    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 & matchata

    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!

    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

    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!

    Taro milk tea with boba

    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!

    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

    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.

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

    Brown sugar Messy milk tea
    Jasmin P.

    This little place was good. There was a long line but the girl was friendly and quick. Tried a couple of drinks the brown sugar was my fav. The dirty milk tea was pretty good too. The only reason that I'm not giving it a 5 is because it was super hot in there.

    Tea Be Honest, I don't recommend this place. We were so disappointed!! We specifically came here to try out new boba spots we haven't been to since we're not from the area and this was one of the top ones. Reviews and ratings were high and convinced us to come! They even had cute cups... but really, they're just all cup. We got there pretty early since we had a big day ahead of us and wanted to grab something for our trip. I still needed my coffee for the morning and settled on some kind of salted caramel cold brew since they didn't have very many selections, coffee-wise, on the menu. My bf usually gets the Hokkaido milk tea but they only had some kind of blended one with taro? He asked the young lady working there and she said they could do it. He went for their large cup since it was just so "extra" and out of the norm. It's a very tall and slim cup that is way bigger than your average large. We sat down and waited for our drinks which came out in a few minutes. I snapped some pics in front of their cute little vine wall decor up front and then started drinking it. It tasted like it had gone bad? I don't even know how to describe it. It tasted like there was no coffee at all, pure sweetness, and just overall tasted off. I even ordered extra boba because that's how I like it. The boba had a nice texture, nothing crazy but that's about the only good thing about the drink. I ended up not even taking another sip and dumping it out. I bought an iced latte from another cafe and added the boba into it to try to salvage it. It wasn't perfect, still had that weird flavor lingering but at least I could have some boba in my drink. My bf drank a bit of his but even that was pure sweetness. No tea. It had NO TEA. I'm not sure what kind of brew they use for their drinks, we noticed some said dairy free and we avoided those specifically because we've had bad experiences from other places that offered that. Something just isn't right. Maybe that's how most boba places are around here and that's what everyone is used to? So sad!! Y'all need to get better boba places out here. We're from LA where there are a ton of different ones but they're good and at least drinkable. Sad to leave a 1 star on a boba place. I really wanted to find one out here that I would like so we can visit again next time.. but definitely not coming back to this spot. :( IG: @ammysalamii

    Mrs. loved her tea from here. She loved it so much that we had to stop here twice during our stay! Thai Milk Tea ($4.55) is really good! Messy Creme Brulee ($5.25) was amazing. Ian and I had a good time sipping on this on our way back from Palm Springs. I highly recommend trying out their special drinks!

    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!

    This coffee is shockingly so good for being in a mall. My expectations were low but my coffee…read morecraving was so strong that I drove to the mall just for the coffee. They have a pretty creative menu with a lot of unique syrups and drink concoctions so it made it hard for me to choose. I asked the worker for her recommendations and she kindly explained the menu to me. I was sold when I heard about the cafe de olla being made in-house and fresh at that -- she pointed to the vat right behind her. So, I got the iced cafe de olla latte and it was the perfect sweetness with hints of spice that added flavor to the coffee. I would order this again and wanted to come back here the same day. There was no line when I went but they was a line forming when I was leaving. There's no seating area so it's more of a grab-and-go place.

    It was one of those mornings where you need caffeine before the world officially wakes up. I rolled…read moreinto the mall around 10:40 a.m., knowing the shops inside didn't open until 11. The funny thing? While the retail was still shuttered, the cafés and entertainment spots were already buzzing. That contrast -- empty storefronts on one side, the smell of fresh coffee on the other -- gave the whole place a quiet but inviting vibe. I walked into Xanti's and ordered two drinks: a strong macchiato (because sometimes you just need that punch) and a hot lavender matcha for balance. Total was $11.25, which felt more than fair. I tried paying with a $100 bill, but the barista politely explained they couldn't take it. No stress, no attitude -- just professional and smooth. Service really stood out here. The barista, a friendly guy with calm energy, not only took the order but noticed I'd settled into my phone at the table. A couple of minutes later, he personally brought both drinks over. That simple gesture made the experience feel way more personal than you'd expect from a mall coffee stop. As for the drinks? The macchiato was bold, clean, and exactly the kind of kick I needed. The lavender matcha surprised me -- creamy, floral, not too sweet, just enough to feel like a treat. Together, they struck a perfect balance: one to wake me up, one to slow me down. So yeah, it's technically "just" a coffee spot in a mall, but don't let that fool you. Between the timing, the vibe, and the barista's extra touch, it was one of those experiences that sticks.

The café is spotless, beautifully designed, and has such a relaxing atmosphere that you instantly want to stay a while instead of grabbing your drink and leaving. The baristas were incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They greeted everyone with a smile and made us feel like regulars, even though it was our first visit. You don't see that kind of hospitality very often anymore. The coffee was excellent, and the pastries were just as impressive. We tried the Honey Cake and the Bird's Milk cake, and both were fresh, rich, and absolutely delicious. You can tell they don't cut corners when it comes to quality. As an Armenian, I left with an even bigger smile knowing this place is Armenian-owned. It honestly made me proud to see a local business representing our culture with so much class, warmth, and professionalism. It's a beautiful reflection of Armenian hospitality. Cheers Coffee isn't just another coffee shop. It's the kind of place you look forward to coming back to. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Wishing the owners and the entire team nothing but continued success. You guys have built something truly special.
