    Beautiful location!

    Love the location for its modern design and friendliness. I visit LA time to time after living here for several years, and this location--I would always walk to. Now I come inside as a visitor, but love it. The service is considerate and fast! Also, for açaí enthusiasts I usually get theirs over other chains because it's a good brand they use and organic. I'm pretty picky.

    Joanna was very sweet with taking my order and the Pistachio Frappe was delicious! 10/10 would recommend

    Taro milk tea

    Great service, always consistently delicious and service is always very good! My go to drink is the coconut watermelon slush, it's always on point. Today I decided to try the taro milk tea and the double mango smoothie and both are absolutely delicious . The ambiance is nice, I don't normally sit in because I take my order to go but the place always looks and smells clean and ever since I started working in this area I come here at least a few times a month. Definitely recommend and the workers are really nice too!

    Fresh Milk Tea X-Large extra boba and it

    I love this place! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The place is cozy and has seating. There's lots to choose from. I usually got their Thai Tea X-Large extra boba and it is fantastic. Their House Milk Tea is also great for something less strong than Thai Tea and I get it half sweet and half ice. Their Jasmine Tea Float and Thai Tea Float is also perfect for hot days because of the ice cream. Definitely recommend!

    I ended up getting a Thai tea, smoothie Boba, that one is my favorite and it's my go to so I get it every time. But then I also got three macaroons., I ended up getting the green tea, coffee, vanilla flavor. The macaroons tasted like it was there for a week. It tasted like it was sitting in the fridge open, and the texture was off. I love macaroons, but these were not my favorite. I don't think I will be getting them again. The service was nice. The employees were welcoming. It was nice on the inside, but I don't think I'd sit down in there

    Extra large black milk tea with no ice (it was a full cup when I got it) + extra charge for no ice.
    Mike Y.

    There are 12 boba drink places around my workplace on Figueroa/7th St. that I've made it my mission to try every one when I'm working at the DTLA office. I appreciate that I can get an extra large drink to share (or not if you're super thirsty) but a dollar extra if I ask for "no ice"? No mention of the extra cost by the cashier so I was rudely surprised when I got my receipt. My extra large black tea with boba at 75% sugar and no ice tasted watered down and unexceptional. Pass.

    CHAGEE Modern Teahouse is a modern Chinese tea concept that focuses on tea-forward drinks rather…read morethan the typical overly sweet bubble tea experience. We walked into a polished, contemporary space with a premium feel, the kind of place that feels closer to a specialty tea café than a traditional boba shop. The branding, presentation, and overall atmosphere are a big part of the appeal, creating a space that feels designed for both grabbing a drink and hanging out. The interior is clean and intentional, with a design that elevates the experience beyond a typical tea stop. The biggest strength of CHAGEE is the tea quality. The drinks tend to highlight the actual tea flavor, which makes them stand out from many milk tea shops that rely heavily on sugar or toppings. The jasmine-based drinks are a good example, with a fragrant floral profile that comes through clearly without being perfumed. The menu has a nice balance between classic milk teas and more unique tea creations. The drinks are generally less sweet and more focused on the tea itself, so it works well for anyone who wants something different from standard boba. The downside is that the drinks can feel a little expensive compared to other tea shops, especially since most of the appeal comes from the quality of the tea rather than large portions or lots of toppings. The portions are reasonable, but the cost reflects the premium positioning of the brand. The main issue with CHAGEE is consistency and wait times. Some locations can get extremely crowded, and the popularity sometimes creates long lines that make the experience less convenient. The ordering process is usually organized, but the wait can be difficult to justify when the final drink is more of a solid tea experience rather than something completely unique. Service is generally friendly, and the staff seem well trained despite the busy environment. They handle the flow efficiently, but the volume can test the operation's capacity. CHAGEE feels like a premium tea shop aimed at people who appreciate the flavor of tea itself. It is not necessarily the place to go if you want a dessert-like boba drink loaded with toppings, but it is a good option for jasmine tea, oolong, and more refined milk tea flavors. The atmosphere and presentation add to the experience, though the long waits and higher prices may determine whether it becomes a regular stop or just a place to try once. For what it does, it executes the concept well, offering a drink that feels more like a tea experience than a sugary treat.

    I wanted to give Chagee a try because of all the hype, but overall, I found it just okay…read more One of my biggest frustrations was that some drinks don't allow you to customize the ice level or sweetness, which is something I generally expect from a tea or boba shop. Being able to adjust a drink to your personal preference is a big part of the experience for me. The store itself is beautiful and clearly designed with social media in mind. It's stylish, modern, and definitely very Instagram-friendly. However, it felt like the focus was more on the branding and aesthetics than on the tea itself. The drinks were decent, but nothing particularly memorable. If you're looking for a trendy spot to take photos or see what the buzz is about, it might be worth a visit. But if you're a serious tea drinker or looking for what I'd consider a true boba tea shop experience, I probably wouldn't recommend it as my first choice.

Sunright Tea Studio is so welcoming and gives off such a sweet and festive ambiance. The studio is so spacious and has a beautiful Christmas tree in the center with area for sitting. We ordered our drinks from the kiosks and we're still able to communicate with the 2 baristas. The baristas were great and helpful in recommending their specialty coffee and milk tea drinks. We ordered the Signature Iced Coffee, Strawberry Matcha Latte, Chocolate Oreo Brûlée and Chocolate Oreo Frostie. The Signature Iced Coffee is a Vietnamese Highland double blend while the Strawberry Matcha Latte is premium matcha from Japan with 4 seasons oolong tea layered with organic milk and fresh strawberries. The Chocolate Oreo Frostie on the otherhand is a rich yet refreshing chocolate ice-blended frostie infused with a generous scoop of crushed oreos. So good! Last but not least, the Chocolate Oreo Brûlée is a velvety chocolate latte swirled with creme brulee foam and served with crushed Oreos. This is one is good yet it's too sweet for me. Can't wait to try other milk tea and specialty coffee drinks on their menu next week/

The biggest complaint I have unfortunately was the inside was very dirty! None of the menu screens were on, one kiosk was out of order, under the seating was very very dirty almost looks like mold. There are supplies everywhere as if there is no storage area. This place looks like maybe at one time it was packed with customers and well kept up but now literally looks VERY UNKEPT! Truly unfortunate because the drinks are amazing. I'd probably come back and hopefully next time around it's cleaner inside! Anyway here are some pics of the amazing drink I had!
