Forest Tea Bar is a tea house in Berkeley, California. It is listed at 2628 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA 94704, which places it among the local businesses of Berkeley that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as coffee shop, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Bubble tea, tea houses, Asian bakeries and dessert shops in this group are usually walk-in, counter-order businesses with a menu board overhead listing sweetness and ice levels you can adjust when ordering. Standard bubble tea customization includes sugar level (0-100%), ice level, and a choice of toppings like boba pearls, pudding or jelly, usually at a small extra charge. Asian bakeries sell items individually with tongs and a tray, cafeteria-style, rather than pre-boxed, and pastries are typically less sweet than Western bakery items. Lines build up quickly after school and in the evening, especially near colleges. Most of these businesses accept cards and mobile pay and skew younger in clientele and atmosphere.
