Chaiyo Tea House

This has been the best bubble tea in the entire metro area - absolutely worth stopping in if you're anywhere even remotely near Independence. Extra 10 minute drive? Yes. Go.

Plenty of selection and all of the customizations but also MILK SUBSTITUTIONS for the dairy and lactose intolerant / vegan! Hurray! These are like handmade drinks rather than your run of the mill chain - I watched my barista caramelize my topping with a torch! She's was like an artisan with these teas, it was great! Lovely location with a small amount of seating. The Chaiyo Brown Sugar and the Taro were excellent. Highly recommend.

Yall can have the other boba places!! This here is the go too. Great service amazing drinks with a price you cant pass up. I was not a boba fan until my today!!! My children had the milk tea and fresh milk and I had the mango tea. We most definitely will be coming back!!!

Fresh tea, perfectly cooked boba, kind and super helpful service. Love trying different options here any fruit flavors have tasted great and refreshing. I haven’t tried the coffee options but that’s next on the list.

Clean and fresh, love the modern and minimalist look. Thank you Nathalia for helping me! As someone who is sensitive to dairy, she was able to help me find something I could enjoy. It’s delicious, service was great, 10/10. I’ll be back!

I think this is one of the best places for milk tea! I don't like other boba places because they're overly sweet. I like more of the tea flavor and this has a fine balance between the tea flavor and sweetness that I'm looking for. I also like the aesthetic/atmosphere of the place since I'm a minimalist.

Tried them today, the lady who helped me was so nice. She recommended Taro which I haven't had before and they were SPOT ON when describing the flavor to me. This place is lovely! I'll definitely return

My daughter and I are totally in love with this place! It's nice to get a treat that doesn't cost you $$$ LOL It's a cute little place, the staff are very kind, very informative and if you can't decide on what you want, they will make great selections. If you're anything like me I had no idea what it was and what I was ordering so they were great to help! Always cheerful and kind! 😆

One of the best Milktea I’ve had! Also, superb cleanliness and the store smells really good! Cozy atmosphere.

Discovering Chaiyo Tea House was a delightful surprise on my quest for Boba tea. The place exudes cleanliness, space, and modern vibes. Adam, the owner, greeted us warmly, sharing his genuine passion for tea. Open for just three weeks, Chaiyo already stands out.

Adam's recommendations, Chaiyo Milk Tea, and White Peach Green Tea were spot-on. The milk tea blends black tea, creamy milk, and a subtle caramel note, torch-caramelized brown sugar, creating a delightful mix. The peach tea was a refreshing, sweet alternative.

Adam's personal touch extended to sharing the shop's backstory, making the visit more memorable. My friend and I wholeheartedly recommend Chaiyo for its quality and tasty teas. Keep an eye out for the evolving decor; it's a gem in the making. Cheers to Chaiyo Tea House!

PS. They do stamp/hole-punch cards

This place is very convenient and cute. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are obviously delicious!!

Drinks were so delicious! The boba was really good. I got the mango popping boba. The people working there were really nice too and their kid was cute. Drinks were made super fast. 2 drinks for $12 is a steal.

Chaiyo has amazing milk teas! The customer service is warm and inviting and the atmosphere is like being amongst family. I drive there from Lees Summit and my sister comes from Kansas City to enjoy their teas and service. They have permanent customers with us. If you love boba and milk tea, this is where you want to be!

Chaiyo tea house is the absolute best place to get
your boba! The staff is always super helpful and ready to give great recommendations when needed. I always get their rose tea lemonade because it’s so refreshing! Truly the best drink for summer time! Would highly recommended this shop!

Finally, we have a very good boba in the area. The staff were so friendly & kind, always smiling! Great customer service is everything and this place has it!

Best Boba place around brown sugar Boba are always the perfect texture, very nice people, excellent jasmine tea. Business is immaculately clean with lots of cute elephant decor highly recommend

My first time trying boba in the KC area. I had a friend who recommended this place to me. I owe them a drink now for sure! This place was amazing. The service was awesome. I didn't really know what to order and they were super friendly in explaining things to me. The shop was amazingly clean in the prep area, and spotless in the customer area. Everything was made quick and packaged well to go. The hardest part of the whole deal was not giving in to temptation to drink it right there!
I had Thai Tea and a Chaiyo Brown Sugar Milk Tea. Two drinks for about the same price as 1 starbucks drink.

Bonus points for the great taste in music playing inside too!

Your tastebuds will thank you for bringing them here, and your wallet won't mind either. I will definitely be coming back soon!

Delicious boba shop!! Super excited to finally have one close to home that provides quality taste. Best one in the entire LS/Blue Springs/Indep area. So far we’ve tried the brown sugar milk tea and the matcha latte and loved each! We may have gone twice in one weekend since we enjoyed it so much.

Fantastic boba tea shop! The drinks are incredibly flavorful, which you also have the option to scale how sweet you want your drinks as well. They also don’t skimp on the boba pearls as well which is a plus for me cause I’ve been to places where they barely give you any. The staff is friendly and efficient, providing excellent service. Cozy atmosphere and a wide variety of delicious options!

Best boba/tea shop in KC! Family owned with the friendliest staff and the best tasting drinks - I swear!! They have a great menu with so many options depending on your taste for the day. Go here!!

Run, don’t walk to this tea shop! I was just complaining to my husband about how I wish there was a good Boba/Tea place in this part of town and come to find out this place has been open since November ‘23. I’ve been missing out this whole time, but I got to try the Chaiyo Milk Tea and my husband got the Thai Tea with brown sugar boba. Absolutely delicious and I got mine “less sweet” and it was perfect. Half the time when I get Boba drinks they’re too sweet for me to enjoy but I could actually taste the tea in my drink which was refreshing. The owner is super nice and knowledgeable, eager to help and give suggestions. He’s a one-man show from what I could see but he keeps the shop spotless. I’ll be a frequent flyer here for sure. Keep up the awesome work! I’ll be telling all my friends/family to support this local shop for their tea cravings.
