They spice the tapioca! It's tasty even when there's no drink left. It tastes like a masala chai black tea spice mix. Super

had the banana milk boba and it was delicious! the inside is small so you’ll have to take it to go but the service was great and prices aren’t bad.

Great location for an afternoon pick me up after shopping in SoHo! The store itself is on the smaller side with no seating. The store was very cleans and service was fast and friendly. The drinks are a bit on the pricier side and can be sweet. Make sure that you adjust your sweetness and sign up for rewards to get the most out of each drink experience. Would come back anytime I am in SoHo!

I came here on the recommendation of a friend to try their strawberry matcha latte. I was not disappointed. The fruity strawberry flavour and the earthy matcha flavour went together very well. It reminded me of the Royal Number 9 Tea from the Alley. The boba is also very chewy and soft. Overall, a knock-out!One thing to note is that there is no formal seating--only a slim bench to sit on while waiting for your drinks.

Super friendly service, and delicious strawberry jasmine boba tea!
I recall having boba guys a while back when they first opened in nyc but it's been a while since I've gone back. This time I came back because I saw their seasonal drinks and really wanted to try them! I ordered the ube latte with boba and the pandan caramel matcha latte with boba. The drinks are a bit pricey at boba guys and both came out to be around $17. The taste of the drinks were great but the boba topping was so disappointing. The boba was a bit too hard and pretty tasteless. I had higher expectations for boba guys and was so sad that the boba was just not good which ruined the overall drink. My pandan drink cup was also super sticky and made my hands all sticky. This shop is quite small so other than a small bench there is no additional seating. If you're looking for a sit down cafe I wouldn't recommend this spot as it's set up to be more like a to-go spot.

As a lifetime boba enthusiast, the Boba Guys have the best quality boba in the city. Since the rising popularity of bubble tea in general, most places have drinks that are powdery, too sweet, and can never get their boba right (they’re always undercooked, overcooked, or taste like absolutely nothing). I feel that overall we’ve lost the authentic taste of bubble tea made with real tea leaves, quality ingredients, and the focus on perfecting the boba that was such a staple from my childhood. But anything and everything I get from Boba Guys exceeds my expectations and I can finally say I’ve found boba that I truly enjoy again. Their classic drinks never miss, and their seasonal specials are always creative and delicious. Anyone who asks me where to go for bubble I always direct them here, even my family members who live on the west coast always make Boba Guys a necessary stop in their trips here. I’m a little sad they have less locations now but I don’t mind commuting for this. Hopefully we can see some more open soon and maybe even in queens!

I'm not a boba fanatic, but I definitely can spot a good place when I try one! I've had boba guys in LA and in NYC and I think it's one of the better quality boba places in the city. I usually order one of the seasonal specials or go with a classic milk tea. It tends the hit the spot when you really need a boba fix. I think they could land on the sweeter side compared to some other shops, but that can be adjusted. This location is more of a grab and go place since there isn't much seating, but you could walk around SoHo and enjoy the walk while drinking something.

Good! It used to be the hype for boba in NY - not sure what happened. Still good, but I remember it was better, especially for matcha.
they probably serve
