bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 11/29/2020 | Casey W. | New York, NY | 5 star rating | - absolutely one of my favorite ice cream places in the city
- recommend: swirl (black tea/oolong tea) w/ large and mini bubbles
- black tea is definitely stronger in flavor and almost has a coffee aftertaste
- almost always a wait
- fresh tapioca batches throughout the day
- I heard this place didn't survive the pandemic but I really hope they come back once the dust settles | ['absolutely', 'one', 'favorite', 'ice', 'cream', 'place', 'city', 'recommend', 'swirl', 'black', 'tea/oolong', 'large', 'mini', 'black', 'definitely', 'strong', 'flavor', 'almost', 'coffee', 'aftertaste', 'almost', 'always', 'wait', 'fresh', 'tapioca', 'batch', 'throughout', 'day', 'hear', 'place', 'survive', 'pandemic', 'really', 'hope', 'come', 'back', 'dust', 'settle'] | absolutely one favorite ice cream place city recommend swirl black tea/oolong large mini black definitely strong flavor almost coffee aftertaste almost always wait fresh tapioca batch throughout day hear place survive pandemic really hope come back dust settle | 0.2 | 0 | 0.8 | 0.88 | positive |
bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 8/13/2020 | Marie R. | Edgewater, NJ | 1 star rating | My experience was really bad. I'm usually a bubble tea fanatic and I thought this place was cute and it looked delicious. I went and ordered a large oolong iced tea with bubbles with a little sweet and with ice cream on top.
I saw the pictures and thought by adding matcha ice cream to it would be good. It looked good when they handed it to me, it was ombré colored.
But when I put my straw in it was so gross. It was so bitter. I can handle bitter, but it was like a poor quality tea bitter.
As for the ice cream portion, I figured that it would taste good but it wasn't creamy at all it was icy and weird. Like Brewer's ice cream when it melts and then you freeze it again. Not creamy.
From experience and hearing from ice cream experts, the quality of the ice cream depends on the milk, cream and eggs. If it starts to melt fast after you take it out and it's creamy in texture and has a rich flavor then it's good quality. It's bad quality if it's really hard, icy (from the cream and milk being poor quality so they aren't blending well), then you know the ice cream is a no-go.
My husband got a large iced matcha green tea. He said his was gross too. I didn't drink mine because it was way too nasty and the girl at the counter didn't want to fix the issue. I ended up throwing my drink in the trash and my husband fought through drinking at least half and three it out as well.
I want to give them a second chance, but we know of much better bubble tea shops in our area and we don't want to risk wasting our money again. | ['experience', 'really', 'bad', 'usually', 'fanatic', 'think', 'place', 'cute', 'look', 'delicious', 'order', 'large', 'oolong', 'ice', 'little', 'sweet', 'ice', 'cream', 'top', 'saw', 'picture', 'think', 'add', 'matcha', 'ice', 'cream', 'would', 'good', 'look', 'good', 'hand', 'ombré', 'color', 'put', 'straw', 'gross', 'bitter', 'handle', 'bitter', 'like', 'poor', 'quality', 'bitter', 'ice', 'cream', 'portion', 'figure', 'would', 'taste', 'good', 'creamy', 'icy', 'weird', 'like', 'brewer', 'ice', 'cream', 'melt', 'freeze', 'creamy', 'experience', 'hearing', 'ice', 'cream', 'expert', 'quality', 'ice', 'cream', 'depend', 'milk', 'cream', 'egg', 'start', 'melt', 'fast', 'take', 'creamy', 'texture', 'rich', 'flavor', 'good', 'quality', 'bad', 'quality', 'really', 'hard', 'icy', 'cream', 'milk', 'poor', 'quality', 'blend', 'well', 'know', 'ice', 'cream', 'no-go', 'husband', 'get', 'large', 'iced', 'matcha', 'green', 'say', 'gross', 'drink', 'mine', 'way', 'nasty', 'girl', 'counter', 'want', 'fix', 'issue', 'end', 'throw', 'drink', 'trash', 'husband', 'fight', 'drinking', 'least', 'half', 'three', 'well', 'want', 'give', 'second', 'chance', 'know', 'much', 'good', 'shop', 'area', 'want', 'risk', 'waste', 'money'] | experience really bad usually fanatic think place cute look delicious order large oolong ice little sweet ice cream top saw picture think add matcha ice cream would good look good hand ombré color put straw gross bitter handle bitter like poor quality bitter ice cream portion figure would taste good creamy icy weird like brewer ice cream melt freeze creamy experience hearing ice cream expert quality ice cream depend milk cream egg start melt fast take creamy texture rich flavor good quality bad quality really hard icy cream milk poor quality blend well know ice cream no-go husband get large iced matcha green say gross drink mine way nasty girl counter want fix issue end throw drink trash husband fight drinking least half three well want give second chance know much good shop area want risk waste money | 0.12 | 0.17 | 0.71 | -0.97 | negative |

I love their choice of boba size which is small and regular but the small ones r just easier to chew and I prefer those. They also have soft swerves where you can add boba which is the best if both worlds. The place is nice and aesthetic.

I really like how they put ice cream in their tea instead of milk and how they give you a choice for the size of bubbles. I personally enjoy adding both sizes of the bubbles. The store is also small and don't have a lot of seats, so it's not great for sitting and studying, but it's is a great hang out spot for small groups. Every time I visit the store, it is always clean and the employees are always really nice. This boba store is also close to Soho, so it is really convenient for people to grab it on the go. They have a lot of different teas to choose from and you can also customize your order like the size, toppings, sweetness, etc. Overall, the drinks are worth it's price and is a must-try! | ['one', 'best', 'place', 'ever', 'would', 'come', 'constantly', 'far', 'live', 'really', 'like', 'put', 'ice', 'cream', 'instead', 'milk', 'give', 'choice', 'size', 'personally', 'enjoy', 'add', 'size', 'store', 'also', 'small', 'lot', 'seat', 'great', 'sit', 'study', 'great', 'hang', 'spot', 'small', 'group', 'every', 'time', 'visit', 'store', 'always', 'clean', 'employee', 'always', 'really', 'nice', 'store', 'also', 'close', 'soho', 'really', 'convenient', 'people', 'grab', 'lot', 'different', 'choose', 'also', 'customize', 'order', 'like', 'size', 'topping', 'sweetness', 'etc', 'overall', 'drink', 'worth', 'price', 'must-try'] | one best place ever would come constantly far live really like put ice cream instead milk give choice size personally enjoy add size store also small lot seat great sit study great hang spot small group every time visit store always clean employee always really nice store also close soho really convenient people grab lot different choose also customize order like size topping sweetness etc overall drink worth price must-try | 0.15 | 0.04 | 0.81 | 0.95 | positive |

Usually shared with a friend. It's definitely a lot of hype surrounding the soft serve, but I actually prefer the drinks to the soft serve - drinks are a little more consistent than the soft serve, interestingly enough.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 3/31/2020 | Lisa N. | San Jose, CA | 5 star rating | It's a (Bar) Pa-Tea in my mouth.
Taste is what you would expect, milk tea flavored in soft serve form. I like how the tea flavor was prominent in flavor but not too overpowering. Boba pearls was good, nice flavor and texture. Chewy yet soft and a sugary sweetness like how boba should be.
I tried the Black milk tea soft serve with boba ($5.50 for regular cup). Choice between regular bubbles or mini bubbles. I still don't understand why people call it 'bubbles'. I call it BOBA. Aside from tea soft serves, they also serve tea lattes and ice cream drinks. Small store with very limited seating. Good service and nice staff.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 3/16/2020 | Christina D. | Clifton, NJ | 4 star rating | I love me a good PINK matcha latte
I was in the city this past weekend doing some errands and picking up some baking supplies and decided to go to @barpatea on a whim. I've only been here once before, but I knew they had some really good tea options, soft serve with boba/bubbles, and boba milk tea floats. But ya girl was in the mood for a simple matcha latte. Thus, when I saw the option to "Make it Pink" I knew I just had to do it. So the "pink" color comes from Beet Powder, but it doesn't give off any flavor or alter the flavor of the matcha- just makes it really pretty and gives off good color contrast lol.
My order was a medium iced Matcha Latte with pink powder, no bubbles, no sugar, and regular ice. I always order my drinks with no sugar so I could still enjoy my favorite drinks without the worry of extra unessessary weight gain.
The drink is super not only super refreshing, but also really cute. 100% suggest trying it out! | ['love', 'good', 'pink', 'matcha', 'latte', 'city', 'past', 'weekend', 'errand', 'pick', 'baking', 'supply', 'decide', 'barpatea', 'whim', 'know', 'really', 'good', 'option', 'soft', 'serve', 'boba/bubbles', 'milk', 'float', 'girl', 'mood', 'simple', 'matcha', 'latte', 'thus', 'saw', 'option', 'make', 'pink', 'know', 'pink', 'color', 'come', 'beet', 'powder', 'give', 'flavor', 'alter', 'flavor', 'matcha-', 'make', 'really', 'pretty', 'give', 'good', 'color', 'contrast', 'lol', 'order', 'medium', 'iced', 'matcha', 'latte', 'pink', 'powder', 'sugar', 'regular', 'ice', 'always', 'order', 'drink', 'sugar', 'could', 'still', 'enjoy', 'favorite', 'drink', 'without', 'worry', 'extra', 'unessessary', 'weight', 'gain', 'drink', 'super', 'super', 'refreshing', 'also', 'really', 'cute', 'suggest', 'try'] | love good pink matcha latte city past weekend errand pick baking supply decide barpatea whim know really good option soft serve boba/bubbles milk float girl mood simple matcha latte thus saw option make pink know pink color come beet powder give flavor alter flavor matcha- make really pretty give good color contrast lol order medium iced matcha latte pink powder sugar regular ice always order drink sugar could still enjoy favorite drink without worry extra unessessary weight gain drink super super refreshing also really cute suggest try | 0.24 | 0.04 | 0.72 | 0.99 | positive |

Whenever I'm around the little Italy area this bubble tea place crosses my mind. I'm always tempted to come here for it's amazing bubble tea soft serve and drinks. I wish they would keep some flavors though, like their vegan jasmine matcha soft serve.
Nevertheless, all of their tea lattes are amazing: black tea, oolong, and matcha! My favorite is the matcha one but you can't go wrong with any of them. I love how strong the tea flavors are. It's not like boba milk, you're really getting milk tea with these drinks.
They offer big and small bubbles, both of which are good, but I prefer the smaller ones (I prefer the bigger bubbles for the soft serve though). Their pearls have a nice flavor and texture. Chewy and a sugary sweetness like how boba should have.

The girl at the front was super sweet and explained how it worked , like how you can add soft serve with which tea you want and all that. There's really nice artwork in the store and it's very instagrammable. I fell in love immediately!
Ok on to the soft serve. I usually hate rose flavored things but with the tea the rise had a lovely mellow taste I really wish I could go get it again
Price : I think it was around $6 - 7 which to me was fine coz I got soft serve plus a drink n a lively space to chill after class

I usually get the oolong soft serve because it's a light but you can definitely taste the tea flavor. They also have pretty good drinks and the mini pearls or bubbles.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 3/1/2020 | Cathy Z. | New York, NY | 5 star rating | One of my favorite tea/boba shops in NYC, by far. Bar Pa Tea is one of the few places that serves real, high quality drinks with a great variety of both tea choices and milks, as well as milk-tea soft serve!
I've tried their soft serves, and various tea lattes they offer. I can't choose a favorite, since I've enjoyed all the flavors I have tried, but you definitely cannot go wrong with their Oolong tea latte or some of their other flavors such as Rose Green Tea. I will usually get it sweetened 25% or 50%, with a milk substitute (milk substitutes are at no additional charge!), with less ice. They also offer both small and larger bubbles for your tea, but I usually prefer the larger sized bubbles.
They do run out of their soft serve's near the end of the day, so if you are planning on visiting for that, I would recommend going earlier. The last time I went, they had just run out. That's alright though -- since that gives me an excuse to come back to Bar Pa Tea LOL. | ['one', 'favorite', 'tea/boba', 'shop', 'nyc', 'far', 'bar', 'one', 'place', 'serve', 'real', 'high', 'quality', 'drink', 'great', 'variety', 'choice', 'milk', 'well', 'milk-tea', 'soft', 'serve', 'try', 'soft', 'serf', 'various', 'lattes', 'offer', 'choose', 'favorite', 'since', 'enjoy', 'flavor', 'try', 'definitely', 'wrong', 'oolong', 'latte', 'flavor', 'rose', 'green', 'usually', 'get', 'sweeten', 'milk', 'substitute', 'milk', 'substitute', 'additional', 'charge', 'less', 'ice', 'also', 'offer', 'small', 'large', 'usually', 'prefer', 'large', 'sized', 'run', 'soft', 'serve', 'near', 'end', 'day', 'plan', 'visit', 'would', 'recommend', 'early', 'last', 'time', 'run', 'alright', 'though', 'since', 'give', 'excuse', 'come', 'back', 'bar', 'lol'] | one favorite tea/boba shop nyc far bar one place serve real high quality drink great variety choice milk well milk-tea soft serve try soft serf various lattes offer choose favorite since enjoy flavor try definitely wrong oolong latte flavor rose green usually get sweeten milk substitute milk substitute additional charge less ice also offer small large usually prefer large sized run soft serve near end day plan visit would recommend early last time run alright though since give excuse come back bar lol | 0.15 | 0.01 | 0.83 | 0.97 | positive |

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 2/23/2020 | Stacy W. | Manhattan, NY | 5 star rating | Let me start by saying I grew up in an area of Los Angeles that is known for everything Asian - SGV. If you don't know, now you know. That area has the best dim sum, boba, beef noodle soup, you name it!
When I first moved to NYC of course I was on a quest to find, at the very least, some decent BOBA. Yea, you east coasters call in "bubbles" but the best coast calls it BOBA. When I arrived, I tried several chains of boba, becoming increasingly disappointed at the next place.
Bar Pa Tea is my favorite NYC spot so far and I have tried A LOT. The brown sugar milk with boba and the swirl soft serve (oolong mixed with black tea) with boba are my go-to favorites. My friend and I only get those two items whenever we go.
The drink does not taste over powering with artificial flavors as drinks taste at other places. The boba has a great flavor and a perfect texture - not too chewy nor soft. Please take caution when eating the swirl soft serve as you will probably crave it again and will need to go back to satisfy this craving. It's light and not too sweet, it is perfect on a hot day.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 2/19/2020 | Emily C. | Boston, MA | 5 star rating | Bar Pa Tea is known for their soft serve ice cream, tea and boba. Though, I can only speak for their soft serve because I did not get to try the others.
This is one of my favorite soft serve ice cream shops in NYC! I've been here twice and both times I got the salted caramel oolong tea soft serve ice cream with tapioca. The ice cream itself was $4.50 and the topping was additional $0.50.
My first visit, I got tapioca on the top and bottom - mini tapioca on the top and regular tapioca on the bottom. My second visit, I did not get tapioca on the top because I noticed that it was difficult to scoop into as the tapioca nearly fell out of the cup.
The ice cream is very smooth, creamy and rich in flavor.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 2/16/2020 | Sumin C. | New York, NY | 4 star rating | I tried their rose green tea and black tea swirl with big bubbles for topping (~$7). Both flavors were not as sweet yet flavorful. The black tea tasted exactly like what you would imagine milk tea would taste like but a soft serve version. The rose green tea had a very strong rose flavor, but I wished it had more green tea flavor to balance it out. I also wanted to try their matcha green tea flavor, but I don't think it was on the menu at the time.
With the big bubbles I got, it literally tasted like an ice cream version of bubble milk tea. I was surprised by how chewy and perfect the boba was -- next time I would definitely try their tea with the boba.
Space inside the shop is pretty limited with only a couple small seats, so this is more of a grab-and-go kind of place.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 1/17/2020 | Martha Z. | Voorhees Township, NJ | 5 star rating | I can only speak for the soft serve because I didn't end up getting a tea for myself, but the soft serve was so good! I ordered the black tea flavor, whose flavor was embodied perfectly, in addition to being extremely smooth and creamy. I also ordered boba as a topping, which shared the same chewy yet soft texture that I love about boba from my favorite boba places back home. I'm usually not too impressed by soft serve places since it's pretty hard to blow competitors out of the water with soft serve, but the flavors at Bar Pa Tea accomplished just that.
The only thing I have to complain about is that the store itself is rather small, so it gets really crowded inside with how many people visit. As a result, seating gets a bit cramped and even getting back to the counter to pick up your order is a bit difficult.
Overall though, Bar Pa Tea nailed it with their boba soft serve, and hopefully I'll be back to get another one. Also, from what it looked like, the boba menu also seemed pretty unique and expansive so I'd be down to try their drinks here too. | ['speak', 'soft', 'serve', 'end', 'get', 'soft', 'serve', 'good', 'order', 'black', 'flavor', 'whose', 'flavor', 'embody', 'perfectly', 'addition', 'extremely', 'smooth', 'creamy', 'also', 'order', 'topping', 'share', 'chewy', 'yet', 'soft', 'texture', 'love', 'favorite', 'place', 'back', 'home', 'usually', 'impressed', 'soft', 'serve', 'place', 'since', 'pretty', 'hard', 'blow', 'competitor', 'water', 'soft', 'serve', 'flavor', 'bar', 'accomplish', 'thing', 'complain', 'store', 'rather', 'small', 'get', 'really', 'crowd', 'inside', 'many', 'people', 'visit', 'result', 'seat', 'get', 'bit', 'cramped', 'even', 'get', 'back', 'counter', 'pick', 'order', 'bit', 'difficult', 'overall', 'though', 'bar', 'nail', 'soft', 'serve', 'hopefully', 'back', 'get', 'another', 'one', 'also', 'look', 'like', 'menu', 'also', 'seem', 'pretty', 'unique', 'expansive', 'would', 'try', 'drink'] | speak soft serve end get soft serve good order black flavor whose flavor embody perfectly addition extremely smooth creamy also order topping share chewy yet soft texture love favorite place back home usually impressed soft serve place since pretty hard blow competitor water soft serve flavor bar accomplish thing complain store rather small get really crowd inside many people visit result seat get bit cramped even get back counter pick order bit difficult overall though bar nail soft serve hopefully back get another one also look like menu also seem pretty unique expansive would try drink | 0.19 | 0.05 | 0.76 | 0.99 | positive |
bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 1/8/2020 | Ranee L. | Scarborough, Toronto, Canada | 5 star rating | Stumbled on this dainty lil local bubble tea shop while exploring Nolita. We ordered the black milk tea soft serve with a mix of small and large pearls. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did but wow I want this again! The tea flavour was so strong and delicious. The taste is more reminiscent to HK milk tea than normal bubble tea from Gong Cha or CoCo. I also didn't expect to like the smaller tapioca more than the larger/normal sized ones but that happened too! It almost fits better, texture wise, to the ice cream.
I don't remember the exact price but I believe we paid around $6 with the topping add-on. In my opinion, totally worth it and unique! | ['stumble', 'dainty', 'lil', 'local', 'shop', 'explore', 'nolita', 'order', 'black', 'milk', 'soft', 'serve', 'mix', 'small', 'large', 'pearl', 'expect', 'like', 'much', 'wow', 'want', 'flavour', 'strong', 'delicious', 'taste', 'reminiscent', 'milk', 'normal', 'gong', 'cha', 'coco', 'also', 'expect', 'like', 'small', 'tapioca', 'larger/normal', 'sized', 'one', 'happen', 'almost', 'fit', 'good', 'texture', 'wise', 'ice', 'cream', 'remember', 'exact', 'price', 'believe', 'pay', 'around', 'top', 'add-on', 'opinion', 'totally', 'worth', 'unique'] | stumble dainty lil local shop explore nolita order black milk soft serve mix small large pearl expect like much wow want flavour strong delicious taste reminiscent milk normal gong cha coco also expect like small tapioca larger/normal sized one happen almost fit good texture wise ice cream remember exact price believe pay around top add-on opinion totally worth unique | 0.2 | 0.03 | 0.77 | 0.98 | positive |

My friends got oolong tea with bubbles as they have tried their infamous soft serve already. I never tried the soft serve so I tried the black tea soft serve with a Belgian waffle and bubbles as sides.
The soft serve wasn't overly sweet, and the bubbles had just enough chew without being overly tough as well. My friends both got the oolong tea, and it seemed as if one of the teas were a bit bitter, however it was easily fixed because you can add simple syrup as you like on the counter.

Got the Jasmine Oolong Tea with bubbles on a whim and kind of regretted it. It wasn't bad or anything. It just wasn't anything special. All I tasted was a roasted earthy flavor. Couldn't really detect the jasmine in it either. Their bubbles are a light brown color too, definitely different from all the black tapioca balls I've seen previously.
My friend had the Brown Sugar Milk (at least I think it was the Brown Sugar Milk.. it was Brown Sugar something) and when I took a sip.. wow, now that's what I call mind-blowing! It was sweet, but not overwhelming sweet to fault.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 11/7/2019 | Alida H. | Los Angeles, CA | 5 star rating | I have only had the soft serve with boba here and it is such a unique dessert in which the ingredients actually work quite well together. I thoroughly enjoyed my dessert, and had the seasonal flavors which were the rose green milk tea and jasmine matcha green milk tea swirled. A soft serve here will run you about $5-6, which is pretty reasonable, considering other dessert places are charging well up to $8-9 for ice cream cones.

It's a small little store with not too much space to eat inside. When I went, it looked packed but it was only because people were sitting on all the chairs or different groups of people were waiting for their dessert to come out. Ordering was easy and quick which was a huge plus.
I got the Black Tea soft serve with boba. The soft serve tasted sooo good and the boba was chewy and the perfect consistency!

Customer Service: They should smile a little more and engage in a small conversation with the customers.
Grapefruit green tea: My brother said that it could have used a little more sugar and less ice. It tasted a bit watered down like it was diluted. The tapioca was a bit hard and did not taste good.
Lemon green tea: It had a hint of the lemon taste and barely any green tea taste. This was definitely diluted somehow and just was not tasty at all. The regular tapioca was a bit hard and the small tapioca had a weird after taste.
Milk tea soft serve: According to my daughters they said that this was just OK and was nothing special.
Overall: This was a good place to go to get a Instagram picture of the items. However, I do not know if I would return to try out the other items as the first experience was just OK. | ['kid', 'decide', 'come', 'friend', 'tell', 'place', 'must', 'try', 'park', 'near', 'dessert', 'shop', 'customer', 'service', 'smile', 'little', 'engage', 'small', 'conversation', 'customer', 'grapefruit', 'green', 'brother', 'say', 'could', 'use', 'little', 'sugar', 'less', 'ice', 'taste', 'bit', 'water', 'like', 'dilute', 'tapioca', 'bit', 'hard', 'taste', 'good', 'lemon', 'green', 'hint', 'lemon', 'taste', 'barely', 'green', 'taste', 'definitely', 'dilute', 'somehow', 'tasty', 'regular', 'tapioca', 'bit', 'hard', 'small', 'tapioca', 'weird', 'taste', 'milk', 'soft', 'serve', 'accord', 'daughter', 'say', 'nothing', 'special', 'overall', 'good', 'place', 'get', 'instagram', 'picture', 'item', 'however', 'know', 'would', 'return', 'try', 'item', 'first', 'experience'] | kid decide come friend tell place must try park near dessert shop customer service smile little engage small conversation customer grapefruit green brother say could use little sugar less ice taste bit water like dilute tapioca bit hard taste good lemon green hint lemon taste barely green taste definitely dilute somehow tasty regular tapioca bit hard small tapioca weird taste milk soft serve accord daughter say nothing special overall good place get instagram picture item however know would return try item first experience | 0.1 | 0.07 | 0.83 | 0.81 | positive |
bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 10/21/2019 | Sherry C. | Tysons, VA | 4 star rating | The tea was a little too sweet but we also didn't adjust the sugar level. I think it was more caramel than salted caramel and I wish the oolong was stronger in flavor. The bubbles however, were really chewy and I liked the flavor a lot. It also went well with the ice cream. The ice cream wasn't overly sweet and flavor was pretty decent.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 10/13/2019 | Alex C. | San Francisco, CA | 5 star rating | New York itself is a metropolis of bubble tea, and there is never a shortage. Boba has this insane cult following in the most urban and metropolitan cities and New York is in my opinion the largest of the American hubs. San Francisco and Los Angeles are contenders for the 2nd largest. So whenever I am in New York, which I usually visit during the summer months; I am usually holding some sort of tea drink to get through the heat.
I have had Bar Pa Tea bookmarked for quite some time and took my cousin there to have boba and soft serve.
A quaint cafe set up in white with a minimalist interior. When I had arrived there was a small line with patrons eager to order a cup of soft serve topped with golden boba. I went in hoping to try their ube soft serve and unfortunately they were not producing that flavor as ube was for the winter season. So I ended up ordering their oolong tea soft serve topped with extra chewy golden colored honey boba. The soft serve was creamy and full of oolong flavor and the boba was a delight to eat. I did also order a grapefruit green tea with golden boba; yes I had more boba and it was so refreshing especially on a hot summers day.
I would say that If I lived in New York, that I would be visiting Bar Pa Tea on a daily basis and it would become my favorite spot for bubble tea. | ['new', 'york', 'metropolis', 'never', 'shortage', 'insane', 'cult', 'follow', 'urban', 'metropolitan', 'city', 'new', 'york', 'opinion', 'large', 'american', 'hub', 'san', 'francisco', 'los', 'angeles', 'contender', 'large', 'whenever', 'new', 'york', 'usually', 'visit', 'summer', 'month', 'usually', 'hold', 'sort', 'drink', 'get', 'heat', 'bar', 'bookmarked', 'quite', 'time', 'take', 'cousin', 'soft', 'serve', 'quaint', 'cafe', 'set', 'white', 'minimalist', 'interior', 'arrive', 'small', 'line', 'patron', 'eager', 'order', 'cup', 'soft', 'serve', 'top', 'golden', 'hop', 'try', 'ube', 'soft', 'serve', 'unfortunately', 'produce', 'flavor', 'ube', 'winter', 'season', 'end', 'order', 'oolong', 'soft', 'serve', 'top', 'extra', 'chewy', 'golden', 'color', 'honey', 'soft', 'serve', 'creamy', 'full', 'oolong', 'flavor', 'delight', 'eat', 'also', 'order', 'grapefruit', 'green', 'golden', 'yes', 'refreshing', 'especially', 'hot', 'summer', 'day', 'would', 'say', 'live', 'new', 'york', 'would', 'visit', 'bar', 'daily', 'basis', 'would', 'become', 'favorite', 'spot'] | new york metropolis never shortage insane cult follow urban metropolitan city new york opinion large american hub san francisco los angeles contender large whenever new york usually visit summer month usually hold sort drink get heat bar bookmarked quite time take cousin soft serve quaint cafe set white minimalist interior arrive small line patron eager order cup soft serve top golden hop try ube soft serve unfortunately produce flavor ube winter season end order oolong soft serve top extra chewy golden color honey soft serve creamy full oolong flavor delight eat also order grapefruit green golden yes refreshing especially hot summer day would say live new york would visit bar daily basis would become favorite spot | 0.07 | 0.02 | 0.91 | 0.88 | positive |

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 10/7/2019 | Chris K. | New York, NY | 5 star rating | Simply amazing bubble tea with fresh ingredients.
I stumbled across Bar Pa Tea after a long day shopping in SoHo. It was one of those moments where you're craving something sweet and don't candy, but something much more refined.
But, not too refined as it should be kept casual during the day. This is where Bar Pa Tea stands out of the large crowd of boba shops in Lower Manhattan.
There's a variety of flavors for you to choose, and any decision will not be a mistake. I decided to go with the Matcha Green Tea Latte, and it was the best decision I've made for boba. It was full of body and rich flavor, plus the tapioca bubbles aren't just your normal bubbles - they tasted a little less chewy and sweet, which is a plus.
I'll definitely be back. However, the shop is pretty small so don't expect seating during busy times.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 10/6/2019 | Spidereats Y. | Manhattan, New York, NY | 5 star rating | I LOVE this shop, it's my favorite boba place in the city by far. Been going since they opened and the quality does not drop. As a big tea lover I like that they have higher grade tea options as well as the standard milk tea. I'm not a big boba person in general, so the mini bubbles are perfect. I don't have to chew my way through all the big boba or feel bad about throwing it out if I can just swallow it all XD
Always looking forward to the holiday ice creams as well (please do halloween)!

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 10/2/2019 | Eva Z. | New York, NY | 3 star rating | This place always seems to mess up my order. I came here on two separate occasions, at least a year apart and both times my order was incorrect. The first time I came, I came by myself and I ordered one of the soft serves and asked for MINI bubbles bc I dont like the regular bubbles - just personal preference for any bubble tea shop. I ended up receiving regular bubbles. Second time I came, I came with my bf and I ordered a roasted oolong tea latte with MINI bubbles again and he ordered a jasmine green tea latte with mix bubbles. Guess what I ended up getting? I got the mix bubbles and he got the mini bubbles in his drink. Theres really no excuse as to why they keep messing up my order. Its just really frustrating. Their drinks and soft serve are good, but I probably wont return for this reason. | ['place', 'always', 'seem', 'mess', 'order', 'come', 'two', 'separate', 'occasion', 'least', 'year', 'apart', 'time', 'order', 'incorrect', 'first', 'time', 'come', 'come', 'order', 'one', 'soft', 'serf', 'ask', 'mini', 'like', 'regular', 'personal', 'preference', 'shop', 'end', 'receive', 'regular', 'second', 'time', 'come', 'come', 'order', 'roast', 'oolong', 'latte', 'mini', 'order', 'jasmine', 'green', 'latte', 'mix', 'guess', 'end', 'get', 'get', 'mix', 'get', 'mini', 'drink', 'really', 'excuse', 'keep', 'mess', 'order', 'really', 'frustrate', 'drink', 'soft', 'serve', 'good', 'probably', 'return', 'reason'] | place always seem mess order come two separate occasion least year apart time order incorrect first time come come order one soft serf ask mini like regular personal preference shop end receive regular second time come come order roast oolong latte mini order jasmine green latte mix guess end get get mix get mini drink really excuse keep mess order really frustrate drink soft serve good probably return reason | 0.02 | 0.05 | 0.93 | -0.44 | negative |
bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 9/30/2019 | Cheyenne C. | Los Angeles, CA | 3 star rating | Had the black tea/oolong soft serve swirl with mini boba - while the flavors were good (not too sweet, but still strong enough to taste the tea), I was mostly disappointed that the middle of the soft serve is hollow. You think you are going to get a nice big cup of soft serve, only to get to the middle and find nothing inside. At $6 for the dessert with boba, I expected there to be more. The worker tried to give the excuse that it needs to be hollow to maintain the swirl shape, but I'm skeptical. | ['black', 'tea/oolong', 'soft', 'serve', 'swirl', 'mini', 'flavor', 'good', 'sweet', 'still', 'strong', 'enough', 'taste', 'mostly', 'disappointed', 'middle', 'soft', 'serve', 'hollow', 'think', 'get', 'nice', 'big', 'cup', 'soft', 'serve', 'get', 'middle', 'find', 'nothing', 'inside', 'dessert', 'expect', 'worker', 'try', 'give', 'excuse', 'need', 'hollow', 'maintain', 'swirl', 'shape', 'skeptical'] | black tea/oolong soft serve swirl mini flavor good sweet still strong enough taste mostly disappointed middle soft serve hollow think get nice big cup soft serve get middle find nothing inside dessert expect worker try give excuse need hollow maintain swirl shape skeptical | 0.13 | 0.07 | 0.81 | 0.67 | positive |

They were helpful while we tried to figure out what teas to get. I got the jasmine black tea with boba. It came out in a cute cup with nice sayings on it. Overall it was pretty good and smooth. Not too sweet either. The boba wasnt as soft as I prefer them to be, but not bad. Keep in mind, there is a 10 dollar minimum on cards and apple pay. They also have snacks for purchase (like pocky and chips) as well as rice balls for purchase. The ambience inside is definitely a great spot for hanging out and working, though that was a bit busier and people were chatty. | ['came', 'around', 'thursday', 'line', 'staff', 'friendly', 'helpful', 'try', 'figure', 'teas', 'get', 'get', 'jasmine', 'black', 'come', 'cute', 'cup', 'nice', 'saying', 'overall', 'pretty', 'good', 'smooth', 'sweet', 'either', 'soft', 'prefer', 'bad', 'keep', 'mind', 'dollar', 'minimum', 'card', 'apple', 'pay', 'also', 'snack', 'purchase', 'like', 'pocky', 'chip', 'well', 'rice', 'ball', 'purchase', 'ambience', 'inside', 'definitely', 'great', 'spot', 'hang', 'work', 'though', 'bit', 'busy', 'people', 'chatty'] | came around thursday line staff friendly helpful try figure teas get get jasmine black come cute cup nice saying overall pretty good smooth sweet either soft prefer bad keep mind dollar minimum card apple pay also snack purchase like pocky chip well rice ball purchase ambience inside definitely great spot hang work though bit busy people chatty | 0.2 | 0.04 | 0.76 | 0.97 | positive |

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 9/25/2019 | Alexandra Y. | Castro Valley, CA | 5 star rating | This place is a MUST every time I'm in New York. They have bubble tea lattes that are so cute & really good. When I go, I always get the soft serve because I haven't found anything like it back home in LA. Their soft serves are milk tea flavored & you have the option of ordering your ice cream with boba on top! They change the flavors sometimes but the black tea one is usually always there. The flavor of the ice cream has strong tea flavor & has just the right amount of sweetness. The tapioca balls are the perfect consistency: chewy, bouncy, not too soft, but not too firm either. For me, this soft serve is so great because it combines all my favorite desserts into one product.

bar-pa-tea-new-york-2 | 9/18/2019 | Phoebe L. | New York, NY | 4 star rating | Heard the buzz about this place and there bubble tea soft serve and decided to check it out with some friends. For a hot Saturday afternoon, it was as expected very crowded. The shop is quite small with minimal seating, so just something to expect if you are going at a peak hour.
Despite the large line, the workers were very efficient at taking and making sure everyone got their orders. I got the oolong soft serve with mini boba topping, and my friend got the black tea and oolong swirl with regular boba topping.
The soft serve and the boba topping were both very good, and not too sweet. It tasted just like you would expect from a milk tea soft serve. The difference between the oolong and the black tea soft serve is very slight, and I probably wouldn't be able to tell there was a difference if I didn't compare them side by side.
Overall, a very clean, cute, and aesthetic dessert shop. I would love to see them expand their tea flavors for their soft serve to be a little more diverse in flavor. | ['heard', 'buzz', 'place', 'soft', 'serve', 'decide', 'check', 'friend', 'hot', 'saturday', 'afternoon', 'expect', 'crowded', 'shop', 'quite', 'small', 'minimal', 'seating', 'something', 'expect', 'peak', 'hour', 'despite', 'large', 'line', 'worker', 'efficient', 'take', 'make', 'sure', 'everyone', 'get', 'order', 'get', 'oolong', 'soft', 'serve', 'mini', 'topping', 'friend', 'get', 'black', 'oolong', 'swirl', 'regular', 'topping', 'soft', 'serve', 'topping', 'good', 'sweet', 'taste', 'like', 'would', 'expect', 'milk', 'soft', 'serve', 'difference', 'oolong', 'black', 'soft', 'serve', 'slight', 'probably', 'would', 'able', 'tell', 'difference', 'compare', 'side', 'side', 'overall', 'clean', 'cute', 'aesthetic', 'dessert', 'shop', 'would', 'love', 'see', 'expand', 'flavor', 'soft', 'serve', 'little', 'diverse', 'flavor'] | heard buzz place soft serve decide check friend hot saturday afternoon expect crowded shop quite small minimal seating something expect peak hour despite large line worker efficient take make sure everyone get order get oolong soft serve mini topping friend get black oolong swirl regular topping soft serve topping good sweet taste like would expect milk soft serve difference oolong black soft serve slight probably would able tell difference compare side side overall clean cute aesthetic dessert shop would love see expand flavor soft serve little diverse flavor | 0.15 | 0.01 | 0.84 | 0.98 | positive |
