Had dinner nearby and went to Tastea afterwards for dessert. Plenty of options on the menu and friendly service!! Ordered: - sunset peach (refreshing, 75% sweetness was just right) - pandan oreo milkshake (SO GOOD) - house special coffee (to-go for next day, strong flavor!) I recommend getting drinks from here! read more

I first tried Tastea after receiving a coupon in the mail for their grand opening, and l've been back several times. Their drinks are super refreshing, and I really appreciate that they're not overly sweet like a lot of other places. The tea flavors are well-balanced, and there's a great variety to choose from, so there's always something new to try. The seasonal drinks are definitely worth checking out--they keep things interesting and are always a hit. Service has consistently been fast and friendly, which makes the experience even better. I also like that they offer both the standard 20 oz and 32 oz sizes depending on how thirsty you are. The inside has a really cute aesthetic, making it a nice spot to stop by, and there's plenty of parking available. Just keep in mind it can get a bit busy on weekends or holidays, so parking might take a little extra time. Overall, a great spot for quality tea and a quick, enjoyable visit-highly recommend! read more

Tastea - Jasmine Watermelon - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I first got introduced to Tastea at the Katy location and loved it, so I naturally had to check out their Chinatown location when I was in the area. This Tastea is located in a very busy shopping center so parking can be challenging. Pack your patience. Customer service was really good. I even got to chat with the owner while waiting on my order. My intentions were to come get a refreshing drink, but when I got there, I remembered how much I loved the Karate Chicken here. I think it's a clever name for popcorn chicken. It comes in different spice levels so I went with the highest level which prompted them to ask me if I was sure. When they ask that, I typically dial it down a notch which I am glad I did, because the second to last level packed some heat. It was that good heat that you realize when you start sweating, but not the kind that burns in your mouth, The flavor was great and I love that they fry it with little bits of basil to give it some freshness to contrast the richness of the fry. For my drink I went with one of their seasonal drinks which was the Blueberry Blush. This drink was outstanding. It was an earl grey tea tea with diced white peaches. I also added mango popping boba in it because why not. I also asked for 50 percent sweetness level which was the right call. This drink was perfect for a hot day like it was. It was refreshing and the diced peaches reminded me of summer. The earl grey tea and the choice of anything blueberry was out of my ordinary but I am glad I was talked into this drink. I love this place because they have every type of boba drink you can think of from teas, milk teas, energy drinks, coffee, smoothies, slushes and hot drinks. They also have a decent selection of hot snacks and meals like chicken or shrimp rice bowls. Currently they are my favorite boba spot in the city. I will most definitely be back. read more

One of the few boba shops on the west side of Bellaire. It is slightly on the pricier side; though the upgrade from 20oz to 32oz is pretty solid! They have snacks/appetizers for sale. The space is a little small. If you're in the area, for example, for Pandan Leaf, give them a try, but I wouldn't go out of my way though. read more

Great customer service. They got a lot of options I don't see commonly like horchata crunch smoothie. Drinks came out quick too. Place is a bit small though so can't bring too big of a group to chill or study here. Very cute place to come again if I'm around the area. :) read more

Tastea - Tiger milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came here for a sweet treat after lunch with friends on a Wednesday. It wasn't very busy, and we were able to order right away at the front. The cashier was very patient and helpful, since it was my first time and there were so many different drink options. My friend got the matcha and she thought it was just okay, nothing too special. I ordered the Vietnamese coffee and really enjoyed it! It was bold, rich and had just the right amount of sweetness. The inside of the establishment was very clean, but there are only a few seating options, so it might be a bit hard to find a spot if it gets busy. read more

This tea spot is on the strip of Bellaire that's a bit less saturated with bubble tea shops, making it a good location for people to visit. Parking is easy up front but can get crowded on busy times of the day. There are only two small tables to enjoy tea and snacks inside but the atmosphere is modern and welcoming. Their menu consists of many great drink options, anywhere from milk teas (with or without boba) to fruit teas and smoothies to coffee, and energy drinks to slushy freezes. I love that they let you do a top off with no extra charge as I tend to order my drinks with less ice. They also offer a handful of snack options like fried shrimp or calamari, funnel cake sticks, popcorn chicken, and even rice bowls. The service is fast and friendly and the teas I've tried were all refreshing and tasty. However, I do notice that some of the teas are more sweet than others even at my go-to percentage for sweetness, which is almost always at thirty percent. In addition, I prefer the fruity teas here compared to others. Its a nice spot to grab a drink with friends or to take on-the-go. read more

The best part about Tastea was Dat, the cashier. He was very helpful (my first time here), funny, and nice. I was between the matcha strawberry and then mango green tea. Dat said the tea was strong in the mango green tea and the mango was barely there. I was also told the matcha was made to order (not an instant mix in powder). When I got my drink the color was off and I knew immediately it was gonna taste bad. You couldn't taste the matcha at all, it was nonexistent (prob a cheap matcha or a mix in...)...disappointing. read more

Absolutely yummy!! I stumbled across this place on TikTok after I saw someone posted about their new pandan milk tea and I just had to go since my absolute favorite flavor is pandan. This was my first time trying this shop and I didn't know how busy it would be especially on a Sunday night, so I decided to order online. Ordering online was easy, but I wish I didn't have to create an account in order to checkout and wish I could've checked out as a guest but no biggie. The order was ready in about 5-10 min which was super quick! The shop itself is in a corner of a plaza but very easy to find due to their bright lights! Plenty of parking outside and inside is very cute and quaint! I think it's a good spot to just grab your drink and go, but there are a few seats so you can rest or study. This pandan milk tea is probably one of my favorite drinks ever, especially if I'm craving something sweet + non-fruity + no caffeine! The pandan flavor was perfect and had a nice coconut flavor as well that made the pandan stand out. The grass jelly was perfect too. The whole drink itself tasted very nostalgic and perfect. I also ordered 50% sugar which was the perfect amount of sweetness and I think next time I'm gonna also add boba for more chew and textures! Overall, I'm for sure going to come back to try more of their drinks and of course, order the pandan milk tea. read more

I really like that they had a 32 ounce option. I ordered the pandan milk tea. You can definitely taste the flavor and it was just as expected along with some black/grass jelly. I was here for maybe about five minutes. They were very quick and efficient. The place was clean and they had some flyers out, promoting their seasonal drinks. Parking is free and out front . read more

I was excited to check out Tastea since Bellaire has so many teahouses and more on the way. On my first visit, I got the Strawberry Ecsteasy, which is made with black tea and black jelly, but I substituted lychee jelly--my favorite. The drink was okay, but it didn't stand out compared to other places. I went again a few days ago and tried the Strawberry Ecsteasy with green tea and lychee jelly instead, and it was pretty good--definitely better than my first experience. What I was really looking forward to was the popcorn chicken, which they call "Karate Chicken." Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The portion size was too small for the price, and it was a bit too salty. I still prefer the popcorn chicken from Kim's Cafe--it remains my favorite. Overall, Tastea was decent, but not enough to pull me away from my regular spots. For drinks, R&B Tea is still my top pick for Strawberry Green Tea and other teas, and for popcorn chicken, I'll be sticking with Kim's Cafe. read more

Have the chance to try the Lychee Peachy with golden boba. The drink itself is slightly tangy and on the sweeter side. The recommended sugar level for this drink is 50%. I ordered 75% with the golden boba makes the drink too sweet for me. More of a order-to-go restaurant. read more

This spot has better prices than other boba shops who charge $8 for a small drink. The 32 oz size is honestly a great deal. Their boba is uniquely colored (green), but it tastes like regular boba! read more

I like this boba spot and the different drinks they have to offer. I think the price is pretty good for what you are getting. I will say their drinks are on the sweeter side so I would lower the sweetness if you don't like your drinks sweet. Also their fries are so addictive! They have different flavors to offer and they give you so much! They also make the drinks super fast so you are never waiting for a long time. The bellaire location is a little small compared to katy but it's very clean. read more

Tried the mango green tea which had chunks of mango (small, diced and kind of hard) and added honey boba (soft and chewy). Asked for the drink to be half sweet, but it was still fairly sweet. The selection of drinks is great, and overall looking forward to trying more at future visits. read more

Cute little tea shop. We were promptly greeted upon walking in. The staff are very friendly and helpful with your drink selections. I opted for the tiger milk tea that has chunks of crème brûlée with 50% sugar. That seems to be the right sugar level for me. Delicious and creamy drink. My husband ordered the bootea shaker with tapioca and lite sugar. The boba was fresh, soft and chewy. Their specialty are the fruit teas with little fruit bits. Drinks comes in 20 oz and 32 oz sizes. Prices are fair. Parking here might be a challenge on the weekend with other busy establishments in the same shopping center. read more

It pains me to write this but combining both of the times I've been here, it definitely did not exceed my expectations. The only reason I'm giving it a 3 is because the service was great and their Vietnamese coffee was very good. So this place is more set up for to go orders. They only have a booth area for you to wait on your drinks. The 2nd time I was here they did bring out two tables. There's also outside seating as well with no tables (maybe they'll set that up later). The drinks came out swiftly both of the times even though it was very busy the 2nd time. Here are the drinks I've ordered. * Sunset Peach- refreshing? Yes. But even with less sugar I didn't taste any tea. I was also not a fan of their green mango bits. 2/5 * Tea to Mango- tea flavor was subtle. 2.5/5 * Taro milk tea- says it has black tea in it but I didn't taste any of that. Taro flavor was there, it's just not strong enough. 2/5 * The unknown- zero tea flavor, felt like I was just drinking passion fruit juice. I do like that they added lychee bits into the drink. 2/5 * Vietnamese coffee- Their saving grace. Authentic & potent as how it's suppose to be. This will have me up all day. 4/5 I'm not saying I'm an expert with boba tea but I go at least twice a week. So I definitely know what I'm talking about. What I look for when I'm drinking Milk/Fruit "tea" is for the tea flavor to be strong or at least strong enough. Presentation & other ingredients are important but if the tea is weak then points will be deducted. This place is new so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I'll come back in a month and give them one last try. read more

I had to come back and check this place out for their lunch options as it's only 14-15 minutes from my job! The food did not disappoint! They offered fried shrimp and fries, both of which can be ordered separately. The shrimp can be ordered in two sizes, a medium or large size. I got the medium which was more than enough, it came with about 8 pieces of juicy fried shrimp and I was able to select my heat level from 0-10 and my dipping sauce which was a honey siracha. The fries come in one size, cut from the cud and crunchy, comes with the same heat level options as the shrimp and a dipping sauce. They were amazing!! I'm still impressed with the vibrant basil mixed with spice of the shrimp, the honey siracha offered a nice cool down from the heat. I got my shrimp on level 8 and it was well worth it! I went based off the staff's recommendation. I ordered their Earl Grey Peach tea that was slightly sweet, very fragrance with chopped crisp beaches throughout. They also have a rewards program where when you purchase enough, you gain enough points to get freebies like the fried shrimp or teas. They also give service member discounts of 10% off the total spend making this place one of the most desired in the plaza. Plenty of free and open lot parking, right off a main road, Staff was absolutely amazing with amazing suggestions. Pick their brain an be spontaneous like I did and say "if you could pick a tea and something to eat what would it be? please order as if it were your meal" and you will be left with no regrets! read more

Maybe it's the nostalgia or maybe it's the incredibly large sweet tooth we all have as a kid. The general consensus after trying this place in Houston was the memories of getting Tastea on the family trip to California as a kid was much more pleasant. At 50% sweetness the Unknown was incredibly sweet and overpowered with what tasted like the sweetened juice you get from canned lychee fruit. I'm 80% sure the "Longan bits" were lychee fruit and my friend who got the lychee peaches had a drink that tasted and almost looked the exact same as my "unknown". Looking at the other pictures I can see that this is just their standard. A little disappointing because of the fond memories of this place but I was expecting more authenticity tbh. read more

Nut allergy warning: Coffees do have hazelnut. I came here around 8 PM on a Saturday evening and there was not really a line. I got my drink in about six minutes. Ordered lite sweetness, less ice, and top off with tea. The Wintermelon milk Tea with honey boba was one of the sweetest drinks I've ever had at less sugar level. I let three friends all try it and it was ridiculously sweet to the point of saying we're basically drinking cream with sugar. The boba tasted like drinking condensed corn syrup. If I ever got dragged back here, I'd definitely order a drink at "None" sugar level. For $8 (with $1 tip) on a smaller drink, I definitely won't be back. It might be one of the only times in my life I could not finish a boba tea and had everybody in my party refuse to take it. read more

I'm so happy Tastea has finally opened in Houston! My new obsession is the *Yummy Gummy + Honey Boba. It was really refreshing and tasted exactly like a gummy bear. It also has peach bits in it as well which is nice. I usually am not a smoothie person but this one was really good! One thing I can note though, is that smoothies at this location consistently come out icier than at the Katy location. The inside of this location is very small so it's more of a grab and go spot located in a very busy plaza. I came on a busy night and drinks were still coming out quickly. I would definitely recommend to stop by Tastea for a refreshing drink when you have the chance! read more

Tastea has been one of my favorite boba places for years, and I previously could only get them whenever I was in California. I was ecstatic when I heard news of Tastea opening in Houston, and I've been going every weekend since their soft opening here. This Tastea location is small, bright, and clean. There is only enough room inside the store to order and wait for the drinks because of the small location. The drinks are so good, just like the other Tasteas I've had in California. I've ordered multiple different drinks so far, and they've all been delicious and flavorful. There are 2 sizes to choose from (20 oz and 32 oz), and you can customize the sweetness, ice level, dairy, and toppings. My absolute favorites are the Tiger Milk Tea, the Ooh La La, and the Horchata Crunch. I've also had the Mango All the Way, the Unknown, and the Taro Fantasy, and they were all really good too. Most of the teas are not too sweet even at the full sweetness level, but for drinks like the Ooh La La, you'll want to ask for medium sweet if you don't like it too sweet. The Tiger Milk Tea here is at the top of my list for brown sugar milk tea out of ALL the boba places I've been to anywhere; it comes with just the right amount of brown sugar as well as creme brulee. Overall, I'm so glad that we finally have Tastea in Houston, so I no longer have to go to California for them. read more

New boba shop that opened in a still expanding plaza in Bellaire. Looking at the menu, I liked that it had a good balance of different types of drinks like milk tea, fruit tea, coffees, and smoothies. The shop size is on the smaller side so it is not suitable for studying or large groups though. I ordered the Tea to Mango which is a mango green tea with mango chunks. It was sweet but not as sweet as I thought it would be, but I still enjoyed it. It was refreshing and the mango chunks added a little texture to it which I liked. The mango chunks were soft and in bite sized pieces. 7.5/10 read more

Came for their soft opening when their drinks were BOGO and got the peach me sweetea and a wintermelon milk tea. The peach me sweetea I got lite sweet with the tea top off the help dilute the sweetness. Even then it was a tad sweeter than I like, but the drink was still super refreshing and I really enjoyed the real fruit bits. (7.5/10) The wintermelon milk tea was also sweet and creamy. Once my ice melted it was the perfect amount of sweetness and the wintermelon flavor was great. (7/10) The staff were super friendly and their menu was really extensive, so there is something for everyone. I would definitely come back to try other drinks and the spicy karage which I've heard really good things about. read more

Drinks 5/5 Customer service 5/5 Price 5/5 affordable Seating 4/5 seating outside and inside but limited This is our second time here. We ordered tiger milk tea with less sugar and a flavored ice tea with strawberry juice and green tea with no sugar. Drinks were very good. The flavored ice tea had a subtle hint of jasmine which was very nice. Previous time, we got the matcha strawberry 4/5 and the taro milk tea 4/5. The presentation was gorgeous for the matcha strawberry and I could taste the strawberry. The only concern I had for that drink was the matcha portion tasted a bit gritty. Taro milk tea had real taro in it which was a great treat. Staff were very patient and accommodating. We had some issues with our rewards points not reflecting on our app and they were able to troubleshoot it for us. We really appreciated them for that. They also gave us good recommendations for drinks to get. read more

These are probably 5,000 calories but who cares! I asked for light sweetness, and they delivered! The Matcha Thai tea was good, but I wish it had more matcha. It leaned more toward Thai milk tea.

Tastea is a popular boba shop from California, so when I saw that they opened in Houston, I had to stop by! The Bellaire location is cute, though a bit small, and I think they only have about 2 tables, so maybe not an ideal spot to hang around. Nonetheless, the service was very friendly. They have several interesting flavors, but I opted to order the Jasmine Milk Tea and the Peach Me Sweetea. One unique thing about Tastea is their "Top-off" option, where if you order less ice, they will add more tea to your order, which I feel like is a win for people who want that punch of tea flavor in their drinks! This is something I requested for both of my drinks. - Jasmine Milk Tea (medium sweetness, no toppings): 5/5, a pretty classic drink, but you can't go wrong with it! I got their top-off option and felt there was a good blend of creaminess and tea flavor. The drink wasn't too sweet either! - Peach Me Sweetea (light sweetness, no toppings): 4/5, I ordered this because it seemed like a unique option. Because I requested such a low sugar level, the drink was rather bitter initially, but the strawberry and peach bits included in the drink did add a natural sweetness. It's a tas-tea (pun intended) drink, but I do prefer something a bit more tart, so I don't think I'd order the Peach Me Sweetea again. Overall, I had a pretty good experience and look forward to trying their other unique options! read more

We LOVE this place! It's definitely a hidden gem :) The theme of the shop is green, and they have silly green boba. It tastes like regular boba, but the green definitely makes this spot very silly and unique. While this is not a negative thing, this shop is probably not an ideal place to study or do work at. The lighting is cool and a bit harsh and the seating seems to be limited for the little wait time it takes to get the drink. The bobaristas are always so nice and knowledgeable about their menu. (Ry's Review) 7/10 Tastea has a large variety of drinks. They have some very good fruit teas that have pretty noticeable fruity flavor. Their jasmine milk tea also has a nice strong jasmine tea flavor while not being too sweet when the sugar is adjusted. Their honey boba also has a nice chew and us uniquely green (if that doesn't throw you off). Some other things that l set Tastea apart from other boba places is their size options not only being 20oz but also including a huge 32oz size, and when getting less ice, you get the option to fill up the drink to the top free of charge. They also have an option to replace their sweetener to stevia if you're conscious of calories/sugar consumption which I personally enjoy. (Vi's Review) 8.5/10 I personally am a very big tea person. I usually get their black or green tea with honey boba and it's great. The "less sugar" option is typically not sweet enough for me. read more
