Right off campus - very convenient if you want something to drink or a quiet place to hang out. The shop is on the smaller side, but has lots of natural lighting. There isn't any music to fill awkward silence, but still nice. - Pineapple & Passion Fruit Tea - Strawberry & Lychee Green Tea - Passion Fruit Tea & Lime Green Tea There are snacks available, but didn't get to try. It was a self service kiosk. Service was quick. read more

This is my go to place on campus because it's so close and the drinks are pretty solid. I used to always get the pineapple yogurt slush but recently they've been coming out super icy and crunchy like they haven't been blended long enough. Now I just get the tea with pineapple and lychee which is really good but it's just sooooo sweet. I even get 50% sweetness and it's still just way too sweet so sometimes I water it down. read more

Eh it's ok. Ambiance looks cool but it's just full of UT students it really takes away from what little ambiance it would have Parking super sucks so be aware on that aspect if driving to this location Now onto the Boba - the brown sugar bubble milk tea was eh. I got it with milk foam and 0 sugar. The boba texture was not appealing and the foam didn't have much to it. read more

Pros: - It's a small place with a pleasant ambiance - I ordered Peach Milk Tea with Taro, which had a unique light fruit flavor Cons: - On the expensive side for an average sized tea - I was not fond of the gritty taro texture - I got food poisoning afterwards, and it was a really uncomfortable experience. read more

I was really not a fan of this boba shop near UT. The boba we got (Taro Jasmine Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Milk Tea) were very watered down, making the taste quite bad. The Pineapple and Passionfruit green tea was much better and the chocolate bubble waffle was okay. The college student at the register did not acknowledge us which was a bit rude. Drinks came relatively quickly and the seating was quiet and clean. Overall I would not return. read more

So delicious! This location has been open since November but had their grand opening this past weekend. It's by the UT campus so there are a lot of students around, it's best to find street parking because the parking garage behind the store is a scam!! See my review for that.. Anyway, half of the shop is fuzz lab where you can make your own rug. Prices are steep.... There are probably 12 seats for boba patrons, The baristas are fast. I ordered and had my drink within 3 minutes! They also allowed me to bring my pup in. Which was nice because I had no other choice. I got the brown sugar boba with Oreo and milk foam, yum. I usually don't order such a decadent drink but the foam was so delicious and addicting. The boba was perfect chewy and soft, I got half sweet and it was perfect! read more

Used to be a favorite spot but has been slowly falling off. The menu got reduced a bit over the years. Their fruit teas used to be really good, but they've been becoming more and more watered down lately. The boba quality has also started to become a bit more hit or miss. Interior is ok, but it's better now that it's back to the way it was before Fuzz Lab took up half the store. Service is pretty quick. read more

Dumb non helpful employees screaming fuck in the back Good boba tho however didn't appreciate the fact that you have to pay an extra fee to get boba at a boba shop.. oh well read more

A cute boba place located near UT campus. The boba place is very small though with limited seating and place to stand. It shares a place with fuzzball which is making your own rug design which can be a cute date idea. You mainly order on a tablet. The drinks are normal, nothing special. read more

Cute bubble tea place in North Austin! They have great flavors for bubble tea and also have macarons, so if you like sweet stuff, you should def. try this place. I got bubble milk black tea with handmade brown sugar. Since brown sugar was applied inside of the cup, I chose 0% for sweetness which was still sweet for me, but it was SO delicious! While I was sitting here, I saw a lot of to-go orders and delivery orders as well, but they made drinks so fast like professionals. The staff was all nice and friendly as well. read more

Tsaocaa is known for their pretty looking and delicious fruit drinks. Their milk foam or cheese foam is yummy but it tastes like buttercream or cake frosting, which is interesting. It's a nice add to the drink but not necessary. If you're craving traditional black milk tea, green milk tea, or oolong milk tea, this place won't hit the spot. Their milk tea tastes like it's watered down a lot. Pricing is on the high side. The shop is bright and cute with white sets of tables and chairs, great spot for hanging out. It tends to get crowded so not ideal for working or studying. read more

This new boba shop in West Campus has nice, homey vibes. It felt like a very Chinese place as the default language on the ordering screen is Chinese, which I think is odd, and I heard both the employees and customers speaking Mandarin around me. I had the peach milk tea, and it was good. I like how there's the option to substitute coconut milk at no extra charge. They had a lot of appealing fruit milk tea options. The boba is very expensive as I got a drink for $7, but the quality is good and tastes better to me than many of the other chain boba shops near campus. I found it strange that half the shop is taken up by a rug tufting business, but it looked like a fun activity. read more

It's a pretty nice boba place that is shared with a rug making/ acrylic pouring workshop. The drinks are little more on the expensive side, but it was pretty good. Everything is not very sweet though, I got 100% sugar and it was still not that sweet. The boba itself is not sweetened and they're a bit smaller than normal boba, but overall it was pretty good. read more

Tsaocaa - Austin - Strawberry Green Tea Slush / Lychee Jasmine Tea Slush / - Two bubble tea drinks with pink and beige swirls, black tapioca pearls at the bottom, and white lids are placed on a wooden table inside a cafe. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

This boba place is a cute aesthetic shop in UT west campus, and it's a super convenient place to drop by if you're feeling a sweet treat! I personally prefer their fruit teas over their milk teas, I get the peach strawberry tea with nata jelly- and it hits the spot every time! They have two tablets that you can place your orders on and the service is normally pretty quick! I would say that the vibes are not that good because most of the time there aren't too many people inside and there is no music playing so it feels kind of awkward. They also give you three options for sweetness (0, 50, or 100%) but I always get 0% since they are on the sweeter side. read more

Tsaocaa - Austin - peach strawberry tea, blueberry yogurt, mashed taro milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

We ordered three drinks. And I ordered the lychee milk tea at 0 percent sugar. Assumed they use lychee tea and added milk. But it's a syrup based drink with no fruit and it tasted like it was 200 percent sugar. I returned it because it was inedible. There's also not a choice for 10-35 percent sugar. Just 0, 50 or 100 percent--but they don't actually mean 0 percent. The strawberry bubbles in the other drink were disgusting too. Worse bubble tea in Austin. It's a fruit tea place that doesn't use fresh fruit. Instead they use a "syrup." They should not give a choice for 0 percent sugar when it's not really 0 percent sugar. It's really no better than using a powder. I returned the drink and got no refund or even an apology. The person who worked here was busy doing school work at her laptop and seemed annoyed that she had to get up to make our drinks. 0 stars for tea and 0 stars for service. read more

I've tried this place a twice due to being desperate for matcha. Don't be as desperate as I was, this place sucks. Everything is low quality and gross. Bread is extremely stale. Matcha is that low quality matcha taste. I asked for no boba and they still put boba and their boba is also disgusting. If you do delivery they don't care about your special requests (even if you buy them). Their waffles are also stale and not worth it. I can't believe I wasted my money on them again. Don't be like me. I'm pretty sure there's no good LATE-night matcha options, I've tried nearly all of them and been disappointed. read more

Over sweet even at 50% sugar (and no ability to have anything between 0 and 50), no music, one employee who didn't even look up when entering and only words was the monotone name of the drink. Will not be returning. read more

Liked the tea. Unlike certain other places the tea here is not all sugar and milk. The tea waz well made and well brewed. The milk tea as well as the fruit based teas were good. They don't have tonnes of choices but what is available is nice. read more

Cute chill area to study or hang w some friends. They have tons of boba options!! My order came out very fast as well.

Pretty good boba and super cute inside! They have a lot of drink options and lots of different desserts to choose from!

Genuinely love this place since it's by my job. Normally get a brown sugar milk tea--though, recently I do hate how awkward the environment is...I catch myself hesitating to go in sometimes just to avoid it. Other than that, this place has been pretty good ‍ read more

Honestly a couple things wrong. First waited forever to get my drink, I would say more than 20 minutes. Which is unreasonable for boba. Additionally, my drink was not up to standards, it tasted like soap wouldn't recommend. One good thing is that the service workers were nice with answering our questions. read more

The drinks were good, reminds me of mogee tee. I think the only thing that would maybe prevent me from coming back is how awkward the environment/customer service was. It wasn't very friendly or welcoming and the boba marinate tasted weird to me but overall it was okay! read more

Mediocre taste . They use a lot of syrup versus fresh fruit . Boba pearl quality was average . Indifferent staff. Gong cha is better .

You order on little screens and there is super fast service. There is also a little claw machine

The employees are really nice and helpful. I went with a friend and we really liked our drinks! And it's a cool temperature inside which makes it great to come to after a hot football game :) read more

Super fast , yummy and clean service :) the signature milk tea is my favorite and the vanilla macrons are a must !

Cute boba shop and lots of options! Fast service as well! It's in a good location in west campus and opens late!

really yummy boba and good service! i always come here! i recommend getting the mango grapefruit boom!

really cute place and quick service ! brown sugar boba was great !! 50% sugar has just the right amount of sweetness
