Best boba in town at Cha for Tea

If you're ever craving a good boba drink (or a drink with "Pearls" or "tapioca"), then you should definitely check out one of my favorite hot spots in Long Beach, Cha for Tea.

At Cha for Tea, every drink is adjustable to your liking, just ask! They don't mind. In fact, it's part of their mission that you love the tea that you're drinking. 

"Let me know if you need any adjustments," is a phrase you will hear with every order of your drink. In fact, that's their "phrase that pays".  I never had anyone not say that to me when I'm getting my drink.

But their teas aren't the only things that keep me coming back. The thing that adds value to this tea house is the people. Their customer service is just outstanding. They are friendly and attentive. 

Every time I walk into that place, one or all of them will shout out "Welcome to Cha!" Someone always tries to acknowledge you the moment you walk in the door, even when it starts to get really busy, which is, like, every time I go in there. 

Not only does Cha for Tea have great tea and great customer service, they also offer entrees and appetizers and.... wait for it.... free Wi-Fi, that one redeeming quality I look for in all my favorite coffee and tea houses.

Of all my favorite Wi-Fi hot spots in Long Beach, Cha for Tea definitely makes the top five in my book, simply because they've just got the best all-around package in town. Drinks. Food. Internet. I'm happy. 

Oh, and every time you buy a large drink in cash, you can buy a movie ticket for eight bucks. 

Cha for Tea is located at 5720 E. Seventh Street. They have two other locations in Irvine and Alhambra. For more info on Cha for tea, simply visit their website.

And in case you were wondering about what most people order, here's the Cha for Tea Top 5 for you.
