Wow, finally an authentic cafe for Asian drinks! I’m blown away by how delicious the coffee is, the freshness, and the quality that the owners serve. I got the bubble waffle (incredible) and the Thai coffee (omg) because Mickey the owner recommended this combo. I can’t wait to try every single thing on the menu!

Love this place! I used to work next door and Cha Cold was my favorite treat after a long day. I love lychee flavored things so purple rain and thailander drinks were my favorites! Also highly recommend the Thai tea crepe cake. The owners really care about quality and there are so many delicious things on the menu so you can’t go wrong here!

Cha Cold is a 10/10 place! Cute tiny spot. I got to talk with the owner a little bit and they were set to open 3 days before the hurricane hit so I can only imagine it's been slow moving opening up this business. Despite that and other obstacles they are doing such an amazing job!! I had the Thai tea crepe cake which was wonderfully light and not too sweet or cloying but very flavorful. I also had the ham sandwich which was absolutely delightful. I told myself I would eat half of both items and take the other half home but neither made it out of the shop. I had a pink milk tea which is a tropical fruit I had never heard of before but tasted a bit like strawberries and cream. I'd almost liken it to a strawberry version of a paw paw. The best thing about their logo is their little dog Thunder. He was a cute dog that lived a long life with an adorable tribute picture right in the name. I would highly recommend anyone popping by here for some delightful snacks and refreshing drinks. I live no where nearby but I am absolutely making it a destination regularly!

When you walk in you get hit by the sweet and fruity aroma of the shop. They have so many drink choices and cute tasty snack options as well! I don't have a single complaint about this little gem. I will say the prices might be a bit high but I believe it is worth every penny!

My kids and I had a treat here. I had heard lots of great things about it so I made a point of going when we were in the area. I wish I lived closer because it was wonderful. The service was excellent as well. Place was clean, easy to park, prices were fair.

We ordered a birthday cake here, and it was a show stopper! It was the vanilla crepe cake with strawberry sauce—delicious, intricate, and creamy. Beyond that, the customer service was wonderful. Everyone was a delight, and they offered to decorate the cake for the occasion, complete with fresh berries and freeze dried flowers. We are forever fans of Cha Cold Cafe.

This place was amazing. The staff was super friendly and helped explain everything. The food and drinks were so delicious. I love their Fruity Teas. The Bubble Waffle was so good and you definitely need to try their Crepe Cakes. A definite MUST VISIT. I will definitely be back soon.

This is my favorite place ever!! The staff is so kind and friendly! Literally the best strawberry matcha I have ever had in my life! I’m not even exaggerating!! Every dessert I’ve had from this place has been top notch. I would go here every day if I could.
