    12. Pandon, Coconut Waffle
    Lena S.

    So I haven't tried their drinks yet, but I had to leave a review for their pandan coconut waffles. I'm obsessed with anything pandan, so when I found out they had them, I had to stop by. This is my third time now, and they've been amazing every time. The waffle is like a perfect mix between a pancake and a waffle. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. It's made fresh and served warm, and the flavor is spot on. It's slightly sweet with that rich coconut and pandan taste that just works. They also have other flavors like durian and taro if you're into trying something different. I'll definitely be back to try the drinks, but honestly, these waffles alone are worth the trip.

    We made a trip out to Houston and were craving a sweet treat before heading back home. This was fairly close to where we were hanging out and the shop name sounded so fun! We were greeted right away and the cashier was super patient with us. The menu was fairly extensive and had other drink options besides sugar cane. I went with the original sugar cane drink and my cousin got the calamansi sugar cane drink. It was super cool how we were able to see them make the drinks out of fresh sugar cane. The drinks were super refreshing and not overly sweet! I would recommend the calamansi version of the sugar cane based on personal preference. The citrus added a nice flavor profile to the drink. I would 100% recommend to try this spot out. Theres plenty of seating areas to enjoy the drinks as well.

    Mama Mia always delivers on taste ! Quick service and plenty of seating options, never too busy. Recommend the pandan waffles and sugarcane juice! I've tried durian, passion fruit, and original. Personally not a fan of the seeds and the durian was a little strong for me, but would recommend the original.

    Sugar cane juice is always good, but I love that this spot has different flavors. My husband and I shared: - Passion Fruit Sugarcane Drink - Mama Mía Special Sugarcane Drink - Multi Mochi Waffle (Pandan, Taro, Durian) The passion fruit one was my favorite. I loved the flavor combination. The special seemed like regular juice with fruit in it and was hard to drink since the fruit didn't fit through the straw. The mochi waffle was delicious. The Pandan was my favorite flavor.

    Sugar cane juice.
    Jenny G.

    Absolutely refreshing. A 12 oz sugar cane juice for $6. Totally worth it. It was sweet and had a lot of ice so dint drink it too quickly so the ice can blend with the juice. Definitely worth a stop.

    The Vietnamese community in Houston is so significant that there are multiple places that serve nuoc mia, a sugar cane drink usually served over ice. One of the most popular destinations is Mama Mia, who saw an opportunity and ran with it. Through many visits, it has become a go-to destination for whenever I'm Bellaire Asiatown. I appreciate that this location is bright, clean and inviting enough to have a local crowd here at all hours. There's parking a plenty, clean bathrooms, and a simple menu consisting of multiple combinations of sugarcane juice and different mochi waffle combinations. The drinks don't come cheap, as many of them are in the $7 range, but they're all satisfying and a quality beverage to quell the Houston heat. Additionally, I appreciate the staff. They've rarely steered me wrong and have been giving off the family-operated vibes as long as I've come here. Their extraction of the sugar cane takes a bit of time, since everything is made from scratch. Almost all flavors I've had from kumquat to coconut have been refreshing, but I have a particular love for their pennywort and salted lime (chanh muoi) sugar cane drink. Their most expensive drink ($8 for small, $9 for large) is the Mama Mia Special, which includes all the fruits. It's hefty and requires a spoon to get all the fruit bits out. It's a bit of a meal and fun for others who enjoy the scoop and sip experience, but I'm one to stick to something simple. The regular nuoc mia is basic, but still ends up being my overall favorite for its simplicity and sweet notes. Whether one is new to the the sugarcane experience or a seasoned vet with the nuoc mia life, Mama Mia is definitely worth a visit and the subsequent sugar rush. Since my first experience, they've already expanded to West U and San Antonio as well as the OC (#1), so I expect to see big things from their brand in the near future. __________ (#1) Franchise mode activated.

    Sugarcane Juice and Combo Waffle
    Lily L.

    Love their huge and chewy waffles! It is what's calling me to come back. I've always ordered the combo one that has durian, taro, and pandan so I can eat a bit of every flavor. Even though they raised the price a little but for the size of the waffle I got, I think it's still really good and worth. Waffle is not too sweet, the flavors are light but they got coconut bits mixed so I love that. A really cute and clean shop, workers are really friendly, may not able to speak english fluently but just point at the menu and smile and nod haha.

    Pure sugarcane
    Victor N.

    The sugarcane was interesting, not very sweet and tasted a bit salty. The store was very nice, clean and the service was good! I think they may have just had a bad batch of sugarcane when I came in.

    Sugarcane ($6.00)
    Han L.

    Highlight: Sugarcane ($6.00) I've been coming to this location for at least 4 years now and the quality has been consistent and tasty. This past week for the 3 different times I have visited, the drink tasted more on the thicker side like the cane might have been too ripe with a hint of saltiness. Though this didn't meet my expectations, I am open to giving it another try in the future. Hospitality: Fast service, got my drink within minutes of ordering. Honorable Mention: Cute and small shop with great wallpapers for photo opportunities.

    I love this place!!! The Coco Mia is my all time fav. The drinks are made fresh to order and are quick to come out as well!! The service is always so nice to us. Welcoming ambiance!

    sugarcane juice!
    Queenie H.

    Incredibly fresh and refreshing sugar cane juice!! Although it took about 20 minutes to receive our order, the outcome was worth the wait. I got the plain sugar cane juice had a bite of their pandan waffle. The waffle had a doughy center like it was still underbaked but that's just the texture of it. Pretty good waffle too!

    Hi there, Mama Mia! It is my first time trying Mama Mia this weekend in Bellaire and wow, I am hooked. I love sugar cane drinks (so much passion for it) and this is definitely the place to go to in the Houston area. In this trip we got OG Mia, coconut, and the classic Mia. My favorite is OG as it has the kumquat flavor. We also ordered the pandan, taro, and durian waffles (however it was not pictured as my crew ate it so fast). The ambiance was super cute and service is quick and friendly. Don't walk, run here for a refreshing drink that will rock your socks!

    Pineapple sugarcane is delicious, should try it guys ... super fresh

The service here is fairly quick for the amount of people that are here. It is always packed but the wait time is no more than 10 minutes. We will always order the strawberry and mango shaved ice with 2 scoops of matcha ice cream. The fruit is fresh (there's crates and crates of mangoes in the hallway). Sometimes the strawberries are a bit sour since they aren't in season, but the condensed milk helps balance it out. The matcha ice cream here is sooooooo good. This combination will hit every single time. 100/10 We did try their flan and we werent the biggest fans. Not sure if their flan is different than mexican traditional flan, but theirs seemed to be grainy and the flavor profile was off. We wouldn't order this again, but try it for yourself! Overall: 10/10

They have a self-service kiosk at the front where you can place your order, or you can order directly with the cashier. Since we had a large group, we ordered several desserts to share. When our name was called, we went to pick up our order, but only about a third of the items were on the counter. We asked if it was our complete order since we were still missing several items. Unfortunately, the employee responded with a rude attitude and simply told us they would call our name again. Despite that interaction, I enjoyed the desserts, especially the fresh fruit, which tasted high-quality and refreshing. The food itself was good, but the customer service could definitely be improved.

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!

You order at the counter and the server will bring the food out to you. We got chicken and waffle & chicken and pancake, French toast with side of scrambled eggs, and an iced lavender latte and English breakfast hot tea. The food & drinks quickly came out, which is always greatly appreciated when dining with kids. The chicken was a generous portion and juicy. The butter had a unique flavor and paired well with the chicken. The pancake and waffle were also big portions. The latte was sweet and well balanced. The manager came around checking on us and was very attentive when I needed to request an extra cup of hot water for our tea. The floral wall decor and light fixture gives such a cozy vibe. Service was top notch and friendly! We definitely will consider coming back soon again.

Portions are large/filling and we felt the food was delicious and a good value for money. When we arrived the line was long and menus were not available so we had to search for the menu on the website to avoid deciding at the counter and holding up the people behind us. After ordering, tables were cleaned consistently and service was friendly. Only feedback about seating was outside parties would take chairs from other tables and leave them with no seating and not all tables we're shaded. The drinks being available at the bar when it is busy and then food being delivered to the table was a bit clunky. I picked up water and utensils for our party before sitting and would have preferred to have to pick everything up at the counter or have everything brought to the table to avoid multiple trips around when the restaurant is busy.
