This boba shop is great because it has late hours for hangouts. I personally don't think the drinks are amazing but they do the trick when you're craving. The boba here is also just extremely soft and don't have that chew/bite I look for in the pearls. Never had an issue with parking. There's a good amount of seating but the shop does get busy with customers so you might have to wait. read more

Hella Bubble - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is by far the best bubble tea spot in all of Houston. In fact, through all my travels across the US, I've never had better bubble tea anywhere else. It's consistently amazing, and the boba is made to perfection. The best part is that they are always generous with the boba, unlike most other spots that are cheap with the amount they give! And the owner is so kind and friendly! Our family always loves coming here. It's worth the 30 minute drive for amazing bubble tea :) read more

This is my husband and i's favorite boba shop we have ever tried!!! The best part by far is the boba itself. It's so tender and soft. We were shocked by how great the boba itself was! The price is steeper than other boba shops but we overall thought it was worth it. We got the winter melon milk tea and it was a great flavor and so enjoyable with the boba! read more

Hella Bubble - deluxe boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Cute boba shop in the Galleria area! Perfect spot for a difference scenery for a work from home office which a lot of people seem to do. Really clean with lots of seating. It's cozy and welcoming with jamming tunes playing. The parking can be tricky during peak traffic hours so schedule visiting this area. There is a parking garage in the back which you can park at also. I tried the Hella Bubble Milk Tea which seems to be a popular item. It's a classic milk tea which flavor subtle and not too sweet which I love! The boba is really soft and not as chewy so if that's your cup of tea then this will hit the spot for you! It wasn't too busy ordering drink when I came around 5:10pm. So I ordered and got my drink quickly! read more

Hella Bubble - Hella Bubble Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Wow first time here and wish I didn't live so far. I tried the Thai tea with boba and it's one of the best I've ever had! It wasn't overly sweet like how you would get at typical places, it was creamy, super refreshing and they don't skimp out on the boba- which was cooked perfectly! My son ordered the strawberry smoothie sans foam and lychee jelly but he said he couldn't taste the strawberries on it. The place is nice and clean, the ladies were friendly and efficient. The a/c was on full blast so that was truly appreciated in this heat wave but the music was too loud for my liking lol. read more

I came into the shop and immediately noticed how rude and aggressive the owner is to the employees. So far the drink was good but the owner was not a good example of how a manager should be. read more

I needed to kill some time in between appointments, so I decided to stop at Hella Bubble for a quick drink. The location was extremely clean, and my server was very mannerly. I ordered the mango and passion fruit tea with lychee, and to my surprise, it was not overly sweet, which I loved. My drink was made quickly, the menu was user friendly and readable, and I loved that there were suggestions to calculate your preferred sweetness level. I'd highly recommend Hella Bubble for a casual (first) date or small group hang out spot. read more

Hella Bubble - Mango & passion fruit green tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came here on a weekday evening and got the lemon honey aloe at 50% sweetness, which was refreshing and a perfect balance of tart and sweet. I wanted to do the 30% sweetness (my default), but they told me that 50% is the lowest possible for this drink. Their strawberry smoothie is also very good. The ambiance is bright and welcoming. Service is friendly. There is lot parking out front and a nearby garage as well. read more

I happened to be walking by this place and was in need of caffeine so my friend and I stopped in. I don't drink boba much so I wasn't sure what I wanted. The lady at the counter was really nice and asked me if there was something in particular I wanted. I really was in the mood for coffee so she suggested the coffee milk tea. She explained that it's black tea, coffee powder, non-dairy creamer, and brown sugar. This was great because I don't tolerate lactose. I opted to get mine without any boba, jelly, or anything because I don't care for the texture. My friend ordered the same thing with boba. I didn't even realize I could order it less sweet, but it was really good. I could really taste the tea and coffee which was different. My drink definitely gave me the caffeine fix that I was needing. Tip: Don't forget to check in before you order! I checked in after and realized I could have used a 20% off coupon. I'll be sure to use it next time! read more

Hella Bubble - Coffee Milk Tea (with boba on the left) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Amazing variety of drinks here! The classic bubble milk tea is great, but my favorites are the milk foam drinks. I especially recommend the Wintermelon Tea Milk Foam (50% sweet!) and the Matcha Green Tea Milk Foam. Everything I've tried here has tasted great; I highly recommend if you are looking for good boba/drinks in the area. The only downside and the reason this has 4/5 stars is the price--this place is really expensive. I usually pay around $7.50 for a drink. :( read more

Over the past couple of months this place has gone from being one of my favorite boba spots to one that has become so disappointing to visit. First off, I noticed how much prices have gone up. I sometimes end up paying around $8-$9 for my bubble tea. Today though was very disappointing because I got a Thai Tea which included no tapioca bubbles. I don't understand why a bubble tea place would not include the boba. In the past, this never seemed to be a thing where I needed to ask for the tapioca separately. They didn't ask me if I wanted tapioca or specify that tapioca was not included in the drink. I wouldn't recommend this place in Houston as there are other places with better prices and that do include the tapioca in your drink without having to pay extra. Side Note: You used to be able to check-in on yelp and get 20% off but that was taken away a couple of months ago. read more

Mango green milk tea. Definitely get 50%! Drinks were honestly just decent. Pretty westernized milk tea, with mild to no tea flavor. Mostly reliant on its sugar, dairy and additives for flavor. The other major con is the boba. It was NOT chewy, nor sweet on its own. Definitely overcooked. I was excited that they had mini boba but both it and the regular boba lacked and structure. Also it's expensive. Each drink, plus a topping, is over $6. For just sweetened, flavored milk and over done boba? Naw. See those two stars? That's for the clean interior and extra nice customer service. The ppl that worked there are super kind and helpful. They suggested I get 50% on my drink and thank god. It tasted like normal, still slightly too sweet, melted mango milk. read more

Service was great! Went Tuesday evening. Young man and another girl were working. Girl was very friendly and my drink came out fast. I ordered a (2nd) kiwi fruit tea to go and young man made it very fast as well! It's a nice spot with comfortable seating arrangements. Recommend the Kiwi Fruit Tea and Hella Bubble with less ice. read more

Two days ago, on 8-4-2024, I ordered a matcha latte with boba at this store. While drinking it, I noticed something different get into my mouth. Right away, I spat it on the table where I was sitting. I noticed it was a small cockroach (image). I asked one of the employees to come and look at it, and she came and told me, "I did not see any cockroaches while making it," which was denying the issue (the bubble tea has a cover that makes it impossible for a cockroach to jump into). Then I pointed out that most likely it was in the boba, and then I asked to talk to her manager. Another employee came and suggested making another one for free while they had a cockroach in their boba pot. When I asked them to call their boss or store owner, they refused and told me they didn't have the phone number. Also, they refused to sell boba, and they were not even dumping the boba from the pot. When I asked them if they needed to dump that boba, they told me, "We will do it only if our boss says so." they were still selling to other people, so I had to tell to the customers to not buy. Even they did not tell people who were sitting there and drinking the bubble tea with boba, and I had to go and tell the people. I waited for two days, and they even did not call me (I left my phone number there). read more

I could've sworn I've reviewed this place... but alas, maybe it changed its name? Idk. All I know is I strictly come here due to location convenience. I love taking my kids here and they do enjoy their drinks. However, any time I ask a question about a drink I've never tried, I don't get a coherent response, and I have yet to encounter a staff member that both looks directly at me and smiles. They seem sluggish and not super happy with their current situation. Maybe I'm reading into it too much. It's a cute place, but parking is kind of a B. read more

Yo my name is Fox and I'm a strange Fella, I eat pretty much anything but Salmonella, F. Scott Fitzgerald's cool but I prefer Ella, And Burning Man's nice but I'd rather do Coachella. I went to the bank and there was a cute Teller, I sweet-talked him into coming to my Cellar, We role-played, I was Yoda, he was Helen Keller, He showed me how to Windmill, I taught him to Propeller. I said my diamond's so hard I make that Tiffany Jeller, He said I make sausage disappear faster than Penn & Teller, I said you make The Jam better than Paul Weller, But is it really meant to be the colour of Nutella? So then he was hungry, I was hungry as Wella, (Please no comments on my skill as a Speller), I said, there's this place where the Boba is Sweller, And I took him for some Boba from the Bubble named HELLA WHAT And.. If girls of the world ain't nothin' but TROUBLE Then ease your troubles with a trip to HELLA BUBBLE Your life's in ruins, so crawl out of the RUBBLE Single scoop of tapioca pearls? Get DOUBLE If Boba is a telescope, this place is HUBBLE There's nowhere better from here to HUMBLE Not sure why I think Bubble rhymes with HUMBLE I'll turn into Kendrick Lamar if I keep saying HUMBLE By the way my last Yelp review went VIRAL This could be the night that my dreams might let me know all the stars are CLOSER Now can we please get back to rhyming HELLA BUBBLE Boba's swelling my belly, but I still have to GUZZLE Someone quick hurry now bring me a FUNNEL I need a new belt cause I just burst my BUCKLE I'll borrow one from the Bible Belt but they can keep the BIBLE Now that I bashed on religion I'm in TROUBLE And even more trouble cuz I already used TROUBLE F*ck it, forget it, just go to HELLA BUBBLE WHAT Fred Flintstone came here once because he thought it said Hella Barney Rubble. Honestly the drinks here taste nothing like Rubble to me (although I'm not admitting to knowing what rubble tastes like). They do taste like Rubles... as in they're money, and as sexy as a Russian gymnast. Da. Simply one of the best bubble tea shops to open up in the Houston area, which is one of the best bubble areas anywhere on the planet. I was not expecting anything great to pop up in the Galleria whatsoever, because I mean let's face it this isn't exactly a hot spot for Asian food, Asian drinks, or general international authenticity. Yet even if it were in Chinatown, HB would hold its own well. I've always liked the owners, they're hella friendly, and their products are generally excellent. On most occasions that we've been here I've thoroughly enjoyed whatever products, and I miss the Creme Brulee they used to sell here which was one of my fave desserts. Their milk teas are excellent and their fruit teas are top-notch and nothing ever tastes fake. Tease here taste homemade and strong, and with sweetness adjustment it's perfect. They opened up a second location in the Heights, that's because of the excellent taste and wonderful ownership. It's a tiny space, but that just makes it like a kinda Boutique of Boba, which fits in really well with the very high-end shopping experience of Highland Village. Not Hella Hubble (in space), Hella Rubble (Barney), Hella Stubble (if I don't shave), Hella Cuddle (girls, cats, and dogs love it), and Big Bubble In Little Hella (bad Kurt Russell movie). Anyway I have other reviews to JUGGLE And if I keep skipping sleep I'm gonna get UGGLE Meanwhile Barbi just wants to SNUGGLE I feel like Sean Paul with my DAILY STRUGGLE (DAILY STRUGGLE!) But first, rap! Bella gave me my groove back just like Stella, Tapioca so good it can be eaten Acapella, Creme Brulee like Coldplay (it was all Yella), The Boba is Hella Good here at Hella. If it was in Brazil it would rule the Favela, If my tummy is a cell then this Boba's the Flagella, If Starbucks is a one-liner, this is a Novella, This slice is "Taylor Lautner", not Edward or Bella. I ran so fast to get here, I ruptured my Patella, When I slipped in the rain and almost caught Rubella, Until Rihanna let me stand under her Umbrella. Ella Ella. Eh Eh Eh. We went to the Pub and we shared a pint of Stella, We Netflix & Chilled while we watched Barbarella, We made out and listened to Michael Jackson's Thrella, She showed me her Hopeless Place, I showed her my Goodfella. I had her like Cabaret had Liza Minella, I got repelled like Citronella when I ate her Paella, But I chose not to tell her, that she smelled of Mortadella, Cuz she looked like Cinderella and I ruled her like Mandela. She said "I went to Harvard" so I showed her my Cornella, Then I asked Ri Ri if she'd be my Abuela, She said "that means Granny!" and tried to cap me like Old Yeller, I ran away, but after days, I could still smell her... So I wrote a tell-all book and it became a bestseller. (But the straight-to-TV movie was less-than-stellar). (Now come and get a Boba from the Bubble named Hella). (And since you asked, I'm a grower *and* a shower *and* a sweller). read more

Oolong milk foam tea with Boba, no ice, no sugar. The drink was perfect and exactly what I wanted. The tapioca was chewy. The foam balanced my tea and the ratio of drink to foam to tapioca was perfect. Drinks were made fast. Orders were placed fast. Interior clean. Cashier was polite. Tiolet was clean. Price a tad high but worth it to me. My friends didn't enjoy their drinks though. The wintermelon is a syrup. The taro doesn't come with taro balls and they use taro powder. I appreciate the honesty of their drinks. read more

Why 4 stars? Because the "real taro" was definitely unique. --- --- ---- At boba shops, I usually opt for smoothies, and I'm a sucker for basic taro, so this was a pretty easy choice for me. However, I do with there was a note on the menu that indicated more clearly that this is like *actual* taro, not the super purple, artificial (but delicious) flavoring that we're all used to at this point. So while this drink was very minimally sweet, the nice thing about it is that you didn't feel gross after drinking it. It was pretty refreshing, but without being heavy. Granted, I came here being very okay with drinking something heavy, so I was a little bummed, but I'm glad I ordered it, in the end. With that being said, for my next visit, I will probably try another item. If only I didn't live an hour+ away, or I'd make visit #2 happen in the very near future. For now, I'll just have to leave it on the list of places I might visit when I'm in the area again. read more

Hella Bubble is located one the ground floor of a small multi-level complex with little parking located right in front of the store, however there is a free parking deck nearby. It was really clean inside and the decor was simple and cute. Staff was attentive and quick to serve so I don't have complaints there. Perhaps it's the location, but I feel the menu is overpriced. I ordered a matcha red bean smoothie with ice cream. I didn't bother ordering additional toppings since it was nearly a dollar per extra topping. If you check in on Yelp, you get a small 20% discount, which I think makes the price a little more reasonable. I personally didn't taste that much matcha in my smoothie so I was disappointed with my drink. I can't really comment on the quality of their bubbles either. If you're in the area and craving teas or smoothies, you could stop by here. But I wouldn't go out of my way to stop by here. There are plenty of other bubble tea shops elsewhere that are more reasonably priced with good quality. read more

Probably the best boba that I've had in a while. The tea was so smooth and creamy, and the boba had the perfect consistency! They were so sweet and chewy, and a lot was given in my cup.

Tried their coffee milk tea with milk foam. It was ok. You can taste the coffee a little bit. The milk foam was a nice touch because it has a saltiness to it. I didn't alter the sugar, ice level, or add other any topping like boba. It definitely had a little too much ice for my liking. The sugar amount was decent. It wasn't that sweet. Also, they don't give out samples. Overall it's a good place to meet up with a friend or come with your laptop to study/work. The size is similar to 2 nearby Teahouse locations. read more

One of the best boba places in Houston in my opinion! Their boba texture is almost always ideal - I have gotten a mushy batch here and there at the end of the day but with their long hours I'd expect that! I'd recommend the hella bubble deluxe milk tea and the winter melon milk tea - both super good esp if you adjust the sweetness to be lower. Kiwi tea is yummy too! I've tried half the menu at this point and you really can't go wrong with anything. This is also a good place to get work done if you don't mind slightly louder music - there is free wifi and outlets near almost all the seats. :) It's a cute space and the Staff and owner r also super nice! read more

If I could give it a zero I would. This place used to be my favorite boba spot in Houston but the service has been terrible recently. The employees don't know how to answer simple questions about the drinks. The employees are always loud and the music is either loud or very quiet. Theres also are cockroaches around the place. I don't know what happened since I last came but it is very different, least to say I'm disappointed. read more

Late night out and craving some boba so I looked up boba places near me and found this one. The parking lot is pretty small and is shared with several other businesses but on a Saturday night we found parking easy. The store is bright and cheery and very clean and the service was quick. I tried out the Thai Tea with boba and egg pudding, and my bf got the Coffee Smoothie with icecream. I reallly enjoyed my drink, the Thai tea tasted nice and wasnt overly sweet, the boba and egg pudding were really good as well. The coffee smoothie was surprisingly good, but the icecream does make it very sweet. Overall really liked this spot and I plan on coming back to try more of their drink options. read more

Hella Bubble - Hella Bubble Milk tea with boba and lychee. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm beyond disappointed with this place. I've visited countless boba and food spots, but I've never experienced anything like this. I'm a UGC creator and was planning to create a free video for them because we were in the area. My daughter wanted boba, so I looked up a nearby spot, and this one came up. From the moment I walked in, I felt unwelcome. Even though there were three staff members, I stood there waiting for 5 minutes before anyone even acknowledged me. I've been to so many teahouses--Ding Tea is one of my favorites--and I've always been treated with kindness and respect. Then, my 3-year-old daughter accidentally dropped her drink. I immediately felt terrible and apologized. I understand that accidents are frustrating, but the staff's attitude was shocking. Instead of showing a little compassion, they were visibly annoyed and made us feel like we didn't belong there. Kids will be kids, and I wasn't expecting special treatment, but to be treated so rudely is unacceptable. Customer service? 0/10. The drinks? 3/10--and that's being generous. Their attitude? 0/10. It was obvious they didn't want to make the replacement drink. When I went up to ask politely if I could get a new one, they just glared at me and, with so much frustration, said, "We'll do it once we clean this up..." I apologized again, trying to be understanding. When they finally handed me the drink, the vibe was just cold--filled with attitude. The girls behind the counter looked like they couldn't wait to be anywhere else. I've never felt so unwanted at any boba or food spot. This experience was so upsetting, and I will never be coming back here again. read more

My friends hyped this place up but I had some misgivings for a boba shop no where near Chinatown and without Asian employees. I got the milk tea (half sweet) since milk tea is usually the first drink I try at a new spot. I don't know if it was due to the lack of sweetness or the tea itself, but I did not taste any milk tea flavor at all...it was bland. The menu had lots of options from fruity to milky so maybe I have to stop by another time to give them a second chance. read more
