Tiger Sugar is more known for their brown sugar boba drink, and I love those. But I came here to today because I’m such a cream puff lover and I had to try their new bakery selection.
Not sure if because I came later in the day but this branch didn’t have the croissants that I also would love to try. I was able to get an order of cream puffs and an eclair. There was a 3 puff and free Oolong promo so I hopped on that.
The young man who took my order was very friendly, polite and helpful. There was only one other group in the store, it looks like there’s seating now, even if the space has decreased from the last time I came in.
I like the flavor of the oolong tea, maybe a bit too much sugar for me. The eclair and cream puff shells are super crispy, I love it! The cream (vanilla) is also right up my alley. The chocolate filling I might pass on next time. Nothing wrong with it, I guess I just don’t care for it. My eclair shell was a bit on the toasty side where it has an almost burnt taste. Not a total deal breaker, just putting it out there.
Anyway, I’m so glad there’s cream puffs so close by now. I love this texture of cream puff! I hope I get to try the strawberry cream croissant next time because that’s my favorite combination.

I'm surprised by the low reviews for Tiger Sugar because I had no issues with the amount of ice, the portion of toppings, or the quality of the drink. The coffee is my favorite—strong and flavorful. I’d recommend going for less sugar and lactose-free milk to really enjoy the taste.
Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely come back.

The taste of the drinks are pretty consistent. It is a little expensive but the price point is comparable to other shops on 86st. I order online when I’m 2/3 blocks away and when I arrive my order is always done.

I have never felt so disappointed about Tiger Sugar as this much. I ordered taro bubble tea also updated to XL cup and of course it will be more “charge”. But what i got more for my drink are milk and ice??? I don’t understand is boba or toppings that much expensive?? And my drink tastes totally like milk and non flavor of taro which is so shameful. Please don’t advertising that much for kept customer disappointed :)!

Convenient location on corner. Small stall with 1 staff taking order and churning out the drinks.
Very slow and inefficient service for such a big chain franchise.
I was taking pictures and was told not allowed. I even mentioned I’m a google reviewer and it would be good marketing.
The person explicitly said NO in a rude manner. I’m actually afraid they may put something else in my drink. My order was 108 and somehow he called out 109 multiple times.
Unlikely to return here again. ??

I ordered an XL drink and received half a cup of ice. It was gone in a few sips.

I asked for less ice, but he gave me a lot of ice and then when my dad asked about it then said it was 40%+ ice/water and when my dad asks who the owner is they said “I don’t know”. Beware you’re paying $7.50 for a half cup of ice.
It’s a very small store, there’s a self order kiosk and you can order at the window. Drinks were still sweet despite stating to be made with less sugar, requested for lactose free milk however I don’t believe they made it with LF Milk because my mother and i’s stomach was hurting after.Shame, don’t think it lived up to their hype.

NOVEMBER UPDATE: Ordered the signature boba drink and it tasted like sweetened milk with flavorless boba. It was acceptable but far below my expectations. My last visit was way better.
JULY: The place is kind of small and can be easily crowded when busy. Ordered the matcha drink and the strawberry mochi today ranging from 6-8 dollars per cup. The drinks are really good and not too sweet, and also contains a good amount of boba. The only downside to that is the amount of ice, which takes up half of the cup.

I visited here because of Hello Kitty. I couldn't resist getting the cup. It looks so cuteI ordered a Black Sugar Boba through the self-order kiosk, and it was quite enjoyable. It is a convenient and fast option, allowing me to avoid waiting in line while still giving me the time to carefully review the menu or quickly place my order, especially during busy periods.
