House everything with you?
Fox E.

If it was in your backyard, it'd be The Treehouse. If it were the kind of "sums" I like, it'd be The Threehouse. And if this review gets censored, blame The FCC-house. What to get: Lemon Honey Black Tea, maybe the coffee drinks and the Strawberry Black Tea. What toppings: Aloe Vera plus Strawberry Hearts, Lychee Bears or Passion Fruit Dolphins. What not to get: Student loans instead of Teahouse, homes. (We all would choose the latter) This is a very friendly location of Teahouse down next to the stadium, NRG Stadium that is. They make good products, and there are several items on the menu that we love. There's a good couple of dozen locations of The Teahouses all over the city, and some are bad and some are good, and this is one of the ones that we would say is definitely good. Not as good as my fave over in Rice Village, but still very good. And if I brought my cats here, it'd be The Fleahouse. If the toilet overflows? The Peehouse. And when you bring your wife here, it's The Guess-what-she's-having-an-affair-with-Mehouse.

Thai Green Tea 50% sweet with boba
Shannon T.

I am always craving thai green tea, and teahouse does it sooo well!! It is one of the few places I can find thai green tea, so I always come for that! I get it 50% sweet with boba, and it is a perfect treat to the day! As far as the other drinks, I have tried some fruit and milk tea that were not bad but probably would not be my go to place for them. But if you want a good thai green tea then definitely recommend!!

I was running errands and had a craving for Thai tea. Thankfully, I saw this spot was nearby and thought that I could be in and out in about 10 minutes. I was completely wrong. I walked in and inside had about 4 customers (2 seated/already serviced, 2 ahead of me in line). The customers ahead of me didn't seem to order anything excessive or complicated, so I didn't think much of the fact that my server said that my tea would take "a couple of minutes". A couple of minutes = 20+ minute wait time. I don't understand how somewhere with should slow customer traffic at the time (no DoorDash orders either) would take so long to make a Thai tea. Not convinced to return, but I hope their speed increases because this place has so much potential.

Prices here are cheaper than other boba tea. Drinks are ok not bad at all. Very close to medical center and the NRG stadium.

This place is my go-to study spot, just because it is quiet, clean and affordable. Service is alright, but that's really all you need for a boba place. They offer free wifi and do allow students to work there, which is really nice of them! Halloween decorations are up as well, which I find is a cute touch to an otherwise aesthetic cafe. Prices are decent and affordable (thank god, 7 dollars for a drink is really breaking my bank) As for the food, I've had a taro milk tea and a Thai green tea here so far, and they're pretty good. The popcorn chicken is pretty good as well. I'd recommend getting it as spicy as possible, because it's not super strong. The Thai tea had some strong caffeine, which I really needed. It's hard to find a good boba spot, within walking distance, that can satisfy a good craving and provide a good place to work!

Thai Tea, Hazelnut Cream Tea
Stephanie Z.

Teahouse is one of the typical drink places for boba and smoothies, but the experience you have really varies depending on the location you go to. In general, I like that they have a variety of flavor options, and you can customize your sugar and ice level. They also have some non-dairy options. I've tried many flavors from Teahouse including Thai tea, hazelnut cream tea, roasted rice green tea, taro cream blend, and matcha cream tea. When they're made well, they all taste really good, but again, this is dependent on who's making the drinks that day. At this particular location, the drinks are usually pretty decent, but they make them less sweet than other places do at the same sweetness level. Parking is easy to find. When it's safe to again, there's usually some nice little tables to study at, but it can get a little loud.

table decorations for christmas

One store down from Akashi (Chinese restaurant) so could be a good after lunch/dinner pick me up. Parking is ample as with everything in this very large strip mall which contains Akashi, Olive Garden, Dimassi's, Ross, Asahi Sushi, and so so much more. More than possibly can be named in one review. One of many, many of the same chain of tapioca joints in town. It's new so still very clean, and the decorations are just adorable with the neon signs and such. They've even decorated for the holidays with little paper santa hats and bottle brush trees and it just makes the whole place seem very festive. Another thing to note is that for the first time at a Teahouse I saw that all the staff were non-asians. Go Teahouse for being inclusive! There's board games as with most other Teahouse locations; and a sign asking for donations of gently used games. This location is rather, small so not great for hanging out for long periods of time with large parties. They do have outlets but only 2 that I could see and they're both in tall tables to the right just as you enter.

Mint green tea and mango green tea w/tapioca
Priya R.

Since this is one of the newer teahouse locations, it is a great study spot. It is usually quiet but gets full fast on some days. They also have fast WiFi!! I usually get either the Mint Green Tea or the Mango Green tea. Typically they do take a lot longer to make the mint green tea since I think they have to go look up the recipe. I also like to get light ice, but I noticed that every time I ask for less ice, my drink is a dark brown color (instead of the usual light green color or the mint green tea). So at this particular location, I have to say regular ice in order get a drink that tastes good.

Christmas in The Teahouse
Joiya A.

My entire love of boba started with this franchise back in 2014 (Bellaire location). Since I've discovered all of the best boba spots in Houston. Teahouse is always a reliable option however when I don't want to drive to China town or my other favorite spots. My go to at this franchise is usually their #1 (half sweet) with a scoop of ice cream and half boba, honeydew cream blend with mango jelly, or their strawberry banana cream blend with strawberry jelly. This location I never have to adjust their sweetness level because it's always perfect (not super sweet like other locations. I see that complaint a lot for this location but I actually love it) not big on super sweet tea. Todays visit i opted for the strawberry cream blend because they were out of honey dew and mango jelly. I finally tried their popcorn chicken and it was a nice snack. The employee at the register was super friendly and comical. Their Christmas decor was cute and they have plenty of seating.

I was a customer before employment and even after employment, because the quality is just that good at a fair price. If you really care about what you are consuming, this is a place for you.

I tried an acai bowl my first visit, and a smoothie and a cookie on my second. Yaahhh, the cookie wasn't the healthiest choice, but it was good. Although I ordered a salted chocolate chip cookie, the cookie I received tasted more like a salted gingerbread cookie with chocolate chips. I love gingerbread, so for me, this made the perfect pairing. On the other hand, if gingerbread is not for you, don't order this cookie. Unable to decide among the juice and smoothies, I was blessed to have the input of an enthusiastic team member. In the end I went with the strawberry mint, sweetened with monk fruit, with added protein. It was backed with flavor. I'm usually a green juice girl, so I already have a reason to return. Although I wish I lived closer, I'm excited to return to try a new treat.

Before I arrived, I didn't realize they were located inside of L.A. Fitness so finding it was a little confusing. There's a parking garage where L.A. Fitness will validate your ticket so you don't have to pay. The parking garage also serves several other businesses so it may take you a little trial and error to find the entrance to L.A. Fitness. Part of the reason I stopped by is that I saw they have a Yelp Deal. After buying the voucher and trying to use it, I was told that the previous owner created the deal so they were unaware of it. Luckily, they were still willing to honor it. I'm not sure if they've taken the deal down, but if they haven't, here's your heads-up. Since the Yelp deal is for a good deal of money, I ended up ordering quite a bit. They have a combo deal where you can get a sandwich and a smoothie. I got four different smoothies and four sandwiches. For each smoothie, I added an add-in for an additional charge. That got me to the value I needed for the Yelp deal. Lunch for all week! They have a couple of tables if you'd like to eat there but it's more of a grab-and-go spot. The sandwiches are paninis and they were good and used healthy ingredients. They have a grilled cheese option, chicken pesto sandwich, etc. A lot of their sandwiches have spinach. You can easily make a comparable sandwich at home but you do have the convenience factor here, especially if you work out at the gym. The smoothies were also good but nothing to write home about. All-in-all, a convenient and solid addition to L.A. Fitness. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here if you're not a member of the gym, but if you are, I'd take advantage.

They closed the location at my LA fitness unfortunately, however, this is an amazing smoothie bar!!…read moreI did get a chance to visit this location and the service and smoothies were still up to par!! Keep up the good work you guys!!!

The West U area already lacked a proper bubble tea option, making its arrival that much more satisfying. Sadly, during the heat of summer just after their second anniversary, it abruptly closed. While the shop was small, they still had a number of tables for small groups and solo action. Given the tables were completely translucent glass, the plain acoustic tile ceilings with florescent lighting and very standard bathroom sign made the place feel like an office more than a cafe. The bright orange logo side wall was a nice touch, but still presented a contrasting vibe that was hard to shake. The drinks did not fare much better, but were at least consistent. The roasted oolong milk tea and slushes were always the go-to and the swirls and fruit teas were the ones to avoid. The food was a bit all over the place, from "cubie breads" to mochi donuts and fries. They worked as easy snacks on the go, but never overshadowed the drinks. Customer service was always a crapshoot, thus like many bubble tea cafes, the self-ordering kiosk was easy to consider. Prices were semi-reasonable given the neighborhood, which was a semi-win in itself. While I do hope for the best of this location, the one thing that still presents a challenge is the limited parking. Since it's a shared strip of only a couple of spots for each business, there is little street parking to compensate for the limited front side parking. For fans of the TSAOCAA brand and looking for a fix, the Katy store is the only remaining Houston-area location.

I've ordered from here multiple times for delivery to the Medical Center, and the drinks always arrive fresh, cold, and never watered down. I've even ordered from Too Good to Go for their grab bag, and received a variety of "surprise drinks." I appreciate that you can adjust the sugar and ice levels, and the drinks are consistently not overly sweet. There's not a ton of boba competition in the West U area, but this spot is definitely top tier. Bonus: they offer rose tea, which is surprisingly hard to find outside of Chinatown. Definitely a go-to for quality boba!
