👍👍 New boba shop in town. Clean store, friendly staffs. I ordered Yunnan Milk Tea with regular sweet, it doesn’t taste as sweet like other stores, some people will like it since there’s no need to adjust sugar level. My friend ordered fruit tea but it lacked of flavors, wouldn’t recommend that yet unti... People often mention milk, drink, flavor,

    New boba shop in town. Clean store, friendly staffs. I ordered Yunnan Milk Tea with regular sweet, it doesn’t taste as sweet like other stores, some people will like it since there’s no need to adjust sugar level. My friend ordered fruit tea but it lacked of flavors, wouldn’t recommend that yet until they improve. Overall, it worths a trip to try Yunnan tea 🫖

    There is only one other customer in the store yet I’ve been waiting almost 20 minutes for my drink. In a place called EXPRESS. If it’s the best tea I’ve had in my life I’ll add more stars. There is only one staff member so I understand the slowdown but this is ridiculous. He could have told me it would take a while.

    Ordered on 9/15/2023 around 9pm The store was empty and with only one other group of customers inside, yet my order of 1 smoothie took over 20mins to make. To top it all off the workers there that night (female then male) seemed to be not too friendly but i can understand as they were holding down the place as a one person team. But ultimate i would like some communication as a customer if my drink is going to take an ungodly amount of time to make. Also the guy worker was a-hole for not letting a CUSTOMER use a chair outside without making a fuse. Like bro go handle your store. Drink was $6 and change but was worth like $3-4 max. Small cup and average flavor. Went inside to check it out since i was there for salju but i dont think i would be returning ever, should've just got salju (which was packed and still had faster lines). All around bad experience.

    We’ve placed an order in the morning to pick up the food at 2:35pm, we got there around 3:30pm the food was still not yet ready. The store was pretty empty and only one person working there. She told us that we still needed to wait 30 mins to get our food and it ended up that we asked for a refund. Extremely disappointing experience.

    Cha Express is another place that was recommended by my sister (thank you again Lupe!) and I am a fan. The selection of drinks that they offer is good; regardless of your preference, you will find something here and you won't be disappointed. My go-to drink at Cha Express is the milk tea with black rice. Before coming to Cha Express, I never thought of having rice as a topping in milk tea, but I loved it when I tried. The rice is not mushy and it complements the drink well. I saw that they also offer oats as a topping, which is something I will try next time I stop by. The staff at Cha Express are always very nice and helpful. They will give you recommendations based on what you like.

    Drink is good. Got the puff cream matcha it good, red bean matcha snow ice. Recommend if you like matcha. Puff cream bubble black milk tea is good there could adjust the sugar lvl and ice.

    There was a clear language barrier between the cashier and I. However, she was very friendly about the questions I had about the drinks, and they are also very well made. Definitely going back!
