I feel like I was confused on what mango combination to get, but I landed on mango and coconut with the small balls sago. It was different than what we were used to with boba, but I really liked it. I can definitely see how refreshing this would be on a hot day in Texas. My drink was ready literally right when I paid. So their service is very quick! It's also very cute inside, and looks nice and clean. There's lots of different drink shops I want to try in chinatown, but this is one of the good ones!

Royal Roastery is a roastery offering freshly roasted nuts, baklava, Turkish delight, ice cream,…read moreknafeh, desserts, Arab drinks, juices, and shakes. When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

The desserts here are fun, unique, and very different from what you find at most places. My only…read morecomplaint is the lack of labeling for many of the products. For example, with the Turkish delights and ice cream selections, only a few items are labeled. For most of them, you have to guess the flavor or ingredients. When I asked questions, there was a language barrier, and the staff member behind the counter was unable to clearly explain what the items were in English. This can be especially frustrating for customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions. In the U.S., I would expect all flavors and ingredients to be clearly labeled so customers can make informed choices. Even if staff members are not fluent in English, having accurate labels for flavors and ingredients would greatly improve the customer experience. The desserts themselves are excellent, but better product labeling would make the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

Love the creativity and highly suggest sampling all of them They will typically have at least 1 non dairy options, but for all my lactose intolerant people out there, I found it super interesting that they also SELL LACTASE at the front checkout !! Never seen this before in my entire life and I feel that this is so helpful and also kind of funny

The half scoops are pretty big; it's about the same size as individual scoop at other places. The service was good. They let you try as many flavors that you would like. All their ice cream were creamy. My favorite was the yum cha. It had a good pandan flavor & chrysanthemum gives it a mild floral taste (very subtle tho). The thai tea was yummy too, but the thai tea was mild. It did wish it was stronger. The ube was nutty & vanilla in taste. Overall, the ice cream is good & affordable. I would come back for the yum cha & to try their other seasonal flavors.

This is not a place you go to just have lunch or something.This place is an experience. Some adults might find joy in here (like I do), but my children definitely did, and that's worth it. They came here with the same excitement that they had for disneyland so I'm really happy about that. We all liked the harry potter experience and some different anime type experiences as well that my children liked. The foods and drinks are on theme and although it's not cheap, it's definitely not as much as Disneyland. We came on the weekends, but during lunchtime, and I can see how they might be really busy during the dinner rush. Sometimes you might need a timed entry to go in, but thankfully, we have not since we've been going. I will say that it's quite small and gets cramped really fast. I just think the experience of it all is a really cool and I'm happy we have fun places like this around us in Houston.

While my cousin was in town for a visit, we made a trip to Popfancy for their Howl's Moving Castle…read morethemed pop up cafe. Upon entering, I was immediately so impressed with the interior. They made the inside look so cozy and feel like you were eating in Howl's kitchen alongside Calcifer's hearth. They also had some Studio Ghibli merch available for purchase and an extensive Studio Ghibli themed menu. We ordered the Totoro Taiyaki which was filled with Ube custard & served with a scoop of ice cream of our choice. Our order was prepared promptly, and we enjoyed our dessert while watching some clips of Ghibli movies and trivia videos. The experience was adorable and interactive, and I'm looking forward to seeing what other themed cafe's Popfancy pulls off next!

As part of the Post Oak Hotel, you can access this place from both inside and outside entrance…read more This place is super cute and seems to have a fair amount of people who come here to work or place an order from an good assortment of pastries and gelato's. What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

I decided to go for small just to try it out first vs get a slice and pay $15 which in the end it didn't matter cus it came out to $12 for 2 items I got. The cupcake I got was cookies and cream but it just taste like reg store bought cake. You know the type that it's "chocolate" but there's not much choc flavor to it. The cream cheese frosting was like eating melted grease and added nothing to the rest of the cupcake. I ended up taking a bite and dumping the rest. I got one of their brownies but gave that to my husband so he could eat it at work. So can't really talk on that.

This is an amazing flagship store- super clean and nice and the staff were great…read more I actually ended up enjoying the gelato than the actual chocolate. I was a little let down by the taste I'm not going to lie. The look of the chocolates were so beautiful and they even had cool ones for sale by the entrance but I haven't tried it yet so can't speak to the taste. They had samples to try of the chocolate strawberries and those were super pricey otherwise I would've definitely bought a box. That was delicious. I'd come back to try other items. Seems like you could take the gelato and have it made into a milkshake which sounded delicious. All in all a good experience, loved everything minus the mini painted truffles.
