With only 3 people in front of us, it took about 15 minutes to make our drinks. I got the new Premium Jasmine Mango Coconut Tea. I mean c'mon now - the drink contains everything I love and hold dear! It's like they customize the drink just for me! LOL. You can taste the floral jasmine green tea right away with juicy mango and coconut water and topped with a smooth, velvety cream foam. Delicious! Not sure how they can blend all these ingredients together but yet you can taste them individually. They gave me the drink in this cute reusable pink bag! That was a nice touch and free advertising for them!

I'm not the biggest fan of this type of milk tea, I usually like deeper flavors and a bit of a richer milk tea otherwise it tastes too milky to me.

I got a boba milk tea as is-the ice ratio was perfect and the tea flavor is strong without being bitter. No moo milk for you? There is an option for non dairy milk for a slight up charge. It's a bit pricey for boba milk tea but the quality of the boba, sweetness level and efficient service made it worth every sip.

And I just unlocked a secret hack: You can order the pistachio cloud (or any clouds!) separately, freeze it, and turn it into homemade pistachio ice cream. It tastes way better than store-bought pistachio ice cream (and cheaper!) This is my go-to HEYTEA location since it's close to my workplace. The staff are helpful and the drinks are usually ready within ten minutes even during lunch hours.

The store is small, but ordering on the kiosk is efficient and doesn't take much time. There is an influx of online orders that I think keep the staff very busy. My friend got the mango bloom and it looked like a very aesthetically pleasing drink. I got the matcha cloud drink and it wasn't something I would get again. The matcha tasted very grassy to me and not my preference. I know they do boba well so I would still recommend trying one of their more famous drinks.

It was pretty crowded in the place though!

Wanted to give this place a shot because I saw top Google reviews. Disappointed in the experience…read more Prices are higher than other spots including HeyTea. I was expecting a bigger drink for $10 but it's like the same size as ordering a milk tea at the bakeries. Guessing 12oz. You can customize sugar and ice levels. Cashier was kind and helpful. Place is open and clean. I thought they'd have kiosks to order but nope. I can't imagine waiting on a long line for this. Drinks were mediocre. The bubble volcano, essentially a brown sugar milk, didn't hit as it should. Lots of ice even though I picked less ice. Passion fruit green tea is good but not mind blowing. Also still sweet for "light sugar."

A quick Yelp search revealed Dragon Tea a few blocks away from me, so off I went. The store itself is pretty small, but there are a few seats available if you prefer to dine in. Additionally, the interior is clean, well-lit and inviting. Arrived during an off time, so my order was prepared pretty quickly. Ordered my usual go-to drink, Passion Fruit Jasmine Green Tea w/ boba. The juice and tea was very refreshing and definitely cooled me down (albeit briefly) from the relentless heat. And I enjoyed the boba and fresh passion fruit seeds as well. Given the boba was an added topping, I would have liked to have seen more boba added. However, they did add in some pieces of lychee which was a nice touch.

Very pleasantly surprised! Few spots indoors, so could be a workspace. Boba Bubble Milk Tea - good boba, marinated well so there was flavor and decent chew. Surprisingly not old boba. Milk tea was fair, no strong tea flavor but close flavor to many black milk tea. Sweetness adjustments were respected, but slightly on the sweeter side (e.g. 0 sugar would still have a light sweetness).

Amazing Creme (Croux) Puffs!!!…read more I got the green tea, black sesame, & earl grey. The cream filling is very generous and the pastry isn't too thick. Loved the outside flavoring.

Stopped in to peruse the scrumptious bakery items Wednesday. They had so many beautiful choices!…read more Service was great. Very nice ladies helped us. The pastry was like a cloud of cream. All the flavors were so yummy! The outside of the pastry was crunchy and delicious. The inside was soft, creamy and melted in your mouth. There are coffee and tea items to order and other merch. Inside of the cafe was quaint and quite busy. There are tables and chairs with fun decor. The Llama is very cute. I will return to try other pastries.

Solid teashop for boba in the NYU area, definitely doing the area a service and a reliable spot…read more Stopped by a few times in the summer for their citrus/summery drinks and found them to be exactly what I needed, refreshing, not too sweet, quick, and authentic. It's got some space to it with several chairs if you need to catch your breath for a second or just hang out with a friend. The staff were friendly and helpful in guiding us through the menu. There are rotating menu items, too. Would love to come back and try their regular boba milk tea to see where they stack, even though nowadays it's all about the teashops like HeyTea and Molly; this place is holding its own and hope it continues to stick around. It's also cutely decorated; lots of wood inside.

It came out as a thick piece of deep-fried toast topped with ice cream, boba, caramel popcorn, and strawberries on the side. Not healthy at all, but really good.

Anyway, I ordered the matcha cheesecake to go. The place itself was rather busy but the to go service was fairly quick. The matcha cheesecake was very good and very unique. It was fairly dense as compared to the cheesecakes I mentioned, which is think is why it's more pricey. I would go back to dine in and try their other cheesecakes.

Overall, it was just okay -- not bad, but not something I'd go out of my way for again. The mango flavor was there but felt a bit artificial and bland, and the sago pearls were slightly uneven in texture. The presentation was nice and the drink looked appealing, but the overall taste didn't quite hit the mark compared to other mango-based drinks I've had elsewhere. The shop itself was clean and bright, and service was friendly and quick, so no complaints there. If you're nearby and craving something fruity, it's worth trying once, but for the price and taste, there are probably better mango drinks around.

I ordered the matcha 3.6 which is matcha with pistachio viennese style cloud, and yes it was super delicious but it was def pretty pricey. The matcha was strong and creamy, and i did rlly like the pistachio cream on top (better than molly tea's pistachio mt!), sweet and not too overpowering with pistachio and in a way pretty light! Id recommend the drink if you like matcha and pistachio. I heard that in heytea labs you get to get the experience of watching the staff make the drinks in front of you, but when i came the staff hurriedly made the drink and left it on the counter. Maybe im overthinking it, but the staff were a bit rude and seemed to not want to interact with the guests despite it not even being busy. Since it was my first time, me and my friend had questions but the girl answered very coldly /: Besides the service i do think the drinks are still very worth trying. Id def come again to try the other specialized drinks tho!!

Most people seem to online order, and as a result there's a huge backup at the pickup counter. Even though the store was almost empty when we walked in it took us 20 minutes to get our drink and even then we had to aggressively point out that our drink was off to the side. It had been ready but the person managing the pickup counter was overwhelmed with the number of online/pickup orders. The tea was good, nothing too amazing. Good tea flavor and the yuzu was a nice touch, but can't say we were too thrilled with it after the frustrating experience in store.
