I was craving one last boba before leaving Houston, and I'm so glad I ended up stopping at Rare Tea!! I'll admit I wasn't expecting much at first because it didn't look like one of those super authentic boba shops from the outside, but WOW...this place really surprised me! The boba was SO good! The tapioca pearls had the perfect chewy texture, the tea flavor was nice and strong, and 50% sugar ended up being the perfect sweetness for me. It honestly hit the spot before my drive back to Austin! The staff was also really friendly throughout my visit. The only downside was that it took a little longer than I expected to get my drink, especially since there was only one person ahead of me. That being said, once I took my first sip, I honestly didn't mind the wait anymore haha. Overall, this is such a solid boba spot! It completely exceeded my expectations, and I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Houston. If you're debating whether to stop here, I'd say it's absolutely worth it!! read more

Plenty of parking. Nice space that is perfect to cool off in this Houston heat! I did see that they also had outlets if someone wanted to work there or charge devices. Service was friendly and we got our drinks pretty quickly. I enjoyed my matcha smoothie. read more

Another great boba place to add to the list of great boba places in Katy! I always see it when we're in the area but finally tried it for the first time. Customer service is great. The person working was super friendly. It's a clean place with a handful of seating. Wasn't busy at all and got our order pretty quickly even with just one person working. Great drinks. I couldn't decide which one to get because there were multiple I wanted to try! I decided on the jasmine matcha milk tea 50% sweet. It was exactly what I was hoping for and expecting. Some places mess up the sweetness level and still end up making it overly sweet but this was perfect. Didn't taste super artificial or anything like that either. Solid quality drink. definitely come back to try the other drinks I couldn't decide between! read more

Although there's no shortage of boba places in the Katy area, especially close to Katy Asian Town, I'm always happy to welcome another option to the area. My wife and I got the Okinawa milk tea and the strawberry coconut with noodles drinks. The Okinawa milk tea was good but it could have been great if the tea they used wasn't so hot that it melted the ice which ended up watering down the drinks. If they can fix this then I would have given them five stars. The strawberry coconut drink was delicious though. The noodle jelly was a topping I've never seen before but I really liked it. This might be my new go-to topping for drinks! read more

I didn't catch her name but the lady was super sweet and inviting and answered our questions. It was my 1st time in here, had never heard of it and saw it while in shipping in this center. I ended up getting the coconut matcha and my fiancé got the rose matcha. They were both fantastic. Not only is the matcha strong, but both the coconut and rose flavors really came through. Other places i feel like the flavors are too subtle whereas here it was strong which I loved. We did not adjust our sugar levels nor substitute milk options. Place was super clean, chic decor, and lots of natural and ambiant lighting. I NEED to come back. read more

We went during their soft opening after seeing their event on Facebook. When we walked in, we were greeted immediately and they explained what each of the drinks were like so we could pick the ones we would like most. The BOGO offer is going on all weekend, but you basically buy as many drinks as you want and they give you a get a drink free coupon for next time. For example, if you buy 3 drinks, you get 3 free drink vouchers to use after their soft opening on Monday. We bought 6 drinks and I was pleasantly surprised. Every single drink was amazing! My favorite was the mango coconut noodle and the kiwi fruit tea. Both of these drinks come with toppings but you can add boba as well if you would like. We also tried the rose matcha(very strong matcha flavor), lychee smootea, strawberry coconut noodle, and the duo grape tea (tasted grape syrupy). They have so many drink options. They have some seating and the decor gives off a clean/refreshing vibe, they apparently have another location in Sugar land as well. read more

Rare Tea was one of our stops while we were out on Saturday. We had never been there and the person working the counter really wasn't that helpful. We are both new to this tea experience and was asking questions on different flavors and the additives. The server seemed very disinterested in helping us. Maybe he was having a bad day, I dont know. And I'm also having a hard time accepting this new normal of customer service not being good. We did look at the menu for quite a while, and when I finally decided what I wanted, I was told that they were out of coconut and couldn't make the drink that I FINALLY decided to get. The server did mention something about them being out of something while we were looking, but I didn't really hear him. I settled on some mango, passion fruit tea, and my husband got a strawberry drink. I dont remember the exact names of them. He liked his drink. I tasted it, and it was SO much better than mine. Mine had a very bitter, off putting aftertaste. Not sure what it was, and maybe it was supposed to taste like that, but i can't say for sure, since it was my 1st time having that drink. The place over all looked clean and well taken care of. I just dont think it's for me. For someone that knows what to order, and how to order it, I'm sure it's a good place. read more

Super cute boba place! I got the Taro Milk Tea with less sugar and the Mango PassionFruit Green Tea with regular sugar. I should have switched the sugar levels because the Taro tasted like it had no sugar and the green tea was way too sweet. Other than that, it was fine - I would go here again and just adjust the sugar levels more next time. The cashier was really nice and the atmosphere/environment is good for a hangout spot for friends and family to catch up! read more

I love this place. I've been going for over a year now and I love this place. I love the matcha, and the brown sugar tea with regular boba. I love this place because the atmosphere is so amazing. The people there are so kind (Aisha) I just met her today and she was a total sweetie. And I hope to see her again on my next visit. I feel so amazing every time I walk in, it seems so clean and inviting. I'd recommend this place to any new comers looking for a good study spot or just a nice boba shop. read more

Took the multitudes of young adults here over the holidays to rave reviews. We unanimously voted this the best boba in Katy!

Rare Tea just opened in Katy and is currently in their soft opening stage. My friend won one of their soft opening buy one get one giveaways so we went to try it. It was empty when we went there but it looked very nice inside with ample seating. They have a big variety of drinks ranging from teapresso milk teas, milk teas, matcha, fruit teas, smoothies, smooteas, and specialty drinks. I decided to try their teapresso milk tea. I have no clue how it is different from the regular milk teas but they have a lot of traditional tea bases. I got the Iron Goddess (Tieguanyin) tea base with organic milk. I didn't know what to expect from the drink since this place is very new but I ended up really liking my drink. The tea was strong but also with a hint of sweetness to balance it out. I love it when boba shops have strong teas. The drink was strong yet smooth, had a slightly roasted and floral taste as well. I also love how they use small ice yet still fill to the top. My friend really liked their drink as well, she thought the snow cream added a lot to her drink. read more
