staff was also very nice and welcoming. I'd definitely come back to try something else, but I'd probably skip the Cassia Milk Tea next time.

Chun Yang Tea - San Gabriel

Tried plenty of tea shops in the 626, but Chun Yang is still one of my favorite!…read moreAs an oolong tea lover, their Osmanthus Honey Oolong Tea Latte ($6.79) is my go to. I usually ask for less ice and 0% percent sugar since it's already sweetened with honey. The oolong is fragrant, smooth and tastes high quality, making every sip a treat. This drink instantly brightens my day. The staff are friendly and ordering from the self-service kiosk makes it quick and easy. It's definitely a grab and go spot. The only downside is that the shop is tucked toward the back of the plaza, somewhat hidden and parking can be difficult during busy times. I usually have better luck finding street parking. With so many tea shops popping up, Chun Yang continues to be one of my tried and true favorites- a perfect fusion of traditional and modern.

Chun Yang Tea is a small shop in a busy plaza. There wasn't any parking since all the other…read morebusinesses had taken up spots for visitors and employees. There was a steady stream of people coming and leaving at all times. We ordered from the self serve kiosk. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks when there were only 3 people ahead of us. The drinks were watered down in comparison to other places despite being less ice for two drinks. The hojicha latte with brown sugar pearls is only available on weekends. The tea taste and milk didn't mesh together well. Oolong tea with pudding also tasted more like water than tea. The pudding was overwhelming. It is similar (if not the same) as ones you get from japanese convenience stores. For the price point, I would have expected berger taste and quality. The wait wasn't worth it for what was being served. I don't think I'd come back to this location but might give it another try elsewhere.

As a larger group, we had to constantly ask for more water to seep our tea since the kettle was fairly small. At the end, they offered us free soft-serve if we wrote a yelp review.

5 Stars - A Tea Lover's Paradise! Cha Redefine is hands down one of the best tea spots in town! The ambiance is absolutely stunning--modern, cozy, and super Instagram-worthy, with a relaxing vibe that makes it perfect for hanging out or working. Their tea quality is top-tier--rich, fragrant, and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. No matter what you pick from their Top Tea Ranking list, you can't go wrong--every drink is delicious and well-crafted. My absolute favorite is the Lychee Osmanthus Rice Wine Tea--it's the perfect blend of sweet, floral, and refreshing, with a subtle rice wine kick that's totally unique and addictive. If you're a tea fan, this place is a must-visit. Great environment, amazing tea, and consistent quality across the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Redivine Tea is a wonderful spot if you're looking for a quality matcha drink in a beautiful setting. I ordered the matcha, and it was absolutely perfect--smooth, rich, and well-balanced without being overly sweet. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The shop itself is modern, stylish, and incredibly inviting. Everything was spotless, and the fresh, pleasant aroma made the space feel even more welcoming. It's the kind of place where you can comfortably relax and enjoy your drink. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Between the excellent matcha, clean and contemporary atmosphere, and outstanding customer service, Redivine Tea is definitely a place I'll be returning to. read more

I ordered mango passion chill Cha Redefined is What I Loved: * The Flavors: I tried the Poetic Pink and the Matcha Latte. You can actually taste the premium quality of the tea leaves--it's fragrant and smooth, not just masked by sugar. * The Presentation: Every drink is a work of art. The layering is stunning, and the packaging is sleek and modern. It's definitely "Instagram-ready." * The Atmosphere: The interior is minimalist, clean, and calming. It's the perfect place to catch up with a friend or take a quick mental break from the city bustle. read more

Never in my life have I experienced such hydration. One sip and I felt like my cells signed a peace treaty with the universe. The flavor? Pure, unadulterated moisture. Hints of hydrogen, subtle notes of oxygen -- truly inspired. I've tried other drinks before (you know who you are, sodas and lattes), but nothing compares to this clear masterpiece. I could feel my organs high‑fiving each other. Honestly, if I could legally marry a beverage, this would have been the one. Drink this and ascend. The rest of you -- stay thirsty. read more

Cha Redefine Tea House seriously exceeded my expectations. The drinks were amazing -- flavorful, refreshing, and not overly sweet like a lot of other boba spots. The quality really stands out. The shop itself has such a clean and cozy vibe, making it a great place to relax or study for a bit. Staff was super friendly and helpful with recommendations too. You can tell they care about both the drinks and the overall experience. Definitely one of my new favorite tea spots! read more
