Tealicious

Nice environment and great tasting tapioca balls here; sweet and chewy! Cash only people.

No tea to be found here, only powder.
Tealicious made me the first milk tea that I physically haven’t been able to drink. I’ve had a lot of bad milk teas, but this was seriously impressive. My Almond Milk Tea was so powdery, there were actually chunks of undissolved powder floating around in my drink… what?!.
I took a few sips and all I could feel was powder getting stuck in my throat. Even worse, it tasted exactly like almond milk creamer with added sugar. If there was any tea at all in here, there was never any hope for it.
Worse still, the tapioca was just… mush. Not bad chewyness, maybe only just a bit overcooked to me, but very obviously old and soaked for way too long. The mushyness of the tapioca paired well with the powder in the drink.
I just threw $ 3.50 down the toilet but that’s okay, I won’t be back. There’s absolutely no reason to come here when you have nearby: Infuzion Tea Bar, I Heart Boba, Tapioca Master, and Heavenly Beverages. Closing at 6 pm and taking cash only also helps the decision.

I know most have already said it but BEWARE: cash only. It’s my fault I forget 85% of the time but it’s not on my mind because it’s not Chinatown. Anyways, they’re friendly to you until they realize you have no cash. Then they cast you aside for the next customer. When you do have cash, the drinks are alright.

I love this place. I go just about every week. The drinks are good and so are the prices. Only draw back they only take cash. Customer service is average.

Biggest perk is that it is nearby. But definitely nothing outstanding.

There are a lot varieties on their drink menu. The price is cheap and they offer two different sizes. Their tapioca are chewy however not as flavorful as the other boba places that I go to. However it’s one of the better one up north.

I came here over the weekend since we had to pick up some groceries at HK4. I got the milk tea while the hubs got the coffee. Their milk tea was ok. Not the best I’ve had but it’s doable. Tapioca was chewy with a little sweetness to it. Hubs said that his coffee tasted like chocolate milk… forgot if I had a swig of it… but it did look pretty rich. Customer service-wise…there was only one girl running the fort. She seemed a little timid but nice… she didn’t come off that rude or anything. Sucks that they do only take cash… but I like that they have two size options. Total came out to be around $ 7.34 for a small milk tea and a large viet coffee.

The drink sizes they have are reasonable and affordable. Their drinks are good and the tapioca too. BUT, when the service and the tone of a worker comes off as rude, it ruins everything. I’ll give it two stars for the drinks. The workers and the owner however, deserve 0 stars. I have never met any type of worker or owner that treats their customers like that. They don’t smile or greet you they just stare and look at you all funny while you’re deciding what to drink. And they close at 6… like what? And they don’t take credit card… they need to get with it and accept credit card becuz it’s the 20^th century.

My first time here with my family and we all LOVED it! We ordered the lychee and passion fruit real fruit slush, which were super fruity and delicious with real fruit pulp. We ordered the strawberry and vanilla smoothies with boba, which were both delicious as well. But the real winner was the iced royal milk tea! That was the most delicious drink EVER!!! Enough said!
**They do, by the way, have the best boba pearls I’ve ever tasted! Maybe it was just our lucky day? Perfectly cooked, chewy, no bite to it, just dang perfect! It went so well with their already delicious drinks!

The drinks are good! The woman working the counter was nice and fast service! My favorites is the watermelon/​strawberry slush! My sisters and mom have tried their other flavors and loved them! Down side they only accept cash and they close early.

Again I can only judge them on how my drink came out. I got the black tea with passion fruit and extra Tapioca Pearls. I’m in love with it. The service was great. The woman working the counter was rude but wasn’t overly nice either. She kept a smile on her face the whole time. Now the one making the drink wasnt friendly at all but she wasn’t rude it. Just very dry and not a normal I guess you would call Texans lol. Could be back she was in high and was ready to go home from work so I’m not holding it against her.

I give them a 3. They would have gotten a 4 or 5 but I noticed some ting that turned me off big time! I got large watermelon juice and for one it wasn’t filled up all the way. For 2 this is the main reason they get a 3. I saw them putting in this clear liquid and I asked what’s that. They said sugar for flavor. are you fucking kidding me? Defeats the whole Damm purpose of drinking a healthy clean drink! They should ask the client I’d they want that nasty ass. Sugar/​corn syrup.

— Only accepts cash
— only open until 6? Really? Most of us commute out of North Houston for work/​school. I love boba but they just lost my business because I never get home before 7pm.
— No wifi.
Nah.

It’s as good as any other tapioca place but the reason I would rate them so low is because they only accept cash, which can be inconvenient for a lot of us nowadays.

Cash only. The taro drink I had was too sweet. There’s not enough ice on the drinks. I probably would not go back and I wouldn’t recommend this place. I Heart Boba is way better.

workers are rude, owner is rude, the old lady who works there is the owners mom and she is also rude. nobody ever smiles or say hi, they are super stingy with their tapioca and doesnt put as much in. use half a scoop for a small and one scoop or boba for a large. seriously, are you that cheap? other places put a full scoop and 2 scoop for a large. drinks are ok but i will never come back

The staff is very nice, the drinks are so tasty! The only thing is that they do not accept credit cards so make sure you bring some cash, otherwise I would give it 5 stars

There’s not many tapioca places up north.
Coming here is for desperate boba craves. Yeah, I have that.
I don’t really like it, but it’s decent comparing that there are not many other places that have it. The cashier seemed annoyed, so I just wanted to get out of her way. I asked the difference between royal milk tea and milk tea, and she said she didn’t like the royal as much. So tip: just stick to milk teas.
The boba was smushy and tasted a little overdone. I had the jasmine milk tea and it was really bland, I assume they use the powder? I think they added way too much water. I guess the craving is… sorta satisfied?

I’m not a big fan of tapioca or jellies. I know, It’s just unnatural, but I love milk tea! I grabbed a chai milk tea here (because it sounded pretty interesting) and it was good! I like it. It reminded me of the chai tea that I get from Starbucks.
I’ve had the regular milk tea and it’s pretty decent as well. The price is alright and the drinks are alright, but I wouldn’t rave about this place. I think I was way too spoiled by Momoko in Austin. That’s my gold standard for milk tea and macha green tea in the States.

Boy, I MUST agree with our fellow Unilocalers… the service was bad. I barely see an actual smile on their face. This time was no exception. NO SMILING. So, this 4 stars only give to their drinks and so not for the service.
We ordered Durian Avocado (for those never have durian before or don’t like it, DON’T attempt to try it since it has very strong smell), Coconut Milk Tea (boy, it was good), and Coconut Vanilla Snow. They were good. They had artificial flavor, but they’re good. My overall favorite is Coconut Milk Tea.
MORE SMILING IS A MUST!!!
