Listen up ChaHalo is slept on and is better than Molly Tea!! You must get their famous Jasmine Green Milk Tea (5/5) and you won't be disappointed. Their drink is more floral in Jasmine tea notes and milky that gives it a creamy, smooth finish. It's perfectly sweet aka not too sweet and packed with flavor! This is my favorite boba spot of all time and I love how they have an option of adding on their brown sugar boba that's the perfect consistency of bouncy, chewiness. The quality of this fragrant jasmine green milk tea can't be beat anywhere else. Once you try ChaHalo's Jasmine Green Milk Tea, I promise you it will make Molly Tea's Jasmine Milk Tea taste like water lol...come here for better flavored Jasmine green milk tea and a shorter line! I'm not sponsored lol but I standby my favorite boba tea shop, ChaHalo! read more

ChaHalo - Jasmine Green Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Quick stop for a drink in Chinatown after lunch. I was the first one to order after they opened. Super cute boba shop with the game collab?! The drink came out pretty fast. There's no seatings though just FYI. I got the Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea with Boba with 50% sugar and it was pretty good for a break from walking! The tea is good quality but boba is a tiny bit soggy for my liking. read more

Tried out this new bbt shop in Chinatown, and I was a little disappointed. The menu isn't very big, so there aren't a lot of choices to choose from. The drink I got also wasn't very good... too soap-like. It's Citrus Flavored Black Milk Tea with Cinnamon. I couldn't taste the cinnamon in the bev. There was a fragrant citrusness but it was so overpowering that it wasn't pleasant. Perhaps other drinks are better. I really like the Chinese illustrations on the cups! Interior is small so no tables or seats read more

Love this new addition in Chinatown, which is easily on par with Molly Tea down the block. The floral tea flavors are so fragrant and also served in a triple straw to enhance the flavors. I ordered the signature Black Milk Tea Frappe ($7.99 for large). I like the nutty topping on top of whipped cream for some nice texture and sweetness. Also, service was quick and I got my drink within minutes. If there's a long line at Molly Tea, you're better off coming to ChaHalo instead. Also recommended to get your drink light ice and 70% sugar. read more

ChaHalo - Black Milk Tea Frappe. - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I tried chahalo out today, saw tons of lines over the summer. I asked for a simple order, a bubble milk tea with 30% sugar. They said they cant do 30%, only 50%, fine no biggie. So i change it to 50%. So i watch them make it, i didn't see them put any tea whatsoever, they bring it out, i ask if it had tea, they said no, only milk. After going back and forth trying to find out which exact one on their menu was a regular bubble milk tea, they say a black tea milk frappe with boba. So i order that. I didn't pay attention when they were making it for a sec so didn't notice, when they brought it out. It straight up tasted like watered down super sweet milk with boba, i did not taste even an ounce of tea in there. Drank 20% and tossed the rest, such a waste of money. Ended up going down the street to another bubble tea place for a good one. read more

We were passing by to get dinner and saw a group of people outside. We saw a promo with Fantuan Delivery and decided to try it by ordering through the app. We got their signature Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea which is a cold drink. The drink was fragrant and tea flavor was strong which we like. We chose 70% sweet with light ice and it was just the right sweetness. It took awhile to pickup the drink because there was a lot of people. I saw my order # show up on the screen being prepared but then the # disappeared and didn't show up in the ready for pickup section. However, on the app it said the drink was ready for pickup. This caused the wait to be longer than needed due to the glitch in the system. When I went up to show them the drink was already prepared. The worker apologized for the long wait and was nice, which was appreciated even though it wasn't their fault. Looking forward to trying their other drinks in the future! It's a small little storefront located next to Hay Hay Roasted. read more

They were doing samples outside and I ended up trying them! Love their osmanthus oolong tea and ended up getting it. They are kinda similar to molly tea, except that they have fraps. The wait was 10-20 minutes which is also similar to molly tea. Their drinks are good, and I would definetly revisit for their simple drinks and fraps. Another milk tea competitor joins nyc! read more

Samples were at the front to help people decide - the Osmanthus Oolong Tea was just ok. New - they had a giveaway a couple weeks ago and the line was long, so we came back when it was just a regular crowd. The Jasmine Green milk tea was very fragrant and delicious, though. I do have to try their bubbles next time! read more

This is another bubble tea place that opened up called ChaHalo in Chinatown with the rest of the bubble tea places popping up recently. I went for one of their signature drinks, the osmanthus oolong milk tea in large and iced with light sugar or 30% sugar levels. It's such a good thing bubble tea can be adjusted like that. The osmanthus oolong milk tea was really good and had a great aroma. I can definitely taste the osmanthus flowers. Tasted pretty good with little sugar in it. The straw is very tiny so I got to enjoy the drink better that way. But for some reason the large size seems very small because I ended up finishing it fast regardless of the skinny small straw. The thermo bag they give is reusable and very nice like other bubble tea places. The bad thing is the resealable strip gets very sticky to the point that it is not usable anymore. The lid will not stick and close when it becomes very sticky. Sucks Store is very tiny and has no chairs. It's a tiny place where all the doors are opened to the public. read more

Pretty good milk teas. The tea is fragrant and isn't overpowered by the milk. Tried both osmanthus oolong and black milk tea frappe. The frappe is a good choice if you want something different from your usual Bbtea order. Quality is similar to Molly. There is no seating and the place is small so if there's a lot of people, you might have to wait outside for your drink to be ready. read more

Food: 4.3/5 Service: 4.7/5 Value: 4.5/5 A new boba shop in a sea of options. On the day we visited, they offered free samples of the jasmine and osthmanthus milk teas, which really drew us in. They were also offering bogo the weekend we visited so we got very lucky! Brown sugar boba with jasmine milk tea: the jasmine tea is so fragrant and enjoyable. Combine that's with the decadence of the brown sugar and it creates a nice drink. I recommend 50% sugar and less ice! A great place to stop by and grab a quick boba. The cashier had bit of trouble with understanding English but he just needed me to repeat myself once so not a bit deal but please be patient when ordering! read more

I recommend their Rock Milk Tea and Osmanthus Milk Tea (their most popular). The tea here is very strong and unlike any milk tea I've ever had. Whereas other places, I can distinguish the separate elements of a bubble milk tea in terms of milk, sugar, tea and boba... ChaHalo seamlessly blends the flavors together and it works very well. I would consider one of the best milk teas I've had. read more

Heard about how good the tea quality is here so gave it a try while I was in the area. Their store is small with no seating since it is in Chinatown so it's a very casual order and go style. I ordered the Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea (6.99) large size with less sugar and warm. I ordered at the counter since there is no kiosk. The employee was friendly and helpful. I waited around 10 minutes for our drink because their steamer machine needed time to turn on since we came right when they opened. I guess they felt bad because they gave us a free bag of potato chips when the drinks were ready, which I appreciated since it showed they cared. I really liked the quality of the milk tea. The tea quality is good like I heard and the milk isn't too creamy. The price point was also reasonable for the size and this quality! Their cups are also very good quality and I love the design. I will be visiting another Chahalo in the future! read more

Service: 4.1/5 Food: 3.7/5 Price: $7-$15 $1 charge for oat milk is crazy! I don't mind self-ordering kiosks, but I really hate these giant screens, especially in small shops with tight quarters like this. It's difficult to navigate the screen + why are there so many steps just to order a drink. I didn't really interact with the staff. Drink came out pretty quickly. They are significantly less busy than the Molly down the street. What I Ordered: - osmanthus oolong oat milk tea (warm): light sugar = subtle taste, really milky, unimpressed read more

Pros: - the tea taste is prominent, which I loved - for the size, the price is decent - only tried the 4 signature drinks during the BOGO event so far, but my favorite is the Osmanthus Milk Tea, I really enjoyed the Rock Oolong Milk Tea too - the staff is very friendly and hospitable Cons: - if you choose the 100% sugar, it literally tastes like diabetes, imo Comments: - went on the weekend, Sat and Sun, went around 7/8PM both days - they had a BOGO promotion - small shop, no seating or tables read more

ChaHalo - Osmanthus Milk Tea and Rock Oolong Milk Tea. - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Saw they had a Bogo deal today and decided to give it a shot, Apprently a big brand name in China. Upon arriving, the line was extremely long, good thing is it was moving quick, got to the front in 15-20mins and managed to order a rock oolong milk tea as well as a few others to try. I have to say the flavoring of the tea is good, the tea flavor really stands out which is great. Will definitely come back to try other items. The store front itself is a small hole in the wall spot, a grab and go type of establishment (no seats or much space but they sure know how to make a good tea) read more

Stopped by before and got to sample their tea, jasmine milk tea was good. I bought a couple other drinks, including another popular one that's oolong milk tea but did 30% sugar and it was just ok, probably better with more sugar so next time I'll try 50% or 75%. Orchid scented green milk tea was another one i got and that was skippable. Would increase the sugar level again since 30% wasn't that good. Overall you can taste the tea and it's pretty strong, the sample tasted better than Molly tea for me. Think I just didn't order the right sugar level this time so will give it a try again next time. read more

I stopped by to redeem the coupon I got from their grand opening weekend and luckily was still able to use it. This time I decided to give their lychee osmanthus oolong tea a try. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the drink came with lychee pieces and lychee jelly as I was expecting only the tea. Good for fans of lychee flavored drinks. The lychee added the right amount of sweetness to the drink at 50% sugar. read more

A new boba place replacing an old Vietnamese shop that used to be located here. In all honesty, it just taste like Molly Tea but maybe just a little worse. Their teas didn't exactly stand out. There was a crowd there during the grand opening to try em out but the crowd has mostly faded by now. Service is just as expected with all the other boba stores located in the vicinity. read more

small and new boba shop on Mott street in Chinatown! I get that Chinatown has tons of boba spots but this spot is worth a try. Stopped by and got the recommended osmanthus oolong tea & the rock oolong tea (both hot) and they were much needed in this cold weather! Menu is kinda small for now since it just opened here I guess & no seating inside unfortunately. Ingredients all tasted fresh and they weren't overly sweet. Will stop by again to try their other drink options :) (self service kiosk btw which is what most boba spots have nowadays) read more

Got the orchid green tea with whipped cream and it was pretty good! Nice floral taste and not too sweet. I think it's pretty competitive with similar tea shops in the area. No line as well which is super nice. However, I do wish there was a cap for the drink! Feels weird going around with it all exposed :(. read more

Another popular milk tea shop from China. Small shop with cute interior but only standing room. Ordered one of their top recommendations -- the jasmine green milk tea with brown sugar boba. No wait time when I went on a Monday afternoon. Omg, this was one good bubble tea. The floral aroma of the jasmine tea is distinct and the tea is strong. Drink is super creamy and smooth. So good -- this is what I'd imagine if Molly Tea had boba in their milk tea drinks. I recommend giving ChaHalo a try! read more

They were sampling to you while we were touring through Chinatown and it was like the best oolong tea that we've ever tried so we had to go in. I also ordered an orchid tea, which was also very delicious one of the best teas I've ever had. I love this place. read more

Came here on a weekday when they stop the bogo. The store decoration looks like an Asian boba store from china. The service is really fast. I ordered from the fantuan app. I got the tip 2 sellers from the app. Within 5minutes the milk tea drink was ready. It was really good. I would come back to try grape milk next time. read more

Stopped by ChaHalo and the service was efficient. Rock Oolong Milk Tea (less ice, 70% sweet) * My rating: 7.9/10 -- A solid classic! The oolong flavor really comes through, and the tea-to-milk ratio is nicely balanced. Definitely not one of those overly milky versions where the tea gets lost. * Friend's rating: 2.5/10 --"hurts my head when I drink," in their words Jasmine Green Milk Tea (less ice, 100% sweet) * My rating: 8.7/10 -- I loved this one! The jasmine flavor is fragrant and distinct, and again, the balance between tea and milk is just right. * Friend's rating: 5.5/10 -- Thought it was very milky and surprisingly not too sweet for 100% sugar (they usually go for 50-70%). Osmanthus Oolong Milk Tea (less ice, 100% sweet) Unfortunately, this one was a bit of a letdown for me -- 6.5/10. The flavor reminded me of Kasugai flower candy, and I was hoping for something closer to ChiChaSanChen's osmanthus, which has a much deeper floral note. My friend also gave it 6.5/10, saying it tasted pretty good and was milky, but didn't give her the headache the rock oolong did. read more

I think if you come here you must try the drinks that are very unique to the menu. We opted for the grape and lychee oolong milk tea and both were amazing, never had anything like it! Very light and smooth flavors, with a good presence of grape flavor and lychee flavor. Both were amazing, but I had small preference for lychee read more

Small shop with no line around 5pm in a weeknight. Usually they have a super long line on the weekends so we were excited we got to try it. We got the osmanthus oolong milk tea with homemade boba and because they were doing a bogo promo, we got another drink. The Osmanthus oolong tea flavor is very nice and refreshing with the slight floral from the osmanthus. The boba is warm and really good and not too sweet. It has a good chew and flavor. Overall I'd highly recommend checking ChaHalo out if you have time and if there's no lines! read more
