    Peanut Butter Coffee
    Michael F.

    This is a neat small tea shop in the Esplanade. It's tucked in the corner, but it's open a roomy inside. I used the kiosk to order a Peanut Butter Coffee, a recent new offering from them. I love peanut butter and coffee so I wanted to see how they come together here. First thing to note, I selected the option presented to me on the kiosk for "Less Ice". When I received my iced coffee, it was full to the max with ice, despite it printed right on the side of the cup stating Less Ice. I don't think they could have fit another ice cube in there. Taste - The coffee was semi bitter which would be OK with some cream or flavor. It appeared that they lined the cup with peanut butter, yet that really didn't flavor the coffee much. It wasn't until I finished the coffee that I noticed I had a full cup of ice and peanut butter. I used my finger to get a nice heaping taste of the peanut butter and itneaa delicious. Whichever peanut butter they are using here, It tasted really good! This was an interesting drink, yet poorly executed in my opinion. The coffee was okay, but the peanut butter was excellent. Now, only if they could somehow get them to mix together... A shaken coffee maybe?

    Amazingly soft boba!!! I was pleasantly surprised when I had my first sip of my drink! I was like yup, this is my new go to boba spot. Their boba was done perfectly and the drink itself was good! I got a brown sugar milk tea with boba 50% sweet and it was just the right amount of sweetness for me. The interior was decorated nicely. There is plenty of seating and there is a large table in the back good for groups and for studying! We ordered on the kiosk so I didn't interact with anyone who works there but they were pretty quick and efficient with getting drinks out. Can't wait to try more of their drinks!!!

    Chakaa Tea House is such a cute little hidden gem. I was craving some boba, as I usually do, but it was in the morning and the place I usually go to didn't open til noon. But I saw that this place opened up at 11 so I thought I'd try something new and it did not disappoint. The inside was so cute, a modern feel but also so inviting with the foosball table which was a nice touch. The perfect place to catch up with friends and hang out for awhile. My go to is always a brown sugar boba drink so I tried theirs and it was sooooo good. Since I came right at opening I waited about 15 minutes for the boba which I assumed would be the case because it takes time to make the boba so I didn't mind. Plus it was well worth the wait, I will definitely be back and bringing friends!

    First time here while I was in town and the Vietnamese iced coffee was really good! I recommend it. The place was clean and seems like a chill place to study or hang out with friends. Nice casual vibe and the service was pretty good too! I'd come back

    Overall visit was good came in had a decent amount of customers sitting down enjoying drinks, we were greeted right away by two young men and our drinks came out quickly and received a big smile when we picked up!

    Chakaa has been one of my favorite spots since they opened, particularly due to the strawberry cheezo and strawberry green tea drinks with the pieces of strawberry at the bottom of the drink. I was very disappointed when I returned yesterday to discover no strawberry pieces in my strawberry cheezo :( although the drink was still delicious, it made it much less special for me and I am not as likely to go out of my way for this, especially at almost $8. I was also a bit disappointed that the usually friendly and cheerful staff did not feel warm at all in greeting me or in their interactions. I was also surprised by how warm it was inside, too warm for me to comfortably stay there if I wanted to - you expect a place like this to be cool inside, not warm. I hate to deduct a star and still think the drinks are delicious, but I hope they go back to adding the strawberry pieces at the bottom of the drinks rather than blending them all into it.

    One of my favorite Boba shops in the 805 area. I love their unique flavor combinations as well as the crushed fruit and some of their drinks. I wish they had lactose free milk because I am lactose intolerance but otherwise I love this space. I come here a lot to study and they play a lot of k pop music. I love how there is also rewards program.

    Located at the Esplanade Shopping center. Busy area so parking might be difficult unless you don't care about walking towards the parking for the other stores. Clean space, friendly stuff. Delicious combinations of tea creations. My only issues are the hours. I want my tea/smoothie early in the morning and they don't open until 11:30 am.

    Ordered the Banana Matcha, Super Passionfruit, and House Bobo--and wow, everything was delicious! The Banana Matcha was recommended by the staff member, who was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knew his drinks. It ended up being such a treat and definitely my favorite of the three. The ambiance was also beautiful. I especially loved the flower wall design!! it made the space feel so inviting and perfect for photos. I'll definitely be coming back again!

    Chakaa has become our favorite boba spot . We often order large fam orders . The Viet coffee is a fave for sure for shhuurree ! Space is large and nicely kept. Love the music that is often playing. They don't post often on insta or advertise much but it has quickly become a local favorite. Per Yelp it is a top place to drink. My fam used to order from Boba Time but once I turned them into Chakaa , they have never looked back !

    What i was surved

    8 dollars for a drink filled 50%. Payed an extra 50 cents for no ice and 1 whole dollar for boba

There are a lot of people that were waiting around for the drinks because of how busy it was but I didn't wait that much longer. They have the menus on the walls and you're able to get an extra boost if you need to. The process was very painless and very efficient. This is my go to smoothie place if I'm ever in the area.

I loved the menu selection and appreciated all of the healthier options available. I ordered the Purple Rain, and my son got the Mango drink. He's lactose intolerant and actually enjoys oat milk, so that's usually one of his go-to choices. Unfortunately, his drink wasn't something he enjoyed. He kept saying it reminded him of a soda, and after I tried it, I understood what he meant. Oddly enough, it had a carbonated or bubbly sensation to it, which was unexpected and a little strange. I'm not sure if that's intentional, but it wasn't really for us. The Purple Rain, however, was delicious, and I would definitely order that again. I'd also come back to try the bowls and some of the other menu items because everything looked great. My only other note would be the pricing. In my opinion, it's a bit higher than some other local options, both small businesses and larger chains. That said, I understand that quality ingredients and specialty items can increase costs. Customer service was great! She was very sweet and friendly with us! Overall, it's definitely worth trying at least once, especially if you're looking for healthier options and a unique menu.

This downtown Ventura juice bar and vegan spot does healthy without the attitude. The ambiance is bright, clean, and calm, the kind of space that immediately makes you feel like you're doing something good for yourself. Everything is organic, cold-pressed, and actually tastes good, which matters. The staff is always kind and genuinely knowledgeable. I mentioned I had a little throat tickle and was immediately pointed to the Scorpion shot. Instant relief. Ventura locals know this spot well, and for good reason. The energy balls deserve their own shoutout. I once tried making them at home and quickly learned it was more work than it's worth, so now I just let the professionals handle it. Don't sleep on the Prince Island with cacao nut mylk. It's rich, comforting, and somehow still feels virtuous.
