Drive-thru Vietnamese coffee shop? Yes please, I am not a coffee drinker but I will order a dozen Milk Teas! Long Coffee has two locations (Katy and Bellaire). This location offers a variety of beverage options and a short list of pastry snacks. During my drive-thru visit, I noticed this location was buzzing with customers. I ordered their strawberry milk tea with rainbow jelly, which was delicious! My order was ready within minutes. The Young man on staff gave great suggestions and had a warm personality. I look forward to returning to this location again for a few pastries. read more

I only come for the avocado and durian smash when I'm in town. I can taste the avocado and durian chunks... and condensed milk with small ice. Addicted to it! Service okay - not too friendly. read more

Long Coffee - Avocado and durian smash with white boba... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came in to quickly order a cafe sua da because I'm in Viet town and everyone always needs a cafe sua da. Good reviews, line around the drive through, what more do you need? I walked to the counter and was immediately greeted by a sweet, chirpy face. I ordered the obvious - cafe sua da and at $4.39, I consider it a fair price. A true brewhouse, the drink menu is entirely coffee and just different ways you can order it (hot, iced, frozen). I went with an OG choice and it was so delicious that if I come back, I'll likely order the same thing again. The crushed ice, sweetness, consistency - everything about my drink was perfect. Sometimes when I drink cafe sua da, some places will make it entirely too strong but this was perfect. Would gladly return!! read more

Delicious. Wish I had one closer to home. I highly recommend the Frozen Coconut Mocha. read more

Long Coffee - Artichoke - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

We got the Avocado smoothie and Royal Artichoke drink. The Avocado smoothie was a little too sweet at first, but the more I drank it the more I came to like the flavor. The Royal Artichoke drink came heavily recommended by lots of my friends, and it definitely lived up to the hype. It reminds me of grass jelly and is super refreshing on a hot day. The service wasn't too bad with lots of workers in the kitchen. They were able to efficiently serve the long line without too much of a wait time. The interior did not offer much seating, and wasn't the cleanest but there is some additional outside seating. I heard there is karaoke sometimes! read more

This has definitely become my favorite coffee place! I came here to get an iced Vietnamese coffee, but when I saw they had frozen mocha coffee on the menu I had to try it. It was soooo good! My sister got an iced vanilla latte which was also really good. This will be my new go to place on the weekends. read more

Wanted to get something different today, so I went with what my husband orders, a strawberry avocado smoothie. I understand it's not on the menu, but this is a drink that he has been getting since 2017 when we were dating. When we ordered, the guy at the window is hesitant and says they can't make it, then he changes his mind and says it's okay they can make it and told us our total, then when we get to the window he flips on us and says they can't make it again? I don't understand how they suddenly can't make the drink when we have ordered it since 2017. On the label, it's printed as a custom smoothie, and they used to make and advertise "custom smoothies" where you're able to choose two fruits. Sad that we'll no longer be customers here since this was the only place he'd go and order something with me since they made a boba smoothie that he liked. read more

Sister had been wanting to try this place for a while but she said that there's always a long line and she's intimidated by it. But the line was shorter today and we went to go try it. It was good but the taste was a little different. BF said it's in the difference from the condensed milk they use. He drinks a lot of Vietnamese Coffee and makes it at home everyday. So it's the preference. But definitely would recommend to go try it out. There's also a really good dan tat place near by that goes really well with the coffee. read more

Been here twice -- the first time I got a Royal Milk tea slush and the second time, I got their cafe sua da (Viet ice coffee with condensed milk). Both were pretty decent. I remember the milk tea slush being pretty good. It isn't on the menu but you can still order it, which is great. The cafe sua da was strong and perfect for an early morning if you need a pick me up. As someone from the West Coast, the prices are pretty average. Service is okay, nothing that fantastic. read more

Long Coffee - Royal artichoke - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Vibe- This is a coffee shop in what is considered Chinatown off of Bellaire Blvd. There's seating outside and about 7 tables inside. Customer service- Great! Food/drinks- I got a hot matcha latte with almond milk (sad they don't have oat milk as a milk alternative) and it was ok; I probably wouldn't come back for it again. They have some bites to eat as well. Parking- Plenty of spots in the lot! read more

Best place for Royal artichoke tea. Service is always friendly in drive thru or inside. I always get mine with boba and 50% sweet and light ice. Then I buy another one with no ice no boba. It will keep for about a day or two but beyond that ...the agar gets slimy and thick. It gets pretty busy inside. Very limited seating inside and out. This use to be a Starbucks but now it's this local Vietnamese coffee shop! I will keep coming here when I make it into town. read more

I've always came here for the drinks but recently found out how delicious their snacks are as well. The royal artichoke here is best in Houston, even at regular sugar level it's not too sweet, very refreshing, and filled with fun toppings. I also like their Cafe Den Da (Black Coffee), super strong and just what you need for a pick me up. Recently, I got the chance to try their Popcorn Chicken and Ham and Cheese Croissant. Both were amazing, especially the popcorn chicken. Have the be the best popcorn chicken I've had to date. Just the perfect amount of crunch on the outside and juicy chicken on the inside. The croissant was made out of sweet dough which was a bit unexpected but it paired very well with the ham and cheese, just ask them to heat it up for you. read more

I preferred their Vietnamese coffee over Lee's Sandwiches! Their coffee is pretty darkly roasted but that with the less condensed milk option is my ideal combo. Went through the drive thru which was really quick, but eager to walk in and check out the interior next time read more

COVID-19: They have outdoor seating for those who want to dine. Masks required. The prices are affordable compared to other boba places, but the teas here aren't noticeable. They're alright. (My SO loves this place, but I don't really care much for it.) I only come here for the cafe sua da and durian avocado smoothie bc they're strong drinks that hit the spot. read more

How have I not known about this place until today?? I don't know how many times I've driven by and dismissed it because it had coffee in the name. I just assumed it was like a Starbucks! But no, my friends... it's so much better. This has now jumped up to one of my fave tea/drink places via the royal artichoke tea that everyone raves about. I was very skeptical about all the reviews because artichoke? In my drink?? Fear not, as there was no veggie taste or otherwise unpalatable odor. It was just refreshing goodness on a hot day. It usually takes me a full day to finish a drink - the royal artichoke tea barely made it the ride home. The sweetness is just right, and if refreshing was a flavor this would be it. I'm also don't usually like all kinds of stuff in my drink, but somehow it was perfect here!! I regret not getting a second one. Enough about the royal artichoke tea everyone else already knew about.... We also got the mocha coconut frozen slush. This was also 5/5 - the coconut cut the bitterness of the coffee just right. I don't like my drinks too sweet so this was just right. I also got the lavender milk tea (3/5) at half sweetness. I'll echo some of the other reviews in saying that I don't really taste the lavender. It's a solid milk tea for sure but wouldn't get it again. We ended up with 4 drinks for ~$20 which is not bad at all. Drive thru moves at a good pace and they make sure not to let it get backed up by shuffling people to the front to wait for drinks. Will be back for sure!! I will be craving that royal artichoke tea until the next visit ~ read more

One of the very few places in this area with a drive-through! Interesting fact for y'all: this used to be a Starbucks many many years ago. There's not much room inside the store. The outside patio is what's happening. It's a great spot for people and car watching. I like getting Cafe Sua Da (Vietnamese Iced Coffee) with coffee jelly. read more

My new go-to place for Matcha smoothies. Seriously, it's just as good as the Starbucks Frappe (the price is about the same) but you can add tapioca, so that actually makes it 10x better. I'm also kinda picky with boba and they make it the right firmness. One of the best strawberry banana smoothies ever as well! Also they staff are all very polite and fast, I love this place. read more

There are so many boba tea shops in Houston as well as the great big chains like Gong Cha and Sharetea, but Long Coffee is surely the best and most unique. Long Coffee dares to play with lots of amazing Asian flavors, such as: longan, lychee, yogurt milk tea, avocado, durian, etc. I always order my milk tea with the least amount of sugar (I believe it's level 3) and it's perfect. Longan milk tea: Delicious longan flavor with longan pieces on the bottom. I know they're just canned longan pieces but they're still very good and have great flavor. Lychee milk tea: Another favorite of mine. Has a bit floral taste to it and tastes just like lychee. Yogurt milk tea: This drink makes me feel very nostalgic. It's simply because Vietnamese yogurt is very different than Aamerican/Greek yogurt, and I can tell that they make their own Vietnamese-style yogurt to use for this drink. It's slightly sweet and creamy, has a nice hint of condense milk taste, and absolutely brings back my childhood. Durian smoothie: Super yummy! I'm a huge durian lover, so I'm very biased about this kind of fruit and drink. Durian is not something you can use powder for the flavor - I don't think there is durian powder like other fruit powder. They use fresh durian or frozen durian for this drink. I can chew a bunch of durian pieces in my smoothie. The fruit itself is already sweet, so I still stick to the lowest amount of sweetness for this drink. Did I mention the price? It's about $4.50-4.75 for a large smoothie while other places charge for almost $6 for this drink. I see many people order avocado durian smoothie but I haven't tried it. I like to enjoy avocado and durian separately. Next time I'll try avocado smoothie - I'm sure it'll be great. Pricing: Cheaper than most places. When was the last time I see a large milk tea for $4 or less? Most places are almost $5 per drink now. Long Coffee drinks are reasonably priced and consistently delicious. Loyalty program: Always a bonus. Buy 10 drinks get 1 free. They also have a drive-through lane which is awesome. I've ordered anything on the drive-through lane, so I can't speak for the experience regarding how fast/slow the service is. I just prefer to go in, see how they make drinks, and place a proper customized order. Every time I'm in Houston, I can't leave without stopping by Long Coffee. read more

Of course when I come back to Houston, I gotta stop by Long Coffee for their Royal artichoke, 50% sweet, no boba, regular ice. When the weather is nice, definitely sit outside for the nice breeze and some fresh air, or sit inside if you prefer AC. I love Long Coffee. Service is always efficient and fast, and their wings are great. Can't go wrong food and drinks here. Personally I don't eat or drink anything durian but they have durian Avocado smoothie for $6.95. In Georgia, we have place that sells something similar for $12.95! So it's a steal if that's what you like! read more

Always LONGing for more! My favorite drink shop in Houston! Popular location because of the drive thru line in one of the popular plazas. All my friends and family love this place because it is a stand-alone locally owned place with tons of options for drinks and even snacks. Their name is coffee and their cafe sua da (Vietnamese coffee) does not disappoint. I love both the iced and the frozen version. But I always get the frozen because it just always hits the spot especially in the Houston heat. I was here for a week with my family and we drove 30 minutes every day just for drinks here. As great as their coffees are, their royal artichoke tea is great as are the milk teas and smoothies (spicy mango!) refreshing and quality drinks that you can adjust ice and sweet levels. And they all come with optional boba for free! They even have a stamp reward card but their prices are already so reasonable! Man I am already missing and craving this place constantly. read more

This place needs to be changed to "Long Faced Employee Coffee". Don't people believe in smiling anymore? instead. I guess if you are the busiest Boba place around Bel-Air, you don't have to hire spunky or happy employees. We came here on a Monday and it was still semi busy and wanted to order some boba, surprise! How does a Boba Place run out of boba at 7 at night? I guess I will try my luck and go to Popeye's Chicken hopefully they don't run out of chicken I f you know what I mean. Even as slow as it was you could pretty much hope that the health department doesn't run in there because of all the dirty tables and sticky floors, I would hate to see what the kitchen looks like..... wait a minute, in fact if you are standing at the right angle where you pick up the drinks you'll get to see what is going on in the back like the man in the ice bin picking up the ice scoop and dumping the ice in people's drinks. This place is always always busy as you pass by to eat at the restaurant in the parking lot and I've always wondered what the draw was. I don't get it Check please! We gingerly walked out I went to the Boba place across the parking lot that actually had Boba. read more

The popcorn chicken is a bag of Asian style nuggets that are tender and crunchy at the same time. The spicy and dip added makes it addictive to eat. The cafe is very small and it gets congested because foot traffic here is crazy. The counter is FULL of workers running back and forth to fill orders, and sometimes I cannot hear myself talking when I'm ordering or asking a question. The cafe offers a variety of drinks and some other appetizers as well, but the popcorn chicken is a must buy. read more

I love that long coffee has a drive through! Just be aware that on weekends it could get busy so the drive through line can be awkwardly blocking the entrance way. My favorites here are the jasmine oolong milk tea with herbal jelly and the royal artichoke (if you're craving something refreshing!) I normally only go here for drinks but they do offer snacks like banh mi and popcorn chicken. Remember to put in your phone number to accumulate points so you can get a free drink later on! read more

Great coffee place in Bellaire that was definitely popping. PARKING: huge lot in this area, circle a few times and you'll definitely find a place SERVICE: efficient and quick DRINKS: I got the mango milk tea with boba with 50% sweetness. It was really refreshing with sweet, soft boba. I also tried the artichoke drink which was refreshing with jujubes, basil seeds, and other interesting toppings. AMBIANCE: a very cool place with lots of outdoor seating. Tons of families milling around on a Sunday afternoon. read more

It's not hard to see that Long Coffee has a stronghold in the Bellaire bubble of boba shops. They're busy all the time and easily have some of the most interesting variety I've seen in the south; they're truly one of the best the city has to offer. For starters, they might have the largest menu I've ever seen for a beverage establishment, let alone a boba cafe or coffee spot. They have awesome flavors for each of their iced teas, flavored milk teas, coffee, smoothies, fruit slush, and icys. The best part? All the drinks are under $4. In terms of what I like, it's hard to narrow it down to a favorite drink. Here's a few I enjoy: café sua da (Viet Iced Coffee), pineapple delight smoothie, strawberry mango, matcha green tea snow, horchata, and mixed berry slush. There's a plenty of flavors I'd still love to try. They also have a drive thru window, outdoor seating, and a really impressive crew of people working behind the counter to ensure drinks come out timely. I do long for more seating on the inside but everything they've done so far merits a big 5 stars. read more

Accepts Credit Cards (I believe there's a minimum) Convenient for a Drive Thru...but sometimes lines are ridiculous because some people don't know their turn or blocking traffic. They accept orders of the phone, you can pick up inside or Drive Thru. Drive Thru you can't order other food items, you can only order over phone or inside. The Alfredo Pasta is pretty good My favorite is the Royal Artichoke no boba. I recently ordered their Milk teas with boba. Boba is not fresh and so dense, not chewy. read more

I love this place. We looked for good bubble tea and smoothies In Houston and we're recommended this place, by many people and Yelp! When we came, we ordered a lot of drinks. There's a variety of drinks you can choose and a lot of toppings and a variety of drink flavors! I liked that the fruit smoothies I chose tasted like the actual fruit. It was refreshing and delicious! I absolutely loved the avocado and taro drinks that I got. The fresh fruit teas were also delicious and you can mix and match different toppings to get a truly unique drink. I recommend this place if you're looking for good refreshments, a chill atmosphere, and a good place to chill out with friends. A great place for small groups, a casual date, bubble tea, and various drinks! There's plenty of parking around the plaza, but not a lot of parking spots around the building itself. The parking lot is usually filled and rarely empty. read more

Long Coffee - Frozen Cafe Sua Da - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

There once was a Starbucks who tried their hand here but little did they know Starbucks was no match for Cafe Sua Da in Asian Chinatown! The majority of those who frequent this area are Vietnamese, who heavily favor the stronger and more powerfully sweet (thanks to rich, thick, condensed milk) Vietnamese coffee, did not patronize SBux as anticipated... forcing Sbux to actually shut down operations and move the heck out of dodge. In comes an eager, business saavy Asian entrepreneur who took the shell and some of the elements of the former store and transformed it into what now is probably the most highest grossing beverage place in town! Smoothies, dessert drinks, Banh Mi, Cafe Sua Da all can be had here and all very good. I could not believe how they could cram all ten employees in and also be able to keep organized the drink line in-store and also that often back-up drive thru area! Advice: park in the exterior lot and walk in or you will be sorry! Thumbs up here. read more

Love the various selection of drinks. Their selection contains slushy, snow smoothie, flavored Iced teas, flavored fruit teas, coffee and many many more! They also have a small selection of pastries + food. Food: my favorite is the spicy chicken nuggets. You can choose the level of how spicy you want it. Drink: My favorite is the Jasmine Milk Tea. I love how you can choose the level of sugar and if you don't want too much ice... just tell them! They don't mind putting less ice. Also, if you want to save your drink and do not want the drink become watery because of the melted ice, you can asks them no ice and fill the cup up too the top for $1.00 extra. Con: Sometime drive thru is really congested. The line inside is out the door. No seatings or no chairs at tables. read more

Oh man.. I got so many reccomendations from friends but maybe I just ordered wrong cause my drinks were gross.. Wanted to try the durian avocado smoothie but it was just wayy too pungent and tasted like old durians or something cause it was SO bad. My smoothie I got strawberry mango was so powdery and not too good and somehow slightly sour or something. Had a bad aftertaste. Next time I am in houston I need to try the fruit teas or slushies or coffee instead. So far my first impression.. not good. Dont get smoothies that's for sure read more
