“My friend and I came here, it was a very nice place.I ordered the matcha with cheese foam.My friend ordered coconut milk with mango pudding，both of them were good，The refreshing taste is very suitable for summer. There are many choies, strongly recommend this place, we will definitely come back!“
“We go here regularly & we’re always amazed of how fresh their products are! You could actually taste the freshness of the mango & other flavors! Me & my kids loved to order the mango, pomelo, sago & mango ice cream! One of the best!“
“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 tried the Wintermelon Milk w/ Boba and the Peach Yakult w/ Lychee Jelly (as provided on the Staff Reccs Menu) and they were both amazing— Personally like the Wintermelon one more because I wanted something with milk but both were great.The staff were exceptional and overheard that my girlfiend and I had never really tried Wintermelon before, and they jumped to give us a sample of the tea. First off, amazing to see that there were no added sugars and that all the components of their drinks were individually perfected.We ended up ordering and got our drinks pretty quickly, but while we waited one of the staff members offered us a sample of their pudding topping. It was great to try and extremely kind of the staff to offer, especially because there was no incentive for them to do so as we had already ordered.You can tell that the staff really care about making a great business. They haven’t been open for too long, and I hope they receive lots of support so I can go back and try more of the drinks they have to offer.In terms of seating, they don’t offer any, but you can easily walk around the area and find some or walk while drinking.You can also get a stamp card to get a discount on your tenth return!TLDR: Amazing drinks, not too sweet, very refreshing. A great pick me up. Relatively not the cheapest but it’s some of the best you’re getting, especially in Manhattan. Definitely something to try. Staff are amazing and will let you try samples.Kid-friendliness: Amazing Environment“
“This place is amazing! I’ve been here many times with my family and friend and honestly, I had a blast every time I came here! The fee to play is very affordable and their wide selection of games can never leave me feeling bored! Their boba tea is really good and really cute!! My friend and I came here and I can’t help but die of laughter being here! The atmosphere is very warm and nice and the interior design is just so cute! Would come again and play some more!“
“Yum yum yummm. As a Taiwanese person, I loveeee the basil mayo sauce with the large popcorn chicken. It’s a total delight after a long workout at the climbing gym too. I also reccomend the ru rou fan (marinated pork) on a bed of rice a with half an egg and scallions“
“Went to Pata Cafe for lunch in Elmhurst, Queens, NY. Looking for authentic Thai? You'll find dishes here that are hard to find in the ??. NY Times and Michelin recommended for casual authentic Thai fare.Had Thai Lychee tea and Yum Woon Sen. Sweet and complex flavor for the tea. Spicy, tangy, earthy, and herby flavors for the dish. Too full for dessert! The wife had the beef soup.Only seats 12 people max. Cash or Venmo only. Lots of free street parking on a Saturday. Can't wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: Most dishes dairy freeParking: Found parking right in front immediately on a Saturday for lunch“
“Superb beef noodle soup. Delicious broth and extremely tasty beef. I'm addicted and the best thing is it's just as good if you order it for delivery, because they separate the noodles and the vegetables from the broth, so that when you combine them it is hot and fresh as if it just came out of the kitchen.“
“I work 12 hour shifts near here and I’m always soooo tired halfway through. I come here for a quick pick me up. The lady behind the counter is the absolute sweetest, drinks aside- she always lightens my mood. The açaí bowls are to die for- not mid. I’ve tried so many spots in Astoria and Vela is consistently yummy. Today. I went in for a milk tea and they ran out of boba. She went an extra mile to charge me for a medium despite me ordering a large! Soooo sweet. ??“
“Top mochi doughnuts, with beautiful texture and flavor, our favorite was the ube (not too sweet hehe) and the taro boba oat milk latte was so good i ordered a second one. Nice clean spot to hang out and have a sweet treat.Super appreciate the non dairy options too as lactose and i are currently frenemies.“
“OOPS TEA IS THE BEST IN BUSHWICK!!!!! staff is so friendly, attentive, and overall amazing! the tofu pockets are UNREAL and you can tell they’re made with love <3 not to mention the bubble tea is so amazing and refreshing. also the ambience and decorations are SO cute. definitely recommend! ?????“
“I absolutely love this place and then I walked in. The guy behind the counter was very helpful and very knowledgeable, and each Tea that they produce. I was so surprised as to how many options they have in the store. I ordered the raspberry tea with Boba. Thank you for your help and the experience that I deserved . I am absolutely grateful and I will be coming back a lot often“
“I stopped by because the posters on the outside drew me in. It's a small and cutely decorated boba and ice cream shop. There was only 1 person working at the time but I didn't have to wait too long for my food. Since it's small, there are not many places to sit, so most people do to-go orders. I ordered an item from each category: * Grapefruit Green Tea Boba - 9/10 - I liked the grapefruit pulp that was mixed into the boba, because of the different textures. The 50% sugar was the perfect amount of sweetness. * Almond Chocolate Croffle - 7/10 - The croffle tasted a bit stale and it was cold, so I don't think they make it fresh. But, I did like the toppings. * Lychee Rose Ice Cream - 8/10 - I liked the small pieces of lychee throughout the ice cream and the rose flavor was not overbearing. Overall, I would come again to try the boba floats. I think they shine more for their drinks than anything else.“
“Honestly the best boba in bay ridge with the best service. We got their signature taro root and the strawberry milk. Both was delicious.Their customer service is also top notch, replacing a drink after dropping it and exploding in the store. Their immediate response and reply was great.Atmosphere is also super fun with board games and other things to do. The space is large enough to not feel cramped and Their decor is super inviting and attractive !“
“It's a cozy, atmospheric place. The service is great and pleasant. Very welcoming vibe and cozy place to sit and enjoy. Staffs are polite and doesn't feel rushed like other places. Thai food is always a healthy and great selection of bubble tea.Kid-friendliness: Ambiance is playful with comfortable lighting and seating.“
“They were nice, I found it cuz I was getting a facial not too far from here & just happened to find it. I wanted to try something different so I tried the mango milk tea & it was good. There were people that came in after me & everyone ordered the waffles. I wasn't in the mood for waffles but I asked if it was good, they said it's really good. I saw a connect 4 & some books so I'm assuming you can sit and enjoy while playing or reading. When I go back I'll try the waffles.“

“It’s downstairs in the market. It’s tight with no seating just for them but some in the open area. But it’s very crowded on a weekend. Just ordered one and it was ready fast. Checked in on yelp for 10% off.I got the classic with signature cream half sweet. Usually I am good with half sweet but for this one the tea flavor is a little strong so maybe I should have gotten 75% sweet. Still good though. They tell you to shake it up. They just call out the drinks. Not your name or a number. If they are making them fast enough, they shouldn’t have any mix ups.I do like they will sub your milk without additional fee.“
“Delicious! Stumbled upon this place when I was searching for a quick bite. I ordered delivery and the food came very quickly. I was pleasantly surprised how big and hefty the bowls were! We got the bulgogi rice bowl and a make your own bowl with fried chicken. Both had generous heaping portions of meat. I would say my appetite is fairly large and I couldn't even finish half of my bowl! The bulgogi was tender and juicy, and the vegetables that came with my bowl were delicious. The make your own bowl was also phenomenal! The cucumber kimchi and pickled turnips were some of my favorites. Definitely adding this place to my regular rotation of meals and I can't wait to have it again!“
“the entire staff is so friendly and amazing. Full of smiles and just an overall great experience. I was fortunate enough to meet Cindy (the owner) who is an intelligent, funny, and amazing person. Stop by chinatown and try the delicious eel with purple rice with some farm fresh mango bubble tea“
“I ordered to go. Food took about 15~ mins. We ordered the spicy chicken, which tbh wasnt spicy. We ordered 40 wings, and was given 2 spicy packs. Which def wasn't enough. The spicy packs made the chicken taste a lot better, would def ask for more in the future.“
“Tea is great. Kenny will work with you to customize a drink, or make something you dream up, but do yourself a favor and try something from their imaginative and thought-through signature menu.Kenny is a real one. Service with a smile and chill conversation. A natural part of the neighborhood, this place will one day be a local fixture.Beautiful, clean, aesthetic atmosphere in this little space in Chinatown. Nice place to sit and relax on a rainy day or catch some shade and a cool drink in the dog days of summer.“
“This place has it all. Great food, amazing selection of coffee, great service and atmosphere.Whether you come here to work or just spend some time the vide is there. Seating is available for the most part but sometimes it gets crowded. Also, good options for seating if someone prefers to chill on armchair next to the heater and just read something.Just a side note, the coffee can be improved a little compared to what other nearby places offer.Vegetarian options: A lot of vegetarian options to choose from.“
“This is THE smoothie place to go - hands down!I’ve been to at least 10 smoothie places in NYC (primarily Manhattan) and never been more satisfied with the drink or service than here. Honestly no other smoothie places can compare. I can order my drink within the moment I step inside (the workers are highly attentive to customers) and wait less than 5 minutes until my smoothie’s been made.Very smooth, no chunks, absolutely addictively delicious. My top choice is always the Lychee Valentine, followed by Avomazing or Smooth Avocado, but you really cannot go wrong with any of their choices.“
“Could not have been a better experience. Victor (I believe his name is) greeeted is and wished us a Happy Holiday. We ordered the Braised Pork Belly Donburi and the Ebi Tama Donburi and absolutely loved both of them. The pork belly was tender and succulent, a wonderful combo with the rice and greens. The Ebi Taka was shrimp tempura along with egg and rice. Both of the portions were large! I had the chocolate boba. a perfect balance to the saltier entree. We'll be back!“
“I found this little Vietnamese cafe. I ordered the salad noodle bowl with grilled chicken and a smoothie. I really liked the rice noodle, it’s really fresh and matches well with the sauce. Cafe was spacious with plentiful of seats. I would come back again ?“
“Delicious tea - not too sweet even at the regular sugar amount. There’s options to adjust sugar and ice levels. Lots of flavors offered and a generous amount of bubbles.The store has a variety of East Asian snacks as well, ranging from candy and noodles to sauce.The staff member was very friendly also. Highly recommend supporting this local shop instead of the various chains around“
“The owner is super professional and nice to people, all their dishes are authentic from northeast to southwest China. The restaurant decorated warm and beautiful, makes you feel at home dinning room. If you are a MU fan then would get a surprise gift.“
“Cute tiny cafe with delicious, gourmet health made completely from scratch. The owner/chef is very professional, quick yet thorough and careful. We ordered a smoothie, veggie empanada, Mediterranean salad, veggie bowl with egg and a falafel wrap. The 2 large fried eggs were cooked medium to perfection as requested. Every bite was powerful and delicious, our toes were dancing while we ate!“
“It's not just the best Thai food in Park Slope; it's also one of my all-time favorite restaurants in the area because the service is always exceptional! The staff go out of their way to make you comfortable and are extremely attentive. The food is incredible as well, and you cannot beat the value for the price! PLEASE try the Chive pancake, it will blow your mind“
“Want tea around NYU campus? Sip perfection with customized drinks like Unforgivable and Chijito here at Chihiro Tea. Best tea in the neighborhood! Cute, cozy interior, though a bit cramped with students. Don't miss the NYU student discount. A must-visit oasis, especially in steamy summer!“
“Cute little shop hidden away! I got the passion fruit green tea, which was made fresh. The drink was super refreshing and I really like how they use real fruit. The packaging is also so cute and the service was pretty quick. Definitely want to come back to try their other drink flavors and the boba.“
“What a nice little snack shop hidden on 164th street between the 7-11 and pizza place. Recommended for kids. Got some super sweet strawberry bubble tea. And cake. And a macaroon. They also have some real food snack options like French fries and chicken bites. Didn’t try the stuffed animal vending machines this time.Kid-friendliness: Stuffed animals on the wall for the kiddies to look at. And sweet dessert foods.“
“had this originally in Flushing, NY. tried the pineapple tea w nata jelly. very refreshing and the jelly was delicious w a nice crunchy texture.so good that I got it again later in Secaucus, NJ. this time was the peach tea w nata jelly. it was still very delicious!disclaimer, they may be a chain but they each make it differently. the nata jelly in NY was shorter, rectangular shape while NJ is longer, like shaven coconut. both were still amazing. would definitely go again!picture: pineapple tea w nata jelly“
“We went to the city to pick up family, and my husband wanted to eat. OMG, the chicken wings and drumsticks were exceptional. Double battered fried chicken ?. Crisp, however so juicy and NOT dry. The chicken is made to order and that keeps it FRESH. The dipping sauces were so flavorful too. Tried the kimchi and it didn't disappoint. We live in Westchester and look forward to driving to NYC soon.“
“Excellent in all its aspects, the only thing is that the place is a little small, but this does not really matter nor does it affect the quality of their products, the service is very good and fast, especially Annie's attention ?Thai Milk Tea recommended“
“They serve both hot and cold drinks! It’s tucked inside a run down food court but the lady is very sweet. I was looking for something hot to drink after my hypothermia inducing run and came across this little gem. They have a kiosk if you don’t have cash to order and pay for drinks. Thanks Zhen Pin Cafe, you saved me from a trip to the hospital and probably a very high medical bill too ?“
“i love fiftylan bubble tea, it is my go-to everytime i am in the area! their class golden bubble milk tea is my usual but their yakults are also delicious!! the only thing i do not like about this place is that it feels as if there is no ventilation in this place and they leave the door closed.“
“Excellent noodles and dim sum in LIC. So rare to find knife-sliced noodles and hand-pulled noodles, especially at this quality. If you like chewy noodles, the knife-sliced are a must-try. Dim sum is also consistently great, try the lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice. Hope this place stays open forever.“
“So far everything I've ordered from here is delicious. My friends and I love the Gelato, macaroons, their keylime pie is so rich. Overall great experience ordering - I have never been in store for the experience but that may change soon.“
“Great new place that opened recently. Trendy atmosphere, very clean, and the owner is very kind. We ordered a grapefruit ade and a custard + red bean taiyaki. The taiyaki was heavenly, definitely recommend. Homemade batter, not too sweet, delicious filling. Mochi like texture. Definitely coming back!“
“We love coming to this location. They have a huge selection of plushies and it wasn’t too hard to win the minis. We saw a couple get real lucky, winning almost all the ball ones in just a couple of tries.Don’t skip the popcorn chicken, honey butter fries, and whipped boba. So good!“
“I absolutely love this place. I come here once or twice a day. The smoothies are excellent. My favorites are peach’s delight and peanut butter punch. Most times I add some combination of mango, coconut and/or spinach to the peanut butter one. I haven’t tried the juices or açaí bowls yet but I’ve heard many great reviews from people I trust. The customer service in this tiny gem of a store is also A1. They care about their customers, I can tell. I hope you guys stay open for a very long time.“
“I'd give 10 stars if I could. I went on a Saturday when there was a bit of a rush and everyone was so kind! The quality of the food was amazing, crispy veggies and HUGE shrimp. I hope they're able to relocate when market line closes.“
“Very nicely decorated place. I got a Oreo taro milk tea and it was great. I forgot to change the sugar level and surprisingly it isn't that sweet. They were nice to answer any questions that I have. I think they are most famous for slush.“
“First and foremost I want to thank this bakery for getting my order in last minute. I order a unicorn cake 3 DAYS before the event, and they did an amazing job! Great customer service the moment I came in to pick up the cake. On the side my sibling and I got a brown bear chocolate cake which we loved, we also got mix fruit mango sago which was refreshing and tasty. The seating area is very clean and cute. Thank you so much JM Cake boutique, I will definitely be coming back for future orders !!!“
“I got the pork soup dumplings and the steamed pork buns. Pork buns (3 pieces) are generous portions and super pillowy. Soup dumplings (5 pieces) are really great. Both served piping hot, which I love. Also, they're very, very friendly in there. I'm so happy to know this place is here, but also so mad at myself for not going sooner. My order came to around $20, I think, which I believe is fair. I didn't leave hungry, either. Would recommend, and will definitely go back.“

“Since we randomly visited any cheesecake place, we didn’t expect the cafe. But the cheesecake was good.For me, their waffle was the best because it was very fluffy and chewy. The waffle gave me quite a rare experience and I loved it.Even though I do not recommend visiting here just to come here, if you go by here by any chance, you should try the cafe. Enjoy the rare waffle and small and cute interior.“
“Hawaii Poke impressed me with its authentic flavors and fresh ingredients. Their variety of toppings allows for unique combinations, and the service has always been fast and friendly. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates quality and originality in their dishes!Dietary restrictions: I can always customize my dish to accommodate my dietary restrictions, which is crucial for me. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was friendly. I'll definitely be back!“
“Hawa Smoothies is a tiny shop that specializes in acai bowls and smoothies. They have a variety of flavors and variations in fruits and additions like bee pollen, see moss, and hemp protein. I ended up getting a large Acai Punch smoothie ($10) with protein ($1). This was an acai-based smoothie with peanut butter. I should've gotten a small because this drink was HUGE. It was well worth the price. The flavor was also delicious, though I did start to get tired of it halfway through. I tried my friend's fruit smoothie (one of the ones with strawberry and mango) and she thought it was sour, but I thought it was really tasty and refreshing and not sour at all.“
“I think I just had the best iced latte i’ve had. Not overrating it because the owners made the experience super welcoming and pleasant with their excellent service while I was there, it truly hit my hungry spot looking for some good coffee in long time. I wish i lived in the neighborhood so i could get it daily. The shop was very nice and clean, you know when the place is run by people who care. A great experience. I want to give 10 stars! ⭐️“
