Thanks for your feedback but I’m afraid what you wrote is not true because we have everything recorded on cameras and there were several witnesses when you were here. You said you were debating between matcha and coffee. We said our matcha is unlike Starbucks as it’s made of real matcha and it will be bitter. You said it’s fine you wanna try it. Then you came back to complain about the bitterness (why?) so we offered to add extra sugar to sweeten it for you. You said NO. We said why don’t we add more milk to make it milkier, you said NO. Because we made absolutely no mistake here, we are trying to be nice and offer you a 20% discount on your next drink, you said NO and got in the way for our customers to order. So we gave you our best offer to 50% off. You said NO. All you want is a drink free for your own mistake. We really have no time for BS like this. There’s so much more good customers that we are willing to serve but you. You also blocked the customers behind you so they couldn’t order their drinks to a point where our customers felt the need to step into our conversation and you called her bi**h. You are truly one of (if not the) worst customers we’ve every dealt with. We are more than happy to give your business away to other cafes. Beware, our fellow cafes.

I was surprised to see how expensive they were for such a small storefront. I ordered a chocolate bubble tea and two chocolate mini snacks, which came to over $12.00. I will not be back I was thinking of giving them three stars because their employees were friendly, but remembered that I writing an overall review of the tea house. Mgt better take a look at their pricing policies. Bottom-line: OVERPRICED

I was pretty disappointed here in terms of the flavor of my drink. I tried the lavender rose milk tea and I don't know why but i just couldn't taste those flavors... maybe it was the tres leches milk or something but some ingredient felt very pungent in an off putting way. I love the ambiance with the globe on the wall and I like the idea of having a global range of teas highlighting different countries and cultures but I don't think the tea itself spoke to me.

My favorite bubble tea spot in Astoria. Staff are always super friendly and helpful, my usual drinks are: Taro Frap with Bubble or the Sakura Rose Frap with Bubble. I finally got to try their cheesecake, which usually sells out in a day. I grabbed a slice of the Rose cheesecake with Rose Jelly & the Taro cheese cake with Mango Jelly - which really had little chunks of mango in it. Both were delicious

Update: We came back here again and this place made my girlfriend happy again! The Lavender Rose Milk Tea tasted pretty similar to the Sakura Rose Milk Tea but the Lavender one had more of a chai taste to it and the Sakura one was more sweet which I preferred more. I also got the Hong kong style coffee milk tea which I thought was better than the Earl Grey milk tea. Definitely gonna come back here to try more drinks. Stayed tuned people.

Got the sakura rose milk tea and the lavender rose milk tea. I got minimal sugar and it wasn't too sweet unlike other boba places that are crazy sweet even with reduced sweetness. I can definitely taste the hint of sakura but my favorite has got to be the lavender rose milk tea. The lavender wasn't too overpowering but still noticeable. Boba isn't very sweet but has good texture. I'm a bigger fan of honey boba and a sweeter boba taste, but I can see how some people might just want the sweetness from their own drink. Staff is great and very friendly. Participated in their 3 year anniversary raffle and got a free drink. Seating is limited -- about 9 seats ( 3 x pairs and a counter of 3) Will definitely be back. This place is so cute.

If you want non-powder high quality bubble tea then you've come to the right place. I watch them make my Sakura Milk Tea with bubbles and there was absolutely not powder involved but it tasted like there was. I love rose milk tea and when I asked barista to make it extra rosey and sweet she recommended the sakura one! Now I'm hooked. Looking forward to going again! Surprised that there's no wait here and it's not too busy. Their bubbles are chewy with good mouth feels! I can feel that the owner and baristas care about their bubble tea and make it with real ingredients. I ended up finishing my drink at the Thai restaurant across the street and then coming back to Teapsy for another Sakura Milk Tea right before they closed. It was that good!

I'm obsessed with the teas here. My husband and I walk here 2-3 times a week for the lavender rose tea with lychee jelly, and recently had the coconut strawberry milkshake. The prices are a LITTLE higher than most bubble tea spots (think Starbucks prices), but the quality of the product and neat number of combinations make the price point tolerable.

I love this place! I've already completed one stamp card and I'm almost done with the second. Goes to show how much I love this place. The workers that attend me are friendly & have no issue explaining what certain drinks taste like (like if it's a strong flavor, more floral than fruity, similar to another flavor, etc.). I love how the moment I walked in one day, the guy at the register told me the guava yogurt drink I've been dying to try out was finally in stock. (Sorry, you'd think I'd know their names by now bc of all the times I've been here.) Was the guava yogurt drink worth the wait? In my opinion, YES. It's different from the other fruity drinks I've had, and it's not an overpowering sweet taste, but you can still taste a guava flavor. It'll be one of my go to flavors when the weather gets warmer, for sure. But my absolute favorite tea that was recommended is the peach hibiscus. Hot or cold, it tastes SO GOOD. The tapioca is also made perfectly. Not too chewy, not too hard, not overly sweet, not plain, not bitter-- just right. I have yet to try the other toppings, but I'll get there. I'll try it all some day. The bf approves of the jasmine milk tea (hot and cold), and he says it's just as good (possibly even better) than Ten Ren's jasmine milk tea. I appreciate the fact that any drink that is made with milk can be subbed with oat, almond, soy, or coconut milk. I'm never there on time to taste the muffins or other baked pastries, but the one time that I was-- the blueberry muffin was moist & the right amount of sweet. 10,000 stars for you, Teapsy.

Simple place that sells drinks(bubble tea) and a few selection of pantries. I saw some great reviews online as well as on Yelp but I would never come to a conclusion of a such disappointment. I got the Sakura Rose Milk tea with 25% sugar. That was the recommended drink on the menu. I mean it was quite expensive which was around $5 for a small similar to the price in Manhattan. It had really strong tea and rose flavor but a bit too milky. It was good until I felt a sandy feeling in my mouth. It was from the huge amount of undissolved sugar left on the bottom of the drink. Either the person that made it wasn't in the mood or the drink was made like this. Regardless, I don't think I will return to this shop after this experience since there are so many other bubble tea shops out there. If you are in Astoria, Tea and Milk will be much better.

Absolutely love this small bubble tea shop in Astoria. An easy hop from the 30th Street station, the Teapsy serves a variety of delicious milk teas that really hit the spot for my boba addiction. My favorite is the Oolong Milk Tea with boba, 25% sugar and less ice, but you'll have to ask for it because it's not on their menu. The only downside of this place is the high prices, but the taste of good enough to keep it from losing a star for that reason alone. Highly recommend for any boba lover who finds themselves in Astoria. This is the place to go.

First time visiting here today, though I've been curious about this place for a while now. I was pleasantly surprised with this small shop. I had ordered the Rose Milk Tea and their Taro Milk Tea, let me just say..... With the first sip of the Rose Milk Tea (L $6.20) I think I died and went to heaven, it was like falling into a milky bath of rose petals (...I would have happily drowned ;))!!! :D the floral element was very apparent which was great since a lot of other places dull it. The Taro Milk Tea (R $5.60, tapioca extra $0.60) was good too, although I would say the taste experience was closer to your average Taro variety. I like that their tapioca has a slightly chewy centre too :) I would have loved to have stayed sipping on my tea since the interior had well-spaced seating, even with my baby in his stroller. I loved the map on the wall showing which teas were from where too. The staff that served me was very helpful and knowledgeable when offering recommendations. I'll definitely be back for more :D

Oohhhh I'm downgrading my review, b/c I found a place that's better! I've also noticed that Teapsy's bobas are not reliably good - sometimes they're too hard, sometimes they're a little too mushy, sometimes it's not sweet, etc. When they're good, they're great - but it's not as reliable anymore. I ordered a taro 50% sweet the other day, and it was actually kinda bitter and gross. Hate to say it, but this is just not my go-to place anymore.

I am in love with the Sakura Rose, milky bubble tea! It's sweet, creamy and delicious. They say that it will only be available for a limited time. :(. I'll have to come back a few more times during the spring season to enjoy! Yummmm.

I've visited Teapsy several times now and I was pleasantly surprised by the good quality of their teas even when served at closing time. They have a solid selection of teas on the menu, good toppings, and even have a pastry case and snack shelf with a fair selection in case you get hungry. So far I've only tried their milk teas with less sugar. Earl grey, coffee milk tea, original milk tea, and even the strawberry milk tea are excellent choices. The service here is excellent and I always see the same friendly faces. The interior is clean and they also have a stamp card reward system. My main critique for now is the logo and menu. I think it is an odd pairing for their brand. The interior is bright and interesting but the logo and menu is dark blue and orange, and in my opinion, doesn't really reflect their brand as well as it could. The menu pamphlet was a little strange as it reminds me of a full service restaurant menu as opposed to a quick service tea shop menu. It's a lot of contrasting themes. Maybe in the future we can see a more unified theme, but it's not really a deal breaker to me. As noted in other reviews, there is no bathroom and they do take credit cards (minimum $5). Definitely give it a try if you want to have some good milk tea in Astoria!

One of my favorite places to frequent when I come back home! Great customer service-- friendly, patient, will explain a drink or suggest a new one! Awesome ambiance-- upbeat softer music, great natural light, and nice size tables to just enjoy a drink or get a little work done. They have a rewards card they stamp each visit so the tenth one is free :D. It's a delicious game to your free drink lol Highly recommended

Love The Teapsy! As there's not much options for bubble tea in Astoria and the neighboring neighborhoods that sell high quality boba other than Elmhurst/Woodside. They have a variety of flavors and different jelly options, including mango and strawberry jelly add-ons. Usually there isn't a big wait or a lot of people as it seems that bubble tea isn't that popular in Astoria. Service is on point and price range is decent for New York standards. Currently my favorite tea/drink spot in the neighborhood. Try their milk teas! Flushing standard approved! Credit card accepted. No bathroom. Small tables. Don't forget to collect your stamps for a free drink and fame in their binder of regulars! Drink up!

I often went there for matcha, and sometimes for buuble teas. Their bubble teas have been nothing but great (I usually get 50% sugar). However the quality of matcha has been slowly deteriorating - they seem to add less powder than necessary and/or not mix it enough. My last matcha drink today tasted like sweetened green milk with matcha clumps on the bottom. Anyway, I understand that everybody messes up on occasion, but it has been slowly growing into a tendency. Once again, the drinks and service there has been generally pretty good and I hope Teapsy gets back to normal soon:)

Thanks for your feedback. We use home made pure cane sugar simple syrup so it’s less sweet than artificial fructose. We totally understand that everyone has different preferences of sweetness, so next time please just ask us to add more sugar to suit your taste until you are satisfied with the sweetness. We are famous for creating custom drinks that are made to your liking.

I ordered the standard milk tea with extra sugar. I love sweet bubble tea (like Kung Fu Tea) so I added the sugar. It was still not that sweet. The quality of the drink and boba is good but just know that it is not very sweet.

We appreciate that you like our “good” drinks. We are here to sell quality and tasty drinks that we are proud of, not to provide a public bathroom, nor do we advertise ourselves to. It’s not our employees’ primary responsibility to help customers find public bathrooms. Our employees were kind enough to direct you to a place where they knew provided a bathroom but they should not be held responsible if that bathroom is no longer open to the public. And let’s be honest and realistic, we all know that not all beverage places in NYC can afford to provide a bathroom. Once again, thank you very much for your feedback but please don’t make a great comment about nothing.

Living in Flushing, I get tons of bubble tea but I was genuinely surprised coming here! The drinks have a strong flavor with the perfect hint of sugar and creamy taste for those with milk options. Tried the lavender rose milk tea, HK coffee milk tea, and peach hibiscus. Peach hibiscus was subtly sweet with strong flavors of peach but you get the after taste of the light herbal tea. Lavender Rose MT is not for the faint of heart for those that aren't floral tea fans. The lavender is strong, but I loved it. (My bf, on the other hand, thinks lavender tastes like soap). Creamy milk tea with a strong floral kick. HK coffee tea is what we order in Chinese bakerys (coffee mixed with tea and half and half). It's a hit or miss sometimes. My favorite bakery even barely gets it right. Either the coffee or the tea is too strong. But the one here was surprisingly perfect. You taste the milk tea and then the kick of coffee after. This is the best HK coffee tea I've had so far. All of the drinks were ordered with regular sugar and ice. A lot of places oversweeten their drinks at regular. I usually have to order it at 70% sugar. But I can happily order this at regular every time. 10/10! I'm impressed!

False advertisement on the free wi-fi. Wi-fi is for Spectrum customers, there is a trial available but only for 30 minutes (the catch is that you have to be connected to wi-fi in order to sign up for the wi-fi - makes total sense). I am new to the Astoria area, and I got excited when I had found a bubble tea spot with free wi-fi near my place. I got there, ordered my Taro Milk Tea with bubbles, asked for the wi-fi and was directed to a sign on the wall indicating to sign in with my Spectrum account. I would've been okay with the lack of free wi-fi, except for the fact that my tea was more tres leches than taro, which again would have been fine, if that's what I was looking for. I'll give it another shot in a couple weeks, but in the meantime leaving with unexpected disappointment.

I got the mango green tea with bubble to go & while the drink itself was pretty good I wish I could've enjoyed it more. By that I mean my car seat, seatbelt, steering wheel and shirt drank it more than I did. There's something seriously wrong with the design of these cups because I know I'm not doing anything wrong. Every time I took a sip out of the straw I would keep the cup upright but it still somehow came out of the sides & land on my shirt. I know this is such a first world complaint but now I've got green tea stains everywhere & only half a drink Onto the drink itself I was expecting the bitter taste of green tea, (which I hate) but this was surprisingly more geared towards the mango flavor, and the green tea didn't detract from it at all. The bubbles were a great addition to this tea! 5 stars for the drink but 2 knocked off for the cup situation. Teapsy PLEASE ORDER CUPS FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER!!!

This has now become my to-go bubble tea place. The first time I came here, I (for some reason...?) didn't see the matcha tea on the menu and so I just assumed they didn't sell any, so I just ordered a random drink (it was really not to my liking). Then after that, about a month later, I returned and just asked for a matcha tea (aka bravest moment). Anyways, I loved and have been returning ever since. Its near my house, so my sister has to drag me away from entering every day. Although a little pricey, it awesome.

This has been my go-to bubble tea place for a year and a half now. They have great tea, great pastries, great atmosphere, great staff and just overall, an amazing establishment. It's a great place to bring people to if you're meeting with friends, on a date, or just simply craving for some boba, tea, coffee or even slushes. It's so addicting that even my cousins from Florida has been craving the tea here because the tea isn't great where he is from compared to other stores there. Even my best friend from Jackson Heights comes all the way to Astoria just to get that craving. It's just THAT good. I have a literal addiction to their tea and have been massively in love with it for the longest time. It's embarrassing to admit how many free drinks I've gotten from the cards and how much I've spent at Teapsy. My only real complaints personally is that the 30th ave station is still closed so I can't get my fix in and that there's not another location near me, but it's just more so me being lazy If you're ever in Astoria and a fan of bubble tea, check out Teapsy. It'll definitely replace your usual location the first sip you take. (definitely recommend the Thai iced tea!)

So excellent. Previously, I've had their lychee green tea and earl grey milk tea with boba, both of which were wonderful. Today, I tried the tres leches rose milk tea with boba. The super friendly ladies who made the tea offered to adjust the sweetness level or make other changes if I didn't like it. Nope, it was perfect. The sweetness level was spot-on for my preference. I LOVE rose-flavored things, so I'd probably like the drink no matter what, but here I loved how the strong floral notes balanced out the sweetness. And finally, the boba was perfectly chewy -- not soggy, as is the case at some milk tea spots. The menu's a little bit confusing, as there's a lot going on, but this is not a terrible problem to have. I definitely want to try more of their 'around the world' menu, which features teas from Hong Kong, South Africa, the UK, and the Philippines. The calamansi tea sounds pretty unique! Update from literally the next day: I am now officially hooked. I tried the roobois milk tea from South Africa today and was blown away. I'd forgotten how enjoyable roobois is. I love its earthy, root-like undertones. I'd put it in the same general category as birch beer and those earthy vodkas that they make in Iceland. Anyway, the person working the counter - whose name I need to learn! - helpfully recommended that I add pudding instead of tapioca. She was so right! The sweet, absorbent pudding added some decadence to the tea. I can't wait to come back and try even more flavors. Hoping the best for this business along with all of the businesses along 30th Avenue, which are suffering due to the complete 8-month shutdown of our subway stop.

Stop what you're doing right now and try Teapsy's teas and frappes. I was browsing yelp for other spots that carry rose tea and bookmarked this spot to try out. After a stressful meeting with my accountant and realizing I was getting pennies back from the good old government I knew I needed to treat myself to something good. Let's just say Teapsy made my day. I ordered the Sakura Rose Frappe (of course) and the boyfriend ordered the Earl Grey Milk Tea. When I took one sip my mood changed from a sad little puppy to the happiest girl in the world. If you've read my other reviews, you would know I've been trying a handful of places to see who wins in making the best rose tea. I must say Teapsy is taking a run for my money because their Sakura Rose Frappe is definitely sent from the Gods of Tea Heaven. I took a sip of the Earl Grey Milk Tea and that was enjoyable as well. I definitely want to come back to try those tres leches milk teas as well.

1st time here & we got the chocolate tres leches (mine with mango jelly) but it honestly didn't have much of a chocolate flavor. It was still good though. I pretty much love any coffee or tea that has whipped cream on top. I didn't get much of a tres leches flavor tbh either. I'm gonna go back to try some of the other drinks on the menu though. The service was good. The employee was really informative & polite. The Rose Chai Latte was $5.45 with lychee jelly. It was pretty good. The Ginger Tea Latte is good. It's sweet & zesty. I got it with the Gingerbread Man on the side which came out to be $7.45 in total.

This place needs more love! Honestly the prices reflect the quality. Truly one of the best tres leches I've ever had. The staff is always so gracious and kind. The other night they were testing this lavender milk and it was UNBELIEVABLE! Please put that on the menu! I have only had coffee based beverages here and they've always been great.

This is a small little pop in bubble tea spot in Astoria. I got the mango milk tea, which I would recommend not getting because it literally takes like syrup was just added into the drink to make it taste like mango. It tasted so artificial. This place gets 3 stars from me just because I tried the original milk tea as well, which is quite delicious. If you're sticking to the classic, I recommend this place, but otherwise I wouldn't.

I made the trek to Astoria/LIC in hopes that I could try the limited edition McDonalds Szechuan sauce and Chip NYC cookies. The McDonalds line was ridiculously long, Chip was closed for expansion. I spent 30 minutes looking for parking and paid for 45 Minutes of meter, so I wasn't going to leave empty handed. My friends and I decided to go here cause it was across the street from Chip. The exterior of this place gave us doubts, but at that point, we had nothing to lose and walked in. The inside was very modern and clean. My friends and I got the Strawberry Tres leches milk tea, England Earl Grey milk tea, and Lychee Green Tea with tapioca. Hands down the best bubble tea I had in my life. I usually don't like tapioca but this place was bomb. It was so soft and chewy. I also loved how the tea wasn't loaded with sugar and the perfect amount of sweetness. I can't believe that I lived my life settling for Kungfu Tea and Cocos. My Taiwanese friend also gave approval for this place as the best bubble tea she had outside of Taiwan. This place made our sad day worthwhile. Would return even if I wasn't in the area!

This tiny bubble tea shop in Astoria, NY serves up some awesome bubble tea. They offer bubble tea, lattes, smoothies, hot coffee, hot tea and some pastries. There's also a neat map of the world, displaying where common teas are from. I spotted something I haven't had before, the coffee milk tea from Hong Kong. We ordered one coffee milk tea and 1 black milk tea with bubbles. The black milk tea was good, chewy bubbles, no off flavors and classic preparation. Now onto the unknown, the coffee milk tea. I've long known that tea paired well with coffee, minimizing the crash from the caffeine, but never had it mixed in bubble tea. The flavor was of creamy cold brew and with a delicate herbal note to round it out. I'm hooked. This is my new drink. Thank you Teapsy now come home with me to Maryland please. Atmosphere: 4/5 Food/drink: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Overall: 5/5

Cute shop with so many options! The lightbulb containers is what first caught my eye. Went in and they had the light bulbs for sale for a menial price! (I forget if it was ~1.50? ) but the total with a peach and passion fruit bubble tea with the light bulb came out to be $11.50 (5.75 each). The lightbulb I was told if you bring back to reuse you can get discounts on your futures purchases so good incentive to come back! The tea tasted very fresh and not fake at all. I would definitely come back to try the other flavors!

I've just moved to Astoria from the Flushing area and was excited to see a bubble tea spot near my new place. I came here with high expectations after seeing the reviews. Unfortunately, I have to give Teapsy 3 stars as the tea is very average. I ordered their earl grey milk tea with bubbles and didn't care for it. The tea was lacking in flavor and the bubbles, while chewy, weren't soft enough. I also found that the bubbles were too heavily sweetened with honey. My sister later tried their tres leches milk tea (but couldn't try the bubbles as those weren't ready at opening time) and wasn't too impressed either. The shop name is cute, the interior is nice, and the staff are friendly which is why I give this spot 3 stars. But I can't believe that they charge such a high price for a mediocre drink--my large early grey milk tea with bubbles came out to be $6.25! In Flushing you can get something much better for less than $5. I don't expect things in Astoria to cost the same as those in Flushing but if they are going to charge more, they should at least match it in quality.

Seriously the best bubble tea shop in NYC, these guys definitely know how to brew a perfect cup and have some amazing flavors you can also mix and match different teas with flavors, their service is quick, friendly and welcoming. I know there are a lot of other places with big names and big social media followings but the quality is sometimes lacking in certain areas. They don't pre make any of their mixes each drink is made to order to your liking. The amazing owners are always around to have a nice chat and see that you're being taken care of and even make the orders themselves. This little place is a great addition to the Astoria scene since it doesn't have many "bubble tea" shops. It's geared towards one type of crowd or strictly a bubble tea shop, everyone is welcome and they even have amazing coffee, ice coffee, and frappes. The England - earl grey tea with their signature tres leche milk is one of the best tea combos I ever had. You should definitely check them out you won't be disappointed. They use REAL TEA in all of their drinks compared to a lot of other shops throughout the city.

The Teapsy is a very cute bubble tea cafe in Astoria. While they do much of the traditional bubble tea, they also have a more diverse menu that lets you explore teas from different countries. When I came in, there was only one man working, which was more than enough because it was not busy at all and he actually made the tea very quickly. I ordered the earl grey milk tea, which their map showed was from England. I didn't get any boba so I can't comment on how the boba tasted but the tea itself was great. They also offer many milk alternatives for those who are dairy free along with light bulb cups for those of you who want an instagram worthy tea. My only complaint is the price of the tea. $1.25 to upgrade from a medium to a large? I ended up paying $5.75 for some tea, which is a little much.

I have decided to resurrect my long-dead Yelp account just to review this establishment. This tea shop in Astoria caught my eye because I happened to be craving a taro milk tea. Many times, taro milk tea is really just purple sugar milk and I am constantly disappointed, but I figured why not give it a shot? Teapsy has a selection of unique teas, but I selected a taro milk tea smoothie. It wasn't the cheapest I have ever had... but it was worth it. There was ACTUAL TEA IN IT! And you could TASTE THE TEA!

Filled the boba shaped whole in my heart. You get a really large portion of drink for a good price. They also allow you to pick your sweetness and milk amount so customizing is very easy. They are fast and always polite. I've never had a bad experience here.

The Short: My favorite boba place in astoria/long island city! Decently priced about $3-4 a drink. Guava green tea or Guava yogurt green tea are my go to drinks. Good tea flavor and not too sweet! The Long: Since moving to Long Island City, my wife and I have been in search for good boba nearby. Unfortunately there are none in LIC itself, but we will make the trek to Astoria for Teapsy! My preferred boba drink is not too sweet or creamy and has good tea flavor and this place is just that! (For a reference, kung fu tea milk teas are too creamy for me). What also sold me is that they have good fruit flavors. I've rarely seen guava flavors anywhere and it's one of my favorite fruit flavors. Needless to say this place fits the type of boba that I like and enjoy. They also have a number of other flavors and unique drinks, but I have not tried them at all. There is also usually a daily special for $2.50, but their prices are fair compared to other places that are $5-6 for a drink. Also they have stamp cards which is a plus!

As it says in the window, they seemingly use real tea, real sugar, real ingredients. That legitimately makes a difference. The quality of their tea is demonstrably different, very obviously better than any other bubble tea place I've ever tried. Quite literally. I like bubble tea, I am not a very difficult person to please. If you put sugar in a drink I will like it. However, somehow the flavor of real tea absolutely comes through here, like they really made the tea instead of just putting in some tea bags and mixing in some kind of flavoring. It's like they brewed tea and then ground up real fruit and sugar and put that in a drink and added boba. That's how good this place is. I don't even like tea! Yet somehow when I tasted theirs, even when it wasn't so sweet, I still loved it! And yes you can tell them how sweet you want your drink. Or leave it up to them, and actually their sweetness ratio is quite nice. I already filled up 2 frequent customer cards.

My friend and I came here this week to try their drinks. I had the matcha latte which is made with matcha (green tea powder), tres leches milk, and cane sugar. I liked that their matcha powder was very fine and not at all grainy. But I think the tres leches milk was too sweet for me. You can get this drink iced or hot. I got it iced and I liked that they didn't just fill the whole cup with a ton of ice. The people working here were friendly and tried to recommend us drinks based on what we liked. Would come back to try some of their other drinks!

I'm not typically a fan of tea, but Teapsy offers a variety of interesting and novel flavors that I NEED to try! The baristas are always friendly and willing to help me make a decision when I can't choose between rose or blueberry (the STRUGGGGLE). I usually don't do sweetened beverages either, but these teas are THAT good! Perfect on a day when you just don't want coffee.

5-star review for the tres leche original milk tea. They use very dark tea and milk; I love that they don't use any powder in their drinks. It was so creamy and perfectly sweet. With that said, I'd suggest you skip out on the tapioca since it's not cooked in syrup and has no taste. Texture is average. I also tried the matcha latte drink. It's good if you like thick powdery matcha drinks, great quality matcha. Definitely stop by this place if you're in or near the area. One complaint: I wish their drinks came in large size!! Picky bf's review: very delicious milk tea.

This place is AWWESOME!! I wish they were here when we were living in Astoria! I had their tres leches bubble tea, it was so flavorful and different. Though I should have asked for less sugar. Their tapioca balls had the perfect chewy texture and also had a sweet flavor (so I know they were soaked in syrup beforehand - this is the right way to do it). Now whenever I go to Astoria, I HAVE TO go to Teapsy.

I stumbled upon this place while waiting for a table at a brunch spot near by. Upon walking in I was really drawn in my the simplistic, yet cute décor of Teapsy. They have tons of options in terms of tea flavors, and from all around the world. They even have the light bulb shaped drink containers, which you have to pay an extra dollar for, but every time you bring it back for refill you get 25 cents off your purchase. Yelp check in offered 10% off entire bill. I got the matcha coffee and was pleasantly surprised how well the two flavors blended with one another. I opted out of the tapioca so I cannot comment on that. Overall I really enjoyed my tea and experience here so I will definitely be back whenever I'm in the neighborhood!

I'm by no means a boba aficionado, but when I get hankerings I get HANKERINGS. I recently moved to the area from L.A., so I was curious to see what the milk tea scene had to offer and a quick search told me all I needed to know: A LOT. Maybe even too much. That said, I came into Teapsy mostly on a whim as I was passing through the neighborhood and I'm so glad I did. I ordered a Hong Kong-style coffee milk tea (I'm a big fan of HK-style milk tea to begin with) with no alterations to the sugar, etc. and it was delicious! I usually like drinks on the less sweet side and I've found that many milk tea shops default to being too sweet, but this was pretty close to perfect (and you can taste the tea so you know you're not just drinking syrup)! The coffee comes through beautifully as well--subtle, but you know it's there. It's a clean and modern space with free Wi-Fi, a wide range of menu options (non-dairy milks! many matchas!), and they have a rewards program. And the staff member who helped me was very friendly and knowledgeable. I'll definitely be back!

So glad i stopped by to grab a tea from this new spot on my way just to sit in traffic. There's a huge variety of tea choices and you can customize them on top of that. I got the sangria tea with bubbles and also the mojito tea with bubbles also. Both were so delicious! the bubble are super fun to suck out and eat. they kind of taste like coffee actually. Two teas were about $10, a little pricey but there's an aesthetic to it. I would totally come back here especially in the summer for a nice refresher.

I truly appreciate it when a place has a very chill vibe, great menu, and excellent customer service. This relatively new place meets all those criteria. First, the place is very clean. I really dig the simple decor as well. Second, the menu is really diverse, and is a good competitor for the traditional bubble tea vendors. Even before I read half of it, I knew I would have to come back for another round another day at least. The staff were very friendly, and made my order very quickly. I would highly recommend people check this place out.

The 10% Yelp discount was gladly accepted by the super friendly staffer, making the tasty tres leches taro milk tea (hot) $4.46 (under their $5 card minimum). Sufficient seating in the bright space.

I like the customer service in this place the employees are really friendly and the guy attending us was kind enough to recommend the best sellers. I would definitely recommend this spot for small groups or individuals they give you a free hour of wifi but it's really fair. Main attraction for me was the lightbulb cups really cool p.s. If you bring the lightbulb cup back you get 25 cents of your next drink.

My new favorite bubble tea shop! Their earl grey milk tea is the best I've tried that I really can taste the tea flavor. Beside, their tapioca is always cooked perfectly. Love this place!

Walked past this place and they were advertising a Tres Leche coffee, naturally I had to get one! I'm really glad I did, this coffee was really good and not to mention the two gentlemen that were working were very patient and answered my questions. I will definitely be back to try some tea also!

About 90% of the reason that I decided to come here was the name - how clever! Not knowing what I was getting my self into, I walked in and got overwhelmed by the menu (in a good way). They've got the usual bubble milk teas and coffees, of course, but they also have a lot of unique options - tres leches milk, cocktail-inspired teas, etc. Besides having lactose-free "milk" tea options, they also have an internationally-inspired section of their menu, which was a nice touch. London has the Earl Grey tea, but I was happy too see that there was a Philippine tea that should have a calamansi flavor. They have a pretty large selection, AND they let customize your drink even further - the sweetness level, milk, whatever you add in (boba, coffee jelly, coconut jelly or fruit jelly). So yeah, it took me a long five minute to get my order set. Luckily, the guy at the counter was super friendly and helpful! The drinks came out quick and they gave me a loyalty card. I'll definitely be back to try more!

I have to be honest- when this spot first opened I caught myself thinking "Astoria doesn't need another bubble tea spot", but I had a friend in town who had a bubble tea craving so we stopped by today and I have to say they are a welcomed addition to the area IMO!! All the pros (because there were no cons): -lots of options for fruit teas, milk teas, regional teas, etc -they have non-dairy "milk"-tea options (this is rare in the bubble tea world I've experienced) -control the amt of sugar added to your drink -very friendly staff -clean modern store design that welcomes you to sit and enjoy (with free wifi) -fast -most importantly, delicious! I look forward to coming back, and can see myself coming here often in the summer. The bubble tea scene is surprisingly competitive in Astoria, so I hope they are able to stick around for the long haul, as I think they are something special :) P.S. make sure to get a rewards card so you get a freebie after 10 tea purchases
