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.“

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

“I’ve been coming to this place since their grand opening. The food is always so good! And the drinks are really nice and pretty and the staff is always really understanding. A go to spot for me. They also close really late so I can always come for a late night craving.“

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

“This Banh Mi place is one of my favorites. I love their new braised beef sandwich. The bread is crispy, and the sandwich is fresh and hot with a good amount of meat. I also love the refreshing boba teas here. I tried many Banh Mi sandwich places before choosing this as my regular.“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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!! 🙏🏼☺️“

“We looove this place and stop by almost every day for teas and food, it’s ridiculous! Everything is so tasty, and I could literally drink the rose lychee tea every day — it’s so good. All of the teas are incredibly flavorful. The sweetest people work there too!“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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“

“Delicious! Ordered a strawberry matcha latte, a strawberry bingsoo, and a seasonal pick-- yakgwa bingsoo. It was so busy today but I didn't have a long wait after making my order. Very cute decor, decent seating; definitely will come back to try more drinks.“

“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 .“

“Small store front that serves delicious bubble tea 🧋 and rice balls. They use all natural real ingredients for their teas (no powders). They also have non dairy milk options for teas including lactaid and soy milk. It was cold so we ordered the hot jasmine green milk tea with soy and boba. Very delicious. Also the rice balls 🍙 are made to order so you it was a awesome snack for the cold weather!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went looking for sushi in the neighborhood and stumbled on this place.

Small unassuming shop with a few seats.

We (2) ordered three rolls (eel avocado / shrimp tempura/ spicy salmon) and the chirashi.

Everything came out presented very nicely - see photos

I was very impressed with both the quantity of food and the quality of the fish. Everything was very fresh.

The only thing I did not like was that the spicy salmon roll and these small crispy bits in them. This is likely a personal preference but I would maybe ask to have them prepare it without next time.

Price / value on this place is excellent.

We will be back and already recommended to friends“

“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!“

“Just visited the new Gong Cha at 1414 Sheepshead Bay Road and it’s already my new go-to spot! The store is clean, modern, and welcoming. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha with almond milk and pearls (pictured) — and it was absolutely delicious. The layers of fresh strawberry, creamy almond milk, chewy pearls, and smooth matcha on top blended perfectly.

The staff were friendly, quick, and made sure everything came out just right. You can really taste the freshness and quality in their drinks. It’s such a nice addition to the neighborhood, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu.

Highly recommend this location if you’re in Sheepshead Bay!“

“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 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.“

“There doesn't come a day when I fail making my ascension to mount Olympus to drink the Nectar that is Gongcha's Pearl Milk Tea. Oh! There are other branches, but the vendors at Foster ave must have gained possession of a sacred fire; The pearls are cooked just right! The humors are balanced, and the day is blessed.“

“really enjoyed my visit here! The Indonesian food was delicious full of authentic flavors that reminded me of home. My favorite dish was definitely the satay, it was perfectly grilled and served with amazing peanut sauce. The service was also really nice and welcoming, everyone was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place if you’re craving real Indonesian food! 🇮🇩✨“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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“

“What a lovely spot, the woman at the counter was super friendly too and the chimis were the best I’ve had if I’m being honest, very well seasoned, me and my gf split a chicken and steak chimi, steak was my fav I’ll for sure be coming back :)“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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! 🍙❤️🧋“

“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.“

“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!“

“The cafe is always clean. The interior is very cute and minimalistic.

It's one of my daughter's favorite places!
She loves everything from their menu, I'm more picky. But it's good
Especially their onion rings?? and popcorn chicken
And last our visit, they gave us a new cool lunch bag. It was so nice of them“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Möge Tee Williamsburg is such a great spot! I tried their iced tea and it was super refreshing, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. The tea had a really smooth flavor and tasted very fresh. The shop itself is bright and modern, and the staff were friendly and quick. Definitely one of my go-to places for a quality iced tea in Brooklyn!”“

“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! !“

“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 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 🩷“

“I am a native SF Bay Area woman with specific needs - and Banh Mi Place hits. Over the last 4+ years, I consistently enjoy the classic and braised beef as well as a grilled pork sparingly. Their summer rolls are filling and the peanut sauce is close to perfect.

I don’t often order pho from here, however I will pick up a side of broth almost every time I order.

Staff is attentive, communicative, and sweet.“

“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.“

“Best coffee I have ever had and their chocolate chip cookie is amazing!!!“

“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!“

“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!)“

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