This is for their afternoon tea at Cha-An. Honestly. This was the most disappointing tea food I've had in a long time. This was supposed to be a reservation for 2 people. Mind you in the reservation, it's stated as of each person has a choice of tea. Instead they said we were to only have one tea and share the teapot. For both of us. The focus was not the tea, but instead the variety of food items they list. Unfortunately, those menu items were stale or bland or just outright terrible. Some of the sweet items felt like they came out of a prepackaged sweets container. I'm really disappointed and will not recommend anyone to try this.

We did afternoon tea here. It was pricey, but a fun experience. The tea options were only 3. You have to pull out the tea bags or it will over steep! But, I like that it was not loose leaf tea in the pot. The savory items were my favorite. After $84 I did still leave hungry, lol. Lots of small desserts- they were unique. I was glad I tried it.

Yummy and cozy!

Cha-An did change a lot since our previous visit, sadly. The dishes were drastically overpriced, as tiramisu shrunk to 1/3 of the original size (last photo was the tiramisu cake from our last time visit). Tea and drinks were unsatisfied, tasting no difference than alkane water. Will for sure not come back again.

Beautiful space, choice of drinks and desserts. Really a heaven for a matcha lover like myself. Also, the staff makes this place special, especially Isa!

Listen, obviously this is a tea place. Tea is incredible, highly recommend the matcha tiramisu. But the water must have come from Mount Olympus itself. Never have I had something so smooth and delectable as the complimentary water served here. I can never go back to regular water after this. This place has ruined me in the best way possible

Love the atmosphere and vibes. It’s perfect for an afternoon tea with friends. The match tiramisu was awesome, lots of match powder on top and it tasted like there was a layer of sake soaked into the cake on the bottom, and wasn’t too sweet. There were many options for tea pots which came with a free refill of hot water. I’m giving this a 4 star as the rose tea I got didn’t have much flavors of rose, and everything was slightly pricey.

Went here with a good friend, it was such a great experience. Quality desserts and amazing service. Would highly recommend for anyone in the area to stop by and check this place out!

items r quite pricey with a policy of one item per customer... customer service was okay... the vibes and aesthetic of the place nice... fine to experience once but do not think i'll be coming back...
You might have to wait to be seated during the busy hour. But the wait is absolutely worth it. Love the teas and desserts here.

It’s my second time at this place and I think the atmosphere about Cha An is really cute. It did remind me a lot of the dessert places in Japan. I thought the desserts were quite good and rather tasty. The only thing I would say is that the desserts are fairly pricey and that is the only thing that is preventing me from giving it a 5. It’s pricey but the amount you get is not all that much. The flavour was there though and I would say the matcha in the tiramisu was quite prominent.

Cozy vibe and super friendly staff, and the matcha ice cream is next-level good!”

The tea ceremony was magical! We had the most incredible experience here, all thanks to our hostess. 🍵 🌸
