    Vibrant, green and not swamp looking color? check Hand whisked? check Ceremonial grade? check Beautiful interior? check My favorites depending on my mood: - mango - a classic can't go wrong - cloud - hydrating and slightly creamy - honey jasmine - lighter with the perfect floral balance - wakaba latte - just matcha and milk. simple yet delicious Other honorable mentions: - banana pudding - the perfect dessert drink enso has set the standard for good matcha and will ruin your matcha expectations everywhere else. There's about 4 grams of matcha per cup so you will be caffeinated. Parking can be a bit of a pain due to the surrounding businesses. Just take a deep zen breath before making your way there cause once you go enso, there's no going back.

    I cannot say better things about this place!!! My new favorite matcha spot in Houston, service is amazing there is usually a small line but it moves quickly. Tried their new ube banana pudding recipe and it was phenomenal. The matcha is top quality you can't beat it.

    I've been here twice already, and I loved it both times! The service is quick, and the staff is friendly, helpful, and informative. The shop itself is on the smaller side, but it's super cute. There are seats along the bar where drinks are made, and built in seating along the wall with a few small round tables. Heads up: It's located right next to Snooze, and the parking lot is in the back. It's pretty tiny, so you might have to do a few laps before finding a spot. Nowwww my matcha review :) Before we get into it: This place is definitely on the pricier side! On my first visit, I spent about $20 for two matchas. On my second visit, I spent around $23 for one matcha and a croissant. 1. Mango Matcha (1st visit) - 10/10 This was my personal favorite! It's definitely on the sweeter side because of the mango, but the staff mentioned they can make it less sweet if you prefer. I 1000% recommend this one, and I'll definitely be bringing my mango loving husband to try it. 2. Strawberry Matcha (1st visit) - 9/10 This wasn't as sweet as I expected, but it was still really really good. I can absolutely see why it's one of their best sellers. 3. Mango + Strawberry Matcha with Matcha Cold Foam (2nd visit) - 8.5/10 Honestly could've skipped the $3 matcha cold foam, they have other flavors for less expensive. Mixing the mango and strawberry made the drink a little less sweet than the mango on its own, but the mango definitely overpowered the strawberry. 4. Matcha Croissant (2nd visit) - 1000/10 I honestly don't even know how much this was but WOW this thing was AMAZING. Dare I say life-changing? The croissant was sooo soft, flaky, and buttery. It practically melted in my mouth. The matcha topping had a smooth, silky finish that tied everything together perfectly. Worth every penny!!

    Enso finally has a brick n mortar!! After going to so many of their pop ups, I'm so happy for them for how far they've come. Overall, this is the BEST matcha in Houston. First off, their store front is beautiful. It immediately made me miss visiting Japan. They even have the high tech Japanese toilet to match haha just trust me and go to the restroom here. Jokes aside, their matcha is legit. Every single drink here is phenomenal. Made to order, hand whisked, and so many creative flavors to choose from. If you want traditional, I like the wakaba the best. Otherwise, my other favorites are their pandan matcha einspanner, murasaki, hokkaido fog, mint condition, or the biscoff banana pudding. If you haven't been to Enso yet, you're honestly missing out. There are many matcha spots in Houston now, but there truly is only one Enso. Cheers!

    This place is pretty legit, although extremely busy a lot of the time. If you don't want a line, come early. They hand whisk their matcha and during busy times, you can sit at the bar and watch them make it, which is pretty cool.

    I've heard this is some of the best matcha in the area so I was so happy when they opened up next to my gym. I stopped by Friday morning after my workout and the line was out the door right at open time (8am). I didn't know what to get but the lady taking my ordered mentioned the mango matcha was one of their most popular items so I got that. I really enjoyed the drink! It was sweet but not overwhelming. I've had mango matcha before but this was significantly better. They are fully staffed to accommodate their popularity and the volume of business they are getting right now and I really appreciate that. Despite having about 10 people in front of me order before me, I was in and out in 10-15 minutes. The place itself is really nice and modern inside. Even the bathroom is super nice in there. I love that its close to the gym so I can just walk over after my morning workouts before work now. Yayyy!

    Matcha pandan

    Heard all the hype of this place so of course I wanna try too. Order the pandan matcha both of my favorites flavors. It was OK not as I expect to be something amazing in the taste.

    The place looks modern inside and has a Japanese vibe. There's bar seating and you can watch them make your drink. They have uniquely crafted drinks on their menu. I tried two different drinks so far and both of them were top tier. I tried the matcha eispanner with pandan added flavor. This one was sweet and had some whip cream in there. The other drink I tried was the wakaba which had a nutty flavor to it. The wakaba had more of the traditional matcha flavor with nutty notes. The parking is the only downside to this place. It's a paid parking lot and so the matcha is best to go especially since the place is small inside anyways.

    Hokkaido Fog
    Anh D.

    My brother and sister-in-law introduced me to this spot, and I'm glad they did! The shop is small and quaint, with simple, minimalist decor that creates a cozy atmosphere. There was a steady stream of customers coming in and out, but the service was fast, and our drinks came out relatively quickly. I ordered the Hokkaido Fog, and it had a nostalgic Fruity Pebbles flavor that I loved. It was so good! I'll definitely be back to try more of their matcha drinks.

    Houston Matcha Pop Up finally has a storefront! Their matcha is co-branded with Kettl. Overall, their matcha flavor was pretty light (or I personally just prefer a strong matcha flavor). Ordered: - Biscoff Banana Pudding Matcha Latte - Banana pudding itself was pretty good. Seasonal drink. - Matcha Einspanner I like the interior vibes. It's very modern japanese vibes. Wouldn't recommend working/studying there (it was a bit loud), but it's a nice place to sit and chit chat. We went on a Sunday in the mid afternoon, a couple weeks after their storefront grand opening, and the wait was about 15-20 minutes.

    Uji homare
    Edwin M.

    It was my first time trying their drinks, I ordered the Uji Homare and the mint condition. The Uji Homare tasted like hojicha, it was creamy, rich and flavorful The other drink mint condition was refreshing while still having subtle notes of matcha, I recommend this one if you don't like your matcha too strong. The cashier was very helpful since I didn't know the name of one of the drinks but since I described it she helped me figure it out. The inside of the store has a very authentic Japanese style feel to it, while having alit if natural light however there aren't that many places to sit inside and it does get busy quickly.

    Mango matcha
    Lalanica C.

    I'm not a crazy matcha fan. Stopped by as a post workout pick me up as the line was not out the door. It's a nice clean setup with a matcha bar/counter. The wait was about 15 mins for us. They have quite a team working diligently through the orders. I have to say this was a very enjoyable matcha drink. The mango did give it more sweetness but it was very smooth, not chalky or grassy as I normally feel like matcha sits on my palate.

    Seasonal Banana Pudding Matcha

    Delicious matcha. It is a bit pricey but if you want good quality great balanced matcha I would 100% recommend this place if you're in the heights. I got the seasonal banana pudding and it was amazing, although the pudding was a bit too sweet for my liking, it was great banana pudding. It was pretty busy and even then our drinks came out pretty quickly. Will definitely be back.

    My sister and I went to the terrarium class last week. I was disappointed how the owner, Brittany,…read more made me feel. She emphasized to me that the chairs were cracked and to be very careful with them. Even going as far as to ask me if I preferred for her to switch out a sturdier chair for me. Ok, I am not a thin person, but certainly she has seen other people that are big in her lifetime. There was another big person at the class, but she only warned me about her cracked chairs. The vessels for the terrariums were really extra small. I managed to get the only normal sized bowl. My sister had to get a tiny one. For $40 the vessels should have been bigger. Or allow you to make two. Brittany asked everyone what was the first step to put together a terrarium and I said the rocks. She said no, it is the sand. The brochure she handed out at the end of the night also said to start with a base of rocks. If you want to have customers, be prepared to have all shapes, sizes and colors. If you are not open to that, do not expect return customers. I love this kind of stuff but I will not be back. Can't stop thinking how she made me feel like I was so huge, her chairs would break. I attached a photo of the tiny terrarium my sister made for $40

We drove an hour in the rain to get there and 30 minutes before it started they sent me a cancelation notice. They said they had booked a large group and forgot about it. We were in the parking lot getting ready to go in and there was no big party starting. This was my test with my granddaughter and then had planned to bring all 20 folks from my department. It was a big mistake on their part and very unprofessional. My granddaughter was really looking forward to it.

    What a beautiful experience to get matching permanent bracelets with my son! This was so cute!!!!…read moreMy son is known for loosing his jewelry and this was perfect. You can get 14k gold, white gold or even gold filled. The options are anklet, bracelet or necklace for permanent jewelry. Meaning no clasp but if need be (it can be cut off) They do have charms and other jewelry as well. The price varies depending on the chain and length that's custom to you. It can get pricey tho! I'm coming back to stack my bracelets with this coupon they sent me lol. It's for men, women or kids!!! It can be adjusted too

    This place is at the corner of Shepherd and Nett, on the first floor. As expected of the area,…read morethere is no obvious parking for the business. You have to find some nearby street parking and walk over. I had a perm bracelet from another place that needed to be shortened. I sent an email inquiry to ask if they provide this service before going there (I've gone to another place where they refused to work on anything that wasn't purchased from them so I wanted to be sure before heading out of my way). The email reply confirmed that they do provide this and that it would be $15. I made an appointment online and selected what I needed done. The website showed that it would only be $10 for a single loop and that it required pre-payment. So I paid and headed to my appointment. When I arrived, I told them I was here to have my bracelet shortened and the lady working there told me it would cost $25. I explained that I made an appt and pre-paid it already. She replied that it was just the deposit, not the total cost of the service. It was not clear during the booking that it was a deposit only but fine (maybe it would have been obvious if I had selected something way more expensive and being charged $10 instead). This was fine since the deposit gets applied at the end anyway. I also explained that I have an email reply saying it would cost $15 so I don't know where the $25 came from. She hesitantly agreed that she would only charge me $15 instead. I paid for the $5 difference at the end of the appointment. The inconsistency in the pricing (with additional confusion on appt deposit) is frustrating. I like having a clear idea of what I'm paying without any surprises. The work itself was fine. She clipped off my bracelet, took the old loop off, clipped off the extra length and zapped a new loop on. I'm happy with the end result.
