[PERMANENTLY CLOSED - Store No Longer Operating]

Fresh, juicy, bright, and made with real ingredients — Mr. Wish offers a refreshing break from the heavy, creamer-based milk teas found at many shops. This Taiwanese import is all about fresh-pressed fruit, fragrant tea, and clean flavors that let natural citrus shine. Aromas of tea, fruit, and warm waffles greet you the moment you enter, setting the tone for a café experience that’s both cozy and energizing.

Lowering the sweetness level lets the tart, natural flavors come through, making each drink light, crisp, and refreshing. Their in-house waffles add the perfect complement: warm, crisp, simple, and comforting. With patient service and a bright, welcoming atmosphere, Mr. Wish brings a unique charm to Houston’s Chinatown.

What to Order

Wish Special Fruit Tea – A signature blend of fresh-pressed citrus and chopped fruit; vibrant and refreshing.
Custard Waffle Cake – Warm, crisp, made to order; a lightly sweet pairing for any fruit tea.
Grapefruit Green Tea – Tart, fragrant, and best enjoyed with reduced sugar.

Review

Sara I. (Oct 8, 2019):

“They say dairy does the body good. But I'm not too sure about that. Sometimes over doing it with milk tea leaves ya' belly bloated and hankering for something lighter. Most of these milk teas are questionable as well. Non-dairy creamer? No thank you.

Let's shine the spotlight on fruit tea. & I'm not talking about any kind of fruit tea.. (Let's forgo the teas made with sappy chemical laden syrups). I'm talking about the type that's super fresh, citrusy and bright. Juicy juice that's pressed right on the spot. Mr. Wish has quite a fantastic selection of fresh pressed juice. But they mix it in with tea.. & chopped fruit.. so you've got yourself a winning combination.

Upon walking into Mr. Wish cafe you can smell the aroma of various citrus, tea and waffles.

There are plenty of citrus teas to choose from. All of em bright and sunshiny. You can lower the sugar content down to 60%.. that way you can enjoy the tart flavors of the juice. Nothing too sweet is ever good. Try the waffles that are made in house. They are warm and crisp. I chose the custard waffles and they were filling and tasty. Piping hot.. so wait until they cool down a bit.

Mr. Wish is a bright little cafe that is unique in many aspects. Imported straight from Taiwan.. so these guys know what they're doing. Warm and patient service. Thank you Mr. Wish for providing a beacon of light in Chinatown. Chill and non pretentious vibes. I'll definitely be back to try other teas.”
