This place is so cute on the inside. Beautifully decorated with japanese cherry blossoms. Popped in for a tea. They have such a variety and some unique combinations such as pink flamingo. It's actually in fact what i ordered. Plus lychee jelly of course! Service was quick! The guy taking the orders was very helpful in telling me the ingredients in certain combinations I have. I'll be back and how about i save you a spot too?

They forgot to add the popping strawberry boba to my drink which was the whole reason why I went.

The staff were super friendly. The store was clean and cozy and had many seats. I got peach tea, and it was super delicious. Highly recommend!

Koi Cha was a random find for me. I was out running errands and the hunger pangs hit while on a boba kick. Lo and behold, Yelp helped me find this spot to take care of both my needs. The inside is nice and cute and reminded me of some spots from Chinatown. Staff was friendly so I let them pick what I got. I ended up with the Koi Cha Cream Tea with boba and some spicy popcorn chicken. The tea was very tasty and refreshing. The popcorn chicken fit right into my cup holder and was easy to munch on while running my errands. The chicken was hot and crispy and perfectly spiced. I love finding random spots that I never had bookmarked. It just shows how awesome our food scene is in Houston!

If you play with your boba then this can be your TOY CHA If you want a lovely drink, this can bring you JOY CHA If your name is Scheider, this can be your ROY CHA And if you're in Southbelt, get yourself to KOI CHA If you are a vegetarian, just ask for SOY CHA Don't be shy, just say what you want, don't be COY CHA You'll get big and strong just like Brad Pitt in TROY CHA And all because you came to get your boba on at KOI CHA If you're not actually a boba fan, it's all a PLOY CHA But if you are, you'll love this one, cause it's the Real MCCOY CHA It's the best Boba shop from Ipanema to ILLINOIS CHA So when in Houston, you have to go to KOI CHA WHAT One of Houston's loveliest Boba shops, and one which I am proud to call myself a regular visitor to. The owners are wonderful people, and the drinks they make are wonderful too. Paul Simon said there's no need to be Koi, Roy. But there is a need to be Koi Cha, especially if you're in Houston and want Boba, and that's regardless of whether your name's Roy or not. One of the best Boba shops in the Houston area, especially if you look at all the ones that aren't in the Chinatown area. Koi Cha is really dominating the Southbelt area in terms of excellent Boba, and wonderful ownership too, and delicious drinks, and definitely some of the most awesome and memorable decor of any boba shop that we've been to in the Houston area. They even sell their super cute boba plush toys, way too adorable! If you date a lineman then it might be WICHI-KOI-TA If you want a lot of wives, it's probably KOI-UTAH If you wanna be a fancy bird, it's KOI-MACAW But if you want the best boba, come to KOI CHA And if you want a homophobic World Cup, it's KOI QATAR If you wanna Take On Me, it's probably KOI A-HA If you wanna not have a baby, just KOI WITHDRAW But if you want the best boba, come to KOI CHA And if you want desire, then it's named KOI STREETCAR If you want more kitty cat pix, it's KOI PAW If you're Thin Lizzy, then it's Whiskey In The KOI JAR But if you want the best boba, come to KOI CHA If you want a more liberal Iran, it's KOI SHAH But if you want a less liberal Iran, it's KOI FATWA And if you're in Iran, it really isn't JEFFREE KOI STAR But if you want the best boba, come to KOI CHA If you wanna get drunk, go instead to a KOI BAR If you live nowhere near Houston, this location's too KOI FAR Unless you don't mind a nice ride in your KOI CAR To come and get a Boba here at KOI CHA If they get all hipster they might serve drinks in a Mason KOI JAR If the sharp end of the straw cuts your face, you'll get a KOI SCAR I like to take slutty picture here, along with my Porn KOI STAR But if you want the best bobas, come to KOI CHA WHAT Koi Cha. We're definitely talking about one of the better places in the Greater Houston area for Boba. We're also talking about some of the nicest owners of any of the places that I've been, and I look forward to coming back here many times in the future for this reason. Now for some more rapping, but while you're reading, get here ASAP. But don't crash. Don't text and drive. Or read Yelp and drive. Or something. If you wanna pamper yourself, it's KOI SPA If you spend time with your mother, it's KOI MA If you read my Yelp stuff and laugh, it's KOI HA If you wanna go get drunk, it's KOI BAR If you wanna then get arrested, drive a KOI CAR If you wanna show your underwear, it's KOI BRA If you wanna only date the rich, get with KOI BOURGEOIS If you wanna do it drunk, try KOI STELLA ARTOIS If you wanna go to the dentist, say KOI AAAH If you wanna get with a pirate, it's KOI ARRRR If you wanna get with my Barbie, it's KOI AHHHH But if you want the best boba drinks, come to KOI CHA And if I pull my d*** out then... oh crap I went too KOI FAR.

After lunch my husband wanted boba and we came across this cute little gem on Google. It's in a small business strip center, the decor is very modern and hip, they also have a couple of seating areas where you can do some photo ops. There's also some board games to place if you want to stay and hangout. They seem to have a large variety of teas, as well as toppings. Not only do they offer teas, but they have small bites as well, such as takoyaki, popcorn chicken, Korean corn dogs, Vietnamese eggrolls, shrimp tempura, cajun seasoned fries, macarons, and Japanese fruit sandos. I ended up ordering their strawberry matcha milk tea with traditional tapioca and he got the lychee on lychee with aloe Vera. I absolutely enjoyed my drink, and the strawberry puree that was on the bottom seemed fresh. My husband enjoyed his drink as well and said it was very refreshing. Koi Cha seems like a nice little spot to kick back and enjoy some boba tea with a snack along with some good company, we will definitely be coming back!

Found this place by chance and fell in love with their teas. My sister got the taro smoothie with boba and she said it's the best taro she ever had. I ordered their koi signature milk tea and boy the taste gave me nostalgia of a boba shop in MN with their "golden milk tea" taste. Their boba is soft and slightly too chewy for me. Everything else was amazing and we will definitely be back to try out more flavors and food items!

Cream Tea

Their tea is okay. Takoyaki ball way too cheesy. If you ask for no ice, you'll get 70% of the full cup. Would not come back here. Won't recommend. There are better places.

Recommended place for boba and hangout with your friend in south Houston. I love the peach green tea thmost.

Popcorn Chicken, Takoyaki, Coconut Kumkwat, and Passion Fruit Green Tea

This location in Pearland, Texas is one of the biggest coffee shops around the area but also has a…read moredrive-through for those in a hurry. It is a wonderful place to gather with friends or family, to study, or just enjoy a delicious coffee and treat on your own! They have 3 private offices and a large conference room available to rent and also has a cozy kid's room for your littles to play in. Perfect for moms wanting to catch up. They also have a section of merch to purchase. Besides all of this, their drinks and selection of baked goods are delicious!! It's a must try if you're in the area.

We really do enjoy First Cup Coffee Co. The atmosphere is probably one of my favorite things about…read moreit. It's such a nice place to sit, relax, and spend time together. We can literally sit there for hours talking while our youngest plays in the play area. The lattes are really good, and my daughter loves the hot chocolate. The pastries and treats are a little hit or miss. The almond croissant is definitely the winner and probably my favorite thing we've tried. My middle daughter really likes the brownie. She did say she thinks there may be cinnamon or something else added to the chocolate muffin because there was a flavor in it that threw her off a little. The pecan cinnamon roll was pretty good. The blueberry scone, though, tasted like it had maybe been frozen too long? I'm not completely sure, but there was just something about the taste and texture that was a little off. The savory items are good, but I do think they need to work on reheating them. The chorizo empanada had really good flavor, but the outside dough was still soggy because it wasn't heated long enough. It needed more time to crisp up. The same thing happened with the ham and cheese croissant. The bottom was very soggy, and it was only slightly warm throughout. One thing I really hope First Cup considers adding is nutritional information for their menu items. On our last visit, my 15 year old son came with us and wanted to try some things. He has Type 1 Diabetes, and having nutritional information, especially carbohydrate counts, is extremely important because we have to calculate his insulin based on what he eats. The staff did not have this information available or know where to find it. I know nutritional information is not required for every business, but for families like ours, it's not just a preference. Managing Type 1 Diabetes means constantly making calculations to keep my son safe. Without accurate information, we are left guessing, and guessing with insulin can mean his blood sugar goes too high or too low. As a mom, it's hard enough managing all of the daily decisions that come with T1D. My son should be able to go out with his family, try new foods, and enjoy a normal experience without us having to wonder if we are making the right choice for his health. Having this information available would make a huge difference, not only for people with diabetes but also for customers with allergies or other dietary needs. Even with these concerns, we really do love the feel of First Cup. It's a welcoming place with a great atmosphere, and we will continue coming back. I just hope they consider improving the reheating process and adding nutritional information because those changes would make an already great place even better.
