50 Best Bubble Tea in New York

“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.“

“Maple sugar tea packed w gingerm“

“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.“

“This is some of the highest quality tea I have ever had . They use hi quality tea leaves and fresh fruit that are custom made to order. So each drink is tasty and refreshing. The boba is the perfect chew and the various Jellies all have a unique and delicious flavor from sweet to sour.
I love how they offer the NO SUGAR option if you want to be healthier but still enjoy fresh bubble tea.
I was happy to get a full menu explanation of the different teas , jellies, and options from the sweet and very knowledgeable Emily at the order kiosk.
She has a great smile and energy that made me feel right at home. So I will see you all there next Saturday for some of the greatest boba in NYC!“

“My years of restaurant visits finally led to this perfect meal. Beautiful space matched with genuinely friendly staff. They served good food with attentive service. All team members display pleasant attitudes. We'll definitely bring the family back here.“

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

“After picking up shrimp rice rolls, conveniently went to the corner to pick up bubble tea. Clean, cozy & warm inside. I went for the cold coconut bubble tea. Menus are extensive and service was quick & friendly. Coconut flavor was delicious.“

“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.“

“Her boba has delicious coffee! My boyfriend and I come here all the time for a nice coffee treat ❤️ It is a small and cute cafe, and very relaxing. Definitely a gem of a coffee place for this area. Today I got the warm brown sugar latte since it was freezing outside., but I’ve also had the pb&j latte and it was delicious. My boyfriend got the tiramisu latte. The workers are very nice they also give my dog a pup cup and try their hardest to make she we are taken care of.“

“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!“

“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!)“

“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.“

“it's a great place! the servers are also very nice and accommodating“

“I got to know about this brand of pearl milk tea from the sharing of Taiwan YouTubers, I never thought I could enjoy it in New York. A Taiwanese friend of mine told me that she is a bubble tea lover. After trying it, I fell in love with it. 😍“

“I went to Mogee Tea and ordered a brown sugar bubble milk tea, and it was already amazing. Then I accidentally spilled it (totally my fault), but the staff were incredibly kind about it. They immediately helped clean it up and even made me a brand-new drink for free. No attitude, no hesitation—just pure kindness and great service. The boba was 11/10, and the experience somehow made it even better. Truly the best boba spot.“

“Delicious bubble tea and very friendly service 🤗“

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

“they workers are super sweet!! great costumer service“

“The tea is amazing and refreshing. I got the dong ding oolong tea with fresh milk and grass jelly. The tea is great and not too strong, but not too weak either. The grass jelly was the perfect amount of sweet. I would definitely recommend this place to whoever likes boba places.“

“Maybe it’s just my taste but I wouldn’t not recommend to try the oolong latte as your first ever unless you tried it and absolutely loved it. Could not finish it 🥲 I wont give them a terrible review based on 1 drink. Just fyi because mindful of what you order ☺️
The shop is nice and they hand out the stuff quite fast so that’s okay.“

“Solid spot for bubble tea in the city near Columbia's campus. On this day, I ordered a frozen matcha drink. Quick and friendly service. Drink was good and satisfied a craving but certainly wasn't the best matcha drink I've had.
Would definitely come back for different drinks.“

“Muy delicioso 😋 me encantaría que esté en mi país Ecuador“

“THIS PLACE SLAYS, you heard me this is the best boba shop I’ve ever been to so far and I ordered a medium wintermelon with star pink jelly boba FOR ONLY $7.08 🤯❤️‼️ AND THEY TOOK LESS THAN 4 MINUTES TO FINISH MAKING MY BOBA 😍❤️😭 and the place looked very clean and very demur, sorry yall I’m a genz.“

“They always recognize what I like to eat just by seeing me, make everything delicious, i love Hot black Milk Tea and are consistently kind — I feel good every time I stop by. It’s also super convenient because I can quickly grab something on my way to work“

“the bubble tea is amazing and they are really nice.“

“Muy delicioso 😋 me encantaría que esté en mi país Ecuador“

“I love the atmosphere more than anything else cozy private good food. The lemonade was absolutely delicious. Will definitely go back.“

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

“I got to know about this brand of pearl milk tea from the sharing of Taiwan YouTubers, I never thought I could enjoy it in New York. A Taiwanese friend of mine told me that she is a bubble tea lover. After trying it, I fell in love with it. 😍“

“BEST brown sugar boba tea I’ve ever had in my life—and I’ve had a LOT of them. Place was clean and felt contemporary and the staff were very pleasant. The boba balls were absolutely delicious and felt soft and fresh and tender, unlike the hard and somewhat frozen ones other stores and franchises frequent. I’ve come to this place anytime I’m around Astor and they never fail to disappoint. You can also see where they keep their boba, adding to the guaranteed fresh quality. The drink itself is also incredibly yummy and I love the caramelized sugar they add on the top. Great place!“

“Our food was outstanding. We ordered takeout and ended up choosing the wrong location. They actually brought our food over to the restaurant we were waiting at despite our error. This was above and beyond and much appreciated. We will definitely go back.“

“great tea, friendly people & atmosphere!“

“Genuinely the highlight of a three day Midtown vacation. We stayed at the hotel across the street and ended up spending more at CoCo than any other restaurant in the city because every single trip outside ended with a cheeky boba tea on the way back.

Good drinks, incredibly friendly staff, couldn't have asked for anything better“

“The taro boba is 🔥 my beast friend and I casually walked from Williamsburg to Tea Art and it was absolutely amazing. I had the Taro, she had the green tea with lychee jelly, both were great with no artificial tastes. Definitely recommend“

“Mochi Dolci is one of my favorite places in the UWS. It's a family-owned business that TRULY CARES about the people that walk in for food, drinks, and hanging out. I love many of their #mochidonuts - classics like black sesame and taro but I love their playful ones such as fruity pebbles. Other dishes are good to such as their pork belly bao, mango salad, and dumplings. Of course, their #milktea and #bobatea are delicious. I recently tried their matcha milk tea with strawberry popping boba. Their place is cozy and welcoming. They have a speakeasy too - I have not been, but they were kind to let me explore it (with their permission). I look forward to come back for drinks and food with friends! Easily 5 stars and ABOVE! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩“

“Expensive for a place without a bathroom or nice seating, but drinks are delicious. If you don’t care about price, then taste wise is a 5/5 stars. Unique drinks and overwhelming large menu. We got the coconut boom and hojicha latte and both were delicious, I really loved the hojicha latte as it had a very rich flavor similar to melted hojicha ice cream, and it’s not nearly as common of an offering as matcha latte is.“

“Fantastic selection of tea. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff!“

“PHENOMENAL boba. Literally perfect!!! The Mango coconut cloud was sooooo delicious. They have popping boba, coconut lychee, tapioca, tons of teas & slushies. Huge variety and great sizes / value for money. Drinks come w two free toppings“

“What a wonderful gem in terms of love for the work and the product. Very small and manageable, you almost walk past, a good friend who lives on 71st Street took me "just there".They knew him there, he was a regular customer and so I was able to enjoy something that went far beyond a normal smoothie... just something really successful and tasty that I would want to order again at any time.Don't ask me what I got there... but it was great and I'm very sure that pretty much everything else you can get there is absolutely worth trying.“

“My girlfriend and I got two orders of popcorn chicken, one spicy and the other I can't remember. The portions were huge for the price, we could barely finish them honestly. Excellent and dynamic flavor on both orders! I will stop by again for sure! I can't comment on the bubble tea at this time but I want to try that next time.“

“I love the fact that this bubble tea shop has food their shrimp tempura is so flaky and delicious. The biggest thing is I only like poppable bubble tea and Viva bubble always has poppable. You don't know how many times I went to a bubble tea shop asked poppable they don't have it so I walk out.“

“Love gongcha! I got 0% sugar strawberry milk tea and my husband got 0% sugar taro milk tea. I love their holiday gingerbread bottle seasonal drink. The cutest bottle with amazing taste drinks! Two ladies who worked today were super nice and courteous as well!“

“Stopped by and had a strawberry green tea. Best of luck, guys.“

“The basil popcorn chicken is amazing The honey bubble tea just off the hook gotta go again“

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

“Best shaved ice - please order xoxo“

“A vibrant juice bar and healthy drink spot in Manhattan with fresh, handcrafted beverages & snacks
I’m so OBSESSED with their real-fruit freshness 🍊🍎🍌🥥

Let’s start with Açaí Bowls, are blended with organic açaí and served with yummy toppings. If you’re looking for something chocolaty yet still healthy - 🍫 Choco Bliss is your next destination.

I’m so satisfied with their Superfood Smoothies “Matcha Muse” slightly creamy, energizing, and rich in antioxidants 🍵 BUT “ Blue Formula” brings it to the next level with healthy fats.

Morning needs a unique coffee drinks ❓Pistachio Latte, espresso with milk, topped with pistachio cloud foam and chopped pistachios, absolutely is a fun special drink with extra flavor & texture.

Juicy cube has a big variety for different needs, super easy to find something whether you want healthy, protein-packed or treat-like. 💪 Health-focused but still tasty 😋“

“Cute little tea spot! I did wait a bit, but that's only because they needed to make fresh boba for my order. They even double-checked with me to make sure the short wait was ok before finalizing the order. Kudos to them because I've had a surprise wait of 20+ minutes after placing an order.“

“Every morning before I go to work, I stop here to eat breakfast before a long and stressful work day. The staff in the morning are just so welcoming, and they also always nail it with the dan-tats (egg tarts). The egg tarts are always fresh and flakey like a croissant. I would recommend Daronghua to anyone, anytime of the day whenever they're in the mood for a sweet treat.“
