Recommended: - Double Purple Bubble Milk Tea: for the sweet tooth and fans of purple potato + fresh purple rice in their milk tea. Very much a dessert drink! I got 80% and would probably get 50% next time. The milk tea itself was very floral. - Grapefruit and Peach Jasmine Green Tea with Nata Jelly: recommend 80% or 100% if you like sweeter Avoid: - Uji Matcha: not mixed well. You can taste the powder. I got it at 70% but it's really bitter. I've had better matcha elsewhere and would pass. The milk foam is good though. Cute interior with lots of seating available. They also sell macarons but I haven't tried yet. I would stop by Tsaocaa if I'm in the area! read more

Delicious drinks with nice seating inside. The store is located in a large shopping center and the shop is kind of in a corner. Most people were taking their drinks to-go of course but atmosphere was nice and and so were the workers! Good place to get tea. I went with a traditional brown sugar bubble tea and it was delicious' read more

STEER CLEAR of this place. Terrible drinks and they had the worst service I've ever experienced and terrible drinks the barista cut me off and kept saying "is that all" before I finished my order, and didn't ask me about the ice level or sugar level or if I wanted milk foam on our second drink. She looked sooo over everyone. Idk what the other person meant by it's by on par with NYC and the Bay Area - definitely not. 75% sugar tasted like 10% sugar. We came on a Sunday and ordered two jasmine green tea milk foams and they tasted like water, literally. No tea flavor or ice or foam flavor it's like the workers were like we're done, we need to get paid more for this sh*t*. They "ran out of" egg puffs so we couldn't try but I don't think it would've been good. The owner needs to pay these baristas more so they may make better drinks. read more

Great addition to the Austin bubble tea scene! The menu is pretty extensive and they have so many fruit tea options. They also have the traditional milk tea drinks and tons of toppings to choose from. I got the grapefruit green tea and it's the best I've had in Austin. The drink is half tea, half slush and sooooo refreshing. The green tea balances with the grapefruit perfectly. The drink is a little on the sweet side and I would recommend reducing the sugar level (like 50%). My sister got taro milk tea and there were chunks of real taro in the drink which was delicious! I also tried the oolong milk tea with amber pearls. The tea was was a good strength and the bubbles were sweet and nice and chewy. The shop felt pretty minimalistic and modern with white walls and tables and colorful chairs. There were plenty of tables and this would be a good study spot after COVID blows over. I will definitely be back again to try more teas out! read more

I squeaked in during the last hour of their grand opening special and they had run out of milk, so my initial choice (milk tea) and second choice (yogurt slush) were a no-go. I ended up getting a peach oolong tea with coconut jelly instead, and I was blown away! The tea wasn't too sweet (I got 50% sweet) and was full of fresh peach flavor. The slices of fruit inside the drink not only looked pretty but added a pleasant bitterness that balanced the sweetness. I usually get tapioca, but the coconut jelly was a better match. And jelly pieces aren't as time/cold sensitive. Apparently Tsaocaa is known for their fruit teas, and it is well deserved! It's definitely a refreshing beverage. read more

So yummmm...the BEST milk tea in Austin!!!! When I tried Tsaocaa for the first time I was amazed: taste, aroma, consistency - everything just perfect. Moreover, milk cap is awesome too! read more

I am a complete passionfruit addict and it's amazingly difficult to find a place that doesn't just use passionfruit syrup. While Tsaocaa's passionfruit and lime green tea doesn't use fresh passionfruit, it does use a passionfruit jam which means there's the delightful pop of passionfruit seeds + you can add in their boba which is perfectly chewy and sweet. I also appreciated that this is one place where the tea isn't overly sweetened to start so when you request 30% sugar you actually end up with tea that is lightly sweetened. I also love the takeout lids with an actual cap. The drinks here tend to be a little pricier than other boba places, but the quality is also better than the typical standard chains. It's a very cute whimsical interior with a decent amount of seating. There's also ample parking. read more

New favorite boba place. I always order for pickup and it's always ready early. Drinks are consistent and good. Love all the fruit teas and the taro, but will need to try out the rest of the menu! read more

The taste and environment were excellent! I also tried a sip from my friend's Uji Matcha milk tea and it was the best milk tea in Austin so far! But remember to ask for 30% or zero sugar. Otherwise it would still be too sweet. They are just opening and get a lot of orders online and in store, so we waited for an hour to get our orders on a Friday afternoon (3:00pm). It would be better to order online and pickup later so the time won't be wasted... read more

A classic fruit tea spot in Austin. I love their icy grapefruit green tea--it's so delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day!! Would highly recommend. Haven't tried their milk teas but from what I've heard, fruit tea is the way to go at Tsaocaa. read more

Really wanted to like this place but it was very meh. We went on a Saturday night and it was empty but the floors, tables, and chairs were veryyyyyyy sticky. The drinks were not blended very well-you can see in my pic that all the contents are very separated. The employees working were arguing with each other at some point and texting while we were placing our order. read more

Some really unique drinks. A bit pricey for milk tea but worth it. The mashed taro was good. Their tea itself is good too. Their drinks are a bit on the non-sweet side so I would say get at least 50% sweet if not 70%. read more

This place is my go to in Austin. In a sea of bad boba places this is an oasis in Austin as most places are horrible. The tea is really fresh and one of the only places that has real taro and not crappy powder sugar drinks. Americans beware this isn't a sugar farm. So curb your expectations. read more

Pretty good bubble tea--I got a ruby black milk tea with coconut milk. I really appreciated how fresh the brewed tea tasted. It was just the right level of sweetness and the boba was a good level of firmness too. I'll be coming back. read more

Man I LOVE this place. I find myself craving their purple potato drink all the time. It sounds weird but I've really never had anything like it. Cold creamy milk mixed with sweet purple potato (kinda reminiscent of a red bean topping), it's very decadent and delicious! read more

I order Peach Oolong Tea with 70% sugar; but I am very sure this is not 70% sugar probably only 20% sugar level; and the Peach Oolong Tea I only taste Oolong NO Peach at all! Just like Ice Oolong tea and with only 20%sugar. I order this drink so many time before and this time is nothing like before..... Your employees needs more training read more

Tsaocaa - Austin - Horrible Peach Oolong tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I had very high hopes for this boba shop. I would definitely recommend the fruit tea menu items - they taste fresh, not artificial/syrupy. Even at 50% sweetness, the fruit teas were plenty sweet. The milk used in their milk teas are delicious too. However, I have tried their boba four times now and I just cannot get over the taste and texture. There is an aftertaste that I can't quite describe that is not pleasant to me. I have been continually disappointed by the boba, so if I go with friends, I usually just get a fruit tea without boba here. read more

Such good boba!!! loved it so much. I got the brown sugar boba with oat milk. I would definitely get it again!!!

Very cute shop. We didn't have time to stick around since we were passing by but the decor is very colorful. Had the brown sugar milk tea, grapefruit green tea, and dragonfruit with cheese foam. All delicious. Forgot to take pictures before we gulped it down. Would definitely return if in the area again. read more

Sñ I was worried bc either the reviews were great or awful on service and quality. My daughter and l went and the service was great, they were out of boba but accommodated with any other topping. The Macarons were amazing. We tried the brown sugar tea and it was so so good. Will be back. read more

So happy to see more boba places nearby. I heard about tsaocaa but word of mouth and was impressed by their service! The drinks took little time to prepare. They have kiosks for order which made perusing the menu easy. I got the lychee fruit tea with milk foam and nata jelly, 50% sweetness. Next time I would take out the foam just because I don't like super heavy drinks, but it was a 10/10! Very impressed by the quality cup - a nice bonus (not all drinks get it). read more

Hands down the best boba place in Austin. There are some other decent drink places in town but Tsaocaa manages to nail the tea, milk foam, and the ratio of everything in a way that other local places can't. The quality of drinks here is on par with the good places in NYC and the Bay. Our favorite drinks are the King of Oolong / Jasmine Green Tea with the cheese foam. The tea flavor is strong and fragrant without being bitter, and the cheese foam is creamy. They put in the right amount of foam to make the tea creamy and smooth while still getting the tea flavor. We like to get the drinks with 50% sugar and low ice although the jasmine tea is fine with 75% sugar too. The Colorful Fruit Black Tea is a nice refreshing drink in the summer but nowhere close to YiFang's original fruit tea which is still my gold standard. I'd come here daily if I lived close enough! read more

The boba had a great flavor, the pearls were perfectly chewy, and the sweetness level was just right. The variety of flavors and the overall presentation made it a delightful experience! read more

Yes, finally another boba place in Austin. I love the variety of premium teas offered like their rose oolong and osmanthus oolong tea. I ordered the later as a milk tea and I can taste the tea flavor. You can def tell they brew their teas well. I always get my drinks at reduced sugar, sometimes 25%, sometimes 0%, but tea was not too bitter and had a hint of sweetness from their tapioca balls. I can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Officially my favorite boba spot in Austin. I got the Strawberry Milk Tea w/ a non-dairy milk, 70% sweetness level, and less ice. I liked the pure taste of strawberry and it didn't taste solely like powder or puree/syrup which a lot of boba shops tend to use. My buddy got the Mango Milk Tea and she really liked hers too. The macaroons were alright, she said, but I am not docking off a star since they are not "known" for that. Overall, we were both impressed that we loved our drinks and they were not even the most popular ones. Mind you, it is in the Northwest side (like borderline Cedar Park), so it was a little bit of a drive for us. Huge parking lot, which I like cuz I hate parking and the staff was decent. read more

Stopped by because I had won their Instagram giveaway for 2 free drinks, only to be told that it had expired. I was a little confused and tbh felt a bit conned because nowhere in their Instagram post or DM stated that there was a deadline or end date to redeem the giveaway. I thought I would give them a try anyways, and I ordered a fruit tea with nata jelly ($5.35), light ice and 50% sugar. It was waaaay too sweet and syrupy and despite having a big ol' citrus slice in the cup, it didn't taste very "natural". I don't want to imagine what 100% sugar would have tasted like. I still prefer ShareTea for their fruit teas and price point. They do have a lot of tables and chairs, which is a plus because a lot of boba places don't have a lot of seating. read more

I got the lychee slush with crystal pearls and my friend got the peach oolong tea with nata jelly. I recommend getting 50% sugar because it's really sweet if you don't adjust the sugar. I am vegan so I asked for no milk foam and the lady was super nice and filled my cup all the way to the top with the slushee. The store is also super cute and aesthetic! The only downside is that the drinks are on the pricier end ($5-6 per drink) which is pretty expensive for me, so I don't think I would come here that often cuz I'm still a broke college student :/ read more

TSAOCAA Austin was on my home and I'm glad I stopped to pick up a brown sugar milk tea and two macrons- salted caramel and cookies n cream. Great flavors. No pictures of the drink or macrons because I was too busy enjoying them. Very clean and trendy shop that's been around for about a year off 183 and Lake Creek. read more

Great new boba place that just opened in Austin! They've got so many different drink options, it took me forever to choose one! My friends and I each got something different and we were all really pleased with our orders. Not too sweet at all (I usually get 50% sugar) and the tea is really fresh. The interior is really clean and spacious and I can definitely see it being a popular hangout place with friends once COVID dies down! read more

Legitimate Bubble Tea Joint Wife and I dropped by during their soft opening while everything was buy one get one free. We tried their milk black tea with crystal, cloud milk tea, and matcha. All three were excellent Boba is Q and al dente Flavor is on point since all drinks are made with real tea, no powders or mixes. Taste is reminiscent of the places we went to while at Taiwan. Staff are friendly and welcoming Highly recommend! read more

Literal shit. Customer service was terrible and yeah I don't care if you're a high schooler but know some basic mannerisms. I mean really My drink tasted like seaweed and the other drinks I had tasted like water with bits of taro in it, barely would consider this soup a drink. Definitely come here if you want to be disappointed. I think the trash can deserves a better drink being thrown into it. read more

Was very underwhelmed. I got the Cloud-Mist Green Milk Tea and the flavor just wasn't there, tasted very diluted. My boba-loving friend got another milk tea, I forget what the flavor was, but she also was not a fan of hers, also said it was diluted. My other friend got this strawberry concoction and she said she really liked it so maybe their non-milk teas are a lot better. But the interior is really nice and fresh-looking so definitely a nice place to hang out. read more

Ordered brown sugar boba, very watered down and not the sweetness level like requested

To all boba lovers out there, this place is legit! It's such a great addition to the bubble tea scene in Austin. We ordered jasmine milk tea and milky matcha green tea. Both were fantastic and we especially loved the matcha one! Seems like they use ceremonial grade matcha because the drink tasted really really complex, smooth and lovely. The boba is literally PERFECT - consistency is chewy with a bite and very flavorful. This is comparable to the best boba shops i tried in Taiwan. The restaurant is bright, spotless and modern. The staff were all friendly and helpful. You have to check this place out! read more

It's soft opening now, yummy yummy! We ordered Brown sugar bubble milk, green tea & mango foam, pineapple yogurt and oolong tea !!! read more

Have been on a quest for "salty cheese" tea drinks here in Texas (yes, I am a California transplant). Happy to report that we not only found them, but they are even BETTER than the version we used to get at Happy Lemon in Pleasant Hill, California. If you think it sounds weird, it does sound weird (salty what!?) but they are amazeballs. A think, creamy, slightly-salty dense whipped topping on black tea (or other base drink). AND their macrons are fresh, slightly chewy, slightly crunchy and delicious. It's feeling more like home already! read more

We love this place, specially after gymnastics class right next door. We love the milk tea w/boba and the egg waffles. I wish they had options more natural caffeine-free options (we've tried the fruity options and are too artificial flavor). The place is cute, it can get a little noisy but overall a nice place to get some work done or stop for a quick treat. read more

Love the unique variety of menu. Ingredients and tea are fresh! The spacious place is a nice spot to hang out with friends! read more
