Walk up the stairs, pull open the heavy door - to reach TBaar near Times Square. The menu is extensive, but they list top drinks. Order on the kiosk. I really enjoyed the grapefruit tea with aloe. I highly recommend this! There was a price discrepancy depending where you go to search for this drink on the kiosk. I think it was $6.25, large size only. Honey aloe green tea $4.95 was not bad too. I got a steamed pork bao bun $3.99 and the salt & pepper corn, but they were both duds. They tasted bad. I do not recommend these at all! The seats inside are cute, like huge bird cages. There is also a large bench on the right side. The server was pretty hands off. Free Wifi (use Kyuramen) No bathroom Credit card only (pay at kiosk) read more

Ambiance: The restaurant itself is unassuming from the outside, but when you go inside, it feels like you have been transported to a little Asian tea house! Service: You order at the kiosk. Once the drink is ready, they call your name to pick it up at the counter. The drinks were ready pretty quickly! Drink: The drinks were delicious after a long day of walking around Times Square. We ordered low sugar, but i felt that the drinks still came out pretty sweet for my personal taste. read more

To summarize: Good drinks, nice looking place. We wanted to get some milk tea and tried a few places around town that weren't very good. We decided to try TBaar and weren't disappointed. We got the TBaar milk green tea and the coconut milk tea and both were pretty good. The girl behind the counter was nice and we got the drinks pretty quickly. It was also good that they had good air conditioning to get out of the heat. Nice pictures inside with some cool looking seating also. read more

I ordered a late night snack, and these people delivered (literally)! I ordered a Taro Smoothie and a Steamed Pork Bao Bun. The Taro Smoothie was interesting...mildly sweet, with the taste of an Oreo cookie! It was quite good. The pork bun had a tasty soft piece of pork inside a pillowy "clam shell" steamed bun with some sweet sauce inside...also, very good. Delivery was super fast, and packing was perfect with the smoothie top securely sealed, so no spillage, at all. Highly recommended for a quick late night snack delivery. read more

My friend and I were in the mood for bubble tea around midnight and decided to drop by Tbaar because it was the only boba shop open near us. I loved the decor and the table pods were a creative idea. There was only one night shift employee, and he was clearly working hard and making teas quickly. I initially ordered a large Aloe Grapefruit Tea, which was rated as their most popular drink. I took two sips and found it to be quite bitter and did not have any aloe. I pointed this out to the staff member and asked whether I can get the Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea with Boba instead. He kindly agreed, but he gave me the smallest size when I had paid for a large Aloe Grapefruit Tea. I figured he was tired, so I didn't bother asking him to replace the beverage with a larger one. However, the Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea did not taste good. I've had this drink several times in other places and have always enjoyed it. The one here just tasted like pure sugary milk and hardly had hints of brown sugar. Also, half of the cup was filled with ice. read more

Self service ordering very convenient, but we asked employee for suggestions and she was nice and answered and let us know her opinion. Got two brown sugar bubble milk teas with tapioca 10/10, you are able to adjust sweetness and ice and milk or milk tea, they print it out on the label for you and announce it when your order is ready. Place was very nice had three main seating areas that are like a booth and had lots of decorations around, also had large seating area near register. Whole place was clean and nice along with bathrooms. read more

Ambiance 5/5 nice seating inside and the bathroom had really good quality hand soap and lotion. Also really nice artwork and decor inside. Also conveniently located above a ramen restaurant so 2-1 boba and ramen and only open boba at the late hour in area. Service 5/5 Quick and efficient despite late at midnight. Food 5/5 They not only had really good Boba and lots of options. They also had good snacks were we got fried squid tentacles and fried sweet potato taro fries with really good breading and hit the spot for a midnight snack. read more

had to go back twice to ensure my order was correct worker forgot to add ice to my drink worker forgot about our overpriced premade matcha crepe cake just bad service overall, place had a lot of garbage like boba straw wrappers and things laying around some light fixtures were falling apart strange vibes from worker overall, they just seemed unhappy, there needs to be more workers, they seeem overworked whoever's supposed to maintain or clean isn't doing a very good job oolong milk tea tastes okay, boba texture is similar to quickly read more

Awesome that this spot is open late-- Drinks are pretty decent, great for late night boba cravings. However we got the purple sweet potato fries (ordered ahead) to snack on but instead we got regular fries.. unsalted. :') read more

Really solid boba, glad to see they have a ton of locations throughout the country. GRAPEFRUIT Their grapefruit drink is surprisingly their most popular, but after trying it I can def see why - it's very refreshing, bright but doesn't have that nasty bitter grapefruit flavor that most people would find off-putting. Of course, if you love grapefruit, even better! But even for non-grapefruit goers I would say this drink is very enjoyable. MATCHA BROWN SUGAR Don't really see this flavor offered at places that do brown sugar, and gotta say I was pleased - solid boba, nice and sweet brown sugar, and a light matcha flavor to boot. Quality boba, would def drink from here if this was an option. NYC has a lot of boba options so it's hard to know where to go, but the good news is it's hard to go wrong with places like this. read more

[NYC BOBA TOUR STOP #44] *My other stops on the boba tour: https://www.yelp.com/collection/4dXTAnFqPHD1D8obaInTZw/nyc-boba-tour I've always thought that bubble tea spots should be made like coffee shops. I love a hole in the wall as much as the next person, but there's something about catching up with a friend over boba and actually having a place to sit down to do the catching up. Tbaar GETS that. Even though I've been to stores that have tables and such, Tbaar might be the first place to actually take into account the whole aesthetic of their store and incorporate their seating into it. The tables inside are circular and somewhat isolated so you feel like you're in a more intimate pod-like setting rather than in public gossipping to your friends but also the eavesdroppers at the table a foot away. We ordered (rating): Tbaar Milk Green Tea with Boba (2.5/5), Fresh Passionfruit Tea with Grass Jelly (3/5), Brown Sugar Bubble Matcha (3/5), Classic Bubble Milk Tea (3/5), Grapefruit & Yogurt I got their green milk tea since I love a good green milk tea, and I saw that it was on their top 10. The green tea flavor was decently strong, which I definitely appreciated, but as a whole it leaned watery rather than creamy. What brought this way down for me was the boba, which was both too soft (almost gummy in texture) for my preferences and tasteless. Soft seemed to be a trend for Tbaar because my sister also found both the grass jelly and the rainbow jellies to be too soft. We came in toward the end of the day, maybe around 8pm, so it's possible it was just because the toppings had been sitting out for a bit? If this is the case, I love that they're open later than boba places usually are (gotta satisfy the late night craving), but if the toppings don't stay fresh it's a bit of a let down. I'll circle back to the ambience for a second because I will say that my friends and I sat at their tables and caught up for an hour or more. They didn't mind at all, and it proved to be great in terms of vibes. In general I think this is one of those "if I want boba and it's nearby, it'll do." I'm interested in seeing if their food might be a better choice if I ever come back! read more

The mango lemonade and coconut smoothie were refreshing and the boba are good texture and size. The interior is a good reprieve from the cold weather. The exterior definitely needs some sprucing. Beware of a few stairs; it's on the 2nd floor. It would be nicer if the staff is friendly. read more

This is a nice, new boba shop that provided some much-needed refuge on a wintry rainy Sunday night when we had to be in the Times Square area for a few hours. They have the best environment of all the nearby Midtown West boba shops, I think - nice seating, digital ordering kiosks, and a working bathroom, though no WiFi as far as I could tell. Unfortunately, they were out of the oolong and four seasons teas before 8pm (they said they're open until 11, but would close earlier "around 10"). I got a large grapefruit yogurt drink with aloe, which was delicious (but I can't speak to the tapioca here). 25% sweet was plenty for me. Prices are admittedly pretty high (including tax and a small tip, almost $8 for the grapefruit drink, same for an oolong milk tea with boba). That's similar to other higher-end boba places in the area, but more on par with the "specialty" drinks. In this economy, I guess anything goes. read more

Walked here excited about the reviews I'd seen on Yelp. It's located on the 2nd floor of a cute little building. I ordered the Lychee Lime Green Tea with lychee jelly. 10/10. Customer service was polite. I grabbed a Strawberry Green Tea with Milk Foam to-go. I think I'll return every day while I'm here on vacay to try something new off the menu. read more

TBaar - Times Square - Lychee Lime Green Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Who doesn't want an intimate bubble tea on Restaurant Row? The lychee lime green tea with 75% sugar (as I remember that I'm giving up sugar for my birthday month in 5 days) is delightful. And the individual cafes in tables (while wobbly) create something of another world as you listen to pop hits blasting gently from the speakers. If you need a moment to chill and hydrate in midtown, this is the place to go. I'll be back! read more

I like TBaar. It's always a solid experience, the price is reasonable (given how expensive boba is these days), and you can tell they use tea to make it (not just sugar and water). I liked that this TBaar had kiosks to order, and that the drinks came out fairly quickly. It was a pretty standard experience, if I'm being honest. I was there on a Sunday in the late afternoon, and it was pretty empty, but the space looked like a cool place to hang out with friends. I'll definitely come back if I'm in the area, but not necessarily a place I'd come out of my way for. read more

Your typical boba place with two of the cute seatings. I think if you go during non-peak hours, you can chill there! Drink didn't taste any special so no need to go out of your way to come here but if you are around, good place to rest and enjoy a cup of tea read more

I ordered the #1 Grapefruit Tea w/ Aloe. It was way too sweet even though at 75% because the kiosk forces me to order a large too. As long as ok as no other option to modify for sweetness. Tried to exchange for a different drink and the barista points to a sign hidden behind the kiosk that there are no exchanges or refunds. Well that's a first. Unsatisfied customer and they totally could have turned it around. Too bad. read more

Decent boba with late open times. Good option for a quick fix if you're craving boba late at night! LOCATION: Super close to Times Square, in Hells Kitchen right above Kyuramen. You actually walk up the steps to the left of Kyuramen to go to the second level (we got lost at first). There are a couple of cool hive-looking tables and chairs for you to sit at. We came around 12:30am on a Tuesday, so pretty close to closing time. We waited around 10 minutes since there were others in front of us. Big shoutout to the worker for getting all the orders done despite being by herself at closing! It was much appreciated. DRINKS/FOOD: Pretty similar tasting to other chains, so nothing out of this world. Definitely makes sense since we came pretty late, but they were out of boba. While the worker made a switch for the brown sugar drink, she used the rest of the boba for the strawberry drink. Unfortunately, there were only like 8 pieces of boba so I wish she just had me switch out that topping as well. The popcorn chicken was good, but didn't come with a sauce unfortunately. At least some sweet chili or spicy mayo would have been good. Next time I have a craving in Times Square/Hell's Kitchen late at night, I'd probably just wait until the next day for a better option. Maybe I'll try again during the day! read more

Came here for late night bubble tea and thought it was great. I got the grapefruit option and it was delicious -- refreshing and not too sweet! They also have some snacks although we didn't get them this time. They're open late which is nice and they have cool tables for seating. I noticed a lot of folks getting takeout orders from here too. read more

My friend and I came for some boba, we were glad this place was open but the experience wasnt too great. We ordered the shrimp tempura thinking it was 5 pieces, when we only got 4, we asked the worker that they forgot one but he said that this menu is 3 years old. Why not update your menu when its right in front if the customer? There were no napkins available either, tables were sticky. read more

Great spot for tea I had the cucumber lemonade on a hot day after a dance class I walked in and found this place they have seating as well.

I'd like to think my kids are boba connoisseurs. After all, they keep a list of places they've been to and the teas they've had, and a ranking. We are San Francisco Bay Area folks, so the choices of boba tea places are endless. This is the only place we've been to twice on our seven day vacation. (Ok, technically three times since the restaurant underneath also serves TBaar tea.) I personally like mango tea with boba or strawberry tea with boba and they didn't have either of those. They have some form of strawberry with yogurt and that didn't sound appealing to me. I had Thai iced tea with boba and that was good. But the kids loved theirs. So yeah, walk a block and a half from Times Square and you'll find this little tea place that serves decent tea. read more

I got the grapefruit green tea and it was spot on. Not too sweet at 50% and tea flavor is not diluted. Boba and aloe were great. Friendly service. Glad I came by! read more
