I’m a big fan of this place. They have really good tea and milk drinks, and the little snacks are perfect. Nice and quiet, much better for study and focus than most coffee shops would be due to music volume.

As one who has lived in many places abroad, I love the authentic flavors this shop brings to Waco. The food is always delicious and fresh. They are friendly and supportive of the community in Waco!
My favorite boba place in Waco - I’m in about once a week. The food is delicious, the boba is chewy, and the staff is all so nice. Maritza helped me today and she was so cheery and sweet that it boosted my mood right before I have to go study!

I come here almost every time I'm in Waco. They have a good selection of drinks and food as well. Ordered the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk. There are parking options across the street and the sign out front clearly warns customers to not park next door as they would tow cars. Atmosphere conducive for chatting or working. The barista approached me with a free drink as she made a wrong order and didn't want to toss it. At first I thought she was going to kick me out for staying too long, so I was pleasantly surprised by her gift! Attaching a photo of the Thai Iced Tea drink

This cafe achieves its mission well to build bridges among Waco community. Atmosphere is inviting, great for solo dates or group dates, considering that they provide both books (great selections) and games.
I tried their hojicha banana latte. The teas are definitely premium sourced, though I was a bit surprised with the actual banana chunks in the drinks. Perhaps they should reconsider adding the fruits, the banana flavor became too strong and slightly clash with the hojicha, though I appreciate the creativity.
This place can improve with overall cleanliness feel. Not bad, just bothered me that there were flies.
Excited to go back and try their food and boba, and supporting Asian-owned business!

I never thought that in the small town of Waco, you can drink fresh handmade pearls. The tea is delicious and you can adjust the sweetness The store is very comfortable and has a wide selection of drinks Handmade pearls, a must order, highly recommended

This is my favorite place to eat in Waco. I can order anything on the menu and thoroughly enjoy it, both drinks and food. I would eat here every single day. Plus, the atmosphere is top notch. Easiest 5 star review ever.

Came here after a disappointing experience at Kung Fu, I knew Waco Cha had my back. I never should've betrayed them and I have learned my lesson. Milky Way is the best as usual. Employees here are the best. Top Tier :)
We recently visited Cha Community in search of a new boba spot to support, intrigued by its high ratings and promise of authentic Asian flavors. However, our experience fell short of expectations. The lackluster customer service, bland drinks, and undercooked boba were disappointing. The cashier didn’t even acknowledge us when we came in and stayed silent until I ordered our first item. We received BBQ buns instead of the pork belly gua bao we ordered, though we understand this could have been a result of miscommunication. As for the Việt coffee and Pandan coconut milk tea, they were bland and tasted little like the flavors they were supposed to. It’s surprising considering coffee and Pandan are very strong flavors. As for the boba, they were so undercooked it was hard and dry in the middle. We were unable to finish our drinks because of this. While we hope this was just an off day for Cha Community, we felt compelled to share our honest feedback.

I graduated from Baylor two years ago and moved away, so a lot has changed. I used to be a regular at Waco Cha and often went there with my now-husband. So when I came back to Waco, I was excited to go to the farmers' market and drink the boba.
I always order the same thing, which is Jasmine Milk Tea but the boba tea doesn't taste like how it was AT ALL. It tasted like water with a bit of flavor. I could not help but feel like a memory that I cherished was tainted. I was unbelievably disappointed.

This is the perfect lunch spot! There are lots of seating options across the store. You can easily order at the front and you get your food in under 5 minutes. I had the dumplings with rice and slaw. Everything was perfectly seasoned! The ingredients are high quality and fresh. A Waco and downtown staple!

I was able to visit the Waco for the 2nd time last December. I was super happy to know their service is the same as in Temple. I got my usual order of Tawainese Cold Noodles (get some and thank me later) and I waited for a little bit. I wanted to order in real time and not just ahead. It was a short wait. I ended buying some merch stuff. Cha Community's food fueled my pregnancy a couple years ago. I can't stop coming back. Their food and drinks are so good. The staff is always friendly! I will always visit either locations whenever I'm able to be in Texas and you should too!
