Hailing from Taiwan, ChiCha San Chen brings high quality ingredients together in delicious harmony. The tea quality is among the best in the city and drinks are brewed to order. The high mountain pouchong pairs particularly well with fruit flavors and the dong ding oolong is a great medium body balance to milk teas. Though the menu isn't expansive, they are focused on quality over quantity. Menu highlights include: * High Mountain Oolong with Passion Fruit * Dong Ding Tea Latte * Taro Latte While the standard menu is great, seasonal offerings like the summer peach series can be standouts. Even with many bubble tea choices in the area, ChiCha San Chen stands above most in almost every regard. Definitely worth many return visits! read more

Very artsy boba spot at Cedar Hill Crossing. They've definitely given boba their own unique touch, and I LOVE their drink holders with the twine handle, such a fun touch. I ordered the high mountain Pouchong tea with mango, and it was great. The boba was a little less firm than I'd prefer, but it was super fresh, which is a big plus. read more

ChiCha San Chen now has a location in Oregon and it is in the Beaverton area! This spot is located in a mall right next to Powell's bookstore. To get here, there is a parking lot with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have the same menu to go along with the modern and spacious setup as most of their other locations. This one however does not have a wait, which was a huge plus! I ended up getting the High Mountain Orange Pouchong Tea and wifey got the Dong Ding Oolong Tea with Fresh Milk. All of the staff here are friendly and welcoming. ChiCha San Chen welcome to Oregon! read more

Located next to a branch of Powell Books, ChiCha San Chen is a great stop to get milk tea before browsing. When we visited on a Saturday afternoon, the place was buzzing, with all tables taken, a number of people waiting for drinks, but no line to order (note: this location is a larger one and it's not nearly as busy as the one I visit most often up in Bellevue). They are busy but very efficient, pumping out drinks from four different specialized teaspresso spouts. We opted to only get one drink this visit since it was getting a little too late in the day for additional caffeine. Dong Ding Oolong w/ Cream, Perfect Sugar, Less Ice w/ Boba ($7.50) - This tea has strong, deep earthy flavors from the heavily oxidized tea leaves. It otherwise has an extremely creamy mouthfeel, very pleasant to sip on slowly. Less ice actually might not be enough - the ice melts before completely cooling the drink down. It's cool enough, but not ice-cold. Perfect sweetness is around 50% sweet compared to other shops, which is good for me. It's a good soft pleasant sweetness, not harsh in any way at all. The boba is pretty consistent with other locations (some are a little firmer, some a little softer, but the spread isn't very large with the worst rating I've given a 4, best a 5, and the typical being 4.5). The pearls are large and chewy with great bounce, albeit a little too firm for my tastes. It's probably partially due to not being marinated in as strong of a sweetener as top tier boba. Still very good. Milk Tea Rating: 5/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Overall this Chicha San Chen is very consistent with other locations. It's a premium priced boba shop, but I think the extra money spent is worth the quality jump. Bathrooms - They have a bathroom code displayed at the counter but I couldn't find one in store. Instead, since this is in a mall, there are larger bathrooms just a minute or two walk down the hall. read more

Parking is plentiful and easy to find. The interior was so fragrant and nice. Ordering is done on a self serve kiosk. Dong ding oolong tea latte (5/5): so creamy. The boba was soft and chewy. The tea was so fragrant and the right sweetness. I opted for less sweet. Tap to pay is accepted. Portions are a little small but the quality is top notch. Overall, ChiCha San Chen is a top tier boba shop. Drinks are super high quality and rich. read more

Finally got to try this boba spot! It's located in the Cedar Hills crossing shopping center. It's right near the movie theater. There are two entrances to the boba cafe. Walking in, I was taken back by the aesthetic. It had a clean, contemporary botanical vibe. The decor had circular plant engravings and a teapot array. There is a tablet to order off of and someone to take your order. There are display tvs with the menu and a booklet at the counter. I asked the employee what she recommend. She said green tea with crème. I added boba to it, coming out to $7.60. It did not take long for it to be ready. The drink came with a little string to carry. I loved my drink, it tasted so good. Best boba flavor I ever had. read more

I was surprised when I looked up "boba shops" in Portland to not only find a ChiCha, but a ChiCha without a huge crowd or line to wait in! I'm a Bay Area transplant and let me tell you....I dared not to go to the ChiCha in Cupertino because I valued my time and sanity. So ChiCha San Chen in Beaverton was my very first time there! And it definitely lives up to the hype. VERY tea forward drinks, the entire place smells deliciously fragrant with a pleasant aroma. Employees are super nice and usually offer a sample of a fruit tea or milk tea. My default is the Dong Ding Oolong Tea Latte with boba at perfect sweetness and no ice. The boba is always soft, sweet, and chewy - just perfect. I'm also a huge fan of the High Mountain Pouchong Tea with Mango on a warmer day! Why not 5 stars? I REALLYYY wish they had a loyalty program, and I wish their drinks were larger-sized. At nearly $7 a cup, I'd appreciate either of those features that some of my favorite tea shops seem to offer. I'll still happily patronize ChiCha though! read more

Very high-quality feel to this boba place. They spend a lot of time making each drink and making sure it's perfect. I ordered the bubble milk tea which was delicious but despite getting 100% sweetness it's not very sweet and doesn't have strong flavor, so if you're more into a mild tea flavor this is for you. I wouldn't study or do work here because it is often very busy with people walking through and a bit over-stimulating since its floor plan is one big long rectangle basically. read more

ChiCha San Chen - Bubble Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

This is my favorite boba spot in the area. Since the loose leaf teas are freshly brewed to order with a teasspresso machine, you have a wait a few minutes longer than other places. The menu includes green and black teas with a separate taro section and customizable options. I usually order the Taro Milk Tea (5 stars) with a black tea base. It includes taro paste that captures its true flavor rather than the sweeter and more purple versions elsewhere. The texture of the taro balls remind me of mochi. I also like the Orange High Mountain Pouchong Tea (5 stars) with boba. This combination highlighted the orange flavor more than the subtle green tea flavor. The Mango Green Tea (4 stars) with boba had a nice floral flavor. My husband's go to order is the Cassia Black Tea (4 stars) with honey and boba. The staff knows their menu well and can make recommendations if you are not sure. They usually offer a featured tea to sample. They keep the space clean and consistently provided 4 star service. read more

ChiCha San Chen - Delicious! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

This is one of my favorite boba spots! I've been to their Bellevue, WA and South Jordan, UT locations and finally made it to the Beaverton, OR one! I love how they brew their tea individually so most of the time the tea is fairly strong! I ordered a green milk tea with bubble and it was good, tea flavor could have been a tad stronger but I like my tea very strong. Their fruit tea is also super tasty as well. I'd definitely come back! The price is a tad high but for the tea quality it's worth treating yourself! The staff was friendly and the interior was super cute, you could definitely get some work done. Plenty of parking. read more

I'd been to Powell's books, Panera and Winco in this shopping center, but hadn't explored the interior shops at the mall yet. You can enter the mall through Powell's or the back of the stores on the Theater side. This Bubble Tea shop was recommended to me, and I'm glad I followed up. The interior is all white with some greenery and nice bright lighting. You can order at the kiosk or with a person. I went basic. Ordered a Bubble Milk Tea for $7.50. It was busy so I grabbed a table and sat watching the "Tea Fashion" machine action behind the counter. My receipt number was called when my drink was ready. It came with a cardboard carrier tied with a string to create a handle. I had customized the sweetness to low and requested no ice. It was perfect. This was a good visit! read more

Two stars only because the tea tastes good (when ordered less sweet). Otherwise would give zero. Been here a handful of times now and the service is awful. order numbers are not consistently called out by the staff when they're ready leading to a backlog at the pickup counter. I waited for my order number to be called, and they were well past my number. Went up to ask for confirmation if the drinks were mine and was promptly ignored. This place just isn't worth the hype or cost. I've had better quality tea in California. read more

Okay so I'm NOT crazy about Boba. In fact I really really hate it. I don't like the slimy ball lol. It's a texture thing for sure. But tea yes I do really like tea. I don't find a need to sweeten it or add milk to it. THAT said this is a fad. It's a cliche thing that shall pass. It's currently cool, but it will burn out as there not being these super expensive chains popping up everywhere. I say support the SMALL local businesses that have been doing this for years. Yes it's a beautiful place. And you are paying for it in the cost of your fancy tea. Is the tea "basket" adorbs? TRES. But again add that into the cost. Two teas for $17 um NO. That's legit insane. Even coffee chains can do a tea drink better (IMO,) for less. I say if you like Boba, go have it. Give it a whirl. It is what it advertises. It's a sweet treat. I'd much rather have a donut or a coffee but again that's my opinion take it or leave it! read more

So excited that this place opened up in Portland!! I've been a couple of times now, and each time was fun and met my expectations. I recommend not changing the sugar in the drinks. Normally, my preference is to have 25% sugar, which is what I did the first time I was there. The drink tasted pretty bland and unmemorable. However, with their normal amount of sugar, the quality of the tea really showed through. I appreciate that they put the 100% sugar in a place that emphasizes the best parts of the tea itself in a boba drink. I also really like how their menu is not extensive. It makes choosing a drink easier and shows that there's a little bit more thought put into each option. Prices are definitely on the higher end, but you're kind of paying for the name to some degree with Chi Cha San Chen. Definitely like this place and would return!! read more

I'm goin' on the record guys and saying this is about the damn Best bubble tea I've had in like since I was born. I don't love BBT for the sugar, but for the tea flavor (surprise, surprise) and if you love tea too, Sprint, don't walk to the near CCSC. This CCSC location just opened up not too long ago. It's spacious and clean and got decor that pays homage to its tea roots from Taiwan; even their tea extraction machines are unique to just them. Before we even ordered, we were kindly offered a (generous) sample. I ended up with their Honey Black Tea Latte and Taro Balls and man was this just perfection in a cup: perfectly sweetened tea, light on the milk, and Amazeballs chewy taro balls. The cups came in this cute, never-before-have-I-seen carrier/holder and a sticker to ensure top and bottom of cup don't accidentally spill. Like I said, just go. You'll thank me later read more

I decided to give this place a try again and some of my friends haven't tried and so we went together! I ordered their green tea cream, light sweetness and regular ice. Yes, this is still a pricier place to order boba but I liked this drink a lot more than the pervious one. The green tea is not like the Japanese green tea, just keep that in mind but this flavor was stronger than my previous drink. It had a nice smooth texture and it was enjoyable! Also, there was no one in line so it didn't take long! I will save up money to drop by and order the less complicated drinks so I can taste more of the tea flavor, which is something that I find important :) read more

ChiCha San Chen is such a great addition to the area. The shop feels brand new--spotless, modern, and very well maintained. From the moment you walk in, everything feels clean, organized, and thoughtfully designed. The specialty drinks here are top-tier. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into each cup. I've tried a few items on the menu, and everything has been consistently smooth and balanced, never overly sweet. My go-to order is the Osmanthus tea--floral, refreshing, and perfectly brewed. It's one of those drinks you keep coming back for because it's simple, elegant, and done right. If you appreciate high-quality tea, a clean and modern space, and well-crafted specialty drinks, ChiCha San Chen is absolutely worth the stop. read more

Quick, easy ordering on a Sat at noon. I was in and out within 8 minutes. The cashier was very helpful, gave me a sample, and let me smell a few tea options before deciding. The location is awesome. There's a Winco for affordable groceries and a New Seasons for specialty groceries at either end of the building ChiCha is in. I got the high mountain pouchong with passion fruit and bubbles (light sugar, no ice). The passion fruit was fresh shined as the main flavor with tea astringency left on the tongue. The boba were soft and chewy with a mild flavor (I prefer the stronger caramel flavor of the boba at Bobacat downtown). This particular drink was satisfying, but not something I crave. I will have to try some more options to find my favorite. read more

I was looking forward to finally trying this new tea place once the grand opening hype calmed down a little bit but I have to say I was not overly impressed with it. To give credit where it's due, the space is gorgeous and definitely contributed to the calm, bright, but natural feel. All the equipment looked fancy, shiny and clean, plus the staff were very professional but not overly friendly. The prices are on the higher side which is proportional to the quality of their tea. $1 extra for toppings like boba. But some of the drinks stat at $7 or $8 BASE which is a little off putting and not many non-dairy options (without adding MORE to the total cost with alternative milks...) Boba was nice and chewy though. Anyway, this spot could be a nice date or even business meeting place and I'm willing to give it another try and maybe try another drink. Come decide for yourself! read more

Was pleasantly surprised to find this! The aesthetics are gorgeous - clean, well-lit, and plenty of seating! Service was pretty quick. Our drinks were good - the green tea they use was delicious!

Best boba tea in town!!!! It took me forever to find a good boba place in Hillsboro/beaverton so I'm so happy chi cha opened. Their boba is so fresh - soft and chewy. I normally go for a classic milk tea or mango green tea with coconut jelly. The milk teas are creamy and smooth without being overly heavy. The sweetness and ice levels are customizable which I really appreciate! The shop itself has a really cozy vibe with plenty of seating, making it a great place to hang out or get some work done. The staff is friendly and I love that they offer a sample each time you order. I tend to place my order for pickup because it's normally quite busy. Overall my go-to boba place when I need a pick me up. read more

Delicious and high quality teas! Love how strong their teas are here even as a latte.

The Lemon Creamy Tart was also super novel and refreshing just like eating an actual lemon tart! Their space is super clean and modern. Would definitely be back to try more. read more

I was making a quick stop into Powell's when I stumbled upon ChiCha San Chen and just in time to get my morning boost of energy! I was the second customer right about 11am, staff were friendly and helpful when deciding what tea to order. They were giving out samples of the Honey Osmanthus, which was absolutely the right tea to have me sample because I was hooked. I ordered the Dong Ding Oolong latte because I had seen it all over my feeds when they first opened this location, but that sample was so tasty I ended up back in line a couple hours later to get the Honey Osmanthus as well! The branding and interior of this location was so bright and fun, I can't wait to stop again! read more

Oooooh I understand the hype. I went on a random Saturday mid afternoon. It was somewhat busy. Plenty of seating as you wait, but definitely is not a let's hang out with our drink kind of place. You will wait a bit no matter what. I think it just has to do with how they make it. I got the High Mountain Pouchong Tea with Mango and boba. It does not taste super sweet or artificial. The tea tastes super fresh and high quality. read more

I've been waiting for this location to open for a long time. I decided to wait until the hype died down for a better experience, as some mentioned the quality wasn't as great as the WA location during the grand opening. After visiting many times, I'm glad everything here tastes just as good as I remember. Drinks are actually cheaper here compared to the WA location. No matter what time I went, my wait time was never longer than 5 minutes. My go-to drink is bubble milk tea (black tea) with honey or cream and konjac. I always opt for less sugar to make it healthier and to enjoy a stronger tea flavor. I also ask for less ice since the drink volume is extremely small, especially for the price. The tea is strong and concentrated--so much so that it kept me up until 3 AM one time when I had it too close to bedtime. I wish this location offered insulated bags for large orders like the WA location does. It makes a big difference when ordering in bulk, and the bags are reusable, which is a nice bonus. read more

This is currently my favorite bubble tea spot in Oregon! The quality is very consistent - I have been here many times and adamantly make the drive out from Clackamas to enjoy a beverage here. My go-to is the Bubble Milk Tea. ChiCha's boba is not too tough - very warm and a good amount of chewy. I love that all their drinks can be seen made fresh at the counter. As a plus, their drinks come with the cutest cup holder/carrier combo! This makes it pretty convenient to walk around in Washington Square afterwards (which is what I like to do haha). Their service can be quick at times, but when they're busy, it could take quite awhile (I have had relatively long wait times in the past, upwards of 1.5 hours - which for bubble tea is a long wait time). I do enjoy the bright ambiance of the space with their minimalistic design. I recommend giving this place a try - but maybe on a weekday when it's slower! read more

Finally, a legit tea shop in Beaverton, OR! As someone coming from SoCal, it's been tough finding quality boba up here, but this place comes pretty close to the real deal.

This will definitely be my go-to spot whenever I'm in the area. read more

With a lot of anticipation , Chicha San Chen finally opened in Beaverton and I figured I should check it out. My first impression was good. The space is clean, modern, and spacious. I like that they included lot of green/fake plant accents to make it more inviting. As the perfume of tea hit my nose, I knew I was at a legit tea house. There were a lot of people gathering around the counter but they were a bit overwhelmed with the choices, so I was able to "skip the line" as I knew exactly what I wanted. I ordered a dongding oolong tea latte with bubbles with "light sugar" and "less ice". It's my go-to bubble tea whenever I visit Taiwan and it's so good. If you never tried it, I highly recommend chose Oolong as your tea base as it elevates the milk tea. The first impression of the tea was: "oh it's really good!" It was not too sweet and you can taste the quality of the tea base. But after 3 to 4 sip-and-chew, I realized the bubble was actually quite sweet. Personally I think it's a bit too sweet for me, but it's a personal preference and not a deal breaker in any form. The only wish I have is for the staff to be more knowledgeable of the tea flavors and notes. So they could help me decide which tea base I want. Overall, I enjoyed it. I'm very grateful we have multiple authentic bubble tea shops in the Beaverton area. That makes me happy. PS. I also like their cupholders with the carrying handles as you can hold it like a mini bag. I think it's a more environmentally friendly way to skip plastic bags. read more

Swung by during the grand opening then have been back twice and thank the lord the lines have let up haha The grand opening had a 15 min line but a 1 hour wait for the drinks but..in all honesty, it was worth the wait in my opinion. We were offered samples of the milk tea while we were waiting and it definitely made me realize just how good the tea was. Our first time through my husband got the classic fruit tea and I had the bubble milk tea; less ice, perfect sugar. And let me tell you, the perfect sugar was just that. Delicious without being too sweet and making me have diabetic flashbacks. The fruit tea was good too but my go to is always the classic milk tea so you know I had it during my second visit as well. My husband tried the cassia black tea mousse which he also really enjoyed; light and flavorful without being too sweet or too bland. On return trips, I tried the dong ding oolong which I liked but didn't love as much as the bubble milk tea. What can I say, I'm a basic person. Prices are absolutely fair for the taste and quality and I would totally visit this spot more frequently if it was closer to me. There's a healthy amt of seating and if there is ever a wait or a line you can just swing by the Powell's next door or take a quick walk around and head back. The interior is super cute and has a really bright feeling to it which is great! Parking is pretty easy since this more of a strip mall area. Swing by and try Chicha if you love delicious tea/boba. read more
