Path of Tea is one of the longest running purveyors of artisanal organic and herbal tea in Houston…read more I have known of this tea spot's existence for years and frequently pass by while driving along West Alabama. To be perfectly honest, I am really more of a Tea Sip kind of person and still lament the closure of that Heights institution. For me, 19th Street isn't the same without it. Path of Tea is a totally different kind of operation, however. As for ambience, although I did enjoy looking at some of the decor (hanging fixtures, wall art, etc.), the overall design of the interior felt a bit dated and I would classify the lighting as dim. When we walked in, the guy who works the counter was actually seated and seemed to blend in with the clientele. So, initially, it wasn't clear who's minding the store, so to speak. I thought the guy's communication was on the dry side, but was really more interested in the offerings to focus much on that. The tea I ordered was just OK (peach and apricot blend, as I recall). My guest enjoyed their tea and cookie, but for myself, my heart is still with Tea Sip and it will probably take a long time for me to find a shop of that caliber. Parking, as I recall, was fairly easy as it is towards the end of a strip center. Overall, I would rate this business a 3/5.

They have a good selection of savory items and it's delicious (4/5) Tea (3/5), I really liked the chai. As elegant and cozy as the place it's not as pretty as the one I have been to.

After trying High Tea for the first time in Scotland, I have been looking for something here in…read moreHouston and I was super excited to find The Tea Lounge. Located in the lobby of the St. Regis hotel. It looks like an old fashioned lounge and had many sofas with tables and regular tables scattered around. Everything is spaced out and social distancing is possible. For $60/person, you have a great selection of sandwiches as well as desserts and unlimited tea. There is a harpist who plays music in the background which adds to the relaxing ambiance. There were two tea options: a cherry blossom green tea with sandwiches and a five blend black tea with dessert. The Sandwhich were a combination of meat (salmon, chicken salad and beef) and vegetarian (cheese and cucumber). The dessert includes scone with clotted cream, fruit tart and cheesecake. The staff was constantly coming around and filling your cup and were very accommodating. Overall, it was a great experience! This is a great group (4-6 people) or couples date.

I was in for a long drive from Sugar Land out to The Woodlands, so I decided to swing into Asiatown…read moreand grab a drink to help soothe the pain of driving on the Sam Houston at 3pm. 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.

This is my second time enjoying the menu at this location. I had a wonderful, comfortable patio…read moreseat, on a mild summer day. It was a solo lunch to celebrate my birthday, and I was offered a pink rose as I checked in for my reservation. Peyton was an excellent waitress, very kind and consistently checking on me and making sure that I was enjoying my meal. I had the Chia pudding, which was excellent to start. The berries were fresh and the serving fries was appropriate. Next, I enjoyed the strawberry compote pancakes with a side of chicken sausage. The chicken sausage was a little bit drier than I had anticipated, but overall everything was extremely well cooked and well proportioned. The berries are baked into the pancake as well as topped off, so it is decadent without being too heavy. I also enjoyed both the lychee margarita and the lychee martini. Both were satisfying, but if I had to go with only one, I probably would choose the lychee margarita. I also appreciated the birthday surprise of a nice chocolate, mousse delight. What I enjoy most about the patio experience is the well curated aesthetic. There is actual intentionality with making sure that in the middle of busy River Oaks shopping district, you still feel like you are in a whimsical far away place. I also really enjoy the "Bossa Nostra" remix background music of many popular hits that have been framed to be more relaxing melodies. I would say the menu is well-rounded and balanced, there are healthier options as well as a little bit more rich menu options. I've enjoyed myself thoroughly and look forward to dining here again.

For a non-asian coffee shop, this was a great matcha color-wise, and it was a beautiful sweet treat. I appreciated the little bits of nuts (forgot what kind) that came in a few sips. The Turkish Delight was a good option too, and you can taste the hints of rose that usually get lost in some drinks if not done right. I've also tried the Golden Harvest - which is a sweet corn latte - from their seasonal menu as well and it was good! I have not tried their food items, hemp drinks, or cocktails before, but by the quality and presentation of what I have tasted I'm sure they're good as well. This place is great if you're looking for a casual, late night work/study sesh and there's plenty of seating. I wouldn't recommend for groups larger than 4 though. Parking is the only con since they have limited, tight spots.

Never disappointed when I visit.

If you're an iced tea fan, this place is jackpot gold!…read more I had drive by this place many times and decided to stop by on a hot day during happy hour.

You can opt for plain or one of their many flavored fresh brewed teas, sweet or unsweetened, in several different sizes. Sampling cups are provided, so you can sample any flavor before choosing. There's even a toppings bar with sugar substitutes available if you're trying to avoid sugar. This place can get pretty busy during summer happy hour, because a refreshing cup of iced tea just really hits the spot
