I don't want to sound like a boomer, but... though a bunch of kids work here, they know what they're doing. This is hands-down the best milk tea I've ever had. The cream ratio is perfect and the tea is actually steeped. I'm still working my way through the menu, but my current obsession: the Fire Phoenix--a smoky oolong tea that's unlike anything else I've tried. The only change I would note: dial down the sweetness. PARKING: Since Milk+Tea is located in the Crescent Shopping Center, expect hell in the form of parking. While they offer a convenient drive-thru, it can either be a blessing or a nightmare for those ordering in. ATMOSPHERE: You'll find groups of friends hanging out, students studying, and people trying to get sh-- done. I don't know how it works with an assortment of groups into one space, but somehow it does. read more

Milk+Tea - Jasmine Green Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Creamy, strong tea flavor, and boba with wonderful texture. A! Ordered the classic milk tea to go and the drink was fantastic. I am looking for creaminess with great tea flavor and this delivered. Some places have great tea flavor but don't deliver on the creamy texture and at that point, why did I order a milk tea. The one aspect that really surprised me was the consistency of the boba. On the day of, boba was chewy and bouncy. I didn't want to chug the drink at the end of the night so I put it in the fridge. To my surprise, the boba was still chewy the next day! Most boba would have hardened. Awesome place, will visit again. read more

THE BIG: Boba spot in a standalone building sharing walls with 85 degrees. Beautiful and modern interior with plenty of hangout and chill vibes. Parking lot available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here after a dinner at B2J tastypot and boy that was delicious! I like how you can customize your drink with level of sweetness, ice, and syrups you want put in. I ordered the black boba milk tea and it came out so fast. 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. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Damage done was $8 for a black boba milk tea. Very affordable and tastes really good. PLUS it's highly customizable, looks like this one has converted. read more

I have tried a lot of drinks from milk+tea and I love their milk tea series and smoothies. I went with friends and we got: Strawberry Matcha, Hojicha Einspanner, and Mango Cloud. As someone who loves matcha, I've always wanted to try hojicha (but I'm scared I might not like it), but I finally tried hojicha today from milk+tea and it was surprisingly really good. I got the hojicha einspanner (the only hojicha drink on the menu) and it came with a cream top, which didn't have much taste to it, but the drink overall was delicious. The hojicha has like a floral and chocolaty taste and no grassiness at all. My friends all tried it and said they would 100% pick this over matcha. I didn't like the strawberry matcha as much since the strawberry flavor was too sweet and strong, it didn't go well with the drink. If I was to get matcha from here, I would probably try the double matcha or banana matcha. You have to try their hojicha though!! Highly recommend! read more

Pretty cozy bubble tea place. It's in the strip mall at the corner of Airport and Lamar. Gets swamped at times. Seating is pretty plentiful. Plenty of students tend to congregate here, sometimes working alone or on projects. There are other Milk + Tea places in the area, but this one is in one of the busiest locations. It sports a drive-thru and claw machine. I've never tried the drive-thru. Nor am I a claw machine expert. The beverage menu is extensive; plenty of different options. I don't think I've ever really gotten bubble tea from here. I've had their Mulberry Freeze and Uji Matcha, with 0% sugar, since it's naturally sweet enough. They use the SnackPass and they also offer some food options to nibble. Once you place your order, you'll need to wait for your order. Take a seat on the curvy couches at the center and chill. Or at one of the tables. The bathroom is at the rear left of the facility (left of the neon Milk + Tea sign). read more

Got the Classic Milk Tea, it was solid. Boba texture was good. Tea to milk ratio was good. No complaints. They have a hugeeee menu that include coffee and matcha. The store itself is very girly and cute. They also have a drive thru! read more

As far as boba is concerned, Milk + Tea is honestly the gold standard in my mind, and if I'm anywhere near one when the craving hits it's 100% the one I'm headed to. All the drinks just stand out as exceptional, for some reason. Just very creamy, flavorful, boba with the perfect consistency, and a menu that's informatively marked up with any information you would possibly need. They also allow full customization which is largely standard now, but some places actually still don't which is surprising. I go with light ice, 25% sugar, and it's still very sweet and delicious every time. I'd say my favorites are the classic Taro, and the creamy mango drink. read more

This place ripped me off today. I've been coming regularly since this location opened, but after today's experience, never again. I ordered the matcha cloud w/no ice. The employee gave me the standard warning that the cup will not be completely full. This is standard at all boba places and unless I'm getting the grapefruit smash slushie, I ALWAYS get no ice for my drinks here, so I'm familiar with the policy. Except when my order comes out, the cup was BARELY half full. The top of the cream came up to the halfway mark. The actual milk and matcha drink itself was 1/3 of the cup. I pointed out the issue to an employee, and the manager came out saying this was expected. I explained to him that while I didn't expect a full cup, I always get no ice for my drinks and the cups have always been 75% full and I expected the same here. After some back and forth, he finally agreed to add some milk. The picture is what the final drink looked like. You can see that the actual liquid comes up halfway but even with the foam, the cup's not even 75% full. Every other boba place, INCLUDING this location, usually just leaves about a 1-inch gap from the top if a drink has no ice. This was a total rip off for a $7 drink, and the manager even tried to blame me by saying they don't normally allow for no ice for their matcha drinks. Ok, so why didn't the employee tell me that when I made my order? Why was I allowed to get the coconut matcha with no ice several weeks ago? Their drink quality has been hit or miss for a while now; after today's experience, I see no reason to come back. Hui Lau Shan, B2J Tasty Pot, and Chicha San Chen all offer great dessert experiences within the same general area. read more

This trendy boba shop is bustling on the weekend. I got the Mango Snow and it was deliciously creamy. It is a blended smoothie with freshly cut mango and swirled with sea cream. You can definitely taste that it was made with fresh mango. Yum! The swirls of colors are pretty. I customized it with Golden Boba and 50% sugar. I typically like desserts a little less sweet, so glad they could accommodate. Even though it was busy, they were able to make my drink quickly. They have a good amount of seating inside and looks like it's a nice study spot enjoyed by students too. read more

Got the green thai tea. In my opinion it isn't as good as 7 leaves green thai tea. The tea they use is very floral like a jasmine tea and we did 50% sugar and it still was SOOO SWEET. The cup it comes in is very cute and thick. I felt bad throwing it away. Inside it's definitely aesthetic and a place you probably could get work done. They have food here as well so I would consider coming back. read more

I got the Hokkaido milk tea, and it's a black tea, and it tasted great! It's a bit bitter, but the milk helps dilute the bitterness a bit. I kind of reminded me of coffee. If you don't like bitter flavors or don't like black tea, I probably wouldn't recommend it, but otherwise, I think it's a good flavor! The worker was very courteous and answered a lot of drink questions my friend and I had. The interior was cute with quite a lot of seating. It's a pretty good study space imo. read more

Milk Tea is a cute boba shop tucked away between an Asian bakery and the rest of the strip mall. It has a nice, clean interior and seemed well liked considering the long line at the drive through. We opted for a classic taro milk tea with boba and it was very good, maybe the best taro we've had in Austin. We also ordered the beignet fries which were delicious as well. If you're in the area looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth we recommend a stop by this location, it will be worth your time. read more

Great drinks, but parking is HORRENDOUS! Not from the area, it might be less packed during the week.. I hope. Anyways, went to drive thru since it was impossible to get a parking spot. Tried a smoothie and a yogurt drink. Tasted great, not too sweet. However, the bubbles could be better... they only have one size and golden bubble. It was chewy with good texture but tasted bland. Didn't go inside, wanted to run from the plaza once we got the drinks. Price was decent and drinks came out in adequate timing. Would be back when it's less populated. read more

Their boba SLAPS here! I've had boba from a lot of places and all of them do things that other stores but milk+tea do it all. The boba and popping pearls are delicious and fresh. The drinks have just the perfect amount of ice which for these awfully hot days are exactly what I need. The drinks themselves are so sweet and taste incredible. The worker behind the counter was also unbelievably friendly. I always find myself looking for friendly service when I go places since I enjoy welcoming spots to eat/drink and this place nailed it. Their customer service was top tier. Keep it up!!! I suggest getting the classic or mango with strawberry popping pearls, the mango was perfect!!! Inside feels so nice and casual. I walked in to a couple of students on their computers and a family in the corner playing the claw machine. What a comfy spot to sit with friends and enjoy yourself. read more

Great Drinks, but a Few Kinks to Work Out Stopped by Milk + Tea recently and had a pretty solid boba experience overall! We ordered the Taro Milk Tea with reduced sweetness and it was really good! It was creamy, flavorful, and not overly sugary like some places tend to make it. That said, next time we'll probably go with even less sweet to let the taro flavor shine through even more. We also tried the Coco Mango with aloe boba, which had a great tropical flavor combo, but it was so frozen that we couldn't actually sip anything through the straw. Plus, the aloe boba was oddly large, the boba was too big to even fit through the straw! After a few attempts, we gave up and just ripped the lid off and ate it like a snack cup. Still tasty, just not super practical. The shop itself was cute and the staff was friendly, but the drink execution could use a little fine-tuning. Definitely coming back though!! read more

This shopping center is a nightmare during prime time, but if you're craving boba in the area, this is the place to come! There is an extensive drink menu and tons of space inside the cafe. The interior is modern, stylish, and cute all around. Their standard boba is "golden boba", which is maybe a tad sweeter but comparable to regular boba. We ordered the signature taro milk tea and winter melon milk tea. Normally we'll order 50% sweetness but for this place we'll reduce even more for next time since they run sweet here. Drinks are pretty sizable too. We didn't get to try any of the specials but they looked quite filling so will have to save them for a day when we have a big appetite! read more
