    Nut allergy friendly, still just let them know. Parking here is awful (have to pay to be in the garage) so I wouldn't go out of my way to find this place. I'm not a huge fan of Gong Cha and this location is no exception. The oolong milk tea has very little tea flavor. The sweetness is alright at 30%. The boba texture was a bit too stiff and doesn't really have any flavor.

    Caramel Chocolate
    Jennifer H.

    This gong cha is located inside a food court near University of Texas. We came in the afternoon on Memorial Day, and there was no line. I got the chocolate caramel with boba, which was sooo good. I got less ice and 30% sweetness. It had a great flavor, and the boba was the perfect texture. It was just the right amount of sweetness. Perfect for a hot day. There could have been more boba, but overall I was content

    Strawberry Milk Tea

    I went to buy a pink strawberry milk smoothie, instead I was given a brown tea with red strawberry jelly bits crushed up in there. The drink wasn't good and tasted watered down, the red haired employee was also very standoffish and inattentive.

    3 Earl Grey Milk Tea with 3Js
    Darian C.

    I get the combo drink (the 3 Js). It's the price of a regular drink but come with 3 toppings (herbal jelly, egg pudding, and boba). I tried their fruit teas before and I didn't really like it, I think it is too sweet even when I asked for less sugar. Their green milk tea is a bit too light for my taste too. I like their brown sugar boba but because I am stingy, the 3 Js is what I usually order and J always like it! It is a bit filling though so i ask for less boba and usually order a medium (the picture is a large though).

    Brown Sugar Milk Tea
    Lauren H.

    I got the brown sugar milk tea and a large was only $5! I feel like that's pretty cheap for any drink these days. It's inside Dobie food court and there is street parking or a garage nearby (all parking is paid). I went around 1 pm on a Thursday and there was no line and they made the drink quickly. I thought it tasted delicious and if I'm near UT campus again, I'll stop in!

    strawberry green tea and lemon aiyu
    Erin L.

    I always stop by here to get a refreshing drink! I normally get the strawberry green tea with coconut jelly or the lemon aiyu with star jelly. I prefer their fruit teas over their milk teas, although they are all very good. Their drinks are on the sweeter side, so I recommend not getting the full 100% sugar. They make the drinks very quickly but driving around the area is sometimes really annoying and it is hard to find parking.

    Strawberry Milk Tea
    Jenna Z.

    I was very excited to get the strawberry milk tea based on the picture but what a disappointment!!!! First of all, the color is completely not correct! It looks and tastes like they just mixed milk tea with some strawberry chunks. I'm really unhappy with how this turned out, it doesn't taste good at all and it doesn't look good either. Very sad, I've always really liked this gongcha and it's been my go to for boba on campus. :(

    Gong line, long line

    If you wanna get drunk, go instead to a GONG BAR If you live nowhere near Katy, this location is too GONG FAR Unless you don't mind a nice ride in your GONG CAR To come and get a Dirty Milk Tea here at GONG CHA If they get all hipster they might serve drinks in a Mason GONG JAR If the sharp end of the straw cuts your face, you'll get a GONG SCAR I like to take slutty picture here, along with my Porn GONG STAR But if you want the best milk teas, come to GONG CHA WHAT Busy but friendly location of Gong Cha which was the first place - no, the second place - where we saw the cardboard cutout of that pale cute guy and people posing with him and molesting him and whatnot. Good Brown Sugar Milk Tea and Ginger Milk Tea and grapefruit products and well worth stopping by if you like this stuff - especially the reliable kind that you get from a major chain. But their new "dirty" menu is where it's at. See below. What to get: Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea, Strawberry Milk Tea, Regular Milk Tea, Waffle w/Boba if they have one. What not to get: Inseminated by your bf's micro-prong-cha. Gong Cha is one of the best chains there is, especially if they have some of their standout items such as the Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea on their new Dirty menu, and I also recommend the surprisingly excellent Strawberry Milk Tea, or the regular Milk Tea. Certainly the milk teas are the highlight for me, and these three are exemplary. This location is packed with college kids, right on UT campus, inside the Dobie Mall, and you'll love it if you love the Gong. Now speaking of Gongs, if loving you is Gong Cha, I don't wanna be right.

    The service was quick and friendly. I had the matcha latte with 70% sweetness and it tasted great with the perfect level of sweetness. My girlfriend ordered the dirty brown sugar milk tea with boba and she loved it. There's a large space with plenty of seats to wait at for your drink. The setting is overall great for getting some good drinks and studying.

    Taro, no ice no sugar
    Jeffrey Y.

    9/23/2021 Came here with two friends! My first time trying boba in Austin and first time around the UT Austin campus. Small little boba place, very busy when we went! Staffed by very friendly group of at least five, most of whom seemed to be students of East Asian ancestry. Line of about 8-9 people, with a similar number waiting for their order to be filled. I ordered a large taro drink in the Creative Series with no ice and no sugar, on account of a recent cold and sore throat, and had to wait quite a long time for my order as their existing taro blend was at half sugar. Both my friends had received their orders (large milk tea and medium taro) after about 8 minutes. After 14 minutes, I inquired the status of the taro, and a guy with blonde dyed hair cheerfully said, "It'll come along." I asked again to a different person 23 minutes into my order, and it appeared they just forgot it, yikes. They made the drink in a minute and gave it to me. Taro drink was very delicious despite no sugar! Having not been at a collegiate food place since June '19, it felt invigorating to be around so many young students. Waiting 20+ min for boba is not so fun. 4 stars baseline. -2 stars for forgetting my order completely, +1 star for quick comeback.

    For my pearl milk tea, I ordered it with little sugar and light ice. The boba pearls are nice and jelly-like and the tea itself tastes like sweet milk it was overall pretty refreshing and light. I think I may do a series at Gong cha and try/review their top flavors (it's just an excuse to drink more boba but just go along with it)

    Mango Yogurt Drink with Boba
    Anthony M.

    Finally got to try Gong Cha. Can't believe I didn't try them out when I was a UT student. Anyways, I got their Mango Yogurt Drink with Boba. Very sweet drink as the mango puree comes out strong, so not much sugar needs to be added here. In fact, the yogurt gives it a smooth balance of flavors. All in all, they have a good variety to choose from and prices are fair. Satisfied!

    Call me a boba snob, but I have a hard time finding spots that I really love. Anyone can do boba…read morebut Terrazzo does it exceptionally well. Ive been here a few times over the years and they never disappoint. I normally get their In A Mood and it is perfection every time. Literally the most refreshing and tropical beverage without being too sweet (I always opt for less sugar which might contribute to that). My partner is far more adventurous and tries new things every time we go so Ive had a sip of their other offerings as well and they are also very yummy! My only gripe in that I no longer live nearby so its harder to make the trek to Terrazzo but I try to come whenever the opportunity strikes!

I've tried the pandan tea with tea (grass) jelly, in a mood, married to the melon, black sesame matcha, and let's go ski (winter melon). All were great, but the black sesame matcha really stood out. It actually tastes like real matcha! Their housemade tea jelly is such a nice touch, soft, fragrant, and adds the perfect texture. The shop has a calm, modern vibe and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Definitely one of my favorite boba spots in Austin.

The drinks are better and service was fast. You self order on the kiosk and pay. Then staff will call out your name and you pick up your drink and go. It's a small shop but it's perfect to grab and go. There are limited seats and tables there. We ordered: Coco Kumquat with honey boba 4/5: it's exactly what it is for the name of the drink. Very kumquat forward and it was refreshing. I added & grass jelly to it. honeydew smoothie with honey bob 5/5 I usually don't like smoothies or milky drinks but this honeydew flavor was so good and it wasn't milky. Perfect balance! The honeydew was distant and not super artificial flavored. Do I recommend this place? Yes! Our go to for boba place in MT Market shopping center. Their boba and service is way better than their competitor. Easy Fast and tasty

I was wondering why it came out so fast and that it wouldn't be good since it was likely already pre-made, however it tasted great and Milk + tea has secured another customer in me.
