High quality matcha that never disappoints! I've ordered in person and delivered and the consistency remains the same. They have oat milk for vegans and you can adjust the sweetness as desired. My go to is an iced matcha latte with oat milk.

We came here on a Saturday afternoon and the tables were full with students studying, but hopefully you can grab a table. The teas here are clearly made fresh and have a lot of flavor. The only thing is that the boba is a little less than other places. The sugar is also very minimal here so if you order less sweet like I did, you might end up with a drink that does not taste sweet at all. But overall, I appreciate the selection of teas.

One thing I can say about this is the quality is there. I love the Jasmine milk tea and just tried to strawberry matcha latte. Both taste fresh and light, exactly how tea is supposed to, and it's not overly sweet. It has super cute seating, there were a lot of other university students getting some work done. I really believe it's the perfect tea shop to go to by campus, everywhere else is crowded and you feel rushed. Here it feels almost like a coffee shop vibe where you can relax and get what you need done or just pop in and grab a "pick me up".

Phenomenal teas and fruit blends. Wonderful working atmosphere. Great drink customization options, sometimes seasonal varieties sell fast. Pick up and service is fairly efficient and very friendly. Top boba spot in Berkeley for many people I know. Highly recommend: seasonal fruit teas, matcha, matcha + fruit purer options.

Amazing quality matcha lattes! I am also a fan of their seasonal teas, like the jasmine asian pear (must try). Their milk teas are alright, i wouldnt go there just for milk tea. Good amount of seating, but it's often quite crowded. Has efficient wifi and some outlets for charging. Employees are kind and helpful with suggestions.

I freaking love this place, great teas and coffee, although the pastries are dry and not very good. But recently I’ve found out that the ownership has created a toxic work environment for its employees. When my friend began working there, he thought that having owners involved in day to day operations might be beneficial, but he was disappointed. He told me that “professional development opportunities could be taken to make working at Asha less tense, awkward, and a more enjoyable place”.

The service was great and I really wanted to like this place but I thought it was okay. They didn't have any baked goods (which was what I was most excited for) except for cookies. They had two flavors. I ordered a regular hot masala chai for my bf. He's Indian and wasn't a fan of it. I got the iced Hong Kong milk tea with boba. Wasn't sweet enough for me. Boba is chewy and hard. Paid about $12 for both drinks. Overall, not my cup of tea.

Just when I thought I have found the perfect matcha spot… a rude employee or manager made me never come back to this store again. For context, I ordered a matcha latte with ginger and when I got home I couldn’t taste the ginger at all and I also noticed I forgot to add non dairy option so I called the store to let them know the latte doesn’t have ginger or doesn’t taste like it has one so they apologized was very polite and asked me to come back for a remake.When I came back with my drink they pulled up my order and saw I ordered regular milk and I told them I couldn’t taste the ginger at all and I was hoping for a remake with nondairy milk and they said they didn’t make any mistake so “what are you saying”I said if I have to pay extra or pay the difference I would and the lady said “ I don’t know what you are asking our ginger is very subtle which is why you can’t taste it and we have made it already”Wow I’m not asking or creating a fuss just so but I already called and told you I accidentally did non dairy and the ginger isn’t there so how can you add extra flavorings with charge and when customers say they can’t taste it you said it’s because it’s subtleShe said the best I can do is make you a new drink …Which is what I asked in the first place already….No sign of empathy or wanting to understand the customerDisappointed!!

My go-to for traditional non-milk teas; I favor hojicha & matcha. The seasonal flavors such as yuzu & asian pear add another level of variety & complexity & you can get it unsweetened as well. There are local baked goods but they disappear quickly, but I was able to snag a black sesame cookie. The matcha sparkler hits the spot on a warm day too.
Drinks at this place tend to be on the blander side (watered down) as opposed to the strong matcha flavor you'd expect.Had an experience recently where I was told I could not bring outside food because it "messes with the aroma of tea", even though the building of this place is tall, fans are running, and the door is always open. Found it a little ridiculous.The atmosphere of this place is nice at least.

Can't stop drinking the Asian Pear Oolong. I think I'm addicted. Can't put it down. I get it with no sugar, and it's still sweet and has a refreshingly satisfying pear taste. Maybe this is what drinking happiness tastes like!

If you like quality tea, like regular tea by itself this is the place for you. You can tell the tea leaves were well sourced and their boba is always consistent. Their seasonal flavors are pretty great too, always fresh 100% recommend
