Cha, A New Thai Tea Shop, Is Opening in Berkeley

Cha , a new Thai tea shop, is opening in Berkeley, according to a recently submitted permit application.

Coming to 1796 Shattuck Avenue , taking over the former Fertile Grounds space, the cafe will land near establishments such as the Korean restaurant Mad Seoul, Party Sushi, and Victory Point Cafe.

Aya Amornpan , who owns the business alongside June Bunmeeamorn , tells What Now San Francisco that Cha’s menu will focus on Thai teas and snacks, including sandwiches and traditional desserts — specifically mentioning a “custard-coated toast.”

The cozy, 1000-square-foot spot will offer indoor seating and, after beginning service later this month, operate between 10 am and 6 pm, seven days a week.

Stay tuned for updates.
