I cannot say enough amazing things about Junbi and its incredible owner and manager Kelly. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the love, care, and passion she has poured into every inch of this beautiful new space.
Kelly is truly one of the sweetest, most genuine people youâll ever meet. Her warmth and kindness are just as refreshing as the drinks she serves. You can tell she has put her whole heart into making Junbi a place that not only serves amazing matcha but also brings people together.
Now letâs talk about the drinks because wow. The Madagascar Vanilla Matcha is absolute perfection: smooth, lightly sweet, and packed with premium matcha flavor. The Chrysanthemum drink is a total game changer. Itâs floral, light, and unlike anything else in Austin. You can tell every drink is crafted with intention and high-quality ingredients.
I literally drove 35 minutes out of my way just to come here. Thatâs how worth it this place is.
Iâve seen a few reviews giving lower ratings just because they donât serve traditional milk tea, but that honestly isnât fair. Itâs very clear that Junbi is a matcha-focused shop, and they absolutely shine in what they do. If youâre expecting a typical boba place, this may not be it, but if youâre open to something elevated and thoughtfully made, youâll be so glad you came.
If youâre in the Austin area or even just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop...

I bought two drinks - the mango matcha latte and the strawberry matcha latte
Strawberry matcha: 4.5/5, a tad bit watery if I'm picky. Matcha is legit though. Boba : 6/5, excellent texture and perfect QQ. They know what they're doing and only a couple other places in greater Austin do.
Mango matcha : 3/5, it was way less sweet than my strawberry drink that I ordered at the same level. They may need to adjust levels between drinks.
Service was nice, drinks were made quickly given the huge line meaning management trained and prepared well for the first day. I hope they don't get too affected by the global matcha shortage going on. Excited for a solid boba place...
   Read moreiâve been here so many times with my friends and family but today i called to order online and they said i could order online and pick up so i was fine with that, but when i went to their website i didnât see the Cedar Park, TX location and i called them twice and they didnât answer. I decided to go to the store because i really wanted matcha today. they open at 11am and when i got there at 11am the door was still locked, a girl inside signaled that they werenât open yet even though it was already 11am and they said they open at 11am. itâs honestly super inconvenient because a lot of stores now open 10â15 minutes early or at least take pick up calls. even when I got there exactly at their opening time they still didnât...
