Jooy Tea Shoppe is a modern bubble tea spot that focuses on creative drinks, customizable options,…read moreand unique flavors beyond the usual milk tea menu. 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.

An extensive menu of cold and hot drinks for all tastes--from Oreo matcha slushes to avocado…read moresmoothies to boba teas. Hard to choose from so many options! 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.

Loved the creme brûlée boba. I ordered it on a takeout app…read moreand it was ready for me immediately. I must say that it was not too sweet. The boba could be more thick and chewy in texture. The ambiance of the place was nice. There was adequate seating and the space was clean. I also liked the presentation and the torched sugar atop my drink. Overall, this was a great dessert to end my days.

Happened to walk by the store and saw the sign for tieguanyin soft serve and tea flavored ice cream…read moreis really my soft spot so ofcourse I had to get one to try. I walked in on a Sunday around 5pm and it was empty. $8 for a soft serve is quite pricey but you can get 20% off if you order a drink. The soft serve itself was smooth and had a nice tieguanyin flavor, but a tad on the sweet side and I would've like it if the flavor was a little more intense. The portion is generous as it should because it's $8! I used my spoon to eat it and there were ice cream completely filled from top to bottom. Overall, it's not a must get item whenever I'm in the area given the price but it's a nice treat every once in awhile.

I personally always make a point to get the mala beef rice ball with yellow sauce. It's so so so delicious!!! I hadn't had a mala beef rice ball before the place and I'm shocked more places don't offer it. Sharp, flavorful, and spicy! The yellow sauce provides a creamy/vinegary flavor that cuts the spice really well. I highly highly recommend. Their pork belly rice ball is also quite good - fatty, flavorful, and a good distribution of meat. Their boba is good too! I've had the honey green tea lemonade, which is refreshing and not too sweet. Wait times can be a bit long (up to 25 mins) depending on how many people are working and how many people have ordered. They have an app where you can order ahead, so if you're in a rush, I rec that.

The Mixue theme song can get quite annoying playing it continuously the whole day. I don't quite know how the staff are able to tolerate it without going crazy. Hardworking staff cleaning and mopping the floor all the time. Friendly staff by the cashier and friendly staff making the drinks and soft serves/sundaes. There're two kiosks on the side by the wall if people wanna pay by card. If you want to pay with cash, then you go straight to the counter in the front. Service is pretty fast even if there seems like a long line. The Union Square spot is just as spacious as the Chinatown and Downtown Brooklyn ones. Some seating are found inside ~ high stools or benches. There's no restroom for customers here. Soft serves don't have any gap in the middle. The size isn't skimped either like the Flushing location. There's no option for no ice in the drinks, you've to get it with ice. Matcha flavor isn't just green, actually tastes like matcha. Affordable + refreshing. Apparently, they sell Mixue merchandise at this location too. I'll always come back whenever I'm in the Union Square neighborhood.

Even when it was busy they moved quickly. Except for the jingle that they play over and over on repeat can drive you a bit nuts if you choose to sit there with your order - LOL! Best to grab and go. Still, the prices can't be beat.

Customer service is average. I did obtain my sales receipt. I did obtain my drink label. Vivi's logo is a stylized female sugar-skull/skeleton character. Peach green tea, medium $5.50 There are pieces of fresh peach fruit with my default topping of herbal jelly. The herbal jelly tasted like an ash heap of lumps. As a penchant, the ice completely melted during my long-haul subway ride home. My drink, unfortunately, became room temperature to be tasteless. My drink order was accurately fulfilled. This Vivi Bubble Tea is very accessible via MTA NYC Transit 1, 2, 3 local trains at 72nd Street subway station and B, C local trains at 72nd Street Central Park West followed by a reasonable walk. Currently this business sits hidden under scaffolding. At the register counter there is Japanese beckoning cat, maneki-neko 招き猫 and other Japanese animated characters.

The rose and lychee flavors came through really nicely without one overpowering the other. It was very refreshing and lightly sweet. I immediately finished the drink within 15 minutes haha. Ordering is really convenient through the kiosk, and you would pick it up at the counter once it's ready. It took around 10-15 minutes since it was a busy day. There was a huge group order that they were trying to fulfill, and I think that was the first time I have seen 20-30 drinks lined up on the counter. The shop itself is on the smaller side with limited seating. It's definitely a grab and go spot rather than somewhere you'd sit to hang around. The interior is gorgeous with the sleek and modern aesthetic with wood accents.

It is newly opened as a kiosk, but not a stand alone brick and mortar business. It is the first business at the entrance. Fellow Yelper Susan L. is correct and I thank her for being informative. Be careful upon entering because there are stairs at the foyer leading to a lower level. There are seating available. There is one large beautiful Japanese beckoning cat, (maneki-neko) which adjacent to the cash register. I would rate this business 3.5 stars because their menu selection for fruit tea or green tea is limited for flavor. There is no strawberry flavor, and no Oolong tea. I am only here for the my favorite default grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 (aka herbal jelly) choice topping and to obtain my fortunes. It is very easy to obtain by pulling one red wooden stick which contains a number then locate the drawer to match the number on the wall and pull out the fortune. No one blockage me to obtain these two fortunes. Nota Bene: The fortunes are written in both Chinese (simplified) and English. These Chinese fortune sticks (kau chim 求籤) are inspired from flat wooden sticks inscribed with text or numerals in a Buddhist temple. It evoke wholesome memories of my beloved family member who treks annually to a Buddhist temple obtaining annual fortunes for our entire family prior to Lunar New Year. These red wooden sticks numbers are written in Chinese (no numerals) and my very rudimentary Chinese language skills I matched the characters with the drawer Chinese characters mounted to the wall. I have chosen two fortunes, but unfortunately both were average luck. Grapefruit green tea, medium $7.50 Grapefruit tasted somewhat sour. It contains pieces of fresh lime and lemon. The grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 (aka herbal jelly) was fully abundant in quantity as there was surely no misery for shortage. The ice melted and my drink became room temperature. My order was fulfilled accurately for 30% sugar level request. Customer service is attentive. There is one kiosk machine for credit/debit card payment and ordering. I choose to pay in cash.
