    Mango Milk Tea
    Shafina I.

    Love their menu because they offer so much variety. Sometimes there's a bit of a wait but that's excepted for the area. There also isn't any space to sit and enjoy the tea but at least teas are easy to have on the go.

    Large Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea W/ Milk Foam and bubbles added, SOOO good!

    Ordered delivery and it was delivered early and order was correct. I ordered the large iced matcha tea (no milk!) with extra bubbles and no sugar, and my boyfriend wanted the large dirty brown sugar milk tea w/milk foam and bubbles, zero sugar added and light ice. Both were excellent!! He said his was the best bubble tea he's ever had! Highly recommend that drink!! The matcha was great quality. Delicious! And I love the extra bubbles! So good!! Prices are fair. We will order from here again.

    They are the most reliable and consistent in quality with all drinks. My go to bubble tea spot!

    I love boba. Whenever I'm in Hoboken-i have to stop by here. Today i picked up a Dirty brown sugar milk tea. So yummy. We asked for it to have boba but someone wasn't paying attention because they forget to add it. The flavor is delicious regardless.

    One of my favorite bubble tea brands in the tri-state area. Today, I tried grapefruit ai-yu with white pearls. It was a little too sweet even with 0% sugar but tasted great. The wait time was just under a minute.

    Located on the main street of Hoboken. Strawberry matcha latte with strawberry boba - their milk is not as good as Boba Guy's but still not too bad. The strawberry boba is a fun consistency - similar to nata de coco (chewy jelly). Dirty brown sugar milk tea with boba - love the salty foam at the top of the drink. Boba isn't warm/chewy as I would have liked, but still pretty ok. Got this at 70% sugar level and still a tad too sweet. I'd go for 50% next time. There's a groupon+ deal where you can get 30% off your purchase. There's also 10% discount for paying with cash

    I love this boba place and their dirty brown sugar milk tea and Thai milk tea with boba. This location provided quick service but it's very hard to find parking if you are driving there. I get my dirty brown milk tea with light ice, 30% sugar, with plant based milk and I like it!

    LOVE IT SO MUCH SO GOOD I KEEP COMING. Great boba, quick service, and tucked into a nice corner between a couple other Asian stores. Would recommend.

    We've gotten bubble tea here before and it wasn't bad. But this time, it was pretty bad. I had the strawberry matcha tea with strawberry tapioca. The tea was okay, but the tapioca was terrible. It had a weird texture and taste to it. Guess we'll just go back to Kung Fu Tea across the street (not a great option either, but better than this).

While quite a small outpost, I'm glad that a spot like this exists at Chelsea Market! Whereas the upstairs store shelves a plethora of Asian and Asian-inspired decor, handicrafts, furniture and housewares, the downstairs counterpart is like if a grocery and a food court had a small child. I'm not sure how they managed to fit 4 different food vendors along one side of the wall--kinda blows my mind--Mao's Baos, Kimbap Lab, Tea&Milk, and Pearl River Mart Little Eats. I'll be honest I haven't tried the kimbap or baos mostly because I'm not used to paying quite so much for them, though to be fair for the location it's not out of reason considering a single slice of pizza upstairs at Filaga is like $9.** As for the grocery itself, while they're slightly more pricey than other Chinatown groceries that might carry some of the same products, for the exposure and location, again it's pretty reasonable. They carry a mix of food and condiments from different Asian cultures too--for the most part Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Malaysian, Thai, and some Asian American items*. *these may have origins in traditional Asian cuisine with an American or Western influence that makes it different or maybe more understandable or palatable to non-Asian culture, or truly straight up Asian foods that are branded in English. **let's not even get into the convo of why certain cultures' cuisines are considered "fancier" or affixed a higher perceived $ value than others. Sometimes I need to remind myself of this subtle internal prejudice when ascertaining whether it's worthwhile to purchase a food or product.

    I had a lot of fun wondering around Pearl River Mart Foods. It is located on the lower level of…read moreChelsea Market. They sell food to order, with several different options.

    Xing Fu Tang Hudson Yards is a Taiwanese boba shop located inside one of Manhattan's busiest…read moreshopping and dining areas. We walked up to a convenient setup for grabbing a drink while exploring Hudson Yards, with a bright, modern counter that kept the brand's focus on freshly made tapioca pearls and brown sugar-based drinks. Compared to smaller bubble tea shops, the experience here felt more like a quick stop in a high-traffic area, but watching the boba-making process added a more unique element that set it apart from a standard grab-and-go counter. The brown sugar boba milk is the standout drink and the main reason to visit. We ordered one and found the caramel-like brown sugar flavor giving the drink a rich sweetness, while the fresh boba added a chewy texture that made it different from standard tapioca pearls. The drink had a comforting balance of milk, sweetness, and boba, and it worked well as a treat when we were looking for something indulgent. The menu also offered a variety of tea-based and fruit drinks, including options with green tea bases and fruit flavors. We appreciated that the drinks could be adjusted to different sweetness preferences, since the brown sugar flavors can naturally be on the richer side. The tea itself was lighter compared to the stronger brown sugar notes, so choosing the right combination depended on whether we preferred a milkier or more refreshing drink. Service was quick and the staff were friendly during our visit. The location can get busy, especially with the amount of foot traffic in Hudson Yards, so there may be a wait during peak times. The shop is better suited for grabbing a drink while walking around the area rather than a place to sit and spend a long time. The team moved through orders with efficiency, and the drinks came out without much delay. Overall, Xing Fu Tang Hudson Yards is a convenient option for fresh boba in a popular Manhattan destination. While the atmosphere is more focused on convenience than a full café experience, the fresh-made pearls and signature brown sugar drinks are still the main reasons to stop by.

    While exploring the Hudson Yards shops, we came across the XFT store. Initially there store looked…read morereally pretty from far, but as I spent few minutes I noticed how undermined it was. The had a sitting area on the side where all cushions were stained. They had the lucky box on the side, which actually had the luck notes, but this area as also dirty on the floor. There was a huge XFT cup also for photo prop. The store was popular as we so many people stopping by and ordering their drinks. We ordered the famous Gold Foil boba milk tea, which was $17, probably got so expensive due to price of gold rising :p. I also ordered the Mango pomelo sago, but the staff informed me they had no grapefruilt pomelo, but I ordered anyway. The gold foil tea came out quickly. It was well made, boba was good. But the mango pomelo took some time and it wasn't good either. There were chunks of mango that didn't mix well with the milk. I enjoyed the sago but rest of the drink was a bummer. My overall experience at this XFT store wasn't as majestic as the one by St Marks.

We walked into a casual setup with kiosk ordering that makes it easy to browse through the large menu and adjust your drink with different sweetness levels, toppings, and add-ons. The shop is more focused on quick visits rather than being a large café space, with some seating available but a feel that leans toward grabbing a drink while exploring the area. The variety of choices stood out, from fruit teas and slushies to matcha and specialty drinks. We tried the hojicha latte, which had a smooth roasted flavor and felt like a nice alternative to the usual matcha drinks. Their fruit-based drinks and slushies also stand out because they feel lighter and more refreshing, especially compared to heavier milk teas. The menu has a lot of creative combinations, so it feels like a place where you can keep trying different drinks instead of sticking to just one favorite. One thing we appreciated about Jooy Tea Shoppe is how customizable the ordering process is. The kiosk system makes ordering simple, especially when the menu has so many options that it would otherwise take longer to decide, and it makes it easier to experiment with different combinations. The pricing is a little higher compared to some traditional bubble tea shops, especially after adding toppings, but the drink selection and specialty options help make it feel different from a standard boba stop. The variety is probably the biggest reason to come here since there are many flavors that are not as common elsewhere. The service was efficient and the ordering process kept things moving, though the wait can depend on the crowd. Jooy Tea Shoppe is a fun bubble tea spot with a wide selection of drinks and plenty of customization options. The creative menu, fruit teas, matcha options, and seasonal flavors make it a good place to visit when you want something more unique than a regular milk tea. It offers a thoughtful, customizable drink experience that rewards exploration and repeat visits.

We tried crème brule matcha and triple matcha. Crème brule foam and matcha foams were sweet and satisfying. Both drinks were tasty and I'd recommend getting them with 0% added sugar, so the earthy taste of matcha stands out. The matcha profile stood out more than chains like HeyTea and TeaPulse, whose matcha is definitely more watered down & turned into a sweet drink, not an authentic matcha experience. Will be back to try more of their drinks. Service is super slow, which is my only complaint. No bathrooms--go to Whole Foods or B&N nearby.
