7 Leaves has been a Chinatown staple for years, and it's one of those places that has always been consistent. After all these years of visiting, their drinks and boba have remained the same. They were also one of the first few boba shops serving real taro milk tea, which is something I've always loved. While trends and menus typically change, 7 Leaves has always had the same reliable flavors that keep us coming back. I'm very sad to hear that they'll be closing on July 26th. It's hard to see such a long-standing spot leave the community. They'll definitely be missed. read more

7 Leaves Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've heard many good things about 7 leaves and I was looking forward to trying it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking into the store, the ambiance was typical for a drink place in Bellaire and there were a lot of people on their laptops studying.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All of the drinks were the same price for the same amount. In my mind, drinks should be priced based off the ingredients they use. If they're all the same price, then some people are paying too much for their drinks or the more expensive drinks are being cut with cheaper ingredients to make it the same price. We ordered the two most reviewed drinks there - Assam & mung bean. The mung bean drink mostly tasted like pandan with an earthy flavor. The drink didn't seem properly mixed because there were fibers of mung bean floating around in the drink. Maybe some people like a non homogenous drink but it was very off-putting. We found the assam tea most palatable but that drink, like the mung bean, was so sweet that we couldn't even drink it. We asked for the lowest sweetness as possible but both drinks were so sickeningly sweet that we ended up throwing them away without finishing, which I almost never do. I dont know if they messed up the drinks or if they just got them from the same source without listening to our rewuesrs. All in all, we were looking forward to 7 leaves and it was the worst experience I've had getting drinks. (The service and setting were good.) read more

My favorite boba spot in town! They provide samples if you want to try anything before making a decision. Everything I have had here has been amazing, the teas are so aromatic. Toppings and drinks are always consistent, the boba is chewy and I prefer their honey boba over other places. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was my favorite spot to do homework or study during college.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is usually quiet and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is friendly and fast! read more

This was one of the worst milk teas I've had. We tried the mung bean which has pandan and the Assam with 50% sweetness and less ice and honey boba. The boba consistency was fine. The drinks were still too sweet (the mung bean tasted like 150 % sweetness and very artificial tasting). We could not finish these drinks. read more

Drinks are good, love the mung bean green drink. To my surprise I didn't realize I was walking into 7Library instead of 7Leaves... [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere is basically a library infested with people studying.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came to meet my mistress to chat and flirt over some drinks but felt very awkward because everyone in there was studying like their lives depended on it. We sat in the car instead. Urgh read more

One of the few places that closes a little later than other boba shop. Decent drinks at decent price. Taking off one star because their machine kept freezing after I put in my phone number for my rewards so I ended up not getting any points during my visit. read more

Delicious tea and great service. Every time I'm in the area, I try going here to grab some tea and open my laptop.

I love 7 leaves! Their boba is consistently soft and honey like. I wish they changed up their drinks more often but the drinks they do have are so solid. I appreciate that they fill the drink up to the top as well if I ask for no ice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of tables and seating and the staff is kind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

"Artisan coffee and tea" is the opposite of what is offered here. I expected actual coffee and tea, it's just sugary colored drinks in plastic cups. Very misleading name -expected to be able to get some single origin pour over coffee or loose leaf hot tea. read more

I am an avid coffee drinker, and while I like to explore new coffee shops, 7 Leaves Cafe is one of my go-to's, just because they do a mean Vietnamese Coffee I was saddened to hear that the location off of Richmond Ave closed, but I'm more than happy to go down the road and into Chinatown to enjoy one of my favorite beverages [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is clean, inviting, and is a great place to hang out with friends, get some work down, or just to sit and relax.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient. And the drinks were delicious as always Some tips: Join their rewards program and receive points every time you order. You can also receive a free drink on your birthday Cheers!! read more

This tea shop never misses. Unless I'm in the mood to try something new, I'm willing to visit here for just about any reason whether it be studying, socializing, or simply taking a break. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean interior all around, spacious seating, abundant natural lighting from two directions[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], impressively fast service, even faster WiFi speeds (315 Mbps up, 150 down. Nice!) -- I can't ask for much more in terms of non-drink related qualities. And of course, the drinks themselves. I absolutely love the mung bean tea with 50% sweetness. I've gradually equated 7 Leaves with this drink since its unique flavor stands out among the saturated milk tea scene in Chinatown. It's fairly priced in my opinion; though the base price ($5.25) may look higher than some other establishments, it doesn't require the extra charge of boba to taste great. In fact, I personally think that adding boba would ruin its uniqueness. The assam and green thai tea have not let me down either if you insist on getting something more familiar sounding. This place just works. There's nothing overly fancy about it and their menu offers a limited number of drinks, but it would be grossly incorrect to assume that this location offers an average experience. I consider this 7 Leaves location the queen of all trades in most areas (yes, more than the jack) and king/ace in terms of drink quality. read more

To quote my friend " wow, that's lightning fast service"! Right when the order was submitted, the drinks came out to be served, and it was on a busy weekend afternoon. The team here was certainly efficient! I ordered the mung bean milk tea since that was a high ranked drink, and I quite enjoyed it. The mix of mung bean paste, pandan and jasmine milk tea made for surprisingly great flavors. The honey boba add on was also just the right level of chewiness and sweetness. If you're looking for a refreshing flavor not commonly found elsewhere, this is the one to try. Pro tip #1: Since the mung bean paste and honey boba carry sweetness already, try ordering the drink at 30% sweetness if you're looking for something "not too sweet". [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pro tip #2: if you visit during the afternoon, do not sit near the windows unless you're looking for a good tan.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

7 Leaves Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I had just finished dinner with some friends and we were looking for a little finisher - one of them suggested milk tea and since 7 Leaves was close by, we decided to take a short walk over and check it out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]7 Leaves is set up somewhat similarly to other milk/bubble tea spots I've been to - the biggest difference for me was that it's larger than ones I've been to in NY with a lot more seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The majority of their menu is tea, with several options for add-ons as well as some sweets to complement. There are the usual flavors that one would expect from a tea spot, though I was suggested to get the mung bean tea as that flavor is not as common in NY. I had never heard of it, and figured I would give it a shot. The tea was good - mung bean is a legume, which I could tell as it was somewhat nutty. It wasn't overly sweet either which was great - overall smooth with a unique flavor. Service was good, and overall I had a great experience at 7 Leaves. I would definitely return the next time I'm in Houston, or wherever I find another location. read more

I'm just giving this place 5 stars because the drinks are always consistent and I LOVE the Assam Milk Tea. I prefers more tea forward milk tea and 7 Leaves does that. I always get the less sweet milk tea and it's perfect every time. I've never had to wait more than a few minutes for my order even when there have been multiple people in front of me. The service is always spot on. No complaints there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And it's like most milk tea/boba places. Simple, nothing fancy. Ambiance is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm used to the tiny little storefront cafes of New York, so I'm still marveling at the sizeable space they have here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This chain of Vietnamese cafes is known for their milk teas, and they have a space that would make any Manhattan counterpart weep. I'm not one to ever really notice or comment on the parking situation, but it feels relevant here to say that parking is easy (it's located in a strip mall). But enough about the square footage, let's talk mung bean milk tea. I was told this is the best flavor they had here. It reminded me of adzuki bean, with a subtle earthiness to it that goes really well with desserts. The true joy of this place is being able to adjust both sweetness and ice. I'm glad I got to try this place that gives mung bean a moment in the spotlight. read more

I love 7 Leaves! What always stands out to me is the ambiance. It's the perfect environment for studying or getting some work done. The atmosphere is calm and conducive to focus, making it an ideal spot for anyone looking to be productive. In addition, the service is quick, allowing me to get my drink and settle in without any delay. Assam Milk Tea - The tea had the perfect amount of sweetness (I got the less sweet) and was incredibly creamy, reminiscent of Thai tea but with its own unique charm.

They have drinks that are off the menu which are a blend between different drinks. Ask the cashier about them! Think there is a tiger one which is a blend of Thai tea and coffee! I liked my strawberry hibiscus tea, but their easy ice still had a lot of ice and I felt like my drink got diluted quickly. I like to drink slowly and not take all the sugar at once. Plus the Texas summer heat doesn't help! My friend got a mixed drink between the strawberry hibiscus and sunset passion (which is all juice; no tea). It was also very good and probably what I would order next time! read more

7 Leaves Cafe - Strawberry Hibiscus Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is one of my favorite places to go study or for a boba date. Many people study here as well so it is a great place to come to. I stay here for prolonged periods of time when studying and I would recommend a jacket though since it does get cold. I usually get the Green Thai Tea and it is probably the best drink on the menu. I always get this when I come here and it never disappoints. It does run on the sweeter side so I would recommend lessening the sugar if you don't like things too sweet. My friend got the Assam Milk Tea and it is a black milk tea base that was okay but it was not as delicious as the Green Thai Tea to me. The menu is fairly limited though, but hopefully there will be a drink that suits your taste. If you like the Vietnamese dessert che, I would recommend the Mung Bean Milk Tea, which was delicious when I got it in the past. The bobaristas are super sweet and get drinks out in a quick manner. The establishment is pretty spacious with various seating styles to suit your needs. The higher tables will not have outlets though, but outlets are accessible throughout the establishment. There is also a printer available if needed. The Wi-Fi is stable, but it can be hit or miss because I've had times where the Wi-Fi would not work and had to use my own data. The restrooms may have a wait too depending on the day as well. I also appreciated how the music is played at a reasonable volume and is not too loud to not distract you while studying or having a conversation with someone. Today's visit consisted mostly of K-Pop. read more

I love 7 Leaves and this location is no different. The employees are friendly, store has a lot of seating, and the drinks are great! Ordered an iced Vietnamese coffee and taro milk tea for the road.

Staff were polite and patient. The boba shop has sufficient seats for big groups. They have limited menu but sometimes less is more. Two thumbs up for the quality of their drinks. I had the Taro Milk Tea, and the Mung Bean Milk Tea. Both were so good. Sweetness level and flavor were perfect for both drinks. I could taste the mung bean, and the taro in each drink. I didn't bother about the topping because I thought that it would spoil the real taste of the drinks. Definitely would come back here again for the drinks. read more

I love that they have soy milk available free of charge. I love that you can upsize. I love that the quality of tea is never been bad. I just dislike that there isn't a true large cup, better sinkers, and no Ube flavor anything. I would love to be able to visit more often but it's just so far and I can't justify buying to drinks read more

Wish the drinks were not premade with sugar so we can adjust the sugar levels :( Or yet have drinks w/no sugar to mix into premade drinks to make it less sweet read more

They have a disclaimer that they are not responsible for some allergies (including nuts), but I have never had an issue with a nut allergy in 10+ times of going here. Credit card only. In my opinion, the best boba shop on Bellaire after being transplanted here from the bay area. 7 Leaves maintains an elegant, modern interior while serving delicious, flavorful tea. My go-to order is a large (+$0.75) oolong milk tea ($5.25) with honey boba ($+0.75) with less ice and light (50%) sugar. I wish they had a 25% sweetness option, but 50% is the only customization they have. Nevertheless, the result is a perfect milk tea with distinguishable oolong flavor. In the months I've gone here, the boba has always been consistent and with a perfect texture. The service is quick (with no line, drinks in less than 5 minutes). Every drink my friends have ordered here have been a hit. Their Vietnamese coffee is also strong and you can taste the house coffee as a sampler if you ask. read more

The japanese matcha tea tasted like water with a hint of matcha; we got it half sweet so that might have been a factor.. The oolong milk tea tasted like it was 70% cream and 30% tea; we also got this half sweet, might have been a factor as well but it shouldn't be.. read more

Compared to the other 7 Leaves Cafe spots, this one easily stands out. Not only is it in the heart of Bellaire Chinatown, but it's a semi-sprawling location that is perfect for some work / study time, group outings, and most importantly: delicious drinks. The young staff does a great job in keeping things moving as this is one of the brand's most popular locations. I appreciate how clean and well ventilated their space is. A clean bathroom, solid parking options, and good WiFi also make it really easy to enjoy this location. Bring a date, a lot of friends, or just yourself; there's really a bit of space for everyone. Drinks wise, their mung bean milk tea has been my go-to from the get go. It's like drinking chè (#1) but with all the added perks of sweetness with a heavy essence of the funky flavor. Their Vietnamese coffee is quite good and their the assam black tea is a favorite for just about everyone. Note: folks looking for typical flavors may not find it here. (#2) With so much milk tea / bubble in this part of the city, 7 Leaves is an easy choice for a quality beverage. _______________ (#1) The best kind of Vietnamese desserts, but this time in liquid form. (#2) That's a good thing. Trust me. read more

I haven't been to 7 Leaves in a while, but we stopped here after having dinner in Bellaire. Parking can be a little hectic if that shopping area is packed.

Underwhelmed by this place. My husband ordered a sea cream tea jasmine, but it's super sweet. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to order with a lower sugar level bc the employee said that's not allowed here. They also don't seem well-versed with their own menu. I asked whether they had any non-caffeinated options and the employee said, "Yeah, the milk teas". I was a bit surprised, so I asked if she meant they used decaf tea for the milk teas (bc how else would milk teas be caffeine free?), and she looked at me like I had a second head and said no, it's bc they don't contain coffee. I gave up and decided not to order anything. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom was quite messy and out of paper towels.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]On the plus side, they have ample parking and a nice seating area to work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Won't come back though since there are dozens of other better tea places in the same block. read more
