    Stopped in here for a tea when they were doing a promotion. I got the passion fruit tea and it was great. The bobas and dessert-y teas look great, and they have caffeine free options too. The inside is small, but there is one table and a small counter. While I was there it was mostly just occupied by those waiting for their teas. I went on a Sunday around 4 and there were 3 other patrons there, but service was still fast!

    This is a really cute tea shop in Koreatown serving boba and fruit teas. I got a peach oolong tea and it was very refreshing, not too sweet. I also enjoyed the small pieces of peach underneath the cup. Service was really fast and there was only one person behind the counter, it took less than 3 minutes to get my drink! There's only 2 small seating areas in the venue, given the small space. Otherwise, the entire experience from ordering to receiving was phenomenal.

    Taro Mochi Cheese Foam

    Sweetea is a small tea shop but clearly made with care. The taro mochi cheese foam milk tea was my favorite. The mochi was soft and chewy and mixed well with the taro. Cheese foam was light and balanced. The mango mochi drink was also good. Even without added sugar it still had sweetness from the real mango jam and popping pearls. Their cookies are house-made too. The pecan cookie stood out for me -- nice nutty flavor and not too sweet. Small cozy space and you can tell they put effort into making things fresh.

    My friend introduced me to this place. She is a big mochi fan. I got myself a cheese foam milk tea mochi. Suprisingly milk tea had a strong tea flavor, mochi was warm. It was a perfect combo with little bit of saltiness from the cheese. We went ther almost closing time, so no need to wait in line. Service was great.

    I was craving a strawberry Matcha latte and I found this place nearby. The shop is pretty small and it smelled like boba lol. They made my drink pretty fast. My strawberry Matcha latte was the perfect amount of Matcha and strawberry purée.

    I got their mochi milk on two separate occasions and it was really yummy! I tried the mango and taro one, the mango one is my favorite of the two! Convenient location and usually very quick to order and get your drink. The staff are nice and patient with you :) Really small shop with limited seats, but ideal for grab and go!

    Large lychee oolong tea

    Looking for some boba in Manhattan? This would be a good option for fruity teas! (Food)/drink: had 3 different teas from here and would definitely recommend the four seasons tea! The lychee oolong tea was not as much lychee as I usually taste in the tea, but likely because I got zero sugar. I've gotten zero sugar before and still tasted a lot of syrup, but definitely tasted more tea here. Boba was good, not too chewy and not bland. My sister had the matcha mochi with fresh milk and said it was a little heavy on the mochi for her, but others may like it! Service: 5/5 quick kind service, 1 server that takes the order and immediately makes the drinks, took ~ 5 minutes. The server was nice enough to sub toppings even if it wasn't possible on the register to sub for a certain drink. Ambiance: small storefront with 2 seats inside and 2 tables with chairs outside, will have to street park if you are driving!

    Taro fresh milk

    Cute little place near Koreatown in Manhattan. The menu consists of mochi milk teas, classic milk teas, fresh milk, oat milk with cheese foam, and a few fruit teas. I'll admit the menu was a little confusing and I'm pretty sure I ordered the wrong thing. There was a Taro Milk Tea/Fresh Milk on the menu which is what I ordered - I thought that meant it was a regular taro milk tea made with fresh milk (I'm used to milk teas made with nondairy milk, but in this case I thought the fresh milk would be fine since it seemed to be a specialty on their menu). What I got instead was taro flavored milk which is not what I expected. There wasn't any tea in it and it basically tasted like regular milk with a hint of taro flavor. Personally I am not a fan of whole milk, and while I can tolerate it as an add-in with other drinks, it's never my top choice. That said, I did think the fresh milk had good flavor. It tasted like high quality milk, much better than dairy milk from the grocery store, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. The service was quick and friendly enough. There might have been a bit of a language barrier that caused some miscommunication about what I was ordering. However based on the quality of the milk drink I got, I would come back and give their regular tea drinks a try.

    Super yummy literally slurped it super quick I got the Oreo Matcha Cheese Foam and my bf got a guava lime drink

    Milk Foam Taro Mochi Fresh Milk, Classic Milk Tea with tapioca

    Walked by this place tonight - temp outside is cooler but not cold enough not to have iced bubble tea :). Anyway, I saw the menu and had items I haven't tried, like the mochi drinks and the ones with coconut milk. Prices are great too, compared to a lot of places in the city. And Sweetea is not far from the Empire State Bldg. Got the Milk Foam Taro Mochi Fresh Milk (I didn't want caffeine) - with fresh taro and cheese foam which I both really like. I asked if it was sweet already and was told yes so no sugar added - perfect! At first, I was wondering what that gooey ingredient was that I was sipping. I forgot about the mochi - it was fine for me. It's a tiny storefront with a couple of tables for 2 outside and a cute bench area indoors.

    What a cute tea shop and right by work! Has a lot of options and very friendly staff. Tea came out quickly. I was excited to see that they had oat milk options because most bubble tea places just have regular milk or cream. I was slightly disappointed because I wanted the oat milk taro with cheese foam and they were out of cheese foam. Tea was great and I will for sure be back to try some tea with jelly

    The other day my friend and I stumbled upon this place. The inside is so cute and aesthetically pleasing. With a photo opp wall for your drinks It was also very clean inside. We got to meet the owner and he was so accommodating and funny. He guided me through the process of ordering and I loved that you got to pick your sweetness level. They also sell coffee & tea as well. They unfortunately didn't have the Oreo Oat Milk drink (was craving something sweet) & I'm not a huge fan of Strawberries, but I listened to the owner after some convincing and got the Strawberry Oat Milk (without cheese foam, due to me being lactose intolerant ). & it was amazing. I finished it in about 10 -15 minutes. My friend liked his tea as well and said it was refreshing! If I'm in the area I would come back! I have the try the Oreo Oat Milk!

Upon arrival we noticed the difference in crowds. Not as busy and packed sidewalks. Also it was a lot cleaner than Chinatown. Since we just ate at C-Town, it was time to find a good dessert place in K-Town. So we walked and we walked until I saw a banner sign showing shaved ice desserts. Then I noticed the name of the business is Grace Street. How fitting, because that is my wife's name. So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk. It also had red bean, but that had to be on the side, since that gives me gout. Such nice staff taking orders and we went into the dining area to find a seat. What a large spacious area with many tables. Our order came out and it looked so good. The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi. Definitely cleaned my pallet from our Chinese lunch and it helped cool me down from the New York heat. We got water, but there was no ice offered, so I asked one of the workers and he was kind enough to get me some. We are through that dessert like, if we didn't finish it fast, it was going to melt. We did not give it a chance to melt one bit. The staff here are efficient, as they saw we were done, they asked to clear our dessert bowl away. It was a nice experience even if it was just dessert. They definitely had more dessert options to offer, but i

The generous serving had creamy, silky layers and was easily enough for the two of us to share. Sweet, light, and refreshing. Plenty of seating, generous portions, and a stop here never disappoints! Located on 32nd St, between Broadway & 5th Ave Train: 34 St-Herald Sq (N/Q/R/W); also an easy walk from Penn Station. Overall, a great casual dessert stop after exploring K-Town, Midtown or nearby Chelsea.

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
