I'm going to start off by complimenting the service. That's why it's a 2 stars. The drinks are decent tasting, nothing special. I really do not understand the price. The small drink is almost $4 for what most places charges for their large. Their drinks are bland too, taste water down. I got the cha mango and the Thai GMT. my GMT taste like water, almost. Not coming back unless changes are made. read more

I had the Viet Coffee Frappe, the one size is large so forget calorie counting. I joined the Magic Cup club and received a text for a buy 1 get 1 free on Frappe day. Great considering I just joined last week. We have had the Sandwiches bai mi 's but the Lee's sandwiches in my opinion are better and bigger.The fruit teas are also great. read more

Honestly sad to see how much this place has fallen off taste wise. I used to be a very frequent costumer but over the past year or so I've felt like my drink has never consistently tasted how it once did and for as many times as I gave this place a chance the more times it let me down. I just bought 2 jasmine green teas and they're both extremely bitter and just overall don't taste how they're supposed to. Honestly just very disappointed overall read more

The vietnamese frappe was drizzled in condensed milk which was new. It had some salty tones similar to salted caramel. Brought out more of the coffee flavor. I also had the honey milk tea w/pudding at 25% sugar which was good. read more

Went thru the drive thru to order to go. Got the cha mango, phonomenal dip, and Asian garlic wings. The cha mango itself was great especially on a hot day. Mini chunks of mango throughout the drink. The wings had a good spice to it but probably wouldn't get them again. What I would come back for is the pho banh mi. It has everything a pho would have but in sandwich form: basil, cilantro, onion, jalapeño, bean sprouts, hosin, sriracha, brisket meat w/ a side of pho broth, green onion, and bo vien (meatball). Totally hit the spot since I'm a huge sandwich person. Props to the drive thru attendant. He handled the rush of people well. read more

Fantastic drinks. My husband loved his mango strawberry "slushie". He said it didn't taste artificial and fake like most places do. The fruit was fresh and presented nicely. I ordered a dark mocha drink and it was yummy as well. I would definitely come back and recommend to anyone who is looking for a delicious drink! read more

Updated: Their food and drinks has gotten slightly more expensive. I still come by to grab my usual but it is expensive for what it is. I had a fever the other week and requested an order of hot honey ginger tea but the new management wouldn't allowed to add the ginger to the hot honey tea. That's a disappointment. read more

Magic Cup is a convenient spot to pick up some bubble tea on the go since they are one of the few bubble tea places with a drive thru. However, this doesn't mean that their interior isn't accomodating. The inside of the store is a good place to hang out with friends, and study. Although I've heard their WiFi can be a bit spotty. Their reward system is also convenient since you only have to enter in your phone number instead of carrying around a stamp card. I really like their Thai Green Tea with Crystal Boba at half sweetness since full sweetness is too sweet for me, and their Fried Fish Tofu snack. They have a lot of different drink options to choose from though, and they are also constantly adding new menu items, so it's always great to check back every so often to try new things. read more

SOLID SPOT!! WiFi...check Food...check Coffee...check Friendly staff...check Accessible outlets...yass ONLY downside... They literally had the same song on repeat the ENTIRE time I was there...I was there for 3 hours... read more

I got the strawberry mango slushie and it was so flavorless. I did appreciate the small fruit chunks on top. It was definitely not worth $5, and I would not recommend their fruit slushies. Despite not having many customers, the staff took a long time to take my order and make my drink. A customer also came in and complained that she had waited in the drive thru for over 15 minutes and no one took her order. Overall, I'm not impressed with this place. read more

Parking: Plentiful Atmosphere: Casual Service: Adequate If you're looking for reasonably priced burgers from a restaurant, I would recommend Fuddruckers. I came on a Tuesday and it wasn't busy at all. We placed our order and 3-5 minutes later, it was ready. You dress the burgers in yourself with all the fixings you like. The condiments are also at your discretion. I can eat just about anything so... Take my food views at your own risk. I thought the Burger was Delicious! I ordered the cheese burger from the $9 menu that came with fries and a drink. I'm 6'7" on a good day and about 205lbs. It was surprisingly filling. The cashier told me if you're really hungry order the ¾ pounder. I'll be back to try that one. If you're looking for burgers and casual... This is the place to try. Tell them I sent you. It won't do anything for you but it's nice to know you listen read more

I'm impressed. I like that it's something a little different from the other places. I had their fruit tea which had jelly in it. I like how it's not overly sweet and that you get a bit of sour from some of the fruit. Definitely quenches your thirst on a hot day. Didn't get a chance to try their food, but the space seems really clean and I like how they have board games there to keep you occupied if hanging out with friends. It's also kind of impressive to watch the assembly line in the kitchen put together the various drinks. I haven't had their bubble tea, but this location is a welcomed breather compared to that double-decker U-shaped shopping center down the road which has like 10 different storefronts for dessert. read more

I was really craving boba since I couldn't go out ever since quarantine started, so I decided to UberEats boba from here. I got 2 Nuoc Mat drinks w/ rainbow jelly for my mom and sister, and one Nuoc Mat w/ boba for myself. When it arrived at my house, I noticed that the label on my cup didn't indicate that it had boba on it, but when I went back to my UberEats order - it said I had paid for the topping. So, maybe it was just a misprint with the label, but I was pretty disappointed since this was my first boba drink in a while. I've purchased drinks from here before and they were good so I had no complaints, but even the Nuoc Mat drink by itself (without the topping issue) was underwhelming for a $6 drink. Same was said from my mother and sister. I'll still come back though for their Thai tea or something, but definitely won't be ordering this drink again. read more

This is a great place to come hangout with friends or to study. I usually go to study and it's pretty quiet. They provide games that you can play with friends.

Not bad, Magic Cup. On my first visit during their grand opening special, I used the buy 2 get 1 free deal and tried the Thai Green Milk Tea, Taro milk tea, and House milk tea in the 16 oz size. If I remember correctly, the 16 oz including tapioca add-on was below $4! Not bad as most tap joints in the area are getting to be upwards of $5. Downside was that the price for those milk teas spoke for its' quality. They were not made fresh. They keep containers of pre-made milk teas ready on the side to just pour into cups... not cool. Also tried their Voodoo chicken and found it to be pretty good, if not better than most popcorn chicken options on Bellaire. They offer a small and large size option. Came back today to try what they're known for: the Cha-Mango and was really happy with it! There were plenty of mango bits scattered throughout and on top of the drink and the chamoy did not overpower the mango. Also noticed that their fruit drinks are made fresh to order, so yay! On the plus side- their employees are pretty upbeat for being swamped during their grand opening week. Also - a quick turn-around time to get your order! read more

I am all about customer service. You can have good food and drinks but if your service is bad I will not come back. I placed my order and when I got to the window drive thru I waited for 10 mins then when I got my order they forgot one of my orders. I Understand we are human and we forget but when I explained one of my orders is missing. The worker says it's not my fault I forgot your order and you'll have to pay for the order that's missing and wait for another 15 mins. In my opinion she should have apologized then made my order for free but she didn't do neither. read more

Magic Cup has my favorite fruit tea with diced strawberries, mango, and fruit jelly. It's so refreshing after a lunch. The cha mango is ridiculous! Mango smoothie wit chunks of mangos and lots of chili powder. To top the entire drink off, there's a chili straw that slowly release more chili into the drink. I wouldn't let it sit for too long because the drink can get pretty spicy at the end. The phonomenal dip was an interesting concept and I enjoyed it. I still like my good old fashion pho but I enjoy the creativity. The kimchi fries were delicious as well! read more

Magic Cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Well I have to admit this place is popping !!! I 1st came here 4 weeks ago, and i didn't have the chance to write a review until now..... 1st thing you notice is the name , it's pretty catchy. The location is good , since the front door is literally only 10 ft away from bellaire. I live far away from chinatown , so this is a lot closer for me to drive too.......Once you walk in , you have to admire there decor its pretty hip ... The staff wears these bowtie shirts which are cool looking... The thing that intimidates you is the massive crowd on sundays... I was caught 35 deep in the line.... Yikes... but luckily I was able to catch some food and drinks on the previous days..... In conclusion Coffee milk tea .....i ask for less sugar cause there. Coffee is on the sweet side. Taro mill tea ...its ok i had better at other places...wish They had the taro smoothie.......hint, hint Jasmine milk tea......its pretty decent.. Kimchi fries.. ...its actually a solid choice , not too greasy and not to dry. Voodoo chicken ....its. another solid choice..... So Phi kappa will definitely be back at this magical new tapioca place. !!!! 2thumbs. Up !!!! read more

Stopped by for a a drink and saw they had something called magic puffs. It look like beignets to me so l got an order. I came out hot and fresh with Carmel dip. Yes will be coming back. As for the drink Aloe Chia.... it was ok. I'll try something else next time. read more

While in between meetings and looking for something different for lunch as I addressed a few emails, I checked Yelp and came across Magic Cup. DING, DING, DING!!! So many options, great atmosphere and the people were great! The kimchi fries were so delicious I've been thinking about them since yesterday...I'll likely return REAL soon! read more

The menu is quite extended. I think it's just a hype right now because it's new and offer popular drinks. Cha-watermelon was really refreshing and yummy. Drink is worth the cost and drive. Thai green tea was just off to me... I tasted half & half mostly. So it leaves a weird aftertaste. Then somehow the tea flavor was strong too. It just didn't mix well to me. I didn't even drink 1/3 of the cup. The fruit tea tasted mediocre. Lots of fruit in it, but the drink itself tasted almost like syrup. read more

I can't say enough about this place. This is my new go-to spot for studying; plenty of seating with outlets all throughout the shop. Their voodoo chicken is consistently delicious and crunchy (medium spicy, please!) and the staff is so, so friendly. Bathrooms are always clean and the place is always bustling with families coming to get their fruit fix. I try a different fruit tea everytime and nothing has disappointed me yet. They're out of kumquat right now because its not in season, but they'll let you sub it for another fruit for free! read more

I dropped by here real quick on the weekend after grocery shopping. The place is still fresh from the grand opening. Menu was pretty self explanatory so that was good. Prices were a bit on the pricey side imo. I ordered a Jasmine milk tea. Nothing fancy since I wasn't planning on sitting to enjoy. I kid you not I barely walked 10 steps away when they called my number. Which led me to believe that they must have the common drinks already set made. I don't know how I feel about that because ofc freshness is key. Other then that I do see that they keep the place very clean and modern. The workers were very nice and looked good in their simple uniform. Would come back for more serious order. read more

Cha-Watermelon deliciousness! Tried out this place since it was right in front of my hairdresser's shop. Yelp said the chamoy flavored drinks were not to be missed and they were right! I got a large 24 ounce chamoy watermelon and it was soooo good. Comes equipped with a chamoy candy straw, long spoon to scoop up your chunks of fresh watermelon and your standard large tapioca straw for slurping. A little on the pricier side of drinks--- my large was $6.12 after tax-- but it was something different and I love that they have a drive thru! I'll be back the next time I'm on this side of Bellaire Blvd. read more

Went around 3 pm and the setting was very calm and relaxed but I know for a fact lines are crazy towards the end of the night. The outside looked very well with the patio and display as well as the inside. They also have a cool section with game boards and group games to play while you're sitting down eating drinking or waiting. Customer service was pretty good as well. We ordered the house milk tea, cha-mango, fruit tea madness, and viet frappe. The house milk tea was AMAZING. Let me tell you I've had MANY milk bubble teas before but this one really hit the spot. Not too sweet and it isn't powdery at all either. The viet frappe was basically a Vietnamese coffee frappuccino. It was very delicious but more on the sweeter side. The fruit tea madness was very refreshing as well. The Cha-Mango was a standard asian version of a mangonada but no different then any other spicy mango drinks. The place is very clean and has a friendly ambience. Come here to chill with friends, family, or for a quick stop in. Will definitely be back here! read more

Store: Walked in and noticed it's super modern style of decor with modern music playing over the speakers. Still has the Asian feel with the money cat in the back and plastic chairs. Plenty of parking outside with a big lot. The inside floors and tables look pretty clean even even with the amount of foot traffic. Service: Very quick turn around time from when the order was placed to receiving my drink. The menu was not over populated and for the non readers and indecisive people they still had pictures. All of the staff were properly dressed in uniform which was good. One thing that kinda did worry me was that everyone who was handling food did not have a hair net or hat on. Pricing: For a 24oz fruit tea madness made with real fruits and jelly it was $4.55. Seemed a pretty decent balance between the two as this is not a powdered made drink like the normally made Boba teas served. Taste: Bought a 24oz fruit tea madness. Not too sweet or too bland. I was really surprised that it wasn't a premix ton of sugar tea trying to be passed off as something else. Also the serving of ice wasn't packed to the top which allowed me to enjoy my drink before the natural water refills took place. Cliff notes: Store = clean Service = quick/good Pricing = fair Taste = good/filling Comeback rate = Would read more

I was craving some snacks so I popped in to try some milk tea and fries. We got the mango green tea with boba and regular milk tea. I have to say it was ok because you can taste the powder is the mango green tea. It doesn't taste as refreshing as other places. The milk tea was better because you can taste the freshness in the tea! We also order Asian garlic wings and kimchi fries. I have to say that Kim chi fries are a hot commodity in Houston but here, it taste lack luster. There wasn't enough flavor. Even with the spicy mayo sauce and Kim chi (& egg on top) you can taste the blandness of the fries. Just needs to be more fermented. The garlic sauce on the wings are lighter flavor but it does have a lot of garlic. Just let them know you want spicier bc it wasn't hot enough! I eat spicy!!! I have to try the Mangonada because that seems to be the hit item on the menu. read more

Came to the drive through on a Friday night at 9:34 to try and order Kimchi fries (2) orders. Was told firmly the kitchen always closes at 9:30. I could tell the young lady was annoyed that I even asked, anyways, it was 9:34!! And there was a line wrapped around the building. I get y'all wanna get off early and clean up early, but on one of the busiest nights?! Why would you guys miss out on the opportunity to make money?! It says this business closes at 10 but get there before 9:30 if you want food. Disappointed. But needed up getting Kimchi fries elsewhere that were delicious read more

New teahouse in town! Today we tried this new tea house located in Bellaire and Kirkwood and the experience was pleasant. Environment: the inside has a modern touch with ample seating area and tv screens displaying menus and drinks. In addition, the location has board games and free wifi for personal use. Also, a very good choice of music for the place so definitely a good hang out chill place to come with your friends. Service: the service is amazingly fast! We got our orders in less than 5 minutes! Food preparation: the kitchen area seemed a little over crowded with the fresh fruit exposed to the public. We would recommend a barrier to avoid contamination between guest and food. Orders placed: Strawberry mango slush- super refreshing and all natural! Yum-o! Matcha green tea- you can definitely taste matcha and we highly recommend trying it! Berry passion fruit- berry good!! Highly recommend! Since it is all natural it is not so sweet but refreshing! House milk tea- the tea is not recommend and wouldn't order again. The taste is not there and tasted like coffee instead of milk tea. Cha mango- very creative having the chamoy on the straw and very delicious to eat out of. The open lid gives access to eat the chunks of mango and and enjoy the slurpy. Their signatures drinks are their cha-signature and slushies. So if you order anything from this list you won't regret. Other than the unsanitary open fruit bar, one complaint about the place is maybe the need to work on the vents. Water was dripping at the place we were sitting which was a few inch from where our drinks were sitting. Overall, the place has its uniqueness and we will definitely revisit soon. - A.L.B.A read more

Hubs and I were in the neighborhood so we checked out Magic Cup. I remember seeing it being built when dining at Hai Cang Seafood. So welcome ANOTHER teahouse on Bellaire Chinatown. The place was popping with families and teens. It's great that it has a drive thru! This is the only 2nd one I've seen on Bellaire or Houston area with a drive thru. We already had dinner so we were stopping by for some Magic Cup and not necessarily their snacks. I got the Vietnamese Frappe, jasmine milk tea, and kiwi apple punch. The Vietnamese Frappe was a disappointment. Didn't taste like Vietnamese coffee but like mcdonalds Frappe. I even tasted some chocolate or mocha syrup to it, which isn't typical or expected in such a drink.... but ok. I enjoyed the jasmine milk tea and the hubs enjoyed his kiwi apple. Magic Cup is average in my opinion. This may be too early to review and may require some more time and a couple more visits. To be continued... read more

I visited this place with a friend and really liked it a lot!!! The place is really clean and nice since its new. There's also a bookshelf full of board games where you are free to use and play with your friends. We ordered the Fruit Tea Madness and Cha-watermelon. Both were really good! I especially really enjoyed the fruit tea. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and the added jellies made it even better! We came here after eating so wasn't hungry but there's also a snack food menu too. Will try some the next time I go. We enjoyed our drinks as we played a game of battlefield :D. Definitely will be returning!!! read more

Magic Cup - Cha-watermelon & Fruit tea madness - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

The only thing I enjoyed here was the Cha-Watermelon. It was soooo good with the perfect amount of chamoy, Lucas and watermelon with watermelon bits and a candy straw. When my bf ordered the avocado smoothie without any sweeteners, they were confused that that wasn't a choice that all other boba places have. And it came out sweeter than other places that we do put sweeteners in, which was odd.... The food here isn't good, got the kimchi fries and fried dumplings. I don't know what went wrong but we didn't think any of it was good. read more

Asian version of Starbucks lol :) I have been eye-balling to their Bellaire location quite sometimes now. Today, on the way to home I passed their location again and I made a decision to make a quick U-turn to give them a visit. OMG! I'm glad that I did it. Food : I didn't have so much time to try their food however, what I saw on the menu it was quite descent and yunmy. Decor : I have to admit one of the best designed coffee shop i've ever seen. I can easily say it was better designed than our American brand coffee shops. Cleanness: 5 star and it was almost cleaner than my own bathrooms. Thank you very much for it. Service: Employees were so nice and willing to help and they were very happy to do so.. All in all I will be back again to try their sandwiches. And Update my review. read more

Magic Cup - Taro Milk Tea.. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Okay, so my main complaint is that this place is about an hour away from my house. Let me preface this with: I am a strawberry banana drink connoisseur. I have had every version imaginable to man, so you can trust my reviews if you are also a lover of strawberry banana anything. I have to add, my family is also picky about our tapioca AKA boba, there are only a couple of boba places we will patronize. So we decided to be clever and go through the drive thru for one drink as a tester before getting our other drinks. You don't have to ask, of course you can use my idea! After a game of rock, paper, scissors, I was destined to be our guinea pig. As you correctly predicted, I ordered the strawberry banana drink (they called theirs a slush). I usually like creme, but I'm not too picky when the heat index is apporoaching skin-melting, as long as there is strawberry. And banana. Anything to help cool me down (other than the A/C) is usually going to make me happy. So I had the option of a small (16 oz) or a large (24 oz). I went for the big one, of course ($5.89 total with tapioca), GO BIG OR GO HOME, right? They hand me the massive cup topped with - what else - WHIPPED CREME. Did I mention whipped creme also makes me happy? The drink LOOKS delicious, but it's how it tastes that really matters. I take a deep breath and approach the straw. My reflexes kick in and next thing I know, I'm chewing on some pretty spectacular tapioca balls. They passed the test. The consistency was good, not too hard, not too soft, just enough sweetness, not bland or overloaded. The drink itself was great as well, just enough ice to cool me down, nice blend of strawberry and banana. We loop around for our other drinks as well as an extra cup of 2 scoops of tapioca for my daughter. Everything looks and tastes delicious, as expected. I will close with, I will definitely be back because the price was right, my tastbuds are happy, and the calories were worth it. Maybe it's not so bad that they are so far away, afterall, because I need to keep my wallet happy as well. My life is a balancing act of sorts. read more

Nice hangout place for snacks and tea or coffee. Most of the crowd are young people playing games or using their laptops. Hot snacks include bacon and egg burrito, magic puffs, voodoo chicken, asian garlic wings, fried dumplings, calamari, egg rolls and cuttlefish or fish tofu. They have special coffee, frappe, special teas, bubble teas and fusion teas. The staff are all young kids and knowledgeable. I tried most of their hot snacks and they're all good. If you're tired from work and want to unwind this is badically a good place for that. I like it but on peak hours the young crowd can be loud playing board games that they have available. All in all I recommend tbis place and love it read more

I love love love the fruit teas here. I can drink one everyday! The drinks here are definitely more unique then most tapioca places because they have a bigger variety of fruit teas and Mexican inspired drinks like cha mango or cha strawberry. If you like Mexican candy then this is just an amazing add on to your drinks because they give you candy straw wrapped with Mexican candy! My friend and I came here and we each got a straw to go onto of the straw that already comes with your drinks! YUMMO! My favorite drink to get right now is the Fruit Tea Madness. It has chunks of fruit mixed in with different flavored jelly's. Super delicious and refreshing. This is my go to drink in this Houston heat. When it comes to the food, it is a different story. My friend I tried the garlic chicken wings and it ended up tasting like burnt sauce over the chicken. It was black and not very appetizing. We ended up throwing most of it away because we couldn't get past the taste. The kimchi fries were ok but it tasted a bit bland. I would definitely recommend the drinks here but not so much the food. read more

Super cool that they have a drive thru. That being said, don't go through the drive thru if you're in a hurry. It took me at least 5 minutes to get my drink and over 20 to get my kimchi fries. And I was the only car in line. The 4 stars is for their drinks. I loved my matcha bubble tea. The kimchi fries were okay, I didn't care for the flavor of the sauce that was on them. The fries themselves were good and the fried egg on top was good too. There was a generous amount of kimchi. Overall I'll probably come back to get drinks if I don't feel like going in somewhere. read more

A nice new boba place to hang out. They have a slightly different menu compare to your regular boba places. The drinks are not bad. I got the macha greentea blend and I was very good. Also tried the mango cha (mangonadas at a Mexican place) not enough mango, too much ice. I like this drink so I wish they can make it a little better. I will definitely come back with a big group of friends to try other drinks and snacks since they have games and space to hang out with a big group of friends. read more
