This review is for the green tea with lychee jelly, which was perfectly refreshing on a typical hot ass Houston day. I went HAM (yes pun please) with the three meat bahn mi, bUT perhaps I overdid it with the fries egg, so perhaps I'll keep it simple to a classic bahn me next time. I really like I heart Boba's jellies, poppers selection, since they are aplenty. I also sometimes like to just get a refreshing iced tea with no cream and no Boba (I know gasp)! If you know me, I love lychee anything and I can drink green tea till I am green in the face lol. read more

I got the tai tea with boba, light ice, extra sugar. This is not a review of the whole place as I have only gotten one menu item. The boba was good however the tai tea was subpar. Definitely better tai tea at 85 C cafe by ranch 99, however as a white person, my parents never go shopping there, and I heart boba is right by HEB and little Cesar's making it a very convenient spot. Next time I'll try a different menu item, maybe that will be better. read more

Awesome smoothie, no sugar, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% added. Or No sugar added. Tons of flavors and many many bobas and jellies. Sooooo good, fast and great flavors. read more

I Heart Boba - Yummy yum yum - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

First time at this location, I stopped in for a to-go order. As soon as I walk in the workers are welcoming and assist me. I got a lychee green tea with lychee jelly along with their chicken banh mi & the special combination banh mi. The tea was really good, I got 50% sweetness and it was perfect, the lychee jelly had a good texture and wasn't too chewy. The sandwiches were okay, nothing to complain about, just not my favorite banh mi. The restaurant was clean & tidy, minus the couches that look like they've seen better days, besides that tables and chairs were clean. read more

The second star literally is for the cleanliness the restaurant appeared to be. Service was okay, I wanted to help the staff make drinks...they looked so overwhelmed. I had one customer before me, she ordered 4 drinks. The cashier with glasses appeared to be new or training. The other two employees were producing the orders. Remember to welcome your paying customers, oh what a warm greeting will do. My drink process from start to finish was about 10-12 minutes. I had ordered the Taro Cream Tea with coffee jelly and it was around $5+ about average pricing, my expectations of the drink were to be "drinkable", because of the area we were in. Then when I realized I was in the HEB parking lot, the expectation of drink quality was lower. My taro milk tea had a really odd lingering taste, like dirty freezer burn or unfiltered water taste. I tried to ignore it, maybe let the drink melt a bit...NEGATIVE. Save yourself. read more

I have been to a couple Iheartbobas, and this one, out of all of them was the probably the worst, the service was great but the bobas in the boba tea were literally pea sized... any other one I go to has regular or big sized bobas, and no I did not ask for mini boba, so I was like wth is this?? I was so mad never going here again read more

What was going on? A year later, nothing has improved. I was in the area for lunch. Contemplating on Little Ceasar Pizza and I Heart Boba, should I pack 2000 calories on a $5 pizza to last few meals or take a quick healthy snack for $4. Not like I couldn't maintain my figure, I chose I Heart Boba. I looked inside of restaurant, 3 employees looked at me as they were ready to take my order. I wanted a banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) but something tastier than what I had a year ago. I asked cashier if they use banh mi bread. She looked puzzled and asked the sandwich maker. Oh. Good. "Give me a meatball banh mi, please." About 8 minutes later, my order was ready. A skinny package in a roomy bag got me worried. It looked skinny like a wrapped hot dog. I regretted because next 15 minutes, I was grumbling about this food while driving back to work. I don't know if it's how folks eat banh mi in this part of town, all vegetables were cooked soft. The pickled carrots Do Chua was soft and saggy. Cucumber strips were soft and slightly crunchy on the skin. Bread seemed fresh. Meatballs were tiny. The entire sandwich tasted sour because it was loaded with pickled carrots. Oh, my name is Lou, not lu. It's okay. Bec6i was the only customer in the restaurant at that time. read more

If I could less than one star I would. Best advise I can give is to order via the app. They get preferential treatment. If you walk in and order you get to sit there for 25 minutes watching, until you say something. Real shame it used to be pretty good. read more

Great bread on the bahn mi. Good flavor and the tea was great too. I would definitely come back read more

Are you kidding me?! It's been here for so long and I finally tried it. Their avocado smoothie was smooth, creamy and my favorite.. not icy! I also got the almond cream tea, fan! read more

Do I Heart Boba? I do Heart Boba! Located in a very busy shopping center on Kempwood and Gessner, I Heart Boba is nestled between HEB and Little Caesar's. At first, I was really hesitant to go when they first opened, because I didn't know how their boba was going to be. Knowing from all of my previous experiences with good/magnificent boba from the Houston Chinatown area, I was hoping that this place wouldn't ruin my expectations of what a boba drink should be. I mean think about it... you have Sharetea, you have Gong Cha, you have 7 Leaves, you have Tapioca House, and a billion other places that serve boba in Houston. And this random place shows up? I had to ask around first. After getting a good general public opinion, I decided to try this for myself for the very first time (which was about a week ago). They had a promotion special of Buy 2 Smoothies, get a Tea/Iced drink for free! I ran for it, and got the Pina Colada Smoothie, Blueberry/Banana Smoothie, and Boba Cream Tea, all with boba added. I gotta say, it was pretty good! Nice place in our local neighborhood area to get a quick boba fix. If you're around, you should stop by after shopping at HEB, or grab a boba drink with that $5 Regular Pepperoni pizza too. read more

Great service and fabulous boba. The kids were so pleased with everything we ordered.

My absolute fav place for boba! So cute inside! The menu is pretty diverse! The service is always a 10/10 as well. read more

I Heart Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I saw a lot of good reviews for this place so my friends and I decided to Door Dash it (twice because it was actually really good). I like that they have stickers to indicate which drink is which. I am super happy that my friends live close by because I will be asking to come here more often when I'm in town. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was good, a little watered down (could be from the ice melting on the drive home) but still good. I was definitely cracked out on caffeine until 5AM that night, yikes. Beware if you are possibly sensitive to caffeine. Peach Green Tea was SO good. The first initial sip of any fruit tea, I'm always looking out for how strong the tea flavor is. This was the perfect mix. The tea didn't overpower the peach flavor which I really loved. The boba was made perfectly with a great level of chewiness. Mango Green Tea was also good, but I prefer the peach flavor! Try this place if you're in the area! We were able to shop around HEB as well. read more

Best mango smoothies! Clean & good service fast. Have to try the teas next time. I moved to the area recently & I'll be back.

Slow service when I walked in there were only one person ahead of me after she checked them out she proceeded to assist the other employees with the prep and after that answer a phone call before servicing me first which was pretty irritating a two people behind me left because it was taking so long to get checked out. No one should wait so long to pay because all I wanted to do was pay sit and wait for my order. read more

Great place!!!! Lots of boba to choose from. The sandwiches are good too and they are pretty cheap. I like the bbq pork!! read more

Lovely people have always welcomed me when I go in to purchase my liquid crack Seriously try the Viet Coffee, that stuff is not only dangerously good but it is a jolt of energy that even Zeus himself will break the skies and reign it upon you within your first sip. Highly recommend. Highly addictive. read more

I Heart Boba - Viet Coffee - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I had the hazelnut cream tea with boba. It was delicious, but they were a bit stingy with the boba. I also had the pork bbq sandwich, which was pretty good. I prefer when they just put the cilantro leaves in the sandwich without the stalks. This was almost all stalks and no leaves. It's super loud behind the counter, and the cashier is behind plexiglass, so I couldn't hear her at all. I doubt l'll go back because they up charge you 3.84% for using a credit card. I'm sorry, but that's the cost of doing business. Nice effort, but there are hundreds of these places in this town that are better. read more

I ordered the hazel cream tea and there was no tea flavor. The amount of cream they used was mind blowing as I watched. It looked like a cup of dry cream. When I tasted the drink it was very similar to protein flavor shake. Service was good. Clean place. read more

Been in this location many times. My band rehearses down the road, so it's close by. Thai tea is my go to, but isn't very good this time. Something tastes off. But that isn't the reason for this review. So whenever you go to this location, you can enter your number In, and after 5 visits, you get a free one. This particular visit should have been my 6th, because I didn't use my free one last visit. I enter my number in to use the free one, only to be asked "is that the number you always use? I had to enter you in as a new customer." Yes, I've had this number for 17 years. I was upset, but let it go. I paid for my drink and went to sit down and wait on it. As I'm sitting there, I hear the cashier ask the girl who was behind me "is that the same number you always use? I had to enter you in as a new customer". So both her and I got screwed out of our free loyalty drinks, and start from scratch. That's a bit too convenient. read more

Stopped by craving for Vietnamese coffee. I have read from reviews that Vietnamese coffee is really good . Definitely NOT, very water down coffee. Drive down the street to a pho place and they will make you a fresh drip cafe du monde that will taste 100000% better . DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!! Wish I could give no stars!! on a side note if you check in on yelp you can qualify for 50% off on your 2nd drink. read more

For some reason today, the Thai tea with Boba was not good at all. I asked for it to be dairy free thinking that was the issue but a friend got Thai tea w the regular half and half. It tasted like powder. Not sure what happened here. A bit disappointed. read more

Me and my wife were so excited when we heard this place was opening, since it's so close to us and that we love boba. We have been going here ever since they opened. I'm always trying new drinks that they have and adding boba, they have so many different add ons here I get something new almost every time! I usually get their regular Tapioca though because it's always so fresh and squishy. Highly recommend their Taro cream tea or their Viet Coffee with boba if you're itching for that bitter kick. My wife is obsessed with their green Thai tea, and I don't blame her! Last but not least, their banh mi's are really tasty too. The meat and vegetables are fresh and the bread is soft and crunchy. I usually get the bbq chicken banh mi with everything on it. Mix that with your favorite beverage of choice, whether it's coffee, tea, or slushi and you're all set! Couldn't recommend this place enough to all friends and family! All boba lovers should give this place a try, it's Awesome. read more

I love love love this place so much! I highly recommend the pomegranate black tea and recommend you get double boba added. The drink is perfect every time and the service has been great both times I've been. No place in Houston has pomegranate black tea so this is my go to place! Not to mention the tapioca pearls are sweetened perfectly and so great; I've always had a hit or miss with other places boba pearls but not this one. I highly recommend. :) read more

Pretty happy with this new neighborhood find. Their sandwiches have good flavor with the chargrilled bbq pork meat and the sandwiches are dressed properly. Good pricing. I am no longer going to roostars for my sandwiches. They have jacked up their prices too high. Plus the boba here is really good. read more

Decided to stop and check it out after work. I was looking for something quick, yummy and not too pricey. Service is quick and friendly, space is nice and clean. It did not disappoint, i had the mango smoothie and charbroiled bbq chicken sandwich, just wished the baguette wasn't so thin. Both delicious. Prices are reasonable and food is great. They have a variety of smoothies, slushies, teas and a good selection of sandwiches. I will definitely come again. Restrooms are clean as well. read more

I've been to a different location a few times and it is my first time ordering Uber eats from this specific location. I ordered the green cream tea with egg pudding and a honeydew cream tea. My green cream tea was overly sweet and it tasted like someone put salty plums in my drink. It was gross. Not ordering from this location again. If you plan on ordering here, I would recommend doing half sugar. The honeydew was also super artificial tasting. Definitely a hard pass on that as well. read more

Delicious boba! I got chai with boba and it was extremely flavorful. The service was fast and efficient, they have lots and lots of options for add ins and toppings along with a large drink menu. Their sandwiches are also very tasty and a good portion for a snack. 10/10 recommend!! read more
