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.

We had to wait a little in line but the service was fast! The tea tastes great and I like the cup they serve it. I appreciate that they offer your sweet level and ice level you prefer. And the prices are reasonable compared to other places I've visited. You see families of all ages come into this place, as it's shown in social media it definitely brings a crowd. One nice addition that I saw was a Photo Booth and tea tasting station! You don't have to worry about parking as it's located in a strip mall so there's quite a bit of spaces. Overall I enjoyed my time and would like to try other tea options here.

Besides a very clean, chill and relaxing atmosphere, the drinks are really good, especially the Matcha and fruit tea. Me and my friends try Coconut Matcha, Fruit tea and MatchaBanana, there is a wide range of sweetness levels to choose from, so for a light sugar drinker like me it can go down to 5-10% sugar which is really nice. The Matcha is really aromatic and not bitter or have weird aftertaste at all. Salted cream is great balance. The staff are so friendly, say hi when you come in and bye when you leave and very helpful with recommendations. It was a wonderful experience. Definitely will come back and highly recommended

I LOVE TRAFEE!! It's pretty close to me, so it has become my go-to. I almost always get the cheese…read morecloud coffee, their cheese foam is really creamy, and kind of gives a sweet taste that goes great with the latte/coffee. Give it a try! Don't be intimidated by the name lol. Aside from that I sometimes rotate between the matcha section of the menu. They have a decently sized menu and they rotate aa few limited drinks every now and then. Any time they have a limited Fruit Soda/Ade drink, go for it, you won't be disappointed. The inside is so cute, very bright and clean, and all the regulars are just as polite as the staff lol none of the students that study mind if you sit with them. Staff is always really nice and always say hi and bye.

Blended Vietnamese Coffee - Love the potent coffee taste. They use Cafe du Monde, which is already a strong indicator of authenticity. It wasn't the "kick me in the face with caffeine" Vietnamese coffee I get from 85°C in Katy Asiatown, but it definitely hit the spot for my caffeine needs. It's still very sweet, so I'm hoping it doesn't make me crash during my volunteering. Honeydew Smoothie - My friend said it was too sweet, but he also fasted for five days (bless his soul), so I don't trust his taste buds. It had a very noticeable honeydew flavor, which is exactly why I liked it. Coconut Smoothie (w. Ube Foam) - This was definitely a banger. It was perfectly coconutty with a light, milky taste. It reminded me of a well-masked liquor drink--you can drink a lot of it without realizing how much you've downed in 20 minutes. Definitely my favorite drink of the day at this location. I keep forgetting to try their foam toppings, so I'm glad my BFF got one. I still have to come back for that guanábana.

It's small inside but there are a few tables to sit at. Fiji has a variety of drinks from smoothies, tea, to coffee. Price is pretty good compared to a lot of boba places. It's full size cup as well. I tried the fruit tea and it was very refreshing. It was not overly sweet and also had fresh fruits inside. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Overall, this is a nice addition to the area.

Came here straight from Uncle Chin's Kitchen to wash down all the intense spices…read more Nước Mát (0%) - Definitely more of a dessert-style nước mát. I could tell by the vibrant green color that it was partially Thai-inspired. Still very delicious and not too sweet--they don't add any sugar to this, so the sweetness comes entirely from the jellies. It came with grass jelly, coconut jelly, basil seeds, and a variety of other toppings in an artichoke tea base. Honeydew Milk Tea - Okay--this was an instant "mmmm!" kind of vibe. It genuinely tasted like honeydew, albeit a bit artificial. It had a rich flavor, a vibrant green color, and wasn't too sweet. I wouldn't order this for myself, but I do love stealing sips from my BF's. (I was pretty sugared out at this point too.) The place is very spacious, and it's right next to bb.q Chicken, my favorite Korean fried chicken spot! It would also be a great place to study if you're looking for wide-open tables.

I pulled over in the first parking lot I could find and opened Yelp to help me find something. I'm telling you all of this because I ended up walking into Le Drip and ordering the "Egg Coffee", knowing nothing about it. Now, I've been on this earth for a minute and I've drank a lot of coffee. This is among the best coffee drinks I've ever had. Certainly the best I've had in recent memory. What I'm saying is it's in the running for the best coffee drink I've ever had. The egg cream is thick and eggy, which I loved. The coffee itself is bold with a strong coffee taste. The cream is dusted with a heavy shake of cinnamon and it all melded together into a delicious concoction that I couldn't get enough of. If you're looking for a memorable coffee drink, I would recommend giving this spot a shot. Tell 'em Big D sent you.

Finally got around to trying this cozy little coffee shop. Perhaps it wasn't for me, but I found…read morethe drinks at Le'Drip to be just okay. The famous Egg Coffee didn't stand out at all from all the praise it receives. I expected a rich, creamy coffee experience, but I couldn't find any coffee essence at all. Instead, the drink was overwhelmingly sweet from start to finish. I was also excited to try the new Lychee Jasmine Matcha since it sounded phenomenal, but it ended up being my least favorite. The lychee flavor completely overpowered matcha, making it hard to enjoy the drink. Overall, it was a good try but it wasn't cup of coffee.

Not sure if I just received a faulty straw or what but not that big of a deal
