Cha 101 - Boba And Chicken Steak — Restaurant in Santa Maria

I normally love this place and it’s my usual go to. I came in about 10-15 minutes after opening time today (yeah, I know, but I was out running errands and I was really craving some Boba tea) when I walked in not only was the open sign/menu signs off, but the attendant was in the back, blasting music and didn’t even notice that I had walked in- So I was very confused on if the place was open yet or not. When she came out to the front, she seemed a little bothered to talk to me and told me the Boba wasn’t available for another 10 minutes because it was still cooling. I still love this place and I’m still going to give it my business, but I would be warry about coming in within the first 30 minutes or so because they may not be prepared...

Great place! They've come a long way from when they first started. I love the Taro Snow Ice and Canteloupe Snow Ice! Pomagranite and boba?! Can't go wrong with that! Just delicious overall. Great place to come and hangout with your mates while sharing a delicious confection. The place is always clean and the staff is always wonderful, (Shout out to Jenny!) There is enough parking and it's right next to other shopping places. Oh! And you get like a rewards card! Every 10th stamp is a free drink! 😍😍😍 Did i mention you can use Samsung Pay?!!! I am sure their NFC reader works on most phones! Over all a nice joint! Definetely a place all of SM and passer by's...

Boba is very difficult to find in this area, so the fact that Cha 101 exists is a godsend for not only being available, but the best boba available in my opinion, topping all of the options I've tried between here and SLO! If I ever crave boba, I default to this place and wouldn't recommend anywhere else in Santa Maria. Tonight, I was met with three very sweet Filipino workers (their adjective, not mine LOL) who treated me to such a great conversation. I'd be really upset if this place had to close down due to lack of foot traffic, so I'll reiterate - IF YOU LIKE BOBA, VISIT THIS PLACE NOW! You won't be disappointed!! I'm a #certified Cha 101...
