    Le Guava.
    Cindy Z.

    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
    Annie B.

    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
    Edwin S.

    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!

    Loved their Boba milk tea !!! No added sugar which I really like!! Gonna try come during Halloween for the blueberry matcha!!

    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
    Dana L.

    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.

    four seasons cheese tea
    Alice Z.

    Food: 5/5 | Service: 4/5 | Experience: 5/5 This is a beautiful and large space perfect for working because of the large amounts of seating. I got the four seasons cheese tea, which was very refreshing.

    The Mango
    Jessica G.

    First time at Debutea. Was feeling something sweet and fruity after dinner, and their mango drink fit the bill. While it did have green tea you could taste, it was more of a smoothie with the blended mango. My friend's signature tea with the spring/summer fruits tasted mostly of the grapefruit and was very tart and somewhat bitter because of it. I had thought about ordering that for myself too, but glad I didn't. We ordered on the touch screen/iPad at the counter and entered my name for the order. It was fairly quiet in there so I went up after 5-10 minutes, and our drinks were waiting on the counter. The seating area was quiet, with other patrons on laptops. The music was just the right volume to make our conversation not feel like an awkward volume.

    I ordered takeout from here and it was so fresh and delicious…read more The portion was absolutely generous. They packed the container full. I love how you can pick unlimited toppings and there's so many to choose from. The mango was also really fresh and sweet which was such a pleasant surprise. I got a two protein bowl: tuna and salmon with sauce only the side. The salmon was fresh, tuna seemed not as fresh as the salmon but still ok. The zucchini noodle base is an absolute must try. It was my first trying zucchini noodles and it works so well in a poke bowl. They were fresh and crunchy, eating with the rest of the bowl felt like a kani salad with the cucumber crunch. The two sauce I had: lemon ponzu and sesame shoyu were both okay, nothing too special. Even without too much sauce, the bowl was already so flavorful with all the toppings. So happy and satisfied with my meal!

Nice looking store, I quickly pay and pop smoke. Once I get back to my office, I dive into some Hawaiian 5.0. The freshest salmon mixed with rice and assorted veggies, fantastic lunch! If you're looking for good take out, Hawaii Poke One is a great spot for a Poke Bowl.

    Very solid Chinese food spot. We picked up food to go and the restaurant looked very clean and…read morespacious though no one was eating in. The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

    I had a taste for Chinese food like good old school. Chinese food and I happen to look on one of…read morethe delivery apps and located this place. I found parking down the block and walked over to the restaurant. It seems like more of a delivery spot because there was no one inside sitting at any of the 5 tables. It's a fairly good size space, very simply decorated, mixed with a cool wall resembling a curio cabinet of treasures. I chose a spot in the middle and went to the restroom which was clean and simple. I noticed there were a lot of takeout orders, from delivery services to local folks picking up their regular dinner. I looked over the menu and decided on salt and pepper wings and an order of shrimp. Fried Rice came out first and it was delicious. I even tasted a hint of salted egg yolk mixed into the egg mixture friefried up with the rice that signature crispiness with the little saltiness.... fantastic. The salt and pepper wings were different than the ones i'm accustomed to though the flavor was amazing.It didn't have the fried garlic, peppers, chilis, and onions that i'm accustomed to being in the dish. They were still flavorful, juicy and crisp and I could tell they cooked them fresh.That was much appreciated. I ended up taking half of my food home because I was stuffed.Thank you Msm Ellen and the Crown Garden crew for a tasty solo dinner.
