I've had boba tea from all over the country and even in Taiwan, where it originated. Sharetea has drinks that taste very similar to what you would get in Taiwan. I like that you can customize the sweetness and amount of ice that goes in your drink. This is definitely my favorite place to get boba whenever I'm in Houston! read more

If you want to show that sweet tooth a good time, this is the place to be. If not, order 0% sugar on your fruit teas unless you want diabetes. Friendly service! Way better than Mr. Sassy pants around the corner. :) read more

Im a fan for sure, but waiting 45 mins for a drink...I dont know what I was thinking about. I was in line waiting saying to myself, nah this ill clear up in 15 mins.....well I said the same thing 15 mins later....next thing you know I was in too deep and said Fudge it. When I got the the counter the employees had this, "end my misery look" or "dont **** with me today" maybe all of the above. read more

Nice employees in Chinatown? Am I in the Twilight Zone? Nah, just Sharetea. Sharetea takes their sweet time making drinks, but almost every ingredient they use is fresh, which is why I'm fine with the minor wait. I deviated from my standard order of milk green tea with pearl because roasted brown sugar intrigued me too much - I got the Okinawa Pearl Milk Tea ($4.33 including tax), and you can really taste a bit more depth in flavors than your typical bubble tea. It's borderline too sweet for me, but really, what did I expect adding more sugar to an already sweet drink... I'm definitely coming back to Sharetea to get a true assessment of their bubble tea in its purest form - the frequent buyer card (I didn't have to ask for it! The very nice employee asked me instead!) and no credit card minimum are attractive perks that make me inclined to return anyway! Oh, and Sharetea takes Apple/Android Pay. It's useless to a majority of folks, but I thought it was neat of them to invest in the technology to accept it. read more

On the way home from a road trip and decided to stop by here. There were so many boba shops around to choose from. However, this place was a good choice. I got the matcha green tea creama with boba. I taste the cream a little bit more than I do the matcha. At other places the matcha can leave a weird feeling on your tongue but this drink doesn't do that! The shop is clean and the staff are nice and patient read more

Sharetea - Matcha Green Tea Creama with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Decent teas. Hawaii fruit tea was better than the strawberry black tea. They definitely are caffeinated so good for staying awake to work/study/drive. Didn't get bubbles, so I can't say much about those. But the tea flavors weren't watered down & choosing your own sweetness is a plus! read more

So I've tried two drinks here, the milky taro and the O Milk tea (the one w/brown sugar i think) but really the most important thing was they offer baby tapioca. The wait is a while, guess they were making fresh boba, but I'm not sure because they ran out of regular boba. Drinks weren't too sweet, love that it was real taro in the milky taro, so you got alot of texture. The milk tea however was real good, will have to come back for more. read more

Many years ago, this place was awesome. Now, there are so many options, BETTER options nearby. I have to say, the one thing I hate the most about this place is the cheap lady who has been working there for years. She has refused to give me a cup holder when I ordered 3 drinks. read more

Every time I come to Houston, Chinatown has a new boba place to go to. Last time it was Kung Fu Tea, and now it's this place, so I wanted to see what the hype was all about. Immediate plus: they take credit card w/o some minimum criteria like many places in Chinatown. Interior: clean, fresh, open, but packed. I went on a late Sunday night thinking I would avoid crowds, but NO - basically ALL of Chinatown decided to go to share tea that night. I waited 30 minutes for a hot milk tea, 80% sweetened, and no boba. What would typically take 2 minutes to make, took 30 because of the ridiculous line. Granted, they only had two people making drinks, but after watching the workers take their sweet time making drinks, I was hardly impressed. #salty However, I'll give it to them. The milk tea was pretty good. Wasn't worth waiting 30 minutes.. Maybe just 15 minutes. And FYI, the milk tea tastes better hot than cold here. Perfect for "cold Houston" weather. I do plan to come back to try other drinks, but definitely won't come if I'm pressed on time. (Personally, I still prefer KFT...) read more

I actually really like Sharetea. But I've only tried one drink from here, which is the Creama green tea. I loveeee this drink. So creamy and refreshing. Prices for tapioca drinks are a little high here compared to other tea places. I'll be back to try the other drinks. Oh and the reason I took a star out, is because they don't let you order to go over the phone. Sucks, cause this place does get busy. read more

Sharetea - Creama green tea. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm usually not a fan of boba, only the drinks however, I was very impressed by Sharetea's boba! I've only been to this location twice now (more times in San Diego) and my favorite is the Hokkaido milk tea with mini pearls. I tried the classic milk tea, brown sugar milk tea, and passionfruit/peach tea. All were pretty good but I will stick to the Hokkaido :) The drinks are a bit pricey however I believe it's worth it compared to other boba shops that I tried in Houston. Although I am giving Sharetea 5 stars, I want to point out that the wait time and line gets long. There is only one register so far and looks like two machines to seal the drinks. I'm sure within a year or so, this shop will expand a bit and might have more registers :) read more

So to be honest, my first few experiences of Sharetea weren't that great but today they absolutely nailed it. I tried the Okinawa and it has a sublime rich brown sugar undertone that just makes your day. The oolong milk tea is simple and executed to perfection too. Wouldn't mind slightly firmer boba but the tea itself is more than good enough to bring you to 5 stars. read more

I was excited to try out Sharetea, since it was one of my favorite boba places in San Francisco, and maybe it was unfair of me to expect the same experience in Houston. The service was wonderful, the workers extremely friendly, and it had a great and peaceful ambience that could be conducive for being productive or catching up with friends. The drinks come in the same size, and at a reasonable price. I got the Brown Sugar Milk Tea (Okinawa) with less sugar (80%), no ice, and regular boba. The tea itself was pretty good, but the boba was sort of hard. We also went in the evening, so that might have been why, but it was disappointing. I didn't end up finishing the boba, just drinking the tea instead. read more

Trying out this place for the first time to see what all the hype is about. First of all expect to wait at least 15 minutes for drinks regardless of how many drinks you order. There is only 1 person taking orders and probably 4 people making drinks. Second of all, they don't take call in orders so yes you have to wait in line. Third of all, the lady at the register was not knowledgeable about the drinks. I ordered the honey milk tea with big boba and herb jelly and the mango green tea creama w big boba and a classic green milk tea with herb jelly and big boba. The honey milk tea has no taste at all; it was just bland and I think they forgot to add the honey because I didnt taste any sweetness at all. Boba was fresh and herb jelly was soft as well. Good texture on add ons. The mango green tea creama was different. The mango green tea was not too sweet and it had little bits of mango in it and hints of green tea. The cream was all on the top of the cup and you had to get one of these little knives and cut a slit on top of the cup to slip the cream. The cream was good nice and fluffy but it is too much extra work to have to sip it separately. The classic green milk tea was eh ok nothing great about it or nothing stood out about it. Been a regular at this place and I am changing my review from a 3 star to 4 stars. The fresh taro was on point; not too sweet, it had the right texture and definitely fresh. After coming here so frequently I have not had bad tapioca ; always fresh soft not the left over hard tapioca. read more

Sharetea - homemade fresh taro drink with egg pudding - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm always on the search for delicious boba and this place definitely became one of my favorites. I got their Hokkaido milk tea and it was so delicious. I was scared to get it at first because it said it has caramel and toffee. Usually flavors like that overpower the milk tea essence and it feels like you're drinking coffee or eating chocolate. I was so surprised when I took my first sip at how delicious it was. It remained true to its milk tea roots but has a delicious undertone of Carmel and toffee richness. I will be coming back for this delicious drink and am excited to try what else their menu has to offer. read more

Sharetea opened pretty recently, and I finally got to try it yesterday. It is a decent boba place, though not amazing. Their tea is tasty, but the boba itself is not my fave. In terms of ambience, it is well lit and cheery and has some small wooden tables. However, the shop is small, so it's best to get your drinks to-go. The service is very nice, so no complaints. I got a honey milk tea with boba, and it was way too sweet for me since I forgot to ask for reduced sugar. The flavor itself was nice though, like traditional milk tea with a honey aftertaste. The bobas are a bit harder than I usually like them, but that may be a personal preference. My friend got a warm okinawa milk tea, and she said it was good. It's cool that they have a special cup for the warm drinks. I'd come again and try their other drinks. Their creamas look unique and yummy! read more

I rarely come to chinatown but when I do seems to have new teahouses every single time a bit crazy and saturated. Sharetea "shares" the plaza with 4 or more other teahouses. Also this is a Taiwanese establishment so for sure I had to support it. But my 3 Star is not hating this place!!! Came here with my sister we ordered Okinawa milk tea w/ tapioca and oolong tea. First I would like to say how awesome tasting Okinawa milk tea is, definitely gives it a different taste instead of sugar water to sweeten its sweetened with roasted brown sugar!! How good does that sound Roasted Brown Sugar?!!?! well It is as good as it sounds. You get to choose your sweetness levels except for this drink. But I must say it wasn't too sweet it was just perfect. Tapioca was perfectly cooked and sweetened. Sisters Oolong tea was ehhh I'm not a fan, So I won't speak about it. They have this Crema drinks section, a bit interesting a normal tea drink with this frothy milk/whip concoction. Seems to be a popular thing so will give it a go. So my decision to give it a 3 star instead of a 5 star is the wait!! I came on a monday and to receive 2 drinks took over 25mins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not really sure what this waits all about but this for sure will not deter me from this place. read more

Yeah like always its great. I mean come on they were playing some rick ross and some Migos. Caught me for a loop haha. The tea is great though. Pretty sweet if you have 100 sugar. read more

Wow!! We had the Classic Pearl Milk Black Tea and it was so good! The tea tastes high quality and the tapioca pearls are chewy and sweet. No wonder the line was long! The drinks are worth the wait though! read more

Fairly good milk tea! The place is very cute. The milk tea kind of remind me of Kim's tea house milk tea but much better. I also tried the Okinawa milk tea and it tasted roasted/a bit burnt? But it wasn't bad. It taste just like a regular milk tea but more stronger in flavor and basically roasted cuz they use roasted brown sugar for the drink lol. The matcha red bean was nothing to rave about. Wasn't gross but I literally could not detect any matcha and the red bean just takes over the whole drink so I feel like that's all I'm drinking. Honey lemon tea is super super sour. The herbal jelly is gross, it was mushy and soft for some reason and not jelly-like. The only thing is that it takes longer than it should to get one drink when it's not busy and they literally have about 5 people at the register and the staff is not so friendly read more

I'm really upset that I waited 4 numbers past mine to get my drinks. I ordered a handmade taro and asked for an extra scoop. They made my drink, but it didn't fill up to the top. He just added more milk. My drink just tastes like milk. I have had the handmade taro before, and it was better. And to the response that I got saying the milk is added last, I watched him pour milk FIRST AND LAST. Last time I had a matcha red bean, which was good. I've also tried the different style milk teas, which are good. This time, I was very disappointed. I'll be back to try other things and update my review. read more

Sharetea seems to have won the battle of boba shops in Dun Huang, with lines going nearly out the door every weekend. Other shops might be just as popular (like Class 502), but people aren't going to them for the bubble tea. And it's easy to see why. Sharetea has a clean, modern interior, fair prices, fantastic customization, and a creative, Taiwanese style menu that's unique among shops here. As a successful international chain, their operation is very refined and they seem to add new items to the menu every now and then. Their milk teas are decent. The tea is strong but they dilute it too much by adding in a ton of premixed non-dairy creamer (from their giant milk dispenser machine thingy). It ends up being around half tea-half creamer which isn't the worst, but also not the greatest. Honeybee and Twinkle make better milk teas to me. But there are still way more pros than cons here, like the unique drinks and toppings like Ginger Milk Tea (actually really good), Okinawa Milk Tea (roasted brown sugar), and aiyu jelly (must be the only shop here that has this delicious Taiwanese specialty). They always ask for your sugar level - 80% or less recommended - and ice level - no ripping off here. But by far the top reason to come here is that they make the best, most consistent tapioca you'll find ANYWHERE. It's always fresh (thanks to its popularity), perfectly cooked, and well sweetened. They know that cold liquid ruins the chewyness/QQ of tapioca and chill the drink separately from the tapioca, combining the two only at the end without mixing. The finished product has cold drink on top and a layer of warm, chewy tapioca at the bottom that stays fresh until you're ready to mix it up. Perfect! Items to avoid: Fresh taro milk tea and the Creamas, which are way too salty and rich. If you want a good sea salt cream milk tea, Phi Coffee & Tea in HK4 mall makes a much more balanced version. read more

Probably my second favorite place to get boba in Houston. Share tea is getting really hyped up in Dallas so I thought I give it a try in Houston. My first time was really great. The cashier girl was really informative with the drinks. I told her I didn't like really sweet teas and she let me know before hand that their regular level of sweetness would be too sweet for me. She suggested going down to 25% sugar or no sugar. I tried the Hawaiian tea with 25% sugar and though it was good still too sweet for me. When I came back the second time I ordered a pineapple green tea with no sugar and it was PERFECT. They're also one of the few places that offer ai-yu jelly and mini boba. I can see myself being a regular when the Dallas locations open up. read more

The drinks are pretty good. Their teas are fresh which is nice, but perhaps I came at a bad time, it took about 15mins for my orders to be ready. Even. With a lot of staff behind the counter. The creama teas are a little disappointing, not as great as I though it would be. All in all, this is a good place to hang out. read more

service was slower than I would expect, but I am fine with that. The service is above average. Here's the process: 1) You pick your drink 2) They ask you if you want tapioca 3) Then they ask you about your sugar level.... (diabetics, this will keep you in check!) I ordered the classic milk tea as is and was happy, it verged on not to sweet and not to tart. Wish I knew about the smaller tapioca but the default ones were great. The added attention to detail makes this place one notch above KungFu, in my opinion. So if you want something nice be patient. Or if you really want to see slow, go check out the 24/7 sbux here in Houston. read more

Usually with new boba places I like stick to Milk Black Tea and Milk Green Tea to start it off. Sharetea didn't impress me like the way Kung Fu did. I'm grateful for the credit minimum and their stamp card but honestly speaking their drinks tasted watered down, barely tasted any creamer or even the tea it's self. I rather stick to Kung Fu tea, the price didn't isn't so bad probably .50 cent to a $1.00 more. I'll probably be back to try the cremas they have there one day but for now I rather stick to other boba places. read more

Plenty of tables, plenty of outlets, and decent tea. I liked their honey lemon tea. They put a whole lemon in it! Different. Tapioca here is good, not clumpy. Free wifi, never went out while I was studying there for 6+ hours. Sometimes it smelled weird in there. Studying there, you'll get used to it, but still. It was funky. read more

Reasons why I keep going to this particular boba shop: 1) They accept CARD payment with no minimum fee. You know if you go to Chinatown, most places only accept cash or they charge you a minimum fee. Credit/debit Card users, rejoice and save yourself the headache of withdrawing money from an atm. 2) Great customer service. Look, usually when I go to Chinatown, I know I'm going to expect rude service and I usually ignore it. But at sharetea, not only do they know how to provide great services to customers, they speak English (I'm azn so I ain't racist), they are not yelling at you, or make you feel bad. An attitude free zone, how refreshing to walk in a boba shop and not get yelled at by a sassy employee. 3) The drinks are yummy. Way too sugary for my taste, but you have the option to lessen the sugar in the drinks. Overall: Open-mindedness + Great customer service + yummy drinks = returning and loyal customer read more

My friend and I stopped by here to feed our boba craving. I ordered a fresh milk oolong tea less sweet with boba while my friend ordered a boba milk tea. You can definitely taste the difference between the two but you could taste more of the tea flavor in my drink. I frequent Sharetea back in Cali and this location did not disappoint. Definitely a chill spot to hangout or you can just grab a drink to-go if you have other places to be. The only problem is finding parking in this lot, which is ALWAYS busy because there are so many places in this plaza! read more

It's always nice to come here and see people who genuinely want to help you out. The cashier was super nice and the drinks are always delicious. My partner got the summer special drink "Lemon Yogurt Slushee" and I got their "Hot Taro Milk". The lemon yogurt reminds of us of a liquid version of an Italian wedding cookie. It's not too sweet but just tart enough to make it satisfying and make us go "ahhhhhh" after every sip. The blend is my boyfriends definite recommendation while it's still here. The hot taro milk is mildly sweet but the flavor profile of taro is definitely there. The creaminess and the sweet mend together to make me feel all warm and cozy. I'm just about in a food and beverage coma, but you should definitely check it out and try something sometime soon! read more

First time here.. The drinks were good like others, but the tapioca/bubba were too chewy and tough..

I ordered the coffee milk tea and it was good. Taste like roasted coffee with he richness of milk black tea. Didn't think coffee would go well with milk tea but it did. My fiance order the Mango juice bulb thing. She didn't like it much cause the Mango waa very overpowering. Nice facility especially for youngsters. read more

Sharetea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Really yummy drinks!! Heard lots of good things about Sharetea from friends and family and finally had a chance to try it out last night. I got the Okinawa pearl milk tea. Very bold and aromatic tea flavor which had so much depth added from the roasted brown sugar. It's like comparing choice beef (average milk tea) versus prime dry aged beef (Sharetea). The Okinawa milk tea just had a depth of tea flavor that I haven't had in Houston. Husband had the matcha green tea crema and he equally loved his drink. It is extremely creamy and even has a slight salted caramely taste to it. Line was long, and they ran out of regular boba and pudding, but luckily we were some of the last folks to snatch the mini boba which was deliciously chewy and plentiful (10pm on a Sunday night). Drinks came out within a few minutes after ordering. Love that their prices are slightly less than KF Tea and they have a punch card for loyalty rewards. Really perfect ending to a nice casual date night with the husband. We only have one issue... we have had mad cravings all day for Sharetea. The struggle is real!! read more

Try the passionfruit yogurt slushee with lychee jelly. It's a bit pricey at almost $6, but it's cool and refreshing on a hot day--more so than my beloved milk tea with boba. Space is ample and bright, with lots of seating. My only gripe was they didn't call out numbers so our drinks were sitting on the counter for probably 25 minutes before we realized they were ours. read more

Milk tea and Okinawa are my favorite but I will try out others one day. I put it in the same tier as KFT because my experience got better the more I came as well as the tea itself. Funny because I was not a fan after receiving watery milk tea the first time I came here. No credit card min so that might be a plus for some of yall. read more

Their recipes are very different from other boba places. Each of their tea drinks has a very strong aroma & significant taste to distinguish themselves from other ordinary places. Probably that's why the line seems to never stop especially during weekend nights. I always go with Oolong Milk Tea or Oolong Tea. Their Oolong tea drinks are the BEST! Nowhere else has that same quality level. Mango green tea is great as well. ;) read more

The black milk tea is meh... the milk/creamer is weird. They serve drinks hot and with tapioca too!

Really great boba! It's the perfect consistency and so chewy. This place is really popular right now, especially in the afternoons after lunch. To beat the rush, make sure to get there before 1pm. The line goes out the door after that. They also tend to run out of boba near dinnertime and definitely by the end of the day. Keep that in mind before waiting in line late at night only to be disappointed. I always make sure to stop by here whenever I'm in town! They have a ton of flavors and new things to try :) It's exciting and fun. The decor is pretty simple. Nothing impressive. The high amount of traffic and noise would discourage me from staying here very long. The furniture isn't very comfortable, either. I think the way they have the layout and format of the space is clunky. It doesn't make sense that patrons who are waiting for their drinks have to criss cross through the patrons in line multiple times to get their drinks when they come up and then to go back to the tables or to leave out the door. read more

I came around 1:30pm and it was a FULL house. I stood in line for probably 10 minutes. The milk tea is very refreshing for this hot Houston weather. Pearls are soft and sweet, not really that chewy. Great drinks though! read more
