So glad to hear that one recently opened up in Houston. Would LOVE to take my cousins here one day…read more Environment/Atmosphere - Super crowded when we got here, but the lines moved fast, and there was a kiosk to self-order if you didn't want to wait in line for the cashier. One of my favorite things was how fragrant the space smelled while I waited for my boba. You could tell there was an exceptional tea aroma lingering despite all the cream and sweetness. The place was exceptionally clean for being so busy, and the workers consistently cleaned as they made the drinks, so you knew you could trust the sanitation here. Drink Design - I have to make a separate comment on how CUTE these drinks were. I loved the intentional sticker placement over the lips and the little carrying handle. You could tell they went the extra mile to make these drinks not just flavorful, but an experience in and of themselves. Even their receipt paper felt luxurious. That sounds ridiculous to point out, but the thought behind every aspect of this place is impeccable. High Mountain Pouchong Tea w. Lemon Juice & Mousse (Creamy Lemon Tart) - After all the sugar I had today, this lemony drink hit the spot with its perfect tartness. The cream had bits of lemon zest in it, adding to the aroma. I tried to adjust the sweetness when I ordered and was told it had a built-in sweetness, but if I found it too sweet, they would happily switch it out for another drink. I felt like I was dealing with Amazon's generous return policy--and luckily, the drink was perfect, so no return was needed! Creamy Mango Tart - Literally like the Lemon Tart, but mango. I loved this just as much and really enjoyed the refreshing flavors of BOTH tarts. Instantly a fan favorite. Dong Ding Oolong Tea w. Fresh Milk - Very mild and creamy, almost like a mellow latte. Not my favorite because it was a bit too creamy after everything else I had today. Still, I loved the tea profile and can absolutely see why others would love it. Overall, I love, love, LOVE this place. 1000/10. From the experience to the quality and intentionality behind every little detail, I couldn't be happier with my visit. I never thought I'd ever say that a drink was so Instagram-worthy, but these drinks were beautiful--like models of the boba world. Would go back in a heartbeat. This has officially won the spot for my favorite boba place.

Maybe I'll come back to sample the teas on weekends.

The worker gave me some recommendations of their best sellers. This place is very small, so it more like a grab & go, which is perfect because it's located at the mall. You can get a drink & walk around the mall. If you want to have a seat, there's a some seating in front or in the food court. The triple supreme matcha latte was my favorite. It's matcha overload; matcha infused cheese cloud, matcha mochi, & matcha jelly added to their matcha latte. It's so creamy & very matcha forward; highly recommend for a matcha lover. The coconut mango blue was yummy & refreshing. It had a good mango flavor. Overall, their drinks are carefully curated. I can't wait to try their limited time drinks.

Finally got to try Hey Tea bc I had something to do at the Galleria today…read more My friend was hyping up this place as its one of his favorite boba places in Houston. There were a lot of choices to choose from on the menu and honestly all of them looked appealing. But since I wanted to try my friend's go-to order, I stuck with the Jasmine Milk Tea. The default is less sugar which I find just right. Not too sweet and not too bland. You can definitely smell/taste the Jasmine as well. I enjoyed it and would definitely go back if I was at the Galleria again. But since there are a ton of boba shops in the area, I wouldn't personally make a trip down here specifically to just get a drink.

Amazing Houston! Ist time at this place. The young lady behind the counter this morning ( about…read more12ish ! ) explained varios hot coffee, available. I choose Vietnam coffee. At other restaurants it is served as coffee & condensed milk separately However, here it was premixed & bit bitter. She offered to separate 1/2 coffee into another cup & added lot of milk.

Parking situation is subpar in their large parking lot, one of the downsides of this plaza. It's always a pain parking to visit any restaurants in between Yale and Heights. Anyways, the interior is fairly clean and modern, the menu is small and concise and the staff of two worked hard to get drinks made quickly. I enjoyed my matcha brown sugar drink (with boba and matcha pudding). The boba had really nice texture and the matcha was also fairly heavy. I got oat milk with mine, which is nice that they're not using whole milk or milk powder. Most of the drinks are in the $6-7 range, which again is fairly standard for the nicer boba spots. It's a nice boba tea option for the Heights!

I got the brown sugar boba creme burlee milk, which was pretty tasty, it comes with boba and creme brulee, which is a nice custard. Big fan of the boba, just the right level of chewiness. Bonus is the option of oat and soy milk in addition to organic milk. I can attest to them handwhisking the matcha, and they measure out the proportions to get it right each time. Definitely worth giving them a shot and supporting local, plus for the next 1-2 months they're doing 50% off (physical coupon needed for December, just pick one up!)

I really wanted to like Gong Cha, especially since there aren't any It's Boba Time locations around…read morehere and I was craving a solid milk tea. Unfortunately, this visit was a letdown. The drink itself was incredibly mediocre honestly, it tasted like something I could have made at home. For nearly $8 (adding boba is extra ), I expected a lot more depth of flavor and quality. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't worth the price point. What really threw me off, though, was the smell inside the store. I had planned to sit down and get some work done, but I couldn't stay. There was a very odd, funky odor -- almost like when clothes sit in the washing machine too long and start to sour. I'm not sure what it was, but it was strong enough to be distracting and pretty off-putting. Overall, between the bland drink and the unpleasant atmosphere, this location missed the mark. I hope they address the cleanliness issue because the experience just didn't justify the cost.

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.
