Hochaya is a tea store that offers an authentic menu, reminiscent of what you might find in Taiwan. They have a variety of drinks, with the sesame and sea salt foam with black tea being personal favorites. They provide non-dairy milk tea and only sell brown sugar boba after 4:00 p.m. The store can be a bit warm, and indoor seating is limited, but there is ample outdoor seating and Wi-Fi available.
The boba and tea offerings are generally good, with a solid range of flavors that aren’t overly sweet, which is appreciated. However, the boba has been noted to lack chewiness and freshness, and some customers described it as nearly flavorless. Service is primarily done through a kiosk, with cash payments being the exception.
In summary, Hochaya is a decent boba shop for the area, with a good selection of drinks and a cozy ambiance. Despite some concerns about boba quality and cleanliness behind the counter, it remains a recommended spot for boba tea lovers, especially for those looking for reasonably priced drinks.
