One of my favorite places in B/CS for milk tea and baked goods. I try a new baked good at every visit and they are all equally delicious. It's usually crowded with students studying and socializing but today was a treat as I had the place to myself for a couple of minutes. There are two seating sections: one side is filled with tables and chairs and the other side has one long bench with tables and chairs. I chose to sit in the half chair and half bench section. It was spacious and comfortable. I placed my order and received my drink within minutes. I am a frequent visitor therefore my tasty drink was free today. I recommend using their punch card because after 9 drinks, the 10th drink is free.
Came here for the first time. Ordered the Brûlée Boba Tea which was recommended because it's super popular. Once I saw them hand torched the brûlée at the top, I knew it was good lol. My wife and I love Kung Fu, thought it was the best that BCS had to offer, until we found this place. Drink is very flavorful and delicious. Boba balls are fresh with good textures. Overall, decent price for the quality and size of this drink. We will definitely be back. The staff are friendly and fast. They also sell food and pastries here. Lots of tables and chairs to dine on. Lots of parking as well.
I came here right at opening to study for the day and was surprised to see a couple of people had already beat me here. The environment is nice to study in but I wish there were a few more outlets. I love the assortment of drinks, food, and desserts! Service was pretty quick and they keep the cafe super tidy and clean. I chose to get the Asian Style Chicken Sandwich and I was pleasantly surprised! The chicken was flavorful and the Mayo they used was delicious! The bread was nice and soft, kind of reminding me of a Hawaiian roll. The tea itself is okay, but the coconut jelly is pretty good. The popcorn chicken I got was nice and crispy and super flavorful as well. I appreciate the large serving, however I wish they offered sweet chili sauce instead of ketchup on the side. Overall my experience has been incredibly pleasant and I love their weekly deals! $10 for food and a drink is a steal and I'll be coming back!
I wanted to gatekeep this place so badly, but it's just too good not to share. My friends and I absolutely love coming here, especially with the great deal they have on Monday through Thursday. We all got the chicken popcorn with a small drink, and let me tell you, it's such a steal! The chicken popcorn is really yummy--tender on the inside, perfectly seasoned, and topped with yummy basil. For drinks, I highly recommend trying the Iron Goddess tea. It's like a roasted oolong, with a deep, rich flavor that's just delicious. I've also tried the Assam milk tea and osmanthus tea, which you can't go wrong with as well. I typically go for milk teas but my friends say they like the fruit teas too! The boba pearls usually have that perfect QQ texture, though this last time they were a little firmer than usual. But honestly, that's just a small thing, and it didn't take away from how much I enjoyed everything. Iron Goddess Milk Tea - 8.5/10 Assam Milk Tea - 7/10 Osmanthus Milk Tea - 7/10 Popcorn Chicken - 7.8/10 The interior is so cute and has just the right vibes--clean, cozy, and inviting. It's the kind of place that feels like a little retreat, which is perfect when you're in the middle of a busy day or need a place to study. Plus, don't forget to bring your stamp card because after 10 drinks, your next one is free (including a topping)! I haven't tried the bakery items or sandwiches yet, but they're definitely on my list for next time. The service here is always quick, and the employees are friendly, which makes the experience even better. If you're in College Station, definitely swing by and support this awesome local small business. With limited options in the area, Koala Bakery & Cafe is a real gem.
Sincerely the nicest boba shop I've ever visited this far. I came in with 3 kids all over the place...3 kids wanting SOMETHING boba but not knowing anything for sure...and these people patiently guided us (the kids) through the process of finding a drink they loved and I couldn't ask for more. The milk tea wasn't too sweet, which I loved, but you could up the sweetness level. These also were mini bobas in our drinks...I'm not sure if they offer regular size, I'd have to look. But the customer service was top notch. So helpful and patient =)
Was going to hit up another tea house but they weren't opened yet. THIS Is the place. Tea flavored perfectly and the lychee jelly has great size and texture. stars!
Cute little boba shop and bakery close to TX A&M. The shrimp pasta was good but a bit over priced. The koala brown sugar boba was good but I would get it without the boba next time (I don't want to chew while I'm drinking). The pastries were fantastic and well worth a visit when you're in town.
They have a wonderful selection of baked goods on the counter. They are an Asian style bakery so they have things like coconut bread and the sausage bread in case you need a quick snack. They have milk tea and fruit teas in addition to a hot food menu. I will say that I think they have the best chicken sandwich in town. It's very chill and relaxed in there. It's great if you want to hang out with friends and catch up. If you like the cafe setting to study there's not a lot of space but they have wifi so have at it. Also MSU faculty/staff/students get discounts on Wednesday. The strip mall they're in is pretty busy but it does have a pretty sizeable lot.
This shop has the best milk tea in College Station, pun not intended. Perfect sweetness, rich and creamy, a tad bit expensive, but overall a quality product. The food here is also really good (especially the popcorn chicken that they make with curry leaves). The buns and cakes and tarts are also worth trying out.
Their takoyaki is delicious. Their drinks are good. We ordered mango mango cheese, strawberry matcha latte, and brown sugar milk tea. They have a variety of pastries and snacks, which I need to try next time.
Busy and small, but still a nice place to study -- most seats have outlets nearby. It's brightly lit and clean inside. A good place to hang out with friends. - drinks are pretty solid -- have had the matcha, Thai tea, and a coffee drink - takoyaki was a bit soggy and salty, but not bad overall - chocolate mousse cheesecake is very good -- decadent and flavorful - biscoff cheesecake had an oily crust and tastes too gelatinous They have a weekday sandwich/pastry/cake and drink special which is a great deal. The staff is really friendly/nice, and service is fast.

Ordered popcorn chicken and gyozas. The gyozas were perfectly fried and came with soy sauce. Popcorn chicken was very tasty and generous. We ordered popping mango tea and thai milk tea with tapioca. Everything was incredible! The ambience is great, only a little cold. Totally a must when around the area. The best thing they have is the brown sugar milk tea. Only note: they only have regular and lactose free milk. read more

Cute bakery and tea/boba spot. The oolong milk tea with coffee jelly was good! I give the drink a 5/5 but the cap on the cup was loose and I spilled the drink on myself so minus points for practical quality control. The dirty bun was soggy and it came RAW -I was pretty upset about this because we also got a strawberry cream bun and that one was fine. Like 2 bites into the bun I kept wondering why the texture was so doughy and wet, I ripped the bun in half and the inside is just completely raw dough and a chunk of cream cheese (which is probably the issue here) idk if we just got a bad batch but it was inedible I had to throw it away... The bakery items are okay and not the greatest but it's nice to see an Asian bakery in cstat serving good milk tea. Seating is limited since there are mostly students studying so we had to go to the car. read more

The service is amazing. The wings were amazing. The desserts are amazing. I stumbled upon this restaurant when a student's parents gave me a Koala gift card for Christmas. Eating there was like Christmas morning all over again. read more

I'm just excited to finally have an Asian bakery in the BCS area! Their mango fruit cups are a lightly sweet and refreshing dessert! The chicken is okay, but could use a little more of the Koala seasoning. I haven't found a favorite bread here yet but will keep searching. It's cute inside with a decent amount of seating, and the workers are super friendly! read more

Cute place, cute package, but the pastries are more pricey compared to houston. Smaller portion, and doesn't taste that good. I tried the strawberry bread, and it's chewy, really not a fan. The crepe cake has a thick layer, which is not good. And the mango jelly on top is on the hard side instead of soft. The rose milk drink tasted more like milk, I could barely taste anything else but milk. I also don't recommend the Chicken popcorn. It tasted bland. In summary, quality of food and drink are bad, pricey, but cute package. So if you are just looking for ambiance, this is the place, otherwise, pass. read more

Tried out Koala as I have been craving milk tea and saw it recommended on the BCS Meals & Deals FB page. The place is so cute. The inside of the restaurant is very relaxed. The staff are kind and friendly. I got the Coconut Heaven milk tea with brown sugar boba, the coconut bread bun and the Tiramisu crepe cake. Everything I had was delicious! The milk tea was creamy and sweet with wonderful coconut flavor. The brown sugar boba was so yummy and chewy! The house made coconut bread was perfect! Everything was fantastic! So much so that I went back for more since I was on call and wanted a snack before heading out to see a patient. I got the coconut milk tea again and opted for the calamari this time since it's evening. The calamari is perfectly cooked, it's got a little kick to it but not too much. It is a tad salty but that's not keeping me from eating it. Definitely a new fave place! A couple of things to note, you can actually choose the sweetness level of your drink. You can ask for less sweet or even more sweet! You can also choose from different boba or topping for your drink which I like having the option for that. read more

Koala has delicious food and even better drinks! Everything is made fresh daily and it shows! The cups are reusable and perfect for making your own boba tea at home :) They're missing some items because they just opened, but they're going to be a huge hit when college students return! Chill atmosphere for studying and wonderful service! Shoutout to Olivia and Becky! read more

Ordered through DoorDash and the food arrived hot and fresh. Everything was so good! And the packaging it came in was super cute. I got the teriyaki chicken bowl which was delicious, along with a chocolate crepe cake slice and a witch's brew which I believe is seasonal. Both were perfectly sweet without being 'too' much. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends!! read more

Asian bread was delicious. I got the red bean bread (my favorite) and it was good. Also got the Mango cheese while my husband got the strawberry cheese. Both were good and refreshing and came in nice reusable cups. Drink prices were similar to Good Luck Good Time but $1-2 more expensive than Kungfu Tea. Bread was any a dollar more than is pay in Houston or from the local Asian market, but I saw them making it fresh I the back when I went to the restroom. read more

I wish the stuff and the business owner would have tasted their drink before serving it to customers. The coffee jelly this place uses must been weeks old or just really horrible quality. It's got a nasty taste that makes me physically sick after taking a sip of this drink. It's almost like I'm drinking dish water. The worst milk tea experience ever in my life. We had to throw away the entire drink because how nasty the taste is. read more
