Why 4 stars? Because if we lived nearby, we would definitely stop in here often. --- --- --- I've had Formosa bookmarked for quite a while now, and we finally stopped in to visit. I understand why they have such great reviews because the customer service here is top notch. Both of the people working here could not have been more friendly. I was incredibly tempted to order the chocolate banana smoothie only because it's a bit different of an item that you'll see at a typical boba shop. But I ended up being boring and and going with my usual: taro/coconut. My honest feedback here is that it was good, not great. It could have used a tad more sweetness. One of the people working here mentioned that they do a hot taro drink, which definitely piqued my interest. I have never had boba in a hot beverage before and would definitely love to try it in the future, as well as that chocolate banana concoction.

Famosa tea

Famosas bubble tea never disappoints! I am on a no caffeine, no sugar thing right now, so I got a yummy Rose, hibiscus tea. Hubby gets a mango slush and my teens like the vanilla latte. The owners are super friendly. And they have a point system to earn free drinks.

Always looking for some good boba drinks and this fit the bill. The gentleman behind the counter was terribly personable and charming. He guided us through the menu sharing personal favorites and explaining new treats. This had one of the most extensive slush menus I have seen.

Great service! These guys always have a positive attitude every time I walk in. They make me feel like an individual and not just a customer. They take modifications to the drinks without stress.

Seems to be family owned and can be easily missed unless you are looking for a boba teahouse. Make sure to stop by and show support. I ordered the peach melon green tea with rainbow jelly. I didn't know it wasn't unsweetened so if you do ask for one make sure to ask to add sweetener if you want your tea sweetened. Many varieties of flavors I haven't seen before. Everyone is very nice and welcoming! Highly recommend!

Vietnamese iced coffee

My boba cravings are random and are uncontrollable to the point that I have driven to Chinatown from Cypress to get my boba fix. One day I had to fill up gas before going back to my apartment by Telge and Grant. I was at the gas station and saw that there a shop in the corner of the parking lot that said something about a teahouse. This peaked my interest and I hesitantly drove there not knowing what I was getting myself into. Normally I try to make judgements about places only after I get the stuff from there but this time the place was so cute that I just couldn't stop adoring it from the moment I walked in. During the pandemic they have markers on the floor making social distancing enforcements palpable and a sign at the entrance that tells you no entry without a mask. These little things make such a big difference when you are trying to find places to go to during these times. First time I tried the brown sugar milk tea boba and while I liked the boba I forgot to mention them to keep the sweetness at 50% level. Thankfully it was so good that I drank it all before I reached my apartment in Montrose. Next time (yesterday) I got the Japanese green tea milk tea with coconut jelly (50% sweetness, I remembered this time lol) and omg. I went to get a little something sweet because I was hitting my 3 o'clock slump while working from home and it was exactly what I needed. The 50% sugar level was not too sweet and the coconut jelly created the perfect balance between the natural taste of the tea with the sweetness from the coconut jelly. Today, I was craving something a little more intense and since my mom was home I decided to get her a drink as well. This time I tried the Vietnamese ice coffee and the buckwheat milk tea. The buckwheat milk tea has similarities to the green tea except it's caffeine free. This was a perfect selling point for me because my mom doesn't drink caffeine. The tea was 25% sweetness with coconut jelly and my mom is now a bubble tea fan! The Vietnamese ice coffee is what I needed to get throughout the day. Bonus points for their reward system! You can enter your phone number and it will send you alerts letting you know how many points you have and when they are going to expire! I can't wait till I have my next boba craving when I am in Cypress because I know exactly where I'll be going to get my fix! PS I am not sure if the people working there are the owners but they are SUPER friendly and EXTREMELY helpful in trying to guide you to make a decision regarding what to order according to your preferences.

mango slush with boba

love every drink here, they aren't stingy with any add ins you add and I love that because most places are stingy. i'm never disappointed, and always come back. highly recommend!

Bubble tea, Boba tea, or tapioca tea, etc. Its the same thing and the best you can find in the area is Here! The owner is very genuine and humble. The basic unsweetened Formosa milk tea I had and the interior design remind me of my hometown. I usually request not to add additional sugar in my drinks cuz I like to taste the tea flavor in my milk tea. However, I did not have any luck to find a decent drink until Formosa Bubble tea house. The drink I had was well balanced.

Brought the kids along after I went once and they all loved it!
Eric P.

A hidden gem when it shouldn't be! I can't believe I lived in the area for three years without knowing such an amazing boba shop was within five minutes of my home. I always drove down to Bellaire to get my boba fix. The store is extremely clean and the drinks are very authentic, like real Taiwanese tapioca drinks. Sooo good. I'll be going here almost daily from now on!

Green peach tea with boba
Ashley S.

So my husband just visited and he calls and asked me what tea that I wanted I said peach tea with boba and I thought that was the end of it lol nope. He calls back and asked what color I wanted so I thought he's talking about boba he says do you want green or black and I'm thinking oh wow they must have a new flavor of boba. No lol green tea or black tea lol so he gets home I taste this and I thought someone put something in my tea because it tastes like bush's baked beans legit lmao. It dawned on me girl you got peach flavoring with green tea and boba am I the slowest or what. I'm like well this makes since why it tastes like this lol so I'm just drinking this enjoying my mistake. Now I know better I will be back.

Thai Tea w/ Boba. I should've taken my photo when it was new but I couldn't help but chug it first lol.
Casandra H.

GREAT service and huge menu! Cool little spot! Can't wait to go back and try more yummy drinks!

Aurie M.

Absolutely amazing tea house. My husband and I always try new menu items And we have never come across an item we don't like. They use sugar cane and it absolutely prevents that artificially sweet taste that you get in a lot of other drinks. These are super refreshing. You have infinite options and the owners are the most amazing people you could ask for. Give it a TES you won't be disappointed.

Tiger boba milk
Thione T.

This place is a great place to hang out with friends, play some board games/card games, and enjoy a nice refreshing drink as well. I definitely enjoyed my tiger boba milk drink. The boba was a great chewy consistency and I I love milk and brown sugar mixed together. The cashier was really helpful and made sure to explain to get the best flavor out of my drink is to shake it for at least 20 seconds. I also love how at their seating areas they have a lot of outlet plugs avaliable for people to charge their phones, laptops, etc right under your seat. Would definitely recommend stopping by this place if you're nearby and thirsty!

We stopped by just for coffee after taking my little one to the dentist next door, but I'd love to come back and try the food sometime. Service was friendly, and the staff made sure our drinks were prepared and served quickly. I've heard good things about this place, but unfortunately, the drinks didn't live up to the hype. The mocha frappe was overly sweet, and the sweet matcha tasted like iced sweet milk with a hint of green. It lacked the distinct flavor and color of real matcha. Matcha lovers, save your $6, this one's a HARD pass. I might return and check out more reviews to see what dishes or drinks are actually recommended.

Waffle with Berries and Whipped Cream, Breakfast Burrito wrapped in a waffle toast, and Waffle Ham and Cheese Sandwich with Chops and Pickle; coffee, Signature Latte, and Cappucino. Food and coffees were plentiful and tasty and prices reasonable. Coffees could be stronger though. Service is practically self-serve and bus - so, not sure what the tipping was for. In any case, a welcome reprieve from the usual breakfast places. The meal cost $48 for three, with a 15% tip.

Listen, I was hesitant once reading some reviews BUT we had a great time! This place is quaint,…read morecharming and definitely worth any wait you may have. A lot of previous reviews seem to be about wait time complaints but once you get there OBVIOUSLY there may be a wait since its a smaller establishment (its literally a house with maybe 100 tables? SO COOL), but keep in mind if you hear a daunting wait time remember that YOU choose to wait even after hearing the wait time being 45mins-1hr so be a little understanding, and its a made to order restaurant so obviously the food will take longer than a chain restaurant so just go with an open mind and open schedule and you'll enjoy yourself! We were told week days are not as crazy as Saturdays (their busiest day since breakfast is all day)! We got great breakfast and some lattes, had great service (ask for Kaylee!) and enjoyed the atmosphere since there was a lot to do on the property! There's a little store, lots of walking space, and animals, the whole shabang! We even got to feed the animals! Will be coming back for sure!

Great atmosphere. You can walk around the property and even pet the turkeys, chickens, and goats…read more The restaurant gives you a small cup of feed so you can interact with the animals, which makes the experience fun and unique. The food was good nothing out of this world but the overall experience was very pleasant. It's family-friendly and also a nice spot for a casual date. We ordered the farmer's breakfast and a stack of pancakes. My favorite was the brisket with jam and butter definitely the highlight of the meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Just a heads-up: everything is made to order, so it may take a little time. Be patient and enjoy the moment.

Brits Batch - Cinnamon Roll!!

Why 3 stars? Because if you like sugar, this is your paradise…read more --- --- --- I'm a man who can't resist a 4.8 star rating (at the time of my visit), so I was willing to commute about 20 minutes out of my way for a post-lunch visit here. The main item on the agenda: cinnamon roll. As fate would have it, they had not one, not two, but three different kinds of cinnamon rolls. My wife ordered a standard one and I went with the biscoff version. Both were as heavy as heavy gets. In fairness, any cinnamon roll is going to be heavy, but these were like: two bites and at my limit. Was this more because I also happened to have a heavy lunch? Maybe so. But when I brought home leftovers to eat after dinner, I was still feeling stuffed to the max and unable to finish what I started earlier in the day. We also ordered a macadamia nut cookie and a cupcake, which were both fine. Same for the coffee, though I ordered a very basic iced americano, which is going to taste nearly the same everywhere. I'd come back to try Brit's again, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to do so again. But I may have caught them on a bad day, considering the awesome reviews they've brought in.

Usually, I'll find a place offers one but not the other- but I'm happy to say I've experienced both here. There are both sweet and savory treats on the menu, with rotating options based on the season. I love that they have everything from handheld chicken pot pies (delicious) and cookie croissants (haven't yet tried but they look amazing). Their cookies lean more classic, with a good variety of options. I know many of my fellow sweet-toothed friends have been feeling "oversized and underbaked" cookie fatigue with the way current food trends have been going, but Brit's Batch takes their cookies back to the basics of a thinner cookie with a crisp edge and chewy interior. Kind of like Great American Cookies but a little more elevated and personalized. Their drinks menu also has great variety, and even though I'm not typically a fan of sweet coffee, I loved their banana bread latte. Service is always attentive and sweet. The interior is bright and clean, and very conducive for journaling or studying. Private parking lot with plenty of spots. And while I enjoy sitting and staying for a while whenever I visit, they do (bemusingly) have a drive thru for your convenience. Highly recommend it here! - Ambiance: 5/5 - Food: 5/5 - Service: 5/5

We showed up to the venue minutes before the rehearsal with a cake that had completely slid apart--total chaos. In a last-minute scramble, we called Cafe Ninda and rushed over. They took one look at the cake and, despite how bad it was, said they'd do their best. What they did was nothing short of incredible. They carefully repaired and reshaped the entire cake and made it look presentable again--honestly felt like watching surgery. They stepped in during a stressful moment and completely saved the day.

To start off, when I ordered my coffee, the guy at the register said they didn't have 8oz coffees. I was staring right up at the sign, and he said he didn't know why it said that because he didn't see it in the computer. (But gave me an 8oz cup anyway and charged me for a 12oz) I thought maybe he didn't know what a small 8oz looked lik? lol Not sure. Then I waited for about 20 minutes for them to bring me out a vegetarian sand which. I was the only person there for the first 10 minutes, and it seemed like either the guy forgot to tell them to make the sandwich, or the ladies forgot themselves. Because 10 minutes later the guy looked at me and apologized and said that it should be out in 3 minutes. Another 10 minutes later and still nothing. I was pretty annoyed at this point because how long does it take to throw some veggies together on a sand which!! I think he noticed at this point so he apologized to me again and said " I just told them to make it". At this point I was super annoyed, but I just waited. Meanwhile I waited I also noticed other customers had walked in and ordered a handful of desserts and it looked like they had to go back up to the counter because they were missing some of their order. I finally got my sandwich and left because it honestly seems like a cluster fuck. Thankfully the sandwhich was amazing. The mango dessert was, eh. Especially for the price point. I really don't like leaving negative reviews, but I felt this place was really deserving of one. Customer service was not there- he was not very friendly. Food took WAY LONGER than it should've especially because I was the only one there at first and for what I ordered. He didn't even know the specifics of their menu. Just absolutely disappointed. Will not be coming back
