    Affagato latte
    Jenny H.

    MIXUE has received its share of marketing and promo on social media for its soft serve, drinks & pricing. Since we were in the area and the wait wasn't too long, we decided to give them a try. Upon entry you will notice their kiddish red & ability white logos and decor with their snowman caricature. You do self order on the kiosk & pay by credit card only. Then b you go to the counter for pick up once they call your number. We decided to order affogato latte, matcha latte & jasmine float. + pricing - no customization - ask for sample but unwilling to accommodate - affagato latte taste like bad coffee with milk. Unfortunately and rarely will I decide that this is a no for me.

    I've been a few times. The AC wasn't working once so it was unbearable. Other than that the ice cream is great and super cheap. The staff move quickly. I can't complain

    Can't really go wrong with $1 ice cream tbh. Their matcha ice cream is actually really good for $1.69. It's easy to order and pay on the kiosks, and the workers are pretty efficient with churning them out. The vanilla and chocolate ice creams are okay, they both taste vaguely reminiscent of vanilla/chocolate, but not quite like the actual flavor it's supposed to be. It's hard to describe. The drinks are also okay, but hey, can't really complain bc it's so cheap. Thank you China for Mixue!

    Quick easy stop for cheap drinks and ice cream. The ice cream is a bit tart? I think the word is. Id go back and try rhe matcha. Fast service too despite the crowd.

    Mixue is amazing, first Time at this location, less crowded with same quality of soft serves. Ordering is easy, using the kiosks and definitely worth getting the matcha soft serve. The worker will call your order number before serving. Definitely worth giving this brand a try. There are some seats available but feels like more of a grab and go spot, pretty noisy because music is being played pretty loudly.

    A place to get affordable bubble milk tea and ice cream. I won't say it is the best ice cream or boba I've tasted but it is definitely the most affordable one in the city. The service is quite fast as within 2~ minutes of ordering usually we get our order. Sometimes this place is just absolutely packed and sometimes there is just a few minutes wait to get in. Definitely give it a try if in the neighborhood and have a sweet tooth.

    You can still find a $1 cone in New York City and it's at Mixue . Ok ,it's actually $1.19 plus tax so total was $1.30 . But that's only for the vanilla soft serve cone (cocoa or matcha i think was $1.98.) Now it's very creamy and dense and hits the spot on a hot day but it isn't as sweet as most other soft serve. So although I prefer my ice cream a bit sweeter you can't beat this price . Check out Mixue on Canal and Broadway if you're in Chinatown. Take your receipt to the back counter area to pick up your cone .

    IF what you are looking for is above average soft serve that's practically free. Go. If you are looking for high end nuanced flavors. Skip. I was surprised that the matcha was actually slightly strong, in a good way. Better than many that are 3x$

    I was so excited to see this when I was in Chinatown but was disheartened by the long line. The two kiosks are way too close to the exit/door that it causes quite a traffic jam and makes it look way more crowded. Thankfully ordering didn't take long at all but what took the longest was just my soft serve. Eventually my friend saw people going directly up and mentioning their order number to get their order faster. Everything is really affordable and tasty so I do think it's worth a visit.

    Tried the pearl milk tea at Mixue and honestly, it lives up to the hype if you're looking for something cheap and quick in NYC. The pearl milk tea was about $4.99, which is way cheaper than most bubble tea spots in the city. The drink itself was solid creamy, pretty sweet, and the boba had a nice chewy texture. It's not the most premium tea flavor wise, but for the price, it definitely hits. One thing to note is the ordering system, you order through a self service kiosk instead of at the counter. It's pretty straightforward and fast, but it does make the experience feel a bit impersonal. On the plus side, it keeps the line moving quickly, which is nice because this place can get busy. As for seating, don't expect to hang out here. The space is very limited (or sometimes no seating at all), so it's more of a grab and go spot than somewhere to chill. Overall: good value, quick service, and decent boba. I'd come back if I want something sweet without spending $7-$8 at other tea shops.

    I guess you get what you pay for. For the prices you're paying for the ice cream it's not bad but for the milk drinks, it is very bland so I didn't enjoy it. The fruits tea drinks are slightly better but I guess don't expect too much. Luckily the wait wasn't too long the few times I came by if not I would not think it's worth the wait.

    Vanilla Soft Serve ($1.30)
    Lonnie K.

    Mainly came here for the soft serves at the Soho/Chinatown location but was told by staff that they'd run out of both flavors. Okay so fast forward to another day, I was relieved to see people holding ice cream cones at last. So, imagine my face suddenly lit up with joy because I would finally get to try the matcha today after failing twice in the past. Place looked packed towards the storefront as a small crowd had gathered here and there. Almost started turning to the opposite direction and wanting to leave as I thought to myself, maybe I should wait a bit to see how long of a wait it would actually be since I was already here anyway. After placing an order of matcha soft serve by the cashier in the front instead of at the kiosks (card only), I paid in cash for a total of $1.84 ($1.69 + 15¢ tax). Got my receipt in hand and now waiting for my # to be called any moment now. I looked up at the LED screen expecting to see my order ready for pickup (aka fast) just like the other 2 locations in Herald Square + Hell's Kitchen. But, it was still stuck as ready for pickup on the LED screen for the next 20 mins without my # being called. So, I finally went up to the counter to ask. Learned that once you do see your # under the "ready for pickup" section though, you should just go to the ice cream area and ask about your order. The staff would then dispense the ice cream for you right on the spot. Not gonna lie, this process could get a bit chaotic since all the staff looked overwhelmed with many orders backed up at the same time. The theme song was also getting really annoying playing repeatedly in the background. I really don't know how the staff is enduring it every moment. Two huge statues of the Snow King are inside, one by the entrance and one by the counter as the iconic mascot of the store. The Chinatown/Soho location is the biggest of them all with little round tables and seats on the side. Kiosks on the right as soon as you step in. A working restroom is also located all the way in the back for customers only. Matcha Soft Serve: Bit of matcha taste only and not enough imo. But, it's still pretty good for $1.84 total. Vanilla Soft Serve: Has hint of coconut taste. Smooth and creamy, no gap is found in the center. Great deal for $1.30 in total. Conclusion: Would prefer vanilla over matcha soft serve. Love stopping by Mixue whenever I'm in the Chinatown/Soho neighborhood.

    This place just recently opened up and I noticed several locations are popping up fast all over New York City. This Chinatown location was really big and spacious. There were self kiosks to place your order apart from in person at the cashier. I placed my order with it and it went seamlessly smooth! The receipt goes to your phone so there was no worry about losing your receipt! I loved that about self kiosks! I came here a couple of times and my first purchase was a matcha soft serve ice cream cone! It was so good! The matcha tasted high quality for a very low price! I cannot believe that about this place! The horrible thing though is that the ice cream is always sold out by the end of the day! I guess it does make a little sense because you know they are selling out and they make fresh ice cream the following day. I got some thirst tea quenchers when I got here the last time. I got an iced jasmine tea and iced oolong tea without any milk, sugar, or toppings! The drinks were good refreshers! I loved them a lot! They come in a good size that was not extremely small or too big. They were just $1.99 for each tea! The bag was also free of charge so I loved this place a lot! Almost everything is under $5! The place was very huge and packed with people in the booths towards the back when I got here last time. There were benches and some small tables attached to one side of the wall. There was not enough seating but luckily my order was to go so I did not need to worry about seating. I don't think the bathrooms are working in this location because towards the back, there was a rope guarding anyone from going in. There were many shelves for pick up orders but they were all empty. Many people there just place their orders and pick them up fast. The place was loud though with many people talking and did not seem like a quiet place to hang out. The doors were opened up to the loud street on Canal with many people walking back and forth. This place was very casual and the staff were extremely nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants $1.99 iced tea and matcha ice cream!

    This gelateria I…read morecan't believe it took me so long to discover it. Located in New York, small quiet spot, you can't wait inside, it a take out thing, I don't care! Their gelato is delicious and so rich! I was so happy!

    Tiny, clean desert place. No bathrooms for customers…read more Staff are accommodating. Don't be afraid to try to sample the gelatos. Sample them all until you choose the flavor you like. There are different types of cold treats: gelatos and more slushie like consistency frozen confections that are served in a cup. My vegan friend appreciated that he could choose from multiple vegan flavors, not just be limited to the one and only offering, which is what most places usually have. Melon flavor was incredible. Tasted like frozen melon was crushed with ice and chopped into an ice/smoothie blend. Super refreshing. Very sweet, though. All flavors are very sweet, so a small portion can be shared and you will feel satisfied. I personally enjoyed their in-house special flavor of gelato: honey cream with crushed almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts. That was bombastic! Love how nutty the consistency was. I love nuts, so this almost reminded me of a chunky peanut butter situation: just more fine grained and smooth, with gelato being the base. Highly recommend trying this flavor! Focacia was okay. A bit too dry and bland for my liking, but still decent. My favorite item was the pistachio bombolone which is officially now my favorite dessert. This was magnificent! The yeasty dough was so light and airy--perfectly light and balanced. The filling of pistachio cream was very delicate and not sweet at all, which was such a nice surprise. I do not like saccharine dessert. The fresh raspberry jam was a perfect balance to the pistachio cream. I never like jams in my desserts, but this was a perfect complement. Woooow, what a treat! Can't wait to return for it and to try more of their other flavors--hazelnut & chocolate, coconut, white chocolate, tiramisu. You could taste the superb quality of the ingredients. Highly recommend.
