    Super excited about more boba spots opening up in Midtown! R&B Tea is a local chain serving all the usual boba favorites, but what really stood out to me was their small selection of Vietnamese coffee drinks. I tried the sea salt Vietnamese coffee and it was so good--strong, smooth, and perfectly balanced. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try their egg coffee next. The shop itself is really nice inside, the decor is clean and modern, and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. Bonus points for plenty of parking too, which is always a win in this area. If you're craving boba, matcha, or Vietnamese coffee, definitely check them out!

    We finally decided to try R&B Tea since it is closer to our apartment. The vibe from the staff was very off putting and when we asked questions because it was our first time it felt like we were bothering them. There was a total of 8 customers 4 of which was my family and the drinks took forever to be served. My drink did not taste good and I ended up throwing it away.

    It's good! Same quality as other locations. The employee was very nice. Greeted me when I entered. The inside is very clean and modern. Great place to meet up with people. My drink was great. No complaints.

    Solid newer boba spot in the area. Super clean interior and it was a one woman job as far as staffing goes. Their menu is a bit large and is reminiscent of Feng Cha. I got their taro storm drink with no sugar and it was still a bit too sweet with the toppings. Overall flavor was good and it'll be interesting to try out their more traditional drinks, but seems like you will need to dial down the sweetness and ice for maximum effect.

    Tried the avocado smoothie at R&B Tea House Midtown - super creamy, smooth, and not too sweet. Will definitely order again!

    Tried the avocado smoothie at R&B Tea House Midtown - super creamy, smooth, and not too sweet. You can really taste the fresh avocado. Refreshing and satisfying. Will definitely order again!

    So glad to hear that one recently opened up in Houston. Would LOVE to take my cousins here one day…read more Environment/Atmosphere - Super crowded when we got here, but the lines moved fast, and there was a kiosk to self-order if you didn't want to wait in line for the cashier. One of my favorite things was how fragrant the space smelled while I waited for my boba. You could tell there was an exceptional tea aroma lingering despite all the cream and sweetness. The place was exceptionally clean for being so busy, and the workers consistently cleaned as they made the drinks, so you knew you could trust the sanitation here. Drink Design - I have to make a separate comment on how CUTE these drinks were. I loved the intentional sticker placement over the lips and the little carrying handle. You could tell they went the extra mile to make these drinks not just flavorful, but an experience in and of themselves. Even their receipt paper felt luxurious. That sounds ridiculous to point out, but the thought behind every aspect of this place is impeccable. High Mountain Pouchong Tea w. Lemon Juice & Mousse (Creamy Lemon Tart) - After all the sugar I had today, this lemony drink hit the spot with its perfect tartness. The cream had bits of lemon zest in it, adding to the aroma. I tried to adjust the sweetness when I ordered and was told it had a built-in sweetness, but if I found it too sweet, they would happily switch it out for another drink. I felt like I was dealing with Amazon's generous return policy--and luckily, the drink was perfect, so no return was needed! Creamy Mango Tart - Literally like the Lemon Tart, but mango. I loved this just as much and really enjoyed the refreshing flavors of BOTH tarts. Instantly a fan favorite. Dong Ding Oolong Tea w. Fresh Milk - Very mild and creamy, almost like a mellow latte. Not my favorite because it was a bit too creamy after everything else I had today. Still, I loved the tea profile and can absolutely see why others would love it. Overall, I love, love, LOVE this place. 1000/10. From the experience to the quality and intentionality behind every little detail, I couldn't be happier with my visit. I never thought I'd ever say that a drink was so Instagram-worthy, but these drinks were beautiful--like models of the boba world. Would go back in a heartbeat. This has officially won the spot for my favorite boba place.

    The name of this restaurant is very confusing. I see ChiCha San Chen 吃茶三千 on the building. But why…read more"eat tea 3000"? I don't see any differences from other teahouses. They only serve teas and contrary to next door Trung Nguyen has only coffees. I ordered Ôsmanthus Oolong Tea with no sugar and added konjac sinkers. The tea was fragrant but kind of weak. Maybe I'll come back to sample the teas on weekends.

Parking situation is subpar in their large parking lot, one of the downsides of this plaza. It's always a pain parking to visit any restaurants in between Yale and Heights. Anyways, the interior is fairly clean and modern, the menu is small and concise and the staff of two worked hard to get drinks made quickly. I enjoyed my matcha brown sugar drink (with boba and matcha pudding). The boba had really nice texture and the matcha was also fairly heavy. I got oat milk with mine, which is nice that they're not using whole milk or milk powder. Most of the drinks are in the $6-7 range, which again is fairly standard for the nicer boba spots. It's a nice boba tea option for the Heights!

I got the brown sugar boba creme burlee milk, which was pretty tasty, it comes with boba and creme brulee, which is a nice custard. Big fan of the boba, just the right level of chewiness. Bonus is the option of oat and soy milk in addition to organic milk. I can attest to them handwhisking the matcha, and they measure out the proportions to get it right each time. Definitely worth giving them a shot and supporting local, plus for the next 1-2 months they're doing 50% off (physical coupon needed for December, just pick one up!)

    The thing that stands out about Ting Tea for me is how fragrant the tea is. I like how they…read moreincorporate the tea into most of their drinks like the mango sago slush! You'd expect the mango slush to be typical, but it has a nice underlying jasmine tea flavor with small bits of diced fresh mango, sago, and (grapefruit? bits). The texture is great and portions are large! One thing: I wish it had more of the textural mix-ins. I also tried the jasmine milk tea as a baseline. It's fragrant and yummy. However, I most likely wouldn't get it again because it's not too overly special. It's good but for $8+ I'd rather order their other menu items. Service at first was quite slow, but now it's not too bad. They only have two ordering POS (the kiosk and one person), so the line is mainly to order. I see online orders are popular too, so you could order online to skip the wait. It's a cute space with seating, wifi, and restrooms. Good for hanging out, def not a place to do work since it's quite busy and loud. I'd come back to try other drinks!

    I must say I was a little disappointed in my bubble tea I ordered from Ting Tea…read more I asked about the Yumi Bobo tea and was told it was taro tea with taro paste but it was not taro flavored tea. It tasted floral like Jazmine or something but definitely not taro. I could taste the taro paste but there was very little of it and very few tapioca balls. Like maybe 10 if I had to guess lol. This drink was not worth $7 as it was mostly milk. I understand the "fresh milk" drinks are mostly milk but this just didn't have the flavor that I was thinking it would have since there was very little tea, taro paste and tapioca balls. I'm definitely willing to try again because what I did taste of the floral tea was pretty good and they have some other interesting drinks I'd like to try. Maybe that one was just off. Nice interior!
