    Assortment of games available at tables
    Eric H.

    Let's see: it's a boba tea place in a gas station plaza. Literally only 2-3 parking spots per business in the plaza. Inside is clean and nicely decorated. They have a few board games sitting around on tables. They appear to have a variety of flavors. Friendly staff. They have some type of rewards program. Ended up with a drink about 1/2 full of ice, so a bit miffed about that. I had gotten their strawberry matcha latte with 0% sugar. They mentioned their matcha flavor would then be a but more prominent (fine by me). The strawberry portion tasted like what you'd expect when you reduce strawberries, and then mix it with milk to make a strawberry milk, so that worked for me. Other than that, there was some dude loitering around in the parking lot who held his hand out at me, right arm stretched straight out, palm up, directly in front of my vehicle, seemingly panhandling. He mumbled something about a boot. I said "no" and walked into the shop to grab the beverage. After consuming the beverage, the dude was gone, so seems like this was just a transient scenario. Would I come back again? Only as a matter of convenience if I happen to be in the area. I wouldn't go out of my way to grab something from here.

    Brown sugar milk tea

    This place is so cute and cozy, studying here just makes sense. Parking is a bit small though because they're by a gas station. Every time I come it's always the same worker and I don't know if it's her or the recipe they use, but their brown sugar milk tea is always PERFECT. I go for 100% sugar and less ice just so I have more milk tea. It truly is my favorite boba spot in Austin, and I feel like their prices are very reasonable and not yet upcharged compared to other spots here in Austin. They don't have food though, just really delicious drinks.

    Been going to this place for a few years now, and I love seeing how much it improved. The boba never disappoints and it's always so delicious.

    Love it! I got the honey milk tea and saw that they have brown sugar pearls, so I added those too. I like sweeter drinks so I was worried if their 75% sweetness might not be enough but it was just right! My boyfriend got oolong milk tea with 25% sweetness. This was also good-you can really taste the tea. Love the pearls! They also have games like bingo and jenga inside.

    Really nice space and delicious drinks. I tried the fruit slushies and it was really good. Sweet and fresh.

    We love boba, so of course being in a new city meant we had to find boba. Our friend brought us to this shop, which was located at a gas station. The shop was pretty cute inside and the menu boasted so many options for tea and toppings. I'm in my matcha phase and was so surprised & delighted to see coffee jelly as a topping, so it was a no brainer! I got the matcha latte with coffee jelly, 50% sweet and light ice, while boyfriend stuck with his classic order - Milk Tea with boba and egg pudding. It was quite enjoyable and now obsessed with coffee jelly.

    My friends and I love coming here to hang out and play games, although I wish they had more options and some of the pieces are missing. I really enjoy the flavor options here! Especially the fruit tea options like lychee. The boba is okay here so I often opt for coconut jelly. I hope they add more topping options!

    Thai Green Milk Tea

    Was surprised to find a boba tea shop in Austin, so we made a stop for a drink. It's located an in unusual spot by a gas station, but once you walk inside, it is spacious and has a very inviting decor. We shared a Thai Green Milk Tea ($6), which is a pretty unique flavor to order that I've encountered. Sugar level is by increments of 25%, which we got 25%. Pretty good overall. Would recommend this spot for your boba fix.

    Good and tests fresh. I ordered Milk tea with boba and Oolong milk tea with boba, both were delicious. The tropica boba is excellent . You can also choose your level of sugar 75% is normal if 100% is very sweet. Great service ...!!! Comfortable feeling being inside the shop...

    Green Milk Tea

    On the outside, this boba shop does not look like anything substantial. But MAN. The boba here is SO good. My friends and I decided to come here on a whim one day and did not expect much, but we were so impressed by the quality of the drinks and boba here. Their milk tea is refreshing and creamy. I typically go for the Green Milk Tea. I've tried their fruit teas as well and really enjoyed those too. Their Kumquat Green Tea is super refreshing, and I recommend it if you want something lighter than milk tea. It's kind of got an orange-y or citrus taste to it and pairs well with the aloe vera or lychee jelly. Overall, you can't go wrong with the fruit or milk teas here !

    Classic tea with crema
    Anastasia U.

    Driving back to Austin from Waco for an early AM flight, I wasn't starving and wanted something light. I had many questions for the girl who took my order, she was patient, kind and understanding. I only drink tea or water as my normal daily drinks ( no coffee, pop etc), I had never heard of tea with crema. Game changer! Whatever that crema is on the tea is phenomenal for your tastebuds, it's sweet, creamy and a bit salty. I need to email them and ask for a recipe! I also ordered a mango smoothie, I didn't love that flavor as much, but was drinkable and I finished it. They have numerous flavors from fruit to normal/regular tea with black/green tea. If I lived in Austin I would be a regular for sure at this place. Parking is easy, prices fair, staff actually seemed to enjoy their job. They do have seating areas and games like jenga, so you can chill and enjoy time with friends and your drinks.

    The boba was sweet and supple. The tea was fragrant and aromatic. The atmosphere, even better. The fact that there is such good boba in this area of town was a nice surprise to me. I had a great time here with my work friends, and it was a great place to study as well. Fast internet was a big plus here.

    Three people, three drinks -- all at 25% sweetness across the board…read more Jaded -- my second favorite of the night. The jellies added just enough sweetness to make the drink more enjoyable without overpowering it. Since we ordered everything at lower sweetness, that little boost made a noticeable difference. Once properly mixed, the salted crema elevated the drink even more. It added dimension and somehow lifted the entire flavor profile, making everything taste fuller and more cohesive. Pandan, Pandan, Pandan -- I liked the flavor, but I felt like the 25% sweetness dulled some of the pandan's impact. It ended up tasting almost like a gentler, blander matcha -- which, honestly, I didn't mind since I'm not always a fan of matcha bitterness. Let's Go Ski -- easily my favorite of the night. The sweetness was mellow and balanced, and the winter melon flavor really stood out in the best way. Winter melon can sometimes lean overly artificial, but this one tasted just right. Like the Jaded, the salted crema worked wonders here when mixed properly. The way it accentuated the drink genuinely elevated the entire flavor profile without overwhelming the mellow sweetness. The boba here was absolutely perfect texture-wise -- chewy with just the right bite. It wasn't as sweet as I expected boba to be, but honestly, that worked in its favor. Sometimes, less sweetness lets you focus more on the actual flavor of the drink instead of the toppings stealing the spotlight. My best friend actually went back for another drink before the night ended and chose the Taro-Zo Matcha at 25% sweetness. Taro-Zo Matcha -- we absolutely loved the subtlety of this drink. We both agreed it tasted even better once mixed properly, and whatever they use as the base for their ube crema is honestly addictive. It added this creamy richness that made the drink incredibly easy to keep sipping. To put it into perspective: between the three of us, the drink lasted all of two minutes before it completely disappeared.

No one introduced themselves or even told us who our server was, so we never knew anyone's name throughout the entire meal. Throughout our meal, no one checked on us even once, and we had to flag our waiter down multiple times whenever we needed something. Plates and drinks were also repeatedly slammed down on the table, which came across as rude and unprofessional. Every interaction felt rushed, and the staff acted like they were annoyed we were there. The customer service was awful, and it made for a really unpleasant first experience. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.

We kept it simple -- fish cone with nutella and ube soft serve. We had the option of swirling it with a milk tea ice cream but it had a little bit of caffeine so no good. Glad the choice was made for us -- the ube was perfect on its own. Also happy we skipped the toppings since the creaminess really came through. They sell mochi donuts too -- they were pretty good but not as good as the ice cream. Parking is limited but we had no issue snagging a spot at 430pm on a Sunday. Only a few narrow spots outside (no official lot). Full disclosure -- both my daughter and I had tummy aches after eating this ice cream and you know what? I have zero regrets! It was that good.
