7 Leaves Cafe

One of the best green Thai teas I've had in Houston so far! The boba isn't the best all the time. The staff is always friendly and helpful when I go. It's a smaller shop with not a lot of tables or loud music. The parking situation is less than desirable. There are a lot of other shops in the strip and parking can be a bit hectic.

I don 't often leave bad reviews until they are really earned, but this place crossed that line.Context: we drink boba/teas all over Houston, so we have certain expectations of chains to perform similarly... This location just fails miserably compared to its former self and other 7leaves in Houston.Twice now, with intervals of a week, we ordered the same exact Jasmine tea that we always do, and it comes out like a disgustingly sweet syrupee water with little tea and an overload of sugar. Now, the staff is generally nice enough to swap the drink out for a different drink after attempting to explain that that 's just how it 's made ... but even a sip of this nastiness ruins taste buds for the foreseeable future until you get home and brush your teeth.I am not sure if management ran off all decent employees they used to have and hired some overfed at night gremlins, but the quality of menu item #1 has gone from consistently good to plain disgusting.We were often here since it 's across from Costco, but from now on if I want 7leaves, I will drive all the way to Bellaire to get it.DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION!Parking: Good Luck

I ordered the Thai tea with boba and it’s delicious! I recommend ordering it. This experience was quick! They make your orders fast I recommend going here if you want boba.

Delicious house coffee and the oolong tea was a perfect amount of sweetness and tea.

I have a love hate relationship with this location. The drinks are always really good and I always know every time I get something, it will be good. I like to come back cause I like them, but it’s more an issue with the staff. I notice more times more than others, they’ve seem to lag in their day to day tasks. I’ve noticed this especially with their app service that gives you the option to order ahead. I try to do this cause it is a bit convenient on my way to work, but then I’ve begun to realize that they don’t make your drink till you get there which really defeats the point of ordering it ahead, especially if you are trying to utilize the service because you don’t have enough time to be in the shop but it does make it more convenient. I’ve also noticed they don’t seem to do all the prep needed before an opening shift and results to delays in orders as a whole at times. One of the main instances I noticed is the tapioca itself. You would assume that is already ready and prepped by the time that the shop opens, or at least within the first half hour max. Nearly every time I’ve come into the shop within the first hour and a half and I order tapioca (which isn’t often but it’s often enough to notice), they don’t have it prepped and it really doesn’t make sense when that is one of the main toppings for choice for most people. I don’t know if it’s an understaffing issue or not enough pay at this location, but the location generally doesn’t receive heavy foot traffic to cause that issue cause every single time I’ve gone in, there are no more than 3 clients max and most of said clients are just utilizing the space. It’s happened enough times to notice. I just think the staff needs to be a little bit better with time allocating, but like I said, I truly do enjoy this place and always have a great experience otherwise.
