I definitely want to come back and try other coffees too now as I will be in the area as well. The customer service was super friendly and patient.

New hot drinks to begin my day.

The Jasmine Tea Latte was more subtle in floral flavor. The mango pomelo sago was BOMB! Love the rich coconut with the sweet mango and bitter pomelo. My fav. Also had their egg tart which is really tasty and flakey! Would go back.

If you have not made it over to this place, you need to go now…read more One of the best tea places I've tried. Plenty of parking in the plaza. The minute you walk in, it smells so good of tea. I think this place is comparable to Molly Tea and Charlie Tea but I think it taste slightly better. It has such a fragrant strong tea taste. I tried the osmanthus milk tea and the oolong lemon tea. You must get the osmanthus milk tea. My husband who doesn't like milk tea said it was so good and he would get it again. The oolong lemon tea is on the sweet side. It was good but wasn't stand out. However the osmanthus milk tea was perfect. I got the recommended 70% sweetness. Will go back to try other milk teas for sure.

I really liked the lychee pulp in the drink. Good option for a hot day. We ordered via a self serving kiosk and the drinks came out fast! Chahalo is a good option if you're trying to avoid the long lines at the other popular boba shops and still get a good drink. Definitely a less busy and chill vibe ~

We were impressed with their variety of cookies - gochujan, pj chocolate and matcha ganache were all really good! 4/5 Also, parking was easy and staff was friendly :)

Simplicity yet elegance are the words that describe this place…read more We actually stopped by to kill some time because of the bad traffic on our way home. Most orders are placed through the self-service kiosk, although you can also order at the counter--you just have to call the staff over since they're usually inside. I ordered the Matcha Kream Spanner, while my husband went with an Iced Americano. Both were really good! They also offer their signature "Cube" (toast block), which looks pretty interesting. Definitely adding that to my order for the next visit!

Matcha lovers, this one is worth the stop…read more I visited Chayan not too long after they opened, and this was such a good find in Rowland Heights. First of all, the space itself is beautiful. The traditional Chinese-inspired aesthetic gives the shop such an elegant, calm atmosphere. It isn't overly flashy or trying too hard to be trendy--it just feels peaceful and thoughtfully put together. Definitely the kind of place where you can slow down and actually enjoy your tea. But let's talk about the reason I came here: the Matcha Green Tea Frappe. SO. GOOD. What immediately stood out to me was that this didn't taste like one of those drinks where the actual matcha gets completely buried underneath sugar. You can genuinely taste the matcha and the quality of the tea. It has that distinct matcha flavor while still being creamy and enjoyable. And the topping?! Instead of just throwing regular whipped cream on it, they top it with whipped matcha and roasted peanuts, which gives it this really interesting combination of creamy, earthy, nutty flavors. The peanuts add a little texture and complement the matcha surprisingly well. It tasted intentional rather than just sweet for the sake of being sweet. That's probably my biggest recommendation before coming here: if you're looking for an extremely sugary, dessert-style matcha, this may not be what you're looking for. This is much more about actually tasting the tea. If you want something loaded with sugar where the matcha disappears somewhere in the background... Starbucks is right there. But if you appreciate a more balanced drink where you can actually taste good-quality matcha, I absolutely recommend giving Chayan a try. Beautiful atmosphere, quality tea, unique flavors, and an overall really relaxing experience. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu.

4/5 For some of you…read morewho might not know, CHAYAN is: * Chayan -- a UK / London-born tea brand * Origin: London, United Kingdom, originally known as Tastetea * Specialty: Modern-style Chinese tea, frappes, and "chappuccinos" topped with cream and nuts * The brand has also expanded internationally, including locations in Canada such as British Columbia. LOCATION & PARKING This CHAYAN is located inside Pacific Plaza on Colima Rd. The parking lot is shared with the other businesses in the plaza, and it's not very big, so parking can sometimes be a little limited. The shop is on the ground level, right next to the stairs that lead up to the second floor. ORDERING & ATMOSPHERE Once you walk into the store, there are two self-order kiosks on the left where you can place your own order. You can also walk straight to the counter and have one of the staff members help you. The staff members I interacted with were nice and friendly. Usually, there aren't too many customers inside, so the atmosphere tends to be pretty quiet and relaxing. PEACH OOLONG MILK TEA I've visited this place twice. The first time, I ordered the Peach Oolong Milk Tea with their chestnut boba--or whatever their specialty topping is called. Sorry, I forgot the exact name, but it's definitely not the regular black boba. The drink was pretty good. It wasn't overly sweet, and I liked how the peach flavor blended nicely with the tea. You could still taste the tea instead of the peach flavor completely overpowering it. DA HONG PAO MILK TEA The second time, I ordered the Da Hong Pao Milk Tea with the same chestnut topping. This one was decent as well. Nothing crazy or mind-blowing, but still an enjoyable milk tea. OVERALL Both times I came here, I had a good experience. I'm giving CHAYAN 4 stars because while none of the drinks really "wowed" me, they were still good enough for me to consider this place above average overall. Friendly staff Nice and quiet atmosphere Drinks aren't overly sweet Good tea flavor Easy ordering with kiosks or at the counter The drinks just need a little more of that "wow factor" for me to give this place a full 5 stars. Will definitely come back again and try some of their other drinks!

It was nice with plenty of seats still available. There were two entrances and was easy to find. The baristas were friendly as my fiancé ordered for us. I got their yuzu espresso tonic coffee. I am always looking for the sweetness as espresso and tonic are definitely a bitter combination and I think it was on the sweet side, but it was a good sweet. It seemed house made. We also got the croffle and it was delicious. Definitely would come again to try out their other drinks.

I also appreciate that they rotate seasonal flavors like ube and hojicha, which keeps me coming back to try something new. While I agree with other reviews that the prices are on the higher side, I think it's worth it for the quality and flavor. If you're a matcha fan, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. It's easily my go-to spot for matcha soft serve.

I also ordered the banana matcha latte once, but it came out to almost $10 after tax, which felt pretty pricey for what you get.

If you're craving matcha ice cream, I'd recommend stopping by--just be prepared for the higher prices.

They currently have a special for a 0.99 cent drink if you download their app and order online, along with 4 additional coupons for 30% off (which I should've checked before I added a second drink to my order at regular price). There were so many options to choose from and they all looked so good! They have fruit teas and frappes too! I decided on the Coco Cotti (recommended by the employee) and the Cloud Mousse Blue Coco Latte (both hot). The Blue Coco Latte was delicious and tasty, I really liked the mousse foam on top. The employee said the blue color of the latte comes from the sugar they use. Unfortunately the Coco Cotti was disappointing. All I could taste was a faint hint of the coconut milk, barely any coffee flavor. I already suspected that the drink would be milked down when I opened the lid and saw how pale the drink was. I went home and pulled a shot of espresso and added it to my cup and luckily that improved the drink. The next time I stop by I'll be trying the Toffee Hazelnut series - that looks good!

I went at 2PM on Thursday to give the Pampas Blue Coconut Coffee a try ($4.99). You can choose between full and half sweet. The full sweet was perfect, and the coffee/coconut flavor was balanced. The price is quite reasonable for a ~16oz drink as well. However there is no seating and there isn't really anywhere to hangout around in the plaza either.
