I've been coming to Magic Cup since they opened. Although I don't really stop by Magic Cup often anymore these days due to its location, I always have to get the Oreo Vanilla Frappe whenever I do these days. As usual, the store is clean, and the cashiers are friendly. During my most recent visit a few weeks ago, my friends also got the Caramel Frappe and the Mango Pineapple Smoothie, and all of those were really good as well. In the past, I've ordered their other specialty coffees and smoothies, and all were tasty each time. They have a wide selection of teas, coffees, and smoothies for their drink options. You can customize the toppings (with so many to choose from), sweetness, and ice levels. They also have a nice variety of banh mi options and snacks as well, but I can't say much about their banh mi or snacks since I haven't tried those. Since there are so many options for boba these days around town, Magic Cup is not my go-to place for boba anymore, but it's always nice to stop by every once in a while.

Cha-watermelon , cha-mango and Thai green tea

I haven't tried this place in a few years because it's never on top of my list. But my husband wanted to and so we ordered online. Popcorn chicken (1/5) salty and looked old as if they used old oil. Thai green milk tea (2/5) boba was good, but the drink itself wasn't creamy as I like compare to other places Overall, not not be coming back anytime soon.

Iced Tiger Oat Milk Tea w/ Boba and Iced Peach Green Tea w/ Aloe Vera

I read that this is a good boba shop to study in, and it definitely has the seating for it. I thought the boba was so good and affordable. I signed up for rewards to get $2 off, so my boba was only $3.52. Their menu has so many options! I opted for the tiger oat milk tea with boba, which I really loved because it is lactose free with such a great taste. Although tiger (brown sugar) milk tea always tastes good to me. My friend got the peach green tea with aloe vera, which he liked. We used their wifi to study for a few hours and noticed a few other people who came in to do the same thing. There were some outlets by the tables. There were unfortunately some families with very rambunctious children playing games on full volume. The one thing the shop could control was the volume of the music, which we remarked was excessively loud.

If you have some sweet and savory quick bite cravings while you are studying, you should check this place out. Place is super spacious and chill music playing in the background. I came on a rainy day so there wasn't any people, only two workers and they are fast at making my order. I got the voodoo chicken spicy, give it a 7/10 because it's not only not spicy, it lacks seasoning flavor in general. The chicken bite size is good and tender juicy, would be a good hit if it has more flavor. Omg the magic puffs are great. They aren't too doughy and small bite size so I really like it. It satisfied my beignet craving. Lavender latte I give it a 8/10 it's little too sweet for me but the floral scent of lavender was there but not too overpowering the coffee so it was good still.

Did I somehow make Johnathan angry at me today as a client because I did not deserve the sandwich that I got today . I had an an incredible experience six months ago, which brought me back to this restaurant again and it's going to be the last time. I've had to scroll through my photos, and you will see the comparison of the same sandwich that I got 6 months ago to the exact same sandwich that I got today. Do you see the disrespect that these two employees gave me with this sandwich? I waited in the lobby for at 5 minutes and I was almost debating leaving and I probably should've because when I ordered the sandwich I thought that I was gonna get the same type of sandwich six months ago, but look at the sandwich that I got today. Only one layer of meat and then a second layer of meat both being paper thin it is 1000% not worth the amount of money that I paid for and I will never come back complete disrespect from these 2 young men.

Viet Frapp

I love their drive thru. Sometimes I'm a hot mess and shouldn't be leaving the house so this drive thru really helps me grab my drinks without going in to pick up my drinks. Their Viet Frappe is so yummy and very chocolate tasting.

Magic Cup has been on my bookmark for Wanna Go Post Pandemic. Not because it offers dining rewards, but it's unique and stands out from the rest of the boba tea joints on the west of Beltway. I came here for a taste of lighter side of snacking. I ordered Nouc Mat and veggie egg rolls for takeout. I'm so glad they already included all the toppings in the artichoke drink. Sugar level was perfect. Veggie egg rolls came with 2 containers of sweet and sweet sauce. I wonder if they were made in house. After egg rolls cooled down, the flavor and texture remained. I don't believe restaurant made them. But I prefer this Chinese type better than the Vietnamese type. There were many signs on the doors to warm us about the staff shortage. When I got here, I was the only customer and the dining room was less than a quarter filled. Restaurant was very clean. I like those white tables and chairs. They made clean to show up more. I saw few young customers at the patio area. It is essential to have it fenced in. The restaurant is on the outskirt of the strip mall called AI HOA Marketplace. Sign is new, but I know Magic Cup was here way before the mall remodeling.

Kimchi Fries
Sanny C.

Driving around Bellaire, Houston not sure what to drink since there were so many boba shops to choose from. I decided to go with Magic Cup since they have drive thru. However, ended up going inside because my family needed to use the restroom. It was very loud inside. This one group of like 6 made it worse because they talked and laughed super loud. Guess they had to tho because they needed to talk louder than the music so other individuals in the group can hear. Anyways, because it was so loud inside the staff was having a difficult time hearing what I ordered and vice versa. I couldn't really hear what she needed. Guess she was trying to say that I can enter my info to get points. Would have been nice to hear it because I could have receive $1 off on my next order ( I placed 2 separate orders that day because I needed to order another drink). The beignets were fresh and yummy. It was nice that the sauce and powder was on the side. I can dip since I don't like too much chocolate on my beignets. For the price, you do get a good amount of beignets ( : The kimchi fries was also yummy. It blended pretty well. The cheese, greens and fries was so good together. It was a good portion for the price. Drinks...however, was not as great. The herbal tea tasted like a weak version of wintermelon tea. Why didn't they just say wintermelon lol actually, it tasted more like water. The black tea was nasty. I did left it in the fridge and drank it the next day so not sure if that was the reason for the unpleasant taste. So I might need to retry this drink someday. Huge parking lot. Inside was pretty big. Lots of seating Patio seating avail too Customer service was good but again, it was super loud inside

We have been here once before & enjoyed our drinks. But this time we came in for 2 coffee drinks & one fruit smoothie. The Vietnamese coffee was just average and mine had two pieces of plastic in my drink. Our daughter in law thought her fruit smoothie was bland. Then when we got home with our receipt, we checked our credit card acct online for something else & saw that Magic Cup had double billed us. We got charged for the 3 drinks before tipping & then again for the full amt plus tipping. We called the coffee shop w/no results. Tried calling corporate & emailed them too...NO results. We finally called our credit card company. This was probably an honest mistake & they are just too busy to respond. Either way we do not recommend them and we won't ever go back. Houston has way too many great coffee shops in town.

Kimchi Fries w/bacon
Mechila B.

Came here for a late night snack: it's open late and has a driv thru! I ordered the fries with a drink and it came up to about $16 I believe. The fries are def nice and spicy, comes with a layer of shredded cheese and another of melted cheese, bacon if you add it, the kimchi, etc. I thought that the toppings were a little much compared to how many fries you get. Next time I'll def order light on the cheese because it covered the entire box. It was still really good though and the fruit tea was also good. It comes with a bunch of fruit bits and jellies, but I felt like I would've enjoyed it better if I still added boba to it. The fruit bits tasted really fresh though even though I came at the end of the day. I'll def be coming back and trying some other things :))

Kimchi Fries are old and hard when ordered on uber

The food we order on uber eats and walk in orders have decrease on their quality the Kimchis taste hard and old it seems that the new teens running it dont give a hoot on their food and quality i do not recommend this place if you wanna be eating hard disgusting old fries

Mango oolong tea

THIS was my cup at magic cup. I paid over $5 for a drink and they could not even fill it up! Rediculous. Tea is not that expensive to fill a cup up!!! Do better!!!

We came here on a Sunday night looking for a new boba spot to try. Its located in a semi sketchy neighborhood. Inside is decently spacious but it doesn't look very clean or tidy. We got the coconut milk tea and the sea foam drink. The service was below average as the staff there were both equally unfriendly as well as lacking knowledge on their own menu. Drinks tasted pretty watered down and we weren't really impressed with it. Plenty of Boba spots to try but this isn't one we would recommend

The shaved ice itself was really nice and fluffy, with the condensed milk topping being VERY sweet yet not overpowering. The fruit toppings we got, for the most part, were good. The pineapple and cantaloupe were both okay, though I think they both could've been fresher, but the strawberry and mango were both really good and complemented the shaved ice. I also really enjoyed the strawberry ice cream on top. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it added another dimension to the dish. The coconut pudding, though, was quite disappointing, not tasting like much and overall just feeling like a random and unnecessary addition to the otherwise really good dessert. The ambiance here was the main issue. It is a little bit barebones and not very decorated, but that didn't bother me. What did though was the piercing high pitched noise of the electronics, which made it really hard for me to focus, and the flashing lights, which just made me feel really disoriented. Still, this place is a hidden gem in the Dun Huang Plaza compared to everything else around it, and is definitely worth a try!

I explained that I absolutely intended to pay and asked again if I could please use the bathroom because it was urgent, but the employee refused. Her expression and response felt dismissive. She was also wearing headphones and on her phone, which added to how unwelcome I felt. I paid, used the bathroom, and ended up leaving my drink behind because I was so frustrated. I understand reserving bathrooms for paying customers, but I had already made it clear that I was purchasing a drink. Explaining the policy upfront and treating me with a little kindness would have made a huge difference.

I opted for the blueberries, almonds, coconut chips, and the granola. It was so good! The granola was some of the best I've ever had. Pricewise, this around me $8.50.
