Please use non-dairy milk. At least almond milk, please 🙏🏽🙏🏽. I want to enjoy the tea.Edit: I appreciate that you offer lactose-free milk however I try to avoid dairy products. I have also overheard many customers ask if they can have their drinks made with plant-based milk. I think a lot of customers would appreciate it if you would offer this. Thank you :)!
I want to love this place. I’ve gone to purchase tea on two separate occasions and both times an hour later I have an awful stomachache. (I decided to go back a second time and ask for less sweetener thinking that might have been the issue... nope). I’m not sure if it’s a hygiene issue but please fix it! No one should be getting sick over tea...
The environment is very welcoming, the employees were very nice , but unfortunately i tried the coconut milk tea & it didn’t taste like coconut, i got more of a foamy coffee taste , the texture was a bit foamy as well , the tapioca balls were hot and somewhat undercooked , i then went on and tried the strawberry lemonade & it was very syrupy , too sweet & again the tapioca balls were hot, the strawberries tasted as if they were taken out of a can and very fake . I give this place a 3 out of 10 and that’s just because because the interior is beautiful & it was very local .
While strolling through Harlem I stumbled on this cute corner boba cafe. Most of their ingredients are directly from Taiwan, the birthplace of boba! I got the almond milk tea which is made with almond jam, none of that fake stuff. My friend got the lychee tea with boba (and pieces of lychee). Both were great! The boba here is the right chewiness and not sweet. What a neighborhood gem!
Today Is the day that I will officially say that I will never order from this place ever again. I FOUND A HAIR ON MY DUMPLINGS!!!!! I almost chocked on it while chewing on the dumpling because OF HOW THICK THE HAIR WAS. Seriously? I’m super super mad I paid $8 dollars for this. I even threw everything up. I AM SO DISGUSTED. How did you not see that extremely THICK BLACK HAIR! & it was literally engraved in the chicken stuffing. Never again. I really want my money back. Ontop of that I ordered two dumplings & i’m so traumatized. SEEE PICTURESVoid this place.

2021-07-01My teas were very good and nicely sized. They don’t include the “bubbles,” but they can be added for just 60 cents extra as well as a variety of other extras like aloe. They also have special popping flavored bubbles such as mango flavored and aloe along with other additional options you can add to your drink.They allow you to choose the level of sugar you prefer as well as how much ice you’d like in your beverage.They offer a small selection of food: chicken dumplings and a chili noodle dish among a couple other appetizer-type items, but it’s mainly just for teas: of which they have a large variety of flavors and customization options.

2022-05-07It was appropriately priced. Love the mango jelly with the piña colada slush. The honeydew milk tea wasn’t bad either. Will be coming back again.

2022-02-03Great drinks and food, however Ive had my order messed up often. Ive been very clear and they still may mess it up. But if you bring it to their attention, theyll fix it for you! Nice staff but can get crowded sometimes.

2021-10-24The bubble tea is consistent every time. The staff is friendly and helpful.The food is okay, but if you get the noodles, do choose a protein.If youre a frequent visitor, get a bingo card to explore the bubble tea menu and get a chance at spinning the wheel for a prize.

2022-03-30Really nice staff/understanding! However the drink tasted horrible. My friend said it would almost kill her with the sweetness level and kill her because of the bitterness. Just simple blah, for this time!!!!

2019-08-19Very convenient location near City College. The staff is very friendly and most importantly, the bubble tea is awesome! My personal favorite is the passion fruit slush.
