    Miffy Sakura cold brew
    Jessica T.

    I really want to love this place as I've been here about three times now, and each time I've left a little underwhelmed by the drinks. I've tried a few different ones, but I keep wishing for more depth in flavor... like the earthiness of matcha or the brightness of citrus to really come through. It's especially disappointing considering I commute quite a ways to get here. That said, the shop itself is super cute! I love the decor and the cute little Photo Booth inside! it's a cozy little tea spot with so many matcha options, probably the most I've seen in Houston. The service has always been great too. The staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations, which I really appreciate. I haven't found the one yet, but I'm not giving up. I'll definitely keep trying this and hopefully, with a little customization, I can find a combo that really hits the spot.

    I had the matcha strawberry blend, and I am very surprised with the flavors. I really taste the matcha but it doesn't overpower the strawberry and vice versa. It was a good balance. It doesn't look as pretty as my friend's peach latte though. My friend also really enjoyed her peach latte and said she could really taste the coffee. I like my drink so much I have to go back again soon!! The place is overall small but cute and clean. There is a big photo booth inside that takes up space but it's a good attraction point as well. Staff was also ok.

    Rice Balls

    We knew we had to get Junbi while we were in Houston for the weekend. They had a seasonal drink -- Pandan Matcha Latte and it was so refreshing! Of course, I had my usual Blended Dirty Matcha. Before we left town, we also got some of their delicious rice balls. They were perfect for the drive home and tasted really fresh. The space is so cozy and I love that they have board games we can play if we want to stay a while. There was also a photo booth for those who wanted to take pictures and have them printed out. There was a line and we were in a rush so we decided to skip it. We're definitely going back next time we're in Houston!

    Junbi is located in Katy Asia town and offers a variety of drinks (i.e. matcha lattes, cold brews, hojicha, fruit teas, smoothies, etc.) The interior is super vibrant and cute with their use of bright colors and wood accents. My friend and I ended up ordering the Ube Matcha Latte and Pandan Matcha Latte with boba. And yes, you are able to adjust the sweetness, milk, and ice! S/O to our bobarista Paul! He was very helpful when it came to deciding what drink to order and had such good energy! Both drinks were yummy! I tasted both the pandan and ube more than the matcha but they were both still delicious! And the boba was soft and chewy. Overall, my friend and I both enjoyed our experience at Junbi and I can't want to come back and try their hojicha

    I came in with high hopes for this spot based on what I had heard, but the drinks fell short of expectations. I ordered a few different ones to try: a Pandan Matcha Latte with Almond Jelly, another with Aloe Bits, and a Golden Peach Matcha Latte. The matcha itself was the biggest letdown. It seemed pre-made from a dispenser, and all three drinks tasted watered down. The pandan flavor came across as overly artificial, which overpowered rather than enhanced the drink. I was really looking forward to the Golden Peach Matcha Latte, but even the peach puree could not bring enough life to it. Maybe I visited on an off day, but I was definitely expecting more from this place. On the positive side, the decor is very cute and the staff were warm and attentive, which made the experience better overall.

    I recently stopped by the Katy Asian Town area, and I decided to check out Junbi per my sister's recommendation. For a random Wednesday evening, I was surprised that the store was completely packed. They have a wide variety of matcha drinks, milk teas, fruit teas, refreshers, coffees, smoothies, soft serves, and rice balls. I got the coffee milk blend, and I really liked it. The drink had just the right amount of coffee without it being overpowering or bland. Not pictured, but I also tried their new pandan matcha latte, and that was really tasty. You could really taste both the pandan and the matcha flavors. I would definitely be back again next time I'm in the Katy Asian Town to try more things on their menu.

    Hot Hojicha Latte (3PO)

    Junbi is one of the only spots on the west side where I can find hojicha so it's been my go to when I'm out of powder and I can't make it on my own. I usually get the hojicha latte with cold foam, oat milk and light ice. It ends up being pretty pricy since they charge for alt milk, but convenience keeps me coming back. The yuzu dragonfruit refresher is my favorite drink in the summer and definitely with the price. I've also tried a few seasonal drinks and collabs. Overall, I keep coming back for the convenience, the customer service and the cute and clean space. They have a little Photo Booth and merch as well!

    Strawberry matcha latte and Guava matcha latte
    Andrea K.

    Was pleasantly surprised by how the matcha was balanced out with the fruit flavors. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte at 100% sugar and the Guava Matcha Latte at 50% sugar. I would stick to the 50% sugar next time. There was a small line to order but service was relatively quick, and there were a couple tables and chairs to wait. While on the pricey side at base price, I would come back when craving matcha flavored drinks.

    I was really excited when I heard that Junbi was opening a location in Katy, Texas! I was already aware that they have many locations in other states like California and Hawaii. We ordered the Madagascar Vanilla Latte, Matcha Cold Brew, and the Guava Matcha Latte. The Madagascar latte was my favorite! I loved how you could taste the espresso, unlike most lattes where the coffee flavor tends to get lost when the milk and sugar is added. It had a great balance of flavors and wasn't overly sweet. As for the matcha drinks, I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of matcha in general, so my opinion might not be the best gauge for matcha lovers. The Matcha Cold Brew was not for me--it had a very powerful matcha taste, which I know some people would appreciate, but it was a bit too intense for my preference. On the other hand, the Guava Matcha Latte was more in my comfort zone. The milk helped dilute the matcha, making it less intense, which I liked. Plus, the guava puree added a nice tartness that balanced the drink really well. Overall, I can tell that Junbi uses high-quality matcha imported from Japan, not the kind you'd find at large coffee franchisees. If you're a matcha lover, this place is definitely worth checking out! I'd personally come back for that vanilla latte again and to try their matcha soft serve ice cream.

    My sister has been liking matcha more and wanted to try Junbi. We ordered the mango matcha and the Madagascar vanilla matcha latte. Out of the two, we both liked the Madagascar vanilla matcha latte more. The matcha earthiness was still present, supported by the subtle sweetness of the vanilla. Next time, I think I would ask for it extra sweet but that's personal taste. I wasn't a big fan of the mango matcha latte. The flavoring was good when I mixed it but the texture of the mango bits kind of threw me off. I also felt like the matcha flavor in this one was a bit stronger than in the Madagascar vanilla latte. We came during dinner rush on Saturday so there was a bit of a wait to order and get our drinks but the decorations were cute and they have a photobooth!

    Cold Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Angelica C.

    Strawberry Matcha Latte with boba, 10/10! So happy to visit this tea shop. I've never had a matcha latte with boba before and I know this time won't be my last! My drink was sweet, creamy, icy and refreshing. The matcha was not too overpowering and I could tell they used fresh strawberries for the syrup, none of that powdery stuff! It was super busy most likely since it just opened however we got our drinks within 8 minutes. We also got to take some fun pictures in their photo booth. It was $8 for 2 copies of a 4 pose strip. Will definitely return!

    Cold Matcha Latte*****
    Melissa H.

    Tried their signature matcha latte, but was left a bit disappointed. The drink tasted quite watered down and lacked the bold, earthy matcha flavor I was hoping for. At $9.20 after taxes ($6.50 latte + 1.25 soy milk sub + .75 boba), it's definitely on the pricier end for Houston. For that price point, I expected a much thicker drink. Even in the picture you can see how light it is. Also on the menu, the non-dairy substitute is only .75c unlike the $1.25 that I was charged.

    I was hoping for a good matcha experience, but unfortunately, it didn't quite meet expectations. I ordered the 'Madagascar Vanilla Matcha' but it tasted more like watered-down milk than the rich, vibrant flavor I am use to having. It was pretty disappointing, especially given how much it was hyped up. On top of that, the customer service was lacking. The employees seemed cold and unfriendly, which made the whole experience feel less welcoming. I wasn't expecting overly cheerful service, but a little warmth would have made a big difference. I will say that there menu offers a lot of different flavor matchas compared to other places. The place is super cute. They even have a photobooth you can take pictures in.

    This place is huge! It's a cafe in the front and yoga (I think) studio in the back behind closed…read moredoors. The cafe is huge and spacious with lots of seating. This is a great place to come study or do work on your computer. Some tables have outlets too. The service was good. No complaints. I came here because I heard their matcha is good. Each matcha is $8.5. They claim to use ceremonial grade matcha but under the matcha latte list, there is only one drink labeled CG (ceremonial grade) while others do not. The CG is the basic and they use agave for sweetening. They also don't hand mix per cup. It is pre-batched. I'm not a pre-batch hater although I do prefer each cup to be hand mixed, so I will give it a chance if it tastes good. The CG latte was surprisingly smooth and pretty good! Not bitter at all imo, but it was slightly grainy. They used the perfect amount of agave to balance. It wasn't sweet either. Just perfect balanced flavor for a regular CG matcha latte. The other matcha latte I ordered was the banana. It is SO GOOD! A lot grainier than the CG, though. But I would definitely order that again if I come to Katy. It has a cinnamon flavor in it (probably why it felt grainier than CG) and mixed with the banana flavor was just very yummy. Highly recommend!

    Cute shop that's also a yoga shop. Staff is friendly…read more Drinks are good. A bit inconsistent. But good overall. I love the aesthetic and pastries ain't bad either. If I'm in the area, it's definitely a spot to stop by.

I don't ever ask for drinks to be remade unless it tastes nothing like I ordered, I just go about and let it be but this genuinely appalled me. I go to Wanpo and I enjoy their Mango Sago drink but this experience has led me to never come back because... are you serious?
