I Heart Biceps
Fox E.

IHeartBoba is still better than IHeartRadio but that's not saying much. The location on Hwy 6 sent me hate mail, called me a liar, became abusive and threatening, because they didn't like a 3-star review of a very very bad boba they sold me years ago. After I lowered it to a 1-star, they apologized, but if I wanted to get that kind of illegal abuse, I'd go back to high school. The employees at this location are absolutely lovely and deserve 5 stars. The drinks are still pretty average, I'd say it's a 4-star Viet Iced Coffee but a lot of the other drinks are not quite as good. The milk tea is okay. The tapioca is a bit rubbery. They're a chain, they're cheap-ish, I think the ownership is shady AF and if they don't like your review, they may totally come for you in my experience. Based on that, I try to avoid all these stores and tell everyone what happened to me and how dishonest and threatening they can be. But just for this location and their excellent employees and decent products, as well as serving me close to closing time, I give 4 stars.

While traveling in the area, I stopped in to pick up a boba tea. They offer a variety of teas as well as sandwiches. We ordered the Thai tea and coconut cream tea, both with boba. They were both delicious. Boba was soft, which is good. The service was friendly and quick. Interior is clean and beautifully decorated. They even have a little area with games. Parking is convenient.

Great friendly service, great menu choices. Plus they honor Yelp discount. The coffee milk tea was really good 50% sugar--strong coffee. My daughter had the cookies and cream regular sugar-- super duper sweet. I recommend halfing the sugar. I gagged with just one sip of her drink. Overall my drink was perfect! Cute interior. Outside area looked shady-- as in iffy, not so sure if it's safe or good. Go check it out!

Chai Tea Latte with boba, sooo yummy.

Got the Chai Tea Latte with boba, sooo yummy. Definitely give it a try. I'm gonna come back here often and try other drinks. They also have sandwiches which I'm gonna have to try as well. The shop is very nice in the inside very clean. If your looking for good drinks stop on in.

I see this place everyday while driving home. I also saw on yelp that they were offering buy one drink get another for 50% off. Pretty solid deal. I tried it out today and was disappointed. The drinks were not good. The employees were nice and patient though. I ordered a frozen matcha tea and blueberry smoothie, both with boba. Both drinks were just too sweet in my opinion. I'm mainly dissatisfied with the consistency of the smoothies. They were very watery. I expected a more thicker consistency. The flavors of matcha and blueberry were there, but the sweetness and watery consistency was too much for my palate. Overall, below average boba smoothies. The drinks were kind of expensive as well at around ~$4 a piece without boba. Good thing they are offering the buy one get one 50% off deal on yelp check in. Definitely worth a visit because of this yelp deal. I probably won't be coming back though.

Came here again since I wanted something different. I was a bit hesitant because my boyfriend and his parents also wanted a sandwich, and it was a bit salty last time I came for a bahn mi. THEY WERE AMAZING TODAY!! Everyone loved their sandwich; my picky boyfriend said he's getting two next time! We also ordered a honeydew cream tea and a pineapple slushie. Again, they didn't disappoint. The place was clean and the employees very friendly. Keep up the good work ya'll, we will be stopping by more often.

Peach banana smoothie with egg pudding and thai tea

They don't honor the 50% off for first time check in but boba is boba. Drinks were not expensive at all but they should not have the discount in their check in if they aren't going to follow through

ambiance

staff are quite friendly and efficient. frozen mocha drink was good overall. ambiance is cute

Milk tea coffee
Truc T.

Located in a sketchy area so just be careful of your surrounding since it is in Alief. The store has plenty of spots to sit and relax. Free wifi so that's a plus. Milk tea coffee (6/10): It's a hit or miss on the flavor. Sometimes I feel like I'm drinking fresh,fully loaded caffeinated coffee. Other times I feel like my coffee was diluted. They need to work on the consistency of this particular drink. However, it is more convenient for me to come here during lunch hours than to drive further out towards Chinatown. They sell smoothies, slushies, and super affordable fresh juices that I have yet to try. I am too sleepy by the time lunch rolls around so that's why I haven't gotten a chance to try their other drinks. They even sell Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi's) here! If you're close by, then I do recommend trying this place!

CHICHA San Chen - Green tea + milk + boba

Chi Cha San Chen is a Taiwanese boba chain that utilizes a patented "teapresso" machine to freshly…read morebrew premium teas for their drinks. I've visited many times and have been impressed with the consistency of both the tea and boba. My go-tos are the Cassia Black Tea, Dong Ding Oolong Tea, and Green Tea, all with Cream and Bubble. I typically order their drinks with less lce and light sugar, which have been perfect for me. Their fruit teas are also delicious, although I would definitely recommend reducing the sugar level to allow the tea flavor to shine through. The size of their drinks is also perfect for me; large enough to enjoy but small enough to not be overwhelming. At this location you can order at the kiosk or at the cashier, which helps to expedite the line especially when it gets busy. You could consider studying here, especially with its notably large tables, however seating is limited and it can get loud during rush hour. I would highly recommend Chi Cha San Chen, especially if you've never tried a high-quality, tea-forward milk or fruit tea.

I'm a big fan of CHICHA San Chen, and I've had the chance to visit locations in Southern California…read moreas well as the headquarters in Taiwan, so I was really excited to try the Houston location. I'm happy to say that the quality did not disappoint! What I love about CHICHA San Chen is that each drink is freshly brewed to order. Rather than preparing large batches of tea ahead of time, the tea is brewed individually when you place your order using their signature tea-press technology. You can really taste the difference--the tea is fragrant, fresh, and flavorful. My absolute favorite is the King Bubble Black Tea with Cream. The combination of the rich black tea, creamy topping, and chewy king pearls is just SO good! I was also pleasantly surprised that the Houston location still offers the Taro Series. The taro drinks are another favorite of mine, and it's wonderful to see that Houston has kept this part of the menu. After visiting CHICHA San Chen in different places, I can honestly say that Houston holds up beautifully. The tea quality, fresh preparation, and overall experience are exactly what I have come to expect from the brand. CHICHA San Chen never fails to deliver! If you're a serious tea or boba lover, this is definitely worth a visit.

Drink taste like syrup water with pieces of fruits floating on top, zero percent taste of tea. Pretty disappointing esp this is my first time trying. I'm not sure if it makes sense to taste that sweet even though it's half sweet request in anticipation of strawberry boba. Service: 3 stars for their kind service and sweet recommendation of popular drinks. We came near closing time 8:30 pm and the place is still full of people from study groups to late night couple outing. However, it took 3 people to make about 10 drinks in 20 min wait time is not very efficient. There are 10 drinks before my order and the staffs took about almost half an hour to make is not very efficient in comparison to busier establishments in Chinatown. Ambience: lots of table occupied by study book worms utilizing WiFi. Nothing wrong, just feel like we cannot speak loud or enjoy our conversation without feeling disruptive. Overall, I might come by if I'm in the area to maybe give it a second try.

I was recommended MTea because I was looking for a nice place to study at and wanted a yummy drink…read moreto sip on. The Thai Green Tea was very delicious. The tea comes very sweet if you order it as it is, so I found that ordering the drink with half sugar was the perfect balance of sweetness while not distracting from the tea flavor. I liked how creamy the tea was, and appreciated how it wasn't watery and diluted. The avocado smoothie was very dense but still tasty also. Spent a good 4 hours here studying and had no complaints. Wifi was stable and the seats were comfy. There was plenty of seating even on a weekend and almost every seat was near an outlet. There were a lot of students there studying so the environment is pretty quiet. If you are in the area and want to study or grab a flavorful drink, stop by and order a Thai Green Tea. 9/10!

It's a lot more spacious with nice seating options. They've also expanded their menu a lot with lots of drink options and snack/dessert options. I got the rose lychee green tea which comes with little lychee chunks on the bottom. At 75% sweet I'd say it was a good amount of sweetness for my preference. I'd come back just because they have lots of interesting flavor options that I'd be curious to try. Pricing is pretty standard these days with a drink coming out to around $6-$7.

I've been going to Teahouse in Houston for over 2 decades. I've only been to this location a couple…read moreof times. There isn't as much to do here as the other location where there is/was games & things to read as well as snacks. This location seemed clean & looks decent. This location is also close to some fun Asian hangs & grocery stores. However, I didn't enjoy the back & forth involved in having to get my drink order correctly. When placing the order, I asked for a frozen slushy/snow type drink & so did my daughter. Walking away, I noticed a price difference on the screen (the lady refused to give a receipt when we asked - and no one was getting a receipt which I thought was weird). When we got our order, we got different drinks. My daughter got the texture I wanted & I got an iced drink. It's fine I thought, communication issue I'm sure. But the lady at the counter argued with me as I explained that I wanted what my daughter had, that was what I tried to explain earlier (an issue that perhaps would've been prevented if I had a receipt). Eventually she agreed to make me a new drink & I apologized while thanking her profusely - but as I walked away, the two younger women in the back kept looking up & laughing very loudly. Just seriously mean behavior. I don't think I'll be returning. The drink sizes, large selection, pricing & location is more my style at Teapioca anyways.
