Tan-Cha — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I am a big fan of anything tiramisu flavored, so I was instantly intrigued by this place when I came across their menu. First cafe that I've been to that offers tiramisu milk tea, and they even offer 3 different kinds! The cashier told me that the T3 (Royal Ceylon milk tea with tiramisu puff cream) is most popular, but it has a heavier tea taste as well as heavier cream. I decided to get the T1 (Red Jade black milk tea with tiramisu puff cream). I don't believe they have non-dairy options because the lady seemed really confused when I asked what kind of milk is used to make the milk tea.

The tiramisu milk teas only come in one size, and it's a bit pricey ($5.20 with tax). Nonetheless, the drink tastes really good - just make sure to drink it correctly! When I initially drank it from the cup, I only got a taste of the tiramisu topping, which was very thick and creamy. When I drank it out of a straw, I just got a taste of the plain milk tea. I didn't want to mix the drink at first because it would mess up the aesthetics. However, the drink tastes so much better when mixed. The sweet topping blends well with the plain milk tea taste. On top of that, the chocolate balls that they add on top are also good. I got to it towards the end of my drink and it was a nice surprise! I really liked the crunchiness of it - it's kind of like a mini version of those Whoppers chocolate balls.

The space inside is rather small and it does get pretty packed. I went around 2pm on a Saturday and there were no seats available. There was a line, but it seemed to move pretty quickly. The drink is on the heavier side, but I'll be back again when I'm craving that...

I had the fruit tea- it was good and tasted fresh! However I'm giving 3 stars for service.. I ordered my drink with lychee jelly. A few min after, as they're prepping my drink, they tell me that the they'll give me the lychee jelly on the side because they can't put it in my drink. I was confused, and when I asked why, they said the drink already comes with fruits so they couldn't add it in... So then they would give it to me in a separate cup. I asked them why they couldn't just add it in, and then they suggested I just put the lychee in myself. I was super confused and just asked for a refund, no lychee.. when my drink came out, there was plenty of room for lychee or boba or any other type of jelly!!! Still don't understand the rationale, but they should of told me when ordering that I couldn't order jelly. Or maybe just put my drink in a bigger cup?

Just.....

"I recently discovered Tan Cha in K-town during my month-long visit to Los Angeles, and I can confidently say it was the best bubble tea experience I've ever had! The cheese foam teas were simply divine - I couldn't get enough of them! I also tried their smoothies and slush drinks, which were incredibly refreshing and flavorful. But what really stood out to me was the impeccable service and welcoming environment. Every time I visited, the employees were super friendly and the atmosphere was always clean and peaceful. It was a five-minute walk from my boyfriend's apartment, so I went there about twice a week and was never disappointed. I've been thinking about it since I returned home and I can't wait to go back to LA just to visit Tan Cha again. If you're a bubble tea lover, you absolutely have to give Tan Cha a try - you...
