Boba Cafe

Recently moved to the area to start school and I instantly fell in love with this place! It’s clean as my house (👀y’all know) and everything is just perfection from the moment you’re greeted like family at the door, to the well timed casual conversation that’s bundled with an incredibly delicious meal 🤤(that lil lady be cooking) and finally, the warm farewells that ensures safe passage home that ultimately leaves you with the feeling that, it’s A okay to come back anytime (within hours operation if course😁)

This little mom and pop shop sits adjacent to Houston Community College Central, where it’s been serving food and boba. I was greeted by a sweet grandmotherly figure as I walked in. It’s entirely possible that she has been running this restaurant for years, if one were to guess by the site of older cafeteria tables, peeling sections of table, and a mismatch of faded menu item pictures. This is certainly no flashy or fancy location, nor was my honeydew melon smoothie the best I’ve ever had. I will admit I killed half my smoothie before getting home with my girl’s milktea lol. Haven’t tried the food yet but, it’s a decent spot with decent prices. Worth a look especially as it’s convenient for anyone taking classes at HCC. Plus discounts are given to all HCC students. I will have to let y’all know how my girl likes her milk tea after she tries it.

I only got fries and boba here for me and my kids, so I can't speak to the quality of the actual food. The fries were okay. One kid thought thier boba was fine, but did say it gave her a stomach ache. The other said it was too sweet. Mine was made with some sort of weird packet of tea that was not the black tea I asked for. The customer service was good and they remade it for me when they noticed I was not happy (believe it or not I'm not the type to complain) The replacement was watery and tasted like tap water. The best / worst part was, I took mine with me and about 15 minutes later went to get a drink to discover a hole was punched in the cup, because they serve it in styrofoam. I don't remember the last time I punched a hole in a styrofoam cup... Tea water filled drink holders in my car was a hilarious cap to the experience. I'll stick with the Teahouse. 😁
