    Love this place! Their hazelnut mocha coffee is to die for! Me and my husbands go to place. They have great desserts love their macaroons as well. Great service, employees are all very kind!

    Smashed avocado
    Brandon D.

    I remember trying Bambu when they used to have a location in Dallas. It has long since closed so it's been awhile since I've had their che. I tried my aunt's order, the taro lover, which included taro, pandan jelly, and coconut milk. It was pretty good and refreshing. She recommended that I get the smashed avocado to go. It's packed with boba, coffee jelly, and condensed milk. It was also pretty good but very rich and dense, I couldn't finish it on my own. Definitely share this with some one.

    HOUSTON, TX 77072 / DESSERTS/ 03-11-24 +The front cashier lady was courteous. -The tables and chairs were a little dirty. What we ordered: #03 Che 3 May - Awesome $6.50 Cookie & Cream Blend $6.75

    $10 over-priced basil seed coconut and longan drink
    Hue N.

    Bambu is overpriced and such a rip-off. Two different cup sizes, with a large cup of drink--added tax--costing $$$10 plus tip! Yesterday, I ordered a basil seed drink with young coconut and longan fruit. I won't be coming back here for a while to contribute my $ to this greedy owner. There are soo many different choices to enjoy on Bellaire Blvd such as Long Cafe and buba teas.

    Always a great place to get Vietnamese dessert or drinks. Quick and friendly service. Wifi friendly. Posted photos of the menu with updated prices

    Almond milk boba and strawberry boba
    LaMecia M.

    Accidentally dropped in here because I wasn't paying attention (was supposed to try another tea place in the parking lot) but they served a great almond milk boba so it was a win. They have a number of dessert options in addition to a bevy of teas. This is a pretty spacious place so good for groups and families.

    Che'

    I looooove Bambu. It is the highlight of my visits to the bay area, and if I'm lucky I'll get through there a couple of times during a work week, so I was jazzed to see one here in Houston. Even though I was stuffed from the Vietnamese food buffet next-door, this was a necessary stop. Bambu is special because of the Che' - there's a lot of fruit drinks, milk teas, and Boba drinks all over the place, but not so many of the more dessert type treats. Young coconut? Basil seeds? Mixed jelly? Yes please. Clean establishment; efficient service.

    Mangonada shaved ice
    Sanaa C.

    Came here for dessert on a Thursday night with my mother who absolutely loves this place! We got the Mangonada shaved ice and it was delicious! It is a bit pricey at about $10 for the dish, but it's also HUGE. Can definitely satisfy 3 people. The two of us had a hard time finishing it... The service was great and fast. It's counter service. You order there, get your number, and then pick it up when they call your number. The interior is nice. Lots of seating. They have outdoor tables too, which we took advantage of :) I have my eye on the Berrylicious one for next time!

    Smashed Avocado Chè
    Rob R.

    I've been here twice. Once on a weekday after lunch at Duy Sandwiches and the other time on a Saturday. Both times there was a steady stream of people ordering. The vibe was really chill with people sitting indoors and outdoors. The menu is easy to navigate and the staff is helpful if you have any questions. I ordered a Jasmine Mango Tea and the Smashed Avocado Chè the first time and only the Smashed Avocado Chè the second time. The Jasmine Mango Tea was really good, refreshing and not as sweet as I thought it would be, which is great to me. The Smashed Avocado Chè is exceptional! I enjoyed this chè so much. It is not too sweet but it tastes just right. I'm not a huge fan of boba itself but when combined with the jelly, avocado and ice, everything blends well and makes for a very balanced dessert. I'll be back for the ca phê sữa đá and salted caramel coffee soon and some of the other teas and chè at some point in the future. Bambu is a solid choice for chè, in a great location in a wonderful community. Try it out as soon as possible!

    Craving for pandan jelly and Bambu to the rescue! Ordered #10 with red tapioca, pandan jelly and coconut milk (less ice). I wish they gave more pandan jelly than red tapioca. It was pretty sweet but then it's a dessert! Plenty of Vietnamese drinks and you can find one you like!

    Bambu Combo
    Linh T.

    This place is literally my favorite for Vietnamese iced desserts. I always get their combination dessert, and it's always super tasty. Their drinks are also pretty nice as well.

One team member kindly explained the drinks I was curious about and even gave me a recommendation, which I really appreciated--and it was spot on! I went with the Hawaii Sunset fruit tea at 50% sugar. Just a heads-up: their fruit teas lean more on the fruit-forward side than actual tea, and mine was definitely on the sweeter end of the spectrum--likely from the syrup in the mango popping boba. Even at half sugar, it was pretty sweet. I also noticed a couple of things that could've made the drink better: some lemon seeds were left in, and the smaller bits of mango weren't fully ripe, which made the texture a bit off. That said, the staff's kindness and the wide variety of drinks make me want to come back and try other options! I'm especially interested in their Saigon street food menu and those adorable kitty paw-shaped mochi waffles. The shop itself is small with limited seating, so I'd recommend grabbing your drinks to-go unless you're staying for a bite. Bonus points for being located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking--no stress finding a spot!

We got chicken and waffle & chicken and pancake, French toast with side of scrambled eggs, and an iced lavender latte and English breakfast hot tea. The food & drinks quickly came out, which is always greatly appreciated when dining with kids. The chicken was a generous portion and juicy. The butter had a unique flavor and paired well with the chicken. The pancake and waffle were also big portions. The latte was sweet and well balanced.

Portions are large/filling and we felt the food was delicious and a good value for money. When we arrived the line was long and menus were not available so we had to search for the menu on the website to avoid deciding at the counter and holding up the people behind us. After ordering, tables were cleaned consistently and service was friendly. Only feedback about seating was outside parties would take chairs from other tables and leave them with no seating and not all tables we're shaded. The drinks being available at the bar when it is busy and then food being delivered to the table was a bit clunky. I picked up water and utensils for our party before sitting and would have preferred to have to pick everything up at the counter or have everything brought to the table to avoid multiple trips around when the restaurant is busy.
