    Mango sago pomelo coconut!
    Suanne L.

    SugaBox is a dessert cafe in Manhattan Chinatown specializing in fruity, not too sweet, Asian desserts. I wanted an after dinner pick me up and ordered a coconut pudding. It was light and refreshing and pretty. The cafe is casual, small and narrow, and has seating for a dozen people. When I went on a Thursday evening, it was pretty empty, and perfect for catching up on journaling while I waited for a friend. Clean, fast, tasty, and cute!

    Ordered comb 3 for $20. It was a good snack and dessert for two! Comes with choice of milk tea, snack and the dessert bowl. Plenty of snacks to share.

    Small location for drinks and snacks. There is currently a BOGO 50% off. I like their passionfruit drink as its not overly sweet. You can also opt to add additional toppings. My friend's yakult drink wasn't overly sweet as well. There is some seating if you decide to dine in. Ordering and service is friendly and quick.

    Stopped by while cold weather seasons.... luckily, I got one get 2nd one half price :) I highly recommend here. Boba tea has lots of it into the drink !! I'll def come back again before the promotion ending.

    Came here for a quick bite of after-dinner sugar. We got the Pandas on Pandan. It was cute as a button but bland as.....a button? Anyway, it looked on point but lacked actual pandan or coconut flavor. Textures were nicely chewy, though, and the panda marshmallows themselves were sweet. If you don't care to 'gram your dessert, maybe try something else.

    Three sisters (lychee jelly instead of popping boba)

    Stopped by at this small dessert shop for a sweet treat after dinner nearby. There's a handful of seats but when we came by it was still pretty empty, just a few other people eating. We got the "three sisters" which I liked! The jellies were very yummy without being too sweet, and I appreciated that they let me switch out the popping boba (hate!!) for lychee jelly haha. Portion size was pretty big (fair for the price) Would definitely come back :)

    Specials for the summer

    It's a cute small dessert place in the heart of Chinatown. There's a a couple of places to sit inside but mostly it's a take out dessert place for shaved ices and other sweet treats. We got the special matcha shaved ice. The water melon and popping boba was sweet. The matcha flavor was strong. The ice had a slight creamy texture. The cool treat was perfect for a hot summer day. The staff was friendly.

    Milk tea with boba
    Shelby M.

    This place was adorable, brightly light, and well decorated. I got the milk tea with boba and it was super good. Boba was the perfect consistency and the tea had great flavor. The staff was friendly and helped with any questions I had.

    I've been wanting to try their pandas on Pandan for a while and glad I got to try it on a hot summer day. There's limited seating so that's something to keep in mind if coming here. This is actually a pretty decent sized portion and there's quite a bit of topping. I was always curious what the pandas tasted like, and it's marshmallows!

    Roaming around and decided to stop by this Chinese dessert shop on a 90+ degree day in NYC. The shop is new! Opened maybe a few months. Small shop, friendly service and very clean. The desserts are sooo refreshing and just sweet enough. A welcome treat on this super hot day! Only wish was that they had a branch in Philly!

    Visited this place for the first time and this is a super fun dessert to try. It's great for the summertime and will keep you cool. This chilled dessert came with mangoes, watermelon, jelly, and pudding. This option is dairy-free so i love that they had this option! The coconut milk was also super good and paired well with the dessert. I rarely see desserts like this in Chinatown so happy to hear that there's something like this now.

    GAVE ME THE WRONG ITEM!!!
    Christopher Y.

    I would give them a zero if I could!!! I had placed an order over the phone, arrived at the location, paid and was given something completely different. I had ordered taro mochi (hot dessert) & was given taro mochi milk tea.... After I paid and was given the wrong item I wasn't even offered a refund or something to make the situation better. It's also a joke how this milk tea costed $8 and was a medium (which looks like a small) & the funniest part is, IT DIDNT EVEN COME WITH MOCHI!! What a scam/rip off!! The girl in the front who served it to me basically guilt tripped me into taking it saying "we don't have that on the menu sorry, this is what we made" (keep in mind it's on their menu loud and clear under hot desserts). I would've asked for a refund but there was a line and I didn't wanna hold it up. Very poor customer service & I WONT be coming back! Don't have items on the menu you don't serve anymore & don't guilt trip and force customers to take something they didn't order!

    Pandas on Pandan and Grape Fruit Slush
    Will N.

    Cute, clean interior and playful decor. Saw the fun Pandas on Pandan and wanted to try. Pandas are flavored marshmallows but were not the freshest. Fun textures altogether though. This order also comes with a coconut milk pouch that you get to pour yourself. Not my exact taste of dessert but I admit ordered it for the experience. Food itself isn't outstanding, but the kind staff and setting makes up for it.

    The drinks were highly disappointing. I'd recommend going to chichasanchen or tea pulse instead

    Mango pomelo sago was pretty good and had chunks of real mango. My friend got the watermelon slush and said it was refreshing.

    I got the grape slush, I don't know why, it tastes very artificial. Probably won't go back!
