Came here on a Friday evening, pre-dinner, and it was pretty quiet. Its a pretty spacious boba shop for the Rice Village area and it has free parking. Staff was nice and greeted everyone who came in and were patient with ordering. I got an almond milk tea at 25% sweet and it came out quite a bit sweeter than I expected. My partner got a passionfruit tea with boba at 50% sweet and it was very subtley sweet. It seems there's a bit of inconsistency with their sweetness levels. The boba was also very flavorless but texturely fine? Compared to some of the other Teahouses, I think the sweetness levels are definitely inconsistent. However, staff was nice and it could be a good study/work spot for those in the area. read more

I used to be not a big fan of the teahouse. They are a convenient cafe to study at though since they close at midnight. I tried a Passionfruit green milk tea that they had out for samples and I really liked it. I ended up ordering a Thai green cream tea. It's similar to jtea but less sweeter. It was pretty good though and I'd get it again. My friend also got their popcorn chicken which came with a chili sauce. The popcorn chicken was actually so good. It is really hot too so be careful because I almost burned my mouth. I heard they have a combo where you can get the chicken and a drink and I wish I knew that before ordering read more

It's smelled upon entering the establishment... When I placed my order for the almond coffee she failed to ask me if I wanted my drink hot or cold so she made my drink cold... When I requested for it to be made hot she gave off a very rude attitude... I have been to other Teahouse locations that were better... I will not be returning to this location... read more

Great service staffs friendly great location and clean washroom. Drinks are excellent, I had the combo drinks and food for $9.90 which's a great treat. Popcorn chicken is awesome 1st time guest remember to scan the QR code and update your phone number to get a free drink next visit read more

It's yum at first sip! After a workout I was ready for a nice Boba tea and what better place than The Teahouse on my way home. This location (on Rice Blvd) has a moderate amount of traffic but private lot for parking. Nestled in between Insomnia Cookies and The Meltwich Food Co., this cute little spot has an amazing assortment of teas, so much to choose from, you can't go wrong. I selected the Passionfruit Ice Blend with Rasberry Popping Boba, so good and so refreshing - the perfect "after work out" treat. I mean, why not? This walk up location is nice and quaint with a colorful branded wall and accent shelving. Offering enough indoor seating to sit and relax with friends while enjoying your beverage. Unfortunately, there's no outdoor patio seating but where this place sits if you want to walk around and take in the scenery and people watch, you can. The Teahouse is fast with their service and they welcomed me with a warm greeting when I walked inside . I appreciate how patient they were with me while at the counter, as a first-timer, until I settled on what I wanted. Priced well for what I got, this is a place I will visit again. If you're looking for a Boba spot? Check out The Teahouse! Enjoy! read more

Came here and got fries and popcorn chicken! Which were good! I would come back and do their combo again. Enough for two people to share as a snack! Plus I got the taro with tapioca. Service was great people were nice and quick and easy with the order. This place was great to study, play games, hang out with friends and it was good to be there. read more

Best boba drinks I've gotten in a long time. Place has good parking. And a lot of places to seat.

This is a small tea shop with prices similar to others. The tea came out really fast and tasted good. My only complaint was that there were people in the store soliciting for $20 donations. They were very pushy, and it was time-consuming trying to get out the door without being rude to them. read more

Quick service and I like how this specific location is open later (12 am close). We got the classic milk tea and it was good! We just felt like some of the bobas itself were not good and a weird texture. Could be because we came later (11:40 pm). But overall hit the spot! read more

they have a $0.70 up charge if you ask for the drink with no ice and the price of the combo is more expensive at the Meyerland location

TLDR: Great spot, great hours, decent boba, but not the cleanest nor the quickest. The Teahouse is a consistent spot in each location I've been to. This spot is super clutch as it's located in a great spot (rice / other restaurants & shopping nearby); however the parking can be a pain when busy. They're up late! You can rely on The Teahouse as a sweet treat for your late night cravings. My main issue with my visit is that it took roughly 20+ minutes to get one order of a boba tea in after only two or three people ahead of me.. I've been to other spots where 10 people are in line and get taken care of with a shorter staff in under 10 minutes. The interior looks a little messy as well. You can tell cleanliness is the last priority. Get your tea & stick around if you have a crew. Probably not the best spot for studying anymore. read more

I've been here multiple times to work on my laptop usually in the evenings. There has not been a time when this spot doesn't have at least 6 to 8 people inside. Sometimes all the tables get filled. There is never a super long line. They don't clean the tables after it's used and it's clear it needs to be wiped down. Wifi speed is pretty good. They have a few board games available to play. It gets cold after a while so I recommend a jacket if you get cold easily and will be staying for more than 30 minutes. I try sometime new each time I come. Here are my ratings: - Mocha Coffee Blend: 3/5 - Coffee Cream Blend with ice cream: 5/5 - Tea with lavender & rose cream syrup: 2/5 - Hot vanilla cappuccino: 4/5 - Mango cream blend: 4/5 The #1 reason I keep coming back here is........I love that they close at 12 AM daily. One of few places in Houston that stay opened late. read more

If I brought my cats here, it'd be The Fleahouse. If the toilet overflows? The Peehouse. And when you bring your wife here, it's The Guess-what-she's-having-an-affair-with-Mehouse. What to get: Lemon Honey Black Tea, Strawberry Black Tea, Lemongrass Over Ice. What toppings: Aloe Vera plus Strawberry Hearts, Lychee Bears or Passion Fruit Dolphins. What not to get: Student loans instead of Teahouse, homes. (We all would choose the latter) If it was in your backyard, it'd be The Treehouse. If it were the kind of "sums" I like, it'd be The Threehouse. And if this review gets censored, blame The FCC-house. If you gave this place a bad review, you had no rice to do what you did. This is a lovely location of the tea house. They are fairly new and much less busy than the one in Montrose. I'm a big fan. Now that I've tried all of the different Teahouse locations I can say that this is one of the best. They're weird about serving right before closing, unlike Montrose - and they need more tables because so many are studying here, without buying drinks, and staying all day. But in terms of drink quality they are absolutely excellent. It's never watered down like so many of the Teahouse locations are. It is becoming my go-to for fruit drinks. At the Montrose location, quality depends who is working. At this location. It's perfect every time. It's just a shame that it's not as cozy and comfortable as the Montrose location and their famous couches, although the AC here is way better. Teahouse is a godsend. This one is shiny and clean (unlike the older ones) with very friendly service, and excellent products. Their bathrooms are nice, unlike the Montrose location where they can be gross AF. That doesn't really bother me. It's fun reading what's written on the wall of the men's. (And women's wink wink). If you steal your drinks, it's The Freehouse. If you make a deal with a DA to avoid jail? The Pleahouse. And if, like me, you like to get shaken all night long by both girls and boys? The AC/DC House. So. The products. Milk teas are meh. Smoothies okay. Honeydew is pretty good. Coffee and mocha and chocolate blended smoothies are delicious and excellent. However, the real stars are the fruit teas. Especially if you get imaginative sinkers, which are absolutely delicious. Passion fruit dolphins, lychee agar bears, strawberry hearts. Boom. All three are so unique and divine, that I honestly think they are my main reason for coming here so often. And the lovely Aloe Vera. If you come in late Nov it's The Turkeyhouse. If you send fake votes from overseas to get Trump elected? The Absenteehouse. And if you're the only ten I see? It's The Tennessee House. The most original, unique, spectacular drink is the lemongrass. Get it over ice - not blended - with black tea (unless you prefer green, meh), Aloe Vera - plus one of the big 3 (bears, hearts, dolphins). Add some lime to it for extra slurps appeal. I also highly recommend the Strawberry Black tea w/ Strawberry hearts & aloe. And the heavenly Lemon Honey Black Tea w/ aloe, plus bears, hearts or dolphins. These three drinks are such brilliant standouts, and that's why Teahouse is so high in my rankings. If the greatest QB ever comes here, it's The Bradyhouse. If you're sadistic? The Marquishouse. And if you service too many ppl in the bathroom, you'll end up with The Sore-Kneehouse. Fresh Grapefruit and Tropical Fruit Tea are good, too. Both made with fresh fruits. I'm not as much into them lately, but try the former. If you stored your hives here? The Beehouse. If you sing acapella here? The Gleehouse. And if they showed TV from the UK (or were named after my girl's intimate preferences)? The BBChouse. Service here is second to none, usually. They have a policy that if you don't like your drink, get a refund or replacement as long as it's at least half full. Nobody else does that - especially not over in Chinatown. And if there's no we without you and I, it's The Jeremiihouse or The Ouihouse. And if you Ginuwine-ly love this tea? The Ponyhouse. If you're a midget who loves Mariah Carey? The Jermaineduprihouse. And if I met you in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine? The Darling Nikkihouse. Rice Village has a surprising lack of top stuff because it's too pretentious. Yelp lies. Rice Vill, Galleria, Heights, Midtown, Downtown, and Montrose are not where you should eat in Houston. But this is a diamond in the hipster rough, along with Lankford, Petite Sweets, Zydeco, Hot Bagel Shop, Nara, Guadalupana, Les Giv. Teahouse is my #1 place for fruit teas in the *world*, top 5 Boba in Texas (Cha Boba in League City, Tea Top Dun Huang, Pann Tea Katy, Sharetea Austin are the other 4). If they sold fancy cheese, it'd be The Briehouse. If all that sugar makes you foam at the mouth and convulse? The Seizurehouse. And if you're a boy who thinks he is straight, and you read this review and fall in love with me, then you're now in The LGBThouse. read more

I am an avid Teahouse customer. I'm talking daily for years. This location is the slowest and rudest service. I came in today for example and the three people who ordered after me got their drinks. When I asked about my drink, they told me I need to "learn to wait". What in the world? I saw a big difference in the way the employee spoke to a man and to myself. Very disappointed and will not be coming back. read more

For close and convenient bubble tea, Teahouse is definitely ok. They're inside the loop, right in Rice Village, which makes them easy to access. We came to satisfy a spur of the moment milk tea craving while we drove by one day.. came in, ordered and waited maybe 5 mins for them to make my drink! I got the milk tea, 50% sweetness, with boba! They have a different name for it.. I think it was "Cream Tea" or something like that. Anyways, as you can see in the photo, a bit too much cream and not enough tea. Super light in color and tasted like cream. Wish the ratio was a bit better. Boba was chewy and small.. not the normal boba I'm use to.. and also didn't have a hint of sweetness that I like. I think it was maybe cooked a minute or two too long. Overall, good convenient option but not on par with some of the better bubble tea places in Chinatown! Pricing is decent for each! read more

The tea wasn't strong enough. I wasn't impressed with the tea. The service was good. The ambiance was pleasant.

There are definitely pros and cons to Teahouse. They have a substantial selection of teas catered to everyone's tastes and at cheap prices. I love the fact that they offer an option to order tea iced or cold (without ice). I usually take my time when drinking teas that by the time I'm halfway through my drink, it's already watered down by all the ice. On my first visit, I ordered the honey citron green tea. I love citrus teas and was excited to try it but it was just okay. It was lacking the citrus flavor and there was too much honey for my liking. On my most recent visit, I had the taro coconut milk tea (pictured) which my friend recommended. Taro is always a great way to gauge a bubble tea place because it's such a standard but popular drink. The combination of both flavors balanced each other so well. I was afraid that it would be too sweet but it ended up being just right. I was mainly disappointed in the lack of seating considering its location in Rice Village where students come to study. I visited around 3PM on a weekday, which doesn't seem like peak time, and there were no seats available for at least 15 minutes. I ended up drinking my tea elsewhere but had plans in advance to stay at Teahouse to catch up on work. read more

I have been going to Teahouse on Rice boulevard to study more often these days. Every time I come, it has been a fun and exciting environment. I usually stay until closing time and ordered boba, coffee, and also snacks to get me through the night (for those who only come for boba, I highly recommend everyone to try their food options). I really like the set-up, the background music, the speed of service, and especially the staff. One of the staff members, Ronny, always has fun when he serves me boba and I love that. That's what makes a teahouse shop great, its people alongside its environment. Will definitely come back as often as I can. read more

I've tried Teahouse Tapioca quite a few times but their drinks are a hit or miss. I ordered the Thai Green Cream Tea, and it left a strange aftertaste in my mouth. It's definitely better than the powder milk teas I've tried making on my own, but there are better milk tea places just within the Rice Village area. I've also tried their herbal tea drinks before and I would recommend those. I think it was the Rose tea that was really nice for a cold day. read more

It's so close by that this is the boba tea shop I usually go to when I'm craving tapioca. Why is boba tea so addicting? I know it's so bad for me and yet I find myself here at least once a month. Teahouse now has locations in pretty much every area of Houston. This location is a smaller than the original Shepherd location, which has a large extra seating area in the back. It's larger than the NRG Park one that recently opened up. Drinks have been consistent across the board at all the Teahouse locations I've been. I stick to classic milk tea when comparing boba shops. The tea is always tasty. However, I've noticed the bobas sometimes are on the smaller end here. For Teahouse drinks, I stick to 75% sugar and less ice. read more

Is this a chain? I think it's a chain. Can I get this chain started in Dallas please? Stopped by before I headed back to Dallas and ordered a Vietnamese coffee for myself and a taro milk tea for my friend. Good flavors for sure and comparatively priced. The place was 3/4 packed with a lot of working students. I really liked the ambiance and the decor. I also appreciated the menu being located right next to the cashier's. When the menu is extensive, it's hard to strain your neck and squint at the menu when it's hung up high. Oh, is that just me? Super solid, definitely recommended! read more

Considering that this is the only boba option in Rice Village, it's pretty good! There isn't much to dislike about this tea house, haha. I think that they have the same things that most boba shops do; modern decor, overpriced drinks, tv screens with the menu shown on it, a ton of (too many probably) options to choose from, and not that much space to sit down, yet still people working at some of the tables. Pretty run of the mill boba shop, but they execute well here and it's great that there's something like this for this area in town! read more

Came around lunch time and was able to immediately order. I was greeted by unenthusiastic, unresponsive workers. I had to repeat my order of two drinks 4 times. They made my Thai green tea and Vietnamese coffee really quick, but they used way too much ice to where it tasted watered down upon the first sip. It had no flavoring and tasted powdery/chalky. My coffee wasn't even close to 16oz and tasted like it was old coffee. It was definitely watered down. When I tried to get it fixed the person just stood in the back. Bad experience, but maybe it would be better at a different time, but as for now 2 is my review for service and experience read more

I would expect higher reviews from the tea house. The atmosphere is great. Seating and free WiFi perfect for college students especially since rice is just a few blocks away. The music is low, but the latest hits, so you can still study and bob to the music. I love their menu screen. They have many options, but hey categorize it nicely. My drink came out super fast, and I was on my way. I had a mango creme smoothie and it was delicious treat to beat our Houston heat! I will be back , hopefully have time to lounge around a bit. read more
