It was a self-order and they come out when your order is ready. We got the mango milk tea w/ black tea. 2/10 not a fan. Popping boba wasn't good and flavor wasn't good either. We also got a mango smoothie with strawberry popping boba which was ok. 6/10. I don't think we'd come back to this spot again.

Drink: I ordered a large peach green tea with boba, no ice,…read moreand it was fantastic. The tea was brewed beautifully , fresh, balanced, and not syrupy sweet like some other boba spots. The boba itself was perfectly chewy and just sweet enough to complement the drink, not overpower it. I also really appreciated that, even with no ice, they filled my cup completely to the top. Simple, thoughtful detail and it makes all the difference. Service: The staff here was genuinely kind and patient. I asked a few questions about sweetness levels and tea bases (I'm mindful about sugar intake), and they answered every one with care, no judgment, no pressure, no upselling. They made the drink exactly how I ordered it and didn't try to push other menu options on me. That respect and attentiveness go such a long way. Ambiance: Cha Community has such a warm, creative vibe, red brick walls, cozy coffeehouse energy, indie music, local art, and stickers that make the space feel personal and loved. The whole café smelled amazing, and you can tell they've put heart into the details. It's the kind of place that feels like a little pocket of calm and connection in the middle of the day. Overall: Highly recommend stopping here if you're in Waco. The experience was night and day, proof that quality, care, and consistency matter more than anything else. Refer to my Poppa Bear review if you want the comparison, but honestly, just come to Cha Community first.

I got hojicha latte with almond milk and no sugar and it was PERFECT on this 94 deg day. The hubs got matcha latte with oat milk and no sugar. He said it was refreshing! There's asian snacks available but grabbed lunch at the Franklin St location right before heading here. Def checkout the food there! I love that you can grab flowers here (Norma's) and they can put it together into a bouquet for you.

First time here. Wasn't our first choice but as we walked by, we decided to try it. I saw clay pot…read moreand wanted to try it since it was something different that I've never seen at a Vietnamese restaurant. Walked in, greeted by the server, she was very nice and recommended a few dishes. So far so good. One star for her. Here's where it went wrong. I'm thinking okay, lunch price was fairly decent so I ordered the lunch portion as I don't eat that much. Boy was I wrong. It was less than a cup of rice that was soaked in gravy sauce that was overly sweet. It was probably less than a cup of riced cooked. Wow, shock that you would charge $12 for that bowl. Not what I expected from a clay pot rice. My husband ordered the Pho and he said it was alright but one piece of mint is ridiculous and it was $20. Zero star for the food. The only reason I gave it another star is because of the music. We heard some Cambodian music. Not what I would hear in a Vietnamese restaurant but I'll take it since we're Chinese/Cambodian American. Would I return, most likely not.

Why only three stars? I averaged down as follows:…read more This place gets five stars for the taste of its food, which was truly outstanding. Obviously, that's very important. I had a pork banh mi sandwich along with a vermicelli pork, bowl and an extra eggroll. Without question, the best Vietnamese food I have had in Waco and this place would situate itself very well in a bigger city, such as Austin, based on the taste of the food. Simply delicious! But, portion size in terms of the meat was inadequate. Incredibly small portion of meat on the vermicelli pork although the overall dish was filling, I did not buy noodles and some veggies, I bought a pork dish. Same was true of the bahn mi sandwich. Not enough meat. Unfortunately, I would have to say that I do not believe this place offers good value for the money I n Waco, particularly for the pork vermicelli bowl.

The shop has a wide selection of teas, coffees, slushes, smoothies, and toppings to choose from. They also have poke bowls available that you can build/customize to your likings. You can either customize your own drink or pick one of the existing drinks on the menu. You can also adjust the ice and/or sweetness levels if you choose to do so, add toppings. We got the Oreo Milk Snow Ice, Mango Honey Snow Ice, and Brown Sugar Milk Tea (not pictured), and every drink tasted delicious. I'm actually surprised that they don't have more reviews.

I was intrigued by their Huey Lewis drink, so I decided to give it a try. Much like an Arnold Palmer (half lemonade, half sweet tea) this drink was half lemonade, half coffee. I liked it! It felt like Arnold Palmer's grown up cousin - less sweet, with more bold espresso taste. The barista was very kind and answered all my questions. I would definitely return!
