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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Atmosphere and service is great! Didn't try any of the food but tried the Strawberry Matcha, Jasmine Oreo Milk Tea, Lychee Freeze, Bootea Shaker, and the Great White. All were very good and refreshing. Also, you're able to choose the sweetness level which is very helpful as I don't like it too sweet. The lady, Thao, was very helpful and welcoming.

Suelynn N.

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 .

Otesia E.

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.

Brandye C.

Wonderful customer service. I read the Elite Week wrong as I thought it ended Nov 4th but still glad I was able to visit. Clean establishment. Seating outside and a two benches inside. I couldve done without the cigarette smoke being blown by other patrons from the restaurant next door before I walked in but oh well. You have to take the good with the bad as we all have our vices/habits. Great menu and received order in less than 5 minutes. I ordered a blueberry tea.

Joyce C.

The workers are so nice! There is some seating, but it's more for waiting on drinks than staying to study. It feels very clean, and the drinks come out fast. 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!

Dena D.

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.

Very fast and friendly service. Wasn't sure what to get and they walked me through some of the options. Offering good recommendations that would be refreshing on a hot day. Would come back.

Huong N.

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.

My friend had talked up Tastea as his favorite drink spot in California and safe to say I wasn't disappointed. I've tried the matcha Thai tea, Thai tea, and the mango tea which were all really really good. I love the flavors of the drinks which you can tell are made of high quality ingredients. One thing I've noticed that's different in their teas is the use of fruit in teas such as mango green tea etc. I'll for sure be visiting them next time to try the food items which look amazing as well! The service is prompt and everyone is happy to tell you the most popular drinks and their favorite drinks. There's limited seating inside from what I saw while ordering! There's ambience is just as you would expect from a boba spot! read more

Tastea is hands down one of my favorite (probably my top choice) boba shops. I'm from OC and I would frequent the original location in GG often, and this is exactly the same thing. Boy have I missed Tastea!! The staff there is so sweet, especially Thao, who I have picked up a few conversations with whenever I'm there. If y'all need some drink recommendations, here are some of my personal favorites: The Unknown, Peach Me Sweetea, Lychee Peachee, Avocado Avalanche (trust me on this one it's SOO good!!). I usually get less sweet for the teas, and add honey boba. If you are ever in the Bellaire area for food, this is a great place to get drinks!! read more

Amazing service! If you love boba, smoothies, or fruity drinks, Tastea is definitely worth checking out. They have a ton of fun and unique flavors, and everything tastes super fresh. One of my favorites is the Strawberry Ecstasy - it's fruity, sweet, and has just the right amount of boba. Their Horchata Milk Tea is also really good if you like creamy, cinnamon-flavored drinks. The vibe inside is chill, and the workers are usually friendly. Sometimes it takes a while to get your drink if it's busy, but it's worth the wait. Prices are a bit high compared to other boba places, but the portions are big. Overall, if you're craving a refreshing and fun drink, Tastea is a great place to go! read more

I went with the Hawaii Sunset fruit tea at 50% sugar. Just a heads-up: their fruit teas lean more on the fruit-forward side than actual tea, and mine was definitely on the sweeter end of the spectrum--likely from the syrup in the mango popping boba. Even at half sugar, it was pretty sweet. I also noticed a couple of things that could've made the drink better: some lemon seeds were left in, and the smaller bits of mango weren't fully ripe, which made the texture a bit off. That said, the staff's kindness and the wide variety of drinks make me want to come back and try other options! I'm especially interested in their Saigon street food menu and those adorable kitty paw-shaped mochi waffles. The shop itself is small with limited seating, so I'd recommend grabbing your drinks to-go unless you're staying for a bite. Bonus points for being located in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking--no stress finding a spot!

This location is very convenient and it's one of my favorite matcha spots in Houston. I got the…read moreCoconut Matcha and was a little disappointed because I remembered it being better. But then I came back the next day to get the Banana Matcha Latte and it was amazing. It tastes really fresh and just the right amount of banana + matcha to complement each other. I will say (and maybe it's a personal thing) that it was a little thicker than I would have liked but I finished my drink so fast. I wasn't able to grab a drink before it started mixing. The ambiance and service are also quite nice. I was able to get some work done here and there are a good amount of tables for either chatting or getting work done. I went on a Thurs and Fri morning and the music was at a good volume though does get a little loud at times. Sometimes the staff will bring you your drink which I thought was nice of them. I would say that this place is a must try!

I am a harsh critic when it comes to coffee, maybe even more than I am when it comes to food, and…read morethis pandan Vietnamese coffee combo absolutely blew me away. Houston's Vietnamese coffee scene is incredibly strong, but not all cups are created equal. What I loved about this one was how rich, bold, and deeply coffee-forward it was without ever tasting burnt or bitter. The coffee had that intense Vietnamese coffee flavor you want while remaining smooth and balanced from start to finish. Paired with the pandan, it was a perfect combination. The pandan added subtle vanilla-like and floral notes along with just the right amount of sweetness. Best of all, it was not overly sweet, which is where a lot of specialty coffee drinks miss the mark for me. The flavors complemented each other beautifully without either one overpowering the other. That said, this place is chaotic. If you're in a rush, I probably would not recommend it. My coffee took about 20 minutes, and the operation felt busy and hectic. Honestly, though, it was worth the wait to try authentic, high-quality Vietnamese coffee in Houston. If pandan is not your thing, don't worry. They have a huge menu with plenty of other coffee and drink options to choose from. For coffee lovers, this is the kind of place worth seeking out. Houston continues to impress me with its Vietnamese food and coffee scene, and this spot is another reason why.

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.

Maybe I'll come back to sample the teas on weekends.

Pair that with my love of pistachio, and you've got a match made in heaven. This place looks ethnic, modern and clean. There's a painting of a woman on the wall who stares over us as we eat cake. We were lucky enough to come on a gloomy afternoon, my favorite a way to go to a coffee place. I tried a multitude of desserts, and they were all good. We also had four separate drinks, and they were all good. The cheesecake, milk cake and honeycomb bread were all good. The bathrooms were nice and clean. Overall- would definitely go here again!

The pistachio latte was not overpowering at all and you could definitely taste the nuttyness! Not overly sweet which is perfect for me! The pistachio mousse was very thick and rich. My party of friends all enjoyed sampling them both. Our group also tried their Mufawaar medium roast coffee with cardamom & cream (not shown) per the cashier's recommendation. We really did appreciate his rundown of the menu. However, the iced Mufawaar was VERY watery much to our disappointment. Very much everyone in my group's least favorite. The lotus milkcake (not shown) was delicious Interior I will say I was impressed at how big the space was. Very clean, ideal for some work / study. Beautiful patio outside if this Texas heat wasn't so terrible! Overall I have to give it a 4.2~/5. I think their cake selection is great along with their pistachio featured items

I absolutely love coming here! The shop is always spotless, welcoming, and has such a great atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and always greets you with a smile, which makes every visit enjoyable. The Panda's Oreo drink is amazing--perfectly blended, rich, and delicious. My other favorite is the mango milk tea with popping boba. The mango flavor is refreshing, the milk tea is smooth, and the popping boba adds the perfect fun burst of flavor in every sip. You can tell they take pride in both their drinks and their customer service. Everything is consistently fresh, well-made, and presented beautifully. This has quickly become one of my favorite boba spots, and I always look forward to coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious drinks, a clean environment, and wonderful service! read more
