    Me and my girlfriend love this place so much!!! Everytime we come in the 2 guys always working are smiling and super friendly, today they recognized us and remembered our order and it made us so happy. This is our favorite spot and the boba here is always the perfect consistency and the drinks are super flavorful and always so so so good!! We love formosa and we love the workers

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

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

    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.

    I love tea bear and visited them often when they first came and A LOT as I was getting my house…read moreready to go on the market. I got so obsessed with the mangolava. Especially because the first time (during recent months), the girl made my drink so damn good, I was chasing that one. The subsequent drinks, yes DRINKS, were good but didn't match hers. She is a young Asian girl if you catch her in there. I've had other drinks, the price is similar to all these type of businesses. Sometimes, the wait can be long and one time I went, they were definitely having some kind of sewage situation going on. Idk if with the restaurant or the complex but the smell was unpleasant. If you're in Cypress, and close to mueschke, check em out. I wouldn't drive out the way, otherwise standard drinks.

    I saw the mixed reviews, so I figured I'd give these folks a shot on my way home. Offering creamy,…read moremilky, fruity, refreshing, and everything in between, you can really make whatever creation you want here. As a family run business I appreciate the variety of menu offerings and would love to grow with them as they navigate perfecting the plethora of recipes! I ordered something called the grasshopper which comes with lychee tea, cucumber juice, and basil seeds. It sounds healthy ish, but more than anything else, I'd call it refreshing. It was not super sweet (which I appreciate), and hit the spot in battling the 90 degree heat on my drive home. From the friendly service, to the variety, to the product I received, I'm all smiles and as soon as I find a way to consume these teas without the sugar and calories, mark my words, I'll be here everyday! I hope their other offerings are just as satisfying!
