This Fengcha has got to be the best one I've ever been to. I ordered an Earl Grey Milk Tea with 50% sweetness and ohmyGOODNESS it is so delicious and creamy. My most recent experience at a Fengcha before this one was bad because my drink tasted like straight milk..... but this place is just chef's kiss. read more

I like Feng Cha. I usually get the Creme Brulee brown sugar milk tea or the taro milk tea or any of their fruit teas, but today I got the Mango Fantasy. It's a mango smoothie with mini sago, grapefruit chunks, and coconut cream. The drink was good and refreshing overall, but I don't really like the grapefruit chunks. I can't really taste the coconut cream either. Next time I would probably go for the mango breeze instead because that one is creamier and less bitter. read more

I like Feng Cha because it's so easy to customize your drink. You order from kiosks, which I actually really appreciate because you can take your time, adjust the sweetness, switch to non-dairy milk, all without feeling rushed. Service has always been quick when I've gone. The drinks themselves are good. I usually get the taro blended drink, and it's consistently well made. This time I tried an Ube drink on special and it was pretty good too. So no complaints on the actual bubble tea front. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is where it loses a little charm. It's not exactly a cozy place to hang out. The lighting is bright and a bit harsh, and the overall vibe is more cold and industrial than cute or inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Totally fine for grabbing a drink, just not somewhere I'd linger.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Feng Cha does bubble tea well, but it doesn't really stand out from other spots. read more

4.5 My family and I went to Feng Cha Austin when in the area. It's a nice place to get a coffee or boba tea. We parked , walked in and noticed an ordering station but there were only two people in front of us so we went to the counter to order. The woman that took our order was friendly and patient. We paid and then waited. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This coffee/tea shop is minimally decorated. It's nice and clean with a few places to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm not sure if it's usually hot in there but during our visit the shop was abnormally hot inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They did have a large fan running so I assumed that the air conditioner was not working but I don't know for sure.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After waiting around a man working behind the counter asked if we needed anything. We told him that we ordered and paid. He checked and found our receipt. He then told us that he would start our order and get it to us as soon as he could. It didn't take long. I ordered the Black Tea with Ice and 50% sugar. It was really good. I could definitely taste the sweetness from the sugar and the black tea. I think in the future I will get a less sugar. I couldn't finish my drink but my husband and boys drank theirs up. We all agreed that it was good. Overall Feng Cha Austin is a nice place to visit with a variety of coffees and boba teas. The flavor of the tea is good and you get a fairly big cup. The workers were friendly and the service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only complaint is that the space was hot. Hopefully that issue gets fixed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I did do light ice so I went to the worker and asked for them to remake it nicely and the lady gave me a very rude look and said "I can add black tea."

Worst taro I have ever had due to rotten milk Typically I get Thai tea here and it is great but tried the taro and it was the worst taro I have ever had. It tastes like rotten milk and lavender Update: I did go back and they made me a new drink. It tasted normal but due to drinking the rotten milk, my stomach was upset and I couldn't even drink the new one. Customer service was apologetic. But due to getting sick, I don't think I will go back to this location. read more

This place was not great. We did not enjoy the experience, for the food. This is not the fault of the sole person working there on a busy Sunday afternoon. He was doing his best under the circumstances, but I don't think that even full staffing would have made it a worthy experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sometimes strip mall places can surprise you with the ambiance, but not this place. Imagine a strip mall boba joint, take away some of the charm, and you've got Feng Cha.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered at the kiosk when we went in. It was a pretty easy and straightforward process. The menu is laid out well and it's easy to navigate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We placed our order and that's when we realized that all the seating was barstool height. There were a few two-person booths near the back, which were all occupied.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I helped my companion onto a barstool and waited. There were about 8 people standing in the lobby waiting when suddenly a customer stood up on a chair to inform everyone that there is only one employee to fulfill all our orders. Some folks left. Our food was ready a few minutes later. My iced tea had no ice and was still warm. The cakes had no flavor and my companion did not even finish theirs. The taro drink was good though. read more

Feng Cha is a wonderful boba chain serving a variety of items all done well. I've had Feng Cha in Dallas and appreciated the drink while thinking the boba was just okay. Washington just opened the first Feng Cha as well. Overall, I think Feng Cha excels at the drinks themselves and their boba is chewy, but not sweet or flavorful. Sugar and ice levels are adjustable as expected. Classic Green Milk Tea w/ Boba - a classic creamer heavy milk tea, but the green tea was still very present. It was light but the floral flavor surrounded the primary, creamy taste. Super refreshing, especially with the heat. Boba was mid because the flavor was lacking, but the texture is pretty standard. read more

This place is ok. You order via kiosk right in front of the desk, but there's only one. So I don't know how this works if it gets really busy. Still, it's a straight forward process though I was having a weird issue with the tap to pay and had to physically pull out my card. Anyways, the reason for the mid-rating was the drink I got. Usually when I go to a boba shop, even if I pick something random, I've generally always enjoy the drink. I can't say the same for this place. I got the Citrus Lord because I love citrus drinks and Texas is 100+ degrees but that drink was AWFUL. You know that feeling you get when you drink OJ after brushing your teeth. That's what it tasted like. read more

Feng Cha is consistently good with their drinks, the menu has a wide variety of teas, fruit flavors, and toppings, and you can customize your sugar and ice levels as expected (for most drinks). The best drinks I've tried are the mango au lait and the milk teas or tea with salty cheese foam. The cups the drinks come in are sturdier than other boba shops, so it's a nice bonus. The boba is simple - soft and chewy, but nothing special. Service is usually quick, but they are often busy. It's a nice spot to drop in and hang with friends or just to grab a drink and go! Overall, Feng Cha is one of my regular boba shops I visit in my rotation when I'm feeling in the mood for their particular drinks. They're not my favorite, but I like them enough for a revisit here and there. read more

Classic boba spot that won't disappoint after eating a heavy, savory meal. A lot of boba places in Austin close early, but Feng Cha is one of the few that you can count on to be open. Their prices are decent too -- at least relative to other expensive cities... I've only tried their fruit teas, but they are solid. Very refreshing and a good size. I will probably be coming here on a consistent basis. One day I'll try their milk tea options! read more

I haven't written a review in a while, but this place was more then deserving. I ordered 3 drinks, iced matcha, iced coffee (something), and iced milk tea. They were all AMAZING, but the matcha & coffee were my favorites out of the 3. I just quickly picked up my order but the inside of the store was clean and had quite a few tables for hanging out. The only con- the drink trays they give you are flimsy as heck and have no support. Luckily the drinks lids are on so tight there is no way you can spill it!!!! 5/5 will totally be back here. read more

Feng Cha has always been one of my go-to boba places in Austin whenever I'm in the mood for fruit teas. I am a big fan of their Kiwi Basil Green Tea and Strawberry Overload. The basil seeds in the Kiwi Basil Green Tea add a nice texture to the drink and make for a good alternative to adding boba. I like how I can also taste actual kiwi and strawberry bits in the drinks. The reason why I am giving 4 stars though is due to their inconsistency. The past 2-3 times I have gone, the sugar levels have been inconsistent. While I ask for 50%, the tea is noticeably more bitter than when I ordered from Feng Cha in the past. Hopefully this inconsistency can be resolved as I do enjoy their teas. read more

I think I've found my new Thai tea spot. Bless! Their tea is bold and flavorful. I ordered at 50% sweet and regretted it immediately as I feel like it did a disservice to all of the spices and flavors. (I added simple syrup when I got home which corrected my mistake!). It's a lot of tea for what you pay for! I'll be sipping on it all afternoon. The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance was calm, warm, and inviting.

After trying the boba here I knew I'd be back for more. Not only is it close to my apartment, but it's also just better, in my opinion, than some of the other boba nearby. They have a variety of drinks (milk tea, tea, slush, etc), sweetness and ice options, and flavors. The tapioca is also prepared well. I went during covid so can't comment on the experience, but it looked very cute! I got the dirty boba 50% sweet with less ice. Next time I may get 25%, it was still a little sweet for me. My bf got the overflowing grapefruit which he really enjoyed. I will definitely be back to try more. read more

The worst part was that halfway through I started feeling nauseous and sick to my stomach from the boba. But nausea aside, their black milk tea is very unimpressive. read more

We would have never found this shop unless someone told us. This coffee shop is an absolute hidden…read moregem in Austin. It is off of shoal creek in a strip mall in the back not visible from the Main Street. The shop is co-located with a yoga practice and this atomically generated the social vibe that is hard to find. They are serious about coffee here. They roast their own coffee beans here. There are several world-famous baristas (ask them about the world competitions they are part of) serving up the brew who are super knowledgeable about coffee and coffee late art. I highly recommend everyone come by and get the the taste of what the one of the best coffee shops in Austin! PS come on Sunday mornings for weekly Porsche car show in the parking lot!

What a great gem in North Austin! My friend found Flora on Yelp. We weren't familiar with this…read morecoffee shop prior to visiting. I was a little confused when I drove up because I didn't realize that it's inside the Retreat Yoga Studio. There is a neon sign on the window as well as an A-Frame Sign near the entrance to let you know you're in the right place. Parking is plentiful in the shopping center. Because it's in a Yoga Studio, there isn't much seating (though they did have tables set up outside). The vibe was relaxing and calm. I don't know what scent they had in there, but it smelled nice. This wouldn't be a place to study or work as the seating is limited and I didn't see many outlets. There was a small area with bar stools if you need a tabletop, but most of the seating was couches and lounge chairs. It's more of a place to relax or catch up with a friend. I love when coffee shops have signature drinks. I ordered the Cajeta Crème Brûlée Cappuccino. It was so good, but it came in a small cup. The smoky sea salt was delicious! I don't typically care for sea salt in beverages, but it complimented the flavors so well! I asked the barista to sub oat milk which they were able to do but he informed me that some of the ingredients had dairy (which was fine). I appreciated the disclosure. I was able to drink it without any issues. Because my drink was so small, I decided to order a second one. I went with the Ginger Snap Latte (with oat milk) and it was tasty! I didn't like it as much as the Cajeta Crème Brûlée, but it was really good. I was happy that it was served in a larger cup. The space had plants as well as merch like clothing, scented candles, soaps, and jewelry (which was beautiful). The bathrooms were very clean and had feminine hygiene products as well as a basket with bobby pins and hair ties. I love the attention to detail! We were there close to closing time (3 pm). I appreciated that one of the employees let us know that they would be closing without forcing us to get up and leave. It was on par with the gentle and calming vibe of the space.

I personally LOVE both of these vendors and if you haven't checked them out: run, don't walk!!!!

Not exaggerating when I say this is my favorite matcha spot in Austin! Caphein is a close second,…read morebut Dam takes the top spot for me. Compared to Caphein, Dam has a more relaxed vibe with additional seating, which makes it a great place to hang out or get some work done. I noticed it's also a popular study spot for students, so a few extra outlets would be a nice touch. That aside, every matcha I've ordered here has been amazing in both flavor and consistency. The matcha taste actually comes through, and the drinks never feel too watered down or overly sweet. Overall, Dam is easily staying at the top of my Austin matcha list and is a spot I'd keep coming back to.

There were a few people sprinkled throughout the coffee shop. Pretty laid-back environment...

Overall, the coffee here is tasty and the ambience is lovely…read more The only reason I took a star off for my review was because I've come in to purchase drinks from their specials menu, and felt that the flavors were a bit underwhelming at times. But not so terrible that I would never come back. The staff is really nice and attentive, and they have delicious pastries near the front of the bar as well. There is plenty of seating and charging outlets so you can continue to use your computer, or tablet as needed. It's also in a really cool location with pretty art outside. My recommendation to the staff would be to amplify the syrup flavoring just a tiny bit more on their special drinks. Other than that things are great!

The menu here is exciting, vibrant and you truly can't go wrong with anything you choose. My friend has joined me on multiple occasions and I can say we have tried quite a lot from here and have never been let down. Bonus points for the seasonal or weekly selects they have - some super yummy creations. While it can get super busy on the weekends and the ambiance can be a lil overstimulating ~ I'm happy to come during the week days when it's a slower and I can pull up a chair at the bar for easy, laid back dining! They also have a designated window for to go order, quick orders or call in orders. This has become my go to! Every staff member is always efficient, kind and professional. I think the service from the staff sticks out the most and the food right after - and on a consistent basis that's just hard to find these days.

She was so friendly, helpful, and just had such a nice charm about her! I really love some of the Austin diner spots that have such fun menus (i.e. Phoebe's). The problem with Day Maker is the menu has such interesting choices that I generally wanted almost everything. Went with the Chorizo Benny and I will be back for that for sure! One of my fave breakfast items I've had in Austin (and ive had some good ones!) We also had the enchilada and Churro pancakes. I can't wait to come back and I'd bring friends/fam here for sure that visit.

Our group was split into 2 tables, which is okay, but 1 table was served way before the other table, so some of our group was done eating by the time others got their food. That was the main challenge we had. Would have been great to serve everyone's food closer time-wise. Overall, good experience and I'd come back if staying at the hotel again.

Love that they're set up in a retro airstream -- such a fun vibe. Donuts are made fresh and topped to order, and it is 100% worth the wait. They've got large and mini sizes, so we went with a few different minis so we could try multiple flavors without overdoing it (or maybe we still overdid it, no regrets ). The menu has something for everyone, even more "basic" options for those who don't want all the toppings -- which honestly feels a little sacrilegious here haha. They also have great coffee, plenty of seating, and shaded tables so you can dig in right away and actually enjoy the moment. I honestly cannot pick a favorite menu item because I loved them all!! Already counting down until I'm back in Austin so I can return.

There wasn't a line (it was a pretty hot day) so we managed to order quickly. We opted to split the Black Betty. It was huge!! I loved the blackberry sauce and fruit mixed in with the cream and sugar. This is one big dessert so I'm glad we shared it - honestly would be worth splitting a whole one amongst a few people unless you have a big sweet tooth! The staff were really quick with the order. There's ample seating by the truck which is probably nice for part of the year, but we were suffering on a hot summer day. I would highly recommend this spot - but keep in mind the weather as it's all outdoor and outdoor seating only.

First time bring here and the waiter recommended these items. I feel like I ordered the wrong items, or maybe a Texas Hash is not my type of breakfast food. I didn't expect it to taste like curry and I don't want to eat curry spices for brunch. 4/5 The fried chicken with biscuit is okay, the chicken was great, well done great seasoning. The egg was cook to perfection, the biscuit was dry though, and the gravy was a bit weird. It was more like a dressing than gravy. 3/5 Texas hash was sweet potatoes and pulled pork in what I can guess is like a curry sauce with lime, cilantros. I wouldn't order this again, we ate like 1/2 of it and didn't even togo home. I was expecting more like... breakfast sweet potatoes with a side of pulled pork, didn't expect that it was all mixed in and mashed together. 5/5 free rice Krispies, this was amazing. Probably the best home made rice Krispies I had in my life. Overall I need to comeback to try something else. Also the water here was good, didn't taste like Austin city water.

Sammie's has been hyped up on social media for a long time and I gotta say it's still underrated! I will gladly have Sammie's take the Pepsi challenge against red sauce joints in NYC/NJ etc. In fact, I've told friends and family that I am going to take them to Sammie's when they visit from there. We just had such a fantastic experience - everything..the vibe..the red light fixtures and the color of the booths and the floor..the service - our server was great..loved their outfits..really had an old school little italy feel to it. The food was much better than I even anticipated - as a guy who grew up on NJ diner mozzarella sticks, I have a high bar for them and these were magnificent. And seriously...taking the "everything's bigger in Texas" slogan and applying them to mozzarella sticks?! top 10 achievements of the decade. The chicken parm was perfect - well seasoned, proper amount of crisp..the basil on top...the perfect browning of the cheese. Also the lasanga was excellent..and best part - the leftovers..took it home and the next two days put them in a small cast iron and re-heated them..and the magic was right there in my hill country kitchen! Lastly and certainly not least - the cannoli...just look at the photo below.. I'll say, yes, the place is pricey but you can really easily split these entrees and then it becomes cheaper than a jersey strip center Italian joint.
