Chaca Tea Bar

A lovely little boba shop I always stop at when I’m in Redlands! If you’re local/frequently visiting, they have punch cards available, and you get a free drink after purchasing 10. My go-to order is the brown sugar milk, but they have tons of seasonal options available that I’d recommend trying if you’re more adventurous than me. Last time we went, they were about to close, and accidentally forgot one of our drinks, but they were very apologetic and made it super quickly after we reminded them. Service is always 10/10

We did a quick stop on our way home here and found this tea shop by chance and it was so good. I had a strawberry tea, with fruit chunks (strawberry) and popping boba. It was so refreshing. I haven't seen of a boba tea spot that does this where I live and I loved it. My only regret was not getting a bigger size and more photos to do the drinks justice.

With so many boba spots in Redlands, Chaca Tea Bar is a bit more tucked away. It’s located in the Citrus Village Shopping Center, which makes it less central compared to most places that are closer to downtown or the main plazas. Still, it’s definitely worth checking out. They’ve got a nice variety of milk teas, flavored teas, and other drinks. The prices are pretty fair, and I like that they offer different sizes…12oz, 24oz, and even 32oz, which is great if you’re really thirsty. I got the matcha milk tea, and it was actually really good. The matcha wasn’t too strong, so you could still taste the milk tea, and it wasn’t overly sweet either. I don’t usually get boba, but since it was my first time here, I decided to try it. I was pleasantly surprised. The boba was chewy but not rubbery, had a nice texture, and it actually had some flavor to it. The shop was clean, and the staff were super friendly. They answered all my questions and helped me decide what to get. I came by not long after they opened, so it wasn’t too busy, which made for a chill experience. Overall, it’s a solid spot. If you’re in the area, definitely give it a try

Not sure why there was a line out the door. The "special" was just iced tea? Got two "smoothies" for my kids that didn't seem to have any real fruit in them, equivalent to what we could get at the Fiesta Village Dairy Queen. There was nothing else nearby so we stopped in. I'm disappointed in the crowd of young people not thinking twice about all that plastic waste that ends up in the ocean. Consider bringing your own cup for an iced tea, it keeps it colder and you can skip the microplastics in your body. Their prices were reasonable. I'm clearly too old for this trend of pure liquid sugar with a little bit of tea or coffee. I'm glad the high-schoolers have a safe place to hang out.

This place is a staple for my wife and I. We come here at least once a week and get a milk tea with Boba and a Thai iced tea with Boba. We love it! All of the staff is always very friendly and the Boba is delicious. So glad this place opened up because the other option in town was not that great. We will be coming here for a long time!

Outstanding customer service. Usually before closing, you get pushback or attitude from staff. I got there around 8:50 and I was greeted with smiles and such a positive attitude. Very rare nowadays. Their iced spice thai tea is amazingggg! I definitely recommend. This is my new favorite boba spot!

I walked in and saw Asian employees, I knew it was gonna be good. A nice surprise in a far off place where I least expected a quality boba shop. I drink boba everyday (unfortunately for my inevitable encounter with the Diabetes), but for now, I feel like I'm a boba expert. I travel to every spot imaginable for boba even though I live within walking distance to 10 boba shops without even having to cross a street, and about 20+ within 2 miles of my house. To say I'm surrounded by boba is an understatement. So when I found Chaca on the way home from playing golf in Beaumont, I decided to try it. Literally been back there 3x in 10 days. The slushies are good, the boba is warm and soft without being too soft. Good texture. Drinks are what I'd expect. No foods though. I don't think they have a kitchen, but if they sold popcorn chicken, I'm sure it'd be good too. Definitely recommend this spot over some others in the IE that I won't mention.
