TLDR: A tad overpriced given the small cup size but still worth a visit for their taro drinks, which don't use taro powder. - - - - -- Getting a drink at Moge Tea is quite easy, as they have two self-service kiosks. They weren't too busy on a Saturday night, maybe a few pick up / walk in orders, but not "lines out the door" or a full house kinda vibe, leaving me wondering why since it's in a somewhat busy area of town. The first unique thing I noticed was that they use real taro in their taro drinks - yay! Not many places do this and instead opt for taro powder - ew. But I enjoyed this so much so that I had their Taro Bubble Milk Tea with 30% sweetness and 50% ice. The total came out to about $8, though? How was the drink? As tasty as one could expect with blended taro / puree painted on the sides of the cup and milk tea in the middle. There wasn't boba in the drink, but the taro pieces were enjoyable. At $8 though, I would say that this was definitely not worth it, and I can now see why others may opt to take their money elsewhere. read more

Möge Tee - Taro Bubble Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Was craving a light refreshing option during a hot summery day in the city and dropped by this new tea place in the East Village. The decor inside is quite cute, and they have an extremely vast menu option to choose from. You can customize and mix your favorite things together to create a wonderful concoction, or opt for the pre made options of drink choices to chose from. Every drink comes in a nice reusable plastic cup as well. I decided to get a super fruit green tea with popping boba, and mango and my friend got a traditional milk tea that was with vanilla pudding and crème brûlée. As I am not a huge fan of milk tea or traditional boba, I do enjoy drinking green tea or fruit flavored teas on their own and adding some fruit or gummy element. I thought the quality and freshness was great and it was not too sweet. A nice refreshing change from the traditional bubble tea franchises that you're used to seeing. Would highly recommend! read more

The boba was okay. Staff was friendly. The drinks with the place is kind of a hit or miss as some of the drinks are good and some of the drinks like the slush are pretty meh. Not much ambience, usually just a bunch of students coming in. read more

Staffs were friendly. Ordered via kiosk. You can also buy keychains for $5. Ordered the drinks with ice however the milk and boba were warm, the ice quickly melted. The cups came with cute ears. And there's area with tables and chairs to sit and enjoy your drinks. Please know that if you want the Taro purple drink, please read the description because some drink will caution you. read more

My friend and I came here late on a Friday evening to get tea after hanging out. We each ordered on the kiosk and waited for our drinks to be ready. I ordered a green tea with cheese foam. It came out quickly. It was pretty standard and what I expected. My friend's drink took a little longer as they originally made a slushie drink first when they misread the receipt. All in all, I would come back if I'm in the area again. read more

I came here because I'm on a mission to try all the boba shops in Manhattan. I was a bit skeptical since the review was average here. I walked in and there's two snackpass machines (annoying because did you know this charges you an extra fee too?!). There's one girl working and she didn't even bother to say hi or welcome me. Oh what a modern time, machines replacing customer service. Honestly I'm not a fan of ordering off a machine. If I'm trying a new place I want recommendations. I want suggestions. Anyways ordering ahead on the snack pass app or in shop is the same price. A drink comes out to be over $7 with taxes and fees.. I got the cream brûlée uji matcha at 50% and light ice, well it was pretty much all ice, and way too sweet. The texture is very creamy and the matcha was pretty good. Just disappointed by the overload on ice and sweetness. Half way through the drink, the taste buds do start adjust so it wasn't ALL that sweet but still sweeter than what I was hoping for. The crème brûlée is thicker so when mixed, the drink is not as runny. It was dead quiet in the boba shop, and outlets are blocked so you can't charge laptops or phones. They do offer free wifi but again who doesn't in todays age?! They do have an "employee only" sign on the restroom but the staff told me I could use it. It's very small and overcrowded with cleaning supplies. Overall I do think things could have been better so it's a 2 star. read more

Love Moge Tea. Found this new location and decided to try them out to see the consistency of service, quality and ambiance. Placed my order in the kiosk and found it pretty easy. Now just waiting. Since I'm waiting a quick look around the space makes me wonder why the place put the pick up location deep into the store needing to pass all the tables which means I may get disturbed when I'm sitting to enjoy a drink. While the place is slow, so is service. Sorry. Deduction of star here. Got my drink and looking through a translucent cup I'm concerned about the proportion of cheese foam and slush. It's all white?? Thankfully the taste is in point! Kudos! Still love Moge, quicken service! read more

Möge Tee - Fresh Watermelon Tea (Slush) with cheese foam - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Moge Tea East Village is in a convenient spot right near Cooper Square. It is pretty run-of-the-mill, but the menu is larger than most stores and has more flavors and types of drinks to choose from. You can also adjust the ice and sugar levels. The inside was really, really dirty so we choose to to take our drinks to go, but there is seating inside. I appreciated the variety of fresh tea options, especially as a more refreshing drink when the weather is hotter. One downside was that the fruit slices had seeds - so sometimes you were biting down on squishy boba and other times you chew and it's a hard fruit pit or seed. I did like that the cups had the resealable lid rather than the thin plastic sheet you need to puncture with the straw. Large tea was $6.25 with an additional 70 cents for boba. After tax it came to $7.80 read more

Service was horrible and so rude. I ordered two matcha drinks. The two drinks were completely different shades of green. I asked why they were different and the guy insisted they were the same. Imagine going to a boba place and getting completely gaslit...one was light green and one was dark green. They are not the same! He kept saying they came from the same tea kettle (drinks are premixed) so they are the same. No one is all of the milk from the top and one is all of the sediment from the bottom. NO THANKS. During this exchange, someone who might have been an employee or just the employee's friend also continued this gaslighting experience and tried to tell me that they were the same as well. He kept saying one of the drinks just has more sediment so they are the same. Well sir they did not taste the same - one drink tasted like milk water and no matcha and other one was full of matcha sediment and chalky. NEVER AGAIN! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. So not worth it for the vibes or the product. read more

- overall rating: 3.5 - good not great, works in a pinch - extra .5 stars for being open late even on weekdays - extensive menu - I stick to their basic milk teas, for whatever reason they never get my fruit tea orders right - surprisingly busy around 11pm read more

I was looking for high quality MATCHA and these fools tried to sell me what they said is Uji matcha but is not even real matcha, then they were shocked when I told them I want matcha and water (the traditional way to drink it) I realized in the end this is not the place for high end matcha or quality drinks it's merely for Chinese who don't know anything and wanna drink trendy. I picked the wrong place. read more

Möge Tee is one of the few bubble tea franchises originating in China (est. 2012), and I have to admit, for the longest time, I've had the strangest aversion to Möge Tee, confusing it with yet another bubble tea franchise. We visited this particular location for the first time the other week and ordered the bubble milk tea, fresh lemon green tea, and coco watermelon slush. While the first two were just okay, the coco watermelon was really light and refreshing and better yet, not cloyingly sweet. Furthermore, the service was good and the place was clean, albeit it being really warm inside. read more

I'm a big fan of Moge Tee, specifically their brown sugar milk tea. I'm not sure why it's only at 3.5 stars, as I really love their bubble tea. The pearls are a little sweeter than other bubble tea places (but not too sweat either), and the milk tea just hits right. I've tried many other places but Moge Tee is among my favorites (along with The Alley). read more

I'd give this place 1 star, but since the service was ok and the location was clean and bright, I bumped the place up a star. I came here with a friend and asked if they could do oreo milk without the tea, but with cheese foam (I was looking for a caffeine free option as we were there in the evening). There must have been a miscommunication because what I got was literally milk with crushed oreos, topped with cheese foam (I thought oreo milk was a milk powder, because at other places, the oreo milk is a kind of oreo-flavored chocolate milk). I decided to be open-minded and give the drink a try, so I took it outside and tasted it. Much to my chagrin, it tasted gross. I offered some to my friend, and he didn't like it either, so we had to throw it out. It's entirely possible that their other drinks are much better than what I had, but I was not happy to have paid $6+ for crushed oreos in milk topped with cheese foam. read more

I ever see the mango slush like this light orange color. Didn't taste mango at all and so watery. They put too much ice to mix it, I saw they have left a lot of slush on the blender.

If you're Dr. Watson, it's ELEMENTARY If you have 2 lovers, wanna make it the THREE? If the bathroom's empty, I need to PEE And if you need Boba, go to MOGE TEE! WHAT! One of my fave Boba shops in the whole country, and one of NYC's finest. Might be my fave shop in Manhattan for Boba - and definitely up there, both for consistency of excellent product, and lovely service. Now that I've been to all of them, this is still my fave Moge location in New York City with some of the best service. Sadly, my favourite girl doesn't work here anymore, and had kind of an acrimonious departure for that matter, but they still make wonderful drinks and are willing to go off menu which is great - black tea instead of green, no upcharge as some Moge locations do (looking at you Long Island City), and no flat out refusal (looking at you Chinatown and Flushing). The decor is spectacular and some of my fave in Manhattan, and Barbie loved it as her first ever experience of Moge, so this is the Moge I would come to when trying to introduce someone to the brand, and when in Manhattan, and will continue to come here, because it's just excellent and all the drinks are wonderful. All in all, it's a truly amazing Moge, so much so that I came twice while I was here most recently. I like it significantly better than the ones in both Chinatown Manhattan, Midtown Manhattan, Long Island City, and Flushing's Chinatown Queens. Service and drinks are spectacular and without the questionable attitude that several the other Moge locations have. Now I hope you all listen to me and try it, or at least moge of you anyway.

My friend and I are not really satisfied with the drink. It's alright, but other buble tea places such as Xing fu tang will be first in mind instead of this. I ordered watermelon drink with white bubble, $7.50 ish.. Too sweet, even though i ordered 50%less sweet. Taste artificial and not too natural.. read more

Great spot to grab drinks and enjoy indoor seating which not all drink spots in the area offer! You order from the kiosk and a number will be sent to inputted phone number to let you know when order is ready or when the worker calls your number. Not sure what happens if you only have cash... I love the saltiness of cheese foam so I enjoyed my drink! The tea flavor isn't that strong once you mix it all up and it is the best way to enjoy. The tofu pudding series seems like a new addition to the menu but doesn't seem worth it if you're expecting more of a full on tofu pudding dessert as most it was just milk. The yellow like stuff above the red beans was the tofu pudding which isn't much. read more

I feel like I've been to this place a few years ago, but I hadn't left a review. Probably because it wasn't memorable.

Service is order on the kiosk and pick up your order efficient. read more

It's a quiet, open shop with a lot of space between little chairs and tables. The bubble tea here is known for the "dirty" of the sugar, caramelized around the bobba and slathered around the bottom of the cup as a sticky syrup. I tried the A4, Black Sugar Milk Tea and also tried the A4 Black Sugar Milk Shake (only milk), they use organic whole milk from Whole Foods, and the flavor is great for those who love caramel, for me I'll stick with other bubble teas. And yes, it is more expensive than some of the shops down St. Marks - $5.89 + tax for one medium-sized drink. Will have to try the Flushing version (slightly cheaper) when I get out there. read more

The drinks are good here and you can adjust sweetness and ice as well. I got the cheese foam green tea drink and it was $5.95 for a large. They open until 11:30pm on weekdays which is pretty good. I noticed they also had kiosks available in the front to order drinks. There's seating available inside about 4 tables from what I saw. My friend got the creme brûlée milk tea drink ($6 large) and they really liked it. read more

I hadn't been in the neighborhood in a while so I was very surprised to see such a legit (super asian) bubble tea shop on my way to the movie theater! It was scorching hot today, so I decided to stop in before the movie to grab a refresher - I desperately needed something iced and fruity to cool me off, and would much rather have a fruit tea than an overpriced soda @ the theater. I decided on the sharing cup / "half & half" to try two flavors - green tea and the fresh strawberry tea, with regular ice & sugar. The strawberry tea was a little bit of a slush and a little too sweet for me but the green tea was so fresh and delicious. Even though the drinks are a bit pricey as others have mentioned, I'd love to come back to try the milk shakes / milk teas!! read more

Came here after bbq at gyukaku as it was the closest location for boba! It wasn't super packed when I went in which was great! A lot of the tables had little pieces of trash like tissues/wrappers/drips of drinks on it so they're not the greatest at keeping their tables clean. I got a medium matcha with cheese foam and bubbles- no ice. Price came out to be a little under $7 :/// pricyyyyyy Even though the price was a little steep, I really enjoyed the drink! It came out super quickly- the cheese foam was sweet and slightly salty and cheesy, matcha was nice and creamy with good matcha flavor. The bubbles were nice and chewy. I probably would not come again - as I could get similar boba right down the street at st.marks. Doesnt mean they have bad bubble tea- just that you could get the same thing elsewhere for cheaper:) read more

I came with low expectations, just wanted a quick and simple brown sugar milk with boba. I get my drinks 100% sweet because with a sweet tooth, I'm not picky as long as the drink has a sweetness to it. This drink went even lower than my already-low expectations. The brown sugar milk itself was just okay-- had a surprising nutty milk taste at the beginning that made me like the drink, but I couldn't really taste the familiar brown sugar flavor... so I just take milk. The boba tasted almost plastic-like, and I was so confused that it tasted sour? Even worse, the boba was so evenly undercooked; I ordered a hot drink, which usually makes boba very soft, but most of the pearls in my drink were hard in the middle, and I knew they were undercooked. With every gulp (that I did take), I was left with a weirdly sweet yet chemical-like taste. read more

It's very good location, by 6train Aster place. 69 Cooper Square New York NY 10003 United States I always give 5star at this location. But......While we were sitting with my friends...(thinking) " what we were going to order same thing as usual or something new...? " A woman cashier came to us. " You guys have to Order!!" We were very disappointed. (There were another woman also didn't order anything at all. She ordered right before we left the store!) We ordered Hot Ube drink. Taste 0 star. Please Don't order. It tasted like Rice pudding. read more

This place definitely did well with the aesthetics. They also have quite a unique variety of drinks to order. I was excited to try the dragonfruit beverage, although I will admit it was a bit bland. I tried a bit of my friends taro milk tea which was actually delicious. For the price though, I probably wouldn't come here too often. read more

Cute bubble tea store in the old Cafe Zaiya location right at the entrance of St. Mark's. Their decor is perfect for Instagram! They're known for their cheese foam drinks, but I'm personally not a fan. It was too creamy and heavy and made the cold tea lukewarm, taking away the refreshing taste I wanted. I definitely recommend getting the fruit drinks; I think they're better than the milk based ones. I got the peach oolong tea and the tea itself without the foam was delicious. Not a lot of seats so think again before bringing a large group. read more

As soon as I entered inside, it was too warm. I feel like they should put some AC or open the door. I ordered large brown sugar bubble milk tea at the kiosk inside and it was $9.01. I know I ordered large but it felt a little too pricy. I will never come back for these price.. and I sat down for like 3min but like I said it was too hot to stay there. I was thinking maybe they dont like the customers staying too long? Drink was alright. read more

What do you get after you have 5 courses of Italian food and a separate trip for a decadent swirl of soft ice cream? You get bubble tea to wash it all down of course! Moge Tee was open the latest out of the nearby bubble tea shops in the area so we decided to make the almost 20 min trek over here from wherever we were - I was just following my boba guides in this case. You can order ahead of time online on their own app or through UberEats. In-store ordering takes place on a digital kiosk and you can pay at the terminal as well. On the screen you're able to customize your ice and sweetness level by percentages. We placed an order for about 7 people and only waited around 5-10 minutes for the drinks to be ready which was pretty impressive. I ordered a Super Fruit Green Tea. Super refreshing with a long slice of watermelon (no rind) and thinly sliced rounds of citrus fruits. I decided against any toppings. It was really refreshing after a heavy night of eating. read more

Maybe this tea is very authentic or very traditional. Maybe it tastes closer to how bubble tea is made in Asia, but I didn't like it much. Ass you can see in my profile, I have tried and rated several other tea (bubble tea) shops in NY, DC and Toronto, but this version tasted different (even though I ordered the same Classic Pearl Milk Tea). Maybe other chains I tried before have "Americanized" or adapted to local taste. I think one of of main differences is that is it done with "golden pearls" and not the regular tapioca "black pearls", the milk mix also tasted different. Unfortunately I didn't like it much. Service was good, and the shop is algo nice, I recommend it only if looking for something different. read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE: I thought the staff was okay.. Not very welcoming or with positive greetings. I'm not for sure if they were under-staffed the day me and my friends came in, but we wait for our drinks for quite a while. I ordered the Cheese Rose Oolong Tea. And I gotta say the tea is very distinct, not too overpowering, and the cheese along with it puts a extra twist to the drink. I would recommend this place! There is a wide selection of drinks to choose from, which I want to try more of their flavored drinks! read more

I'm going through sort of a revival with bubble tea. I used to drink it all the time back in college, when I got to the point of not being able to eat a meal without having bubble tea on the side (yup, super healthy), and then, to no one's surprise, fell so completely out of love with it that I didn't start drinking it until almost five years later. Now the pendulum has swung back in the opposite direction and I'm working my way through all the many bubble tea shops in the East Village. I really liked the pineapple tea with boba and lychee jelly, though the syrup didn't manage to penetrate the bottom layer of slush and it was a little more expensive than the other bubble tea places on the same block. The cashier gave me a much appreciated heads-up that the drink would be super cold for early fall, in case I wanted to change my mind and order something else. Also, lots of seating and outlets, as well as some baked goods and Asian snacks if you're not feeling up for boba. But, why for the love of God do you not have a bathroom for customers? The product is liquids, for crying out loud! Maybe they don't want to incentivize people staying around for hours on end but I got about halfway through my drink and started itching to go somewhere else that did offer a bathroom. I didn't even realize a place could just ... not have a bathroom (is this really a thing? I get only having a bathroom for patrons but this is really the first time I've come across an employees-only one). I can't on principle rate Moge any higher because of this glaring omission. read more

Moge Tea at St. Marks place has one of the best bubble teas in town. The dragon fruit slush can be made with absolutely no sugar which is great. They also have many options for vegans. They have contactless order and pick up. The first time you order you get a 20 dollar snack pass credit which is just awesome as it is worth 3 bubble teas!!! The seating area is also very nice and clean. The bathroom is very clean as well which is rare at St. Marks. read more

Moge tea is almost always my first choice whenever I want to have milk tea. They have so many different choices and each one of them tastes so good! My favorite is the dragon fruit smoothie with cheese foam. I loved eating dragon fruit when I was little where dragon fruit is more affordable.... But Moge tea has real red dragon fruit in the drink! And never forget about the cheese foam. I always remove the lid, lick the straw and inside of the lid after I finish the tea lol. read more

Not really a big fan of boba, so I got the matcha cheese foam drink, hot with 30% sugar. The matcha cheese foam combo was delicious, and not as bitter as I thought it would be with less sugar.

So you can stay there and chill/do work for hours now! read more

With so many bubble tea chains opening, it's hard to stand out. But Moge Tee was nice to cosponsor with my college club, so I got motivated to go because of that discount. Moge Tee offers all the drinks currently trending right now, such as Brown Sugar Milk Tea and Cheese Foam tops. I ordered myself the Taro Milk Shake ($5.99) A $6 drink is hella expensive, with their drinks all falling around that range too. Nonetheless, the drinks here are pretty good! The drinks came in cute round cups or tall sturdy cups. I wasn't too big a fan of my taro drink, but it did offer pieces of taro in there! It simply tasted like milk with taro bits and bubbles in it. I was actually surprised by the classic milk tea my friend ordered! The drink was really sweet but I definitely was a fan of their creamy tea taste! Overall, cute, comfy spot to hang and take photos by that floral wall. I would go back if I don't mind paying $6 for a drink again! read more
