The Teahouse Tapioca and Tea
506 Yale St, Houston, TX
Crema's Take
“This Houston spot specializes in creative cream tea drinks where you can customize everything from sweetness levels to toppings like their signature poppins (lychee and raspberry are customer favorites), making each visit feel personalized. The vibe is genuinely family-friendly with parents bringing kids who love flavors like hazelnut cream tea with tapioca, and the drinks consistently arrive fresh and satisfying. Beyond the impressive tea program, they've thoughtfully added light bites like vegetable egg rolls to round out the experience, though service can be inconsistent during busy times.”

Love I can customize my blended cream tea drink and the poppins (lychee or raspberry are faves)
I ordered a Taro Cream Tea (extra sweet) and it tasted really good! The cashier mentioned they had vegetable egg rolls available, so I decided to add that to my order but after confirming, she realized they were actually out of them. Later, I received a survey from the store, and after completing it, I got a text saying they don’t carry vegetable egg rolls at all… It seems the employees might not be fully aware of the menu items, which could have been an honest mistake on the cashier’s part. That said, I really enjoyed my drink and would come back to try another cream tea!
Just left the store and now I’m going back because there is a hair in my drink. I don’t usually leave bad reviews but for the time it took for me to receive my order (over 10 minutes of waiting on a single drink) this is definitely not a welcome sight.
Drinks here always fresh and super hydrating. I bring my daughter with me and she’s a fan of the hazelnut cream tea with tapioca. On this visit I ordered the peach oolong tea sweetened with stevia and served with tapioca. Two yummy boba drinks for under 13 dollars. Do recommend.
I have been a long term fan of Teahouse as I had visited several throughout Houston, however this was my first time visiting this location. When I first came in, it was empty and should a beautiful set up. I can for a busy study day while preparing for my medical boards and was happy and the quite ambiance. After a few hours, it got a little rowdier as teenagers and some families took pictures on the swing with their tea, but it wasn't overly distracting. The tea was great. I just went with a milk tea and mango poppers. Their was only a few tables but a large, taller table that I sat at. Outlets were close but, again, it wasn't busy. Staff were nice and the bathrooms were clean. All in all, no major complaints. It was beautiful inside, definitely Instagram-able. I liked the tea. And enough study space when it's not busy, perfect for a chiller work day. I think if you really need to concentrate, I would choose another coffee shop nearby.
