Bobarista

They have yummy drinks & egg waffles. The place is welcoming with natural light, music, and games to play. The service is pretty good. My only complaint is sometimes they move fast when you're paying. As a result, I can't put my phone number in to collect points or text my receipt.

There is so much boba in Houston that even in a parking lot next to my favorite casual Vietnamese place (#1), there are options like Bobarista. As far as I know it, they're not a chain and the branding is definitely on point. Given their success over the last year, I wouldn't be surprised if another location found it's way somewhere around South Houston. For now, this place is solid enough to be a repeat customer, which is what I've been the last few months now.Located in the heart of the growing Little Saigon (#2) enclave, Bobarista is definitely an Asian owned and the staff is definitely very strong on the Viet front. The place is absurdly clean, almost like the place is new. Bathrooms and WiFI are in very good standing, which makes this place an ideal study / work spot as well.My strawberry matcha wasn't the best looking drink but thankfully the taste beat out the aesthetics. It isn't the premium drink that has captured the nation, but certainly better than other similar versions at other boba spots. I tend to prefer their milk tea over the fruit tea, with the green milk and coffee milk tea being the overall go-tos.They also serve mangonadas and the peach orange lemongrass is somewhat underrated. I also strangely like their sodas, with the mojito, strawberry, and house signature Bobarista soda. I haven't dived down the smoothie route yet, but I sense I'll be doing that again soon.The staff looks bored often. There isn't a lot of people here that often, so I am hoping that it'll change soon. For now, I still give them a thumbs up and hope I can learn to indulge in other items to keep me coming back. ___________(#1) Viet Food To Go: https://www.yelp.com/biz/viet-food-to-go-houston(#2) South Belt Ellington Lil Saigon.

So happy I decided to drop in for the first time. I ordered the brown sugar milk tea. It comes with boba but they were out. I wasn't sure what to order instead. He suggested getting it with the flan like pudding. I would have never ever tried that but I told him I trusted him. OMG soooo good! Who knew?!?? The cashier was super sweet. Cute shop as well.

The quality of the drinks is as good as the posh ones in Chinatown. The quality of the cups are surprisingly nice, almost like the plastic cups you would buy at starb*cks.

It's been a while since we came to this Boba spot. Man, it's stepped up it's game. With so many boba places now a days. Some miss there mark - Not This Place. Thai Tea Taro Milk Smoothie Mango Fruit Tea . Most boba places are too sweet and over shadow the Tea in their drinks. Not this place. This place reminds me of the legit boba places. Love this gem. 10/10 recommend! All the drinks were fire People are sweet and friendly. Good spot to drink and hang out too.

Well here it goes,,,cute little place. Several times I enjoyed and ordered one item "fried chicken wings". I'm not a fast food chicken type but on the weekends, I'm in the area and i would make it a point to pick up a order. Twice this one person was snobbish which i've dismissed. But This one annoying thing about those wings,,,of the 2 half months of going there - they don't have the wings to sell. That's insane! With a Food giant grocery next door and huge Hong Kong grocery store across the street! How do you not want to sell this item on your menu! Come on owner or mgmt, either take it off your menu (pls don't) or keep it stocked for customers like me to order,,,please, thanks!

I've always considered myself a boba connoisseur and my golly... this place right here I will say is on the TOP and is now my new favorite go-to. Our first time here and I'm feeling adventurous. I ordered the peach orange lemongrass (with crystal boba), strawberry matcha (with crystal boba) for my kiddo, and the taro milk to (with boba) for my hubby. That one with the lemongrass is ah-mazing!! I've never had anything like this before. It's not super sweet and the flavors blended perfectly. My kiddo, who was NEVER a tea drinker drank the whole strawberry matcha. The strawberry was a very interesting addition to the matcha taste. And the taro milk tea is fantastic. Yea, I get to sip from their cups too!I can't wait to try the other flavors!! Y'all, this is THE ultimate boba experience for me. Super love it! Great job to the bobarista!!

Can't go wrong with a coke and refreshing tea on a hot day! Staff was nice, place was clean & has cute photo ops!

The strawberry banana smoothie was really good with honey boba. The people there were very nice and helpful. The place was really stylish with retro paintings. The workers there are really nice. Loved it!
