Chi Cha San Chen is a Taiwanese boba chain that utilizes a patented "teapresso" machine to freshly…read morebrew premium teas for their drinks. I've visited many times and have been impressed with the consistency of both the tea and boba. My go-tos are the Cassia Black Tea, Dong Ding Oolong Tea, and Green Tea, all with Cream and Bubble. I typically order their drinks with less lce and light sugar, which have been perfect for me. Their fruit teas are also delicious, although I would definitely recommend reducing the sugar level to allow the tea flavor to shine through. The size of their drinks is also perfect for me; large enough to enjoy but small enough to not be overwhelming. At this location you can order at the kiosk or at the cashier, which helps to expedite the line especially when it gets busy. You could consider studying here, especially with its notably large tables, however seating is limited and it can get loud during rush hour. I would highly recommend Chi Cha San Chen, especially if you've never tried a high-quality, tea-forward milk or fruit tea.

I'm a big fan of CHICHA San Chen, and I've had the chance to visit locations in Southern California…read moreas well as the headquarters in Taiwan, so I was really excited to try the Houston location. I'm happy to say that the quality did not disappoint! What I love about CHICHA San Chen is that each drink is freshly brewed to order. Rather than preparing large batches of tea ahead of time, the tea is brewed individually when you place your order using their signature tea-press technology. You can really taste the difference--the tea is fragrant, fresh, and flavorful. My absolute favorite is the King Bubble Black Tea with Cream. The combination of the rich black tea, creamy topping, and chewy king pearls is just SO good! I was also pleasantly surprised that the Houston location still offers the Taro Series. The taro drinks are another favorite of mine, and it's wonderful to see that Houston has kept this part of the menu. After visiting CHICHA San Chen in different places, I can honestly say that Houston holds up beautifully. The tea quality, fresh preparation, and overall experience are exactly what I have come to expect from the brand. CHICHA San Chen never fails to deliver! If you're a serious tea or boba lover, this is definitely worth a visit.

I was recommended MTea because I was looking for a nice place to study at and wanted a yummy drink…read moreto sip on. The Thai Green Tea was very delicious. The tea comes very sweet if you order it as it is, so I found that ordering the drink with half sugar was the perfect balance of sweetness while not distracting from the tea flavor. I liked how creamy the tea was, and appreciated how it wasn't watery and diluted. The avocado smoothie was very dense but still tasty also. Spent a good 4 hours here studying and had no complaints. Wifi was stable and the seats were comfy. There was plenty of seating even on a weekend and almost every seat was near an outlet. There were a lot of students there studying so the environment is pretty quiet. If you are in the area and want to study or grab a flavorful drink, stop by and order a Thai Green Tea. 9/10!

It's a lot more spacious with nice seating options. They've also expanded their menu a lot with lots of drink options and snack/dessert options. I got the rose lychee green tea which comes with little lychee chunks on the bottom. At 75% sweet I'd say it was a good amount of sweetness for my preference. I'd come back just because they have lots of interesting flavor options that I'd be curious to try. Pricing is pretty standard these days with a drink coming out to around $6-$7.

I decided to check it out after a good friend raved about it--and I'm happy to report it absolutely lived up to the hype. I'll keep this short and sweet: I ordered the Ruby Grapefruit Li-Li Tea with green tea jelly, and it was legit. Incredibly flavorful, super fresh, and loaded with real grapefruit pulp. I went with 100% sugar (no regrets--just work out an extra hour afterward ). The balance of tart and sweet was spot on, and the quality really stands out compared to your average boba shop. Yes, the drinks aren't cheap, but they're worth every penny. You're paying for freshness and flavor, and it shows. The ambiance is clean, bright, and modern, and the service was solid. Drinks came out relatively quickly, even though it was busy. If you're tired of the same old average boba places, definitely give Macu Tea a try. Enjoy!

This is our go-to. I like the salty (cheese foam topping) and sweet flavor, but I get it 80% sweetness bc it is pretty sweet. Banana Strawberries ice blended with lychee jelly $6.45 - i expected it to be red or pink, but it was actually yellow. My dad said it tasted more like banana. He said it was really good and enjoyed the lychee jelly. I like sharetea, but it is kind of pricey so I dont come often. They do NOT sell gift cards anymore just fyi. Fast service. Plenty of parking.

It's been a minute since I've been back to this ShareTea, and I was so disappointed…read more The good news is that the quality of the drinks are still the same. I got a mango green tea, no sugar, and brought back plenty of memories as to why I enjoyed it. However, where this place fell flat was the atmosphere. Let me caveat- if you like to study in complete silence, you might enjoy this place. Yes, I came during a weekday, but it's one thing to have the place silent because there's no one here, it's another to have a room at least half full and have it be deadly silent. I was afraid to talk because it was so quiet here. There wasn't even any background music to give it some background noise. The ice maker was the loudest thing in here. Also, I'm super annoyed because the internet sucks. I feel like I'm back in the dial up era where trying to open up a webpage or email takes multiple tries and I'm reading pages of a book in between while waiting for it to load. Even social media wasn't loading. Good ploy if you want people to be off their phones and talking to each other- too bad this place was so quiet today that I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that either. Overall, the drinks themselves are fine, no issues with that, but it could be a bit more lively.

There isn't as much to do here as the other location where there is/was games & things to read as well as snacks. This location seemed clean & looks decent. This location is also close to some fun Asian hangs & grocery stores. However, I didn't enjoy the back & forth involved in having to get my drink order correctly. When placing the order, I asked for a frozen slushy/snow type drink & so did my daughter. Walking away, I noticed a price difference on the screen (the lady refused to give a receipt when we asked - and no one was getting a receipt which I thought was weird). When we got our order, we got different drinks. My daughter got the texture I wanted & I got an iced drink. It's fine I thought, communication issue I'm sure. But the lady at the counter argued with me as I explained that I wanted what my daughter had, that was what I tried to explain earlier (an issue that perhaps would've been prevented if I had a receipt). Eventually she agreed to make me a new drink & I apologized while thanking her profusely - but as I walked away, the two younger women in the back kept looking up & laughing very loudly. Just seriously mean behavior. I don't think I'll be returning. The drink sizes, large selection, pricing & location is more my style at Teapioca anyways.

The shop is also larger than it looks, with a spacious seating area in the back that's great for studying, hang outs, and I remember in the past they even had Yu-Gi-Oh meet-ups. The service is always great despite us placing orders on their kiosk. Sometimes when we have a customization on our drinks, the cashier will always confirm with us before proceeding with making our drink. Another little perk is, they have a shelf at the front and where if you bring a book, they give you 10% off your order. (:

Upon walking in, I immediately loved the cute cafe vibes and floral detail in the sitting booth area. It had a decent amount of customers, some in a group and individuals who were studying/working. The staff was patient and friendly as we looked over the menu. I ordered the Rose lychee sparkling water 16 oz, strawberry slushy with boba, French fries, takoyaki, and vegetable eggrolls. My friend ordered the Korean Viennese coffee as recommended by the employee. They also had a pastry case which I got the oreo & Nutella cookie & Biscoff white chocolate cookie which they warmed up for you. The food was good and the Takoyaki was my favorite. My friend really liked her coffee & truffle fries. My kids enjoyed their strawberry slushy but not the boba topping as much. My rose lychee drink had lychee bits which I liked but I couldn't taste the sparkling carbonation as strong as I would have preferred. We did play some of the gashapon machines which had cute pop culture toys like Sanrio, Toy Story, one piece & paw patrol. Overall, we had a good time hanging out and the food was satisfying. I will need to try a matcha drink next time.

Conveniently located immediately to the left side once you enter the doors into Seafood City, you immediately get the sense that you are inside a home, very warm and just homey.

As for drinks, the pumpkin latte was good (might be seasonal) and Mango Graham Cloud are very tasty. I will say the food and drinks here are very rich and you will be (overly) stuffed after you're done. Maybe I'm just too old to be eating this frequently now, but that won't stop me from craving it. Will definitely be back here soon enough.
