    Drinks: Expected the quality to be as good as California, and it didn't disappoint. Ordered a simple drink--Black Tea with Cream--but that was enough to hit the spot. Service: No complaints! The wait for my drink wasn't long--granted, there weren't too many customers. Ambiance: Casual, modern, industrial. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.

    Chicha San Chen is our favorite boba shop in DFW. It's a more artisenal chain from Taiwan that focuses on tea quality and they brew each cup to order with their custom machines that pull shots like an espresso machine. Very cool experience and the interior is very open with warm and bright tones. They also offer a tea tasting experience that I have yet to do but do want to try. Everything I've had is really good. The taro drinks are awesome and they have fresh taro balls that are very soft. The tea flavors really shine in everything they make. It was super busy when they first open but not bad at all now. Very happy that Dallas has a Chicha San Chen!

    Busy spot on weekends so expect a line, but it moves pretty efficiently. You order either on an iPad or with a staff member, then they give you a number and calls it for you to grab. That's both indoor and outdoor seatings. Got the passion fruit green tea with konjac at 30% sweetness. The tea flavor in these drinks always shine through. Quality is good!

    I come here quite often. The teas are always delicious and fresh. The flavor is very good and not overpowering or ostentatious like some of the nearby shops. The beauty of the interior is also unmatched and offers a more natural look than other shops as well. I always try to get a different flavor each time and. bring friends to try it out as well.

    This place is a HUGE hype in Taiwan. It apparently won the Michelin Star equivalent for drinks. Personally, I don't think it's a bad place to if you want some boba or tea drinks that aren't as sugary. They definitely have a great tea selection and on weekends, they offer some tea tastings. Not only that but they have rotating monthly specials. Watch out though, the weekend nights and Sunday mornings after 12pm is utter madness since everyone is out and about at this time. Just be sure to keep your receipt because that's how you monitor the status of your drink. It'll populate on a big tv above and the entrance.

    Peach drink with vanilla cold foam was very tasty, comes with a very cute presentation. Not a long wait, good atmosphere and lots of people coming and going!

    This review will be biased, since i'm Taiwanese, but the drinks here are pretty good. We ended up getting a pineapple milk tea and a taro milk tea. This place uses less sugar where they start at 75% and you can adjust downwards. The string that comes with each drink, is very aesthetically pleasing to look at. When we went, it was very crowded inside, like all the seats and tables were taken. Which is surprising, since the inside is very spacious for a tea shop. We actually ordered via the kiosk and it took about 5-7 minutes to get our drink. They have a crazy looking machine which brews and extracts the tea. It looks like a high end expresso machine...lol They also have outdoor seating. This place is located in a new shopping plaza, a few streets away from the 99 ranch plaza.

    Love that they brew your tea to order so it's as fresh as it can be. Atmosphere is really nice and calming . They also do tea tasting during the weekends and the staff are really helpful in helping you choose a drink.

    The teas tasted amazing. And the inside of the shop is really stunning and can be a great spot to catch up with friends or get some work done. The front register team member did a decent job of suggesting teas but was a little impersonal. Maybe I'm just getting old. Overall, I was great for her patience with me even if I felt a little rushed. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of what they have on the menu and further seasonal teas.

    We got the Green Tea with Cream and Dong Ding Oolong Tea Latte - both were delicious! The Green Tea with Cream has a stronger tea taste while the Dong Ding Oolong Tea Latte is creamier and richer. We got boba with both drinks and the boba was soft, chewy, and still warm when we got our drinks! Overall, I loved visiting this location in Carollton! It's located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Plenty of seating available inside with lots of people sitting and chatting. Aesthetic interior with lovely vibes. Staff was fast and efficient.

    I can understand why this location was so popular when it opened. The first time I went here I was so impressed when the taste of the tea. & I am a HUGE tea fanatic. The presentation of the drink is just adorable. My drink was full of flavor and really made me wanting to come back for more. I also enjoy this location in Carrollton, and there is also a couple cute things you can do in the area (such as go to a claw arcade or make rugs next door). Overall, if you enjoy tea and want to try something new and delicious, you should give Chicha San Chen a shot, you won't be disappointed.

    Chicha San Chen is hands down one of the best boba spots I've ever been to! You can taste the difference in quality -- the tea is brewed fresh to order, and every drink has that rich, aromatic flavor that sets it apart from typical bubble tea places. I got the Dong Ding Oolong Milk Tea with 50% sugar and it was perfection -- smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The boba was soft with just the right chew. You can tell they care about the details here. The space is super clean and modern, and the staff were friendly and helpful when explaining the menu. It's a little pricier than your average boba, but totally worth it for the freshness and quality. If you're a tea lover, this place is a must-try. Go for the oolong-based drinks -- they're unmatched!

    My first time visit and everything was good! Once you stepped in, you can order on the screen or with the cashier. It was quite hard to find a drink to customize because a lot of things are just set and can't add toppings. Lots of seating options inside. I love the decoration. Only takes about 5 mins for my drink to be ready. The tea has great flavor so they definitely used good quality tea. The boba is one of the best flavor and texture I've ever had. My favorite boba place in Dallas!

    This place was great! Very busy and crowded but solid tea! Very sweet and lots of boba. The price…read morewas great and I would get it again. The ambiance is a clean aesthetic, located on the far left side of Carrolton.

    Most of the cafes in Carrollton get packed on the weekend Redstraw was no different - my friend and…read moreI stopped by to journal on a Sunday. It wasn't insanely busy yet, but it was active with people at most tables! I went up to get my drink and asked about if it could add lemonade to it, because they do offer some form of Arnold Palmer drink on the menu. However, they acted like I was a bit crazy for asking something like that and said they couldn't do it when I pointed at the menu to my friend at the line that said lemonade in the Arnold Palmer. It was fine, because I had another drink in mine to get and it ended up being really good the peach Bellini was really refreshing considering how hot it was outside. That's a start contrast to the actual interior, though, the restaurant was kind of warm, like they didn't have the AC up high enough, considering we're in Texas, so there really was no escape from the heat outside. Despite this, the staff was super nice to let us stay for the amount of time we wanted to journal it ended up maybe being about an hour to an hour and a half. They have ample seating to get this done, and overall it was an enjoyable time.
