Fruit Frenzy

My friends and I love tapioca and are always willing to try new places because we always go to Tapioca House. So we walked into the place and it seemed like a really nice, quiet place for studying. I looked at the menu and the smoothie were really over price. They were about $ 4.50 so I went for the teas which the menu said to be $ 2.88 or somewhere around there. I ordered thai tea with tapioca and my total came out $ 4.75 which shocked me because it was almost double what the menu said the price was, but I was really thirsty and stupid at the same time so I just went ahead and paid it.
Then after that, more disappointments came along. My first sip of my thai tea was disgusting. It was one of the worst thai tea I’ve ever tasted in my life. I mean there are thai teas I’ve tasted that are decent and it was possible for me to finish it, but this one, I could. I believed they used powder cause I saw powder like particles in my drink. Almost like they didn’t fully dissolve it. Some of my tapioca were raw.
I would not recommend this place. If you want fresh and delicious tea or juice I would recommend Tapioca House or Kravin. And definitely Kravin for their shaved ice.
PLEASE DON’T COME HERE TO WASTE MONEY AND BE DISAPPOINTED!

Best tapioca drinks ! its not made from powder like other places make it, they make it from fresh fruit

When I stumbled across this listing, I bookmarked it as «shaved ice not as far as Chinatown!» and I was super pumped about this fact.
However, the location is the best part about Fruit Frenzy. If you’re hoping to get Juice Box quality shaved ice, this ain’t it, folks. The portion is just as expensive and just as large as Juice Box, but it’s not as good. The ice is chunkier and freezes to itself easier as you eat. Granted, it’s not BAD shaved ice (how can you mess up condensed milk, fruit and ice cream?) but Juice Box sets the bar pretty high ’round this town.
The service was super friendly and I loved the colorful assemble-​your-​own lanterns they had around the store and for sale. The store itself is exceptionally clean.
When in this shopping center seeking a sweet frozen treat, I’d probably always choose Yogurtland.

Ordered an avocado smoothie WITHOUT tapioca and was charged for the tapioca anyway. Smoothie was already overpriced and subpar. Getting ripped off made it even worse. Not recommended!

I stopped at this joint while waiting for my party to go eat at little sheep (which was awesome by the way, check my review). While entering this establishment, it was very clean and the décor was really asian-​y. They also got Asian music going on, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The people here was nice and helpful.
I had got the almond milk tea, it was mediocre, like a lot of other milk teas, nothing really to rave about. I would go here again though.

I’m somewhat biased because I’m from Cali but Fruit Frenzy was decent from what I’ve tasted in H-​town so far. It’s pretty expensive for a milk tea with boba ($ 4.50) and it lacked flavor but I like how the default size is a regular. If you don’t specify no boba, the cashier will add boba!
I’ll def go here during my lunch break for work but if I could try anywhere else, I would

We got the strawberry mango watermelon shaved ice and the almond milk boba tea. The shaved ice was really good it came with fresh fruit and ice cream, delicious but it was a bit pricey at $ 6. I prefer the shaved ice places in Chinatown but this is a good place to grab tapioca or shaved ice in the galleria area.

Been to this place a few times now and I’ve decided I will not be getting my boba from here again if I can help it. The tapioca is really not good. Texture is everything for boba, if it’s not chewy but tough in the middle, you are doing something wrong. The décor in the shop is cute and the milk itself is tasty. But paying $ 4+ for a mediocre boba is not worth it.

I came here after eating at Mongolian Hot Pot next door and it was a refreshing dessert. The mixed fruit shaved ice was around $ 6.50 but it didn’t taste as good as Juice Box which is cheaper. The ice was crunchy and not as soft and fluffy but the fruits were fresh. The decorations were random and weird. I was excited to find a mixed fruit shaved ice place closer than Bellaire and it was worth a shot but I won’t be returning.

Green Tea and lychee jelly for me. The beau got an Avacado smoothie with no boba and he said it was super good!

I had no idea that this place has been around for a few months now. I recently checked out Fruit Frenzy a week ago and thought the place had just opened. Guess I never noticed it before.
Luckily my sister and I stopped by in the afternoon when the place wasn’t busy. There was only a small group of students studying at the time. We didnt encounter any slow service. The manager was kind and friendly with us. I ordered the almond milk tea with tapioca, and my sister ordered the original milk tea. Both drinks tasted good in their own way. The tapioca pearls were nice and firm with a chewy texture. Its hard to come across a café that concocts a good tapioca drink.
This place definitely has what you’re looking for. They serve up a variety of different beverages here. They also have a few desserts that i’m interested in trying when I visit again. Fruit Frenzy is a nice and colorful spot to hangout with friends. I also love the fact that they have happy hour throughout the weekday from 10 — 4 p.m. Basically if you purchase two drinks, you get the third one for free. Thats literally a sweet deal.

Man, you gotta be kidding me. It took us 30 – 45 minutes to get some fruit in a cup and shaved ice. We woulda took off but they already had our money. It took so long, we thought they literally drove across the street to HEB to buy more fruit or something. We thought it would be a good idea, since we just ate hot pot next door at Little sheep, but man. they gotta change their game up and prep work up, because it should not take that long for what we got. It was beyond forever, it was ridiculous and everyone in my party wanted to get the hell out of there ASAP and weren’t even in the mood for what we got anymore. Note to staff: please change up your processes or else you wont last much longer.

Now that I live in the Galleria area, I’m starting to explore the different shopping strips and what they have to offer. I saw the neon signs and the various posters on the window and first thought «Fruit Frenzy» definitely sounds like a frozen yogurt shop of some sort. Then I thought, why would they open up one with a Yogurtland in the same shopping area? So I decided to check this place out and satisfy my curiosity.
Oh am I so glad that my curiosity got the best of me because I truly do like this place!
As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by one of the workers. I looked around and true there was no one there, but I could envision people studying or doing some work or just catching up with friends. I definitely thought to myself, this is where I’m going to go to get some work done. The menu seems a little limited compared to other boba places, but that’s where you have to get a little creative and ask if they can make certain flavor combinations. So far I have had: royal milk tea, coconut taro milk tea, pistachio coconut taro cream, almond orange milk tea, avocado chocolate cream, and some others I cannot quite remember at the moment. Each one has been very delicious.
So the drinks are good and the place is great… why 4-​stars and not 5? Well sometimes the service can be a bit on the slow side but it’s never rude.
I’m definitely going back for more!

*quick tip*
–Takes forever for a drink!!!
–milk tea is good
–good place to study, not too loud as happy tea house
It took about 10 min for the dude to take my order & another 5 min for my drink. There wasn’t even a line just a group of 3 ladies in front of me. After serving them, he didn’t acknowledge that I was waiting until I said something.
On top of that he didn’t even take my order right. I had to correct him twice.
If the milk tea wasn’t good I wouldve been one angry bird!
I will have to admit it’s been a very long time since I had a delicious milk tea. So he was lucky, the drink saved his butt! Not sure how the boba was bc I ordered it with coffee jelly. Normally the other joints the milk tea is powdery taste bc they use non dairy powder. And thank goodness it’s near my place!
Can be a good place to study or chill open till midnight.

I always thought this place was a yogurt place, so I couldn’t ever choose this over yogurt land in the same lot but have come to find out it is an asian shaved ice joint.
If you have yet to try shaved ice, quote me now it will what cupcakes or frozen yogurt is now, by next summer.
So for our shaved ice dish we got to choose 4 fruits with it. We opted for mango, strawberry, banana, and pineapple. We came within 10 minutes of closing and was out with time to spare. It was just so delicious. It’s fresh fruit on top of shaved ice drizzled with condensed milk. This is what takes this to the next level!!!
Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

I will NEVER go back to this store again. I bought a Groupon some months ago. I liked going to this store and it’s within walking distance of my house so it seemed like a great deal.
I am glad I bought the Groupon because their prices are high. I actually thought I would come back and try out their buy 2 get 1 free happy hour. But of course the Groupon never works for that. I understand but here is what I don’t understand– today I went into the store because I had about $ 7.98 left on my Groupon card and they guy behind the counter says. «uhhh…this expired on August 1» and then looks at me strangely.
Well, gee how would I know that I wondered? Because when I first cashed in my Groupon– guess what this same guy gave me in order to keep track of my drinks? A simple, plain business card made of PAPER with the total on top and every time I would come in, they would subtract the remaining balance. When I first saw this, I just shrugged my shoulders and thought it was a little weird but now I look back and realize what a sucker I was– this paper baloney was DECEPTIVE!
Let me explain why this is deceptive… maybe I would have known about the expiration date of August 1, 2012 had you PUT IT ON THE CARD!
As everyone knows, when you redeem your Groupon, it disappears from your list so unless I had printed out this Groupon or put the expiration date on my business card, how on earth would I have known this card expired??? This is a really deceptive business practice.
I think the courteous thing to do was for the manager to honor at least half of the remaining Groupon or to offer me a complimentary drink. I would at least feel half as content instead of twice as angry as I am now. But he didn’t. He just didn’t even seem to care.
With the deceptive practice of hiding or some sort of gray area exploitation of the customer’s naïveté of expiration dates, I will never come back to Fruit Frenzy ever again! This is Houston, there are other places just as good and less deceptive for fresh fruit.

Got the taro cream blend with tapioca.
The highlight was the shaved ice with mango strawberry banana and pineapple toppings. I’ve never tried Asian-​style shaved ice before, now I know why they get it.

Had the green juice (it had orange, pear, spinach, celery I think, some other green vegetables), and it wasn’t sweetened! I was so happy — it tasted so fresh and real. Literally just juiced fruits and veggies.
This is a great alternative for people who like juice/​tea/​slush/​smoothie but don’t want the sugary/​powdery stuff you get at chains. There are tons of healthy options.
Prices are a little steep ($ 3 for tea, my juice was around $ 4.50, and I think $ 6 or so for a shaved ice, which is large and enough for 2 – 3 people). It was worth it imo. I’m going to go back a lot. Free wifi, ample seating, place looks nice and new.
Happy hour until 4 — buy 2 drinks on the same ticket and get one free. They also have a buy 10 get 1 free punch card.

I can’t believe how many times I have eaten at the Mongolian Hot Pot next door and never though to go in and finish off with dessert here, probably because I was always so Vietnamese pot belly pigged full and could barely waddle to my car let alone another thing to consume while I always seem to miserably find myself plopping heavily into the drivers seat.
I arrived here with a fellow Unilocaler after an UYE next door and was surprised that on a Thursday afternoon about 1 pm nobody was here. I always think to myself whenever I walk into places «How do these people pay expensive rent with no customers?».
The person behind the counter must have been the owner because he was too informative and nice to be a regular employee.
Do you know what surprised the heck out of me about this place… IT HAS TAPIOCA!!! I had no idea I could get this here since I always had to cart my happy self all the way down to Happy Teahouse that seems to be always busy for what I want to be around, and it’s only 5 minutes from where I work! bonus!
Of course, tapioca isn’t the main thing here, it’s the shaved ice with fruit. I have not tried it but the pictures REALLY entice you to try it. There is comfortable couch seating here and the thing that might make this place not so busy is I do not think it has wifi since I did not see anybody with their labtops here but I could be wrong.
Parking is moderate here, it’s shared by busy business left and right but at the time of my visit there was no problem.
You get a punch card here, after 10 drinks you get one free and I think there is a happy hour buy 2 get 1 free from the time they open till 4 pm.

Came here while I was in Houston and thought to try something new!
The owner was very nice and allows you to try anything you’d like.
I would suggest the tapioca balls and the Shaved Ice with fresh fruit and ice cream. Everything that we ordered was really good!
