    Brown Sugar Milk Tea
    Ash B.

    I love when boba shops allow you to customize the amount of sugar and ice -- and combined with their chewy golden boba, this was such a good treat on a hot muggy day in Manhattan.

    Fiftylan is one of my favorite boba chains in NYC, and this time I visited this new Nolita location. The storefront is tiny without any seating. I usually get their bubble milk tea or peach green tea macchiato. *Golden Bubble Milk Tea My go-to drink at Fiftylan. The tea base is fragrant and rich, and the golden bubbles have the perfect chew, not too hard and not soggy. *Dark Lava Milk Tea This was actually my first time trying a cracking drink, and it was so fun! The cracking effect wasn't super obvious for mine since I accidentally dropped it on the way. But I loved sipping the crispy chocolate sauce along with the milk tea. You can also customize it with extra toppings if you'd like. *Both drinks are lactose-free.

    Not sure when they opened a Fiftylan location in Nolita, but I'm glad they're growing more. This is one of my favorite boba shops in Taiwan and they are known for their Golden Boba Milk Tea ($7.60 for large). The boba is soft and chewy with a hint of sweetness. I also like the drink 50% sweet, which gives it a nice tea flavor. I usually take way too long to finish my drinks, but finished this by the time I got home.

    Very small shop but the lady was friendly. I got the ice cream milk tea with golden bubbles with less sugar the ice cream gives the drink a lovely creamy flavor and the golden bubbles had a nice chewy.

    This is a really convenient location near the shopping district to stop by and grab a drink. The menu makes it clear which drinks come hot or iced - if it has a blue ice cube box next to it - and there's options to customize both sugar and ice levels from none to extra-extra. Only drawback is how incredibly small it is inside - it really is a grab-and-go with a small bench against the window. Being grab-and-go is not a huge problem except that when we went even with just a a half dozen people inside waiting to get their drink or standing to the side, we could not actually open the door and walk in until someone left.

    Got the golden bubble milk tea and was very good !!' Will come back try other flavor !

    Lychee black tea

    I got the lychee black tea. It was delicious and refreshing. The tea wasn't watered down at all and I got "golden boba" as my topping which was YUM. Just a heads up they were like mini bobas. Would come again!

    this shop is pretty small. there's only 2 small stools and enough space for about 5 people to fit inside. my drink was pretty good but there was way too much boba for me. it was a nice refreshing drink to help fight the humidity. if you're not a fan of sour-ish flavors, this might not be the drink for you.

    How are you a boba place in 2025 and don't have alternative milks? Also there's a spelling error on the door

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

    The shop was nice and clean and it wasn't too busy when we stopped by…read more I ordered the tiramisu einspänner, which was exactly what it sounded like a generous dollop of tiramisu on top of an einspänner latte. While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

    I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
