    This is my favorite boba spot in nyc to get Taro milk tea, they use real taro and its not too sweet. I order this frequently on doordash but this was my first time going in person cause I was in the area. Their onigiri is also pretty good, I got the salmon and avocado one. Its also a big cafe and I saw a lot of people working there

    We're visiting NY and we're exploring DT Brooklyn. We needed a place to hang out at while waiting for a table at a restaurant nearby. I got the strawberry matcha drink since I wanted something with matcha. I thought that it would be a bit sweeter but it wasn't and that's how I wanted it! It's just perfect! The space is cool and seemed like a good spot for working or studying or simply hanging out. You have to self-order from one of the pads/kiosks but it's pretty quick and simple.

    Le Guava.

    Great tea spot with some food options like poke bowls in a spacious location in Downtown Brooklyn. I like that you can order from your phone with the QR code, so it's quick and easy. They offer some teas for only $3/4, which is some of the lowest prices. I decided to opt for the Le Guava ($8.50), which was a smoothie consistency. You can taste the guava bits in there, which was nice. If you're looking for a space to work, this is perfect. It's so spacious, lots of outlets, and nice ambiance.

    In the passage of my travels through Brooklyn my Yelp bookmarks is now check-in and checked the box. My strong proclivity for bubble tea continues. Four Seasons Oolong tea, $4.50 Debutea has my default topping herbal jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 which, of course, I included in my order. The tea alone was average, but with the add-on toppings of my favorite herbal jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 was delicious chilled and fresh. I don't taste any Oolong tea. The herbal jelly was utterly paucity for quantity which appears the industry standard, but for an exorbitant price of $1.00. One word: frugal! I requested "less sugar" which former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg would be proud of my sugar intake level. I highly despise extreme sweet drinks for the high sugar content volume and agree with former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg's limiting sugar level initiatives consumption of sugary drinks. As usual again, the ice melted entirely during my long-haul subway ride home. Debutea is one of the few bubble tea business that actually offers small size while all others practice deception of selling medium and large size drinks intentionally (the intent of no small size available) to hike up drink prices for profit over people. One star because I paid cash as did not receive my $0.10 change as the stolid unapologetic with any empathy Debbie cashier/server stated "we don't have change", but can only produce $0.05 for my entitled change. Ergo, I am duped of my remaining $0.05 change. Obviously, Debutea did not open their cash register at the start of the day with the industry standard $300.00 "seed operating money" for a cashier refers to the initial cash fund, or change fund, placed in every cash register at the start of a business day. I previously worked in two (2) brick and mortar retail stores and it was important to start the day with the industry standard $300.00 cash. Oblivious to Debutea seed operating money is not a priority for a business to function. There are abundant seating but I was in a very despondent dispirited disposition that I wanted to exit. It appears a modern tea business and there are hot food prepared. The double glass tall doors are exceedingly heavy and there is a sign "pull hard" as customers have to really work those muscles. This presents a problem for customers who are physically challenged or have mobility issues. It is very accessible via MTA NYC Transit A and C trains at Hoyt-Schermerhorn Street station.

    JASMINE MATCHA

    Food/drinks: yumm for the matcha jasmine drink, boba is chewy! Atmosphere: okay hidden gem. I want to gate keep this one so bad. It's so good to work from home from! WiFi + outlets + a ton of seating + and so cute inside!! Service: Average! Price: $$ but they have specialty drinks and you're paying for the nice packaging

    Boba Milk Tea
    Makayla N.

    Nice place with lots of flavor options for you to try and a good amount of seating to enjoy your drinks and food if you order it. We bought the classic boba milk tea just to set ourselves a baseline and we really enjoyed it. Service was quick and the presentation was very nice! Would recommend

    Green pomelo

    Great atmosphere, great fruit tea and a polished modern look. Debutea mastered the cozy coffee shop feel through fruit tea. The drinks are unique and are definitely the draw. The food seems to be more of an add on and takes away a bit from the atmosphere that it has been trying to cultivate. When you walk into a coffee shop, you expect to smell coffee. When you walk into a tea shop, you'd expect to smell tea, but rather in this case, some food with it. Taste: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Value for money: 3/5 1) Creamy real ube paste Bobo - quite good 2) genmaicha green pomelo - not bad 3) Unagi don - this was okay

    High quality jasmine green tea latte. Tasty Madeline's. Great atmosphere with lovely decorations. Clean bathroom. Efficient staff members. Will come back.

    MANGO slush(?) and OSMANTHUS GRAPES tea
    Evan C.

    Cute cafe with various drinks and foods available. Plenty of seatings and outlets for the working and studying folks. I liked the osmanthus grape tea drink, it was refreshing and slightly floral, the tea/clear boba can be on the hard side. My partner got the mango slush(?), they said it isn't as good as HeyTea's Mango series.

    strawberry bobo
    Annie L.

    i love debutea! best teas around in the downtown brooklyn area, with a large space for hanging out with friends, studying, or doing wfh. service is super fast, and you can order online! i've spent entire days at debutea and my favorite drinks are the strawberry bobo, bobo milk tea, and osmanthus grape, plus some seasonal drinks that have unfortunately rotated out :') they also serve food like onigiri and poke which are a bit pricey compared to actual poke places but still very yummy!

    I love stopping by this place after work! You can really tell how passionate they are about their teas. I haven't tried any of the food items yet, so I can't comment on those, but the drinks are amazing. They always use fresh, seasonal fruits, and I love that they introduce new drinks depending on the season, which keeps things exciting and gives me something new to try each time. Unlike many places that use artificial powders, they make their taro bubble tea with real taro, which makes a huge difference in flavor and texture. The brown sugar they use for the boba is also incredibly rich and flavorful. I've also stepped out of my comfort zone and tried tea flavors I never thought I would--but ended up loving! The osmanthus tea and genmaicha were both unexpected favorites. Another thing I really appreciate is their packaging--it's always so cute and substantial, not flimsy at all. It gives a very luxurious feel, which makes the experience even better. On top of that, the décor is beautiful--lots of plants, which make the space feel cozy and inviting. Definitely a great spot for tea lovers!

    Taro milk tea

    I got the taro tea which is made with a taro paste which I didn't particularly like because of the texture but it tasted good. The staff members were kind enough to swap it for a matcha tea which I liked a lot more. This was a good spot for meeting a friend or getting work done. Lots of nice chairs and stools by the window.
