    Awesome! Our favorite tea place in Coachella Valley. Such amazing people and great drinks! Love the atmosphere!

    Mango green tea with mango Boba. Matcha milk tea

    First time coming here. Wanted to find a sweet drink after dinner. It was the perfect refreshment for a warm evening. There was only 1 lady working and she was super sweet and kind. She took care of everything, from taking orders to making drinks. She did great, we ordered a mango green tea and a matcha milk tea. 10/10 amazing! Drinks were fresh and flavorful. The shop was very clean and inviting. Everything on the kitchen side looked clean amd organized. Would definitely recommend coming here for a nice cool drink. Thank you for the service and drinks

    Very cute boba tea shop! There's plenty of cushion seatings, great place to hangout with friends, and get some yummy boba drinks! My favorite drink from here is Matcha strawberry drink! Delicious blends of cheese foam, matcha, and fresh purée strawberries. The flavor is not too sweet, a perfect hot weather treat as we're approaching summer weather. There was only one person working, and he was very acknowledgeable with the menu, and made some great recommendations! Very friendly, I will be back. :)

    Best boba tea shop in the Desert! After moved here from the Bay Area, took me a while to look for a good boba tea place. I tried different tea shops in the Coachella valley, this is the best I found. I'm pretty picky about boba tea because I've been drinking boba tea since 1980's and had owned a boba tea shop before. Not only the tea is good here but the service is also superior! I usually order Jasmine Green Milk Tea and this time I ordered Mango Matcha Milk Tea, both are very good! One very important thing I almost forgot to mention is that they make good boba here, it's chewy just the way it is supposed to be. Some other places make their Boba either too soft or too hard. I'm also lactose intolerant, Chakaa offers Oatmilk and Almond milk substitutes, just perfect! Let's support our local small business if you ever come to the desert, this shop is inside the famous RIVER plaza in Rancho Mirage!

    Very cute little place with great menu variety! Got a Thai tea with boba and it was delicious and perfectly made! Wasn't busy so service was quick and easy. Would go back and would recommend!

    You probably already know... I'm a tea enthusiast and Chakaa Tea Shop @ the River has definitely earned my stamp of approval. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is so inviting, cozy and modern with natural lighting and a beautiful water oasis right outside that makes you feel like you're sitting close to a tropical paradise (even in the desert). The menu has a wide variety of teas and flavors to choose from, and their tea experts are always happy to help you find the perfect blend to suit your mood. On my visit, I tried their famous matcha latte, and it was simply heavenly. It was creamy, frothy, and had just the right amount of sweetness. I typically ask for a quarter of the sweetness they would normally use in these types of tea shops and that has, on average, turned out quite well for me. For those of us who are watching their sugar I would request 1/2 to 1/4 of the typical sugar measurement. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable, although a bit understaffed. Chakaa Tea Shop is a not-so-hidden gem in Palm Springs/Cathedral City aka The River, and I highly recommend it to anyone who happens to be in this area and wants a cozy and relaxing environment to enjoy a delicious beverage. Five stars all around!

    Jasmine milk green tea with coffee & grass jelly. In the theater of course!

    This Bay Area native is so happy to have a quality & yummy boba shop. Vibe is cool & staff is nice. Stop in when you get a chance!

    In terms of boba teas. I am an OG. I usually driving to rowland heights or China town for tradition Taiwanese boba teas. I came cross this place few weeks ago, and the boba tea here is so good. Most boba places they use powder mix and make the tea super sweet and you can't adjust the sugar level. Here they use real tea and milk which you can actually taste. I always get the house milk tea with boba and 50% sweetness. Their jasmine green milk tea also very good. The ambiance is very nice, great for students just hang out and chill, study. Also great for families. The girl up front she is really sweet. She always provide a good service. She knows her stuff and can make any adjustment to your drink.

    After a disappointing visit at another milk tea shop, I had to make another trip to find a good milk tea drink to end my night right. I found Chakka and was happy to make the 10-minute additional drive in the opposite direction of going home to satisfy my carving. DRINKS Wintermelon Tea (noncaffeinated), 25% sweetness level, with crystal boba. The drink was really good and just to my liking. Not too sweet and good flavor. The staff kindly swapped out the boba with crystal boba too. Roasted Oolong Milk Tea and 50% sweetness level. The oolong milk tea was so fragrant. The boba was ok. SERVICE The 2 ladies were smiley, friendly, and very helpful. AMBIANCE Chakka is a cute and very clean shop about 6 months old. The string lights help create a vibe. PRICE The price was fair. For 2 drinks it was around $13. PARKING Plenty of parking since it's located in a big plaza call The River. I know where I can find good boba milk tea now when I'm in the desert! Go check them out and enjoy a cool beverage!

    SHORT ANSWER: Yes, a great small business offering excellent options…read more LOCATION: In a retail / business center with lots of parking. FACILITY: Minimal TI buildout but good enough not going over the top with expense. There are a few seats and tables inside and a few outside, but minimal. MENU: I don't know what to say, I was a bit overwhelmed with choices and then options, this was my first visit so maybe menu is normal... FOOD PREP: Very well done, with care, nice presentation. FOOD QUALITY: Matcha Creme Latte $6.67 with Sea Salt foam with boba. WAITSTAFF: very nice and did not rush me as I had really no idea what I was ordering. OVERALL VALUE: wow, I think a great value and I will return, because it was very good, people were nice, but it also seemed like a great value. TIP: If you're like me, I had never had boba and id not know what it was, well it was great. Look at the menu online and know what you want prior. I would have like to known calories and sugar content but guess its was high...

    So enjoyed it. A lot on the menu to chose from . I had a garden tea so refreshing . Nothing fancy…read moreabout the place. Walked pass a few times. Servir was soso not really acknowledged or offered any help. I took my time reading through the menu until I figured it out. But was really good

    We've been coming to this Happy Tea boba shop every time we're in Palm Springs, and it never…read moredisappoints! It's become one of our must-stop spots whenever we're in town. The shop is always spotless and well-maintained, which makes it such a welcoming place to relax and enjoy a drink. The staff are consistently friendly, helpful, and always greet you with a smile. Their customer service is just as impressive as their drinks. Every boba tea we've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. Whether you're craving a classic milk tea or something fruity and refreshing, you really can't go wrong. It's clear they take pride in both their drinks and the overall experience they provide. If you're in Palm Springs and looking for delicious boba, great service, and a clean, inviting atmosphere, I highly recommend stopping by. We'll definitely keep coming back every chance we get!

    tried to search for a place that had both boba drinks and good food so we tried Happy Tea Cafe…read more we got the vegetarian baos and egg rolls. the baos were sooo dry they crumbled apart once i bit into it. it tasted like it was in the deep freezer for awhile.. this is unfortunate because i was super excited for this. the egg rolls were fried but still cold in the middle!! when it was served to us the lady told us to "be careful cause they're hot." they in fact, were not. the boba drinks were disappointing. i've had plenty of roasted oolong teas in my life and there was nothing"roasted" about the tea. it tasted like it came from a powder packet. my husband got the strawberry lemonade with lychee jelly. this was ok, but something was off. once we walked into the store, they told us they were out of honey boba! it's disappointing to walk into a boba shop and be told they are out of boba :/ to top it off.. as we waited for our food, the people who ordered after us asked for a drink with boba and the employees told them that they had "a little bit of boba left and it's ok they will give it to them." my jaw dropped lol. lastly, THE EMPLOYEES WERE FRIENDLY so no complaints on that. never will i come back again th
