Found this treasure in an unassuming lot in Houston's Little Saigon. Was greeted by friendly, smiling faces when I arrived. Ordered the multi waffle which comes with taro, pandan, and durian flavors delightfully swirled and is stuffed with yummy coconut chunks. Freshly made, it came out hot & crispy on the outside & chewy on the inside. It was scrumptious! I would return for the waffles alone, although next time I will probably order just the pandan as this was my favorite flavor. The OG Mia was especially refreshing after a proper bowl of pho. The tartness of the kumquat balanced the sweetness of the freshly juiced sugarcane. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a sweet treat in the area! read more

Overall: 4.4/5 Mama Mia sells Vietnamese drinks and snacks and what really stood out to us was their honesty. We were about to buy something when the lady told us not to get it because it wasn't good and they were planning to return it. She even had her staff take it off the shelf right away so no one else would pick it up. That kind of transparency is rare and we really appreciated it. The drinks took a while to come out but they make everything fresh so it was worth the wait. While we waited we checked out their crane machines and played a round. Mama Mia Special (L $9.75): Wow, this was a huge cup packed with fruit. I loved the coconut meat, jelly, and strawberry. The mango bits were not quite ripe so they were a bit sour but everything else made up for it. Matcha Mia (L $8): Yum, delicious and easy to drink. I actually liked this one more than the special since it combines sugarcane and coconut juice and just works really well together. Multi Flavor Waffle ($5.75): Comes with three flavors, pandan, durian, and taro. It was so good. I loved the pandan the most. I am not usually a fan of durian but I tried it and you can really taste it in there. The taro was the most subtle but still really good. read more

Delicious, fast, friendly service! The sugarcane juice (also flavored with a large variety of combinations) is made fresh to order and freshly pressed. Very refreshing for the summer and I pretty much downed my cup as soon as I got it Besides drinks, they also make pandan waffles. There smell is alluring and you'll be tempted as soon as you walk in. Most restaurants in this plaza are don't have an outdoors sitting arrangement and mainly focus on indoors setup. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This has been my normal go to place for sugar cane juice for the past few years. Normally it's 5 star every time. This time it has gone down hill. My large sugar cane with was sweet but also salty. At one point while making our drinks the young man making the sugar cane had his ungloved hand in the machine unclogging it, shoving it into the trash can and then proceed to return handling and pressing our sugar cane. No he did not wash his hands. The level of hygiene is bit concerning. read more

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! read more

The sugarcane here is sooo good, fresh, and clean! I'm from out of town and went back to this shop almost everyday that I was in Houston. I had the regular sugar cane, kumquat, and coconut. Out of the three, my favorite was the coconut. It had a nice balance of both sugarcane and coconut juice. read more

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! read more

So refreshing! I got the coconut sugar cane drink (8/10) : good flavor, but coconut squares were a little too hard and dry for my taste. My bf got a kumquat sugar cane drink. That doesn't sound appetizing at all, but they said it was their best seller so we tried it and ITS SOO GOOD. it taste like a limeade. Super refreshing. 10/10 Try the KUMQUAT read more

Sugarcane is probably my favorite drink of all time! Until today, nothing in America has surpassed the taste from the motherland. However, a lot of places does bring a good enough flavor for my cravings. This location is like many others. Here you can order just plain sugarcane as a starter and can add kumquat (extra$$) for the better taste. I know some people like it plain, some with coconut, others with different infusion. However, for me, the original which is sugarcane with kumquat squeezed in between is still the best! Some places will add the kumquat as a canned/bottled but some real place will place the whole kumquat in the sugarcane while it squeezes though. The second way is of course the traditional and my favorite! Not sure how this place does it since I didn't get to watch it up close. Nonetheless, it's good enough to quench your cravings and there are other drinks as well if someone doesn't like sugarcane. read more

Located in a not so busy plaza. I was craving some nuoc mia (sugar cane) drink. I heard good things about this place. When we arrived, there were only 2 guys working. I can see that the nuoc mia is made fresh. I ordered the large Nuoc mia less ice. My mom got the Rau mia large no ice. Like any other places, if you modify your ice level the drink will come out funny looking. It was sooo good and quite refreshing! Polite and fast service. Also, there was a cute tall guy working there . I would come back! read more

OG Mia ($6.25 for large) and Pandan/Durian Waffle: OG Mia is kumquat + sugarcane! Super refreshing and not suuuuper sweet. On the menu the waffles they offer are single flavor (Durian, Pandan, Taro) or all three in one. I don't like Taro so we asked if we could only have Durian + Pandan and they let us. It was yummy! Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. There were little pieces of durian inside the waffle. The shop was busy. Guess it's a popular place especially in Texas humid heat. It took 5-10 minutes for them to prepare the waffle. Would recommend for a quick snack! read more

Received a recommendation by a local houstonian to try mama mía for sugar cane juice. I ordered the sugar cane with pandan leaves, which was very refreshing! A tip is to not order the coconut juice because it doesn't seem fresh and they charge an additional dollar. I was disappointed to see them scooping out the coconut meat from the fridge, and assumed it was a fresh coconut. Service was a little slow but I think it's just important to be patient because it takes a while to prepare the sugarcane! Also, it's funny how they'll charge for less ice and extra ice. read more

Popped in for some sugarcane drinks. I tried the ginger lime sugarcane drink, and my partner went for the passion fruit version. We also had the pandon coconut waffle and taro waffle. Both had a touch of coconut and for those who aren't a fan of coconut, I promise it does not over power the flavors. The music was a great touch to the place, and the drinks were refreshing. read more

This sugarcane juice place was so good that I went back 2x and got 3 cups in a three-day period. The first time, I got the OG Mia, which was sugarcane and kumquat, and the next time, I came back for the sugarcane and passionfruit one. The OG Mia definitely was more on the sour side compared to the passionfruit, but the passionfruit had the seeds in the drink as well. All real, nothing powdered it seems. I will say it is a bit pricy with almost all the drinks being $6+ but well worth it when you're craving nước mía (or sugarcane juice). read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! They served fresh sugarcane juice and other sugarcane juice with other fruits in. It was just so fresh. The prices ranged from 6 to 8 dollars but it is reasonable since you're getting a fresh drink. They also have waffles with different flavors which we're planning on trying next time. The two men working only spoke Vietnamese but that's okay since they were really nice. The place was clean and parking was free. read more

Never had sugarcane drinks before so I decided to try here for my first! I guess I don't really have any other comparison... but the drinks were decent! The one with coconut inside was good as well. But Very sweet! The only thing is.. the drinks were almost 7 dollars per drink and I'm guessing ingredients (and sugarcane) are much more expensive compared to bubble tea... so, quite expensive! I'm not sure if this will ever replace my craving for bubble tea but it was a nice one time experience. And another, there was a piece of hair in my unopened drink but the staff was nice to quickly make me a new one... read more

I saw this place has really good reviews, so I decided to check it out. I got the OG sugar cane drink and also the kumquat sugar cane drink. I've had authentic sugar cane drinks when I lived in Vietnam, and the drinks here tasted nothing like it. Both of the drinks I ordered tasted awful like they were really watered down and barely had any flavors. I also had the Vietnamese iced coffee, which definitely had very strong coffee flavors that I like. I also bought the waffles (pandan, durian, and taro), and these have got to be the best Vietnamese waffles I've had so far in the Houston area. I'll definitely be back for more of these waffles. Their banh mi cha lua was also not bad, but I didn't expect much for the banh mi since this isn't a banh mi store. Overall, I would never be back for their sugar cane drinks, but the waffles are definitely worth it here. read more

Love this place. Saw it on yelp and really wanted to try it and it did not disappoint! I am a huge fan of sugarcane and never had anything else other than just the original. This place has different combination such as sugarcane with coconut, sugarcane with kumquat, sugarcane with passion fruit, pennywort, etc. My favorite is the sugarcane with coconut! You can taste both coconut and sugarcane, not overly sweet and just so fresh. I would definitely recommend it. I also got the pandan waffle which had shredded coconut in it which was good as well. They also have other options like durian but I am not too adventurous. The place is kind of small, I would just order for takeout. The service is okay. The cashier didn't seem too friendly. Had no smile and looked a bit unhappy the whole time but was polite. read more

Came here to get a drink after breakfast. I decided to get an OG Mia, which is sugarcane juice with kumquat. The kumquat balanced out the sweetness in the sugarcane. It is quite refreshing but it might be better if they had one where it was sugarcane juice, coconut juice, and kumquat! Even though it isn't too sweet, after drinking it for a while, it does get sweet. We got their durian waffle to try. It tasted like a sweet waffle and then there will be bits and pieces of durian that you come across. Wish it was more crispy though. It got a bit soft. Prices are a tad high for a drink though but it makes sense since they're made to order. Not so bad if you want to treat yourself once in a while. I think if this place was nearby, I would definitely pay a visit but it wouldn't be something I have to get. read more

I'm happy this place opened up. It really reminds you of home. Back in Vietnam, you'd get a freshly squeezed sugar cane drink in a bag with a straw, especially on a sweltering hot day. The moment you walk in, it smells like fresh pandan waffles and refreshing drinks. I try to make it a mission to get a drink from here. It's become a staple of my needs while I'm in the area. I always get the OG (with kumquat) or orange. Seriously a favorite. One of these days I'm going to have to try everything on the menu. The people here are so nice! It shows too cause they're passionate about what they serve. Make sure to get a stamp card! read more
