One of the best tea shops in Houston! They don't need to…read moreprove anything to you, they don't need crazy advertising or always show up on social media. They simply care for the tea leaves, the hidden brown sugar note in their milk tea No.5 (if you like "dry" milk tea, give it a try) Tips: I always adjust my sugar level to 50% and add boba to balance the sweetness. Tho I quite like boba from Fengcha better, it is still very uniquely chewy and tasty. Milk tea No.3 is more milky and less tea flavor, and milk tea No.2 is just like green milk tea IMO so not very impressed with No.2 I have tried their cheese milk tea as well and would recommend it. It reminds me of cheese foam tea/milktea so if that's something you like go for it. Their mango tea is very refreshing, pair it with housemade fruit jelly for a perfect combo. The peach tea is a little strange to taste imo. Not sure if that's just very authentic or artificial... Overall, very good and unique drink recipes you can't find elsewhere. The staff is nice and the shop atmosphere always keeps up to seasonal events.

I went here because it was recommended to me and rightfully so. It was actually a different take on…read morebubble tea and that's because they actually add in pandan jelly pieces. I tried the green collection which was like a Thai green tea with some jellies and tiny bobas, it came with all of those toppings already and costed about $8. It was a cute little shop and it looks like you can purchase more of the pandan on the side. The service was excellent. They can recommend you something that's popular. They also have some little food items for the side.

The lines move fairly quick so it's not too bad. I like their mango drinks, the coconut mango boom and the cloud mango. Decent size for the price and quality is consistent.

I came here with my new in-laws after my wedding in Oct 2025 and this was just open recently. I'd…read moresay that the staff were still figuring out their operations or it was just a bad day because they messed up my husband's drink and were trying to charge us for a 2nd drink but we clarified that what they gave us was not what we had ordered. And it turned into a situation where we had to tell the manager that the way to fix it was to just to make the new drink correct and give us the 1st drink because it was more than the drink we initially wanted. The other drinks we got were good and my family didn't complain about their drinks. I think service could be better but I understand they were still probably figuring out their operations. The whole place is concrete, and kept very simple. Even the bathroom door blends into the wall and I wouldn't have known how to go to the restroom had I not seen someone go before me. It's nice and clean inside. Great for groups which is what I typically see on weekends with the line out the door.

Their drinks are super refreshing, and I really appreciate that they're not overly sweet like a lot of other places. The tea flavors are well-balanced, and there's a great variety to choose from, so there's always something new to try. The seasonal drinks are definitely worth checking out--they keep things interesting and are always a hit. Service has consistently been fast and friendly, which makes the experience even better. I also like that they offer both the standard 20 oz and 32 oz sizes depending on how thirsty you are. The inside has a really cute aesthetic, making it a nice spot to stop by, and there's plenty of parking available. Just keep in mind it can get a bit busy on weekends or holidays, so parking might take a little extra time. Overall, a great spot for quality tea and a quick, enjoyable visit-highly recommend!

One team member kindly explained the drinks I was curious about and even gave me a recommendation, which I really appreciated--and it was spot on! I went with the Hawaii Sunset fruit tea at 50% sugar. Just a heads-up: their fruit teas lean more on the fruit-forward side than actual tea, and mine was definitely on the sweeter end of the spectrum--likely from the syrup in the mango popping boba. Even at half sugar, it was pretty sweet. I also noticed a couple of things that could've made the drink better: some lemon seeds were left in, and the smaller bits of mango weren't fully ripe, which made the texture a bit off. That said, the staff's kindness and the wide variety of drinks make me want to come back and try other options! I'm especially interested in their Saigon street food menu and those adorable kitty paw-shaped mochi waffles. The shop itself is small with limited seating, so I'd recommend grabbing your drinks to-go unless you're staying for a bite. Bonus points for being located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking--no stress finding a spot!

But then I came back the next day to get the Banana Matcha Latte and it was amazing. It tastes really fresh and just the right amount of banana + matcha to complement each other. I will say (and maybe it's a personal thing) that it was a little thicker than I would have liked but I finished my drink so fast. I wasn't able to grab a drink before it started mixing. The ambiance and service are also quite nice. I was able to get some work done here and there are a good amount of tables for either chatting or getting work done. I went on a Thurs and Fri morning and the music was at a good volume though does get a little loud at times. Sometimes the staff will bring you your drink which I thought was nice of them. I would say that this place is a must try!

I am a harsh critic when it comes to coffee, maybe even more than I am when it comes to food, and…read morethis pandan Vietnamese coffee combo absolutely blew me away. Houston's Vietnamese coffee scene is incredibly strong, but not all cups are created equal. What I loved about this one was how rich, bold, and deeply coffee-forward it was without ever tasting burnt or bitter. The coffee had that intense Vietnamese coffee flavor you want while remaining smooth and balanced from start to finish. Paired with the pandan, it was a perfect combination. The pandan added subtle vanilla-like and floral notes along with just the right amount of sweetness. Best of all, it was not overly sweet, which is where a lot of specialty coffee drinks miss the mark for me. The flavors complemented each other beautifully without either one overpowering the other. That said, this place is chaotic. If you're in a rush, I probably would not recommend it. My coffee took about 20 minutes, and the operation felt busy and hectic. Honestly, though, it was worth the wait to try authentic, high-quality Vietnamese coffee in Houston. If pandan is not your thing, don't worry. They have a huge menu with plenty of other coffee and drink options to choose from. For coffee lovers, this is the kind of place worth seeking out. Houston continues to impress me with its Vietnamese food and coffee scene, and this spot is another reason why.

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.

We really did appreciate his rundown of the menu. However, the iced Mufawaar was VERY watery much to our disappointment. Very much everyone in my group's least favorite. The lotus milkcake (not shown) was delicious Interior I will say I was impressed at how big the space was. Very clean, ideal for some work / study. Beautiful patio outside if this Texas heat wasn't so terrible! Overall I have to give it a 4.2~/5. I think their cake selection is great along with their pistachio featured items
