    Awesome Lego collection!
    Steven D.

    Delicious drinks and super cool interior designing! Love the vibe there and the service there was amazing. Got to chat with the owner for a little bit and she was super nice! Will definitely come back!

    Decorations on the counter!

    I LOVE this little Shop to get my Banh Mi and my tea! It is so clean and well decorated!!!! Customer service is amazing and the sandwiches are delicious! Everytime I get my hair done at Alan Murphy Salon, I come here for a treat!!!

    This evening was my Second Visit to Pandan Leaf in two days. Unheard of for me! Our dinner tonight solidified what a hidden gem this place truly is to the Northside. So much so, I'd prefer to keep it to myself, but I'd be remise if I don't spread the love and good food. Fresh, Hot, and particularly spiced. A perfect takeout spot in my opinion. Show them some support! Nonetheless, it was odd that they gave me more peanut sauce the day before with one order and today I ordered two orders of the same and PL cut the sauce in half. Got to stay consistent Pandan Leaf...it builds trust with your customers and they'll feel comfortable about not checking the tightly sealed bag until they get home, so be consistent. My respect and recommendation stands! This eatery is a must!

    Spicy popcorn chicken & taro milk tea with boba
    Yen T.

    Neat cafe to relax, study, or chat with friends. Occasionally, I'd visit to try new drinks and always get their spicy popcorn chicken. This time, I ordered a taro milk tea with boba. I enjoyed my drink, it has a rich nutty flavor and sweetness. The consistency of tapioca pearls were nice and chewy. Popcorn chicken, Taiwanese style I really love how they fry it. Fragrant from the basil leaves and spices, served with a sweet chili sauce. Always served piping hot, it's amazing! Kind staff and quick service!

    Left Paradise Right Tropix dessert drinks
    Sophia N.

    Came here in the evening and was greeted by a sincere girl at the cash register. This was our first time here and the girl helped us choose on what dessert drink to order. I had the paradise drink which is the only drink that is coconut water instead of coconut milk. I asked if I could substitute it for coconut milk instead and she insisted not to. I'm glad she did because it was the perfect dessert. My daughter ordered the tropix drink and the pandan waffle. We really enjoyed everything here. Now I'm curious what else on the menu is good.

    Tropix

    Hadn't been here in years, but nothing has really changed. They still make bomb dessert drinks. I always ordered the Tropix and it still tastes amazing! I also used to get banh mi and boba drinks here, and they were always consistent in taste. Not sure if it's the same owners, but they were always friendly when my husband would pick up food. The Pandan Special is another good choice if you're ordering a dessert drink. This is one of the places I miss about living in Spring. Definitely need to come more whenever I'm in the area and highly recommend giving it

    Taro French Fries
    Nicole A.

    The interior ambiance is both relaxing and chill to sit down over a snack and delicious boba drinks! The taro milk tea was so delicious, the right amount if sweetness. Their fries and chicken are perfect, hot and crispy fresh(their portion sizes are wonderful)- I could not get enough of the food. The staff are friendly and provide perfect service. It was so fun to see built lego models decorated by the register- it made the space feel so personal for the business. 10/10

    I love this cute place. Food is perfect size and the right price. I also like the fact that it's not very crowded and noisy. Love the fish tanks!

    BBQ Pork Banh Mi
    Sarai M.

    The place here is such a sight to see. The decorations are great from the calming fish tanks to the wonderfully places Lego creations on shelves. I've read on here that the manager or owner was rude to them. I'm not sure if I talked to the manager when I was there but I'm sure I did and he was a very straight forward man, but not rude to me. He politely answered all my questions. Now to the best part, the food! I ordered the BBQ Pork Banh mi along with a strawberry tea with mango popping boba. The tea that I drank wasn't picture because it was so good that I drank it almost all before I knew it. The Banh mi was just as good! From the fresh crunchy toasted French bread to the delicious meat and vegetables in it! Will definitely be coming back again.

    Brown sugar milk tea.  With a little boba. I don't like too much boba in my tea.  Yummy!
    lori s.

    Stopped in after my run to GNC. I was craving some brown sugar milk tea (A craving I've been having so I'm trying different ones). One thing I like about coming here is the service. It's fast. Someone up front taking the order and the back brining it out quick and perfectly. I only wanted about half of a regular order of boba and it was made exactly how I wanted. The only communication between front and back looks to be the computer, and they always get it right. It's a cute little place to get your teas etc and a bite to eat.

    Katie Y.

    My partner and I always enjoy coming here. It seems like the menu has changed a little compared to their website, but most items have stayed the same. There's a lot of unique decor, including the moss wall, Legos, a fish tank, framed jerseys, and more. The service is very kind and casual. We ordered the pineapple fusion tea and lychee fusion tea, which was very refreshing.

    10x better than pandan but if you want the best go to Bellaire !!!
    Roxanne L.

    Horrible service! As I was waiting for my drinks to be made the owner approached me and was questioning if I was going to spend more money on any other product?! Excuse me?! On top of it all the drinks are chalky and boba is hard! Honestly even basic Sharetea is 10 x better. DO NOT spend your hard earned money here! Go support the nice people on bellaire instead!

    beef banh mi, wintermelon tea with boba, strawberry lemonade with boba

    this place is so cute!! we both got the beef bbq banh mi, and it was so good. we loved it so much that we ordered the egg banh mi to go for later. my friend ordered the strawberry lemonade with boba and i got the winter melon tea with boba, and both were very tasty. highly recommend!! i'm excited to come back here when i'm in the area

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

    The desserts here are fun, unique, and very different from what you find at most places. My only…read morecomplaint is the lack of labeling for many of the products. For example, with the Turkish delights and ice cream selections, only a few items are labeled. For most of them, you have to guess the flavor or ingredients. When I asked questions, there was a language barrier, and the staff member behind the counter was unable to clearly explain what the items were in English. This can be especially frustrating for customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions. In the U.S., I would expect all flavors and ingredients to be clearly labeled so customers can make informed choices. Even if staff members are not fluent in English, having accurate labels for flavors and ingredients would greatly improve the customer experience. The desserts themselves are excellent, but better product labeling would make the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

This is not a place you go to just have lunch or something.This place is an experience. Some adults might find joy in here (like I do), but my children definitely did, and that's worth it. They came here with the same excitement that they had for disneyland so I'm really happy about that. We all liked the harry potter experience and some different anime type experiences as well that my children liked. The foods and drinks are on theme and although it's not cheap, it's definitely not as much as Disneyland. We came on the weekends, but during lunchtime, and I can see how they might be really busy during the dinner rush. Sometimes you might need a timed entry to go in, but thankfully, we have not since we've been going. I will say that it's quite small and gets cramped really fast.

We ordered the Totoro Taiyaki which was filled with Ube custard & served with a scoop of ice cream of our choice. Our order was prepared promptly, and we enjoyed our dessert while watching some clips of Ghibli movies and trivia videos. The experience was adorable and interactive, and I'm looking forward to seeing what other themed cafe's Popfancy pulls off next!

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by.

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

The customer service was great and prices were really good. Now to the items, the ube bread is phenomenal, soft, sweet, flavorful 10/10.

Since we were already in the area after breakfast at TJ's Filipino Cuisine, we finally got the chance to stop by and try their baked goods for ourselves. We arrived early, so the bakery wasn't too busy yet. The bakers were busy prepping more goodies in the back while my cousin and I browsed all the Filipino baked goods we really miss from back home in the Philippines. They even had suman, sapin-sapin, biko, and other kakanin, which was nice to see. I specifically looked for the chicken empanada, and my cousin wanted to try the ube white chocolate chip cookie. We also saw different kinds of siopao and planned to come back later to buy some before heading back to San Antonio. We tried the ube white chocolate chip cookie first, but honestly we weren't totally satisfied. It tasted more like a regular white chocolate chip cookie with purple coloring and didn't really have much ube flavor. I also tried the chicken empanada. My cousin didn't like it because it was sweeter than expected--we were both expecting it to be savory. There seemed to be caramelized sugar in the outside of the pastry, which probably added to the sweetness. I still like it, though it was definitely sweeter than what I'm used to. Red Ribbon's chicken empanada is still my favorite. Later that day before leaving Houston, we came back for the siopao we planned to take home. We finally decided to just buy a couple pieces for ourselves, heat them up in the bakery, and try them fresh. When we saw the price for a four-pack, we were honestly disappointed. It felt expensive for the size. The siopao wasn't huge, and while I like the dough, there wasn't much chicken filling inside. For the portion, taste, and quality, it felt overpriced. Overall, it's probably not worth making another trip back for us. We did enjoy the cassava ube suman, and I like the chicken empanada, but not enough to drive all the way to Houston just for those. If I live nearby, I might come back to try other baked goods, but based on this visit, I'm not sure the rest would impress my palate. I still give them credit for cleanliness and customer service, although we did notice fruit flies on one of the shelves and reported it. The staff was friendly, and the bakery itself was welcoming. At the end of the day, since they're a bakery, the expectation is great-tasting, quality, mouthwatering Filipino breads, pastries ", and kakanin. While some items were enjoyable, overall it just didn't quite live up to the hype for us.
