" This is my secret spot for delicious boba tea! The atmosphere is vibrant with lots of chatter, but the drinks make it all worth it. I tried their signature milk tea and it was delightful! I appreciate how they offer mix-ins and toppings. It's slightly cramped, but I usually take it to go. Definitely recommend the honey milk tea! " (*Curated Review*)

" There's just something utterly satisfying about a fresh cup of boba from Cha For Tea! I ordered their classic milk tea and it was instantly a hit! The boba pearls hold their texture well, and the drink is so smooth. The staff were busy but still friendly when taking orders. I definitely recommend this spot for all boba lovers out there! " (*Curated Review*)

" For the best boba experience, be sure to check out Cha For Tea! Their mango green tea is out of this world! I felt like celebrating with every creamy sip. The customer service was good—friendly and quick despite the crowd. It can get a bit loud due to the buzz, but it adds to the lively atmosphere. This is what a relaxed boba place is all about! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious drinks, great service, but good luck finding a seat! I enjoyed the almond milk tea the most; it's creamy and delicious, though you definitely need to specify your sweetness level. During my visit, the store was buzzing with activity, which might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I thrived in that environment. Highly recommend stopping by if you can! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to Cha For Tea for years and it remains my absolute favorite spot for boba in Irvine. The variety of flavors, especially their mango green tea, always leaves me wanting more. Their prices are affordable, which is great for us students. The staff, while sometimes busy, always try to serve you as quickly as they can. A must-visit if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cha For Tea is such a great concept! I enjoyed their drink options that allowed me to experiment with different sweetness levels. I’m a big fan of the mango and lychee flavors! The staff was friendly but a bit overwhelmed during busy hours, which might be expected for such a popular spot. I would still slot this in as one of my top go-to drink places in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" When it comes to boba drinks, Cha For Tea definitely knows how to keep their customers happy! The space might be small, but the drinks are outrageously good. They use high-quality ingredients and real tea, which makes a difference. A big shoutout to their friendly staff who handled the rush efficiently. This place is definitely a hidden gem!
