Teapioca – A Classic Lounge Experience in Cedar Park
We’re proud to have partnered with Teapioca, one of Austin’s most beloved local boba tea brands, on their newest store in Cedar Park. With locations across Texas, Teapioca has built a reputation for both quality drinks and a consistent, inviting atmosphere—and this store continues that tradition with a fresh, modern touch.
The design concept for this location focuses on creating a lounge-like environment that feels relaxed, open, and social. As guests enter the space, they’re welcomed by a large communal sofa, anchored by a statement pendant light overhead. At the heart of the space is a custom feature wall, designed as a rotating “selfie wall”—a photogenic backdrop that can be seasonally updated for holidays or special events. It invites customers to take photos, share on social media, and engage with the brand in a fun, visual way.
While the guest area is kept clean and minimal with a warm and modern feel, the heart of Teapioca’s operation lies behind the counter. Known for their wide variety of teas and their commitment to making fresh boba on site every day, Teapioca’s kitchen setup is more robust than most bubble tea shops. This includes a custom range hood, large stove, and a number of specialty dispensers and storage systems, all designed to support their unique preparation process.
We worked closely with Teapioca International, the franchisor, to ensure every element—from millwork and counter layout to kitchen flow and tea equipment integration—met their high operational standards and preserved consistency across their brand. This store is a perfect example of how Teapioca blends function with experience—offering guests a cozy, photogenic place to relax, while also delivering the high-quality drinks they’re known for. We’re excited to see this new location thrive as part of Cedar Park’s growing commercial scene.
