Busy busy! This location is busy every time I go. I the location is good because there is good parking and food options near by. You can also sit outside and enjoy your drink. However, I usually have to wait atleast 10 minutes for my drink. I order the Mulberry Green BlasTea this time and it was refreshing and not super sweet. I can definitely see myself getting this drink. I got to this location for the scenery . This is a great area to relax and shop. read more

Fun little date spot. Love the vibe of this place as they decorated for Christmas. Anything in the menu is great so you can't go wrong. I highly recommend walking around the outside. There's a trial that leads to a pond. 8/10 Milk Tea read more

Came here to get drinks for rainy day!! This place is located in the beautiful area of Arboretum mall! Right in front of the store, there's a wide space where you can relax and enjoy and when you get thirsty you can come in and get your favorite drinks! We ordered brown sugar boba and matcha strawberry boba with 50% sweetness! Twas perfect flavor and sweetness!! Will be back again! We like the store vibe as well! read more

The menu here is overwhelming, and some of the drinks seem redundant. For example, they have a Red Panda series of drinks, and I am not sure how those are different from their regular ones. I settled on the oolong cream tea, or BlasTea, which was also a little confusing because milk isn't in the name. It was really good and sweet, which I like. I asked for 50% sugar, but I feel like they gave me the full sugar. My friend got the black milk tea, which I think is called the cream black BlasTea. She got it with 25% sugar, and she said the taste was really off. It was more bitter than she expected, and that is her consistent boba order at different shops. I tried it and agree that it was not a pleasant taste. I wasn't able to try their regular tapioca because they don't start serving it until 11am, so I had their baby tapioca. I liked how it was sweet. Sometimes baby boba has a weird taste, but this one was good. My drink was $6.65 with the baby boba. They have two sizes, which are basically large (the normal tall size) and massive (like truly monstrous for a boba size). There is only one table for studying/working as the other seats have really short tables. They should really switch out those short tables for normal ones to improve their seating. I like the feeling of sitting on the second floor, but it would have been over for us if the one table were taken as we came here to study. They don't have a restroom, but there is a public one for the shopping center right next door. They are supposed to open at 10am, but we were waiting around for 10-15 minutes for it to open. read more

I don't get why this franchise is so popular here in Austin. It is consistently so mediocre and not good. It's also expensive for what it is. I've been to this location twice now and the first time I got a mango smoothie which was not bad. This time I got thai tea with boba and a fresh fruit tea with boba. The boba this time was actually not terrible! The thai tea was the worst thai tea I've ever had. So obviously a powder that you can see the powder in the cup. I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh fruit tea. It had hella fruit and some of the fruit was pretty solid! The kiwi was sour af and I love kiwi. The grapes would be better if there wasn't seeds. The boba was good! And the drink was not bad. You can't adjust the sweetness level on a good amount of drinks which tells me most are premade. Upstairs there's a couple of places to sit but not the best for studying since there are minimal outlets. The table to chair height is a little off so it's not great for long term studying. There was also a mosquito (I know they can't control that) that was terrorizing us and having a feast. Also did not see a bathroom. However, I'm a sucker for an upstairs space AND the people here are nice. read more

I've gotten several people hooked on bubble tea from this location specifically. I love this location since it's literally down the street from me. It has huge portion options (yes I love drinking my calories). The shop is small and friendly, but not super crowded. I am completely addicted to their coconut cream blast with extra Boba easy ice. And because I don't always get over there as much as I want, I do get the largest size. I love that they have that big size! read more

The sweetness of the tea is good, but it can easily be diluted once the ice melts on a very hot day Boba is bland, so not my favorite. I think next time I will get a drink w/o boba. read more

This review will be short and sweet (literally)! I came in a few weeks back with Thing Two for some boba (I mean what else does one get here). I was pleasantly surprised to see that Teapioca Lounge now offers Magonadas! I guess I am really the last one to know. This is a slushie blended with mango, lemon, and Tajin seasoning and served with chamoy and a tamarind candy stick. This beverage was fresh, sweet, and just divine. Once Thing Two and I purchased our beverages, we ventured outside to play chess on the large chess set just outside the establishment. This location while tucked away is positioned at a prime spot as it sits in a shopping center where consumers are spending on non-essential items and as such it garners business from weary shoppers looking for a sweet treat or just a break from it all. read more

I guess this place is now a mini boba chain in Austin. Typical boba drinks but the menu is kind of confusing as they have all kinds of variations of cremes and smoothies. Prices are average - about $6 bucks. If you're in the Arboretum this is your boba stop. read more

Went to support Teapioca Arboretum for their Grand Reopening after what we've been through a few weeks ago at the Arboretum. They offer a great variety of fresh tea with added flavors, milk tea (cream blastea), smoothie, matcha series, fresh fruit juice, and flurries (snowyn). We've tried almost everything on the menu. My favorites: oolong milk tea, durian smoothie, lychee smoothie, red bean smoothie, and mangonada. If you're new to boba tea, start with the basic like cream black blastea or oolong milk tea. Oolong tea has nutty taste to it. Lychee smoothie and mangonada are super refreshing. You have an option to add fresh mango on top of mangonada at additional cost. Red bean smoothie is sweet and nutty. Last but not least, durian smoothie. I grew up in Asian and loveeee durian fruit, so I love it. If you haven't tried it or you may have heard, it has a very strong smell and taste to it (some people compare it to a rotten smell...lol). We also got to meet and chat with the owner from HQ - Johnson. Johnson is very nice and cares for each customer walking through the doors. Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

I love the flavor choices here! I ordered the traditional black tea milk tea with boba. I got it 50% sweet and sweetened with honey. I thought it was cool that you get the choice to sweeten with sugar, honey, or stevia. My partner ordered the taro coconut smoothie. Both drinks were soooooooo good! I loved the honey in my drink, and the taro coconut smoothie tasted like it had fresh taro in it. I loved that we were able to enjoy our drinks out in the park behind Teapioca. Overall it was a good boba spot and I would go back for more! read more

Great place to get tapioca. It's relatively small, but they get the drinks out pretty quickly. There was a long line when I was there, but I got my drink fast. The tea taste delicious and fresh and there's a beautiful view outside of the cafe. You can sip your boba while taking in the view. Great place, good boba. read more

This is my favorite place to get boba. There are a lot of options to satisfy nearly any craving, the employees are friendly and they make my drink better than any other location. If you scan the app with each transaction, you earn points that quickly add up (unlike other places that seem to take forever to get any type of discount or reward). read more

My friend wanted to get some boba after a "hike" that we did, so I chose this place. Their menu can be overwhelming since they have cream blasteas, coffee, frappioca, juices, premium teas, smoothies, slushies, and more! I ended up getting the boba madness with passion fruit. You can't adjust the sweetness in this particular drink because it comes with so many different add-ons. It was pretty good, but I think two or three toppings is good enough LOL. I tried my friend's oolong cream blastea and it was a little bland, but she did ask for half sweetness. My other friend's cream blastea was like a milk tea, so nothing special about it. read more

Hands down, best bubble tea I've ever had! Got the Taro cream blast with tapioca. Honestly, I wasn't even a huge fan of taro before I got it here, I just wanted to try something other than my usual. Holy cow it was so good that's going to be my go to drink from now on. Their tapioca was so fresh and chewy it left me craving more. I will for sure be coming back here the first chance I get! read more

I love Teapioca, and I'm so glad there is another location I can express my love at. This location is great though, it's very scenic, it's near all the trees and cows at the Arboretum. The design of this location is nice, there are two levels to take advantage of the views, there is also seating on the first level for those who do not wan to climb the stairs. The service is always quick and friendly. I enjoy the Taro Smoothie here, the Strawberry Banana seems to be a hit or miss at this location. I hope that gets fixed though. The parking is also a hit or miss depending on he time and day you go. read more

Love my bubble milk and I am jumping with joy that Teapioca Lounge has opened a location in the arboretum! I have always frequented their Parmer location and now that they have one within my home and WALKING distance no less, my body is ready to get some exciting sugary dessert drinks in me! I really enjoy the interior design, small and intimate with a nice staircase for a 2nd floor setup. The second floor has a few cozy single lounge chairs for your enjoyment and you can peek around the peeps in the arboretum! This space has been closed forever and I am so happy Teapioca found and renovated the home to make the arboretum shopping area more lively! I can see them flourishing with the stone cows and the giant fireplace for people to relax around. Great drink selection and topping add ins like I have always known and love, and if you don't love your drink, they remake it, no questions asked. I stopped by and they're almost all ready with the final touches but yay! Sugary drinks FTW and there's always Starbucks too should I need my coffee fix nearby. read more

This is my favorite Teapioca location because it's located at the Arboretum. I am totally addicted to their mangonada with boba and added mangoes. It's better than the mangonada at the Domain and it's not too spicy. I love the tamarind stick. It's sweet, tart, and slightly spicy! read more

They always make my drinks exactly as I like them, and the customer service is great!! Try your drink with a flavored gel and boba. Or even try some bursters. If you don't know what those are, just ask. Boba tea is always fun! read more

The only reason I come here is because it's the only boba place around here but probably will just go to Starbucks instead. I never give bad reviews for service but I've never had good service here. Does not allow me to customize tea with less ice, fine, I get that. Then also would not allow me to add water to it when I said the drink is too sweet?! I even waited for a time when all the other customers are gone so I'm not taking up their time when they are busy. I guess it's worth driving a little further for better drink + service. read more

UPDATE: Customer service here is 11/10!! A huge shoutout to Shira and Amanda. The team saw my original review and immediately responded. Tried a mango smoothie on the house (with real and fresh fruit) and it was delicious. I am extremely impressed by the lengths the staff are willing to go to ensure quality care and satisfaction. I will definitely be coming back to this location after this positive experience! ---- ORIGINAL: Shira, the manager, and Amanda were super helpful and friendly this afternoon. They helped me choose and create a custom drink. Granted, the tea could be stronger, and the boba could be more flavorful, but overall, my drink was okay. Price was $4 with a discount I found. I love the ambience of the shop. Not many seats inside, but there are plenty of outdoor activities and seating. Huge windows make you feel relaxed and comfortable. There's two tiers so explore both. Lastly, restrooms are clean but detached (around the corner, down the stairs on the right). Solid spot! (Next time I'll try a smoothie since the tea was not the best). Stars for service and environment/location/easy parking. read more

Tapioca Lounge really needs to step up their game if they're planning on doing well at Austin. The lounge itself is kinda tiny. There's just a bottom floor where most of the space is taken up by the counter, and a small top floor if you want to hide away and sip away at your boba. Their drinks and tea lack flavor, and are often mediocre at best. I'm also a bit disappointed that I can't get a sample of their tea before committing because I was told that the tea is freshly made. The menu is absolutely huge. No wonder their drinks are all over the place. Tapioca lounge needs to go back to the basics and make their cream blastea, or their equivalent of a milk tea at other locations, actually passable first. I'll be sticking with Sharetea for my bubble tea fix. read more

The service was great. He attended to me promptly and the smoothie came out under five minutes. This was my first time here, and as I received my smoothie there was a plastic film on top. I was super confused and tried to peel it off. After some struggle, I asked the guy how do I remove the film. Very nicely, he explained that you stab the straw through the plastic film. I laughed and it worked Feeling foolish, he said it was ok and I instantly felt better. Once I tried the smoothie, it was delicious. I love my Strawberry Banana Smoothie. read more

Cute spot to grab some yummy boba. A bit tucked away and hard to find at first, the lounge is a cool space with beautiful wood counters lining the windows on the bottom floor. There is a nice seating area upstairs, although it was filled when we got there. Prices are fair. They have a huge variety: milk teas, espresso drinks, smoothies, and more. Able to customize your drink to your liking. Staff is friendly and pleasant. Good boba spot in tucked away in the Arboretum. If weather is nice, there is a great patio directly outside that sits near what I think is a park. Can't wait to come back when it warms up. read more

The tea is generally better than other places as they actually brew their tea. They don't use the nasty powder stuff. Generally pretty stingy on tapioca but a double order can solve that. Maybe some quality control issues from time to time (refer to picture). Didn't realize the spoon was in there until I got home as it was dark. Heard something clanking inside my cup that didn't sound like ice. It was the spoon they used to stir my drink. Now I have an extra spoon for my household. read more

When it comes to milk tea, I highly prefer Kung Fu, but Tea Lounge has a wider variety of drinks. A couple I've tried and liked included the strawberry banana smoothie and the cafe sua da (Vietnamese iced coffee). Only criticism is that I can't tell if it's powder based or not. Though I did enjoy it. For those who like getting work done, there's a beautiful upstairs area that's great for conversation/work. A nice alternative to Starbucks. read more

I've had Teapioca Lounge a few times ago, a few years back, at the Parmer location. Back then, the bubble tea options were few. But now, with other places in town, they've got some competition. I ordered the dried plum black blastea with mini tapioca. I thought that the flavor was a little strange. I'm usually a big fan of plum (and yes, the Asian plum flavor) but theirs tasted a little off to me. Their tea also didn't have a very strong tea flavor. The mini tapioca however, were cooked well. Additionally, I asked for a no ice drink and received a full ice drink Also tried the winter melon blastea and peach green milk tea. In my opinion, the flavors were a little light. Unfortunately with big names like Sharetea and Gongcha in town, I was not as impressed. This location is two stories and located in the newly renovated Arboretum area with tables and the marble cows nearby. I could see it being a decent environment to hang out, or study during off hours. read more

I was all set to go total Yelp cynic on this one, because I know Teapioca has been dynasty building in three states, and what could they possibly have been doing that would take them eight months to complete this newest Arboretum location? Okay, now I know. They were making this one perfect. It's the exact same menu as the others, except this is the one Teapioca you could conceivably live in. And I'm pretty sure if you measured its square footage, it's the smallest Teapioca ever designed. I am curious how that'll play when this place gets crowded. So do what I do, and come here when there's no one else around. (Okay, I do get lucky sometimes.) Because I think you'll think exactly what I think - that this is the hippest & coolest Teapioca ever. Two floors, staircase, digital media without being annoying, and the usual 67,000+ combinations of milk tea & add-ins. If you like the occasional plunge into the Wacky World of Boba - and happen to enjoy the Arboretum anyway - this newest Teapioca Lounge just made it a whole lot better. read more

Teapioca Lounge has been my favorite boba place in Austin for a long time. Even with all the new boba shops popping up, Teapioca Lounge still remains one of my favorites. They have a very extensive menu with cream blasteas (which is just milk tea), fruit teas, smoothies, and even more! You will definitely find something you like here! One of my favorites is the Tropical Matcha smoothies (I recommend it at less sugar). It has the Matcha flavor but it's fruity at the same time- an odd combination, but absolutely delicious! My all time favorite drink to get at boba shops is Oolong milk tea (here, known as Oolong cream blastea). Definitely recommend customizing the sugar level as some of the drinks can be very sweet. And add your phone number for reward points! read more
