Was previously a Daboba hater upon trying it a few years ago at a different location in Houston,…read morebut upon giving this chain another chance recently, specifically at this Southeast Houston location, I fell in love! I'm not sure if this was more of a function of changing locations or the chain improving their recipes overall over time. Anyway, this Daboba location is spacious with 6 booth tables + 2 standalone tables + a couple of outlets + free wifi. You can conveniently order either at the kiosk or cashier. My go-to order is the cheese milk tea (black milk tea with cheese foam on top) and black pearls (boba). I find this to taste perfectly sweet and decadent. I'm excited to try other drink options, including their honey golden pearl milk tea, vanilla coffee frappuccino, and Vietnamese egg coffee.

Friendly staff. I tried the Matcha Green Milk Tea with Pistachio foam and the drink looked…read moredelicious, but in reality, it was straight ass. I didn't taste any matcha whatsoever--it just tasted like milk with a hint of pistachios from the cold foam and nuts on top. I even mixed it up all the way 10 times in circles. No Matcha flavor at all. I didn't even finish it; I tossed it once I got home. At $8+, it's an overpriced drink for the Matcha quality used--or rather, for the amount of matcha they actually put in. I'm too scared to try anything else from this place lol.

It took about 10 minutes despite there being minimal traffic in the restaurant. This is my first time visiting here so not sure what their bases are, I expected it to be more tea forward versus syrupy and sugary. I couldn't finish the whole thing because it was way too sweet. Might be a better option for cold beverages or if looking for dessert.

On the corner of Scott and Elgin, ThirsTea was literally a cool breeze in the hot sun. Large windows made it bright but the awning kept it from being overbearingly hot as we perused the menu of drink options. They have milk tea, iced tea, chai, smoothies, slushies, rolled ice cream, and snacks. I got an iced pink chai latte made with oatmilk and cajun fries. The chai, pink due to a variation straight from India, was delicious. Smooth, not overly sweet, and refreshing. The fries were well seasoned and hot enough to make me do The Thing. You know the thing (hafhafhaf) you do when the food is too hot to eat immediately but too yummy to wait? Yeah, that thing. The woman who helped us was so sweet and attentive. This was the perfect stop on this hot day. I look forward to trying other things on the menu.

That being said the lounge area is nicely placed with ample seating and tables for small gatherings. Snacks and various food options are additionally available. The staff are nice and friendly but I didnt have much interaction to note more. Now the gritty; the popcorn chicken is honestly a mixed bag. While it is fairly juicy and pairs well with the thai chili sauce, it in itself is rather bland and honestly disappointing. The spicy powder on top adds a teeeeeeeny kick but doesnt do much when its just flavorless chicken. The teas are actually really good though. Half sweet is a good enough sweetness for me and the toppings work really well with each. I'll stick to the drinks next time.

We got their milk tea with boba and durian smoothie, which I always commend a place that will have it for nostalgia sakes. The flavoring of the durian smoothie is really light so don't fear the typical smell but don't expect deep flavors either. There are different options of fruit ears and coffee/frap as well. Overall, I am satisfied with this spot for your typical boba cravings. They are currently running a special of buy 5 get one 1 which is always a hit.

Had a few seating area with outlets which is great if you're planning to stay there to study/do work. I was looking at the menu intensely and the girl taking the order just stood there staring at me. Made me kinda feel uncomfortable and rushed. There wasn't anyone behind me btw. She was nice though, and made me a peach oolong tea (wasn't on the menu). Unfortunately, it tasted very watered down. I got it 100% sweet and it wasn't very sweet. It tasted good, just very watered down so it barely had much flavor. I also got their brown sugar milk tea with 75% sugar and light boba. It's a must every time I try a new boba spot. The presentation was nice but again, I was disappointed in the drink. The boba was chewy but not in a super soft chewy way. The drink's sweetness was good, I could've gotten 50% to be honest. The tea flavor just wasn't hitting. It also tasted a bit watered down.

Definitely stop by if you're near Eado.
