Michelle is the store manager. If you see them, say Hi and tell them what you think of the drinks. They recently had their grand opening and plan to have food collaborations in the future. For this weekend, the food colloboration will be french macarons. Can't wait to check it out. Employees are friendly and welcoming. You can choose to have less sugar or ice for your drink. If you want toppings (ie boba, cookie crumble, espresso shot, or other items), there is an additional cost. Right now they only serve drinks and no food yet (need to wait for the license, reason for the food collaboration). They also have boba tea plushies if you're interested. Go check them out.

My last visit (Friday afternoon) I ordered a Medium Wintermelon Milk Tea (you can get it without the milk), Grilled Chicken Garlic Noodles and a Grilled Shrimp Rice Bowl. Everything was delicious and very flavorful though I felt the Garlic Noodles were a bit on the saltier side and the Wintermelon Milk Tea was a bit too sweet (and I have a sweet tooth). There were a lot of flavorful chicken pieces and the shrimp came with about 7-8 pieces, also very flavorful. They have 3 different sauces that I was given since I was eating there and just returned it to the counter once done. My favorite of the 3 was the more liquidy one though they all tasted great. The place is located in a strip mall with a lot of free parking. There's some seating inside and one small table outside. It's spacious and clean. They have great background music playing and their unisex bathroom is spacious and clean as well. The food came out in a reasonable time and the staff (I'm assuming maybe the owners) were also very pleasant.

As you would expect, this spot is a bit on the smaller side with jars of tea lining the wall to the back. A smaller selection of accessories are placed in spots where they can fit.

The gentleman behind the counter was kind and answered all my questions and even steered me toward the tea I ended up purchasing. Cute spot in Port Jeff for sure! I hope this place stays around for a while.

As we were on our way out of the Smithhaven mall exiting via the Macy's store, a cute little…read morestorefront bustling with activity caught my eye. When I asked my daughter, "when did that get there?" She responded, "it's new and I hear it's pretty good. We should try it if you're in the mood for bubble tea." Once inside, there is nice seating if you are looking to sit a bit. Looking up at the many choices on the board, the folks behind the counter immediately asked if we were ready to order or needed assistance. As I inquired about the differences between the drinks I was torn between, my knowledgeable server thoughtfully explained the drinks and how I could also customize my sweetness level. The high level of customer service for a mall shop was quite refreshing and more of a reason I would come back. I ultimately chose Sweet Sunshine: mangos and lychee mixed with jasmine green tea, with lychee jelly. If you're in the Smithhaven mall looking for a bubble tea, I'd recommend stopping in and giving Black Pearl Bubble Tea a try. My drink was served up quickly with a smile. Upon receipt, it looked so yummy and I was so excited to try it that I forgot to take a photo. It wasn't till I was half way through and in the car that I remembered.

I told them I'm there to pick up a delivery and they began to brew the tea. They BEGAN the very first step of the process if making bubble tea. It was 12:30 in the afternoon and they didn't have any tea brewed to make this order. They didn't even say "oh that'll be a couple minutes," they just silently began the 10 minute long process of brewing, tea, and sifting the Boba. When they handed me the tea 10 minutes later, they just said "yup." I'm glad that I didn't actually have to pay any money for this nonsense, but I also lost money in the process because of how long it took.

If you only order tea, the area to wait in the front of the store is on the small side, but you can grab a seat at a table while you wait.

Maybe chicken fried rice is not their specialty. I do recommend their boba teas!

The place didn't feel very clean and came off like a cheap ramen spot, but without the taste to back it up. Ordered Slurp Spicy -- 2/5. Too sweet and lacked depth. Didn't feel authentic beyond just the ingredients. Slurp Smooth -- 3/5. A bit better -- chicken and broth were okay. Chicken gyoza -- 1/5. Honestly bad... felt like a waste of money. Staff were nice, and they have a restroom with parking nearby, but I saw workers taking out trash through the dining area, which didn't feel sanitary and hurt the experience. Overall, not a place I'd come back to.

There are endless customized drink options here, so it took some time for me to decide what I wanted to order. Staff was helpful and patient. I chose the iced passionfruit tea with lychee boba, no milk, 30% sugar level and extra ice. The flavor of the drink was incredible. The boba popped sweet lychee syrup into my mouth. My taste buds were overloaded every time I sucked the beverage through my boba straw. I also had a small bowl of coconut ice cream. The texture of this luscious dessert was smooth and mouth coating. It tasted fresh. It also had shredded coconut in it, which made it satisfying and filling. I can't wait to return so I could once again savor the flavor of this cold, creamy and delectable treat. On another day, I came back and tried a custom-made ham and mozzarella cheese crêpe. It was generously portioned and had a memorable taste. However, the crêpe itself was stiff. I was expecting it to duplicate the first crêpe that I ever tasted: the light and crispy one that melted in my mouth one cold February afternoon in Brittany when I was a high school French exchange student, experiencing a culinary odyssey while traveling through France with other American teens and our chaperones during a whirlwind cultural immersion. Don't let the long lines in Arnor fool you. They move quickly. The employees are attentive and friendly. They allowed me to sample some ice cream flavors before I decided to get the coconut. The location is perfect for an after-dinner stroll on date night. It is in a vibrant neighborhood that draws a cosmopolitan crowd. The prices are appropriate for the product quality and upscale ambiance. The only downside is that there is very little seating, so pray that there are seats available when you get there. I certainly recommend that you go to Arnor Crêpes and Bubble Tea whenever you have a craving for some fragrant and flavorful bubble tea, but I do not recommend that you order the crêpe because the one that the server prepared that day deviated from the original recipe, which was created in Brittany, France.
