What People Are Saying About Momoko

Citysearch
In Short – The tiny store is scented with Asian teas, boutique soaps and incense. Walk inside and find a great selection of toys and trinkets from your favorite Japanese cartoons. There are also Japanese candies, pens, pencils, jewelry and watches, toys, games and a unique atmosphere that's truly off the beaten path. A couple more steps will find you standing among the tables and chairs of the teahouse. Sit and sip or take some home for later.

Good bubble tea, bad service
by leahs2tall
I have been getting bubble tea here at momoko since my freshman year of college in 2000. However, recently I decided to look for a new bubble tea joint do to poor customer service. The girls at the counter are rude and on at least 2 occasions it took me 15-20 plus minutes to get my drink. The last incident I had to just had to ask for my money back because I had to get back to work. I would understand if this was an isolated incident but unfortunately lately it has been the norm. The management needs to hire more people (and friendly ones at that) to meet the demands of its customers. What a disappointment :(
- Pros: Tasty Bubble Tea
- Cons: Rude Staff

Best milk tea in Austin
by weidiii
Their milk teas are a bit pricier, but in my opinion it's worth it. The quality difference between Momoko and Tapioca House/Coco is pretty obvious (whatever Tap House uses as a creamer actually makes me sick), and their tapioca* are always perfectly cooked. (*citysearch won't let me type b@lls after tapioca--why is this an inappropriate word?)
- Pros: Really good milk tea
- Cons: closes early

Great Gifts!!
by rvaughn75
Today was my first visit to Momoko, and I must say, it was delightful. They have an amazing selection of Japanese and general Asian gift items, along with some quirky miscellaneous items that I have never come across anywhere else. My only complaint, was the service. The store has so much character, they should employ a staff that can live up to it. Attractive girl, but she would have served better as store decoration.
- Pros: Variety
- Cons: Parking, unengaging staff.
