Boba Island

Very cool! I stopped in for a good study spot and really wasn't expecting much. Service was okay, but I did see some of the other workers come and help some other guests, and they were much friendlier, harboring a more welcoming experience. Perhaps the person who took my order was just a little shy. Oh well. As for the interior, it's quite nice. They provide outlets to work, bathrooms (only for guests- otherwise it remains locked), and a small claw game (which I loved watching people play).I ordered an avocado smoothie, a kiwi green tea with basil seeds, and popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken was definitely worth it. The portion size was generous and came with sweet and spicy sauce, which I love! It's not everyday popcorn chicken comes with some Viet influence. The avocado smoothie was all ice, unfortunately. I really expected it to be an actual smoothie, so I'm a little disappointed with that. Other than that, it was great!

I am writing this review as I sip on a delicious boba filled drink on a dream island, perhaps it is, a Boba Island. Boba Island is a great boba shop, with good food, drinks, and drive-thru availability. My friend and I typically frequent this spot since they have wi-fi, and close at 11pm. The interior is small, but cozy, and they also have an outdoor patio with seating. They have plenty of options all around on the menu, I'm a sucker for the popcorn chicken whenever a snack is needed. When I need that pick me-up, I'd definitely go for a Vietnamese Coffee.Be warned, for card usage, they ask that you spend at least 8 bucks, or they charge you an extra fee on your tab! Good snacks, plenty of drink options, good service, and an overall great spot!

Highlander came from the Boba HighlandSTP came from Boba Scott WeilandOne If By Sea, Two If Boba By LandAnd if you want Coffee, come to Boba Island!What.One of the best Boba shops in Houston, not so much for the boba, but perhaps for the coffee and the Yin Yang. They're great, largely because they make great Vietnamese coffee and they can mix it with the milk tea, and they're open late (11pm nightly and they don't kick you out early, sometimes not for awhile after closing), and they have a drive-thru and they usually have friendly service, and you can hang out in here or on the patio, and have been able to do so for a long time, almost since the start of coronavirus. So BI scores very high.Of course I don't like the way they add $0.50 to fill the cup up if you get no ice, but I don't really care because the products are great, and that's how it goes with Vietnamese drink spots usually. Top-notch all the way.If it were located in Hollywood in 1950, it'd be Bogart Island. If it were owned by generous lawyers, it'd be Pro Bono Island. When they put Xmas decorations up, it's Bauble Island. If it sold North African items, it'd be Berber Island. If it were in Dublin and was only open on Sunday (Bloody Sunday), it'd be Bono Island. And when I go there with Barbie, it's Boner Island.This, however, is one of the best Boba places on the island of Houston, TX. They have a drive thru. They have outside seating. Vietnamese, and it shows in the best way, when it comes to their coffees. They have a drive-thru too.Did I mention they have a drive thru.What to get: Yin Yang Milk TeaWhat not to get: Yin Yang Twins albumsWhy not: Because they're almost as bad as G-EasyWhy do you write stupid reviews: G Easy on me please(Btw they have a drive thru)If it were near Tahiti, it'd be Borabora Island. If nobody ever came here, it'd be Boring Island. If it were between Alaska and Russia, it'd be Bering Island. If it were a bike shop, it'd be Ballbearing Island. If it were Barbie's Sub clients it'd be Ballgag Island.Boba Island is one of my favourite little places in the Houston area to get Vietnamese iced Coffee and also some good lemonades and some nice boba drinks. They have a half and half coffee/milk tea hybrid known as "yin yang" which is excellent and the straight-up be enemies coffee is strong and delicious as well. They make one of the best in town. It's a city with masses of the enemies stuff so for me to say this is one of the best Vietnamese coffees is a big deal.If Saget, Hope, Dole, Dylan, Marley and Evans (of restaurant fame) were trapped on Maui, that'd be "Bob Island." This is not that. Thank f***ing god.The disadvantages that it's way out in the middle of nowhere. Not nowhere but a good couple of miles west of Saigon Plaza and done playing along Bellaire. So it has a good location but doesn't get as much traffic. As a places a couple of miles east. It's cute and adorable really really friendly workers and good prices and they even have a drive-thru! You can't get much better than Boba Island.No Boba is an island, but Boba is a belly. Words to live by.Barbie says: "I love the coffee at Boba Island! Very fancy restroom." And I say I love the Barbie at Boba Island, and Barbie is very fancy so she would know.And if Barbie owned it, it'd be Booba Island. But she basically lives here, so it may as well be.

Nice hidden gem! Boba Island is one of my favorite places in Houston for drinks & Egg Puffs! It's a small, nice & clean place. Sometimes the service takes a little while but it's definitely worth it! I highly suggest trying the Ice Cream Egg Puff and the Passion Fruit Punch! I love visiting for a nice night treat & drink!

What a cute place called Boba Island. Especially during CoVid-19 pandemic, when people demanded outdoor dining. I always find myself sitting on the patio getting tanned.Boba Island is a standalone building situated across from Wells Fargo drive-thru ATM. I first noticed this place during nighttime hunting for food. I ended up at this strip mall called Santa Fe Shopping Center, where Pho Binh at Night and TeaTalk are located.My first time here, I ordered a Nuoc Mat (supposed to be artichoke drink but they called it Herbal Drink) with mongo boba. I was not impressed. But I like the mango flavored crystal boba. Then, toward the end, I found some real piece of lychee. What a surprise.I'm going to get more surprises next time when it's sunny again on a Saturday afternoon.

Hmmm I'm actually surprised their popcorn chicken is pretty good :) I like getting boba and chicken without having to change or go inside

Very cute and nice vibe. Drinks come out fast and food is made to order so may take a second but definitely worth the wait.

My first time here and very happy with the chrysanthemum milk tea! I love chrysanthemum tea on its own, but I have never had it with milk tea. The mix of flavors was delightful and I could really taste the flowery chrysanthemum. I ordered it 50% sweet but could probably even go down to 25%. I usually order 50-75% at muse and share tea if that provides a frame of reference. I don't like my teas overwhelmingly sweet. The large cup is about the height of an iPhone 13 and the price (without toppings) was under $4. Super reasonable price for a milk tea shop - probably one of the lowest I've seen in a while. Giving it a 4 until I can try more drinks. The chrysanthemum milk tea was a 5/5. Definitely worth a revisit!

Amazing, Tasanee helped me getting the drink just how I like it, sweet, suckable, and delicious. The staff is amazing and made the drink fairly quickly, would recommend the place and getting the drink with Tasanee, such a beautiful girl.

I just had the worst experience of my life at a place of business, The girl that called herself the manager and the boy that was working at the drive through both called me names and cussed me out. Go someplace else if you don't like disrespect. Never againUpdate! The girl stalked and found me on Facebook just to bully me, lol. The in person bullying was not enough, look at the screenshot I attached to see what she said. This is what I got for patronizing them. I didn't even know her name before! She just exposed herself!
