Blue Water Tea Shop — Restaurant in Austin

OMG FINALLY a tea shop that's matching international standards in Austin! Huge menu (like a real Tier-1 city tea shop). Cute decor. Might be understaffed. I wonder how the owner will stay in business with the high rent (the area is expensive) and actually not super expensive menu. The service we had was great (young gent working as barista was so busy, yet delivers and was efficient, polite ALL by himself). We tried the chicken cutlet bento, takoyaki (yes they have takoyaki here!), Garlic chicken wings, grape tea smoothie, white peach oolong tea. All quite good. They even put furikake on the rice! True flavors! I lived in California, Toronto, China before And I ensure you this tastes authentic. I am pretty sure this is a family owned business, please don't let it close down during covid, Austin. Come and try the food and drinks. Oh also, the shop is...

I ordered sticky rice red bean milk tea and some food and snacks.

They claim the sticky rice milk tea is their secret recipe but I’m honestly disappointed by it. It has very little amount of sticky rice and red beans. What’s worse is that the rice and beans are both hard to chew, seemingly undercooked. I had this kind of drink elsewhere and it shouldn’t be like this. If you claim this as one of your specialities, you better live up to it.

The snack I got is the fried chicken cutlet and it’s just a very small portion. It’s kind of letting down considering is a 10 dollar food which you could get a full meal in other restaurants. The taste is...

Decided on a whim to try a new boba spot and this place exceeded our expectations. They have a huge drink menu with all the staples which we tried (brown sugar milk tea and peach soda yakult) and enjoyed. Their food menu was just as impressive with pretty exotic Chinese street style options for a boba shop in Austin (takoyaki, grilled eel, and Bavarian sausage). The best part is their HAPPY HOUR (photo attached). With boba and gas prices reaching ridiculous amounts nowadays, a shop with a happy hour just hits the spot. We got 2 regular sized drinks and a snack platter for only $16! Will be coming...
