This was a quaint, little boba shop with quick service. I got the Regular Pearl Milk Tea. For the size, this drink was on the more expensive side. However, the pearls were extremely chewy. I've never had such chewy pearls. The milk tea didn't have much of a tea flavor, but I'd return to try maybe a fruit tea just for the chewy pearls. read more

A small shop with only a small bench and a few chairs more meant to sit in while you wait for your drink than to relax at. The shop is essentially just a counter. They are proud of their tea leaves and even sell by the packages if you want to make your own tea at home. I decided to get black boba milk tea since that is my usual order in every boba place i go. They also offer this in green and oolong. Black boba milk tea - it was actually too sweet and i felt the sweetener was stronger than the tea flavor itself. the pearls were about average/ below average as well. Maybe they are not as known for black tea? Either way, it was disappointing given the high reviews and seemingly focus on tea since i could barely taste it. 1.5/5 read more

My bubble tea crawl continues in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, NYC to make strides in my Yelp bookmarks with Tea Art. The Yelp reviews are true and accurate. I have always been enamored with tea (either hot or cold). The male owner is very welcoming hospitality, friendly and chatty with patrons. I was immediately offered a sample of a Chinese pastry as I stood on line waiting to place my drink order. My primary reason for a visit and patronage is to attain my default grass jelly (loeng4 fan2 涼粉) topping $1.00. Ahh, grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my childhood favorite dessert and summons nostalgia! It is my mission to search for bubble tea businesses that offers grass jelly as a topping for my primary source of patronize. Honestly, I would not patronize a bubble tea business if no grass jelly is listed on the drink menu. It was not chilled, but abundant. I decided strawberry green tea, medium $7.75 with 25% sugar, but I always want regular ice - not light ice. I wanted more ice where the cup sweats profusely from the condensation. The strawberry flavor is light which I was grateful while the green tea is the dominating force as I am enamored with green tea. Business cards are available for grabs which also serves as a loyalty card where after the tenth paid drink is free. Seating is very limited for a bench relaxed casual atmosphere setting. Tea Art is not meant for lounge hibernation with either your cell phone, laptop or a book of prolonged times. I sipped my tea as I walked and travelled via MTA NYC Transit enroute home. read more

Stumbled upon this little cafe while looking for boba one day. Had a nice chat with the owner who was also giving out fresh mochi samples! The cafe is small but doesn't feel cramped, and the staff were welcoming. I got the fresh taro boba, highly recommend! Looking forward to coming back. read more

Quick service, delicious milk tea and very friendly staff! The owner is introducing cold brew to the menu and gave us a sample; it's simply delicious!! They even have dog treats. The space is small so not a lot of space to sit. When I asked about sugar, they clarified saying the drink comes with a default sugar amount and asked if I like my drink very sugary. I really appreciated that clarification! Highly highly recommend this lovely place! :) read more

This was a cute, small little place. There was a couple of benches may be enough for six people total in the store but mainly a Togo place. I had the Barley Milk Boba I thought that was pretty good. Services friendly staff. They do have a Rewards system. Cute place would go again if in the area and craving Boba. read more

Tea Art is a small tea shop close to Soho. The bubble tea here is pretty straightforward, and there are a variety to choose from.

Cute boba spot in soho, perfect for a quick sip of boba or variety of fruit teas. Drinks are priced around $7-8 per boba (even for those without toppings) for a "medium" sized drink, around the same price as xing fu tang but more similar to coco's quality. Service is very good and staff are all very sweet though! read more

Water down tea. Almost 7 dollars for M cup. Go elsewhere! Too many goo de place. We ordered 4 cups all watered down! read more

The best tea shop I've ever been to. Incredibly friendly staff, wonderful variety of teas. The taiwanese lemonade with milk cap was truly one of the most delicious drinks I've ever had. We sampled some of the snacks they are going to start selling within the coming weeks and I can't wait to come back and stock up ! Don't miss this gem! They just opened within the last month and they deserve so much love. Awesome spot to stop in while you're waiting for dinner or looking for a pick me up! read more

What a lovely amazing tea place! Shout out to the incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff! They Spent time explaining all the different tastes, techniques and origins of the various teas and drinks they offer. Also offered multiple samples for me to try and taste. The oolong tea is roasted well and even has a natural sweetness. I love the cold brew green tea. Super refreshing and thirst quenching for the sultry summer! They started the tea leaf with hot water and then cold brew for 10+ hours! I even did some more batches of cold brew on my own with the tea leaves after I finished the bottle - still delicious! One of the best tasting and great quality teas I've had! The La Vie En Rose is very interesting. Just be aware that the ginseng taste is very strong which may be an acquired flavor for some - very prominent herbal scent. read more

Per Andrew's recommendation, we got a hot Peach Oolong with Lavender that was delightful! Sweet but not too sweet and teeming with peach and strong tea flavor. It was perfect for a cold winter day. While we waited, he also offered samples of their Blueberry Slushy, which was icy and, once again, not too sweet. Andrew was so kind and speedy with his service - hope to be able to come back soon! read more

I was eyeing the Thai Lemonade, Barley Tea, and Boba options but got the Formosa Jasmine (a vegan item) with house made Jasmine Matcha Jelly -- can't get this anywhere else in nyc or the world! Locals get credit-based discounts if they use the laundromat next door so this was virtually free. ($1 for topping since only main menu items can be redeemed) I love that the menu features all natural minimal ingredients like ginseng, matcha, local honey, soy milk alternative, etc. The tea tasted fresh and clean. Hits the spot on a sunny summer day. feeling lucky that we have this new neighborhood spot and will definitely be a return customer read more

5/5 for the drink, 10/5 for the owner, Andrew! My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience here! We were greeted warmly by Andrew when entering, and I ended up going with his personal favorite, the wintermelon tea. He made truly enjoyable conversation with us while taking his time to make the perfect drink, and we could immediately tell that he was a kind, genuine person. As a bonus, Andrew gave us cups of caramel pudding to try before handing us the drink. Both the pudding and wintermelon tea were delicious, and Andrew made sure we tried it first in case we needed any adjustments. It was a fantastic experience and I hope the business thrives. I only wish I lived closer, so I could visit more often! read more

came here to get an ice green tea yogurt drink with lemon jelly. It's very good. The store uses real tea leaves to brew the drinks and not artificial powder for the flavor. They also provide non-dairy/vegan options. I also have tried their boba and it's the perfect texture, not too chewy and not too hard. just the right among of chewiness. In addition, the boba is perfect amount of sugar level, not too sweet but also has flavor. read more

I was looking for a place with clean, simple, organic ingredients and I got lucky today! This was the absolute best iced hibiscus tea I've ever had. And I travel a lot and drink tea all day every day. It had a slight roasted flavor to it which I've not had before in a hibiscus & just the right amount of honey. Delicious! read more

The service here was so bad when we went. First of all, the cashier was super rude and my friend ordered the strawberry matcha and they gave her just a matcha milk tea. When she tried to say she got a strawberry matcha the cashier kept arguing with her saying you ordered a matcha. The back and forth kept going on for a while until they finally made her the strawberry matcha. Then we were sitting down and another group of girls came by. One girl was saying if she could get a free drink because it was her birthday yesterday and the cashier was saying well it's not your birthday today so no. It was so rude and awkward and then her friends proceeded to buy her a drink but yeah. The girl working behind the counter was incredibly rude and the drinks were not even that great so I'm not sure why this place has 5 star reviews everywhere. read more

Found this cute tea shop today while walking down Sullivan and was greeted so kindly. I ordered the Formosa Jasmine Tea with the Jasmine Jelly and it was super delicious, I really loved the flavor and texture of the Jelly. They seem to brew their tea quite a while so it is definitely a strong Jasmine tea. They also had creme puffs that I couldn't try (gluten allergy) but they looked delicious! read more

This tea place was truly amazing. It is a nice cozy little spot. I got the winter melon drink with grass jelly. The level of sweetness was just right unlike many other places I have tried. I can give it the best Chinese compliment "not too sweet" The owner and staff were also very nice and friendly. Also got to sample their jasmine tea jelly and pudding. Both were delicious and had just the right amount if sugar level. When asked the owner (who hails from Taiwan) mention each drink recipe was made himself to focus more on the tea flavor than sweetness. This is a must visit store which I believe will soon become a favorite for many to patronize again and again. read more

I tried the Wintermelon Milk w/ Boba and the Peach Yakult w/ Lychee Jelly (as provided on the Staff Reccs Menu) and they were both amazing-- Personally like the Wintermelon one more because I wanted something with milk but both were great. The staff were exceptional and overheard that my boyfriend and I had never really tried Wintermelon before, and they jumped to give us a sample of the tea. First off, amazing to see that there were no added sugars and that all the components of their drinks were individually perfected. We ended up ordering and got our drinks pretty quickly, but while we waited one of the staff members offered us a sample of their pudding topping. It was great to try and extremely kind of the staff to offer, especially because there was no incentive for them to do so as we had already ordered. You can tell that the staff really care about making a great business. They haven't been open for too long, and I hope they receive lots of support so I can go back and try more of the drinks they have to offer. In terms of seating, they don't offer any, but you can easily walk around the area and find some or walk while drinking. You can also get a stamp card to get a discount on your tenth return! TLDR: Amazing drinks, not too sweet, very refreshing. A great pick me up. Relatively not the cheapest but it's some of the best you're getting, especially in Manhattan. Definitely something to try. Staff are amazing and will let you try samples. read more

I loved this place! Stopped by with a large group, and everyone loved their drinks. I had a cold taro bubble tea, and it was perfect (not too sweet). A few of my friends got taro lattes, and they loved them too. We also got free samples of a vegan custard/jelly - delicious! read more

NEW FAVE BOBA SPOT! Andrew the owner was so incredibly kind and accommodating! He gave my dad, sister, and I so many samples of the different menu selections while we were waiting for our tea. The taro milk was made fresh as he goes to the market in mornings to ensure he provides the freshest ingredients for his customer. The grass jelly and boba were so flavorful. The boba was lightly sweet and chewy. Not to mention all the amazing flavors on the menu. Truly such an amazing experience-- fresh, delicious, authentic. Not to mention that Andrew made the whole experience a 1,000/10! We will be back! I highly highly recommend this spot (coming from an Asian boba lover :)) read more

Such a cute spot for tea and desserts! Staff is super friendly and kind, always willing to give advice if you're feeling indecisive. They also carry products from other Taiwanese and Taiwanese American vendors, such as loose leaf teas, jerky, and soaps. The seasonal Taiwanese lemonade is delicious, not too sweet and not too strong - perfectly balanced. The owner/manager also recommended which if the dessert jelly to try alongside my drink, and it was so good! Caramel pudding with tea was a great way to end my afternoon. Will definitely come back to try more drinks! read more

The experience was so good I had to make a yelp account just to give it 5 stars. The tea was absolutely amazing, and in addition to that the owner and workers were the nicest people ever.

Definitely one of the best quality tea shops in the area. The matcha is super high quality, and everything (including the jelly and boba) is made in house.
