Our kids are super into Boba, specifically “Brown Sugar Milk Tea Boba” and we’ve made it our personal mission to find the best bubble tea in Austin. Sometimes “the best” means knowing it’s yummy, and we don’t have to wait in line, and sometimes “the best” means they like it because that particular boba shop has a claw machine. Very subjective. Always delicious. We give you Our Top 10 Places for Boba in Austin.
709 E. Slaughter | 1725 E. Riverside
With two locations right here in Austin, Tea Cup Boba is one of our kids’ faves, and that makes us happy because there’s one just a 12-minute drive for us, and they have all the sugar options (ya’ now, 100 percent sugar, 75 percent, 50 percent, 25 percent). They have all the tea and boba options you can think of and are currently featuring their Strawberry Milk Tea Boba. How refreshing! Check out their IG here.

We found this Boba shop’s North location after a birthday party we attended at Dartm Em’ Up in Austin. The boba was excellent and they have a bunch of really cute kid-friendly tiny-claw machines that seemed to give a prize each time. 10/10 for cuteness and deliciousness. Our kids are always asking to come back to Tsaocaa.
