50 Best Bubble Tea in Brooklyn

“It’s so nice to have a boba place in the neighborhood. The boba is pretty fresh from what I’ve had, and the fact that the store closes so late is a huge benefit for a night owl like me. Their selection is pretty fruit-heavy. Just be aware that the kitchen closes earlier than the store as a whole.“

“Amazing food, friendly staff two thumbs up“

“Sip N Play is a fun place to play. Our first time here today and we wanted to play games that we don't have at home and games we have not played in a long time.“

“This is one of the best Boba places I ever been too. The lady at the front first greeted me how was your day with the most kindest attitude. May god bless her. Then I got my Boba and it was filled with surprises and it was so yummy. When I left she interested me in a cheesecake. When I got i almost cried because of how good it was. Great place recommended to others.

Kid-friendliness: Said my son was cute“

“Played board games here for the first time. Good selection of games. Excellent chicken sandwich and cold-brew coffee. Reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere.“

“Love the taro ball desserts and durian desserts! So good!“

“Such a cute and tasty hidden gem . We came for a car wash and I wandered across the street to this magical little spot .
Honestly you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, everything is gonna treat you right but my personal favorite is the A6 .“

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

“Came here on a cold night after my friends wanted to play board games. My friend’s house was super far away but this place was great!

There were lots of selections and we decided to play Catan and exploding kittens. I have not tried a drink but I would next time. Workers were really nice too :)“

“Ten Ichi Mart is incredible! My mom has been coming for over a year and loves the sushi, especially the popular half off deal after 8pm. The quality speaks for itself. They also have a wide range of Japanese products that are hard to find in other markets. Their matcha is high quality and sourced from Japan. Thank you!! 🙏🏼☺️“

“The other reviews already say everything, of if i could go beyond 5 stars. I had a cold and asked if they had hot tea. The lady offered to make me a hot lemon honey tea which wasnt even on the menu and asked me if i wanted it any sweeter after my first sip. I also ordered a mochi donut and it was the most delightful thing ive ever tried. Im a cheapskate, but those 4.25 were worth every penny. Super nice people and just a calm atmosphere, can only recommend!!!“

“This was probably the most spacious and cleanest restaurant/store on 8th ave from my experience. We tried signature icy taro bowl and the hot almond soup. Loved the icy taro bowl and all the toppings on it. The chewiness balanced out the sweetness. However, I don’t recommend the hot almond soup (or anything with almond soup base). It was not good, and tasted nasty to be frank. We couldn’t even finish it. Not sure if the soup base was just almond milk but it tasted really weird.“

“Somehow one of the only bubble tea places around in dumbo which blew my mind. Nice place with a fun menu besides a classic bubble tea

How can you serve $6.50 bubble tea in ice coffee containers in NYC though? Moving the straw / cup to get some boba without thinking and im getting dripped on left and right“

“I love this location! And Gian is the absolute best, speedy service and always brings the good vibes. With all these expensive restaurants opening up in the neighborhood, it's nice to have a reliable and affordable lunch option. Plus the ingredients are always on point, good selection and always fresh.“

“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.“

“This is my new favorite takeout place! The sushi is some of the best I’ve had in Brooklyn, and the prices (especially for the dinner boxes + lunch specials) are more than reasonable.

The most recent times I’ve ordered, I’ve needed to swap out the roll in the Sushi Dinner due to a dietary restrictions. I called the restaurant and they were super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend ordering from here!“

“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“

“Service is great. Bubble tea tastes delightful & delicious. You can also choose your level of sweetness. The most important part is bubble is so chewy & fresh. They do have a lot of tea choices. I would order it again.“

“This place is great! The tea is amazing. The flavors are wonderful. The staff goes above and beyond. I couldn't leave my sleeping infant in the car to pick up my order, so Shirley was nice enough to come to my car with my order. This new mama really needed that small bit of kindness.“

“This is my go-to place for bubble tea! It's a small location and sometimes you may have to wait outside if it's crowded but the line goes by quickly. My favorite is the Strawberry milk slush with boba. I'ts so refreshing & delicious!“

“Out of all the boba places on 86th, this one's the best. All their fruit related drinks are some of the best boba tea I've had, and I also really recommend the yakult and cheese foam options as it's hard to come by in other places.“

“Tbaar is my favorite bubble tea spot across all boroughs. I order the standard milk tea (black tea base) with boba from all bubble tea places, and Tbaar holds as my favorite. It's got a little something extra with a sweet, roasted flavor and the boba itself is solid. I usually get 50% sweetness with every drink, as their fruit tea is also nice, specifically the aloe grapefruit. Lucky to have it in Park Slope.“

“This is my childhood favorite bubble tea spot. Been going here religiously since middle school!!! Love all the flavor options, and the price was super affordable ($5)

Highly recommend the regular milk tea (earl gray)

Quick service, beautiful interior to hang out with friends. Cash is preferred because the card minimum is $10.“

“if you thought the milk tea here was good (no like seriously) wait til you try the COFFEE! it is my favorite hands down to the grown and if you haven't tried it then... wyd ? like get up and go make your life a little brighter and thank me later ;) oh and not to mention the food selection is so damn wide it's amazing. I could have breakfast lunch and dinner here easily. 10/10 love the place :)“

“I like this bubble tea store. Price is cheap than other bubble tea.Because it always has promotion. They sell drink, food, and macaroon.

My favorite drink is Carmel milk tea with coffee jelly or tiramisu milk tea with bubble. They also chicken nuggets or wing or egg waffles or BBQ sausage,my favorite food in this store takoyaki and Gyoza( Japanese fried dumplings is crispy, my favorite is sea food,it also selling vegetable or chicken flavor.
And then, their worker is nice and friendly. In addition, when you waiting for your drink. You can check some phone accessories, both store sharing this area. That is good“

“Cookie and cream boba is delicious, the pearls are even flavorful. The chicken with the tonkatsu sauce is also delightful, it’s crispy and the sauce has plenty of flavor. Perfect for a light meal with a friend, especially if you are on a budget.“

“I love the rice balls most. They are very filling and so delicious. They make them fresh, so they are always warm which is fantastic, imo. I usually pick some riceballs up to munch on as I run errands in the neighborhood, but there is seating available in case you want to chill while you eat. Love this spot“

“I’ve been a frequent customer at this shop for a while and I’m always satisfied.

The drinks are very good, especially the boba pearls, since they are warm and chewy.

If you don’t feel like ordering up front, you can just pay with the self-order kiosk!

The drinks don’t take too long, and its a cozy place to have a drink.

I have many good experiences here, highly recommend!“

“I recently visited The Whale Tea and ordered a large mango slush on a hot day. The menu is fantastic and it is the perfect cozy spot to grab a delicious drink. The shop is nicely decorated, it does not have too much in terms of seating, but the owner makes great use of the space to make it feel cozy. I enjoyed the packaging for the drink, along with the boba pearls that were used which complimented the drink well. Definitely worth checking out.“

“This location doesn't just shine for its great tea but also for its wonderful staff. I come here a few times a week either before or after my climbing session and they have never disappointed me. The staff are friendly and welcoming, always happy to answer questions about flavors. 10/10 would recommend coming here, thank you for your hospitality KFT.“

“PokeBowl station is my go-to spot for fresh, delicious poke bowls! The ingredients are always high quality, and the portions are generous. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with recommendations. Their great service makes the experience even better. Highly recommend for a quick, healthy, and tasty meal!“

“Yaya Tea is always a go-to spot! The rice balls with tempura shrimp are delicious crispy, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying. Their bubble teas are consistently good too. The customer service is always excellent, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend! 🍙❤️🧋“

“Small shopfront with some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. My girlfriend got the green curry with tofu, so good- spicy, sweet, hands down amazing. The duck sounded good, and the server recommended getting it with red curry. It was so tender and crispy and the flavor was perfect. Would most definitely recommend eating here. (Also get the Thai iced tea!)“

“It’s a cute place! I appreciate that it has seating. Plus the food+ drink combo options are nice! They have a bunch of drink options, but my friend and I opted for a Brown Sugar Milk tea and a Mango Green tea. The mango green tea wasn’t what I expected! As it had a lot of mango pulp and less of the refreshing tea vibe I expected. Also my friend’s milk tea was quite diluted and mostly tasted of the milk.“

“I love the milk tea also juices and brown sugar milk tea ☕️“

“ViVi Bubble Tea always hits the spot with their wide variety of refreshing drinks. The fruit teas are flavorful without being overly sweet, especially if you customize the sugar level. Their Peach Aloe Green Tea and Lychee Oolong are personal favorites — light, clean, and perfect for summer. The staff is quick and friendly, and orders are made consistently well. Great spot for a casual treat without feeling too heavy.“

“I love this place. Their sushi is so delicious but also so inexpensive at the same time. They don’t skimp out on their sizes of rolls or the fish. I wish I lived closer bc I definitely would go more often! They don’t have a lot of seating so it’s more of a take out place.“

“The most creative, beautiful and delicious cakes EVER! You will not be disappointed - I promise! Since discovering JM, I will drive 2 1/2 hours to get a cake for special occasions..I’ve been doing this for 4 years and never disappointed Gorgeous cake designs and exotic fillings - truly appreciated by everyone. Whenever I bring 1 or even 3 cakes (each with a different theme) - the crowd is in awe and the recipients never want to cut it because the cakes are honestly that beautiful and everyone is in awe. Crystal is an absolute gem and sooooo helpful with every order. I simply love her (happy birthday again Crystal) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Went here on a rainy day with a hangover looking for a good soup.
I had the pork pho bo which was amazing. Also had the shrimp rolls.
Overall excelent experience. Good food served by good people.
I will surely come back here again👍“

“I came today because I’ve never had any kind of Boba before. I allowed them to recommend a drink for me. I went with a medium Passionfruit Green tea, 50% sugar, light ice, and star jelly. The combination of passionfruit and green tea was amazing, refreshing and delicious. Nothing was overpowering. The level of ice and sugar I chose was the right amount🙌🏽🙌🏽. The star jelly was my favorite. It wasn’t too sweet or anything. Honestly it was the best thing I’ve ever had. I will try again. It was $6 but with taxes it was $7. Not that bad. I recommend 🩷“

“A must-try milk tea from this restaurant when you go to Brook! ! It really doesn’t make any mistakes! ! I really like them all! ! Special fruit tea series, traffic light! Strawberry nectar! Yangzhi nectar! Durian nectar! Taozhiyaoyao! Succulent grapes! All are super delicious! !“

“The bubble teas here are good but every time I come here and order the smores milk tea WITH BUBBLES they always forget to add bubbles. i love my bubbles and theyre only like 30 cents to add it so i won’t make a fuss haha. please i just want my bubbles next time ??“

“I tried Gong Cha’s milk tea and it definitely lived up to the hype! The tea is rich and freshly brewed, perfectly balanced with just the right level of sweetness. The pearls are chewy and soft—cooked to perfection. What I really love is that they let you customize the sugar and ice level, so you get exactly what you want. Definitely one of the best milk tea spots if you’re craving something refreshing and satisfying!“

“With so many great coffee shops around, this one is my favorite. Cozy with soft music and local kid art on the walls. Great coffee and service. There is a small step to get in and gets hard with a stroller, someone always runs over to offer help. Absolutely adore this place“

“Firstly, I believe Kung Fu Tea is one of the best of the chain bubble tea houses. Secondly, THIS is my favorite location. The staff is super pleasant, and the drinks come out great every time -- that's what's important. I look forward to continuing my patronage.“

“Vely goot“

“Great quick service. Get the passion fruit bubble tea.“

“Worth the hype!! I used to always go to the location in Manhattan but it is almost always packed there. This location is a little better but still busy. Quality has stayed the same after all these years and I find myself coming back every few weeks or so to treat myself LOL!“

“Sweet, salty, and delicious 🧋✨

Of course when we went to visit we tried Vivi’s signature drinks; like their sweet and chewy mango sago drink and their refreshing fruit tea. But what I thought was the highlight of our trip was their curry flavoured Taiwanese popcorn chicken. It was tender and delicate and the subtle curry flavour and saltiness was so tasty.“

“Happened to be nearby this place and was in the mood for a smoothie… saw this place had good reviews online and WOW IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The Mango Passion Fruit Lychee smoothie was incredible, one of the top smoothies I’ve had in my life 10/10 would come back and get it again“
