“I was in the area after a yoga session and decided to get a matcha afterwards. I usually go to Haraz, but wanted to try something new. I got the Levitea matcha and Jeffery was so helpful in explaining the different drinks on the menu and really attentive to the quality of my drink. I will definitely be coming back in the future to try other drinks for sure.“

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and great service—you won’t be disappointed!“

“I stumbled upon this place because I was in the area. I got a brown sugar bubble tea. It was delicious, I love that I could taste the richness of the tea. I also got the unagi and spicy mayo salmon inari. They were really yummy! I would recommend giving this place a try.“

“This is a hidden gem in the Lower East Side. They make pretty good boba but I want to talk about the interior. The nostalgia in here is amazing. Everything looks like it was personally selected. The the curation of this place is sick. I got the Grapefruit Delight. I was skeptical of trying it because I thought it would be tart but it was actually smooth. No tartness at all. With amount of lychee. Not to discredit how good the boba but this spot is fire to me and I would just chill in here if I could. Whoever did the decor needs a raise lol. Shout out to my guy Kenny great service and hospitality.“

“Best Taro bubble tea in NY & NJ!“

“I love Heytea and this place was great. This time I tried the brown sugar milk boba without the tea since I can’t have caffeine. It was really good. I think the milk was thicker than I expected. I wish I got 25% sugar instead of half but it still tasted good. My friend got the mango coconut boom and she liked it.“

“We were first timer’s today… the girl that help us was so sweet and kind! The service was excellent! My son loved the brown sugar milk with bubbles!“

“Maple sugar tea packed w gingerm“

“As a Taiwanese, the bubble tea here is quite authentic. I tried so many bubble tea shops in NY/NJ. N25 Nitro tea is the best one I ever had so far. I like the way how they cook the boba. The bobas are perfectly cooked—not too mushy, not too hard.“

“Sooo good, the boba is nice and sweet just as I like it, the rice balls are very good and hot. The place is nice and calming with a bunch of choices on the menu that fit my liking. Overall the place is very clean and people should visit it more😊.“

“I came in close to closing on a really rainy day, but Sharice (I’m so sorry if I misspelled it😭🙏🏼) was so sweet and took my order! Has great taste in music too! 🙂‍↕️ I had a really frustrating and tiring day, so thank you so much for making my day 🥹❤️“

Good vibes and energy here.“

“Really excellent bubble tea shop. Everything is super fresh and well crafted with good produce. I got the grapefruit tea with tapioca and there were actual slices of grapefruit, and the tapioca was the perfect texture. Definitely more expensive but worth it for the quality.“

“Bubble tea and their pastries are amazing! I had the matcha cheesecake and it was delicious! Love the staff over there!“

“Trying not to be a gatekeeper is hard when the fruit and tea drinks are so good. So far Ive been getting their ginger teas, lattes, mochi and sesame drinks and they’re fresh non-powder even the persimmons and pear teas, healthy options. They make amazing batches of different filling egg waffle and I haven’t had good one in longest time.“

“Have been coming here pretty frequently the past couple of years and the bubble tea is the best in the area. The owners are extremely kind people and make you feel like you are valued as a customer. Tried Banh Mi here for the first time and it surpassed my expectations.“

“Cute little spot ! We were in and out, my husband and I are very picky about sweet things, we don’t like to much sweet so this spot met our expectations and we were very pleased about it, also they have so many delicious/intriguing choices. Will be going back! To try more for sure.“

“Always look forward to the brandy milk tea in the winter, interesting new flavors every so often, and the cute giveaways!“

“Worker is very kind. Got the large 3Q milk tea and popcorn chicken, only $12. Generous with the popcorn chicken portion and it smells mad good. If you buy a drink, any choice of snack is $4.99 only. Super tasty, definitely check it out. Not expensive like the other boba shops in Chinatown.“

The staff was patient and happy to explain the different options and give recommendations. I always stop by whenever I can to enjoy this delicious treat. I definitely recommend trying it!

“Love this boba place. Happy that they have a location closer to me now. Tea is always good and pretty too!!. They also have my favorite tapioca pearls. Im very picky with mine since I like mine a certain texture. They have a very soft but still has the chew.“

“This place was quite unique. Serving you a little drink before you order. They were so friendly, bubble drink with taro was so good and comforting. The only thing is that I found it was quite expensive and inside it seems that we're in some kinde factory.
Besides that, go taste it you will no be disappointed.“

“the queen of oolong milk tea and spice crab avocado onigiri is my go to and never ever disappoints. oolong milk tea is my favorite and i can never find it anywhere so i’m so happy there’s a spot near me now that has it and it’s delicious. the onigiri… no notes. so good. especially the spicy crab and avocado one. it’s my current hyperfixation, i’m obsessed. the customer service is also always great.“

“Delicious place first tome going today and I really liked it the pineapple green tea Nata jelly was super good. I’ll be going back for more.“

“This spot is a go-to spot for me. Love the products and the sushi is great here for everything Japanese. There’s 50% off sushi after 8pm deal is genuinely so amazing for dinners. Can’t find it anywhere else that I’ve been too. Service is a 10/10 too.“

“I bought ice cream from this place instead of a cake for my birthday, and I'm glad I did! INCREDIBLY delicious flavorful ice cream with a nice, stretchy texture alongside soft fresh toppings, and they make sure you get a good amount of them too! The milk teas are good too! A lot of boba tea places I've bought from put too much milk, and it completely overpowers the tea flavor, but not this place! I strongly recommend the Earl Grey Milk Tea; it tastes like Earl Grey tea mixed with melted choco-vanilla ice cream in the best way possible. My personal favorites are the Thai Moment ice cream, and The Honeydew Milk Tea! 10/10 sweet treats! <3“

“Stopped by after work ordered a Passion Fruit Green tea and a crab rice roll. The bubble tea and the rice roll were both delicious!

The service was also great, very nice and welcoming workers.

Will definitely be coming here often“

“This is my wife’s favorite tea spot in the boroughs, and I do like it as well. We exclusively get the bamboo kiwi oolong tea (with tea jelly) and it hits the spot for a refreshing and unique fruit tea. I’ve heard the other things are good but I can’t bring myself to try them because we keep getting the bamboo kiwi oolong tea

What’s actually crazy tho is that I was there today and got us two teas (you know which kind) and they gave me like a gold seal Statue of Liberty cat. It’s actual gold, it came with a grading I’m not joking. I assume it’s for Lunar New Year, but like this store just gave me gold for free? That’s crazy. They need a second location, preferably in Brooklyn next to my apartment building

*oh actually I do remember trying the rice mochi tea and it was fire I can’t believe I forgot“

“I got the Pisces drink (mango/lychee/jasmine green tea) 70% sweet and less ice. It was perfectly sweet without being overly sweet or watery. The strawberry heart jelly was unique so I couldn’t help but try it!! I was told that the brown sugar milk tea was good as well and the prices are very reasonable considering the size (they only have one size, the drinks are about $5.50 but it might depend what you get) I’ll definitely come back again to try their other drinks, food, and desserts. They sell ice cream and mochi donuts too! They have a kiosk where you can order from and indoor seating. The service is fast.“

“Such a sweet hidden gem in Hell’s Kitchen! Every drink feels thoughtfully made, with clean, vibrant flavors you can really taste. I love that everything is organic and not loaded with chemical sweeteners. Each drink has its own distinct character.

The coffee creations are incredible. The mocha matcha is my favorite, and the spring mango drink is so refreshing and unique.

The best part is the owner. She truly pours her heart into every recipe and always takes the time to recommend something she thinks you will love. You can tell she genuinely wants you to leave happy, and that care really makes the experience special.“

“Tried the juice bubble tea and fries- fries had a perfect crunch and the juices were a great blend of sweetness and chewiness. However, the spices on the fries felt a bit flat and lacked depth. Overall, a decent snack with bubble tea, but the seasoning could use some improvement. Place is small with a few seats, but i will say the price is perfect“

“Amazing Fresh Onigari (rice balls) & delicious teas! (Cold, Hot, Bubble, No-Bubble) Support a local Mom & Pop shop & get fresh tasty food & drinks — win win win!!! (The line outside moves, one customer/group inside at a time due to COVID, & everything is made fresh to order — your patience will be rewarded!)“

“Love coming here for bubble tea! Some of the best I’ve had in lower Manhattan. Service is quick and friendly too. Only a couple of barstools for seating so it’s more of an in-and-out kind of place. Their drinks tend to be on the sweeter end but if you let them know to make it half sweet then they turn out perfect for me.“

“The MUST-TRY Golden Mango Strawberry Pomelo!! 🥭🍓
This used to be my favorite seasonal drink, and now it’s finally available all year round! The mango is super sweet, the pomelo adds the perfect citrus kick, and the strawberry ties everything together. If you see this on the menu, you HAVE to try it!“

“The drinks are really good and well made. I usually get the mango milk tea with cheese foam and mango popping bubbles, and it’s so good!! Their brown sugar milk tea is also really good, probably one of the best I’ve had so far. And their cups are always so pretty with cute designs. Would definitely recommend!“

“Rating this 5-Stars. This new boba drink cafe is unlike any other boring same-old franchises out there. It has its own identity. You will absolutely love it once you step into the cafe. The interior decor is very warm and all filled with cute piggies everywhere once you walk in. Service was friendly and great. The entire time I was there, I witnessed both staffs working there were hands-on greeting every guests with bright smiles, preparing and making all the drinks by themselves with love. This is called great hospitality the whole nine yards👍👍👍 Definitely would come back. Best of luck!!! The following drinks are some of my favorites: Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba Mango Kumquat Lemon Green Tea Dragon Fruit Green Tea Passion Fruit Green Tea with Lychee Jelly Lychee Slush with Lychee Jelly“

“Amazing experience at Hawa Smoothies and Bubble Tea! The place is very clean, the staff are friendly and respectful, and the smoothies are fresh and incredibly delicious. One of the best juice spots in the area. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be coming back again!” 😍😍😍😍😍🤍“

“This has to be my FAVORITE boba tea shop in Staten Island! It has a great variety of boba teas to try so you can try something different every time!! My favorite has to definitely be getting the smoothies and adding popping boba. The owner is super sweet and makes the drinks always taste good when I go. The prices are good and it’s worth it since it just tastes so good!!!! If your looking for a new place to try some boba tea definitely come to Boba Le tea Cafe:) you won’t regret it 🫶🏼🫶🏼“

“masarap yung chicken nila, and mag eenjoy talaga sa mga claw machine“

“As the title says… they make great boba and fries. One thing I don’t like though is how sugary their drinks are but you can modify that. The coconut milk tea and spicy fries are so good. The staff is really sweet and it’s a nice place to hang out since it’s never too busy.“

“Got their Brown Sugar Oolong Tea with Signature Cream and Brown Sugar Earl Grey Milk Tea with Signature Cream to go. I always appreciate free milk substitutions (lactose intolerance is a lifestyle at this point). I really liked how pronounced the tea flavors were and it wasn't too sweet at the regular sugar levels either. The prices are on the lower end compared to other bubble tea spots in this area.“

“I was welcomed with a friendly smile and exceptional customer service. This was my first boba experience so I had a million questions, yet Ashley was extremely patient and helpful. Everything was delicious including their rice balls. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Good drinks. Price is good and pretty low. I like there is not too much milk in a drink so I can feel the taste of tea. Pretty girls, they asked how much sugar I want and if I need the ice. I'll visit this place more often before my job if I have time before the train.“

“it's a great place! the servers are also very nice and accommodating“
