“I just saw their matcha series drinks and had to try them out!!! Got the mango matcha cream (less ice, 50% sugar with boba topping) and let me tell you I LOVE IT!!! Well balanced flavor, matcha or mango was not overpowering. Found a great drink after a while.“

“The absolute PERFECT place for a sweet treat! Ever since this place has opened they have been my go to when my sweet cravings come on! Their menu is always made well and the staff are kind and polite. I personally always go crawling back to their tornado crepe and chocolate milkshakes. 😋😋“

“Max Bakery and Restaurant is a popular Chinese eatery located in Jackson Heights, Queens, NY. This is a great coffee and breakfast spot, grab to go, only cash. Also they make amazing chinese style teas and breads. But the best is there sandwiches. The make 3 amazing sandwiches and there best is there Fish which is out of this world.“

“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.“

“Everything we ordered was delicious. The chicken over rice was really good; not too heavy but still very fragrant. The drinks were also surprisingly good. Tangwhan was excellent throughout the entire meal, providing excellent service from start to finish.“

“my favorite beverage shop ever!! incredible quality, fast service, organized, clean, beautiful interior, and amazingly convenient design of the cups. very pleasant place to sit down, and enjoy your drink. i’ve lost count on how many times i have come back here. though it is on pricier side“

“Maple sugar tea packed w gingerm“

“Today I crave for Iddy’s cafe and I noticed to try something new. The Chicken Katsu and my boyfriend had the Oxtail meal, so far the Chicken Katsu is one of my favorite meals (besides the oxtail empanadas lol) would recommend more people to try it and explore their other foods. I heard the owner plan more foods to come on the way so I am looking forward to it“

“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😊.“

“Huge selection of board games. Catan, Wingspan, Coup, Heat, Betrayal, Exploding Kittens to name a few of my favorites that I saw. Shout out to Aron for suggesting some new stuff and chatting with me about pokemon he knows his stuff, super friendly! Also alot of tgc being magic and Pokemon alot of the new sets too. Good vibes and energy here.“

“Everything I tried here was amazing but DEFINITELY get the passion fruit jasmine tea no sweetener and add brown sugar boba! I’m not in New York anymore and I can’t get it but I think about it daily and miss it very much!😔“

“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.“

“Delicious dumplings. They're so good. Also, I recommend the garlicky cucumbers for a light & tasty appetizer. Very clean, cozy, polite staff. 5 stars for sure.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Bubble tea was delicious, ordering was a little confusing - I used the self-order screen but there was no one at the counter to complete the transaction.
It's a small store so I waited outside and walked around for ~10-15 minutes, went back in, and was finally attended to. Not sure why the other worker didn't help me out or give me any indication what was going on, pretty sure other customers that came after me got their drinks.
Kind of annoying but at least the Asian guy was attentive and competent and like I said the tea was delicious. I'd go back again.
Also, they charge a small fee for cards so bring some cash.“

“yeah sure the boba is fine and fun but at this specific location it’s always the KINDEST STAFF IN THE WORLD i adore them. i don’t come here often but they remember my order and they are so sweet to my friends and I when we come here nobody say antsy thing mean about them they are my kindness support staff!!!“

“Fresh and homemade Chinese food. An amazing cheff, cooking with passion and love. Highly recommended 💯“

“I ordered the Taro Latte and 2 onigiri (spam and grilled eel). I love the Taro Latte, and will be ordering it again. The spam onigiri was okay, but the grilled eel onigiri was everything. I will definitely order the eel one again. I will definitely come back to this place.“

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

“The staff spoke little English. My wife asked a question while ordering at the kiosk, the staff spoke to each other but did not acknowledge us. I then went up to someone and asked again the exact same question about an item we wanted to order not available on the kiosk, he just stared at me and ignored me while preparing other orders.
They were busy but this establishment is mainly for Asian customers.

Our food items were good. The mango drink was very good, and the pastel de nata was made well and fresh.

I do not know if I would come back if met with such a poor customer service experience.“

“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.“

“Hello everyone,
From classic milk teas to fruit teas and creative seasonal specials, this place truly has it all. I ordered the brown sugar milk tea with tapioca, and it was perfect — the boba was fresh, and you can tell they really care about quality here. 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.“

“Absolutely loved this place. The drinks taste fresh, the boba has the perfect texture, and you can tell they actually care about quality. Staff was friendly, the shop was clean, and the vibe was cozy. Definitely one of the best boba spots around. I’ll 100% be coming back“

“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.“

“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.“

“They have great food. I always ordered online but with ordering from grubhub comes an annoying issue which is that they have their own delivery person and with that i can’t track the delivery and the store never respond to the calls i make to ask about the order.
Update: they finally responded.“

“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“

“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!)“

“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 place serves you haigh Quality Matcha drinks and Boba.

My Favorite is the strawberry Marcha with Coffee Jelly. I love that you can customize the sugar levels. Alsooo the fries! Is soooo good! I always bring my friends here for a treat.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“i tried the mango milk and my gf had matcha milk. we also got nuggets, mozzi sticks, fries and i think my gf got a eel onigiri. i cant speak for the onigiri cause i didnt try it but all of the food was hot and crispy and honestly the nuggets gave better mcd nuggets. and it was all pretty affordable. we got all that for under 35$ if i remember correctly. the drinks were sweet and creamy but a good price for the size.“

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

“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“

“Absolutely outstanding ice cream! Nice inside, plenty of space and the cakes and chocolates looked lovely, too.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!” 😍😍😍😍😍🤍“

“The two girls working there were really friendly and had such great attitudes, which made the whole experience even better. One of them recommended the new peanut butter froyo flavor, and I’m so glad she did because it was honestly so good. You can tell they actually care about customers. Definitely the best experience I’ve had there so far!“
