    Mango and strawberry smoothie. So delicious! Gotta try this place out

    My first time here, live in SCV so far from home lol Amazing place! Tasted wonderful. Would definitely go back again!

    Strawberry matcha & matchata
    Kc M.

    I've been going here from time to time and usually get the matcha or jasmine tea. This time, my mom tried the strawberry matcha, but it wasn't as good. It tasted a bit more sour than sweet and the strawberry didn't really complement the matcha. The service was pretty fast since we were the only ones there and it's still a good place to go for boba in Palm Desert. It's also a fun place to hang out since they provide board games. Thank you!

    Lots of fun and cool drinks. They still have seasonal drinks so my friend got a gingerbread chai...I think it was and she said it was delicious. I had the opt for something with no sugar and tried the roasted oolong, but that didn't taste great so they changed it for the Jasmine tea which was so much better and I got to enjoy that with my friend while we played Jenga and vibed out to the awesome playlist they were playing. There was one point where we both got up and started dancing a little bit... That was fun. Great service! We'll be back. The only downside is that there is no food or snack offered there what?!

    Strawberry Matcha with strawberry popping boba

    I was craving a Taro boba milk tea and tried this place for the first time. Everything looked so good so I got 2 drinks (one Taro and one Strawberry Matcha). I wish they had options to sample before buying. The Taro milk tea was amazing and I love the honey boba on the bottom. The strawberry matcha was recommended by the worker with the strawberry popping boba and it was not good. I usually love matcha but didn't like the earthy flavor. Also, the popping boba was not the same as traditional boba. Overall, I would go again. The place was really cute! While we waited they had games to play which was awesome while waiting! I will probably stick to getting my usual. Hope this helps

    Bree made me the absolute best matcha tea boba with just the perfect touch of sweetness. i'm a type 1 diabetic and she nailed it. thank you, Bree! 10/10

    When I'm in the desert visiting family I try and make a stop here. Tea be honest has been a favorite of mine for a while now. Service is awesome, staff is always warm and welcoming. I know they have opened up several new locations so it's nice to know they continue to grow! Their Thai tea is also delicious! Also their tea refreshments are always on point!

    Dirty Milk Tea with Boba & Crème Brûlée foam.

    This boba place is DELICIOUS and everyone is very friendly. So perfect for a nice treat my favorite is the Dirty Milk Tea with boba, 50% sweet & add the crème brûlée foam topping.

    Great drinks, well balanced in sweetness and flavor and most importantly, soft chewy honey boba. This was my first time here and so I tried their taro hokaido blended with boba , taro blended and strawberry milk tea with strawberry boba. This place has a bit more variety in boba flavors which was a nice change as most boba places I go just has honey boba or brown sugar. Loved the sturdy containers with a straw cap. Decor of the place could use some warmth and color but it was clean. I will return to try more flavors.

    Glad they have boba in palm springs! This one is located near thai restaurant, so we got our asian stuff all in one go. Pretty good for palm springs boba game. Average for la/sgv.

    The gal that helped us out was super sweet and friendly. It definitely felt inviting and I love the fact that the business shares its Asian owned so we were hopeful that the quality would be of great quality. The drinks were well made and I'm they did use fresh fruits for our drinks. The only reason I dinged them a star is the ambiance of the place. There were some displays of games, but no background music to bring up the atmosphere a bit. While waiting for our drinks, it just seemed a bit of a downer since there was nothing upbeat to the place. Other than that the boba was made fresh and quality was definitely there in the drinks

    Good customer service. Ordered the Honey Dew blended and Sweet Garden - both with added lychee jelly. Great drinks for a hot, desert day!

    The drinks have good flavor, lots of non-dairy alternative. However, the boba itself is a major letdown, overcooked and over soaked.

    Every time I call to order popcorn chicken, they say they don't have any. Any idea why this is kept on the menu when it has not been available for over 2 months?

    Hey, I actually just placed a call today after going through the same issue every time I would go. The person on the phone said they have discontinued the popcorn chicken from their menu.

    Does anyone know what the galaxy's series drink have in to besides the flowering of your choose?

    It's a jasmine green tea based mixed with your choice of flavoring with a splash of lemon. They add a layer of chia seeds and top it off with a butterfly pea herbal tea. You can also make the drink decaf if you'd like!

Thankfully tea shops have become more regular here in the otherwise asian treat deprived desert. Chakaa Tea Shoppe is located at "The River" which is a small outdoor shopping spot situated around a manmade 'river'. The location used to be a starbucks and is perfectly set up for a tea shop to take up residence. Now for the honest, the tea is about average, I do appreciate the ample ordering options of non dairy milks. This time I ended up getting a coffee with boba as my treat vs my normal tea order. The staff is always super friendly and helpful if you have any questions. The boba was also VERY good and well made vs some places that provided under cooked or over cooked boba. A coffee with boba and a small tip ran me up almost $10 which is a little expensive for my taste but it IS a treat after all and not an every day buy. Of all the times I've come into this location they always seem to be warm inside and prefer to not run the AC. I tend to sweat a little bit which is a bit of a drag considering that they have tons of seating. I probably wouldn't drive to the river JUST for boba but if I'm in the area shopping in need of a pick me up to go this would be a good stop.
