IMPRESSED! Matcha…read moredrinks here are so good! My children love them and want to come back for more. For me, personally, this is a quite long time since I could drink all of a matcha drink. They all taste very good. The service is friendly and professional. You can see the baristas are making drinks through the window and they smile back to you even though Cocha is busy there. Ambiance: Sharing space with other stores, this look like a small food hall. So the parking is a little bit challenging. - If you just order drink, you might need to park on the street ( follow the instruction sign/photo I attach below) - If you also order food, you might park in the parking lot. Anyway, We also have an order of waffle in the hall. Waffle + matcha can get along pretty fine. So, even though there is quite a bit inconvenience with parking, the drinks are so good beyond expectations that I can happily rate oir experience 5. COCHA is definitely a gem! Best, Chloe

The Houston girlies definitely know their matcha, so when I kept seeing Cocha consistently ranked…read moreas one of the top matcha spots in Houston, my friend and I knew we had to try it!! We both have pretty high standards when it comes to matcha, so I was excited to see if it lived up to the hype. The shop itself is more of a walk-up window than a café, so don't expect a lot of indoor seating. Even though there were quite a few people waiting when we got there, our drinks came out SO fast, which I really appreciated. I will say it's definitely on the pricier side, and the cup sizes are a little small. That being said, the matcha itself was really solid! It had a nice, rich matcha flavor without being overly bitter, and you could tell they used good quality matcha. My friend and I can both be pretty picky when it comes to matcha, and we both left impressed. Overall, I can definitely see why this place is always recommended whenever people ask for the best matcha in Houston! If you're a fellow matcha lover, I'd definitely recommend checking it out. Just be prepared to pay a little more for a smaller drink--but I still think it's worth trying at least once!

White Dubai chocolate bar - $11 - I think I'll stick to the dark chocolate or milk chocolate varieties as this was a little too sweet for me. It was a good bar, with plenty of pistachio cream and crushed kataifi on the inside. Adeni chai - ($5) - Not as creamy as the Adeni chai I had at Royal Roastery but this was aromatic and had strong cardamom flavors. Overall, this is a great spot to experience Arab culture and some unique treats and beverages. They have a large seating area to socialize.

I ordered a 16oz pistachio Frappuccino, a Turkish baklava and another round pastry. The Frappuccino did have a rich flavor of pistachio that did not taste artificial while still keeping some of the coffee flavor and the sweetness was just right by not being too sweet or the lack there of. The Turkish baklava had a nice crunch to it due to the outer layer and on the inside was a smooth creamy texture both pairing well with each other. The other dessert or pastry, I'm not sure on the name but it was my favorite. It also had the same crunch as the baklava but the center had a sweet nuttiness to it that reminded me of a Mexican dessert, although small the flavors made up for it. Service is pretty quick as there seems to be about 3 maybe 4 employees behind the counter and the area is very large with a seating area that is just as large.

This is a great spot to get some solo work done or meet with a group. It is not too loud, and they are located within a strip so parking is plentiful. Their menu had a wide variety of hot/cold drinks and sweet treats that you'd typically find in a Yemeni coffee shop, all reasonably priced. The pistachio latte was good, nothing extra memorable but it was what I was looking for in the moment. Keeping this place in mind next time I plan to work remotely from River Oaks (:

Iced pistachio latte ($7.50) - This latte had a strong pistachio flavor and had almost a buttery feel to it. I really enjoyed it and it was one of the better pistachio lattes that I have tried. Dubai chocolate ($6) - This consisted of a large milk chocolate bar filled with rich pistachio cream and kataifi (crispy shredded phyllo dough). It tasted amazing and much better than most places selling these. Pricing was reasonable. Overall I enjoyed my latte and dessert. The interior has some Yemeni decor and there is quite a bit of seating. The only negative is that I wish they had more sweet and snack offerings.

This is how I judge if this tea house making a good tea. I believe if the tea house can't even make the basic tea drink right, the business won't last long.

The staff is always friendly and nice. Too bad not many tea lovers haven't discovered this location ~ make sure stop by to give it a try if you are in the neighborhood

There was a watermelon slush without the cheese foam, but I didn't see it until after I ordered my drink. But I'll definitely be back for more. So I ordered the White Peach Tea as recommended by the cashier. He informed me that it was be a good choice if I wanted something sweet, and it was. I added lychee boba to it as well. It was a nice refreshing drink. Other patrons really seemed to be enjoying their purchases there too.

There's a (relatively) new coffee house in town, and it is a goodie…read more Moharani Coffee House opened a few months ago in the Tanglewood area. If you read online or ask those in the establishment, they'll tell you the coffee is Bangladeshi-inspired. I'm not going to pretend I know anything about Bangladeshi-inspired coffee, but (at least in my opinion) I do know about good taste. This place has it. When I first came to Moharani about a month ago, I tried the Mango Raja - Moharani's version of the mango matcha latte. This honestly may be one of the best drinks I've ever had anywhere. And it's made with great care. I was at Moharani with a host of friends and I noticed the Mango Raja took the longest to make. When they serve it, the presentation is also top notch with the mango puree on the bottom - I like the puree version because the chunks are tiny and goes well with the drink as opposed to large mango chunks. You'll see it in my picture. The super kind workers there recommended I give the drink a good stir before I drink it. So I did, and oh my goodness. Yes I'll be back for this. But also when I was there, one of my friends ordered the Dhakamisu, which is a tiramisu latte, complete with a ladyfinger with the drink. If you enjoy tiramisu, which I do, this drink can be addicting, and my friend who ordered it, along with several others who messaged me upon seeing I visited Moharani, have similar very complimentary sentiments. So I knew that, before I wrote a review on Moharani, I needed to try the Dhakamisu myself. Today, I did. And yes, it lived up to the hype. That said, because I am very much a mango person, as evidenced by some of my previous reviews, the Mango Raja will likely be my top drink of choice at Moharani. Parking hasn't been problem whenever I've gone - Moharani is part of a plaza. The vibes are also super laid-back and chill with plenty of seating tables and also a few tables outside. Service is super friendly. And if you have any questions, they are more than willing to answer. I'm a big fan! This place is top notch in my book and well worth the trip. I'm actually still thinking of that Mango Raja right now as I type all this out.

I actually loved my first visit, I came back with my husband the next day. I first ordered the pistachio latte hot. I asked for light syrup and low fat milk which was perfect for me. It had chunks of pistachio in it which was cool. The second day I came back with my husband and he ordered the same pistachio latte but full sweet and I got the pandan latte with light ice, light foam, and low fat milk. They incorporate the low fat milk well as some places tend to burn it. The pandan was great and I'm not even a ice coffee lover. Smooth, creamy. I could not really taste the pandan but the matcha came across. I asked the barista about their syrups and beans. I learned that most of their syrups are made in house and they get their beans from a family friend. They used to make their own and are thinking about doing it again which is a great sign of a quality shop. For sure a great little place.

The donuts at the counter are vegan too (and fairly tasty though just a little dry and a little less dense than I might prefer). The smoothies and the juices steal the show here. Delicious, rich, and tasty options. The one warning is the smoothie bowls are good, but not truly great. Nonetheless, this is a must try place and you will feel better for having done so.
