Boba Tea and Java Haus (inside Orange Leaf)

***FOOD DYE ALERT*** Used to have a good vibe at previous location and it’s been years and they are still operating out of orange leaf. The vibe is different and they used to use organic teas and make their own syrups and I’m not sure if they do that anymore; even if they do it’s not properly marketed. Apparently the owners own the orange leaf as well so this is why they’re operating out of orange leaf. The coconut boba does not taste the same as it used to… very chemically aftertaste, and I double checked the ingredients on their flavorings and syrups and they are loaded with FD&C RED 40 And other toxic dyes, strawberry, taro and Thai are the ones I checked. Very disappointing as at one point I would consider this a healthier place to get drinks now it’s just as saturated with toxicity as the next drink place.

Tried this place for the first time, will not be returning as it was absolutely disgusting. We ordered strawberry boba green tea as well as black thai tea w/boba, had literally 2 sips and we threw both our drinks away as soon as we arrived at home. Thai tea had zero flavor and floating powder in the drink, strawberry tea was 100% syrup and tasted like dirty water with what appeared to be a reused cup/lid, boba was trash in both. Literal waste of money and time, staff was unfamiliar with drinks as well. Overall horrible boba experience, grossed out. Give it a ZERO out of 10, other boba lounges I have visited in New B are 1000 times better. Would NOT recommend!

They have moved next-door in “Orange Leaf” but the ambience is very cute with little tables and chairs. They have ice cream and bubble “Boba” drinks.

Went to the place and it says it’s for lease. Please update this page so that other people know that this place is closed. I got excited to come to this place for nothing.

It's pretty good but it's inside the frozen yogurt place next door. So if it looks closed that's why. It's now apart of the fro yo place.

This place apparently has gone out of business. The building is empty and for lease.

I want to start by saying that the staff are very nice. I have no issues with them, and they did as I asked and they knew what they were doing. However, if you are looking for good boba tea I would suggest going down the road some and stopping at Boba Tea Lounge instead. It’s worth mentioning that Java Haus doesn’t have a wide variety of flavors compared to other places, and while this isn’t a huge deal it’s worth letting people know. I also could not adjust the sugar level in the drink, which I would normally do. Today I had the chai tea, and it’s the worst I’ve ever had. I’ve been to most boba places across the New Braunfels and San Antonio area (I’m a bit obsessed with boba), and I won’t be coming here again. Maybe the other flavors are better, but I wouldn’t take the chance. I couldn’t even finish my drink, I threw it away. The chai flavor itself was completely wrong. Does not taste like chai, I don’t know what it would resemble but it was super fake tasting. Sort of tasted like pure syrup, and it also leaves a horrible aftertaste in your mouth. The syrup doesn’t even taste remotely good (it’s a brown sugar syrup, and isn’t even sweet either) and settles to the bottom in little flakes after a few moments despite mixing. The boba is not the right texture, it’s sort of hard. This could be one bad batch of course, but I’m not sure that’s the case. It also has no additional flavor added that I could tell (most places add honey or brown sugar to their boba) so it was extreamly bland. I just have to be honest it’s a 1/10 for the drink, I don’t recommend it. I don’t like leaving these reviews, but I left regretting my purchase so I hope to help someone else. I guess you get what you pay for. It’s a good price at $5 compared to the $7-8 I spent elsewhere.

They used to be so good until the orange leaf took over for a bit. Everytime I go my drink is so nasty so this will be the last time, I’m pregnant and have just been let down one to many times. Best bet go down to Boba tea lounge!!
