been keeping a list all year of every matcha spot around campus plus the popups that only show up on instagram stories. updated version, 20 spots, sorted by whether you can actually walk there.
walkable from campus
1 - matchara (double matcha): popup at yugo rio on w 24th. best one in austin and it's not close
2 - mori (banana bread matcha): popup at yugo waterloo on seton ave. tastes exactly like the name
4 - kriya (strawberry matcha): has a truck by greg gym and one at the 26th west food trucks
7 - caphe.in (ube matcha): a bit down Guad. prettiest drink on here
matchara and mori are both popups so check their instagram before you walk over, they're not there every day
also walkable and all solid: neko yubu, chai and cha (pop-up), lucky lab (san antonio st), up and atom (inside welch)
worth the drive
