Malaysian Boba Tea Shop Daboba Will Open in Houston | Eater Houston

"A Malaysian-born milk-tea chain founded in 2018 that is expanding across the U.S.; this will be its first Texas outpost in Houston. The shop is known for making its boba pearls fresh in-house and for a signature roasted brown sugar pearl fresh milk — a decadent drink loaded with brown sugar boba, finished with a creamy foam layer and torched brown sugar. The menu also includes fruit teas, green tea topped with cheese foam, golden milk tea with honey boba, yogurt-based beverages, and cocoa frappes. An opening date for the Houston location has not yet been announced, but the store is slated to open in the coming months as part of a broader U.S. expansion." - Amy McCarthy

Daboba is my favorite spot to visit after dinner in the Bellaire area. It’s a warm and welcoming place that serves excellent smoothies and milk teas. My personal favorite is the Avocado Smoothie — a delicious blend of avocado and yogurt that sets Daboba apart from other tea shops. It’s a unique treat that keeps me coming back every time I’m in the neighborhood.

Had a nice time with my friends tonight! :) Had a brown sugar milk tea with 50% sugar and it was on the spot! I like the cozy environment and supportive staffs! Enjoyed my visit there! Will be there again! Keep up the good work! My friend got mango yogurt something and it was good stuff as well! Come and enjoy 😉 Cheers 🥂

My new favorite spot! They suggested a 25% sweetness for the roasted brown sugar matcha & I couldn’t have agreed. It was perfect, not overly sweet the matcha was a bit overpowered by the rest of the drink but overall still very tasty. Hubby per usual got a non tea drink which was the roasted brown sugar fresh milk, he enjoyed it as is with sweetness. Second time around he got the mango yakult 10000/10!

Yummy drinks, fairly clean atmosphere, and the service is really nice! I think the lady that comes out to greet me or ask me about my drink is the manager so it's really nice to see her care so much! 10/10 coming back again! Drink recommendation: Brown sugar milk tea (roasted)

The drinks are yummy but they can work on their customer service. When you want people to frequent your establishment on a consistent basis, you have to be kind. I will say that the Vietnamese iced coffee with the crème brûlée floater is delicious!

This Malaysian boba shop has done a great job with building their franchise recognized by their cute grizzly bear logo. Their menu has many different series of drinks, but I couldn't really tell what the difference was between some of them. It would be really nice if they could put a brief description next to each series. My friend always gets oolong tea from boba shops because he says it is a pretty consistent and safe choice. Unfortunately, the oolong tea he got here tasted off. I tried it, and it had an unpleasant taste. He described it as the taste of tree bark. I got the brown sugar pearl matcha, which was $7 for the tiny medium size. If I had the stomach capacity for it, the large size would definitely have been more worth the value. I liked the combination of the matcha with the brown sugar, although it was too sweet at 50% sugar. They didn't have an option for 25%. I also didn't see an option for milk substitutions on the menu. We came here to study/work, and the chairs were surprisingly very comfortable. They have some outlets along the wall. The music was too loud, however, and they kept repeating their playlist of ~15 pop hit songs. I started to get irritated from hearing Baby by Justin Bieber and Stitches by Shawn Mendes play on repeat. The wifi was a little slow but not too bad. I liked the animal plushie decor. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the restrooms and how they weren't just singles. They were locked for quite a while after we got there before an employee went to unlock them though, which was strange.

This place is so so cute! My family and I came here after lunch for a post meal treat and it did not disappoint. The place is "bear" themed so the boba cup itself had the usual plastic top but then a bear ear plastic dome top which I thought was so adorable. Great decor and friendly service. The boba itself was yummy too. We got the Thai tea flavor 75% sugar, less ice with boba. The boba was fresh, warm, and soft. The Thai tea had great flavor!

I frequent this place, but yesterday will be my last. The drinks are solid, but the customer services was NOT IT. Normally the staff is pretty nice, but when they're under the micro management of the owner's eyes...everything just go downhill. Yesterday i was there and they mistake my large order for a small, i was told it would be an up-charge. Fair. Only for me to see all they did with my small was pouring it into the larger cup and adding MORE ICE. And handed it back to me... This is not how you should run a business. Im disappointed. WILL NOT RETURN!

A lovely late night boba spot in Houston! My friends and I were craving boba at like 10:30 pm during a weekday and this was essentially one of the only spots still open on a Thursday. The interior is super pretty, and there was a huge crowd here just hanging outside where there was music playing. There's also plenty of options to order, where you can customize sweetness and ice levels. I got the Fruity Party, and it was super delicious and refreshing (I ended up using it as a chaser for soju too lol). The staff were super helpful answering our group's questions as well. The decor inside is super cute too, with claw machines and some sticker slot machines too. Overall, if you're looking for a late night spot in Houston to grab some quick boba (with real authentic tea used), check this spot out!

Another bubble milk tea drink in an over populated Vietnamese food, desserts and drinks blocks and shopping area. There several tables indoors and outside. I ordered the pearl milk tea drink with my usual regular ice and 50% sugar. The drink is good. Service is friendly and quick.

Happy to finally have tried this place - it has a really spacious interior and a large variety of inventive drinks. Add on to that super friendly service and Daboba is da-winner! I got one of their special shooting star series refreshers that mixed lemonade and butterfly pea flower for a beautiful ombre look - get it for the gram and the taste! Parking: easy as Daboba is located in a large strip center with tons of parking spots.

Our drinks were good! One of my kids got something that tasted like horrible chocolate milk. We asked for replacement or even discount after spending $40 already. They said they can't do that. Customer service is lost? Very sad. I liked this place, won't come back.

Very cute vibes at this recently-opened bear-themed boba shop in Houston's Little Saigon! We ordered the Roasted Brown Sugar Milk Tea and the Japanese Roasted Milk Tea, both of which were very tasty while not being too sweet. Our drinks came out very quickly and the servers were very friendly. The chill ambience with bear decorations and also plentiful seating make this a great place to grab some boba and relax or get some work done if you're in the area!

I got the roasted brown sugar drink with milk and boba. I enjoyed it but didn't really notice the roasted part vs the normal version. I do enjoy their boba as it's the right amount of chewy. They are fairly quick, but the pricing is a bit on the high side.

Daboba sits between 3-4 stars for me. We got the brown sugar boba fresh milk, which was comparable to xingfutang. I loved that it wasn't too sweet and the boba was nice and chewy too. My partner got the honey golden pearl green milk tea, which was also solid- nicely sweetened with chewy honey boba. My biggest complaint about daboba are the small sizes and the more expensive price per oz compared to other boba places. Also, the drinks didn't really stick out to me to warrant going back, especially with the ever growing boba scene in houston, but it was a nice treat to try. Inside has many tables for work and studying!

I visited here one Sunday, and it was pretty busy. They have a numbering system on a digital sign to let you know when your order is ready. I wanted to try it and see if it was as good as the location in Chicago. They are rated much higher there, although they have less competition, so maybe thats why. Currently, they are only averaging 3.9 stars on yelp. I ordered the roasted brown sugar yam milk tea, Japanese roasted milk tea, and honey golden pearl green tea. Pretty good and I would say they're are fairly comparable to the location of visited in Chicago. It is a chain afterall.

If you have an Audi, Nissan or ROVER If you come from Wilmington Delaware (or DOVER) If you like red dude on Sesame St (GROVER) If your hot gf just said it was OVER Don't you worry cause you'll find anOTHER In the meantime let tapioca be your LOVER Before you see a girl and want to disROBE HER Come and get a Milk Tea from DABOBA WHAT What to get: I love the milk tea What not to get: The gift that keeps on giving One of the very best Boba shops in Texas, with wonderful owners and lovely employees, especially the one girl who is a dear friend of mine. I haven't seen her since before my trips, and I miss her. They serve excellent Maltese - I mean milk teas, not falcons - with delicious tapioca. This is one of the best chains around, and it's awesome that it's Malaysian, cuz you get a different taste here from a lot of the Taiwanese and Vietnamese Boba shops around here. I've tried this one, as well as locations near Hobby (SE Houston) as well as Brooklyn and Chicago, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them, from their products to their service to their beautiful decor, and I absolutely love hanging out here as well. In fact, I think we need a nice rap to properly describe this amazing place. I snuck into this place cause they left the door AJAR The glass almost hit me, could have left a SCAR The decor was so fancy, like a RENOIR They even had a music dude, playing GUITAR The counter was a long one, like a BOBA BAR And like OMC, I said, HOW BIZARRE When it was time to leave I said AU REVOIR And told everyone about the BOBA at DA From the sands of Morocco and the Marrakesh BAZAAR To the bloated billionaires playing Golf at MAR (A LAGO) Who are so in bed with Russia you can call them TSAR And betting 1 mil they can stay under PAR While the hot golf girls drive the little golf CAR And knowing Donald, she used to be an adult STAR But from Africa to Florida, wherever you ARE You won't get better than the BOBA at DA So you wanna eat more White Castle than KUMAR Talk more politics than BILL MAHER Write better novels than JOHN LE CARRE Bribe more FIFAs than QATAR Be a famous drummer like RINGO STARR Then sit around, get high, playing SITAR And yell at Fox E like Kareem Abdul JABAR Well first you better go and get a BOBA from DA WHAT So, DaBoba is probably one of the best Boba shops I've ever been to, and this location has poignant memories for me, because I found one of the most wonderful cats - who is now one of my lovely children - here in this Plaza when I was visiting this boba shop. Her/his name is Ellie. And so many other great memories. I also was here when I found out my mother was dying, I was here when I bought the ticket to go home to England after 8 years away, I have spent a lot of time here over the past couple of years. Also, some of the most beautiful people in Houston come here, several are friends with the owners, a couple are friends with Barbi and I (mainly Barbi, probably), so you might get lucky and see some really gorgeous people drinking Boba when you're here. And you'll love it here, almost as much as Steve Buscemi loves being quirky. And if you ask a Russian girl that loves Boba where to get a good Milk Tea, expect her to say "Da, Darling." Of course she's referring to DaBoba on Bellaire. What did you think she was referring to. So if the Premier League is still corrupt with VAR And if it looks wrong to film L.A. in NOIR For the best Milk Tea that I've had so FAR Come and get a BOBA here at DA WHAT

The staff was super friendly, helpful and attentive. The store was clean and well decorate; however, it was a little bit noisy. The drinks range from $6 to $7, but they don't have many options to choose. I got the golden boba milk tea with extra boba. Milk tea tasted decent, but the boba was super soft and pasty.

Was looking for a boba place while visiting Houston and found Daboba! I really liked this place. Nice and clean space with plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor. Boba was cooked perfectly, good and chewy texture, slightly sweetened too. I loved their brown sugar matcha. Made no adjustment on the drink and it was perfect. You can really taste the matcha, which was earthy. The strawberry yogurt was also yummy. It wasn't overly sweet either and I liked the strawberry chunks in there. Unfortunately it wasn't as pictured on the menu haha but still a good drink. People with me also liked the purple yam red bean and passionfruit drink. Said it was perfectly sweet and flavors were balanced. This is going to my go to boba place when I'm in town now. Excited to try the other things on their menu!

A Malaysian based boba shop! Houston really does have everything, lol. I loved the vibes in the interior. Plentiful outdoor seating. Friendly staff.

Boba is a necessity after a sodium filled meal in the Bellaire area. After stuffing ourselves @ Blood Brothers, something with sugar is definitely required. So my friend moseyed me here afterwards to check this out. The inside is large with a good amount of seating and there's outdoor seating as well. Selection-wise, you could be overwhelmed with all the series such as frappe, fruit tea, brown sugar, milk tea, and cheese tea just to name a few. Toppings are also available if you feel like ponying up that extra 80-90 cents. The avocado yogurt series looked appealing since I knew TB12 loved him some avocado. Figured if it's good enough for him, why not? The drink was what I expected with boba and flavor was there although I felt the avocado could have a smoother consistency. Nonetheless, it did it's job in getting me over the BBQ sweats from earlier. I look forward to trying their other series such as the cheese series and golden pearl.

This place is super cute and the drinks are even cuter! Their drinks come in these beary cute cups and we are obsessed! I'm a creature of habit, so even though this was not our first time here, I always order the Purple Rice Yogurt drink haha. It has purple rice, yogurt, and some milk so be sure to bring along your lactaid if you're like me LOL. It definitely reminds me of a sort of Vietnamese dessert but drink version and I find myself craving this drink a lot. Highly recommend! My bf got the Brown Sugar Pearl Fresh Milk and it has this really pretty drizzle for your photo ops! It was a bit sweet for his taste, but a great drink if you love milk. He really liked how the other toppings like brown sugar didn't overpower the taste!

We needed our boba fix after a somewhat heavy meal nearby and decided to check our Daboba. Parking was plentiful around early lunch time. Inside was decorated nicely and there was plenty of seating available. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful for someone like me who is always indecisive when it comes to boba places. I knew I wanted something non dairy and preferably fruity so they suggested the Daboba Shooting Star which was a lemonade based drink. I added crystal boba for that little extra texture and chew I love with boba. The drink was visually appealing in it's cute cup, but for me the drink was not all that. It wasn't bad by any means, but it was not the refreshing drink that I was craving. It was on the bitter side and just did not go down smoothly. Would I come back? Sure, why not. I'm pretty sure they knock the milk teas out of the park. I'll give them another shot if in the area.

I first stopped by when I wanted to try out the Vietnamese dessert place across the center but it was closed, but then I spotted this place. It's at the outside corner/edge of the center across from Hong Kong City Mall. Since that first time, I've been twice. It seems to be Vietnamese owned - the staff all spoke Vietnamese both times but are proficient in English - and is quite a large space with plenty of chairs and tables. All the people I've spoken to there are friendly and helpful. We got: BROWN SUGAR MILK TEA - perfectly chewy boba in a delicious milk tea base. It's a bit sweet due to the brown sugar, so just reduce the sweetness level for this one. Still delicious though! SHOOTING STAR - a lemonade based drink (i believe they also mentioned butterfly pea tea to help the colors along) I got for my daughter because it was a hot latte and I didn't want her to get more caffeine in her. It's refreshing and beautiful! A bit tart/sweet but perfect for the summer. Keep the ice so when it melts, it won't be as sweet. ROASTED BROWN SUGAR YAM MILK TEA (75% sugar, less ice) - this was SWEET and it's slightly thick due to the purple yam paste. The drink is sweet and the boba is sweet plus the sweet topping. It's not bad but it's just too sweet for me. If I could go back in time, I'd have gone for 50% sugar AT LEAST. STRAWBERRY / PEACH YOGURT - their yogurt drinks are blended with real food and based off of Vietnamese yogurt, which is one of my favorite types of yogurt. It is PERFECT. Not too sweet or anything. Probably my favorite drink here. I got strawberry the first time and peach the second, with peach being a seasonal flavor, but they might be canned. My son was not a fan of the peach chunks at the bottom. My son has a number of food allergies and strawberry was the only flavor he could have. I informed them and the lady told the people making the drink in Vietnamese to make sure it's super clean (even after telling me they wash between drinks) due to food allergies so that was very nice of them. Their vegan choices are somewhat limited to the fruit teas and shooting star. They did say they use dairy free creamer for the milk teas but when I asked them further, they might be lactose free, but not necessarily vegan. I encountered this before at another boba place where they let us read the ingredients and it contained whey, which is a milk product. I didn't get to read the ingredients for the creamer Daboba uses but I assume it might be the same. They do not have vegan milk options at this time. I'm mentioning this because my second visit, my sister was with me and she's vegan. Overall, I've enjoyed my two visits there - just beware of the sweetness level. The yogurt drink here is to die for though. I'd get it for myself but I do enjoy my caffeine, so I give my kiddos most of it and finish them off. Haha...

I've waited to come here at least 4 times now before I wrote this review, and I'm satisfied to say that overall Daboba is consistently very good! I've tried their signature roasted brown pearl fresh milk, honey golden pearl green milk tea, cheese foam seasons tea, and brown sugar pearl milk tea. Everything is honestly really good. I'm usually a tough critic when it comes to boba, but all of their drinks are great so far. My only complaint about this place is that all of their drinks are on the expensive side, but I guess they make you pay for the quality. I'll definitely be a regular here to try more of their menu. Next time I'm planning on trying their fruit tea series or yogurt series. Cheers!

Extensive menu and lots of great options!! I will be coming back. The building was very big and nice too. It sits on the corner of the complex so it was very big and spacious inside. The drink was 10/10 I loved it. The employee was very nice too. Quite patient with me because I was taking a bit too long to decide, everything looked so good so that was my fault.

Friday, September 2023 @ 10:30ish Parking is plentiful. The atmosphere is striking. The ambiance is inviting. I'm not sure if it was because it was so late, but... Service was VERY accommodating, helpful, funny, and patient. They allowed samples of that boba, and made suggestions on the different combinations of drinks and boba. I think this is a great date night location. It's also very picturesque. I would call it Paris chic. I will be back.

I decided to stop by here the other day. The store looked very bright and clean, and there was a line to order, but it didn't take too long. I got the roasted brown sugar milk tea and the strawberry yogurt drinks. There was a bit of a wait for the order to come out, but I didn't mind. The drinks were both very flavorful and tasty, and the boba was very soft and chewy. They are a little on the pricier side in terms of size, but that's fine as long as the drinks are good. I'll definitely be back here again.

There are so many places for you to choose boba from in Chinatown, but da boba stuck out to me with their consistent drinks, fun casing, and perfect sizes! I am a huge boba fanatic and would call myself an expert in boba. I liked how simple da boba's menu was and that da boba originated from Taiwan. The flavors seem pretty standard compared to other boba places, but you can tell they use high quality ingredients, making da boba taste extra delicious. The place was clean. Staff was nice. The only thing I wish was different was maybe the location because it's not exactly in the heart of Chinatown. Other than that, I would definitely give this place a try if you happen to be in the area. Obviously you have to order the brown sugar.

First time with the family here and it was a good spot to stop in for boba. We ordered probably 8 different drinks, but the ones that are memorable was the Brown Sugar Pearl Matcha and the Shooting Star drink. Both weren't too overly sweet and well refreshing. @phidingthefam

Daboba is the bomb. I'm sorry, I had to. After having dim sum at Ocean Palace, I walked over to Daboba to grab a bubble tea and do a little work. Daboba is located on the corner of a shopping center which includes a bunch of other businesses including A Ly Chinese Cuisine. After placing my order at the counter, I asked for their WiFi and took a seat at a booth. One thing that stands out about Daboba is the stylish interior which is a little more elevated than most bubble tea spots I've been to in the past. There's plenty of seating inside and a small patio out front. The usual assortment of drinks and boba are offered here. I went with a fruit tea. The little things get me hooked and this is what happened here. The caps on their drinks have cat ears. You should visit for that reason alone!

I definitely had to start 2022 with a boba review. Daboba soft opening was this past Saturday (1-1-21) & I got a chance to try it today. The greeting was very warm & welcoming & the decor was okay-ish, not my favorite. I wanted to get 4 drinks two being their fruit tea & mango frappe but the menu was limited & only offering milk based drinks. Here's what I got. * Roasted brown sugar pearl milk tea- the drink was okay but in terms of the tea flavor it was weak. The balance of the sweetness was perfect & I enjoyed the boba as it was soft & chewy. I also liked that they torched the top of the drink, kinda tasted like creme brûlée. 2.8/5 * Honey golden pearl milk tea- I would get this drink again because the tea was present but the pearls were a bit too hard & chewy for me. 3.5/5 Overall it was decent, my only issue is that they couldn't make my drink without ice. In my opinion I think you guys should start honoring the no ice request because for folks like myself I don't like watered-down drinks. But it's all good because I end up drinking it fast anyways. I'll return whenever they have a full menu, I was looking forward to trying their fruit teas & mango frappe (yogurt), but will do that my next visit. Updated (1-26-2022): they are able to make the drink without ice, which is good. However the quality has went down, this time my roasted brown sugar milk tea did not taste any better. The tea flavor was nonexistent. The drink was too foamy and thick. The service was also not as good as the first time.

Came here on a whim Sunday afternoon. The place was very clean and decorated so cute. Staff was friendly and timely in their delivery of my order. I got the Yogurt Fruit and Golden Pearl Green Milk Tea. Both were made as ordered. The yogurt drink was really good, it wasn't too sweet, and I loved the add-ins they put in it. Plus it's something that I haven't really seen at any of the many boba shops popping up. I also thought the milk tea was made well, and their boba is good in quality and taste. I don't live in the area, but would definitely recommend this as a good boba spot to stop by. Price definitely matches the quality. I would like to visit again if I'm ever in the area.

We love this beautiful boba place, the drinks are delicious, especially salty caramel coffee. Their service is wonderful. Our family and relatives from different states wanted to come here every time they visit Houston. They enjoyed the boba and listen to the karaoke on weekend. I truly love this place, highly recommended.

We went here during the soft opening. They only had milk based drinks during this time, so I wasn't able to try their fruit teas. (My go to drinks) Brown sugar boba with fresh milk 5/5 I didn't get to personally try this, but the kids seem to enjoy it. Honey boba green milk tea 2/5 I really liked the boba but the drink was a bit diluted for my taste. I really liked the concept though. I wished the green tea was more prominent. Brown sugar matcha tea 5/5 My friend liked hers. I thought it was a lot more flavorful compared to mines. We quite enjoyed this one. Overall we love the vibe. Service went fairly well when we went. The drinks were pretty decent. I would like to try the other drinks later in the future in order to really judge them.

Food, drinks and service is excellent. However, whoever let their kids run roughshod inside the place is an irresponsible parent. We were hoping to enjoy a quiet after dinner drinks and snack, only to find this group of kids treating the place like a play ground, screaming and running around bumping into tables, washing their hands in the water dispenser. management didn't do anything to stop the kids or call the attention of the parents. you can see some visibly annoyed patrons.

Was told this is a franchise from Malaysia but never heard of it despite my last visit to Kuala Lumpur and Penang in 2018. This shop is located inside a Vietnamese shopping center at the corner with plenty of parking spaces. Showed up at 1 pm on Sat and the line was not long. They are known for the honey pearls so I got that and also the roasted brown sugar pearls (like the one in Tiger Sugar) . There's no loyalty program at the moment. You can customize it on ice and sweetness. I did half ice and 50% sugar. Both drinks tasted good but didn't quite care on the bobas. Not chewy enough, IMO! Can't really taste the honey in pearls either. Glad we tried but won't drive this far to get the drinks since there's so many others inside Beltway 8.

On my first visit, I decided to order the Matcha Frappe which wasn't too shabby. The consistency of the drink was thick and there were red beans at the bottom of the drink, so I didn't add boba this time around. No complaints on the sugar level since it was just right for me and helped cure my sugar lows. They close pretty late on weekdays (at 10PM as of November 2022) so that's a plus considering I tend to have sweet cravings later in the evening. I observed ample parking, lots of seating inside and outside, people studying, board games located near the restrooms, and their cups are so cute. Mine came with a lid so it's reusable! I will definitely come back and try their boba whenever I have another late night sweet craving!

Came while I was waiting for a table for crawfish cafe. The interior is gorgeous and seems like a great place to study or get some work done. I ordered a regular brown sugar milk tea with boba and the boba was cooked perfectly. 5 stars for the cute cups!

I came back to Daboba and this time got the Purple Yam Brûlée Drink. The drink looked pretty and tasted good. It was creamy and you could taste the purple yam in the drink. The crème brûlée cream on top made the drink even more delightful.

We ordered the honey golden pearl green milk tea and cheese seasons tea. The cheese seasons tea was okay. It tasted very watery and there was really no flavor in the tea. The Golden Pearl Green milk tea was just your standard green milk tea so it was pretty average. Overall there was nothing special about this place but I mean it's okay.
