    Taro Milk Tea, Coffee Milk Tea
    Peyton S.

    Me and my girlfriend love this place so much!!! Everytime we come in the 2 guys always working are smiling and super friendly, today they recognized us and remembered our order and it made us so happy. This is our favorite spot and the boba here is always the perfect consistency and the drinks are super flavorful and always so so so good!! We love formosa and we love the workers

    Why 4 stars? Because if we lived nearby, we would definitely stop in here often. --- --- --- I've had Formosa bookmarked for quite a while now, and we finally stopped in to visit. I understand why they have such great reviews because the customer service here is top notch. Both of the people working here could not have been more friendly. I was incredibly tempted to order the chocolate banana smoothie only because it's a bit different of an item that you'll see at a typical boba shop. But I ended up being boring and and going with my usual: taro/coconut. My honest feedback here is that it was good, not great. It could have used a tad more sweetness. One of the people working here mentioned that they do a hot taro drink, which definitely piqued my interest. I have never had boba in a hot beverage before and would definitely love to try it in the future, as well as that chocolate banana concoction.

    Famosas bubble tea never disappoints! I am on a no caffeine, no sugar thing right now, so I got a yummy Rose, hibiscus tea. Hubby gets a mango slush and my teens like the vanilla latte. The owners are super friendly. And they have a point system to earn free drinks.

    Always looking for some good boba drinks and this fit the bill. The gentleman behind the counter was terribly personable and charming. He guided us through the menu sharing personal favorites and explaining new treats. This had one of the most extensive slush menus I have seen.

    Great service! These guys always have a positive attitude every time I walk in. They make me feel like an individual and not just a customer. They take modifications to the drinks without stress.

    Seems to be family owned and can be easily missed unless you are looking for a boba teahouse. Make sure to stop by and show support. I ordered the peach melon green tea with rainbow jelly. I didn't know it wasn't unsweetened so if you do ask for one make sure to ask to add sweetener if you want your tea sweetened. Many varieties of flavors I haven't seen before. Everyone is very nice and welcoming! Highly recommend!

    My boba cravings are random and are uncontrollable to the point that I have driven to Chinatown from Cypress to get my boba fix. One day I had to fill up gas before going back to my apartment by Telge and Grant. I was at the gas station and saw that there a shop in the corner of the parking lot that said something about a teahouse. This peaked my interest and I hesitantly drove there not knowing what I was getting myself into. Normally I try to make judgements about places only after I get the stuff from there but this time the place was so cute that I just couldn't stop adoring it from the moment I walked in. During the pandemic they have markers on the floor making social distancing enforcements palpable and a sign at the entrance that tells you no entry without a mask. These little things make such a big difference when you are trying to find places to go to during these times. First time I tried the brown sugar milk tea boba and while I liked the boba I forgot to mention them to keep the sweetness at 50% level. Thankfully it was so good that I drank it all before I reached my apartment in Montrose. Next time (yesterday) I got the Japanese green tea milk tea with coconut jelly (50% sweetness, I remembered this time lol) and omg. I went to get a little something sweet because I was hitting my 3 o'clock slump while working from home and it was exactly what I needed. The 50% sugar level was not too sweet and the coconut jelly created the perfect balance between the natural taste of the tea with the sweetness from the coconut jelly. Today, I was craving something a little more intense and since my mom was home I decided to get her a drink as well. This time I tried the Vietnamese ice coffee and the buckwheat milk tea. The buckwheat milk tea has similarities to the green tea except it's caffeine free. This was a perfect selling point for me because my mom doesn't drink caffeine. The tea was 25% sweetness with coconut jelly and my mom is now a bubble tea fan! The Vietnamese ice coffee is what I needed to get throughout the day. Bonus points for their reward system! You can enter your phone number and it will send you alerts letting you know how many points you have and when they are going to expire! I can't wait till I have my next boba craving when I am in Cypress because I know exactly where I'll be going to get my fix! PS I am not sure if the people working there are the owners but they are SUPER friendly and EXTREMELY helpful in trying to guide you to make a decision regarding what to order according to your preferences.

    Bubble tea, Boba tea, or tapioca tea, etc. Its the same thing and the best you can find in the area is Here! The owner is very genuine and humble. The basic unsweetened Formosa milk tea I had and the interior design remind me of my hometown. I usually request not to add additional sugar in my drinks cuz I like to taste the tea flavor in my milk tea. However, I did not have any luck to find a decent drink until Formosa Bubble tea house. The drink I had was well balanced.

    Brought the kids along after I went once and they all loved it!

    A hidden gem when it shouldn't be! I can't believe I lived in the area for three years without knowing such an amazing boba shop was within five minutes of my home. I always drove down to Bellaire to get my boba fix. The store is extremely clean and the drinks are very authentic, like real Taiwanese tapioca drinks. Sooo good. I'll be going here almost daily from now on!

    mango slush with boba

    love every drink here, they aren't stingy with any add ins you add and I love that because most places are stingy. i'm never disappointed, and always come back. highly recommend!

    Green peach tea with boba
    Ashley S.

    So my husband just visited and he calls and asked me what tea that I wanted I said peach tea with boba and I thought that was the end of it lol nope. He calls back and asked what color I wanted so I thought he's talking about boba he says do you want green or black and I'm thinking oh wow they must have a new flavor of boba. No lol green tea or black tea lol so he gets home I taste this and I thought someone put something in my tea because it tastes like bush's baked beans legit lmao. It dawned on me girl you got peach flavoring with green tea and boba am I the slowest or what. I'm like well this makes since why it tastes like this lol so I'm just drinking this enjoying my mistake. Now I know better I will be back.

    Community thanked Formosa Bubble Teahouse for their support after the Great Texas Freeze.

    We love Formosa Bubble Teahouse. Derrick and Jerry are so nice. They'll explain all the drinks for you and help you decide what you might like off their large menu of hot and cold refreshments. While discussing the menu, I mentioned that my daughter is allergic to almond milk. The guys reassured me that they use a non-dairy "milk" that is not almond-based. Their flavors are fantastic and I think they have the largest selection of boba and toppings around. After the Great Texas Freeze, these guys delivered their milk products to people who needed it and provided fresh water from their filtration system for people who did not have clean water. Talk about a commendable company!!

I've tried many places around the area, but this one has definitely made me want to come back for my next cup. The milk tea house special wasn't too overly sweet and had a unique, almost burnt flavor, but in a good way. Honestly, I didn't even take pictures because I downed it right away. The mango smoothie was FANTASTIC! hands down the best mango slush I've had at any boba shop. The boba itself was perfectly chewy. I love that it's in a close neighborhood area too, making it easy to swing by. The only downside was that it was 6 PM and they close at 8 on Sundays, yet all the chairs were already put up. That said, the drinks came out super fast, so it wasn't a big deal. Definitely coming back for more!

Especially because the first time (during recent months), the girl made my drink so damn good, I was chasing that one. The subsequent drinks, yes DRINKS, were good but didn't match hers. She is a young Asian girl if you catch her in there. I've had other drinks, the price is similar to all these type of businesses. Sometimes, the wait can be long and one time I went, they were definitely having some kind of sewage situation going on. Idk if with the restaurant or the complex but the smell was unpleasant. If you're in Cypress, and close to mueschke, check em out. I wouldn't drive out the way, otherwise standard drinks.
