The best avocado smoothie in town. I moved from out of state, and I haven't had an avocado smoothie as refreshing as this one. The baristas are very kind and helpful, and knowledgeable about their menu. read more

Wanted some hojicha but I don't think they knew what that was. So ended up with the charcoal matcha latte which has a small scoop of what looked like charcoal added. Gonna sound wierd but it tasted kinda fishy, literally. read more

Hands down my favorite tea/boba place in the area! I love their brown sugar coffee with boba, absolutely delicious! My husband got the taro creme brulee with boba. We shared a bubble egg waffle with ice cream and it was amazing! This place is clean and welcoming. Staff is friendly and service is quick. I'd definitely enjoy this any day of the week! read more

Still a 10/10 recommend tea shop for me! Wish the location was closer to me or my job but I am more than willing to pay the mileage fee for DoorDash delivery. Taro crème brûlée is a go-to and always delicious. Highly recommend any of their crème brûlée drinks. read more

I came here for Boba with high expectations. Don't get me wrong only because I had some amazing Boba not too long ago. I got the black milk tea with Boba 100%-normal sugar and I gotta say it just didn't really have a good milk tea flavor. It wasn't terrible but once I been into the Boba it tasted warm as if they had just cooked it. Typically, Boba has cooled down and it's got that hard consistency to chew through this one more melted in your mouth and made my tea warm versus cold. The ice pretty much melted that's how I know they probably just cooked the Boba. I would give them a try again because I know I've had them before but today was just didn't have it. Service was great. They were very quick. The place seemed clean and full of people who just wanted to work on their laptops almost like Starbucks. So that has to say something about their Boba being good and maybe it was just not my day. read more

YI CHA - Tea and Coffee - Black milk tea with boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Spring, Texas

I've been coming to Yi Cha for years and know that I will always have consistent, flavorful, good quality drinks here. Service is friendly and the ambiance is perfect for long study sessions; the staff never miss with their playlists. They have a great menu selection with a good mix of classic and adventurous flavors. I like that they use real taro, and not powder, for their taro drinks, and that they have good cheese foam on the menu. I'm also very picky about boba texture and find that their boba pearls usually always have the perfect amount of chew to it. My personal favorite drink is their Yi Cha Milk Tea, which is their version of house milk tea that they add a bit of butterfly pea to. It gives the drink such a cute little blue hue. Other favorites are the Cheese Foam Green Tea. I only wish they had winter melon tea, but so far they haven't yet added it to their menu. - Ambiance: 5/5 - Food (Drinks): 5/5 - Service: 5/5 read more

I tried the matcha latte with crème brûlée cream at Yicha and it was amazing! The matcha itself tasted high quality!! It was rich, earthy, and full-bodied without being overly bitter. The bobarista said the drinks can lean towards the sweeter side, so I went with 25% sugar which was just right, not too sweet, letting the matcha shine through. The crème brûlée cream added a velvety, slightly creamy touch that made the drink extra indulgent. Bonus points for their rewards system! You get a free drink for every 10 purchased, which is always a nice perk. Definitely coming back! read more

I got the Yi Cha milk tea ($6.25) and added boba (95 cents) for a total of $7.79. I chose 50% sugar because I was feeling indulgent. The boba was warm and slightly chewy at first sip. After a few minutes, the boba became a little firmer and was less bouncy. The tables were full of people on the weekend. The interior is a little different from shops as it has a darker palette than the usual stark white walls. read more

Delicious! Came in as a group of 11 and we were not disappointed. Not only is the interior inviting and well-decorated but the people working are friendly, helpful, and patient. The drinks themselves are excellent. The menu offers a variety of unique drinks and flavors including crème brûlée and various yogurt drinks all of which are great. I specifically recommend the mango dragonfruit yogurt. There are also more simplistic kid-friendly options. Definitely a spot worth checking out on your next boba run! read more

Driving to my brothers, this place peaked my interest. So I pulled over and tried it. I am very pleasantly surprised with the quality of my drink. I order the honey kumquat tea with 50% sugar. The tea was refreshing and offered a good balance with tea and kumquat flavor. I actually paused after the first sipped and let out an audible "ahh this is nice" The match late with added crème brûlée with 25% sugar. The cashier said their drinks are on the sweeter side. This adjustment was prefect. The brûlée brought in the right amount of richness to soothe out the matcha. I usually prefer a strong matcha flavor but this mix reminded me of a nice summer ice cream mixed milkshake with a smooth and rich aftertaste taste. read more

Amazing drinks!! I'm very picky with boba places especially because I usually only get matcha which is easy to mess up. Yi Cha is probably my favorite place to get boba in north Houston, and honestly, I prefer it over the other big chains in Bellaire. - Matcha Creme Brulee (4.7/5): The matcha creme brulee is my absolute favorite. It's definitely not traditional Japanese matcha and has the distinctive South East Asian matcha flavor which is slightly floral. The creme brulee is creamy and adds a subtle sweetness that helps balance out the drink. I also like how they swirl it all around the cup so it's evenly distributed and not all on the bottom. However, there are some chunky or grainy bits of creme brulee that kind of disturb the drinking experience. Overall, this drink is refreshing and delicious. - Matcha latte (3.9/5): Decent matcha latte from a boba shop. I like how they usually put a lot of matcha so it's flavorful. It does, however, somewhat taste like Costco matcha, but I'm not complaining. I just think matcha connoisseurs might not rate it so high, but I personally really enjoy this drink. Service/ambiance: The interior is very nice and industrial with a good amount of seating and outlets. It can get very crowded and loud, but it's a very nice place to do schoolwork if you're able to get a table. The service is also very nice and you can kind of tell it's a small business. read more

Absolutely Atrocious Service--Zero Stars If I Could! I really wanted to like this place. I really did, but I have genuinely never experienced such an unwelcoming atmosphere in a coffee and tea shop in my life. Visiting Yi Cha- Tea and Coffee was a masterclass in how not to treat customers, and I am still reeling from the sheer rudeness of the experience. The tone was set immediately by the fact that there were five employees visible behind the counter, yet not a single one offered a smile or even acknowledged our presence cheerfully. They were actively uncheerful, making us feel like an enormous inconvenience just for walking through the door. The most shocking part, however, came when we asked for our drinks in ceramic cups. We were flat-out refused. They are nothing but pure bitches! We were told, with an expression of pure, put-upon exhaustion, that they were only using paper cups I guess because so they wouldn't have to clean up after customers. This level of laziness and disrespect is astounding. Even the simplest item was a disappointment. The supposed "fresh" coffee they provided was clearly watered down, tasting thin and stale. It was a perfect metaphor for the entire experience: completely diluted effort and quality. To the staff of Yi Cha: if you hate your jobs this much, perhaps find new employment. You are so fucking rude, unwelcoming, and clearly don't give a shit to any of the very customers who keep your doors open. I would give this place zero stars if the rating system allowed it. I am never returning here ever again! Fuck this place! read more

Great place! Stumbled across this by accident and it was the best accident of the day! Great tasting milk tea (the jasmine milk tea was AMAZING!!) and the egg bubble waffle was made to perfection.

Decent boba spot in Spring! There's not many options in this area so pretty happy this place opened. I got the Yi Cha Milk Tea. It was unique and good! It kind of tasted like a black with tea with a grass jelly flavor infused into it. Prices are steep and the shop itself is pretty dark. There's not a lot of natural light for me to want to study or do work there. More of a come and go place but solid read more

Its my first time trying out Yi Cha and they have plenty of delicious selection of drinks.

Why 4 stars? Because the potential is there, but my order missed the mark. --- --- --- When I walked in here, I felt like I would have been happy to order literally every single item on the menu. Before I even received my food, I started a review draft and selected 5-stars. I don't think I've ever done that before, but I was that confident in Yi Cha's awesomeness. But as you can see, my review is 4-stars. I ordered the boba ice cream, and just didn't love it like I thought I would. I love the boba pop ice cream more than life itself. But this version was a bit on the bland side. The boba was steaming hot and fresh, but beyond that, the ice cream was kind of forgettable. I also ordered the taro bread, because it was sitting in the counter staring at me. It looked interesting, but it was kind of weird. The taro was really grainy. Granted, I think this is just what taro bread is, and not an indictment of Yi Cha. My wife loved her taro boba tea. I didn't. But it wasn't my order. Despite being a bit let down, I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try this place again when we are in the area. I think they will be great when I stick to something I'd typically order like a boba smoothie. read more

The customer service was great, they welcomed us in and properly answered our questions. The Taro tea with bobba is too sweet for me. I drink bobba tea often and this was the first time the bobba tasted sweet. I saw brown sugar on the menu so maybe it was added to the tea and made it sweet. I like the look inside and the mind body and soul decor. My sistersaid her fruit tea drink was good. read more

I was in need of a boba fix, so dropped by here! I love when boba places have a list of their most popular drinks to help me decide what to get! I kept it safe and ordered a jasmine milk tea with boba at 100% sweetness. The tea itself wasn't too strong and it balanced well with the sweetness from the boba. It cost a little under $7 for the one large size which I feel like is the going rate for boba these days. I'd definitely come by again to try a different tea flavor. They all look so good! read more

We ordered brown sugar boba milk tea, thai milk tea with brown sugar boba, and the matcha latte with brown sugar boba (big brown sugar boba fans). I tried all three and they were AMAZING. If you like sweet boba I would definitely recommend getting 75% sweetness or higher. I got 50% with the thai milk tea and it was good but definitely could have been sweeter. Will definitely be back. read more

The presentation of these teas are nice. The teas are good quality, however it's a tad pricy. Not much traffic inside and music isn't loud like other tea shops. I heard some Korean pop music playing in the background and asked if the owner was Korean. An employee said the owner is Vietnamese and his coworker just happened to like Korean music, so they play it over the speakers. read more

This location is great. Their boba tea is delicious, and they offer a variety of options. Majority of their drinks, they charge extra to boba and other toppings. The tenderness of their boba is consistent. While the price of the drinks are a tad bit more expensive compared to other places, I do enjoy going there when convenient. The atmosphere nice. You often see lots of people hanging out with their laptops while enjoying their refreshments. They do offer complimentary wifi. The service is quick. They don't ask if you want any adjustments to the ice or sweetness level, so if you're like me where you prefer less sugar, be sure to ask. They also offer a rewards program. I did sign up using my phone number, but strangely it also stored my credit card information and identified me by that as well. Was a bit disappointed by that. read more

They have the best coffee that tastes like Vietnamese coffee meets mocha. They call it Yi Cha Coffee. Definitely recommend that drink if you like Vietnamese coffee. I do wish they have better fruit teas or fruity drink. I had their kiwi and basil one and also the tropical one. I was disappointed at the tropical because I didn't expect it to taste so much like an orange drink. I personally don't like orange flavor things. I also tried their mangonada on their grand opening and it shockingly was really good. read more
