Loved the drink I got. Lychee+black tea+tapioca= a sweet treat for a hot day. I'd drive the 20 minutes to get here. Employees were nice, too. Offered recommendations when I seemed lost. Were quick too. Will be retuning! read more

Really cool that they have samples here to try out the drinks before you buy them. The lady who took our order was very friendly. Excellent customer service! You can choose your sweetness level and get whatever toppings "sinkers" that you want. Great atmosphere too! read more

New Tapioca Master - Wow, yummy. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

I am sad to hear that the original owners are no longer here, but my family and I will continue to support this business. Tapioca master has always been one of my favorite boba shops in Houston, and I almost always stop by when I'm in the area. The previous owners have always provided us with some of the best service we have ever received from any establishment. They're the only boba shop that I know of that offers samples of their drinks so you can try it before you order! I stopped by recently, and even though we didn't see our usual friendly faces, the drinks were still as amazing as ever. I hope you all give this place a chance whenever you're nearby. If you're not a fan of overly sweet drinks, I suggest ordering the drink at 50% sugar. It was perfect. Thank you for your many years of friendly, excellent service!! read more

Let's be honest here: there are some serious problems in the Boba industry. This past week me and my friend decided to discover the best boba places in Houston, road tripping every day across the city in search of the perfect combination of milk, tea, and tapioca. Our standard: the milk green tea and milk black tea. "This seems pretty sketch" my companion said as we approached the blacked out windows of Tapioca Master. But we pressed on and found a charming little tea shop with comfortable leather couches and a collection of teapots on display. The boba you might ask? Excellent. Milk used to the perfect dilution while still retaining the rich intricacies of the respective green and black teas. The boba? Not too firm and not too squishy, a perfect consistency with enough being supplied in my drink to provide a delightful chew with every sip. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Tapioca Master earns its title in my book as the the best boba place in Houston. read more

This ranks in the top 3 customer service experiences of my life. The owner was there when we came in and fed us tons of samples to help us decide on a tea. The tea is fantastic and well priced. Everything was very fresh. I cannot speak enough to the quality and the service I wish everyone I worked with was like this place! read more

Oh my goodness! This has become my go-to place when I crave something sweet! The workers there have great customer service and they're quick. I recently got my dad hook onto this place as well so I found my buddy to do boba runs with! :) I highly recommend this place for people to try because they have so many options and combinations. There are other boba places to go, but they don't even compare to Tapioca Master! This place wins by a long shot and never fails! You'll love it, I guarantee it :) read more

They offer samples !!! And they let you try them so you know exactly what you are getting. Above all everyone is really nice. Smoothie was amazing as well. Some people have said on Yelp that the drinks are too sweet so I got 1/4 sugar and it was just the right mix. read more

New Tapioca Master - Avocado mango smoothie!! Soo good. Would have never tried it but they had a sample so I figured might as well try it out. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

This has been one of my favorite places to come to for a long time. Great tea and super nice employees. There Sandwiches are extremely good to and in no way overwhelming. The tea has so many diffrent options and theres samples right at the front and i encourage you to try as many as youd like because there are so many thing your going to find that taste extremely good. And of course everyone one has there specific ones that they enjoy. The best part is the tea and if you want a sandwhich are actually pretty cheap, you could enjoy both for less then $10 and i suggest you get both because it really is just that good. You can also ask to play a board game like checkers or most peoples favorites is Jenga of course. Always a great handout spot hands down. I would recommend this Tapioca place to anyone because its that good. Thank you for all the great service! 5 Stars for sure! ( read more

Everything was really yummy! Honestly the bubble waffle desserts were super sweet so yummy but wouldn't recommend for one person haha. We brought all of the food to a little park nearby and had a picnic! My favorite things were actually probably the savory things (chicken and waffle + bulgogi) and the drink (Pinacada smoothie) so I would probably get that if I went again. The ice cream waffles look so cute though and make for great photos. read more

This place is great because the lady at the counter is always SO dang happy. I love her. Other than that the tea's are amazing and there's always plenty of samples so you can try something new! I love that you can get your drinks with half of the sugar/sweetener. I go here almost every time After I get a massage next door. read more

I have been coming here since they opened, and both the service and the drinks are amazing! I have gotten a few of the cream/milk teas and their fruit green teas, and I have never been disappointed. I would definitely recommend this spot to fellow boba lovers! read more

New Tapioca Master - Passion fruit green tea with lychee jelly - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came here to study and got matcha smoothie and Thai tea! You can now change your sugar level if you don't like it too sweet. They were both so delicious! The Thai tea to ice ratio is really nice. They fill their tea up then top it with ice. I love how they have samples for us to try. They pride on not using powder and brewing all of their teas. You can really taste the difference! It tastes so fresh! The lady in the front is so sweet. She always has a big smile on her face and very welcoming. I will likely come back! read more

Yes, this placed deserves the hype! The menu is large and their drinks are fresh. The tapioca was the perfect consistency and texture. I ordered a mix of passion fruit and mango at 75% sweetness level. It was very tasty. I probably could have gone down to 50% sweetness level and been happy. My wife ordered the Thai iced tea and it was really good. One thing that was super helpful was the sample cups they have on ice. I haven't seen that before and it was helpful to narrow down my selection. Especially as it was my first time here. read more

I used to go here pretty frequently when i just moved into the Cypress TX area around 2015. This was actually one of the few places that we had at the time. Even now when there has been few more places that have opened up i still manage finding myself wanting to go here since their tapioca & teas is very consistent. I love this place because it's very cozy on the inside they have a bunch of nice teapots on display, comfortable couches with plenty regular seating & board games so perfect for studying or hanging out with some friends. All the staff is very friendly. The owners are super friendly & even remembered my name when i haven't been there ifor awhile. They have a good selection of drinks & if you are unsure they have sample cups on the front counter. Still not sure what drink you want? New to milk teas & tapioca? Go for the regular Black Cream Tea its pretty solid! Ive tried practically the whole entire menu of drinks & I've been hooked on the Oolong Tea on Ice, & Vietnamese Coffee on Ice. Overall this a great spot to bring friends & family with great customer service & drinks. read more

New Tapioca Master - Vietnamese coffee on ice is my goto when I can't decide - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I love it! The samples are a great way to try something new! Always super friendly staff, offering suggestions. Always super clean inside. And now they are starting to carry manga/kids comics too! A boba tea and a manga, what more could an anime fan want? read more

Some of the best in Houston! Friendly service and delicious drinks rival Chinatown. Coming back again.

The bubble tea my wife got was delicious, but a bit sweet. Definitely go for one of the lower percentage sugar options here. The cookies and cream shake sample I had was delicious, I can't wait to try it next time. read more

Such a yummy tea place, and definitely worth the price! A good variety of flavors, and the service is fast and friendly!

Love this place! Cant wait to go again! Friendly service capped off with fantastic food and drinks!

I usually get jasmine / regular milk tea when I go to new tea places and they didn't not disappoint me. They also have samples that are in a iced bucket which is very thoughtful ! Good service and delicious drink . Will definitely come back next time when I am craving milk tea. read more

Best place to get your tea/smoothie fix! Taro Coconut is a must try! They always use fresh fruits, the staff is very friendly and you can really, really customize your drink(s) Quick lecture: There's a difference between 'On Ice' and 'Blended/Smoothie' read more

I went into Tapioca Master believing I wanted my avocado smoothie with boba. As soon as I stepped in, I was greeted and asked to try their avocado-honeydew sample, and then my whole world changed. It is so delicious. How did I live before? I have a new favorite bubble tea place. I could live here. Lol read more

After about a week of writing my first review, I came back to order the same taro smoothie and there was a big difference! In a good way of course. The taro flavor popped out more and definitely more flavorful! Thumbs up for that! I love also that the texture was more smoothie than that thick creamy texture and I really appreciated the effort. Buuut it was more on the watery side than smoothie. I see what you guys did and I feel very grateful. But it could get better and I know it will! Honestly it's good to know that a restaurant actually reads these reviews and to experience that first hand is nice. Gonna be going to this place for years to come! Shot in the dark here, but you guys should add banh mi to your menu! read more

Delicious. I already get the taro milk tea with boba. It is making me type more but what else do you need to know hah.

Great place and great tasting drinks. My favorite is the passion fruit smoothie with tapioca! The customer service is great and they have happy hour right now Mondays from 10-3! I highly recommend trying this place! read more

Mango. Orange. Smoothie. Just do it. The tapioca is usually fresh and drinks are always pretty good. I love that I don't have to drive all the way to Golden Oolong to get a good tapioca milk tea! read more

When this place first started moving in on the corner of Jones I was worried, because the end cap that it's on appeared cursed. Each business (mostly phone joints) kept going out. Coupled with the long time for them to open, I was worried that the curse would continue. However, now that it's open my concerns were quashed. While in the past there's been a few teahouses on this side of town, I don't think any of them really compare to Tapioca Master. The prices are just right, and the fact they have so many options and don't offer strictly milk tea and smoothie options is wonderful. The fact you can ask to add less sugar to your order is great and something I have yet to see anywhere else. The free samples each day are also a really nice touch and let you try some of the menu. The interior is a wonderful set up, and a very nice atmosphere. On my first visit was VERY impressed with the cashier and how helpful everyone was. On our second visit they were willing to customize our request for a honeydew milk tea (they don't have it on the menu, only honeydew on menu was a smoothie and we aren't big fans of smoothies) and let us order it. Personally I'm a big fan of their flavored teas. The peppermint green tea was great! If you come regularly they have a loyalty program that definitely is worth getting in on. I'm really happy to see this place crop up on my side of town, and close to home as well. I'm more than happy to support this local business and really hope they continue to maintain a wonderful reputation and stay in business. I wouldn't mind seeing more food options to accompany the tapioca drinks (they currently really only offer cookies and snacks such as chips) but for what it is I am a very satisfied, happy and loyal customer. read more

My go to for tapioca smoothies. I will go out of my way to come here. They have the most variety and to date I haven't had a bad experience. read more

We just recently relocated to Houston 1 year ago and we are big on smoothies. We can tell the difference between good and ok. Since we've been in Houston for 1 year now we have gone to 9 different Smoothie / Bubble Tea Shops around the Houston area. Running into Tapioca Master was an accident. I get my eyebrows done 5 mins from Tapioca Master when I decided to do a Yelp search for a Bubble Tea Shop. Then Tapioca Master showed up with a Solid 5 Star Rating so i decided to go. First I'd like to say how wonderful it is to get greeted the minute you walk in. Second I have never been to a shop where they have small cup samples of different flavors they carry which was very helpful in taste testing. After discovering Tapioca Masters i hate to say my family goes there 2-3 times per week. After tasting their smoothies, they use real fruits which is a plus compare to other places which is artificial powder. The only downside to this is very addicting. But it's good...... read more

New Tapioca Master - Best Smoothies in Houston, TX - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Super yummy drinks! The strawberry mango smoothie was delicious! My two year old really enjoyed her drink. I also enjoyed my taro smoothie. I really liked the layout of the place. Great place to go hang out, study or play board games. We were greeted by a very friendly and welcoming staff. We will definitely be back. read more

I dont understand why you can't adjust the sweetness level on the milk tea, You can't request to lessen the sugar level but to increase only. Why would i want my drink to be sweeter. Every where else will offer to remake the drink if the customer isn't satisfied but unfortunately they don't care whether you like your drink or not. Hubby ordered their special milk tea with boba and it was overly sweet, like no kidding, and it didn't taste like milk tea at all. it had a weird after taste I went up to the counter and ask if theres any way they can adjust it by adding more tea so its not as sweet, but they said they weren't able to do that, you can't adjust the sugar to be less sweet, but to only increase. Never in my life have i ever heard that before. But all I'm asking is for them to add a little tea to lessen the sweetness , but apparently the teas are pre-made so you're not able to adjust it. So that explains the after taste cause who knows how long its been sitting there in the fridge. We ended up tossing the drink after like 5 sips. Waste of money. The boba has a good consistency level, but no flavor. I don't understand how this place has a 5 star rating when the drinks are not good. this place reminds me of a quickly back in LA. Parking is small, so good luck finding parking. read more

Second visit today!!!! Every visit is not a disappointment.. great atmosphere and people... Mines and hubby's new tapioca place!!! Great for all ages... read more

Love this place!! I've always been a teahouse fan but this is the best yet! Affordable, love that you see the same person every time, the offer samples, and don't skimp on the tapioca! So glad I found this place and it's so close to my apartment! read more

It's strange that Yelp doesn't show this place when you put "highest rated" into the search. I had to zoom in with the mobile app for it to pop up. Either way, it's not really fair to the business here because they deserve better. The boba is perfectly made and the fruit slushies actually taste like real fruit, so they don't use powder like some other places. While everyone has different taste preferences when it comes to sugar, you can always ask them to make it less sweet, which is also a plus. The seating area and very clean, which one can appreciate. It is moderately lit for studying if needed, and the A/C is on but not blasting so you don't freeze to death. There is a television, there are board games, and there is even a sign letting you know when someone is new and being trained. The biggest surprise to me is that someone came around after you started consuming your drink to ask you how it is. Normally only found in restaurants, it seems like everyone here wants to make your drink right. I'm glad I made the trip to try this place, and Yelp needs to let this place show up in the mobile app search... Before I forget: there is free wifi, ample parking (Sunday - 6pm), and they accept credit cards. read more

Stopped here when I was visiting Houston because I had a craving for boba! While parking is limited and there's 1 designated spot, with a sign, for Tapioca Master customers only, there's additional parking behind the print shop. While I was looking at the menu, the cashier (I believe his name was Devin) just stared at me so I felt a bit rushed to place my order even though there was nobody waiting to order. We asked him what the difference between the green cream tea and the black cream tea was and his response was very blah. He responded that "um I don't know...I guess *haha* one is less nasty than the other" nasty? Hello...if you're trying to describe how something tastes to a customer, you don't say it's nasty! Silly. Anyway, he was nice enough to give me a sample of egg pudding because he didn't know how to describe it. I ended up ordering my go to drink of thai tea with regular boba, and added egg pudding. Very tasty! Creamy, not too much of a strong tea taste and the boba was nice and fresh. Egg pudding added a nice touch to the drink. The person I was with ordered the green cream tea and she said it was tasty so that's a plus! Interior is very nice and relaxing, I love the glass display with tea pots and other decorative pieces inside. The chairs are very comfortable and overall the vibe is really relaxing and a nice place to catch up with someone. They don't serve popcorn chicken or any of that but they do sell small bags of chips and muffins. A nice lady came out from behind the counter to talk to some regular customers and ask how they've been, how they liked their drinks, etc which I liked, I love when owners have a relationship with their customers. They have a frequent buyers card but I didn't ask all the details as I live in another state but that's nice of them to do. read more

I was super happy to see a new Tapioca place open up in my area. This place is really cute, has a lot of seating and an area to play board games. I also really enjoyed that they had a little tray full of samples that were numbered so you could see what flavor it was you were tasting. I ordered their Mango slushie and it was delicious. I'll definitely be coming back to try more flavors! read more
