Found a matcha spot in South Congress and decided to give it a try! I got the magik matcha (the blue one) 16oz. It's a little pricey but the matcha flavor was good (usually I prefer it a bit stronger though). You can taste the vanilla syrup flavor so make sure you stir really well before you take a sip! The drink overall was refreshing, especially on a hot summer day! Just be aware that the lid where the straw goes in is super stiff so it might break your straw if you try to stir it too hard. No seating - it's just a window that you order from!
Hidden small clean and cute matcha spot in Austin. Good customer service. The matcha is good and vibrant colors What I ordered: Magick Matcha Pink dream
Walking Congress, I worked up a thirst for some ube matcha. This was a walk up window located right on the main street. Loved the combo of ube and matcha, two of my absolute faves. I added oat milk for $1 extra. Although the drink was yummy, it was rather expensive for a small cup that included ice $8.25. It went down fast, a larger size for the price would have made it more enjoyable....
The ube matcha was good but I wouldn't say it was anything special. I would come back for a midday pick me up.
I finally got to try Magick Matcha on South Congress, and the place was really tiny. You order out of the window and they'll make it inside. I tried the Banana Pudding Matcha, I thought it would have the pudding on the top (like the dessert) but it was blended in the drink instead. It was $9+ but it just tasted like the Korean banana milk you could get at Hmart. I couldn't taste the matcha at all, and they also didn't have whipped cream on top. There was only one person working at the time so it took a bit for the drink to come out. Personally, I wouldn't come back since there's La La Land right down the road.
This matcha place is window pick-up only. They have lots of options to choose from. I decided to try their Magick Matcha and man it was so good. Their matcha is not extremely sweet like most places. I have never been to a matcha place that made it remotely similar to how I make my matcha at home! This place is worth every penny in your wallet.
Rating: 3.5/5 We got a 16 oz Iced Magick Matcha ($8.25) with CBD (+$2), which felt pricey given the ice-to-liquid ratio. We asked for it to be a bit sweeter, and they added vanilla syrup for an extra $1--something the cashier didn't mention upfront. That said, it did taste much better and helped mask the CBD flavor. The texture was smooth (not grainy this time), and the matcha had a beautiful, vibrant green color.
Cute little matcha window if your shopping S Congress. I had the ube matcha which reminded me or a cereal milk-esque latte, super delicious and more decadent. My partner snagged the spirulina blue match which was more light and refreshing. Both delicious and taste high quality matcha.
Magick Matcha is BOMB. My friend was in town visiting and read about it so we went, and I liked the variety on the menu. I had a seasonal drink which was the banana matcha (comes with banana cream and a nilla wafter - it was super sweet but combined GREAT with the matcha). My friend had the blue magic matcha which is basically made with spirulina to give it the blue color. You could taste it a bit, but it's subtle. They had an ube matcha I also wanted to try - will have to go back another time. Of note, it is literally just a coffee window in Congress, there is nowhere to sit and it is right in the sun. There's also only one person working and she was great/friendly/helpful but that means after someone orders, everyone waits to order while she makes those drinks so it can take a while. Nevertheless - I was super satisfied with my drink and my friend loved hers (both $8 each). Would def come back!
Loved my experience here. The service was fast and friendly and the mellow matcha was yummy!
I love it here!! The service is so fun, the matcha soft serve has my heart and I'm OBSESSED with the ube matcha if you're looking for the vibe of good ol' Austin, look no further, it's right here. Thank you to all the sweeties that make my day:)
The only other place I know you can get a matcha is at Joes on the strip so I was so excited to see this place because I love matcha. I'll also say it's harder to find different takes on matcha and so I loved that this menu was dedicated to various matcha preparation. While there is some educational papers on the window they never say it's ceremonial grade and the preparation is more fun and pretty as opposed to serious cup BUT it was pretty and delicious, so I'm not complaining. I got a small, which is 12 oz. You do need to completely stir the drink in order to evenly mix the beverage even though the ombré looks pretty and if you're not looking, you will pass this place so quickly. I would love to try some more flavors and maybe some add ins.
I enjoyed the matcha here a lot! It was creamy and just the right amount of matcha intensity for me. I usually prefer drinks like this to be lighter. It's also just really cute and on SoCo so it's perfect if you're visiting already. I will say it is a bit pricey. And at the time there was only one worker so the wait was quite a while since they were taking orders and also making the drinks.
I think blue drinks are so fascinating and am a sucker for trying one whenever on the menu. Also, I have an unholy obsession for all things matcha. So here we are - having them combined! Heaven on earth for me. My family took me here and I was shocked to see that it was just a little window between stores on a street of all the things. I was surprised that it wasn't busy, despite being in the middle of a hot day on the weekend where a cold drink like the ones on their menu would be the perfect treat. The prices were typical. Line wasn't too long nor was the wait for our drinks. Parking is your typical city street spots. I'll consider popping by here again if we're ever in the area exploring again! read more

Hot day in Austin...needed something cold to eat. Decided on an Ube matcha soft serve treat at Magick Matacha. I am not a huge fan of Ube, but the Ube matcha ice cream combination sounded appealing. It was refreshing and surprisingly, melted slowly. Yummy cool treat in the Texas heat... Magick Matcha, is a walk-up window, that serves coffee drinks and soft serve ice cream. If you are not paying close attention, you may miss it. Because there is no seating out front, you must be intentional in searching for it or like me, just got lucky. There is a cowgirl seating on a half moon right above the spot...like magick. One person rings up guests as well as prepares their order. Fortunately, for me I was the only one in line so my order was prepared quickly. It is a cool little walk up spot... read more

Solid walk-up spot for matcha if you're strolling along South Congress. Their menu features a fun variety of flavors, and I appreciate that the drinks are usually well balanced and never overly sweet. The matcha itself is not the strongest--the flavor can taste a little watered down, and the quality is just okay--but the creative combinations and laid-back vibe still make it an enjoyable stop. read more

This was like a tiny little counter hole-in-the-wall. I hesitated because there was just one person behind the window making each drink and there was a line on this very cold day, but I really wanted a matcha latte and I didn't want to veer too far from this main stretch of stores. I got the Pink Dream. The matcha quality was good, and everything was mixed silky-smoooth. That's pretty much all I look for in an iced matcha latte. The beet flavor was strong, a little stronger than I had anticipated. But I guess, in retrospect, the matcha is also earthy, so I see the complement. The strawberry flavor is not quiet as strong. I think this place is worth trying if you partake in all of the extras you could add to the drinks here. For me, I don't, so I would not go out of my way to visit here. read more

Hole in the wall with great matcha drinks! I am a tea lover and was really interested in the speciality drinks they have. The Magick Matcha includes blue magick, which has a lovely sweet flavor, and coconut water. After I drank most of the blue, I mixed the drink and was able to taste a lot of matcha. If you like the more authentic matcha, this is it. The matcha is from Japan and has the traditional bitter tea taste. Also tried the hojicha, which was wonderful too! The drinks have a strong tea flavor, especially at the end. You can choose the type of milk you want. Almond and oat cost more. Two sizes, get the 16oz for sure! It's $1 more. You may also add CBD or THC for a few extra bucks (I didn't in my drinks). It's kinda difficult to see where it's at if you're just looking from the street, but if you are walking around Allens Boots, you'll see the green sign. There was a line, but it took about 10 min to get our drinks-pretty quick! I would love to come back again the next time I'm passing by Soco! read more

I LOVE this place. I've been multiple times, tried multiple menu items, and have always enjoyed my experience. It's the definition of hole in the wall, just a little walk up window on SoCo. If you're shopping around and in need of a refreshment, this is the place. Drinks: I've had the ube matcha and the blue magick. The ube is my favorite but the blue magick is a very close second. They are on the sweeter side so if that's not your thing, I would suggest the lemonade or a more classic matcha drink which they also have. Parking: Paid street parking only. read more

I love Matcha, especially strong and thick/creamy Matcha. This did not meet my expectations at all. It's pretty, but literally tastes like water. Not for me and incredibly overpriced. read more

Tried the magick matcha and it was pretty good. You can really taste the coconut and vanilla flavor and it's a sweeter drink for sure but I feel like it's easy to miss the matcha. It's a nice drink when it's hot out and you're walking around for sure! It's a small order window between two other stores so I didn't notice it at first but I think it's a cool concept. And the person at the window was really nice and I got the drink pretty quick. read more

I came here with my girlfriend after a stroll down Congress on a hot day and the drinks were incredible. The store operates out of a little hole in the wall window next to the boot barn. There was a considerable line when we arrived, but we were in line for no more than 10 minutes. I ordered the lemonade match and my girlfriend got the pink matcha. Both matchas tasted excellent. I could tell they used high quality ceremonial grade matcha. The service was also excellent and prices very reasonable for matcha. I would return here on a trip back to Austin. read more
Came here on a Sunday afternoon and there were a bunch of people waiting to order. It took a while for them to make our drink, but I think it is worth the wait. We ordered the magick matcha and hojicha latte - I really enjoyed the hojicha latte because it is not very sweet. The magick matcha is a bit on the sweet side and I'm not the biggest fan of the coconut water at the bottom. Overall, I think it is worth a four star considering the fact that it is more expensive than most coffee shops in the area. Parking is very tricky on Congress during the weekend so I highly recommend you coming during the weekdays or do a rideshare. read more
Cute little matcha shop/window on south congress. We were waiting on the block to get permanent jewelry made, and saw this line for the matcha. They offer some interesting flavors, ube or this blue that I forget what exactly it was. I went with the pink which is beet root. You can also add cbd or thc. After ordering it came out pretty fast, and tasted yummy! read more
The drinks sure look pretty but taste nothing like matcha. We got magick matcha and pink dream. All I tasted from my magick matcha was vanilla. My friend had the pink dream and she also didn't taste any matcha. The drinks are really really sweet. read more

I have never had matcha as bad as this one. I got the magic mellow and the strawberry dream. The strawberry dream was extremely bitter and the other one slightly better. Before mixing the matcha, the flavor concentrate at the bottom was good. But after mixing it was basically inedible. I do not understand the hype. I couldn't even finish the matcha. Do not recommend. read more

The matcha was pretty small for the price. They served it out quickly tho. I kept passing by it because I didn't like realize it was just a tiny pop up window to order but there's a sign. I do think I have had better matchas but it was not bad and their options looked decent read more
