I've been to Molly Tea in California and Washington, so when i heard they were coming to Houston I was super excited. You would enjoy Molly Tea if you like strong, herbal tea flavors. If you like sweet drinks... this is most likely not up your alley. I believe the drinks come at an automatic 70% sweetness... and the 70% here is equivalent to 30%-50% sweetness elsewhere. The jasmine teas are my favorite, they are very floral/tea-forward. Perfect for tea-lovers. My go-tos would be the Snowy Jasmine and the Premium Jasmine Matcha. This location does tend to be very busy, but keep in mind you have 3 place to order: at the counter or the 2 kiosks. To skip the crowd/line. You can also order ahead on ChowBus.

So glad there is now a Molly Tea here. I love that the orders come with less ice and 70% sugar which is usually how I order boba. I got their most popular drink, the premium jasmine milk tea. There was so much fragrance and floral flavor; I understand why it's so popular! I went around 5:30pm on a weekday night so the lines weren't crowded then. But expect crowds and lines now that they've had their grand opening. Staff were super efficient! I'll have to come back to try their other drinks.

This place incorporates jasmine & other florals into their drinks. Highly recommend drinking their drinks with their special straw. It allows you to slowly enjoy all the flavors of the drink. Even though it was busy & crowded, the service was very efficient. The space is more like a grab & go when it gets busy especially during the weekend. There's a couple seating against the wall. The premium jasmine mango coconut tea was a great mixture of mango & jasmine. I can't really taste the coconut tho. The premium jasmine matcha milk tea was so creamy. It had a good matcha & jasmine flavor; very balanced. Overall, the drinks here were so good! I can't wait to try their other drinks in the future.

Came for the grand opening and while the line was long, I could tell that they were doing their best to get our drinks out as fast as they could! This tea is very very floral, definitely not what I'm used to, but we're still good even though it is not my most suited taste for tea. I really love the decor inside and it's cool that they give your drinks in an insulated bag!

They didn't have my Camelia Matcha anymore :( Anyway, this time I tried a lot of their new drinks: White Champaca Milk Tea, Matcha Jasmine Salted Cheese, Tongmu Lapsang Salted Cheese Milk Tea, and Premium Jasmine Mango Coconut Tea. Out of all of those drinks, only the white champaca milk tea (in the black cup) was great, everything else was okay. The white champaca milk tea was made with green tea and oat milk, and the tea flavor was strong which I really like (better than their Jasmine milk tea in my opinion). The mango coconut tea was alright, it was only good for the first few sips (I think HeyTea does fruity drinks better). The tongmu lapsang milk tea was okay, it tasted pretty bland to me. Lastly, the matcha jasmine drink was decent, better than the last two drinks. Overall, only the white champaca one was good. Not sure why Molly Tea is so hyped even though only a few drinks from them are good, most of the drinks are so bland.

Great location and great service. The drinks were strong and refreshing. I would say the Apple Jasmine Milk Tea had a refreshing yet fruity taste which is light and perfect for the summer. The jasmine flavor was still there but not overpowering and kind of had a yogurt flavor as well. The premium jasmine milk tea had a stronger jasmine flavor which was pleasant and rich. It was a little heavier than the fruity drink but overall a great milk tea. The interior was clean and pretty well spaced. Would be a great spot to stop by after a meal in chinatown.

I knew this place opened a couple months back but I had no interest in coming. I figured it was just another boba place and with it being all the way in Chinatown, the laziness in me was like "yeah, no." My friend swears by Molly Tea and it's actually his one of his favorites in Houston. So, naturally he took me. He told me it gets busy, especially since it's the weekend and whatnot. I didn't think it'd be too bad...Until I walked in and realized the venue was actually a lot bigger than what looks like from the ouside. Ordering wasn't bad, just one person ahead using the kiosk to order. But, waiting for the drinks to be done was a different story. I think it beats the record for me as I have never waited that long for boba. I didn't necessary time it per say, but I'd say it was at least a 20-30 minute wait. We ordered the Premium Jasmine Milk Tea, and my goodness-- it was life changing. Lowkey my friend was worried I wouldn't like it. So in my mind, I was freaking out as well as I don't want to disappoint them and I'm also not going to lie if I actually do not like it. But, everything worked out because I actually did like it. You can definitely smell/taste the Jasmine, without it being too overwhelming. Unlike most boba places, where everything is a default of normal ice and 100% sugar; the default for this drink was less ice and 70% sugar. It was literally perfect. Just the right amount in my opinion. It was also a nice surprise to get a little cute free blind bag when we got our drinks. My friend converted me and I 100% will be a returning customer.

Molly Tea is my favorite boba shop right now. I honestly think it'll be hard to beat. It's not too sweet, yet it's so fragrant. The tea flavor is strong, exactly what I am looking for. Yes, the hype is real. Believe it. The Pistachio Jasmine Coco is sent favorite right now. The line goes fast when ordering, and it doesn't take too long to get your drinks. At the beginning, it would take forever, but they've improved.

Cute and aesthetically pleasing spot with a nice amount of seating, but it gets crowded very quickly. The space is a bit narrow, especially near the entrance, so when there's a line it piles up fast and they definitely get busy. A tip I saw from other reviews was to order on the app, and I'm so glad I did. I placed my order before they even opened and scheduled a pickup time, which saved a ton of time because the line was huge when we got there. I'd recommend ordering at least 30 minutes ahead with how popular this place is. Also, parking can be tough since it's a shared lot in a busy complex. Customer service was also good. Friendly staff. The drinks were great. The quality really stands out. I love jasmine tea and it definitely lived up to the hype in both taste and quality. A couple small issues though - my husband's drink was missing the boba in his drink and I asked for less ice but got no ice. I just added some at home. Overall, we had a good experience here and it's a place I'd come back to when in the area.

Amazing drinks! The jasmine apple milk tea was a really unique combination that I haven't gotten elsewhere before. Would definitely get again. The matcha was also really good! And I love how they use floral flavors in so many drinks. Service was also amazing. The workers were all so nice and helpful. The one thing is that it was quite crowded in there because we went on a Sunday afternoon. But glad to see the business is doing so well! The workers were still really helpful, and we got our drinks very fast. They had a really cool organization system to keep track of all the drinks being made at the same time. The shop also has such a cute brand and aesthetic in there. I will definitely return to try more!

Molly Tea is located in the Dun Huang center only a few doors down from Kung Fu Tea. Well lit, a decent sized place, and some tables to hang out. I honestly don't know much about the chain other than they're from mainland China so this is coming from that perspective. There wasn't too much of a line on a Saturday afternoon. I got the: WHITE CHAMPACA OOLONG MILK TEA (less ice, 70% sugar, sago added): it's a very nice tea that came through the milk. A good choice for milk tea. It didn't wow me, but I also definitely wouldn't say no to round two. MATCHA WHITE CHAMPACA SALTED CHEESE (less ice, 70% sugar, sago added): I wanted a surprise and asked the cashier to surprise me and she picked this one. I do like matcha and this one was a pretty good one! There was a good balance between oolong, matcha, and cheese topping and I marginally liked this more only because it stood out in comparison. I haven't had a matcha latte that included another tea before. I don't think this visit gave me the best feel for the place, especially with the sheer amount of boba places in the area, so I will probably return to Molly Tea to try other drinks to get a better idea on if they get two thumbs up or only one. A solid place overall!

All the haters that complain about the wait time gotta get the app lol. My friends in nyc had proclaimed this place as the best in New York amidst hundreds of boba shops, so I knew to be hyped when this came to Houston. Molly separates itself from the pack with its superior tea flavor. You have to let the first sip sit in your mouth as it covers your taste buds. Enjoy the floral fragrance of white champaca, jasmine, or dancong. You won't regret it!

I was so excited to try Molly tea after hearing all the hype and I'm happy to say that it definitely lives up to it. I got the premium jasmine milk tea, 70% sweet as they recommended and I loved it! So refreshing and fragrant jasmine flavor. (10/10) The staff is also super friendly and even when there is a line it moved pretty quickly. There is some seating and the interior is very well decorated and clean because it is brand new. I can't wait to try the snowy jasmine next!
