There are so many bad matcha spots in Austin that it makes you truly appreciate the places that do it right. The menu is simple and short. I got the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk which was so good! The strawberries on the bottom added the perfect amount of sweetness. The only con is that there is a long line (for good reason).

Most matcha, if not all matcha, in Austin is terrible, dull, gritty, and/or astringent. This one is…read morepretty good. Hand whisked with traditional tools, this matcha might be a bit pricey but it's worth it. Some notable things I liked: - the hojicha is surprisingly better than their matcha, but their matcha is still good. I normally never prefer hojicha so it surprised me a lot. - when I asked for less sweetness, it actually was less sweet. You would think that isn't surprising, but so many places still drown it in sugar. I appreciate that it's not like that here. - the wait was almost an hour for one of the first weekends they opened. It's like that for everything in Austin now though - it is so hot in there lol - the service is mindful and whoever wrote on our labels that day has gorgeous handwriting????? Overall the best matcha place in Austin. Don't skip, but it would be good if this place had a more permanent situation so we can look forward to a new wave of tea in Austin.

I don't think I've ever walked into a boba shop and immediately thought, "wow, this feels like an…read moreexperience," but here we are. The place was SUPER crowded when we arrived, but the line moved surprisingly fast, and there was even a kiosk to self-order if you didn't want to wait for cashier checkout. Efficiency aside, one of my favorite things was honestly the smell of the space. While waiting for our drinks, there was this fragrant tea aroma lingering in the air--you could genuinely smell the tea despite all the cream, milk, and sweetness floating around. As a tea lover, that immediately won me over. The place was also exceptionally clean despite how busy it was. I kept noticing employees consistently wiping things down and cleaning as they worked, which weirdly made me trust the sanitation here even more. And can we talk about the drink design? These drinks are SO cute. The intentional sticker placement over the lips, the little carrying handle--everything felt carefully stylized. You could tell they weren't just trying to make something flavorful, but something memorable and visually fun. I never thought I'd say a drink was Instagram-worthy, but these felt like the supermodels of the boba world. Even the receipt paper somehow felt luxurious (yes, I'm seriously mentioning receipt paper in a boba review). That tiny detail made me realize how intentional every aspect of this place feels. Nothing here felt accidental. Dong Ding Oolong Tea w. Fresh Milk - Very mild and creamy, almost like a mellow latte. Not my personal favorite, only because I had eaten way too much creamy food beforehand, but I genuinely loved the tea profile here and could absolutely see why others would adore this drink. High Mountain Pouchong Tea w. Lemon Juice & Mousse (Creamy Lemon Tart) - After all the sugar I had earlier in the day, this absolutely HIT the spot. The tartness was perfect and super refreshing. The cream had little bits of lemon zest mixed in, adding even more citrus aroma and making the drink feel brighter overall. I also tried adjusting the sweetness while ordering and was told it had built-in sweetness--but they reassured me that if it ended up too sweet, they'd gladly swap it for another drink. I genuinely felt like I was dealing with Amazon's generous return policy. Thankfully, no return was needed because this drink was perfect. Creamy Mango Tart - Literally the Lemon Tart, but mango. I loved this just as much. Both tart drinks felt refreshing and balanced, and instantly became fan favorites for us. Overview--I love, love, LOVE this place. Like... 1000/10 levels of love. From the experience to the drink quality to the sheer intentionality behind every detail, I couldn't be happier with this visit. I'm also ridiculously happy to hear one recently opened in Houston because I would LOVE to bring my cousins here someday. Would go back in a heartbeat--this has officially won the spot for my favorite boba place.

Definitely worth a try. I discovered today their Cassia Black Tea with Cream (bubble milk tea) is…read moreone of my favorite drinks. The honey tea latte was great too, it was light and refreshing. The drinks took about 15 minutes to come out, which is perfectly okay, because they actually brew the tea instead of using a pre-made powder mix like most boba shops.

The Boneless Combo ($14.99) comes with a box of boneless chicken and a box of fries and is worth it. I chose the housemade special sauce but didn't really like it. The fries were okay too. I would still give it another try with a different flavor. The Galaxy Kumquat Fresh Fruit Tea ($6.50) with lychee jelly ($0.75) we got at half ice and 75% sweet which was perfect for the evening. On a hotter day I would go full ice. The lychee jelly paired really well with the fruit tea and made for a nice refreshing drink with dinner. The Ube Matcha Milk Tea ($7.25) with crystal boba ($0.75) I ordered with no ice since I was saving it for the next day and it was still pretty full. I did 75% sweet which was perfect for this drink. You can't choose your milk so I'm not sure what they use. By the time it was delivered the two layers were already mixed so it looked more like a straight ube milk tea, and I didn't really taste the matcha either. Still really delicious though and the crystal boba added a nice chewy texture.

I will often test for 3 things: how long was the tea steeped? are tea leaves used? and lastly, is there more tea, cream, or ice in this drink?

Every drink I have ordered so far, HAS BEEN THE BEST DRINK EVER: From the Milk Tea & Milk Foam Series, I love: Oolong, Earl Grey, Green, and Black tea (served hot or cold, I don't discriminate), Slush Series: Taro Milk, and the Creative Series: Hibiscus, Passionfruit, and Honey Lemon Green Tea.

The space itself is definitely on the smaller side with only a few tables, but the ambiance is thoughtfully designed in a way that somehow makes the whole place feel cheerful, cozy, and welcoming instead of cramped. I ordered what I believe was a taro milk tea with almond milk and extra boba, lightly sweetened. The drink came out smooth, creamy, and balanced without becoming overly sugary. The boba had the right texture too - soft and chewy without turning mushy. You can tell they actually care about the drinks instead of just assembling them as fast as possible. The cashier was genuinely funny and friendly, which honestly adds more to a quick stop like this than people realize. Service was fast, parking was easy, and the menu had plenty of options without feeling overwhelming. This isn't really a "hang out for 4 hours and study" kind of boba place because the seating is limited, but for a quick stop, grab-and-go drink, or casual catch-up, it works really well. The surrounding area is still developing so there aren't crazy views or anything, but during sunrise or sunset the light coming through the windows actually gives the place a pretty nice vibe. Small shop, good energy, solid drinks, easy parking. I'll definitely be back.
