Addictea Cafe

Great option for boba in downtown Houston near the convention center. Came here with a group and there wasn't much of a line here. It's located at the bottom of a large office building in a food court-type area. The bubbles were cooked well and I liked their chewy texture and consistency. They have special deals if you order at a certain time, like $3 boba from 1:30pm-3:30pm. Addictea also has real food like Bahn Mi. Anyways, they handled a large complicated order well and service was warm and quick. Would be back if I'm ever in Houston again!

They have a great happy hour price if 3$ per drink before 3 pm on the weekdays. Definitely recommended for the boba obsessed in the downtown area. It is actually in the tunnels, fairly close to the Park Shops. Makes for an easy pit stop on your way back to they office after lunch. Downfalls are that you may have to wait as they aren't loaded up on staff. I wouldn't recommend making the stop without at least 15 minutes on your hands and more if it's during a peak time or you've got a group of people.

For anyone wondering, they are still open! 10:00 am - 1:30 pm. Boba was really good, drink was okay. Solid for when a boba craving hits you while you're at work/in the tunnels area.

Who doesn't love Addic Tea. It's Ridic not to love Addic. I need Addic every day. And I usually get Addic right when I want it. I know you love getting Addic too. Amirite?What to get: Lemon Tea, or anything reallyWhere the hell is it: Park by First City Tower, 1001 Fannin, then go underground.What's First City Tower: It's the place where your mother conceived you with the mailman.What?: You were too young to remember. You were only a wee little sperm.One of Houston's very best bubble tea shops, and one of the hardest to find! Discounting the international chains (of which Sharetea is the best) you're left with 3 incredible Bubble Tea shops to try (and plenty of other good ones). Tapioca Place may be the best (and has the best sandwiches), but Teahouse (a local chain) has the best selection and pushes close for the crown, especially the location at Shepherd & Westheimer. But there is a third, and oft-unheralded, competitor for this crown. Addictea.It's hidden away in the tunnels of Underground Houston. It's genuinely hard to find. The star of the menu is the amazing Lemon Tea. It's spectacular. If you want a special deal on it, you can go after 3 (but before closing at 4 Mon-Wed or 5 Thu-Fri) each day, and it's a dollar or so cheaper.As I said above, you need to go to 1001 Fannin and park, then go underground from the entrance to the tunnels at that building, and Addictea will be right there.It's a strange shape... short and fat like my current favourite girlfriend. It makes the bubble tea a little easier to handle and harder to spill. Almost makes it look bigger in a weird way.I can't describe why this Lemon Tea (and many of their others) are better than the competition. It's something subtle and sexy in the flavour. It's hard to put my finger on it. And it's hard when I put my finger on it, sometimes. Maybe it's the honey boba. But I would give it 10 stars if I could. The Milk teas are also good.Addic Tea tastes ridic good, and better than you'd think Addic would.

I got a taro cream blend during the happy hour deal ($3 for all drinks plus one free topping) and was rather disappointed. The taro flavor is really artificial and the drink is very watery (despite being a cream blend). The boba pearls were good though.

Wow Texas has pretty good Viet Bahn Mi. Found this place through YELP and was delighted. We walked from office all the way to Fannin Street then realized that this place is in the tunnels. So we ended up going into one of the business building. I ordered the grill pork bahn mi. I was delicious. Would be better if there were more sauces. I got a combo with it so it came with a drink for $7.99 (I think I saved $0.50 from getting the combo). I got the passion fruit yogurt drink. I like the drink but only issue was that its a bit too sweet. My colleague got the chicken Bahn Mi Sandwich and 2 salad rolls to go with it. his was a combo as well. It's a bit more expensive compared to mine. He also agreed that it would be better if there were more sauces. He said the salad roll was really good. Overall, I highly recommend this place. Its a wow for Bahn Mi. Also noticed that there is not a lot of veggies in their sandwich like most food you get in Texas. Seems like veggies is a high commodity

This place brings out my tranquili-tea.No, it's not a super nice boba shop with board games and sugar options. But boba in the tunnel downtown Houston - whaaat? Yes please! It's in the first city tower in the corner of Lamar and Fannin where you can take the escalator downstairs to the tunnel. I usually come for tea in the afternoon when they have $3 any boba tea with one topping. There are usually 2,3 people working but they're pretty slow. Their drinks are more on the sweeter side. But you know what, it's better than ordering from Teahouse on Favor and paying $10 for delivering + tip when you're having a boba tea craving at work. Fav: Sea salt green tea - delicious foam!

Very decent little milk tea shop in downtown Houston. Milk tea options are standard, nothing is special, but pricing is great. Between 1:30 - 3:30pm, it's their happy hour so their drinks are $3 including toppings. There's no sweetness or ice level adjustment stated on their menu, but you can always ask them to lower the sweetness to 50%, which makes the drinks better.

This review is specifically for the drinks, and they are a welcome addition to the tunnels! It's not a far walk from the Shops at Houston Center tunnel entrance, which is how I approach.I visit during happy hour 1-3 pm daily and get a mango slush with tapioca for a mere $3. As far as bubble tea places go, that's a real bargain! They don't have as an extensive of a flavor menu as Teahouse or a drink-focused place, but they offer the most popular options like mango, strawberry, taro, and pineapple. They also have honey boba, bursting boba, jellies and all the other add-ins. So far my favorite flavor has been the taro. The cups they serve the drinks in are wider rather than tall, and you easily get 20 ounces of drink.The service is always super friendly, and they give you a loyalty card so you'll get a free drink after buying 10.Because of the convenience and price, this is easily my favorite afternoon snack destination in downtown.

Great tea! I love the location.It's cool to drink Asian tea in the tunnel! You can go here from Houston Center.
