    Pearl Milk Tea
    Khanh T.

    Doka is a boba shop on UT campus and the drinks here are pretty cheap. I got the Pearl Milk Tea medium size and it was like $4.95 before tax, which was surprisingly cheap because I haven't seen that price in so long. The drink was okay, it wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special. I would say the tea taste was a bit stronger than the milk taste, so some people would prefer that. I probably wouldn't come back though since the area is really tight and lots of cars passing by which could be pretty dangerous to walk around.

    I got the Jasmine milk tea with no sugar and no ice. It's on the less tea side and milk flavor is stronger than tea. Overall it's okay. Service was fast and nice. Ambiance you have indoor seating you can sit and chill a bit.

    Decent boba. I got taro milk Tea with sago, regular sugar level, and it's super sweet, a little bit too much for me. Pomelo mango sago smoothie is great and has the perfect sweetness amount when I order with zero added sugar (yes it's still sweet with zero added sugar) Service is alright. I'll be back again if I'm in the area

    Good boba variety, quick service, and a cute seating area inside. I got my drink with light ice and 70% sweetness. It definitely hit the spot!

    Looking at pictures online, I was a little wary of Doka, just because everything looked so brightly colored. But hearing all the hype and seeing all the good reviews, I came to try it anyways. And I'm so glad I did! First of all, love that they have a little parking garage area. One of the biggest factors for me deciding to go somewhere is whether I'll be able to find easy parking. And second of all, the drinks really are so delicious! The flavorings don't have that really artificial taste, making them really refreshing, especially in the summer heat. And we tried the sago, which were smaller than we expected, but so bouncy and slightly sweet, and it just made it all the more fun to drink. Plus, they have a little guest book that you can sign, and I just think that's so cute.

    As a Taiwanese kid, I cannot express how excited I was when I saw Doka coming to Austin. Every time I walked by, I found myself peeking inside to see if there were any updates on the construction. The moment I saw the logo, I knew this was the brand I grew up with. Doka is how the store name is pronounced in Mandarin. In Taiwan, this store has the English name Coco. Since the name Coco is already taken by another tea shop here, I understand why they went with Doka, even if the name surprised me at first. I checked their Instagram, and seeing the use of traditional Mandarin characters and the menu items I remembered from childhood confirmed it for me. This was exactly the store from my childhood. I came during the soft opening week. The staff told me that the menu is currently limited to ten drinks, so it is not yet the usual mix-and-match format where you choose your tea base and toppings. Even so, this drink menu was enough to bring back strong memories. I ordered the Tropical Special, which has always been my favorite, and I also tried the Popping Blue Moon. The Tropical Special tasted exactly like how I remembered it. It is a passion fruit green tea with coconut jelly and pearls. I have always loved the combination. The coconut jelly was sweet and smooth, and the pearls were cooked to the perfect chewy texture. Huge shoutout--I grew up calling them pearls back home. The Popping Blue Moon is a beautiful drink. It has a mango and lemonade base with lychee poppers and jelly. The flavor was refreshing and well balanced, and I enjoyed it a lot. However, because the name does not give away what is inside, a brief description on the menu or Instagram would be helpful. While I was there, I heard several customers ask about the drink. One of the staff members had to double-check with others to explain it. Some written clarification would make that process smoother for everyone. Doka makes my heart sing. This is the most authentic Taiwanese bubble tea I have had in the United States. Everything about the store feels like home. The logo, the color scheme, the menu design, and the traditional characters all feel true to the brand I knew growing up. I even thought I recognized a familiar Taiwanese accent when I spoke with one of the staff members. If I have one small note, it would be about the sweetness. I ordered both drinks with regular ice and zero added sugar, which is how I usually order my bubble tea. Even so, they still came out a bit sweet for my current taste, likely because the toppings were sweet and I had two in each drink. To be clear, this is exactly how I remember the drinks from when I was younger. My preferences have just changed now that I am older. When I got home, I added more ice and poured the drinks into a larger jar, and that made the sweetness just right. In the future, I hope they will also offer the full customization menu where customers can pick a tea base and choose toppings. That would make the experience absolutely perfect.

    OMG where do I start? My plans started horribly today, and I didn't even plan on eating here today,…read morebut the food here at Veracruz All Natural completely turned my day around. I had only stopped by this Food Truck (area) to try Desnudo Coffee, and spotted this business. I had heard some good things about Veracruz, but I was planning lunch elsewhere. Well, that other spot was CLOSED ON WEDNESDAYS! Seeing my situation, I saw it as opportunity to try the options at Veracruz --- including the famous from Food Network, migas taco. I ordered 4 tacos: the migas, migas poblano, shrimp macha (!!), and the Dona Reyna tacos. All of these specific tacos were priced between $6 and $6.75 per taco, not bad in Austin, and not bad considering the quality of said tacos. As you can see from my order, I opted on the more "novel" choices and they did not disappoint; that said, I do HIGHLY recommend the two variations of the migas taco and the shrimp macha taco. Oh, the shrimp macha was so FIRE, the flavors were bold and smoky with a kiss of heat. The migas tacos were FULLY LOADED, and the scramble with the tortilla chips were flavorul. TIP: They will ask corn or flour --- do flour. Everything is handmade, but those corn tortillas fall apart with all the sauce. Flour = durable and flavorful. I had plans, but the Universe had other plans for me that were superior. Try Veracruz All Natural --- and if your limited on $$$, you can snag 3 EXCEPTIONAL LOADED TACOS for about $20, that you will not find anywhere else!

    The Austin heat was breathing down my neck like a dragon as I walked a place recommended by a…read morecoworker. I walked into this unassuming restaurant and perused the menu, which felt like Mexican tarot cards. Pictures. Titles. Small description. It all looked basic. But simple food made with fresh ingredients and seasoned well has won Michelin stars. Unfortunately, I don't foresee them receiving one. The al pastor taco was tasty. The steak taco had too much fat in it. If I was strictly bashing this review on the food. I'd give it a three. It's not worth the price. Now, the service seemed to be decent until I didn't put a tip on my takeout order. Things seemed to go south. When my name was called, I grabbed the small paper bag and paused. No guacamole. If I hadn't have looked, I could've walked a really long wasteful before noticing. Maybe long enough to not go back. The last behind the counter, said okay I'll get it. It felt like a chore. I said thank you and made the long walk fighting the heat of the dragon's breath once again. The story does not stop there, I thought 3 tacos, a drink, and guacamole couldn't honestly cost $43. The guilt of spending that kind of money on such little food that was also just average, screamed in my conscience. Well, that was because the woman also had not given me my tres leches, which was going to be for my wife. I took the long walk back, stood at the counter for what felt like 10 minutes,and again it felt like a chore to get me what I paid for. No sorry. I would suggest taking a little longer walk to Taqueria de Diez

    My girlfriends and I were on a girls trip in Austin and we decided to stop here for brunch. It was…read moresuch a hit, this restaurant is our vibe and I wish we had it back home. The restaurant itself is decorated so nice, it's picture perfect. I also really appreciate a restaurant committed to having options that are seed oil free, from local farms and also having options without refined sugar. Miranda was our server and she was so kind and attentive. She made sure we had a great experience and was a pleasure to talk to. To eat I ordered the classic breakfast and to drink I had the vanilla maca. I didn't love the vanilla maca, and I only blame myself for that. I have never had maca so I didn't know what to expect but the drink basically tasted like a chocolate protein shake. Which isn't bad but I wanted like more of a latte so that was on me. My meal however? Loved it. Everything was so flavorful and hit the spot exactly with what I wanted. I also really appreciate a salad with breakfast since this helps lower your glucose spike and so when a restaurant offers this I know they know true wellness!!! My girlfriends both ordered the avocado toast and loved it. One ordered the cherry vanilla limeade and enjoyed it as well, but as an avid cherry hater I didn't try it...but if you like cherry she recommends it! I would come back to Austin just to eat here again. So good. So jealous this isn't back home... did I mention that already??!!

    I wanted to like this restaurant, but they made it hard to do. We started off with the guacamole…read more The pomegranate seeds on top were a nice touch, but man, this was flavorless. It was painfully boring. We had our 6-year-old, who is head of the Picky Eaters Society, so we ordered bread with butter. This 6-year-old, who eats bread on the daily, took one bite and wouldn't eat any more. We even get gluten-free bread regularly, and he eats it. The bread was fine, but don't expect flavor. By some miracle, they even made butter tasteless. I considered calling the Vatican to see if this was some holy, divine miracle, but my wife suggested maybe the main course would be better. We settled on the pesto pasta with chicken added for an additional fee. The pasta was good. Great texture, good flavor, and the combination of ingredients was good, but it's nothing original. It's pesto pasta. It's a classic. I appreciate the pomegranate seeds on the guacamole because it's original, it's clever, and it's different. We also ordered a special soda drink for our son, and it had a small black bug on top. I had them take it back and replace it. I kind of expected a "Listen, we apologize for the bug. Here's half off dinner," or something, but nothing. Service was fine, and it's a decent atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to sit and talk it's a great place, but if you want food or a drink go somewhere else.
