    Cute and aesthetically pleasing spot with a nice amount of seating, but it gets crowded very quickly. The space is a bit narrow, especially near the entrance, so when there's a line it piles up fast and they definitely get busy. A tip I saw from other reviews was to order on the app, and I'm so glad I did. I placed my order before they even opened and scheduled a pickup time, which saved a ton of time because the line was huge when we got there. I'd recommend ordering at least 30 minutes ahead with how popular this place is. Also, parking can be tough since it's a shared lot in a busy complex. Customer service was also good. Friendly staff. The drinks were great. The quality really stands out. I love jasmine tea and it definitely lived up to the hype in both taste and quality. A couple small issues though - my husband's drink was missing the boba in his drink and I asked for less ice but got no ice. I just added some at home. Overall, we had a good experience here and it's a place I'd come back to when in the area.

    Molly Tea is located in the Dun Huang center only a few doors down from Kung Fu Tea. Well lit, a decent sized place, and some tables to hang out. I honestly don't know much about the chain other than they're from mainland China so this is coming from that perspective. There wasn't too much of a line on a Saturday afternoon. I got the: WHITE CHAMPACA OOLONG MILK TEA (less ice, 70% sugar, sago added): it's a very nice tea that came through the milk. A good choice for milk tea. It didn't wow me, but I also definitely wouldn't say no to round two. MATCHA WHITE CHAMPACA SALTED CHEESE (less ice, 70% sugar, sago added): I wanted a surprise and asked the cashier to surprise me and she picked this one. I do like matcha and this one was a pretty good one! There was a good balance between oolong, matcha, and cheese topping and I marginally liked this more only because it stood out in comparison. I haven't had a matcha latte that included another tea before. I don't think this visit gave me the best feel for the place, especially with the sheer amount of boba places in the area, so I will probably return to Molly Tea to try other drinks to get a better idea on if they get two thumbs up or only one. A solid place overall!

    MOLLY TEA is Houston's new hot spot for milk teas! They are known for its fragrant, premium floral and milk teas, especially its jasmine varieties. The interior was very pretty and had pretty decent amount of seating. The lines move fast and wait wasn't bad. I waited few weeks after they opened to come since this place was very highly anticipated and hyped up. I ordered the snowy peach oolong and white champaca matcha milk tea. I wished I asked for less whipped cream on the snowy peach oolong and the matcha was very smooth in the white champaca matcha milk tea. Both drinks had a nice floral fragrant and enough sweetness for me. I really enjoyed both my drinks and can't wait come back to try different flavors.

    All the haters that complain about the wait time gotta get the app lol. My friends in nyc had proclaimed this place as the best in New York amidst hundreds of boba shops, so I knew to be hyped when this came to Houston. Molly separates itself from the pack with its superior tea flavor. You have to let the first sip sit in your mouth as it covers your taste buds. Enjoy the floral fragrance of white champaca, jasmine, or dancong. You won't regret it!

    I was so excited to try Molly tea after hearing all the hype and I'm happy to say that it definitely lives up to it. I got the premium jasmine milk tea, 70% sweet as they recommended and I loved it! So refreshing and fragrant jasmine flavor. (10/10) The staff is also super friendly and even when there is a line it moved pretty quickly. There is some seating and the interior is very well decorated and clean because it is brand new. I can't wait to try the snowy jasmine next!

    Would not get again! Still a long wait even at 9pm on a Wednesday. I personally got the dancong milk tea with "brown sugar boba" (it tasted straight up only like milk, lack of tea flavor and the worst part was the boba. It did not taste like it was made fresh at all, it reminded me of those canned boba drinks and the texture of the boba was terrible. Do not order the boba!) A couple of friends got a variety of other drinks and out of all of them the pistachio jasmine coco was the most decent one because you could actually taste the tea flavor. Average cost was $8/drink. They do have a cute togo bag that is insulated which they give out. Parking - within the dun huang plaza Limited seating indoors.

    So happy Molly tea is now here in Texas. We don't live here in Houston but we have one opening in dallas soon! We first had it in New York and it is the best jasmine milk tea ever. I had it twice in NY. The location is super busy here and even on Wednesday night, parking was rough. It was packed in Molly but they were efficient and fast. The servers were all very nice. Their to go bags even had a little insulation to it too. We got the original jasmine milk tea, snowy milk tea and snowy peach oolong milk tea. All were tasty and good. BUT... for some reason. The jasmine tea was not as strong and fragrant as it was in NY. I hyped it up to my sis and was let down it did not live up to it. Even My husband thought so too. We will try once more to see if it was an off day. This cafe did have tables to sit down and enjoy n in the cool ac in Houston heat. In New York, it was standing only to order and had to wait outside for our drinks.

    Currently my top milk tea brand, or at least within Houston. They have an excellent selection of tea, insanely fragrant. Love the narrow straw that helps you enjoy your tea much longer. My current go-to flavor would be the jasmine, just waiting for them to have the gardenia flavor like they do in Flushing (and on their marketing...) Inside, there's a decent amount of seats, with tables towards the back. Not bad for studying, compared to the 1 table at Heytea (it didn't even have one at its own opening). The lines were pretty intense opening weekend. It's gotten much better since, though the wait between order and getting your drink is still ~20 minutes, even with no line. Love that they have some fun promotions, like the ring toss. We got coupons for 10% off and a BOGO. Pro tip: use their Molly Tea US app to order while you're on the way, it cuts down on the wait line significantly. Also they have some intro coupons.

    If you like authentic tea this has it. You get more of the tea flavored like tea bags/tea leaves. It's a new location and there's only one so they get busy as soon as they open. You can order at the front or tablet. For some reason the tablet forces you to buy a bag and it's $6.99 not cheap/cute at all. I should've ordered at the front... the inside is cute and looks very luxurious for a boba shop. It's a bit small for the amount of people that's in and out of it. The tea doesn't have the black boba it's more of the popping crystal boba and you have to add it it is an additional fee. I tried the dancong tea and did not like that flavor. However, it did have a fresh authentic tea flavor. I also tried the white champa salted cheese. It tasted alright. The cheese flavor did not really come through or was salty. It just tasted kinda like foam.

    Snowy Jasmine and Premium Jasmine Matcha

    I have been anticipating the opening of Molly Tea ever since they announced that they were coming to Houston, so I knew I had to stop by even with the line stretching out the door. To my surprise, the line moved incredibly fast. They are able to take orders and prepare drinks at a speed I have yet to experience at any other popular boba shop in Houston. The shop itself is a bit on the smaller side, so I wouldn't recommend planning to hang out there during peak dinner hours due to the crowd. They have a fairly limited menu that is tea focused, but I didn't mind at all as someone who loves all things jasmine milk tea. I ordered the "Snowy Jasmine" which is a jasmine milk tea with jasmine infused whipped cream topped with pecans. I was initially intrigued about the addition of the pecans, but in the end, it really complicated the floral taste of the drink.

    Camellia Matcha & Snowy Jasmine
    Khanh T.

    I've been wanting to try Molly Tea and so glad they opened one in Texas! I went on a Monday morning so there was no line, but they were also pretty busy. I got the Camellia Matcha & Snowy Jasmine. I got both drinks at 100% sweetness because my friends recommended me so. The Snowy Jasmine is just their #1 jasmine milk tea topped with whipped cream and pistachios. The Snowy Jasmine was good, floral, light but it was pretty bland. The Camellia Matcha was really good, it has jasmine milk tea as the base, matcha, and topped with matcha cloud. I would definitely get the matcha drink again. A lot of people compared them to HeyTea, but I think HeyTea is good for fruity and sweet drinks, Molly Tea is good if you prefer lighter floral tea taste. You should give both a try!

    Jasmine Matcha  Jasmine Peach Oolong

    One of my favorite boba spots. Tastes so refreshing. You can actually take the tea (rather than just straight milk)! It is very busy and crowded inside. I would suggest ordering on the app in advance and then pick up.

    Drinks 4/5 Service 4/5 Storefront 4/5 I happened to be next door when this place first opened and saw the line out the door. After a few weeks, I dropped by to try it now that the line has died down a bit. Don't be daunted by the crowd - most of the people are waiting for their drinks, which seems to be the hold-up. There are two ways to order - at one of the two digital kiosks or at the register. I recommend the register if you know what you want. I took a while browsing through the kiosk and I could tell people were getting mad. And then I couldn't even finish my order because it wouldn't let me add a drink. Probably user error. After putting in my order at the register, I sat down to wait, and there was a screen with orders that were ready or in progress. It took 30 minutes to get my 3 drinks - not because there weren't enough people making drinks, but because there was only one expediter. Drinks were just piled up on the counter and the one lady bagging the orders couldn't keep up. By the end, I realized my 3 drinks were just sitting there. You really just have to watch the process and go up there and ask for your drinks. Otherwise, they just sit there. Also, with all the people waiting for their drinks (standing and sitting), it started feeling a bit claustrophobic inside. I ordered the Jasmine Apple milk tea (50% sweet) and thought this was the best of the bunch (5+/5). Never tasted this flavor before and agree with other Yelpers that this is refreshing and not too sweet. However, my drink was a bit watered down, since it was sitting on the counter for a while. Also tried the Dancong milk tea (50% sweet) without knowing what dancong is, but it's definitely a very distinctive taste. Almost tasted a bit like barley to me. It wasn't my cup of tea, so although it wasn't bad and could taste the quality, I give this a 3/5. The third drink was of course the White Champaca Matcha Milk (70% sweet). Mainly wanted to try out the Matcha, and this was indeed a rich and frothy matcha (4/5). As others have noted, the drinks here a bit pricy - $6.99 for the standard medium. What I liked the most were the fancy straws. When I first looked in the pretty pink bag, I thought the "straws" were just stir sticks and was a little upset that there were no straws. But upon opening one, I found a that it was 3 mini straws bundled together, which was fun to sip through. The price is probably also reflects the nice cup lids, with the pop top openings. The re-usable pink bag houses lined paper cup holders at the bottom, and the inside is insulated - I'd probably come here just for the bags! Now that I know I like the Jasmine Apple milk tea, I'll just download the app and order it ahead of time. I found that single orders were called faster, as the expediter didn't have to line it up to "wait" for the other drinks. As others have noted, the drinks are not very sweet but 50% was still good. I'll try lower next time to see.

To be perfectly honest, I am really more of a Tea Sip kind of person and still lament the closure of that Heights institution. For me, 19th Street isn't the same without it. Path of Tea is a totally different kind of operation, however. As for ambience, although I did enjoy looking at some of the decor (hanging fixtures, wall art, etc.), the overall design of the interior felt a bit dated and I would classify the lighting as dim. When we walked in, the guy who works the counter was actually seated and seemed to blend in with the clientele. So, initially, it wasn't clear who's minding the store, so to speak. I thought the guy's communication was on the dry side, but was really more interested in the offerings to focus much on that. The tea I ordered was just OK (peach and apricot blend, as I recall). My guest enjoyed their tea and cookie, but for myself, my heart is still with Tea Sip and it will probably take a long time for me to find a shop of that caliber. Parking, as I recall, was fairly easy as it is towards the end of a strip center. Overall, I would rate this business a 3/5.
