THE best brown sugar bubble tea in the business. I discovered this place in London, and I was so excited to see it finally open a location in Manhattan because I cant commit to going all the way out to Flushing just for bbt. They have the best brown sugar bbt because it's just the right amount of sweetness that stays in your mouth after swallowing and their tapioca pearls are perfectly cooked. Not too soft or hard, just right! Also! Dont forget to get your fortune from the box on the side! Just pick a stick you like and check the Chinese number to the corresponding box to get your fortune! I got the brown sugar with gold foil. 5/5

Quite possible some of the best bubble tea I've ever had. Came here late on a Sunday night and it was decently crowded. They have a small selection, and I got to say man they nailed it. The drink was creamy the boba was chewy. Ube flavor was on point, not much else to it. A must try if you're in the area and in the mood for boba!

I loooove xing fu tang. When I heard that they were opening a location in Manhattan, I was so excited. They have the best bubbles because they freshly make the boba in house and stir fry it in brown sugar. While we were waiting, it was mesmerizing to see the machine roll the tapioca out and the workers precisely measure the boba into cups and start stir frying the brown sugar. I wish there were other boba places in NY that freshly make their boba like this. I've only tried the boba milk tea, so I can't speak for the other drinks, but it's just so good. The brown sugar makes the flavor so rich and the boba is super soft but still chewy. In the battle of brown sugar boba, I pick XFT; it's less sweet than tiger sugar and their boba is better. They let you customize ice level and milk I believe but for the brown sugar milk tea, we weren't able to adjust ice level or add taro boba. This is not much of a big deal to me, but it might be good to keep in mind if you're someone who likes to customize their drink orders.

I got a newly made fresh batch of bubbles in mine and the bubbles were so soft that it felt like it melted as soon as i chewed it. The drink wasn't overly sweet which is what i was worried about (reason why i didnt get the brown sugar boba milk).

Come get some freshly made, on the premises boba tea soft serve. It is so good! It is so literally fresh that I watch them make the boba, & the soft serve while I waited. The location is so bright and sparkly clean. The entire team wears uniforms & are actively practicing safety mask protocols, which I love. While you wait for your boba drink or soft serve, you will observe the all hands on deck process. You can watch the entire creative process that goes into making what you've ordered. You see everything form making the boba, to cooking it, to blending the drink, the pouring, the ice cream making etc... While you wait you will notice a large wall chest with a series of draws, you can pull fortunes from the mini draws. My soft serve was so good and had a perfect amount of ice cream to boba/brown sugar ratio. The staff is kind & efficient. Go get some boba, you won't be disappointed.

Wow. Look no further. This is the place to get boba milk tea in EV! This was my first time trying brown sugar boba and it was incredible. The boba were still warm, perfectly chewy and sweet. It's freshly made right behind the counter too which was cool to watch! I was previously a loyal customer to another bubble tea establishment on saint marks place but I don't think I can ever go back after trying Xing Fu Tang. Even though the prices are slightly higher than others I think the quality makes it worth it. I can't wait to try more of their menu.

Ever in the city and you're craving for some authentic bubble tea? Look no further because now Xing Fu Tang is in Manhattan! One of my fav brown sugar boba drink because XFT makes their boba pearls fresh, in-house, all day, every day. I love their open kitchen concept which gives you the opportunity to watch the entire process from making the pearls to caramelizing the sugar. Honestly it was love at first sip. The most perfect, chewy consistency ever. Also the brown sugar boba soft serve SLAPS. They put a drizzle of cream foam which gives the drink a unique richness. Topped with a sprinkle of brown sugar that's torched for that smokey toasted sugar flavor. Don't forget to shake it about 16-20 times for the best taste! Check out their other flavors as well!

This is going to be my new go-to bubble tea spot. I was very impressed by the brown sugar boba milk drink, which is available with whole milk or oat milk. You get to watch the chef stir the tapioca pearls into a vat of molten brown sugar to create perfectly squishy, chewy, sweet pearls that will have you wanting more.

They had their grand opening today and I waited on line, but it was so worth it! The strawberry boba is sooo chewy and perfect. The best part is that they make their own boba in store. It's not manufactured. It is fresh! The matcha and milk were also the perfect amount to balance each other and it was the right amount of sweet and bitter at the same time. I'd definitely go back and order more drinks.

Came here during the grand opening in St Marks! Super busy but very friendly and helpful cashiers. As part of the grand opening I got a coupon for free boba! We got brown sugar boba with a little less boba and the jasmine honeycomb - both were phenomenal! The jasmine was so refreshing and the boba in the brown sugar boba was absolutely delightful, so squishy and sweet. Highly recommend for all your delicious boba needs.

Xing Fu Tang is my new favorite boba spot!! This was a rec from a friend who had tried the flushing location and said it was her favorite. We went during soft opening. The line was long but it moves really fast. You also get to watch them make boba while you're waiting which was really neat. I ordered the Brown Sugar Boba Milk with no modifications and it was sooo good! The boba is so fresh, SOFT and chewy! It's also nice and warm too so definitely try some before you mix your drink, if you got it with ice. I've tried sooo many boba spots in the city and XFT has the BEST boba by far. I'll definitely be coming back to try their other drinks. Also, get one of the fortunes while you're waiting for your order! They're pretty fun haha

this review is only for the lime green tea. I wanted something fruity and was on my way to gong cha when I saw this place. I decided to give it a try. I got lime green tea with strawberry boba and it was mediocre. Not worth the price at all and most of the cup was ice, which is ridiculous considering the costs. I've literally made better, chewier strawberry boba in my own home with my own tapioca starch. It was not worth it. Maybe i'll try the brown sugar boba since that has good reviews but DONT go for the fruity drinks

Seems like this location just opened and it serves a very tasty drink. Ordered the brown sugar boba with gold foil at a very pricey $13 (around $7 without the foil). Foil is a neat novelty but definitely not worth the price premium. Tea itself was flavorful and the boba were amongst the best I've had, perfect chew and brown sugar flavor that penetrates the entire Pearl. Would recommend giving it a try, although I think Tiger Sugar still has a slight edge with the milk it uses

Got to go to the soft opening of Xing Fu Tang on the corner of 2nd Ave and St. Mark's Place! Got the boba milk tea soft serve and ube boba milk tea - both delicious. The soft serve had a brown sugar "burnt" taste, in a delicious way. The ube boba milk tea was on the heavier side and it tasted like the ube was actual ube rather than the powder. The thing that Xing Fu Tang excels at is their boba - SO GOOD. The texture and sweetness are on point. I've had a looot of boba in my lifetime in China, Los Angeles, San Francisco, NYC, etc. and the boba from Xing Fu Tang is the best in my opinion. Thrilled to have this spot in the city!

Parched and this was the closest bubble tea drink shop nearby, I was bracing for a mediocre drink but it was pretty good! Feeling a fruit tea and using their recommended menu for inspo, I chose the Passion Fruit Jasmine Green Tea w/ 3 Toppings (50% sugar level with White Honey bubbles & coconut jelly). I would have added mango jelly had I known that was an option to replace the brown sugar bubbles if possible. It's a small shop so it can get cramped with over 5 people but WOW, the staff must have magic fingers cause they finished making my order right as I finished paying at the counter. Definitely helps keep people not crowded inside of the store. THE SPEED It was a tad sweeter than I would have liked it, probably due to all those toppings but it satisfied my thirst/craving. Would go again if I was in the area!

I visited the new shop in the bronx. In Little Italy. When this shop opened up I knew I had to try it out. I went the day after the grand opening (I forgot to go) and I ordered the Passionfruit Jasmine Green Tea w/ Mango Jelly and the Thai Milk Tea w/ Mango Jelly. I've had the milk tea before and loved it so I knew i had to get it again but it was my first trying the passionfruit. I love Passionfruit so I knew I was getting that one for sure. It was so light and refreshing especially with how hot it has been lately. This drinks goes in my top 5 of the shop so far. I went again later that same night with my sister (she just had to go also) and this time around I got the Bubble Milk Tea w/ Brown Sugar Boba. That just hit something different. I wasn't expecting it to be that good. I've gone a 3rd time already also. My goal is to try everything on the menu (even if I whined up not liking it)

I stopped by last week and the drinks we had received were awful. Maybe they were having an off day, but the drinks were disgusting. We ordered the Matcha Strawberry Drink and Thai Milk Tea Drink. The Strawberry Matcha drink didn't taste anything like matcha, just cheap strawberry jelly and overly sweet. The Thai Tea Drink was the worst of the two. It tasted NOTHING like Thai tea! It was watered down, unsweetened milk. I wouldn't comeback again.

I usually don't drink bubble or milk teas, but, on a recent visit to New York, I racked up over 20,000 steps per day, so I needed constant refreshment. When I was out and about in Lower Manhattan, this place popped out to me simply because it had a decent level of business and because it had a huge menu of options. The passion fruit / jasmine green tea combo popped out to me as a refreshing choice, which it was, plus it came with my choice of 3 toppings, so I added lychee, taro, and boba. The tart, citrusy nature of it all certainly helped me recharge and rehydrate after so many hours on foot. Service was also super helpful and super quick. Pro tip: food and drink photos are so much more appetizing when you don't hold them up to the frame with your ugly, unsanitary hands, as if to force-feed things to the viewer. Who wants to eat or drink something that someone's bare hands - which have picked noses, scratched buttcracks, and touched G*d knows what else - have massaged all over? Moreover, focus on the food and drink itself and skip the distracting backgrounds. #keepituseful #keepitclassy #keepitsanitary

Came here and ordered a couple of drinks to go. Nice cool place. I ordered the black oolong tea and plum green tea both with boba. The oolong tea was very refreshing as well as the plum green tea. Although I will say it took me a minute to get used to the sweet/sour taste of the the latter. If you like tamarind, then you'll love this drink because it tastes just like that for me (maybe wven a little more sour than tamarind). It's a very refreshing drink on a hot day!

Kind of surprised with the rating... the boba wasn't very soft and the drink itself was pretty watery. Maybe their fruit teas are better? Unfortunately when we went they had ran out of orange. Maybe if I come back I'll get one of the fruit teas....

Mango green tea: Has a good flavor for the drink and it was refreshing. i really liked the mango star jelly addition which made it a ton better so I would choose that for the topping. Bubble milk tea: This drink was very bland and not flavorful. i didn't like how the boba pearls had very little brown sugar syrup flavor and the drink was just really bland overall. Lychee jasmine green tea: By far, their best drink i've tried. get this with the mango jelly.

First sip I wasn't a big fan. About 1/3 through I thought it's not too bad. I got a milk tea with taro bubbles. The milk tea had a slight astringent taste commonly associated with tea but it had none of the relevant tea fragrance. There's an overlaying milk flavor that is reminiscent of Coco's milk tea. Not a big fan of the somewhat mushroomy milk aftertaste but it's not a strong note. The taro bubbles were chewy and sweet. They really carried the whole drink. Service was fast and got my drink within 3 minutes. Recommend getting the taro bubbles with something that is not the regular milk tea.

After seeing the brand on social media for the longest time, I made sure to venture here after work to have a try! The "Ask Our Staff for Drink Recommendations" note on the menu shows how friendly and passionate the brand is, and I was able to learn the difference between the drinks through asking the worker questions. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the Lychee Jasmine Green Tea ($6) with White Honey Bubble ($0.75). I guess I should have inquired more into the sugar level as the drink tasted really watered down. I am not sure if adding more sugar would have even helped too, because there was no distinct lychee taste or much flavor in general. The Honey Bubbles had the same texture as typical black bubbles, but slightly sweeter. I wish free toppings came with the drink as the fruit tea alone was simply not worth the price. I tried their Small Taro Ball Milk Tea, and it was way better. It was cheaper and came with taro balls which tasted like small mochis! With so much bubble tea competition, I was disappointed the fruit tea at Dragon Tea couldn't compare. There weren't any distinguishable drink options off the menu that lures me to come specifically here again either.

Came here after grabbing pizza for lunch since we were in the area and I was craving boba. This was the first boba spot we came to on our trip so I was really looking forward to it. I got the Bubble Milk Tea - 5.75 and it wasn't worth it. It tasted watered down - like there was ice in it but it had all melted bc it was sitting out for too long. Which might have been the case - the people that ordered in front of me got some sort of matcha blended drink and I saw them making it and it took a few mins. After I ordered, my drink was ready in like less than a minute, which leads me to believe it was pre-made. While the tea wasn't worth it, the boba tasted great! It was the perfect texture and was slightly sweet. If you do come here, I'd advise on trying a different drink.

This review is specifically for their traffic light drink. I had to stop by and try it because in my mind I was so curious as to how the combination of matcha, orange juice, and grapefruit would turn out. I was hoping for something refreshing and citrusy, but not too sweet. You can't adjust the sweetness of this drink, but upon trying it it was just perfect. Tangy and sweet with a slight aftertaste of matcha. Works surprisingly well!

UPDATE: I appreciate the response below (I don't know how to reply other than to update this review). I will continue to support the business regardless of the isolated instance. I understand how hard it can be during this time, so no need for free drinks but the gesture is appreciated. Original review: I like the tea here and am a regular customer, but on a Sunday they only have one girl working, and a line of customers. The issue is the girl has probably been instructed to take everyone's orders so as not to lose the business. But this comes at the expense of anyone who's already placed their order, like me. She took two orders, including the lady behind us, started making the stuff, and then stopped MIDWAY to stop and take like eight other people's orders. Are you freaking kidding me? Having to explain that she's out of boba and then run down the entire list of what they DO have takes time, especially when everyone has to ask a thousand questions about what each type of available bubble is like. Whoever owns this joint needs to staff two people at one time because this one order of three bubble teas took like 25 minutes to receive when I was the first person in line. -------------------- Here's what I used to do as a bartender and owner for ten years as a younger person: Pause to acknowledge new customers with a "I'll be right with you" or "I'll be with you shortly." That way everyone feels seen, understands it's a single person handling a big stream of orders, and most sane people should be patient enough to wait their turn. Just my two cents.

The staff is very nice and talked to my mom as she was explaining that she was bring it to me in a 3hr drive to my college. She was recommended to get jelly instead (in which she doesn't know I don't like jelly but she tries) of bubbles as they wouldn't make the journey which is heartbreaking . I got the Plum Jasmine Green Tea definitely can taste the note of plum not really the jasmine. It was very favour full and not watered down at all. Got it 30% sugar which in turn way to sweet ‍t the Thai Iced tea is not too sweet at 50% which I like it's also yummy The star shaped jelly is really cute. Just not a fan of jelly and rather a boba addict. If I was to get something again I would get it 0% sugar so I can add my own if needed.

The brown sugar fresh milk tea doesnt default the sugar level to be in the middle and so when the cashier asks make sure you tell them a level because I made the mistake today, assuming like other bubble tea places, that the normal sugar amount was 70%. It was not, now I'm just drinking plain milk with bubbles in it, no brown sugar at all, it's honestly gross and a waste of money, 7$ for whole milk and some bubbles... def not worth. Seems kind of dumb to put a drink like this on the menu tbh

Ngl, I live and die for gong cha, and after trying this place... it's actually better tbh. The bubbles are sweet and squishy and the bubble tea almost feels like it's coating the inside of your mouth. Definitely coming here over the other bubble teas around here, well for bubble tea only, the slushees are a bit overpriced, I'll just stick to gong cha for slushees

I was here a while ago before going to a dinner at Schilling (yelp.com/biz/schilling-n… , yes I had tea before going to a heavy Alsatian dinner because reasons.) While I was quite thirsty, I happen to pass by this place and as I'm a big fan of taro so I went with the medium side milk tea with taro balls. The tea flavor was good do perhaps a bit too light for my liking especially at the lower sugar level I chose compared to some of the best places. On the other hand, the taro was outstanding and if they use a similar quality for their taro milk, I would go back in a heartbeat (I really hope it's not powder in this case.) The tea itself is probably maybe a mid 3 (definitely better than the trash that is Vivi and more comparable to Kung Fu) but the taro balls here are a good 4.5. Really unsure if they make them in house but if they do I would go back just to buy them alone. Not the best milk team I've had but definitely helped by the taro and definitely not overly sweet which is a good thing.

Stumbled upon it and had high expectations for this since it had good reviews on google. I ordered the fresh milk tea with oat milk and taro balls. It tasted and looked watered down. The tea flavor was barely there and it was just disappointing. I don't think I'll ever come back.

honestly one of the better boba places I've found in ny. the boba was SO CHEWY and sweet and the perfect texture (if you like soft boba, this is on the harder side). the tea itself wasn't really sweet (i got half sweet, half ice), so if you like your drinks sweet, i'd go for regular 100% (i usually get 25% or 30%). overall, will try it again !!!

my friend brought me here to as dessert for after dinner. it was one of the only bubble tea spots i haven't had before and i get why. the store itself was cluttered and the teas were mediocre; nothing special. i got the lychee and my friend got the chocolate milk - she stated she had the fruit teas before and didn't recommend them either and the only milk tea we wanted to try wasn't even available. anyways, overall, pretty watered down, probably will only come back because it's one of the few bubble tea places in the area...

Not really impressed. Sure, Dragon Tea isn't bad by any means. But New York has way more other options that are better. I had the milk tea while my companion had a passion fruit green tea. Both with tapioca pearls. My milk tea was okay. The passion fruit green tea was definitely more on the sweeter side. My chief complaint is that the passion fruit green tea had way more ice compared to my milk tea. Ice level customizations here are more detailed. Usually bubble tea shops just offer three options: Extra ice, less ice, or no ice. Dragon Tea offers ice level customizations based on a percentage starting at 100% and descending/ascending by 25% increments. The max ice level if I recall correctly is 150%. Ice level customizations isn't significant to me, but I guess it's nice to have more options.

Walked by this bubble tea shop and finally decided to try it! We got the bubble milk tea and strawberry lemonade and they were honestly both really good! For the bubble milk tea, you can really taste the tea flavor and it's not watered down which I like. I love the strawberry lemonade one in that it's so refreshing. For someone who always go for the tea flavor drinks, the strawberry lemonade was certainly a nice change. Highly recommend this place if you're looking to check out a new bubble tea spot!

Dragon tea was super impressive, we tried the Thai tea and the brown sugar milk with bubble. Thai tea met expectations, the brown sugar milk exceeded expectations. It was perfect at 30% sweet, with chewy brown sugar pearls and high quality whole milk. It rivaled tiger sugar, which is probably the best I've had. Would highly recommend giving this a try, one of the best I've had in NYC

I go here every time I'm in the area - or even go out of my way to grab it when I'm not in the area because the taro balls are la flaaaaaaameeeee (means they're good). I don't get anything else other than the Taro Ball Milk Tea so it's solely based off that. I'm from CA and lived in the Bay Area and LA, the capital of Boba! And I'll go on record saying the Taro Boba are THE BEST I EVER HAD (Drakes voice). The only issue I have is the last time I went the associate wouldn't allow me to tip. I asked her why can't I tip and they replied very cautiously as the owner of the store was sitting there hawking over them, 'oh we can't accept it' Let the Kids eat bro! It's NYC and it's expensive af! What is it to you if they get tips or not? Once they allow the employees to receive and keep tips I'll move to 5 stars.

Hi Moe Thank you for the review ! :) We treat all of our staff extremely fair. When you receive tips in New York City there is a lower minimum wage, Where the staff would make much less on an hourly rate including tips. The staff makes more getting a higher hourly rate. Many people are unaware of the different minimum wage when receiving tips. I hope this helps you get a better idea of how we run our shop and are extremely fair to the employees. Looking forward to making your next drink ! Dragon Tea

I live a block over from this place and surprisingly went for the first time since I moved over the weekend. This is dangerously close to me. They have so many great choices, some are unique and some are classic. I tried some new, something I usually wouldn't go for and that was Plum Jasmine Green Tea. It was sweet and tangy. I did enjoy it but next time around I'll ask for less sugar. My roommate got the Thai tea bubble tea which was great too - a classic done correctly.

[NYC BOBA TOUR STOP #15] I took a train all the way down here to get this boba after being enticed by the great reviews and the taro ball lure. ...And I am very pleased to say that I loved the taro balls! You could actually taste the taro that was in them, and they had a firm and chewy consistency that I usually look for in boba. The drinks themselves were really beautiful- I loved the general aesthetic of the store, and the prices cannot be beat, especially in the current boba environment when every drink seems to be at least $6. We got the Traffic Light Drink with Taro Balls (1/5 - please do not get this), Taro Ball Milk Tea (4/5), Passionfruit Jasmine Green Tea with 3 Toppings (3.5/5) My taro ball milk tea was tasty; their milk tea has a bit of a roasted flavor to it that made it unique, and you already KNOW I love those taro balls, but unfortunately, the other drinks were not as great as I hoped they'd be. My dad got the passionfruit jasmine green tea, and one of the toppings in it is some kind of strange crunchy seed thing? When you bite into it, you can really hear that crunch in your ear. My dad said that it got to the point where he didn't want to eat them and had to stop drinking every time he tasted one. And now... the traffic light drink. This is one of their bestsellers, probably because it looks so pretty (I mean... look at her. It makes sense), but the taste, guys. My sister dubbed it as one of the worst bubble tea drinks she's ever had (and I'd have to agree). It was so so bitter, and the flavors just did not go well together at all. We ended up having to throw it out after each of us took one sip. Of the drinks we tried, we'd recommend the taro ball milk tea! *Check out a full review of this shop and all the boba stores I went to here: victoriawritesstuff.wixs…!

I love them here. The taro fresh is made with real tarp and tastes like it should (kinda like a vanilla sweet potato, debate your mother) and not so sweet and artificial. I also like the different kinds of bubbles they use. My biggest reason for giving five stars, they still give a community vibe. I live in the area, and we're absolute swamped by tourists. They still recognize me (mask and all) know my order and lemme know when there's new things to try (I'm always open to new things, but I always come back to their famous Taiwanese tea!) & over all its just a dope space. Super clean. The owner is super nice; you'd never guess who it is because he's just back there getting the drinks ready with everyone else. & the customer service is top tier. I recommend them, especially if you want to try real bubble tea. It's not powdered, lol.

Such an amazing find and close to work! They have almond milk and the option of 1/2 boba, 1/2 taro which was perfect on a hot day in summer! Thank you all so much for making my drink exactly how I like it, not too sweet, and with just the right amount of toppings :)

We were melting after bringing my family from the Statue of Liberty to Ground Zero. Discreetly tucked away on Greenwich, we were intrigued by the line and flavors. Only thing was they ran out of boba - how does a boba place run out of boba?! We got the white honey boba instead which were the same texture and it was nice to try something else. Bonus: you can customize the sweetness and ice of your drink in 25% increments (0, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%). And they have a rewards program - buy 10 get one free. Am definitely coming back - please restock plentiful boba this summer :)

we placed an order on seamless for over 20 drinks to be delivered, we got the delivery and the drinks were good but there were NO STRAWS. so we called the store and asked them to send some straws, but the girl who picked up said we checked off no for utensils so she didnt pack straws. not sure where the miscommunication was because when we looked back at out receipt, THERE WASNT ANYWHERE THAT SAID NO UTENSILS. anyway, i said that mustve been a mistake, please send some straws and she agreed. we never got the straws.

Okay so I've been here so many times during the pandemic and never left a review. I live like 45 minutes away by train and yet I make my way all the way to dragon tea because I LOVE it. Their lychee jasmine green tea is fantastic and is great paired with the white honey boba. It's a perfect refreshing drink any time. I also love their taro ball milk tea but you can amp it up by getting mixed bubbles! This will be sweet with three toppings but you can lower the sugar of the milk tea. The taro balls are a bit of a gritty chewy texture but it really grew on me the more I had it. Dragon tea is honestly the best and I really want them to do well :) you can also pop by next door at BaoBao cafe for some great noodles and popcorn chicken. It's the perfect pairing for a date or just to hang out with a friend or two.

Solid boba and good people that run this shop. The shop is a bit isolated, but can be good if you work around the area. The prices for the boba is a bit high, but at the same time, the customers are most likely Wall St bankers, so the supply demand curve is met. They have 2 good 2 stay orders which you should definitely check out if you want a cheaper alternative to their normal boba drinks.

I come here a lot with my friend, we have the reusable straws and the cup holder. Love it! The straws $8 so very expensive for a straw, but cute! Tip: ask for the chocolate boba tea and the manager will make it for you. It's on the secret menu. Overall the boba is always fresh although they run out sometimes but they still have the honey ones. Lots of flavors to pick from and nice place! The manager is very nice!

My boyfriend was raving about Dragon tea for the longest time, so my expectations were pretty high. Thank goodness it lived up to the expectation. When we entered the shop we were greeted by a friendly worker, who radiated positive energy that made our experience in Dragon Tea that much better. Since we went on a day when the building had a problem with their water, we weren't able to try toppings other than the taro balls, but I really didn't mind because that was the topping I wanted anyways. We both ordered the Jasmine Milk Green tea with taro balls, one hot and one cold. I loved the taro balls in the drinks and it wasn't too sweet. I can't wait to go back to try the other drinks!

Was craving boba after eating at Clinton Hall (a block away), we found this super cute and friendly boba place! They are apparently a brand that originated in Taiwan, and they have stores all over the world, but it's my first time hearing of them and was very excited to try. They had a variety of toppings but we got milk tea w mini taro balls, and milk tea with crystal boba and brown sugar boba. I liked mine with mini taro balls a lot, the boba was cooked perfectly, and the sweetness level was on point. Would def come again for their taro balls milk tea!
