We used to have a Teapresso Bar in the Heights that opened in May 2018, and we went consistently from the beginning. It was easily the best boba shop in the area, so I was genuinely sad when that location closed. Teapresso Bar was founded in 2014 in Hawaii by Steve Nguyen, starting in downtown Honolulu and growing across the islands as a healthier alternative in the coffee and milk tea market. The Houston locations opened in 2018, and the brand emphasizes community, sustainability, and quality ingredients. Each drink is served in compostable cups and straws, and they're known for being gathering spots with board games and WiFi available. We were in East Downtown on a Saturday morning and were excited to see a Teapresso location at 2929 Navigation Blvd. They have a private parking lot shared with neighboring businesses, which makes it easy. Inside, there are a few small tables to the left if you plan to stay and enjoy your drink. [BUBBLE TEA] +Peach Cantaloupe Green Tea with half sweet, light ice, and tapioca for $6.70 - This is my go-to order here and one of the most unique bubble tea flavors I've found anywhere. The peach and cantaloupe combination is refreshing and balanced, and it's consistently good every time. - 5/5 Overall, I'm so happy to have Teapresso back in reach. It remains one of my favorite boba spots in Houston, and the Peach Cantaloupe Green Tea alone keeps me coming back. read more

This place is in a nice area next to Roostar Vietnamese Grill restaurant. Interior was very simple, spacious, and clean. Had a few seating area with outlets which is great if you're planning to stay there to study/do work. I was looking at the menu intensely and the girl taking the order just stood there staring at me. Made me kinda feel uncomfortable and rushed. There wasn't anyone behind me btw. She was nice though, and made me a peach oolong tea (wasn't on the menu). Unfortunately, it tasted very watered down. I got it 100% sweet and it wasn't very sweet. It tasted good, just very watered down so it barely had much flavor. I also got their brown sugar milk tea with 75% sugar and light boba. It's a must every time I try a new boba spot. The presentation was nice but again, I was disappointed in the drink. The boba was chewy but not in a super soft chewy way. The drink's sweetness was good, I could've gotten 50% to be honest. The tea flavor just wasn't hitting. It also tasted a bit watered down. read more

When the location near 610 closed I was a bit sad. When I'm in this area now, I'm definitely getting a drink here. I got the green Thai tea which isn't as common as you think in boba/tea shops and I always enjoy it. The worker was very nice in answering questions for us. Glad to see this on the east side. read more

Teapresso is probably my favorite tea/boba shop in the center of Houston outside of the options in Bellaire/Chinatown. I really enjoyed a recent trip when I got the lavender rose green tea with grass jelly. It had very prominent floral notes without being too perfumey or artificial. Their grass jelly was on the sweeter side, but texturally was soft and easily drinkable through the larger straw. They have a variety of teas, toppings, and even coffee options. Definitely stop by if you're near Eado. read more

Nut allergy friendly! Overall, a reasonable boba option in the area. I sampled their brown sugar milk tea at 50% sweetness and thought it was too sweet. The Teaspresso classic at 50% sweetness was okay. I'd definitely drop to 25%. Boba texture was firmer than I prefer, but some others liked it. read more

Teapresso Bar - Outside - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

How cute are you, Teapresso!!! This adorable Boba shop is nustled in an quaint shopping strip in EaDo, next door to Nothing Bundt Cake. It's brightly lit , with the perfect amount of seating for you, a couple of friends and a board game (yes, they have those too!). They also offer limited seating outside as well. The menu options are plentiful, from smoothies, to milk tea, to snacks and quick grab Ramen! Shout out to Jocelyn for her warm welcome and walking me through what was in my order, which confirmed I made the right choice! I went with the Pink Dragon Hibiscus Tea with my favorite, Strawberry bursting Boba! It was love at first sip, I tell ya! It was a perfect blend of Coconut milk and Hibiscus tea! So good! At a little over $7, the price was comparable to other Boba spots so it was happy. This place is definitely worth a return visit for sure! If in the area, check it out, you won't be disappointed! Enjoy! read more

Located in EaDo next to Roostar and the Rub. Plenty of parking up front. I've been to the former Teapresso spot in the Heights so it was interesting to see another location here in the revamped east end area. Unfortunately, Teapresso still feels a bit behind the boba pack in terms of quality of the milk tea and the boba texture. I got the strawberry milk tea and it was as par as you can get. The boba was also quite mushy and lacked Q. Service was great but their menu is huge but lacks some finesse. It's good to have a boba spot for the area, but compared to other spots in the general region, the milk tea is a miss for me. read more

After getting brunch with my friend, we decided to try teapresso bad since it was in the area. I got their teapresso milk tea. There was a huge group in front of us so we had to wait a little bit for our drinks. When I got my drink, it was unsweetened. Luckily, they offered to remake my drink. It was definitely much better but I think this drink in general isn't my kind of taste. They are relatively new though so I understand the complications read more

So if you come down to Teapresso Be careful you don't make a messo Or like Monica Lewinsky You can get a bit kinky And show up with cum stains on your dresso. Definitely one of the 5 best boba shops in Houston. Could not recommend it more highly. Very interesting and different bubble tea shop, making some of the strongest and best-tasting milk teas I've ever had. Their fruit drinks are fantastic too. Some of the loveliest service too, I like their owners, very friendly, very helpful, but the real stars of the show are the girls (and boy) that work here, they're angels, they're so friendly and make such good drinks. Sometimes gets busy, especially during hat meetings, and the decor is lovely, and feels bright and welcoming. Lots of games to play. This is Boba from Hawaii apparently, who knew it was a thing. Several locations in Honolulu. New location has opened up in Sugar Land, which is not even close to the level of this one in my opinion. We tried the other version of this (TeaLatte in Dallas and I liked it but Barbi hated it. This particular location - I liked it even more and Barbie actually liked it. So I think it's clear between the two of us which is more enjoyable location. The Dallas one smells very strongly of tea, although Barbi thinks it smelled so bad it could not have been tea. This one doesn't smell at all - it's just nice. We will definitely be coming back in the future to try different things, but do bear in mind that for the purist this is definitely along the lines of somewhat Americanized (or Hawaiianized) Boba rather than a Taiwanese original. But then so is Boba Guys and that's amazing and that's actually what some of the milk teas here remind me of. I don't think the owners are related to the former owners of the now-shut-down Heights location, who sent me aggressive and abusive messages for reporting that an employee had told me during purchase that they did not receive their tips (the owners were taking them) and I should not tip. That is not the case - at all - at this location. They've been nothing but wonderful, and I've checked with employees here, and they get the tips, which is good to know. Very well worth a try. I wonder if one will open up in Bellaire Chinatown at some point. Was a time when you needed a car In the Heights to get Boba (quite far) But those times are all past (And your mother's quite fast) Thanks to the opening of Teapresso Bar! read more

Teapresso is SUPER GOOD!! Always love my drinks the staff is super nice. Owner is there time to time and is always super friendly. Ambiance is super nice great to study in and they have board games for you and your friends to play when waiting for your drinks or just to hang out!! Would really recommend for you or your friends to visit and to make sure to stop by Roostar Vietnamese grill right next door they're also super friendly and have great food! read more

Clean boba shop with good customer service. The lady behind the register was very helpful & patient. They are known for their brown sugar milk tea. I went with that and added Boba and strawberry popping jelly. I had one sip and it is very very sweet. I have a sweet tooth so I would recommend this drink. If you do not have a sweet tooth then please get something else. If I'm in the area, then I would definitely go back to this location. read more

Teapresso Bar - Brown sugar milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of my favorite tea spots in town! I'm glad they opened up this location in the EaDo area. This location is very well lit and clean. I really enjoy the Hong Kong Milk tea with boba! They use condensed milk in this drink, so it turns out very creamy and tasty. The boba is always on point as well, not too chewy. Their signature teas are also really good as well. They have just the right amount of sugar. Teapresso Bar is always worth a visit if you are nearby! read more

Sweetened Vietnamese coffee with coffee jelly. That's the way to go day or night. It's so consistently good. The place is cute inside with a small amount of seating - only one table outside that's basically in their doorway though. The staff is nice and the menu is plentiful. I come every time I'm in houston these days. read more

I really like this bubble tea spot despite not tolerating tapioca bubbles. They have a good variety of leaf teas that smell great. And their Vietnamese coffee frappe was excellent. They are ffriendly and seem willing to make me iced earl grey with no bubbles or mikk read more

I've been here a few times now, the service is always quick and friendly. I like the brown sugar boba and the Vietnamese coffee. The Vietnamese coffee is strong and had a kick to it, made with condensed milk. My husband didn't enjoy it because it is bitter compared to other drinks, but I like it because I need the caffeine sometimes. I like how the inside is minimal and clean. Definitely come check it out! read more

Teapresso Bar - Vietcoffee - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Finally got a chance to come to the new location! The staff here are friendly and helpful in helping you select your drink and making sure your order is correct. DRINKS/BOBA The drinks are amazing and top-quality as always. The boba is fresh, chewy and sweet. Drinks are customizable in terms of ice and sugar level. The teas are freshly brewed on the spot as they use the Teapresso machine (think about it as an espresso machine but solely for teas).  Make sure to shake your drink once you get it! Note when you order no ice, the drink isn't filled all the way up. ENVIRONMENT/STUDY Although smaller than the Heights location, this is perfect place to study during the week. It is not too busy/crowded to get distracted. All of the tables have a 2-plug outlet underneath the seats. The wifi (TeaPresso Bar Guest) password is located at the front where you order, and the connection is always fast and steady. On a side note: they also offer select pastries. I have yet to try them but they look scrumptious! read more

Teapresso Bar - Almond Milk Tea (Hot) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Highly recommend this place if you're in East Downtown! Very bright, clean, and Hawaiian vibe interior. I honestly felt like I was back in Hawaii! DRINKS: The Waikiki Sunset Lemonade with Crystal Boba has been my favorite so far. You have the option to adjust the amount of ice, the sweetness level (the highest is 125%!), and size preference (small or large). I don't recommend the Passionfruit Green Tea, since I thought it was rather bland and watered down. PROS: - Large parking lot in the front - Super chill and friendly staff - Free loyalty rewards (just enter your phone number on the iPad at checkout) - Open late like 9-10ish (but call ahead just to check!) - Bright and open concept - Wide menu selection -- Hot/cold tea, slush, smoothies, milk tea, and signature specials - Quick service!!! The staff are like NINJAS with the loooooong weekend lines haha! - Close proximity to restaurants and bars nearby CONS: - Loud on the weekends... Difficult to hear your name/number whenever your drink is ready. - Difficult to obtain your drink from the pickup counter... Since it's challenging to hear your name/number, customers crowd around the counter. - Limited seating inside (not ideal for large groups especially on the weekends) - Wifi is okay. Better than nothing. If it were faster, I would come to grade papers after work. OVERALL: This place is a great place to go with your best-TEAS after enjoying the restaurants in the area. read more

Teapresso Bar - Bubble tea & slush - Bubble Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I rounded up from 3.5. They would easily get 5 stars but... Their cold brew, which I've ordered twice was horribly bitter with a strange aftertaste. I don't know if they are just getting cheap/ bad beans, not making it fresh, need to spring clean their equipment, or all 3, but it's 10x more bitter than hot coffee I brew @ home. Cookies and boba tea are solid and most of the staff are extremely friendly. The decor is simple, clean and modern. Driving: lots of parking and the area is easy to get around with not much traffic. Biking: they need some bike racks in this shopping strip. Maybe you can find a spot to lock your bike at the nearby Roostar. read more

Very slow service! I came on a Thursday night and there weren't many customers and I waited so long for 2 drinks.

WAY over priced. Regular tea comes to $7.25 before tip and the drink wasn't good has a strange splenda after taste and tapioca wasn't great you can get better for less read more

I adore this place. their drinks taste fresh and delightful, while their flavor combinations are unique and light. I also love that they're not too sweet. they can be slow at times though. read more

We had a fantastic experience here. Loved the friendly staff and the laid-back atmosphere inside with a Hawaiian vibe (this is a Hawaiian-based concept).

My fave boba spot. I usually call in my order. Great customer service and boba teas. Super clean too.

My go to tea bar. Everything I've had is delicious, not overly sweet and perfect boba ratio. Love their milk tea but my favorite is the pink dragon hibiscus, think SB pink drink but BETTER. They have a cute photo op to show off the pretty drinks. So glad it's walking distance from me, I will def continue to come here. read more

This is such a clean, nice spot for boba! The customer service is super great, the owner really makes sure his customers are handled.
