Asha Tea House
2086 University Ave, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“Asha Tea House is a Berkeley favorite that's earned its reputation for thoughtfully balanced milk teas and specialty drinks like their standout ginger Asian pear tea, though their matcha hits or misses depending on who's making it. The welcoming vibe and quick service make it a natural study spot, though the $8+ price point and occasional sound system hiccups remind you that Berkeley charm doesn't come cheap. If you're after creative tea-based drinks with real flavor complexity, this independent spot (with a sister location in SF) is worth the visit—just maybe skip the matcha.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings.

Nice tea house at Berkeley. They have another location at SF. We stopped by after lunch. Looks like it is a good place to study or work as I see many customers working on the laptop. I heard this tea house is pretty famous. it has nice interior and high ceiling. They also have…
This tea house is supported by the sale of bubble tea and other tea-family sweet drinks served in plastic disposable cups and straws. The space is cool, but the vibe is ruined by poorly amp'd junk music that is more sound graffiti than music. They would be better off with…
