So many things wrong, where to begin: 1. Tea too sweet 2. Tapioca too soft, like falling apart almost 3. Straw too short, you can barely get to tapioca I suspect from the taste that either they aren't checking day dots or making tapioca in large batches that sit too long. It's was so bad that I wanted to get my money back but didn't want to wait in line with all the teens. FYI further down by pizza shop there is Asian restaurant that sells bubble tea/milk tea that looks worth a try. read more

The drinks are delicious... The customer experience is kind of weird because they're advertising for other businesses and they turn the screen with the menu itself into other advertisements. So if you need to see the menu in the format you looked at while you're in line you have to wait till the advertisements have stopped and the big screen changes back to show the menu. I ask that the owners just leave the menu on the big screen and not try to advertise on the same screen that your menu is displayed on. read more

I needed a break from my usual tapioca place for the day and decided to make a morning trip out to Teapioca Lounge with a friend. First of all, the feel here is supposed to be hip and happenin'. I think the bright green walls, the high couches, and the flat-screen tv definitely adds to this. It's certainly not a good place to study and I don't particularly like the ambience, but it's probably a good place to hang out and play board games. Second, their cream tea is pretty solid for the price and quantity, but nothing outstanding. They have about a thousand options of cream teas, slushes, and juices, as well as shaved ice, but I am always apt to judge a place by the quality of their milk tea. Though it's a little on the sweet side - I ordered it with half sugar, and it was still pretty sweet - the cream was not too overwhelming and the taste of the tea was present, but not as strong as I would prefer. They didn't have tapioca this morning, so I got it with baby tapioca and egg pudding - yum. My friend ordered the hot taro cream tea, and it was really creamy and delicious. Granted, it was made with taro powder and probably a lot of sugar, but it was still yummy, and the heat definitely balanced out the sweetness a bit. Teapioca Lounge is not wonderful, but it's definitely a place to get a lot of milk tea for a good price - I ended up paying $6.77 for a large cream tea with pudding and baby tap as well as a relatively large hot taro cream tea. read more

Oh, how I want to like this place. However, this particular Teapioca Lounge does not deliver. I mean, I enjoy the product they sell. But a place like this should be much more. As such, I will have to make the trek to their north location when in need of Snow Ice. For my review of Teapioca Lounge's ostensibly awesome desserts, see my review for the Parmer Lane location. Both times that I went to the Teapioca Lounge at Southpark Meadows, I had issues using coupons. The first time was an offer from either Google, Living Social, or Groupon for their Snow Ice desserts. I went one evening to redeem the coupon, arriving about a half-hour before the shop closed. Upon arrival, I was informed that the Snow Ice machine had been shut down for the evening. The coupon was only for Snow Ice desserts and the staff was unable (or refused) to provide a comparable deal. I vowed to not return to the Southpark Meadows location. Fool me once. Then I moved to South Austin. I had a hankerin' for some Snow Ice, so I decided to give Teapioca Lounge another try. After all, the Parmer Lane store hadn't disappointed. This time, there was a Yelp check-in offer (and as of March 27, 2014, it's still up). I checked in and claimed it. Clicked on "Redeem Your Check-In Offer" and alerted the cashier about my offer. She then pointed out that the offer had expired in October 2013. But the managers had never bothered to take it down. Again, I was not offered a comparable deal. Fool me twice. Essentially, I feel that Teapioca has employed a bait-and-switch tactic not once but twice. This is not the kind of place I enjoy patronizing. read more

amazing bubble tea that my family drove out of the way for... i got the taro tea with bursting lychee and it was delicious!!! they are also great with following covid guidelines with plenty of space for distancing. also they are so nice and have a bathroom open read more

Tapioca has been been amazing every time since my first review 5 years ago. This is my favorite tapioca place. If you can't deal with the long lines? During the week you can place online orders and go in and pick it up. It's a great drink/snack while you're getting much needed shopping done as well. read more

When we went they were super busy but our drinks were out in a really speedy time! It's always so good. It was my girlfriends first time trying it and she fell in love! Awesome spot. read more

I came here for the first time today to check them out. When I first arrived there was a sign saying that they would be opening an hour later due to a meeting. Ok, I can deal with that. So, I wet shopping around different stores in the same shopping center to kill some time and get some things done. I arrived back at teapioca an hour and a half later and they are still closed. If you are going to have your store hours posted, you should probably stick to it. If there's a meeting that needs to be held, then it should be gel outside those hours or have different employees run the store Not only that, but if your going to take the time to put up assign that says we will open at 11 today instead of 10, them you should probably open at 11. I give the management if this place two thumbs down. Learn to run a business :( As for the product that this place sells, I cannot attest as I have yet to try anything they have :( read more

I was impressed with the selection when I walked in to this place. They have a good variety of milk teas and smoothies, along with shaved ice and even taiyaki. It takes them a while to get through the orders, but I wasn't upset by it. The teas themselves were wonderful! We got a matcha milk tea with tapioca and a peach white tea with lychee bursters. Very refreshing and very good. The atmosphere was nice and quiet, and I think I will be back again! We don't have a whole lot of bubble tea in south Austin, so I'm happy I found this place! read more

Great place! My husband and I went in for a quick boba pickup and even though the line was long, we were up at the front within 5 minutes. My husband ordered the new Mangonada drink they were promoting and LOVED it. I had the Honeydew Cream with Tapioca and it was so fresh and yummy! Boba to drink ratio was perfect and did not leave me with a ton of drink and no boba at the end like a lot of places do. We will definitely be coming again when we're back in the area! read more

This place has slipped off. I've been coming here since it open but on my last 3 times here, The service time has increased tremendously. Seems short staffed. I walked in today and I was 3rd in line. The problem was there was about 10 people standing around waiting on their orders. Walked in at 8:30pm ordered at 8:34 and received my order at 8:54pm for 2 drinks. Pretty Disappointing! read more

I've spent years getting smoothies from this company and different locations and at this location I was constantly told how I won't like a certain flavor combo when as a customer I'm like I know what I want (I've had this combo for years) - I know what it taste like and constantly being warned how if I don't like it they won't take it back. So very rude and I chose not to argue. Never had anyone tell me what I'm going to like or not like at any location I've been to in Austin or San Marcos until my first time here when I was clear of what I wanted. I won't come back here. read more

Like its Northern counterpart, Teapioca lounge easily wins the award for best boba in Austin. Definitely, definitely get a cream tea: you won't regret the extra calories. I highly recommend the honeydew cream tea: it tastes like a liquidated melona bar if you know what that is but less sweet. Woohoo! At first it feels pricey, at $3.50 for boba, but then you realize a. you're in Austin, b. the quality is really really good,c. its $3.50 with the boba, d the size it comes in is the equivalent of a large anywhere else and e.. there's a google deal for 30% off +5% off for cash + groupon floating around making it much cheaper than the aforementioned $3.50. Oh yeah, they have punch cards too. Sign me up. read more

Got the green tea smoothie and was not disappointed. It had a pretty damn good balance of sugar and green tea and it passed my ice test..which is pretty much like if you go to any starbucks and order a frap there and wait 15 minutes, if the ice and coffee separates then it fails the test...well this smoothie passed...though idk if it's because I liked it so much that I drank it so fast or it actually passed because it didn't separate after 15 minutes.. haha. At 3.75 it was reasonably priced too..though Idk if tapioca pearls is extra or something but the guy i asked if I wanted them so I said i wanted to replace them with almond pudding...+50 cents. It's alright, though i wouldn't recommend it, stick to the tapioca because I heard it's good anyway. Anyways, the cashier was pretty unclear and was hard to communicate with but w.e. It wasn't AMAZING as everyone hyped it to be but it was still pretty good. 8.5/10 would come again. read more

Waited in line for 30 minutes to place and order of 40 dollars , when I'm trying to pay with a 50 dollar bill they didn't want to accept it , sorry but NOT coming back to this place. read more

I've been dying to come here! I've always wanted to try a bubble tea (: This place did not disappoint! The staff are really nice and helpful. At first the amount of different drinks can be a bit overwhelming. The first time I went I got a strawberry green tea with strawberry jelly but it just wasn't for me. The second time I got a honeydew with tapioca and it was so good! Not only do they have amazing drinks but they also have free wifi and games! Who doesn't love that? Although I will say that they need more games. They have a lot of guess games and some other board games but they need more. In all...I would definitely recommend this place! Nice place to go with friends and hang out to talk and play! read more

Smoothie was great but customer service... I give them a zero out of ten.. First off.. be prepared to wait at least 20 minutes during peak hours.... they take their time to make your drink and will go out of order. People who ordered behind you may get their order before you. The prices seem to change frequently. It's no uniform way to add or substitute ingredients in your drink. Lastly.. asking customers if they would like to tip... tacky.. as well as awkward. Customers can't discreetly decide the amount or even if they want to tip.. if you choose not to.. they seem to catch an attitude and take longer with your drink.. I wouldn't tip someone who took 20 minutes to make a SMOOTHIE.. read more

This is one of my favorite boba shops for slushees and smoothies! Tea here isn't particularly great but I love the smoothies. They use real fruit so I enjoy tasting the bits of fruit they put into the smoothies. I've gotten a piña colada and mango smoothie here and it was creamy and delicious! I loved it! The boba here is squishy and just the right consistency and a bit sweet! The aesthetic is nice and it's okay for studying. A bit loud so I'd come here to hang out only. I'll be back! read more

Love the taro smoothie here & the wide breadth if options! thumbs up & up & up. Partner also like going here with her mom.

My tapioca drink addiction began in my early teens in Houston. When I moved to Austin teapioca lounge off Parmer was the only place I would go to get my fix. I was so happy that they opened this south location near where I live. My two main drinks are avocado/coconut smoothie & ice cream coffee/coffee jelly They also have shaved ice cream that they call milky flurry. I have tried all flavors and love them all! I recommend trying any flavor drink or milky flurry here and you won't be disappointed! The seating area is also a great place to socialize with a group two or more people. The back also leads to more outdoor seating with a park called the grove read more

This place is awesome! The menu is guaranteed to make you say 'holy crap', or you get a free drink. Ok lying. But really, the menu of drinks is gigantic. My favorites are the ones with tapioca, you won't be mad, try it, unless you hate it, then you might be mad. The service isn't super fast, and the in store monster sized location will keep you wondering where everyone is, also if you're the only one who likes to enjoy balls in your drink, ya know. Tapioca? The wifi never worked, which made it so I couldn't annoy people with their airplay connection. read more

Yooooo. I stopped in this weekend for some boba and left with the best Mango Slushie I've ever had. They use real mango in the slush and it's soooo fresh and tasty!

Tea Lounge or Tapioca lounge.... It's a great lounge. Their original cream tea is hearty and full of flavors. Their selection is massive which makes my eyes cross when scanning the menu. Regardless, the delicious flavor enticed me to go down the menu, one by one. Staff is friendly, place is clean. Love having a tapioca lounge down south! Wish they had a snack menu. Other than that, love the teas. read more

This is my go-to place in Austin. Every time I drop by Austin, I head over to Tea Lounge. I used to stash up and buy an extra drink so I could drink it in the next morning. I love the milk tea with egg pudding. It's basic, but so good! You can taste the tea and the sugar isn't overpowering. I've also had the Thai tea and oreo cookie smoothie, and they're both really good. Make sure to check in on yelp for a 15% discount off the entire order. I've calculated and that's a better discount than the stamp card. Unfortunately when you use the yelp discount, they won't give you a stamp on the stamp card. This is a nice open space to study, when there's not too many people, and hang out with friends. read more

Yum!! I am always trying to get away and get me some teapioca! They have tons of flavors and have always been really helpful when deciding what to get... It can be overwhelming bc there are so many options! I haven't gotten a bad one yet.. My kiddos absolutely love the chewy balls too! read more

Got go to every boba place everywhere I go! I've been to a Teapioca Lounge before but just in a different location and it was 3years ago.

I'm coming back everyday if I have the time while I'm in this great state! read more

I have been here several times and they are always busy, so make sure you allocate enough time or order ahead. I enjoy the Coffee Frappioca, cherry and chocolate smoothie, honeydew cream blast, and Boba madness (if you are feeling froggy). The place is clean and encourage social distancing. The staff is nice, so tip them and be patient (no, I don't work there) because they are always busy. read more

Teapioca Lounge - Matcha green tea with herbal jelly and honey milk tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

My husband and I went here today and we're incredibly disappointed. If you are a boba enthusiast, this is not the place for you. However, if you're looking for a refreshing drink on a hot day, it gets the job done. I had the strawberry green tea and it was a nice juice drink. My husband got the cream blast tea (basic milk tea) and it was horrible - no depth of flavor and no tea flavor at all. I tasted his and it tasted like water and cream. We like to go to places like Feng Cha, Tea Cup, and ShareTea; we went here out of convenience and will not be returning. read more

The tea and Boba is GOOD. Plus they don't add too much ice. The only issue I had is the customer service. I waited a few minutes to be acknowledged to order, then wasn't given an estimate for how long it would take. If you are busy, it's common courtesy to let the customer know of a wait. I waited around 11 minutes for my tea, all the while I saw it sitting there ready for about 5 minutes. Employees walked past it without bothering to take it out of the machine to finally give to me. I understand being busy, I've worked a busy drink station before, but customer service should be addressed read more

Teapioca Lounge - Thai BlasTea with Boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

In my opinion, Teapioca is probably the best place to get bubble tea in Austin! Their bubble tea is not powdery or artificial tasting like some other places and the customer service is great! The price is also pretty fair at $3-4 for the size of the drink (they only have large size). Sometimes if you don't like the drink they will remake it for you for free! My favorite drinks to get here are the Taro milk tea with herbal jelly and the Passionfruit green tea with aloe vera. Occasionally I also get the regular milk tea with boba and the hazelnut milk tea is also great if you want to try something new! If you like red bean, there is a red bean smoothie that is pretty good as well. You can also ask for less sugar in your drinks! I usually get no sugar or less sugar because the drinks are already pretty sweet (for my taste, but some people like sweeter drinks). In the winter you can also get hot milk tea to warm yourself up! There are also lots of board games so you can come hang out with friends here! There's also lots of outlets if you want to study but sometimes it's pretty noisy! read more
