Vietnamese iced coffee tasted watered down and overall mediocre. However the service was decent.

So far this is my third times back to Austea My favorite is Crem Brulee Brown Sugar and Mango matcha Latte. I'm trying a lot of places for brown sugar Boba and I think they have the best Crem Brulee Brown Sugar Boba milk in Austin Definitely, you should try it once compared to another Boba shop it's totally leveled up!! Nice interior seating , tables are set up and open space towards the right waiting for your order. Friendly staff and fresh boba drinks. Simple and convenient location with plenty of parking spaces. All good, boba drinks five stars. Prices are competitive and fair. Overall, it's a nice boba tea bar and I highly recommend. read more

Austea - Mango strawberry matcha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

We decided to come here for the first time yesterday since it's like one of the only boba places in Austin we haven't tried yet, and I'm so glad we did! I was surprised that the menu was so extensive, so many smoothies, milk teas, fruit teas, and more! The creme brulee milk tea caught my eye immediately per my sweet tooth! So happy I ordered it, the creme brulee came in sort of an egg pudding form, quite sweet and enjoyable, and the tea flavor was soooo strong and perfect, and lastly the boba itself was nice and soft! I'd rate it a solid 9/10! The atmosphere was one of a classic boba shop, nothing crazy, but definitely friendly. The service was great, very quick and accommodating! Overall, I'll be adding Austea to my usual list of outings read more

Austea - Creme Brulee Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Such a cute little boba shop! They have a wide variety of drinks ranging from fruit teas, milk teas, yogurt drinks, smoothies, and more! On their menu they put hearts next to the drinks that are the most popular, which helped me make a choice of which drink to choose! We ordered the special matcha with 25% sweetness and it was the perfect amount of sweet and bitterness! We also got the galaxy kumquat, which was such an interesting drink! I got it with 50% sweet and lychee jelly, and next time i'll probably get less sweet but the sourness combination was excellent! The tables were clean and the atmosphere was very chill. It took around 15 minutes for our drinks and the servers were extremely nice. I will definitely swing by again to try their other flavors! read more

Newest boba shop in woefully neglected South Austin. I would say as of now, it is the best boba shop in South Austin! I got the Creme Brulee Milk Tea at 50% sweetness and boy, it was SWEET. It was good, but I couldn't finish it because of how sweet it was. I think 25% should satisfy most people. read more

I like their drinks a lot. However, I saw their Instagram and they said they have a 10% discount on students every Tuesday if you bring your student ID. Apparently, you have to be a student from Saint Edwards, what about other school? UT Austin? High school students? They didn't specify what schools you must be in to get the discounts. Very false advertisement. read more

The guys will recommend the drink that best suits your liking. They work fast, polite, and attentive to what you need. I got matcha creme Brule latte with light sugar because they asked what I usually like. It was great. read more

Tried out this place since I've seen the sign driving to work everyday. The employees were on their phones while customers were there and when asked about the differences between all the different kinds of matchas (regular, brûlée, special matcha) the employees didn't seem to know some of the differences in their own menu offerings. I ended up getting the special matcha which came out to almost $9. The matcha wasn't hand whisked and was in a pre-mixed jug. Unfortunately, the drink was really grainy and was still very sweet at 50% sugar level. Additionally, the drink was ~1 inch empty at the top and I ordered regular ice level. It doesn't really matter since I didn't end up finishing the drink anyways. I'm a little extra critical of bubble tea places because I used to work at one in Seattle, so my expectations are always very high. read more

Service was good and they were all very sweet and helpful. Atmosphere was very relaxing. I'd love to sit and get some work done here. It's hard to find decent boba in austin, but this place does a great job. I got the peach fruit tea with green tea + coconut jelly with 'less' sweetness and it's so delicious. Drink of the summer! My advice is to order less sweetness unless you have a huge sweet tooth. I'll be back for sure. Also love to support an Asian owned business! read more

Austea - Peach fruit tea with green tea + coconut jelly at 'less' sweetness. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I tried this place because it was highly rated on yelp and to be honest, it was just another boba place out of the hundreds of boba places in Austin. I was annoyed that they didn't making my order modification like I asked. I asked for light ice and I felt like I paid $6.50 for just a lot of ice. You can kind of see in the picture how high the ice level is in the cup. Usually my fiancé and I share one boba drink and I think we both got like three sips of it before it was gone. To their credit, I thought their shop was clean and the Strawberry Matcha Late did taste like it was made with high quality ingredients - nothing artificial tasting about it. I liked the strawberry addition; It really complemented the matcha. It was a nice place to hang out, very spacious, and you could have a good conversation without talking over loud music. read more

Great boba spot! I tend to not like sweet boba drinks but if you adjust the levels, the taste still hits home which a lot of places is a little difficult to match. I got a 50% sugar, with reg ice for my Jasmine Mik tea and it hit the spot. As well as the Taro with a 75%, reg ice. Bravo! Would definitely come back. read more

Pleasantly surprised!! I was taken here as a surprise, so I had no idea what this place was or what drinks they served!! Very nice when you walk in, they have a vibrant and lush instagrammable wall space you can take pictures of drinks in front of, and they have loads of seating! The menu wasn't too large, but that helped me narrow my choice down to my favorite go-to drink, The Crème Brûlée milk tea, with pearls! I've had this same drink at several other shops, and I love how this one was just a tad different, but just as tasty! The crème brûlée topping was almost like a pudding, super soft, and sat inside the drink rather than smeared on the sides of the cup or sitting on top. It made the tea have such a rich and velvety flavor, I absolutely loved it!! Service was quick and efficient, and they also serve food as well, with combo deals for 12-13$! Next time I come here I have my eyes set on their Thai tea slush, I cannot wait to come back to this amazing establishment!! read more

I'm very delighted to have found this boba shop! I've only recently moved into the Austin area and have been struggling for a while to find a good boba fix near me; fortunately for me, this place has just opened! It's a very cute and low key little store, totally my vibe, and they have a wonderful selection of boba to choose from. The employees were very nice and friendly and my drink was delicious! I'm more of a fruit tea fan, so I ordered the strawberry fruit tea with mango poppings and it was wonderful! The poppings were nice and firm and you get to choose how much ice and sugar you want so you get the perfect drink! I hope this place gets all the business it deserves, I see myself becoming a regular, loyal customer! read more

Had their mango yakult drink. It was the perfect refresher for a hot day. The establishment itself was a little dirty but that could have been because it seemed to have been pretty busy before we got there. Overall, service was good and my drink as well as my friend's drinks were all pretty good. Will definitely come again :) read more

I stumbled upon this along the road and this was as decent location for boba in Austin. They offer a wide range of drinks with multiple sugar levels. I ordered the Mango Marble and was quite happy with it. The interior decor is nice and clean with art that gives homage with Austin. The staff was reasonably nice. The prices were a bit higher than I would ideally like, but the quality was good enough to justify the price point. read more

Really didn't enjoy watching staff pick their face and use their cell while making drinks. Who knows how dirty their phone was. Extremely long wait, older orders made before us. Saw one of two drinks just sitting on the counter, then it disappeared without our number being called. When asking about it, while texting the server advised "they could remake it" even though we weren't called. Never go back. read more

This boba place is one of the best places in Austin. It's a shame it's so far from where I live, but whenever I'm in the area or I'm seriously craving boba, this place is the best. The owner is incredible and so accommodating. Whenever I'm nearby, I'd always get Austea. I really hope they expand their locations across the Austin area!! read more

Taro milk tea with boba was good here. Had a smooth milky consistency instead of watered down. Maybe it costs slightly more than the boba in Houston, but good when you need your boba fix. read more

Very pricey and horrible first experience. The menu doesn't display what comes with the drink properly. Some have boba in the picture, others don't. The cashier didn't ask if I wanted boba with my drink instead saying it already comes with it but my girlfriends "special matcha" has it pictured with boba and she didn't get any. $15+ for two drinks and one of them had no boba but the other does and they're around the same price? Furthermore. My girlfriend asked for her matcha drink to be cold, no ice. The picture attached is what we got. We were told there'd be some drink missing from the top, not half?? Ridiculous. Spend your money elsewhere, teacup house or teapioca launch will get you more for your buck. We went to Starbucks right after this read more

Austea - The "Special matcha" with no ice - Bubble Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ordered a special matcha milk tea with no ice for almost $7 and when I ordered the lady taking my order said since you're ordering with no ice the drink isn't going to be all the way full and she showed me with her fingers about an inch, I was ok with that and understood. When my drink was ready it was literally HALF full with no boba... I assumed boba would at least be in my drink as it was in the photo on the menu. She never once asked me about boba only about adding topping. The whole experience was so underwhelming, if you want a good matcha boba Teacup is the place to go. Even Starbucks gives you a better deal! Also the drink was in a hard plastic cup and it seems that the drink is expensive to make up for the unnecessary cup it comes in.... It's giving greedy vibes. read more

Why I love this place: 1) sparkly clean cheerful interior; 2) professional staff who take the time to listen to you and make your boba tea exactly to your specifications; 3) flavor of tea and texture of boba deliciously addictive; & 4) lots of parking. We needed another boba tea shop like this in South Austin, so happy that Austea finally opened. Austea has a customizable level of sugar in the smoothies and non-fruit options (like Matcha). I can get a smoothie with 0% sugar which is actually hard to find. the drinks taste delicious and fresh. The variety of flavors is outstanding. Service is quick. Bravo! read more

Teas here are outstanding! Order the Crème Brûlée Tea. You will not be disappointed. I ordered this drink with 50% less sugar and the drink was bursting with flavor. What surprised me was the drink has crème brûlée in it. Super friendly staff super. Super clean bathroom super. This place rocks. Best boba drink I have ever tasted. I'm a real boba snob! read more

Super nice owners- good menu. The sizes are great- way bigger than other tea places. Got peach tea with poppers- yum

Really wanted to like this place as the shop was well decorated and South Austin is woefully lacking boba options. However I was very disappointed with my strawberry matcha latte unfortunately. The strawberry was not real and tasted like syrup. The grade of the matcha powder was also not high. Thought for the price of the drink that the ingredients would be much better read more

They finally opened this place up and I was so excited!! My friend loves their thai green milk tea and their thai tea is soo good! Has inside seating available so you can do work. Their prices are a little high though for 7 dollars a drink, make sure to get less ice/no ice to get your money's worth read more

Strawberry fruit tea is wonderful. Lots of space to study and delicious snacks like fries

i love this place!! i went here the first week they opened have constantly been visiting since! the workers are very kind, the lady even gave me a sample when i didn't know what something was. the boba is yummy and so is the chicken and fries! the inside is cute too:). the wait can be a little on the longer side tho, that's my only complaint. i'm so happy there's a good boba place down south now i highly recommend. read more

This place is so cute and absolutely delicious. The service was very prompt and kind. Easily one of the most yummy boba matcha teas I've ever had (which is many.) We were a little confused because some pictures have boba in them, but make sure you ask for it put in your drink deliberately. It was no big deal though, once we realized we had ordered wrong, the staff added boba to my girlfriend's drink for free. The people here are so nice, and the quality is very high. Totally worth every penny and we will return! read more

Fantastic drinks. Real fruit is used in the drinks, where other venues use powdered flavorings. It is outstanding and the staff were friendly and helpful. Grand Opening was busy. read more

Update: Gave it another chance based on the owners response! Unfortunately, nothing has changed :( definitely not a full drink. My husband got a mango slush, and there were no problems, never really has been, but anything liquid, is just never full. read more
