This Fengcha has got to be the best one I've ever been to. I ordered an Earl Grey Milk Tea with 50% sweetness and ohmyGOODNESS it is so delicious and creamy. My most recent experience at a Fengcha before this one was bad because my drink tasted like straight milk..... but this place is just chef's kiss. read more

I like Feng Cha. I usually get the Creme Brulee brown sugar milk tea or the taro milk tea or any of their fruit teas, but today I got the Mango Fantasy. It's a mango smoothie with mini sago, grapefruit chunks, and coconut cream. The drink was good and refreshing overall, but I don't really like the grapefruit chunks. I can't really taste the coconut cream either. Next time I would probably go for the mango breeze instead because that one is creamier and less bitter. read more

I like Feng Cha because it's so easy to customize your drink. You order from kiosks, which I actually really appreciate because you can take your time, adjust the sweetness, switch to non-dairy milk, all without feeling rushed. Service has always been quick when I've gone. The drinks themselves are good. I usually get the taro blended drink, and it's consistently well made. This time I tried an Ube drink on special and it was pretty good too. So no complaints on the actual bubble tea front. The interior is where it loses a little charm. It's not exactly a cozy place to hang out. The lighting is bright and a bit harsh, and the overall vibe is more cold and industrial than cute or inviting. Totally fine for grabbing a drink, just not somewhere I'd linger. Feng Cha does bubble tea well, but it doesn't really stand out from other spots. read more

4.5 My family and I went to Feng Cha Austin when in the area. It's a nice place to get a coffee or boba tea. We parked , walked in and noticed an ordering station but there were only two people in front of us so we went to the counter to order. The woman that took our order was friendly and patient. We paid and then waited. This coffee/tea shop is minimally decorated. It's nice and clean with a few places to sit. I'm not sure if it's usually hot in there but during our visit the shop was abnormally hot inside. They did have a large fan running so I assumed that the air conditioner was not working but I don't know for sure. After waiting around a man working behind the counter asked if we needed anything. We told him that we ordered and paid. He checked and found our receipt. He then told us that he would start our order and get it to us as soon as he could. It didn't take long. I ordered the Black Tea with Ice and 50% sugar. It was really good. I could definitely taste the sweetness from the sugar and the black tea. I think in the future I will get a less sugar. I couldn't finish my drink but my husband and boys drank theirs up. We all agreed that it was good. Overall Feng Cha Austin is a nice place to visit with a variety of coffees and boba teas. The flavor of the tea is good and you get a fairly big cup. The workers were friendly and the service was good. My only complaint is that the space was hot. Hopefully that issue gets fixed. read more

Worst taro I have ever had due to rotten milk Typically I get Thai tea here and it is great but tried the taro and it was the worst taro I have ever had. It tastes like rotten milk and lavender Update: I did go back and they made me a new drink. It tasted normal but due to drinking the rotten milk, my stomach was upset and I couldn't even drink the new one. Customer service was apologetic. But due to getting sick, I don't think I will go back to this location. read more

This place was not great. We did not enjoy the experience, for the food. This is not the fault of the sole person working there on a busy Sunday afternoon. He was doing his best under the circumstances, but I don't think that even full staffing would have made it a worthy experience. Sometimes strip mall places can surprise you with the ambiance, but not this place. Imagine a strip mall boba joint, take away some of the charm, and you've got Feng Cha. We ordered at the kiosk when we went in. It was a pretty easy and straightforward process. The menu is laid out well and it's easy to navigate. We placed our order and that's when we realized that all the seating was barstool height. There were a few two-person booths near the back, which were all occupied. I helped my companion onto a barstool and waited. There were about 8 people standing in the lobby waiting when suddenly a customer stood up on a chair to inform everyone that there is only one employee to fulfill all our orders. Some folks left. Our food was ready a few minutes later. My iced tea had no ice and was still warm. The cakes had no flavor and my companion did not even finish theirs. The taro drink was good though. read more

Feng Cha is a wonderful boba chain serving a variety of items all done well. I've had Feng Cha in Dallas and appreciated the drink while thinking the boba was just okay. Washington just opened the first Feng Cha as well. Overall, I think Feng Cha excels at the drinks themselves and their boba is chewy, but not sweet or flavorful. Sugar and ice levels are adjustable as expected. Classic Green Milk Tea w/ Boba - a classic creamer heavy milk tea, but the green tea was still very present. It was light but the floral flavor surrounded the primary, creamy taste. Super refreshing, especially with the heat. Boba was mid because the flavor was lacking, but the texture is pretty standard. read more

This place is ok. You order via kiosk right in front of the desk, but there's only one. So I don't know how this works if it gets really busy. Still, it's a straight forward process though I was having a weird issue with the tap to pay and had to physically pull out my card. Anyways, the reason for the mid-rating was the drink I got. Usually when I go to a boba shop, even if I pick something random, I've generally always enjoy the drink. I can't say the same for this place. I got the Citrus Lord because I love citrus drinks and Texas is 100+ degrees but that drink was AWFUL. You know that feeling you get when you drink OJ after brushing your teeth. That's what it tasted like. read more

Feng Cha is consistently good with their drinks, the menu has a wide variety of teas, fruit flavors, and toppings, and you can customize your sugar and ice levels as expected (for most drinks). The best drinks I've tried are the mango au lait and the milk teas or tea with salty cheese foam. The cups the drinks come in are sturdier than other boba shops, so it's a nice bonus. The boba is simple - soft and chewy, but nothing special. Service is usually quick, but they are often busy. It's a nice spot to drop in and hang with friends or just to grab a drink and go! Overall, Feng Cha is one of my regular boba shops I visit in my rotation when I'm feeling in the mood for their particular drinks. They're not my favorite, but I like them enough for a revisit here and there. read more

Classic boba spot that won't disappoint after eating a heavy, savory meal. A lot of boba places in Austin close early, but Feng Cha is one of the few that you can count on to be open. Their prices are decent too -- at least relative to other expensive cities... I've only tried their fruit teas, but they are solid. Very refreshing and a good size. I will probably be coming here on a consistent basis. One day I'll try their milk tea options! read more

I haven't written a review in a while, but this place was more then deserving. I ordered 3 drinks, iced matcha, iced coffee (something), and iced milk tea. They were all AMAZING, but the matcha & coffee were my favorites out of the 3. I just quickly picked up my order but the inside of the store was clean and had quite a few tables for hanging out. The only con- the drink trays they give you are flimsy as heck and have no support. Luckily the drinks lids are on so tight there is no way you can spill it!!!! 5/5 will totally be back here. read more

Feng Cha has always been one of my go-to boba places in Austin whenever I'm in the mood for fruit teas. I am a big fan of their Kiwi Basil Green Tea and Strawberry Overload. The basil seeds in the Kiwi Basil Green Tea add a nice texture to the drink and make for a good alternative to adding boba. I like how I can also taste actual kiwi and strawberry bits in the drinks. The reason why I am giving 4 stars though is due to their inconsistency. The past 2-3 times I have gone, the sugar levels have been inconsistent. While I ask for 50%, the tea is noticeably more bitter than when I ordered from Feng Cha in the past. Hopefully this inconsistency can be resolved as I do enjoy their teas. read more

I think I've found my new Thai tea spot. Bless! Their tea is bold and flavorful. I ordered at 50% sweet and regretted it immediately as I feel like it did a disservice to all of the spices and flavors. (I added simple syrup when I got home which corrected my mistake!). It's a lot of tea for what you pay for! I'll be sipping on it all afternoon. The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance was calm, warm, and inviting.

They have a variety of drinks (milk tea, tea, slush, etc), sweetness and ice options, and flavors. The tapioca is also prepared well. I went during covid so can't comment on the experience, but it looked very cute! I got the dirty boba 50% sweet with less ice. Next time I may get 25%, it was still a little sweet for me.

Ice and sugar levels can be adjusted. They take your card to pay on their side between a plexiglass screen and then will ask if you'd like to tip. I'm conflicted in these scenarios because it's a simple counter store with no actual service and the seating is from Ranch 99. At other boba spots, there'll be wifi and seating from the actual store but this is a simple window shop. Obviously tipping is "optional" but tipping culture has been blown out of proportion so I've accepted that a default tip is something to include on any purchase when eating out and this is worsened when they hold the iPad and stare at you. Classic Milk Tea w/ Boba - first of all, boba is one of the best in the area for sure. It's chewy with a strong flavor, so it's marinated well. Classic milk tea is a simple black milk tea leaning away from the tea. The balance definitely is in favor of the creamer used. While the tea itself was nothing to write home about, the boba was fantastic and the overall boba is well made.

So, I was telling a friend I was looking for a very good Boba place. She suggested CoCo's, and I got the directions. Imagine my surprise, it was next door to a place I go to regularly. I wondered why I hadn't seen this cafe before. The inside was so cute, it had a playful side and a lounge nighttime side, if that makes sense. I can see being here at night. I bet this place is very busy at night. It actually was busy when I was there. I tried to take my pictures away from people. I ordered the Honeydew Smoothie with the Tapioca Pearls. I have to say those pearls stood out. I never had pearls taste so good; they were so tasty and chewy. I was actually stirring my straw, moving the pearls around to get a lot of them at once to come through the straw. Now, granted, on its own, the pearls were coming through, but I think I got a little greedy. I also noticed there are food items on the menu. I saw more than a few entrees I like, and some I want to try. I want to dry the Rice Ball, Fried Tofu with Peanut Sauce, and more. There's so much here to try, and I can't wait. The question is, how did I not know about CoCo's?!

I been wanting to try this bakery but the lines at the HMart location are always super long. I popped by yesterday to try their treats. Tous Les Jours is a bakery that combines French pastry techniques and Asian flavor profiles. Visually the pastries look French and draw you in as they are aesthetically beautiful. However, Asian pastries tend to be less sweet, which was the case with Tous Les Jours. The bakery had a number of sweet treats...croissants (sweet and savory), cakes, bread, to name a few. When I walked in the fresh baked pastries and bread smells filled your nostrils with a refreshing aroma. There is a small space inside for seating. There are tables and chairs outside, not fully setup, so I am not sure they were associated with Tous Les Jours. I purchased a croissant with a sausage inside. The croissant was buttery yet not too sweet. It was very enjoyable to eat. Look forward to trying other items...

Imagine my surprise when I discovered it is actually an Asian grocery store. I was in the area and decided to stop in because I buy my green tea at Asian grocery stores. The selection is incredible, and the prices are usually much better than what you'll find at big-box grocery stores. Once inside, I quickly realized that 99 Ranch Market is much more than just a grocery store. It offers a wide variety of fresh produce, live seafood, quality meats, frozen foods, snacks, and pantry staples from across Asia. One of my favorite parts of shopping at 99 Ranch is browsing the colorful packaging. Many of the products feature bold artwork, vibrant colors, and whimsical characters that make every aisle feel like a new adventure. Also, 99 Ranch also has a food court, bakery, and tea shop. Several staff members approached me asking me if I needed help. And yes...I left with my green tea. Now that I know what 99 Ranch Market really is, when I drive by I will chuckle to myself remembering that I thought it was a nightclub.

The restaurant is small inside, not so much room so be mindful if you're coming in at a busier time with more than 3 or 4 people. The employee behind the counter was very knowledgeable and we appreciated her suggestions! We decided to share the Mango Bingsu dessert--shaved ice with condensed milk, chunks of mango, mango syrup and some whipped cream on top. It was the perfect size to split between two people. It was SO good. I appreciated the large chunks of mango on top, in the middle and at the bottom of the dessert--sometimes restaurants cheat you out on fruit toppings. In addition to the sweetness and tang of the mango the condensed milk added a creaminess to it that balanced it all very well. The sweetness of the shaved ice was also surprising--almost like frozen milk. It was very refreshing. We loved it and the pricing was fair for how much goodness came from this dessert. We will definitely be back to try more of their dessert options!

Just to be clear, I AM somewhat of a subject matter expert. I have eaten all manner of fried dough creations from coast to coast, including Hawaii, and I have a lot to say on the topic. My favorite is still Cider Belly in Albany, NY, but I digress. The PB&J donut here is one of the best things I have ever eaten. I dragged it out for 3 days. Even semi-stale, and reheated in the microwave, it was still delicious. I put a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream on it which definitely helped. I also ordered a Heavenly Hash (one of my favorite ice cream flavors BTW) and a Naughty and Nice because I am all about the classics. They were both outstanding. No leftovers. I bought these donuts in lieu of birthday cake this year which may become my new tradition. Honestly, I think these are my new favorite donuts in Austin now.

Doughnuts made to order out of an airstream, you say?…read more Looks like they used to offer mini versions but that side of the menu is all mask taped over. When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

The egg was cook to perfection, the biscuit was dry though, and the gravy was a bit weird. It was more like a dressing than gravy. 3/5 Texas hash was sweet potatoes and pulled pork in what I can guess is like a curry sauce with lime, cilantros.

I was expecting more like... breakfast sweet potatoes with a side of pulled pork, didn't expect that it was all mixed in and mashed together. 5/5 free rice Krispies, this was amazing.

We were seated after a three-minute break, and I ordered the Joe Lioni. The chicken was very dense, and it pulled apart with barely any force. It was the texture that all chicken strives to be. The flavor was a three-way gradient: Strong lemon; to soft, heavy chicken, to a slow-building spiciness that faded quickly and painlessly. I was finished with the first piece, and about to move on to the second, but my father and sister suggested that I eat some of the spaghetti. The taste and texture can only be described as the feeling on a hike, when you come into a clearing with the sun gently filtering through the trees, and you know and enjoy that there is more to come. Very subtle and light. The pasta and chicken paired more perfectly than anything I have ever eaten before. After I finished, I got the stracciatelli cannoli, that is, the chocolate chip cannoli. I was given the cannoli, as well as a surprise bonus: the Brown Butter gelato. It was amazing. It's the next step up from custard. The cannoli was crispy, brittle, and the ricotta was smooth and rich Scraping my plate on all of these. Like a dream. Prices were somewhat steep, but worth it. 10/10

We just had such a fantastic experience - everything..the vibe..the red light fixtures and the color of the booths and the floor..the service - our server was great..loved their outfits..really had an old school little italy feel to it. The food was much better than I even anticipated - as a guy who grew up on NJ diner mozzarella sticks, I have a high bar for them and these were magnificent. And seriously...taking the "everything's bigger in Texas" slogan and applying them to mozzarella sticks?! top 10 achievements of the decade. The chicken parm was perfect - well seasoned, proper amount of crisp..the basil on top...the perfect browning of the cheese. Also the lasanga was excellent..and best part - the leftovers..took it home and the next two days put them in a small cast iron and re-heated them..and the magic was right there in my hill country kitchen! Lastly and certainly not least - the cannoli...just look at the photo below.. I'll say, yes, the place is pricey but you can really easily split these entrees and then it becomes cheaper than a jersey strip center Italian joint. I haven't stopped raving about Sammie's since I've been there, and I cannot wait to return, recommend it, and take friends and family that visit.
