Hotspot Cafe - La Porte

Would recommend to a friend. Actual rating would be 4.5 stars so I rounded up. I don 't normally write reviews for places so I apologize if the formatting is weird or the wording is strange/repetitive. First of all, the boba tea was really great. I got Chai Tea with Strawberry Popping boba and both the boba and tea tasted amazing. Atmosphere was a bit off-putting at first but it 's nice vibes overall. The paintings on the left wall add to the vibe as well. I 'm not sure about the other food items, but they definitely looked appetizing! There only appeared to be one person working the shop at the desk, but it was also about 1 hour-ish/30 min before it closed so I 'm unsure if that 's typical or not. Service didn 't take a long time. They don 't serve typical bubble tea for sure. As other reviews mention, they do some sort of blending thing for the tea, probably with ice. I also noticed it sort of seemed to separate if I let it sit...? It tasted fine even with the odd look, though. They also don 't seem have regular tapioca pearls from what I could gather from the website and in-cafe list. Speaking of the website, it 's either out of date or poorly formatted for mobile. I couldn 't find a menu aside from pictures on the Menu tab, which kind of led to me standing there in the Cafe, awkwardly looking at the screen and menu on the wall before the woman at the desk noted that they had the boba flavors at the desk. Furthermore, I couldn 't find much about the boba on the website, but it was clear they had it based on pictures and other Google reviews. These two reason are why if Google let me, I would have rated it 4.5 stars. This isn 't meant to be a negative review, though. I would absolutely stop by again! :

Cute place! My mom, sister and I loved our bubble teas!

My daughter loves boba tea, therefore we decided to have my daughter's birthday party there. The owner was more than accommodating with the group of 10 year old girls and the boba was delicious! I will absolutely be back for other events they have and for more boba!

Went in and was buy one tea get one half off! our first time here and my 8 year old loved it.. the owner was so polite and took the time to explain everything to us.. we also had a brownie which was soft and delicious.. will definitely go again! support local!

I was in town for my daughter to have her baby. I went for a walk and found this cute coffee place and thought wow I found coffee. I’m from Oregon/Washington). So I walk inn if was later in the day and said u would be back next morning for coffee. I was so excited! So my grandson and I walked back over in morning and thought let’s get coffees and baby coco. Soooowe go in and four people sitting at table drinking coffee. And there is a guy at the counter reading his papers. The same girl came out and it was so different. She was sniffing sooo hard. And walking back and forth holding her tummy. I said honey you ok? She said” she was so sick “. I’m like “ well if you’re sick I’m not really wanting to get it. I’m on vacation. And as I’m talking to her she blows her nose wipes her nose with hand then reaches for my lid to my cup and puts on the lid. All rite in front of me. No wash hands.! I said OOHHHH NOOO THANKYOU. YOU CAN NOT DO THAT. WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SEE. Then she said my boss said I had to come to work. I said I got to go. And she gets on the phone calls her boss and starts to tell her. I just kept walking. No coffee. Was super sad. Had to drive to Starbucks which I use only when needing to. Such a bad experience. I can’t even exaggerate what happen. I’m still blown away.
