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.

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!

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...

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.

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.

Green Milk Tea
Michelle Y.

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 !

Brian C.

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.

Boba place
Christine L.

Boba fever and found this place right before closing! Thai milk Tia with boba is my fav and this place doesn't disappoint because the boba is dark and chewy!! Also you can adjust the sugar content and even get milk alternatives. I was happy!! It's hard to find by a donut shop and a gas station google maps gave us crazy directions but it was easy to get to!!

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.

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.

I have been here for both lunch and dinner and it is pretty busy during both times, so clearly it is popular. I tried the Pho Please pho and the mi kho dry egg noodles. The pho was fine but nothing really stood out. It tasted good enough but did not have that depth or richness that makes you crave pho again. The mi kho dry egg noodles were also pretty mid and honestly lacked flavor. It felt like something was missing and I kept wanting to add more to make it pop. I also got the brown sugar milk tea, which I actually really liked. It was very sweet, which worked for me, but some of my friends thought it was way too sweet for their taste. Definitely something to keep in mind if you prefer lighter drinks. You order at the counter and the food comes out pretty fast, which is nice when it is busy.

I was craving Ube and might have gone a bit overboard on ordering dessert because they had so many Ube options. The building is colorful and decorated in bright pink with fun artwork and decor for an uplifting vibe. The line moved quickly and the service was friendly fast and efficient. I was able to place my order and pay with Apple Pay. I ordered the Taiyaki Sundae with black sesame and ube swirl soft serve served in a fish shaped mochi Belgian style waffle with Oreo dust on top. You can customize your sundae with filling like organic red sweet beans, Nutella or custard and toppings like Oreo dust, fruity pebbles or rainbow sprinkles. I ate this on site and the nutty black sesame balanced the sweet ube perfectly, and the Oreo topping added the best crunch. They had a variety of mochi donut flavors. Lucky for me, nothing was sold out today. I ordered the Oreo ube mochi donut and ube milk tea to-go. I ate the mochi donut later that day and it was probably my least favorite item from my order. It had the chewy mochi texture however I didn't get enough of the rich ube flavor. It had somewhat of a bitter aftertaste and the Oreo overpowered the ube. I drank the ube milk tea the next day and it was creamy, smooth, and not overly sweet. I really enjoyed the flavor profile of the beverage and would order it again. Overall, enjoyed my selections and will be back to try more dessert options and flavors from one of the most unique Asian dessert spots in Austin!

Starter off with the pancakes and chili vegan. Both so very tasty and fresh n hot! The chili sauce packed a punch but not overwhelming. You would not even know they were vegan at all. Let's talk about this beautiful egg! No idea how it's made but it has the most unique flavor. Normally I can pick out an herb or flavor, nope not at all. Has the most distinctive taste and so very pretty too when it arrives! All of our mains were so delicious! I had the dumplings myself but did try a bit of everyone's meals and they were all perfectly flavored. If you are wanting to have everyone's Neal come at the same time, not here. You get your food pipping hot straight from the kitchen. Which was great. No heat lamps here. Service was great. We believe the owners came out and checked on us and of course we raved. It was packed for a rainy cold Saturday night but it was warm and kind inside. Parking is limited so be prepared to find street parking. Thanks Caroline for the recommendation!!!
