    Strawberry Horchata, The Grasshopper
    Jaynie N.

    The cashier was very polite and helpful me and my boyfriend visited to try out the place and we absolutely love it we will definitely come back! The food was very fresh and delicious we enjoyed our date here!

    Ube creme brulee tiger sugar

    Bonus Cafe took over the old Zero Degrees location on Pearland Pkwy which at first I was a little bummed about, but after finally trying it, Bonus Cafe is here to stay hopefully! Originally I heard about Bonus Cafe because a friend mentioned that their ube creme brulee tiger sugar was better than "The Alley's" in Katy. Living near Pearland, Katy is an hour away, and if the Bonus Cafe makes it better, why make the drive out there? To my surprise, Bonus Cafe really does make a better ube creme brulee tiger sugar. I literally come here just for that drink now! It's creamy, ube flavor is rich, but not overly decadent like the Alley's. I like their consistently soft, warm tapioca, only thing I might like better is if it was just slightly less sweet. Bonus Cafe has a lot of other drinks I haven't gotten to try yet, but I know I'll be back. I'm most interested in trying their milk tea because that's the true test to see how good any tapioca shop is. I really like that they have a lot of food/snacks on the menu also. If I didn't already eat before coming here, I would have definitely wanted to try their popcorn chicken or banh mi. Can't wait to come again Bonus Cafe! Bonus tip: 10% discount to all students that show a student ID.

    Jasmine milk tea with brown sugar boba and avocado smoothie with elote and fries box.

    Would definitely recommend this spot. It is very casual but offers a good range of options on their menu. Nice ambiance if you'd like to sit at either bench or small tables. We came during off time but it was steady busy, can imagine standing room to order only during high peak time. I always appreciate a place with brown sugar boba (vs just regular boba). Their specialty drinks are available, we tried the Ube creme brûlée brown sugar boba milk and that was very good. If going with kids, we halted the sugar on the avocado smoothie for them. Elote fries box was delish, their garlic noodles came a touch spicy for the kiddos. Shrimps on the noodles box were jumbo and crispy on the outside. Overall, very pleased with this local spot!

    Bonus cafe was very modern with nice/cute decor, as most boba shops have come to adopt. My girlfriend and I ordered the house milk tea and the Thai green tea. Both had good flavor, but there were really strong floral notes in both drinks. I'm not necessarily opposed to floral flavors but it was way too prominent for my preference. The popcorn chicken was pretty good, and it had a nice kick since we ordered it spicy. The garlic noodles had good flavor but it felt kind of like old box spaghetti pasta. Solid place overall but with the plethora of options in houston, there are many others I would rank above Bonus Cafe.

    I have been to a ton of boba tea places and this place is GOOD. It's good. I haven't confirmed if the boba is made in house, but I suspect it is, because the last time I had it, it was warm on the bottom of my smoothie. I hate hard, or mushy boba balls with no flavor. Their bobas are on point, including their lychee jelly, AND popping mango boba. Yup. I've been here multiple times before writing this review! All the drinks look great, and they really take their time on the details, such as the Unicorn w a unicorn marshmallow, or the Cookie Monster with the eye on the oreo! I really appreciate the details. And it's not just looks-- I'm telling you-- the drinks are delicious! Well worth the $5 or $6. Now, let's get to the food- I love a lunch special and I don't even mind upgrading my lunch special here because its filling, and fresh. From the bahn mi, to the wings, or the noodles-- nothing has been a miss. Let me get back to wings, because OMG they are a great hearty size.... (I hate tiny wings), and the mango habanero is so sweet and mango-y you'll be like WOW! They aren't the same mixture that wingstop uses. It's yummy. I've also had the popcorn chicken and they're big pieces of moist chicken-- not dry and overcooked. The restaurant is clean, not crowded on a weekday (I haven't been there on a weekend, fyi). Bathroom is unisex and clean, and there are tables if you wanna bring your laptop and plug in. Music isn't too loud most times, and plenty of parking. The service is friendly as well, so I really can't say ANYTHING bad about this place! Will definitely return when I'm in the area. Thank you #bonussweetscafe!

    I ordered the ube creme brûlée tiger sugar drink. Creamy and delicious. Daughter had the Oreo cookies and cream shake. Drinks weren't overly sweet and staff were nice. Place was cute. Plenty of parking.

    Everything was pretty good! Unfortunately, I'm not sure why it messed up my stomach & I felt that the music was pretty loud in there. Had headphones in and could still hear it. I got the sunset green tea and garlic parm popcorn chicken and the addition of fruits in the drink was a refreshing touch

    We've gone here twice. We like that they have lots of menu items besides drinks. The elotes and garlic noodles were delicious, banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) was okay, and the drinks are good. Their ube creme brûlée tiger sugar is better in taste and price than the one from The Alley IMO. We'll come back and try their other menu items.

    Bonus Cafe or @bonus.sweets on ig has some of the best boba slushies I've had. It's definitely my go to spot for boba in P'ville. It has a great location-- right near the East Pearland HEB. My favorite slushie is unicorn followed closely by the cookie monster. I typically get popping lychee or mango with the unicorn and honey boba with the monster. Prices are pretty normal for boba, but the lunch specials are amazing. For about $13 bucks, you can get 5-6 good sized wings with awesome thin crispy fries AND a boba drink! You even get a choice of fries-- I highly recommend the kimchi, but I'm sure they're all good. I just went to a BTS event, sorry, I'm not army, just a friendly tourist. They had a butterfly drink with strawberry rose lemonade. I put in that popping lychee boba, and it was perfect. Bonus is definitely your spot to find boba in the land of the pears. Top notch!

    Drinks were delicious. I got a sunset green tea and it taste so refreshing and flavorful. The place is really cute and vibrant.

    Bonus Cafe is your one stop shop for quick bites, brunch, sweet treats, and refreshing drinks! Not only do they have great coffee drinks such as their house coffee and Vietnamese Iced Coffee, they also have a wide range to choose from, like their Mangonadas to milk teas and fun milkshakes. Their dishes are also so flavorful and yummy. We especially enjoyed the Garlic Noodles and Kimchi Fries. I also loved their high-quality baked goods like the cookies and turnovers, so soft and the perfect texture! The quality of food is really good and super delicious. Their drinks are also good but a tiny bit too sweet for me personally. If you live near Pearland, this is a perfect hangout spot too, highly recommend supporting your local small businesses if this is your neighborhood! Only downside for me is that it is super far and I never come to Pearland. There are plenty of seats and tables inside. Parking is spacious and you can easily find an empty space! Staff is super friendly and came out with all the drinks and food very quickly.

    Best customer service ever! Came in not knowing what to order and got the best recommendations. The food is delicious with reasonable prices and reasonable portions. Not busy at all and very calm environment. Overall recommend if you want something fast and refreshing!

    Sunset Green Tea!!! It's exactly how it sounds.
    Joanna P.

    If I can give this place 6 stars I would! This is your quick, fabulous stop for some amazing boba refreshments and yummy snacks! They really live up to their name, Bonus. Like when you do something extra for someone to make their day...and they do that here all the time!!! They put in that "bonus" in every order that makes every trip and sip a fantastic experience. I've been to many boba shops, but this place is by far the best one yet.

    I've been wanting to try Red Oak Cafe for a while…read more I love their back story and Christian theme. My friend & fellow elite and I arrived on a Saturday around 11AM and didn't have to wait for a table. I had the Big Breakfast which includes 2 pancakes. They have so many different mix-ins for their pancakes, anyone's bound to find their perfect mix-in combo. I think I found mine with the banana pecan mix-ins and sides of strawberry butter. The pancakes are huge. I ended up taking one home. The bananas weren't too sweet and had the perfect amount of ripeness for the pancakes. I ended up getting 2 sides of strawberry butter but could've easily eaten like four of the small . The biscuit with the big breakfast was fluffy and delicious especially with the yummy strawberry butter. The eggs over medium were cooked perfectly. The cheddar jalapeno grits were a little bland but did the trick. I tried my pal's hash browns and they were perfectly seasoned and thoroughly cooked but not crispy. The hash browns are definitely the better option over the grits. The bacon was delicious and perfectly crispy. I asked the waiter for crispy but not burnt bacon and he got it just right. The restaurant was warm and inviting. The waiter was super personable and helpful. I felt like I was at breakfast Disneyland. I was able to get anything I wanted with no problem and with the kindest most helpful attitude from the waiter. I look forward to returning!

The cookie was baked to soft perfection. I went with a friend who thankfully knew to join the waitlist about an hour before we planned to arrive, which made the wait very manageable. Had we not known that important little tip, we probably would've been waiting close to an hour. Overall, it was such a pleasant experience, and I'd definitely go back again.

    Let me preface this review by stating that I have been to this establishment multiple times & had…read moreglowing, amazing service each time. However, my last experience with this establishment left a horrible taste in my mouth. Therefore, I am giving them an extra star for the previous experiences. On May 17th, 2026, my best friend and I had been looking forward to coming to Water Oak all day and had our taste buds set for the occasion. We were famished and had quite a day up until arriving. Upon entering the restaurant, we were very briefly greeted by the a Hispanic man who I assume is the manager and told that they were "no longer seating for the day". I glanced around and saw that every table inside WAS seated, however there were many tables outside that were empty. I asked about the patio stating that us where we preferred to sit anyway, and was met with that they were also not seating the patio at all for the rest of the day. However, there was a group of 3 women seated outside on the patio at that exact time. I didn't say anything, simply turned and left. After having "one of those days" hashing out something so minute with a person who clearly didn't want us in their place of business was not something I was about to do. Keep in mind, we came on a Sunday afternoon. Prime brunch time. We arrived at the restaurant around 2:30PM, and their website says they don't close until 4PM. I am a biracial black woman and my friend is white. I noticed a significant amount of White and Latino patrons, but a shocking lack of Black people. With Houston having one of the most diverse populations in the US, it is almost impossible not to see at least one individual of each ethnicity in a place at any given time. I am definitely not one that likes to pull the race card, because oftentimes that is not the issue. However, as someone who is familiar with the service industry I understand Sundays can be extremely overwhelming. And I am cognizant that not everything is that serious. But, I am also aware that a lot of people in the industry discriminate against people of color, with stigmas that we don't leave enough gratuity or we "don't fit the vibe of their establishment". And those 3 women seated on the patio? All White. After reading recent reviews, it seems that management is discriminating against people of color, more specifically Black folks. This is an extremely disheartening and sickening realization to make, seeing as I have given well over $1,000 worth of my money here but also enjoyed many meals without issue. To management: It breaks my heart to have to write this review and to be honest, I wouldn't have written it if I hadn't seen others posting about similar experiences in addition to also feeling discriminated against. I highly suggest that if you are "not seating" after a specific time, you announce this via social media or alert potential patrons with a sign or something of the sort. & obviously, there is such an issue with treatment towards POC that it is a noteworthy problem via your Google & Yelp reviews. You will have a much bigger fish to fry on your hands if you continue to let this issue go on unrectified. I would be willing to return if I felt things were to be changed for the better in the future! Hopefully this review sparks a much needed conversation and brings attention to an area which needs work.
