Came in today and their machine was down so paying with card wasn't possible for 10 ish minutes until the got it working again. The workers dealt with this so well and built a caring and fun environment in the process. Also (most importantly) I only ever come here when I'm in town and it's one of the first places I visit. Their popcorn chicken is AMAZING. Def recommend read more

The Vietnamese coffee here is great and I do not have to add anything to it. It most definitely helped me stay up for night shift too. I like the place and how they have room in the back for games and to enjoy meetings or just hanging out as a group. read more

Was pleasantly surprised to find out that they have a "Spring Happy Hour" on Wednesdays in April through June from 4pm to 6pm! During this Happy Hour all drinks are 50% off. Awesome! What's NOT awesome is the fact that I was only given 50% off ONE of the two drinks that I ordered.. and when I said something to the employee taking my order that the total didn't add up, she just stared blankly at me. She also did not give me the discount up front, I had to say "isn't it happy hour right now?" for her to apply the discount to one of my drinks... Seems like she is new so if you're headed here for some boba, be patient with the staff! I just took the L on this because I wasn't expecting it to be happy hour, but in the future I plan to speak up better when something isn't right about my order. Also, their Mango Green Tea here is decent! Just wish that they carried the mango popping bobas, but unfortunately they don't. read more

I came to Teahouse to study for my final exam. From the outside, it seems like a tight space, but upon entering, there were already several places to sit, and a hallway in the back led to even more seating spots, which I thought was a neat feature of this location! The service was friendly, and I ordered the Taiwan Pineapple fruit green tea with 100% sugar. Surprisingly, the sweetness was quite subtle, and so was the tartness of the pineapple, though I did appreciate the little chunks at the bottom. The tea also wasn't very prominent. While I consider Teahouse one of the more affordable boba shops in Houston, I had to give it four stars because my fruit tea was bland and watery. Not bad, but nothing special either. Teahouse is more of a place I would visit if I need a late-night spot to study and don't want to drink coffee. read more

This place has been here for many years. I do remember back in the 2000's they had a much bigger menu and places to hang out with board games. The menu is now slimmed down, but still larger than most places. It looks like they are now using their main room for banquets. However, the drinks are still good and service is fast. I fo believe that the price is high, but this is true at almost any coffee/tea place. Overall, this spot has a good reputation for tasty, reliable, enjoyable drinks. read more

The Teahouse Tapioca & Tea - Medium vietnamese coffee with boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I used to come here a lot while in college to sit and study and drink boba. They used to have a very cool arowana fish I loved watching. And I loved that they had baby boba pearls. Sadly I've visited two diff teahouse locations while visiting Houston again. Both times the drinks are not good. I got the house milk tea with boba. The drink is very bland and the boba pearls are bland and rubbery. The taro coconut is tasty but very sweet. They've done away with the couches in the back area. Now it's tables only with a weird street looking wall in the middle of the room. Not sure what they're trying to go for but it doesn't work decor wise. It used to be so cozy and fun here... not anymore. read more

The Teahouse Tapioca & Tea - Popcorn Chicken and Lychee Green Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is open till midnight which is pretty amazing nowadays with the only other places that are open this late tend to be bars and shadier establishments. They also have a pretty back room seating area for studying or whatever to go with the front seating area. I was there on a Friday night and there was someone sleeping in the back room though which usually isn't allowed in other places. Truth be told, I don't like bubble tea. I think it's the dumbest thing to ever be invented and it's like drinking diabetes in a cup (60g or so carbs??) and anybody who regularly drinks it really needs to get their bloodwork done and make some lifestyle choices so if you're a bubble tea person who is interested in how good their bubble tea here is, you can ignore the rest of this review because I won't be much help. I am however a big regular tea fan. I mean I used to REALLY be in it and I'd complain about not having enough tea specific shops and everybody was focusing on coffee instead so I think it's awesome that there are teashops now.....BUUUUUT somewhere between me really being into tea and the pandemic, I got into coffee and I was craving some cappuccino the night I went here. Only problem is that every espresso drink they had here apparently has sugar in it and as I mentioned in my bubble tea rant, I'm not a fan of sugar so it was odd that they wouldn't actually just make espresso like a coffeeshop would and instead would use a powder that had sugar in it. I guess this is the equivalent of a coffee shop using powdered instant tea for their tea. Anyway, I figured I'd just get a plain iced tea which really seemed to disappoint the young man taking my order but as it turns out, their black iced tea is actually really good too. I couldn't quite tell which floral notes it had but it definitely had a little extra subtle flavor. read more

Visited on Sunday afternoon, it's packed with people, we waited for almost 20 minutes to get drinks. I had the Taiwanese pineapple with green tea, just a mediocre drink, there's only one tiny piece of pineapple chunk. This branch is huge with two shop lots linked together at the back of the shop read more

My daughters really enjoy coming here--they love the tapioca tea and always look forward to getting their favorites like strawberry, honeydew melon, or watermelon. They've also tried the dragonfruit lemonade, which is super refreshing. I've tasted several of their drinks and they're consistently good. Personally, I prefer the Vietnamese iced coffee--it's strong, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet. The service is always good, the staff is friendly, and the place is clean and welcoming. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for a great boba spot! read more

AVOID THIS LOCATION AFTER SCHOOL HOURS -- you have been warned! Same selection as other Teahouse locations (but at a higher price point). This high-end homeless shelter gets overwhelmed with screaming brats once nearby schools let out. If you value your sanity, go anywhere else. read more

a popular place to chill, eat a snack and drink. recently remodeled space to accommodate more people. there are often students hanging out and studying in the back room. you can now order ahead through the app to reduce anytime waiting. we've been coming for years and we always enjoy a mango cream blend, some popcorn chicken and squid balls. the popcorn is tender, juicy and flavorful. read more

This is my go-to tea place when I go to Target which is located in the same plaza which means free parking! You can order ahead of time or when you arrive. Service has always been good and the recommendations for teas has not disappointed. My favorite are the cream teas. The place itself is a bit small but there is always a table available. One thing that makes them different is the fact that they also sell a couple of food options such as popcorn chicken, egg rolls and fries. I will be back! read more

I came here with a hankering for boba and saw all the great reviews. Taro cream tea was delicious and refreshing and hit the spot dead on with my craving. Priced at about $6 bucks. I opted to give their squid balls a try as a drive home snack (you get a cup of 9 for $4 and change). They were hot and had that elastic chewy texture they are known for. Definitely plan to come back to give more of their fresh fruit options a whirl. The case of fruits was an awesome visual on arrival. read more

The Teahouse Tapioca & Tea - Taro Cream Tea & Squid Balls - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

On my first visit, I quickly learned that there are two entrances to this place and each side of the cafe has a very different "vibe". On one side, it's very quiet and people were studying while the other side has people chatting and plying board games. I ordered a citrus camomile tea hot and my friend ordered a milk tea with mini boba. Both of us liked our drinks very much and enjoyed playing games while catching up. The prices were about average for a cafe/ coffee shop. The staff at the counter was friendly; however, they hadn't tried any of the items we asked about so they weren't much help when trying to decide what to order. I enjoyed my drink and the option to play games so I would visit again. read more

I have been coming to this location for many years and I love it. I felt nostalgic today because it had been a while and it reminded me of the times I will come here to study, then when I was looking for a job, and now just to relax and enjoy the tea. I like that they have added snack items to their menu. Love the crunchy spring rolls. My favorite tea is taro coconut milk tea with tapioca. Unlike other places, they can customize the sugar level which I really appreciate. In addition, the staff taking your order is super friendly and attentive. This will be forever my favorite Teahouse location. read more

The Teahouse Tapioca & Tea - Taro coconut milk tea and spring rolls - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I absolutely love The Tea House! Their service is consistently good, and the quality of their drinks is top-notch. My all-time favorite is the Taro Coconut smoothie -- it's so smooth, creamy, and satisfying. Sometimes I'll switch it up and ask for a Taro Coconut with a Cookies and Cream blend (I know it's not officially on the menu, but they still make it if you ask -- and trust me, it's amazing). They also have a variety of other menu options, but honestly, my Taro Coconut smoothie is so good that I haven't felt the need to branch out yet! If you're looking for a reliably delicious tea spot with friendly service, The Tea House is a must-visit read more

Resident mate was nearby and picked up some goodies for me while I went back to work. She ordered popcorn chicken, squid balls and bubble tea. The popcorn chicken had minimal chicken and instead was a bunch of flour. The flour to chicken ratio was 10:1. The squid balls aka fish balls were very elastic and flavorless similar to defrosted frozen fish balls. My bubble tea tasted like Lipton iced tea. The tapioca was terrible and also tasted like defrosted frozen tapioca balls. It reminds me of the times when you shoot tapioca balls at people in high school. Overall, disappointed. read more

I parked in the joined parking lot and came in for a large lychee green tea that totaled just under $5. I washed my hands while I waited and when I came out it was done. The tea was delicious. The lychee flavor was potent but the tea was not too sweet. The tea was served hot but I was still able to drink it slowly. 10/10 do recommend. read more

This Teahouse location had a lot of seating, perfect for student who want to get boba and study. The drinks themselves are very mid compared to other boba places but they definitely do their job of satisfying a milk tea craving. My friend got the taro cream blend with tapioca which was very refreshing. It is on the sweeter side but out of the two drinks we got I liked it the best. I got the Thai milk tea with egg pudding. The Thai tea wasn't very strong and that was evident by the light color. Personally I didn't like my drink too much, but the taro was good! read more

The Teahouse Tapioca & Tea - 3P Taro Cream Blend 3P Thai Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

There are numerous locations for The Teahouse, but I'm pretty certain this Montrose one is the most popular one of them all. As one of the city's most celebrated local chains, the brand in general does a really solid job of showcasing a nearly unmatched variety of teas and fruity blends. In terms of abundance, it screams Texas all the way. Before getting to the plethora of drinks, I think it's worth remarking on the plethora of space. This place is way bigger than it looks from the outside and the strip mall location doesn't really signify what kind of space this is. The front counter where all the ordering / action is, is always bustling with activity. There's the sound of the machines whirling in the background, music playing from TV, and people lining up left and right. There's a good bit of seating in the main room, which is pretty ideal for small'ish groups and a bit of people watching. Walk a few steps past the kitchen and the lounge is the real deal. There are couches, sectioned off spaces, and plenty of room for groups to mingle or for a private study session. The WiFi is good and the ventilation is great. As far as the drinks go, I'd be hard pressed to think of something they *don't* offer. There's a dedicated section of green teas, fruit teas, black teas, and even a number of oolong specialties. Then there's actual coffee, blends / smoothies, and even cream tea. They have a fresh heaping of fruits displayed every day and I think that's where their strength lies. Honey dew is one of my favorite flavors and they do it well here. They infuse fruits with the teas and I think passion fruit with black or green tea is also an easy choice. If I'm feeling indulgent, I'll go with a fruity cream blend, such as taro, peach, or mango. The prices are standard but my biggest beef is the service. I've had drinks that were poorly made (lid not sealed, too much ice, etc.) previously and sometimes they're so understaffed the wait can be a little long. As a result, I try to stop by when it's during their non-peak hours and usually the experience is pretty good. I'm still constantly filling up my loyalty card and hoping to score my free drink soon. read more

This is my third time coming here. Each time I have came, the staff has been very helpful and my drink has been delicious! I usually get a Carmel flavored tea, which is always done perfectly, but this time I decided to try the Thai green tea with tapioca and at 50% sugar. It was perf! Reminded me of my favorite ice cream, matcha green tea. The inside of the Teahouse is simple but cute. It gives an intimate feel. I will always go back when I'm craving some tea and in the area. read more

OG Teahouse in Houston located near the River Oaks area in Shepherd and Westheimer. Decently sized parking plaza means plenty of parking and traffic.

Boba tea in Houston, Texas... I took my niece to Target to return a few items. Right next door was this boba shop... How convenient! We had parked in the free shared lot, so, it was easy to just go over and get some refreshments! August in Houston is super humid and hot. Any kind of liquid will prevent dehydration. I got a Japanese Sakura Green Tea and my niece got a Coconut Cream Tea. Both were delicious and hit the spot! I'm so happy to have gotten her her first boba tea in her new city! She likes boba and I do, too! Thank you to The Teahouse Tapioca and Tea for a cute environment, great service, yummy snack, and fun experience! read more

Extremely disappointed by this location. I have always had a great experience with the other Teahouse location, but I came to this location during the BOGO offer on the 1st Tuesday of the month. Not only did they take each order extremely slowly(about 15 minutes to order), but they also took over 25 mins(after the order was placed) to make the drinks. The other locations usually offer BOGO for multiple drinks, but at this location, the "Manager" was only allowing the BOGO to work for a single drink. Every other location allows for multiple BOGOs so this was very frustrating. He also allowed for some people do more than one BOGO offer, but he prevented others from doing the same. It definitely seemed unfair and unreasonable. The most annoying part was that he didn't even tell me that the BOGO only applies to one drink and took my order for several drinks slowly, then finally in the end, he told me the total amount without including the BOGO deal for the drinks. He did not even tell me as I was ordering that the BOGO would only be applied to one drink. Such a huge waste of time, especially to come here in the middle of a workday for such horrible service. After waiting 25 minutes for the two drinks I ordered, they looked very bubbly (almost like sparking water was used instead of green tea) and did not taste the usual tea I buy. I also asked for "less ice" so of course, they added no ice and left some of cup empty. I was completely let down by the service and treatment at this location. 40 minutes to get some boba tea seems absurd. I'll stick to the other locations of Teahouse to get my favorite tea made properly and quickly. read more

Always amazing service and tea! Been coming here 20 years! And they're one of the few Teahouse's that's consistent.
