This place is truly amazing with their beyond yummersful drinks, boba options and friendly staffers!! Crazy that I hadn't noticed it in my own neighborhood for an entire year?!‍ lol... The ambience is relaxing with the perfect volume of meditation/massage type music in the background! Love the anime animal characters on the walls. I've been coming here 3x weekly since April!!‍ Gotta stop...make it only 3x a month!! For MY palette, their "homemade" honey boba is perfectly sweetened and has the perfect hint of honey essence and chewy-ness to it‼ I'm 98% of the time greeted with friendly smiles and helpful hints, when they're not slammed!! Their wall note says take a picture of yourself at your visit, email it to them and they'll post it on their in-store wall. They really did... YAAAAAY‼ My goal is to taste-make it thru their entire tea drink menu and find a few more favorites!! Thanks, Wonder Cha, for a new tea home!!~Olivia read more

Wonder Cha Tea Place - Kyoto Matcha Tea+Honey Boba & ME - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went here for the first time today and was so happy with my drink! Love their options for both tea choices as well as add ins. I got the hojicha tea at 50% sweetness with boba and salt cheese foam and it was absolutely perfect. There's a handful of places to sit and enjoy your drink, including if you want to stay for a little longer to work. Parking was fine when I went (midday during the week)- plenty of available spots, though I imagine it could be hit or miss on availability depending on when you go. Looking forward to going back and trying more drinks! read more

|[ t h a n k u ]| 4.5 rounded up. As a huge lover of milk tea with no added sugar and milk substitutes (nondairy creamer has too much fat content for my liking), I am so happy this place offers both while still maintaining tea flavor in their drinks. Tried the golden roasted oolong MT with crystal agar boba and no added sugar, almond milk and it was not bad, reminds me of a light herbal drink actually. I would love for the tea flavor to be even stronger and for grass jelly as a topping option. But not a bad option for MT w real tea and healthier customizations, though pricier than I'd like lol. Bonus: they have lactase as an add on option for all the lactose intolerance peeps! xD |[ e z ]| Easy kiosk order, cute calming ambiance feels like a studio ghibli movie xD can't wait to try more of this place when I'm in the area again! Service quick efficient. Small lot in front of small plaza. read more

Delicious! We have been here since it opened and it has become one of our favorites. Consistent and the boba is the perfect texture and flavor. The space is small and quiet. You order on the screen and a person calls your name when it's ready. The Instagram flicker thing is pretty neat too. I love how you can send them your photo and they'll post it on their board. Excited to have them in our community and hope it stays!! read more

Wonder Cha Tea Place - Ruby Red Black tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a nice anime inspired drink place. Small and cute layout. Anime artwork is line against the walls and there is some seating. There is a wall of the many customers and some pets lol. Good sign of their local customer base and what they mean to the community. Parking is decent and we found a spot easily on a Friday afternoon. There's a good amount of choices. I ordered the Tiramisu duo latte. It was good but tbh, too sweet for me but worth coming back to try it at 75% sweetness. I usually have my drinks at 75% to 50% sweetness but I like to try first time drinks without changes. This spot is worth checking out the other drinks as well. Thank you! read more

Very sad that I didn't enjoy my drink - golden roasted oolong milk tea. Got it 25% sweet with house milk (lactose free). It really lacked the tea flavor. Was super light. I should have tried something else, might have been better. Interestingly, they offer lactase enzyme tablets as an add-on for only 50 cents in case you're lactose intolerant. First time seeing this at a cafe! The boba was not bad. Not too soft and not too hard. They also have blind boxes as an add-on for an additional $10. They're super cute! Service was great and didn't have to wait too long. Glad that they don't put too much ice for less ice. The interior is my fav! Love the vibes and beautiful artworks displayed. It's a tiny cafe and the parking lot is also tiny. All the spaces are 30 min but the staff said it's not really an issue to stay longer. Dog friendly. I would go back to try other drinks, maybe one of their more popular ones. read more

Ambiance is the only reason giving 2 stars. I've been to a lot of tea places, the inside is cute but the drinks are mid. I got the Thai tea, it was powdery and just tasted like sugar, wouldn't recommend for actual good quality tea. read more

The Thai Brûlée latte was so good. The Thai cold foam top was delicious. The Thai tea was a little weak, but it was still really good! read more

Head to UPS to do your Amazon returns and grab a drink right next door! There's a small parking lot for the drivers but in this case we walked cause we're better than that. Lactose intolerant? Not me. But if you are, they have the option to provide you one. What other business do you know does this? The interior is clean, might I say, pretty dust-free? My mom would be proud. They have a manga library to introduce you to the world of manga. Service is great, the baristas are super friendly. They had to make a new batch of boba and let us know in advance if the wait time was okay. They can also make any adjustments afterwards if needed. The drinks are yummy. I like the chocolatey flavor in the Tiramisu and I wanted something with a little coffee in it. I got 75% sweet but I should've gotten 50%. I'm already sweet enough, I guess. It would be really cool if the Tiger drink had tea in it. I know the standard recipe doesn't have tea in it but maybe this would be a unique drink to draw some customers in. We'll be back! :) read more

I've been going to Wonder Cha 3+ times a week for several months now, so I feel like I've gotten a really good sense of the consistency of the drinks. Unfortunately, as much as I love many of their drinks, they can be very inconsistent. I almost always order the Tiramisu Duo Latte, and some days it's very watered down. Other days, I can only taste coffee and water; sometimes it's too strong; and occasionally, it's perfect. There used to be a barista named Patricia working here and she was amazing at making all the drinks consistent and high quality. She mentioned to me that ordering no ice requires them to fill the rest of the cup with water. Thank you to Patricia for sharing that, because my entire reason for ordering "no ice" is that I hate when drinks get more watered down as I drink them. When you order "no ice" here, you actually get the opposite effect. I would much rather have a fill-up fee or simply leave room in the cup than receive a watered-down version of a drink I love. The reason I'm giving Wonder Cha a 4/5 instead of the usual 3/5 I would give for drink inconsistencies is because the owners are beyond kind and helpful. Additionally, the baristas I've gotten to know--who genuinely care about forming connections with their regulars--keep bringing me back. Wonder Cha is special because of the incredible attention to detail in the decor, music, seating, and reward system. Seriously, the reward system has to be one of the best and is a big reason I keep coming back. I've been trying to branch out with drinks since my usual favorite has become unreliable. The Ube One is really delicious, both with matcha and coffee. I also really love their classic milk teas--they're very refreshing, and I can tell they're made from real tea leaves, not powders (I appreciate this so much). I've introduced about 4-5 people to Wonder Cha now, and I love coming here with friends--it truly is a special place. My biggest recommendation to the owners, as someone who has worked at a small tea shop before, is to really aim for consistency in drink preparation by using measuring cups and/or food scales, and to listen to your employees. Employees like Thaniel, one of the longest-standing team members, who is great at making drinks and very personable, can offer valuable insight into what needs to be adjusted as the business continues to grow. The employees behind the counter every day are incredibly valuable for that reason. read more

Had a sample of the hojicha and immediately had to get the full size. They describe the flavor as nutty, smoky, and chocolatey--and it totally is. The workers are so friendly (offered us the sample!) and the cafe's aesthetic is so cute. It feels so cozy. PLUS they're open late! W read more

This is our 3rd time coming in the last few months, and it has been consistently amazing. Our tea is more like a sweet treat once we add boba and the creme brûlée topping, but it's worth every calorie (The brown sugar drizzle is to make it look pretty)! Each visit we were treated with kindness. In our first visit, the young lady was patient with us while we asked our questions. She gave us suggestions and offered us samples. We hit it out the park the first time and we keep coming back. The honey boba is made fresh throughout the day (once there was a bit of a wait for it), and the creme brûlée gives the milk tea a deliciously creamy texture. There are about 6 tables inside that is typically filled with someone working on their laptop, and the atmosphere is overall cute and quaint. Parking lot is small, but we have always been able to find a spot. 10/10 - We will be back again read more

The cutest little tea shop in a Palms strip mall! When you walk in there are a ton of instagrammable nooks, like the instagram counter that updates in real time as the follower count grows. You'll also notice the tablets where you can place your order or ring a bell for direct service. I ordered the almond-milk ($0.65 up charge) ceremonial matcha latte at 25% sweetness (not their recommended 75%) without any add-ons like boba. The price was around $8 with tip. The matcha was just okay. There are probably other places I would get matcha from, but I'm interested in trying the box cake so I'll definitely be back! read more

A good value boba spot! It's hard now to find boba at a decent price. Sometimes they're like $10. But not this spot! It was like $6, maybe $7, with high quality tea and flavors. I've been here twice now and am pleased with it every time. You order at a kiosk at the front, and then they'll make it in the back and call out your name for pick up. I ordered the Rising Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea with boba at regular sweetness level. DELICIOUS! I love a good oolong tea and this did not disappoint. Service was fast and drinks were good. Definitely a regular spot for me! read more

Wonder Cha Tea Place - Rising Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea with Boba and a Fruity Tea Drink (can't remember which) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Was very excited to hear about this new location in Culver City, and the reviews seemed promising, so of course I had to try it out! I ordered the jasmine milk tea, half sugar and with boba. This tea was described as "crisp, floral, and refreshing". I think the descriptions are spot-on! I enjoyed the taste of this tea. The boba was also on the chewier side, but I do prefer this over a boba that is too squishy and soft. Some things to note: The drink ended up being $8, which is a little too steep for what it is. I think something that could implemented is an option to add half boba for half of the price. I'm someone that wants boba, but the usual scoop seems to be too much for me. I would come more often if the prices were more affordable. Most people order on the kiosk located right next to the counter, and I only saw the worker come out when the drinks are ready to be served. I did notice that both the workers emphasized that if we would like any adjustments to the drink, they're able to do that for us. I thought that was nice. The plaza is located in a small parking lot, so there may or may not be spots open but there is a fast turnaround. Something I really enjoyed about this shop are the decorations. The colors of the store are nature-themed with light wood floors. There were a few groups studying as well, which is nice. Overall, I would come more often if their prices were more affordable. read more

I was excited to see another boba shop in the neighborhood. The parking lot is small and shared with a few other businesses, so could be tricky if you're going at a higher trafficked hour. It wasn't too crowded on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the Citrus Kumquat Jade Tea, I was really impressed with the speedy service. I really enjoyed how citrusy the drink was, I couldn't taste the kumquat. The boba was a bit on the harder side. As a fruit tea drinker, there were only 4 options. Hoping in the future they would add more. I'll definitely be back to try the other teas! There also offered a bunch of little desserts that I would liked to try as well. read more

Looooove this place! Got the strawberry Sakura (seasonal) & hojicha latte and both offered options like oat milk with them. I appreciated the fact that they offered samples (today's was Jasmine & Hojicha) and that it's an easy kiosk for ordering. The co-owner that put out the samples (I wish I got her name) was very friendly and you could tell she takes pride in this tea spot. It does remind me of Japan and hitting up their cafes. I am so happy it's local and filled with delicious, high quality tea options and wishing this place much longevity and good business! Thank you and I'm coming back!! :) Btw- both drinks mentioned = 5/5!!!! (Love that you can adjust the sweetness level too!) read more

It is a pretty decent boba place with a lot of different options! I got oolong milk tea with honey boba and 0% sugar modifications and personally, I thought it was a perfect combination as the tea itself was not too sweet. The boba was very soft and chewy too and depending on how you like your tapioca boba, you might find this boba chewier than other boba shop. Personally, I wasn't a fan of how much chewier this is but I can't complain as the drink itself with 0% sugar blended perfectly with the sweetness of the honey boba. Overall, would probably go again especially if I'm close by! Service-wise, they had pretty friendly staff! Ambiance, I wasn't able to stay much to gauge the vibes it gave off. Great Boba spot overall read more

Another solid boba tea option in Culver! We love to see it. While their menu isn't as extensive as some, what they do, they do well. My favorite drink is the Ruby Red Milk Tea, 50% sweet, with Honey Boba. The tea itself is delicious and super high quality and the boba has the perfect chewy bite to it. I do wish they had more black tea options because a lot of the speciality drinks are made with jasmine tea, which is a little too floral for my taste. But the service is great and quick, the decor is awesome (shoutout to the Pikachu but there are some other standout pieces), and they even have a cute wall with photos of pets who have visited! I'd still say that Latea is my favorite boba in the area, but Wonder Cha is definitely up there too. read more

A cute little tea spot in Palms. I tried their Golden Roasted Oolong Milk Tea (without the milk and no sugar) and Mango Jasmine Tea (25% sugar). While both tasty, I look forward to trying other teas. I liked their quick service, anime art decor, tablet ordering system, and their free samples. 100% satisfaction guaranteed if you're not happy with your drink. Parking can be limited, if you're lucky you'll find a spot or else there is street metered parking on your side street. read more

Seemed like all of sudden The Milk Tea hype just made its return with flourishing new shops recently. Wonder Cha wasn't an exception, and I felt like less crowd inside the shop at my time of visit didn't give justifce to how great their tea was!! More than that, they actually even offered plus points with plenty of spaces to sit, wifi, and dedicated parking space; which weren't that common in similar milk tea shops where mostly only served to-go purchases. Having my first sip, I could straightly tell that their tea was certainly great quality one and I loved how bold the tea flavor stood out. They also served different kinds of dairy milk subsitutes, which weren't always available in others. The big cup size was doubtlessly justifying the price and taste was top notch. I really recommended their Golden Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with 75% sugar. I ordered the hot one but ended up putting it in fridge as I couldn't finish it in one sit, and actually found myself preferred the cold version. I would for sure come back for other drinks on their menu and the next one I have been eyeing's their Hojicha Roasted Green Milk Tea. read more

I go here because my wife loves their drinks! They offer a mini drink for a discounted price which was nice because we are trying to limit our sugar intake and it is a pretty good deal! I've tried their seasonal Chai and ordered it extra strong and spicy. Very good. Also tried their lychee drinks, tiger milk milk tea, cocoa slush, etc and dang... all bangers! The anime vibes are also appreciated, it's a relaxing and tastefully done decor! Service? Top notch. They're always nice and helpful, and do accommodate less sweet! read more

Ordered the kumquat tea without sweetener since there was a disclaimer the concentrate is sweet. I enjoyed the drink. It was $7.50. There were about 5 tables and all wooden seats. Open late night so maybe it's a study spot. There's free WiFi and two kiosks to order from. Plant based milks are oat (oatly) and then it said almond milk (not identified) both upcharge). There's lactose free milk and whole milk if you prefer (free). Would come back especially since latea in downtown culver closed. read more

Surprised by the quality of the taro milk tea here-- can't say it was amazing, but it was on the lighter side and very good. Will have to come back again for more of the usual drinks to see how it is? Service was quick and the ambiance tried hard to be cute and comfortable, and mostly succeeded. Not sure they have the brand appeal of the more popular chains, but fingers crossed for them. read more

Wonder Cha Tea Place - Outside. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here on a Saturday during soft opening. I pre-ordered online so it was a quick pick-up especially as there were plenty of open parking spaces in the lot in front. I ordered the Citrus Kumquat Jade Tea. This one had great fruit flavor, not sure I got much tea flavor but not as big a deal since it was a fruit forward tea. Also ordered the Hojicha Roasted Green Milk Tea with honey boba. Was a bit disappointed in this one. I really feel like i didn't get much tea flavor, especially since it was supposed to be a roasted tea flavor. Also, the drink just tasted watered down. I like to add water to my milk teas when I only have about a quarter left (so it lasts longer lol) but this one tasted kind of like extra water had already been added. The honey boba was nice and chewy but felt a little too soft to me. I'm not much of an actual boba/tapioca pearl person though so it might just be me. I tried it since it was free during the soft opening weekend. All that said, this place is now probably the closest tea shop to me and has a parking lot so I'll probably be coming by again though I might stick to the fruit teas or have to try a straight tea. The inside was nicely decorated and fairly spacious for a tea shop on the westside. read more

Quality boba shop for culver to chill and chat! I loved the silken jade oolong tea for the floral and buttery notes.

The staff were friendly. Parking in the plaza is free with a 30 minute limit. read more

I am voting stoked this place opened here! I have been dying to have a tea place with cheese foam closer to me! It's very quiet inside, there are about 5 tables with bench seats/stools. They have free wifi, but NO public restrooms I saw two people studying/working from here. I ordered the seasonal Masala Chai made Bold and Spicy, with lactose-free house milk, No ice, 3/4 sweet (recommended), with added creme brulee topping. If you order any topping, be sure to sip it through the lid without a straw, so you get some of the foam/topping with each sip. The masala chia is made with powder, so when you ask for Bold & spicy, they add more. Since I got it cold, the powder seemed to settle a bit, so it was spicier when I got to the end, than at the start. If you're drinking with a straw you likely wont have this problem. But it's just something to be aware of, because when I tasted it from the top, I felt like it needed more spice, but at the end it was perfect. This tea place has a super cute inside-out design with plants and clouds. I love the vibe! They also have some manga you can rent out to read while you're there. You self order at the counter with a touchscreen, and then once your order is ready they call your name. On busy days, parking in the free lot may be an issue.I was able to find a spot around 19:30 on Saturday. I will definitely be back to try more! read more

Just make your order at the easy-to-use kiosk and the drinks come out really quickly! Not only were the drinks refreshing and tasty, the standout is that their house milk is lactose-free! That is one less place to carry my Lactaid around to. (Hooray!) And in case you are looking at a drink with non-lactose free milk, they also sell Lactaid. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area! read more

After visiting Wonder Cha several times over the past few months and having a great experience every time, I think it's time for a well-deserved review. I grew up spoiled on 626 area boba and tea so having Wonder Cha over on this side of town is definitely a treat. Definitely recommend their Tiramisu Duo Latte, 75% sweet. All the workers have been sweet and helpful. You can order on the kiosk inside with digital payments only. Only downside is that parking lot is small and the shop is located in a congested area of Culver City. read more

Such a great tea spot! I stopped in around 4pm and was able to walk up to the kiosk and order. There were a few tables inside but all full, so probably better as a take out spot.

Hoping their menu will expand a bit more in the future but the Jasmine and oolong teas are good. They sell more desserts here like domi cakes and fruit ice creams compared to other boba shops. They have a parking lot that gets a bit tight sometimes, but I'm usually able to find a spot. Glad to have more tea options in this part of town!! read more
