    EARL GREY MILK TEA w boba (left), DOUBLE MATCHA (center), green grape milk tea w highland barley boba (right)
    Katie L.

    My friend said they'd been wanting to try here for a while, we went tgt today! We had the green grape milk tea with highland barely boba, earl grey milk tea with boba, and double matcha! I had been worried to try the green grape milk tea because I've only ever tried them separately and wasn't sure how a fruity creamy drink would taste, but it was soooooo good! My friends said they were glad they got the double matcha at 50% because it would've been too sweet if not The highland barley boba resembled more of a popping style boba, with a "wrapper" feeling. I personally prefer the texture of regular/honey boba, but the taste was rlly good The interior was gorgeous! And so cute to have Polaroid films of guests everywhere, though I wonder how you can achieve being pinned up there haha

    Ming Cha is a really solid spot and easily one of the better tea places in the area. The first thing you notice is the aroma--the tea smells incredible even before you take a sip. The drinks themselves are very tea-forward, which we personally love. You can actually taste the quality and depth of the tea rather than just sweetness, and that really sets it apart. We got their jasmine milk tea, and it's a standout for us. It's one of our personal favorites, and they executed it really well--fragrant, smooth, and balanced without being overly sweet. The space is very aesthetic--clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. It's a pleasant place to stop by, even if you're just grabbing something to go. Pricing is relatively reasonable for the quality you're getting. It's not the cheapest, but you can tell you're paying for better ingredients and execution. It is a self-service setup, so interaction with staff is minimal, but everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Overall, Ming Cha is a must-try if you're in the area. Great tea, great atmosphere, and a place we'll definitely be frequenting.

    I was passing through the city of Walnut and wanted to grab a quick drink. I loved this little boba shop! They sell a bunch of cute items like stickers and other merch, and the drinks were delicious. What stood out to me was that they offer unique boba options like highland barley and water chestnut, which were very interesting to try. I got the Ube Osmanthus and loved the taste. It was refreshing and not overly sweet. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

    Ming Cha in Walnut is definitely one of the most unique drink spots I've tried recently. The cheese foam is so smooth, creamy, and slightly salty, which pairs perfectly with the tea. Every sip has a rich flavor without being overly sweet. We all loved the matcha and black sesame drinks. The matcha tasted earthy and smooth, while the black sesame had a deep roasted nutty flavor. The ube foam was also super creamy with a light vanilla-like sweetness that made the drink extra special. I really loved the Cheesy Taro drink! The taro flavor was rich, smooth, and creamy with a natural sweetness, and the cheese foam on top made it even better. The slightly salty and creamy foam balanced perfectly with the sweet taro flavor. Such a unique combination and honestly so addictive! Definitely one of my favorite drinks at Ming Cha. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors My kids loved their drinks too, and we already want to come back to try more flavors! If you enjoy boba, milk tea, or creamy foam drinks, this place is definitely worth checking out. Friendly service, cute atmosphere, and lots of creative flavors to choose from! Free Parking!!

    Ming Cha is such a cozy cute cafe with lots of cute decor. The cafe is small but has some seating area and some board games to play with as well. Parking is shared with other businesses but there were enough areas for parking. The staff were super friendly and on point. Had assisted with some recommendations since we were quite indecisive with our choices because there were too many good options. Got to try: - Roasted Black Sesame - Jasmine Matcha - Omanthus Oolong Milktea - Mango White Peach! The drinks were light, refreshing, and wasn't too sweet; it paired well with the cream tops. Would love to try some of their other items in the future!

    My first visit was wonderful. I had to return for round two. Ming Cha is located within the Lemon Creek Village in Walnut. Free parking is available. I ordered via the self-ordering kiosk. It was very quick and easy. Ambiance was bright and clean. They have merch for purchase. No restrooms. This time around, I tried the Dubai Chocolate Latte which was amazing with the perfect amount of sweetness. I got it hot and it was the best! SO VERY GOOD!! Please let it cool down just a tad before drinking it. I got the Mango Yuzu Refresher for my eldest daughter. It was good, too, but not as great as the latte. Just a bit citrusy for our taste. I would get the latte again over the refresher for sure. Young man behind the counter was busy making the drinks. He was heads down most of the time. I didn't have any eye contact or interaction with him which was perfectly fine. I just grabbed our drinks when they were done. Thank you Ming Cha for coming up with some unique flavors and sharing with us! We'll be back!!

    Zero sugar and the black sesame cream blends well. Quick services. No line during daytime

    Decided to give this place another chance since they were having their BOGO. It's a very clean small place with no seating. There is plenty of parking since it's located in a plaza. As you enter the door, the tea smell is captivating. However, the drinks were okay; nothing spectacular which is how I felt the first time I came when it opened. I ordered the Earl Grey Milk Tea (less ice) and Yuzu Grapefruit (no ice) both half sugar. They were drinkable but tasted bland. The server was friendly but way understaffed especially during a BOGO event. I don't think 3rd time coming will be a charm.

    Service was excellent. The staff was friendly, patient, and took the time to answer questions and give recommendations without rushing me. It was small but very cute on the inside, with pictures of happy customers hanging everywhere. I tried the mango milk, white peach mango tea, strawberry matcha, and roasted black sesame. All of them were really good. The mango milk was not overly sweet, the white peach mango tea was refreshing, and the strawberry matcha was well balanced. The roasted black sesame was my favorite, rich and different than any drink I've had before. Everything tasted fresh and well made. I'd definitely come back.

    Discovered this place through a Yelp event. So glad I visited. Luckily it's in my neighborhood and has become my goto place for boba type drinks. Small but nice looking interior. They've decorated well with little knick knacks around the store. Servers here are very friendly and welcoming. Order through the kiosk and they'll start working on your drink immediately. So far all the drinks I've tried here are made well and delicious. They know how to use their foam gun! My favorite drink is the black sesame with barley boba. It's a different flavor that's hard to get anywhere else. You can really tastes the black sesame flavor in the foam - recommend mixing the drink before drinking. The barley boba is also different and not too sweet - which is to my liking. So glad this place is in my neighborhood. I end up going almost every week!

    OVERALL : When I walked into this shop and smelled the tea right away, I KNEW it was gonna be good! The shop was small and minimal, yet there were lots of people hanging out / chatting and enjoying their drink, which was a good sign. They're known for their tea-forward drinks and extra fluffy cloud tops that I've yet to see at any other boba / tea shop in my area. Service was fast + friendly and the self-ordering kiosks with photos of the menu items made it easy to order. I genuinely enjoyed every drink I got and am excited to come back and try more. They had some unique drinks that I don't know where else I would go to find! Bonus points for being not too sweet. PARKING : Small parking lot shared with other businesses in the plaza, but still many spots left on a Saturday afternoon. I did not have any issues w/ parking! FOOD/DRINKS : Double Matcha - matcha latte on bottom with matcha foam on top. Not too earthy, no clumps or powdery taste. 75% sweet was perf for me! Roasted Black Sesame - milk tea on the bottom was light and fragrant, loved the black sesame cloud and top. not too strong once mixed into drink though. 75% sweet Mango White Peach - Mango cloud with white peach tea, 75% sweet. The mango flavor just comes from the foam, but you can taste it slightly more if you mix it in. Lychee Osmanthus - frangrant with balanced lychee flavor, 50% sweet was perf Mango Jasmine Lassi - a very unique drink! creamy with strong mango flavor, but you can still taste the tea. 75% sweet

    Decided to give this spot a visit and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is cozy even though the store is small but it does have some seats and even some games if you're here with friends. I got 4 drinks: double matcha, lychee osthmanthus with lychee jelly, white peach oolong with boba, and the roasted black sesame milk tea We got all drinks at recommended 75 sweetness and it was the perfect amount. the drinks were light, not too heavy if you're looking for a post dinner sweet treat. My favorite was the lychee osmanthus and ryan's favorite was the black sesame. Mingcha is celebrating their one year anniversary with an event! From jan 24-25 they're having a BOGO deal and the first 100 guests on both days get to pick 2 free merch from pickleball paddles, tote bags, and more! so make sure to check them out for some yummy treats and fun goodies!

    A fairly new tea spot has opened here in Walnut and I have to say this is some pretty tasty tea at Ming Cha. You will need to order the tea at a kiosk, where a visible menu is displayed on the wall, as well as on the kiosk itself. I have been here twice and both times the tea was nice and you can select your preference on the sweetness level. I don't really like sweet teas so I think this is pretty good. They have a small seating area that you can chill in if you like old like.

    Do the lattes and milk teas contain diary? Is there a non-dairy option for us lactose intolerant people?

    We use our house milk which does contain dairy but we can replace it with oat milk which will be an extra charge.

    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!

The presentation of their fresh milk mochi (鲜奶麻薯) bowls and dip-and-stretch mochi desserts is undeniable--it makes for great photos, and the shop itself is super bright and clean. The stretchy texture of the milk mochi base was fun and delightfully soft, and components like the taro paste and purple rice had a nice, subtle sweetness. However, for the price point, the execution fell a little short. Some of the toppings felt under-prepared; the taro balls lacked that fresh, springy chewy elasticity you want in a shaved ice/mochi bowl, and the coconut jelly base tasted slightly watered down instead of rich. Logistics wise, the service was quite slow even though the store wasn't very busy, and parking in this Labin Court plaza can be a complete nightmare during peak evening hours. It's a solid place to stop by once for the aesthetic and novelty, but given the steep competition for Asian desserts in Rowland, it doesn't quite hit top-tier status for me.

The smooth, light, melt-in-your-mouth custard is nice and thick, so the ratio of custard to crust is like 15:1 (how it should be, in my opinion!). Pictures do it no justice--you absolutely have to try it. I tried it the next morning after refrigeration and microwaving for 22sec, and it was so delicious, I finished the entire piece! And now I'm super full. But it was worth it. They also have a chocolate version that I was considering, but opted to go with their most popular, which is yummy enough to go out of your way for. Also tried their floral quartet oolong milk tea with boba. Tea was ok but boba was lackluster, a bit too stretchy and not sweet enough. That custard pastry though, easily brings this spot up to 5 stars. Small shop just to place your order at the counter and leave with goodies. Cute bread themed interior: baguette door handles, a variety of bread squishies for the kiddos to play with while you order, and a large rolling pin light fixture above you. Do yourself and your friends and family a favor and bring home at least a few of the butter caramel tarts. They're each nicely packaged in a windowed bag with branded sticker, so they're easy to gift. And each one comes with a packaged glove with which to enjoy your treat and not have to wash your hands.
