    G12. Sesame Milk Tea
    Chris F.

    This is a tentative 5 stars off the back of both visiting the other location and thoroughly enjoying their Thai tea and feeling like it would be unfair to dock a star for ordering something slightly more out there in terms of the sesame milk tea. The sesame milk tea was still genuinely good, just not as good as the Thai tea I had previously. Will be giving this specific location another try once I'm back in Austin and updating my review. Service and atmosphere were both great, ordering was a breeze and I could definitely imagine myself spending an afternoon in there working or chilling with friends.

    Gen Bobabee honestly surprised me. I wasn't expecting it to be this good for Austin but it was actually so tasty. I got the avocado smoothie and it was super creamy and not too sweet. I even asked for normal 100% sweetness. The boba balls were amazing too, really fresh and chewy. Lowkey such a good spot if you're craving something sweet!!!

    Every time I come here, my experience gets better and better. I like every drink I've tried. So far, my favorite here is the Creamy Milk w/ Grass Jelly (Coffee Flavor). Soo yummy and fresh. Also, the service is great. They are always friendly and efficient. I love the cute decor and the cute little sitting area where you have to take off your shoes. They also have free wifi, so you can get some work done in this cute little coffee house. I love stopping by here after shopping at MT Supermarket! Call me a regular. ;)

    S7. Avocado Smoothie
    Jessica N.

    As you can see from my pictures, I am obsessed with the avocado smoothie. This is the only place in Austin where I get avocado smoothies and they're so creamy, smooth, and avocado-y. Service is always quick even when they're busy and I love how casual the cafe vibes are!

    The artichoke drink.  Cup is no longer see through so you can't see how beautiful this drink is....
    Leeza D.

    I've been to Gen years ago because I was attracted to the beautiful picture of the artichoke drink with the pandan leaf, agar boba, herbal jelly, and chia seed. My trip in 11/2024, the cups are no longer plastic so I can't admire the beauty that is the composition of this drink and it does take away that experience for me. It's located in the Chinatown area of Austin and there are so many food and drink selections in this center. This shop is always consistently busy and I love the selection, albeit, I've always ordered the artichoke drink. Parking is plentiful so no stress there.

    No customer service at all. No acknowledgment of my presence. Asked for light ice and the whole cup was full of ice. Second time here and experience was the same the first time.

    Cute decor

    I saw that this was a recommended boba shop for getting work done, so I came here to study with a friend. I got the Japanese mango kumquat green tea, which was so tasty and a perfect level of sweetness. It costs $0.95 to add honey boba to an already pricey drink, but the drinks are large and you can tell they are of high quality. The staff were kind and helpful as I chose from their vast drink menu. There is wifi, outlets, and really beautiful decorations. I adore the origami paper crane tree. There is a really cute shoes-off lounge area with sunflower decor. It was at times very quiet and also sometimes very noisy when we came on a Sunday afternoon, but I enjoyed studying here. There is plenty of parking in the Chinatown plaza.

    Got a matcha latte with boba and it was amazing!!! I love that they have nondairy milk options and I love that you can adjust the sweetness to your liking!! The portion sizes are so good too esp for the price!!

    F7. Japanese Mango Kumquat Green Tea
    Michael B.

    I usually like to visit a place more than once before leaving a review...but this place blew me away on first visit and cannot see myself leaving anything less than 5 stars! interior design - very welcoming, warm, and with a little sunflower section for lounging I guess? Can't speak to its usefulness but hey, it's a vibe! service - fantastic! The workers were more than happy to answer my questions and help me customize my drink. But on to what really counts - the drinks! There were so many interesting flavors, but I ended up picking the Japanese Mango Kumquat Green Tea with honey boba. The barista told me that it was a great balance of sweet and tang, and she was not wrong! Great refreshing taste with just the right amount of sweetness. And the boba was chewy and deliciously honey flavored. Partner got the Vietnamese Coffee, which was also right on the money. Strong bold coffee flavor, sweetened just right to balance the bitterness. A+. no notes.

    F6. Raspberry & Strawberry Fruity Tea
    Trinity-Analise T.

    The tea I got is sooo good, but I was even more impressed by how cozy the store itself was~! There's a self-serve kiosk but you can also just order at the till. There's tons of cozy seating, including a small space with small tables where you're meant to sit on the ground. I'd love to bring some friends the next time I visit~!

    G4. Austin Signature (dark) and M7. Thai Milk Tea (dark)
    Amanda L.

    Got the austin signature and the thai tea, both had really good flavor and boba quality. However it is a bit pricey. I would say the austin signature is good but nothing special; would not order again. Service is very easy, can order in person or there is a convenient ipad which I like. Seems like a place a lot of vietnamese locals come to which made me happy. They play some BANGERS here. But the music do be kinda loud just fyi. Nice ish place to study.

    I just love it this place!!
    Angelica C.

    I really recommend this place I love my drinks! I love the service! I hope everyone enjoy like me!

    we tried the G1 Hong Kong milk tea, 50% sweet light ice and G5 Ohara Oolong milk tea with honey boba 75% sweet light ice. We loved everything -- the strong tea flavor, the milkiness, and the sweetness. Everything was just right. The varieties of teas are on the counter for you to sniff. Everything is made with fresh loose leaf tea. Cute Japanese seating. Ten out of five stars.

    Haraz Coffee House is outstanding! From the time you walk in and smell their aromatic Yemeni coffee…read moreyou'll be hooked. They do an impressive assortment of drinks from Turkish, Saudi with Coffee, saffron, cardamom, Lattes, Pour Overs, French Press, Cold brew iced coffee and many other drinks! And did I mention their handmade desserts? Lots of choices. I decided on a Pistachio Latte and a slice of Pistachio cheesecake to compliment it. It was stupendous. The latte was perfectly delicious- creamy nutty not too sweet and just the perfect temperature. The cheese cake was decadent, sweet, creamy and just a perfect blend. So good! The Baristas were fun to watch create drinks, very precise, professional and caring about doing their best job. After we ordered we took a table and to our surprise, they delivered the drinks and desserts to our table. Very nice service and a charming and positive staff. I definitely recommend them and can't wait to go back for more!

    I've slowly become a "make my own espresso at home person", so I don't go out of my way for coffee…read moreas much as I did a few months ago. In addition, I do not have a Haraz Coffee House near me, so when I am near one of their locations, I make it a point to pop in. I love Haraz. I love the ambience. I love the coffee. I love the pastry selection. I love the service. The consistency I've experienced from location to location is top-notch. The cleanliness here is impeccable, too. That bears mentioning. My go-to is the Haraz Latte. Iced. While this could never be my every day coffee, it is something I really enjoy and treat myself to when I'm able to go to a Haraz. As someone who doesn't proclaim to like cheesecake, their Biscoff cheesecake is the exception. Maybe it's a blessing that one isn't close by and I can only indulge every now and then. If you want a break from your regular coffee, give Haraz a shot. Especially when the summer heat kicks in - the iced coffee + cardamom is pretty great. Also, they seem to have a high standard for hiring. The staff is always great. Please tip generously ;)

    Ice day was saved bc Barrett's was open, cozy, and has great coffee, I mean really glad I braved…read morethe weather it was so cute-local art for sale-a whole healthy walk of colorful, stylized pieces for 15 each-with the artists QR code just take it as you pay for it, a dog of the month walk, cuuuuute!, tons of huge bags of fair trade beans in this ginormous back room Barrett? Looked like he was casually gaurding, great barista with widespread underground hipster knowledge of indie body mods and independent mover and shaker stylists, and most importantly, a great atmosphere of friendly patrons all enjoying a break from being stir crazy together, it was pretty

    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!
