Momoko's is a little gift shop and tea room in Austin that has lots of cutesy cartoony japanesey stuff as well as boba (tapioca) drinks. There was all these things that I wanted to buy but the prices are a bit ridic. My fave drink is hands down the Kicking Kangaroo. I love coffee and I love milk tea and when it is put together the right way, it's frackin' LETHAL and OH SO GUT! There are a couple of boos I need to mention. The place is small and there were a good amount of people wanting some boba. We ordered our drinks and prolly got our drinks some forty minutes later. The drink was a bit of a rip off considering it's more expensive than most places in Houston and the cup was small too! Nothing beats Teahouse! But man. The drink is so yummy. I tried to drink it as slowly as possible to savor every sip. Another thing that was a bit annoying was that right when we walked in, there were all these signs yelling at us. No outside food/drink. No picture taking (that's B.S. you mean little asian lady!). No shoplifting (I don't make these things up). If you break something, you have to buy it at original price. And my favorite, 'Asking for less ice does not mean you get more drink'. Seriously. Only asians would post up something like that. That's something my mom would totally do in a heart beat. But as a big consumer of coffee milk tea, that's just not right! Teahouse and Cafe 101 always tops off my drink even when I ask for little or no ice. That's why Houston is so great. Even though the mean asian lady was watching me carefully, suspicious that I may be breaking her no picture taking rule, I stealthily snapped away, using human bodies for coverage.
